NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 1: | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unauditedcondensedconsolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiariessubsidiary (“Deep Down,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotesnotes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed on March 31, 2017 with the Commission.2018.
Preparation of financial statements in conformity withUS GAAPrequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, then the actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Liquidity
The Company’s primary and potential sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash from operating activities, and proceeds from opportunistic sales of non-core equipment. The Company’s cash as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $2,974 and $2,015, respectively.
The Company’s plans to mitigate its limited liquidity include: closely monitoring capital expenditures planned for the remainder of 2019 and beyond to conserve capital; possibly selling certain non-core equipment; further reducing administrative costs; and pursuing a line of credit to further supplement our operating requirements.
The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of factors that are beyond its control, including general conditions of the offshore energy sector, oil and gas operators’ willingness to spend development capital, and other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. andits directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries.subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard UpdateASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as modified by subsequently issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The guidance introduces a new credit reserving model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“ASU”CECL”) No. 2014-09, “Revenuemodel, which is based on expected losses, and differs significantly from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). This update provides a five-stepthe incurred loss approach used today. The CECL model requires estimating all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These ASUs affect an entity to be applied to all contracts with customers and requires expanded disclosures aboutvarying degrees depending on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue (and the related cash flows) arising from customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments used in applying the revenue model andcredit quality for the assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date for this standard was deferred in July 2015held by the entity, their duration and how the entity applies current US GAAP. These ASUs will now bebecome effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. The standard provides for different application methods during adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact this new pronouncement will have on our financial statements. We are reviewing our existing contracts to identify any that may be impacted by this standard, and evaluating new contracts we are negotiating to ensure compliance with this standard. We have not completed our full evaluation and therefore cannot conclude whether the pronouncement will have a significant impact on our financial statements at this time, but we expect requirements of this standard to significantly enhance our revenue disclosures. We currently anticipate that we will utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption, however, this expectation may change following the completion of our evaluation of the impact of this pronouncement on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update require, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material effect on our results of operations, however we are still evaluating the impact on our financial position.

(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” This update requires that income tax consequences are recognized on an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us on January 1, 2018.2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASUguidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations.” This new ASU clarified the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for us January 1, 2018 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). This update clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. We are currently evaluating the effect of ASU No. 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt ASU 2017-05 in conjunction with ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. This update clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification, as an entity instrument or a liability instrument, of the modified award are the same before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the share-based payment award. The new standard is effective for us January 1, 2018. We do not expect ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated to determine if they will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2: | LEASES: ADOPTION OF ASC 842, “LEASES” |
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and subsequent amendments, which replaced existing lease guidance in US GAAP and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as our date of initial application. Financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. There were no adjustments to opening retained earnings on adoption.
The Company leases certain properties, buildings and equipment under various arrangements that provide the right to use the underlying asset and require lease payments for the lease term. The Company’s lease portfolio consists of operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2023.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients for transition. We elected the package of practical expedients under the transition guidance which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions for lease identification and lease classification on expired or existing contracts and whether initial direct costs previously capitalized would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, which allowed us not to reassess our current accounting treatment for existing agreements on land easements, which are not accounted for as leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and recognition exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting policy elections. For leases with an initial term of twelve months or less a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and instead recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight line basis over the lease term. We elected this short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. We do not separate lease and non-lease components. Some of our agreements contain variable payment provisions that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date, and are therefore not included in our future minimum lease payments. These variable lease agreements include usage-based payments for equipment under service contracts and other properties.
Our long-term lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants. Our equipment leases have remaining terms of between 1 year and 3 years, and property leases have remaining terms of between 1 year and 5 years. Some of these leases may include options to extend the leases, and some may include options to terminate the leases within 30 days. When we are not reasonably certain to exercise these options, the options are not considered in determining the lease term, and associated payments are excluded from future minimum lease payments.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for as a single lease component. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and a portion is recorded in cost of sales, and the remainder is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The accounting for some of our leases may require significant judgement, which includes determining whether a contract contains a lease, determining the incremental borrowing rate to utilize in our net present value calculation of lease payments for lease agreements which do not provide an implicit rate and assessing the likelihood of renewal or termination options.

NOTE 3: | REVENUES: ADOPTION OF ASC 606, “REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS” |
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. There was no significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position upon the adoption of ASC 606. We did not record any adjustments to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 because the Company’s revenue recognition methodologies for both fixed price contracts (over time using cost to cost as an input measure of performance) and for service contracts (over time as services are performed) do not materially change by the adoption of the new standard.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for our customer contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. For most of our fixed price contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation.
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue sources of fixed price and service contracts. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

Service Contracts | 5,159 | 4,877 | ||||||
Total | $ | 11,568 | $ | 7,810 |
Fixed price contracts
For fixed price contracts, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Additionally, in other fixed price contracts, the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit in connection with delivery of products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company.
8 |
Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
We have a company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly estimate at completion process in which management reviews the progress and execution of our performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned on a performance obligation related to fixed price contracts, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is estimated.
Service Contracts
We recognize revenue for service contracts measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that best depicts the transfer of goods or services to the customer. The control over services is transferred over time when the services are rendered to the customer on a daily basis. Specifically, we recognize revenue as the services are provided as we have the right to invoice the customer for the services performed. Services are billed and are generally required to be paid on a monthly basis. Payment terms for services are usually 30 days from invoice receipt, but during the recent downturn in the industry, some of our customers have begun instituting new payment terms of up to 60 days from invoice receipt.
Contract balances
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues are recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis but cannot be invoiced under the terms of the contract. Such amounts are invoiced upon completion of contractual milestones. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts arise when milestone billings are permissible under the contract, but the related costs have not yet been incurred. All contract costs are recognized currently on jobs formally approved by the customer and contracts are not shown as complete until virtually all anticipated costs have been incurred and the risk of loss has passed to the customer.
Assets related to costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, as well as liabilities related to billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, have been classified as current. The contract cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year, thus complete collection of amounts related to these contracts may extend beyond one year, though such long-term contracts include contractual milestone billings as discussed above. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no contracts whose term extended beyond one year.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders and also any remaining performance obligations for any sales arrangements that had not fully satisfied the criteria to be considered a contract with a customer pursuant to the requirements of ASC 606.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of our fixed price contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Many of our services contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
Additionally, our payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. We have, therefore, utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18 exempting the Company from adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component given that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Further, in many of our service contracts we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date (for example, a service contract in which we bill a fixed amount for each hour of service provided). For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows us to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice.
Accordingly, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Awards of common stock and options to purchase common stock granted under the Plan have vesting periods of three years and options are exercisable for two years once fully vested. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is based on the fair value at the date of grant, and is recognized over the requisite expected service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Under the Plan, the total number of options permitted is 15 percent of issued and outstanding common shares.

The estimated annual effective income tax rate may vary from the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent items relative to our pre-tax income, as well as by any valuation allowance recorded. We employ an asset and liability approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis of those assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although our future projections indicate that we may be able to realize some of these deferred tax assets, due to the degree of uncertainty of these projections, atSeptemberAt June 30,, 2017 2019 and December 31, 20162018 management has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
NOTE | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Litigation
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. AsWe expense or accrue legal costs as we incur them. A summary of the date of this Report, we were not involved in anyour material legal proceedings.proceedings is as follows:
On August 6, 2018, GE Oil and Gas UK Ltd (“GE”) requested that the Company mediate a dispute between the parties in the ICC International Centre for ADR. The dispute involves alleged delays and defects in products manufactured by the Company for GE dating back to 2013. Mediation took place on November 28, 2018, but no resolution was reached. The original amount in dispute was $2,630, but as of GE’s latest filing with the ICC, the amount in dispute has been reduced to $2,252. The parties are in the process of filing preliminary submissions, and the arbitration is currently set for April 2020. The Company disputes GE’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations. At this point in the legal process, we do not believe a loss to us is probable, therefore we have not recorded a liability related to this matter.
In November 2011, the Company delivered equipment to Aker Solutions, Inc. (“Aker”), but Aker declined to pay the final invoice in the aggregate amount of $270 alleging some warranty items needed to be repaired. The Company made repairs, but Aker continued to claim further work was required. The Company repeatedly attempted to collect on the receivable, and ultimately filed suit on November 16, 2012, in the Harris County District Court. Aker subsequently filed a counter-claim on March 20, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $1,000, for reimbursement of insurance payments allegedly made for repairs. Trial is scheduled for November 2019. At this point in the legal process, we do not believe a loss to us is probable, therefore we have not recorded a liability related to this matter.
Operating Leases
We lease certain offices, facilities, equipment and vehicles under non-cancellable operating and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2023.
NOTE | EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (warrants, nonvested stock awards and stock options) outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock and all nonvested stock awards vest.
At September
For the three and six months ended June 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018 there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding, but theythat were not taken into considerationincluded in calculatingthe computation of diluted EPSearnings per share because either there were losses, so including themno stock options outstanding or their effect would have beenbe anti-dilutive.

Industry and Executive Outlook
Three years into the downturn in oil prices, the industry has largely come to termsWe are pleased with the lower prices,increase in our revenues and adjusted accordingly. So much so, thatoperating profitability for the recent slight uptickfirst half of 2019, compared to the same period in prices2018. This is giving rise to optimism about the future. However, even without increases in prices, oil companies have modified their strategies to manage their operations with the lower prices, with projects being executed at breakeven prices as low as $50 a barrel.
One key strategy being employed across the industry is the increased use of strategic partnerships. Whether betweendespite oil and gas operators and their suppliers, or between suppliers who serve different steps alongcontinuing to focus on reduced project execution costs. While we do face some pricing pressure from service providers willing to offer solutions at significantly reduced prices, we view the value chain, these partnerships are realizing increased value due to the alignment of incentives, while spreadingfocus on streamlined project risks.execution as an opportunity for us.
WhileOil and gas operators are increasingly choosing to invest in subsea tieback projects, which are projects where new developments are connected to existing infrastructure, rather than on projects with entirely new subsea infrastructure. Given our experience working with equipment manufactured by different companies, we are disheartened by delaysenable our customers to evaluate different alternatives for their expansions, in some key projectscases providing hybrid solutions using equipment from different manufacturers.
Our international expansion efforts continue to bear fruit. We recently announced our first contract with Shell in Trinidad and Tobago, and are involved in ongoing discussions on further opportunities in the region. We continue to pursue opportunities in West Africa, South East Asia and other emerging markets, and are encouraged by their local content requirements.
In July 2018, we expectannounced that our Board of Directors had initiated a review of our strategic alternatives to be workingmaximize shareholder value, including a potential sale of the Company. During the review process, we engaged with a wide range of different parties, and received valuable feedback. As a result of the feedback we received, it was determined that it was in our best interest to reconstitute our Board of Directors, conclude the process, and renew our focus on our core business and on improving our profitability.
With a committed backlog of $10 million, a strong balance sheet, and the resulting disappointing results,dedication of our employees, we are cautiously optimistic that partnerships we are pursuing will provide material benefitsremain confident in our ability to continue being a provider of choice for us in 2018 and beyond, evenour customers, as we continue to engage with our existing and new customers on their projects. We are especially looking to take advantage of such partnerships to pursue opportunities in international markets, where there is an increase in the focus on local content regulations, in order to enhance local capacity.
We are continuing to engage in more discussions with different customers on what is commonly referred to as brownfield work, which is where operators seek to derive further benefit from their existing infrastructure, rather than develop new fields. We continue to view this as a growth opportunity for us, especially as a mitigation for continued delays in new projects, and are making concerted efforts to enhance our market position in this area.
Our balance sheet continues to be strong, we continue to evaluate opportunities to optimize our cost structure, and we are continuing to engage with our customers as they make plans for their projects in 2018 and beyond. Through these efforts we remain strongly committed to creating the mostmaximize value for our customers, shareholders and employees.shareholders.

However, despite the increased gross profit, there was a decrease in gross profit percentage respectively, was due to lower revenuesa higher proportion of service projects in the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018 period, compared to the 2019 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2,264,$2,007, or 6538 percent of revenues, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 compared to $2,210,$1,745, or 2443 percent of revenues, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The $54 increasedecrease in 2017 resultedSG&A expense as a percent of revenues was due primarily from labor costs directed to SG&A activities due to lower manufacturing and/or service activities.
Other income (expense). During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment of $559 related to the sale of one of our ROVs.There was no gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipmenthigher revenues during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Modified EBITDA. Our management evaluates our performance based on a non-GAAPnon-US GAAP measure which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common shareholders before net interest expense,income, income taxes, non-cash share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or loss of joint venture, non-cash impairments, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items and one-time charges (“Modified EBITDA”). This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing or financing activities, or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The amounts included in the Modified EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We believe Modified EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. It helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest); asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization); and actions that do not affect liquidity (share-based compensation expense equityfrom our operating results); and it helps investors identify items that are within our operational control. Depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase or acquisition in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.

From 2008 through
During the six months ended June 30, 2016,2019 we maintainedused $621 to fund our operating and financing activities. We used $397 in our operating activities, primarily due to a credit facility (the “Facility”) with Whitney Bank. In March 2016, we paid all borrowings under the Facility with proceeds received from the sale$495 decrease in account payable, and an increase of $760 in accounts receivable offset by our net income. We also used $224 in financing activities, primarily for repurchases of our Channelview location.Followingoutstanding stock. We generated $1,580 from our investing activities, primarily due to receipt of $510 in repayments on a note receivable, and maturity of our $1,035 certificate of deposit.
During the expiration of the Facility onsix months ended June 30, 2016, we no longer have any credit facilities available2018, our trade accounts receivable increased by $842, impacting our cash position which declined by $1,516. This increase in trade accounts receivable reflected efforts by some of our larger customers to us.
Aslengthen vendor payment terms. The decline in cash was also a result of a $667 decrease in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Through a combination of our current working capital of $6,549, cash we expectexpected to generatebe generated from operations, potential opportunistic sales of property, plant and equipment in the future and reduction in our capital budget, we believe we will have adequate liquidity to meet our future operating requirements for the foreseeable future.requirements.
We also continue to engage in discussions with different financial institutions, in the event that we would need credit facilities to further supplement our operating requirements. There can be no assurance that we could obtain credit facilities, if needed.
Inflation and Seasonality
We do not believe that our operations are significantly impacted by inflation. Our business is not significantly seasonal in nature.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates used in our financial statements relate to revenue recognition where we use percentage-ofmeasure progress towards completion accountingon cost-to-cost basis on our large fixed-price contracts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. These estimates require judgments, which we base on historical experience and on various other assumptions, as well as specific circumstances. Estimates may change as new events occur, additional information becomes available or operating environments change.
Refer to Part II. Item 2.7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Except as set forth in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has not yet determined whether recently issued accounting standards, which are not yet effective, will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

From time to time, we aremay be involved in legal proceedings arising fromin the normal course of business. AsWe expense or accrue legal costs as we incur them. A summary of the date of this Report, we were not involved in anyour material legal proceedings.proceedings is as follows:
On August 6, 2018, GE Oil and Gas UK Ltd (“GE”) requested that the Company mediate a dispute between the parties in the ICC International Centre for ADR. The dispute involves alleged delays and defects in products manufactured by the Company for GE dating back to 2013. Mediation took place on November 28, 2018, but no resolution was reached. The original amount in dispute was $2,630,000, but as of GE’s latest filing with the ICC, the amount in dispute has been reduced to $2,252,000. The parties are in the process of filing preliminary submissions, and the arbitration date is currently set for April 2020.

In November 2011, the Company delivered equipment to Aker Solutions, Inc. (“Aker”), but Aker declined to pay the final invoice in the aggregate amount of $270,000 alleging some warranty items needed to be repaired. The Company made repairs, but Aker continued to claim further work was required. The Company repeatedly attempted to collect on the receivable, and ultimately filed suit on November 16, 2012, in the Harris County District Court. Aker subsequently filed a counter-claim on March 20, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000, for reimbursement of insurance payments allegedly made for repairs. Trial is scheduled for November 2019. At this point in the legal process, we do not believe a loss to us is probable, therefore we have not recorded a liability related to this matter.
