| BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY | BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY Trecora Resources (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1967. The Company’s principal business activities are the manufacturing of various specialty petrochemicals products, specialty waxes and providing custom processing services.
The Company’s specialty petrochemicals operations are primarily conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Texas Oil and Chemical Co. II, Inc. (“TOCCO”). TOCCO owns all of the capital stock of South Hampton Resources, Inc. (“SHR”) and Trecora Chemical, Inc. (“TC”). SHR owns all of the capital stock of Gulf State Pipe Line Company, Inc. (“GSPL”). SHR owns and operates a specialty petrochemicals product facility in Silsbee, Texas which manufactures high purity hydrocarbons used primarily in polyethylene, packaging, polypropylene, expandable polystyrene, poly-iso/urethane foams, Canadian tar sands, and in the catalyst support industry. TC owns and operates a facility located in Pasadena, Texas which manufactures specialty waxes and provides custom processing services. These specialty waxes are used in the production of coatings, hot melt adhesives and lubricants. GSPL owns and operates pipelines that connect the SHR facility to a natural gas line, to SHR’s truck and rail loading terminal and to a major petroleum pipeline owned by an unaffiliated third party.
The Company owns approximately 55% of the capital stock of a Nevada mining company, Pioche Ely Valley Mines, Inc. (“PEVM”), which does not conduct any substantial business activity but owns undeveloped properties in the United States.
The Company also previously owned 33% of a Saudi Arabian joint stock company, Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company (“AMAK”). On October 2, 2019, we announced that we had entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell our entire investment in AMAK. The share sale was completed on September 28, 2020. For more information, see Note 6.
We attribute revenues to countries based upon the origination of the transaction. All of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, originated in the United States. In addition, all of our long-lived assets are in the United States.
For convenience in this report, the terms “Company", “our", “us", “we" or “TREC" may be used to refer to Trecora Resources and its subsidiaries.
