NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (“Deep ~~Down,” “we,”~~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 notes 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, 2019.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires 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~~$4,045 and working capital was ~~$3,965~~$4,497 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 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 generally 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 Company cannot predict with certainty the long-term impact of the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic ~~activity~~disruption 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~~took 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~~research and development efforts to only critical items. The Company continues to seek further cost reduction opportunities to preserve liquidity.

~~Additionally,~~As a result of the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19, the Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection ~~Program. On~~Program, and on April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan (“PPP loan”) in the amount of $1,111, which ~~will be~~was used to finance payroll ~~rent, and utilities over the balance of~~during the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2020. The PPP loan ~~principal~~is evidenced by a promissory note, dated to be effective as of April 27, 2020, between the Company and ~~related~~the lender. The promissory note matures on April 27, 2022 and bears interest ~~accrued may~~at a fixed rate of 1.00 percent per annum, payable in 18 monthly payments commencing on November 27, 2020.
Subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s PPP loan, the U.S. Treasury and SBA refined its payment deferral guidance whereas payments for PPP loans are to be ~~forgivable, partially~~deferred for at least ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period. Additionally, if the loan forgiveness application is submitted within ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period, payments will be further deferred until such loan forgiveness application is processed by the SBA. The Company applied for forgiveness of its PPP loan in its entirety in October 2020, which falls within ten months after the end of the Company’s loan forgiveness covered period. The Company has not received guidance from its lender regarding the timing or ~~in full, if certain conditions are met.~~ultimate outcome of its forgiveness application. Therefore, due to the uncertain timing of payments, the Company did not carry a portion of its PPP loan balance as a current liability at September 30, 2020.
5

The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements arising in the normal course of business for the next twelve months through a combination of current 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. ~~All~~Any intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Segments

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and 2019, wethe Company had one operating and reporting segment, Deep Down Delaware.

NOTE 2:
LEASES

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). Under this guidance, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for all leases, except for short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease and will initially be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The ROU asset represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs.
~~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 its 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 with an initial term of twelve months or less that are not reasonably certain of being renewed and instead will recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease 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 underlying 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 remainder is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The accounting for some ~~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 provide an implicit rate, and assessing the likelihood of renewal or termination options.

~~As of March 31, 2020, we do not have any finance lease assets or liabilities, nor do we have any subleases.~~

NOTE 3: REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

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~~even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple ~~units).~~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.

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.~~receipt but have increased to 45 days during the recent industry downturn.

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 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.

9
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,~~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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no contracts with terms that extended beyond one year.

The contract asset and liability balances at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 ~~consisted~~are primarily ofassociated with revenue related to fixed-price projects.

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.

10
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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
As a result of unfavorable market conditions primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and developments in global oil markets, which triggered historically low crude oil prices and decreases in our customers’ capital budgets, the Company determined the carrying amount of certain idle long-lived assets exceeded their respective expected cash flows and therefore recorded an impairment charge of $4,490 related to idle fixed assets during the second quarter of 2020.
The Company owns, and routinely invests in, a portfolio of long-lived assets which are used both internally for product manufacturing and externally to perform services in the field. We evaluate for impairment our property and equipment that is held and used whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed based on estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. Estimating future net cash flows requires us to make assumptions and estimates including, but not limited to, cash flows associated with future use and eventual disposal of the asset group and determination of the primary asset of the group. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. No impairment was recorded related to the long-lived assets held and used during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

NOTE 5: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and additional paid in capital in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. On May 2, 2017, the Company granted 30 shares of restricted stock to the current Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”). These shares have a fair value grant price of $1.15 per share, based on the closing price of our common stock on that day. These shares vest over three years in equal tranches on the anniversary date of the grant subject to continued service to the Company.

These costs are expected to be recognized as ~~expense~~expenses over a weighted-average period of ~~1.81~~0.48 years.
The number of unvested of stock options was 238 and 225 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The unamortized estimated fair value of unvested stock options was $107 and $91 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 6: TREASURY STOCK

On December 23, 2019, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program was funded from cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities. The Board separately authorized the repurchase of additional shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, in a privately negotiated transaction. ~~During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 744 shares of common stock were purchased for an aggregate amount of $524.~~ As of March 31, 2020, the repurchase program ~~has~~had been exhausted.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 3 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $0.43 per share totaling $1 in a privately negotiated transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 746 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $0.70 per share totaling $525 in privately negotiated transactions.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received 300 shares of common stock from our former CEO in exchange for certain previously impaired Company equipment ($0 carrying value at the time of exchange). No value was recorded to treasury stock because the assets had approximately $0 fair value at the time of the exchange. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased 588 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $0.37 per share totaling $218.

Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method.

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. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Employment Agreements

The ~~Company’s CEO~~Company entered into employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer and ~~COO~~former Chief Operating Officer (the “Executives”) ~~are employed under employment agreements containing~~on September 18, 2019 and September 23, 2019, respectively, which contained severance provisions. In the event of termination of the Executives’ employment for any reason, the ~~Executive will~~Executives would 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~~Executives would 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,~~On April 1, 2020, the Company eliminated the position of ~~COO~~Chief Operating Officer (“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.~~agreement. 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~~the former COO one time his ~~current~~contractual annual base salary of ~~$245,000,~~$245, payable over 12 months. This amount is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company expenses or accrues legal costs as ~~incurred. A summary~~incurred and is involved in only one material legal proceeding as of the ~~Company’s material legal 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 termsdate 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.~~Report.

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.
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. During the second quarter of 2020, the parties finalized the terms of a definitive settlement agreement which is now final and binding. Per the terms of the settlement, the Company shall pay GE $750 in total, which shall be paid on a monthly basis through February 2022. The Company accrued a liability related to this matter in the amount of $750 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and 2019, all such securities were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 15, 2019, Mr. Ronald E. Smith, the Company's Founder, resigned as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, effective as of August 31, 2019. In connection with Mr. Smith's resignation, the Company and Mr. Smith entered into a Transition Agreement, effective as of September 1, 2019 (the “Transition Agreement”). The Transition Agreement provides for Mr. Smith to serve as an independent consultant to the Company from September 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Smith $15 per month, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, in exchange for his future services. The Company therefore recorded consulting expenses related to the Transition Agreement totaling $45 and $135 for the ~~quarter~~three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2020.~~September 30, 2020, respectively.

In addition to the other payments provided for under the Transition Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Mr. Smith 1.5% of the net sale or lease value of two carousels owned by Company, if such sale or lease occurs prior to December 31, 2021, unless those assets are sold or leased in conjunction with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Deep Down, in which case no commission is due.

As part of the Transition Agreement, Mr. Smith is bound by certain non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions, and a non-compete and non-hire agreement.

NOTE 11. ~~SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION’S PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN
~~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.~~

As a result of the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19, the Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program, and on April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan (“PPP loan”) in the amount of $1,111, which ~~will be~~was used to finance payroll ~~rent, and utilities over the balance of~~during the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2020. The PPP loan ~~principal~~is evidenced by a promissory note, dated to be effective as of April 27, 2020, between the Company and ~~related~~the lender. The promissory note matures on April 27, 2022 and bears interest ~~accrued may be forgivable, partially or~~at a fixed rate of 1.00 percent per annum, payable in ~~full, if certain conditions are met.~~18 monthly payments commencing on November 27, 2020.

~~Also, on April 6,~~Subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s PPP loan, the U.S. Treasury and SBA refined its payment deferral guidance whereas payments for PPP loans are to be deferred for at least ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period. Additionally, if the loan forgiveness application is submitted within ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period, payments will be further deferred until such loan forgiveness application is processed by the SBA. The Company applied for forgiveness of its PPP loan in its entirety in October 2020, which falls within ten months after the end of the Company’s loan forgiveness covered period. The Company has not received guidance from its lender regarding the timing or ultimate outcome of its forgiveness application. Therefore, due to the uncertain timing of payments, the Company ~~signed~~did not carry a ~~Letter~~portion of Understanding for Landlord to Temporarily and Partially Abate Rent (the “Abatement Letter”) provided by the Company’s landlord of our corporate office and facility. According to the Abatement Letter, our landlord agreed to reduce rent payments overits PPP loan balance as a four-month period beginning with the April 2020 payment. Over this four-month period, the Company’s rent will be lowered by a total of $253. In exchange for the rent abatement, the Company agreed to extend the lease by two months.current liability at September 30, 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis provide information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of ~~our~~Deep Down’s results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with ~~our~~the Company’s audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in ~~our~~the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and ~~our~~which is available on the SEC’s website, and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) in Part I. Item 1. “Financial ~~Statements,~~Statements.” ~~and is available on the SEC’s website. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except backlog amount.~~

General

Deep Down is an oilfield product and services company specializing in complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater support services and subsea distribution products used between the production facility and the wellhead. Our core services and technological solutions include distribution system installation support and engineering services, umbilical terminations, loose-tube steel flying leads, and related services. Additionally, our highly experienced, specialized service teams can support subsea engineering, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects located anywhere in the world.

Industry and Executive Outlook

The ~~dual~~ challenges ofpresented by the global ~~coronavirus~~COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting sharp decline in oil ~~price crash~~prices continue to ~~impact~~disrupt our business and that of our customers. ~~Our service business is particularly dependent on our personnel being able to travel domestically and internationally, and travel restrictions imposed~~Although we have seen some relaxation in the actions taken by various governments ~~partially contributed~~and companies to ~~reduced revenues during~~prevent the ~~first quarter~~spread of ~~2020.~~
~~While revenues of $3,605~~COVID-19, such actions initially caused the demand for ~~the quarter ended March 31, 2020 declined by $2,695 compared~~oil and gas 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~~at unprecedented rates and prompted our customers ~~continue~~ to ~~adjust~~scale back their ~~operations based~~operations. The impact of these actions on ~~the current oil price environment. This~~our business 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~~We expect that customer activity will recover when oil prices further stabilize and there is a ~~loan under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, and on April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan~~recovery in the ~~amount of $1,111, which will be used to finance payroll, rent,~~global demand for oil and ~~utilities over the balance of the second quarter of 2020.

In ~~August of 2019,~~response to these new challenges, we ~~announced a change in leadership and subsequently made some additions to~~successfully adjusted our ~~management team to focus on growth. However, considering recent developments in the oil and gas industry, the Company adjusted its~~ strategy to ~~prepare for a longer~~operate in this cycle of lower oil ~~prices while maintaining adequate support for existing projects. This strategy includes maintaining a disciplined capital structure,~~prices. Earlier this year, we implemented workforce reductions, wage reductions, rent abatement, and ~~limiting~~limited capital expenditures and R&D efforts to only critical items. ~~The Company continues~~We were not able to ~~seek further cost reduction opportunities~~accomplish this without our team of highly capable individuals who were able to ~~preserve liquidity.~~respond quickly to the global pandemic pressures; however, there is much more work to do.

AsDuring the second quarter of 2020, the Company applied for and received a loan in the amount of $1,111 under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. The loan proceeds were used to finance payroll during the second and third quarters of 2020. The Company applied for forgiveness of its PPP loan in its entirety in October 2020, but the Company has not received guidance from its lender regarding the timing or ultimate outcome of its forgiveness application.
While increasing revenue remains our top priority, generating free cash flow and preservation of liquidity remains a high priority in the current environment. We are keenly focused on the levers within our control, and we ~~look~~are seeing an increase in requests for short-cycle service work, an area where we have a proven track record. We, therefore, see this as an area of further growth for the Company. We also believe customers on the other side of the downturn will be heavily focused on efficiency and shorter lead times, without sacrificing quality and safety, and are confident our streamlined operations and renewed focus on our cost drivers will enable us to be a solid choice for our customers.
We are encouraged by the future ~~we currently project~~potential of the ~~service side of our business~~Company and look forward to ~~recover first as we expect our customers~~continuing to be ~~focused on extending the life of existing assets, rather than sanctioning new projects. Therefore, we are determined to further position ourselves as the~~a service provider of choice ~~in such~~for our customers, an ~~environment. We expect to execute this strategy while remaining laser-focused on managing~~employer of choice for our ~~cash flows~~current and ~~maximizing~~future employees, and a good value for ~~our~~ shareholders.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 were ~~$3,605~~$3,136 compared to revenues of ~~$6,300~~$4,397 for the three months ended ~~March~~September 30, 2019. The ~~$2,695,~~$1,261, or 4329 percent, decrease from the same period in 2019 was primarily the result of ~~less fixed-price~~fewer projects in process, COVID-19 related travel restrictions, and the recent developments in the global oil markets.

~~Cost of Sales.~~Gross profit. ~~Cost of sales decreased by $1,560, or 39 percent, to $2,482~~Gross profit for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 ~~from $4,042~~was $1,168, or 37 percent of revenues, compared to $1,845, or 42 percent of revenues, for the ~~same period in~~three months ended September 30, 2019. The 5 percent decrease in ~~cost of sales~~gross profit percentage was ~~primarily driven by the decrease in revenues. Our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased~~ primarily due to a lower proportion of service revenues resulting from COVID-19 disruptions and delays during the ~~lower absorption of fixed costs reported under cost of sales.~~three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were ~~$1,693,~~$1,351, or 4743 percent of revenues, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 compared to ~~$1,995,~~$2,136, or 3249 percent of revenues, for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2019.~~September 30, 2019, which included $349 in one-time expenses related to the resignation of the Company’s founder. Excluding the one-time charges, SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,787, or 41% of revenues. The ~~$302, or 15 percent,~~$436 decrease in regular 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 SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues~~expenses was due to lower ~~revenues~~payroll costs, lower legal costs, and continuous efforts to reduce operating expenses during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

Modified EBITDA. Our management evaluates our performance based on a non-US GAAP measure which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common shareholders before net interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation expense, non-cash impairments, 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 a useful ~~to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used to~~ measure of 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~~expense) from our operating ~~results; and~~results. Additionally, 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.

The following is a reconciliation of net ~~income (loss)~~loss to Modified EBITDA ~~(loss)~~ for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Modified EBITDA $ 30 $ 408

The ~~$923~~$378 decrease in Modified EBITDA was primarily due ~~primarily~~ to decreased revenues as a result of the ~~decrease~~decline in ~~revenues and~~offshore activity triggered by the ~~resulting decrease in gross profit during~~COVID-19 pandemic for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $9,466 compared to revenues of $15,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $6,500, or 41 percent, decrease was the result of fewer projects in process, COVID-19 related travel restrictions, and the recent developments in the global oil markets.
Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 38% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, despite a $2,510 decrease in gross profit for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues remained consistent over the comparative period despite incurring lower revenues, which was due to cost containment measures implemented by the Company to mitigate against the challenges posed by the macro environment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $5,049, or 53 percent of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which included a $245 severance charge related to the elimination of the Company’s COO position and a $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable due to prolonged customer payment terms and uncertainty around certain customers’ liquidity affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding these charges, SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4,356, or 46 percent of revenues. SG&A expenses were $6,137, or 38 percent of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which included $349 in one-time expenses related to the resignation of the Company’s founder. Excluding the one-time charges, SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $5,788, or 36% of revenues. The $1,432 decrease in regular SG&A expenses was due to lower payroll costs, lower legal costs, and continuous efforts to reduce operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Asset Impairment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges of $4,490 for the impairment of certain idle long-lived assets. The impairment was the result of an analysis of the carrying value of the assets and our inability to objectively project future cash flows from the sale or lease of these assets, particularly in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global economic disruption.

Modified EBITDA (loss) $ (477 ) $ 1,317
The $1,794 decrease in Modified EBITDA was due to decreased revenues as a result of the decline in offshore activity triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with a $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable due to prolonged customer payment terms and uncertainty around certain customers’ liquidity affected by the pandemic for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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, working capital of ~~$3,965~~$4,497 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, and potential opportunistic sales of PP&E, in addition to pursuing a disciplined approach to making capital investments.

~~Given~~The Company cannot predict with certainty the overall impact of the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic ~~activity~~disruption 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,~~As a result of the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19, the Company applied for a loan under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program, and on April 29, 2020, the Company received a loan (“PPP loan”) in the amount of $1,111, which ~~will be~~was used to finance payroll ~~rent, and utilities over the balance of~~during the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2020. The PPP loan ~~principal~~is evidenced by a promissory note, dated to be effective as of April 27, 2020, between the Company and ~~related~~the lender. The promissory note matures on April 27, 2022 and bears interest ~~accrued may~~at a fixed rate of 1.00 percent per annum, payable in 18 monthly payments commencing on November 27, 2020.
Subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s PPP loan, the U.S. Treasury and SBA refined its payment deferral guidance whereas payments for PPP loans are to be ~~forgivable, partially~~deferred for at least ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period. Additionally, if the loan forgiveness application is submitted within ten months after the end of the loan forgiveness covered period, payments will be further deferred until such loan forgiveness application is processed by the SBA. The Company applied for forgiveness of its PPP loan in its entirety in October 2020, which falls within ten months after the end of the Company’s loan forgiveness covered period. The Company has not received guidance from its lender regarding the timing or ~~in full, if certain conditions are met.~~ ultimate outcome of its forgiveness application. Therefore, due to the uncertain timing of payments, the Company did not carry a portion of its PPP loan balance as a current liability at September 30, 2020.
18
The Company also continues to engage in discussions with several financial institutions if a credit facility is needed to further support operations. There can be no assurance that the Company could obtain a credit facility, if needed.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, the Company generated ~~$91 in net cash provided by operating activities primarily due to improvements in cost containment measures. The Company used $57~~$44 of net cash provided by investing activities, which was primarily related to the purchase of PP&E. The Company also used $524 of net cash in financing activities for share repurchases, which resulted in a decrease of $490 in cash for the period.
~~During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company used $756 to fund its operating and financing activities. The Company used $583 of net cash in~~from operating activities, which was primarily due to reductions in accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company also used $108 in net cash for investing activities, primarily for purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company generated $586 of net cash from financing activities, primarily through the $1,111 PPP loan proceeds, which was partially offset by $525 of share repurchases.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company used $1,531 of net cash in operating activities, primarily due to a ~~$2,566~~$2,334 increase in accounts receivable ~~partially offset by net income~~ and a $543 decrease in ~~contract assets.~~accounts payable. The Company generated ~~$517 in~~$1,572 of net cash from investing activities, primarily due to ~~receipt of $507~~receiving $515 in repayments on a note ~~receivable.~~receivable and $1,035 from the maturity of a certificate of deposit.

Inflation and Seasonality

The Company does not believe that its operations are significantly impacted by inflation, and its business is not significantly seasonal in nature.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its 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 the financial statements relate to revenue recognition where the Company measures progress towards completion on a cost-to-cost basis for fixed-price contracts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and ~~the valuation allowance for deferred income tax~~impairments of long-lived assets. These estimates require judgments, which are based 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.

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. ~~A summary~~The Company expenses or accrues legal costs as incurred and is involved in only one material legal proceeding as of the ~~Company’s material legal 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 termsdate 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.~~Report.

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~~$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 ~~$1,000,000~~$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.
