The Company believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results for the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2017 relates to2020. Most of the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (‘‘Offering’’) described belowconstruction services are currently deemed essential under governmental mitigation orders and workall of our business segments continue to identify and negotiate an appropriate Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest.operate. The Company has generated non-operating incomeissued several notices of force majeure for the purpose of recognizing delays in the formconstruction schedules due to COVID-19 outbreaks on certain of interest income on cashits teams and cash equivalentshas also received notices of force majeure from the proceeds derived from the Offering.

The registration statement for the Offering was declared effectiveowners of certain projects and certain subcontractors. Management does not believe that any delays on July 6, 2016. On July 12, 2016, the Company consummated the Offeringprojects related to these events of 15,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is described more fully in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 460,000 Units (the “Private Units” and, with respect to the shares included in the Private Units, the “Private Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Company’s sponsor described below, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the lead underwriter for the Offering (“Cantor Fitzgerald”), generating gross proceeds of $4,600,000, which is described more fully in Note 4.

Sponsor and Financing:

The Company’s sponsors are M III Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and M III Sponsor I LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“M III LLC” and “M III LP,” respectively; and collectively, the ‘‘Sponsor’’). The Company intends to finance its Business Combination with net proceeds from the Offering (Note 3) and the Private Placement (Note 4). Substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement are held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

The Trust Account:

Following the closing of the Offering and the Private Placement on July 12, 2016, an amount of $150.0 million ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a United States-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) at Citibank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, which funds may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. The fundsforce majeure will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below, except that interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to pay taxes and up to $50,000 of dissolution expenses. The remaining proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement, which are held outside the Trust Account, may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

4

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes and up to $50,000 of dissolution expenses, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of 100% of the common stock included in the Units sold in the Offering, if the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination by July 12, 2018 (subject to the requirements of law); or (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend any provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, with it being understood that funds held in the Trust Account may be released in connection with the first to occur of such transactions.

Business Combination:

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating its Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. A ‘‘Target Business’’ means one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equalmaterial impact on its results of operations.


Management’s top priority has been to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect its Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for its Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets upon consummation of its Business Combination to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with the Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of common stock are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, ‘‘Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.’’ The amount in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2017 is approximately $10.05 per Public Share ($150,723,082 held in the Trust Account divided by 15,000,000 Public Shares).

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a ‘‘group’’ (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in the Offering (‘‘Excess Shares’’). However, the Company would not be restricting the stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination.

5

The Company must complete its Business Combination by July 12, 2018. If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by July 12, 2018, then it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest, but less taxes payable (and less up to $50,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The initial stockholders have entered into letter agreements with the Company (and Cantor Fitzgerald has agreed as part of its unit purchase agreement), pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their initial shares; however, if the initial stockholders or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire shares of common stock in or after the Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account with respect to such shares only upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the required time period.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering. In ordertake appropriate actions to protect the amounts held inhealth and safety of the Trust Account,Company's employees, customers and business partners, including adjusting the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has agreedCompany's standard operating procedures to respond to evolving health guidelines.

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss; fair value estimates; valuations of goodwill and intangible assets; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; accrued self-insured claims; other reserves and accruals; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of contingencies and ongoing litigation. While management believes that its estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions fromadopted the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

The JOBS Act providesall existing contracts that a company can elect to opt outwere not substantially completed as of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable.January 1, 2019. The Company has elected notadopted this standard for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2019, and recorded adjustments to opt outthe previously issued quarterly financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The impacts of such extended transition period which means thatadoption on the Company’s retained earnings on January 1, 2019 was primarily related to variable consideration on unapproved change orders. The cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606 required net adjustments of $750,000 to the statement of operations among revenue, cost of revenue and income taxes, thereby reducing income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and reducing the December 31, 2019 accumulated deficit. The Company also adjusted the September 30, 2019, statement of cash flows to reflect the impact of adoption.

    Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when an accounting standardcontrol of promised goods and services is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Cash and Securities Held in Trust Account:

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Offeringtransferred to customers, and the Private Placementamount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be usedservices transferred. Revenue is recognized by the Company in connectionprimarily over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress for fixed price contracts and is based on costs for time and materials and other service contracts, consistent with the consummationCompany’s previous revenue recognition practices.

Contracts
    The Company derives revenue primarily from construction projects performed under contracts for specific projects requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system. Contracts contain multiple pricing options, such as fixed price, time and materials, or unit price. Generally, renewable energy projects are performed for private customers while Specialty Civil projects are performed for various governmental entities.
    Revenue derived from projects billed on a fixed-price basis totaled 98.4% and 98.5% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and totaled 97.6% and 94.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue and related costs for contracts billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects billed on a time and materials basis totaled 1.6% and 1.5% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and totaled 2.4% and 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Construction contract revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for fixed price contracts. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. The contractual terms provide that the customer compensates the Company for services rendered.

    Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs, as well as indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the costs of capital equipment. The cost estimation and review process for recognizing revenue over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in revisions to revenue and costs of revenue in the period in which the revisions are determined on a prospective basis, which could materially affect the
7


Company’s results of operations for that period. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses are determined.
Performance Obligations
    A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price of a Business Combination, except that interest earned on fundscontract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s contracts often require significant integrated services and, even when delivering multiple distinct services, are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contract amendments and change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integrated service provided in the Trust Account may be used to pay taxes and up to $50,000 of dissolution expenses, if any. At September 30, 2017, allcontext of the assetscontract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. With the exception of certain Specialty Civil service contracts, the majority of the Company’s performance obligations are generally completed within one year.
    When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, the Company evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts, which could change the amount of revenue and profit recognition in a given period depending upon the Trust Account were invested inoutcome of the J.P. Morgan 100% US Treasury Money Market Fund (199) Institutional Share Class.evaluation.
    Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of unearned transaction prices for contracts, including approved and unapproved change orders. As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Trust Account had earned $723,082amount of the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $886.2 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 37.3% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue during 2020. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in interest,previous periods was $(0.8) million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $(4.4) million and $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Variable Consideration
    Transaction pricing for the Company’s contracts may include variable consideration, such as unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is heldincluded in the Trust Account, but may be releasedestimated transaction price to the Companyextent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Management’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to pay its tax obligationsinclude estimated amounts in transaction price are based on legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer and upall other relevant information that is reasonably available. The effect of a change in variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is typically recognized as an adjustment to $50,000revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and liquidated damages reflected in transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent incentives reflected in transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, dissolution expenses.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards - Guidance Adopted in 2020

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement:

ASC 820 establishes aMeasurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, such as the amount of and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain disclosures per ASU 2018-13 were applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020, and it did not have an impact on our disclosures for fair value measurements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,“Leases (Topic 842), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Under Topic 842, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that prioritizesrepresents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Topic 842 requires entities to adopt the new lease standard using a modified retrospective method and ranksinitially apply the related guidance at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. 

    The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method as of January 1, 2019 and for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2019, without adjusting comparative periods in the financial statements. The most significant effect of the new guidance was the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and a liability for operating
9


leases as of December 31, 2019. The accounting for finance leases (capital leases) was substantially unchanged. The Company elected to utilize permissible practical expedients that allowed entities to: (1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases; (2) retain the existing classification of lease contracts as of the date of adoption; (3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and (4) not separate non-lease components for all classes of leased assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
    In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the measurement and recognition of credit losses on most financial assets, including trade accounts receivables. The expected credit loss methodology under ASU 2016-13 is based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, and replaces the probable/incurred loss model for measuring and recognizing expected losses under current GAAP. The ASU also requires disclosure of information regarding how a company developed its allowance, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. The ASU and its related clarifying updates are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the new standard but do not expect it to have a material impact on our estimate of the allowance for uncollectable accounts.

    In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2019-12.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Contract Assets and Liabilities

The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon agreed-upon contractual terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Sometimes, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled revenue, which is accounted for as a contract asset. Sometimes we receive advance payments or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue, which is accounted for as a contract liability.

    Contract assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the following:

costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, which arise when revenue has been recorded but the amount has not been billed; and

retainage amounts for the portion of the contract price billed by us for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until we reach certain construction milestones or complete the project.

    Contract assets consist of the following:

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

    The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputsinput that is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specificsignificant to the investment, market conditions and other factors.fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy givesare described below:

Level 1 — Inputs to the highest priority to unadjustedfair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest prioritylisted on active market exchanges.
12


Level 2 — Inputs to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).

Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as follows:

Level I – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

Level II – Pricingwell as direct or indirect observable inputs, are other than quoted prices included within Level Isuch as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. at commonly quoted intervals.

Level II pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

In some cases, the inputs used3 — Inputs to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

In such cases,2019, the levelCompany entered into three equity agreements and issued Series B Preferred Stock as discussed in Note 6. Debt and Series B Preferred Stock. The agreements require that on the conversion of any of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock to common shares, the Series B Preferred Stock will receive additional warrants (Anti-dilution Warrants) to purchase common shares at a price of $0.0001 per share. The agreements also require that if the Company fails to meet a certain Adjusted EBITDA (as that term is defined in the fair value hierarchy within whichagreements) threshold on a trailing twelve-month basis from May 31, 2020 through April 30, 2021, the investment is categorizedSeries B Preferred Stock will receive additional warrants (Performance Warrants) to purchase common shares at $0.0001 per share.

Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.time.

    The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

Financial Instruments:

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and payables, approximates the carrying amounts represented ininformation below describes the balance sheet classification and the recurring fair value measurement for these two requirements:


    Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilutionWarrants(recurring) - The number of common shares attributable to the warrants issued to Series B Preferred Stockholders upon conversion by Series A Preferred Stockholders is determined on a 30-day volume weighted average. The Anti-dilution warrant liability was valued using the stock price at the end of the quarter and were recorded as a liability.

13


Series B-1 Preferred Stock - Performance Warrants (recurring) - In 2019, the warrant liability was recorded at fair value as a liability, using a Monte Carlo Simulation based on certain significant unobservable inputs, such as a risk rate premium, Adjusted EBITDA volatility, stock price volatility and projected Adjusted EBITDA for the Company.

    Other financial instruments of the Company not listed in the table consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities that approximate their fair values. Additionally, management believes that the outstanding recorded balance on the line of credit and long-term debt, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimatestheir floating interest rates.

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC 740, ‘‘Income Taxes,’’ which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributeweighted average interest rate for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no uncertain tax benefitsterm loan as of September 30, 2017.

2020 and December 31, 2019, was 7.06% and 10.35%, respectively.

Debt Covenants
The term loan is governed by the terms of the Third A&R Credit Agreement, which include customary affirmative and negative covenants and provide for customary events of default, which include, nonpayment of principal or interest and failure to timely deliver financial statements. Under the Third A&R Credit Agreement, the financial covenant provides that the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) may not exceed (i) prior to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, 4.75:1.0, (ii) for the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020, 3.50:1.0, (iii) for the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021, 2.75:1.0, and (iv) for all subsequent quarters, 2.25:1.0.

    The Third A&R Credit Agreement also includes certain limitations on the payment of cash dividends on the Company's common shares and provides for other restrictions on (subject to certain exceptions) liens, indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent obligations), investments (including loans, advances and acquisitions), mergers and other fundamental changes and sales and other dispositions of property or assets, among others.

Debt - Series B Preferred Stock
In 2019, the Company entered into three equity agreements with Ares Management, LLC, on behalf of its affiliated funds, investment vehicles and/or managed accounts (“Ares”) and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management (“Oaktree”). These resulted in Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”), Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) and Series B-3 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-3 Preferred Stock”) (collectively referred to as “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock is a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument under ASC Topic 480 and has been recorded as a liability using the effective interest rate method for each tranche. The mandatory redemption date for all tranches of the Series B Preferred is February 15, 2025.

The Series B Preferred Stock requires quarterly dividend payments calculated at a 12% annual rate on all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock when the Company’s First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Third A&R Credit Agreement)
14


is less than or equal to 1.50:1.0 and a 13.5% rate if the ratio if greater. The Series B Preferred Stock agreements allow the Company to accrue, but not pay, the dividends at a 15.0% annual rate. Accrued dividends increase the amount of Series B Preferred Stock. Accrued dividends were $18.3 million and $10.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Prior to June 30, 2020, the Company accrued its Series B Preferred Stock payments; the June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 payments were made in cash. Dividend payments are not deductible in calculating the Company’s federal and state income taxes.

In connection with each of the Series B Preferred Stock transactions, the Company provided warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 as follows:

On May 20, 2019, the Company received $50.0 million at the closing of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and issued 2,545,934 warrants which was an amount equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company based on the Company's fully diluted share count. The warrants were valued at the closing stock price of $4.21 and were recorded as additional paid in capital.

On August 30, 2019, the Company received $50.0 million at the closing of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and issued 900,000 warrants. The warrants were valued at the closing stock price of $3.75 and recorded as additional paid in capital.

On November 14, 2019, the Company received $80.0 million and issued 3,568,750 warrants which were initially valued at the closing stock price of $2.20 and were recorded as a liability. On January 21, 2020 the Company received shareholder approval for the issuance of the warrants and the liability was marked to market at a price of $3.69 and recorded as additional paid in capital.

On November 14, 2019, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock converted 50% of their shares to Series B Preferred Stock thereby reducing the potential dilution of converted shares. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock were issued 657,383 warrants which were initially valued at the closing stock price of $2.20 and were recorded as a liability. On January 21, 2020, the Company received shareholder approval for the issuance of the warrants and the liability was marked to market at a price of $3.69 and recorded as additional paid in capital.

As a part of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock transactions, the Company conducted a rights offering which provided common shareholders a right to purchase Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. The offering was initially valued using a Black-Scholes model and was recorded as a liability. On March 4, 2020, the rights offering was completed. The Company received $350 and issued 12,029 warrants valued at a closing price of $3.08. The liability was transferred to additional paid in capital.

The Series B-3 Preferred Stock agreement also required that the Company issue additional Series B Preferred Stock of approximately $15.0 million in 2019 (the 2019 Commitment) and $15.0 million (the 2020 Commitment) if the Company did not attain specified debt and liquidity levels. The Company met the 2019 Commitments at the end of 2019, and the 2019 Commitment was cancelled. On July 22, 2020, the Company and Series B Preferred Stockholders entered into an agreement which terminated the 2020 Commitment and the Company paid $1,322 (recorded as interest expense) in full satisfaction of the 2019 Commitment and 2020 Commitment Fees and reimbursed certain expenses in the amount of $344 (recorded as Selling, general and administrative expenses).

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that provide financing for its machinery and equipment, facility and vehicle needs. The Company reviews these agreements for potential lease classification, and at inception, determines whether a lease is an operating or finance lease. Lease assets and liabilities, which generally represent the present value of future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, are recognized as of the commencement date. Under Topic 842, leases with an initial lease term of twelve months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the lease contains a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised.
    Lease term, discount rate, variable lease costs and future minimum lease payment determinations require the use of judgment as these are based on the facts and circumstances related to each specific lease. Lease terms are generally based on their initial non-cancelable terms, unless there is a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need are considered to determine if a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The implicit rate in a lease agreement is used when it can be determined. Otherwise, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available as of the lease commencement date, including applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, is used to determine the value of the lease obligation.
Finance Leases
    The Company has obligations, exclusive of associated interest, under various finance leases for equipment totaling $57.0 million and $64.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Gross property under this capitalized lease agreement at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, totaled $121.9 million and $116.1 million, less accumulated depreciation of $49.2 million and $34.0 million, respectively, for net balances of $72.7 million and $82.1 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for assets held under the finance leases is included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Operating Leases
    In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable operating leases for certain of its facilities, vehicles and equipment. The Company has obligations, exclusive of associated interest, totaling $40.0 million and $44.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Property under these operating lease agreements at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, totaled $38.5 million and $43.4 million, respectively.

    The Company has long-term power-by-the-hour equipment rental agreements with a construction equipment manufacturer that have a guaranteed minimum monthly hour requirement.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company is required to file income tax returnspost letters of credit and surety bonds to customers in support of performance under certain contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit or surety bond commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit or surety bond under certain conditions. If the letter of credit or surety bond issuer were required to pay any amount to a holder,
17


the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer, which, depending upon the circumstances, could result in a charge to earnings. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company was contingently liable under letters of credit issued under its Third A&R Credit Agreement, in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by various taxing authorities since its inception. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions$23.5 million and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is$21.0 million, respectively, related to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interestprojects. In addition, as of September 30, 2017. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Redeemable Common Stock:

All of the 15,000,000 shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such common stock under the Company's liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. The initial stockholders and Cantor Fitzgerald have waived their rights to participate in such redemption with respect to their initial shares. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, it provides that in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon the closing of its Business Combination.

8

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the securities to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.

Accordingly, at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, 13,950,2032019, the Company had outstanding surety bonds on projects of $2.7 billion and 13,991,772, respectively, of the 15,000,000 Public Shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.$2.4 billion, respectively.



Note 8. Earnings Per Share

    The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (approximately $10.05Company calculates earnings (loss) per share at September 30, 2017).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Offering Costs:

Offering costs consist principally of legal, underwriting commissions and other costs that are directly related to the Offering. All of such underwriting costs, amounting to approximately $9,600,000 (including $3,000,000 of underwriting commissions paid upon the closing of the Offering), were incurred prior to or shortly after the consummation of the Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon completion of the Offering, except that $6,000,000 of such amount is recorded as a liability(“EPS”) in the accompanying balance sheet on account of deferred underwriting commissions.

Net Income (Loss) per Share:

The Company compliesaccordance with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss)Earnings per common shareShare. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subjectoutstanding during the period.


    Income (loss) available to possible redemption atcommon stockholders is computed by deducting the dividends accrued for the period on cumulative preferred stock from net income, contingent consideration fair value adjustments and net income allocated to participating securities. If there is a net loss, the amount of the loss is increased by those preferred dividends and contingent consideration fair value adjustment.

    Diluted EPS assumes the dilutive effect of (i) contingently issuable earn-out shares, (ii) Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, and (iii) the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and warrants and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”), using the treasury stock method.

    Whether the Company has net income, or a net loss determines whether potential issuances of common stock are included in the diluted EPS computation or whether they would be anti-dilutive. As a result, if there is a net loss, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Similarly, if the Company has net income but its preferred dividend adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed the same as basic EPS.

Such amounts can only be used byweighted average share calculation as the Company in connection with the consummationcontingent event (conversion of a Business Combination, except that interest earned on funds in the Trust Account may be used to pay taxes and up to $50,000 of dissolution expenses, if any.

NOTE 5 — PUBLIC OFFERING

On July 12, 2016, the Company consummated the Offering of 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the ‘‘Warrants’’). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at a price of $5.75 (i.e., $11.50 per whole share). No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or July 12, 2017 and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company doesSeries A Preferred Stock) had not complete its Business Combination on or prior to July 12, 2018, the Warrants will expireoccurred at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered sharesquarter.


The second set of common stock toadditional warrants would be issued if the Warrant holder upon exercise of the Warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these Warrants and the Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in theany warrant agreement. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, but only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment option.

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares:

In August 2015, M III LLC purchased an aggregate 3,593,750 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share. On November 5, 2015, the Company effectuated a 1.760-for-1 stock split in the form of a dividend. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated for the effect of this stock split. On December 31, 2015, the Company cancelled 1,293,750 Founder Shares issued in the stock split, and on July 6, 2016, the Company cancelled a further 718,750 Founder Shares issued in the stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares outstanding. After giving effect to the forfeiture of 562,500 shares because the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised, there are 3,750,000 Founder Shares currently outstanding. As a result of the stock split and subsequent partial cancellations and forfeiture, the per-share purchase price of the Founder Shares decreased to $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Business Combination, or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the ‘‘Lock Up Period’’). If subsequent to the Business Combination, the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Private Placement Units:

On July 12, 2016, the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald purchased from the Company an aggregate of 460,000 private placement units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock with an exercise price of $5.75 per half share, at a price$11.50 or higher.


19


The final set of $10.00 per unit (the ‘‘Private Placement Units’’). 340,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 120,000 Private Placement Units were purchased by Cantor Fitzgerald. The purchase price of the Private Placement Units was added to the net proceeds from the Offering deposited in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination. The Private Placement Units (including their component securities) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor Fitzgerald or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, Cantor Fitzgerald or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Warrants included in the Units sold in the Offering. In addition, for as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by Cantor Fitzgerald or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Offering. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the Offering and have no net cash settlement provisions.

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination, then the proceeds from the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Units and their component securities issued to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald will expire worthless.

Related Party Loans:

M-III LLC had agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $250,000 against the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Offering. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of July 31, 2016 or the completion of the Offering. As of December 31, 2016, all amounts owed under the Note had been repaid. In addition to the Note, M-III LLC advanced the Company an additional $2,766 to cover expenses related to the Offering, which was also repaid upon consummation of the Offering on July 12, 2016.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes its Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds released from the Trust Account. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans will be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identicalissued if the exercise of any equity issued pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants discussed above.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment of $23.1 million to such loans.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Underwriting Agreement

the liability primarily based on the significant decrease in the Company's prior year stock price. The Company paid an underwriting discountdid not achieve the 2019 financial targets and therefore no contingent consideration was earned at December 31, 2019.


Stock Compensation
    Under guidance of 2%ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” stock-based compensation expense is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the Unit offering price tostock-based award, and is recognized as expense over the underwriters atemployee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

    The fair value of the RSUs was based on the closing market price of the Offering (or $3.0 million), with an additional fee (the ‘‘Deferred Discount’’) of 4% of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will be forfeited by the underwriters if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

Registration Rights

The Company’s initial stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Units (and their constituent securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signedour common stock on the date of the prospectusgrant. Stock compensation expense for the Offering. The Company’s initial stockholders and holders ofRSUs is being amortized using the Private Placement Units (and their constituent securities) are entitled to make up tostraight-line method over the service period. For the three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have ‘‘piggy-back’’ registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The registration rights agreement does not provide for any cash penalties or additional penalties associated with any delays in registering the securities.

NOTE 8 — TRUST ACCOUNT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Upon the closing of the Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $150,000,000 was deposited into the Trust Account. All proceeds in the Trust Account may be invested only in either U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest solely in U.S. government treasury obligations.

Atmonths ended September 30, 2017, the proceeds2020 and 2019, we recognized $1.1 million and $1.1 million in the Trust Account were invested in money market funds holding U.S. government treasury bills yielding interest of approximately 0.4%. The carrying value of the investment is stated at marketcompensation expense, respectively, and includes interest income of $723,082 at September 30, 2017, of which $622,610 was earned in$3.1 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The following table presents information aboutCompany’s statutory federal tax rate was 21.00% for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. State tax rates for the same period vary among states and range from approximately 0.8% to 12.0%. A small number of states do not impose an income tax.

    The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019were 35.3% and (4.6)%, respectively, and were 82.5% and 41.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate primarily results from permanent differences related to the interest accrued for the Series B Preferred Stock, which is not deductible for federal and state income taxes. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 have the full impact of all the Series B Preferred Stock that was issued in 2019 whereas the nine months ended September 30, 2019 only have a relatively small amount of non-deductible Series B Preferred Stock expenses. There were 0 changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

    On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted by the US Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide employment retention incentives. We do not believe that these relief measures materially affect the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of 2020.

Note 10. Segments

    We operate our business as two reportable segments: the Renewables segment and the Specialty Civil segment. Each of our reportable segments is comprised of similar business units that specialize in services unique to their respective markets. The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made based on segment revenue.

Overview

    We are a leading diversified infrastructure construction company with specialized energy and heavy civil expertise throughout the United States. We segregate our business into two reportable segments: the Renewables segment and the Specialty Civil segment.

The Renewables segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services for the power delivery, solar, wind and battery storage markets that includes design, procurement, construction, restoration, and maintenance. The Company is one of the largest providers in the renewable energy industry and has completed more than 200 utility scale wind and solar projects in 35 states.

    The Specialty Civil segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services that include:

Heavy civil construction services such as road and bridge construction, specialty paving, sports field development, industrial maintenance, outsourced contract mining and heavy hauling.

Environmental remediation services such as site development, environmental site closure, and coal ash management.
Rail infrastructure services such as planning, design, procurement, construction and maintenance of major railway and intermodal facilities.

The Company has created a diverse national platform of specialty construction capabilities with market leadership in the niche markets of power delivery, solar power, wind power, rail, heavy civil and environmental.

Coronavirus Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to significantly impact the United States and the world. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been focused on the safety of our employees and ensuring that our construction sites are managed by taking all reasonable precautions to protect on-site personnel.

    We took the following actions in the first half of 2020 to address the risks attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic:

We established a dedicated COVID-19 task force representing all parts of the Company to review and implement actions to prepare for the impacts on our operations, including a variety of protocols in the areas of social distancing, working from home, emergency office and project site closures, and travel restrictions.

In addition to our existing site crisis management plans, our operations expanded and implemented their pandemic response plans to ensure a consistent, comprehensive response to various COVID-19 scenarios.

We implemented more stringent office and project site cleaning and hygiene protocols in all locations. We also developed more stringent tool, vehicle and equipment cleaning protocols.

For employees, we established a regularly updated COVID-19 information hub with FAQs, important communications, regularly updated protocols, business planning tools, best practices, signage/flyers and other important resources.

We significantly increased communications, signage and oversight of personal hygiene requirements to drive better prevention practices.

We postponed social gatherings, large in-person training sessions and other activities involving groups of 10 or more.

24


We prohibited virtually all Company air travel unless approved by executive leadership. We also required all employees to report their personal travel schedules in order to closely monitor and take any necessary steps to maintain the safety of our workforce.

We increased our efforts to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses by implementing a hiring freeze, delaying the Company 401(k) match until later in the year, prohibiting all non-essential travel, reducing new initiatives, deferring promotions and salary changes, and canceling any non-essential capital expenditures or consulting work.

To mitigate the effects of working from home and travel bans, we significantly increased the use of remote communication technologies.

    We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, including disease progression, federal, state and local government actions, CDC and WHO responses, supplier and supply chain risks, and prevention and containment measures to maintain business operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses by federal, state and local governments continue to evolve, we continue to make adjustments to our practices and policies to protect the health of our employees and those we work with at our projects and office locations, while continuing to provide our essential construction services to our clients.

    We believe that the foregoing actions have significantly reduced the Company’s management. Actualexposure to the effects of COVID-19, including our workforce’s exposure to infection from COVID-19. As of today, we have had a low incidence of infection in our workforce.

    The impact of COVID-19 on construction businesses such as ours is evolving rapidly and its future effects are uncertain.  The Company has received several notices of force majeure from project owners as a result of delivery delays due to COVID-19. We have experienced project interruptions and restrictions that have delayed project timelines from those originally planned, and we have experienced some temporary work stoppages. This has led to general inefficiencies from having to start and stop work, re-sequencing work, requiring on-site health screenings before entering a job site, and following proper social distancing practices. To date, the inefficiencies we have experienced have had an unquantifiable negative impact on our results of operations during the third quarter and management does not anticipate a negative impact going forward from slower delivery of equipment. However, we cannot predict significant disruptions beyond our control, including quarantines and customer work stoppages, significant force majeure declarations by our suppliers or other equipment providers material to our projects.

We have also noticed an impact of COVID-19 in adding new projects to our backlog. Our bidding activity continues at very high levels, but the final approval process for some projects has been slowed due to COVID-19. Despite that, we were able to add $150 million to our backlog in the quarter, and since quarter end the Company has added a significant amount of new projects. See ‘‘Backlog’’ for further discussion.

We are continuing to take actions to preserve our liquidity such as limiting our hiring and delaying spending on non-critical initiatives. At this point, we do not believe that COVID-19 is having a negative impact on our liquidity. We could see a change in this status if we experience future work stoppages at our projects which would prevent us from billing customers for new work performed. If the federal, state and local governments proceed with more restrictive measures, and our customers determine to stop work or terminate projects, these actions would negatively impact our business, results of operations, liquidity and prospects. In addition, the Company is unable to predict any changes in the market for bonding by our sureties.

Economic and Market Factors

    We closely monitor the effects that changes in economic and market conditions may have on our customers. General economic and market conditions can negatively affect demand for our customers’ products and services, which can lead to reductions in our customers’ capital and maintenance budgets in certain end-markets. In the face of increased pricing pressure, we strive to maintain our profit margins through productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Other market, regulatory and industry factors could also affect demand for our services, such as:

changes to our customers’ capital spending plans;

mergers and acquisitions among the customers we serve;

access to capital for customers in the industries we serve;

25


changes in tax and other incentives;

new or changing regulatory requirements or other governmental policy uncertainty;

economic, market or political developments; and

changes in technology.

    We cannot predict the effect that changes in such factors may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, and we may be unable to fully mitigate, or benefit from, such changes.
Industry Trends

    Our industry is composed of national, regional and local companies in a range of industries, including renewable power generation, traditional power generation and the civil infrastructure industries. We believe the following industry trends will help to drive our growth and success over the coming years:

Renewables - We have maintained a focus on construction of renewable power production capacity as renewable energy, particularly from wind and solar. On December 16, 2019, the federal government implemented an agreement that extended lapsed and expiring tax breaks for wind renewable projects. The extension provides a single year extension of the production tax credit (“PTC”) at a 60% level and the investment tax credit (“ITC”) at an 18% level to qualifying projects for which the construction commencement date is now prior to January 1, 2021. On May 27, 2020, the federal government extended the safe harbor for completion of projects from four years to five years giving an extra year to complete construction due to delays from COVID-19. We believe that demand will continue to remain strong even after expiration due to the following factors:

Technological advances in turbines sizes and battery storage continue to drive lower costs of electricity generated from wind and solar farms;

Approximately 40 states, as well as the District of Columbia and four territories, have adopted renewable portfolio standards or goals that incentivize clean energy; and

The Annual Energy Outlook 2020 published by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) in January 2020 projected the addition of approximately 117 gigawatts of new utility-scale wind and solar capacity from 2020 to 2023. We estimate that EPC services will account for approximately 30% of the estimated $28.4 billion of construction over that time period.

    We believe that a reduction of owner financing related to the current COVID-19 environment could cause delays or cancellations of future projects which could challenge our future revenue streams in the Renewables segment:

Specialty Civil - Our Specialty Civil revenue has been generated through a combination of heavy civil construction, rail construction and environmental remediation. On September 22, 2020, the federal highway, bridge and public transportation programs would be extended for one year under a House bill that also funds the federal government. With this extension expected to be approved, we believe that demand will continue to remain strong based on the following factors:

Heavy civil - the FMI 2020 Overview Report published in the fourth quarter of 2019 project that nonresidential construction put in place for the United States will be over $850 million per year from 2020 to 2023.

Rail - Fostering Advancements in Shipping And Transportation For The Long-Term Achievement of National Efficiencies (FASTLANE) grants are expected to provide $4.5 billion through 2020 to freight and highway projects of national or regional significance.

Environmental remediation - According to the American Coal Ash Association, more than 102.3 million tons of coal ash was generated in 2018 and 42% of coal ash generated was disposed of.

    We believe that a decrease in consumption taxes due to COVID-19 could cause decreases in state departments of transportation budgets from lack of revenues thus reducing civil construction projects which could challenge our future revenue streams in the Specialty Civil segment.

Impact of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of Business

    Our revenue and results of operations are subject to seasonal and other variations. These variations are influenced by weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project schedules and timing, in particular, for large non-recurring projects and holidays. Typically, our revenue in our Renewable segment is lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions experienced in the northern climates are not conducive to efficient or safe construction practices. Revenue in the second quarter is typically higher than in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather and effects from thawing ground conditions can often impact second quarter productivity. The third and fourth quarters are typically the most productive quarters of the year as a greater number of projects are underway and weather is normally more accommodating to construction projects. In the fourth quarter, many projects tend to be completed by customers seeking to spend their capital budgets before the end of the year, which generally has a positive impact on our revenue. Nevertheless, the holiday season and inclement weather can cause delays, which can reduce revenue and increase costs on affected projects. Any quarter may be positively or negatively affected by adverse or unusual weather patterns, including excessive rainfall, warm winter weather or natural catastrophes such as hurricanes or other severe weather, making it difficult to predict quarterly revenue and margin variations. The Company started construction on 2020 renewable projects in late 2019 due to the desire of our customers to finish these projects before September 30, 2020. This shift in demand impacted 2020 quarterly revenues, which shifted revenue from the fourth quarter back into the second and third quarter of 2020.

    Our revenue and results of operations for our Specialty Civil segment are also affected by seasonality but to a lesser extent as these projects are more geographically diverse and located in less severe weather areas. While the first and second quarter revenues are typically lower than the third and fourth quarter, this diversity has allowed this segment to be less seasonal over the course of the year.

    Our industry is also highly cyclical. Fluctuations in end-user demand within the industries we serve, or in the supply of services within those industries, can impact demand for our services. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects. Variations in project schedules or unanticipated changes in project schedules, in particular, in connection with large construction and installation projects, can create fluctuations in revenue, which may adversely affect us in a given period. In addition, revenue from master service agreements, while generally predictable, can be subject to volatility. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital, variations in project margins, regional, national and global economic, political and market conditions, regulatory or environmental influences, and acquisitions, dispositions or strategic investments can also materially affect quarterly results. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

    This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about our operating results, including the results of construction contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method, and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Given that management estimates, by their nature, involve judgments regarding future uncertainties, actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions change or if certain key assumptions used in making these estimates ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Refer to Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements and to our 2019 Form 10-K for discussion of our significant accounting policies.

    We believe that our key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss; fair value estimates, including those related to Series B Preferred Stock; valuations of goodwill and intangible assets; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; accrued self-insured claims; other reserves and accruals; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of contingencies and ongoing litigation. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations, actual results could differ materially from those contemplatedestimates.

    The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes relating thereto, included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue. Revenue increased 23.7%, or $100.2 million, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

Renewables Segment. Renewables revenue was $327.1 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $242.7 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $84.4 million, or 34.8%. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our solar division of $65.2 million coupled with more favorable weather conditions at job sites.

Specialty Civil Segment. Specialty Civil revenue was $195.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $179.4 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $15.8 million, or 8.8% . The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of projects under construction in our heavy civil and rail divisions.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 11.4%, or $6.0 million, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 11.3% in the quarter, as compared to 12.5% in the prior-year period.

Renewables Segment. Gross profit was $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 11.4% in the quarter, as compared to 11.3% in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit dollars is related to a larger number and greater average value of construction projects.

Specialty Civil Segment. Gross profit was $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 11.0% in the quarter, as compared to 14.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease in dollars and percentage was related to lower margins generated on a greater number of heavy civil projects compared to rail and environmental in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.3%, or $1.7 million, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.7% of revenue in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 7.4% in the same period in 2019. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by lower professional fees in 2020 compared to 2019 due to transaction fees on Series B Preferred Stock. This decrease was offset by increased compensation expense related to significantly larger operations in both of the Company's operating segments.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased by $1.0 million, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily driven by dividends on Series B Preferred Stock, which have a higher effective interest rate than our term loan and are recorded as interest expense.

Other income. Other income decreased by $1.3 million, to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily the result of the impact of reducing a contingent liability in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a decrease in the warrant liability in the third quarter of 2020. See further discussion in Note 8. Earnings Per Share included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $6.7 million, to an expense of $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to a benefit of $0.6 million for the same period in 2019. The effective tax rates for the period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019were 35.3% and (4.6)%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to accrued dividends for the Series B Preferred Stock which are recorded as interest expense and not deductible for federal and state income taxes. The three months ended September 30, 2020 have the full impact of all the Series B Preferred Stock that was issued in 2019 whereas the three months ended September 30, 2019 only have a relatively small amount of non-deductible Series B Preferred Stock expenses. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Revenue. Revenue increased 44.8%, or $421.2 million, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

Renewables Segment. Renewables revenue was $900.1 million for the first nine months of 2020, as compared to $495.8 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $404.2 million, or 81.5%. The increase was primarily due to more favorable weather conditions at job sites, the benefit from mobilization of several wind projects at the end of 2019, an increase in the number and value of projects during the quarter and to a lesser extent the increase in the solar division.

Specialty Civil Segment. Specialty Civil revenue was $460.9 million for the first nine months of 2020, as compared to $443.9 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $17.0 million, or 3.8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of projects under construction in our heavy civil and rail divisions.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 62.3%, or $56.1 million, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 10.7% in the quarter, as compared to 9.6% in the prior-year period. The 2020 gross profit included the impact of recognizing increased potential future costs from the COVID-19 pandemic, which
30


reduced gross margin and based on expected project completion, we could recognize an increase of margin in the fourth quarter of up to $6.0 million if those projects do not have additional COVID-19 related expenses.

Renewables Segment. Gross profit was $100.2 million for the first nine months of 2020, as compared to $44.8 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 11.1% in the quarter, as compared to 9.0% in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit percentage and dollars is related to the increased revenue, coupled with reduced adverse weather conditions in 2020 and a larger number and greater average value of construction projects.

Specialty Civil Segment. Gross profit was $46.0 million for the first nine months of 2020, as compared to $45.3 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 10.0% in the quarter, as compared to 10.2% in the prior-year period. Gross profit was consistent year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.7%, or $2.3 million, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 6.4% of revenue in the first nine months of 2020, compared to 9.0% in the same period in 2019. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by lower professional fees in 2020 compared to 2019 due to transaction fees on Series B Preferred Stock. This decrease was offset by increased compensation expense related to significantly larger operations in both of the Company's operating segments.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased by $11.4 million, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily driven by dividends on Series B Preferred Stock, which have a higher effective interest rate than our term loan and are recorded as interest expense.

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) decreased by $22.1 million, to other income of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to other income of $22.5 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily the result of the impact of reducing a contingent liability by $22.5 million in 2019. See further discussion in Note 8. Earnings Per Share included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $13.4 million, to an expense of $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to a benefit of $3.4 million for the same period in 2019. The effective tax rates for the period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019were 82.5% and 41.0%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily attributable to accrued dividends for the Series B Preferred Stock which are recorded as interest expense and not deductible for federal and state income taxes. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 have the full impact of all the Series B Preferred Stock that was issued in 2019 whereas the nine months ended September 30, 2019 only have a relatively small amount of non-deductible Series B Preferred Stock expenses. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Backlog

    For companies in the construction industry, backlog can be an indicator of future revenue streams. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize from the uncompleted portions of existing construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun and awarded contracts for which the definitive project documentation is being prepared, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Estimated backlog for work under fixed price contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers. Cost-reimbursable contracts are included in backlog based on the estimated total contract price upon completion.

    As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our total backlog was approximately $1.9 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, compared to $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2019. The decrease from the prior year end and the prior year period was primarily related to timing based on a slow down in the bid approval process related to COVID-19. See ‘‘Coronavirus Pandemic Update’’ for further discussion. The Company expects to recognize revenue related to its backlog of 18.7% for the remainder of 2020, 50.8% in 2021, and 30.5% in 2022 and beyond.

31


The following table summarizes our backlog by segment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
(in millions)
SegmentsSeptember 30, 2020December 31, 2019
Renewables$1,435.5 $1,582.5 
Specialty Civil472.2 588.7 
  Total$1,907.7 $2,171.2 
Based on historical trends in the Company’s backlog, we believe awarded contracts to be firm and that the revenue for such contracts will be recognized over the life of the project. Timing of revenue for construction and installation projects included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of certaincustomer delays, regulatory factors detailedand/or other project-related factors. These changes could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. In the past, we have occasionally experienced postponements, cancellations and reductions on construction projects, due to market volatility and regulatory factors. There can be no assurance as to our customers’ requirements or the accuracy of our estimates. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings.

    Backlog is not a term recognized under GAAP, although it is a common measurement used in our filingsindustry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. See ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors’’ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

SEC on March 12, 2020 for a discussion of the risks associated with our backlog.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview


    Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our cash balances and availability under our Third A&R Credit Agreement. Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, debt service, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, income taxes, capital expenditures, insurance collateral, and strategic acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $57.3 million in cash, and $26.5 million availability under our Third A&R Credit Agreement.

We anticipate that our existing cash balances, funds generated from operations, and borrowings will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months. No assurance can be given, however, that these sources will be sufficient, because there are many factors which could affect our liquidity, including some which are beyond our control. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020 for a discussion of the risks associated with our liquidity. Please also see ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors’’ of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On October 30, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to our Third A&R Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase in the revolving credit commitments previously available by $25.0 million, bringing the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments under the Third A&R Credit Agreement to $75.0 million, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Third A&R Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment. The Amendment also changes the calculation of the interest rate and the commitment fee. See Note 12. Subsequent Events to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the terms of the Amendment.

Capital Expenditures

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $19.3 million in finance lease payments and an additional $6.7 million cash purchases for equipment. We estimate that we will spend approximately two percent of revenue for capital expenditures for 2020 and 2021. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease in the future depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment lease versus buy decisions based on short and long-term equipment requirements.

Working Capital

    We require working capital to support seasonal variations in our business, primarily due to the effect of weather conditions on external construction and maintenance work and the spending patterns of our customers, both of which influence the timing of associated spending to support related customer demand. Our business is typically slower in the first quarter of each calendar year. Working capital needs are generally lower during the spring when projects are awarded and we receive down payments from customers. Conversely, working capital needs generally increase during the summer or fall months due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate. Again, working capital needs are typically lower and working capital is converted to cash during the winter months. These seasonal trends, however, can be offset by changes in the timing of projects, which can be affected by project delays or accelerations and/or other factors that may affect customer spending.

    Generally, we receive 5% to 10% cash payments from our customers upon the inception of our Renewable projects. Timing of billing milestones and project close-outs can contribute to changes in unbilled revenue. As of September 30, 2020, substantially all of our costs in excess of billings and earnings will be billed to customers in the normal course of business within the next twelve months. Net accounts receivable balances, which consist of contract billings as well as costs and earnings in excess of billings and retainage, increased to $402.8 million as of September 30, 2020 from $382.9 million as of December 31, 2019, due primarily to higher levels of revenue, timing of project activity, and collection of billings to customers.

    Our billing terms are generally net 30 days, and some of our contracts allow our customers to retain a portion of the contract amount (generally, from 5% to 10%) until the job is completed. As part of our ongoing working capital management practices, we evaluate opportunities to improve our working capital cycle time through contractual provisions and certain financing arrangements. Our agreements with subcontractors often may contain a ‘‘pay-if-paid’’ provision, whereby our payments to subcontractors are made only after we are paid by our customers.

Sources and Uses of Cash

    Sources and uses of cash are summarized below:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)20202019
Net cash used in operating activities(58,798)(55,473)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities(1,729)1,586 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities(29,434)25,750 
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $58.8 million, as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $55.5 million over the same period in 2019. The increase in net cash used by operating activities reflects the timing of receipts from customers and payments to vendors in the ordinary course of business. The change was primarily attributable to related to reduced collections of accounts receivable and lower contract assets offset by increased payments on payables and accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.7 million, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.6 million over the same period in 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to a reduction of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29.4 million, as compared to net cash provided of $25.8 million over the same period in 2019. The reduction of cash provided by financing activities of $55.2 million was primarily attributable to a sale leaseback transaction of $24.3 million, proceeds from debt of $50.4 million and proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock of $100.0 million offset by payments on long-term debt of $121.2 million in 2019.

Series A Preferred Stock

    As of September 30, 2020, we had 17,483 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock had an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (or approximately $17.5 million in the aggregate).
33


Dividends are paid on the Series A Preferred Stock as, if and when declared by our Board. To extent permitted and only as, if and when declared by the Board, dividends are required to be paid in cash quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 on the stated value at a rate of 10% per annum.

    If not paid in cash, dividends will accrue on the stated value and will increase the stated value on and effective as of the applicable dividend date without any further action by the Board at 12% per annum. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had increased the initial stated value by $3.7 million in the aggregate rather than pay cash dividends.

    So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company are currently outstanding or from and after the occurrence of any non-payment event or default event and until cured or waived, the foregoing rates will increase by 2% per annum.

    The Series A Preferred Stock do not have a scheduled redemption date or maturity date. Subject to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, we may, at any time and from time to time, redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. As a condition to the consummation of any change of control (as described in the certificate governing the Series A Preferred Stock), we are required to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. We are also required to use the net cash proceeds from certain transactions to redeem the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that can be redeemed with such net cash proceeds, except as prohibited by the Third A&R Credit Agreement.

    Based on the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2020 after giving effect to the accrual of dividends, we would be required to pay quarterly cash dividends in the aggregate of $0.6 million on the Series A Preferred Stock. If our business does not generate enough cash to pay future cash dividends, the dividends will accrue at a rate of 12% per annum and increase the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock, which will make cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock more difficult for us to make in the future. We do not presently expect to pay cash dividends, although an actual decision regarding payment of cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be made at the time of the applicable dividend payment based upon availability of capital resources, business conditions, other cash requirements, and other relevant factors.

Series B Preferred Stock

    As of September 30, 2020, we had 199,474 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock had an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (or approximately $199.5 million in the aggregate). Our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends are paid in cash on the Series B Preferred Stock as, if and when declared by our Board. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and only as, if and when declared by the Board, dividends are required to be paid in cash quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Any dividend period for which the Total Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 1.50:1.00, the dividend rate is 13.5% per annum and (ii) with respect to any dividend period for which the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.50:1.00, at a blank check company incorporatedrate of 12% per annum.

    If not paid in cash, dividends will accrue on August 3, 2015the stated value and will increase the stated value on Series B Preferred Stock effective as of the applicable dividend date without any further action by the Board at a rate of 15%. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had increased the initial stated value by $18.3 million in the aggregate rather then pay cash dividends.

    Until the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemed, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries can declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock, except in limited circumstances. We are required to redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on February 15, 2025 at the then stated value plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon through the day prior to such redemption. Subject to compliance with the terms of any credit agreement, we are also required to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Stock as a Delaware corporationcondition to the consummation of certain changes in control (as defined in certificate governing the Series B Preferred Stock), as well as use the net cash proceeds from certain transactions to redeem shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

    Based on the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2020 after giving effect to the accrual of dividends, we would be required to pay quarterly cash dividends in the aggregate of $6.6 million on the Series B Preferred Stock. If our business does not generate enough cash to pay future cash dividends, the dividends will accrue at a rate of 15% per annum and formedincrease the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock, which will make cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock more difficult for us to make in the future. Actual decisions regarding payment of cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will be made at the time of the applicable dividend payment based upon availability of capital resources, business conditions, other cash requirements, and other relevant factors.

Deferred Taxes - COVID-19

The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 emergency. The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key income tax-related provisions of the CARES Act include:

Eliminating the 80% of taxable income limitation by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020

Allowing NOLs originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years

Increasing the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for tax years beginning 1 January 2019 and 2020

Allowing taxpayers with alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the purposeentire amount of effectingthe credit instead of recovering the credit through refunds over a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses,period of years, as originally enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”)

Payroll tax deferral

The new NOL carryforward and interest expense deduction rules are favorable for IEA and will help defer future cash tax liabilities. IEA has filed an election to refund $0.5 million AMT credit in April 2020 that was received in the third quarter.

IEA has also made use of the payroll deferral provision to defer the 6.2% social security tax, which we referis approximately $9.0 million through December 31, 2020. This amount is required to throughout this Form 10-Q as our Business Combination. The Company intendsbe paid at 50% on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

On October 30, 2017, on November 3, 2017,2020, the Company entered into a First Amendment to its Third A&R Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase in the revolving credit commitments previously available by $25.0 million, bringing the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments under the Third A&R Credit Agreement to $75.0 million, upon the terms and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IEA Energy Services LLC (“IEA Services”), Wind Merger Sub I, Inc.

Our only activities from inception toobligations, exclusive of associated interest, recognized under various finance leases for equipment totaling $60.4 million at September 30, 2017 were organizational activities,2020. Net amounts recognized within property, plant and those necessary to prepare for the Offering described below and, since July 2016, activities related to identifying and negotiating an appropriate Business Combination and otherwise seeking to consummate such a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination.

    For detailed discussion and additional information pertaining to our debt instruments, see Note 6. Debt and Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies in the Offering. We anticipate that such non-operating income will be insignificant in view of the low interest rates on risk-free investments. There has been no significant change innotes to our financial position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our auditedcondensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    As is common in our Annualindustry, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with letter of credit obligations, surety and performance and payment bonds entered into in the normal course of business, liabilities associated with deferred compensation plans, liabilities associated with certain indemnification and guarantee arrangements.

    As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was contingently liable under letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility or its old credit facility in the amount of $23.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, related to projects.

    As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding surety bonds on projects of $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, including the bonding line of the acquired ACC Companies and Saiia.

    See Note 6. Debt in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-K. We have incurred increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as10-Q, for due diligence expenses.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 the Company had a net income of $114,565 and for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $15,603. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 the company had a net income of $163,066 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $15,968.

14

The entire activity of the Company through September 30, 2017 was in preparation for the Offering, which was consummated on July 12, 2016, and searching after the consummation of the Offering for a target for our Business Combination. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect our Business Combination with an operating business by July 12, 2018, which is 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In July 2016, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 15,000,000 units ("Units"), with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), and one warrant ("Warrant") to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock, pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-210817). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000 before underwriting discounts and expenses. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 460,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”)discussion pertaining to our sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $4,600,000.

A total of $150,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement have been deposited in the trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) and are not available to us for operations (except amounts to pay taxes). The amounts in the Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Remaining proceeds of approximately $950,000 were deposited in the Company's operating account, of which $613,720 remained available for working capital purposes and to fund the Company’s activities to search for and negotiate a Business Combination as of September 30, 2017. The Company anticipates that its uses of cash for the next twelve months from the filing date of this Form 10-Q will be approximately $575,000 for expenses incurred in the search for target businesses, including the legal, accounting and other third-party expenses attendant to the due diligence investigations, structuring and negotiating of its Business Combination.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including a fee payable to Cantor Fitzgerald for services in connection with the Offering upon the consummation of such combination in an amount equal to $6,000,000, except that 50% of such fee may be paid to Jefferies LLC, in lieu of Cantor Fitzgerald, if the Business Combination is consummated. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account, as well as any other net proceeds not expended, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business' operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders' fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. This belief is based on the fact that, while we have incurred costs in connection with our pursuit of the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement and expect to incur further costs through the consummation, if any, of such transaction, many of those costs will not be payable until the closing of such business combination and then would expect such expenses to be funded out of amounts being released from the Trust Account. However, if our estimate of the costs of consummating such transaction is less than the actual amount necessary to do so or such transaction is not consummated and we are required to pay such costs without access to the funds in the Trust Account, we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. In this event, we could seek such additional capital through loans or additional investments from members of our management team, but such members of our management team are not under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, us. In the event that our Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of our Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of such loans will be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $0.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to warrants in the Private Placement Units. Except as described above, the terms of such loans by our initial stockholders, officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purposeSee Note 1. Business, Basis of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitmentsPresentation and Summary of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than the portion of the underwriting commissions fee payable to Cantor Fitzgerald for its services in connection with the Offering which is due upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to $6,000,000. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated October 2, 2017, Cantor Fitzgerald has agreed to share 50% of such underwriting commission with Jefferies LLCSignificant Accounting Policies and Note 11.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

    See Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and related disclosuresincluded in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Redeemable Common Stock

All of the 15,000,000 shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such common stock under our liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. The initial stockholders and Cantor Fitzgerald have waived their rights to participate in such redemption with respect to their initial shares. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within our control require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although we do not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon closing of our Business Combination.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the securities to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.

Accordingly, at September 30, 2017, 13,950,203 of the 15,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less taxes payable (approximately $10.05 per share at September 30, 2017).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Credit Risk

We were organizedare subject to concentrations of credit risk related to our net receivable position with customers, which includes amounts related to billed and unbilled accounts receivable and costs and earnings in excess of billings (‘‘CIEB’’) on uncompleted contracts net of advanced billings with the same customer. We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, and as a result, we are subject to potential credit risk related to our customers’ ability to pay for services provided. This risk may be heightened if there is depressed economic and financial market conditions. However, we believe the purposeconcentration of effecting a Business Combination.credit risk related to billed and unbilled receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts is limited because of the lack of concentration and the high credit rating of our customers.

Interest Rate Risk

    Borrowings under the new credit facility and certain other borrowings are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. The outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2020 was $179.6 million. A one hundred basis point change in the LIBOR rate would increase or decrease interest expense by $1.8 million. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had not commenced any operations or generated any revenues. All activity through September 30, 2017 relatesno derivative financial instruments to our formation and our Offering and, subsequent to the Public Offering, searching for a target for our Business Combination and negotiating a Business Combination. Subsequent to consummation of the Offering on July 12, 2016, $150,000,000 of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement were deposited into the Trust Account and may be invested solely in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U. S. government obligations. Therefore, we do not believe there is a materialmanage interest rate risk.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this Report,Risk Factors


    At September 30, 2020, there have been no other material changes tofrom the risk factors previously disclosed in ourthe Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017. 12, 2020, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, except as described below.

The Company may disclose changesultimate effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic are unknown and evolving, and could result in negative effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly developing situation around the globe that has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions in the United States and worldwide. In particular, efforts to such factorscontrol the spread of COVID-19 have led to local and worldwide shutdowns and stay-at-home orders, stock price declines, employee layoffs, and governmental programs to support the economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic could affect us in a number of other ways, including but not limited to:

Inabilities to properly staff our construction projects due to quarantines and stay at home orders.

Inabilities of customers to fund project obligations due to liquidity issues.

Termination or disclosedelay in project construction at our customers’ discretion due to financial uncertainties.

Inability of, or delays by, our subcontractors to deliver equipment and services.

Restrictions on our ability to obtain new business if our customer base is financially constrained.

Inability to obtain bonding from our sureties due to tightening of credit markets.

Decrease in demand for civil construction resulting from corresponding decreases in federal, state and local budgets.

Each of the foregoing would cause project delays, force majeure events and project terminations, which could negatively impact our ability to recognize revenues and bill our customers for current costs. In addition, if our customers are unable to finance new projects as a result of their liquidity issues during and in the aftermath of the pandemic, our business outlook will be negatively impacted. A prolonged continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, or a resurgence of the pandemic even if the current pandemic is significantly reduced, could also result in additional factors fromimpacts to our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The ultimate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown at this time. We are continuing to monitor developments but cannot predict at this time to time inwhether COVID-19 will have a material impact on our future filings with the SEC.
