Note 3 - Investment in equity method investment

 

In April 2019, the Company and an unrelated entity, Delaware Water Company, LLC (Delaware) formed a limited liability company called Enviro WaterTek LLC (“Enviro”). Enviro is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Delaware, and the Company accounts for its investment in Enviro under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323 as the Company’s investments in Enviro, an unconsolidated entity and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but not control. From inception up to March 31, 2024, Enviro had no operations.

 

In September 2021, the Company and Delaware entered into a separate agreement under Enviro for a specific project (referred to as “Ameredev”). Delaware has certain contracts in place to provide recycled water to operators of certain active oil and gas wells. Under the agreement, the Company contributed $1.2 million that was used by Ameredev to increase the capacity of certain pipelines and water treatment facilities operated by Delaware. Pursuant to the agreement, for each barrel of recycled water that Ameredev sells, Delaware will receive $0.10 per barrel, and the Company will receive $0.05 per barrel (referred to as usage fees), with the balance of net income (loss) from Ameredev being allocated 70% to Delaware and 30% to the Company. The Ameredev agreement will terminate the earlier of three years (unless extended by unanimous agreement of the Board and Members of Ameredev) from the date of the agreement or by unanimous agreement of the Board and Members of Ameredev.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the balance of the equity method investment amounted to $1,000, for both periods presented.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a loss of $14,000 and $43,000 related to the equity method investment.

 

There was no similar transactions during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2024.
