Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that would be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Representation Agreements

On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into two separate representation agreements with Basin Supply Corporation (“Basin Supply”), a multinational, energy industry-focused supply chain management company, to market certain of the Company’s specialty chemicals and down-hole drilling products and services within various international markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. Both agreements are effective through December 31, 2015 and each provides for a non-refundable retainer of $100,000 which was paid to Basin Supply in 2011 to assist with start-up and overhead costs. Under each agreement, Basin Supply is also eligible to receive warrants to purchase Flotek common stock upon exceeding contractually defined annual base and “stretch” sales targets. The number of warrants that could be issued under the terms of each of the agreements is 100,000 per year during 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas industry. Customers include major integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, pressure pumping service companies and state-owned national oil companies.

Certain raw materials used by Chemicals in the manufacture of the Company’s proprietary complex nanofluids (“CnF”) products are obtainable from limited sources. Certain mud-motor inventory parts in Drilling and stock parts in Artificial Lift are primarily sourced from China.

The Company is subject to significant concentrations of credit risk associated within trade accounts receivable as the Company does not generally require collateral in support of trade receivables. Further, the majority of the Company’s cash is maintained at one major financial institution and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
