Financial Highlights
Financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012 included:
- positive cash flow from operations of $67,327; for the three months ended December 31, 2012, we experienced positive cash flow from operations of $3,112,606. This represented an increase compared to negative cash flow from operations of $28,017 for the third quarter of 2012, negative cash flow from operations of $1,438,903 for the second quarter of 2012 and negative cash flow from operations of $1,578,359 for the first quarter of 2012. Our liquidity improvement quarter over quarter was primarily the result of improved margins on sales of refined products;
- non-cash charges totaling $13,879,311 related to impairment and discontinued operations were as follows:
- an impairment totaling $9,435,745, consisting of $7,990,025 related to our pipeline fixed assets and $1,445,720 related to goodwill. Due to the continued weakness in our pipeline transportation and oil and gas exploration production business segments and the uncertainty of the timing and speed of recovery, an impairment of the pipeline was deemed necessary. All of the goodwill was associated with our pipeline transportation and oil and gas exploration production business segments; and
- discontinued operations, net of tax, totaling $4,443,566. In November 2012 we entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Blue Sky Langsa, Ltd. for the disposal of our 7% working interest in the North Sumatra Basin-Langsa Field ("Indonesia"). Operations associated with Indonesia were discontinued in 2012; and
- an abandonment expense of $1,184,549 associated with plugging and abandonment costs for High Island A-7. The amount recognized reflects the amount incurred less the amount reserved for the abandonment retirement obligation liability, which was $141,099.
Business Segments
In February 2012, we acquired 100% of the membership interest of Lazarus Energy, LLC ("LE"), which owns a crude oil and condensate processing facility located on a 56-acre site in Nixon, Wilson County, Texas (the "Nixon Facility"). In October 2012, we acquired 100% of the membership interest of Lazarus Refining & Marketing, LLC ("LRM"), which conducts petroleum storage and terminaling operations under third-party lease agreements at the Nixon Facility. As a result of the acquisitions of LE and LRM, our primary business segment is refinery operations, which includes (i) refining of crude oil into marketable finished and refined products, such as Non-Road, Locomotive and Marine Diesel Fuel ("NRLM" or "off-road diesel"), naphtha and atmospheric gas oil and (ii) petroleum storage and terminaling. Increases in Blue Dolphin's revenue, operating expenses and other related costs in 2012 compared to 2011 were primarily attributable to the refinery operations business segment.
Operational Update
For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, the Nixon Facility operated for 88 days and 326 days, respectively. For the same period, average throughput at the Nixon Facility was approximately 11,900 barrels per day ("bpd"), or 79% of operating capacity, and approximately 9,700 bpd, or 65% of operating capacity, respectively. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, feedstock runs at the Nixon Facility, which represents barrels of crude oil processed, totaled 1,050,189 barrels ("bbls") and 3,175,283 bbls, respectively. For the same period, refinery production totaled 1,030,680 bbls and 3,116,649 bbls, respectively. The Nixon Facility generated earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA") of $1,259,012 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Nixon Facility had 85,000 bbls of tankage under lease agreement for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 20,000 bbls of tankage under lease agreement for the year ended December 31, 2011.
