Critical Accounting Policies
Long -Lived Assets Other than Goodwill, page 36
1. Please help us better understand why the same factors that resulted in you testing the
long-lived assets of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments for
impairment, including declines in drilling rig count , would not also result in yo u testing
the Energy Chemistry Technologies and Consumer and Industrial Chemistry
Technologies segments for impairment given that they also serve the oil and gas industry.
We also note that you recorded a loss from operation s in both 2016 and the three mo nths
ended March 31, 2017 after presenting the Drilling Technologies and Production
Technologies segments as discontinued and that there was a significant decrease in the
cash generated from continuing operations from $25.4 million in 2015 to $2 million in

2. Please expand your disclosures to better address how you determined that your current
sources of cash will be sufficient to meet your cash requirements over the next 12 months
in light of the following:
You refer to your total liquidity as available borrowing capacity under the revolving
line of credit and a vailable cash. It appears that both of these amounts decreased
from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. Specifically, cash and cash equivalents
decreased from $ 4.8 million at December 31, 2016 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2017
and the available borrowin g capacity decreased from $16.5 million at December 31,
2016 to $15.2 million at March 31, 2017 ; and
Your net cash generated from operating activities decreased significantly from $25.5
milli on during the year ended December 31, 2015 to $ 2.1 million during the year
ended December 31, 2016. You also reported net cash used in operations during the
period ended March 31, 2017 of $3 million.
Refer to Item 303(a)(1) and (2) of Regulation S -K.
3. We note that your amended credit facility entered into in February 2017 among other
things modified certain covenants and restrictions. It is not clear if the covenant
modifications were made because of your inability to meet the prior covenant terms in
place. In this regard, please disclose the actual ratios/am ounts as of each reporting date
for any material debt covenants for which it is reasonably likely that you will not be able
to meet or which could impact your ability to obtain additional debt or e quity financing to
a material extent. See Sections I.D and IV.C of the SEC Interpretive Release No. 33 -
8350.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
