Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)


(1) Basis1. Description of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesBusiness


These notes apply to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. a Colorado corporation (the "Company", “NGSG”“NGS”, "Natural Gas Services Group", "we" or "our").   (a Colorado corporation), is a provider of natural gas compression equipment and services to the energy industry. The Company manufactures, fabricates, rents, sells and maintains natural gas compressors and flare systems for oil and natural gas production and plant facilities. NGS is headquartered in Midland, Texas, with fabrication facilities located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Midland, Texas, and service facilities located in major oil and natural gas producing basins in the U.S.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary, NGSG Properties, LLC and the rabbi trust associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to make our financial position at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and the results of our operations for the three and ninesix monthsended SeptemberJune 30,2017 2022 and 20162021 not misleading. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).  These financial statements should be read in conjunctionwith the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021 on file with the SEC. In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements are a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented.


The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2022.


Revenue Recognition Policy


Revenue from the sales of custom and fabricated compressors, and flare systems is recognized when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by our customer. From time to time, we have customers that request units and flares to be built under a bill and hold arrangement. In order to recognizeThe Company recognizes revenue under a bill and hold arrangement the following criteria must be met: risk of ownership was passed to the customer, customer made a fixed commitment to purchase the goods, the customer requested the bill and hold, there was a fixed schedule for delivery, we no longer had any specific performance obligations, the purchase was segregated at our facility and the equipment was complete and ready to ship. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized revenue of $5.7 million under these bill and hold arrangements. Exchange and rebuilt compressor revenue is recognized when the replacement compressor has been delivered and the rebuild assessment has been completed.  Revenue from compressor service and retrofitting services is recognized upon providing services to the customer.  Maintenance agreement revenue is recognized as services are rendered.  Rental revenue is recognized over the terms of the respective rental agreements.  Deferred income represents payments received before a product is shipped.  Revenue from the sale of rental units is included in sales revenue when equipment is shipped or title is transferred to the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred compensation plan (cash portion) and our line of credit. Pursuant toaccordance with ASC 820 (Accounting Standards Codification), the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for capital and operating leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Additionally, this ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The new standard will be effective during our first quarter ending March 31, 2019. We are currently determining the impacts of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and the additional applicable disclosure requirements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)("ASC 606"), except for rental revenue as discussed below. Under ASC 606, revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a customer’s contract, excluding any sale incentives and taxes collected on behalf of third parties (i.e. sales and property taxes). This update providesRevenue is recognized when a five-step analysis on how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfercustomer obtains control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchangereceive for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, we (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation(s). Shipping and handling costs incurred are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.



Nature of Goods and Services
services. This guidance
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue:

Rental Revenue. The Company generates revenue from renting compressors and flare systems to our customers. These contracts, which all qualify as operating leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842), may also requires more detailed disclosuresinclude a fee for servicing the compressor or flare during the rental contract period. Our rental contracts typically range from six to enable users24 months, with our larger horsepower compressors having contract terms of financial statementsup to understand60 months. Our revenue is recognized over time, with equal monthly payments over the nature,term of the contract. After the terms of the contract have expired, a customer may renew their contract or continue renting on a monthly basis thereafter. In accordance ASC 842, we have applied the practical expedient ASC 842-10-15-42A, which allows the Company to combine lease and non-lease components.

Sales Revenue. The Company generates revenue by the sale of custom/fabricated compressors, flare systems and parts, as well as, exchange/rebuilding customer owned compressors and sale of used rental equipment.
7



Custom/fabricated compressors and flare systems - The Company designs and fabricates compressors and flares based on the customer’s specifications outlined in their contract. Though the equipment being built is customized by the customer, control under these contracts does not pass to the customer until the compressor or flare package is complete and shipped, or in accordance with a bill and hold arrangement, the customer accepts title and assumes the risk and rewards of ownership. We request some of our customers to make progressive payments as the product is being built; these payments are recorded as a contract liability on the Deferred Income line on the condensed consolidated balance sheet until control has been transferred. These contracts also may include an assurance warranty clause to guarantee the product is free from defects in material and workmanship for a set duration of time; this is a standard industry practice and is not considered a performance obligation.

From time to time we recognize revenue when manufacturing is complete and the equipment is ready for shipment. At the customer’s request, we will bill the customer upon completing all performance obligations, but before shipment. The customer will formally request that we ship the equipment per their direction from our manufacturing facility at a later specified date and that we segregate the equipment from our finished goods, such that they are not available to fill other orders. Per the customer’s agreement change of control is passed to the customer once the equipment is complete and ready for shipment. We have operated using bill and hold agreements with certain customers for many years, with consistent and satisfactory results for both the customer and us. The credit terms on these agreements are consistent with the credit terms on all other sales. All control is maintained by the customer and there are no exceptions to the customer’s commitment to accept and pay for the manufactured equipment. There was no revenue recognized for bill and hold arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Parts - Revenue is recognized after the customer obtains control of the parts. Control is passed either by the customer taking physical possession or the parts being shipped. The amount timing and uncertainty of revenue recognized is not adjusted for expected returns, as our historical part returns have been de minimis.

Exchange or rebuilding customer owned compressors - Based on the contract, the Company will either exchange a new/rebuilt compressor for the customer’s malfunctioning compressor or rebuild the customer’s compressor. Revenue is recognized after control of the replacement compressor has transferred to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e., by physical delivery, delivery and cash flows arisinginstallment, or shipment of the compressor.

Used compressors or flares - From time to time, a customer may request to purchase a used compressor or flare out of our rental fleet. Revenue from the sale of rental equipment is recognized when the control has passed to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e., when the customer has taken physical possession or the equipment has been shipped.

Service and Maintenance Revenue. The Company provides routine or call-out services on customer owned equipment. Revenue is recognized after services in the contract are rendered.

Payment terms for sales revenue and service and maintenance revenue discussed above are generally 30 to 60 days, although terms for specific customers can vary. Also, transaction prices are not subject to variable consideration constraints.

Contract Balances

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the following receivables and deferred income from contracts with customers. customers:

Total Accounts Receivable, net$11,861 $10,389 
Deferred income$— $1,312 

The Company recognized sales revenues of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 that was included in deferred income at the beginning of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized sales revenues of $1.1 million that was included in deferred income at the beginning of 2021.

The increase of accounts receivable and decrease of deferred income were primarily due to normal timing differences between our performance and the customers’ payments.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have deferred revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations.

Contract Costs

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we include an expense in the tax provision in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance in ASC 740, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. We have no liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2022.

Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as interest expense and other expense, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015,June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standardsASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments to ASC Topic 326 require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, including trade receivables. For companies that qualify as smaller reporting companies, the amendments in this update for a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard’sare effective date for all entities, which changed the effectiveness to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. The guidance offers two transition methods: a full retrospective approach to be applied to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach where the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized at the date of initial application. We have preliminarily selected the modified retrospective transition method.2023. We are currently determiningevaluating the impactsimpact of the new standardASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. Our approach includes performing a detailed review of key contracts that are representative of our various revenue streamsstatements and comparing our historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Our sales and service and maintenance contracts are more short-term in nature or can usually be completed within the same quarter they are started; but, at this stage in our assessment we are still finalizing our evaluation of the extent to which we will have changes, upon adoption. For the impact related to our rental revenues, we are in the final stages of our review and have not concluded as to what impact, if any, there may be to our rental revenues. We also tentatively anticipate a change in our disclosures under the new standard. We expect to complete our review by mid-November 2017.note disclosures.

4. Federal Income Tax Receivable

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in response to the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allowed NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid federal income taxes. The Company generated significant NOLs during 2018 and 2019, and has filed amended returns to carryback these losses for five years. Accordingly, during 2020, the Company recorded a federal income tax receivable of $15.0 million and an increase to its deferred income tax liability of $10.1 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company received refunds totaling $3.9 million related to its 2018 NOLs, which reduced its federal income tax receivable to $11.5 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

(4) Retirement of Long-Lived Assets

During the review ofWe evaluated our rental compressor units, management looksequipment for any units that are not of the type, configuration, make or model that our customers are demanding or that were not cost efficient to refurbish, maintain and/or operate. From our review in 2016, we determined 63 units should be retired from our rental fleet with key components from those units being re-utilized in future unit builds and/or repairs. We performed an optimization review and recorded a $545,000 loss on retirement of


rental equipment to reduce the book value of each unit to the estimated fair value of approximately $242,000 for key components being kept. This retirement was recorded in the 2016 consolidated income statement under loss on retirement of rental equipment. No retirements have been made in 2017.

(5) Deferred Compensation Plans

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for executive officers, directors and certain eligible employees. The assets of the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust and are subject to additional risk of loss in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The plan allows for deferral of up to 90% of a participant’s base salary, bonus, commissions, director fees and restricted stock unit awards. A Company owned life insurance policy held in a rabbi trust is utilized as a source of funding for the plan. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policy is $814,000 and $149,000potential impairment as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172022, and 2016, respectively, with a gain related to the policy of approximately $35,000 and $7,000 reported in other income in the condensed consolidated income statement for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For deferrals of base salary, bonus, commissions and director fees, settlement payments are made to participants in cash, either in a lump sum or in periodic installments. The obligation to pay the deferred compensation and the deferred director fees is adjusted to reflect the positive or negative performance of investment measurement options selected by each participant and was $779,000 and $151,000determined that no such impairment existed as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The deferred obligation is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.that date.


For deferrals of restricted stock units, the plan does not allow for diversification, therefore, distributions are paid in shares of common stock and the obligation is carried at grant value. As of September 30, 2017, 97,011 unvested restricted stock units have been deferred.

(6)6. Credit Facility


Previous Credit Agreement

We havehad a senior secured revolving credit agreement the ("AmendedPrevious Credit Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A (the "Lender") withthat matured on March 31, 2021. Prior to maturation, the outstanding balance of $417,000 was repaid. The Previous Credit Agreement had an aggregate commitment of $30 million, subject to collateral availability.

New Credit Agreement

On May 11, 2021, we entered into a five year senior secured revolving credit agreement ("New Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the "Lender") with an initial commitment of $20 million and an accordion feature that would increase the maximum commitment to $30 million, subject to collateral availability. We also have a right to request from the Lender, on an uncommitted basis, an increase of up to $20$30 million on the aggregate commitment (which could potentially increasecommitment; provided, however, the aggregate commitment amount is not permitted to exceed $50 million). On August 31, 2017, we amended and renewedmillion. The maturity date of the AmendedNew Credit Agreement which was set to expire on December 31, 2017.is May 11, 2026. The obligations under the New Credit Agreement Amendment extends the maturity date to December 31, 2020. No other material revisions were made to the credit facility.are secured by a first priority lien on a variety of our assets, including inventory and accounts receivable as well as a variable number of our leased compressor equipment.


Borrowing Base.Base. At any time before the maturity of the AmendedNew Credit Agreement, we may draw, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the borrowing base up to the maximum aggregate availability discussed above. Generally, the borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 80%90% of our eligible accounts receivable owed to the Company by investment grade debtors, plus (b) 85% of the eligible accounts receivable owing by non-investment grade debtors, plus (c) 50% of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value at such time, subject to a cap of this component not to exceed $2.0 million, plus (d) the lesser of (i) 95% of the net book value of ourthe compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible general inventory (notfor the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 50%25 years, at such time and (ii) 80% of the commitment amount atnet liquidation value percentage of the time) plus (c) 75% of thenet book value of ourthe eligible equipment inventory.compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible for the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 25 years, at such time, plus (e) 80% of the value at cost (excluding any costs for capitalized interest or other non-cash capitalized costs) of the eligible new compressor fleet, minus (f) any required availability reserves determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. The Lender may adjust the borrowing base components if material deviations in the collateral are discovered in future audits of the collateral. We had $29.5 millionAs of June 30, 2022, our allowable borrowing base availability at September 30, 2017 under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement.was $20.0 million.

Interest and Fees.Fees. Under the terms of the AmendedNew Credit Agreement, we have the option of selecting the applicable variable rate for each revolving loan, or portion thereof, of either (a) LIBOR multipliedthe Base Rate (as defined below) plus the Applicable Margin, or (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. "Base Rate" means, for any day, a rate of interest per annum equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate for such day; (b) the sum of the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50%; and (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such day plus 1.00%. The Applicable Margin is determined based upon the leverage ratio as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by the Statutory ReserveLender for each fiscal quarter from time to time pursuant to the New Credit Agreement. Depending on the leverage ratio, the Applicable Margin can be 0.25% to 0.75% for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the AmendedNew Credit Agreement), with respect and 1.25% to this rate,1.75% for Eurocurrency funding, plusEurodollar Rate Loans and for requested letters of credit. In addition, we are required to pay a monthly commitment fee on the Applicable Margin (“LIBOR-based”), or (b) CB Floating Rate, which is the Lender's Prime Rate less the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that no more than three LIBOR-based borrowings under the agreement may be outstanding at any one time. For purposesdaily average unused amount of the LIBOR-based interestcommitment while the New Credit Agreement is in effect at an annual rate the Applicable Margin is 1.50%. For purposesequal to 0.25% of the CB Floating Rate, the Applicable Margin is 1.50%. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, our weighted average interest rate was 2.49%.

unused commitment amount. Accrued interest is payable monthly on outstanding principal amounts and unused commitment fee, provided that accrued interest on LIBOR-based loansEurodollar Rate Loans is payable at the end of each interest period, but in no event less frequently than quarterly. In addition, fees and expenses are payable in connection with our requests for letters of credit (generally equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR-related borrowings multiplied by the face amount of the requested letter of credit) and administrative and legal costs.

Maturity.Covenants. The maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement is December 31, 2020, at which time all amounts borrowed under the agreement will be due and outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized. The agreement may be terminated early upon our request or the occurrence of an event of default.


Security. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on all of our inventory and accounts and leases receivables, along with a first priority lien on a variable number of our leased compressor equipment the book value of which must be maintained at a minimum of 2.00 to 1.00 commitment coverage ratio (such ratio being equal to (i) the amount of the borrowing base as of such date to (ii) the amount of the commitment as of such date.)
Covenants. The AmendedNew Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as covenants which, among other things, condition or limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; make acquisitions in excess of certain amounts; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock or senior notes; make investments or loans; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; or change the nature of our business. In addition, we also have certain financial covenants that are applicable during certain trigger periods specified in the
11


Credit Agreement and require us during such trigger periods to maintain on a consolidated basis a leverage ratio less than or equal to 2.503.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.


Events of Default and Acceleration. The AmendedNew Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for credit facilities of this size and type, and includes, without limitation, payment defaults; defaults in performance of covenants or other agreements contained in the loanCredit Agreement and the other transaction documents; inaccuracies in representations and warranties; certain defaults, termination events or similar events; certain defaults with respect to any other Company indebtedness in excess of $50,000;$1.0 million; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; the rendering of certain judgments in excess of $150,000;$1.0 million; certain ERISA events; certain change in control events and the defectiveness of any liens under the secured revolving credit facility.agreement. Obligations outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our AmendedNew Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement.

(8) Segment Information
ASC 280-10-50, “Operating Segments", defines the characteristics of an operating segment as: a) being engaged in business activity from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, b) being reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) for decisions about resources to be allocated and assess its performance and c) having discrete financial information.  Although we look at our products to analyze the nature of our revenue, other financial information, such as certain costs and expenses, net income and EBITDA are not captured or analyzed by these categories.  Our CODM does not make resource allocation decisions or access the performance of the business based on these categories, but rather in the aggregate. Based on this, management believes that it operates in one business segment.
In their analysis of product lines as potential operating segments, management also considered ASC 280-10-50-11, “Aggregation Criteria”, which allows for the aggregation of operating segments if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:
The nature of the products and services;

The nature of the production processes;

The type or class of customer for their products and services;

The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and

The nature of the regulatory environment, if applicable.
We are engaged in the business of designing and manufacturing compressors and flares. Our compressors and flares are sold and rented to our customers. In addition, we provide service and maintenance on compressors in our fleet and to third parties. These business activities are similar in all geographic areas.  Our manufacturing process is essentially the same for the entire Company and is performed in-house at our facilities in Midland, Texas and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Our customers primarily consist of entities in the business of producing natural gas and crude oil.  The maintenance and service of our products is consistent across the entire Company and is performed via an internal fleet of vehicles.  The regulatory environment is similar in every jurisdiction in that the most impacting regulations and practices are the result of federal energy policy.  In addition, the economic characteristics of each customer arrangement are similar in that we maintain policies at the corporate level.

Overview


We fabricate, manufacture, rent, and sell natural gas compressors and related equipment. Our primary focus is on the rental of natural gas compressors. Our rental contracts generallytypically provide for initial terms of six to 24 months, with our larger horsepower units having contract terms of up to 60 months. After the initial term of our rental contracts, many of our customers have continued to rent our compressors on a month-to-month basis. Rental amounts are billed monthly in advance and include maintenance of theour rented compressors. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we had 1,2511,281 natural gas compressors totaling 180,433311,379 horsepower rented to 8079 customers compared to 1,3871,245 natural gas compressors totaling 196,721287,365 horsepower rented to 79 customers at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021.


We also fabricate natural gas compressors for sale to our customers, designing compressors to meet unique specifications dictated by well pressures, production characteristics, and particular applications for which compression is sought. Fabrication of compressors involves our purchase of engines, compressors, coolers, and other components, and our assembling of these components on skids for delivery to customer locations. The major components of our compressorscompressor packages are acquired through periodic purchase orders placed with third-party suppliers on an “as needed” basis, which presently requires a tworequire lead times between three to three month lead timesix months with delivery dates scheduled to coincide with our estimated production schedules. Although we do not have formal continuing supply contracts with any major supplier, we believe we have adequate alternative sources available. In the past, weRecent inflationary pressures have not experienced any sudden and dramaticcreated price increases in the prices of theboth major and minor components for our compressors. However, the occurrence ofcompressors as well as longer than normal lead times for such components. To date, we have been able to increase our rental rates and sales prices proportionally; however, if cost increases continue and we are no longer able to increase our rental rates and sales prices such an event could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial condition, particularly if we were unable to increase our rental rates and sales prices proportionate to any such component price increases.condition.


We also manufacture a proprietary line of compressor frames, cylinders and parts, known as our CiP (Cylinder-in-Plane) product line. We use finished CiP component products in the fabrication of compressor units for sale or rental by us or sell the finished component products to other compressor fabricators. We also design, fabricate, sell, install, and service flare stacks and related ignition and control devices for onshore and offshore incineration of gas compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases. To provide customer support for our compressor and flare sales businesses, we stock varying levels of replacement parts at our Midland, Texas facility and at field service locations. We also provide an exchange and rebuild program for screw compressors and maintain an inventory of new and used compressors to facilitate this business.


We provide service and maintenance to our customers under written maintenance contracts or on an as-required basis in the absence of a service contract. Maintenance agreements typically have terms of ninesix months to one year and require payment of a monthly fee.

The oil and natural gas equipment rental and services industry is cyclical in nature. The most critical factor in assessing the outlook for the industry is the worldwide supply and demand for oil and natural gas and crude oil and the corresponding changes in commodity prices. As demand and prices increase, oil and natural gas producers typically increase their capital expenditures for drilling, development and production activities.activities, although recent equity capital constraints and demands from institutional investors to keep spending within operating cash flow have meaningfully restrained capital expenditure budgets of domestic exploration and production companies. Generally, the increased capital expenditures ultimately result in greater revenues and profits for servicesservice and equipment companies.


In general, we expect our overall business activity and revenues to track the level of activity in the oil and natural gas industry, with changes in domestic natural gas production and consumption levels and prices more significantly affecting our business than changes in crude oil and condensate production and consumption levels and prices affecting our business more than changes in domestic natural gas production and consumption levels and prices. However, inIn recent years we have increased our rentalrentals and sales in the non-conventionalunconventional oil shale plays, which are more dependent on crude oil prices. We also believe thatWith this shift towards oil production, the demand for overall compression services and products is driven by two general factors: an increased focus by producers on artificial lift applications, e.g., production enhancement with compression assisted gas lift; and declining reservoir pressure in maturing natural gas producing fields, especially unconventional production. These types of applications have historically been serviced by wellhead size compressors, and more recently,continue to be, but there has also been an economic move by our customers towards centralized drilling and production facilities, which have increased the market need for larger horsepower compressor packages. We recognized this need in recent years and have been shifting our cash and fabrication resources towards designing, fabricating and renting gas compressor packages that range from 400 horsepower up to 1,500 horsepower. While this is a response to market conditions and trends, it also provides us with the opportunity to compete as a full-line compression provider. In addition, recent heightened focus by producers on non-conventionalthe emissions profile of our customers has created a shift in demand from natural gas production, such as coalbed methane, gas shales and tight gas, which typically requires morepowered compression than productionto electric motor compression in areas where the electric infrastructure can accommodate the energy demands of these units. In response to this shift, we have announced plans to convert up to 100 compressor packages from conventional natural gas reservoirs.internal combustion engines to electric motors. The initial conversions will focus on packages in the 200-250 horsepower range.

Industry Update

We typically experience a decline in demand during periods of low crude oil and natural gas prices. Low crudeDuring the first quarter of 2020, we saw a substantial decline in the prices for oil and natural gasgas. Commodity prices experienced throughout 2016stabilized during 2021 with a sharp increase through the first six months of 2022. Historically, activity levels of exploration and production companies have continued in 2017, with some price movement but no significant sustaining price increases. Through much of this period, producers maintained theirbeen dependent on commodity prices. However, recent capital market focus on non-conventional oilcash returns from exploration and gas opportunities. The continued inconsistentproduction companies has restricted capital spending below levels that have historically been observed during higher commodity price environment has caused reduced project spending onenvironments. Generally, though, we feel that production activities (in which we are involved) will fare better than drilling activity. This is reflected in both conventionalthe stability of our rental revenues, which is driven by production activities, and non-conventional plays. While the timingvolatility of a returnour compressor sales, which tends to aggressive investment in the projects is uncertain,fluctuate with capital allocations. As such, we believe the long-term trend in our


market is favorable.  We believe this outlook is supported by our abilitystill expect compressor sales to withstand cyclical disruptions and position the Companybe low for the long term.remainder of 2022, as exploration and production companies have elected to rent compression units rather than allocating capital dollars to purchase new compression.


Results of Operations


Three months endedSeptember June 30, 2017,2022, compared to the three months endedSeptember 30, 2016.

Total revenue slightly decreased to $15.9 million from $16.2 million, or 2%, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly a result of a drop in rental revenue due to fewer units being rented, offset by increased sales.2021.

Rental revenue decreased to $11.3 million from $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016. We ended the quarter with 2,538 compressor packages in our fleet, down from 2,626 units at September 30, 2016.  The rental fleet had a utilization of 49.3% as of September 30, 2017 compared to 52.8% utilization as of September 30, 2016. The drop in utilization is mainly the result of compressor rental units being returned due to the continuing depressed oil and natural gas prices. We have experienced some relief in the number of sets versus returns over the past quarter resulting in the smallest decline in our utilization rate since the start of 2015. In the event that oil and natural gas prices increase, we expect to see an increase in the utilization of our fleet.

Sales revenue increased to $4.3 million from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016. This increase is the result of fluctuations in timing of industry activity related to capital projects. We believe this timing is reflective of the typical sales cycle, resulting in fluctuating compressor unit sales to third parties from our Tulsa and Midland operations. We also had an increase in our flares product line during this comparative period, due to customer demand.

Our overall operating income decreased $1.2 million to $593,000 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016, largely due to the decrease in rental revenue, net of the increase in sales revenue. Operating margin percentage decreased to 4% from 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The operating margin decreased due to the reduction in rental revenue.

Selling, general, and administrative expense increased to $2.3 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense.  
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $5.4 million for the period ended September 30, 2016.  This decrease is the result of fewer units being added to the fleet and older units becoming fully depreciated. We added only 16 units to our fleet over the past 12 months.
Provision for income tax was $57,000 and $322,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the provision is due to a decrease in taxable income and a change in effective tax rate between the two periods.

Total revenue increased 12.3% to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily a result of higher rental revenue (16.2% increase) during 2022 partially offset by lower sales revenue (18% decrease).

Rental revenue increased to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $15.6 million for the same period in 2021. This increase during the second quarter of 2022 was attributable to (i) an increase in high horsepower compression rentals as these units carry a higher revenue rate than our lower horsepower units and (ii) rental rate increases across a portion of our fleet intended to offset inflationary pressures related to the costs of our rental fleet.

As of June 30, 2022, we had 2,043 compressor packages in our fleet, down from 2,257 units at June 30, 2021 due to the retirement of units during the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company's total unit horsepower decreased to $51.0 million from $55.0 million, or 7.1%426,811 horsepower at June 30, 2022 compared to 446,803 horsepower at June 30, 2021, due to the aforementioned unit retirements in the fourth quarter of 2021 partially offset by the addition to the Company's fleet of 27 high horsepower compressors with 13,160 horsepower over the past 12 months. As of June 30, 2022, we had 1,281 natural gas compressors with a total of 311,379 horsepower rented to 79 customers, compared to 1,245 natural gas compressors with a total of 287,365 horsepower rented to 79 customers as of June 30, 2021. As a result, our total rented horsepower as of June 30, 2022 increased by 8.4% over the last twelve months. Our rental fleet had unit utilization as of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, of 62.7% and 55.2%, and our horsepower utilization for the ninesame dates increased to 73.0% from 64.3%. Our total rented horsepower increased by 8.4% contrasted against a 2.9% increase in total rented units. This illustrates the growing demand for our high horsepower units while the demand for our smaller and medium horsepower units has not recovered in line with recent commodity price increases.

Sales revenue decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease is mostly attributable to decreased parts and rebuild sales partially offset by increased compressor sales during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.Sales are subject to fluctuations in timing of industry activity related to our customers' capital projects and, as such, can vary substantially between periods.

Cost of rentals increased to $9.2 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Comparing2022 compared to $9.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. While rental revenues increased 16.2%, this 1.8% increase in costs of rentals is primarily due to inflationary pressures on labor and parts. While repair and maintenance expenses are customary in our business, the timing of such expenses can fluctuate between periods resulting in periods with larger than normal expenses.

Cost of sales decreased 19.0% to $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in unabsorbed costs related to our fabrication operations during the period.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 11.4% to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared $2.6 million during the same period in 2021. This decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to (i) a $392,000 decrease in our deferred compensation liability and (ii) a $188,000 decrease in restricted stock compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $160,000 increase in accrued bonus expense and (ii) a $147,000 increase in stock option expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  This was the result of a reduction in our rental fleet due to unit retirements in the fourth quarter of 2021.

We recorded an income tax expense of approximately $372,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an income tax benefit of $339,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For interim periods, our income tax benefit (expense) is computed based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. Our estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of expenses not deductible for income tax purposes.

Total revenue increased 11.4% to $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $36.1 million during the nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021. This increase was primarily a result of higher rental revenue (14.0% increase) during the first six months of 2022 partially offset by decreased sales revenue (2.3% decrease).

Rental revenue increased to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $31.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  This increase during the first six months of 2022 was attributable to an increase in high horsepower compression rentals as these units carry a higher revenue rate than our lower horsepower units and, to a lesser extent, rental rate increases across a portion of our fleet intended to offset inflationary pressures related to the costs of our rental fleet.

Sales revenue decreased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2016, rental revenue decreased 22% and sales revenue increased 57%.

Rental revenue decreased to $34.6 million from $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016.2021. This decrease is the result of the number of units returned duemostly attributable to low oil and natural gas prices. We ended the quarter with 2,538a decrease in parts sales partially offset by an increase in compressor packages in our rental fleet down from 2,626 units at September 30, 2016.  The rental fleet had a utilization of 49.3%, as of September 30, 2017 comparedsales.Sales are subject to 52.8% utilization as of September 30, 2016. We have experienced some relief in the number of sets versus returns over the past quarter resulting in the smallest decline in our utilization rate since the start of 2015. In the event that oil and natural gas prices increase, we should see incremental utilization of our fleet.

Sales revenue increased to $15.3 million from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016.  This increase is the result of the fluctuations in timing of industry activity related to capital projects. We believe thisprojects and, as such, can vary substantially between periods.

Cost of rentals increased 13.8% to $18.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $16.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to inflationary pressures on labor and parts as well as increased high horsepower units being placed into service. While repair and maintenance expenses are customary in our business, the timing is reflective of the typical sales cycle,such expenses can fluctuate between periods resulting in fluctuating compressor unitperiods with larger than normal expenses.

Cost of sales decreased 21.9% to third parties from our Tulsa and Midland operations. There was also an increase in demand for flares$3.4 million during this comparative period, due to customer demand.

This decrease during the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in rental revenue, offset by the increase in sales revenue and by an increase in stock compensation expense. Operating margin percentage decreased to 3% from 14%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our definition and use of Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as earnings (net (loss) income) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as non-cash stock compensation, impairment of goodwill, an increase in inventory allowance and inventory write-offs, and retirement of rental equipment. This term, as used and defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in
19


accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because:
it is widely used by investors in the energy industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
it helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating structure; and
it is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our Board of Directors, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under generally accepted accounting principles.  Some of these limitations are:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debts; and
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any capital expenditures for such replacements.

There are other material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the impact of certain recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss, and the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies.  Please read the table below under “Reconciliation” to see how Adjusted EBITDA reconciles to our net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.2 million (48.7%) due primarily to a $2.2 million increase in total revenues and a $0.3 million reduction in costs of sales partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in costs of rentals. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.5 million (22.9%) due primarily to a $4.1 million increase in total revenues and a $1.0 million reduction in costs of sales partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in costs of rentals.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we invested $4.7$19.2 million in rental and property and other equipment forby adding $18.8 million in new equipment to our rental fleet and service vehicles. Even though we have idle$410,000 mostly in vehicles as well as various other machinery and equipment. Our investment in rental equipment, property and other equipment also includes any changes to work-in-process related to our rental fleet jobs at times we do not have the specific typebeginning of equipment that our customers require, therefore we havethe period compared to build new equipment to satisfy their needs.the end of the period. Our rental work-in-process increased by $6.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We financed this activityour investment in rental equipment, property and other equipment with cash flow from operations and cash on hand. We anticipate that our cash flows from operations as well as our borrowing capacity under our New Credit Agreement will provide ample liquidity for our planned capital expenditures during the remainder of 2022 and beyond.


Cash flows


At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $72.9$9.8 million compared to $64.1$22.9 million at December 31, 2016.2021. Our cash flowflows from operationsoperating activities of $14.2$13.2 million waswere offset by capital expenditures of $4.7$19.2 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. We had working capital of $106.0$32.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 compared to $93.3$44.8 million at December 31, 2016. On September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding debt of $417,000, which is all related to our line of credit and is classified as non-current as of September 30, 2017.2021. We had positive netgenerated cash flowflows from operating activities of $14.2$13.2 million during the first ninesix months of 20172022 compared to $29.5cash flows provided by operating activities of $12.8 million for the first ninesix months of 2016.2021. The increase in cash flowflows from operations of $14.2 millionoperating activities was primarily driven by higher sales margins partially offset by higher costs of rentals during the resultfirst six months of the net income of $1.1 million and the non-cash items of depreciation of $16.0 million, $3.2 million related to the expenses associated with stock-based compensation, a decrease in deferred income taxes of $2.6 million and a decrease in working capital of $3.5 million.2022.


Strategy


For the remainder of the fiscal year 2017 and into 2018,2022, our overall plan is to continue monitoring and holding expenses in line with the anticipated level of activity, fabricate rental fleet equipment only in direct response to market requirements, emphasize marketing of our idle gas compressor units and limit bank borrowing in line with market conditions. For the remainder of 2017,2022, our forecasted capital expenditures will be directly dependent upon our customers’ compression requirements and are not anticipated to exceed our internally generated cash flows, and cash on hand.  Anyhand and borrowing availability under our New Credit Agreement. The majority of required capital will be for contracted, premium-priced additions to our compressor rental fleet and/or addition or replacement ofrequired service vehicles. We believe that cash flows from operations, our current cash position and borrowing capacity under our line of creditNew Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our capital and liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.  We may require additional capital to fund any unanticipated expenditures, including any acquisitions of other businesses, although that capital, beyond our line of credit, as discussed below may not be available to us when we need it or on acceptable terms.

Bank Borrowings


We have a senior secured revolving credit agreement the ("AmendedThe New Credit Agreement")Agreement with JP Morgan ChaseTexas Capital Bank, N.A.National Association (the "Lender") withhas an aggregateinitial commitment of $30$20 million,, and an accordion feature that would increase the maximum commitment to $30 million, subject to collateral availability. We also have a right to request from the lender,Lender, on an uncommitted basis, an increase of up to $20$30 million on the aggregate commitment (which could potentially increasecommitment; provided however, the aggregate commitment amount to $50 million). On August 31, 2017, we amended and renewed the Amended Credit Agreement, which was set to expire on December 31, 2017. The Credit Agreement Amendment extends the maturity date to December 31, 2020. No other material revisions were made to the credit facility.

Borrowing Base. At any time before the maturity of the Amended Credit Agreement, we may draw, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the borrowing base up to the maximum aggregate availability discussed above. Generally, the borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 80% of our eligible accounts receivable plus (b) 50% of the book value of our eligible general inventory (notis not permitted to exceed 50% of the commitment amount at the time) plus (c) 75% of the book value of our eligible equipment inventory. The Lender may adjust the borrowing base components if material deviations in the collateral are discovered in future audits of the collateral. We had $29.5 million borrowing base availability at September 30, 2017, under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement.
Interest and Fees.  Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the option of selecting the applicable variable rate for each revolving loan, or portion thereof, of either (a) LIBOR multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), with respect to this rate, for Eurocurrency funding, plus the Applicable Margin (“LIBOR-based”), or (b) CB Floating Rate, which is the Lender's Prime Rate less the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that no more than three LIBOR-based borrowings under the agreement may be outstanding at any one time. For purposes of the LIBOR-based interest rate, the Applicable Margin is 1.50%. For purposes of the CB Floating Rate, the Applicable Margin is 1.50%. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, our weighted average interest rate was 2.49%.

Accrued interest is payable monthly on outstanding principal amounts, provided that accrued interest on LIBOR-based loans is payable at the end of each interest period, but in no event less frequently than quarterly. In addition, fees and expenses are payable in connection with our requests for letters of credit (generally equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR-related borrowings multiplied by the face amount of the requested letter of credit) and administrative and legal costs.
Maturity.$50 million. The maturity date of the AmendedNew Credit Agreement is December 31, 2020, at which time all amounts borrowedMay 11, 2026. As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the agreement will be due and outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized. The agreement may be terminated early upon our request or the occurrence of an event of default.

Security. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on all of our inventory and accounts and leases receivables, along with a first priority lien on a variable number of our leased compressor equipment the book value of must be maintained at a minimum of 2.00 to 1.00 commitment coverage ratio (such ratio being equal to (i) the amount of the borrowing base as of such date to (ii) the amount of the commitment as of such date.)
Covenants. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; make acquisitions in excess of certain amounts; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock or senior notes; make investments or loans; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; or change the nature of our business. In addition, we also have certain financial covenants that require us to maintain on a consolidated basis a leverage ratio less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

Events of Default and Acceleration. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for credit facilities of this size and type, and includes, without limitation, payment defaults; defaults in performance of covenants or other agreements contained in the loan documents; inaccuracies in representations and warranties; certain defaults, termination events or similar events; certain defaults with respect to any other Company indebtedness in excess of $50,000; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; the rendering of certain judgments in excess of $150,000; certain ERISA events; certain change in control events and the defectiveness of any liens under the secured revolving credit facility. Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants in our AmendedNew Credit Agreement.  A default under our Credit Agreement could trigger the acceleration of our bank debt so that it is immediately due and payable.  Such default would likely limit our ability to access other credit. At September 30, 2017, our balance on the line of credit was 417,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices


Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management has determined that our critical accounting policies are those that relate to revenue recognition, estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for income taxes, accounting for long-lived assets and accounting for inventory.

There have been no changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


On February 25, 2016, the FinancialPlease read Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for capital and operating leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Additionally, this ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The new standard will be effective during our first quarter ending March 31, 2019. We are currently determining the impacts of the new standard onPolicies, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the additional applicable disclosure requirements.in this report.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update provides a five-step analysis on how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard’s effective date for all entities, which changed the effectiveness to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. The guidance offers two transition methods: a full retrospective approach to be applied to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach where the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized at the date of initial application. We have preliminarily selected the modified retrospective transition method. We are currently determining the impacts of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. Our approach includes performing a detailed review of key contracts that are representative of our various revenue streams and comparing our historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Our sales and service and maintenance contracts are more short-term in nature or can usually be completed within the same quarter they are started; but, at this stage in our assessment we are still finalizing our evaluation of the extent to which we will have changes, upon adoption. For the impact related to our rental revenues, we are in the final stages of our review and have not concluded as to what impact, if any, there may be to our rental revenues. We also tentatively anticipate a change in our disclosures under the new standard. We expect to complete our review by mid-November 2017.




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


From time-to-time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include operating lease agreements and purchase agreements. We do not believe that these arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of or requirements for, capital resources.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements


Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this report are forward-looking and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.  Those risks include, among other things, the loss of market share through competition or otherwise; the introduction of competing technologies by other companies; a prolonged, substantial reduction in oil and natural gas prices, which could cause a decline in the demand for our products and services; and new governmental safety, health and environmental regulations, which could require us to make significant capital expenditures. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are only made as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. A discussion of these and other risk factors is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021 filed with the SEC.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
