NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
| NOTE 1: | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Basis of Presentation
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Deep Down, Inc.”, “Deep Down”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” are used in this Report to refer to Deep Down, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Deep Down Nevada”), and its directly wholly owned subsidiary, Deep Down, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deep Down Delaware”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. 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, 2020.
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, 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 $
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, and potential opportunistic sales of PP&E in addition to pursuing a disciplined approach to making capital investments. However, given the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19 in 2020, the Company cannot predict this with certainty. To mitigate this uncertainty and preserve liquidity, the Company will continue to pursue opportunistic cost containment initiatives, which can include workforce alignment, limiting overhead spending and research and development efforts to only critical items, and actively pursuing further cost reduction opportunities as they become available.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

| NOTE 2: | LEASES |
In February 2016, the 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 is initially 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 is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs.
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 then-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 lease 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 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 June 30, 2021, 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 each 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.

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.
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.
| 8 |
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 invoiced and are payable 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 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no contracts with terms that extended beyond one year.
The following table summarizes our contract assets, which are “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” and our contract liabilities, which are “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”.

The contract asset and liability balances at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted primarily of 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.
| 9 |
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 Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is expected to 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2020, in a privately negotiated transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2020,
shares of common stock were purchased for an aggregate amount of $
| 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

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 and is involved in only one material legal proceeding as of the date of this 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 $
| 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 effect of common stock equivalents (warrants, nonvested stock awards and stock options) using the treasury method.
In each relevant period, the net income used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations is the same. The following table reconciles the weighted-average basic number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average diluted number of common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted EPS.

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 provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of Deep Down’s results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 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.”
General
Deep Down is a leading energy services company offering subsea equipment and support services to the world’s energy and offshore industries. We provide innovative solutions to complex customer challenges presented between the production facility and the energy source. 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 team can support subsea engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects located anywhere in the world.
Industry and Executive Outlook
The oilfield services industry is dependent on the capital and operating expenditure programs of oil and gas companies. The decision for oil and gas operators to cut back or accelerate their exploration, drilling, and production operations is substantially driven by the overall condition of the oil and gas industry. This industry has historically been characterized by fluctuations in oil and gas prices, which are driven by a variety of market forces.
In March 2020, the energy industry encountered a significant economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to have an impact globally. The Company acknowledges that the low oil price environment caused by the pandemic, when coupled with restricted travel to mitigate against the spread of COVID-19, triggered many exploration and production companies to either significantly reduce, delay, or cancel their operating and capital spending programs. This decline in offshore drilling and production activity resulted in lower contract volumes or delays in significant contracts, which negatively impacted our earnings and cash flows. Our earnings and cash flows could also be negatively impacted by delays in payments by significant customers or delays in completion of our contracts for any reason.
Oil and gas operators, equipment providers, and services companies had to quickly adapt to overcome the challenges presented by these unprecedented times, and Deep Down was no exception. Our primary focus throughout 2020 and the first half of 2021 has been to improve our cost structure and manage our cash flows, and as a result of these efforts, we have been able to generate a profit for the past three consecutive quarters despite the offshore drilling environment continuing to recover at a measured pace. Our efforts to manage costs and cash flows will remain a priority as we look toward the future.
The initial loan we received under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in April 2020 supplemented our cash flows to fund payroll as revenues declined, and our second PPP loan in March 2021 provided a needed buffer to fund working capital while we continue to strengthen our workforce. Last quarter, we viewed the workforce reductions at other organizations as an opportunity to add high caliber individuals to our team who have a wealth of industry knowledge and experience.
During the first half of 2021, oil prices progressively rebounded to healthier levels, and travel restrictions began to ease. As a result, we managed to safely send teams to various international locations over the past six months. We are cautiously optimistic that the prevalence of vaccines will continue to encourage border controls to be loosened.
| 14 |
In addition to the increased ability to travel, we have also seen a progressive increase in bidding activity and execution of contract awards as operators mobilize to complete previously delayed projects. In addition, the Company received an order at the beginning of the year for the rental of one of our two carousels that are suitable for large umbilical or cable projects. Certain aspects of this project have not been performed before, which further solidifies our reputation as a service provider of choice for unique offshore installation projects. We envision that the successful execution of this project will provide further opportunities to utilize our carousels in the future.
The growth of our business remains a top priority and generating free cash flow and preservation of liquidity remains of critical importance to achieve growth in the current environment. We are keenly focused on the levers within our control, and we are seeing an increase in requests for short-cycle service work, an area where we have a proven track record. We, therefore, see this continuing as an area of further growth for the Company. We also believe customers will continue to be heavily focused on efficiency and shorter lead times, without sacrificing quality and safety. We are confident our streamlined operations and renewed focus on our cost drivers will enable us to be the primary choice for our customers.
Looking towards the future, we continue to actively engage with a variety of companies on different aspects of the transition to renewable energy with increasing interest in our installation capabilities, equipment, and knowledge of the subsea environment. There are several areas we see as potential growth opportunities, though the timing of these opportunities and associated cash flows is uncertain. As such, we are pursuing different partnerships especially around new technologies as we seek to leverage our core competencies to increase the market potential of our current product and service offerings. We are also working on developing the next generation of our equipment by incorporating designs that utilize a reduced carbon footprint.
We maintain our commitment to ensuring we continuously enhance value for our stockholders, while being an employer of choice in the industry.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $4,528 compared to revenues of $2,725 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $1,803, or 66 percent, increase from the same period in 2020 was primarily the result of the progressive increase in demand for our subsea equipment, support services, and rental solutions.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $1,722, or 142 percent, to $2,938 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1,216 for the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased costs for materials and higher utilization rates for service and fabrication personnel during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company received rent abatements of $251 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but did not receive any rent abatements during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company records depreciation expense related to revenue-generating property, plant and equipment as cost of sales, which totaled $184 and $242 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The comparative decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to recording increased impairment charges relating to certain idle, long-lived assets during 2020, which had the effect of reducing depreciation expense in subsequent periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased by $253, or 13 percent, to $1,752 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $2,005 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to incurring a one-time $245 severance charge related to the elimination of the Company’s COO position during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company recorded a $534 and $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable related to prolonged customer payment terms and uncertainty around certain customers’ liquidity for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
| 15 |
Asset Impairment. During the three months ended June 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. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $8 compared to net interest expense of $1 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $7 is due to recording interest accrued to date on the Company’s outstanding PPP loan balances.
Other income, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net other income of $1,156, which was primarily related to the forgiveness of its first PPP loan obtained in April 2020.
Gain on sale of assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, gain on sales of assets was approximately $6 related to equipment sold by the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not record any gains related to equipment and vehicles sold by the Company.
Modified EBITDA. Deep Down management evaluates Company performance based on a non-US GAAP measure which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common stockholders 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 property, plant and equipment (“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. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We believe Modified EBITDA is a useful 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) from our operating 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) to Modified EBITDA (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The $114 improvement in Modified EBITDA (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in revenues and decrease in SG&A expenses as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Modified EBITDA (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was also impacted by recording a $534 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable as compared to recording a $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $8,450 compared to revenues of $6,330 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $2,120, or 33 percent, increase from the same period in 2020 was primarily the result of the progressive increase in demand for our subsea equipment, support services, and rental solutions.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $1,491, or 43 percent, to $4,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $3,458 for the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to higher utilization rates for service and fabrication personnel and increased costs for materials during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company received rent abatements of $251 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but did not receive any rent abatements during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company records depreciation expense related to revenue-generating property, plant and equipment as cost of sales, which totaled $367 and $482 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The comparative decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to the Company recording increased impairment charges relating to certain idle, long-lived assets during 2020, which had the effect of reducing depreciation expense in subsequent periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A decreased by $411, or 11 percent, to $3,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $3,698 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to incurring a one-time $245 severance charge related to the elimination of the Company’s COO position during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company recorded a $534 and $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable related to prolonged customer payment terms and uncertainty around certain customers’ liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Asset Impairment. During the six months ended June 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. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest expense, net. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $21 compared to net interest expense of $2 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $19 is due to recording interest accrued to date on the Company’s outstanding PPP loan balances.
Other income, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net other income of $1,156, which was primarily related to the forgiveness of its first PPP loan obtained in April 2020.
Gain on sale of assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, gain on sales of assets was approximately $55 and related to equipment sold by the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not record any gains related to equipment and vehicles sold by the Company.

The $790 increase in Modified EBITDA was due primarily to an increase in revenues and decrease in SG&A during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Modified EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was also impacted by recording a $534 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable as compared to recording a $448 reserve for doubtful accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
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 $6,094 as of June 30, 2021, and potential opportunistic sales of PP&E in addition to pursuing a disciplined approach to making capital investments.
Given the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19 in 2020, the Company cannot predict with certainty the future 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 alignment, wage reductions, rent abatements, and limiting capital expenditures and R&D efforts to only critical items. The Company continues to seek further opportunities to preserve liquidity.
The Company obtained a $1,111 loan under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program in April 2020 (“April 2020 PPP loan”). The April 2020 PPP loan was used to finance covered payroll expenses during the second and third quarters of 2020. The Company applied for forgiveness of the April 2020 PPP loan in October 2020 and received forgiveness of $1,111 from the SBA on June 29, 2021. The amount of loan forgiveness, including accrued interest, is presented as a component of other income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The Company applied for a second PPP loan and, on March 1, 2021, received a potentially forgivable loan (“March 2021 PPP loan”) in the amount of $1,111. The March 2021 PPP loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated to be effective as of March 1, 2021, between the Company and the lender. The promissory note matures on March 1, 2026 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00 percent per annum, beginning on the date of advance until the loan maturity date. The PPP Flexibility Act of 2020 delayed repayment of principal and interest until the date that the forgiveness amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA. Under the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program, up to 100% of the loan and related interest may be forgiven if the proceeds are used for covered expenses and certain other requirements related to wage rates and maintenance of full-time equivalents are met. The Company applied for full forgiveness of the March 2021 PPP loan with the lender on August 5, 2021.
| 18 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company used $643 of net cash in operating activities primarily to fund working capital. The Company also used $140 of net cash in investing activities, primarily to fund capital expenditures. The Company generated $1,111 of net cash provided by financing activities from PPP loan proceeds, which resulted in a $328 increase in cash for the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company used $351 of net cash in operating activities, which was primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by reductions in accounts receivable and other assets. The Company also used $95 of net cash for investing activities, primarily to fund capital expenditures. The Company generated $587 from financing activities, primarily through the $1,111 PPP loan proceeds, which was partially offset by $524 of share repurchases. This resulted in a $141 increase in cash for the period.
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 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.
Refer to Part II. Item 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, 2020 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Refer to Note 1 in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplemental Data,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 23, 2019, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This 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 three months 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. The repurchase program was exhausted as of March 31, 2020.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 and is involved in only one material legal proceeding as of the date of this 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 counter claim 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.
