Management Comments

Mr. Matt Flemming, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “We executed during the first quarter 2020 on the acquisition of a 20+ year old industry-recognized transportation and drilling rig mobilization company with approximately $50 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, known as “5J,” diversifying us into heavy haul and logistics services. 5J has an excellent reputation in the marketplace built over many years and business cycles using a balanced approach of company-owned and owner/operator independent trucks and trailers to provide transportation services for midstream compressors, heat exchangers, power components, bridge beams, and infrastructure projects. We anticipate 5J will significantly contribute to an increase in our revenues. However, falling oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic have had a disruptive effect on all of our subsidiaries, causing office closures and decreases in customer and market activity in each segment of our business. We believe other strategic acquisitions are available given the market profile today and opportunities presented.”

Financial Review

As stated fully in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed June 29, 2020, the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $5,976,400, an increase of approximately 241%, from $1,752,704 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to the additional revenues of the 5J acquisition completed on February 27, 2020, not present in the year ago comparable period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 101% of revenues, or $6,016,636, compared to 84.5% of revenues or $1,480,715, for the comparable 2019 period. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is primarily the result of the increased non-cash deprecation cost added from the 5J acquisition of $491,781, as the value of the assets in connection with the 5J acquisition were reflective of the purchase price accounting, not present in the year ago comparable period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,497,904, or 41.8% of sales, representing an increase of $1,659,280, from $838,624 or 47.8% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to higher sales covering more fixed costs within selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by higher acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2020 of $1,490,358 resulting from the 5J acquisition.

Other expense, net was $447,091, an increase of $303,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $143,627 in the first quarter in 2019. The increase in other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted from higher interest expense with our revolving line of credit, funding agreements and notes payable, and higher amortization of debt discount, partially offset by a gain on settlement of liabilities compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.
  
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 we incurred a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3,021,354, or $0.19 per basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we incurred a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $710,262 or $0.06 per basic and diluted earnings per share. The net loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 resulted primarily from higher cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, including one-time acquisition expenses, resulting in a loss from operations as well as higher interest expenses, including higher non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of debt discounts, compared to the first quarter 2019. The basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding was 15,686,520 and 12,460,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, our total assets were $37,885,910, comprised of $585,476 of cash and cash equivalents, $9,689,360 in accounts receivable, $18,410 in costs in excess of billings, $173,064 in inventory, prepaid and other current assets of $1,690,626, $23,127,812 in net property and equipment, $750,966 in other assets, $1,721,453 in ROU Asset – operating lease, and $128,743 in net intangible assets. This is an increase in total assets of $31,454,526 over the total assets at December 31, 2019 of $6,431,384.

Our net increase in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $555,122, as compared to a net cash increase of $68,824 in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $585,476 and $30,354, respectively. Based on the Company’s acquisition of 5J on February 27, 2020, current revenue, and anticipated gross margin improvement from cost cutting measures implemented, along with anticipated new growth from cross selling our customers, we believe that we are well-positioned to improve cash flow during the remainder of 2020.
  
At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $6,006,463 of the $10,000,000 of availability under our line of credit. Additionally, we believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the growth, capital expenditures and acquisitions planned for our business through the next twelve months. Currently, we are not a party to any binding agreement with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of businesses. We may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
