The Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and when temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers, among other available information, uncertainties surrounding the recoverability of deferred tax assets, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and other matters in making this assessment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process requires the Company to estimate its actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense and depreciation. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Company&#8217;s consolidated statements of financial condition. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company&#8217;s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets. If actual results differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future periods, the Company may need to adjust its valuation allowance, which could materially impact the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial position and results of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Tax contingencies can involve complex issues and may require an extended period of time to resolve.

The warrants are accounted for as a liability at their fair value at each reporting period. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, a Dynamic Black Scholes model is utilized which computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, our quoted stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Debt Issuance Costs</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company follows the accounting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU No. 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which delayed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017). We are continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 and we currently do not anticipate that the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements, other than enhanced disclosures related to the disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers, our performance obligations and any significant judgments. To date, certain personnel have attended technical training concerning this new recognition standard, and we have assigned internal resources to assist in this project implementation and believe the project is progressing timely. The Company currently anticipates adopting this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, the Company's preliminary assessments could change.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to  recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee&#8217;s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee&#8217;s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under ASU No. 2016-02, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early application permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases expiring before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is currently reviewing our various leases to identify those affected by ASU No. 2016-02. </font></div><div

Pursuant to the lawsuit, Whole Environmental, Inc. ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Whole</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">"), made certain allegations against E-Source and Motiva. The claims include Breach of Contract and Quantum Meruit actions relating to asbestos abatement and remediation operations performed for defendants at Motiva's facility in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff alleges it is due monies earned. Defendants have denied any amounts due to plaintiff. The suit seeks damages of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$864,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, along with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, the fair value of certain property alleged to be converted by defendants and reimbursement of legal fees. E-Source has asserted a counterclaim against Whole for the filing of a mechanic's lien in excess of any amount(s) actually due, as well as a cross-claim against Motiva. Under the terms of E-Source's contract with Motiva, Motiva was to pay all sums due to any sub-contractors of E-Source. In management's opinion, any monies due to Whole, should be paid by Motiva. E-Source seeks to recover the balance due under its contract with Motiva of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1,000,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The case is set for trial in the spring of 2018. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="sB69F1EB7452C5F6580D5744DE01C8CE1"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">NOTE 4.

The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these June 2015 Warrants, the Company utilized a Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the June 2015 Warrants in the presence of the dilution effect. In the event the convertible preferred shares are redeemed, any redemption price in excess of the carrying amount of the convertible preferred stock would be treated as a dividend.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The warrants related to the June 2015 Series B Preferred Stock and the May 2016 Series B1 Preferred Stock were revalued at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and December 31, 2016 using the Dynamic Black Scholes model that computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares at approximately $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,689,090</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4,365,992</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively.

The beneficial conversion feature (BCF) relates to potential differences between the effective conversion price (measured based on proceeds allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock) and the fair value of the stock into which Preferred B Shares are currently convertible (common stock). If a conversion option embedded in a debt host instrument does not require separate accounting as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, the convertible hybrid instrument must be evaluated under ASC 470-20 for the identification of a possible BCF. The BCF was initially recognized as an offsetting reduction to Series B Preferred Stock (debit) - Temporary Equity, with the credit being recognized in equity (additional paid-in capital). The resulting issuance costs, discount, value allocated to warrants, and BCF should be accreted to the Series B Preferred Stock to ensure that the Series B Preferred Stock balance is equal to its face value as of the redemption or conversion date, if conversion is expected earlier.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font

2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and December 31, 2016, respectively. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, the Company utilized a Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the May 2016 Warrants. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect. In the event the convertible Series B1 Preferred Stock shares are redeemed, any redemption price in excess of the carrying amount of the convertible Series B1 Preferred Stock would be treated as a dividend.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Certificate of Designation of the Series B1 Preferred Stock contains customary anti-dilution protection for proportional adjustments (e.g. stock splits). The May 2016 BCF relates to the difference between the effective conversion price (measured based on proceeds allocated to the Series B1 Preferred Stock) and the fair value of the stock into which Series B1 Preferred Stock shares are currently convertible (common stock). If a conversion option embedded in a debt host instrument does not require separate accounting as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, the convertible hybrid instrument must be evaluated under ASC 470-20 for the identification of a possible BCF. The May 2016 BCF was initially recognized as an offsetting reduction (debit) to Series B1 Preferred Stock - Temporary Equity, with the credit being recognized in equity (additional paid-in capital).  The resulting May 2016 issuance costs, discount, value allocated to warrants, and BCF should be accreted to the Series B1 Preferred Stock to ensure that the Series B1 Preferred Stock balance is equal to its face value as of the redemption or conversion date, if conversion is expected earlier.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div

Our primary focus is recycling used motor oil and other petroleum&#160;by-products. We are engaged in operations across the entire petroleum recycling value chain including collection, aggregation, transportation, storage, re-refinement, and sales of aggregated feedstock and re-refined products to end users. We operate in three divisions Black Oil, Refining and Marketing, and Recovery.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We currently provide our services in 15 states, primarily in the Gulf Coast, Midwest  and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. For the rolling twelve month period ending&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we aggregated approximately 103.8 million gallons of used motor oil and other petroleum by-product feedstocks and managed the re-refining of approximately 73.2 million gallons of used motor oil with our proprietary Thermal Chemical Extraction Process (&#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">TCEP</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#8221;), vacuum gas oil ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">VGO</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">"), and Base Oil processes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Black Oil division collects and purchases used motor oil directly from third-party generators, aggregates used motor oil from an established network of local and regional collectors, and sells used motor oil to our customers for use as a feedstock or replacement fuel for industrial burners.  We operate a refining facility that uses our proprietary TCEP (which is currently not in operation) and we also utilize third-party processing facilities.  We also acquired our Marrero, Louisiana facility, which facility re-refines used motor oil and also produces VGO and our Myrtle Grove re-refining complex in Belle Chasse, Louisiana in May 2014 and at the same time we acquired Golden State Lubricant Works, LLC ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Golden State</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">"), a blending and storage facility in Bakersfield, California which is no longer in operation as of the date of this report.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Refining and Marketing division aggregates and manages the re-refinement of used motor oil and other petroleum&#160;by-products and sells the re-refined products to end customers.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Recovery division includes a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams as well as metals which include transportation, dismantling, demolition, decommission and marine salvage services at industrial facilities throughout the Gulf Coast. </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Black Oil Division</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Black Oil division is engaged in operations across the entire used motor oil recycling value chain including collection, aggregation, transportation, storage, refinement, and sales of aggregated feedstock and re-refined products to end users. We collect and purchase used oil directly from generators such as oil change service stations, automotive repair shops, manufacturing facilities, petroleum refineries, and petrochemical manufacturing operations. We own a fleet of 35 collection vehicles, which routinely visit generators to collect and purchase used motor oil. We also aggregate used oil from a diverse network of approximately 50 suppliers who operate similar collection businesses to ours.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We manage the logistics of transport, storage and delivery of used oil to our customers. We own a fleet of 19 transportation trucks and more than 150 aboveground storage tanks with over 7.3 million gallons of storage capacity. These assets are used by both the Black Oil division and the Refining and Marketing division. In addition, we also utilize third parties for the transportation and storage of used oil feedstocks. Typically, we sell used oil to our customers in bulk to ensure efficient delivery by truck, rail, or barge. In many cases, we have contractual purchase and sale agreements with our suppliers and customers, respectively. We believe these contracts are beneficial to all parties involved because it ensures that a minimum volume is purchased from collectors and generators, a minimum volume is sold to our customers, and we are able to minimize our inventory risk by a spread between the costs to acquire used oil and the revenues received from the sale and delivery of used oil. We have historically used our proprietary TCEP technology to re-refine used oil into marine fuel cutterstock and a higher-value feedstock for further processing (we are currently utilizing TCEP to pre-treat our used motor oil feedstock prior to shipping them to our facility in Marrero, Louisiana; but have not operated our TCEP for the purpose of producing finished cutterstock since the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due to market conditions). In addition, at our Marrero facility we produce a Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) product that is sold to refineries as well as to the marine fuels market. At our Columbus, Ohio facility (Heartland Petroleum) we produce a base oil product that is sold to lubricant packagers and distributors.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Refining and Marketing Division</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:56px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Refining and Marketing division is engaged in the aggregation of feedstock, re-refining it into higher value-end products, and selling these products to our customers, as well as related transportation and storage activities. We aggregate a diverse mix of feedstocks including used motor oil, petroleum distillates, transmix and other off-specification chemical products. These feedstock streams are purchased from pipeline operators, refineries, chemical processing facilities and third-party providers, and are also transferred from our Black Oil division. We have a toll-based processing agreement in place with KMTEX to re-refine feedstock streams, under our direction, into various end products that we specify. KMTEX uses industry standard processing technologies to re-refine our feedstocks into pygas, gasoline blendstock and marine fuel cutterstock. We sell all of our re-refined products directly to end-customers or to processing facilities for further refinement.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Recovery Division</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Recovery division is a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. The Recovery division also provides industrial dismantling, demolition, decommissioning, investment recovery and marine salvage services in industrial facilities. The Company (through this division) owns and operates a fleet of thirteen trucks and heavy equipment used for processing, shipping and handling of reusable process equipment and other scrap commodities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Biomass Renewable Energy</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are also continuing to work on joint development commercial projects which focus on the separation of municipal solid waste into feedstocks for energy production. We are very selective in choosing opportunities that we believe will result in value for our shareholders. We can provide no assurance that the ongoing venture will successfully bring any projects to a point of financing or successful construction and operation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Thermal Chemical Extraction Process</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We own the intellectual property for our patented TCEP. TCEP is a technology which utilizes thermal and chemical dynamics to extract impurities from used oil which increases the value of the feedstock. We intend to continue to develop our TCEP technology and design with the goal of producing additional re-refined products, including lubricating base oil.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">TCEP differs from conventional re-refining technologies, such as vacuum distillation and hydrotreatment, by relying more heavily on chemical processes to remove impurities rather than temperature and pressure. Therefore, the capital requirements to build a TCEP plant are typically much less than a traditional re-refinery because large feed heaters, vacuum distillation columns, </font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">and a hydrotreating unit are not required.  Conventional re-refineries produce lubricating base oils or product grades slightly lower than base oil that can be used as industrial fuels or transportation fuel blendstocks.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We currently estimate the cost to construct a new, fully-functional, commercial facility using our TCEP technology, with annual processing capacity of between 25 and 50 million gallons at another location would be approximately $10 - $15 million, which could fluctuate based on throughput capacity. The facility infrastructure would require additional capitalized expenditures which would depend on the location and site specifics of the facility. We are currently utilizing TCEP to pre-treat our used motor oil feedstocks prior to shipping them to our facility in Marrero, Louisiana; but have not operated our TCEP for the purpose of producing finished cutterstock since the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due to market conditions. As such, we currently have no plans to construct additional TCEP facilities.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Products and Services</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We generate substantially all of our revenue from the sale of five product categories.

Our business was impacted as a result of turnarounds at each of our facilities during the period, as well as operational delays getting feedstock to our facilities due to weather challenges in the Gulf of Mexico during the period.

The majority of this increase was the result of the adjustments in prices of feedstock during the fourth quarter of 2016, which continued into the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which resulted in a strong improvement in gross profit during this period.  In our collection division we successfully maintained our charge for services program.  As a result of this program we currently have customers who are charged for each service performed and others who are charged a monthly fee for as many services performed in that month. Due to the combination of our fee structure change along with our increased third party supply we were able to make progress in lowering our cost of feedstock during the period.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Additionally, our per barrel margin increased 3% relative to the nine months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

One of our key initiatives continues to be a focus on growing our own volumes of collected material and displacing the third party oil processed in our facilities. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Overall volumes of product sold increased 19% for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine months ended September 30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, versus the same period in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The TCEP process is currently being utilized as a pre-treatment for the Used Motor Oil being purchased in the Texas Market and then being sent to our Marrero, Louisiana facility.

pay for raw materials and the market prices for the range of products produced. The various petroleum products produced are typically a function of crude oil indices and are quoted on multiple exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">NYMEX</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">"). These prices are determined by a global market and can be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to supply/demand, weather, politics, and global/regional inventory levels.  As such, we cannot provide any assurances regarding results of operations for any future periods, as numerous  factors outside of our control affect the prices paid for raw materials and the prices (for the most part keyed to the NYMEX) that can be charged for such products. Additionally, for the near term, results of operations will be subject to further uncertainty, as the global markets and exchanges, including the NYMEX, continue to experience volatility.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As our competitors bring new technologies to the marketplace, which will likely enable them to obtain higher values for the finished products created through their technologies from purchased black oil feedstock, we anticipate that they will be able to pay more for feedstock due to the additional value received from their finished product (i.e., as their margins increase, they are able to increase the prices they are willing to pay for feedstock).&#160;If we are not able to continue to refine and improve our technologies and gain efficiencies in our technologies, we could be negatively impacted by the ability of our competitors to bring new processes to market which compete with our processes, as well as their ability to outbid us for feedstock supplies.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If we are unable to effectively compete with additional technologies brought to market by our competitors, our finished products could be worth less and if our competitors are willing to pay more for feedstock than we are, they could drive up prices, which would cause our revenues to decrease (as described above, our revenues track the spread between the prices we purchase feedstock for and the prices we can sell finished product at), and cause our cost of sales to increase, respectively.&#160;Additionally, if we are forced to pay more for feedstock, our cash flows will be negatively impacted and our margins will decrease.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We had selling, general, and administrative expenses of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">16,280,495</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine months ended September 30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">15,285,142</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the prior year period, an increase of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">995,353</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;or </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">7%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

success of our current business operations has become dependent on repairs and maintenance to our facilities and our ability to make routine capital expenditures, as well as our ability to manage our margins which are a function of the difference between what we are able to pay or charge for raw materials and the market prices for the range of products produced. We also must maintain relationships with feedstock suppliers and end-product customers, and operate with efficient management of overhead costs.&#160;Through these relationships, we have historically been able to achieve volume discounts in the procurement of our feedstock, thereby increasing the margins of our segments&#8217; operations.&#160;The resulting operating cash flow is crucial to the viability and growth of our existing business lines.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We had total assets of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$82,285,706</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$86,985,968</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;at December 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160;The decrease was mainly due to depreciation and amortization expense, and cash used in operations. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We had total current liabilities of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">16,226,447</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">22,453,644</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;at December 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160;This decrease was largely due to the approximate $10.5 million pay down of the Goldman Sachs and Midcap debt as a result of the February 1, 2017 refinancing on a long-term basis. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We had total liabilities of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">30,902,405</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, including long-term debt of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">12,750,188</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which included $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">966,847</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;related to E-Source debt.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We had working capital of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,120,492</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, compared to a working capital deficit of $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,268,192</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;as of December 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160;The improvement in working capital from December 31, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, is due to the reasons described above. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our future operating cash flows will vary based on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including commodity prices, the cost of recovered oil, and the ability to turn our inventory.

If it is necessary, we will seek additional financing for future operations, acquisitions or other future developments and to repay amounts owed to our creditors or to redeem our outstanding preferred securities. The required funds may be raised through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, debt, or convertible debt, which may include the grant of warrants.

The sale of additional securities, if undertaken by us and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. However, such future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition to the above, we may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets.

The warrants are accounted for as a liability at their fair value at each reporting period. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded as earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, a Dynamic Black Scholes model is utilized that computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Preferred Stock Classification</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A mandatorily redeemable financial instrument shall be classified as a liability unless the redemption is required to occur only upon the liquidation or termination of the reporting entity.  A financial instrument issued in the form of shares is mandatorily redeemable if it embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event certain to occur. A financial instrument that embodies a conditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets upon an event not certain to occur becomes mandatorily redeemable-and, therefore, becomes a liability-if that event occurs, the condition is resolved, or the event becomes certain to occur.  The Series B Preferred Stock requires the Company to redeem such preferred stock on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred stock and the Series B1 Preferred Stock requires the Company to redeem such preferred stock on the same date as the Series B Preferred Stock. SEC reporting requirements provide that any possible redemption outside of the control of the Company requires the preferred stock to be classified outside of permanent equity.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">29</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our revenues and cost of revenues are affected by fluctuations in the value of energy related products. &#160;We attempt to mitigate much of the risk associated with the volatility of relevant commodity prices by using our knowledge of the market to obtain feedstock at attractive costs, by efficiently managing the logistics associated with our products, by turning our inventory over quickly and by selling our products into markets where we believe we can achieve the greatest value.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">30</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="sA6D80645BAA252C0899F3E13673C4DF2"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 3.

Pursuant to the lawsuit, Whole Environmental, Inc. ("</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Whole</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">"), made certain allegations against E-Source, and Motiva. The claims include Breach of Contract and Quantum Meruit actions relating to asbestos abatement and remediation operations performed for defendants at Motiva's facility in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff alleges it is due monies earned. Defendants have denied any amounts due plaintiff. The suit seeks damages of approximately $864,000, along with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, the fair value of certain property alleged to be converted by defendants and reimbursement of legal fees. E-Source has asserted a counterclaim against Whole for the filing of a mechanic's lien in excess of any amount(s) actually due as well as a cross-claim against Motiva. Under the terms of E-Source's contract with Motiva, Motiva was to pay all sums due to any sub-contractors of E-Source. If any additional monies are owed to Whole, those monies should be paid by Motiva. E-Source seeks to recover the balance due under its contract with Motiva of approximately $1,000,000. The case is set for trial in the spring of 2018. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">33</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s389868853191585890BC2F7E5227F649"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 1A.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company&#8217;s common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notification Letter, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Notification Letter does not impact the Company&#8217;s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. The Notification Letter states that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until March 19, 2018, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company&#8217;s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 19, 2018, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement) and notifies Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company&#8217;s Common Stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">34</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s93C2867E2AE65627A2CA003D1D71FE45"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 2.

VERTEX ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30,
2017
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Vertex Energy, Inc. (the "
Company
" or "
Vertex Energy
")  have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("
SEC
") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on March 14, 2017 (the "
Form 10-K
").  The
December 31, 2016
balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements of our
2016
Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year
2016
as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.
NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
The Company early adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), in the third quarter of 2017 which requires restricted cash to be included in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statements of cash flows. The guidance in this update is to be applied retrospectively; therefore, the 2016 statement of cash flows has been restated to conform to the requirements of ASU 2016-18 and the 2017 presentation.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Pursuant the Sale Agreement described further in Note 4, we placed $
1.5 million
in restricted cash (which was released to us and received in July 2017) and $
1 million
worth of our common stock (
1,108,928
shares) into escrow with the shares to be released to us
12
months following the closing (which shares were released to us and cancelled in March 2017), in order to satisfy any indemnification claims made by Safety-Kleen pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement.
F-6
Inventory
Inventories of products consist of feedstocks, refined petroleum products and recovered ferrous and non-ferrous metals and are reported at the lower of cost or market.   Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("
FIFO
") method. The Company reviews its inventory commodities whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value may not be recoverable.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("
FASB ASC
") regarding long-lived assets. It requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company determined that no long-lived asset impairment existed at
September 30, 2017
.
F-7
Fair value of financial instruments
Under the FASB ASC, we are permitted to elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded in earnings. We elected not to measure any eligible items using the fair value option. Consistent with the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB ASC, we implemented guidelines relating to the disclosure of our methodology for periodic measurement of our assets and liabilities recorded at fair market value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
•
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
•
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
•
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Our Level 1 assets primarily include our cash and cash equivalents. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a business combination and thereby measured at fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740. The Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and when temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers, among other available information, uncertainties surrounding the recoverability of deferred tax assets, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and other matters in making this assessment.
As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process requires the Company to estimate its actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense and depreciation. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets. If actual results differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future periods, the Company may need to adjust its valuation allowance, which could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Tax contingencies can involve complex issues and may require an extended period of time to resolve. Changes in the level of annual pre-tax income can affect the Company's overall effective tax rate. Furthermore, the Company's interpretation of complex tax laws may impact its recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes.
F-8
Derivative Liabilities
In accordance with ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 815-10-15, Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 480-10-25, Liabilities-Distinguishing from Equity, convertible preferred shares are accounted for net, outside of shareholders' equity and warrants are accounted for as liabilities at their fair value during periods where they can be net cash settled in case of a change in control transaction.  The warrants are accounted for as a liability at their fair value at each reporting period. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, a Dynamic Black Scholes model is utilized which computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, our quoted stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company follows the accounting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU No. 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which delayed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017). We are continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 and we currently do not anticipate that the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements, other than enhanced disclosures related to the disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers, our performance obligations and any significant judgments. To date, certain personnel have attended technical training concerning this new recognition standard, and we have assigned internal resources to assist in this project implementation and believe the project is progressing timely. The Company currently anticipates adopting this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, the Company's preliminary assessments could change.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to  recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under ASU No. 2016-02, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early application permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases expiring before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is currently reviewing our various leases to identify those affected by ASU No. 2016-02.

In February 2013, Bank of America agreed to lease the Company equipment to enhance the Thermal Chemical Extraction Process ("

monthly payments remain of approximately
$13,328
each.
The Company's revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for petroleum-based products. Historically, the energy markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that these prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in such prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital, and the quantities of petroleum-based products that the Company can economically produce.
Litigation:
The Company, in its normal course of business, is involved in various other claims and legal action. We are currently party to the following material litigation proceedings:
Vertex Refining LA, LLC ("
Vertex Refining LA
"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex Operating, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary ("
Vertex Operating
") was named as a defendant, along with numerous other parties, in
five
lawsuits filed on or about February 12, 2016, in the Second Parish Court for the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, Case No. 121749, by Russell Doucet et. al., Case No. 121750, by Kendra Cannon et. al., Case No. 121751, by Lashawn Jones et. al., Case No. 121752, by Joan Strauss et. al. and Case No. 121753, by Donna Allen et. al. The suits relate to alleged noxious and harmful emissions from our facility
F-10
located in Marrero, Louisiana.  The suits seek damages for physical and emotional injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses and deprivation of the use and enjoyment of plaintiffs' homes. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves and oppose the relief sought in the complaints, provided that at this stage of the litigation, the Company has no basis for determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.
E-Source Holdings, LLC ("E-Source"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex Operating, was named as a defendant (along with Motiva Enterprises, LLC, ("Motiva")) in a lawsuit filed in the Sixtieth (60th) Judicial District, Jefferson County, Texas, on April 22, 2015. Pursuant to the lawsuit, Whole Environmental, Inc. ("
Whole
"), made certain allegations against E-Source and Motiva. The claims include Breach of Contract and Quantum Meruit actions relating to asbestos abatement and remediation operations performed for defendants at Motiva's facility in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff alleges it is due monies earned. Defendants have denied any amounts due to plaintiff. The suit seeks damages of approximately
$864,000
, along with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, the fair value of certain property alleged to be converted by defendants and reimbursement of legal fees. E-Source has asserted a counterclaim against Whole for the filing of a mechanic's lien in excess of any amount(s) actually due, as well as a cross-claim against Motiva. Under the terms of E-Source's contract with Motiva, Motiva was to pay all sums due to any sub-contractors of E-Source. In management's opinion, any monies due to Whole, should be paid by Motiva. E-Source seeks to recover the balance due under its contract with Motiva of approximately
$1,000,000
. The case is set for trial in the spring of 2018. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.
NOTE 4.  DISPOSITION
On January 28, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "
Sale Agreement
") with Bango Oil, LLC ("
Bango Oil
") and Safety-Kleen Systems Inc. ("
Safety-Kleen
") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Safety-Kleen the used oil re-refining plant on approximately
40
acres in Churchill County, Nevada (the "
Bango Plant
"), which we previously rented, and all equipment, tools and other tangible personal property located at the Bango Plant, which relate to or are used in connection with the operations of the Bango Plant (collectively, the "
Bango Assets
") for an aggregate purchase price of $
35 million
. As shown in the table below, a gain on sale of approximately $
9.7 million
was recorded associated with the sale. The gain on sale is included in gain (loss) on sale of assets in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

toward the Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank (described in "
Note 6. Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt
"), $
9.3 million
to exercise the Purchase Option (described below) and $
1.5 million
for equipment and rail park lease acquisitions subsequently included in the Sale Agreement.
Additionally, at the closing, we placed $
1.5 million
in restricted cash (which was released to us and received in July 2017) and $
1 million
worth of our common stock (
1,108,928
shares) into escrow with the shares to be released to us
12
months following the closing (which shares were released to us and cancelled in March 2017), in order to satisfy any indemnification claims made by Safety-Kleen pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement.
Finally, the Sale Agreement required the Company to use sale proceeds to exercise the purchase option set forth in that certain Lease With Option For Membership Interest Purchase (the "
Bango Lease
") entered into on April 30, 2015, by and between us, Vertex Refining NV, LLC ("
Vertex Refining NV
") and Bango Oil, whereby, we had the option at any time during the term of the lease to purchase all of the equity interests of Bango Oil (the "
Purchase Option
"), effectively acquiring ownership of the Bango Plant for $
9.3 million
. The "
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement"
contains standard and customary representations of the parties and indemnification rights, subject in each case to a $
3 million
cap on aggregate indemnification. Upon the closing of the "
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement"
, we effectively obtained ownership of the Bango Plant, which we then sold to Safety-Kleen, and Bango Oil became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex Refining NV.

Accounts receivable trade, net
$
8,897,445
$
10,952,219
Accounts receivable trade represents amounts due from customers. Accounts receivable trade are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of reserves and allowances and do not bear interest. The Company uses its best estimate to determine the required allowance for doubtful accounts based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, economic trends and conditions affecting its customer base, significant one-time events and historical write-off experience. Specific provisions are recorded for individual receivables when we become aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company reviews the adequacy of its reserves and allowances quarterly.
Receivable balances greater than 30 days past due are individually reviewed for collectability and if deemed uncollectible, are charged off against the allowance accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any significant off balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
NOTE 6. LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Credit and Guaranty Agreement and Revolving Credit Facility with Encina Business Credit, LLC
Effective February 1, 2017, we, Vertex Operating, and substantially all of  our other operating subsidiaries, other than E-Source Holdings, LLC ("

"). Pursuant to the EBC Credit Agreement, and the terms thereof, the EBC Lenders agreed to loan us up to $
20 million
, provided that the amount outstanding under the EBC Credit Agreement at any time cannot exceed
50%
of the value of the operating plant facilities and related machinery and equipment owned by us (not including E-Source).
Amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement bear interest at
12%
,
13%
or
14%
per annum, based on the ratio of (a) (i) consolidated EBITDA for such applicable period minus (ii) capital expenditures made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of income taxes paid in cash during such period (but not less than zero) to (b) the sum of (i) debt service charges plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all dividend or other distributions paid on capital stock in cash for the most recently completed
12
month period (which ratio falls into one of the three following tiers: less than
1
to 1; from
1
to 1 to less than
1.45
to 1; or equal to or greater than
1.45
to 1, which together with the value below, determines which interest rate is applicable) and average availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below) (which falls into two tiers: less than $
2.5 million
and greater than or equal to $
2.5 million
, which together with the calculation above, determines which interest rate is applicable), as described in greater detail in the EBC Credit Agreement (increasing by
2%
per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default). Interest on amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement is payable by us in arrears, on the first business day of each month, beginning on the first business day of the first full month following the closing, together with required $
75,000
monthly principal repayments. We also have the right to make voluntary repayments of the amount owed under the EBC Credit Agreement in amounts equal to or greater than $
100,000
, from time to time.
The EBC Credit Agreement terminates on February 1, 2020, on which date we are required to repay the outstanding balance owed thereunder and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
The amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries, other than E-Source, pursuant to a Guaranty and Security Agreement (the "
Guaranty and Security Agreement
"), whereby we also pledged substantially all of our assets and all of the securities of our subsidiaries (other than E-Source) as collateral securing the amount due under the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement. We also provided EBC mortgages on our Marrero, Louisiana, and
F-12
Columbus, Ohio facilities to secure the repayment of outstanding amounts and agreed to provide mortgages on certain other real property to be delivered post-closing. The post-closing mortgage properties provided were in Baytown, Pflugerville and Corpus Christi, Texas.
The EBC Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and requirements for the Company to indemnify the EBC Lenders and their affiliates. The EBC Credit Agreement also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding upon the Company, including, prohibiting us from undertaking acquisitions or dispositions unless they meet the criteria set forth in the EBC Credit Agreement, not incurring any capital expenditures in amount exceeding
$3 million
in any fiscal year that the EBC Credit Agreement is in place, and requiring us to maintain at least
$2.5 million
of average borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below) in any
30
day period. As of September 30, 2017, the average borrowing availability was
$3,118,937
, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants thereunder.
The EBC Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of a similar nature and size as the EBC Credit Agreement, including if an event of default occurs under any agreement evidencing
$500,000
or more of indebtedness of the Company; we fail to make any payment when due under any material agreement; subject to certain exceptions, any judgment is entered against the Company in an amount exceeding
$500,000
; and also provides that an event of default occurs if a change in control of the Company occurs, which includes if (a) Benjamin P. Cowart, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder and Chris Carlson, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, cease to own and control legally and beneficially, collectively, either directly or indirectly, equity securities in Vertex Energy, Inc., representing more than
15%
of the combined voting power of all securities entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent on a fully-diluted basis, (b) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group of securities representing more than
30%
of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding securities of Vertex Energy, Inc., or (c) during any period of
12
consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company cease to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body (collectively "
Events of Default
"). An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below), is also an event of default under the EBC Credit Agreement.
Effective February 1, 2017, we, Vertex Operating and substantially all of our operating subsidiaries, other than E-Source, entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "
Revolving Credit Agreement
") with Encina Business Credit SPV, LLC as lender ("
Encina
") and EBC as the administrative agent. Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, and the terms thereof, Encina agreed to loan us, on a revolving basis, up to
$10 million
, subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and certain lending ratios set forth therein, which provide that the amount outstanding thereunder cannot exceed an amount equal to the total of (a) the lesser of (A) the value (as calculated in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of our inventory which are raw materials or finished goods that are merchantable and readily saleable to the public in the ordinary course of our business ("
EBC Eligible Inventory
"), net of certain inventory reserves, multiplied by
85%
of the appraised value of EBC Eligible Inventory, or (B) the value (as calculated in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of EBC Eligible Inventory, net of certain inventory reserves, multiplied by
65%
, subject to a ceiling of
$4 million
, plus (b) the face amount of certain accounts receivables (net of certain reserves applicable thereto) multiplied by
85%
(subject to adjustment as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement); minus (c) the then-current amount of certain reserves that the agent may determine necessary for the Company to maintain. At September 30, 2017, the maximum amount available to be borrowed was
$3,011,038
, based on the above borrowing base calculation.
Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, at the one month LIBOR interest rate then in effect, subject to a floor of
0.25%
(which interest rate is currently approximately
1.23%
per annum), plus an additional
6.50%
per annum (increasing by
2%
per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default), provided that under certain circumstances amounts borrowed bear interest at the higher of (a) the "prime rate"; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus
0.50%
; and (c) the LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period, plus
1.00%
. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement is payable by us in arrears, on the first business day of each month, beginning on the first business day of the first full month following the closing.
The Revolving Credit Agreement terminates on February 1, 2020, on which date we are required to repay the outstanding balance owed thereunder and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Borrowings under a revolving credit agreement that contain a subjective acceleration clause and also require a borrower to maintain a lockbox with the lender (whereby lockbox
F-13
receipts may be applied to reduce the amount outstanding under the revolving credit agreement) are considered short-term obligations. As a result, the debt is classified as a current liability at September 30, 2017.
The amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries, other than E-Source, pursuant to a separate Guaranty and Security Agreement, similar to the EBC Credit Agreement, described in greater detail above. We also provided Encina mortgages on our Marrero, Louisiana, and Columbus, Ohio facilities to secure the repayment of outstanding amounts.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and requirements for the Company to indemnify Encina and its affiliates. The Revolving Credit Agreement also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding upon the Company, including, prohibiting us from undertaking acquisitions or dispositions unless they meet the criteria set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement, not incurring any capital expenditures in amount exceeding
$3 million
in any fiscal year that the Revolving Credit Agreement is in place, and requiring us to maintain at least $
2.5 million
of average borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement in any
30
day period.
The Revolving Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of a similar nature and size as the Revolving Credit Agreement, including the same Events of Default as are described above under the description of the EBC Credit Agreement.
A total of $
11,282,537
of the amount initially borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement was used to repay amounts owed under (a) the Restated Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (defined below), (b) our loan agreement with MidCap (defined below); and (c) the Fox Note (defined below), all of which have been repaid in full as of the date of this filing. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of such obligations, the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement and Midcap Loan Agreement, and our right to borrow funds thereunder were terminated.
The balance of the EBC Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017 are
$13,975,000
and
$3,738,483
, respectively.
Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank
In May 2014, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (as amended, the "
Credit Agreement
"). Pursuant to the agreement, Goldman Sachs Bank USA loaned the Company
$40 million
in the form of a term loan. As set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to select whether loans made under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate in effect, (ii) the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System plus ½ of 1%, (iii) the sum of (A) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (B)
1%
, and (iv)
4.5%
per annum; or (b) the greater of (i)
1.50%
and (ii) the applicable ICE Benchmark Administration Limited interest rate, divided by (x) one minus, (y) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Interest on the Credit Agreement is payable monthly in arrears.
The Credit Agreement was secured by all of the assets of the Company.
On March 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment with Goldman Sachs Bank USA to amend the Credit Agreement to among other things, provide for the waiver of the prior defaults and to restructure certain covenants and other financial requirements of the Credit Agreement and to allow for our entry into the MidCap Loan Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, and covenants for facilities of similar nature and size as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also included various covenants binding the Company including limits on indebtedness the Company could incur and maintenance of certain financial ratios relating to consolidated EBITDA and debt leverage.
On January 29, 2016, we, Vertex Operating, certain of our other subsidiaries, Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc., as lender ("
Lender
") and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, a New York State-Chartered Bank, as Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger and Collateral Agent ("
Agent
") entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "
Restated Credit Agreement
").  The Restated Credit Agreement changed the Credit Agreement to an $
8.9 million
multi-draw term loan credit facility (of which approximately $
6.4 million
was outstanding and $
2.5 million
was available to be drawn pursuant to the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement on substantially similar terms as the then outstanding amounts owed to the Lender); modified the Credit Agreement to adjust certain EBITDA calculations in connection with the purchase of Bango Oil and the sale of the Bango Plant as described above; provided for approval for us to exercise the Purchase Option, enter into and effect the transactions contemplated
F-14
by a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Subscription Agreement, and the Sale Agreement, and allowed for the issuance of the Fox Note (defined below) and a Mortgage securing such obligation, confirmed that we were required to make payments of $
800,000
per quarter from June 30, 2016 through maturity (May 2, 2019); provided us a moratorium on the prepayment of amounts owed under the Restated Credit Agreement as a result of various financial ratios we are required to meet through December 31, 2016; provided for us to retain any business interruption insurance proceeds received in connection with the Bango Plant; provided for us to pay $
16 million
received at closing from the sale of the Bango Assets, all amounts released from escrow and any other cash proceeds in excess of $
500,000
received from the Sale Agreement after closing to the Lender as prepayment of amounts due under the Restated Credit Agreement; allowed us the right to make certain permitted acquisitions moving forward, without further consent of the Lender, provided that among other requirements, such acquisitions are in the same business or line of business as the Company, that such acquired businesses have generated consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters preceding such acquisition in excess of capital expenditures for such period (taking into account adjustments acceptable to the Agent for synergies expected to be achieved within the
90 days
following the closing of such acquisition), and that the funding for such acquisition comes from certain limited sources set forth in greater detail in the Restated Credit Agreement; adjusted certain fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios we were required to meet on a quarterly basis from September 30, 2016 to maturity; required us to maintain at least $
2 million
of liquidity at all times; provided that events of default under the Credit Agreement include events of default under the Fox Note (defined below); and made various other updates and changes to take into account transactions which had occurred through the date of such agreement, and to remove expired and non-material terms of the prior Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was terminated effective February 1, 2017.
MidCap Loan Agreement
Effective March 27, 2015, the Company, Vertex Operating and all of the Company's other subsidiaries other than E-Source and Golden State Lubricant Works, LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Business Credit LLC ("
MidCap
" and the "
MidCap Loan Agreement
"). Pursuant to the MidCap Loan Agreement, MidCap agreed to loan us up to the lesser of (i) $
7 million
; and (ii)
85%
of the amount of accounts receivable due to us which meet certain requirements set forth in the MidCap Loan Agreement ("
Qualified Accounts
"), plus the lesser of (y) $
3 million
and (z)
50%
of the cost or market value, whichever is lower, of our raw material and finished goods which had not yet been sold, subject to the terms and conditions of the MidCap Loan Agreement ("
Eligible Inventory
"), minus any amount which MidCap may require from time to time in order to over secure amounts owed to MidCap under the MidCap Loan Agreement, as long as no event of default had occurred or was continuing under the terms of the MidCap Loan Agreement. The requirement of MidCap to make loans under the MidCap Loan Agreement was subject to certain standard conditions and requirements.
On November 9, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the "
Midcap First Amendment
").  The Midcap First Amendment amended the Midcap Loan Agreement to add Vertex Refining OH, LLC ("
Vertex OH
") as a party thereto; remove Vertex OH's requirement to enter into a negative pledge agreement with MidCap; created separate maximum borrowing base credit limits for Vertex OH's accounts and customers ($
100,000
maximum per customer, subject to certain exceptions); excluded customers who are based outside of the U.S. or Canada from the credit limits if backed by a bank letter of credit or covered by a foreign receivables insurance policy; removed inventory of Vertex OH from the definition of Eligible Inventory under the Midcap Loan Agreement; and provided that additional affiliates of the Company may become party to the Midcap Loan Agreement by executing an assumption agreement and revolving note in favor of Midcap.  The MidCap Loan Agreement was terminated effective February 1, 2017.
Fox Note
On January 29, 2016, Vertex OH, borrowed $
5.15 million
from Fox Encore 05 LLC, the prior owner of Bango Oil ("
Fox Encore
") and provided a Promissory Note to Fox Encore to reflect such borrowed funds (the "
Fox Note
"). The Fox Note bears interest at
10%
percent per annum (
15%
upon the occurrence of an event of default), payable monthly in arrears beginning on February 29, 2016. The principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Fox Note was due on the earlier of (a) July 31, 2016 (as may be extended by Vertex OH as discussed below, the "
Maturity Date
"), or (b) upon acceleration of the Fox Note during the existence of an event of default as discussed therein. Provided that no event of default was then existing on the Fox Note or under any other loan document associated therewith, and certain other requirements as described in the Fox Note are met, Vertex OH had the right to
three
(3) extension options (each, an "
Extension Option
") pursuant to which Vertex OH could extend the Maturity Date for
six
(6) months each. The first extension extended the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until January 31, 2017 and Vertex OH exercised this Extension Option on June 16, 2016.  The second extension would have extended the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until July 31, 2017, and the third extension would have extended the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until January 29, 2018. Upon exercising an Extension Option, Vertex OH was required to pay Fox Encore an extension fee equal to
3%
of the then outstanding principal amount of the Fox Note, which amount was separate from, and is not applied toward, the outstanding indebtedness owed under
F-15
the Fox Note; provided, however, upon exercise of the initial Extension Option, the
3%
fee for such extension was not required to be paid in cash but instead only resulted in the termination of a prepayment discount described below. The Fox Note could be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty, provided that if repaid in full by July 31, 2016, the amount to be repaid was to be decreased by $
150,000
. The Fox Note was secured by a Mortgage. The Fox Note included certain standard and customary financial reporting requirements, notice requirements, indemnification requirements, covenants and events of default. The Fox Note also included a provision allowing the Lender (or any other lender party to the Restated Credit Agreement) to purchase the Fox Note upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Restated Credit Agreement.  In July 2016, we exercised the first Extension Option, extending the Maturity Date of the Fox Note to January 31, 2017. The Fox Note was repaid in full effective February 1, 2017.
Texas Citizens Bank Loan Agreement

1,060,065
at
December 31, 2016

NOTE 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and September 30, 2016, respectively, includes the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, such as convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants or convertible securities. Due to their anti-dilutive effect, the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and September 30, 2016 excludes: 1) options to purchase
3,030,249
and
2,777,552
shares, respectively, of common stock, 2) warrants to purchase
7,353,061
and
4,252,135
shares, respectively, of common stock, 3) Series B Preferred Stock which is convertible into
3,376,938
and
4,895,244
shares, respectively, of common stock, 4) Series B1 Preferred Stock which is convertible into
12,862,572
and
12,501,558
shares, respectively, of common stock, 5) Series A Preferred Stock which is convertible into
456,608
and
492,716
shares, respectively, of common stock, and 6)
31,568
and
44,000

Series A Preferred
Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive dividends, when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors. No dividends or similar distributions may be made on shares of capital stock or securities junior to our Series A Preferred until dividends in the same amount per share on our Series A Preferred have been declared and paid. In connection with a liquidation, winding-up, dissolution or sale of the Company, each share of our Series A Preferred is entitled to receive $
1.49
prior to similar liquidation payments due on shares of our common stock or any other class of securities junior to the Series A Preferred. Shares of Series A Preferred are not entitled to participate with the holders of our common stock with respect to the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company.
Each share of Series A Preferred is entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which it is convertible. Generally, holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred vote together as a single class.
Shares of Series A Preferred automatically convert into shares of our common stock on the earliest to occur of the following:
•
The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred;
•
If the closing market price of our common stock averages at least $
15.00
per share over a period of
20
consecutive trading days and the daily trading volume averages at least
7,500
shares over such period;
•
If we consummate an underwritten public offering of our securities at a price per share not less than $
10.00
and for a total gross offering amount of at least $
10 million
; or
•
If a sale of the Company occurs resulting in proceeds to the holders of Series A Preferred of a per share amount of at least $
10.00
.
Each share of Series A Preferred converts into
one
share of common stock, subject to adjustment.
Series B Preferred Stock and Temporary Equity
Dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of
6%
of the original issue price of the preferred stock (
$3.10
per share), subject to increase under certain circumstances, and are payable on a quarterly basis. The dividends are payable by the Company, at the Company's election, in registered common stock of the Company (if available) or cash. In the event dividends are paid in registered common stock of the Company, the number of shares payable will be calculated by dividing (a) the accrued dividend by (b)
90%
of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's common stock for the
10
trading days immediately prior to the applicable date of determination (the "
June 2015 Dividend Stock Payment Price
"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Company pay dividends in common stock unless the applicable June 2015 Dividend Stock Payment Price is above
$2.91
. If the Company is prohibited from paying or chooses not to pay, the dividend in cash (due to contractual senior credit agreements or other restrictions) or is unable to pay the dividend in registered common stock, the dividend can be paid in-kind in Series B Preferred Stock shares at
$3.10
per share.
The Series B Preferred Stock include a liquidation preference (in the amount of
$3.10
per share) which is junior to the Company's previously outstanding shares of preferred stock, senior credit facilities and other debt holders as provided in further detail in the designation and senior to the Series C Preferred Stock and pari passu with the Series B1 Preferred Stock.
F-20
The Series B Preferred Stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends) is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the holder's option at
$3.10
per share (initially a
one
-for-one basis). If the Company's common stock trades at or above
$6.20
per share for a period of
20
consecutive trading days, the Company may at such time force conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends) into common stock of the Company.
The Series B Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on an as-converted basis, provided that each holder's voting rights are subject to and limited by the Series B Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below.
The Company has the option to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at
$3.10
per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock redeemed, at any time beginning on June 24, 2017, and the Company is required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at
$3.10
per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, on June 24, 2020. Notwithstanding either of the foregoing, the Series B Preferred Stock may not be redeemed unless and until amounts outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility have been paid in full.
The Series B Preferred Stock contains a provision prohibiting the conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company, if upon such conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than
9.999%
of the Company's then outstanding common stock (the "
Series B Beneficial Ownership Limitation
"). The Series B Beneficial Ownership Limitation does not apply to forced conversions undertaken by the Company pursuant to the terms of the designation (summarized above).
On June 24, 2015, we closed the transactions contemplated by the June 19, 2015 Unit Purchase Agreement (the "
June 2015 Purchase Agreement
") we entered into with certain institutional investors (the "
June 2015 Investors
"), pursuant to which the Company sold the Investors an aggregate of
8,064,534
units (the "
June 2015 Units
"), each consisting of (i)
one
share of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii)
one
warrant to purchase one-half of a share of common stock of the Company (each a "
June 2015 Warrant
" and collectively, the "
June 2015 Warrants
"). The Units were sold at a price of
$3.10
per Unit (the "
June 2015 Unit Price
") (a
6.1%
premium to the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date the June 2015 Purchase Agreement was entered into which was
$2.91
per share (the "
June 2015 Closing Bid Price
")). The June 2015 Warrants have an exercise price of
$2.92
per share (
$0.01
above the June 2015 Closing Bid Price). Total gross proceeds from the offering of the June 2015 Units (the "
June 2015 Offering
") were
$25.0 million
.
The Placement Agent received a commission equal to
6.5%
of the gross proceeds (less
$4.0 million
raised from certain investors in the June 2015 Offering for which they received no fee) from the June 2015 Offering, for an aggregate commission of
$1.4 million
which was netted against the proceeds.
We used the net proceeds from the June 2015 Offering to repay amounts owed under the Goldman Credit Agreement in the amount of
$15.1 million
.
In addition, under the June 2015 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the June 2015 Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for resale by the June 2015 Investors. The Company committed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 by the 30th day following the closing of the June 2015 Offering (which filing date was met) and to cause the registration statement to become effective by the 90th day following the closing (or, in the event of a "
full review
" by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the 120th day following the closing), which registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission  (SEC) on August 6, 2015, provided that a post-effective amendment to that registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 31, 2016.  The June 2015 Purchase Agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to cause the registration statement to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of the liquidated damages is
1.0%
of the aggregate subscription amount paid by a June 2015 Investor for the June 2015 Units affected by the event that are still held by the June 2015 Investor upon the occurrence of the event, due on the date immediately following the event that caused such failure (or the 30th day following such event if the event relates to the suspension of the registration statement as described in the June 2015 Purchase Agreement), and each 30 days thereafter, with such payments to be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period, subject to a maximum of an aggregate of
6%
per annum.
Under the June 2015 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Investors for liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the June 2015 Purchase Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the June 2015 Purchase Agreement and (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the registration statement, subject to certain exceptions. The June 2015 Investors, severally, and not jointly agreed to indemnify the Company against (i) any failure by such June 2015 Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in the June 2015 Purchase
F-21
Agreement and (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement to the extent such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of that June 2015 Investor specifically for use in preparation of the registration statement, subject to certain exceptions.
The June 2015 Warrants were valued using the Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula pricing model that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the warrant shares at
$7,028,067
. The Black-Scholes inputs used were: expected dividend rate of
0%
, expected volatility of
70%
-
100%
, risk free interest rate of
1.59%
, and expected term of
5.5 years
. This valuation resulted in a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible preferred stock of
$5,737,796
. This amount will be accreted over the term as a deemed dividend. Fees in the amount of
$1.4 million
relating to the stock placement were netted against proceeds. The June 2015 Warrants are exercisable beginning on December 26, 2015, and expire on December 24, 2020.
In connection with the May 2016 Purchase Agreement described below under "
Series B1 Preferred Stock and Temporary Equity
", certain funds received in that offering totaling
$11,189,838
were used to immediately repurchase and retire
3,575,070
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and pay the accrued but unpaid dividends due thereon and on certain other shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by those holders (the "
Repurchases
"). In connection with this transaction, $
5,408,131
of unaccreted discount on these
3,575,070
shares of Series B Preferred Stock which were retired, was immediately recognized, which represents the pro-rata portion of the unaccreted discount.

In accordance with ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 815-10-15 Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 480-10-25 Liabilities-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the convertible preferred shares are accounted for net outside of stockholders' equity at $
6,812,524
with the June 2015 Warrants accounted for as liabilities at their fair value of
$644,382
and
$1,952,565
as of
September 30, 2017
and December 31, 2016, respectively. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these June 2015 Warrants, the Company utilized a Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the June 2015 Warrants in the presence of the dilution effect. In the event the convertible preferred shares are redeemed, any redemption price in excess of the carrying amount of the convertible preferred stock would be treated as a dividend.
The warrants related to the June 2015 Series B Preferred Stock and the May 2016 Series B1 Preferred Stock were revalued at
September 30, 2017
and December 31, 2016 using the Dynamic Black Scholes model that computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares at approximately $
1,689,090
and $
4,365,992
, respectively. At
September 30, 2017
, the June 2015 Warrants and the May 2016 Warrants were valued at approximately $
644,382
and $
1,044,708
, respectively. The Dynamic Black Scholes Merton inputs used were: expected dividend rate of
0%
, expected volatility of
78%-100%
, risk free interest rate of
1.14%
, and expected term of
2.62
years (June 2015 Warrants) and
4.81
years (May 2016 Warrants).
F-22
The Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock contains customary anti-dilution protection for proportional adjustments (e.g. stock splits). The beneficial conversion feature (BCF) relates to potential differences between the effective conversion price (measured based on proceeds allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock) and the fair value of the stock into which Preferred B Shares are currently convertible (common stock). If a conversion option embedded in a debt host instrument does not require separate accounting as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, the convertible hybrid instrument must be evaluated under ASC 470-20 for the identification of a possible BCF. The BCF was initially recognized as an offsetting reduction to Series B Preferred Stock (debit) - Temporary Equity, with the credit being recognized in equity (additional paid-in capital). The resulting issuance costs, discount, value allocated to warrants, and BCF should be accreted to the Series B Preferred Stock to ensure that the Series B Preferred Stock balance is equal to its face value as of the redemption or conversion date, if conversion is expected earlier.
The initial BCF of the Series B Preferred Stock was determined by calculating the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as follows:

and

, respectively, a total of $
139,186
and $
214,227
of dividends were accrued on our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. We were prohibited from paying such dividends in shares of common stock because the applicable June 2015 Dividend Stock Payment Price was below
$2.91
. In the event the applicable June 2015 Dividend Stock Payment Price is below
$2.91
we are required to pay such dividend in cash or in-kind in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and we chose to pay such dividends in-kind.
Series B1 Preferred Stock and Temporary Equity
Dividends on our Series B1 Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of
6%
of the original issue price of the preferred stock (
$1.56
per share), subject to increases under certain circumstances, and are payable on a quarterly basis. The dividends are payable by the Company, at the Company's election, in registered common stock of the Company (if available) or cash. In the event dividends are paid in registered common stock of the Company, the number of shares payable will be calculated by dividing (a) the accrued dividend by (b)
90%
of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's common stock for the
10
trading days immediately prior to the applicable date of determination (the "
May 2016 Dividend Stock Payment Price
"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Company pay dividends in common stock unless the applicable May 2016 Dividend Stock Payment Price is above
$1.52
. If the Company is prohibited from paying, or chooses not to pay, the dividend in cash (due to contractual senior credit agreements or other restrictions) or is unable to pay the dividend in registered common stock, the dividend can be paid in-kind in Series B1 Preferred Stock shares at
$1.56
per share.
The Series B1 Preferred Stock include a liquidation preference (in the amount of
$1.56
per share) which is junior to the Company's previously outstanding shares of preferred stock, except the Series B Preferred Stock, which it is pari passu with, senior credit facilities and other debt holders as provided in further detail in the designation and senior to the Series C Preferred Stock.
The Series B1 Preferred Stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends) is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the holder's option at
$1.56
per share (initially a
one
-for-one basis). If the Company's common stock trades at or above
$3.90
per share for a period of
20
consecutive trading days, after certain triggering events occur, the Company may at such time force conversion of the Series B1 Preferred Stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends) into common stock of the Company.
The Series B1 Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on an as-converted basis, provided that each holder's voting rights are subject to and limited by the Series B1 Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below.
The Company has the option to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock at
$1.72
per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series B1 Preferred Stock redeemed, at any time beginning on June 24, 2017, and the Company
F-23
is required to redeem the Series B1 Preferred Stock at
$1.56
per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, on June 24, 2020. Notwithstanding either of the foregoing, the Series B1 Preferred Stock may not be redeemed unless and until amounts outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility have been paid in full.
The Series B1 Preferred Stock and May 2016 Warrants (defined below) contain provisions prohibiting the conversion of such Series B1 Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company, if upon such conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than
9.999%
(
4.999%
for certain holders) of the Company's then outstanding common stock (the "
Series B1 Beneficial Ownership
Limitation
"). The Series B1 Beneficial Ownership Limitation does not apply to forced conversions undertaken by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Designation (summarized above).
On May 10, 2016, we entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the "
May 2016 Purchase Agreement
") with certain institutional investors (the "
May 2016 Investors
"), pursuant to which, on May 13, 2016, the Company sold the May 2016 Investors an aggregate of
12,403,683
units (the "
May 2016 Units
"), each consisting of (i)
one
share of Series B1 Preferred Stock and (ii)
one
warrant to purchase one-quarter of a share of common stock of the Company (each a "
May 2016 Warrant
" and collectively, the "
May 2016 Warrants
"). The Units were sold at a price of
$1.56
per Unit (the "
May 2016 Unit Price
") (a
2.6%
premium to the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date the May 2016 Purchase Agreement was entered into which was
$1.52
per share (the "
May 2016
Closing Bid Price
")). The May 2016 Warrants have an exercise price of
$1.53
per share (
$0.01
above the May 2016 Closing Bid Price). Total gross proceeds from the offering of the Units (the "
May 2016 Offering
") were
$19.4 million
.
A total of
$18,649,738
of the securities sold in the May 2016 Offering were purchased by investors who participated in the Company's prior June 2015 offering of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. A total of
60%
of the funds received from such investors were used to immediately repurchase such investors' Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, a total of
$11,189,838
of the proceeds raised in the May 2016 Offering were used to immediately repurchase and retire
3,575,070
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the "
Repurchases
").
The Placement Agent in the offering received a commission equal to
6.5%
of the net proceeds from the May 2016 Offering, after affecting the Repurchases described above, for an aggregate commission of
$0.61 million
which was netted against the proceeds raised.
We used the net proceeds from the May 2016 Offering to repay amounts owed under the Credit Agreement in the amount of
$0.8 million
and the remaining proceeds were used for working capital purposes and potential acquisitions.
In addition, under the May 2016 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B1 Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the May 2016 Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for resale by the May 2016 Investors. The Company committed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 by the 30th day following the closing of the May 2016 Offering (which filing date was met) and to cause the registration statement to become effective by the 90th day following the closing (or, in the event of a "
full review
" by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the 120th day following the closing), which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 10, 2016.  The May 2016 Purchase Agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to cause the registration statement to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of the liquidated damages is
1.0%
of the aggregate subscription amount paid by a May 2016 Investor for the May 2016 Units affected by the event that are still held by the May 2016  Investor upon the occurrence of the event, due on the date immediately following the event that caused such failure (or the 30th day following such event if the event relates to the suspension of the registration statement as described in the May 2016 Purchase Agreement), and each 30 days thereafter, with such payments to be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period, subject to a maximum of an aggregate of
6%
per annum.
Under the May 2016 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the May 2016 Investors for liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the May 2016 Purchase Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the May 2016 Purchase Agreement and (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the registration statement, subject to certain exceptions. The Investors, severally, and not jointly agreed to indemnify the Company against (i) any failure by such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in the May 2016 Purchase Agreement and (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement to the extent such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of that Investor specifically for use in preparation of the registration statement, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company agreed pursuant to the May 2016 Purchase Agreement, that until 60 days following effectiveness of the registration
F-24
statement filed, to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series B1 Preferred Stock and May 2016 Warrants (the "
May 2016 Lock-Up Period
"), to not offer or sell any common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock, except pursuant to certain exceptions described in the May 2016 Purchase Agreement, and each of the Company's officers and directors agreed to not sell or offer for sale any shares of common stock until the end of the May 2016 Lock-Up Period, subject to certain exceptions.
The May 2016 Warrants were valued using the Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula pricing model that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the May 2016 Warrant shares at
$2,867,264
. The Dynamic Black Scholes Merton inputs used were: expected dividend rate of
0%
, expected volatility of
70%
-
100%
, risk free interest rate of
1.22%
, and expected term of
5.5
years. This valuation resulted in a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible preferred stock of
$2,371,106
. This amount will be accreted over the term as a deemed dividend. Fees in the amount of
$0.6 million
relating to the stock placement were netted against proceeds. The May 2016 Warrants are exercisable beginning on November 14, 2016, and expire on November 14, 2021.

In accordance with ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 815-10-15 Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 480-10-25 Liabilities-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the convertible Series B1 Preferred Stock shares are accounted for net outside of stockholders' equity at $
15,280,750
with the May 2016 Warrants accounted for as liabilities at their fair value of $
1,044,708
and
$2,413,427
as of
September 30, 2017
and December 31, 2016, respectively. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, the Company utilized a Dynamic Black Scholes Merton formula that computes the impact of share dilution upon the exercise of the May 2016 Warrants. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect. In the event the convertible Series B1 Preferred Stock shares are redeemed, any redemption price in excess of the carrying amount of the convertible Series B1 Preferred Stock would be treated as a dividend.
The Certificate of Designation of the Series B1 Preferred Stock contains customary anti-dilution protection for proportional adjustments (e.g. stock splits). The May 2016 BCF relates to the difference between the effective conversion price (measured based on proceeds allocated to the Series B1 Preferred Stock) and the fair value of the stock into which Series B1 Preferred Stock shares are currently convertible (common stock). If a conversion option embedded in a debt host instrument does not require separate accounting as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, the convertible hybrid instrument must be evaluated under ASC 470-20 for the identification of a possible BCF. The May 2016 BCF was initially recognized as an offsetting reduction (debit) to Series B1 Preferred Stock - Temporary Equity, with the credit being recognized in equity (additional paid-in capital).  The resulting May 2016 issuance costs, discount, value allocated to warrants, and BCF should be accreted to the Series B1 Preferred Stock to ensure that the Series B1 Preferred Stock balance is equal to its face value as of the redemption or conversion date, if conversion is expected earlier.

The May 2016 BCF was determined by calculating the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as follows:

As of

and $
290,247
of dividends were accrued on our outstanding Series B1 Preferred Stock. We were prohibited from paying such dividends in shares of common stock because the applicable 2016 Dividend Stock Payment Price was below
$1.52
. In the event the applicable Dividend Stock Payment Price is below
$1.52
, we are required to pay such dividend in cash or in-kind in additional shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock, and we choose to pay such dividends in-kind.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On January 29, 2016, we sold
44,000
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("
Series C Preferred Stock
"), as described below, in consideration for
$4 million
.
The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, authorized on January 29, 2016, does not accrue a dividend, but has participation rights on an as-converted basis, to any dividends paid on the Company's common stock (other than dividends paid solely in common stock). Each Series C Preferred Stock share has a
$100
face value, and a liquidation preference (in the amount of
$100
per share) which is junior to the Company's previously outstanding shares of preferred stock (including the Series B and B1 Preferred Stock), senior credit facilities and other debt holders as provided in further detail in the designation, but senior to the common stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the holder's option at any time at
$1.00
per share (initially each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into
100
shares of common stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits and recapitalizations)). The Series C Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on an as-converted basis (the "
Voting Rights
"), provided that each holder's voting rights are subject to and limited by the Series C Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below and provided further that notwithstanding any of the foregoing, solely for purposes of determining the Voting Rights, the Voting Rights accorded to such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined
as if converted at
$1.05
per share (
the market value of the common stock as of the close of trading on the day prior to the
original issuance date of the Series C Preferred Stock
), and subject to equitable adjustment as discussed in the designation
. There are no redemption rights associated with the Series C Preferred Stock.
F-26
The Series C Preferred Stock contains a provision prohibiting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company, if upon such conversion or exercise, as applicable, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than
4.999%
of the Company's then outstanding common stock (the "
Series C Beneficial Ownership Limitation
"). The Series C Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased up and down on a per holder basis, with
61
days prior written notice from any holder, provided the Series C Beneficial Ownership Limitation may never be higher than
9.999%
.
So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, we are prohibited from undertaking any of the following without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock: (a) increasing or decreasing (other than by conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock; (b) re-issuing any shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted; (c) creating, or authorizing the creation of, or issuing or obligating the Company to issue shares of, any class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to (and not pari passu with) the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or increasing the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to (and not pari passu with) the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (d) effecting an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series C Preferred Stock (except pursuant to the terms of the designation); (e) effecting an exchange, or creating a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series C Preferred Stock (except pursuant to the terms of the designation); (f) issuing any additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock; (g) altering or changing the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series; or (h) amending or waiving any provision of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws relative to the Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in any material respect as compared to holders of other series of shares.
On August 2, 2016, the Company issued
1,243,200
shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of
12,432
shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled
31,568
shares.

NOTE 11.  INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate of
0%
on pretax income differs from the U.S. federal income tax of
34%
because of the change in our valuation allowance.
The year to date loss at September 30, 2017 put the Company in an accumulated loss position for the cumulative
12
quarters then ended. For tax reporting purposes, we have net operating losses ("NOLs") of approximately
$51.8 million
as of September 30, 2017 that are available to reduce future taxable income. In determining the carrying value of our net deferred tax asset, the Company considered all negative and positive evidence. The Company has incurred a pre-tax loss of approximately
$8.0 million
from January 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017. As a result, the Company created a full valuation allowance of
100%
to offset the entire balances of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.

Merger
"). In connection with the Merger, (i) each outstanding share of World Waste common stock was canceled and exchanged for 0.10 shares of our common stock; (ii) each outstanding share of World Waste Series A preferred stock was canceled and exchanged for 0.4062 shares of our Series A preferred stock; and (iii) each outstanding share of World Waste Series B preferred stock was canceled and exchanged for 11.651 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Description of Business Activities:
We are an environmental services company that recycles industrial waste streams and off-specification commercial chemical products. Our primary focus is recycling used motor oil and other petroleum by-products. We are engaged in operations across the entire petroleum recycling value chain including collection, aggregation, transportation, storage, re-refinement, and sales of aggregated feedstock and re-refined products to end users. We operate in three divisions Black Oil, Refining and Marketing, and Recovery.
We currently provide our services in 15 states, primarily in the Gulf Coast, Midwest  and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. For the rolling twelve month period ending
September 30, 2017
, we aggregated approximately 103.8 million gallons of used motor oil and other petroleum by-product feedstocks and managed the re-refining of approximately 73.2 million gallons of used motor oil with our proprietary Thermal Chemical Extraction Process ("
TCEP
"), vacuum gas oil ("
VGO
"), and Base Oil processes.
Our Black Oil division collects and purchases used motor oil directly from third-party generators, aggregates used motor oil from an established network of local and regional collectors, and sells used motor oil to our customers for use as a feedstock or replacement fuel for industrial burners.  We operate a refining facility that uses our proprietary TCEP (which is currently not in operation) and we also utilize third-party processing facilities.  We also acquired our Marrero, Louisiana facility, which facility re-refines used motor oil and also produces VGO and our Myrtle Grove re-refining complex in Belle Chasse, Louisiana in May 2014 and at the same time we acquired Golden State Lubricant Works, LLC ("
Golden State
"), a blending and storage facility in Bakersfield, California which is no longer in operation as of the date of this report.
Our Refining and Marketing division aggregates and manages the re-refinement of used motor oil and other petroleum by-products and sells the re-refined products to end customers.
Our Recovery division includes a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams as well as metals which include transportation, dismantling, demolition, decommission and marine salvage services at industrial facilities throughout the Gulf Coast.

Black Oil Division
Our Black Oil division is engaged in operations across the entire used motor oil recycling value chain including collection, aggregation, transportation, storage, refinement, and sales of aggregated feedstock and re-refined products to end users. We collect and purchase used oil directly from generators such as oil change service stations, automotive repair shops, manufacturing facilities, petroleum refineries, and petrochemical manufacturing operations. We own a fleet of 35 collection vehicles, which routinely visit generators to collect and purchase used motor oil. We also aggregate used oil from a diverse network of approximately 50 suppliers who operate similar collection businesses to ours.
We manage the logistics of transport, storage and delivery of used oil to our customers. We own a fleet of 19 transportation trucks and more than 150 aboveground storage tanks with over 7.3 million gallons of storage capacity. These assets are used by both the Black Oil division and the Refining and Marketing division. In addition, we also utilize third parties for the transportation and storage of used oil feedstocks. Typically, we sell used oil to our customers in bulk to ensure efficient delivery by truck, rail, or barge. In many cases, we have contractual purchase and sale agreements with our suppliers and customers, respectively. We believe these contracts are beneficial to all parties involved because it ensures that a minimum volume is purchased from collectors and generators, a minimum volume is sold to our customers, and we are able to minimize our inventory risk by a spread between the costs to acquire used oil and the revenues received from the sale and delivery of used oil. We have historically used our proprietary TCEP technology to re-refine used oil into marine fuel cutterstock and a higher-value feedstock for further processing (we are currently utilizing TCEP to pre-treat our used motor oil feedstock prior to shipping them to our facility in Marrero, Louisiana; but have not operated our TCEP for the purpose of producing finished cutterstock since the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due to market conditions). In addition, at our Marrero facility we produce a Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) product that is sold to refineries as well as to the marine fuels market. At our Columbus, Ohio facility (Heartland Petroleum) we produce a base oil product that is sold to lubricant packagers and distributors.
Refining and Marketing Division
Our Refining and Marketing division is engaged in the aggregation of feedstock, re-refining it into higher value-end products, and selling these products to our customers, as well as related transportation and storage activities. We aggregate a diverse mix of feedstocks including used motor oil, petroleum distillates, transmix and other off-specification chemical products. These feedstock streams are purchased from pipeline operators, refineries, chemical processing facilities and third-party providers, and are also transferred from our Black Oil division. We have a toll-based processing agreement in place with KMTEX to re-refine feedstock streams, under our direction, into various end products that we specify. KMTEX uses industry standard processing technologies to re-refine our feedstocks into pygas, gasoline blendstock and marine fuel cutterstock. We sell all of our re-refined products directly to end-customers or to processing facilities for further refinement.
Recovery Division
The Recovery division is a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. The Recovery division also provides industrial dismantling, demolition, decommissioning, investment recovery and marine salvage services in industrial facilities. The Company (through this division) owns and operates a fleet of thirteen trucks and heavy equipment used for processing, shipping and handling of reusable process equipment and other scrap commodities.
Biomass Renewable Energy
We are also continuing to work on joint development commercial projects which focus on the separation of municipal solid waste into feedstocks for energy production. We are very selective in choosing opportunities that we believe will result in value for our shareholders. We can provide no assurance that the ongoing venture will successfully bring any projects to a point of financing or successful construction and operation.
Thermal Chemical Extraction Process
We own the intellectual property for our patented TCEP. TCEP is a technology which utilizes thermal and chemical dynamics to extract impurities from used oil which increases the value of the feedstock. We intend to continue to develop our TCEP technology and design with the goal of producing additional re-refined products, including lubricating base oil.
TCEP differs from conventional re-refining technologies, such as vacuum distillation and hydrotreatment, by relying more heavily on chemical processes to remove impurities rather than temperature and pressure. Therefore, the capital requirements to build a TCEP plant are typically much less than a traditional re-refinery because large feed heaters, vacuum distillation columns,
4
and a hydrotreating unit are not required.  Conventional re-refineries produce lubricating base oils or product grades slightly lower than base oil that can be used as industrial fuels or transportation fuel blendstocks.
We currently estimate the cost to construct a new, fully-functional, commercial facility using our TCEP technology, with annual processing capacity of between 25 and 50 million gallons at another location would be approximately $10 - $15 million, which could fluctuate based on throughput capacity. The facility infrastructure would require additional capitalized expenditures which would depend on the location and site specifics of the facility. We are currently utilizing TCEP to pre-treat our used motor oil feedstocks prior to shipping them to our facility in Marrero, Louisiana; but have not operated our TCEP for the purpose of producing finished cutterstock since the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due to market conditions. As such, we currently have no plans to construct additional TCEP facilities.

We generate substantially all of our revenue from the sale of five product categories. All of these products are commodities that are subject to various degrees of product quality and performance specifications.
Used Motor Oil
Used motor oil is a petroleum-based or synthetic lubricant that contains impurities such as dirt, sand, water, and chemicals.
Fuel Oil
Fuel Oil is a distillate fuel which is typically blended with lower quality fuel oils. The distillation of used oil and other petroleum by-products creates a fuel with low viscosity, as well as low sulfur, ash, and heavy metal content, making it an ideal blending agent.
Pygas
Pygas, or pyrolysis gasoline, is a product that can be blended with gasoline as an octane booster or that can be distilled and separated into its components, including benzene and other hydrocarbons.
Gasoline Blendstock
Naphthas and various distillate products used for blending or compounding into finished motor gasoline. These components can include reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) but exclude oxygenates (alcohols and ethers), butane, and pentanes plus.
Base Oil
An oil to which other oils or substances are added to produce a lubricant. Typically the main substance in lubricants and base oils is refined from crude oil.
Scrap Metal(s)
Consists of recoverable ferrous and non-ferrous recyclable metals from manufacturing and consumption.  Scrap metal can be recovered from pipes, barges, boats, building supplies, surplus equipment, tanks, and other items consisting of metal composition.  These materials are segregated, processed, cut-up and sent back to a steel mill for re-purposing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Description of Material Financial Line Items:
Revenues
We generate revenues from three existing operating divisions as follows:
BLACK OIL - Revenues from our Black Oil division are comprised primarily of product sales from our re-refineries and feedstock sales (used motor oil) which are purchased from generators of used motor oil such as oil change shops and garages, as well as a network of local and regional suppliers.  Volumes are consolidated for efficient delivery and then sold to third-party re-refiners and fuel oil blenders for the export market.  In addition, through used oil re-refining, we re-refine used oil into different commodity products.  The Houston, Texas TCEP facility finished product is then sold by barge as a fuel oil cutterstock.  Through the operations at our Marrero, Louisiana facility, we produce a Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) product from used oil re-refining which is then sold via barge to crude refineries to be utilized as an intermediate feedstock in the refining process.  Through the operations at our Columbus, Ohio facility we produce a base oil finished product which is then sold via truck or rail car to end users for blending, packaging and marketing of lubricants.
REFINING AND MARKETING - The Refining and Marketing division generates revenues relating to the sales of finished products. The Refining and Marketing division gathers hydrocarbon streams in the form of petroleum distillates, transmix and other chemical products that have become off-specification during the transportation or refining process. These feedstock streams are purchased from pipeline operators, refineries, chemical processing facilities and third-party providers, and then processed at a third-party facility under our direction. The end products are typically three distillate petroleum streams (gasoline blendstock, pygas and fuel oil cutterstock), which are sold to major oil companies or to large petroleum trading and blending companies. The end products are delivered by barge and truck to customers.
RECOVERY - The Recovery division is a generator solutions company for the proper recovery and management of hydrocarbon streams. This division also provides dismantling, demolition, decommission and marine salvage services at industrial facilities. We own and operate a fleet of trucks and other vehicles used for shipping and handling equipment and scrap materials.
Our revenues are affected by changes in various commodity prices including crude oil, natural gas, #6 oil and metals.
Cost of Revenues
BLACK OIL - Cost of revenues for our Black Oil division are comprised primarily of feedstock purchases from a network of providers. Other cost of revenues include processing costs, transportation costs, purchasing and receiving costs, analytical assessments, brokerage fees and commissions, and surveying and storage costs.
REFINING AND MARKETING - The Refining and Marketing division incurs cost of revenues relating to the purchase of feedstock, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection and processing of the feedstock into gasoline blendstock, pygas and fuel oil cutter by a third party. Cost of revenues also includes broker's fees, inspection and transportation costs.
RECOVERY - The Recovery division incurs cost of revenues relating to the purchase of hydrocarbon products, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection, demolition and transporting of metals and other salvage and materials.  Cost of revenues also includes broker's fees, inspection and transportation costs.
Our cost of revenues are affected by changes in various commodity indices, including crude oil, natural gas, #6 oil and metals. For example, if the price for crude oil increases, the cost of solvent additives used in the production of blended oil products, and fuel cost for transportation cost from third party providers will generally increase. Similarly, if the price of crude oil falls, these costs may also decline.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other employee-related benefits for executive, administrative, legal, financial, and information technology personnel, as well as outsourced and professional services, rent, utilities, and related expenses at our headquarters, as well as certain taxes.
7
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Our depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily related to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets acquired in connection with the Vertex Holdings, L.P. (formerly Vertex Energy, L.P.), a Texas limited partnership ("
Holdings
"), E-Source Holdings, LLC ("
E-Source
"), Omega Refining, LLC's ("

Our revenues and cost of revenues are significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices; increases in commodity prices typically result in increases in revenue and cost of revenues. Our gross profit is to a large extent a function of the market discount we are able to obtain in purchasing feedstock, as well as how efficiently management conducts operations.
Total revenues increased by 14% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
, due primarily to higher commodity prices, a slight increase in volumes, and recent acquisitions during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
. Total volume increased 1% during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.  Volumes were impacted as a result of turnarounds at each of our facilities during the period, as well as operational delays getting feedstock to our facilities as a result of weather challenges in the Gulf of Mexico during the period.  Gross profit decreased by 32% for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2016
. The majority of this decrease was the result of the operational expenses incurred related to the turnarounds during the period.  In our collection division we have successfully maintained a charge for services program. As a result of this program we currently have customers who are charged for each service performed and others who are charged a monthly fee for as many services performed in
9
that month.  Although the charges for services are being maintained, with the increase in commodity prices we have had to reduce the amounts we were charging.
Additionally, our per barrel margin decreased 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, relative to the three months ended
September 30, 2016
.  This decrease was a result of increased operational costs related to the Marrero and Heartland facilities in addition to compressed product spreads related to increases in our feedstock and product values during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period during
2016
. The 26% increase in cost of revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2016
is mainly a result of a slight increase in commodity prices and overhead operating expenses during the period.
Each of our segments' income (loss) from operations during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
and

Our Black Oil division's volume decreased approximately 4% during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.  This decrease was due to the fewer days of operations at our plants and throughout our collection  network, due to the turnarounds described above,  which resulted in lower volumes managed through our facilities.  Volumes collected through our H&H Oil and Heartland collection facilities increased 30% during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.  One of our key initiatives continues to be a focus on growing our own volumes of collected material and displacing the third party oil processed in our facilities.
Overall volumes of product sold increased 1% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
versus the same period in
2016
. This is important for our business as it illustrates our reach into the market and expansion of overall market share.
10
In addition, commodity prices increased approximately 10% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in 2016. For example, the average posting (U.S. Gulfcoast Residual Fuel No. 6 3%) for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
increased $11.52 per barrel from a three month average of $34.86 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $46.38 per barrel for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
.
Overall volume for the Refining and Marketing division increased 21% during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
as compared to the same period in
2016
. This division experienced a decrease in production of 4% for its gasoline blendstock for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
.  Our fuel oil cutter volumes decreased 29% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
. Our pygas volumes increased 59% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
as compared to the same period in
2016
. These were a result of increases in volumes of feed to process.
Our Recovery division includes the business operations of Vertex Recovery Management. Revenues for this division increased 102% as a result of higher commodity prices and, higher volumes, which was offset by the decline of project based work related to our metals business during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in
2016
. Volumes of petroleum products acquired in our Recovery business were up 183% during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period during
2016
.  This division through E-Source, periodically participates in project work that is not ongoing thus we expect to see fluctuations in revenue and gross profit from this division from period to period.
Overall gross profit decreased
32%
and our margin per barrel decreased approximately 32% for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
. This decrease was largely a result of lower volumes processed through our black oil division along with the compression in spread related to higher feedstock costs and increased operational expenses during the quarter.
We had selling, general, and administrative expenses of $
5,690,761
for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to $
5,025,221
of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the prior year's period, an increase of $
665,540
or
13%
from the prior period. This increase is primarily due to the increases in our selling, general and administrative expenses associated with new acquisitions  and assets at the end of 2016 and during 2017.
We had a loss from operations of $
3,309,022
for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to a loss from operations of $
586,024
for the three months ended September 30,
2016
, an increase of $
2,722,998
or
465%
from the prior year's three-month period.  The increase was due to an increase in costs of revenues due to market conditions, commodity prices,an increase during the period in certain operational expenses and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses generated by the new acquisitions.
We also had interest expense of $
733,459
for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to interest expense of $
399,545
for the three months ended September 30,
2016
, an increase in interest expense of $
333,914
or
84%
from the prior period due to more debt outstanding and our new financing entered into with a new lender at a higher interest rate.
We had a gain on the sale of assets of $
25,693
for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to a loss on the sale of assets of  $
68,799
during the three months ended September 30,
2016
. The gain was a result of the sale of some of E-source's assets.
We had a $
1,371,461
gain on change in value of derivative liability for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, in connection with certain warrants granted in June 2015 and May 2016, as described in greater detail in "
Note 9. Preferred Stock and Detachable Warrants
" to the unaudited financial statements included herein under "
Part I
"-"
Item 1 Financial Statements
" compared to a gain on change in the value of our derivative liability of $
1,065,217
in the prior year's period. This change was mainly due to fluctuation in the market price of our common stock.
We had a loss of $
305,570
on futures contracts for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to a loss on futures contracts of $
90,061
for the three months ended September 30,
2016
.  We periodically use futures contracts to offset the effects of the market value changes in our hedged items, as well as to avoid significant volatility that might arise due to market exposure. We had no open contracts at the end of quarter.
We had net loss of
$2,949,378
for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to a net loss of
$77,722
for the three months ended September 30,
2016
, an increase in net loss of
$2,871,656
or
3,695%
from the prior period for the reasons described above.
During the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, the processing costs for our Refining and Marketing division located at KMTEX were $578,695.  In addition, we have provided the results of operations for this segment of our business below during the same three month period.

Our revenues and cost of revenues are significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices; increases in commodity prices typically result in increases in revenue and cost of revenues. Our gross profit is to a large extent a function of the market discount we are able to obtain in purchasing feedstock, as well as how efficiently management conducts operations.
Total revenues increased by
55%
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
, due primarily to higher commodity prices and volumes, and recent acquisitions during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the prior period. Total volume increased 19% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.  Our business was impacted as a result of turnarounds at each of our facilities during the period, as well as operational delays getting feedstock to our facilities due to weather challenges in the Gulf of Mexico during the period.  Gross profit increased by
23%
for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2016
. The majority of this increase was the result of the adjustments in prices of feedstock during the fourth quarter of 2016, which continued into the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which resulted in a strong improvement in gross profit during this period.  In our collection division we successfully maintained our charge for services program.  As a result of this program we currently have customers who are charged for each service performed and others who are charged a monthly fee for as many services performed in that month. Due to the combination of our fee structure change along with our increased third party supply we were able to make progress in lowering our cost of feedstock during the period.
Additionally, our per barrel margin increased 3% relative to the nine months ended
September 30, 2016
.  This increase was a result of decreased operational costs related to the Marrero and Heartland facilities in addition to improved margins in our feedstock and product values during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period during
2016
, as a result of the charges implemented through our collections division.  The 62% increase in cost of revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2016
, is mainly a result of a slight increase in commodity prices and increases in volumes along with the charges implemented through our collections.

Our Black Oil division's volume increased approximately 16% during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
.  This increase was due to the increased amount of volume managed through our facilities.  Volumes collected through our H&H Oil and Heartland collection facilities increased 30% during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
.  One of our key initiatives continues to be a focus on growing our own volumes of collected material and displacing the third party oil processed in our facilities.
Overall volumes of product sold increased 19% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, versus the same period in
2016
. This is important for our business as it illustrates our reach into the market and expansion of overall market share.
In addition, commodity prices increased approximately 34% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in 2016. For example, the average posting (U.S. Gulfcoast Residual Fuel No. 6 3%) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, increased $15.84 per barrel from a nine month average of $29.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, to $45.10 per barrel for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
.
We experienced no change in the volume of our TCEP refined product during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Our TCEP technology was not operated to produce finished product during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
or 2016, due to market conditions. The TCEP process is currently being utilized as a pre-treatment for the Used Motor Oil being purchased in the Texas Market and then being sent to our Marrero, Louisiana facility. We currently do not have an estimate as to when or if we may utilize this technology for the production of finished cutterstock in the future.
Overall volume for the Refining and Marketing division increased 28% during the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
as compared to the same period in
2016
. This division experienced a decrease in production of 29% for its gasoline blendstock for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
.  Our fuel oil cutter volumes decreased 10% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
. Our pygas volumes increased 70% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
as compared to the same period in
2016
. These changes were a result of increases in volumes of feedstock to process.
Our Recovery division includes the business operations of Vertex Recovery Management. Revenues for this division increased 169% as a result of higher commodity prices and, higher volumes, which was offset by the decline of project based work related to our metals business during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in
2016
. Volumes of petroleum products acquired, in our Recovery business were up 36% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period during
2016
.  This division through E-Source, periodically participates in project work that is not ongoing thus we expect to see fluctuations in revenue and gross profit from this division from period to period.
Overall gross profit increased
23%
and our margin per barrel increased approximately 3% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in
2016
. This increase was largely a result of increased volumes along with the increase in charges for oil in our Black Oil collection division.

We saw a stable position during the first nine months of
2017
, in each of the benchmark commodities we track compared to the same period in
2016
.
Our margins are a function of the difference between what we are able to pay for raw materials and the market prices for the range of products produced. The various petroleum products produced are typically a function of crude oil indices and are quoted on multiple exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange ("
NYMEX
"). These prices are determined by a global market and can be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to supply/demand, weather, politics, and global/regional inventory levels.  As such, we cannot provide any assurances regarding results of operations for any future periods, as numerous  factors outside of our control affect the prices paid for raw materials and the prices (for the most part keyed to the NYMEX) that can be charged for such products. Additionally, for the near term, results of operations will be subject to further uncertainty, as the global markets and exchanges, including the NYMEX, continue to experience volatility.
As our competitors bring new technologies to the marketplace, which will likely enable them to obtain higher values for the finished products created through their technologies from purchased black oil feedstock, we anticipate that they will be able to pay more for feedstock due to the additional value received from their finished product (i.e., as their margins increase, they are able to increase the prices they are willing to pay for feedstock). If we are not able to continue to refine and improve our technologies and gain efficiencies in our technologies, we could be negatively impacted by the ability of our competitors to bring new processes to market which compete with our processes, as well as their ability to outbid us for feedstock supplies.
If we are unable to effectively compete with additional technologies brought to market by our competitors, our finished products could be worth less and if our competitors are willing to pay more for feedstock than we are, they could drive up prices, which would cause our revenues to decrease (as described above, our revenues track the spread between the prices we purchase feedstock for and the prices we can sell finished product at), and cause our cost of sales to increase, respectively. Additionally, if we are forced to pay more for feedstock, our cash flows will be negatively impacted and our margins will decrease.
We had selling, general, and administrative expenses of $
16,280,495
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to $
15,285,142
of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the prior year period, an increase of $
995,353
or
7%
. This increase is primarily due to the additional selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by new business lines and acquisitions.
We had a loss from operations of $
7,648,606
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to a loss from operations of $
8,971,662
for the nine months ended September 30,
2016
, a decrease of $
1,323,056
or
15%
from the prior year's nine-month period.  The decrease was mainly due to an increase in overall gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
We had interest expense of $
2,688,394
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to interest expense of $
2,721,056
for the nine months ended September 30,
2016
, a decrease in interest expense of $
32,662
or
1%
from the prior period due to the payment of $16.1 million toward the Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Banks related to the Bango Sale during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, and the termination of the debt facilities with Goldman Sachs, Fox and Midcap that were paid off at the beginning of the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We also entered into a new financing with a new lender at a higher interest rate which partially offset the decrease in interest expense.
We had a (loss) and a gain, respectively,  on the sale of assets of ($
13,806
) and $
9,633,034
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively, mainly related to the purchase and sale of the Bango facility in January 2016.
15
We had a $
2,676,902
gain on change in value of derivative liability for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, in connection with certain warrants granted in June 2015 and May 2016, as described in greater detail in "
Note 9. Preferred Stock and Detachable Warrants
" to the unaudited financial statements included herein under "
Part I
"-"
Item 1 Financial Statements
" compared to a gain on change in the value of our derivative liability of $
724,185
in the prior year's period. This change was mainly due to a fluctuation in the market price of our common stock.
We had a loss of $
285,000
on futures contracts for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
compared to a loss on futures contracts of $
351,820
for the nine months ended September 30,
2016
.  We periodically use futures contracts to offset the effects of the market value changes in our hedged items, as well as to avoid significant volatility that might arise due to market exposure. We had no open contracts at the end of the quarter.
We had no income tax benefit or expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to an income tax benefit of $117,646 for the nine months ended September 30,
2016
.  For tax reporting purposes, we have net operating losses ("NOLs") of approximately $51.8 million as of
September 30, 2017
, that are available to reduce future taxable income. In determining the carrying value of our net deferred tax asset, the Company considered all negative and positive evidence. The Company has incurred a cumulative pre-tax loss of approximately $7.9 million from January 1, 2017 through
September 30, 2017
. As a result, the Company created a full valuation allowance of 100% to offset the entire balances of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.
We had net loss of $
7,953,156
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, compared to a net loss of $
1,565,221
for the nine months ended September 30,
2016
, an increase in net loss of $
6,387,935
or
408%
from the prior period for the reasons described above.
During the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, the processing costs for our Refining and Marketing division located at KMTEX were $1,829,576.  In addition, we have provided the results of operations for this segment of our business below during the same nine month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The success of our current business operations has become dependent on repairs and maintenance to our facilities and our ability to make routine capital expenditures, as well as our ability to manage our margins which are a function of the difference between what we are able to pay or charge for raw materials and the market prices for the range of products produced. We also must maintain relationships with feedstock suppliers and end-product customers, and operate with efficient management of overhead costs. Through these relationships, we have historically been able to achieve volume discounts in the procurement of our feedstock, thereby increasing the margins of our segments' operations. The resulting operating cash flow is crucial to the viability and growth of our existing business lines.
We had total assets of
$82,285,706
as of
September 30, 2017
, compared to
$86,985,968
at December 31,
2016
. The decrease was mainly due to depreciation and amortization expense, and cash used in operations.
We had total current liabilities of $
16,226,447
as of
September 30, 2017
, compared to $
22,453,644
at December 31,
2016
. This decrease was largely due to the approximate $10.5 million pay down of the Goldman Sachs and Midcap debt as a result of the February 1, 2017 refinancing on a long-term basis.
We had total liabilities of $
30,902,405
as of
September 30, 2017
, including long-term debt of $
12,750,188
, which included $
966,847
related to E-Source debt.
We had working capital of $
1,120,492
as of
September 30, 2017
, compared to a working capital deficit of $
1,268,192
as of December 31,
2016
. The improvement in working capital from December 31,
2016
to
September 30, 2017
, is due to the reasons described above.
Our future operating cash flows will vary based on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including commodity prices, the cost of recovered oil, and the ability to turn our inventory. Other factors that have affected and are expected to continue to affect earnings and cash flow are transportation, processing, and storage costs. Over the long term, our operating cash flows will also be impacted by our ability to effectively manage our administrative and operating costs. Additionally, we may incur capital expenditures related to new TCEP facilities in the future, in the event oil prices increase to a point necessary to make TCEP economically feasible and we determine, funding permitted, to construct additional TCEP facilities.
The Company financed insurance premiums through various financial institutions bearing interest rates from 4.00% to 4.52%. All of such premium finance agreements have maturities of less than one year and have a balance of $

Credit and Guaranty Agreement and Revolving Credit Facility with Encina Business Credit, LLC
Effective February 1, 2017, we, Vertex Operating, and substantially all of  our other operating subsidiaries, other than E-Source, entered into a Credit Agreement (the "
EBC Credit Agreemen
t") with Encina Business Credit, LLC as agent (the "
Agent
" or "
EBC
") and Encina Business Credit SPV, LLC and CrowdOut Capital LLC as lenders thereunder (the "
EBC Lenders
"). Pursuant to the EBC Credit Agreement, and the terms thereof, the EBC Lenders agreed to loan us up to $20 million, provided that the amount outstanding under the EBC Credit Agreement at any time cannot exceed 50% of the value of the operating plant facilities and related machinery and equipment owned by us (not including E-Source).
A total of $12 million was loaned to us by the EBC Lenders on February 1, 2017 pursuant to the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement, and a total of an additional $8 million in funding may be requested by us from the EBC Lenders, from time to time,
20
subject to the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement, and the conditions for lending set forth therein, subject to a minimum of $500,000, or a multiple of $100,000 above such amount, being requested at any time.
Amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement bear interest at 12%, 13% or 14% per annum, based on the ratio of (a) (i) consolidated EBITDA for such applicable period minus (ii) capital expenditures made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of income taxes paid in cash during such period (but not less than zero) to (b) the sum of (i) debt service charges plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all dividend or other distributions paid on capital stock in cash for the most recently completed 12 month period (which ratio falls into one of the three following tiers: less than 1 to 1; from 1 to 1 to less than 1.45 to 1; or equal to or greater than 1.45 to 1, which together with the value below, determines which interest rate is applicable) and average availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below) (which falls into two tiers: less than $2.5 million and greater than or equal to $2.5 million, which together with the calculation above, determines which interest rate is applicable), as described in greater detail in the EBC Credit Agreement (increasing by 2% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default). Interest on amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement is payable by us in arrears, on the first business day of each month, beginning on the first business day of the first full month following the closing, together with required $75,000 monthly principal repayments. We also have the right to make voluntary repayments of the amount owed under the EBC Credit Agreement in amounts equal to or greater than $100,000, from time to time.
The EBC Credit Agreement terminates on February 1, 2020, on which date we are required to repay the outstanding balance owed thereunder and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
We agreed to pay the agent certain fees in connection with the EBC Credit Agreement, including a fee equal to 0.5% of a portion of the undrawn portion of the EBC Credit Agreement per annum (equal to $30,000 at closing) and a termination fee, in the event the EBC Credit Agreement terminates prior to the maturity date thereof (or we reduce the amount available for loans thereunder), equal to 2% of the amount repaid (or the reduction in the amount available under the EBC Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the above, during the period beginning six months prior to the maturity date and ending on the maturity date, no early termination fee is due if we provide prior written notice to the agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable termination date.
The amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries, other than E-Source, pursuant to a Guaranty and Security Agreement (the "
Guaranty and Security Agreement
"), whereby we also pledged substantially all of our assets and all of the securities of our subsidiaries (other than E-Source) as collateral securing the amount due under the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement. We also provided EBC mortgages on our Marrero, Louisiana, and Columbus, Ohio facilities to secure the repayment of outstanding amounts and agreed to provide mortgages on certain other real property to be delivered post-closing. The post-closing mortgage properties provided were in Baytown, Pflugerville and Corpus Christi, Texas.
We agreed to use the proceeds raised under the EBC Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and to refinance the Existing Credit Obligations (as defined below), and subject to the terms of the EBC Credit Agreement, to finance permitted acquisitions.
The EBC Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and requirements for the Company to indemnify the EBC Lenders and their affiliates. The EBC Credit Agreement also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding upon the Company, including, prohibiting us from undertaking acquisitions or dispositions unless they meet the criteria set forth in the EBC Credit Agreement, not incurring any capital expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $3 million in any fiscal year that the EBC Credit Agreement is in place, and requiring us to maintain at least $2.5 million of average borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below) in any 30 day period.
We are required to repay the amounts borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement in the event we complete any disposition of assets or securities, receive any funds in connection with any insurance proceeds, and/or upon the occurrence of certain other events, subject to certain exceptions described in the EBC Credit Agreement. Additionally, commencing with the first full fiscal month after which the initial principal amount of the loans advanced under the EBC Credit Agreement is equal to or greater than $17 million and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, we are required to prepay the amount due under the EBC Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 50% of our cash flow, less principal payments (including voluntary repayments) made under the EBC Credit Agreement, approved capital expenditures and certain other approved expenses.
The EBC Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of a similar nature and size as the EBC Credit Agreement, including if an event of default occurs under any agreement evidencing $500,000 or more of indebtedness of the Company; we fail to make any payment when due under any material agreement; subject to certain exceptions, any judgment is entered against the Company in an amount exceeding $500,000; and also provides that an event of default occurs if a change in control of the Company occurs, which includes if (a) Benjamin P. Cowart, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the
21
Board and largest shareholder and Chris Carlson, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, cease to own and control legally and beneficially, collectively, either directly or indirectly, equity securities in Vertex Energy, Inc., representing more than 15% of the combined voting power of all securities entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent on a fully-diluted basis, (b) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group of securities representing more than 30% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding securities of Vertex Energy, Inc., or (c) during any period of 12 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company cease to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body (collectively "
Events of Default
"). An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement (defined below), is also an event of default under the EBC Credit Agreement.
Effective February 1, 2017, we, Vertex Operating and substantially all of our operating subsidiaries, other than E-Source, entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "
Revolving Credit Agreement
") with Encina Business Credit SPV, LLC as lender ("
Encina
") and EBC as the administrative agent. Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, and the terms thereof, Encina agreed to loan us, on a revolving basis, up to $10 million, subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and certain lending ratios set forth therein, which provide that the amount outstanding thereunder cannot exceed an amount equal to the total of (a) the lesser of (A) the value (as calculated in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of our inventory which are raw materials or finished goods that are merchantable and readily saleable to the public in the ordinary course of our business ("
EBC Eligible Inventory
"), net of certain inventory reserves, multiplied by 85% of the appraised value of EBC Eligible Inventory, or (B) the value (as calculated in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of EBC Eligible Inventory, net of certain inventory reserves, multiplied by 65%, subject to a ceiling of $4 million, plus (b) the face amount of certain accounts receivables (net of certain reserves applicable thereto) multiplied by 85% (subject to adjustment as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement); minus (c) the then-current amount of certain reserves that the agent may determine necessary for the Company to maintain.
Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, at the one month LIBOR interest rate then in effect, subject to a floor of 0.25% (which interest rate is currently approximately 1.23% per annum), plus an additional 6.50% per annum (increasing by 2% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default), provided that under certain circumstances amounts borrowed bear interest at the higher of (a) the "prime rate"; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%; and (c) the LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.00%. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement is payable by us in arrears, on the first business day of each month, beginning on the first business day of the first full month following the closing.
The Revolving Credit Agreement terminates on February 1, 2020, on which date we are required to repay the outstanding balance owed thereunder and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
We agreed to pay the agent certain fees in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, including a commitment fee equal to 0.5% per annum, multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than the $10 million aggregate commitment thereunder during the immediately preceding quarter, payable monthly in arrears and a termination fee, in the event the Revolving Credit Agreement terminates prior to the maturity date thereof (or we reduce the amount available for loans thereunder), equal to 2% of the aggregate commitment amount (or the reduction in such amount) if terminated prior to the one year anniversary of our entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement, 1% of the aggregate commitment amount (or reduction in such amount) if terminated between the one year anniversary and two year anniversary of our entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement and 0.5% of the aggregate commitment amount (or reduction in such amount) if terminated after the two year anniversary of our entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, during the period beginning six months prior to the maturity date and ending on the maturity date, no early termination fee is due if we provide prior written notice to the agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable termination date.
We can request funds from time to time under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to us requesting a minimum of $500,000 ($100,000 upon certain events), or a multiple of $100,000 above such amount.
The amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries other than E-Source pursuant to a separate Guaranty and Security Agreement, similar to the EBC Credit Agreement, described in greater detail above. We also provided Encina mortgages on our Marrero, Louisiana, and Columbus, Ohio facilities to secure the repayment of outstanding amounts.
22
We agreed to use the proceeds raised under the Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and to refinance the Existing Credit Obligations (as defined below).
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and requirements for the Company to indemnify Encina and its affiliates. The Revolving Credit Agreement also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding upon the Company, including, prohibiting us from undertaking acquisitions or dispositions unless they meet the criteria set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement, not incurring any capital expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $3 million in any fiscal year that the Revolving Credit Agreement is in place, and requiring us to maintain at least $2.5 million of average borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement in any 30 day period.
We are required to repay the amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement in the event we complete any disposition of assets or securities, receive any funds in connection with any insurance proceeds, and/or in certain other events, subject to certain exceptions described in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The Revolving Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of a similar nature and size as the Revolving Credit Agreement, including the same Events of Default as are described above under the description of the EBC Credit Agreement.
A total of $11,282,537 of the amount initially borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement was used to repay amounts owed under (a) the Restated Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (described below), (b) our loan agreement with MidCap (described below); and (c) the Fox Note (defined below under "
Fox Note
")(collectively, "
Existing Credit Obligations
"), all of which have been repaid in full as of the date of this filing. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of such obligations, the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement and Midcap Loan Agreement, and our right to borrow funds thereunder were terminated.
Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA
On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "
Goldman Credit Agreement
") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Pursuant to the agreement, Goldman Sachs Bank USA loaned the Company $40,000,000 in the form of a term loan. As set forth in the Goldman Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to select whether loans made under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate in effect, (ii) the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System plus ½ of 1%, (iii) the sum of (A) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (B) 1%, and (iv) 4.5% per annum; or (b) the greater of (i) 1.50% and (ii) the applicable ICE Benchmark Administration Limited interest rate, divided by (x) one minus, (y) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Interest on the Goldman Credit Agreement is payable monthly in arrears.
The Goldman Sachs Bank USA financing arrangement is secured by all of the assets of the Company.
On January 29, 2016, we, Vertex Operating, certain of our other subsidiaries, Lender and Agent entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "
Restated Goldman Credit Agreement
"), which amended and restated the Goldman Credit Agreement. The Restated Goldman Credit Agreement changed the Goldman Credit Agreement to an $8.9 million multi-draw term loan credit facility (of which approximately $6.4 million was outstanding and $2.5 million was available to be drawn pursuant to the terms of the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement on substantially similar terms as the then outstanding amounts owed to the Lender); modified the Credit Agreement to adjust certain EBITDA calculations in connection with the purchase of Bango Oil and the sale of the Bango Plant as described above; provided for approval for us to exercise the Purchase Option, enter into and effect the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Subscription Agreement, and the Sale Agreement, and allow for the issuance of the Fox Note (described below) and the Mortgage securing the amount owed thereunder; confirmed that we were required to make payments of $800,000 per quarter from June 30, 2016 through maturity (May 2, 2019); provided us a moratorium on the prepayment of amounts owed under the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement as a result of various financial ratios we were required to meet through December 31, 2016; provided for us to retain any business interruption insurance proceeds received in connection with the Bango Plant; provided for us to pay $16 million received at closing from the sale of the Bango Assets, all amounts released from escrow and any other cash proceeds in excess of $500,000 received from the Sale Agreement after closing to the Lender as prepayment of amounts due under the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement; allowed us the right to make certain permitted acquisitions moving forward, without further consent of the Lender, provided that among other requirements, such acquisitions are in the same business or line of business as the Company, that such acquired businesses have generated consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters preceding such acquisition in excess of capital expenditures for such period (taking into account adjustments acceptable to the Agent for synergies expected to be achieved within the 90 days following the closing of such acquisition), and that the funding for such acquisition comes from certain limited sources set forth in greater detail in the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement; adjusted certain fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios we were required to meet on a quarterly basis from September 30, 2016 to
23
maturity; required us to maintain at least $2 million of liquidity at all times; provided that events of default under the Goldman Credit Agreement include events of default under the Fox Note; and made various other updates and changes to take into account transactions which had occurred through the date of such agreement, and to remove expired and non-material terms of the prior Credit Agreement.
Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement
On May 9, 2016, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("
Amendment No. 1
"), which amended the Restated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, we, Vertex Operating, substantially all of our other wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Lender and the Agent, agreed to amend the Restated Credit Agreement to (a) change the threshold constituting a change of control under the Restated Credit Agreement, from any time that Benjamin P. Cowart, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and largest stockholder, ceases to beneficially own and control at least 20% on a fully diluted basis of the economic and voting interests of our capital stock ("
Fully-Diluted Capital Stock
"), to any time that Mr. Cowart beneficially owns less than 10% of our Fully-Diluted Capital Stock; (b) extend the date that we are required to meet certain fixed charge coverage ratios from the quarter ending September 30, 2016, to the quarter ending March 31, 2017; (c) adjust the calculation of leverage ratio described in the Restated Credit Agreement; (d) allow for the May 2016 Offering (described below) and the required payment of $800,000 to the Lender in connection with such Offering (representing the payment originally due June 30, 2016); (e) provide that the financial covenants relating to fixed charge ratios and leverage ratios would not be tested for the quarters ending September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016; (f) amend the required timing for certain other post-closing events to occur under the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement; and (g) include a release whereby we (and substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) released the Investor and Agent for any claims which we had, or could have had, as of the date the parties entered into Amendment No. 1.
On February 1, 2017, the amount borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement was used to repay amounts owed under the Restated Goldman Credit Agreement, by and among us, the other financial institutions party thereto as lenders, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent for the lenders, which have been repaid in full as of the date of this filing. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of such obligations, the Goldman Credit Agreement and, our right to borrow funds thereunder were terminated.
MidCap Loan Agreement
Effective March 27, 2015, the Company, Vertex Operating and all of the Company's other subsidiaries other than E-Source and Golden State, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Business Credit LLC ("
MidCap
" and the "
MidCap Loan Agreement
"). Pursuant to the MidCap Loan Agreement, MidCap agreed to loan us up to the lesser of (i) $7 million; and (ii) 85% of the amount of accounts receivable due to us which meet certain requirements set forth in the MidCap Loan Agreement ("
Qualified Accounts
"), plus the lesser of (y) $3 million and (z) 50% of the cost or market value, whichever is lower, of our raw material and finished goods which have not yet been sold, subject to the terms and conditions of the MidCap Loan Agreement ("
Eligible Inventory
"), minus any amount which MidCap may require from time to time in order to over secure amounts owed to MidCap under the MidCap Loan Agreement, as long as no event of default has occurred or is continuing under the terms of the MidCap Loan Agreement. The requirement of MidCap to make loans under the MidCap Loan Agreement is subject to certain standard conditions and requirements.
We were required to make immediate pre-payments of outstanding principal owed under the MidCap Note in the amount certain thresholds are exceeded as set forth in the MidCap Loan Agreement. We were also required to provide MidCap certain monthly reports and accountings.
We agreed to pay MidCap certain fees in connection with the MidCap Loan Agreement including (a) a non-refundable fee equal to 0.75% of the $7 million credit limit ($52,500), which was due upon our entry into the MidCap Loan Agreement, and is due on each anniversary thereafter; (b) reimbursement for MidCap's audit fees incurred from time to time; a collateral monitoring charge of 0.20% of the greater of the average outstanding balance of the MidCap Note at the end of each month or $3 million; (c) a fee equal to 0.75% of the difference between the credit limit of $7 million and the greater of (i) the amount actually borrowed, and (ii) $3 million, as calculated in the MidCap Loan Agreement, payable monthly in arrears and added to the balance of the MidCap Note; and (d) a one-time placement fee equal to 0.50% of the $7 million credit limit which we paid upon our entry into the MidCap Loan Agreement.
The MidCap Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants for facilities of similar nature and size as the MidCap Loan Agreement, and requirements for the Company to indemnify MidCap for certain losses. The MidCap Loan Agreement also includes various covenants (positive and negative), binding the Company and its subsidiaries, including not permitting the availability for loans under the MidCap Loan Agreement to ever be less than 10% of the credit limit ($700,000); prohibiting us from creating liens on any collateral pledged under the MidCap Loan Agreement, subject to certain exceptions; and prohibiting us from paying any dividends on capital stock, advancing any money to any person, guarantying any debt, creating any indebtedness, and entering into any transactions with affiliates on terms more favorable than those of an arms-length third party transaction.
24
The MidCap Loan Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of a similar nature and size as the MidCap Loan Agreement.
The MidCap Loan Agreement continues in effect until the second anniversary of the parties' entry into the Agreement, subject to the right of the parties, via mutual agreement, to extend such rights and agreement, provided that we have the right to terminate the MidCap Loan Agreement at any time with 60 days prior written notice. In the event we desire to terminate the MidCap Loan Agreement, we were required to pay MidCap a termination fee of $70,000, subject to certain exceptions in the MidCap Loan Agreement. We also have the right to terminate the agreement without providing 60 days' prior notice as long as we pay MidCap the equivalent amount of interest which would have been due (as calculated in the MidCap Loan Agreement) for such 60 day period, along with the $70,000 termination fee. In the event the MidCap Loan Agreement is terminated by MidCap upon the occurrence of an event of default, we were required to pay MidCap a fee of $70,000 upon such termination.
We also entered into a Revolving Note (the "
MidCap Note
") to evidence amounts borrowed from MidCap from time to time under the MidCap Loan Agreement. Interest on the MidCap Note accrues at a fluctuating rate equal to the aggregate of: (x) the prime rate then effect, and (y) 1.75% per annum, or at such other rate mutually agreed on from time to time by the parties, based upon the greater of (i) any balance owing under the MidCap Note at the close of each day; or (ii) a minimum assumed average daily loan balance of $3 million. Interest is payable in arrears, on the first day of each month that amounts are outstanding under the MidCap Note.
We and each of our subsidiaries subject to the MidCap Loan Agreement are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of amounts owed under the MidCap Note. Pursuant to the MidCap Loan Agreement, we granted MidCap a security interest in substantially all of our assets and provided MidCap junior mortgages on all real estate which we own, subject to the first priority mortgages of the Lender. Finally, MidCap and the Lender entered into an Intercreditor Agreement, which governs which of the lenders have first and second priority security interests over our assets which are pledged as collateral in order to secure repayment of the amounts owed pursuant to the Goldman Credit Agreement and MidCap Loan Agreement.
On November 9, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the "
Midcap First Amendment
"), which amended the Midcap Loan Agreement with Midcap. The Midcap First Amendment amended the Midcap Loan Agreement to add Vertex OH as a party thereto; remove Vertex OH's requirement to enter into a negative pledge agreement with Midcap; created separate maximum borrowing base credit limits for Vertex OH's accounts and customers ($100,000 maximum per customer, subject to certain exceptions); excluded customers who are based outside of the U.S. or Canada from the credit limits if backed by a bank letter of credit or covered by a foreign receivables insurance policy; removed inventory of Vertex OH from the definition of Eligible Inventory under the Midcap Loan Agreement; and provided that additional affiliates of the Company may become party to the Midcap Loan Agreement by executing an assumption agreement and revolving note in favor of Midcap.
On February 1, 2017, the amount borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement was used to repay amounts owed under the MidCap Loan Agreement, which have been repaid in full as of the date of this filing. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of such obligations, the Midcap Loan Agreement, and our right to borrow funds thereunder were terminated.
25
Fox Note
On January 29, 2016, Vertex OH, borrowed $5.15 million from Fox Encore and provided a Promissory Note to Fox Encore to reflect such borrowed funds (the "
Fox Note
"). The Fox Note bears interest at 10% percent per annum (15% upon the occurrence of an event of default), payable monthly in arrears beginning on February 29, 2016. The principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Fox Note is due on the earlier of (a) July 31, 2016 (as may be extended by Vertex OH as discussed below, the "
Maturity Date
"), or (b) upon acceleration of the Fox Note during the existence of an event of default as discussed therein. Provided that no event of default is then existing on the Fox Note or under any other loan document associated therewith, and certain other requirements as described in the Fox Note are met, Vertex OH has the right to three (3) extension options (each, an "
Extension Option
") pursuant to which Vertex OH may extend the Maturity Date for six (6) months each. The first extension, which was exercised as of December 31, 2016, extended the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until January 31, 2017, the second extension will extend the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until July 31, 2017, and the third extension will extend the Maturity Date of the Fox Note until January 29, 2018. Upon exercising an Extension Option, Vertex OH is required to pay Fox Encore an extension fee equal to 3% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Fox Note, which amount is separate from, and is not applied toward, the outstanding indebtedness owed under the Fox Note; provided, however, that if Vertex OH elects to exercise the Extension Option to extend the Maturity Date to January 31, 2017, (which had been exercised as of December 31, 2016), the 3% fee for such extension is not to be paid in cash but is instead added to the outstanding principal balance of the Fox Note. The Fox Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty, provided that if repaid in full by July 31, 2016, the amount to be repaid was to be decreased by $150,000. The Fox Note is secured by the Mortgage. The Fox Note includes certain standard and customary financial reporting requirements, notice requirements, indemnification requirements, covenants and events of default.
On February 1, 2017, the amount borrowed under the EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement was used to repay amounts owed under the Fox Note, which has been repaid in full as of the date of this filing.
Texas Citizens Bank Loan Agreement
On January 7, 2015, E-Source entered into a loan agreement with Texas Citizens Bank to consolidate various smaller debt obligations. The loan Agreement provides a term note in the amount of $2,045,500 that matures on January 7, 2020 and had a balance of $
966,847
as of
September 30, 2017
. Borrowings bear a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per annum and interest is calculated from the date of each advance until repayment in full or maturity. The loan has 59 scheduled monthly payments of $45,147 which includes principal and interest. The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of E-Source. The loan contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants for facilities of similar nature and size.
Unit Offering
On May 13, 2016, we closed the transactions contemplated by the May 10, 2016 Unit Purchase Agreement (the "
May 2016 Purchase Agreement
") with certain accredited investors (the "
Investors
"), pursuant to which we sold the Investors an aggregate of approximately 12 million units (the "
May 2016 Units
"), each consisting of (i) one share of Series B1 Preferred Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (the "
Series B1 Preferred Stock
") and (ii) one warrant to purchase one-quarter of a share of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (each a "
May 2016 Warrant
" and collectively, the "
May 2016 Warrants
"). The May 2016 Units were sold at a price of $1.56 per unit (the "
May 2016 Unit Price
") (a 2.6% premium to the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date the Purchase Agreement was entered into which was $1.52 per share (the "
May 2016 Closing Bid Price
")). The May 2016 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.53 per share ($0.01 above the Closing Bid Price). Total gross proceeds from the offering of the May 2016 Units (the "
May 2016 Offering
") were $19.4 million.
A total of approximately $18.6 million of the securities sold in the May 2016 Offering were purchased by investors who participated in the Company's prior June 2015 offering of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. 60% of the funds received from such investors were used to immediately repurchase such investors' Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, a total of approximately $11.2 million of the proceeds raised in the May 2016 Offering were used to immediately repurchase and retire approximately 3.6 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and pay accrued interest on such repurchased shares through the closing date (the "
Repurchases
"), leaving net proceeds of approximately $8.2 million, before deducting placement agents' fees and offering expenses. Of these net proceeds, $800,000 was used to pay amounts owed to the Lender, as discussed above and the remaining proceeds for working capital purposes and potential acquisitions.
Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (the "
Placement Agent
") acted as exclusive placement agent in connection with the May 2016 Offering. The Placement Agent received a commission equal to 6.5% of the net proceeds after affecting the Repurchases described above, from the May 2016 Offering, for an aggregate commission of approximately $530,000.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Benjamin P. Cowart, and the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Chris Carlson, each purchased 32,052 Units ($50,000 of May 2016 Units) in the May 2016 Offering and in connection with
26
such purchases was issued 32,052 shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock and May 2016 Warrants to purchase 8,013 shares of common stock.
The May 2016 Offering terms and the terms of the Series B1 Preferred Stock are described in greater detail in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2016 and May 13, 2016.
Need for additional funding
Our re-refining business will require significant capital to design and construct any new facilities.  The facility infrastructure would be an additional capitalized expenditure to these process costs and would depend on the location and site specifics of the facility.
Management believes that the amount available under our EBC Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement, in addition to projected earnings over the next couple of years, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. If it is necessary, we will seek additional financing for future operations, acquisitions or other future developments and to repay amounts owed to our creditors or to redeem our outstanding preferred securities. The required funds may be raised through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, debt, or convertible debt, which may include the grant of warrants. Our inability to obtain sufficient funds from external sources when such funds are needed will have a material adverse effect on our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, as part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a capital structure that is closely aligned with what we believe to be the potential of our business and goals for future growth, which is subject to cyclical changes in commodity prices, we will be exploring additional sources of external liquidity.  The receptiveness of the capital markets to an offering of debt or equities cannot be assured and may be negatively impacted by, among other things, debt maturities, current market conditions, and potential stockholder dilution. The sale of additional securities, if undertaken by us and if accomplished, may result in dilution to our shareholders. However, such future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
In addition to the above, we may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets.  In addition, the Company could consider selling assets if a more strategic acquisition presents itself.  Finally, in the event we deem such transaction in our best interest, we may enter into a business combination or similar transaction in the future.
There is currently only a limited market for our common stock, and as such, we anticipate that such market will be illiquid, sporadic and subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors moving forward, including, but not limited to:
(1)
actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
(2)
the market for, and volatility in, the market for oil and gas;
(3)
our ability or inability to generate new revenues; and
(4)
the number of shares in our public float.
Furthermore, because our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Additionally, at present, we have a limited number of shares in our public float, and as a result, there could be extreme fluctuations in the price of our common stock.
We believe that our stock prices (bid, ask and closing prices) may not relate to the actual value of our company, and may not reflect the actual value of our common stock. Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in our common stock, and should not rely on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determining our common stock value, but should instead determine the value of our common stock based on the information contained in our public reports, industry information, and those business valuation methods commonly used to value private companies.

September 30, 2017
, compared to the same period in

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets valuation, and legal matters. Actual results may differ from these estimates. (See Note 1 to the financial statements included herein).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for each of our divisions is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods are delivered, sales price is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon delivery by truck and railcar of feedstock to our re-refining customers and upon product leaving our terminal facilities via barge. Revenue is also recognized as recovered scrap materials are sold.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations for the acquired entities are included in the Company's consolidated financial results from their associated acquisition dates.  The Company allocates the purchase price of acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. A portion of purchase price for our acquisitions is contingent upon the realization of certain operating results. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired and contingent consideration were determined by management. If the purchase price is under the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities, a bargain purchase is recognized and included in income from continuing operations.
28
Fair value of financial instruments
Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("
FASB ASC
"), we are permitted to elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the change in fair value recorded in earnings. We elected not to measure any eligible items using the fair value option. Consistent with the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB ASC, we implemented guidelines relating to the disclosure of our methodology for periodic measurement of our assets and liabilities recorded at fair market value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
•
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
•
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
•
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Our Level 1 assets primarily include our cash and cash equivalents. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of the FASB ASC regarding long-lived assets. It requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company determined that no long-lived asset impairment existed at
September 30, 2017
.
Derivative liabilities
The Company, in accordance with ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 815-10-15 Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 480-10-25 Liabilities-Distinguishing from Equity, convertible preferred shares are accounted for net, outside of shareholders' equity and warrants are accounted for as liabilities at their fair value during periods where they can be net cash settled in case of a change in control transaction.  The warrants are accounted for as a liability at their fair value at each reporting period. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded as earnings. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, a Dynamic Black Scholes model is utilized that computes the impact of a possible change in control transaction upon the exercise of the warrant shares. This process relies upon inputs such as shares outstanding, estimated stock prices, strike price and volatility assumptions to dynamically adjust the payoff of the warrants in the presence of the dilution effect.
Preferred Stock Classification
A mandatorily redeemable financial instrument shall be classified as a liability unless the redemption is required to occur only upon the liquidation or termination of the reporting entity.  A financial instrument issued in the form of shares is mandatorily redeemable if it embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event certain to occur. A financial instrument that embodies a conditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets upon an event not certain to occur becomes mandatorily redeemable-and, therefore, becomes a liability-if that event occurs, the condition is resolved, or the event becomes certain to occur.  The Series B Preferred Stock requires the Company to redeem such preferred stock on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred stock and the Series B1 Preferred Stock requires the Company to redeem such preferred stock on the same date as the Series B Preferred Stock. SEC reporting requirements provide that any possible redemption outside of the control of the Company requires the preferred stock to be classified outside of permanent equity.
29
Market Risk
Our revenues and cost of revenues are affected by fluctuations in the value of energy related products.  We attempt to mitigate much of the risk associated with the volatility of relevant commodity prices by using our knowledge of the market to obtain feedstock at attractive costs, by efficiently managing the logistics associated with our products, by turning our inventory over quickly and by selling our products into markets where we believe we can achieve the greatest value.
30
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risks primarily through borrowings under various bank facilities.  Interest on these facilities is based upon variable interest rates using LIBOR or Prime as the base rate.
At
September 30, 2017
, the Company had about $17.7 million of variable-rate term debt outstanding. At this borrowing level, a hypothetical relative increase of 10% in interest rates would have an unfavorable but insignificant impact on the Company's pre-tax earnings and cash flows. The primary interest rate exposure on variable-rate debt is based on the LIBOR rate (1.23% at
September 30, 2017
) plus 6.50% per year.
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of crude oil and refined oil products. Our financial results can be significantly affected by changes in these prices which are driven by global economic and market conditions. We attempt to mitigate much of the risk associated with the volatility of relevant commodity prices by using our knowledge of the market to obtain feedstock at attractive costs, by efficiently managing the logistics associated with our products, by turning our inventory over quickly, and by selling our products into markets where we believe we can achieve the greatest value.
31
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As of September 30, 2017, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weakness we found in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 (as described in greater detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016), our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded properly, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In light of the material weaknesses described above, we had performed additional analysis and other post-quarter procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and we had contracted with experts, where necessary, for assistance in analyzing and determining the proper accounting and financial reporting treatment for various of the Company's complicated business transactions. Additionally, accounting and financial reporting personnel had been hired to strengthen the Company's resources and financial reporting expertise Accordingly, management has concluded that the financial statements fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as at, and for, the periods presented in this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.
Vertex Refining LA, LLC, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex Operating, was named as a defendant, along with numerous other parties, in five lawsuits filed on or about February 12, 2016, in the Second Parish Court for the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, Case No. 121749, by Russell Doucet et. al., Case No. 121750, by Kendra Cannon et. al., Case No. 121751, by Lashawn Jones et. al., Case No. 121752, by Joan Strauss et. al. and Case No. 121753, by Donna Allen et. al. The suits relate to alleged noxious and harmful emissions from our facility located in Marrero, Louisiana. The suits seek damages for physical and emotional injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses and deprivation of the use and enjoyment of plaintiffs' homes. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves and oppose the relief sought in the complaints, provided that at this stage of the litigation, the Company has no basis for determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.
E-Source, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex Operating, was named as a defendant (along with Motiva Enterprises, LLC, ("Motiva")) in a lawsuit filed in the Sixtieth (60th) Judicial District, Jefferson County, Texas, on April 22, 2015. Pursuant to the lawsuit, Whole Environmental, Inc. ("
Whole
"), made certain allegations against E-Source, and Motiva. The claims include Breach of Contract and Quantum Meruit actions relating to asbestos abatement and remediation operations performed for defendants at Motiva's facility in Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff alleges it is due monies earned. Defendants have denied any amounts due plaintiff. The suit seeks damages of approximately $864,000, along with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, the fair value of certain property alleged to be converted by defendants and reimbursement of legal fees. E-Source has asserted a counterclaim against Whole for the filing of a mechanic's lien in excess of any amount(s) actually due as well as a cross-claim against Motiva. Under the terms of E-Source's contract with Motiva, Motiva was to pay all sums due to any sub-contractors of E-Source. If any additional monies are owed to Whole, those monies should be paid by Motiva. E-Source seeks to recover the balance due under its contract with Motiva of approximately $1,000,000. The case is set for trial in the spring of 2018. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, filed with the Commission on March 14, 2017, under the heading "
Risk Factors
", except as discussed below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, under "
Risk Factors
" and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company's actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
We are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market
.
On September 22, 2017, we received written notice (the "
Notification Letter
") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("
Nasdaq
") notifying us that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notification Letter, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.
The Notification Letter does not impact the Company's listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. The Notification Letter states that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until March 19, 2018, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company's common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 19, 2018, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement) and notifies Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company's Common Stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Management remains vigilant with the Company's business strategy and is continuing to take steps to increase liquidity.
In the event we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
For the period from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017, a total of approximately $139,186 of dividends accrued on our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and for the period from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017, a total of approximately $279,385 of dividends accrued on our outstanding Series B1 Preferred Stock. We chose to pay such dividends in-kind by way of the issuance of 49,910 restricted shares of Series B Preferred Stock pro rata to each of the then holders of our Series B Preferred Stock in July 2017 and the issuance of 283,050 restricted shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock pro rata to each of the then holders of our Series B1 Preferred Stock in July 2017. If converted in full, the 49,910 shares of Series B Preferred Stock would convert into 49,910 shares of common stock and the 283,050 shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock would convert into 283,050 shares of common stock.
For the period from July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, a total of approximately $139,186 of dividends accrued on our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and for the period from July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, a total of approximately $281,527 of dividends accrued on our outstanding Series B1 Preferred Stock. We chose to pay such dividends in-kind by way of the issuance of 50,659 restricted shares of Series B Preferred Stock pro rata to each of the then holders of our Series B Preferred Stock in October 2017 and the issuance of 289,417 restricted shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock pro rata to each of the then holders of our Series B1 Preferred Stock in October 2017. If converted in full, the 50,659 shares of Series B Preferred Stock would convert into 50,659 shares of common stock and the 289,417 shares of Series B1 Preferred Stock would convert into 289,417 shares of common stock.
As the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series B1 Preferred Stock in-kind in satisfaction of the dividends did not involve a "
sale
" of securities under Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act, we believe that no registration of such securities, or exemption from registration for such securities, was required under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent such shares are deemed "
sold or offered
", we claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the transaction did not involve a public offering, the recipients were "
accredited investors
", and acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and are further subject to the terms of the escrow agreement. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
On October 20, 2017, the Company issued 3,041 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion by a holder thereof, of 3,041 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
We claim an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for such issuance, as the securities were exchanged by us with our existing security holder in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
As a result of the conversions and other transactions described above, there are 453,567 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which if converted in full, would convert into 453,567 shares of common stock; 3,427,597 outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which if converted in full, would convert into 3,427,597 shares of common stock; and 13,151,989 outstanding shares of Series B1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which if converted in full, would convert into 13,151,989 shares of common stock as of the date of this filing.
