the Company issued a press release announcing that, in light of a substantial reduction in projected sales revenue and earnings
for the current fiscal quarter and future periods resulting from a decision to change its pricing structure, its Board of Directors
had determined to suspend the Company&rsquo;s quarterly dividend program until further notice. The Company&rsquo;s lower revenue
and earnings are also expected to cause the Company to reverse its prior recognition as income, in the quarter ended December 31,
2011, of a realizable net deferred tax asset of approximately $3.7 million. The Company also announced that it now expects to report
a loss for the quarters ending March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012, and for the year ending June 30, 2012. A copy of this press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact,

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 20, 2012,
SMF Energy Corporation (the "Company") entered into an
Interim Management and Restructuring
Services Chief Restructuring Officer Engagement Letter Agreement
(the "Engagement Letter") with Kapila &
Company, Certified Public Accountants ("K&C"), to provide financial and restructuring advisory services to the
Company in connection with the Company's appointment of Soneet Kapila of K&C as its Chief Restructuring Officer ("CRO").
As provided in the
Engagement Letter, the Company paid K&C an initial retainer in the amount of $100,000. As compensation for K&C's
services, the Company will pay K&C fees at the hourly billing rate of $500 for services performed by Mr. Kapila and hourly
rates between $100 and $400 for other accounting and consulting personnel. In addition, the Company will reimburse K&C for
all actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of its services to the Company. The Engagement Letter
may be terminated upon five days written notice at any time by either the Company or K&C.
See Item 2.02 of this
Report below for a description of the terms of the Engagement Letter relating to the duties and authority of the CRO, which description
is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing summary
of the material terms and conditions of the Engagement Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the full text of the Engagement Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated
herein by reference.
A press release announcing
the appointment of Mr. Kapila and the retention of K&C was issued on March 22, 2012, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and
is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 16, 2012,
the Company issued a press release announcing that, in light of a substantial reduction in projected sales revenue and earnings
for the current fiscal quarter and future periods resulting from a decision to change its pricing structure, its Board of Directors
had determined to suspend the Company's quarterly dividend program until further notice. The Company's lower revenue
and earnings are also expected to cause the Company to reverse its prior recognition as income, in the quarter ended December 31,
2011, of a realizable net deferred tax asset of approximately $3.7 million. The Company also announced that it now expects to report
a loss for the quarters ending March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012, and for the year ending June 30, 2012. A copy of this press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact,
if any, that these matters may have on the Company's previously issued financial statements.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or
Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
1.	On March 20,
2012, Mr. Soneet R. Kapila, age 59, was appointed to serve as the Chief Restructuring Officer ("CRO") of the Company.
According to the Engagement Letter, the CRO has the combined power and authority of all senior management personnel of the Company,
including the chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of the Company except that the CRO's
authority is expressly limited to require the consent and approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
in those instances where a chief executive officer would ordinarily require Board consent and approval.
The Engagement Letter
also directs the CRO to perform a financial review of the Company, including but not limited to a review and assessment of financial
information that has been, and that will be, provided by the Company to the public or its creditors, including without limitation
its short and long-term projected cash flows, and to assist the Company in developing, refining and implementing its business plans.
Subject to the consent and approval of the Board in those instances where a Chief Executive Officer would require Board consent
and approval, the CRO is authorized and directed to implement such business plans, to identify and implement cost reduction and
operations improvement opportunities, to develop possible restructuring plans or strategic alternatives for maximizing the enterprise
value of the Company's various business lines, to determine which plan(s) or alternative(s) are appropriate under the circumstances,
to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to implement such plan(s) or alternative(s), to assist in identifying strategic
alternatives and to negotiate with potential merger or business partners, with potential acquirers of some or all of the Company's
assets and with current or potential new lenders.
The CRO will continue to be employed by
K&C while rendering services to the Company and will continue to work with other personnel at K&C in connection with other
unrelated matters so long as they do not unduly interfere with the CRO services provided pursuant to the Engagement Letter. The
Company also agrees to indemnify Mr. Kapila and K&C in connection with the performance of their services under the Engagement
Letter to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Mr. Kapila has been
a partner at K&C since he founded it in 1993. K&C is a certified public accounting firm with a practice encompassing forensic
investigation & analysis, distressed business restructuring, business valuations, litigation support services, lost profits
and damages analysis,
business analysis and bankruptcy, insolvency
and tax consulting. Mr. Kapila regularly advises clients about the operation of distressed businesses.
There are no family
relationships between Mr. Kapila and any director or executive officer of the Company. There are no related-party transactions
between the Company and Mr. Kapila reportable under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K or Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K as referenced therein.
Per the Engagement
Letter, Mr. Kapila will serve as CRO of the Company until such time as he is removed by the Board or he resigns his position, in
each case, upon prior written notice pursuant to the termination requirements of the Engagement Letter.

The foregoing description
of certain terms and conditions of the Engagement Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to Item 1.01 of this Report and to the full text of the Engagement Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
2.	On March 16, 2012, the Company announced
that Mark W. Smith, who first joined the Board as an outside Board member on February 7, 2012, has resigned from the Board of
Directors, including his position as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board.
Also on March 16, 2012,
