Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 that were filed with our Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. Business Vivakor, Inc. (“Vivakor” or the “Company”) is a socially responsible operator, acquirer and developer of technologies and assets in the oil and gas industry, as well as related environmental solutions. Currently, our efforts are primarily focused on operating crude oil gathering, storage and transportation facilities, as well as contaminated soil remediation services. One of our facilities in Delhi, Louisiana sells crude under agreements with a large energy company. A different facility owns crude oil storage tanks near Colorado City, Texas. The storage tank is presently connected to the Lotus pipeline system and an extension to a major pipeline system is being constructed. Our soil remediation services specialize in the remediation of soil and the extraction of hydrocarbons, such as oil, from properties contaminated by or laden with heavy crude oil and other hydrocarbon-based substances utilizing our Remediation Processing Centers (RPCs). Our patented process allows us to successfully recover the hydrocarbons which we believe could then be used to produce asphaltic cement and/or other petroleum-based products. We are currently focusing our soil remediation efforts on our project in Kuwait and our upcoming project in the Houston, Texas area. Deconsolidation On September 7, 2023 we entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell 100% of the common stock of VivaSphere, Inc. (“VivaSphere”) and its assets, which were completely impaired by the Company in the fiscal year 2022, to a private buyer. The transaction closed on February 15, 2024. Under the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price of approximately $7.5 million consists of a promissory note payable (the “Convertible Note”) to the Company payable in full four years after the closing date. In the event the buyer does not close a transaction with a public company within one year from the close of the transaction, then the Company has the right to foreclose on and repossess the assets. The Convertible Note is convertible into common shares of a public company after the buyer closes a transaction to become a public company, which has a ceiling of 17.99% of the total number of shares outstanding of the public company. The “Conversion Price” shall equal the greater of (a) $0.75 per share or (b) the lesser of (i) 90% of the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days of the Common Stock immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Company elects to convert all or part of this Note or (ii) $2.25 per share. Due to uncertainty of the collectability of the principal amount of the Convertible Note, we have established an allowance for the entire amount, and we have not accrued any interest receivable in connection with the Convertible Note. In accordance with ASC 810, as of October 1, 2023, we deconsolidated Viva Wealth Fund I, LLC (“VWFI”), recognizing a gain on deconsolidation of $438,099 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, and as of February 15, 2024 we deconsolidated VivaSphere, recognizing a gain of $177,550 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The assets, liabilities and equity related to VWFI and VivaSphere were removed from our financial statements on their respective deconsolidation dates, resulting in the gains on deconsolidation. Long Lived Assets The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company continued to build its wash plant for planned operations at its Houston, Texas site. The Company evaluated, and determined that there was no trigger event, and therefore there was no impairment incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There can be no assurance that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. Intangible Assets and Goodwill We account for intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). We assess our intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). Impairment testing is required when events occur that indicate an asset group may not be recoverable (“triggering events”). As detailed in ASC 360-10-35-21, the following are examples of such events or changes in circumstances (sometimes referred to as impairment indicators or triggers): (a) A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group) (b) A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition. (c) A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator (d) An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group) (e) A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group) (f) A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The term more likely than not refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50 percent. We performed an analysis and assessed no triggering event has occurred, and no impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue Recognition For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our sales consisted of storage services and the sale of crude oil or like products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, disaggregated revenue by customer type was as follows: $40,132,938 in crude oil sales, and $7,985,998 in product related to natural gas liquids sales. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a Crude Petroleum Sales Agreement with White Claw Crude (“WC Crude”). Both WC Crude Crude Petroleum Sales Agreement and the existing WC Crude Crude Petroleum Supply Agreement(s) are cash net settled at market prices. Related Party Revenues We sell crude oil or like products and provide storage services to related parties under long-term contracts. We acquired these contracts in our August 1, 2022 acquisition of Silver Fuels Delhi, LLC and White Claw Colorado City, LLC. Our revenue from related parties for 2024 and 2023 was $17,119,485 and $9,834,095. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a Crude Petroleum Sales Agreement with WC Crude. Both the WC Crude Crude Petroleum Sales Agreement and the existing WC Crude Crude Petroleum Supply Agreement(s) are cash net settled at market prices. Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has two major customers, which account for approximately 99% of the balance of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. Our two major customers (one of which is a related party) accounted for 99% of the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Net Income/Loss Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by subtracting any preferred interest distributions from net income (loss), all divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method if their effect is dilutive. Potential dilutive instruments have been excluded from the calculation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net loss position. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 our potential dilutive instruments were excluded from the weighted-average calculation as they were antidilutive. Potential dilutive instruments as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 include the following: convertible notes payable, which are convertible into approximately 773,269 and 214,560 shares of common stock, stock options and vesting or unissued stock awards granted to previous and current employees of 2,003,252 and 2,590,968 shares of common stock, stock options and vesting or unissued stock awards granted to board members or consultants of 572,948 and 680,274 shares of common stock. The Company issued free standing stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a third party in a bundled transaction with debt during 2023 (see Note 6), which such stock option was exercised in September 2024 for a reduction in debt. The Company also has warrants outstanding to purchase 399,040 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our critical accounting estimates relate to the following: Recoverability of current and noncurrent assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, effective interest rates related to long-term debt, lease assets and liabilities, valuation of stock used to acquire assets, derivatives, and fair values of the intangible assets and goodwill. While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results but did expand certain disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for marketable securities are classified as Level 1 assets due to observable quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The recorded values of notes payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature, rates, and respective maturity dates or durations.
