Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2022
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (the “Company”, “SDPI”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is an innovative drilling and completion tool technology company providing cost saving solutions that drive production efficiencies for the oil and natural gas drilling industry. Our drilling solutions include the patented Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool (“Drill-N-Ream tool”) and the patented Strider™ Drill String Oscillation System technology (“Strider technology” or “Strider”). In addition, the Company is a manufacturer and refurbisher of PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) drill bits for a leading oil field services company. We operate a state-of-the-art drill tool fabrication facility, where we manufacture solutions for the drilling industry, as well as customers’ custom products. Our headquarters and manufacturing operations are located in Vernal, Utah.
Our subsidiaries include (a) Superior Drilling Solutions, LLC (previously known as Superior Drilling Products, LLC), a Utah limited liability company (“SDS”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary Superior Design and Fabrication, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“SDF”), (b) Extreme Technologies, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ET”), (c) Meier Properties Series, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“MPS”), (d) Meier Leasing, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ML”), and (e) Hard Rock Solutions, LLC (“HR” or “Hard Rock”).
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Superior Drilling Products Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Unaudited Interim Financial Presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related footnote disclosures included herein, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the results for such periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2022. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the notes thereto, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Segment Reporting
We operate as a single operating segment, which reflects how we manage our business. We operate in North America and the Middle East. See note 9.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The
Company has two significant customers that represented
The Company had two vendors that represented % of its purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These vendors had approximately $ in accounts payable as of March 31, 2022 and purchases in the three months of ended March 31, 2022 from these vendors totaled approximately $. The Company had two vendors that represented % of its purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These vendors had approximately $ in accounts payable as of March 31, 2021 and purchases in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from these vendors totaled approximately $.
Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The
purpose of this restatement is to correct an error in the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the year ended March
31, 2021 in connection with the classification of $
There was no effect of the restatement to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
In accordance with the guidance provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality (“SAB 99”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”), the Company has determined that the impact of adjustments relating to the correction of this accounting error are not material to previously issued annual audited and unaudited interim financial statements.
The effects of the restatement on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are as follows:
| March 31, 2021 | |||||||||
| As Reported | As Restated | ||||||||
| - | Net cash from operating activities | ||||||||
| - | Net cash from investing activities | ( |
) | ||||||
There was no impact to net cash provided from financing activities within our consolidated statement of cash flows nor was there an impact on the net change in cash resulting from restatement.
Uncertain Tax Matters
The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of uncertain tax matters and believes such liabilities represent a reasonable provision for taxes ultimately expected to be paid; however, these liabilities may need to be adjusted as new information becomes known and as tax examinations continue to progress, or as settlements or litigations occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial statements.
Income Tax Expense
The
Company recorded income tax expense during the quarter of $
NOTE 2. REVENUE
Our revenue is derived from short-term contracts. Revenue is recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We also assess our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days.
Revenue generally does not include right of return or other significant post-delivery obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We elected to treat shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost instead of as a separate performance obligation. We recognize the cost for shipping and handling when incurred as an expense in cost of sales.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer infringes the patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream well bore conditioning tool. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division for their work manufacturing the Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer for Stabil Drill. The Dallas lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of the first-filed, Houston suit. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in a brief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021, that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this bankruptcy did not affect Extreme Technologies claims against Stabil Drill. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay, and on May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in late 2022 or early 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis was prepared to supplement information contained in the accompanying financial statements and is intended to provide certain details regarding our financial condition as of March 31, 2022, and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) as well as our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company” or to “we,” “us,” or “our” and other similar terms are to Superior Drilling Products, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.
Forward- Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements contained in all parts of this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of the Company. You can identify the Company’s forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “project,” “believe” and similar expressions, or by the Company’s discussion of strategies or trends. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurances can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, including:
| ● | the continued impact of COVID-19 on domestic and global economic conditions and the future impact of such conditions on the oil and gas industry and the demand for our services; | |
| ● | the volatility of oil and natural gas prices; | |
| ● | the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry; | |
| ● | availability of financing and access to capital markets; | |
| ● | our reliance on significant customers; | |
| ● | consolidation within our customers’ industries; | |
| ● | competitive products and pricing pressures; |
| 15 |
| ● | our ability to develop and commercialize new and/or innovative drilling and completion tool technologies; | |
| ● | fluctuations in our operating results; | |
| ● | our dependence on key personnel; | |
| ● | costs and availability of raw materials; | |
| ● | our dependence on third party suppliers; | |
| ● | unforeseen risks in our manufacturing processes; | |
| ● | the need for skilled workers; | |
| ● | our ability to successfully manage our growth strategy; | |
| ● | unanticipated risks associated with, and our ability to integrate, acquisitions; | |
| ● | current and potential governmental regulatory actions in the United States and regulatory actions and political unrest in other countries, specifically the Middle East region and Eastern Europe; | |
| ● | the potential impact of the coronavirus, variants of the coronavirus or other major health crises on our business and results of operations, including the impact to our supply chain; | |
| ● | terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our intellectual property; | |
| ● | impact of environmental matters, including future environmental regulations; | |
| ● | implementing and complying with safety policies; | |
| ● | breaches of security in our information systems and other cybersecurity risks; | |
| ● | related party transactions with our founders; and | |
| ● | risks associated with our common stock. |
Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us. The events in Ukraine, Russia, and the surrounding areas may result in political instability and may add a potential risk.
| 16 |
In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in our subsequent SEC filings. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
Executive Summary
We innovate, design, engineer, manufacture, sell, and repair drilling and completion tools in the United States, Canada, and the Middle East.
We currently have three basic operations:
| ● | Our emerging technology business that manufactures the Drill-N-Ream tool, our innovative drill string enhancement tool, and Strider technology and other tools, | |
| ● | Our PDC drill bit and other tool refurbishing and manufacturing service, and emerging technologies business that manufactures the Drill-N-Ream tool, our innovative drill string enhancement tool, the Strider technology and other tools, and | |
| ● | Our new product development business that conducts our research and development, and designs our horizontal drill string enhancement tools, other down-hole drilling technologies, and drilling tool manufacturing technologies. |
Our strategy for growth is to expand the global market penetration of our current drilling tool solutions and to leverage our expertise in drilling tool technologies and precision machining in order to broaden our product offerings and solutions for the oil and gas industry, as well as other industries that require precision machining and quality. We believe through our patented technologies, as well as technologies under development, that we can offer the oil and gas industry the solutions it demands to improve drilling efficiencies and reduce production costs.
Recent Developments and Trends
Currently we are experiencing raw material delays and difficulties in hiring and retaining direct laborers. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause disruption to the U.S. and global economies, including the impact of government and company actions to reduce the spread of the virus and consumer behavior in response to the same; and, although the United States and other countries have continued to roll out vaccinations, it is uncertain how quickly and effectively such vaccinations will be distributed or help to control the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. We continue to actively monitor the impacts and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in all aspects of our business. Although we are unable to predict the total impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources at this time, we expect we may be negatively affected if the pandemic and related public health measures result in substantial manufacturing or supply chain problems, disruptions in local and global future economies, volatility in the global financial markets, overall reductions in demand, delays in payment, restrictions on the shipment of our products, or other ramifications. These current conditions are a result of COVID-19.
| 17 |
The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. The global oil industry has been impacted by this situation, but the Company’s operations and business in the Middle East has not been disrupted to date. The increase in oil producing activities in the United States has benefitted the Company’s operations. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.
The total U.S. rig count as reported by Baker Hughes as of April 29, 2022 was 698 rigs, an increase of 112 rigs from the rig count as of December 31, 2021. We expect North American onshore activity to continue to improve throughout 2022 compared with 2021.
The Middle East market is a softer market due to the COVID-19 impact. Although this segment of our business is rebounding, the improvements are at a slower rate compared with the Company’s domestic market.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Revenue. Our revenue increased approximately $1,705,000 or 70%. Tool revenue increased $1,105,000 or 66% from the prior-year period while contract services increased $600,000 or 79%. Revenue increased as the Company had improved capacity to meet growing demand for bit and other toll manufacturing services as well as continued growth in the number of end users and percentage of rigs using our Drill-N-Ream tool. Higher Contract Services revenue also grew with improved capacity to deliver on increased volume for drill bit and other toll refurbishment services. Demand growth reflects customers increasing the use of outsource manufacturing and refurbishment services and increased drilling activity driven by improved market conditions for the oil & gas industry.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Total operating costs and expenses increased approximately $444,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
| ● | Cost of revenue increased approximately $592,000 due to higher volume. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 43% and 48% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in the cost of revenue as a percent of revenue was the result of strong operating leverage from higher volume. | |
| ● | Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $131,000 due in part to an approximate increase in equity compensation expense of $34,000, payroll and tax expenses of $196,000, legal expenses of $9,000, insurance expenses of $9,000 and board compensation of $14,000. Conversely, consulting expenses decreased by approximately $39,000 and tax, audit and related SEC expenses decreased by $92,000. | |
| ● | Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $279,000, or 40%, to $411,000. The decrease was primarily a result of fully amortizing a portion of the Company’s intangible assets and fully depreciating manufacturing center equipment. |
Other Expense. Other expense primarily consists of interest expense and interest income.
| ● | Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $124,000 and $138,000, respectively. |
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by approximately $14,000 from the prior year due to increased foreign income taxes due to increased revenues from foreign sources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $3,094,000. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Our operational and financial strategies include managing our operating costs and capital spending to reflect revenue trends, accelerating collections of international receivables, and controlling our working capital and debt to enhance liquidity. We will continue to work to grow revenue and manage costs and expect to be cash flow positive in 2022. If we are unable to do this, we may not be able to, among other things, (i) maintain our current general and administrative spending levels; (ii) fund certain obligations as they become due; and (iii) respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms.
The Hard Rock Note had a remaining balance of $750,000 as of March 31, 2022, accrues interest at 8.00% per annum and is fully payable with accrued interest on October 5, 2022.
Our Credit Agreement facilitated by Austin Financial Services (“AFS”) is comprised of $800,000 Term Loan and $3,500,000 Line of Credit (“LOC”). As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $250,000 outstanding on the Term Loan and approximately $1,000,000 outstanding on the LOC. Amounts outstanding under the LOC at any time may not exceed the sum of: (a) up to 85% of accounts receivable or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect (less a dilution reserve as determined by AFS in its sole good faith discretion), plus (b) the lesser of (i) up to 50% of inventory or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect, or (ii) the inventory sublimit, minus (c) the borrowing base reserve as may be determined from time to time by AFS. A collateral management fee is payable monthly on the used portion of the LOC and Term Loan. If our borrowings are less than $1,000,000, we still pay interest as if we had borrowed $1,000,000. As of March 31, 2022 we had approximately $10,000 of accrued interest combined between the two loans.
The interest rate for the Term Loan and the LOC is prime plus 2%. As of March 31, 2022 the interest rate for both loans was 9.10%, which includes a 3.6% management fee rate. The obligations of the Company under the agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, other than any assets owned by the Company that constitute real property (and fixtures affixed to such real property), certain excluded equipment, intellectual property, or aircraft. The Credit Agreement matures on February 20, 2023, and the Company plans to refinance this credit facility.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. During the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those discussed below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated condensed financial statements are appropriate, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our consolidated condensed financial statements. Our estimates and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted when necessary. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements include, but are not limited to: stock based compensation, determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives used in calculating depreciation and amortization, and valuation of intangible assets.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal Controls and Procedures
This quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’ s registered public accounting firm due to a transaction period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies. Under these rules, we will not be required to include an attestation report for so for as long as we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer infringes the patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream well bore conditioning tool. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division for their work manufacturing the Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer for Stabil Drill. The Dallas lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of the first-filed, Houston suit. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in a brief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021, that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this bankruptcy did not affect Extreme Technologies, LLC’s claims against Superior’s subsidiary Stabil Drill. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay, and on May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in late 2022 or early 2023.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this filing, the Company remains subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to present this information.
