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.2019.

 

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 cash on hand was $3,033 and working capital was $3,965 as of March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, cash on hand and working capital was $3,523 and $4,939, respectively. The Company does not have a credit facility in place and depends on cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and the potential opportunistic sales of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) to meet its liquidity needs.

Given the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19, the Company cannot predict with certainty the overall impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the challenges presented by the current macro environment, including workforce reductions, wage reductions, rent abatement, and limiting capital expenditures and R&D efforts to only critical items. The Company continues to seek further cost reduction opportunities to preserve liquidity.

Additionally, the Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. On April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $1,111, which will be used to finance payroll, rent, and utilities over the balance of the second quarter of 2020. The loan principal and related interest accrued may be forgivable, partially or in full, if certain conditions are met.

The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, current working capital, and potential opportunistic sales of PP&E in addition to pursuing a disciplined approach to making capital investments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
NOTE 2:

LEASES

 

In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard UpdateASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”ASC Topic 842”). This update providesUnder this guidance, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customerslease liability and requires expanded disclosures about 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 and the assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date for this standard was deferred in July 2015 and will now be 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)”right-of-use (“ASU 2016-02”ROU”). The amendments in this update require, among other things, that lessees recognize the following asset for all leases, (with the exceptionexcept for short-term leases with terms of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) atwelve months or less.

Practical Expedients

ASC Topic 842 provides for certain practical expedients when adopting the guidance. The Company elected the package of practical expedients allowing the Company, for all leases that commenced prior to the adoption date, to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases or initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

The Company utilizes the land easements practical expedient allowing the Company to not assess whether any expired or existing land easements are, or contain, leases if they were not previously accounted for as leases under the existing leasing guidance. Instead, the Company will continue to apply a modified retrospective transition approachits existing accounting policies to historical land easements. The Company elects to apply the short-term lease exception; therefore, the Company will not record an ROU asset or corresponding lease liability for leases existing at,with an initial term of twelve months or entered into after,less that are not reasonably certain of being renewed and instead will recognize a single lease cost allocated over the beginninglease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for both as a single lease component for all asset classes.

The Company elects to not capitalize any lease in which the estimated value of the earliest comparative period presentedunderlying asset at the commencement date is less than the Company’s capitalization threshold. A lease would need to qualify for the low value exception based on various criteria.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the 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 the 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 financial statements.remainder is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amendments are effectiveaccounting for us beginning January 1, 2019. Wesome of our leases may require significant judgment, 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 anticipateprovide an implicit rate and assessing the adoptionlikelihood of ASU 2016-02 willrenewal or termination options.

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The componentsfollowing table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by fixed price and service contracts. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues.

  Three Months Ended
  March 31,
  2020 2019
  (In thousands)
Fixed Price Contracts $1,744  $3,531 
Service Contracts  1,861   2,769 
Total $3,605  $6,300 

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. In our fixed price contracts, the customer either controls the work in process or we deliver products with no alternative use to the Company and have rights to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit as evidenced by contractual termination clauses.

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.

8

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 paid on a monthly basis. Payment terms for services are usually 30 days from invoice receipt.

Contract balances

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues are recorded based on the extent of progress towards completion 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 summarized below: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.

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, potential orders, and 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.

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.

NOTE 7:INCOME TAXES

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to interim period operations. 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, atSeptember 30, 2017At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20162019, management has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

NOTE 8:COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Employment Agreements

The Company’s CEO and COO (the “Executives”) are employed under employment agreements containing severance provisions. In the event of termination of the Executives’ employment for any reason, the Executive will be entitled to receive all accrued, unpaid salary and vacation time through the date of termination and all benefits to which the Executives are entitled or vested under the terms of all employee benefit and compensation plans, agreements and arrangements in which the Executives are participants as of the date of termination.

12

In addition, subject to executing a general release in favor of the Company, the Executive will be entitled to receive certain severance payments in the event of termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company “other than for cause” or by the Executive with “good reason.” These severance payments include: (i) a lump sum in cash equal to one to two times the Executive’s annual base salary; (ii) a lump sum in cash equal to one to two times the average annual bonus paid to the Executive for the prior two full fiscal years preceding the date of termination; (iii) a lump sum in cash equal to a pro rata portion of the annual bonus payable for the period in which the date of termination occurs based on the actual performance under the Company’s annual incentive bonus arrangement, but no less than fifty percent of Executive’s annual base salary; and (iv) if the Executive’s termination occurs prior to the date that is twelve months following a change of control, then each and every share option, restricted share award and other equity-based award that is outstanding and held by the Executive shall immediately vest and become exercisable.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company eliminated the position of COO and relieved the COO of his duties pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, and placed him on garden leave for the remainder of his employment through May 31, 2020. In addition to payment of accrued and unpaid salary, vacation time, and other benefits referred to above, and subject to execution of a release of claims by the COO, the Company is required to pay him one time his current annual base salary of $245,000, payable over 12 months.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, we are involved inthe Company is party to various legal proceedings arising fromin the normalordinary course of business. AsThe Company expenses or accrues legal costs as incurred. A summary of the date of this Report, we were not involved in anyCompany’s 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 (“ICC”). The dispute involved alleged delays and defects in products manufactured by the Company for GE dating back to 2013. The Company disputed GE’s allegations and vigorously defended itself against these allegations. Mediation took place on November 28, 2018 but was not resolved. On February 22, 2019, GE initiated arbitration proceedings with the ICC. The total amount in dispute was originally $2,630 but was later reduced to $2,252. On February 26, 2020, the parties agreed in principle to settle the dispute, and the parties are working toward finalizing the terms of a definitive settlement agreement. The Company therefore accrued a liability related to this matter in the amount of $750 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 counterclaim on March 20, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $1,000 for reimbursement of insurance payments allegedly made for repairs. The parties have not reached a resolution on this matter. At this point, it is not clear as to whether an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss if the outcome should be unfavorable.

 

Operating Leases

We lease certain offices, facilities, equipment and vehicles under non-cancellable operating and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2023.

NOTE 9: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 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016, there2019, all such securities were potentially dilutive securities outstanding, but they were not taken into consideration in calculating diluted EPS because there were losses, so including them would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following discussion and analysis providesprovide information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 20172019, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) in Part I.

General

 

We areDeep Down is an oilfield product and services company specializing in complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil production distribution system support services servingand subsea distribution products used between the worldwide offshore explorationproduction facility and production industry.the wellhead. Our core services and technological solutions include distribution system installation support and engineering services, umbilical terminations, loose-tube steel flying leads, buoyancy products and services, remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) and toolings. Werelated services.  Additionally, our highly experienced, specialized service teams can support subsea engineering, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects through specialized, highly experiencedlocated anywhere in the world.  

Industry and Executive Outlook

The dual challenges of the global coronavirus pandemic and the oil price crash continue to impact our business and that of our customers. Our service teamsbusiness is particularly dependent on our personnel being able to travel domestically and engineered technological solutions.internationally, and travel restrictions imposed by various governments partially contributed to reduced revenues during the first quarter of 2020.

While revenues of $3,605 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 declined by $2,695 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019, revenues for the first quarter of 2020 increased by $651 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The year-over-year decline in revenues was primarily driven by a lower proportion of fixed-price contract activity during the first quarter of 2020.

We could potentially experience additional headwinds as our customers continue to adjust their operations based on the current oil price environment. This includes customers delaying new purchase orders, extending timelines for existing purchase orders, and delaying the payment of outstanding invoices. To help navigate these headwinds, the Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, and on April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $1,111, which will be used to finance payroll, rent, and utilities over the balance of the second quarter of 2020. The loan principal and related interest accrued may be forgivable, partially or in full, if certain conditions are met.

 

In Part I. Item 2. “Management’s DiscussionAugust of 2019, we announced a change in leadership and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” all dollar and share amounts aresubsequently made some additions to our management team to focus on growth. However, considering recent developments in thousands of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.

Industry and Executive Outlook

Three years into the downturn in oil prices, the industry has largely come to terms with the lower prices, and adjusted accordingly. So much so, that the recent slight uptick in prices 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 between oil and gas operatorsindustry, the Company adjusted its strategy to prepare for a longer cycle of lower oil prices while maintaining adequate support for existing projects. This strategy includes maintaining a disciplined capital structure, workforce reductions, wage reductions, rent abatement, and their suppliers, or between suppliers who serve different steps along the value chain, these partnerships are realizing increased value duelimiting capital expenditures and R&D efforts to only critical items. The Company continues to seek further cost reduction opportunities to preserve liquidity.

As we look to the alignmentfuture, we currently project the service side of incentives, while spreading project risks.

Whileour business to recover first as we expect our customers to be focused on extending the life of existing assets, rather than sanctioning new projects. Therefore, we are disheartened by delaysdetermined to further position ourselves as the service provider of choice in some key projects wesuch an environment. We expect to be workingexecute this strategy while remaining laser-focused on managing our cash flows and the resulting disappointing results, we are cautiously optimistic that partnerships we are pursuing will provide material benefits for us in 2018 and beyond, even 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 mostmaximizing value for our customers, shareholders and employees.shareholders.

Our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues compared to $3,297, or 36 percent of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $2,263 decrease in gross profit, or 6 percent decrease in gross profit percentage respectively, wasincreased primarily due to the lower revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2017.absorption of fixed costs reported under cost of sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2,264,$1,693, or 6547 percent of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 compared to $2,210,$1,995, or 2432 percent of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019. The $54$302, or 15 percent, decrease in SG&A is a result of cost reduction initiatives implemented by the Company as a result of a renewed focus on the Company’s core business. The increase in 2017 resulted primarily from labor costs directed to SG&A activitiesexpense as a percentage of revenues was 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 equipmentrevenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

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, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or loss of joint venture, non-cash impairments, depreciation and amortization,non-cash gains or losses on the sale of PP&E, 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 equity in net income or loss of joint venture) from 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.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are involved inthe Company is party to various legal proceedings arising fromin the normalordinary course of business. AsA summary of the date of this Report, we were not involved in anyCompany’s 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 (“ICC”). The dispute involved alleged delays and defects in products manufactured by the Company for GE dating back to 2013. The Company disputed GE’s allegations and vigorously defended itself against these allegations. Mediation took place on November 28, 2018 but was not resolved. On February 22, 2019, GE initiated arbitration proceedings with the ICC. The total amount in dispute was originally $2,630,000 but was later reduced to $2,252,000. On February 26, 2020, the parties agreed in principle to settle the dispute, and the parties are working toward finalizing the terms of a definitive settlement agreement. The Company therefore accrued a liability related to this matter in the amount of $750,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 counterclaim on March 20, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for reimbursement of insurance payments allegedly made for repairs. The parties have not reached a resolution on this matter. At this point, it is not clear as to whether an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss if the outcome should be unfavorable.
