ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

PART I

Enservco Corporation (“Enservco”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “us”) provides various services
to  the  domestic  onshore  oil  and  natural  gas  industry.  These  services  include  frac  water  heating,  hot  oiling  and  acidizing  (well  enhancement  services);  water
transfer and water treatment (water transfer services); water hauling, fluid disposal, frac tank rental (water hauling services); and, excavating, grading, and dirt
hauling  services  (construction  services).  The  Company  owns  and  operates  a  fleet  of  more  than  650  specialized  trucks,  trailers,  frac  tanks  and  other  well-site
related  equipment  and  serves  customers  in  several  major  domestic  oil  and  gas  fields  including  the  DJ  Basin/Niobrara  area  in  Colorado,  the  Bakken  area  in
North  Dakota,  the  Marcellus  and  Utica  Shale  area  in  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio,  the  Jonah  Field,  Green  River  and  Powder  River  Basins  in  Wyoming,  the  Eagle
Ford Shale in Texas and the Mississippi Lime and Hugoton field area in Kansas and the Stack and Scoop plays in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma.

Enservco was originally incorporated as Aspen Exploration Corporation under Delaware law on February 28, 1980 for the primary purpose of acquiring,
exploring  and  developing  oil  and  natural  gas  and  other  mineral  properties.  During  the  first  half  of  2009,  Aspen  disposed  of  its  oil  and  natural  gas  producing
assets  and  as  a  result  was  no  longer  engaged  in  active  business  operations.  On  June  24,  2010,  Aspen  entered  into  an  Agreement  and  Plan  of  Merger  and
Reorganization with Dillco Fluid Service, Inc. (“Dillco”) which set forth the terms by which Dillco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aspen on July 27, 2010.
On December 30, 2010, Aspen changed its name to “Enservco Corporation.”

The Company’s executive (or corporate) offices are located at 501 South Cherry St., Ste. 1000, Denver, CO 80246. Our telephone number is (303) 333-

3678, and our facsimile number is (720) 974-3417. Our website is www.enservco.com.

On  November  24,  2015,  HWWM  was  organized  under  Colorado  law  as  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Enservco  for  the  purpose  of  launching  a  water
transfer service division. Effective January 1, 2016, HWWM acquired various water transfer assets from WET Oil Services, LLC (‘WET”) including vehicles, high
and low volume pumps, manifolds, pipe, and other support equipment. In addition, effective January 1, 2016, HWWM acquired water treatment equipment which
utilizes technology in devices sold under the name of HydroFLOW and various water transfer assets including high and low volume pumps, lay flat hose, trailers,
generators, pipe and other equipment from HII Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates (“HIIT”). The total purchase price for both acquisitions was approximately $4.3
million.  HydroFLOW  products  offer  water  treatment  services  based  on  patented  hydropath  technology  that  can  remove  bacteria  and  scale  from  water  using
electrical induction to reduce or eliminate down-hole scaling and corrosion. HWWM provides water transfer services and water treatment services to the onshore
oil and natural gas sector.

Overview of Business Operations

Enservco primarily conducts its business operations through its principal operating subsidiaries (Heat Waves, HWWM, and Dillco), which provide oil field
services to the domestic onshore oil and natural gas industry. These services include frac water heating, hot oiling, pressure testing, acidizing, water transfer,
bacteria  and  scale  treatment,  freshwater  and  saltwater  hauling,  fluid  disposal,  frac  tank  rental,  well  site  construction  and  other  general  oil  field  services.  As
described in the table above, certain assets utilized by Heat Waves and Dillco in their business operations are owned by other subsidiary entities. The Company
currently operates in the following geographic regions:

•

•

•

Eastern USA Region, including the southern region of the Marcellus Shale formation (southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia) and the
Utica Shale formation in eastern Ohio. The Eastern USA Region operations are deployed from Heat Waves’ operations center in Carmichaels, PA which
opened in the first quarter of 2011.

Rocky Mountain Region, including eastern Colorado and southern Wyoming (D-J Basin and Niobrara formations), central Wyoming (Powder River and
Green River Basins) and western North Dakota and eastern Montana (Bakken area). The Rocky Mountain Region operations are deployed from Heat
Waves’ operations centers in Killdeer and Tioga, ND; Rock Springs, WY; and, Platteville, CO.

Central USA Region, including the Mississippi Lime and Hugoton area in southwestern Kansas, Texas panhandle, and northwestern Oklahoma, and the
Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas. The Central USA Region operations are deployed from operations centers in Garden City and Hugoton, KS; Okarche,
OK; and, Jourdanton, TX.

Historically,  the  Company  focused  its  growth  strategy  on  strategic  acquisitions  of  operating  companies  and  expansion  of  services  through  capital
investment consisting of the acquisition and fabrication of property and equipment. That strategy also included expanding into new geographical territories as well
as expanding the services it provides. These strategies are exemplified by these activities:

(1)

(2)

From 2014 through 2016, the Company spent approximately $33.7 million for the acquisition and fabrication of additional frac water heating, hot
oiling, and acidizing equipment; and

To  expand  its  footprint,  in  early  2010  Heat  Waves  began  providing  services  in  the  Marcellus  Shale  natural  gas  field  in  southwestern
Pennsylvania  and  West  Virginia,  and  in  September  2011  Heat  Waves  extended  its  services  into  the  D-J  Basin  /  Niobrara  formation  and  the
Bakken  formation  through  opening  new  operation  centers  in  southern  Wyoming  and  western  North  Dakota,  respectively.  In  late  2012  the
Company expanded its operations, through its Pennsylvania operation center, into the Utica Shale formation in eastern Ohio. Also, in early 2015
the Company expanded its operations into the Eagle Ford formation through opening a new operations center in southern Texas. And,  in  2016,
we began to provide some services in the Permian Basin in west Texas.

(3)

To  expand  its  services,  in  January  2016,  Enservco  acquired  various  water  transfer  assets  for  approximately  $4.3  million  in  order  to  provide
water transfer services and bacteria and scaling treatment solutions to its customers in all of its operating areas.

As  described  in  this  report,  the  past  two  fiscal  years  have  been  very  challenging  for  us.  The  decline  in  drilling,  completion  and  service  activities
throughout the industry that started in 2014 and continued during most of 2016 due to low oil and natural gas prices combined with warm winter weather in our
frac heating markets resulted in a significant drop in demand for our services in 2015 and 2016. In addition, we have had to borrow from our credit facility in order
to fund our operations, and as of March 28, 2017, we had approximately $25.7 million outstanding on the facility and $4.1 million available under the facility. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” for further information.

Subject to overcoming our significant cash needs and increasing our operating results which will likely require significant price increases in the oil and
gas industry, the Company expects to continue to pursue its growth strategies of exploring additional acquisitions, potentially expanding the geographic areas in
which it operates, and diversifying the products and services it provides to customers, as well as making further investments in adding to its current assets and
equipment.

Operating Entities

As  noted  above,  Enservco  conducts  its  business  operations  and  holds  assets  primarily  through  its  subsidiary  entities.  The  following  describes  the

operations and assets of Enservco’s operating subsidiaries.

Dillco. From its inception in 1974, Dillco has focused primarily on providing water hauling/disposal/storage services, well site construction services and
frac tank rental to energy companies working in the Hugoton gas field in southwestern Kansas and northwestern Oklahoma. Water hauling and disposal services
have been the primary sources of Dillco’s revenue. Dillco currently owns and operates a fleet of water hauling trucks and related assets, including specialized
tank trucks, frac tanks, water disposal wells, construction and other related equipment. These assets transport, store and dispose of both fresh and salt water, as
well as provide well site construction and maintenance services.

Heat Waves. Heat Waves provides a range of well stimulation/maintenance services to a diverse group of independent and major oil and natural gas

companies. The primary services provided are intended to:

(1)
(2)

Assist in the fracturing of formations for newly drilled oil and natural gas wells; and
Help maintain and enhance the production of existing wells throughout their productive life.

These services consist of frac water heating, hot oiling and acidizing. Heat Waves also provides some water hauling and well site construction services.
Heat  Waves’  operations  are  currently  in  the  major  oil  and  natural  gas  areas  in  Kansas,  Texas,  Oklahoma,  Wyoming,  Colorado,  Pennsylvania,  West  Virginia,
Ohio, North Dakota, and Montana.

HWWM.  HWWM  was  organized  in  November  2015  as  a  new  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Enservco  for  the  purpose  of  launching  a  new  water

management division. In connection therewith, HWWM acquired approximately $4.3 million of water management assets from HIIT and WET in January 2016.

HWWM provides water transfer services, bacteria and scaling treatment solutions, and equipment rental to customers in the oil and natural gas industry.
Water transfer entails using high and low volume pumps, lay flat hose, aluminum pipe and manifolds to move fresh and/or recycled water from a water source
such as a pond, lake, river, stream, or water storage facility to frac tanks at drilling locations to be used in connection with well completion activities. In addition to
providing  traditional  water  transfer  services,  HWWM  also  utilizes  a  patented  hydropath  technology  (distributed  under  the  name  of  HydroFLOW)  to  provide
bacteria  and  scaling  treatment  services  to  the  oil  and  gas  industry.  HydroFLOW  utilizes  electrical  induction  to  reduce  or  eliminate  down-hole  scaling  and
corrosion and to reduce or eliminate bacteria in water. The hydropath technology is owned by HydroPath Holdings Limited. Pursuant to a Sales Agreement with
the  North  American  master  distributor,  HydroFLOW  U.S.A.,  HWWM  has  the  exclusive  right  to  sell  or  rent  HydroFLOW  devices  in  connection  with  bacteria
deactivation and scale treatment services for treating injection and disposal wells, fracking water and recycled water in the oil and gas industry to customers in
the United States (except in Texas where the right regarding injection and disposal wells is exclusive to only 20 companies but non-exclusive for the remaining
companies  in  Texas).  We  believe  this  lower-cost  and  environmentally  friendly  alternative  to  conventional  chemical  treatment  of  frac  and  recycled  water  will
significantly reduce the use, and therefore cost, of chemicals now used by oil and gas companies.

Areas of Operations

The following map shows the primary areas in which the Company currently operates.

Business Segments

Enservco, through its operating subsidiaries, provides a range of services to owners and operators of oil and natural gas wells in the following business

segments.

Well Enhancement Services 

The Company’s well enhancement services consist of frac water heating, acidizing, hot oiling services, and pressure testing. These services are provided
primarily by Heat Waves which currently utilizes a fleet of approximately 198 custom designed trucks and other related equipment. Heat Waves’ operations are
currently  in  southwestern  Kansas,  northwestern  Oklahoma,  Texas  panhandle,  southern  Wyoming  (Niobrara),  Colorado  (D-J  Basin),  southwestern
Pennsylvania/northwestern  West  Virginia  (Marcellus  Shale),  eastern  Ohio  (Utica  Shale),  western  North  Dakota  and  eastern  Montana  (Bakken  formation),  and
southern  Texas  (Eagle  Ford  Shale).  Well  enhancement  services  accounted  for  approximately  73%  and  85%  of  the  Company’s  total  revenues  for  fiscal  years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Frac Water Heating – Frac Water Heating is the process of heating water used in connection with the fracturing process of completing a well. Fracturing
services are intended to enhance the production from crude oil and natural gas wells through the creation of conductive flowpaths to enable the hydrocarbons to
reach the wellbore where the natural flow has been restricted by underground formations. The fracturing process consists of pumping a fluid slurry, which largely
consists of fresh water and a proppant into a well at sufficient pressure to fracture (i.e. create conductive flowpaths) the formation. To ensure these solutions are
properly mixed and can flow freely, during certain parts of the year the water frequently needs to be heated to a sufficient temperature as determined by the well
owner/operator. Heat Waves currently owns and operates a fleet 53 frac heaters (or the equivalent of 81 burner boxes) designed to heat large amounts of water.

Acidizing - Acidizing entails pumping large volumes of specially formulated acids and/or chemicals into a well to dissolve materials blocking the flow of
the crude oil or natural gas. The acid is pumped into the well under pressure. Acidizing is most often used to increase permeability throughout the formation,
clean up formation damage near the wellbore caused by drilling, and to remove buildup of materials restricting the flow of crude oil and gas through perforations
in the well casing. For most customers, Heat Waves supplies the acid solution and also pumps that solution into a given well. Heat Waves currently owns and
operates a fleet of 7 acidizing units which consist of a specially designed acid pump truck and an acid transport trailer.

Hot  Oil  Services  –  Hot  oil  services  involve  the  circulation  of  a  heated  fluid,  typically  oil,  to  dissolve,  melt,  or  dislodge  paraffin  or  other  hydrocarbon
deposits from the tubing of a producing well. Paraffin deposits build up over time from normal production operations, although the rate at which these paraffin
builds up depends on the chemical character of the crude oil or natural gas being produced. This is performed by circulating and heating oil from a well through a
hot oil truck and then pumping it down the casing and back up the tubing to remove the deposits.

Hot oil servicing also includes the heating of oil storage tanks. The heating of storage tanks is done (1) to eliminate frozen water and other soluble waste
in the tank for which the operator’s revenue is reduced at the refinery; and (2) because heated oil flows more efficiently from the tanks to transports taking oil to
the refineries in colder weather.

As  of  December  31,  2016,  Heat  Waves  owns  and  operates  a  fleet  of  56  hot  oil  trucks.  Based  on  customer  needs  and  seasonal  conditions,  these

vehicles are deployed among the service regions as necessary to maximize their productive time.

8

Pressure  Testing – Pressure testing consists of pumping fluids into new or existing wells or other components of the well system such as flow lines to

detect leaks. Hot oil trucks and pressure trucks are used to perform this service.

Water Transfer Services

Water transfer services consist of water transfer services and water treatment services. These services commenced in first quarter with revenue being
generated  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2016  after  acquisition  of  water  transfer  assets  from  WET  and  HIIT  in  January  2016.  Water  transfer  services  accounted  for
approximately 1% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal 2016.

Water Transfer Services – Water transfer entails using high and low volume pumps, lay flat hose, aluminum pipe and manifolds to move fresh and/or
recycled water from a water source such as a pond, lake, river, stream, or storage facility to frac tanks at drilling locations to be used in connection with fracking
activities. Water transfer differs from water hauling in that water transfer is typically used in connection with well completion activities and involves moving water
via pumps, hoses and pipes whereas water hauling involves moving water via bobtail trucks or water transports for either service or completion work.

Water Treatment Services – The Company uses patented hydropath technology under a sales agreement with HydroFLOW USA to remove bacteria and

scale from water. The process uses electrical induction to reduce or eliminate down-hole scaling and corrosion in an environmentally friendly manner.

Water Hauling Services

Water hauling services include water hauling, salt water disposal, and frac tank rental services. These services are primarily provided by Dillco to

customers in the Hugoton gas field in western Kansas and northwestern Oklahoma. Water hauling services accounted for approximately 16% and 15% of the
Company’s total revenues for fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Water Hauling –  The Company currently owns or leases, and operates approximately 65 water hauling trucks and trailers equipped with pumps to move
water from/to wells, tanks and other storage facilities. A majority of the Company’s trucks consist of transports with a hauling capacity of up to 130 barrels (each
barrel being equal to 42 U.S. gallons). The trucks are used to:

(1)
(2)

(3)

Transport water to fill frac tanks on well locations,
Transport contaminated water produced as a by-product of producing wells to disposal wells, including disposal wells that we own and operate,
and
Transport drilling and completion fluids to and from well locations; following completion of fracturing operations, the trucks are used to transport
the flow-back produced as a result of the fracturing process from the well site to disposal wells.

Most wells produce residual salt or fresh water in conjunction with the extraction of the oil or natural gas. The Company’s trucks pick up water at the well
site  and  transport  it  to  a  disposal  well  for  injection  or  to  other  environmentally  sound  surface  recycling  facilities.  This  is  regular  maintenance  work  that  is
performed on a periodic basis depending on the volume of water a well produces.

Typically the Company and a customer enter into a contract for water hauling services after that customer has completed a competitive bidding process.
However, in certain instances, customers with requirements for minor or incidental water hauling services usually purchase the services on a “call out” basis and
charged according to a published schedule of rates. The Company competes for services both on a call out and contractual basis.

Disposal Well Services – The Company owns four disposal wells in Kansas and Oklahoma that allow for the injection of salt water and incidental non-

hazardous oil and natural gas wastes. These wells are used exclusively by the Company for its customers.

Our trucks frequently transport fluids to be disposed of into these disposal wells. These wells are located in proximity to our customers’ producing wells.
Most oil and natural gas wells produce varying amounts of water throughout their productive lives. In the states in which we operate, oil and natural gas wastes
and water produced from oil and natural gas wells are required by law to be disposed of in authorized facilities, including permitted water disposal wells. All of the
Company’s disposal wells are licensed by state authorities pursuant to guidelines and regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Safe Drinking
Water Act and are completed in an environmentally sound manner in permeable formations below the fresh water table.

Frac  Tank  Rental  –  The  Company  also  generates  a  small  amount  of  revenues  from  the  rental  of  frac  tanks  in  the  Hugoton  field  area.  The  Company
currently owns approximately 20 frac tanks, which can store up to 500 barrels of water and are used by oilfield operators to store fluids at the well site, including
fresh water, salt water, and acid for frac jobs, flowback, temporary production and mud storage. Frac tanks are used during all phases of the life of a producing
well. The Company generally rents frac tanks at daily rates and charges hourly rates for the transportation of the tanks to and from the well site.

Construction Services

Construction  services  consist  of  excavation,  grading  and  dirt  hauling  services.  These  services  are  primarily  provided  in  Colorado  to  help  increase
utilization  of  the  Company’s  equipment  and  personnel  during  the  slower  non-heating  months.  This  segment  also  utilizes  sub-contractors  as  needed  to
supplement Company resources. Construction services accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal 2016.

Ownership of Company Assets

The Company owns various equipment and other assets to provide its services and products. Substantially all of the equipment and personal property

assets owned by these entities are subject to security interests from loans and credit facility made to the Company.

Historically, as supply and demand requires, the Company has leased additional trucks and equipment from time to time. These leases are treated as

operating leases for accounting purposes, and the rent expense associated with these leases is reported ratably over the term of the lease.

Competitive Business Conditions

We  face  intense  competition  in  our  operations.  Competition  is  influenced  by  factors  such  as  price,  capacity,  the  quality/safety-record/availability  of
equipment and work crews, and the reputation and experience of the service provider. The Company believes that an important competitive factor in establishing
and  maintaining  long-term  customer  relationships  is  having  an  experienced,  skilled,  and  well-trained  work  force  that  is  responsive  to  our  customers’  needs.
Although we believe customers consider all of these factors, price is often the primary factor in determining which service provider is awarded work.

The demand for our services fluctuates primarily in relation to the domestic commodity price (or anticipated price) of oil and natural gas which, in turn, is
largely driven by the domestic and worldwide supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas, political events, as well as speculation within the financial markets.
Demand and prices are often volatile and difficult to predict and depend on events that are not within our control. Generally, as supply of oil and natural gas
decreases and demand increases, service and maintenance requirements increase as oil and natural gas producers drill new wells and attempt to maximize the
productivity of their existing wells to take advantage of the higher priced environment. Conversely, as the supply of commodities increase and demand and crude
oil and natural gas prices fall, oil and gas producers drill fewer wells and scale back or suspend service and maintenance work.

The  Company’s  competition  primarily  consists  of  small  and  large  regional  or  local  contractors.  The  Company  attempts  to  differentiate  itself  from  its
competition  in  large  part  through  its  range  and  quality  of  services  it  has  the  capability  to  provide.  The  Company  invests  a  significant  amount  of  capital  into
purchasing, developing, and maintaining a fleet of trucks and other equipment that are critical to the services it provides. Further, the Company concentrates on
providing services to a diverse group of major and independent oil and natural gas companies in a number of geographical areas. We believe we have been
successful using this business model and believe it will enable us to grow our business in the event the oil and gas industry has continuing need for the type of
service we provide.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

The Company serves numerous major and independent oil and natural gas companies that are active in our core areas of operations.

As of December 31, 2016, three customers each comprised more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance; at approximately 14%, 14%
and 11%, respectively. Revenues from these three customers represented 14%, 11% and 12% of total revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2016.

While the Company believes its equipment could be redeployed in the current market environment if it lost any material customers, such loss could have
an adverse effect on the Company’s business until the equipment is redeployed. We believe that the market for the Company’s services is sufficiently diversified
that it is not dependent on any single customer or a few major customers.

Seasonality 

A significant portion of the Company’s operations is impacted by seasonal factors, particularly with regard to its frac water heating and hot oiling services.
In regard to frac water heating, because customers rely on Heat Waves to heat large amounts of water for use in fracturing formations, demand for this service is
much  greater  in  the  colder  months.  Similarly,  hot  oiling  services  are  in  higher  demand  during  the  colder  months  when  they  are  needed  for  maintenance  of
existing wells and to heat oil storage tanks.

Acidizing and pressure testing are performed throughout the year with higher revenues typically during non-winter months.

Water  hauling  from  producing  wells  is  not  as  seasonal  as  our  other  services  since  wells  produce  water  whenever  they  are  pumping  regardless  of
weather conditions. Hauling of water for the drilling or fracturing of wells is also not seasonal but dependent on when customers decide to drill or complete wells.

Although they are new businesses to us, we believe water transfer services and bacteria and scaling solutions are not seasonal. However, our water

transfer services and to a certain extent our bacteria and scaling solutions, depend upon the level of drilling, well completion, and production activities.

Raw Materials 

             The Company purchases a wide variety of raw materials, parts, and components that are made by other manufacturers and suppliers for our use. The
Company is not dependent on any single source of supply for those parts, supplies or materials. However, there are a limited number of vendors for propane and
certain  acids  and  chemicals.  The  Company  utilizes  a  limited  number  of  suppliers  and  service  providers  available  to  fabricate  and/or  construct  the  trucks  and
equipment used in its hot oiling, frac water heating, and acid related services.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts

The Company enters into agreements with local property owners where its disposal wells are located by which the Company generally agrees to pay
those property owners a fixed amount per month plus a percentage of revenues derived from utilizing those wells. The terms of these agreements are separately
negotiated with the given property owner, and during its 2015 and 2016 fiscal years the total amount paid under these various agreements by the Company was
immaterial to the Company and its business operations.

As is the situation with all companies in the frac water heating service business, we rely on certain procedures and practices in performing our services.
In  2016,  we  were  issued  our  first  patent  relating  to  an  aspect  of  the  frac  water  heating  process.  We  have  other  patent  applications  pending  regarding  other
procedures used in our process of heating frac water. We are aware that one unrelated company has been awarded four patents related, in part, to a process for
heating of frac water. For a further discussion of this, see Item 3 – Litigation, below.

Pursuant to a Sales Agreement with HydroFLOW USA (“Sales Agreement”), HWWM has the exclusive right to sell or rent patented hydropath devices in
connection  with  bacteria  deactivation  and  scale  treatment  services  for  treating  injection  and  disposal  wells,  frack  water  and  recycled  water  in  the  oil  and  gas
industry to customers in the United States. The hydropath technology is owned by HydroPath Holdings Limited. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company
is  required  to  pay  royalties  on  certain  rental  transactions  and  must  meet  certain  annual  purchase  commitments  in  order  to  maintain  the  exclusivity  provision
under  the  Sales  Agreement.  As  of  March  31,  2017,  no  royalties  have  been  paid  under  the  Sales  agreement  and  the  Company  has  met  its  2016  purchase
commitments required to maintain its exclusivity provision.

Government Regulation

The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  a  variety  of  government  regulations  ranging  from  environmental  to  OSHA  to  the  Department  of
Transportation. Our operations are also subject to stringent federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
relating to health and safety or the protection of the environment. These federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment,
wildlife  protection,  historic  preservation,  and  health  and  safety  are  extensive  and  changing.  The  recent  trend  in  environmental  legislation  and  regulation  is
generally toward stricter standards, and we expect that this trend will continue as the governmental agencies issue and amend existing regulations. Failure to
comply with these laws and regulations as they currently exist or may be amended in the future may result in the assessment of substantial administrative, civil
and criminal penalties, as well as the issuance of injunctions limiting or prohibiting activities. Strict adherence with these regulatory requirements increases our
cost of doing business and consequently affects our profitability. The Company does not believe that it is in material violation of any regulations that would have a
significant negative impact on the Company’s operations. 

Through the routine course of providing services, the Company handles and stores bulk quantities of hazardous materials. If leaks or spills of hazardous
materials  handled,  transported  or  stored  by  us  occur,  the  Company  may  be  responsible  under  applicable  environmental  laws  for  costs  of  remediating  any
damage to the surface or sub-surface (including aquifers).

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” and comparable state statutes
impose strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of “hazardous substances”
found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the government to file claims requiring cleanup actions, demands for reimbursement for government-incurred cleanup
costs, or natural resource damages, or for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused
by  hazardous  substances  released  into  the  environment.  The  Federal  Resource  Conservation  and  Recovery  Act,  or  RCRA,  and  comparable  state  statutes
govern  the  disposal  of  “solid  waste”  and  “hazardous  waste”  and  authorize  the  imposition  of  substantial  fines  and  penalties  for  noncompliance,  as  well  as
requirements  for  corrective  actions.  Although  CERCLA  currently  excludes  petroleum  from  its  definition  of  “hazardous  substance,”  state  laws  affecting  our
operations may impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum-related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as
“non-hazardous,”  such  exploration  and  production  wastes  could  be  reclassified  as  hazardous  wastes  thereby  making  such  wastes  subject  to  more  stringent
handling and disposal requirements. CERCLA, RCRA and comparable state statutes can impose liability for clean-up of sites and disposal of substances found
on drilling and production sites long after operations on such sites have been completed. Other statutes relating to the storage and handling of pollutants include
the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, which requires certain owners and operators of facilities that store or otherwise handle oil to prepare and implement spill
response plans relating to the potential discharge of oil into surface waters. The OPA contains numerous requirements relating to prevention of, reporting of, and
response to oil spills into waters of the United States. State laws mandate oil cleanup programs with respect to contaminated soil. A failure to comply with OPA’s
requirements or inadequate cooperation during a spill response action may subject a responsible party to civil or criminal enforcement actions.

In  the  course  of  the  Company’s  operations,  it  does  not  typically  generate  materials  that  are  considered  “hazardous  substances.”  One  exception,
however, would be spills that occur prior to well treatment materials being circulated down hole. For example, if the Company spills acid on a roadway as a result
of  a  vehicle  accident  in  the  course  of  providing  well  enhancement/stimulation  services,  or  if  a  tank  with  acid  leaks  prior  to  down  hole  circulation,  the  spilled
material may be considered a “hazardous substance.” In this respect, the Company may occasionally be considered to “generate” materials that are regulated as
hazardous substances and, as a result, may incur CERCLA liability for cleanup costs. Also, claims may be filed for personal injury and property damage allegedly
caused by the release of hazardous substances or other pollutants.

The Clean Water Act (the “CWA”), and comparable state statutes, impose restrictions and controls on the discharge of pollutants, including spills and
leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the
terms of a permit issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) or an analogous state agency. The CWA regulates storm water run-off from oil and
natural gas facilities and requires a storm water discharge permit for certain activities. Such a permit requires the regulated facility to monitor and sample storm
water run-off from its operations. The CWA and regulations implemented thereunder also prohibit discharges of dredged and fill material in wetlands and other
waters  of  the  United  States  unless  authorized  by  an  appropriately  issued  permit.  The  CWA  and  comparable  state  statutes  provide  for  civil,  criminal  and
administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of oil and other pollutants and impose liability on parties responsible for those discharges for the costs of
cleaning up any environmental damage caused by the release and for natural resource damages resulting from the release.

The  Safe  Drinking  Water  Act  (the  “SDWA”),  and  the  Underground  Injection  Control  (“UIC”)  program  promulgated  thereunder,  regulate  the  drilling  and
operation of subsurface injection wells, such as the disposal wells owned and operated by the Company. The EPA directly administers the UIC program in some
states and in others the responsibility for the program has been delegated to the state. The program requires that a permit be obtained before drilling a disposal
well.  Violation  of  these  regulations  and/or  contamination  of  groundwater  by  oil  and  natural  gas  drilling,  production,  and  related  operations  may  result  in  fines,
penalties, and remediation costs, among other sanctions and liabilities under the SWDA and state laws. In addition, third party claims may be filed by landowners
and other parties claiming damages for alternative water supplies, property damages, and bodily injury.

Regulations  in  the  states  in  which  the  Company  owns  and  operates  water  injection  wells  (Kansas  and  Oklahoma)  require  us  to  obtain  a  permit  to
operate each of our disposal wells. The applicable regulatory agency may suspend or modify one of our permits if the Company’s well operations are likely to
result in pollution of freshwater, substantial violation of permit conditions or applicable rules, or if the well leaks into the environment.

The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended the SDWA to exclude hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection” under certain
circumstances. However, the repeal of this exclusion has been advocated by certain advocacy organizations and others in the public. The EPA at the request of
Congress  is  currently  conducting  a  national  study  examining  the  potential  impacts  of  hydraulic  fracturing  on  drinking  water  resources  and  issued  a  draft
assessment report in June 2015. The EPA has asked the EPA Science Advisory Board (“SAB”) to peer review the draft assessment report.

We  incur,  and  expect  to  continue  to  incur,  capital  and  operating  costs  to  comply  with  the  environmental  laws  and  regulations  described  herein.  The

technical requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive to implement.

If  new  federal  or  state  laws  or  regulations  that  significantly  restrict  hydraulic  fracturing  are  adopted,  such  legal  requirements  could  result  in  delays,
eliminate  certain  drilling  and  injection  activities,  make  it  more  difficult  or  costly  for  our  customers  to  perform  fracturing  and  increase  their  and  our  costs  of
compliance and doing business. It is also possible that drilling and injection operations utilizing our services could adversely affect the environment, which could
result in a requirement to perform investigations or clean-ups or in the incurrence of other unexpected material costs or liabilities.

Significant studies and research have been devoted to climate change and global warming, and climate change has developed into a major political issue
in the United States and globally. Certain research suggests that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and pose a threat to the environment.
Recent scientific research and political debate has focused in part on carbon dioxide and methane incidental to oil and natural gas exploration and production.
Many state governments have enacted legislation directed at controlling greenhouse gas emissions, and future state and federal legislation and regulation could
impose  additional  restrictions  or  requirements  in  connection  with  our  operations  and  favor  use  of  alternative  energy  sources,  which  could  increase  operating
costs and decrease demand for oil products. As such, our business could be materially adversely affected by domestic and international legislation targeted at
controlling climate change.

We  are  also  subject  to  a  number  of  federal  and  state  laws  and  regulations,  including  the  federal  Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Act,  or  OSHA,  and
comparable  state  laws,  whose  purpose  is  to  protect  the  health  and  safety  of  workers.  In  addition,  the  OSHA  hazard  communication  standard,  the  EPA
community  right-to-know  regulations  under  Title  III  of  the  federal  Superfund  Amendment  and  Reauthorization  Act  and  comparable  state  statutes  require  that
information be maintained concerning hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local
government authorities and citizens.

Because  our  trucks  travel  over  public  highways  to  get  to  customers’  wells,  the  Company  is  subject  to  the  regulations  of  the  Department  of
Transportation.  These  regulations  are  very  comprehensive  and  cover  a  wide  variety  of  subjects  from  the  maintenance  and  operation  of  vehicles  to  driver
qualifications  to  safety.  Violations  of  these  regulations  can  result  in  penalties  ranging  from  monetary  fines  to  a  restriction  on  the  use  of  the  vehicles.  Under
regulations  effective  July  1,  2010,  an  uncured  violation  of  regulations  could  result  in  a  shutdown  of  all  of  the  vehicles  of  Heat  Waves,  Dillco  or  HWWM.  The
Company does not believe it is in violation of Department of Transportation regulations at this time that would result in a shutdown of vehicles.

Some states and certain municipalities have regulated, or are considering regulating hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) which, if accomplished, could impact
certain of our operations. While the Company does not believe that existing regulations and contemplated actions to limit or prohibit fracking have impacted its
activities to date, there can be no assurance that these actions, if taken on a wider scale, may not adversely impact the Company’s business operations and
revenues.

Employees

As of March 24, 2017, the Company employed 204 full time employees. Of these employees, 140 are employed by Heat Waves, 34 by Dillco, 20 by

HWWM, and 10 are employed by Enservco. From time to time, the Company may hire contractors to perform work.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company’s securities are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including among other items the risk factors described below. The

below risk factors are intended to generally describe certain risks that could materially affect the Company and its current business operations and activities.

You  should  carefully  consider  the  risks  described  below  and  elsewhere  herein  in  connection  with  any  decision  whether  to  acquire,  hold  or  sell  the
Company’s  securities. The  following  list  identifies  and  briefly  summarizes  certain  risk  but  should  not  be  viewed  as  complete  or  comprehensive.   If  any  of  the
contingencies discussed in the following paragraphs or other materially adverse events actually occur, the business, financial condition and results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or a significant part of your
investment.

Operations Related Risks

Our business may be materially impacted by seasonal weather conditions.

Our businesses, particularly our frac heating and hot oil services, can be impacted by weather conditions and temperatures. Unseasonably warm weather
during winter months can reduce demand for the heating services and result in higher operating costs due to need to retain equipment operators during these
low demand periods. The Company has experienced unseasonably warm weather during parts of its heating season during the years ended December 31, 2016
and 2015, which has impacted well enhancement service revenues and profits. Management makes concerted efforts to reduce costs during these low demand
periods by utilizing operators in other business segments, reducing hours, and some instances utilizing seasonal layoffs.

Further,  during  the  winter  months,  our  customers  may  delay  operations  or  we  may  not  be  able  to  operate  or  move  our  equipment  between  locations
during periods of heavy snow, ice or rain, and during the spring some areas impose transportation restrictions due to the muddy conditions caused by the spring
thaws.

We may be unable to implement price increases or maintain existing prices on our core services.

We periodically seek to increase the prices of our services to offset rising costs and to generate higher returns for our stockholders. Currently, the prices
we are able to charge for our services and the demand for our services are depressed. We operate in a very competitive industry and, as a result, we are not
always successful in raising or maintaining our existing prices. Additionally, during periods of increased market demand, a significant amount of new equipment
may enter the market, which would also put pressure on the pricing of our services. Even when we are able to increase our prices, we may not be able to do so
at  a  rate  that  is  sufficient  to  offset  rising  costs.  Also,  we  may  not  be  able  to  successfully  increase  prices  without  adversely  affecting  our  activity  levels.  The
inability  to  maintain  our  prices  or  to  increase  the  prices  of  our  services  to  offset  rising  costs  increase  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,
financial position and results of operations.

We participate in a capital-intensive industry. We may not be able to finance future growth of our operations or future acquisitions.

Our business activities require substantial capital expenditures. If our cash flow from operating activities and borrowings under our existing credit facility
were not sufficient to fund our capital expenditure budget, we would be required to reduce these expenditures or to fund these expenditures through new debt or
equity issuances.

Our ability to raise new debt or equity capital or to refinance or restructure our debt at any given time depends, among other things, on the condition of
the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Also, the terms of existing or future debt or equity instruments could further restrict our business
operations. The inability to finance future growth could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increased labor costs or the unavailability of skilled workers could hurt our operations.

Companies  in  our  industry,  including  us,  are  dependent  upon  the  available  labor  pool  of  skilled  workers.  We  compete  with  other  oilfield  services
businesses  and  other  employers  to  attract  and  retain  qualified  personnel  with  the  technical  skills  and  experience  required  to  provide  our  customers  with  the
highest  quality  service.  We  are  also  subject  to  the  Fair  Labor  Standards  Act,  which  governs  such  matters  as  minimum  wage,  overtime  and  other  working
conditions, and which can increase our labor costs or subject us to liabilities to our employees. A shortage in the labor pool of skilled workers or other general
inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain personnel and could require us to
enhance our wage and benefits packages. Labor costs may increase in the future or we may not be able to reduce wages when demand and pricing falls, and
such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, we have experienced a high employee turnover rate. Any difficulty we experience replacing or adding workers could adversely

affect our business.

We believe that the high turnover rate in our industry is attributable to the nature of oilfield services work, which is physically demanding and performed
outdoors, and to the seasonality of certain of our segments. As a result, workers may choose to pursue employment in areas that offer a more desirable work
environment at wage rates that are competitive with ours. The potential inability or lack of desire by workers to commute to our facilities and job sites, as well as
the competition for workers from competitors or other industries, are factors that could negatively affect our ability to attract and retain skilled workers. We may
not be able to recruit, train and retain an adequate number of workers to replace departing workers. The inability to maintain an adequate workforce could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation and may result in increased future tax liability.

Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, contain rules that limit the ability of a corporation that undergoes
an “ownership change” to utilize its net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. An
“ownership change” is generally defined as any change in ownership of more than 50% of a corporation’s stock over a rolling three-year period by stockholders
that own (directly or indirectly) 5% or more of the stock of the corporation, or arising from a new issuance of stock by the corporation. If an ownership change
occurs,  Section  382  generally  imposes  an  annual  limitation  on  the  use  of  pre-ownership  change  net  operating  losses,  or  NOLs,  credits  and  certain  other  tax
attributes to offset taxable income earned after the ownership change. The annual limitation is equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax exempt rate
and the value of the corporation’s stock immediately before the ownership change. This annual limitation may be adjusted to reflect any unused annual limitation
for prior years and certain recognized built-in gains for the year. In addition, Section 383 generally limits the amount of tax liability in any post-ownership change
year that can be reduced by pre-ownership change tax credit carryforwards. If we were to experience an "ownership change," this could result in increased U.S.
federal income tax liability for us if we generate taxable income after the ownership change. Limitations on the use of NOLs and other tax attributes could also
increase  our  state  tax  liabilities.  The  use  of  our  tax  attributes  will  also  be  limited  to  the  extent  that  we  do  not  generate  positive  taxable  income  in  future  tax
periods.  As  a  result  of  these  limitations,  we  may  be  unable  to  offset  future  taxable  income,  if  any,  with  NOLs  before  such  NOLs  expire.  Accordingly,  these
limitations may increase our federal and state income tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2016, we had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $15.7 million and state NOLs of approximately $14.8 million.

Our business depends on domestic (United States) spending by the crude oil and natural gas industry which has suffered significant negative
price volatility since July 2014, and such volatility may continue; our business has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by industry and
financial market conditions that are beyond our control.

We depend on our customers’ ability and willingness to make operating and capital expenditures to explore, develop and produce crude oil and natural
gas  in  the  United  States.  Customers’  expectations  for  future  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  prices,  as  well  as  the  availability  of  capital  for  operating  and  capital
expenditures, may cause them to curtail spending, thereby reducing demand for our services and equipment. Major declines in oil and natural gas prices since
July 2014 (when prices were at approximately $100 per barrel) have resulted in substantial declines in capital spending and drilling programs across the industry.
As a result of the declines in oil and natural gas prices, most exploration and production companies shut down or substantially reduced drilling programs and
required  service  providers  to  make  pricing  concessions.  Over  the  two  years  ended  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  has  offered  pricing  concessions  to  a
number of customers. Typically, these concessions have been made with the intent to maintain existing service volumes and/or develop additional business.

Industry conditions and specifically the market price for crude oil and natural gas are influenced by numerous domestic and global factors over which the
Company has no control, such as the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions, weather conditions, political
instability in oil and natural gas producing countries, and merger and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers. The volatility of the oil and natural
gas industry and the consequent impact on commodity prices as well as exploration and production activity could adversely impact the level of drilling and activity
by  some  of  our  customers.  Where  declining  prices  lead  to  reduced  exploration  and  development  activities  in  the  Company’s  market  areas,  the  reduction  in
exploration and development activities also may have a negative long-term impact on the Company’s business. Continued decline in oil and natural gas prices
may result in increased pressure from our customers to make additional pricing concessions in the future and may impact our borrowing arrangements with our
principal bank. There can be no assurance that the prices we charge to our customers will return to former levels.

There  has  also  been  significant  political  pressures  for  the  United  States  economy  to  reduce  its  dependence  on  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  due  to  the
perceived  impacts  on  climate  change.  Furthermore  there  have  been  significant  political  and  regulatory  efforts  to  reduce  or  eliminate  hydraulic  fracturing
operations in certain of the Company’s service areas, particularly in Colorado. These activities may make oil and gas investment and production less attractive.

Higher oil and gas prices do not necessarily result in increased drilling activity because our customers’ expectation of future prices also drives demand
for drilling services. Oil and gas prices, as well as demand for the Company’s services, also depend upon other factors that are beyond the Company’s control,
including the following:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas;
political pressures against crude oil and natural gas exploration and production;
cost of exploring for, producing, and delivering oil and natural gas;
expectations regarding future energy prices;
advancements in exploration and development technology;
adoption or repeal of laws regulating oil and gas production in the U.S.;
imposition or lifting of economic sanctions against foreign companies;
weather conditions;
rate of discovery of new oil and natural gas reserves;
tax policy regarding the oil and gas industry;
development and use of alternative energy sources; and
the ability of oil and gas companies to generate funds or otherwise obtain external capital for projects and production operations.

Ongoing  volatility  and  uncertainty  in  the  domestic  and  global  economic  and  political  environments  have  caused  the  oilfield  services  industry  to
experience volatility in terms of demand. While our management is generally optimistic for the continuing development of the onshore North American oil and
gas  industry,  there  are  a  number  of  political  and  economic  pressures  negatively  impacting  the  economics  of  continuing  production  from  some  existing  wells,
future  drilling  operations,  and  the  willingness  of  banks  and  investors  to  provide  capital  to  participants  in  the  oil  and  gas  industry.  These  cuts  in  spending  will
continue to curtail drilling programs as well as discretionary spending on well services, and will continue to result in a reduction in the demand for the Company’s
services,  the  rates  we  can  charge,  and  equipment  utilization.  In  addition,  certain  of  the  Company’s  customers  could  become  unable  to  pay  their  suppliers,
including the Company. Any of these conditions or events could adversely affect our operating results.

Our success depends on key members of our management, the loss of any  executive or key personnel could  disrupt our business operations.

We depend to a large extent on the services of certain of our executive officers. The loss of the services of Rick Kasch, Austin Peitz, Robert Devers or
other key personnel, could disrupt our operations. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kasch, Peitz and Devers, that contain,
among  other  things  non-compete  and  confidentiality  provisions,  we  may  not  be  able  to  enforce  the  non-compete  and/or  confidentiality  provisions  in  the
employment agreements.

We depend on several significant customers, and a loss of one or more significant customers could adversely affect our results of

operations. 

The Company’s customers consist primarily of major and independent oil and natural gas companies. During fiscal year 2016, three of the Company’s
customers  accounted  for  37%  of  consolidated  revenues  and  during  fiscal  year  2015,  two  of  the  Company’s  customers  accounted  for  21%  of  consolidated
revenues. No other customer exceeded 10% of revenues.

The Company’s top five customers accounted for approximately 52% and 38% of its total annual revenues for 2016 and 2015, respectively. The loss of
any  one  of  these  customers  or  a  sustained  decrease  in  demand  by  any  of  such  customers  could  result  in  a  substantial  loss  of  revenues  and  could  have  a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

While the Company believes our equipment could be redeployed in the current market environment if we lost any material customers, such loss could
have  an  adverse  effect  on  the  Company’s  business  until  the  equipment  is  redeployed.  We  believe  that  the  market  for  the  Company’s  services  is  sufficiently
diversified that it is not dependent on any single customer or a few major customers.

Demand for the majority of our services is substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by the domestic oil and natural gas industry.
The Company has no influence over its customers’ capital expenditures. On-going economic volatility could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Beginning in the second half of 2014, oil prices have declined substantially from historical highs. This caused many of our customers to reduce or delay
their oil and natural gas exploration and production spending in 2015, which consequently has reduced their demand for our services, and exerted downward
pressure  on  the  prices  that  we  charged  for  our  services  and  products.  Given  various  domestic  and  global  factors,  oil  and  natural  gas  prices  may  remain
depressed for the foreseeable future.

Also, under an environment of increasing oil and natural gas prices it can lead to increasing costs of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas.
Though the addition of frac stimulation into the domestic oil and gas industry has somewhat reduced the overall costs of producing oil and natural gas, the price
of drill rigs, pipe, other equipment, fluids, and oil field services and the cost to companies like the Company of providing those services, has generally increased
with significant increases in oil and natural gas prices. The resulting reduction in cash flows being experienced by our customers during the past months due to
the decline in oil prices and the increase of the costs of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas as noted above could have significant adverse effects on
the financial condition of some of our customers. This could result in project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and delay in, or
nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could reduce our earnings and cash available for operations.

We are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and the importation and use of hazardous materials,
including  laws  and  regulations  governing  air  emissions,  water  discharges  and  waste  management.  Government  authorities  have  the  power  to  enforce
compliance with their regulations, and violations are subject to fines, injunctions or both. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and operating costs to
comply  with  environmental  laws  and  regulations.  The  technical  requirements  of  these  laws  and  regulations  are  becoming  increasingly  complex,  stringent  and
expensive to implement. These laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety. Strict liability can
render  a  party  liable  for  damages  without  regard  to  negligence  or  fault  on  the  part  of  the  party.  Some  environmental  laws  provide  for  joint  and  several  strict
liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances.

The  Company  uses  hazardous  substances  and  transports  hazardous  wastes  in  its  operations.  Accordingly,  we  could  become  subject  to  potentially
material liabilities relating to the investigation and cleanup of contaminated properties, and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of
exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In addition, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, new laws and regulations, the discovery of
previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require the Company to incur costs and penalties, or become the
basis  of  new  or  increased  liabilities  that  could  reduce  its  earnings  and  cash  available  for  operations.  The  Company  believes  it  is  currently  in  substantial
compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Intense competition within the well services industry may adversely affect our ability to market our services.

The  well  services  industry  is  intensely  competitive.  It  includes  numerous  small  companies  capable  of  competing  effectively  in  our  markets  on  a  local
basis, as well as several large companies that possess substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company’s larger competitors
have greater resources that allow those competitors to compete more effectively than the Company. The Company’s small competitors may be able to react to
market conditions more quickly. The amount of equipment available may exceed demand at some point in time, which could result in active price competition.

The Company could be impacted by unfavorable results of legal proceedings, such as being found to have infringed on intellectual property

rights. 

As is the situation with all companies in the frac water heating service business, we rely on certain procedures and practices in performing our services.
In  2016,  we  were  issued  our  first  patent  relating  to  an  aspect  of  the  frac  water  heating  process.  We  have  other  patent  applications  pending  regarding  other
procedures used in our process of heating frac water. We are aware that one unrelated company (the “Patent Owner”) has been awarded four patents related, in
part, to a process for heating of frac water. The Patent Owner is currently in litigation with two different groups of energy companies that are seeking to invalidate
the first patent. A North Dakota court has issued a summary judgment that the first patent owned by the Patent Owner is invalid. The same Court also found that
this first patent is unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the Patent Owner and/or the inventor. The Patent Owner has filed an appeal with the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to appeal this judgment and other adverse judgments and orders by the North Dakota court. As of March 30, 2017, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not issued a ruling on this case.

In  October  2014,  the  Company  was  served  with  a  complaint  that  alleges  that  Enservco  and  Heat  Waves,  in  offering  and  selling  frac  water  heating
services, infringed and induced others to infringe two patents owned by the Patent Owner including the first patent ruled invalid and unenforceable by the North
Dakota Court. The complaint seeks various remedies including injunctive relief and unspecified damages and relates to only a portion of Heat Waves’ frac water
heating services. Heat Waves has answered the complaint, denied the Patent Owner’s allegations of infringement and asserted counterclaims asking the Court
to  find,  among  other  things,  that  it  does  not  infringe  either  patent  and  that  both  patents  are  invalid.  The  Patent  Owner  has  replied  to  and  denied  those
counterclaims.  In  July  2015,  a  Colorado  Court  granted  a  joint  request  by  Enservco,  Heat  Waves  and  the  Patent  Owner  to  stay  the  case.  The  lawsuit  is  now
stayed pending the outcome of the appeal by the Patent Owner of the summary judgment invalidating the Patent Owner’s first patent as set forth above. (See
Item 3 – Litigation, for more information about this matter.)

However, if Enservco and/or Heat Waves are found to be infringing, they could be liable for the payment of substantial damages/royalties and attorneys’

fees, and/or be subject to a preliminary or permanent injunction prohibiting Heat Waves from heating frac water in a manner it may have been using.

Our  operations  are  subject  to  inherent  risks,  some  of  which  are  beyond  our  control.  These  risks  may  be  self-insured,  or  may  not  be  fully

covered under our insurance policies, but to the extent not covered, are self-insured by the Company.

Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, such as, but not limited to, accidents, blowouts, explosions, fires and

oil spills. These conditions can cause:

■ Personal injury or loss of life,
■ Damage to or destruction of property, equipment and the environment, and
■ Suspension of operations by our customers.

The occurrence of a significant event or adverse claim in excess of the insurance coverage that we maintain or that is not covered by insurance could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, claims for loss of oil and natural gas production and damage to
formations can occur in the well services industry. Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and services are being
used may result in us being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.

The  Company  maintains  insurance  coverage  that  we  believe  to  be  customary  in  the  industry  against  these  hazards.  In  addition,  in  June  2015,  the
Company  became  self-insured  under  its  Employee  Group  Medical  Plan  for  the  first  $75,000  per  individual  participant.  However,  we  do  not  have  insurance
against  all  foreseeable  risks,  either  because  insurance  is  not  available  or  because  of  the  high  premium  costs.  The  occurrence  of  an  event  not  fully  insured
against, or the failure of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate
insurance in the future at reasonable rates. Insurance may not be available to cover any or all of the risks to which we are subject, or, even if available, it may be
inadequate, or insurance premiums or other costs could rise significantly in the future so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive. It is likely that, in our
insurance renewals, our premiums and deductibles will be higher, and certain insurance coverage either will be unavailable or considerably more expensive than
it  has  been  in  the  recent  past.  In  addition,  our  insurance  is  subject  to  coverage  limits,  and  some  policies  exclude  coverage  for  damages  resulting  from
environmental contamination.

While our growth strategy includes appropriate acquisitions, w e  may  not  be  successful  in  identifying,  making  and  integrating  business  or

asset acquisitions, if any, in the future.

We anticipate that a component of our growth strategy may be to make geographically focused acquisitions of businesses or assets aimed to strengthen
our presence and expand services offered in selected regional markets. Pursuit of this strategy may be restricted by the on-going volatility and uncertainty within
the  credit  markets  which  may  significantly  limit  the  availability  of  funds  for  such  acquisitions.  Our  ability  to  use  shares  of  our  common  stock  in  an  acquisition
transaction may be adversely affected by the volatility in the price of our stock.

In  addition  to  restricted  funding  availability,  the  success  of  this  strategy  will  depend  on  our  ability  to  identify  suitable  acquisition  candidates  and  to
negotiate acceptable financial and other terms. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so. The success of an acquisition also depends on our ability to
perform adequate due diligence before the acquisition and on our ability to integrate the acquisition after it is completed. While the Company intends to commit
significant resources to ensure that it conducts comprehensive due diligence, there can be no assurance that all potential risks and liabilities will be identified in
connection  with  an  acquisition.  Similarly,  while  we  expect  to  commit  substantial  resources,  including  management  time  and  effort,  to  integrating  acquired
businesses into ours, there is no assurance that we will be successful in integrating these businesses. In particular, it is important that the Company be able to
retain  both  key  personnel  of  the  acquired  business  and  its  customer  base.  A  loss  of  either  key  personnel  or  customers  could  negatively  impact  the  future
operating results of any acquired business.

In January 2016, HWWM, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired various assets including the water transfer assets of HIIT and WET for
approximately  $4.3  million  dollars.  The  Company’s  ability  to  successfully  integrate  these  acquisitions  and  expand  the  water  transfer  and  bacteria  and  scaling
solutions  services  is  a  going  to  be  challenging  given  the  current  industry  environment.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  successfully  integrate  these
acquisitions and expand these services.

Compliance with climate change legislation or initiatives could negatively impact our business.

The  U.S.  Congress  has  considered  legislation  to  mandate  reductions  of  greenhouse  gas  emissions  and  certain  states  have  already  implemented,  or
may be in the process of implementing, similar legislation. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court has held in its decisions that carbon dioxide can be regulated as
an “air pollutant” under the Clean Air Act, which could result in future regulations even if the U.S. Congress does not adopt new legislation regarding emissions.
At this time, it is not possible to predict how legislation or new federal or state government mandates regarding the emission of greenhouse gases could impact
our  business;  however,  any  such  future  laws  or  regulations  could  require  us  or  our  customers  to  devote  potentially  material  amounts  of  capital  or  other
resources in order to comply with such regulations. These expenditures could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or
cash flows.

Anti-fracking initiatives could adversely impact our business.

Some states and certain municipalities have regulated, or are considering regulating hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) which, if accomplished, could impact
certain  of  our  operations.  While  the  Company  does  not  believe  that  these  regulations  and  contemplated  actions  to  limit  or  prohibit  fracking  have  impacted  its
activities to date, there can be no assurance that these actions, if taken on a wider scale, may not adversely impact the Company’s business operations and
revenues.

Debt Related Risks

Our  indebtedness,  which  is  currently  collateralized  by  substantially  all  of  our  assets,  could  restrict  our  operatio ns  and  make  us  more

vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company owed approximately $23.8 million to banks and financial institutions under various collateralized debt.

22

Our current and future indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

■ Impair our ability to make investments and obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate

purposes,

■ Limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to make

principal and interest payments on our indebtedness,

■ Make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business, our industry or the economy in general as a substantial portion of our operating cash flow will
be required to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, making it more difficult to react to changes in our business and in industry
and market conditions,

■ Put us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors that have less debt, or

■ Increase our vulnerability to interest rate increases to the extent that we incur additional variable rate indebtedness, a variable rate that has increased

as a result of the Sixth Amendment to our lending agreement with PNC Bank.  

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or are otherwise unable to obtain the funds required to make principal and interest payments on our
indebtedness,  or  if  we  otherwise  fail  to  comply  with  the  various  debt  service  covenants  and/or  reporting  covenants  in  the  business  loan  agreements  or  other
instruments governing our current or any future indebtedness, we could be in default under the terms of our credit facilities or such other instruments.

The availability of borrowings under our credit facility is based on a borrowing base which is subject to redetermination by our lender based on a number
of factors and the lender’s internal credit criteria. In the event the amount outstanding under our credit facility at any time exceeds the borrowing base at such
time, we may be required to repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings on an accelerated basis.

In the event of a default, the holders of our indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed under those instruments to be due and payable
together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments there under and we or one or more of
our subsidiaries could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Any of the foregoing consequences could restrict our ability to grow our business and cause the
value of our common stock to decline.

We  may  be  unable  to  meet  the  obligations  of  various  financial  covenants  that  are  contained  in  the  terms  of  our  loan  agreements  with  our

principal lender, PNC Bank, National Association.

The  Company’s  agreements  with  PNC  impose  various  obligations  and  financial  covenants  on  the  Company.  The  outstanding  amount  under  the
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, entered into with PNC in September 2014 and amended various times, is due in full on April
30, 2018. The revolving credit agreement with PNC has a variable interest rate and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

Further, the related agreements with PNC impose various financial covenants on the Company including maintaining a prescribed fixed charge coverage
ratio,  maximum  leverage  ratio,  and  limit  the  Company’s  ability  to  incur  additional  debt  or  operating  lease  obligations.  The  depressed  conditions  in  the  oil  and
natural gas industry and the resultant reduction in drilling activity in our service areas has made it more difficult to meet our financial covenants.

On  March  31,  2017,  we  entered  into  the  tenth  amendment  to  our  2014  Credit  Agreement  with  PNC.  In  connection  with  such  amendment,  PNC  has
required us to (among other things) raise $1 million of subordinated debt by May 15, 2017. In addition, the amendment accelerated the maturity date of the loan
from  September  12,  2019  to  April  30,  2018.  Thus,  beginning  in  May  2017,  the  outstanding  loan  with  PNC  will  be  classified  as  a  current  liability.  See
“Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources.”  Although  the  Company  has
obtained  waivers  of  financial  covenants  or  modifications  to  our  credit  agreements  in  the  past  when  we  have  failed  to  meet  specific  provisions  (including  for
various periods in the 2016 fiscal year), there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain these waivers or modifications in the future. If the Company is
unable  to  comply  with  its  obligations  and  covenants  under  the  2014  Credit  Agreement  and  it  declares  an  event  of  default,  all  of  its  obligations  to  PNC  could
become immediately due. In addition, considering our limited financial resources and reduced operating results due to the depressed oil and gas markets, we
cannot assure investors that the Company will be successful in extending or replacing the 2014 Credit Agreement on its new maturity date. Failure to extend,
replace or repay the loan in full at maturity will likely force us to consider a sale of the Company.

The  variable  rate  indebtedness  with  PNC  subjects  us  to  interest  rate  risk,  which  could  cause  our  debt  service  obligations  to  increase

significantly.

The Company’s borrowings through PNC bear interest at variable rates, exposing the Company to interest rate risk. In September 2015, the Company
entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement with a notional balance of $10 million in conjunction with the senior revolving credit facility with PNC bank. The
Company has decided not to hedge against the interest rate risk associated with the remaining balance of the senior revolving credit facility (with a maximum
available balance of $30 million). We may increase, decrease or terminate some or all of these hedging arrangements in the future. Depending on our overall
hedging level, our debt service obligations could increase significantly in the event of large increases in interest rates. The Sixth Amendment to our 2014 Credit
Agreement with PNC resulted in (among other things) an increase in our variable interest rate by 1.75% for the balance of the term of the agreement.

Our debt obligations, which may increase in the future, may reduce our financial and operating flexibility.

As of December 31, 2016, we had borrowed approximately $23.2 million under our senior revolving credit facility and had approximately $4.5 million of
borrowing  capacity  available  under  this  facility.  Although  the  Company  plans  to  utilize  cash  flow  from  operations  during  the  first  half  of  2017  to  reduce  our
outstanding borrowings, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. If the Company is unable to reduce debt as planned or new debt or other
liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase.

A high level of indebtedness subjects us to a number of adverse risks. In particular, a high level of indebtedness may make it more likely that a reduction
in  the  borrowing  base  of  our  credit  facility  following  a  periodic  redetermination  could  require  us  to  repay  a  portion  of  outstanding  borrowings,  may  impair  our
ability to obtain additional financing in the future, and increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. In addition, we may be required to devote a
significant portion of our cash flows to servicing our debt, and we are subject to interest rate risk under our credit facility, which bears interest at a variable rate
and increased by 1.75% as a result of the Sixth Amendment. Any further increase in our interest rates (whether by amendment to our 2014 Credit Agreement or
as the result of economic conditions) could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Our ability to meet our debt obligations and to reduce our level of indebtedness depends on our future performance. General economic conditions, oil and
natural gas prices and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and our future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. If we
do  not  have  sufficient  funds  on  hand  to  pay  our  debt  when  due,  we  may  be  required  to  seek  a  waiver  or  amendment  from  our  lenders,  refinance  our
indebtedness,  incur  additional  indebtedness,  sell  assets  or  sell  additional  shares  of  securities.  We  may  not  be  able  to  complete  such  transactions  on  terms
acceptable to us, or at all. Our failure to generate sufficient funds to pay our debts or to undertake any of these actions successfully could result in a default on
our debt obligations, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

We have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Stockholders may not receive funds without selling their

shares.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to
finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including
our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment opportunities. In addition, we have agreed with PNC, our principal
lender  that  we  will  not  pay  any  cash  dividends  on  our  common  stock  until  our  obligations  to  PNC  are  paid  in  full.  Accordingly,  realization  of  a  gain  on  a
shareholder’s investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock.

Our board of directors can, without stockholder approval, cause preferred stock to be issued on terms that adversely affect holders of our

common stock.

Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which none are issued
and  outstanding  as  of  the  date  of  this  annual  report.  Also,  our  board  of  directors,  without  stockholder  approval,  may  determine  the  price,  rights,  preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. If our board of directors causes shares of preferred stock to be issued, the rights of the holders
of  our  common  stock  would  likely  be  subordinate  to  those  of  preferred  holders  and  therefore  could  be  adversely  affected.  Our  board  of  directors’  ability  to
determine the terms of preferred stock and to cause its issuance, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate
purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Preferred shares issued by our
board  of  directors  could  include  voting  rights  or  super  voting  rights,  which  could  shift  the  ability  to  control  the  Company  to  the  holders  of  the  preferred  stock.
Preferred stock could also have conversion rights into shares of our common stock at a discount to the market price of our common stock, which could negatively
affect the market for our common stock. In addition, preferred stock would have preference in the event of liquidation of the corporation, which means that the
holders of preferred stock would be entitled to receive the net assets of the corporation distributed in liquidation before the holders of our common stock receive
any distribution of the liquidated assets. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

The  price  of  our  common  stock  may  be  volatile  regardless  of  our  operating  performance,  and  you  may  not  be  able  to  resell  shares  of  our

common stock at or above the price you paid or at all.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you paid. Our stock
price volatility can be in response to a number of factors, including those listed in this section and elsewhere in this annual report. Many of these volatility factors
are beyond our control. Other factors that may affect the market price of our common stock include:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;
liquidity;
sales of our common stock by our stockholders;
changes in oil and natural gas prices;
changes in our cash flow from operations or earnings estimates;
publication of research reports about us or the oil and natural gas exploration, production and service industry generally;
competition from other oil and gas service companies and for, among other things, capital and skilled personnel;
increases in market interest rates which may increase our cost of capital;
changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings, and enforcement and legal actions;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur in the future;
additions or departures of key management personnel;
actions by our stockholders;

commencement of or involvement in litigation;
news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes, and other related issues in our industry;
speculation in the press or investment community regarding our business;
political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions;
general market and economic conditions; and
domestic and international economic, legal, and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

In addition, the U.S. securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated to the
operating performance of companies in these markets. Market fluctuations and broad market, economic and industry factors may negatively affect the price of
our  common  stock,  regardless  of  our  operating  performance.  Any  volatility  or  a  significant  decrease  in  the  market  price  of  our  common  stock  could  also
negatively affect our ability to make acquisitions using our common stock. Further, if we were to be the object of securities class action litigation as a result of
volatility in our common stock price or for other reasons, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which
could negatively affect our financial results.

Our existing shareholders could experience further dilution if we elect to raise equity capital to meet our liquidity needs or finance a strategic

transaction.

As part of our strategy we may desire to raise capital and or utilize our common stock to effect strategic business transactions. Either such action will
likely require that we issue equity (or debt) securities which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Although we will attempt to minimize the dilutive
impact of any future capital-raising activities or business transactions, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are successful in raising
additional working capital, we may have to issue additional shares of our common stock at prices at a discount from the then-current market price of our common
stock.

The value of our common stock may decline significantly if we are unable to maintain our NYSE MKT listing.

Our common stock has recently sold and may continue to sell at a price per share well below $1.00. The NYSE MKT rules contain requirements with
respect to continued listing standards, which include, among other things, when it appears to the Board of Directors of the Exchange that “the extent of public
distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable” (Rule 1002). Rule
1003 also provides that the Exchange will not normally consider removing shares from listing where, like Enservco at the present time, “the issuer has at least
1,100,000 shares publicly held, a market value of publicly held shares of at least $15,000,000 and 400 round lot shareholders”.

We  believe  we  are  in  compliance  with  NYSE  MKT  listing  requirements,  but  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  continue  to  meet
those listing requirements in the future. If we fail to meet the requirements, our common stock may be delisted. If our common stock is delisted, we would be
forced  to  list  our  common  stock  on  the  OTC  Markets  or  some  other  quotation  medium,  depending  on  our  ability  to  meet  the  specific  requirements  of  those
quotation systems. In that case, we may lose some or all of our institutional investors, and selling our common stock on the OTC Markets would be more difficult
because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold and transactions could be delayed. These factors could result in lower prices and larger
spreads  in  the  bid  and  ask  prices  for  shares  of  our  common  stock.  Further,  because  of  the  additional  regulatory  burdens  imposed  upon  broker-dealers  with
respect  to  de-listed  companies,  delisting  could  discourage  broker-dealers  from  effecting  transactions  in  our  stock,  further  limiting  the  liquidity  of  our  shares.
These factors could have a material adverse effect on the trading price, liquidity, value and marketability of our stock.

General Corporate Risks

Concentration of ownership makes it unlikely that any stockholder will be able to influence the election of directors or engage in a change of

control transaction.

Seven  stockholders  directly  and  indirectly  own  approximately  53.8%  of  the  Company’s  outstanding  common  stock  and  have  the  ability  to  heavily
influence the election of our directors when they again stand for reelection. Furthermore, it is likely that no person seeking control of the Company through stock
ownership will be able to succeed in doing so without negotiating an arrangement to do so with these stockholders. For so long as these stockholders continue
to  own  a  significant  percentage  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  the  Company  common  stock,  they  will  retain  such  influence  over  the  election  of  the  board  of
directors and the negotiation of any change of control transaction.

Provisions in our charter documents could prevent or delay a change in control or a takeover.

Provisions in our bylaws provide certain requirements for the nomination of directors which preclude a stockholder from nominating a candidate to stand
for election at any annual meeting. As described in Section 2.12 of the Company’s bylaws, nominations must be presented to the Company well in advance of a
scheduled  annual  meeting,  and  the  notification  must  include  specific  information  as  set  forth  in  that  section.  The  Company  believes  that  such  a  provision
provides  reasonable  notice  of  the  nominees  to  the  board  of  directors,  but  it  may  preclude  stockholder  nomination  at  a  meeting  where  the  stockholder  is  not
familiar with nomination procedures and, therefore, may prevent or delay a change of control or takeover.

Although  the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law  includes  §112  which  provides  that  bylaws  of  Delaware  corporations  may  require  the  corporation  to
include in its proxy materials one or more nominees submitted by stockholders in addition to individuals nominated by the board of directors, the bylaws of the
Company do not so provide. As a result, if any stockholder desires to nominate persons for election to the board of directors, the proponent will have to incur all
of the costs normally associated with a proxy contest.

Indemnification of officers and directors may result in unanticipated expenses.

The Delaware General Corporation Law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, and indemnification agreements between
the  Company  and  certain  individuals  provide  for  the  indemnification  of  our  directors,  officers,  employees,  and  agents,  under  certain  circumstances,  against
attorney’s  fees  and  other  expenses  incurred  by  them  in  any  litigation  to  which  they  become  a  party  arising  from  their  association  with  us  or  activities  on  our
behalf. We also will bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay them if it is
ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by
us that we may be unable to recoup and could direct funds away from our business and products (if any).

We have significant obligations under the 1934 Act  and the NYSE MKT .

Because  we  are  a  public  company  filing  reports  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  we  are  subject  to  increased  regulatory  scrutiny  and
extensive  and  complex  regulation.  The  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  has  the  right  to  review  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  our  reports,  press
releases, and other public documents. In addition, we are subject to extensive requirements to institute and maintain financial accounting controls and for the
accuracy and completeness of our books and records. In addition to regulation by the SEC, we are subject to the NYSE MKT rules. The NYSE MKT rules contain
requirements with respect to corporate governance, communications with shareholders, and various other matters.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Enservco Corporation (“Enservco”) and its subsidiary Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC (“Heat Waves”) are defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in
Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that alleges that Enservco and Heat Waves, in offering and selling frac water heating services,
infringed  and  induced  others  to  infringe  two  patents  owned  by  Heat-On-The-Fly,  LLC  (“HOTF”)- i.e.,  U.S.  Patent  Nos.  8,171,993  (“the  ‘993  Patent”)  and
8,739,875 (“the ‘875 Patent”). The complaint seeks various remedies including injunctive relief and unspecified damages, and relates to only a portion of Heat
Waves’ frac water heating services. In July 2015, the Company and HOTF jointly asked the Colorado Court to stay the case pending any appeal by HOTF of the
partial summary judgment ruling invalidating the ‘993 Patent referenced below, and on July 20, 2015, the Court granted the parties’ joint request. The Colorado
case is now stayed pending resolution of an appeal by HOTF of the North Dakota Court’s invalidity ruling, as referenced below.

HOTF is currently involved in another litigation with a group of energy companies (which does not include Enservco or Heat Waves) that sought, among
other  things,  to  invalidate  the  ‘993  Patent  (“North  Dakota  Case”).  In  March  2015,  the  North  Dakota  Court  granted  the  energy  companies’  partial  summary
judgment motion, finding that the ‘993 Patent was invalid and later entered a judgment on this issue. In September 2015, a jury trial was conducted. While it did
not find that HOTF committed the tort of deceit, the jury found that HOTF represented to a customer of one of the accused energy companies that HOTF had a
valid  patent  and  this  representation  was  made  in  bad  faith.  The  jury  also  found,  among  other  things,  that  HOTF  unlawfully  interfered  with  a  contract  and
prospective business relationship with that customer and as such, awarded the energy company $750,000 in damages. Lastly, the Court also held a bench trial
on the energy companies’ claim that the ‘993 Patent is unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the inventor of the ‘993 Patent before the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (“USPTO”). In January 2016, the Court ruled that the ‘993 Patent is unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by the inventor and/or HOTF. In
February 2016, HOTF filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit relating to all adverse judgments and certain related orders in the
North Dakota Case. The energy companies also appealed the denial of their attorneys’ fees by the North Dakota Court. Both HOTF and the group of energy
companies are in the process of fully briefing all issues and as such, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not yet ruled on the parties’ appeals.

The ‘993 Patent has undergone several reexaminations by the USPTO and in February 2015, the USPTO rejected all 99 claims of the ‘993 Patent in the
latest  reexamination.  However,  in  May  2016,  the  USPTO  reversed  its  decision  and  confirmed  all  99  claims  as  being  patentable  over  the  cited  prior  art  in  the
reexamination proceeding. Further, in September 2016 and February 2017, HOTF was issued two additional patents, both of which could be asserted against
the  Company.  Management  believes  that  final  findings  of  invalidity  and/or  unenforceability  of  the  ‘993  Patent  based  on  inequitable  conduct  could  serve  as  a
basis  to  affect  the  validity  and/or  enforceability  of  each  of  HOTF’s  patents.  If  these  Patents  are  ultimately  held  to  be  invalid  and/or  enforceable,  the  Colorado
Case would become moot.

As noted above, the Colorado Case has been stayed. However, in the event that HOTF’s appeal is successful and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid
and/or enforceable in the North Dakota Case, the Colorado Case may resume. To the extent that Enservco and Heat Waves are unsuccessful in their defense of
the  Colorado  Case,  they  could  be  liable  for  enhanced  damages  and  attorneys’  fees  (both  of  which  may  be  significant)  and  Heat  Waves  could  possibly  be
enjoined from using any technology that is determined to be infringing. Either result could negatively impact Heat Waves’ business and operations. At this time,
the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this case, and accordingly has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss.

The closing sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on March 24, 2017, was $0.38 per share.

Holders

As of March 24, 2017, there were approximately 450 holders of record of Company common stock. This does not include an indeterminate number of

persons who hold our Common Stock in brokerage accounts and otherwise in “street name”.

Dividends

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company did not declare

or pay dividends during its fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015, and has no plans at present to declare or pay any dividends.

Decisions  concerning  dividend  payments  in  the  future  will  depend  on  income  and  cash  requirements.  However,  in  its  agreements  with  PNC,  our
principal lender, the Company represented that it would not pay any cash dividends on its common stock until its obligations to PNC are satisfied. Furthermore,
to the extent the Company has any earnings, it will likely retain earnings to expand corporate operations and not use such earnings to pay dividends.

executed with equity investors to acquire 37,501 shares of Company common stock exercisable at $0.55 per share and (iii) warrants issued in June
2016 to the principals of the Company’s existing investor relations firm to acquire 30,000 shares of Company common stock exercisable at $0.70 per

Plan. No additional stock option grants will be granted under the 2010 Plan as summarized below.

Description of the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan:

On July 27, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan permitted the granting of
equity-based awards to our directors, officers, employees, consultants, independent contractors and affiliates. The 2010 Plan was approved by the Company’s
stockholders  in  October  2010  and  permitted  the  issuance  of  options  that  qualify  as  Incentive  Stock  Options  pursuant  to  Section  422  of  the  Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

As discussed below, the 2010 Plan has been replaced by a new stock option plan and no additional stock option grants will be granted under the 2010
Plan. However, as of December 31, 2016, there were options to purchase 2,251,168 shares which remain outstanding under the 2010 Plan that were awarded
prior to the adoption of the 2016 Plan described below.

Description of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan:

On July 18, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the Enservco Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”),
which was approved by the stockholders on September 29, 2016. The 2016 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, which may in turn delegate authority
to  administer  the  2016  Plan  to  a  committee.  Our  Board  of  Directors  has  not  formed  a  compensation  committee,  but  should  one  be  formed  the  Board  may
delegate the authority to administer the 2016 Plan to the compensation committee. Our plan administrator may make grants of cash and equity awards under the
2016 Plan to facilitate compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, the plan administrator may determine the recipients,
numbers and types of awards to be granted, and the terms and conditions of the awards, including the period of their exercisability and vesting.

The aggregate number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan will not exceed 10,391,711 shares over the next ten

years (the stated life of the 2016 plan). As of December 31, 2016, there were options to purchase 1,960,000 shares outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

The 2016 Plan permits the granting of:

Stock options (including both incentive and non-qualified stock options); 
Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”);
Restricted stock and restricted stock units;
Performance awards of cash, stock, other securities or property;

•
•
•
•
• Other stock grants; and
• Other stock-based awards.

Unless  sooner  discontinued  or  terminated  by  the  Board,  the  2016  Plan  will  expire  on  September  29,  2026.  No  awards  may  be  made  after  that  date.
However, unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable award agreement, any award granted under the 2016 Plan prior to expiration extends beyond
the expiration of the 2016 Plan through the award’s normal expiration date.

Without  the  approval  of  the  Company’s  stockholders,  the  Committee  will  not  re-price,  adjust  or  amend  the  exercise  price  of  any  options  or  the  grant
price of any SAR previously awarded, whether through amendment, cancellation and replacement grant or any other means, except in connection with a stock
dividend  or  other  distribution,  including  a  stock  split,  merger  or  other  similar  corporate  transaction  or  event,  in  order  to  prevent  dilution  or  enlargement  of  the
benefits, or potential benefits intended to be provided under the 2016 Plan.

Other Stock Compensation Arrangements:

In  November  2012,  the  Company  granted  each  of  the  principals  of  its  existing  investor  relations  firm  a  warrant  to  purchase  112,500  shares  of  the
Company’s common stock (a total of 225,000 shares) for the firm’s part in creating awareness for the Company’s private equity placement, in November 2012,
as  discussed  herein.  The  warrants  are  exercisable  at  $0.55  per  share  for  a  five  year  term.  Each  of  the  warrants  may  be  exercised  on  a  cashless  basis.  The
warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be
acquired upon the exercise of the warrants. A total of 112,500 of these warrants were exercised in 2014 and 112,500 remain outstanding at December 31, 2016.

The past two fiscal years were very challenging for us. The decline in drilling, completion and service activities throughout the industry that started in
2014  and  continued  during  most  of  2016  due  to  low  oil  and  natural  gas  prices  combined  with  warm  winter  weather  in  our  frac  heating  markets  resulted  in  a
significant drop in demand for our services during 2015 and 2016. As a result, revenues from our core well enhancement services during 2016 declined $15.0
million or 46% compared to 2015. Despite the decline, our well enhancement segment generated a profit of $2.2 million or 12% of segment revenues for 2016.

In an effort to offset some of the seasonal decline in our heating related services, the Company launched two new business segments – water transfer
services and construction services. In January 2016, we acquired $4.3 million of water transfer assets from WET and HIIT in an effort to launch a new water
transfer  service  division.  Water  transfer  services  are  a  year-round  service  that  is  also  complementary  to  our  frac  water  heating  business.        In  May  2016,  we
expanded our construction services segment to provide dirt hauling to the construction industry in an effort to help retain and increase utilization of frac water
heating  operators  during  offseason  quarters  and  slow  periods.  Although  the  Company  made  significant  strides  in  getting  these  business  segments  up  and
running during 2016, start-up and carrying costs from these two segments diluted our fiscal 2016 segment profits, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA.

Although management took various actions to reduce variable operating costs in line with the decrease in revenues and to reduce fixed expenses where
possible,  the  decline  in  higher  margin  well  enhancement  services  combined  with  the  incremental  start-up  costs  from  our  new  business  segments  of
approximately $1.7 million resulted in a $10.2 million decline in segment profits during 2016 as compared to last year.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company realized a net loss of $8.55 million ($0.22 per share) as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million
($0.03 per share) last year primarily due to the decline in revenues and corresponding segment profits described above. In addition, a $1.1 million increase in
depreciation and amortization expense attributable to our purchase of water transfer assets also contributed to the increase in net loss in 2016.

Adjusted  EBITDA  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016  was  a  negative  $3.3  million  as  compared  to  $6.3  million  in  2015.  For  further  details  on  the

calculation of Adjusted EBITDA see Adjusted EBITDA section below.

Industry Overview

The  low  crude  oil  prices  since  July  2014  that  continued  through  2016  resulted  in  our  customers  significantly  scaling  back  drilling  and  completion
programs,  shifting  capital  resources  to  higher  margin  basins,  requiring  substantial  concessions  from  vendors,  and  reducing  or  delaying  certain  maintenance
related  work  to  preserve  capital.  Further,  the  overall  reduction  in  drilling,  completion  and  service  work  resulted  in  more  service  vendors  seeking  fewer  jobs
putting  even  further  downward  pressure  on  the  pricing  of  services.  Some  competitors  responded  by  pricing  work  at  what  we  believe  to  be  negative  margins.
Although the Company has been able to partially mitigate the impact of the operating environment by deploying resources to more active customers and basins,
our revenue growth and operating margins have been significantly negatively impacted by reduced overall demand for our services, requiring pricing concessions
and the delay of hot oiling and acidizing maintenance work.

Many customers implemented capital spending programs at the beginning of 2016 and some customers suspended drilling and completion programs
altogether until oil and natural gas prices recover and stabilize at an economical price for continuing operations. In addition, some customers delayed their routine
hot oiling and acidizing maintenance work.

Crude prices and the North American rig count have increased significantly since the low points in February 2016 and May 2016, respectively, signaling
that the industry downturn may have hit bottom and begun a market recovery. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the average United States rig count increased 23%
compared to the third quarter, and we started to see a pickup in completion and production maintenance service activity towards the end of the fourth quarter.

Segment Overview

Enservco’s  reportable  business  segments  are  Well  Enhancement  Services,  Water  Transfer  Services,  Water  Hauling  Services,  and  Construction
Services.  These  segments  have  been  selected  based  on  changes  in  management’s  resource  allocation  and  performance  assessment  in  making  decisions
regarding the Company.

The following is a description of the segments:

Well Enhancement Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of frac water heating units, hot oil trucks and acidizing units to provide well enhancement and
completion  services  to  the  domestic  oil  and  gas  industry.  These  services  include  frac  water  heating,  hot  oil  services,  pressure  testing,  and  acidizing
services.

Water Transfer Services:   This segment utilizes high and low volume pumps, lay flat hose, aluminum pipe and manifolds and related equipment to move
fresh and/or recycled water from a water source such as a pond, lake, river, stream, or water storage facility to frac tanks at drilling locations to be used
in  connection  with  well  completion  activities.  Also  included  in  this  segment  are  water  treatment  services  whereby  to  remove  bacteria  and  scale  from
water, the Company uses patented hydropath technology under an agreement with HydroFLOW USA.

Water Hauling Services:    This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and related assets, including specialized tank trucks, vacuum trailers, storage tanks, and
disposal  facilities  to  provide  various  water  hauling  services.  These  services  are  primarily  provided  by  Dillco  in  the  Hugoton  area  in  Kansas  and
Oklahoma.

Construction Services:    This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and equipment to provide supplementary construction and roustabout services to the oil
and gas and construction industry. In 2016, the Company started utilizing this fleet of equipment to provide dirt hauling services to a general construction
contractor in Colorado.

For 2016, well enhancement service revenue declined $15.0 million, or 46%, to $17.9 million. A significant decline in demand for our frac water heating
services due to unseasonably warm weather in our two largest frac water heating markets (D-J/Niobrara and Marcellus/Utica) and the overall decline in drilling
and completions activity related to low oil and natural gas price were the primary reasons for the decline in revenues. These declines were partially offset by $2.3
million of incremental revenues from our geographic expansion into the Texas area.

Frac water heating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 declined 64% to $6.7 million as compared to $18.3 million in 2015. Unseasonably
warm winter weather in the DJ Basin and Marcellus/Utica Basin in the first and fourth quarters of 2016 significantly reduced demand for our frac water heating
services in these, our two largest frac heating markets. Our Eastern USA region was hit particularly hard as sufficiently cold weather did not materialize in first
and fourth quarter 2016, contributing to a $3.8 million, or 83%, decline in heating revenues in the Marcellus/Utica Shale Basin. Further, industry wide declines in
drilling and completion programs due to low oil and natural gas prices and price concessions issued to customers also contributed to the annual decline in frac
heating revenues.

Hot oil revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased 26% to $8.6 million as compared to $11.7 million in 2015. Incremental revenues of
$2.3 million from our geographic expansion into Texas offset lower equipment utilization and price concessions in several markets. Hot oil equipment utilization
fell from last year as customers in several locations scaled back frequency of service and reduced service hours in an effort to reduce costs.

Acidizing revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased 41% to $2.2 million as compared to $1.5 million in 2015. The Company’s continued
efforts to aggressively pursue customers and partner with chemical suppliers to develop new cost effective acid programs has allowed us to expand our acidizing
services into the Eagle Ford Shale basin in Texas.

Segment profits for our core well enhancement services declined $8.5 million or 80% in 2016 as compared to last year. Additional labor costs incurred to
retain  personnel  during  unseasonably  warm  weather,  price  concessions  granted  to  customers,  and  overall  fixed  costs  associated  with  maintaining  our
geographical locations and extensive fleet all contributed to the lower segment profits. The Company plans to continue to re-deploy equipment to more active
regions to increase utilization, which should result in improving this segment’s profits.

Water Transfer Services:

In January 2016, the Company acquired approximately $4.3 million of water transfer and water treatment assets, with the intent of launching a new water
transfer service line. Water transfer services involve the use of water pumps, lay flat hose, and aluminum pipe to transport water from a water source to a frac
site. This service is complementary to our frac water heating service in that the frac water we heat is provided by water transfer and allows bundling of these
services with our frac water heating services.

The continuing industry wide downturn significantly impacted our ability to penetrate this market in 2016. Accordingly, the Company recognized water
transfer revenues of only $184,000 during 2016, with a majority of that revenue recognized in the fourth quarter. The Company has been awarded several water
transfer jobs in early 2017 and expects future revenues to increase significantly over 2016.

Also,  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  above,  the  Company  acquired  a  new  water  treatment  technology  utilized  in  devices  sold  under  the  name  of
HydroFLOW. HydroFLOW products offer water treatment services based on patented hydropath technology that can remove bacteria and scale from water using
electrical induction to reduce or eliminate down-hole scaling and corrosion. During 2016, the Company marketed this product to several existing customers and
completed proof of concept studies.

During  2016,  this  segment  realized  a  loss  of  $1.4  million.  Several  factors  contributed  to  this  loss  including  carrying  costs  associated  with  the  initial
management  team  hired  to  run  and  grow  the  water  transfer  business  who  were  dismissed  in  June  2016.  Also,  contributing  to  the  segment  loss  were  the
marketing efforts to launch these new services and conducting no revenue proof-of-concept studies for HydroFlow services.

Water Hauling Services 

Water hauling service revenues, which represent approximately 16% of our 2016 consolidated revenues, declined $2.0 million, or 35%, during 2016 as
compared to last year. The decline was primarily attributable to lower water hauling revenues in our Central US region due to scaled back service work, pricing
concessions and the cessation of certain low margin accounts.

Water hauling revenues have continued to decline over the last four years as this segment of the oil and gas industry has become highly competitive,
which  has  resulted  in  downward  pressure  on  prices.  As  noted  above,  the  Company  has  reduced  prices  to  remain  competitive  but  also  elected  to  eliminate
certain low margin work.

Due  to  cost  reduction  efforts,  including  an  across  the  board  pay  reduction  in  March  2016,  this  segment  recognized  a  profit  of  $40,000  in  2016  as

compared to a loss of $57,000 in 2015.

Construction Services:

In May 2016, the Company began to provide dirt excavation and hauling services to general contractors in the construction industry to offset some of the
seasonal decline in revenues from our frac heating business and to utilize and retain key frac heating operators over the summer months. The Company used
some of its existing construction equipment in both Heat Waves and Dillco to launch this service.

During  2016,  the  Company  recognized  $2.7  million  of  construction  service  revenue,  of  which  $2.5  million  related  to  a  specific  dirt  hauling  project  in
Colorado.  Due  to  the  size  and  deadlines  associated  with  this  project,  the  Company  supplemented  its  existing  resources  with  sub-contractors.  Logistical
challenges and equipment issues related to the Colorado project, resulted in a segment loss of $279,000 during 2016.

The  Company  may  continue  this  business  segment,  but  will  focus  primarily  on  dirt  hauling  projects  which  are  less  labor  intensive  or  complex  as  the

project in Colorado.

Unallocated and Other :

Unallocated  and  other  costs  include  costs  which  are  not  specifically  allocated  to  the  business  segments  above  including  labor,  travel,  and  operating

costs for regional managers and sales personnel that sell services for various segments.

During 2016, unallocated costs increased 6% to $740,000 as compared to $699,000 in 2015.

subsidiary operating in this region.
Includes the Eagle Ford Shale (Southern Texas) and Mississippi Lime and Hugoton Field (southwestern Kansas, north central Oklahoma, and the
Texas panhandle). Both Dillco and Heat Waves engage in business operations in this region.
Consists of the southern region of the Marcellus Shale formation (southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia) and the Utica Shale
formation (eastern Ohio). Heat Waves is the only Company subsidiary operating in this region.

(3)

Revenues  in  the  Rocky  Mountain  Region  decreased  $9.5  million,  or  41%,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016  due  to  several  factors  including  (i)
decreased frac water heating activity in the Niobrara Shale/DJ Basin and Bakken Field as discussed above; (ii) decreased hot oiling service activity in the Bakken
Field and Wyoming basins due to delayed maintenance programs by customers and (iii) price concessions granted to customers.

Revenues in the Eastern USA region decreased $3.9 million, or 75%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to lower frac
water service activity in the Marcellus and Utica shale basins during 2016. Unseasonably warm weather during the first and fourth quarters of 2016 significantly
reduced heating demand essentially eliminating most of our frac water heating revenue in 2016. Reduced drilling and completion activities due to falling prices
also contributed to the overall decline in revenues.

Revenues in the Central USA region decreased $794,000, or 8%, to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Incremental revenues from our
geographic expansion into the Eagle Ford Shale of $2.3 million were more than offset by a $2.1 million decline in water hauling activity in the Hugoton field area
and  a  $1.1  million  decline  in  well  enhancement  revenues  throughout  the  region.  Scaled  back  service  work,  price  concessions  and  elimination  of  certain  low
margin water hauling customers were the primary reasons for decline in water hauling business in the Hugoton field area.

Historical Seasonality of Revenues:

Because of the seasonality of our frac water heating and hot oiling business, revenues generated during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year,
covering the months during what we call our “heating season,” are significantly higher than revenues earned during the second and third quarters of the year. In
addition, the revenue mix of our service offerings also changes among quarters as our Well Enhancement services (which includes frac water heating and hot
oiling) decrease as a percentage of total revenues and Water Hauling Services(water hauling) and other services increase. Thus, the revenues recognized in our
quarterly financials in any given period are not indicative of the annual or quarterly revenues through the remainder of that fiscal year.

As an indication of this quarter-to-quarter seasonality, the Company generated revenues of $15.0 million, or 61%, of its 2016 revenues during the first
and fourth quarters of 2016 compared to $9.6 million, or 39%, during the second and third quarters of 2016. In 2015, the Company generated revenues of $27.8
million, or 72%, of its 2015 revenues during the first and fourth quarters of 2015, compared to $11.0 million, or 28%, during the second and third quarters of
2015. While the Company is pursuing various strategies to lessen these quarterly fluctuations by expanding and/or adding non-seasonal service lines, there can
be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

Direct Operating Expenses:

Direct operating expenses, which include labor costs, propane, fuel, chemicals, truck repairs and maintenance, supplies, insurance, and site overhead
costs  for  our  operating  segments  declined  $4.0  million  or  14%  during  2016  as  compared  to  last  year.  This  decline  was  primarily  due  to  the  overall  decline  in
service activity in our well enhancement service segment attributable to low oil prices and warm weather. Management increased their efforts to reduce operating
costs  such  as  direct  labor,  equipment  repairs  and  maintenance  in  order  to  minimize  the  negative  impact  of  reduced  revenues.  Managements’  efforts  include
reducing  overtime  and  non-billable  time,  reducing  indirect  labor  to  correspond  with  lower  activity,  negotiating  supplier  discounts  and  implementing  cost
management  tools.  In  addition,  lower  fuel  costs  also  contributed  to  the  decline  in  direct  operating  costs.  The  decline  in  well  enhancement  costs  above  was
partially  offset  by  startup  and  carrying  costs  from  our  new  water  transfer  division  and  additional  dirt  hauling  costs  from  our  project  in  Colorado  (construction
services)

General and Administrative Expenses:

General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  $481,000,  or  11%,  to  $3.8  million  in  2016  as  compared  to  $4.3  million  in  2015  primarily  due  to  a
$580,000 decrease in personnel costs attributable to reductions in staff, and other cost saving initiatives implemented in early 2016. The decrease was offset by
an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $44,000.

Patent Litigation and Defense Costs :

Patent litigation and defense costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 declined to $152,000 as compared to $537,000 for 2015. As discussed in Item
3. – Litigation, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado issued a decision on July 20, 2015 to stay the Company’s case with HOTF pending an appeal of
a 2015 judgement by a North Dakota Court invalidating the ‘993 Patent. As a result of the stay, legal costs have been minimal since July 2015.

Enservco and Heat Waves deny that they are infringing any valid, enforceable claim of the asserted HOTF patents, and intend to continue to vigorously
defend  themselves  in  the  Colorado  Case  and  challenge  the  validity  and/or  enforceability  of  these  patents  should  the  lawsuit  resume.  The  Company  expects
associated  legal  fees  to  be  minimal  going  forward  until  the  Colorado  Case  is  resumed.  In  the  event  that  HOTF’s  appeal  is  successful  and  the  ‘993  Patent  is
found to be valid and/or enforceable in the North Dakota Case, the Colorado Case may resume.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $1.1 million, or 19%, from 2015 primarily due to the additional

depreciation expense related to the $4.3 million purchase of water transfer assets from WET and HIIT.

Income (Loss) from operations:

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  recognized  a  loss  from  operations  of  $11  million  as  compared  to  a  loss  from  operations  of
$620,000  for  2015.  The  decline  is  primarily  due  to  a  $10.2  million  decline  in  segment  profit  attributable  to  lower  revenues  and  higher  depreciation  and
amortization costs related to our acquisition of assets, offset by lower General and Administrative Costs and lower patent litigation and defense costs.

Interest Expense:

Interest  expense  increased  $652,000,  or  54%,  to  $1.8  million  in  2016  compared  to  $1.1  million  in  2015.  The  increase  was  due  primarily  to  (i)  higher
amendment fees and an increase in our effective interest rate of 200 basis points due to amendments to our PNC credit facility, and (ii) a higher average debt
balance from the comparable period last year due to the $4.3 million acquisition of water transfer assets in January 2016. These increases were partially offset
by a $72,000 reduction in interest expense from last year related to the fair market adjustments on the PNC interest rate swap agreement.

Income Taxes:

Income tax benefit was $3.9 million in 2016, as compared to a tax benefit of $418,000 in 2015. Our effective tax benefit rate was approximately 37% in
2016 compared to an effective tax expense rate of 25% in 2015. The higher effective tax rate during 2016 was primarily due to a lower impact of permanent
differences  from  incentive  stock  options  on  our  pre-tax  loss  during  2016  as  compared  to  2015.  Our  effective  tax  benefit  in  2016  approximates  the  federal
statutory  rate  of  35%.  The  Company’s  effective  tax  rate  during  2015  was  lower  than  the  federal  statutory  corporate  tax  rate  of  34%  primarily  due  permanent
differences  from  incentive  stock  options.  See Note  7 Income Taxes in  the  notes  to  the  accompanying  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  for  further
details.

All  of  the  items  included  in  the  reconciliation  from  net  income  to  EBITDA  and  from  EBITDA  to  Adjusted  EBITDA  are  either  (i)  non-cash  items  (e.g.,
depreciation,  amortization  of  purchased  intangibles,  stock-based  compensation,  warrants  issued,  etc.)  or  (ii)  items  that  management  does  not  consider  to  be
useful in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance (e.g., income taxes, gain on sale of investments, loss on disposal of assets, patent litigation
and defense costs, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the
measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow or
invest in its business.

We use, and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it
provides us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that
management  believes  do  not  directly  reflect  our  core  operations.  We  believe  that  EBITDA  is  useful  to  investors  and  other  external  users  of  our  financial
statements in evaluating our operating performance because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard
to items such as interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting
methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Additionally, our leverage and fixed charge ratio covenants
associated with our 2014 Credit Agreement require the use of Adjusted EBITDA in specific calculations.

Because  not  all  companies  use  identical  calculations,  the  Company’s  presentation  of  non-GAAP  financial  measures  may  not  be  comparable  to  other
similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance against its peer companies
because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures.

Changes in Adjusted EBITDA*

Adjusted EBITDA from operations declined $9.6 million to a negative $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to a positive $6.3

million for 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the $10.2 million decline in segment profit discussed above.

We have relied on cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit agreements, and equity offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. Our
ability  to  fund  operating  cash  flow  shortfalls,  fund  capital  expenditures,  and  make  acquisitions  will  depend  upon  our  future  operating  performance  and  on  the
availability of equity and debt financing. At December 31, 2016, we had approximately $621,000 of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.5 million
available under our asset based senior revolving credit facility.

In September 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) with
PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) which provides for a five-year $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The facility allowed the Company to
borrow up to 85% of eligible receivables, 85% of the appraised value of trucks and equipment, and up to 90% of the cost of new equipment. The Company had
the option to pay variable interest rate based on (a) 1, 2 or 3 month LIBOR plus applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% for LIBOR Rate Loans or (b)
interest at PNC Base Rate plus applicable margin of 1.00% to 2.00% for Domestic Rate Loans. As a result of the Sixth Amendment entered into in March 2016,
the applicable margin on LIBOR Rate Loans increased to 4.50% to 5.00% and the applicable margin on Domestic Rate Loans increased to 3.00% to 4.00%. The
interest  rate  at  December  31,  2016  ranged  from  5.21%  to  5.27%  for  the  $21,250,000  of  LIBOR  Rate  Loans  and  6.75%  for  the  $1,930,514  of  Domestic  Rate
Loans.

The  PNC  credit  facility  has  certain  customary  financial  covenants  which  have  been  amended  from  time  to  time  and  consisted  of  the  following  as  of

December 31, 2016, as described below:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

a  minimum  fixed  charge  coverage  ratio  (as  defined,  not  less  than  1.25  to  1.00,  measured  as  of  the  last  day  of  each  fiscal  quarter  based  on
trailing twelve month information) beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017;

a minimum monthly availability covenant of $1.0 million starting November 30, 2016.

a leverage ratio as follows:

Effective  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  entered  into  an  amendment  to  the  2014  Credit  Agreement  that  among  other  things,  (i)  decrease  the
borrowing of eligible equipment from 85% to 75% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Existing Equipment and (ii) commencing on March 31,
2017 and measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter end thereafter, the Company will need to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25
to 1.00 in respect of each compliance test date. For the purpose of this covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be determined on the basis of Adjusted
EBITDA for the trailing four-quarter period ended on the applicable quarterly compliance test date. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be measured for
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016.

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement that among other things (i) required the Company
to raise $1.5 million in subordinated debt or post a letter of credit in favor of the bank by March 31, 2017; (ii) raise an additional $1 million of subordinated debt by
May 15, 2017; (iii) reduced the maturity date of the loan from September 12, 2019 to April 30, 2018; (iv) changed the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include
proceeds from subordinated debt; and (v) change the calculation of fixed charge and leverage ratio from a trailing four-quarter basis to a quarterly build from the
quarter ended December 31, 2016. On March 31, 2017, the Company’s largest shareholder posted a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million in accordance
with the terms of the agreement. It is expected that the letter of credit will be converted into subordinated debt with a maturity dated April 2022 and a stated
interest rate of 12%.

The Company intends to continue to use its cash flow and the PNC facility to fund working capital needs and future capital expenditures. The financial

covenants outlined above could restrict our ability to secure additional debt financing or access funds under our revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $23.2 million and approximately $4.5 million available under the revolving

credit facility.

Liquidity:

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s available liquidity was $5.15 million, which was substantially comprised of $4.5 million of availability on the
credit facility and $620,000 in cash. The Company continues to borrow from the credit facility to fund working capital requirements. As of March 3, 2017, our
liquidity decreased by $545,000 which consisted of credit facility availability of $3.06 million and cash of $542,000.

The  Company  has  incurred  substantial  losses  from  years  ended  December  31,  2016  and  2015  and  negative  cash  from  operations  in  2016  of  $1.9

million. The Company’s current operating plan indicates that it will continue to incur losses from operations.

As noted above, the tenth amendment to the Company’s 2014 Credit Agreement with PNC has modified the maturity date of the loan balance to April
30, 2018. Thus, beginning in May 2017, the entire loan balance (approximately $25.7 million as of March 28, 2017) will be classified as a current liability. The
Company is exploring alternatives for other sources of capital and for ongoing liquidity needs to enhance its ability to comply with the financial covenants under
its  credit  agreement  and  fund  obligations.  The  Company  is  working  to  improve  its  operating  performance  and  its  cash,  liquidity  and  financial  position.  This
includes: (i) improving labor and equipment utilization rates; (ii) selling certain assets of the Company; and (iii) exploring new bank relationships.

             However, there can be no assurance that management’s plan to improve the Company’s operating performance and financial position will be successful
or that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing or more favorable covenant requirements. As a result, the Company’s ability to pay its obligation
and meet its covenant requirement can be adversely affected.

Working Capital:

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.04 million as compared to $6.23 million at our 2015 fiscal year end.
The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.2 million due to lower frac water heating revenues during
the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter last year due to warmer weather. Further, working capital decreased as a result of an increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $640,000 due to extending vendor payments.

Cash flow from Operating Activities:

Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $14.1 million to a cash used in operating activities of $2.0 million
as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.1 million during 2015 primarily due to the $10.7 million increase in pre-tax net loss and changes in
working capital associated with lower revenues.

Cash flow Used In Investing Activities:

Cash flow used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was $4.7 million as compared to $4.5 million during the comparable
period last year. During 2016, the Company purchased $4.3 million of water transfer assets from WET and HIIT. During 2015, the Company used $4.5 million of
cash flow to complete the fabrication of equipment from the 2014 CAPEX program.

Cash flow from Financing Activities:

Cash provided in financing activities for fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was $6.5 million as compared to cash used in financing activities of $7.8
million for the year ended 2015. During 2016, the Company completed a secondary stock issuance which provided the Company gross proceeds of $5.2 million
which  was  offset  by  stock  issuance  costs  for  net  proceeds  of  $4.4  million.  During  2016,  the  Company  made  principal  payments  of  $13.9  million  to  the  PNC
senior revolving credit facility compared to $24.7 million in 2015.

Outlook:

The current oil and gas environment provides a great opportunity for us to optimize our asset base and increase our cash flow. Our goal is to right size
our balance sheet and increase the utilization rate of our assets. In doing this, we believe we can come out of the downturn well positioned and take advantage
of the current uptick in oil and gas prices. The Company plans to continue to look for opportunities to expand its business operations through organic growth
such as geographic expansion and increasing the volume and scope of services offered to our existing customers as capital permits. The Company will continue
to focus on adding high margin services that reduce our seasonality, diversify our service offerings, and maintain a good balance between recurring maintenance
work and drilling and completion related services.

Capital Commitments and Obligations:

The Company’s capital obligations as of December 31, 2016 consists primarily of scheduled principal payments under certain term loans and operating
leases.    The  Company  does  not  have  any  scheduled  principal  payments  under  its five-year,  $30  million  revolving  credit  facility  with  PNC  Bank.  However,  the
Company may need to make future principal payments based upon collateral availability and to maintain required leverage ratios. General terms and conditions
for amounts due under these commitments and obligations are summarized in the notes to the financial statements.    

Pursuant  to  a  Sales  Agreement  with  HydroFLOW  USA,  HWWM  has  the  exclusive  right  to  sell  or  rent  patented  hydropath  devices  in  connection  with
bacteria  deactivation  and  scale  treatment  services  for  treating  injection  and  disposal  wells,  fracking  water  and  recycled  water  in  the  oil  and  gas  industry  to
HWWM  customers  in  the  United  States.  Pursuant  to  the  sales  agreement,  HWWM  is  required  to  pay  royalties  on  certain  rental  transactions  and  in  order  to
maintain the exclusivity provision under the agreement, the Company must meet certain annual purchase commitments of approximately $655,000 in 2017 and
beyond.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The  Company  has  no  significant  off-balance  sheet  arrangements  that  have  or  are  reasonably  likely  to  have  a  current  or  future  effect  on  our  financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our
stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  a  variety  of
estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.

Our  management  routinely  makes  judgments  and  estimates  about  the  effect  of  matters  that  are  inherently  uncertain.  As  the  number  of  variables  and
assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that
our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon
actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the
Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates

derived there from have been identified as being critical.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides an allowance
for uncollectable accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The allowance for
uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is
management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical collection experience related to accounts receivable coupled with a
review  of  the  current  status  of  existing  receivables.  The  losses  ultimately  incurred  could  differ  materially  in  the  near  term  from  the  amounts  estimated  in
determining the allowance.

Revenue Recognition:

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  evidence  of  an  arrangement  exists,  the  fee  is  determinable,  and  services  are  provided  and  collection  is

reasonably assured.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities
and  wells  used  for  the  disposal  of  water;  and  (3)  other  equipment  such  as  tools  used  for  maintaining  and  repairing  vehicles,  office  furniture  and  fixtures,  and
computer equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes interest on certain qualifying assets that
are undergoing activities to prepare them for their intended use. Interest costs incurred during the fabrication period are capitalized and amortized over the life of
the  assets.  The  Company  charges  repairs  and  maintenance  against  income  when  incurred  and  capitalizes  renewals  and  betterments,  which  extend  the
remaining useful life, expand the capacity or efficiency of the assets. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.

Long-Lived Assets:

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset
may  not  be  recovered.  The  Company  looks  primarily  to  the  discounted  future  cash  flows  in  its  assessment  of  whether  or  not  long-lived  assets  have  been
impaired. No impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Income Taxes:

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts  in  the  financial  statements  that  will  result  in  taxable  or  deductible  amounts  in  future  years.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a
change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes are
classified as a net current or non-current asset or liability based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.  A deferred
tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal date.  The Company records a
valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

47

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
ultimate  resolution.  The  application  of  income  tax  law  is  inherently  complex.  Laws  and  regulations  in  this  area  are  voluminous  and  are  often  ambiguous.    As
such,  the  Company  is  required  to  make  many  subjective  assumptions  and  judgments  regarding  income  tax  exposures.  Interpretations  of  and  guidance
surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can
materially  affect  amounts  recognized  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  consolidated  statements  of  income.  The  result  of  the  reassessment  of  the
Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns
in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The Company’s United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2013
through 2015 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years 2011 to 2015.

Stock-based Compensation:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for all stock options awarded to employees,
officers, and directors. The expected term of the options is based upon evaluation of historical and expected further exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate
is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the grant. Volatility is determined upon
historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield is assumed to be none as we have
not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The  Company  also  uses  the  Black-Scholes  valuation  model  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  warrants.  Expected  volatility  is  based  upon  the  weighted
average  of  historical  volatility  over  the  contractual  term  of  the  warrant  and  implied  volatility.  The  risk-free  interest  rate  is  based  upon  implied  yield  on  a  U.S.
Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be none.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed  or  submitted  under  the  1934  Act  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported,  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission’s  rules  and  forms.  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures  include,  without  limitation,  controls  and  procedures  designed  to  ensure  that  information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and
our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our  management,  under  the  direction  of  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  (who  is  our  principal  executive  officer),  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  (who  is  our
principal accounting officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by 1934 Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of December
31, 2016 (the end of the period covered by this report). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer concluded
that  these  disclosure  controls  and  procedures are  effective  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  by  the  Company  in  the
reports  that  it  files  or  submits  under  the  1934  Act  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  management,  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief
Financial  Officer, to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required  disclosure  and  are  effective  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  such  information  is  recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

The Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer , does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or
detect  all  error  and  all  fraud.  A  control  system,  no  matter  how  well  conceived  or  operated,  can  provide  only  reasonable,  not  absolute,  assurance  that  the
objectives of the control system are met.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In accordance with Item 308 of SEC Regulation S-K, management is required to provide an annual report regarding internal controls over our financial
reporting. This report, which includes management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, is found below. Inasmuch
as  the  Company  is  neither  an  accelerated  filer  nor  a  large  accelerated  filer,  the  Company  is  not  obligated  to  provide  an  attestation  report  on  the  Company’s
internal control over financial reporting by the Company’s registered public accounting firm.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as defined in Rules 13a-
15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our ICFR are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our ICFR are expected to include
those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:

(1)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the Company;

49

EDGAR Stream is a copyright of Issuer Direct Corporation, all rights reserved.

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(2)

(3)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the  Company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with
proper authorizations of management and our directors; and

Provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use  or  disposition  of  the  Company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal
control  can  provide  only  reasonable  assurance  with  respect  of  financial  statement  preparation  and  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  In  addition,
effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of
compliance with our established policies and procedures.

As of December 31, 2016, management (with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation of
the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  ICFR  based  on  the  framework  set  forth  in Internal  Control--Integrated Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-
accelerated filers. Based on that assessment, management (with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) concluded that,
during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Enservco Corporation
Denver, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enservco Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  stockholders'  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended.  The  Company’s  management  is
responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan  and  perform  the  audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  The  Company  is  not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Enservco Corporation and
subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  and  the  results  of  their  operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

America (“GAAP”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Liquidity and Managements’ Plans

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s available liquidity was $5.15 million, which was substantially comprised of $4.5 million of availability on the
credit facility and $620,000 in cash. The Company continues to borrow from the credit facility to fund working capital needs and to shore-up operating losses. As
of March 3, 2017, our liquidity decreased by $545,000 which consisted of credit facility availability of $3.06 million and cash of $542,000.

The  Company  has  incurred  substantial  losses  from  years  ended  December  31,  2016  and  2015  and  negative  cash  from  operations  in  2016  of  $1.9

million. The Company’s current operating plan indicates that it will continue to incur losses from operations

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement that among other things (i) required the Company
to raise $1.5 million in subordinated debt or post a letter of credit in favor of the bank by March 31, 2017; (ii) raise an additional $1 million of subordinated debt by
May 15, 2017; (iii) reduced the maturity date of the loan from September 12, 2019 to April 30, 2018; (iv) changed the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include
proceeds from subordinated debt; and (v) change the calculation of fixed charge and leverage ratio from a trailing four-quarter basis to a quarterly build from the
quarter ended December 31, 2016. On March 31, 2017, the Company’s largest shareholder posted a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million in accordance
with the terms of the Tenth Amendment. It is expected that the letter of credit will be converted into subordinated debt with a maturity dated on or about April 15,
2022 with a stated interest rate of 12% per annum.

As a result of moving the maturity date to April 30, 2018, the entire loan balance (approximately $25.7 million as of March 28, 2017) will be classified as
a current liability beginning in May 2017. The Company is exploring alternatives for other sources of capital to reduce or replace the PNC credit facility and fund
obligations.  The  Company  is  working  to  improve  its  operating  performance  and  its  cash,  liquidity  and  financial  position.  This  includes:  (i)  improving  labor  and
equipment utilization rates; (ii) selling certain assets of the Company; and (iii) exploring additional bank relationships.

However, there can be no assurance that management’s plan to improve the Company’s operating performance and financial position will be successful
or that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing or more favorable covenant requirements. As a result, the Company’s ability to pay its obligation
and meet its covenant requirement can be adversely affected.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
continually  monitors  its  positions  with,  and  the  credit  quality  of,  the  financial  institutions  with  which  it  invests.  Enservco  maintains  its  excess  cash  in  various
financial institutions, where deposits may exceed federally insured amounts at times.

Accounts Receivable 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides an allowance
for uncollectable accounts based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The allowance for
uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is
management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical collection experience related to accounts receivable coupled with a
review  of  the  current  status  of  existing  receivables.  The  losses  ultimately  incurred  could  differ  materially  in  the  near  term  from  the  amounts  estimated  in
determining the allowance. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $34,371 and $158,800.
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded bad debt expense (net of recoveries) of $156,978 and $135,434, respectively.

Concentrations

As of December 31, 2016, three customers each comprised more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance; at approximately 14%, 14%
and 11%, respectively. Revenues from these three customers represented 14%, 11% and 12% of total revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2016.

As of December 31, 2015, two customers each comprised more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance; at approximately 28% and
10%,  respectively.  Revenues  from  these  two  customers  represented  11%  and  3%  of  total  revenues,  respectively,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015.
Additionally, one other customer exceeded 10% of total revenues at approximately 10% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Inventories

Inventory consists primarily of propane, diesel fuel and chemicals that are used in the servicing of oil wells and is carried at the lower of cost or market in
accordance with the first in, first out method (FIFO). The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs, of
inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. During the years ended December 31,
2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize any write-downs or write-offs of inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of (1) trucks, trailers and pickups; (2) water transfer pumps, pipe, lay flat hose, trailers, and other support equipment;
(3) real property which includes land and buildings used for office and shop facilities and wells used for the disposal of water; and (4) other equipment such as
tools  used  for  maintaining  and  repairing  vehicles,  office  furniture  and  fixtures,  and  computer  equipment.  Property  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost  less
accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes interest on certain qualifying assets that are undergoing activities to prepare them for their intended use. 
Interest costs incurred during the fabrication period are capitalized and amortized over the life of the assets. The Company charges repairs and maintenance
against income when incurred and capitalizes renewals and betterments, which extend the remaining useful life, expand the capacity or efficiency of the assets.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years.

Any  difference  between  net  book  value  of  the  property  and  equipment  and  the  proceeds  of  an  assets’  sale  or  settlement  of  an  insurance  claim  is

recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s earnings.

Leases

The Company conducts a major part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as operating leases. Normally, the
Company records rental expense on its operating leases over the lease term as it becomes payable. If rental payments are not made on a straight-line basis,
per terms of the agreement, the Company records a deferred rent expense and recognizes the rental expense on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.
The majority of the Company’s facility leases contain renewal clauses and expire through June 2022. In most cases, management expects that in the normal
course  of  business,  leases  will  be  renewed  or  replaced  by  other  leases.  As  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  had  deferred  rent  expense  of
$92,000 and $17,000, respectively.

The  Company  amortizes  leasehold  improvements  over  the  shorter  of  the  life  of  the  lease  or  the  life  of  the  improvements.  During  the  years  ended

December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized amortization for leasehold improvements of $26,000 and $7,000.

The Company has leased trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which were recorded as an operating lease. The Company recorded
rental  expense  on  equipment  under  operating  leases  over  the  lease  term  as  it  becomes  payable;  there  were  no  rent  escalation  terms  associated  with  these
equipment leases. The equipment leases contained a purchase options that allowed the Company to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease
term, based on the market price of the equipment at the time of the lease termination. In October 2015, the Company exercised the purchase option on three
frac heaters. There are no significant equipment leases outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset
may not be recovered. The Company reviews both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the business during the analysis of impairment. During the quantitative
review,  the  Company  reviews  the  undiscounted  future  cash  flows  in  its  assessment  of  whether  or  not  long-lived  assets  have  been  impaired.  No  impairments
were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings  (loss)  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss)  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  for  the  period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average
number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options and warrants.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire an aggregate  of 4,391,169 and 3,635,169 shares of
Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the
Company incurred losses of $8,551,000 and $1,261,000, respectively. Dilution is not permitted if there are net losses during the period. As such, the Company
does not show dilutive earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Derivative Instruments

The  Company  has  fair  value  swap  agreements  in  place  to  hedge  against  changes  in  interest  rates.  The  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  derivative
instruments  is  reflected  as  assets  or  liabilities  on  the  balance  sheets.  The  accounting  for  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  a  derivative  instrument  depends  on  the
intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation. Transactions related to the Company’s derivative instruments accounted for as hedges
are classified in the same category as the item hedged in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company did not hold derivative instruments for the
years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, for trading purposes.

The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreement with PNC as a fair value hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate

swap agreement are recorded in earnings.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets ( Note 7) based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable  income  in  the  years  in  which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to  be  recovered  or
settled.  The  effect  of  a  change  in  tax  rates  on  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  will  be  recognized  in  income  in  the  period  that  includes  the  enactment  date.
Deferred  income  taxes  are  classified  as  a  net  current  or  non-current  asset  or  liability  based  on  the  classification  of  the  related  asset  or  liability  for  financial
reporting purposes.  A deferred tax asset or liability that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting is classified according to the expected reversal
date.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that it believes is more likely than not expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
ultimate  resolution.  The  application  of  income  tax  law  is  inherently  complex.  Laws  and  regulations  in  this  area  are  voluminous  and  are  often  ambiguous.    As
such,  the  Company  is  required  to  make  many  subjective  assumptions  and  judgments  regarding  income  tax  exposures.  Interpretations  of  and  guidance
surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments which can
materially  affect  amounts  recognized  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  consolidated  statements  of  income.  The  result  of  the  reassessment  of  the
Company’s tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns
in the United States and in the states in which it conducts its business operations. The Company’s United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2012
through 2016 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years 2012 to 2016.

Fair Value

The Company follows authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis.
The  Company  also  applies  the  guidance  to  non-financial  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis,  including  non-competition
agreements and goodwill. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not change any of its
valuation techniques. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes
the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

65

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1:
Level 2:
Level 3:

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the award as described below, and is recognized

over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model as a method for determining the estimated grant date fair value for all stock options awarded to
employees,  independent  contractors,  officers,  and  directors.  The  expected  term  of  the  options  is  based  upon  evaluation  of  historical  and  expected  exercise
behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life of the
grant. Volatility is determined upon historical volatility of our stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The dividend yield
is assumed to be none as we have not paid dividends nor do we anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The  Company  also  uses  the  Black-Scholes  valuation  model  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  warrants.  Expected  volatility  is  based  upon  the  weighted
average  of  historical  volatility  over  the  contractual  term  of  the  warrant  and  implied  volatility.  The  risk-free  interest  rate  is  based  upon  implied  yield  on  a  U.S.
Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be none.

Loan Fees and Other Deferred Costs

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into loan agreements and amendments thereto with its primary lending institutions. The majority
of these lending agreements and amendments require origination fees and other fees in the course of executing the agreements. For all costs associated with
the execution of the lending agreements, the Company recognizes these as capitalized costs and amortizes these costs over the term of the loan agreement
using the effective interest method. These deferred costs are classified on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt
liability. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements or modification of the loan are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  evidence  of  an  arrangement  exists,  the  fee  is  fixed  or  determinable,  services  are  provided  and  collection  is

reasonably assured.

Management Estimates 

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Significant  estimates
include  the  realization  of  accounts  receivable,  evaluation  of  impairment  of  long-lived  assets,  stock  based  compensation  expense,  income  tax  provision,  the
valuation of deferred taxes, and the valuation of the Company’s interest rate swap. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2016 presentation. These reclassifications have

no effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers.  The  ASU  will  replace  most  existing  revenue  recognition  guidance  in  U.S.  GAAP  when  it  becomes  effective.  In  August  2015  the  FASB  agreed  to
defer the effective date by one year, the new standard becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of
either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the
balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of
expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
those  fiscal  years.  A  modified  retrospective  transition  approach  is  required  for  lessees  for  capital  and  operating  leases  existing  at,  or  entered  into  after,  the
beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new
standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting
for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify
for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of
awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit
and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The Company is evaluating the full effect that ASU 2016-09 will have
on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a
consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-15)”, that clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the
statement of cash flows. The guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of
more than one class of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual
periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt
issuance  costs  related  to  a  recognized  debt  liability  be  presented  in  the  balance  sheet  as  a  direct  deduction  from  the  carrying  amount  of  that  debt  liability,
consistent with debt discounts. The ASU was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods.
The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17,  “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which was effective for
annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax liabilities and
assets,  as  well  as  any  related  valuation  allowance,  be  classified  in  the  balance  sheet  as  non-current.  The  Company  has  elected  to  apply  this  guidance
retrospectively to all periods presented. Our adoption resulted in a reclassification of current deferred tax assets of $237,411 to an offset of long-term deferred
income taxes resulting in net long-term deferred income taxes of $4,417,043 as of December 31, 2015.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern”. The standard requires an entity's management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt
about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Public entities are required to apply
the  standard  for  annual  reporting  periods  ending  after  December  15,  2016,  and  interim  periods  thereafter.  Early  application  is  permitted.  The  adoption  of  this
guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In  July  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-11,  “Simplifying  the  Measurement  of  Inventory”,  effective  for  annual  and  interim  periods  beginning  after
December  15,  2016.  ASU  2015-11  changes  the  inventory  measurement  principle  for  entities  using  the  first-in,  first  out  (FIFO)  or  average  cost  methods.  For
entities utilizing one of these methods, the inventory measurement principle will change from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value.
The adoption of this guidance is did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2014 PNC Credit Facility

In September 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "2014 Credit Agreement") with
PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") which provides for a five-year $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility which replaced a prior revolving credit
facility and term loan with PNC that totaled $16 million (the "2012 Credit Agreement"). The 2014 Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to 85% of
eligible receivables and up to 75% of the appraised value of trucks and equipment. Under the 2014 Credit Agreement, there are no required principal payments
until maturity and the Company has the option to pay variable interest rate based on (i) 1, 2 or 3 month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.50% to
5.50%  for  LIBOR  Rate  Loans  or  (ii)  interest  at  PNC  Base  Rate  plus  an  applicable  margin  of  3.00%  to  4.00%  for  Domestic  Rate  Loans.  Interest  is  calculated
monthly  and  added  to  the  principal  balance  of  the  loan.  Additionally,  the  Company  incurs  an  unused  credit  line  fee  of  0.375%.  The  revolving  credit  facility  is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and subject to financial covenants. The outstanding principal loan balance matures on April 30, 2018.

EBITDA for the trailing four-quarter period ended on the applicable quarterly compliance test date. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be measured for
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016.

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement that among other things (i) required the Company

with the terms of the Tenth Amendment. It is expected that the letter of credit will be converted into subordinated debt with a maturity dated on or about April 15,
2022 with a stated interest rate of 12% per annum.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an outstanding principal loan balance of $23,180,514. The interest rate at December 31, 2016 ranged from

2016,  approximately  $4.5  million  was  available  under  the  revolving  credit  agreement.  As  of  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  was  in  compliance  with  its
covenants.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding principal loan balance of $20,706,241. The interest rate at December 31, 2015 ranged from
2.92% to 3.01% for the $20,250,000 of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans and 4.25% for the $456,241 of outstanding Domestic Rate Loans. As of December 31,
2015, approximately $9.9 million was available under the revolving credit agreement.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company has capitalized certain debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the PNC senior revolving credit facility discussed above  and  these
costs  are  being  amortized  to  interest  expense  over  the  term  of  the  credit  facility  using  the  effective  interest  method.  As  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,
$170,746  and  $140,570,  respectively  of  unamortized  debt  issuance  costs  were  included  in  Prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets  in  the  accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. The remaining long-term portion of debt issuance costs of $259,400 and $392,300 is included in Other Assets in the accompanying
consolidated  balance  sheet  for  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  respectively.  During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  amortized
$152,724 and $125,404 of these costs to Interest Expense.

Interest Rate Swap

On September 17, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with PNC which the Company designated as a fair value hedge
against the variability in future interest payments related to its 2014 Credit Agreement. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement include an initial notional
amount of $10 million, a fixed payment rate of 1.88% plus applicable a margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% paid by the Company and a floating payment rate
equal  to  LIBOR  plus  applicable  margin  of  4.50%  to  5.50%  paid  by  PNC.  The  purpose  of  the  swap  agreement  is  to  adjust  the  interest  rate  profile  of  the
Company’s debt obligations and to achieve a targeted mix of floating and fixed rate debt.

The Company engaged a valuation expert firm to complete the value of the swap utilizing an income approach from a discounted cash flow model. The
cash flows were discounted by the credit risk of the Company derived by industry and Company performance. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the discount
rate was 13.40% and 5.80%, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair market value of the swap instrument decreased by $72,000 and resulted in a decrease to
the  liability  and  a  reduction  in  interest  expense.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  the  fair  market  value  of  the  swap  increased  by  $163,000  and
resulted in an increase in the liability and additional interest expense. The interest rate swap liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the
Company’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the interest rate swap liability was $91,000 and $163,000, respectively.

The  interest  rate  swap  as  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015  consists  of  a  liability  of  $91,000  and  $163,000,  respectively  (classified  within  Accounts

payable and accrued liabilities).

The Company’s derivative instrument (e.g. interest rate swap, or “swap”) is valued using models which require a variety of inputs, including contractual
terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, and correlations of such inputs. Some of the model inputs used in valuing the derivative instruments trade in
liquid markets therefore the derivative instrument is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For applicable financial assets carried at fair value, the
credit  standing  of  the  counterparties  is  analyzed  and  factored  into  the  fair  value  measurement  of  those  assets.  The  fair  value  estimate  of  the  swap  does  not
reflect its actual trading value.

  Certain  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis.  These  assets  and  liabilities  are  not  measured  at  fair  value  on  an
ongoing  basis,  but  are  subject  to  fair  value  adjustments  in  certain  circumstances.  As  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  carrying  value  of  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  accrued  expenses,  and  interest  approximates  fair  value  due  to  the  short-term  nature  of  such  items.  The
carrying value of the Company’s credit agreement is carried at cost which is approximately the fair value of the debt as the related interest rate are at the terms
approximates rates currently available to the Company.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the

years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion 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 during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Based  upon  the  level  of  historical  taxable  income  and  projections  for  future  taxable  income  over  the  periods  in  which  the  deferred  tax  assets  are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred
tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

We have a requirement of reporting of taxes based on tax positions which meet a more likely than not standard and which are measured at the amount
that  is  more  likely  than  not  to  be  realized.    Differences  between  financial  and  tax  reporting  which  do  not  meet  this  threshold  are  required  to  be  recorded  as
unrecognized tax benefits.  This standard also provides guidance on the presentation of tax matters and the recognition of potential IRS interest and penalties.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company does not have an unrecognized tax liability.

The Company uses significant judgment in forming conclusions regarding the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and evaluates all available positive
and  negative  evidence  to  determine  if  it  is  more-likely-than-not  that  the  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized.  To  the  extent  recovery  does  not  appear  likely,  a
valuation allowance must be recorded. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of $6.8 million. These deferred tax assets reflect
the  expected  future  tax  benefits  to  be  realized  upon  reversal  of  deductible  temporary  differences,  and  the  utilization  of  net  operating  loss  and  tax  credit
carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $0.4 million related to non-qualified stock option expense. As of December

31, 2015, the Company did not record any valuation allowance.

While  management  believes  that  the  deferred  tax  assets,  net  of  existing  valuation  allowances  will  be  utilized  in  future  periods,  there  are  inherent
uncertainties regarding the ultimate realization of these assets. It is possible that the relative weight of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of
deferred tax assets may change, which could result in a material increase or decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance. Such a change could result in a
material increase or decrease to income tax expense in the period the assessment was made.

and penalties for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Interest and penalties of $3,740 were recognized in the statement of operations for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015.

The  Company  files  tax  returns  in  the  United  States,  in  various  states  including  Colorado,  Kansas,  North  Dakota,  Ohio  and  Pennsylvania.  The
Company’s United States federal income tax filings for tax years 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax
filings remain open for tax years 2012 to 2016.

Note 9 – Stockholders Equity

Secondary Stock Offering

On December 2, 2016, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement for the offer and sale in a firm commitment offering of 11,250,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock, $0.005 par value per share, at a public offering price of $0.40 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company
granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,687,500 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Initial
Shares,  the  “Shares”)  at  the  public  offering  price.  On  December  5,  2016,  the  Underwriter  exercised  in  full  its  option  to  purchase  the  Additional  Shares.  The
Company  collected  gross  proceeds  of  $5,175,000  which  was  offset  by  offering  costs  of  $758,795,  for  net  proceeds  of  $4,416,204.  The  offering  costs  were
recorded  as  an  offset  in  additional  paid  in  capital.  The  Company  used  the  net  proceeds  to  repay  outstanding  indebtedness  under  its  revolving  credit  facility
thereby increasing its liquidity for general corporate purposes, working capital, acquisitions and/or capital expenditures.

Stock Issued for Services

During  fiscal  years  ended  December  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  issued  3,031  and  15,971  shares  of  common  stock  to  a  consultant  as  partial
compensation for services provided to the Company. The shares were granted under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and were fully vested and unrestricted at the
time of issuance. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $1,714 and $10,380 of consulting expense for these services as
non-cash compensation in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In conjunction with a private placement transaction and subordinated debt conversion in November 2012, the Company granted warrants to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at $0.55 per share for a five year term. Each of the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The
warrants also provide that subject to various conditions, the holders have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that may be
acquired upon the exercise of the warrants. As of December 31, 2016, 150,001 of these warrants remain outstanding and exercisable.

In June 2016, the Company granted a principal of the Company’s existing investor relations firm warrants to acquire 30,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock in connection with a reduction of the firms ongoing monthly cash service fees. The warrants were issued at an initial exercise price of $0.70 per
share, subject to further adjustment based on a volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 10 days prior to the issuance date of the warrants. There were
no adjustments made to the exercise price at date of issuance. The warrants had a grant-date fair value of $0.36 per share and vest over a one year period,
15,000 on December 21, 2016 and 15,000 on June 21, 2017, provided the principal of the investor relations firm remains a consultant of the Company at time of
vesting.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  expensed  $5,300  for  the  warrants  and  will  expense  an  addition  $5,300  over  each  service
month until July 1, 2017.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  warrants  to  acquire  100,000  shares  were  exercised  for  cash  payments  totaling  $77,100.  The  warrants

exercised had a total intrinsic value of $102,000 at the time of exercise. No warrants were issued during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 10 – Stock Options

Stock Option Plans

On  July  27,  2010,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  2010  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the  “2010  Plan”).  The  aggregate  number  of  shares  of
common stock that could be granted under the 2010 Plan was reset at the beginning of each year based on 15% of the number of shares of common stock then
outstanding.  As  such,  on  January  1,  2016  the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  available  under  the  2010  Plan  was  reset  to  5,719,069  shares  based  upon
38,127,129 shares outstanding on that date. Options were typically granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company's common
stock at the date of grant with a vesting schedule of one to three years and a contractual term of 5 years. As discussed below, the 2010 Plan has been replaced
by a new stock option plan and no additional stock option grants will be granted under the 2010 Plan. As of December 31, 2016, there were options to purchase
2,251,168 shares outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

On July 18, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the Enservco Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”),
which was approved by the stockholders on September 29, 2016. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted under the 2016 Plan
is 8,000,000 shares plus authorized and unissued shares from the 2010 Plan totaling 2,391,711 for a total reserve of 10,391,711 shares. As of December 31,
2016, there were options to purchase 1,960,000 shares outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s
common stock and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised
their options on December 31, 2016.

As discussed below in the Forfeiture and Grant of Stock Options paragraph, on July 18, 2016, options to purchase 2,560,000 shares of common stock
that  were  granted  under  the  2010  Plan  to  certain  officers  and  directors  were  cancelled  pursuant  to  certain  letter  agreements.  The  Company  subsequently
granted  options  to  purchase  1,960,000  of  shares  under  the  2016  Plan,  which  was  approved  by  the  stockholders  on  September  29,  2016.  The  New  Options
contain relatively the same terms as the forfeited options, with the exception that the exercise price on New Options was not below the closing market price on
the date the Special Committee approved the New Options. Accordingly, the Company will treat the forfeiture and granting of New Options as a modification of
stock options for accounting purposes.

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  recognized  stock-based  compensation  costs  for  stock  options  of  $661,924  and
$617,529, respectively in general and administrative expenses. The Company currently expects all outstanding options to vest. Compensation cost is revised if
subsequent information indicates that the actual number of options vested due to service is likely to differ from previous estimates.

Forfeiture and Grant of Stock Options

On June 17, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee of disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) to address certain claims in
a letter dated June 14, 2016 from an attorney purporting to represent a stockholder of the Company regarding the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the
“2010 Plan”) and equity awards granted thereunder. After investigation and consultation with special counsel, the Special Committee verified that certain stock
options granted under the 2010 Plan had exceeded an applicable limitation in the 2010 Plan.

On  July  7,  2016,  the  Special  Committee  unanimously  approved:  (a)  the  rescission  (and  forfeiture  by  the  holders)  of  certain  stock  option  awards  to
purchase  2,560,000  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  that  had  been  granted  to  various  officers  and  directors  in  excess  of  the  2010  Plan’s  limitations
(“Excess Shares”), and (b) the grant of new options to purchase 1,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Options”), pursuant to the 2016
Plan. The New Options were subject to: (i) each of the option holders entering into a rescission letter agreement with the Company and (ii) stockholder approval
of the 2016 Plan.

On July 18, 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the 2016 Plan, which after stockholder approval thereof, replaced the
2010 Plan. Further, the Company entered into rescission letter agreements with the various executive officers and directors whereby each such officer/director
agreed  to  forfeit  their  Excess  Shares.  The  Company  agreed  to  grant  the  New  Options  pursuant  to  new  stock  option  agreements  that  provide  for  vesting  on
substantially the same schedule as the Excess Shares would have vested but could not have been exercised prior to stockholder approval of the 2016 Plan on
September 29, 2016. The exercise price of the New Options is the greater of the original exercise price of the Excess Shares or the closing market price on July
7, 2016, the date the Special Committee approved the New Options. Under the letter agreements, the termination date of each New Option is the termination
date of the rescinded option, except that if the termination date of the rescinded option is prior to the two-year anniversary of the date of the letter agreement,
then the termination date of the New Option is extended six months past the termination date of the rescinded option. Further, the Company agreed to submit
the 2016 Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval and on September 29, 2016, the stockholders approved the 2016 Plan. The re-priced options did
not have any change in the non-cash compensation recognize during the period, since the re-priced fair-value was not in excess of the original fair value.

an immaterial amount in settlement of the matter above.

HydroFLOW Agreement

             Pursuant to a Sales Agreement with HydroFLOW USA, HWWM has the exclusive right to sell or rent patented hydropath devices in connection with
bacteria  deactivation  and  scale  treatment  services  for  treating  injection  and  disposal  wells,  fracking  water  and  recycled  water  in  the  oil  and  gas  industry  to
HWWM  customers  in  the  United  States.  Pursuant  to  the  sales  agreement,  HWWM  is  required  to  pay  3.5%  royalties  of  its  gross  revenues  on  certain  rental
transactions and, in order to maintain the exclusivity provision under the agreement, the Company must purchase approximately $655,000 of equipment per year
commencing in 2016 and ending 2025. In November 2016, the Company and HydroFLOW USA agreed to allocate $220,000 of the 2016 commitment to 2017,
thereby  increasing  the  minimum  purchase  requirement  for  2017  to  $875,000.  During  2016,  the  Company  purchased  $155,000  of  equipment  and  ordered
$280,000 of equipment to meet its 2016 purchase commitment for exclusivity. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not accrue or pay
any royalties to HydroFLOW.

Equipment Purchase Commitments

As  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  did  not  have  any  outstanding  purchase  commitments  related  to  the  purchase  of  equipment  and

In June 2015, the Company elected to become self-insured under its Employee Group Medical Plan for the first $75,000 per individual participant. The
Company has accrued a liability of approximately $22,700 and $39,500 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for insurance claims that
it anticipates paying in the future related to incidents that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Litigation

Enservco Corporation (“Enservco”) and its subsidiary Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC (“Heat Waves”) are defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in
Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that alleges that Enservco and Heat Waves, in offering and selling frac water heating services,
infringed and induced others to infringe two patents owned by Heat-On-The-Fly, LLC (“HOTF”). The complaint relates to only a portion of the frac water heating
services provided by Heat Waves. The Colorado Case is now stayed pending resolution of appeal by HOTF of a North Dakota court’s ruling that the primary
patent (“the ‘993 Patent”) in the Colorado Case was invalid. Neither Enservco nor Heat Waves is a party to the North Dakota Case, which involves other energy
companies.

In the event that HOTF’s appeal is successful and the ‘993 Patent is found to be valid and/or enforceable in the North Dakota Case, the Colorado Case
may  resume.  To  the  extent  that  Enservco  and  Heat  Waves  are  unsuccessful  in  their  defense  of  the  Colorado  Case,  they  could  be  liable  for  enhanced
damages/attorneys’  fees  (both  of  which  may  be  significant)  and  Heat  Waves  could  possibly  be  enjoined  from  using  any  technology  that  is  determined  to  be
infringing. Either result could negatively impact Heat Waves’ business and operations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this case,
and accordingly has not recorded an accrual for any potential loss.

Note 12- Segment Reporting

Enservco’s  reportable  business  segments  are  Well  Enhancement  Services,  Water  Transfer  Services,  Water  Hauling  Services,  and  Construction
Services.  These  segments  have  been  selected  based  on  changes  in  management’s  resource  allocation  and  performance  assessment  in  making  decisions
regarding the Company.

The following is a description of the segments.

Well Enhancement Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of frac water heating units, hot oil trucks and acidizing units to provide well enhancement and
completion  services  to  the  domestic  oil  and  gas  industry.  These  services  include  frac  water  heating,  hot  oil  services,  pressure  testing,  and  acidizing
services.

Water  Transfer Services:  This  segment  utilizes  a  high  and  low  volume  pumps,  lay  flat  hose,  aluminum  pipe  and  manifolds  and  related  equipment  to
move fresh and/or recycled water from a water source such as a pond, lake, river, stream, or water storage facility to frac tanks at drilling locations to be
used  in  connection  with  well  completion  activities.  Also  included  in  this  segment  are  water  treatment  services  whereby  the  Company  uses  patented
hydropath technology under a sales agreement with HydroFLOW USA to remove bacteria and scale from water.

Water Hauling Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and related assets, including specialized tank trucks, vacuum trailers, storage tanks, and
disposal facilities to provide various water hauling services. These services are primarily provided by Dillco in the Hugoton Field.

Construction Services: This segment utilizes a fleet of trucks and equipment to provide excavation grading, and dirt hauling services to the oil and gas
and construction industry. In 2016, the Company started utilizing these assets to provide dirt hauling services to a general contractor in Colorado.
