Recent Developments
On February 11, 2021, we sold 1,131,500 shares of our common stock in an
underwritten offering at a public offering price of $5.10 per share (the
"Offering"). The Offering closed on February 17, 2021. The net proceeds to us
from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions
and Offering expenses, were $5.3 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from
this offering for general corporate purposes, capital expenditures, working
capital, and potential acquisitions of oil and gas properties.
On March 4, 2021 we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with APEG II.
Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, APEG II converted a total of
approximately $413,000, representing the principal of the Secured Promissory
Note of $375,000 and accrued interest of approximately $38,000 into 97,962
unregistered shares of our common stock. The number of shares was based on a
conversion price of $4.21 per share, a 9.9% discount to the ten-day volume
weighted average price of our common stock for the ten days immediately
preceding the signing of the Debt Conversion Agreement (the "VWAP Discount
Price").
Also, on March 4, 2021, APEG II entered into a Subscription Agreement with us,
whereby APEG II subscribed to purchase 90,846 unregistered shares of our common
stock for an aggregate of approximately $383,000 based on the VWAP Discount
Price. The $383,000 subscription price was paid by way of forgiveness by APEG II
of the same amount of funds owed by us for reimbursement of APEG II's legal
costs in connection with certain shareholder derivative actions brought by APEG
against us and our former Chief Executive Officer in Colorado and Texas, which
were dismissed in May 2020 and August, respectively.
On March 9, 2021, we entered into a commodity derivative contract to hedge the
price of 100 barrels of crude oil per day from March 1 to December 31, 2021at
$61.90 based on the calendar month average of WTI Crude Oil.
Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic and Effect on Economic Environment
In early March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 that has resulted
in a drastic decline in global demand of certain mineral and energy products
including crude oil. As a result of the lower demand caused by the COVID-19
pandemic and the oversupply of crude oil, spot and future prices of crude oil
fell to historic lows during the second quarter of 2020 and only recently
recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels. Operators in North Dakota's Williston Basin
responded by significantly decreasing drilling and completion activity and
shutting in or curtailing production from a significant number of producing
wells. Operators' decisions on these matters are changing rapidly and it is
difficult to predict the future effects on the Company's business. Lower oil and
natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, but an extended decline in
oil or gas prices may materially and adversely affect our future business,
financial position, cash flows, results of operations, liquidity, ability to
finance planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that
we can economically produce.
Additionally, the outbreak of COVID-19 and decreases in commodity prices
resulting from oversupply, government-imposed travel restrictions, and other
constraints on economic activity have caused a significant decrease in the
demand for oil and has created disruptions and volatility in the global
marketplace for oil and gas beginning in the first quarter of 2020, which
negatively affected our results of operations and cash flows. These conditions
persisted throughout 2020 and continue to negatively affect our results of
operations and cash flows. While demand and commodity prices have shown signs of
recovery, they are not back to pre-pandemic levels, and financial results may
continue to be depressed in future quarters. The extent to which the COVID-19
pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving
factors we cannot reliably predict, including the duration and scope of the
pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals' actions in response to the
pandemic; and the impact on economic activity including the possibility of
recession or financial market instability. These factors may adversely impact
the supply and demand for oil and gas and our ability to produce and transport
oil and gas and perform operations at and on our properties. This uncertainty
also affects management's accounting estimates and assumptions, which could
result in greater variability in a variety of areas that depend on these
estimates and assumptions, including investments, receivables, and
forward-looking guidance.
46
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies is detailed in
Note 1 - Organization, Operations and Significant Accounting Policies in
Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K under " Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data ". We have outlined below those policies identified as being
critical to the understanding of our business and results of operations and that
require the application of significant management judgment.
Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Estimates. Our estimates of proved reserves are
based on quantities of oil and natural gas reserves which current engineering
data indicates are recoverable from known reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions. Estimates of proved reserves are critical estimates in
determining our depreciation, depletion and amortization expense ("DD&A") and
our full cost ceiling limitation ("Full Cost Ceiling"). Future cash inflows are
determined by applying oil and natural gas prices, as adjusted for
transportation, quality and basis differentials to the estimated quantities of
proved reserves remaining to be produced as of the end of that period. Future
production and development costs are based on costs existing at the effective
date of the report. Expected cash flows are discounted to present value using a
prescribed discount rate of 10% per annum.
Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise because of uncertainties
in projecting rates of production and timing of developmental expenditures,
interpretations of geological, geophysical, engineering and production data and
the quality and quantity of available data. Changing economic conditions also
may affect our estimates of proved reserves due to changes in developmental
costs and changes in commodity prices that may impact reservoir economics. We
utilize independent reserve engineers to estimate our proved reserves at the end
of each fiscal quarter during the year.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties. We follow the full cost method in accounting for
our oil and natural gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs
associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural
gas properties are capitalized and accumulated in a country-wide cost center.
This includes any internal costs that are directly related to development and
exploration activities, but does not include any costs related to production,
general corporate overhead or similar activities. Proceeds received from
property disposals are credited against accumulated cost except when the sale
represents a significant disposal of reserves, in which case a gain or loss is
recognized.
The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development and
dismantlement costs for each cost center are amortized using the equivalent
unit-of-production method, based on proved oil and natural gas reserves. The
capitalized costs are amortized over the life of the reserves associated with
the assets, with the DD&A recognized in the period that the reserves are
produced. DD&A is calculated by dividing the period's production volumes by the
estimated volume of reserves associated with the investment and multiplying the
calculated percentage by the sum of the capitalized investment and estimated
future development costs associated with the investment. Changes in our reserve
estimates will therefore result in changes in our DD&A per unit. Costs
associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the
period incurred.
Exploratory wells in progress are excluded from the DD&A calculation until the
outcome of the well is determined. Similarly, unproved property costs are
initially excluded from the DD&A calculation. Unproved property costs not
subject to the DD&A calculation consist primarily of leasehold and seismic costs
related to unproved areas. Unproved property costs are transferred into the
amortization base on an ongoing basis as the properties are evaluated and proved
reserves are established or impairment is determined. Unproved oil and natural
gas properties are assessed quarterly for impairment to determine whether we are
still actively pursuing the project and whether the project has been proven
either to have economic quantities of reserves or that economic quantities of
reserves do not exist.
Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and natural gas
property costs less accumulated DD&A and net of deferred income taxes may not
exceed the Full Cost Ceiling. The Full Cost Ceiling is equal to the present
value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and
natural gas reserves plus the unimpaired cost of unproved properties not subject
to amortization, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties
that are subject to amortization. When net capitalized costs exceed the Full
Cost Ceiling, an impairment is recognized.
47
Joint Interest Operations. The majority of our properties are operated by other
companies. Therefore, we rely to a large extent on the operator of the property
to provide us with timely and accurate information about the operations of the
properties. Revenue statements and joint interest billings from the operators
serve as our primary source of information to record revenue, operating expenses
and capital expenditures for our properties on a monthly basis. Many of our
properties are subject to complex participation and operating agreements where
our working interests and net revenue interests are subject to change upon the
occurrence of certain events, such as the achievement of "payout." These
calculations may be subject to error and differences of interpretation which can
cause uncertainties about the proper amount that should be recorded in our
accounting records. When these issues arise, we make every effort to work with
the operators to resolve the issues promptly.
Acquisitions. The Company accounts for acquisitions as business combinations if
the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of
the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single
identifiable asset or a group of similar assets, the acquisition is not
considered a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. This
determination of whether the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a group
of similar assets is based on whether the risks associated with managing and
creating outputs from the assets are similar.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
606-Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted effective January 1,
2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Note 4- Revenue Recognition
to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report on
Form 10-K under " Financial Statements and Supplementary Data "
Stock-Based Compensation. We measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the
fair market value of the award as of the grant date. We recognize the cost of
the equity awards over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. For
awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition
for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the
award was, in substance, a single award.
Warrant Liability. In connection with a private placement of common shares in
December 2016, we concurrently sold to the purchasers warrants to purchase
100,000 shares of common stock. During 2020, 50,000 of the warrants were
exercised, leaving 50,000 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020. The
exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse
stock splits, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as
described in the warrants. The warrants are also subject to "down-round"
anti-dilution in the event we issue additional common stock or common stock
equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price in effect. We have
classified the warrants as liabilities due to provisions in the warrant
agreement that precluded equity classification, including an option of the
holder to receive the calculated fair value of the warrant from the Company in
cash in the event of a "Fundamental Transaction," as defined in the warrant
agreement. Changes in fair value are reported each period in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Preferred Stock. On December 31, 2020, we redeemed all outstanding shares of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as discussed above. In previous periods,
we have excluded our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from stockholders'
equity due to a redemption feature whereby the holders of the preferred stock
had the option to redeem their shares in the event of a change of control, which
is outside of our control. See Note 10- Preferred Stock to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this report on Form 10-K under
" Financial Statements and Supplementary Data " for more information related
to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Please refer to the section entitled Recent Accounting Pronouncements under
Note 1 - Organization, Operations and Significant Accounting Policies in
Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K under " Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data " for additional information on recently issued accounting
standards and our plans for adoption of those standards.

Results of Operations
Comparison of our Statements of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020
and 2019
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $6.4 million
as compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In the following sections we discuss our revenue, operating expenses, and
non-operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year
ended December 31, 2019.
Revenue. Presented below is a comparison of our oil and natural gas sales,
production quantities and average sales prices for the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands, except average sales prices):
Change
2020 2019 Amount Percent
Revenue:
Oil $ 2,127 $ 6,149 $ (4,022 ) -65 %
Gas 203 424 (221 ) -52 %
Total $ 2,330 6,573 $ (4,243 ) -65 %
Production quantities:
Oil (Bbls) 60,469 110,090 (49,621 ) -45 %
Gas (Mcfe) 116,082 209,518 (93,436 ) -45 %
BOE 79,816 145,010 (65,194 ) -45 %
Average sales prices:
Oil (Bbls) $ 35.18 $ 55.85 $ (20.67 ) -37 %
Gas (Mcfe) 1.75 2.03 (0.28 ) -14 %
BOE 29.19 45.33 (16.14 ) -36 %
The decrease in our oil sales of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2020, compared to the prior year's period resulted from a 45% decrease in
production quantities and a 37% decrease in the average sales price received
during 2020, compared to 2019. The decline in oil prices is primarily due to
reduced demand on a global basis beginning in mid-March 2020, as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our oil price differential widened for our North
Dakota properties where the differential from WTI increased to $6.60 per barrel
in 2020, compared to $5.06 per barrel in 2019. The decrease in oil production
quantities is the result of operators shutting in production in our North Dakota
properties beginning in April 2020 as a response to low oil prices, and the
production declines from our South Texas wells, which were drilled in late 2018
and early 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we produced 79,816 BOE, or an average of
218 BOE per day, as compared to 145,010 BOE or 397 BOE per day in 2019.
Production from our properties in South Texas decreased by 60,369 BOE during
2020, a 72% decrease compared to 2019. This decrease was attributable to steep
production declines related to wells drilled in our South Texas properties in
late 2018 and early 2019. In addition, production from our Williston Basin
properties decreased by 12,076 BOE during 2020, which is a 20% reduction
compared to 2019. This decrease is primarily due to operators in North Dakota
shutting-in production due to low oil prices in the second fiscal quarter of
2020. These declines were partially offset by production from properties
acquired during 2020 of 7,252 BOE.
Oil and Natural Gas Production Costs. Presented below is a comparison of our oil
and natural gas production costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
(in thousands):
Change
2020 2019 Amount Percent
Lease operating expenses $ 1,535 $ 1,848 $ (313 ) -17 %
Production taxes 168 429 (261 ) -60 %
Total $ 1,703 $ 2,277 $ (574 ) -25 %
49
For the year ended December 31, 2020, lease operating expense decreased by $313
thousand or 17% due to cost cutting measures enacted due to low commodity prices
and reduced field activity. Production taxes decreased by $261 thousand or 60%
compared to 2019. The decrease in production taxes is the result of decreased
revenue from oil and natural gas revenue of 65%.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Our DD&A rate for the year ended
December 31, 2020 was $5.09 per BOE, compared to $4.78 per BOE for year ended
December 31, 2019. During 2020, our depletion rate was impacted by a
reclassification of $2.1 million of our unevaluated properties and ceiling test
write downs of $2.9 million. Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of changes
in drilling and completion costs, impairments, divestitures, changes in the mix
of our production, the underlying proved reserve volumes and estimated costs to
drill and complete proved undeveloped reserves.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. For the year ended December 31,
2020, we recorded an impairment of $2.9 million due to the net capitalized cost
of our oil and natural gas properties exceeding the full cost ceiling
limitation. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there was no such full cost
ceiling limitation.
General and Administrative Expenses. Presented below is a comparison of our
general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019 (in thousands):
Change
2020 2019 Amount Percent
Compensation and benefits,
including directors $ 1,141 $ 1,187 $ (46 ) -4 %
Professional fees, insurance and
other 1,506 3,178 (1,672 ) -53 %
Bad debt expense - 28 (28 ) - %
Total $ 2,647 $ 4,393 $ (1,746 ) -40 %
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,746 thousand for the year
ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019
primarily due to a reduction in professional fees of $1,672 thousand. The
decrease in professional fees was primarily attributable to a reduction in legal
fees of $1,431 thousand of which $1,216 thousand was directly related to the
APEG II litigation and the forensic accounting review. See Litigation-APEG II
Litigation and -Litigation with Former Chief Executive Officer in Note
9-Commitments, Contingencies and Related-Party Transactions in the Notes to
the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K
under " Financial Statements and Supplementary Data ". Compensation and
benefits decreased $46 thousand due to a reduction in salary expense of $198
thousand due to lower headcount and a reduction in accrued bonuses of $92
thousand. These reductions were partially offset by a $170 thousand increase in
the amortization of stock-based compensation awards granted to our Chief
Executive Officer and directors in January 2020 and an increase in director
compensation of $75 thousand, due to an increase in the number of directors
serving on the board of directors.
Non-Operating Income (Expense). Presented below is a comparison of our
non-operating income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
(in thousands):
Change
2020 2019 Amount Percent
Loss on real estate assets held for sale (1,054 ) - (1,054 ) -100 %
Loss on marketable equity securities (81 ) (229 ) 148 65 %
Warrant revaluation (loss) gain (23 ) 352 (375 ) -107 %
Rental property loss (27 ) (72 ) 45 63 %
Other income 88 200 (112 ) 56 %
Interest expense, net (14 ) (11 ) (3 ) -27 %
Total other (expense) income $ (1,111 ) $ 240 $ (1,351 ) -563 %
50
During the year ended December 31, 2020 we reclassified our Riverton, Wyoming
office building and land to real estate held for sale. Concurrent with the
reclassification we recognized a $651 thousand loss to adjust the carrying
amount of the land and building to its estimated fair value of $725 thousand and
an additional $403 thousand loss to adjust the carrying amount of three land
parcels adjacent to our building to their estimated fair value of $250 thousand.
See Note 3-Real Estate Held for Sale in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in this report.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 we recognized an unrealized loss on
marketable equity securities of $81 thousand as compared to an unrealized loss
of $229 thousand for the comparable period of 2019. The unrealized loss
represents the decline in value of our investment in Anfield Energy Inc. In July
2020, we sold 1,210,455 shares, representing one-third of our total investment
for proceeds of $45 thousand. We expect to sell the remaining shares in the
second quarter of 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a warrant revaluation
loss of $23 thousand as compared to a gain of $352 thousand during the year
ended December 31, 2019. The current year loss was attributable to an increase
in the warrant liability, primarily as a result of the increase in the value of
our common stock, which was partially offset by the exercise of 50,000 warrants
during the period.
In 2018, due to uncertainty of collection, we wrote off a receivable of $374
thousand related to a refundable deposit for a transaction that was not
completed. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recovered $75 thousand of
the receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2019 we recovered $200
thousand related to the recovery of the same receivable. The total amounts of
the receivable collected through December 31, 2020 is $275 thousand. The
recovery of the deposit is included in other income in the table above.
Interest, net increased by $3 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2020
compared to the comparable period in 2019. Interest in the current year is
attributable to interest accrued on the $375 thousand secured note payable with
APEG II, which we borrowed in September 2020. Interest in the prior year
represents interest on our credit facility, which was repaid in full on March 1,
2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on the current commodity price environment, we believe we have sufficient
liquidity and capital resources to execute our business plan while continuing to
meet our current financial obligations in a challenging commodity price
environment.
We have no control over the market prices for oil, and natural gas, although we
may be able to influence the amount of our realized revenues from our oil, and
natural gas sales through the use of derivative contracts. In March 2021, we
entered into a crude oil swap contract to fix the price of 100 barrels of our
crude production oil per day from March 1 to December 31, 2021 at $61.90 per
barrel. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, but an
extended decline in oil or gas prices may materially and adversely affect our
future business, financial position, cash flows, results of operations,
liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and the oil and
natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Commodity derivative
contracts may limit the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas sales if
prices rise substantially over the price established by the commodity derivative
contract.
The following table sets forth certain measures about our liquidity as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, in thousands:
2020 2019 Change
Cash and equivalents $ 2,854 $ 1,532 $ 1,322
Working capital surplus (1) 2,499 1,470 1,029
Total assets 12,363 13,467 (1,104 )
Outstanding debt 375 - 375
Total shareholders' equity 8,567 9,210 (643 )
Select Ratios:
Current ratio (2) 2.17 to 1.00 2.20 to 1.00
Debt-to-equity ratio (3) 0.04 to 1.00 N/A
(1) Working capital is computed by subtracting total current liabilities from
total current assets.
(2) The current ratio is computed by dividing total current assets by total
current liabilities.
(3) The debt-to-equity ratio is computed by dividing total debt by total
shareholders' equity.
51
As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital surplus of $2.5 million
compared to a working capital surplus of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2019,
an increase of $1.0 million. This increase was primarily attributable to $4.5
million in proceeds received from offerings of our common stock during the
period less $2.0 million paid for the redemption of our Series A preferred stock
and cash of approximately $1.0 million paid for acquisitions and development of
our oil and natural gas properties.
As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.5 million. As of March 22, 2021,
we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.3 million and accounts payable and
accrued liabilities of approximately $0.9 million.
We own a 14-acre tract in Riverton, Wyoming with a two-story, 30,400 square foot
office building and an additional 13-acre parcel of land adjacent to the
building. The building served as our corporate headquarters until 2015 and is
currently being leased to government agencies and other non-affiliated
companies. During 2020, we made the decision to sell the land and building and
began a process to determine the price at which we would list the property for
sale. The process included obtaining an appraisal, analyzing operating
statements for the building, reviewing capitalization rates and consulting a
large national commercial real estate company. We determined the realizable
value of the real estate assets was in the range of $950 thousand to $1.2
million. A special committee of the board of directors was formed to evaluate
the sales process and during 2020, we entered into an agreement with a large
national commercial broker and a local broker in Riverton, Wyoming to sell our
real estate assets.
In July 2020, we sold 1,210,455 shares of our investment in Anfield Energy Inc.
and received proceeds of approximately $45 thousand. The sale represented
one-third of our total investment in Anfield. We intend to dispose of the
remaining shares during the second fiscal quarter of 2021.
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, we closed on a registered direct offering
of 315,810 shares of our common stock and underwritten offering of an additional
1,150,000 shares of our common stock. The net proceeds from the offerings were
approximately $4.5 million. In addition, in February 2021, we closed an
underwritten offering of 1,131,600 shares of our common stock and received net
proceeds of approximately $5.3 million.
If we have needs for financing in 2021, alternatives that we will consider would
potentially include entering into a reserve-based credit facility, selling all
or a partial interest in certain of our non-operated oil and natural gas assets,
selling our marketable equity securities, issuing additional shares of our
common stock for cash or as consideration for acquisitions, and other
alternatives, as we determine how to best fund our capital programs and meet our
financial obligations.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
2020 2019 Change
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ (717 ) $ 638 $ (1,355 )
Investing activities (1,109 ) (281 ) (828 )
Financing activities 3,148 (1,165 ) 4,313
Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended
December 31, 2020, was $0.7 million as compared to cash provided by operating
activities of $0.6 million for 2019, an increase of $1.3 million. This increase
was primarily related to the decrease in oil revenues as a result of a reduction
in oil prices combined with production declines, primarily in our South Texas
properties.
52
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2020, was $1.1 million compared to cash used in investing
activities of $0.3 million for 2019, an increase of $0.8 million. The increase
in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable the acquisitions
we completed during the year and well work that we performed to bring some of
the idle wells acquired back to production.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2020, was $3.1 million as compared to cash used in financing
activities of $1.2 million for 2019, an increase of $4.3 million. The increase
was due to net proceeds of $4.5 million from the issuance of common stock, $0.6
million in proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants, and $0.4
million from the related party note payable. These increases were partially
offset by a cash payment of $2.0 million for the redemption of our Series A
preferred stock and $0.2 million in payments on our note payable to finance
insurance premiums. In 2019, cash used in financing activities was primarily due
to $0.9 million paid on credit facility and $0.2 million in payments on the note
payable to finance insurance premiums.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our ongoing business, we have not participated in transactions that
generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships,
such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose
entities ("SPEs"), which would have been established for the purpose of
facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
limited purposes.
We evaluate our transactions to determine if any variable interest entities
exist, if it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity, that entity will be consolidated in our consolidated financial
statements. We have not been involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements via
unconsolidated SPE transactions during the two-year period ended December 31,
2020.
