Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Enservco Corporation ("Enservco") through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company", "we" or "us") provides various services to the domestic onshore oil and natural gas industry. These services include hot oiling and acidizing ("Production Services") and frac water heating ("Completion and Other Services").

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of Enservco Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC ("Heat Waves"), (collectively, the "Company"). 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the expected operating results of a full year or of future years.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Enservco Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2022. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated net losses of approximately $2.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Our loss from operations decreased to approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with a loss from operations of approximately $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $431,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.7 million.

The Company received net proceeds of $3.0 million from the February 2023 Offering (see Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity). Recent conversions of convertible debt to equity (see Note 5 - Debt) by Cross River Partners, L.P. ("Cross River"), a related party entity controlled by Richard Murphy, the Company's CEO and Chairman, have reduced our indebtedness and associated interest costs, which has substantially improved our financial position. Nonetheless, the Company will need to raise additional capital for its ongoing operations. As the Company seeks additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to the Company on favorable terms, or at all. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets, whether public or private, is subject to several factors including market and economic conditions, the Company’s performance, and investor sentiment with respect to the Company and its industry.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Enservco maintains its excess cash in one financial institution, where deposits may exceed federally insured amounts at times.

Accounts Receivable 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover potential future losses. This allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical collection experience related to accounts receivable coupled with a review of the current status of existing receivables. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining this allowance. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $50,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $100,000 to bad debt recovery. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $0 to bad debt expense, while writing off $237,000 in uncollectible accounts.

Concentrations 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues from two customers represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenues at 17% and 14%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues from one customer represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenues at 34%. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenues from two customers represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenues at 13% and 11%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues from one customer represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenues at 25%. As of June 30 2023, two customers represented more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable at 12% and 11%, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, one customer represented more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable at 55%.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals that are used in the servicing of oil wells and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with the first in, first out method of accounting ("FIFO"). The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventories and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventories based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company charges repairs and maintenance against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments which extend the remaining useful life or expand the capacity or efficiency of the assets. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years.

Any difference between the net book value of the property and equipment and the proceeds of an asset’s sale, or settlement of an insurance claim, is recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. The Company leases trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which may be recorded as operating or finance leases, depending on the term of the lease. 

Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease start date. When our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease start date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The lease asset is increased by any lease payments made at or before the lease start date and reduced by lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease term includes options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes depreciation expense and interest expense for finance leases.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company ceased operations in North Dakota and began the process of working to sell its lone remaining property there, including all land and buildings which have been capitalized for this property into the line item "Property and equipment, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. While it was determined that the criteria laid out below for held for sale balance sheet classification had not been met as of June 30, 2023, it was also determined that it was more likely than not that this long-lived asset group would be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. As such, the Company concluded that triggering events which could indicate potential impairment of this long-lived asset group were present. The resulting analysis for impairment of this long-lived asset group ultimately determined that an impairment charge was appropriate. As such, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $250,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies long-lived assets intended to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

We initially measure a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale. We assess the fair value of a long-lived asset or disposal group less any costs to sell each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded no impairment charges on its held for sale assets.

Upon determining that a long-lived asset or disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and reports long-lived assets and/or the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line item "Assets held for sale" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets received attributable to business acquisitions and combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate impairment may exist, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and the appropriate valuation methodologies are used to determine fair value at the reporting unit level. Identified intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company concluded that there were no triggering events which could indicate potential impairment of its goodwill and other intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition 

The Company evaluates revenue when we can identify the contract with the customer, the performance obligations in the contract, the transaction price, and we are certain that the performance obligations have been met. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided to the customer. The vast majority of the Company's services and product offerings are short-term in nature. The time between invoicing and when payment is due under these arrangements is generally thirty to sixty days. Due to the nature of our business, the Company has no contractual arrangements that include multiple performance obligations.

The Company’s agreements with its customers are often referred to as "price sheets" and sometimes provide pricing for multiple services. However, these agreements generally do not authorize the performance of specific services or provide for guaranteed throughput amounts. As customers are free to choose which services, if any, to use based on the Company’s price sheet, the Company prices its separate services on the basis of their standalone selling prices. Customer agreements generally do not provide for performance, cancellation, termination, or refund type provisions. Services based on price sheets with customers are generally performed under separately issued "work orders" or "field tickets" as services are requested.

Revenue is recognized for certain projects that take more than one day as projects over time, based on the number of days during the reporting period and the agreed upon price as work progresses on each project.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period is computed using the treasury stock method for Company common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options or warrants and is computed using the if-converted method for convertible securities and convertible debt.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were 115,000 unvested restricted shares with service conditions included in the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share since they are participating share-based awards and are considered outstanding as of the grant date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were zero and 25,000 unvested restricted shares with performance conditions, respectively, included in the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share and these shares are also participating share-based awards and are considered outstanding as of the grant date.  

Outstanding warrants to acquire an aggregate of 11,378,196 and 8,675,640 shares of Company common stock have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, because they would be antidilutive. Outstanding warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,192,085 shares of Company common stock have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 because they would be antidilutive.

Further, shares issuable upon conversion of the November 2022 Convertible Note have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 because they would be antidilutive.

Income Taxes 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if, in the Company’s opinion, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as "Other expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America ("USA") and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The Company’s USA federal income tax filings for tax years 2020 through 2022 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years 2019 to 2022.

Fair Value

The fair value of an asset in considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability's fair value in defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, rather than the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company did not have any transfers between hierarchy levels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the award as described below, and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated grant date fair value for all options awarded to employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based upon USA Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant. Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have not historically paid dividends, nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of commissions and fees associated with the sale of the offered securities, as well as professional and other fees associated with the negotiation and filing of the February 2023 Offering (see Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity), that were incurred through the balance sheet date and were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion and continuing sale of the February 2023 Offering (see Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity).

Management Estimates  

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the realization of accounts receivable, evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation expense, income tax provisions and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Classification and Valuation of Warrants

The Company analyzes warrant instruments to determine the classification of the warrants as liabilities or equity. The Company's issued warrants are all classified as permanent equity.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of certain warrants. The expected term used was the remaining contractual term. Expected volatility is based upon historical volatility over a term consistent with the remaining term. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the yield on zero-coupon United States government securities with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Statements - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to ascertain credit loss estimates. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded depreciation expense of approximately $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Refinancing

On March 24, 2022, the Company completed a refinancing transaction (the "Refinancing") in which it terminated an existing 2017 Amended Credit Facility with East West Bank, which had an outstanding principal balance of $13.8 million at the time of extinguishment. Pursuant to the pay-off letter dated as of March 18, 2022 by the Company, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and East West Bank, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, the Company paid East West Bank $8.4 million in cash and agreed to pay East West Bank 5% of the net proceeds that the Company receives under the Receivables Financing (as defined below), up to a maximum of $1.0 million (the "EWB Obligation"). The Company has since paid off and satisfied the $1.0 million EWB Obligation, subsequent to March 31, 2023 and prior to the filing date of this report.

As part of the Refinancing, Heat Waves entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the "Utica Facility") with Utica Leaseco, LLC ("Utica"), pursuant to which Utica provided an equipment-collateralized loan to the Company in the amount of $6.225 million. Under the Utica Facility, the Company is required to make 51 monthly payments with initial payments beginning at $168,075 each and a surcharge of 1% of the monthly payment amount per month for every 0.25% that the prime rate of Comerica Bank exceeds 3.25%. The Company's current minimum payment as of June 30, 2023 under the Utica Facility is $198,000 per month and the loan bears interest at 15.5% per annum. The aforementioned surcharge is discretionary on the part of Utica and was calculated on July 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, and on each July 1 and January 1 thereafter. This surcharge is added to the monthly Basic Rent (as such term is defined in the Master Lease Agreement) due under the Utica Facility, and is due and payable with the next regularly scheduled Basic Rent payment under such schedule and on each payment date thereafter. Upon its maturity on June 24, 2026, the Company is required to make a residual payment to Utica between 1% and 10% of the initial principal amount, or between $62,250 and $622,500 depending upon the Company’s ratio of EBITDA to the sum of interest payments, cash paid for taxes and current debt and capital lease payments during the period. The Utica Facility is secured by all the Company’s equipment and proceeds from such equipment should the incumbered equipment be sold. The Company also has the option, after twelve months, to prepay $1.0 million of the Utica Facility in exchange for a reduced payment schedule. The Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Heat Waves under the Utica Facility pursuant to an unsecured Master Lease Guaranty with Utica.

Further, as part of the Refinancing, Heat Waves entered into an Invoice Purchase Agreement (the "Receivables Financing" or "LSQ Facility," and together with the Utica Facility, the "2022 Financing Facilities") with LSQ Funding Group, LLC ("LSQ") pursuant to which LSQ provides receivables factoring to Heat Waves. Under the Receivables Financing, LSQ advances up to 85% on accounts receivable factored by Heat Waves, up to a maximum of $10.0 million. LSQ receives fees equal to 0.1% of the receivables purchased in addition to a funds usage daily fee of 0.021% of the outstanding balance purchased. The Receivables Financing initially has an 18-month term that can be terminated upon payment of certain fees. The Receivables Financing is secured by a security interest in Heat Wave’s accounts receivables and proceeds from such accounts receivable. Heat Wave’s obligations under the Receivables Financing are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an unsecured Entity Guaranty.

The Utica Facility and the LSQ Facility are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement dated on or about March 24, 2022 by and among Utica, LSQ, Heat Waves, and the Company (the "Intercreditor Agreement").

Lastly, as part of the Refinancing, the Company issued a $1.2 million convertible subordinated note (the "March 2022 Convertible Note") to Cross River. The March 2022 Convertible Note had a six-year term and accrued interest at 7% per annum.

As a result of the Refinancing, the Company recorded a $4.3 million gain on this transaction, as recorded in the line item "Gain on debt extinguishment" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In accordance with ASC 470-60, the Company assessed whether or not the Refinancing met the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Management's assessment of TDR accounting treatment for the Refinancing determined that the 2017 Amended Credit Facility was extinguished as the result of a TDR; however, TDR accounting did not apply to the 2022 Financing Facilities as the 2017 Amended Credit Facility was settled in full and therefore accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

Subordinated Debt with Related Party

On December 21, 2021, the Company issued a subordinated non-convertible promissory note to Cross River for $220,000, which amount was subsequently reduced to $162,000 and then fully repaid in 2022.

On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible subordinated promissory note (the "July 2022 Convertible Note") with Cross River whereby the Company received $1.2 million of capital for general working capital purposes. The July 2022 Convertible Note was set to mature six years from the date of issuance and carried interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum. The Company was required to make quarterly interest-only payments for the first year starting September 30, 2022, followed by principal and interest payments for the remaining five years based upon a ten-year amortization schedule. The July 2022 Convertible Note was unsecured and junior and subordinate to indebtedness which the Company may now or at any time hereafter owe to any lender. Subject to any required stockholder approval, all or some of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the July 2022 Convertible Note was convertible at the option of Cross River into (i) common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.69 per share; or (ii) equity securities issued by the Company in an equity offering with minimum offering proceeds to the Company (net of any related placement agent or underwriting fees) of $1.2 million at the conversion price per equity security issued in such equity offering.

On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Cross River pursuant to which the Company issued a $750,000 revolving promissory note to Cross River (the "Cross River Revolver Note"). On November 3, 2022, the Company entered into a note exchange agreement with Cross River, pursuant to which Cross River loaned an additional $450,000 to the Company and exchanged the Cross River Revolver Note for a $1.2 million convertible secured subordinated promissory note (the "November 2022 Convertible Note") and received a five-year warrant to acquire 568,720 shares of Company common stock at $2.11 per share. These warrants are subject to limitation such that the number of shares that may be issued shall not exceed obligations under rules of regulations of the principal market. The November 2022 Convertible Note has a two-year term and accrues interest at 10.00% per annum, payable quarterly starting March 30, 2023 at the option of the Company in cash or the Company’s common stock. Subject to any shareholder approval required by any exchange upon which the Company’s common stock is then listed, the principal and accrued interest of the November 2022 Convertible Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $2.11 per share or the price and terms the Company receives on its next public offering, which was indexed with the completion of the Company's February 2023 Offering (see Note 8 - Stockholders' Equity). The November 2022 Convertible Note is secured by two Company-owned parcels of real property located in North Dakota. On December 13, 2022, the Company sold one of these two parcels for a combination of cash and a promissory note/mortgage totaling $550,000. As consideration for Cross River releasing its security interest on such parcel, the Company agreed that it will enter into a collateral assignment of the security on such parcel back to Cross River in the event the buyer defaults on their promissory note/mortgage to the Company.

On March 28, 2023, Cross River converted approximately $1.1 million principal amount of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 2,275,000 shares of Company common stock. On June 13, 2023, the stockholders approved at the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the issuance to Cross River of up to 5,122,402 additional shares of Company common stock, including 2,400,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a five-year warrant, issuable to Cross River upon its conversion of certain convertible notes pursuant to a Note Conversion Agreement dated March 28, 2023 between the Company and Cross River.

On June 30, 2023, Cross River: 1) converted the remaining $148,950 principal balance of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 322,402 shares of Company common stock; 2) converted the entire $1,200,000 principal balance of the July 2022 Convertible Note into 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock; and 3) received a five-year warrant to acquire 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock with an exercise price of $0.55 per share.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company renewed certain of its insurance policies. As part of this renewal, the Company financed $1.5 million of the insurance payments to be made over future periods. This financed insurance liability is contained in the line item "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities," with a corresponding financed insurance asset contained in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets," both presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs

We capitalized certain debt discount and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the various debt facilities executed by the Company. These costs were amortized to interest expense over the terms of the facilities on a straight-line basis. The remaining balance of the unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $409,000 as of June 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company amortized approximately $69,000 and $139,000, respectively, of these costs to "Interest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company amortized approximately $20,000 and $27,000, respectively, of these costs to "Interest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6 – Income Taxes 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory USA federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily because of state income taxes and estimated permanent differences. 

Based on management's judgement, the Company estimated that as of June 30, 2023 the amount of deferred tax liabilities that could reverse without an offsetting deferred tax asset was $257,000. Due to this, the Company recognized a $16,000 deferred tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's income tax benefit of $0.2 million was adjusted by the valuation allowance which resulted in a net tax provision of zero.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company leases facilities and certain equipment under lease commitments that expire through June 2026. Future minimum lease payments for these operating and finance lease commitments for the twelve months ending June 30 are as follows (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the components of our gross operating and finance lease costs (in thousands):

Litigation

On May 22, 2022, Ali Safe, acting individually and on behalf of others, filed a class action complaint in United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that the Company and certain of its officers violated securities laws in relation to certain of its SEC Form 10-Q filings in 2021 which required amendments and restatements to such filings. On November 28, 2022, the plaintiff amended their complaint primarily to add Jan Lambert as lead plaintiff and to include Cross River Partners, L.P. and Cross River Capital Management, LLC as defendants.

On February 10, 2023, the Company filed a motion in the United States District Court of Colorado to dismiss the class action complaint, citing a lack of specific facts and evidence brought by the plaintiffs in alleging the Company and certain of its officers committed securities fraud. As described in the motion requesting dismissal, the Company cites a lack and failure by the plaintiffs to bring significant and specific evidence in claiming that the Company and certain of its officers acted in an intentionally fraudulent or misleading manner, in connection with the Company restating its Form 10-Q financial filings for the first, second, and third fiscal quarters of 2021, due to errors relating to complex and technical tax and accounting issues, which did not have an impact on revenue, operating expenses, operating loss, or adjusted EBITDA for the three 2021 quarterly financial restatements.

We believe the class action complaint is baseless and without merit and have engaged counsel to vigorously defend the Company against the claim. The Company has Director’s and Officer’s insurance coverage to defend against such claims and the Company's insurance carriers have been notified about the lawsuit. While we believe the claim is without merit, there can be no assurances that a favorable final outcome will be obtained, and defending any lawsuit can be costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. Any litigation to which we are a party may result in an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal or in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines, or we may decide to settle such lawsuit on similarly unfavorable terms, either of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that our insurance coverage will be available in sufficient amounts to cover such claim, or at all.

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity

February 2023 Offering of Common Stock and Warrants

On February 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a best-efforts public offering (i) 3,900,000 shares of Company common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,100,000 shares of Company common stock and (iii) common warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of  Company common stock (the "February 2023 Offering"). The shares of common stock, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, and the common warrants were sold in units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock or one pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof and one common warrant. Each unit comprised of common stock and common warrants were sold at a per unit price of $0.50. Each unit comprised of pre-funded warrants and common warrants were sold at a per unit price of $0.495, which represents the same per unit price less the $0.005 per share exercise price of the pre-funded warrants. The common warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.55 per share, and have a five-year term. The net proceeds from the offering were $3.0 million, after deducting Placement Agent fees and other offering expenses. Offering expenses totaling $534,000 were charged to stockholders' equity and are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the February 2023 Offering. The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 Conversion of Subordinated Debt to Equity (see Note 5 - Debt)

On March 28, 2023, Cross River converted approximately $1.1 million principal amount of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 2,275,000 shares of Company common stock. On June 30, 2023, Cross River: 1) converted the remaining $148,950 principal balance of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 322,402 shares of Company common stock; 2) converted the entire $1,200,000 principal balance of the July 2022 Convertible Note into 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock; and 3) received a five-year warrant to acquire 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock with an exercise price of $0.55 per share.

Warrants

A summary of warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows (in thousands): 

NYSE Regulation Notice of Noncompliance 

On May 2, 2023, the Company received notice from the NYSE that its equity balance as of December 31, 2022 had fallen below $2.0 million and therefore the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE American's continued listing standards under Section 1003(a)(i) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). As previously reported, the Company is also noncompliant with Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, as a result of its stockholder’s equity being less than the required thresholds for each of the particular sections. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1009 of the Company Guide. The Company has until June 9, 2024 to regain compliance with the stockholders' equity continued listing standards or NYSE will initiate delisting proceedings. On January 10, 2023, the Company submitted a plan (the "Plan") in response to an earlier notice from the NYSE advising of actions the Company is taking to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by June 9, 2024, which Plan was accepted by the NYSE on February 14, 2023. If the Company is not in compliance with all stockholders’ equity standards by June 9, 2024 or does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, NYSE may initiate delisting proceedings as it deems appropriate.

The Company is taking steps to achieve compliance with the stockholders' equity standards of Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide by June 9, 2024. These steps include the conversions of convertible notes into equity as discussed in Note 5 - Debt. The Company anticipates being in compliance with the stockholders' equity continued listing standards of the NYSE American; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable NYSE American listing standards.

Note 9 – Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock

Restricted shares issued pursuant to restricted stock awards are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse periodically, generally over a period of three years. Restrictions may also lapse for early retirement and other conditions in accordance with our established policies. Upon termination of employment, shares on which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to us, resulting in restricted stock forfeitures. The fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a service condition is amortized and charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a performance condition shall be accrued and recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Restricted shares that contain a market condition are amortized and charged over the life of the award.

A summary of the restricted stock activity is presented below:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock of approximately ($16,000) and $180,000, respectively, in "Sales, general, and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs for restricted stock of approximately $475,000 and $496,000, respectively, in "Sales, general, and administrative expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Compensation cost is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of restricted stock vested due to service is likely to differ from previous estimates.

As of June 30, 2023, there is $88,000 of unamortized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock to be amortized over the next six months.

The following table sets forth the weighted average outstanding of potentially dilutive instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: 

The Company awarded 79,262 restricted shares for the 2023 Board of Directors fees and recognized expense of $21,000 and $41,000 related to the award of these shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company issued 50,000 restricted shares during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as part of the severance agreement related to the resignation of a former Chief Financial Officer. This issuance had a grant date fair value of approximately $112,000 and the expense for this issuance was recognized within the line item "Severance and transition costs" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Unvested restricted performance share-based awards totaling 61,000 shares were forfeited as part of the severance agreement.

Recent Developments

On February 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors ("Investors"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a best-efforts public offering (the "February 2023 Offering") (i) 3,900,000 shares of Company common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,100,000 shares of Company common stock and (iii) common warrants to purchase 7,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The shares of common stock, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, and the common warrants were sold in units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock or one pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof and one common warrant. Each unit comprised of common stock and common warrants were sold at a per unit price of $0.50.

The Common Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.55 per share, and have a five-year term. The net proceeds from the February 2023 Offering were $3.0 million, after deducting Placement Agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. 

On March 28, 2023, Cross River Partners, LLP (“Cross River”) converted approximately $1.1 million principal amount of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 2,275,000 shares of Company common stock. On June 13, 2023, the stockholders approved at the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the issuance to Cross River of up to 5,122,402 additional shares of Company common stock, including 2,400,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a five-year warrant, issuable to Cross River upon its conversion of certain convertible notes pursuant to a Note Conversion Agreement dated March 28, 2023 between the Company and Cross River.

On May 2, 2023, the Company received notice from the NYSE that its equity balance as of December 31, 2022 had fallen below $2.0 million and therefore the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE American's continued listing standards under Section 1003(a)(i) in the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). As previously reported, the Company is also noncompliant with Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, as a result of its stockholder’s equity being less than the required thresholds for each of the particular sections. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1009 of the Company Guide. The Company has until June 9, 2024 to regain compliance with the stockholders' equity continued listing standards or NYSE will initiate delisting proceedings. On January 10, 2023, the Company submitted a plan (the "Plan") advising of actions it is taking to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by June 9, 2024, which Plan was accepted by the NYSE on February 14, 2023. If the Company is not in compliance with all stockholders’ equity standards by June 9, 2024 or does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, NYSE may initiate delisting proceedings as it deems appropriate.

The Company is taking steps to achieve compliance with the stockholders' equity standards of Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide by June 9, 2024. On June 30, 2023, Cross River: 1) converted the remaining $148,950 principal balance of the March 2022 Convertible Note into 322,402 shares of Company common stock; 2) converted the entire $1,200,000 principal balance of the July 2022 Convertible Note into 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock; and 3) received a five-year warrant to acquire 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock with an exercise price of $0.55 per share. The Company anticipates being in compliance with the stockholders' equity continued listing standards of the NYSE American; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable NYSE American listing standards.

Recent Market Conditions

The recovery of the economy from the trough created during the pandemic, coupled with geopolitical events of the past eighteen months, had a positive impact on oil prices and hence our business throughout 2022, as well as during the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, WTI crude oil price averaged $75 per barrel, versus an average of $100 per barrel for the comparable period last year. Despite a decline in total domestic rigs in operation, which was 674 domestic rigs in operation as of June 30, 2023 versus 753 domestic rigs in operation as of June 30, 2022, demand for our services remains strong. However, the domestic rigs in operation count as of June 30, 2023 remains below pre-pandemic domestic rigs in operation. The Company has continued to experience increased demand while micro and macro-economic conditions have continued to improve, allowing the Company to expect further improvement compared to the prior year.

The Company's expectations for improved activity are somewhat offset by the change in political environment and its uncertain impact on oil exploration and production, as well as increased inflation and rising interest costs. Reductions or limitations in leasing federal property for oil exploration, in addition to other measures impacting oil and gas supply and demand, have had an impact on the oil exploration and production industry. Finally, to the extent that state and local governments increase regulations, there can be a negative impact to the oil exploration and production industry.

The full extent of the impact of future external influences such as those recently experienced from the pandemic, OPEC+ actions, and US governmental positions on our operations and financial performance depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable. External events such as these and others can have a dramatic impact on our business and operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Our business is highly seasonal, with most of our revenues being generated in the colder seasons of each year (winter and spring). Accordingly, the second and third quarters of each year are traditionally the slow season for our services, as water heating activities are mostly unnecessary for our customers during the warmer months of each year.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $279,000, or 8%, as compared to the same period in 2022. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $608,000, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were due to increases in our Completion and Other Services segment, which were primarily the result of year-over-year increases in demand for our completions services due to a colder than usual spring in the current year, partially offset by decreases in our Production Services segment.

Segment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $280,000, or 60%, as compared to the same period in 2022. Segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.0 million, or 122%, as compared to the same period in 2022. These improvements to segment profit (loss) were primarily the result of cost saving measures that were implemented throughout the second half of 2022, coupled with a slight increase in industry activity as discussed above.

Sales, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $676,000, or 43%, as compared to the same period in 2022. Sales, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $284,000, or 11%, as compared to the same period in 2022. These decreases were primarily due to significant period-over-period decreases in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the prior year severance agreement with the Company's former President and Chief Financial Officer and prior year equity awards issued to our current Chief Financial Officer, partially offset by the current year incurrence of legal costs associated with the class action lawsuit further discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the section titled "Litigation".

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.6 million, or a loss of $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million, or a loss of $0.34 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2022. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.6 million, or a loss of $0.22 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $795,000, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2022. Absent the non-recurring $4.3 million gain on debt extinguishment recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, net loss improved in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year due to year-over-year decreases in our loss from operations which were the result of improvements in almost every operating expense category for the current year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $1.0 million compared to a loss of $1.6 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $14,000 compared to a loss of $1.4 million for the same period in 2022. The $549,000 and $1.3 million year-over-year improvements in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were primarily attributable to improvements in our segment profits (losses), coupled with reductions in our sales, general, and administrative expenses (net of stock-based compensation and non-recurring legal expense) for both periods presented. See the section below titled "Adjusted EBITDA" within this Item 2 for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Industry Overview

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, WTI crude oil price averaged $75 per barrel, versus an average of $100 per barrel in the comparable period last year. The domestic rigs in operation count was 674 domestic rigs in operation as of June 30, 2023, compared to 753 domestic rigs in operation at the same time a year ago. Despite the decline in total domestic rigs in operation in the first half of 2023 compared to 2022, we have continued to grow our customer base and further allocate additional resources to the most active basins. We are focused on increasing utilization levels and optimizing the deployment of our equipment and workforce while maintaining high standards for service quality and safe operations. We compete on the basis of the quality and breadth of our service offerings, as well as price. As much of our completion services segment of our business is seasonal, some of the aforementioned utilization and allocation activities are limited during the warmer months of the year.

Production Services revenues, which accounted for 77% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $221,000, or 7%, to $2.9 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2022. This segment's revenues, which accounted for 46% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $105,000, or 2%, to $5.8 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2022. These slight decreases for both periods were due to decreased activity levels and demand for our hot oiling services, partially offset by increases in activity levels and demand for our acidizing services.  

Hot oiling revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $298,000, or 10%, as compared to the same period in 2022, from $2.9 million to $2.6 million. Hot oiling revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $269,000, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2022, from $5.5 million to $5.2 million. These decreases for both periods were due to decreased activity levels and demand for this service line in certain of the areas we operate in. 

Acidizing revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $77,000, or 33%, to $313,000 from $236,000. Acidizing revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $165,000, or 41%, to $565,000 from $400,000. These increases for both periods were due to increased activity levels and demand for this service line as well as our continued efforts to pursue new customers and partner with chemical suppliers to develop the most cost-effective acid programs available. 

Segment profit for Production Services for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $29,000, or 9%, to $288,000, as compared to $317,000 for the same period in 2022. Segment profit for Production Services for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $497,000, or 104%, to $977,000, as compared to $480,000 for the same period in 2022. These year-over-year changes were primarily the result of changes in demand for this segment's services so far in 2023, coupled with the strong first quarter that this segment experienced.

Completion and Other Services

Completion and Other Services revenues, which accounted for 23% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased by $500,000, or 147%, to $840,000 compared to $340,000 for the same period in 2022. This segment's revenues, which accounted for 54% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased by $713,000, or 12%, to $6.9 million compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2022. These increases for both periods were primarily due to continued completions activity into the second quarter of 2023 which did not occur in the prior year quarter at the same rate. 

Segment loss for Completion and Other Services for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $475,000, as compared to $784,000 for the same period in 2022. Segment profit for Completion and Other Services for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $851,000, as compared to $342,000 for the same period in 2022. These improvements in segment profit (loss), respectively, were primarily the result of the reasons discussed above for Completions and Other Services segment revenues.

Historical Seasonality of Revenues

Because of the seasonality of our frac water heating business and, to a lesser extent, our hot oiling business, revenues generated during the cooler first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, which constitute our "heating season," are typically significantly higher than revenues during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. In addition, the revenues mix of our service offerings changes outside our heating season as our Completion and Other Services (which includes frac water heating) typically decrease as a percentage of total revenues and our Production Services increase as a percentage of total revenues. Thus, the revenues recognized in our quarterly financial statements in any given period are not indicative of the annual or quarterly revenues through the remainder of that fiscal year.

As an illustration of this quarter-to-quarter seasonality, the Company generated 70% of its 2022 revenues (60% of 2021 revenues) during the first and fourth quarters compared to 30% of its 2022 revenues (40% of 2021 revenues) during the second and third quarters.

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses, which include labor costs, propane, fuel, chemicals, truck repairs and maintenance, supplies, insurance, and site overhead costs for our operating segments, were consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. Direct operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $398,000, or 4%, as compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily the result of cost saving measures that were implemented throughout the second half of 2022 which are now beginning to take effect relative to the prior year.

Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $676,000, or 43%, as compared to the same period in 2022. Sales, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $284,000, or 11%, as compared to the same period in 2022. These decreases were primarily due to significant period-over-period decreases in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the prior year severance agreement with the Company's former President and Chief Financial Officer and prior year equity awards issued to our current Chief Financial Officer, partially offset by the current year incurrence of legal costs associated with the class action lawsuit further discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the section titled "Litigation".

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $160,000, or 14%, to $945,000, as compared to the same period in 2022. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $332,000, or 15%, to $1.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022. This is primarily due to the selling and disposing of certain idle trucks and vehicles within our property and equipment, which began in the second half of 2022 and continues to be assessed, as well as the sale our Tioga property and building which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022, both resulting in a smaller depreciable base on which our depreciation expense is calculated.

Loss from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss from operations of $2.1 million compared to a loss from operations of $3.6 million for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss from operations of $2.5 million compared to a loss from operations of $4.6 million for the same period in 2022. These decreases in loss from operations of $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were the result of improvements in almost every operating expense category for the current year as compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $85,000 as compared to the same period in 2022. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $503,000 as compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were due to the combination of interest expense associated with the 2022 Financing Facilities brought on through the Refinancing, the interest costs associated with certain of our convertible promissory notes that we maintained throughout the current year periods, and the rising rate environment that currently exists at the macro level. 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes that, for the reasons set forth below, Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is a valuable measurement of the Company's liquidity and performance and is consistent with the measurements offered by other companies in Enservco's industry.

The following tables present a reconciliation of our net losses to our Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

_________________________
(1) Relates to the Refinancing, as defined and described in Note 5 - Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements and for use within management’s discussion and analysis based on GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided herein.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense from EBITDA and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance as set forth in the next paragraph. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income (loss) to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, impairment losses, etc.) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance (e.g., income taxes, gain or losses on sale of assets, severance and transition costs, other expense (income), non-recurring legal expense, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business.

We use, and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $386,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million for the same period in 2022. This decrease of $873,000 was primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in net working capital, partially offset by year-over-year improvements in our segment profits (losses).

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $185,000 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $203,000 for the same period in 2022. This decrease of $18,000 was primarily due to a year-over-year reduction in net proceeds from disposals and purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by current year collections on our note receivable for the Tioga sale.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $175,000 compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.3 million for the same period in 2022. This decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to current year net proceeds resulting from the February 2023 Offering, partially offset by year-over-year net repayments on our 2022 Financing Facilities.
