The presentation of unamortized debt issuance cost has been reclassified from a reduction of long term debt to a non-current asset.  This reclassification was based on Securities and Exchange Commission staff guidance as there was an absence of authoritative guidance with update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements.  Unamortized debt issuance cost at December 31, 2016 was approximately $24,000.



At March 31, 2017, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Prosperity Bank.  This is the Company’s primary source to fund working capital and future capital spending.  Under the credit facility, loans and letters of credit are available to the Company on a revolving basis in an amount outstanding not to exceed the lesser of $40 million or the Company’s borrowing base in effect from time to time. As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s borrowing base was $1.25 million.  The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s producing and non-producing oil and gas properties and the Company’s Manufactured Methane facilities.  The credit facility includes certain covenants with which the Company is required to comply.  At March 31, 2017, these covenants included a current ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio, and an interest coverage ratio.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.



Effective March 16, 2017, the Company’s senior credit facility with Prosperity Bank after Prosperity Bank’s most recent review of the Company’s currently owned producing properties was amended and restated to among other things, decrease the Company’s borrowing base from $3.0 million to approximately $1.25 million, and extend the term of the facility to July 31, 2018.  In addition, all the covenants were removed and replaced with the following: (a) Current Ratio > 1:1; (b) Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio < 3.5x; and (c) Interest Coverage Ratio > 3.0x.  The borrowing base remains subject to the existing periodic redetermination provisions in the credit facility. The interest rate remained prime plus 0.50% per annum.  This rate was 4.50% at the date of the amendment.  The maximum line of credit of the Company under the Prosperity Bank credit facility remained $40 million and the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the facility as of March 31, 2017. 



For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company was in default on compliance with the minimum liquidity ratio.  On March 16, 2017, the Company received a waiver from Prosperity Bank.  Although the Company was in default of the minimum liquidity covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance as a result of the waiver.  In addition, the Company also received a waiver from Prosperity Bank for an anticipated default on the debt to equity covenant.  Had the Company not received this waiver, it would have been in default on the debt to equity covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. 



The proceeds received from the Company’s rights offering which closed on February 2, 2017, were used primarily to pay off the Company’s credit facility.  The Company was able to record the credit facility balance as of December 31, 2016 as a non-current liability since the Company had the ability and the intent to repay this debt using proceeds from the rights offering.
