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) and water
transfer services. The Company owns and operates a fleet of more than 450  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
Stack and Scoop plays in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma.

Enservco was originally in corporated 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 999 18th Street, Suite 1925N, Denver, CO 80202. Our telephone number is (303) 333-

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

On  October  26,  2018,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Membership  Interest  Purchase  Agreement  (the  “Agreement”)  with  Adler  Hot  Oil  Holdings,  LLC,  a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Adler Hot Oil Service,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adler”) for a gross aggregate purchase price of $12.5 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the
“Transaction”). Certain former members of Adler are also parties to the Agreement. Adler is a provider of frac water heating and hot oiling services, whose assets
consist primarily of vehicles and equipment, with a complementary base of customers in several oil and gas producing basins where the Company operates.

Overview of Business Operations

Enservco primarily conducts its business operations through its principal operating subsidiaries (Heat Waves, HWWM, and Adler), 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, HWWM, and Adler in their business operations are owned by other subsidiary entities. The
Company currently operates in the following geographic regions:

• Rocky Mountain Region, including eastern Colorado and southern Wyoming (D-J Basin and Niobrara formations), central Wyoming (Powder River and

Green River Basins), northwestern New Mexico (San Juan Basin), and western North Dakota and eastern Montana (Bakken area). The Rocky Mountain
Region operations are deployed from Heat Waves’  and Adler's operations centers in Killdeer, ND, Williston, ND; Rock Springs, WY, Douglas, WY, and,
Platteville, CO. 

• 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. 

• Central USA Region, including the Texas panhandle, and northwestern Oklahoma, and the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas. The Central USA Region

operations are deployed from operations centers in 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)

(3)

(4)

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 during 2018, acquired the outstanding membership interests of Adler Hot Oil Services, LLC, a provider of
frac water heating and hot oiling services, for a gross aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. 

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. In early 2019,
the Company expanded operations in the Powder River Basin by opening a new operations center in Douglas, Wyoming.

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 to its customers in all of its operating areas.

During  2018,  we  acquired  Adler  Hot  Oil  Service,  LLC  in  order  to  expand  our  market  share  in  the  Bakken  formation,  DJ  Basin,  and
Marcellus/Utica shale formation.

During 2018, relatively stable commodity prices and rig activity in North America resulted in modest increases in production and completion activities by
our  customers,  which  led  to  generally  stronger  demand  for  our  services.  While  demand  and  pricing  for  the  services  we  provide  remain  below  levels  we
experienced  before  the  industry  downturn  that  began  in  the  last  half  of  2014,  we  believe  current  activity  levels  will  support  continued  modest  improvement  in
both metrics. The Company has reacted to increases in demand by allocating resources to our most active customers and basins, as we focus on increasing
utilization levels and optimizing the deployment of our equipment and workforce, and maintaining a high service quality and safety record. The recent market
recovery  has  also  allowed  us  to  compete  on  the  basis  of  the  quality  and  breadth  of  our  service  offerings,  as  our  customers  focus  on  optimization  in
production.  As  of  March  15,  2019,  we  had  approximately  $35.2  million  outstanding  and  $1.6  million  available  under  our  revolving  credit  facility.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information.

Operating Entities

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

operations and assets of Enservco’s operating subsidiaries.

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 well s 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 Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, West
Virginia, and Wyoming.

HWWM. HWWM provides water transfer services 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 well, pond, lake, river,
stream, or water storage facility to frac tanks at drilling locations to be used in connection with well completion activities. 

Adler. Adler provides frac water heating, hot oiling, and ancillary services to major oil and natural gas companies in Colorado, North Dakota, Ohio, and

Pennsylvania. Adler was established as a Delaware Limited Liability Company on September 25, 2013.

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 and Adler which, as of December 31, 2018 utilized a fleet of 246 custom designed trucks and other related equipment. Heat Waves’
operations  are  currently  in  northwestern  Oklahoma,  Texas  panhandle,  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 91% and 94% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and
2017, 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. As of December 31, 2018, Heat Waves and Adler owned and operated a fleet of 80 frac heaters 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. As of December 31, 2018, Heat
Waves owned and operated a fleet of 7 acidizing units, each of 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  this  paraffin
builds up depends on the chemical character of the crude oil or natural gas being produced. These services are 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. As of December 31, 2018, Heat Waves and
Adler owned and operated a fleet of 73 Hot Oiling units. Based on customer needs and seasonal conditions, these vehicles are deployed among the servic e
regions as necessary in seeking to maximize their productive time.

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

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 – 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
transfer services accounted for approximately 9% and 6% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 the company's Loan and Security Agreement with its bank lender.

Historically, as supply and demand require , the Company has leased additional trucks and equipment from time to time. These leases are generally for
periods  of  less  than  one  year,  and  therefore  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 a nd 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.

10

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,  availability,  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 ope rations.

As  of  December  31,  2018,  no  single  customer  comprised  more  than  10%  of  the  Company’s  accounts  receivable  balance.  Revenues  from  one

customer represented approximately 10% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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. Further, the Company believes that if our customers shift production from any of the
geographies in which we operate, we could effectively re-deploy our equipment into other geographies.

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 2018, approximately 70% of revenue was earned during the first and fourth fiscal quarters. 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 p ressure testing are performed throughout the year with higher revenues typically during non-winter months.

We  believe  water  transfer  services  are  not  seasonal.  However,  our  water  transfer  services  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

As is the situation with all companies in the frac water heating service business, we rely on certain procedures and pract

ices 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. Further, Adler has been issued three United States patents and one Canadian  patent and has two United
States patents pending related to aspects of the frac water heating process. 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.

Government Regulation 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a variety of government regulations ranging from environmental to Occupational Safety and Health Act
("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 trend in environmental legislation
and regulation is generally toward stricter standards, and we expect that this trend will continue as 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. 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 Liabilit y 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 (Okl ahoma) 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 conducted a national study examining the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources and issued a final assessment report in
December 2016, which concluded that hydraulic fracturing activities can impact drinking water resources under some circumstances and identifies factors that
influence these impacts.

We  incur,  and  expect  to  continue  to  incur,  capital  and  operating  costs  to  comply  with  t he  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  rest rict  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 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,  Adler,  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 February 28, 2019, the Company employed 231 full time employees. Of these employees, 149 are employed by Heat Waves, 29 by Adler, 36 by

HWWM, and 17 are employed by Enservco. From time to time, the Company may hire contractors to perform work.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An  investment  in  our  common  stock  may  be  considered  speculative  and  involves  a  high  degree  of  risk,  including  among  other  items  the  risk  factors
described below. These 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 Rel ated Risks

While  our  growth  strategy  includes  seeking  acquisitions  of  other  oilfield  services  companies,  we  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 common 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  we  intend  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 we 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.

Our business is materially impacted by seasonal weather conditions.

Our businesses, particularly our frac heating and hot oil services, are impacted by weather conditions and temperatures. Unseasonably warm weather
during  winter  months  reduces  demand  for  the  heating  services  and  results  in  higher  operating  costs,  as  a  percentage  of  revenue,  due  to  the  need  to  retain
equipment  operators  during  these  low  demand  periods. 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.

16

Further, during the winter months, our customers may delay operations or we may not be able to operate or mo ve our equipment between locations

during periods of heavy snow, ice or rain, and during the spring some areas impose transportation restrictions due to muddy conditions caused by spring thaws.

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

We periodically seek to increase the prices of our services to offset rising costs and to generate increased revenues.  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 operate 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 a bility 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  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 skilled 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.

New U.S. tax legislation could adversely affect us and our shareholders.

On December 22, 2017, legislation referred to as the Tax Act was signed into law. The Tax Act is generally effective for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2017. The Tax Act includes significant amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, including amendments that significantly change the taxation of
business entities, including the deductibility of interest. Some of the amendments could adversely affect our business and financial condition, including by limiting
our ability to realize tax benefits from our NOLs, however we expect that, ultimately, the reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% should be
beneficial to us.

Our business depends on domestic (United States) spending by the crude oil and natural gas industry which has suffered significant 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, many exploration and production companies substantially reduced drilling programs at times and required
service  providers  to  make  pricing  concessions.  Over  the  two  years  ended  December  31,  2017,  we  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.

18

Industry conditions and specifically the market price for crude oil and natural gas are influenced by numerous domestic and global factors over which we
have 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 perceived economic conditions. 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 many of our customers. Where declining
prices  lead  to  reduced  exploration  and  development  activities  in  our  market  areas,  the  reduction  in  exploration  and  development  activities  also  may  have  a
negative  long-term  impact  on  our  business.  Several  month  periods  of  low  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 experienced in 2014.

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 our service areas, particularly in Colorado. The Colorado legislature is considering a bill that in our view would significantly restrict oil and
gas drilling in Colorado, thereby negatively affecting our revenues. 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 production maintenance and completion services. Oil and gas prices, as well as demand for our services, also depend upon other factors that are beyond our
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.

On  going  volatility  and  uncertainty  in  the  domestic  and  global  economic  and  political  environments  have  caused  the  oilfield  services  industry  to
experience demand volatility. 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. We believe that 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 our services,
the rates we can charge, and equipment utilization. In addition, certain of our customers could become unable to pay their suppliers, including us. 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  Ian  Dickinson,  Kevin  Kersting  or  Dustin
Bradford, could disrupt our operations. Although we have entered or intend to enter into employment agreements with Messrs. Dickinson, Kersting and Bradford,
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. 

Our top five customers accounted for approximately 36% and 43% of our total annual revenues for 2018 and 2017, 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 our results of operations. 

While  we  believe  our  equipment  could  be  redeployed  in  the  current  market  environment  if  we  lost  any  material  customers,  such  loss  could  have  an
adverse effect on our business until the equipment is redeployed. We believe that the market for our 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.
We have no influence over our customers’ capital expenditures. On-going economic volatility could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Over the last several years, oil prices have experienced significant swings. Significant and sustained price declines have historically caused many of our
customers to reduce or delay their oil and natural gas exploration and production spending, which consequently resulted in decreased demand for our services,
and exerted downward pressure on the prices we charged for our services and products.

Also, an environment of increasing oil and natural gas prices 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 us of providing those services, has generally increased along with increases in
oil and natural gas prices. The reduction in cash flows experienced by our customers during periods of lower oil and natural gas 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 us, 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.

We use hazardous substances and transport hazardous wastes in our 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  us  to  incur  costs  and  penalties,  or  become  the  basis  of  new  or
increased  liabilities  that  could  reduce  its  earnings  and  cash  available  for  operations.  We  believe  we  are  currently  in  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 us. Our larger competitors have greater resources
that allow those competitors to compete more effectively than us. Our 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.

We 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  other  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 and in 2017, a second patent was issued. 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  15,  2019,  the  U.S.  Court  of  Appeals  for  the  Federal  Circuit  has  dismissed  this  case  in  its  entirety  without  any  finding  of
wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves.

In  October  2014,  we  were  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. On March 15, 2019, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit has dismissed this case in its entirety without any finding of wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves. (See Item 3 – Litigation,  for
more information about this matter.)

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 us.

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.

We  maintain  insurance  coverage  that  we  believe  to  be  customary  in  the  industry  against  these  hazards.  In  addition,  in  June  2015,  we  became  self-
insured under our Employee Group Medical Plan for the first $50,000 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  to  us.  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.

Failure to successfully integrate the operations of Adler could materially increase our costs with a resulting negative effect on our results of

operations.

Our recent acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC will require an integration of its operations into our operations. While we are optimistic about the
integration  of  Adler,  we  may  experience  unforeseen  delays  and  operational  issues  in  seeking  to  complete  the  integration.  These  unforeseen  circumstances
could  include  employee  turnover,  significant  management  time  devoted  to  the  integration,  loss  of  Adler  customers,  as  well  as  discovery  of  unanticipated
liabilities. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our operations, revenues and liquidity. In addition, we have financed a significant portion of
the Adler acquisition through payment of a note to the Seller. Payment of the notes will have a significant negative effect on our liquidity.

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 and revisions of applicable state regulations could adversely impact our business.

Some states (including Colorado) and certain municipalities have regulated, or are considering regulating fracking which, if accomplished, could impact
certain of our operations. While we do 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 our business operations and revenues.

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, 2018, we had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $23.5 million and state NOLs of approximately $27.7 million.

While  our  growth  strategy  includes  seeking  acquisitions  of  other  oilfield  services  companies,  we  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 focu sed 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.

24

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. 

Debt Related Risks

Our  indebtedness,  which  is  currently  collateralized  by  substantial ly  all  of  our  assets,  could  restrict  our  operations  and  make  us  more

vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company owed approximately $40.4 million to banks, financial institutions, and other parties under various collateralized

debt obligations.

25

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,  and

■ Increase our vulnerability to interest rate increases to the extent that we incur  additional variable rate indebtedness.  

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 debt agreements.

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, East West Bank.

The Company’s agreements with East West Bank impose various obligations and financial covenants on the Company. The outstanding amount under
the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, entered into with East West Bank in August 2017 and amended in November 2017 and October 2018 is due in
August  2020.  The  revolving  credit  agreement  with  East  West  Bank  has  a  variable  interest  rate  and  is  collateralized  by  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  the
Company and its subsidiaries.

Further,  the  related  ag reements  with  East  West  Bank  impose  various  financial  covenants  on  the  Company  including  maintaining  a  prescribed  fixed
charge coverage ratio, a minimum liquidity ratio at certain times, and limit the Company's ability to make capital investments. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to comply with these covenants in the future, or that if we violate a covenant East West Bank would be willing to provide a waiver of such covenant.
Violation of these covenants could result in the acceleration of maturities under the default provisions of our loan and security agreement. As of December 31,
2018, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

The  variable  rate  indebtedness  with  East  West  Bank  subjects  us  to  interest  rate  risk,  which  could  cause  our  debt  service  obligations  to

increase significantly.

The  Company’s  borrowings  through  East  West  Bank  bear  interest  at  variable  rates,  exposing  the  Company  to  interest  rate  risk.  As  of  December  31,
2018,  the  Company  had entered  into  a  hedging  arrangement  to  protect  against  the  interest  rate  risk  associated  with  a  portion  of  the  balance  of  the  senior
revolving credit facility. 

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

As of December 31, 2018, we had borrowed approximately $33.9 million under our senior revolving credit facility and had approximately $3.0 million of
borrowing capacity available under this facility. Additionally, as of December 31, 2018 we owed approximately  $6.5 million to other parties pursuant to various
secured and unsecured subordinate debt agreements. Although the Company plans to utilize cash flow from operations during the first half of 2019 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 material adverse risks. In particular, a high level of indebtedness may make it more likel y 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 variable
rates. An increase in our interest rates 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 our common stock. 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
pay  down  debt  and  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 East West Bank, our principal lender that we will not pay any cash dividends on our common stock until our obligations to East West Bank 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 common 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  performan ce,  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 for such
shares. 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 over the past several years. 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  would  experience  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 c apital 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 American listing.

Our common stock has sold and may  continue to sell at a price per share well below $1.00. The NYSE American 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  American  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 t he election of directors or engage in a change of

control transaction.

Five stockholders directly and indirectly own approximately 50.1% 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 i ndemnification 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 American.

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  American  rules.  The  NYSE
American rules contain requirements with respect to corporate governance, communications with shareholders, and various other matters.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

Enservco and Heat Waves were defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that
alleged 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., the ‘993 Patent and the ‘875 Patent.  In March of 2019, the parties moved to dismiss the Colorado Case.  On March 15, 2019,
the Colorado Case was dismissed in its entirety without any finding of wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves.   

HOTF dismissed its claims with regard to the ‘993 Patent with prejudice and its claims with regard to the ‘875 Patent without prejudice.  However, HOTF
agreed not to sue Enservco or Heat Waves in the future for infringement of the ‘875 Patent based on the same type of frac water heating services offered by
Heat Waves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF without prejudice in order to preserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was pending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, which were related to the ‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of
the Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, a North Dakota federal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that
the  ‘993  Patent  was  invalid.  The  same  court  also  found  that  the  ‘993  Patent  was  unenforceable  due  to  inequitable  conduct  by  the  patent  owner  and/or  the
inventor.  The  Federal  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  later  confirmed,  among  other  things,  the  North  Dakota  court’s  findings  of  inequitable  conduct.    In  light  of  the
foregoing, 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 these additional HOTF patents.

Holders

As of March 15, 2019, there were 445  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, 2018 or 2017, 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 East West Bank,
our principal lender, the Company represented that it would not pay any cash dividends on its common stock until its obligations to East West Bank are satisfied.
Furthermore,  to  the  extent  the  Company  has  any  earnings,  it  will  likely  retain  earnings  to  pay  down  debt,  or  expand  corporate  operations  and  not  use  such
earnings to pay dividends.

options under the Company’s frozen 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (see below for further information).

Consists  of 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 share.

Calculated  as  10,391,711  shares  of  common  stock  reserved  for  the  2016  Stock  Incentive  Plan  less  2,637,165  options  outstanding  or
exercised under the 2016 Plan and 836,667 of Restricted Stock Award shares outstanding under the 2016 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 o ption grants will be granted under the 2010
Plan. However, as of December 31, 2018, there were options to purchase 834,166 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 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.  On  November  29,  2017,  the  Board  of  Directors
established a compensation committee that will administer the 2016 Plan.

The  aggregate  number  of  shares  of  our  common  stock reserved  for  issuance  under  the  2016  Plan  will  not  exceed  10,391,711  shares  through
September 29, 2026 (the stated life of the 2016 plan). As of December 31, 2018, there were options to purchase 1,710,499 shares outstanding, 926,666 options
had been exercised pursuant to the 2016 Plan, and 836,667 Restricted Stock Award 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 were 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. None of these warrants remain outstanding at December 31, 2018.

In  June  2017,  in  connection  with  a  subordinated  loan  agreement ,  the  Company  granted  Cross  River  Partners,  L.P.  two  five-year  warrants  to  buy  an
aggregate  total  of  1,612,902  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  at  an  exercise  price  of  $0.31  per  share,  the  average  closing  price  of  the  Company’s
common  stock  for  the  20-day  period  ended  May  11,  2017.  The  warrants  had  a  grant-date  fair  value  of  $0.19  per  share  and  vested  in  full  on  June  28,  2017.
These warrants are accounted for as a liability in the balance sheet included in our financial statements included in Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On  June  29,  2018,  all  of  these  warrants  were  exercised,  resulting  in  the  issuance  of  $1,612,902  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock,  and  resulting  in
proceeds of approximately $500,000 which were used to repay subordinated debt due to Cross River Partners, L. P. 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities 

On November 30, 2017, a principal of the Company’s investor relations firm exercised common stock warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of Common
Stock, $0.005 par value, of the Company. The warrants were granted pursuant to an investor relations services agreement between the Company and that firm
as partial compensation for that firm’s part in creating awareness for the Company’s private equity placement in November 2012. The warrants were exercisable
at  $0.55  per  share  for  a  five-year  term  ending  on  November  30,  2017.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  warrant  agreement,  the  warrants  were  exercised  on  a
cashless basis and resulted in the issuance of 26,729 shares of common stock to the holder, and no cash proceeds to the Company. There were no underwriters
involved  in  any  of  the  exercise  transactions,  and  the  Company  paid  no  commissions  or  other  remuneration  as  a  result  of  the  exercise  of  the  warrants.  The
holder of the warrant to whom the shares were issued is an existing security holder of the Company and represented to the Company that he is an accredited
investor;  therefore,  the  shares  were  issued  in  reliance  upon  the  exemptions  from  registration  provided  in  Section  3(a)(9),  and  Sections  4(a)(2)  and  (5)  of  the
Securities Act, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.  The transaction was made without any form of advertising or general solicitation, and the
holder  of  the  warrant  represented  to  the  Company  that  he  intended  to  acquire  the  shares  for  investment  purposes  only  and  without  a  view  toward  further
distribution.

On  June  29,  2018,  Cross  River  Partners,  L.P.  ("Cross  River")  exercised  warrants  to  acquire  1,612,902  shares  of  our  common  stock.  Proceeds  of
$500,000 were used to reduce the principal balance of a subordinated loan held by Cross River. There were no underwriters involved in the transaction and the
Company issued the shares to Cross River in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction not
involving a public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of that act.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2018 Highlights

Increased Revenues and Segment Profits by 27%
Improved EBITDA by $1.1 million

•
•
• Strategically reallocated assets to focus on better performing basins and customers
•
• Revamped executive team

Increased market share through acquisition of Adler

Executive Summary

In 2018, overall demand for our services increased due to generally stable and modestly improved industry conditions compared to 2017. Our acquisition
of Adler in October 2018 enhanced our position for frac water heating and hot oiling services in most of the basins we operate. Relative stability in completion
activity, aided by relatively stable oil and gas prices, allowed us to grow relationships with our largest customers by offering bundled services (e.g. frac water
heating and water transfer as a combined service), and obtain more commitments from our frac water heating customers through our heating season, and from
our water transfer customers for multi-well projects, than we were able to obtain in recent years. During 2018, we also ceased operations of Dillco Fluid Service,
Inc. and our Heat Waves location in Kansas, while increasing our presence in the Powder River Basin in eastern Wyoming, due to our outlook for activity levels
in each location.

Revenues for 2018 increased $9.9 million, or 27%, over 2017, due to a  23% increase in our core well enhancement revenue.   Higher frac water heating
revenues in our Rocky Mountain region, improved demand for hot oil services in the Bakken, and continued expansion of hot oiling and acidizing services in the
Eagle Ford all contributed to the increase in well enhancement revenues.  Water transfer revenues were approximately $2.0 million higher than last year due to
continued expansion of services.

Segment  profits  for  2018  improved  by  approximately  $2.0  million  or  27%,  to  profit  of  approximately  $9.5  million  from  a  profit  of
approximately $7.4 million in 2017 due to improved results from our well enhancement services and the improved results from our water transfer
segment. Selling, general, & administrative expenses, excluding severance and transition costs and acquisition-related expenses, increased by
approximately  $833,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  compared  to  2017,  due  primarily  to  the  addition  of  a  formal  business
development team, in addition to increases in compensation costs and benefits. In 2018, the resignations of officer and the Senior Vice President
of Operations resulted in Severance and Transition costs of approximately $633,000. Severance and transition costs related to the resignation of
two  officers  of  approximately  $784,000  were  incurred  during  2017.  Interest  expense  for  2018  was  essentially  flat  primarily  due  to  $327,000  of
accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs related to reduction in term and extinguishment of the credit facility provided by PNC during 2017,
being mostly offset by an increase in borrowing costs due to the higher average borrowing balance, which in turn were incurred in connection with
the Adler acquisition. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a net loss of approximately $ 5.9 million or ($0.11) per share compared to a net loss
of $6.9 million or ($0.14) per share last year primarily due to the increase in higher margin well enhancement revenues, partially offset by increases in Selling,
general, and administrative costs.

Adjusted  EBITDA  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  was  approximately  $ 4.9  million  compared  to  approximately  $3.8  million  in  2017.  Adjusted

Industry Overview 

During 2018, relatively stable commodity prices and rig activity in North America resulted in modest increases in production and completion activities by
our  customers,  which  led  to  generally  stronger  demand  for  our  services.  While  demand  and  pricing  for  the  services  we  provide  remain  below  levels  we
experienced before the industry downturn that began in the last half of 2014, we believe current activity levels should support continued modest improvement in
both metrics. The Company has reacted to increases in demand by allocating resources to our most active customers and basins, as we focus on increasing
utilization levels and optimizing the deployment of our equipment and workforce, and maintaining a high service quality and safety record. The recent market
recovery  has  also  allowed  us  to  compete  on  the  basis  of  the  quality  and  breadth  of  our  service  offerings,  as  our  customers  are  focused  on  optimization  in
production.  

The United States rig count bottomed out at approximately 400 in the spring of 2016 and increased to approximately 1,080 as of December 31, 2018

compared to approximately 930 at December 31, 2017, which translated into increased activity for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 2017. 

Segment Overview

Enservco’s reportable business segments are Well Enhancement Services and Water Transfer 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, pressure pumping,
and acidizing services. This segment includes the results of operations of Heat Waves and Adler.

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.

For 2018, well enhancement service revenue increased $8.1 million, or 23%, to $42.8 million. The increased demand for services is due to increased

demand for services due to improved industry conditions led to increased activity with our customer base.

Frac  water  heating  revenues  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  increased   48%  to  $27.3  million  compared  to  $18.4  million  in  2017. Improved
industry conditions including higher commodity prices and increased drilling rig activity increased demand for our services over 2017. Our acquisition of Adler
allowed us to realize revenue from several customers we did not previously perform significant work for, and allowed us to increase services to other customers,
particularly  in  the  Bakken  and  D-J  Basin.  We  experienced  increased  demand  in  the  Marcellus  Shale  and  Utica  Shale  locations  in  Pennsylvania  as  general
industry activity has increased in the region particularly as compared to the 2016-2017 heating season.

Hot  oil  revenues  for   the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  increased  5%  to  $11.7  million  compared  to  $11.1  million  in  2017. Our  acquisition  of  Adler

provided for increased revenues in the DJ Basin and North Dakota, and we experienced modest growth in hot oil revenues from our operation in south Texas.

Acidizing revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased 19% to $2.9 million compared to $3.6 million in 2017. The year-over-year decline
was  primarily  driven  by  a  decline  in  services  performed  for  two  customers  based  on  changes  in  their  maintenance  programs,  particularly  in  the  Green  River
Basin and in the Eagle Ford Shale. The declines were partially offset by new customer wins and growth in services performed for other customers and in new
geographies.  The  Company  continues  to  pursue  customers  and  partner  with  chemical  suppliers  to  develop  new  cost-effective  acid  programs  to  continue  to
expand our acidizing services across our geographies.

Segment  profits  for  our  core  well  enhancement  services  increased  $1.1  million  or  13%  in  2018  compared  to  2017,  due  to  the  increases  in  revenues
described above, which was the result of the redeployment of our fleet into our most active basins, along with certain cost reduction initiatives implemented in
the  second  half  of  2018.  Some  of  these  initiatives  included  additional  costs  incurred  during  2018,  that  are  not  recurring,  such  as  costs  associated  with  the
closure of facilities and re-deployment of our productive assets.  

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.  In  2018,  we  invested  an  additional  $723,000  to  augment  and  increase  our  asset  base.  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.

For  the  year ended  December  31,  2018,  Water  Transfer  Services  accounted  for  9%  of  total  revenue,  and   increased  by  $2.0  million  or  95%,  to
$4.2 million, due to (i) adding nine new water transfer customers and (ii) expanding the amount of services performed for our largest customers. We believe the
water transfer services segment is an opportunity to grow our business with both new and existing customers and believe it offers opportunity to reduce the level
of seasonality we have historically experienced. 

Water  Transfer  segment  profits  for  the   year  ended  December  31,  2018,  were   approximately  $188,000,  compared  to  losses  of  $538,000  in  the  year
ended  December  31,  2017.  The  Company  ceased  the  marketing  and  conducting  proof  of  concept  studies  for  the  new  water  treatment  technology  utilized  in
devices  sold  under  the  name  of  HydroFLOW.  As  of  January  1,  2018,  the  Company  terminated  its  agreement  with  HydroFLOW.  During  the  years  ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized minimal revenues related to HydroFLOW products.

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.

During  2018,  unallocated  costs  decreased  22%  to  $626,000  compared  to  $803,000  in  2017,  due  to  a  reduction  in  the  number  of  regional  managers

employed by the Company.

(2)
(3) Consists of the southern region of the Marcellus Shale formation (southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Vi rginia) and the Utica Shale formation

(eastern Ohio). 

Well enhancement segment revenues in the Rocky Mountain Region increased $4.1 million or 27% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to
the  prior  year  due  to  an  increase  in  activity  in  the  DJ  Basin  and  Bakken  area  and  our  acquisition  of  Adler.  Water  transfer  segment  revenues  increased  $2.0
million or 95% for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to prior year due to (i) adding nine new water transfer customers and (ii) expanding the amount
of services performed for our largest customers. 

Well enhancement segment revenues in the Central USA region increased approximately $1.3 million or 14% for the year ended December 31, 2018,

compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to increased frac heating services performed from our Oklahoma location. 

Well enhancement segment revenues in the Eastern USA region increased approximately $2.4 million or 133% for the year ended December 31, 2018,
compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to increased service work in the Marcellus shale formation due to increased activity levels and
colder temperatures in early 2018 as compared to early 2017.

Historical Seasonality of Revenues:

Because of the seasonality of our frac water heating and hot oiling busines s, 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 Transfer Services increase as a percentage of total revenues during the second and third quarters.
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 $ 35.2 million, or 75%, of its 2018 revenues during the first
and fourth quarters of 2018 compared to $11.8  million,  or  25%,  during  the  second  and  third  quarters  of  2018.  In  2017 ,  the Company  generated  revenues  of
$26.0 million, or 70%, of its 2017 revenues during the first and fourth quarters of 2017 compared to $ 11.1 million, or 30%, during the second and third quarters of
2017. 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. As an example, our acquisition of $4.3 million of water transfer and water treatment assets in early 2016
was an effort to mitigate seasonality. Additionally, in an effort to grow our year-round hot oiling revenues, we recently introduced a commission program in an
effort  to  attract  and  retain  experienced  hot  oil  operators,  as  these  operators  are  able  to  retain  customers  in  some  cases  regardless  of  which  company  the
operator works for.

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 increased by approximately $8.3 million or 29% during 2018 compared to 2017, primarily due to the overall increase in service
activity in our well enhancement service segment as well as our water transfer division. 

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses:

Sales,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  approximately  $833,000,  or  19%,  to  $5.2  million  in  2018  compared  to  $4.4  million  in
2017  primarily  due  to  (i)  the  full  year  costs  of  our  business  development  team  (sales  efforts  were  previously  performed  by  our  operations  managers,  whose
compensation costs are included within segment expenses) (ii) approximately $224,000 in professional fees incurred in connection with our acquisition of Adler,
and (iii) increases in corporate employee compensation costs year over year. 

Patent Litigation and Defense Costs:

Patent litigation and defense costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 declined to $80,000 compared to $129,000 for 2017. As discussed in Item 3. –
Litigation, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado issued a decision on March 15, 2019 this case was dismissed in its entirety without any finding of
wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves.

Depreciation and Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased approximately  $156,000, or 3 %, from 2017, primarily due to

the acquisition of Adler, partially offset by certain of our equipment becoming fully-depreciated during the year.

Severance and Transition Costs:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized costs of approximately $633,000, related to the departure of a former officer and
the former Senior Vice President of Field Operations. The costs incurred primarily consist of payments to the former officer and Senior Vice President of Field
Operations,  but  also  include  acceleration  of  stock-based  compensation  costs.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  recognized  costs  of
approximately $784,000, related to the departures of two former officers. The costs incurred were payments to the former officers pursuant to their respective
termination agreements and legal and professional costs directly related to the transition to the new management team. In addition, as described above, upon the
accelerated vesting of option grants made to one of the former officers, we incurred an incremental $100,000 in stock-based compensation expense.

Income (Loss) from operations:

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  the  Company  recognized  a  loss  from  operations  of  $2.4  million  compared  to  a  loss  from  operations  of
$3.8 million for 2017. The improvement of $1.4 million was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in segment profits, partially offset by the increase in Sales,
general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense decreased approximately $33,000 or 1%, from  2017. The extinguishment of our previous senior secured credit facility with PNC during
2017,  resulted  in  accelerated  recognition  of  approximately  $327,000  of  debt  issuance  costs  during  2017.  The  increase  in  our  average  borrowings  along  with
increased interest rates on our floating rate debt, partially offset the decrease from the accelerated charges. 

Discontinued Operations:

Loss  from  discontinued  operations  decreased  approximately  $125,000  or  13%  from  2017.  Loss  from  discontinued  operations  for  the  year  ended

included an impairment loss on assets held-for-sale of approximately $130,000 partially offset by a gain on disposal of equipment of approximately $129,000.

Income Taxes:

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance on a net deferred tax asset of $2.8 million. Our income tax provision of
$1.3  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  reduced  the  amount  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  and  we  reduced  the  valuation  allowance  by  a  like  amount
which resulted in a net tax provision of approximately $32,000. Income tax expense was approximately $32,000 in 2018, compared to a tax benefit of $561,000
in 2017. 

Adjusted EBITDA*:

Management believes that, for the reasons set forth below, Adjusted EBITDA (even though a non-GAAP measure) is a valuable measurement of the

Company's liquidity and performance and is consistent with the measurements offered by other companies in the Company's industry.

Use  of  Non-GAAP  Financial  Measures:   Non-GAAP  results  are  presented  only  as  a  supplement  to  the  financial  statements  and  for  use  within
management’s  discussion  and  analysis  based  on  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  (GAAP).  The  non-GAAP  financial  information  is  provided  to
enhance the reader's understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided
herein.

EBITDA  is  defined  as  net  income  (earnings),  before  interest  expense,  income  taxes,  and  depreciation  and  amortization.  Adjusted   EBITDA  excludes
stock-based compensation from EBITDA and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating
performance as set forth in the next paragraph. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an
alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

All  of  the  items  included  in  the  reconciliation  from  net  income  to  EBITDA  and  from  EBITDA  to  Adjus ted  EBITDA  are  either  (i)  non-cash  items  (e.g.,
depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, impairment losses, 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 or losses on sale of equipment, acquisition-related expenses, patent
litigation and defense costs, severance and transition costs, other expense (income), EBITDA related to discontinued operations, 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 o f, 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  fixed  charge  coverage  ratio
covenant associated with our Loan and Security Agreement with East West Bank 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  improved  $1.1  million  to  $4.9  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  compared  to  an  adjusted  EBITDA  of
$3.8  million  for  2017,  primarily  due  to  the  $2.0  million  improvement  in  segment  profit  discussed  above,  partially  offset  by  the  increase  in  sales,  general  and
administrative costs discussed above.

We  have  relied  on  cash  flow  from  operations,  borrowings  under  our  revolving  credit  agreements,  and  proceeds  from  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,  2018,  we  had  approximately  $257,000  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and
approximately $3.0 million available under our asset based senior revolving credit facility. Our capital requirements over the next 12 months are anticipated to
include, but are not limited to, operating expenses, debt servicing, and capital expenditures including maintenance of our existing fleet of assets. 

As  described  in  more  detail  Note  7  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements  included  in  “Item  8.  Financial  Statements”  of  this  report,  on  August  10,
2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with East West Bank (“East West Bank”) which provides for a three-year
$30 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”), that replaced the $30 million senior secured revolving credit Facility (the “Prior Credit
Facility”)  provided  under  the  Amended  and  Restated  Revolving  Credit  and  Security  Agreement  (the  “2014  Credit  Agreement”)  with  PNC  Bank,  National
Association (“PNC”). 

The 2017 Credit Agreement allows  us to borrow up to 85% of our eligible receivables and up to 85% of the appraised value of our eligible equipment.
We  used  initial  proceeds  of  approximately  $21.8  million  to  repay  all  amounts  due  pursuant  to  the  2014  Credit  Agreement,  and  pay  other  closing  costs  and
fees. Upon entering into the 2017 Credit Agreement, we had approximately $4.6 million available under the terms of the agreement.

In connection with the acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC, on October 26, 2018 (the "Adler Acquisition"), Enservco and East West Bank entered
into  a  Second  Amendment  to  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  and  Consent  (the  “Second  Amendment  to  LSA”),  which  amended  the  2017  Credit  Agreement.
Pursuant  to  the  Second  Amendment  to  LSA,  East  West  Bank  consented  to  the  Adler  Acquisition  and  increased  the  maximum  borrowing  limit  of  the  senior
secured revolving credit facility provided to Enservco under the Loan Agreement to $37.0 million. Proceeds of $6.2 million from the increased senior secured
revolving  credit  facility  were  used  in  the  Adler  Acquisition  to  make  the  cash  payments  at  closing  and  retire  the  indebtedness  of  Adler.  In  connection  with  the
Second Amendment to LSA the capital expenditure limitation contained within the Loan Agreement was increased to $3.0 million from $2.5 million.

On October 26, 2018, in connection with the Second Amendment to LSA, Adler entered into a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which Adler was joined

as a party to the Loan Agreement.

On March 31, 2017, our largest shareholder, Cross River Partners, L.P., posted a letter of credit in the amount of $1.5 million in accordance with the
terms of the Tenth Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement that was subsequently converted into subordinated debt with a maturity date of June 28, 2022 with
a stated interest rate of 10% per annum and a five-year warrant to purchase 967,741 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. On
May 10, 2017, Cross River Partners, L.P. also provided $1.0 million in subordinated debt to us as required under the terms of our Tenth Amendment to the 2014
Credit Agreement. In connection with this issuance of subordinated debt, Cross River Partners L.P. was granted a five-year warrant to purchase 645,161 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. On June 29, 2018, Cross River Partners, L. P. exercised warrants for 1,612,902 shares, and we
used proceeds from the exercise of the warrants described above, to repay $500,000 due under the subordinated debt. 

As of December 31, 2018, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement of approximately $33.9 million with weighted-
average interest rates of 6.02% per year for the $33.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings and 7.25% per year for the $ 883,000 of outstanding prime
rate borrowings.

The 2017 Credit Agreement has certain customary financial covenants and consisted of the following as of December 31, 2018, as described below:

a  minimum  fixed  charge  coverage  ratio  (as  defined,  not  less  than  1.10  to  1.00,  measured  as  of  the  last  day  of  each  month  based  on  trailing
twelve-month information);

In periods when the trailing twelve-month fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.20 to 1.00, we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of
$1,500,000 (including excess availability under the 2017 Credit Agreement and balance sheet cash).

(i)

(ii)

Liquidity:

As of December 31, 2018, our available liquidity was $3.3 million, which was substantially comprised of $3.0   million  of  availability  on  the  New  Credit
Facility (subject to a covenant requirement that we maintain $1.5 million of available liquidity in periods where our fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.2:1)
and $257,000 in cash. We utilize the New Credit Facility to fund working capital requirements and investments, and during the year ended December 31, 2018,
we received net cash proceeds from our various lines of credit of approximately $6.8 million, and additionally received $141,000 in non-cash proceeds to fund
expenses related to the notes. 

On August 10, 2017, an initial advance of $21.8 million was made under the New Credit Facility to repay in full all obligations outstanding under the Prior
Credit  Facility  and  fees  and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  the  termination  of  the  2014  Credit  Agreement  and  the  origination  of  the  2017  Credit
Agreement.  Upon  entering  the  2017  Credit  Agreement  and  repaying  all  amounts  due  pursuant  to  the  2014  Credit  Agreement,  we  had  availability  of
approximately $4.6 million under the New Credit Facility.

The Company incurred substantial losses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017  of approximately $5.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
During  2017,  we  experienced  negative  cash  flows  from  operations.  While  we  expect  that  recent  positive  industry  trends  and  our  focus  on  increasing  the
utilization of our assets will allow us to improve our GAAP operating income and cash flows from operations, there is no assurance that we will not continue to
incur losses from operations and our liquidity will be negatively impacted as a result.

Working Capital:

As  of  December  31,  2018,  we  had  working  capital  of  approximately  $6.1   million  compared  to  working  capital  of  $8.0  million  as  of  December  31,
2017. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to the short term note payable to the seller of Adler, partially offset by a decrease in our other
current liabilities as of December 31, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017. 

Deferred Tax Asset, net:

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to zero. 

Cash flow from Operating Activities:

Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased approximately $5.3 million to $1.3 million compared to cash used
in operating activities of $4.0 million during 2017, primarily due to (i) the increase in cash provided by the monetization of accounts receivable during the year
ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, and (ii) the decrease in Loss Before Tax Expense (Benefit) related to improved operating results.

Cash flow from Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $7.3 million compared to $1.3 million during 2017. The increase is primarily
attributable to the acquisition of Adler, as described in more detail Note 4 to our financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements” of this  report.
Other investing activities include investments  in water transfer equipment and investments to extend the useful lives of our operating assets, and certain new
equipment purchases (primarily within the Water Transfer division). During 2017, the cash used primarily comprised investments made to extend the useful lives
of our operating assets and for assets acquired pursuant to our agreement with HydroFLOW.

Cash flow from Financing Activities:

Cash provided by financing activities for year ended December 31, 2018 was $5.8 million compared to $5.1 million for the year ended 2017. During the
year ended December 31, 2018, we received proceeds from our revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of Adler. This increase was partially offset by the
Company  making  higher  total  payments  to  its  revolving  credit  facility  than  during  the  comparable  period  in  2017,  due  to  increased  receipts  from  our  higher
accounts receivable balance at the beginning of 2018 compared to the beginning of 2017.

Outlook:

We believe that the current oil and gas environment provides us an opportunity  to increase our cash flows through the increased utilization of our asset
base,  due  to  industry  dynamics  and  our  increased  focus  on  redeploying  our  assets  into  areas  where  our  services  are  in  higher  demand.  We  have  seen  an
increase  in  such  demand  due  to  the  increase  and  relative  stability  in  oil  and  natural  gas  commodity  prices  from  2016  lows,  and  increases  in  the  level  of
production and development activities across the industry. Our generally improved financial results in 2018 and 2017 reflect our successful operational execution
in response to this increased demand, and we are optimistic about the prospects for 2019 and beyond. Our long-term goals include driving increased utilization of
our assets, the optimized deployment of our fleet, and the right-sizing of our balance sheet by paying down debt. We continue to seek opportunities to expand
our business operations through organic growth, including increasing the volume and scope of current services offered to our new and existing customers. We
may identify additional services to offer to our customer base, and make related investments as capital and market conditions permits. We will continue to explore
adding  high  margin  services  that,  diversify  and  expand  our  customer  relationships  while  maintaining  an  appropriate  balance  between  recurring  maintenance
work and drilling and completion related services.

Capital Commitments and Obligations:

The Company’s capital obligations as of December 31, 2018 consists primarily of scheduled principal payments under certain term loans and operating
leases. We  repaid  all  amounts  due  under  the  2014  Credit  Agreement  using  proceeds  from  the  2017  Credit  Agreement  during  2017.
  We  do  not  have  any
scheduled  principal  payments  under  the  2017  Credit  Agreement  until  August  10,  2020,  however,  the  Company  may  need  to  make  future  principal  payments
based upon collateral availability. General terms and conditions for amounts due under these commitments and obligations are summarized in the notes to the
financial statements.     

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 ESTIMATES

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  req uires  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 in   the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

While all of the significant accounting estimates 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.

Long-Lived Assets:

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impa irment 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. The Company recorded an impairment charge, included in discontinued operations, of $130,000 related to land and
building sold subsequent to December 31, 2018.

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.

51

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

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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
2014 through 2018 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years 2014 to 2018.

Business Combinations.

We utilize the purchase method to account for acquisitions of businesses and assets. The value of the purchase consideration takes into account the
degree to which the consideration is objective and measurable such as cash consideration paid to a seller. Pursuant to purchase method accounting, we allocate
the cost of the acquisition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations are based on
appraisals, discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates by management. 

In estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make various assumptions. The most significant assumptions relate to the
estimated  fair  values  assigned  to  intangible  assets.  To  estimate  the  fair  values  of  these  assets,  we  employed  the  income,  market,  or  a  cost  approach,  as
appropriate. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which
rely  on  management’s  estimates  of  volumes,  commodity  prices,  revenue  and  operating  expenses;  (ii)  long-term  growth  rates;  and  (iii)  appropriate  discount
rates.  The  market  valuation  method  uses  prices  paid  for  a  reasonably  similar  asset  by  other  purchasers  in  the  market,  with  adjustments  relating  to  any
differences  between  the  assets.  The  cost  valuation  method  is  based  on  the  replacement  cost  of  a  comparable  asset  at  prices  at  the  time  of  the  acquisition
reduced for depreciation of the asset. 

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 used the market-value of Company stock to determine the fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awarded in 2018. The fair-

value is updated quarterly based on actual forfeitures.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation program to determine the fair value of market-based restricted stock awarded in 2018.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of Enservco Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Enservco Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated
statement  of  operations,  stockholders'  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  the  related  notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “financial
statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  as  of
December  31,  2018,  and  the  results  of  its  operations  and  its  cash  flows  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements
based  on  our  audit.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  PCAOB  and  are  required  to  be  independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required
to  have,  nor  were  we  engaged  to  perform,  an  audit  of  its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  As  part  of  our  audit,  we  are  required  to  obtain  an
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  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.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and
disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audit  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

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 - 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 fo r 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, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $139,000
and $60,000, respectively. For the years ended December  31,  2018 and 2017,  the  Company  recorded  bad  debt  expense  (net  of  recoveries)  of  approximately
$43,000 and $37,000, respectively.

Concentrations

As  of  December  31,  2018,  no  single  customer  comprised  more  than  10%  of  the  Company's  accounts  receivable  balance.  Revenues  from  one
customer represented approximately 10% of total revenues for the year ended  December 31, 2018.  As  of December  31,  2017, one  customer  comprised  more
than 10%  of  the  Company’s  accounts  receivable  balance;  at  approximately  12%.  Revenues  from  this  customer  represented  approximately  9 %  of  total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, there was  one other customer which represented more than  10% of total revenue for the year at
approximately 15% for the year ended  December 31, 2017. 

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  net
realizable  value  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, 2018 and 2017, 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 u sed 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 m ajor part of its operations from leased facilities. Each of these leases is accounted for as an operating lease. 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 April 2024.  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,  2018, and 2017,  the  Company  had  a  deferred  rent  liability  of
approximately $64,000 and $96,000, 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, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized amortization for leasehold improvements o f approximately $33,000 and $39,000.

The Company has leased trucks and equipment in the normal course of business, which were recorded as operating leases. 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. There are no significant equipment leases outstanding as of  December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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.  The
Company recorded an impairment charge, included in discontinued operations, of $130,000 related to land and building sold subsequent to December 31, 2018.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets received attributable to business acquisitions and combinations.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate impairment
may exist, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting
units and the appropriate valuation methodologies are used to determine fair value at the reporting unit level. Identified intangible assets are amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Revenue Recognition

As  described  below,  we  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Update  2014-09,  Revenue  -  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers,  Accounting  Standards
Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, beginning January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, which we have applied to contracts within the scope of
the standard. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adoption of this new standard. The Company
evaluates revenue when we can identify the contract with the customer, the performance obligations in the contract, the transaction price, and we are certain
that  the  performance  obligations  have  been  met.  Revenue  is  recognized  when  the  service  has  been  provided  to  the  customer.  The  vast  majority  of  the
Company's services and product offerings are short-term in nature. The time between invoicing and when payment is due under these arrangements is generally
30 to 60 days. Revenue is not generated from contractual arrangements that include multiple performance obligations.

The  Company’s  agreements  with  its  customers  are  often  referred  to  as  “price  sheets”  and  sometimes  provide  pricing  for  multiple  services.  However,
these  agreements  generally  do  not  authorize  the  performance  of  specific  services  or  provide  for  guaranteed  throughput  amounts.  As  customers  are  free  to
choose which services, if any, to use based on the Company’s price sheet, the Company prices its separate services on the basis of their standalone selling
prices. Customer agreements generally do not provide for performance, cancellation, termination, or refund type provisions. Services based on price sheets with
customers are generally performed under separately issued “work orders” or “field tickets” as services are requested.

Revenue is recognized for certain projects that take more than one day projects over time based on the number of days during the reporting period and

the agreed upon price as work progresses on each project.

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, 2018, and 2017, there were outstanding stock options and warrants  to acquire an aggregate of  2,574,665 and 6,457,335 shares of
Company common stock, respectively, which have a potentially dilutive impact on earnings per share. For the years ended December  31,  2018 and 2017,  the
Company  incurred  losses  of  approximately $5.8  million and $6.9  million,  respectively.  As  of December  31,  2018, the  aggregate  intrinsic  value  of  outstanding
stock options and warrants was approximately $93,000. Dilution is not permitted if there are net losses during the period. As such, the Company does  not  show
diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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  remaining  term  of  the  loan
agreement. All other costs not associated with the execution of the loan agreements are expensed as incurred. As of  December 31, 2018, we had approximately
$208,000 in unamortized loan fees and other deferred costs associated with the  2017 Credit Agreement, which we expect to charge to expense ratably over the
three-year term of that agreement. 

Derivative Instruments

From time to time, the Company has interest rate swap agreements in place to hedge against changes in interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s
derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. 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 at
December 31, 2018 or 2017, for trading purposes.

On February 23, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with East West Bank in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from
future interest payments related to the 2017 Credit Agreement. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement included an initial notional amount of $10.0 million,
a fixed payment rate of 2.52% paid by us and a floating payment rate equal to LIBOR paid by East West Bank. The purpose of the swap agreement is to adjust
the interest rate profile of our debt obligations. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is recorded in Other Assets and changes to the fair value are
recorded to Other Income (Expense).

On September 17, 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with PNC in order to hedge against the variability in cash flows from future
interest payments related to the 2014 Credit Agreement. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement included an initial notional amount of $10.0 million, a
fixed payment rate of 1.88% plus applicable a margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% paid by us 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 was to adjust the interest rate profile of our debt obligations and to achieve a targeted mix
of floating and fixed rate debt.

In  connection  with  the  termination  of  the  2014  Credit  Agreement,  on  August  10,  2017,  we  terminated  the  interest  rate  swap  agreement  with
PNC. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement were recorded in earnings. The Company was not party to any derivative instruments as of
December 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets (Note 9)  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 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 peri od assessed as Other 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 2014  through
2018 remain open to examination. In general, the Company’s various state tax filings remain open for tax years  2014 to 2018.

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.  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. Beginning in 2017, the Company valued its warrants using the Binomial Lattice model
("Lattice"). The Company did not have any transfers between hierarchy levels during the year ended  December 31, 2018. 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  uses  a  Lattice  model  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  certain  warrants.  The  expected  term  used  was  the  remaining  contractual  term.
Expected volatility is based upon historical volatility over a term consistent with the remaining term. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the yield on  zero-
coupon U.S. government securities with a remaining term equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

The Company used the market-value of Company stock to determine the fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awarded in 2018. The fair-

value is updated quarterly based on actual forfeitures.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation program to determine the fair value of market-based restricted stock awarded in 2018.

Management Estimates 

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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  warrant  liability  and  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  2018  presentation.  These  reclassifications,

primarily related to discontinued operations, have no effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Business Combinations 

We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition
date,  with  any  remaining  difference  recorded  as  goodwill  or  gain  from  a  bargain  purchase.  For  material  acquisitions,  management  typically  engages  an
independent  valuation  specialist  to  assist  with  the  determination  of  fair  value  of  the  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed,  noncontrolling  interest,  if  any,  and
goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting
period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we will
record  any  material  adjustments  to  the  initial  estimate  based  on  new  information  obtained  about  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the  acquisition
date.  An  income,  market  or  cost  valuation  method  may  be  utilized  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  the  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed,  and  noncontrolling
interest,  if  any,  in  a  business  combination.  The  income  valuation  method  represents  the  present  value  of  future  cash  flows  over  the  life  of  the  asset  using:
(i)  discrete  financial  forecasts,  which  rely  on  management’s  estimates  of  volumes,  commodity  prices,  revenue  and  operating  expenses;  (ii)  long-term  growth
rates; and (iii) appropriate discount rates. The market valuation method uses prices paid for a reasonably similar asset by other purchasers in the market, with
adjustments relating to any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at prices at the
time  of  the  acquisition  reduced  for  depreciation  of  the  asset.  See  Note  4  –  Business  Combinations  for  additional  information  regarding  our  business
combinations.

Accounting Pronouncements 

Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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. Either a modified retrospective transition approach 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,  or  a  modified  retrospective
transition method recognizing the cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption is required. We will adopt
the  New  Lease  standard  and  subsequent  amendments  effective  January  1,  2019  under  the  modified  retrospective  approach  for  all  active  contracts  as
of  December  31,  2018.  Based  upon  our  implementation  progress  to  date,  we  expect  the  adoption  of  the  New  Lease  Standard  to  result  in  increases  to  total
assets and total liabilities of approximately $2.2 million at January 1, 2019, with no adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit.

Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 that superseded the existing
revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with
customers for all industries. The objective of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its
customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred
the effective date by one year (ASU 2015-14). This ASU is now effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or
after  December  15,  2017.  Since  the  issuance  of  the  original  standard,  the  FASB  has  issued  several  other  subsequent  updates  including  the  following:  1)
clarification of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08); 2) further guidance on identifying performance obligations
in  a  contract  as  well  as  clarifications  on  the  licensing  implementation  guidance  (ASU  2016-10);  3)  rescission  of  several  SEC  Staff  Announcements  that  are
codified in Topic 605 (ASU 2016-11); and 4) additional guidance and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues (ASU 2016-12). The
Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application
recognized on that date. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements; however, our footnote disclosure was expanded.

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  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2017  and  interim  periods  within  those  annual
periods.  Early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  Company  adopted  the  new  guidance  effective  on  January  1,  2018  using  a  retrospective  transition  method  to  each
period presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not result in any impact to the presentation of our statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business," that clarifies the definition
of a business. This ASU provides a screen to determine whether a group of assets constitutes a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the
fair  value  of  the  gross  assets  acquired  (or  disposed  of)  is  concentrated  in  a  single  identifiable  asset  or  a  group  of  similar  identifiable  assets,  the  set  is  not  a
business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as acquisitions. If the screen is not met, this ASU (1) requires that to
be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an
output  and  (2)  removes  the  evaluation  of  whether  a  market  participant  could  replace  missing  elements.  Although  outputs  are  not  required  for  a  set  to  be  a
business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. We adopted this
ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In  May  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-09,  "Compensation  -  Stock  Compensation  (Topic  718):  Scope  of  Modification  Accounting,"  which  provides
guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The
Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Business Combinations

Acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC 

On  October  26,  2018,  Enservco  Corporation  entered  into  a  Membership  Interest  Purchase  Agreement  (the  “Agreement”)  with  Adler  Hot  Oil  Holdings,
LLC,  a  Delaware  limited  liability  company  (the  “Seller”),  pursuant  to  which  Enservco  acquired  all  of  the  outstanding  membership  interests  of  Adler  Hot  Oil
Service, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adler”) for a gross aggregate purchase price of $12.5 million, plus approximately $500,000 in working capital
adjustments (the “Transaction”). The purchase price allocation differs from the gross aggregate purchase price due to fair value adjustments to the indemnity
holdback, earnout, plus the discount on the subordinated note. Certain former members of Adler are also parties to the Agreement. Adler is a provider of frac
water heating and hot oiling services, whose assets consist primarily of vehicles and equipment, with a complementary base of customers in several oil and gas
producing basins where Enservco operates.

The consideration paid or to be paid by Enservco under the Agreement includes: (i) $3.7 million in cash paid to or for the benefit of the Seller at the
closing; (ii) a subordinated promissory note issued to the Seller in the principal amount of $4.8 million, plus interest accrued thereon (the “Seller Subordinated
Note”), as further discussed below; (iii) retirement by Enservco of $2.5 million in indebtedness of Adler; (iv) an earn-out payment of up to $1.0 million in cash
payable to the Seller, the actual amount of which is subject to Enservco’s satisfaction of certain EBITDA-related performance conditions during 2019; and (v)
$1.0  million  in  cash  held  by  Enservco  and  payable  to  the  Seller  on  the  18  month  anniversary  of  October  26,  2018,  subject  to  offset  by  Enservco  for  any
indemnification obligations owed by the Seller or certain former members of Adler under the Agreement.  

The acquisition of Adler qualified as a business combination and as such, we estimated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the closing date. The fair value measure of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed applied various valuation methods to estimate the value of the intangibles
that  would  provide  a  fair  and  reasonable  value  to  a  market  participant,  in  view  of  the  facts  available  at  the  time.  Each  valuation  method  was  analyzed  to
determine which method would generate the most reasonable estimate of value of the Company’s intangible assets as of October 26, 2018. Both internal and
external factors influencing the value of the intangibles were considered such as Adler’s financial position, results of operations, historical financial data, future
financial expectations, economic conditions, status of the oil and gas industry and Adler’s position in the industry.

The goodwill of approximately $245,000 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies expected be achieved from combining the

operations of Enservco and Adler. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Our  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  include  approximately  $3.2  million  in  revenues,  and  approximately  $371,000  in  income  before  taxes.  We
expensed approximately $224,000 of transaction and due diligence costs related to the acquisition of Adler that are included in Sales, general, and administrative
expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following tables represent the consideration paid to the Seller and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Subordinated Note

In  connection  with  the  Transaction  and  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Agreement,  on  October  26,  2018,  Enservco  issued  to  the  Seller  the  Seller
Subordinated Note in the original principal amount of $4.8 million, and unpaid amounts thereunder bear simple interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Enservco was
required to and made principal payments on November 30, 2018 of $800,000, on February 28, 2019 of $200,000, and on the final maturity date of the Seller
Subordinated Note of March 31, 2019 of all remaining outstanding principal and interest. Enservco may prepay the Seller Subordinated Note in whole or in part,
without penalty or premium, at any time prior to its maturity date. The Seller Subordinated Note is guaranteed by Enservco’s subsidiaries and secured by a junior
security interest in substantially all assets of Enservco and its subsidiaries. The Seller Subordinated Note is subject to a subordination agreement by and among
Enservco, the Seller, and East West Bank.

Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent 

In  connection  with  the  Transaction,  on  October  26,  2018,  Enservco  and  East  West  Bank  entered  into  a  Second  Amendment  to  Loan  and  Security
Agreement  and  Consent  (the  “Second  Amendment  to  LSA”),  which  amended  the  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  dated  August  10,  2017  by  and  between
Enservco  and  East  West  Bank  (the  “Loan  Agreement”).  Pursuant  to  the  Second  Amendment  to  LSA,  East  West  Bank  consented  to  the  Transaction  and
increased the maximum borrowing limit of the senior secured revolving credit facility provided to Enservco under the Loan Agreement to $37.0 million. Proceeds
of  $6.2  million  from  the  increased  senior  secured  revolving  credit  facility  were  used  in  the  Transaction  to  make  the  cash  payments  at  closing  and  retire  the
indebtedness of Adler. In connection with the Second Amendment to LSA the capital expenditure limitation contained within the Loan Agreement was increased
to $3.0 million from $2.5 million.

On October 26, 2018, in connection with the Second Amendment to LSA, Adler entered into a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which Adler was joined

as a party to the Loan Agreement.

Note 6 – Discontinued Operations

Dillco

On October 29, 2018, Enservco announced that it would be selling or closing the Dillco water hauling business, its associated facilities, and real estate.
This was due to eliminate non-strategic, unprofitable operations in order to focus on our core strategic growth business. Effective November 1, 2018, the Dillco
water  hauling  business  ceased  operations  for  customers.  In  December  2018,  we  held  an  auction  for  all  of  the  Dillco  fixed  assets  which  resulted  in  a  gain  of
approximately $129,000. Additionally, we recorded an impairment charge of $130,000 related to land and building sold subsequent to December 31, 2018.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the  carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities disclosed as discontinued operations in

Note 7 – Debt

East West Bank Revolving Credit Facility

O n August  10,  2017, we  entered  into  the  2017  Credit  Agreement   with  East  West  Bank  which  provides  for  a  three-year $30  million  senior  secured
revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"). The 2017 Credit Agreement allows us to borrow up to  85% of our eligible receivables and up to  85%  of  the
appraised value of our eligible equipment. Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, there are  no required principal payments until maturity and we have the option to
pay variable interest rate based on (i) 1-month LIBOR plus a margin of  3.5% or (ii) interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin of  1.75%.  Interest
is calculated monthly and paid in arrears. Additionally, the New Credit Facility is subject to an unused credit line fee of 0.5% per annum multiplied by the amount
by which total availability exceeds the average monthly balance of the New Credit Facility, payable monthly in arrears. The New Credit Facility is collateralized
by substantially all of our assets and subject to financial covenants. The outstanding principal loan balance matures on August 10, 2020. Under the terms of the
2017 Credit Agreement, collateral proceeds will be collected in bank-controlled lockbox accounts and credited to the New Credit Facility within  one business day.

As of December 31, 2018, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement of approximately $33.9  million  with
weighted average interest rates of 6.06% per year for $33.0 million of outstanding LIBOR Rate borrowings and 7 .25% per year for the approximately  $883,000 of
outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $3.0 million was available to be drawn under the  2017 Credit Agreement, subject
to limitations including the minimum liquidity covenant described below. As of December 31, 2017, we had an outstanding principal loan balance under
the 2017 Credit Agreement of approximately $27.1 million with interest rates of 5.06% and 4.88% per year for $24.5 million of outstanding LIBOR
Rate borrowings and 6.25% per year for the approximately $2.6 of outstanding Prime Rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2017, approximately
$2.1 million was available to be drawn under the 2017 Credit Agreement, subject to limitations including the minimum liquidity covenant described
below.

Under to the 2017 Credit Agreement, we are subject to the following financial covenants:

(1) Maintenance of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) of  not less than 1.10 to 1.00 at the end of each month, with a buildup beginning on  January

1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, upon which the ratio will be measured on a trailing  twelve-month basis;

(2)  In  periods  when  the  trailing  twelve-month  FCCR  is  less  than 1.20  to 1.00,  we  are  required  to  maintain  minimum  liquidity  of  $1,500,000  (including

excess availability under the 2017 Credit Agreement and balance sheet cash).

On August 10, 2017, an initial advance of approximately  $21.8 million was made under the New Credit Facility to repay in full all  obligations  outstanding

under our Prior Credit Facility and fund certain closing costs and fees.

O n November  20,  2017,  Enservco  Corporation  (the  “Company”)  entered  into  a  First  Amendment  and  Waiver  (the  “Amendment  and  Waiver”)  with
respect to the 2017 Credit Agreement, dated  November 20, 2017, by and among the Company and East West Bank.  Pursuant to the Amendment and   Waiver,
East West Bank waived an event of default with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio set forth in the 2017  Credit
Agreement for the reporting period ended September 30, 2017, and permitted the Company to forego testing of its fixed charge coverage ratio as of  October  31,
2017 and November 30, 2017. In connection with the Amendment and Waiver, the Company agreed to pay East West Bank an amendment fee in the amount
of $20,000.

In connection with the acquisition of Adler Hot Oil Service, LLC ("Adler") (See Note 4), on October 26, 2018, Enservco and East West Bank entered into
a  Second  Amendment  to  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  and  Consent  (the  “Second  Amendment  to  LSA”),  which  amended  the  Loan  and  Security  Agreement
dated August 10, 2017 by and between Enservco and East West Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment to LSA, East West Bank
consented  to  the  Transaction  and  increased  the  maximum  borrowing  limit  of  the  senior  secured  revolving  credit  facility  provided  to  Enservco  under  the  Loan
Agreement to $37.0 million. Proceeds of $6.2 million from the increased senior secured revolving credit facility were used in the Transaction to make the cash
payments at closing and retire the indebtedness of Adler. In connection with the Second Amendment to LSA the capital expenditure limitation contained within
the Loan Agreement was increased to $3.0 million from $2.5 million.

On October 26, 2018, in connection with the Second Amendment to LSA, Adler entered into a Joinder Agreement, pursuant to which Adler was joined

as a party to the Loan Agreement.

As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

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 provided 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 allowed 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 were  no required principal payments
until maturity and the Company had 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 was calculated
monthly  and  added  to  the  principal  balance  of  the  loan.  Additionally,  the  Company  incurred  an  unused  credit  line  fee  of 0.375%.  The  revolving  credit  facility
was  collateralized  by  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  assets  and  subject  to  financial  covenants.  On August  10,  2017 we  repaid  all  amounts  due  under  our
Prior Credit Facility with PNC Bank using proceeds from New Credit Facility.

Debt Issuance Costs

We have capitalized certain debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the credit agreements discussed above and these costs are being amortized
to interest expense over the term of the facility on a straight-line basis. The long-term portion of debt issuance costs of approximately $208,000 and $232,000 is
included in Other Assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the years ended
December  31,  2018 and 2017,  the  Company  amortized  approximately  $105,000  and $121,000  of  these  costs  to  Interest  Expense.  During  the  year  ended
December 31, 2017, the Company expensed unamortized debt issuance costs of $327,000 upon repayment of the Prior Credit Facility.

Derivative Instruments

The  Company's  warrant  liability  was  valued  as  a  derivative  instrument  at  issuance  and  using  a  combination  of  a  Brownian  Motion  technique  and  a
Lattice  model,  using  observable  market  inputs  and  management  judgment  based  on  the  following  assumptions:  a  risk-free  interest  rate  of  2.14%,  expected
dividend yield of 0%, a term of 4.49 years, and a volatility of 89.58%. The valuation policies used are approved by the Chief Financial Officer who reviews and
approves the inputs used in the fair value calculations and the changes in fair value measurements from period to period for reasonableness. On June 29, 2018,
both warrants, entitling the Holder to acquire 1,612,902 shares of our $0.005 par value common stock were exercised, and proceeds in the amount of $500,000
were used to reduce the subordinated debt balance.

The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs,
including interest rate curves. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and respective counterparty’s
nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements, which we have concluded are not material to the valuation. Due to the interest rate swaps being unique and
not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2.

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 June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, 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 agreements are carried at cost which are approximately the fair value of the debt as the related interest rate are at
the terms that approximate 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, 2018 and 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).
The  Tax  Act  reduces  the  corporate  tax  rate  to  21  percent,  effective January  1,  2018. Consequently,  we  have  recorded  a  decrease  related  to  deferred  tax
assets of approximately $585,000, with a corresponding adjustment to deferred income tax benefit  for the year ended  December 31, 2017. In addition, for tax
years beginning after January 1, 2018, net operating losses can offset only 80% of taxable income in any given year. Furthermore, net operating losses can no
longer be carried back, they must be carried forward. The 20-year carryforward period has been replaced with an indefinite carryforward period.

A reconciliation of computed income taxes by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of  21% to income (loss) from operations before taxes to the

provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

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 a valuation allowance should be recorded to reduce its net deferred tax assets to zero.

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, 2018 and 2017, 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.  The  Company  recorded  a  valuation  allowance  of $3.1  million  and  $1.5  million  as  of December  31,  2018 a n d 2017,
respectively.

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.

Note 10 – Stockholders Equity

Warrants

In June 2016, the Company granted a principal of the Company’s investor relations firm warrants to acquire 30,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock in connection with a reduction of the firm's ongoing monthly cash service fees. The warrants had a grant-date fair value of $0.36 per share and vested over
a one-year period, 15,000 on December 21, 2016 and 15,000 on June 21, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, all of these warrants remain outstanding and are
exercisable until June 21, 2021 at $0.70 per share.

In June 2017, in connection with a subordinated loan agreement, the Company granted Cross River, our largest shareholder, two five-year warrants to
buy an aggregate total of 1,612,902 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the average closing price of the Company’s
common  stock  for  the  20-day  period  ended  May  11,  2017.  The  warrants  had  a  grant-date  fair  value  of  $0.19  per  share  and  vested  in  full  on  June  28,  2017.
These warrants were accounted for as a liability in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. On June 29, 2018 Cross River exercised both
warrants and acquired 1,612,902 shares of our $0.005 par value common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the warrants in the amount of $500,000 were
used to reduce the subordinated debt balance. The warrants exercised had a total intrinsic value of approximately $1.4 million at the time of exercise. During the
year  ended December  31,  2017, 112,500  warrants  were  exercised  using  the  cashless  option  to  acquire  26,729  shares  of  common  stock.  The  warrants
exercised had a total intrinsic value of approximately $19,000 at the time of exercise.

Note 11 – Stock Options and Restricted Stock

Stock Option Plans

O n 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, 2018, there were options to purchase
834,166 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,
2018, there were options to purchase 1,710,499 shares outstanding under the  2016 Plan.

            A summary of the range of assumptions used to value stock options granted for the year ended  December 31, 2017 are as follows:

Exercisable at December 31, 2018
(1) 1,230,002 options exercised using the cashless option resulted in 663,938 shares of common stock being issued.

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, 2018.

During  the  years  ended December  31,  2018 and 2017,  the  Company  recog nized  stock-based  compensation  costs  for  stock  options  of  approximately
$241,000 and $704,000, respectively, in sales, general and administrative expenses. As of  December 31, 2018, the Company expected 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.

As of December 31, 2018, there was approximately  $141,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested shares under the qualified

stock option plans which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 0.68 years.

Restricted Stock

Restricted shares issued pursuant to restricted stock awards under the 2016 Stock Plan are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse
periodically  generally  over  a  period  of  three  years.  Restrictions  may  also  lapse  for  early  retirement  and  other  conditions  in  accordance  with  our  established
policies. Upon termination of employment, shares on which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to us, resulting in restricted stock forfeitures. The fair
market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a service condition is amortized and charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period for the entire award. The fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock with a performance condition shall be accrued and recognized when it
becomes probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Restricted shares that contain a market condition are amortized and charged over the life of
the award.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  the  Company's  Board  of  Director's  granted  approximately  1.0  million  shares  of  restricted  stock  to  the

Company's employees. The awards had an aggregate grant-date fair value of approximately $1.1 million.

stock vested due to service is likely to differ from previous estimates.

Operating Leases

As  of December  31,  2018, the  Company  leases  facilities  under  lease  commitments  that  expire  through   April  2024.  All  of  these  facility  leases  are

accounted for as operating leases. Future minimum lease commitments for these facilities and other operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense under operating leases for the years ended  December 31, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $849,000 and $804,000, respectively.

HydroFLOW Agreement 

Pursuant  to  a  Sales  Agreement  with  HydroFLOW  USA,  HWWM  had  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  was  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  was  required  to  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  the  year  ended December  31,  2017, the  Company
completed the purchase of $280,000 of equipment to fulfill its  2016 purchase commitment for exclusivity. During the years ended  December 31, 2017 and 2016,
the Company did not accrue or pay any royalties to HydroFLOW. The Company negotiated a release of all  2016 and 2017 purchase commitments, while leaving
intact the exclusive right to sell or rent the patented hydropath devices through 2017. As of January 9, 2018, the Company terminated its Sales Agreement with
HydroFLOW USA.

Self-Insurance 

In  June  2015,  the  Company  became  self-insured  under  its  Employee  Group  Medical  Plan,  and  currently  is  responsible  to  pay  the  first  $50,000  in
medical costs per individual participant for claims incurred in the calendar year up to a maximum of approximately $1.8 million per year in the aggregate based
on enrollment. The Company had an accrued liability of approximately $60,000 and $102,000 as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively,
for insurance claims that it anticipates paying in the future related to claims that occurred prior to December 31, 2018.

Effective April 1, 2015, the Company had entered into a workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy with a term through March 31,
2018.  Under the terms of the policy, the Company was required to pay premiums in addition to a portion of the cost of any claims made by our employees, up to
a maximum of approximately $1.8 million over the term of the policy (an amount that was variable with changes in annualized compensation amounts). As of
December 31, 2018, a former employee of ours had an open claim relating to injuries sustained while in the course of employment, and the projected maximum
cost of the policy as determined by the insurance carrier included estimated claim costs that have not yet been paid or incurred in connection with the claim.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, our insurance carrier formally denied the workers' compensation claim and is moving to close the claim entirely. Per
the terms of our insurance policy, through December 31, 2018, we had paid in approximately $1.8 million of the projected maximum plan cost of $1.8 million,
and had recorded approximately $1.6 million as expense over the term of the policy. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, additional claims related to incidents that
occurred  prior  to  March  31,  2018  were  processed  pursuant  to  the  agreement,  and  we  recorded  approximately  $267,000  in  additional  costs  under  the  plan,
reducing the balance of the long-term asset. We recorded the remaining approximately $189,000 in payments made under the policy as a long-term asset, which
we  expect  will  either  be  recorded  as  expense  in  future  periods,  or  refunded  to  us  by  the  insurance  carrier,  depending  on  the  outcome  of  the  individual  claim
described  above,  and  the  final  cost  of  any  additional  open  claims  incurred  under  the  policy.  As  of  December  31,  2018,  we  believe  we  have  paid  all  amounts
contractually  due  under  the  policy.  Effective  April  1,  2018,  we  entered  into  a  new  workers’  compensation  policy  with  a  fixed  premium  amount  determined
annually, and therefore are no longer partially self-insured for workers' compensation and employer's liability.

Litigation

Enservco and Heat Waves were defendants in a civil lawsuit in federal court in Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-00983-RBJ (“Colorado Case”), that
alleged 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., the ‘993 Patent and the ‘875 Patent.  In March of 2019, the parties moved to dismiss the Colorado Case.  On March 15, 2019,
the Colorado Case was dismissed in its entirety without any finding of wrongdoing by Enservco or Heat Waves.   

HOTF dismissed its claims with regard to the ‘993 Patent with prejudice and its claims with regard to the ‘875 Patent without prejudice.  However, HOTF
agreed not to sue Enservco or Heat Waves in the future for infringement of the ‘875 Patent based on the same type of frac water heating services offered by
Heat Waves prior to and through March 13, 2019.  Heat Waves dismissed its counterclaims against HOTF without prejudice in order to preserve its defenses.

While the Colorado Case was pending, HOTF was issued two additional patents, which were related to the ‘993 and ‘875 Patents, but were not part of
the Colorado Case.  However, in March of 2015, a North Dakota federal court determined in an unrelated lawsuit (not involving Enservco or Heat Waves) that
the  ‘993  Patent  was  invalid.  The  same  court  also  found  that  the  ‘993  Patent  was  unenforceable  due  to  inequitable  conduct  by  the  patent  owner  and/or  the
inventor.  The  Federal  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  later  confirmed,  among  other  things,  the  North  Dakota  court’s  findings  of  inequitable  conduct.    In  light  of  the
foregoing, 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 these additional HOTF patents.

Note 13- Segment Reporting

Enservco’s reportable business segments are Well Enhancement Services and Water Transfer Services. These segments have been selected based

on 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.

Unallocated and other includes general overhead expenses and assets associated with managing all reportable  operating  segments  which  have  not

been allocated to a specific segment.

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  re quired  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, 2018 (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 pr event  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 ref lect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the Company;

(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, 2018, management (with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial O fficer) 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, 2018.
