Rockaway fuel oil company Able Energy leaves N.J. customers fuming
By Dan Goldberg/For The Star-Ledger
February 17, 2010, 6:15AM

Fuel oil trucks are parked at Able's headquarters in Rockaway
Morris and Sussex residents are reporting that Able Energy, a residential and commercial oil service company, has stopped making its regular deliveries of home-heating oil, leaving many customers clamoring for answers.

Some have received as little as five gallons -- enough for about one day -- after repeated calls to Able. Others have not been so fortunate.

“We can’t get a hold of anyone,” said Betty Pearson, an Andover resident. “My husband and I are in our 70’s. We don’t need this extra worry.”

As of 2008, Able served approximately 16,000 customers in New Jersey, primarily in Morris and Sussex County. The Rockaway-based company served an additional 13,000 customers in New York and Pennsylvania, according to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Like others who have tried in vain to contact Able, the Pearsons turned to another oil company to provide them with a relatively quick fix.

“We were desperate,” Pearson said.

It has been a boon to surrounding businesses as several oil companies are now competing for former Able customers.

“There are a lot of oil dealers in the northwest part of the state who have picked up business because of Able’s inability to deliver to its customers,” said Eric DeGesero, executive director of the Fuel Merchants Association of New Jersey, an industry trade group, of which Able is not a member.

“It’s almost like a feeding frenzy right now,” said Charles Brand, President of Hart & Iliff, based in Newton.

Mark Fredericks, president of Fredericks Oil in Oak Ridge, said for the past two weeks he has been receiving approximately seven to 10 calls a day from Able customers like Rick Green who are as desperate for oil as they are angry at Able.

Green, who said he had been an Able customer for almost 20 years, never had a problem with service until this winter.

He said he would like to tell Able he is leaving but has not been able to speak with anyone directly, despite repeated attempts.

“If I could notify them that I severed my relationship, I would,” Green said, “but they won’t even answer the phone.”

At their office in Rockaway Tuesday morning, administrative staff could be heard on the phone apologizing to customers.

Neither Able CEO Gregory Frost nor company President Louis Aponte responded to calls seeking comment and customers said they have received no official explanation as to why their service stopped.

Able had incurred losses of approximately $12.9 million and $6.6 million during the years that ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, according to its most recent annual report filed with the SEC.

Able Energy suspended its obligation to file with the SEC in February 2009.

Last December, a group of minority shareholders, led by former owner Tim Harrington, attempted to oust the company’s board of directors.

Harrington, who sold the company in 2004, said shareholders were unhappy with the performance of current management after it “orchestrated a questionable merger with All American Plazas,” a truck stop company, “sold valuable assets, and became the subject of an SEC inquiry,”

The effort failed because Harrington did not have enough shareholder votes.

Jeff Fricchione, a Sparta resident and former Able customer who ran out of oil last week, said he is out hundreds of dollars for the up-front payments he made to Able.

DeGesero said he wasn’t sure to whom customers like Fricchione could file their complaint.

“To the best of my knowledge, it’s never happened,” DeGesero said. “Most oil companies have been operating for generations and have always been on the honor system.”

Pearson said she and her husband plan to send an angry letter to Able executives.

“They should at least have the respect or decency to contact their customers and let them know they’re having a problem.”

Able Energy Executives Subpoenaed

Able Energy Officers, Directors Receive Subpoenas As SEC Begins Formal Stock Options Probe


NEW YORK (AP) -- Able Energy Inc. said Monday certain officers and directors were subpoenaed to provide documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has begun a formal investigation into the fuel distributor's historical stock option practices.
The SEC launched an informal inquiry into the company's stock option grants in August 2005, Able Energy said.

Rockaway, N.J.-based Able said it "believes that it did not violate any securities laws and intends to cooperate fully with and assist the commission in its inquiry." More than 125 companies are under probe by federal regulators, or are voluntarily reviewing, their past stock option practices.

The company's Nasdaq-listed shares closed down 8 cents to $5.25, then shed 24 cents, or 4.6 percent, in aftermarket activity to $5.01.

this could be your answer?

I don't think it was overhyped

Able Energy Forms Biodiesel Venture

Able Energy Agrees to Biodiesel Joint Venture With Privately Held Company, Shares Soar


ROCKAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Able Energy Inc., a retail distributor of home heating oil and diesel fuel, on Tuesday said it has formed a joint venture with a privately held company to produce and distribute biodiesel.

Under the deal, Able Energy and partner BioEnergy of America Inc. will each hold a 50 percent stake in USA Biodiesel LLC, the joint venture company. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils and most often used as a blend with traditional diesel.

The companies plan to produce and distribute biodiesel through plants built at truck stop plazas, home heating depots and other areas where petroleum products are stored. Able Energy will construct and own the plants, using BioEnergy's designs and technologies.

Each plant is expected to produce about 15 million gallons of biodiesel fuel annually.

In a statement, Able Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Gregory D. Frost said the company is "committed to becoming a dominant player in the manufacture and distribution of this important alternative energy product."

Shares of Able Energy rose 53 cents, or 9.3 percent, in aftermarket activity to $6.25 on the INET electronic exchange. The stock lost 4 cents to close earlier at $5.72 on the Nasdaq.

what is going on with this stock, was it overhyped or is it undervalued?

ROCKAWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2006--Able Energy, Inc. ("Able") today announced financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net sales for the three months were $26.3 million compared to $23.7 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Net loss for the three months was $(1.5) million or $(0.52) per common share (basic and diluted) compared to net income of $569,000 or $0.28 per common share (basic and diluted) in the previous year.

Commenting on these results, Gregory D. Frost, Able's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Although the Company's revenues increased substantially during this quarter, we were unable to realize our projected profit margins due to record warm temperatures which significantly affected our home heating oil deliveries. Certain additional selling, general and administrative expenses for professional fees related to the Company's proposed purchase of All American Plazas, Inc. were recorded in the period. The All American acquisition, when completed, should allow the Company to diversify its business to allow for consistent year round revenues and a substantial increase of our revenues. While we have experienced a difficult quarter, our financial base remains strong as evidenced by the growth of our stockholders' equity as a result of the conversion of convertible debentures and exercise of options and warrants and we remain excited about our future which includes the marketing introduction of environmentally friendly, home grown, bio-diesel and bio-heat." Frost concluded, "Our anticipated financial resources present the opportunity for us to actively participate in the expected consolidation within our industry."
