PART

Item
1. Description
of Business
Business
Flotek
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “We”) was originally
incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 17, 1985.
On October 23, 2001, we approved a change in our corporate domicile to
Delaware and a reverse stock split of 120 to 1. On October 31, 2001, we
completed a reverse merger with Chemical & Equipment Specialties, Inc.
(“CESI”).
We are a
supplier of drilling and production products and services to the oil and natural
gas industry on a worldwide basis. Our core focus is oilfield specialty
chemicals and logistics, downhole drilling tools and downhole production tools.
We are headquartered in Houston, Texas and our common stock is traded on the OTC
Bulletin Board market under the stock ticker symbol, “FLTK” or “FLTK.OB”. Our
website is located at http://www.flotekind.com.
Information contained in our website or links contained on our website are not
part of this Form 10-KSB.
Our
reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products
and services. Each business segment requires different technology and marketing
strategies and is managed independently.
· |
The
Chemicals and Logistics segment is made up of two business units. The CESI
Chemical business unit develops, manufactures, packages and sells
chemicals used by other oilfield service companies in oil and gas
drilling, cementing, stimulation and production. The Materials
Translogistics business unit designs and manages automated bulk material
handling, blending and loading facilities for oilfield service companies.
|
· |
The
Drilling Products segment manufactures and markets our Turbeco line of
casing centralizers, Turbo-Flo mud shaker screens and external casing
packers for coal bed methane drilling. |
· |
The
Production Products segment manufactures and markets our Petrovalve line
of downhole pump components. |
Our
products use patented and/or proprietary product designs to achieve greater
efficiency and effectiveness than competing products.
Chemicals
and Logistics
The CESI
Chemical business offers a full spectrum of oilfield specialty chemicals used
for drilling, cementing, stimulation, and production. We have laboratory
facilities in Oklahoma and Colorado which design, develop and test new chemical
formulations and enhance existing products, often in partnership with our
customers. The laboratory provides quality assurance to our manufacturing
operations and expert technical support to our customers on existing product
lines. The development of specialty chemicals with enhanced performance
characteristics withstand a wide range of downhole pressures, temperatures and
other well-specific conditions is key to the success of this business unit.
The
customer base for the CESI Chemicals business is primarily oil and gas pumping
service companies, including both major and independent oilfield service
companies. The segment manufactures, packages and warehouses its products in
Oklahoma. We distinguish ourselves through the strength of our innovative and
proprietary products, dedication to product quality and superior customer
service. The division’s products provide measurable productivity increases and
solutions to environmental problems.
Our
Materials Logistics business designs, project manages and operates automated
bulk material handling and loading facilities for oilfield service companies,
and serves as consulting engineers. The domestic customer base for this segment
consists of one major independent oilfield service company which specializes in
pressure pumping, cementing and stimulation services. We also contract with
international customers to design and project manage the construction of bulk
handling facilities. Our client’s bulk facilities handle oilfield products
including sand and other materials for well fracturing operations, as well as
dry cement and additives for oil and gas well cementing and supplies and
materials used in oilfield operations which we blend to specification.
Drilling
Products
The
Drilling Products segment manufactures and sells the Turbeco line of rigid body
and integral joint centralizers, mud shaker screens and external casing packers
for coal bed methane drilling.
Our
Turbeco line of fixed rigid and integral joint centralizers is used in oil and
gas well cementing programs to increase the effectiveness of such operations.
Its primary products include the Cementing
Turbulator, which
we acquired and began distributing in 1994. The tool’s main purpose is assuring
the pipe is properly centered in the well bore thereby obtaining an effective
bond with the formation. We were one of the first companies to distribute
spiral-vane cementing turbulators. The Turbulator has
gained widespread acceptance through its ability to improve oil and gas well
cementing programs and is effective in deep, directional and horizontal well
applications. Additional products that have been introduced in this segment are
the Integral
Pup Centralizer, the
Integral
Joint Bow
Spring Centralizer, the
Eccentric
Turbulator (jointly
developed and patented with Marathon Oil), and the patented Turbo-lok
Centralizer.
We
purchased from Phoenix E&P Technology, LLC, the manufacturing assets,
inventory and intellectual property rights to produce oilfield shale shaker
screens on January 28, 2005. We manufacture and market the Turbo-Flo high
efficiency screens through our existing sales network. The screens feature a
metal backed framing support with a proprietary synthetic coating and sealing
which extends the screen life. The screens consist of two layers of stainless
wire cloth as opposed to the conventional three layers, reducing “trampoline”
effect and maximizing fluid throughput.
On
February 14, 2005, we completed the acquisition of Spidle Sales and Services,
Inc. (“Spidle”). Spidle is a downhole tool company with rental, sales and
manufacturing operations throughout the Rocky Mountains. Spidle serves both the
domestic and international downhole tool markets with a customer base extending
into Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Spidle operates in
the energy, mining, water and industrial drilling sectors.
Our
customers in the Drilling Products segment are primarily oil and gas exploration
and production companies, including major oil companies, which own producing oil
and gas wells and are involved in the drilling and cementing of oil wells. Our
active customer base is distributed among major oil companies and smaller
independent operators. Marketing for our products is primarily focused in the
Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States.
Production
Products
The
Production Products segment manufactures and markets the patented Petrovalve
line of downhole pump components. The Petrovalve line of downhole pump valves
was originally designed in the mid-1980’s and has undergone significant
improvements in recent years. The Petrovalve product line provides longer and
more reliable downhole pump performance than the traditional ball and seat
valves which are the predominant product in the industry. Additionally, the
Petrovalve has demonstrated more efficient flow characteristics and increased
production volumes in many circumstances. Our “Gas Breaker” technology allows us
to provide a solution to gas lock problems often encountered on wells with lower
flow rates or high gas ratios. We outsource manufacturing of most of the
machined valve components, but assemble and perform final quality assurance on
all valves in Houston.
The
Petrovalve product line is comprised of rod pump manufacturers and pump
maintenance and service shops using the industry standard API ball and seat
product, as well as other proprietary valve products. Our
customers in the Downhole Production Products segment are primarily major oil
and gas exploration and production companies. The majority of the sales in this
segment are international sales.
Product
Demand and Marketing
The
demand for our products and services is generally correlated to the level of oil
and gas drilling activity, both in the United States and internationally.
Drilling activity, in turn, is generally dependent on the price levels of oil
and gas. Certain products, particularly the Petrovalve line and some of our
specialty chemicals, are more closely related to the production of oil and gas
and demand is less dependent on drilling activity.
We market
our products primarily through direct sales to our customers by company managers
and sales employees. We have established customer relationships which provides
for repeat sales. Five customers accounted for 47% of consolidated revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2004. The majority of these sales were in the
Chemicals and Logistics segment and collectively accounted for 57% of the
revenues in this segment.
Government
Regulation, Operating Risks and Insurance
We are
subject to federal, state and local environmental and occupational safety and
health laws and regulations in the United States and other countries in which we
do business. We strive to fully comply with these requirements and are not aware
of any material instances of noncompliance. However, these requirements are
complex and assuring compliance is often difficult. The enforcement of these
laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future and could have a
material impact on our costs of operations. Non-compliance could also subject us
to material liabilities, such as government fines, third-party lawsuits or even
the suspension of operations.
Many of
the products within our specialty chemicals segment are considered hazardous or
flammable. The majority of such products are reasonably stable and generally
require only ordinary care in handling and transportation. However, we do have
risks in handling the materials in this segment and if a leak or spill occurs in
connection with our operations, we could incur material costs, net of insurance,
to remediate any resulting contamination.
In
addition, our products are used for the exploration and production of oil and
natural gas. Such operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and gas
industry, such as fires, explosions, blowouts and oil spills. These hazards can
cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property,
equipment, environment, marine life and suspension of operations. Litigation
arising from an occurrence at a location where our products or services are used
or provided could, in the future, result in us being named as a defendant in
lawsuits asserting potentially significant claims. We maintain insurance
coverage that we believe to be reasonable and customary in the industry against
these hazards.
We are
currently not named or involved in any litigation.
Research
and Development and Intellectual Property
We are
actively involved in developing proprietary products to expand our existing
product lines and in developing new technologies. We have followed a policy of
seeking patent protection both within and outside the United States for products
and methods that appear to have commercial significance and qualify for patent
protection. The decision to seek patent protection considers whether such
protection can be obtained on a cost-effective basis and is likely to be
effective in protecting our commercial interests. We believe our patents and
trademarks, together with our trade secrets and proprietary design,
manufacturing and operational expertise, are reasonably adequate to protect our
intellectual property and provide for the continued operation of our business.
However, our competitors may attempt to circumvent these patent protections or
develop new technologies which compete with our products.
International
Operations
The
majority of our revenues and operations are currently derived and conducted
within the United States. However, we have been expanding our international
sales efforts and we expect international sales to continue to increase.
Internationally we operate primarily through agents in Canada, Mexico, Central
and South America, Middle East, Asia and Russia.
International
sales involve additional business and credit risks inherent in doing business in
countries with legal and political policies different from those in the United
States. Those risks can include war, boycotts, legal and political changes and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Employees
As of
March 30, 2005, we employed 107 full-time employees. None of our employees are
covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Risk
Factors
Our
results of operations could be adversely affected if our business assumptions do
not prove to be accurate or if adverse changes occur, including but not limited
to the following areas:
Business
Risks
· |
Decline
in or increased volatility in oil and natural gas prices that would
adversely affect our customers and the energy
industry. |
· |
Decline
in drilling activity. |
· |
Increase
in prices for products used by us in our
operations. |
· |
Severe
weather conditions, for example, hurricanes can have a direct impact on
activity levels in the affected areas and oil and gas
prices. |
· |
The
oilfield service industry is highly competitive, and we must compete with
many companies possessing greater financial resources and better
established market positions. |
· |
The
introduction of new products and technologies by competitors may adversely
affect the demand for our products and
services. |
· |
The
potential for unexpected litigation. |
Risks
of Economic Downturn. In the
event of an economic downturn in the United States and/or globally there may be
decreased demand and lower prices for oil and natural gas and therefore for our
products and services. Our customers are generally involved in the energy
industry, and if these customers experience a business decline, we could be
subject to increased exposure to credit risk. If an economic downturn occurs,
our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Risks
from Operating Hazards. Our
operations are subject to hazards present in the oil and natural gas industry
which can cause personal injury and damage to property or the
environment.
Risks
from Unexpected Litigation. We have
insurance coverage against operating hazards, which we believe is customary in
the industry. This insurance has deductibles and contains certain coverage
exclusions. Our insurance premiums can be increased or decreased based on the
claims we make on our insurance policies. Results of operations could be
adversely affected by unexpected claims not covered by insurance.
Risks
from International Operations. Our
international operations are subject to special risks that can materially affect
the Company’s sales and profits. These risks include:
· |
Limits
on access to international markets. |
· |
Unsettled
political conditions, wars, civil unrest, and hostilities in some
petroleum-producing and consuming countries and regions where we operate
or seek to operate. |
· |
Fluctuations
and changes in currency exchange rates. |
· |
Governmental
action to the general legislative and regulatory environment, exchange
controls, changes in global trade policies such as trade restrictions and
embargos by the United States and other countries, and changes in
international business, political and economic conditions.
|
Many of
these risks are beyond our control. In addition, future trends for pricing,
margins, revenue and profitability remain difficult to predict in the industries
we serve and under current economic and political conditions.

March 30, 2005, we were not named or involved in any litigation.
On June
27, 2004, we settled the patent infringement legal suit of Milam Tool Company
and the Estate of Jack J. Milam vs. Flotek Industries, Inc., Turbeco, Inc. and
Jerry Dumas, individually, C.A. No. H-02-1647, in the United States District
Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. We voluntarily elected to
settle the litigation with Milam Tool Company for $75,000. The settlement
agreement was finalized without any ruling against us. Mediation of the matter
resulted in joint agreements to dismiss the suit without any admission of patent
infringement by our Turbeco subsidiary.

was $8.70. As of March 30, 2005, there were 6,803,846 common shares outstanding
held by approximately 146 holders of record and an estimated 11 beneficial

Dividend
Policy
We have
not historically paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain
future earnings to meet our working capital requirements and to finance the
future operations of our business. Therefore, we do not plan to declare or pay
cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. In
addition, some of our credit agreements contain provisions that limit our
ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
Recent
Issuance of Unregistered Securities
In January,
2004, we issued 133,334 shares of our common stock in a private offering to
“accredited investors” in exchange for $100,000 of cash subscription proceeds,
which was paid by the tender to us. During 2004, a total of 15,000 stock options
were exercised by directors, officers and employees.
On April
3, 2003, a stock grant of 125,000 shares was awarded to Mr. Jerry D. Dumas, Sr.,
our Chairman and CEO, which resulted in $75,000 of compensation expense.
Also,
during 2003, we issued 875,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering
to “accredited investors” in exchange for $525,000 of cash subscription
proceeds, which was paid by tender to us. We
received $150,000 of the total $525,000 from two of our directors, one of which
is a principal stockholder.
The
foregoing issuances of common stock were made in reliance upon the exemption
from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for
transactions not involving a public offering. No underwriters were engaged in
connection with the foregoing sales of securities. The sales were made without
general solicitation or advertising. Each purchaser was an "accredited investor"
or a sophisticated investor with access to all relevant information necessary to
evaluate the investment, who represented to us that sales were being acquired
for investment.

exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. We compete in the
specialty chemical, bulk handling and logistics, downhole drilling tool and
downhole production tool oilfield products and services.
We were
incorporated in 1985 and currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board market. Our
headquarters are in Houston, Texas, and we have manufacturing operations in
Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. We market our products domestically and
internationally in over 20 countries.
Our
product lines are divided into three segments within the oilfield service
industry:
· |
The
Chemicals and Logistics segment which is made up of two business units:
|
o |
The
CESI Chemical business unit develops, manufactures, packages and sells
chemicals used by oilfield service companies in oil and gas well
cementing, stimulation, drilling and production. Our applied research
laboratories support the specific drilling and production needs of our
customers. |
o |
The
Materials Translogistics business unit designs and manages automated bulk
material handling, loading facilities, and blending capabilities for
oilfield service companies. |
· |
The
Drilling Products segment manufactures and markets our Turbeco line of
casing centralizers, Turbo-Flo mud shaker screens and external casing
packers for coal bed methane drilling. |
· |
The
Production Products segment manufactures and markets our Petrovalve
line of downhole pump components. |
The
customers for our products and services include the major integrated oil and
natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies and state-owned
national oil companies. Our ability to compete in the oilfield services market
is dependent on our ability to differentiate our products and services, provide
superior quality and service, and maintain a competitive cost structure.
Activity levels in our three segments are driven primarily by current and
expected commodity prices, drilling rig count, oil and gas production levels,
and customer capital spending allocated for drilling and production.
We
continue to actively seek profitable acquisition or merger candidates in our
core business to either decrease costs of providing products or add new products
and customer base to diversify our market.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
require us to make estimates and assumptions during their preparation which
requires judgment. Our critical accounting policies and procedures include but
are not limited to the following:
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted
Cash
As of
December 31, 2004 we had $37,038 of restricted cash which serves as collateral
for a standby letter of credit that provides financial assurance that we will
fulfill our obligations related to an international contract to design and
project manage the construction of a bulk handling facility in
Mexico.
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials, finished goods and parts and materials used in
manufacturing and construction operations. Finished goods inventories include
raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. Inventories are carried at
the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method. The Company
maintains a reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventories, which is reviewed
for adequacy on a periodic basis.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of ordinary maintenance and
repairs is charged to operations, while replacements and major improvements are
capitalized. Depreciation or amortization is provided at rates considered
sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings
and leasehold improvements |
3-24
years |
Machinery
and equipment |
2-3
years |
Furniture
and fixtures |
3-7
years |
Transportation
equipment |
3
years |
Computer
equipment |
3-5
years |
We review
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds either the fair value or the estimated discounted cash flows of the
assets, whichever is more readily measurable. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate price paid by us in acquisitions over the
fair market value of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets
acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” separable intangible
assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will be amortized over their
useful lives.
Financial
Instruments
We
consider the fair value of all financial instruments (primarily long-term debt)
not to be materially different from their carrying values at the end of each
fiscal year based on management's estimate of our ability to borrow funds under
terms and conditions similar to those of our existing debt and because the
majority of our debt carries a floating rate.
We have
no off-balance sheet debt or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements. We
have not entered into derivative or other financial instruments.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
for product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria have been
met: (i) evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) products are shipped or services
rendered to the customer and all significant risks and rewards of ownership have
passed to the customer, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and
determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. Accounts receivable
are recorded at that time net of any discounts. Earnings are charged with a
provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of
the accounts receivable. Accounts receivable deemed ultimately uncollectible are
applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Deposits and other funds
received in advance of delivery are deferred until the transfer of ownership is
complete. Our Material Translogistics business unit ("MTI') recognizes revenues
of its design and construction oversight contracts under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of
costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs of completion. This
percentage is applied to the total estimated revenue at completion to calculate
revenues earned to date. Contract costs include all direct labor and material
costs and those indirect costs related to manufacturing and construction
operations. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Changes in job performance and estimated profitability, including those arising
from contract bonus or penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may
result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in
which such revisions appear probable. All known or anticipated losses on
contracts are recognized in full when such amounts become apparent. MTI bulk
material transload revenue is recognized as services are performed for the
customer.
Foreign
Currency
We have
sales that are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.
Any foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in our results of
operations. We have not entered into any forward foreign exchange contract to
hedge the potential impact of currency fluctuations on our foreign currency
denominated sales.
Research
and Development Costs
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are
charged to expense as incurred.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are computed under the liability method. We provide deferred income tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective
tax basis of assets and liabilities. These deferred assets and liabilities are
based on enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to
be realized.
Earnings
Per Share
Earnings
per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Dilutive income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and dilutive effect of stock options.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
recognize compensation expense associated with stock-based awards under the
recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations.
The difference between the quoted market price as of the date of the grant and
the contractual purchase price of shares is charged to operations over the
vesting period. No compensation expense has been recognized for stock options
with fixed exercise prices equal to the market price of the stock on the dates
of grant. We provide supplemental disclosure on the effect or net income (loss)
and earnings (loss) per share as if the provisions of Statement of Financial
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended
by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure” had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under SFAS 123R,
we will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for stock based on the grant date at fair value (with limited
exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (usually the
vesting period). The fair value will be estimated using an option-pricing model.
Excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS 123R, will be recognized as an addition
to additional paid-in capital. The Standard is effective as of the beginning of
the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We
are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on our
financial statements, including different option-pricing models.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. FIN 46
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to
certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R which
revised certain provisions in the original interpretation and permitted multiple
effective dates based upon the nature and formation date of the variable
interest entity. Adoption of the provisions of FIN 46R did not have any impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as all of our
subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
In
December 2004, the FASB published the following two final FASB Staff Positions,
effective immediately. FAS 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No.109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production
Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004," giving guidance
on applying FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the tax
deduction on qualified production activities provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. FAS 109-2 "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for that
Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of
__ 2004" provides guidance on the Act's repatriation provision. We are in the
process of reviewing the FAS 109-1 and FAS 109-2; however, at this time, we do
not believe that the adoption of FAS 109-1 or FAS 109-2 will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
November 2004, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus
in applying the conditions in Paragraph 42 of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report
Discontinued Operations" (EITF 03-13). Evaluation of whether operations and cash
flows have been eliminated depends on whether (1) continuing operations and cash
flows are expected to be generated, and (2) the cash flows, based on their
nature and significance, are considered direct or indirect. This consensus
should be applied to a component that is either disposed of or classified as
held for sale in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. We do not
believe that the adoption of EITF 03-13 will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs—An Amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as
idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs
be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by
us in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, beginning on January 1, 2006. We are
currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but do
not expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact.

Total
revenues increased by $7,036,858 or 47.4% in 2004 from 2003. As discussed in the
segment analysis that follows, this significant increase in revenues was due to
strong performance by our Chemicals and Logistics segment, particularly with our
line of proprietary chemicals. Currently, international sales make up
approximately 15% of total revenues. We have expanded our international
geographic footprint and customer base as evidenced by penetration into new
markets this year in Russia, Mexico and the Middle East. We will continue to
focus on growing international revenues.
Gross
margin increased 67.6%, from $5,580,340 in 2003 to $9,351,658 in 2004. More
importantly, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased from 37.6% in
2003 to 42.7% in 2004. Improved margins in the Chemical and Logistics segment
were primarily responsible for the improvement in margins. The gross margin is
best analyzed on a segment by segment basis, discussed below, as gross margin
varies significantly between operating segments and can vary significantly from
year to year in certain operating segments.
Selling,
general and administrative are costs not directly attributable to products sold
or services rendered. Selling, general and administrative costs increased to
$5,349,594 in 2004 from $4,788,749 in 2003, however decreased as a percentage of
revenue. Measured as a percentage of revenue, selling, general and
administrative dropped from 32.3% in 2003 to 24.4% in 2004. Significant emphasis
continues to be placed on growing sales while containing selling, general and
administrative costs across the organization.
Interest
expense increased slightly from $618,438 in 2003 to $691,568 in 2004. The
increase was caused by higher interest rates, which were offset by lower overall
debt levels. The majority of our indebtedness carries a variable interest rate
tied to the prime rate, adjusted on a quarterly basis.
Research
and development costs increased due to expansion of our applied research
facilities including increased personnel costs. The higher personnel costs are
due to increased staffing in our applied research laboratories, reflecting our
strategy to continue to develop proprietary specialty chemicals. Over the years,
we have made a number of technological advances, including the development of an
environmentally benign line of specialty chemicals. Substantially all of the new
technologies have resulted from requests and guidance from our clients,
particularly major oil companies. Research and development expenditures are
charged to expense as incurred. We intend to continue committing financial
resources and effort to the development and acquisition of new products and
services.
Based on our improved profitability a $213,096 provision for
income taxes was recorded in 2004. The provision was made for estimated state
income tax and alternative minimum tax, which can not be offset by our net
operating loss carryforwards. The result of these taxes reduced earnings per
share by $0.03. The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory rate
primarily as a result of utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards.
As of
December 31, 2003, we had various net deferred tax assets made up primarily of
the expected future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation
allowance was provided in full against these net deferred tax assets based upon
the Company’s historical losses. During 2004, we reduced the valuation allowance
related to the remaining net tax assets by $856,520. The reduction reflects our
ability to utilize this amount of net deferred tax assets based on 2004
operating results. The benefit from this reduction was recorded as a decrease in
current income tax provision. As of December 31, 2004, we had estimated net
operating loss carryforwards which may be available to offset future taxable
income of approximately $8.8 million, expiring in 2017 through
2023.

Chemicals
and Logistics revenues increased $6,063,530 or 50.9%, in 2004 compared to 2003.
The increase in sales is attributable to continued increase in drilling activity
and expanded market penetration in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Russia. The most
significant revenue growth relates to our environmental friendly “green”
chemicals in the U.S., which have more than tripled from $1,103,680 in 2003 to
$3,952,986 in 2004. CESI Chemical's focus on applied research has resulted in
the penetration of new markets, continual expansion of our customer base,
product portfolio and increased margins. Recently our applied research resulted
in the development and subsequent sale of products to the drilling fluids
industry, a new sales segment for the us. CESI Chemical differentiates itself
through the strength of its innovative and proprietary products, the depth of
the laboratory staff, dedication to product quality, and superior customer
service.
The gross
margin increased from $4,131,606 in 2003 to $7,466,881 in 2004. Not only did
gross margin increase, but gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased
from 34.7% in 2003 to 41.5% in 2004. The increase in margin is attributable to
increased sales of our novel and proprietary chemicals that command higher
margins. Increased volume at our logistics facility in Raceland, Louisiana also
contributed to our improved margins in 2004.
Operating
income increased $2,908,961, or 160%, in 2004 compared to 2003, primarily as a
result of increased sales in the Chemical division and improved gross margins in
the Chemical and Logistics business unit. Expansion of our proprietary product
line and customer base has driven the increase in sales and margin during 2004.

Products revenues increased $615,146 or 22.8% in 2004 over 2003. The increase in
sales was driven by product line and geographic expansion. Gross margin also
increased from $1,419,520 to $1,592,923 but decreased year over year as a
percentage of revenue. The decrease in gross margin percentage from 50.7% in
2003 to 48.0% in 2004 was primarily due to a shift in product sales mix.
The
decision to expand this segment during 2004, both in products and geographic
footprint, resulted in several one-time start-up costs. Prior to 2004 the
geographic coverage primarily included the Gulf Coast of Texas and
Louisiana. We actively expanded our sales efforts into West Texas,
North Texas and internationally, and incurred increased sales and marketing
costs as a result. Historically the segment had variations of a single product.
The drilling products group introduced an integral bow spring and other bow
spring tools. These tools are outsourced for manufacturing, resulting in reduced
margins. Introductory pricing was lower for these new products, but has improved
based on product performance.
In
February 2005, we completed the purchase of Spidle, a privately held downhole
tool company with rental, sales and manufacturing operations throughout the
Rocky Mountains, by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Spidle for
a total purchase price of $8.1 million. Spidle’s results of operations are not
included in the consolidated financial statements for any of the periods
presented. Spidle will be merged with Turbeco into our Drilling Products
segment. Spidle serves both the domestic and international downhole tool markets
with a customer base extending into Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia
and Africa. Spidle operates in the energy, mining, water well and industrial
drilling sectors. As a result of the acquisition, we are expected to (i)
expand our product, customer and geographic base in the downhole drilling
tools market and (ii) provide operational synergies with our other business
units.

Products revenue increased $358,182 in 2004 compared to 2003 as a result of the
new management team expanding its customer base. Additionally, sales to
Venezuela resumed marginally in 2004. Gross margin percentage also increased
significantly from 13.0% in 2003 to 49.9% in 2004. We are focused on
increasing total revenues in 2005 by expanding the customer and geographic base.
Petrovalve is actively marketed in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America,
South America, Middle East, Russia and Asia. Currently Petrovalve has
representation in 18 countries.
Data
provided by Petrovalve customers subsequent to valve installation indicate an
increase in productions as much as 40% over prior performance of conventional
valves. This improvement stems from the patented and unique design of the
Petrovalve that allows greater volumes of hydrocarbons to be lifted per pump
stroke. This enables the operator the option of slowing the pump stroke rate
while maintaining consistent production levels, which reduces wear on all parts
of the lifting mechanism, extending the life of the entire system. The “Gas
Breaker” version of the Petrovalve, has been proven to be successful in
eliminating “gas locking” which prior to the Gas Breaker installation completely
stopped production and required workover of the well. The Petrovalve can
effectively lift highly viscous oil in heavy oil or tar sand production
zones.
In 2003,
we fully impaired $5,120,633 of goodwill for Petrovalve based on lower than
expected sales in 2003 and political instability in Venezuela.
Capital
Resources and Liquidity
Our
capital resources and liquidity significantly improved during 2004. In 2004, we
produced net income of $2,153,689 and had positive cash flows from operations of
$1,398,847. This turnaround from 2003 is a result of significant improvements in
operating results for our reporting units due to increased sales and operational
efficiencies. The positive cash flows from operations is a result of higher net
income offset by increased net working capital requirements to grow operations
in 2004.
We
reported $284,801 of cash and cash equivalents and $37,038 of restricted cash as
of December 31, 2004. This significant increase compared to prior years is a
result of improved operational performance results and strict cash flows
management.
Both
accounts receivable and inventories increased due to increased sales levels
during the year. Accounts payable decreased $320,228 primarily due to an
aggressive effort to pay down long outstanding payables associated with
professional fees and payables associated with the discontinued operations. The
reduction in accounts payable was offset by an increase in accrued liabilities
of $994,756. The increase in accrued liabilities was due to increased income
taxes payable, incentive compensation payable, and amounts accrued, but not yet
paid, related to the earn-out provision of our 2000 acquisition. Current assets
increased $2,184,863 during 2004, while current liabilities decreased $3,382,301
over the same period, strengthening our balance sheet. In February 2005, we
obtained a new senior credit facility from Wells Fargo Bank. Based on the terms
negotiated a portion of our debt has been reclassified to long-term based on the
new maturities.
Capital
expenditures in 2004 totaled $113,108 and were used for furniture and fixture
purchases and expansion of laboratory facilities and the purchase of a new
vehicle. Capital expenditures were below budgeted levels due to capital
constraints. Capital expenditures for 2003 totaled $575,260. These expenditures
were primarily for improvements at the Materials Translogistics facility in
Raceland, Louisiana, and the purchase of a new financial software package and
related hardware. In February 2005, we successfully obtained a new senior credit
facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. As part of the terms negotiated, we
obtained approval for a capital expenditures budget of $2,000,000 for 2005
allowing us to expand our operations.
In
January, 2004, we issued 133,334 shares of our common stock in a private
offering to “accredited investors” in exchange for $100,000 subscription
proceeds, which was paid by the tender to us. In addition, 15,000 stock options
were exercised with proceeds of $9,100.
We made
debt service payments of $1,137,837 and repayments to related parties of
$114,750 during 2004. We also actively renegotiated the terms of our debt
agreements during 2004. The new credit facility obtained in February 2005 has
significantly better terms and greater capacity, reducing our weighted average
cost of capital by more than 300 basis points.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Flotek
Industries Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Flotek Industries, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the
year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Flotek
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We have
audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of Flotek Industries Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related Consolidated
Statements of Operations, Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the
year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Flotek
Industries Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 have been
prepared assuming that Flotek Industries Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as
a going concern. The Company had incurred accumulated operating losses and had a
working capital deficit from operations as of December 31, 2003. These
conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern as of December 31, 2003. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 - Business and Basis of Presentation
Flotek
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries was originally incorporated under the laws of
the Province of British Columbia on May 17, 1985. On October 23, 2001, we
changed our corporate domicile to Delaware. We are a provider of oilfield
service products including specialty chemicals, bulk material logistics,
downhole drilling products and downhole production products.
The
consolidated financial statements consist of Flotek Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and certain 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. While management believes current estimate are
reasonable and appropriate, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Certain
amounts for 2003 have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2003, cash overdraft of $518,547
was included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet.
Restricted
Cash
As of
December 31, 2004 we had $37,038 of restricted cash which serves as collateral
for a standby letter of credit that provides financial assurance that we will
fulfill our obligations related to an international contract to design and
project manage the construction of a bulk handling facility in
Mexico.
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials, finished goods and parts and materials used in
manufacturing and construction operations. Finished goods inventories include
raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. Inventories are carried at
the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method. The Company
maintains a reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventories, which is reviewed
for adequacy on a periodic basis.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of ordinary maintenance and
repairs is charged to operations, while replacements and major improvements are
capitalized. Depreciation or amortization is provided at rates considered
sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:

We review
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds either the fair value or the estimated discounted cash flows of the
assets, whichever is more readily measurable. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate price paid by us in acquisitions over the
fair market value of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets
acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” separable intangible
assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will be amortized over their
useful lives.
Financial
Instruments
We
consider the fair value of all financial instruments (primarily long-term debt)
not to be materially different from their carrying values at the end of each
fiscal year based on management's estimate of our ability to borrow funds under
terms and conditions similar to those of our existing debt and because the
majority of our debt carries a floating rate.
We have
no off-balance sheet debt or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements. We
have not entered into derivative or other financial instruments.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
for product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria have been
met: (i) evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) products are shipped or services
rendered to the customer and all significant risks and rewards of ownership have
passed to the customer, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed and
determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. Accounts receivable
are recorded at that time net of any discounts. Earnings are charged with a
provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of
the accounts receivable. Accounts receivable deemed ultimately uncollectible are
applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Deposits and other funds
received in advance of delivery are deferred until the transfer of ownership is
complete. Our Material Translogistics business unit ("MTI") recognizes revenues
of its design and construction oversight contracts under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of
costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs of completion. This
percentage is applied to the total estimated revenue at completion to calculate
revenues earned to date. Contract costs include all direct labor and material
costs and those indirect costs related to manufacturing and construction
operations. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Changes in job performance and estimated profitability, including those arising
from contract bonus or penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may
result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in
which such revisions appear probable. All known or anticipated losses on
contracts are recognized in full when such amounts become apparent. MTI bulk
material transload revenue is recognized as services are performed for the
customer.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Foreign
Currency
We have
sales that are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.
Any foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in our results of
operations. We have not entered into any forward foreign exchange contract to
hedge the potential impact of currency fluctuations on our foreign currency
denominated sales.
Research
and Development Costs
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are
charged to expense as incurred.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are computed under the liability method. We provide deferred income tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective
tax basis of assets and liabilities. These deferred assets and liabilities are
based on enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to
be realized.
Earnings
Per Share
Earnings
per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Dilutive income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and dilutive effect of stock options. Outstanding options and
warrants of 713,873 for the year ended December 31, 2003 were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share, since to do so would have been
antidilutive.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
recognize compensation expense associated with stock-based awards under the
recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related
interpretations. The difference between the quoted market price as of the date
of the grant and the contractual purchase price of shares is charged to
operations over the vesting period. No compensation expense has been recognized
for stock options with fixed exercise prices equal to the market price of the
stock on the dates of grant. We provide supplemental disclosure of the effect or
net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No.
148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” had
been applied in measuring compensation expense.
We have
elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for our employee stock
options. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized in our financial
statements because the exercise price of our employee stock options equals the
market price of our common stock on the date of grant. If under SFAS No.
123 we determined compensation costs based on the fair value at the grant
date for its stock options, net income and earnings (loss) per share would
have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

The
weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during 2004 and
2003 was $2.22 and $0.39 per share, respectively. These amounts were determined
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which values options based on the
stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated
volatility of the stock, the expected dividend payments, and the risk-free
interest rate over the expected life of the option. The assumptions used in the
Black-Scholes model were as follows for stock options granted in 2004 and
2003:

The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for estimating the fair value
of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.
Because option valuation models require the use of subjective assumptions,
changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the
options, and our options do not have the characteristics of traded options, the
option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the
fair value of its options.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
123R “Share-Based
Payment”. This is
a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
supersedes APB No. 25. As noted
in our stock-based compensation accounting policy described above, we do not
record compensation expense for stock-based compensation. Under SFAS 123R, we
will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for stock based on the grant date at fair value (with limited exceptions). That
cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide services in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The
fair value will be estimated using an option-pricing model. Excess tax benefits,
as defined in SFAS 123R, will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in
capital. The Standard is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or
annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We are currently in the
process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on our financial statements,
including different option-pricing models.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. FIN 46
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
Consolidated Financial Statements, to
certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R which
revised certain provisions in the original interpretation and permitted multiple
effective dates based upon the nature and formation date of the variable
interest entity. Adoption of the provisions of FIN 46R did not have any impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as all of our
subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
In
December 2004, the FASB published the following two final FASB Staff Positions,
effective immediately. SFAS 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No.109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production
Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004," giving guidance
on applying FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the tax
deduction on qualified production activities provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. FAS 109-2 "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for that
Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004" provides guidance on the Act's repatriation provision. We are in the
process of reviewing the FAS 109-1 and FAS 109-2; however, at this time, we do
not believe that the adoption of FAS 109-1 or FAS 109-2 will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
November 2004, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus
in applying the conditions in Paragraph 42 of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report
Discontinued Operations" (EITF 03-13). Evaluation of whether operations and cash
flows have been eliminated depends on whether (i) continuing operations and cash
flows are expected to be generated, and (ii) the cash flows, based on their
nature and significance, are considered direct or indirect. This consensus
should be applied to a component that is either disposed of or classified as
held for sale in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. We do not
believe that the adoption of EITF 03-13 will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs—An Amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter
4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among
other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility
expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized
as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so
abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by us in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006, beginning on January 1, 2006. We are currently
evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but do not
expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact.

3 - Discontinued Operations
During
the third quarter of 2003, Our Equipment Specialties (“ESI”) reporting unit,
which designed, manufactured and rebuilt specialized cementing and stimulation
equipment, was discontinued and the assets were sold to Special Equipment
Manufacturing, Inc. (“SEM”), an unrelated party for $60,000 in cash. In
connection therewith we assigned ESI’s facility lease with Oklahoma Facilities,
LLC (“Facilities”) to SEM, thus eliminating our future liability lease
obligation. To effect this assignment, we agreed to pay Facilities an additional
$91,000 of rent for the 17 month rental period beginning March 1, 2002 and
ending July 31, 2003 in six equal installments beginning November 15, 2003.
The
Equipment Specialties Division is accounted for as a discontinued operation and
therefore, the results of its operations and its cash flows have been removed
from our results of continuing operations for all periods presented in
connection with the discontinuance of ESI, we recognized a net loss from
discontinued operations of $545,592 and net loss of disposal of discontinued
operations of $1,157,835.
Note
4 - Accounts Receivable
Prior to
December 31, 2003, we had approximately $1,227,000 of accounts receivable from a
customer in Venezuela, all of which arose from goods shipped in the first half
of 2002. The ultimate customer for these goods was Petroleos de Venezuela S.A.
(“PDVSA”), the national oil company of Venezuela. PDVSA delayed acceptance of
the majority of the goods shipped due to the political unrest and oil and gas
industry work curtailment in Venezuela and had not taken delivery of the
products from our customer as of December 31, 2003. We reversed the $1,227,000
of accounts receivable and the associated reserve for doubtful accounts for
$878,000 as of December 31, 2003 that had been recorded during 2002. Ownership
of the inventory was transferred back to us and recorded at its original cost
basis of $350,000 in finished goods.

our Chemicals business. The higher sales volumes have resulted in volume
purchases of raw materials to take advantage of pricing discounts. Included in
finished goods inventories as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 is approximately
$320,000 and $350,000, respectfully, in carrying value of Petrovalve downhole
pump valves which were previously sold to PDVSA in the first quarter of 2002.

7 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In
February 2002, we acquired IBS 2000, Inc., a Denver based company engaged in the
development and manufacture of environmentally neutral chemicals for the oil
industry. The terms of the acquisition called for an "Earn-Out Payment" based on
twenty-five percent of the division’s earnings before interest and taxes for the
three one-year periods ending on March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. During 2004, the
Company recorded additional goodwill of $320,012 associated with earn-out for
the period March 31, 2003 through December 31, 2004, to reflect additional
acquisition consideration related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2004,
$100,804 had been paid. The remainder will be paid and is reflected as accrued
liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
We
evaluate the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year
and on an interim basis, if events occur or circumstances change that would more
likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying
amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (i) a
significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (ii)
unanticipated competition, or (iii) an adverse action or assessment by a
regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares
the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the
reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the
reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted
cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable
companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment
loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit
goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of
reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to
all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values.
The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its
other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An
impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds
its implied fair value. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during
2004 resulted in no impairment losses.
We
conducted a goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of 2003 for
the Petrovalve reporting unit within the Downhole Production Products segment.
There was approximately $5.1 million of goodwill attributable to this segment,
all relating to the Petrovalve reporting unit. Our evaluation concluded the
entire $5.1 million of goodwill was impaired. Consequently, we recognized a
goodwill impairment of $5,120,633 in 2003.

We
had a revolving line of credit with a bank for the lesser of (a)
$2,553,968, or (b) the sum of 60% of eligible domestic trade accounts
receivable and 60% of eligible inventory, as defined. The line of credit
expires in September 2005, unless extended. Borrowings under the line of
credit bear interest (9.50% at December 31, 2004), the prime rate plus
4.25%. All borrowings are collateralized by substantially all our assets.
The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $2,439,483 and
$2,250,948 at December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Borrowings under
the line are subject to certain financial covenants and a material adverse

of credit. The Loan Agreement provides for borrowings through February 14, 2007.
Borrowings will bear interest at prime rate plus 50 basis points. The Loan
Agreement pays interest only and matures in February 2007. Based on the new
maturity date, amounts reclassed to long term debt. See Note 9 - Long Term Debt
and Note 15 - Subsequent Events.

December 31, 2004 a forbearance agreement was signed to defer $150,000 of
the $200,000 payment due on December 31, 2004, with no interest penalty.
The remaining payments set forth in the original promissory note were

All bank
borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. Bank
borrowings are subject to certain financial covenants and a material adverse
change subjective acceleration clause. As of December 31, 2004, we were in
compliance with all covenants. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we had
not received any notices of default or acceleration from any of its lenders.
We
believe the fair value of its long-term debt approximates the recorded value at
December 31, 2004 as the majority of the long-term debt carries a floating
interest rate based on prime.
On
February 14, 2005, we entered into an Equipment Term Loan Agreement (the
Equipment Term Loan) and a Real Estate Term Loan Agreement (the Real Estate Term
Loan) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Equipment Term Loan provides for
borrowings of $7,000,000 bearing interest at prime rate plus 50 basis points
payable over 60 months. The Real Estate Term Loan provides for borrowings up to
$3,000,000 bearing interest at prime rate. The loan is payable over 60 months,
and amortized over 180 months. See Note 16 - Subsequent Events.

10 - Common Stock, Stock Options and Warrants
We have a
Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which our officers, key employees,
and non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase shares of our
authorized but unissued common stock. As of December 31, 2004, there were no
shares available for future grants under the Plan. Under the Plan, the option
exercise price is equal to the fair market value of our common stock at the date
of grant. Options currently expire no later than 10 years from the grant date
and generally vest within four years or less. Proceeds received by us from
exercises of stock options are credited to common stock and additional paid-in
capital.
Prior to
the merger with CESI in 2001, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 56,030
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.79, expiring in September
2006. These warrants were assumed by Flotek after the merger. The warrants were
issued to one of our directors and three investors.
In January,
2004, we issued 133,334 shares of our common stock in a private offering to
“accredited investors” in exchange for $100,000 of subscription proceeds, which
was paid by the tender to us. During 2004, a total of 15,000 stock options were
exercised by directors, officers and employees.
During
2003, we issued 578,500 stock options with a market value of $347,100 at the
date of grant. On April 3, 2003, a stock grant of 125,000 shares was awarded to
Mr. Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., our Chairman and CEO, which resulted in $75,000 of
compensation expense. Also,
during 2003, we issued 875,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering
to “accredited investors” in exchange for $525,000 of subscription proceeds,
which was paid by the tender to us. We
received $150,000 of the total $525,000 from two of our directors, one of which
is a principal stockholder.

In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
123 “Share-Based
Payment”. This is
a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
supersedes APB No. 25. As noted
in our stock-based compensation accounting policy, we do not record compensation
expense for stock-based compensation. Under SFAS 123R, we will be required to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock based on
the grant date at fair value (with limited exceptions). That cost will be
recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide
services in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The fair value
will be estimated using an option-pricing model. Excess tax benefits, as defined
in SFAS 123R, will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in capital.
The Standard is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We are currently in the
process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on our financial statements,
including different option-pricing models.

Our
effective income tax rate in 2004 differs from the federal statutory rate
primarily due to state income taxes and changes in valuation allowances due to
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts reported for income tax purposes at the enacted tax rates in effect
when the differences reverse. The components of our deferred tax asset and

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A
valuation allowance was provided in full against our net deferred tax assets due
to our uncertainty surrounding the realization of our deferred tax assets in
future years. Certain Internal Revenue Code provisions may limit the use of our
net operating loss carryforwards. We are currently assessing limitations on our
net operating loss carryforwards, if any, on future periods. As of December 31,
2004, we had estimated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.8
million, expiring in various amounts in 2017 through 2023.
Our current corporate organizational structure
requires us to file two separate consolidated U.S. Federal income tax returns.
As a result, taxable income of one group can not be offset by tax attributes,
including net operating losses, of the other groups. Accordingly, the effective
tax rate in future periods may differ significantly from the _______ __________
rates depending on the level of taxable income of loss for each
group.

12 - Related Party Transactions
On
January 30, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Stimulation Chemicals, LLC
(“SCL”) to procure raw materials as ordered by CESI granting CESI 120 day
payment terms for a 15% percent markup. SCL is owned jointly by Dr. Penny and
Mr. Beall, whom are both directors as well as principal shareholders of Flotek.
Dr. Penny is also one of our employees. On August 27, 2003 a new agreement
was executed for repayment of the outstanding balance of $359,993 beginning
September 15, 2003 with monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of
$38,600, plus interest of 1% per month on the unpaid balance until paid in full.
As of December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance owed to SCL was $347,333. On
February 14, 2005, SCL was required to fully subordinate their debt position and
defer principal payments for six months in connection with the new senior credit
facility. To compensate for the subordination the interest rate on the note was
raised to 21%. We plan to pay off the note during the second quarter 2005.
On
February 11, 2003, Mr. Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., our Chairman and CEO, made us a
short-term loan for $135,000 to cover operating cash flow requirements. This
note bears interest at 10% annually. As of December 31, 2004, this note had an
unpaid balance of $15,000. Additional demand notes from Mr. Dumas total
$104,068, bearing interest at 10% per annum.
On July
25, 2002, we borrowed $500,000 under a promissory note from Facilities. One of
our officers, who is also a director and principal stockholder, has a minority
investment interest in and is an officer of Facilities. The majority of the note
is secured by specific Petrovalve inventory. The note was amended on October 1,
2004 bearing interest at the prime rate plus 7.25%, payable in 36 monthly
installments beginning January 1, 2005. On February 14, 2005, Facilities was
required to fully subordinate their outstanding debt position of $454,689 in
connection with the new senior credit facility.
We
purchased from Phoenix E&P Technology, LLC, the manufacturing assets,
inventory and intellectual property rights to produce oilfield shale shaker
screens on January 28, 2005. See Note 15 - Subsequent Events.

14 - Segment Information
We have
four principal operating segments, which are the design, manufacturing,
operating service and marketing of (i) specialty chemicals, (ii) downhole
drilling tools, (iii) downhole production tools, and (iv) automated bulk
handling systems. These operating segments were determined based on the nature
of the products and services offered. Operating
segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.
We have
determined that there are three reportable segments:
· |
The
Chemicals and Logistics segment which is made up of two business units.
The CESI Chemical business unit designs, develops, manufactures, packages
and sells chemicals used by oilfield service companies in oil and gas well
drilling, cementing, stimulation and production. The Materials
Translogistics business unit manages automated bulk material handling,
loading facilities, and blending capabilities for oilfield service
companies. |
· |
The
Drilling Products segment manufactures and markets the Turbeco line of
casing centralizers, Turbo-Flo mud shaker screens and external casing
packers for coal bed methane drilling. |
· |
The
Production Products segment manufactures and markets the Petrovalve line
of downhole pump components. |
We
evaluate performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial
measure is business segment income before taxes. The accounting policies of the
business segments are the same as those described in “Note 2: Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.” Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair
value as if sales were to third parties and are eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
Summarized
financial information concerning our segments as of December 31, 2004 and 2003
is show in the following tables (in thousands):

Essentially
all of our revenues are derived from the oil and gas industry. This
concentration of customers in one industry increases our credit and business
risk, particularly given the volatility of activity levels in the industry. The
majority of our sales are to major or large independent oilfield service
companies with established credit histories and actual credit losses have been
insignificant. Five customers accounted for 47% of consolidated revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2004. These same five customers were also in the
Chemicals and Logistics segment of our business and they collectively accounted
for 57% of the revenues in this segment.

15 - Subsequent Events
We
purchased from Phoenix E&P Technology, LLC, the manufacturing assets,
inventory and intellectual property rights to produce oilfield shale shaker
screens on January 28, 2005. The assets were purchased for $46,640 with a three
year royalty interest on all shale shaker screens produced. Phoenix is 75% owned
by Chisholm Energy Partners (“CEP”). Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of Flotek Industries, Inc. and Dr. Glen Penny each have a
two and one-half percent indirect ownership interest in CEP and John Chisholm,
Director of Flotek Industries, Inc. has a thirty percent ownership interest in
CEP.
On
February 14, 2005, we entered into a $13 million credit agreement with Wells
Fargo Bank. The following table presents the senior secured credit facilities

The

acquisition of Spidle Sales and Services, Inc., refinance some of our existing
indebtedness, pay for fees and expenses incurred in connection with the senior
credit facilities and provide future working capital for our operations.
See
Note 8 - Notes Payable and Note 9 - Long Term Debt.
In
February 2005, we completed the purchase of Spidle Sales and Services, Inc.
(“Spidle”), a privately held downhole tool company with rental, sales and
manufacturing operations throughout the Rocky Mountains, by acquiring all of the
outstanding capital stock of Spidle for a total purchase price of $8.1 million.
Spidle’s results of operations are not included in the consolidated financial
statements for all periods presented. Spidle will be merged with Turbeco into
Flotek’s Drilling Products segment. Spidle serves both the domestic and
international downhole tool markets with a customer base extending into Canada,
Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Spidle operates in the energy,
mining, water well and industrial drilling sectors. As a result of the
acquisition, we are expected to (1) expand its product, customer and geographic
base in the downhole drilling tools market and (2) provide operational synergies
with Flotek’s other business units.
Item
8. Changes
in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
Our Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors dismissed Weinstein Spira & Company as
its independent and principal accountants effective February 23, 2005, and on
the same day engaged the firm UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP as
our new independent principal auditors.
During
the two most recent fiscal years audited and the subsequent interim periods
preceding its determination to change independent principal accountants, there
were no disagreements with Weinstein Spira & Company on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement or disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Weinstein Spira & Company would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the
financial statements for such years. In addition, there were no disagreements
between ourselves and our successor auditors through the date of this report.
Item
8A. Controls
and Procedures
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Certifying
Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure
controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their
evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the
filing of this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is
accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive
officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
The
Certifying Officers also have indicated that there were no significant changes
in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Previously noted weaknesses
have been corrected.

Board
Committees and Meetings
Our Board

director or committee member.
The
standing committees of the Board include the Compensation Committee consisting

comprised of Barry Stewart, John Chisholm and Richard Wilson. Mr. Stewart is
considered a “financial expert” based on his current and past employment, his
education and his professional certification.
The
Compensation Committee sets compensation policy for all of our Executive
Officers, makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors regarding
executive compensation and employee stock option awards, and administers our
2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee met three times during
the last fiscal year.
The
primary function of the Audit Committee is to provide advice with respect to our
financial matters and to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities regarding audit, finance, accounting, and tax
compliance. In particular, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the
engagement, independence, and services of our independent auditors. The Audit
Committee also serves to: (i) act as an independent and objective party to
monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review
and appraise the audit efforts of the independent auditors; (iii) evaluate our
quarterly financial performance as well as the compliance with laws and
regulations; (iv) oversee management’s establishment and enforcement of
financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of
communication among the independent auditors, financial and senior management,
counsel, and the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee met four times during
the last fiscal year, independently from our full Board. The Board has adopted a
written charter for the Audit Committee.
Our Board
of Directors does not have a standing executive or nominating committee or
committees performing similar functions.
The above
Committees meet as and when required, except for the Audit Committee which meets
at least four times each year. Certain matters that may come before a committee
may be reviewed or acted on by the Board as a whole.

Audit
Committee Report
In
accordance with resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit
Committee (the “Committee”), which consists entirely of directors who meet the
independence and experience requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., assists
the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the
quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting
practices of the Company.
In
discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Committee
obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all
relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the
auditors’ independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No.
1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” The Committee discussed
with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and
independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to
the auditors’ independence. The Committee also discussed with management, the
internal auditors and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the
Company’s internal controls. The Committee reviewed with the independent
auditors their management letter on internal controls.
The
Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters
required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees”.
The
Committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, with management and the
independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of
the Company’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the
responsibility for the examination of those statements.
Based on
the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors and
management, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
