Note 1 —1. Organization and Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization

Industrea

Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Successor”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Thornton (near Denver), Colorado. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc. (“Brundage-Bone”), Capital Pumping (“Capital”), Camfaud Group Limited (“Camfaud”), and Eco-Pan, Inc. (“Eco-Pan”).

On December 6, 2018 (the "Closing Date"), the Company, formerly known as Concrete Pumping Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting, consummated a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businessestransaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which it acquired (i) the private operating company formerly called Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (“CPH”) and (ii) the former special purpose acquisition company called Industrea Acquisition Corp (“Industrea”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on manufacturing and service companies in the industrial sector. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 7, 2017 (date of inception) through September 30, 2017 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 26, 2017. On August 1, 2017, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230 million and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, inclusive of $8.05 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6).

SimultaneouslyIn connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering,Business Combination, the Company consummatedchanged its name to Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. The financial results described herein for the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,100,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, with the Company’s sponsor, Industrea Alexandria LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $11.1 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offeringdates and Private Placement, $234.6 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Trust Account”). The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $986,000 in cash held outside of the Trust Account. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respectperiods prior to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class A common stock”), included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account. The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will payrelate to the underwriters. These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity uponoperations of CPH prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. IfSee Note 4 – Business Combinations for further discussion.

Nature of business

Brundage-Bone and Capital are concrete pumping service providers in the United States ("U.S.") and Camfaud is a stockholder voteconcrete pumping service provider in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Their core business is not required by lawthe provision of concrete pumping services to general contractors and concrete finishing companies in the commercial, infrastructure and residential sectors. Most often equipment returns to a “home base” nightly and neither company contracts to purchase, mix, or deliver concrete. Brundage-Bone and Capital collectively have approximately 90 branch locations across 22 states, with its corporate headquarters in Thornton (near Denver), Colorado. Camfaud has 28 branch locations throughout the U.K., with its corporate headquarters in Epping (near London), England.

Eco-Pan provides industrial cleanup and containment services, primarily to customers in the construction industry in the U.S. and the Company does not decideU.K. Eco-Pan uses containment pans specifically designed to hold a stockholder vote for business orwaste products from concrete and other legal reasons,industrial cleanup operations. Eco-Pan has 16 operating locations across the U.S. and 1 operating location in the U.K., with its corporate headquarters in Thornton (near Denver), Colorado.

Seasonality

The Company’s sales are historically seasonal, with lower revenue in the first quarter and higher revenue in the fourth quarter of each year. Such seasonality also causes the Company’s working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter and primarily depends on the variability of weather patterns with the Company will, pursuantgenerally having lower sales volume during the winter and spring months. 

Impacts of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged and has spread around the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to its Amendedbe a global pandemic and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendedrecommended containment and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuantmitigation measures worldwide. On March 13, 2020, U.S. President Trump announced a National Emergency relating to the tender offer rulespandemic. Government authorities in the U.S. and U.K. have recommended or imposed various social distancing, quarantine, and isolation measures on large portions of the U.S.population, which include limitations on travel and mandatory cessation of certain business activities. Both the outbreak and the containment and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have a serious adverse impact on the global economy, the severity and duration of which are uncertain. It is likely that government stabilization efforts will only partially mitigate the consequences to the economy. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors. These include the duration and extent of the pandemic; the duration and extent of imposed or recommended containment and mitigation measures; the extent, duration, and effective execution of government stabilization and recovery efforts; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity, including on construction projects and the Company’s customers’ demand for its services; the Company’s ability to effectively operate, including as a result of travel restrictions and mandatory business and facility closures; the ability of the Company’s customers to pay for services rendered; any further closures of the Company’s and the Company’s customers’ offices and facilities; and any additional project delays or shutdowns. Customers may also slow down decision-making, delay planned work or seek to terminate existing agreements. Any of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or results of operations, including further impairment to our goodwill and intangible assets.

In the final month of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, operations in the Seattle and U.K. markets were negatively impacted due to COVID-19-imposed construction site shutdowns. In Seattle, the restrictions were eased in the beginning of May and in the U.K., the Prime Minister announced on May 10 that restarting construction and manufacturing is explicitly encouraged. As a result of the pandemic, the Company has implemented certain short-term cost reductions, including suspension of any remaining uncommitted 2020 capital expenditure investment, headcount reductions, modified work schedules reducing hours where needed, and furloughs in limited locations. While the Company believes these disruptions will be temporary, it is difficult to predict how long they will last and the impact they will have on the Company in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on its business.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic drove a sustained decline in the Company's stock price and a deterioration in general economic conditions in the fiscal 2020 second quarter, which qualified as a triggering event necessitating the evaluation of its goodwill and long-live assets for indicators of impairment. As a result of the evaluation, the Company conducted a quantitative interim impairment test as of April 30, 2020. Refer to Notes 2 and 8 for further discussion.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.20 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $986,000 in its operating bank account, approximately $436,000 of interest available to pay for franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) and working capital of approximately $1 million.

Through September 30, 2017, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (Note 5) to the Sponsor, $224,403 in loans from the Sponsor, and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in Trust resulted. The Company repaid the loans from the Sponsor in full on August 1, 2017.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet the Company's needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or August 1, 2019. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. InGAAP for complete financial statements. The enclosed statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at April 30, 2020 and for all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentationperiods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from April 7, 2017 (date of inception) through September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicativeeliminated in consolidation.

As a result of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2017.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,Combination, the Company as an emerging growth company, can adoptis the new or revised standard atacquirer for accounting purposes and CPH is the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison ofacquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company’s financial statement with another public companyperformance into two distinct periods, the period up to the Closing Date (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of usingbased on the extended transition period difficult or impossible becausefair value of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Concentration of Credit Risknet assets acquired.

Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. See Note 4 – Business Combinations for a discussion of the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisition of CPH.

As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the accompanying Consolidated Financial instrumentsStatements include a black line division which indicates that potentially subjectthe Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable.

The historical financial information of Industrea prior to the Business Combination (a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a user of the financial statements. SPACs deposit the proceeds from their initial public offerings into a segregated trust account until a business combination occurs, where such funds are then used to pay consideration for the acquiree and/or to pay stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with the business combination. The operations of a SPAC, until the closing of a business combination, other than income from the trust account investments and transaction expenses, are nominal. Accordingly, no other activity in the Company was reported for periods prior to concentrationsDecember 6, 2018 besides CPH’s operations as Predecessor.

Financial InstrumentsPrinciples of consolidation

The fair valueSuccessor Consolidated Financial Statements include all accounts of the Company’s assetsCompany and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurementsits subsidiaries. The Predecessor Consolidated Financial Statements include all accounts of CPH and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimatesestimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsamount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include accrued sales and use taxes, the liability for incurred but unreported claims under various partially self-insured polices, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill impairment analysis, valuation of share-based compensation and accounting for business combinations. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Offering CostsTrade receivables

OfferingTrade receivables are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for their accounts receivable; however, the Company may file statutory liens or take other appropriate legal action when necessary on construction projects in which collection problems arise. A trade receivable is typically considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. The Company does not charge interest on past-due trade receivables.

Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of replacement parts for concrete pumping equipment. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventory and records an allowance for obsolete and slow- moving inventory to account for cost adjustments to market. Based on management’s analysis, no allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory was required as of April 30, 2020 or October 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements

The Financial Accounting Standard Board's (the “FASB”) standard on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This standard establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

Deferred financing costs consisted

Deferred financing costs representing third-party, non-lender debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of legal,the related long-term-debt agreement, and the straight-line method for the revolving credit agreement.

Debt issuance costs, including any original issue discounts, related to term loans are reflected as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the long-term debt liability that is included in long term debt, net of discount for deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities are capitalized and reflected in deferred financing in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the Company evaluates goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses a two-step process to assess the realizability of goodwill. The first step is a qualitative assessment that analyzes current economic indicators associated with a particular reporting unit. For example, the Company analyzes changes in economic, market and industry conditions, business strategy, cost factors, and financial performance, among others, to determine if there are indicators of a significant decline in the fair value of a particular reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates a stable or improved fair value, no further testing is required. If a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company will proceed to the quantitative second step where the fair value of a reporting unit is calculated based on weighted income and market-based approaches. If the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying value, an impairment to goodwill is recorded, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in the reporting unit.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company identified a triggering event from the recent decline in its stock price resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”). As a result, the Company performed an interim step one goodwill impairment analysis in accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for additions and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; however, maintenance and repairs that improve or extend the life of existing assets are capitalized. The carrying amount of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses from property and equipment disposals are recognized in the year of disposal. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost or their estimated fair value (when acquired through a business combination) less accumulated amortization (if finite-lived).

Intangible assets with finite lives, except for customer relationships, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual reviews for impairment. As noted above, the Company identified a triggering event from the recent decline in its stock price and elected to perform an interim impairment test on its indefinite-lived trade names. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.

Impairment of long-lived assets

ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360) requires other long-lived assets to be evaluated for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. If indicators are present, assets are grouped to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other asset groups and cash flows are estimated for each asset group over the remaining estimated life of each asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amount, impairment is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. No indicators of impairment were identified as of April 30, 2020. As noted above, the Company identified a triggering event from the recent decline in its stock price and assessed its long-lived assets for impairment.  Based on the results of the Company’s analysis, long-lived assets were not impaired.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenues primarily from concrete pumping services in both the U.S. and U.K. Additionally, revenue is generated from the Company’s waste management business which consists of service fees charged to customers for the delivery of its pans and containers and the disposal of the concrete waste material.

The Company recognizes revenue from these businesses when all of the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the service has been performed or delivery has occurred, (c) the price is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s delivery terms for replacement part sales are FOB shipping point.

The Company imposes and collects sales taxes concurrent with its revenue-producing transactions with customers and remits those taxes to the various governmental authorities as prescribed by the taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company presents such taxes in its consolidated statement of operations on a net basis. 

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The Company expenses the grant date fair value of the award in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service periods on a straight-line basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur in accordance with ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Income taxes

The Company complies with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires a liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes.

The Company computes deferred income tax assets and liabilities annually for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carryback opportunities, and tax planning strategies in making the assessment. Income tax expense includes both the current income taxes payable or refundable and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized in the consolidated balance sheet if the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination.

The Company's U.K. Operations segment files income tax returns in the U.K. and national statutes are generally open for one year following the statutory filing period.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of Camfaud is the Pound Sterling (GBP). The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using the period end exchange rates for the periods presented, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rate for the periods presented. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and accumulated in other comprehensive income. The functional currency of our other subsidiaries is the United States Dollar.

Earnings per share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is required for entities that have participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company has two classes of stock: (1) Common Stock (comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders) and (2) Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”).

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive.

An anti-dilutive impact is an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities.

Business combinations

The Company applies the principles provided in ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), when a business is acquired. Tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value and goodwill is recognized for any differences between the fair value of consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Transaction costs for business combinations are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805.

Concentrations

As of April 30, 2020, and October 31, 2019, there were two significant vendors that the Company relied upon to purchase concrete pumping boom equipment. However, should the need arise, there are alternate vendors who can provide concrete pumping boom equipment.

Cash balances held at financial institutions may, at times, be in excess of federally insured limits. The Company places its temporary cash balances in high-credit quality financial institutions.

The Company’s customer base is dispersed across the U.S. and U.K. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires no collateral to support credit sales. During the Predecessor and Successor periods described above, no customer represented 10 percent or more of sales or trade receivables.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has opted to take advantage of the extended transition period available to emerging growth companies pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) for new accounting underwriting feesstandards.

Newly adopted accounting pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (ASC 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 requires entities to use a screen test to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business or if the integrated set of assets and activities needs to be further evaluated against the framework. The new standard will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption and is effective for entities other than public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020. As there have been no new business combinations, this ASU has not had an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate this ASU as new business combinations occur.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) related to how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. These cash flow issues include debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for emerging growth companies in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company early adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020 on a retrospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model.

Under ASU 2014-09 and the related clarifying ASUs, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Following the issuance of ASU 2020-05 that deferred the effective date for certain companies, ASU 2014-09 is effective for emerging growth companies that have elected to use private company adoption dates in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and is to be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company expects to adopt the guidance under the modified retrospective approach during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard but does not expect a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which is codified in ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840, Leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for substantially all leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments while the right-of-use asset will be similarly calculated and then adjusted for initial direct costs. In addition, ASC 842 expands the disclosure requirements to increase the transparency and comparability of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases ASC 842: Targeted Improvements, which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

The new standard is effective for emerging growth companies that have elected to use private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company plans to adopt the new standard effective for the year ending October 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), This ASU, along with subsequently issued related ASUs, requires financial assets (or groups of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, among other provisions. This ASU is effective for emerging growth companies that have elected to use private company adoption dates with annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the new standard effective for the year ending October 31, 2022. The amendments of this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other costs incurredtransactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Specifically, to the extent the Company's debt agreements are modified to replace LIBOR with another interest rate index, ASU 2020-04 will permit the Company to account for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis. Companies may generally elect to apply the guidance for periods that include March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the Initial Public Offering thatanticipated impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements as well as timing of adoption.

Note 4. Business Combinations

May 2019 Acquisition of Capital Pumping

On May 15, 2019, the Company acquired Capital Pumping, LP and its affiliates (“Capital”), a concrete pumping provider based in Texas for a purchase price of $129.2 million, which was paid using proceeds from the Company’s public offering of common stock and additional borrowings on its term loan facility. This acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill. Goodwill recorded from the transaction represents expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce.

The following table represents the final allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition-date fair values with any measurement-period adjustments included:

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of $40.0 million and a trade name valued at $5.5 million. The customer relationships were directlyvalued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the useful life of the customer relationships to be 15 years. The trade name was valued using the relief-from-royalty method and the Company determined the trade name associated with Capital to be indefinite.

December 2018 Acquisition of CPH

On December 6, 2018, the Company consummated the Business Combination. This acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values, with any excess recognized as goodwill. Goodwill recorded from the transaction represents the value provided by the Company’s leading market share in a highly-fragmented industry. 

The following table represents the final allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition-date fair values with any measurement-period adjustments included (see paragraph below for any measurement-period adjustments included):

Note: Cash in table above is net of $1.0 million in cash acquired

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of $152.7 million and trade names of $55.4 million. The customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the useful life of the customer relationships to be 15 years. The trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company determined the useful life of the trade name associated with Camfaud to be 10 years. The Company determined the trade names associated with Brundage-Bone and Eco-Pan to be indefinite.

During the Successor period from December 6, 2018 through October 31, 2019, the Company recorded an out of period adjustment related to the Initial Public Offeringreduction of sales tax accrual of $3.4 million that resulted in changes to goodwill and totaled approximately $13.3liabilities assumed in the transaction. The impact of the adjustment was not considered material to the Company's previously issued financial statements.

CPH incurred transaction costs of $14.2 million inclusiveand debt extinguishment costs of $8.05$16.4 million independently prior to the Business Combination.

Additional costs consisting of stock option and other compensation related expenses were recorded in deferred underwriting commissions. Offeringconnection with the Business Combination. These costs were charged to stockholders’ equitysolely contingent upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.business combination and did not include any future service requirements. As such, these costs will be presented “on the line” and are not reflected in either Predecessor or Successor financial statements.  “On the line” describes those expenses triggered by the consummation of a business combination that were incurred by the acquiree, i.e. CPH, that are not recognized in the Statement of Operations of either the Predecessor or Successor as they are not directly attributable to either period but instead were contingent on the Business Combination.

In conjunction with the Business Combination, there were $15.6 million of transaction bonuses and, as a result of a change in control provision for stock-based awards, certain unvested stock-based awards immediately vested, resulting in the recognition of compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million. These expenses were not reflected in either the Predecessor or Successor consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss periods.

Note 5.     Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current accrued liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, which approximates fair value. The Company’s outstanding obligations on its ABL credit facility are deemed to be at fair value as the interest rates on these debt obligations are variable and consistent with prevailing rates. The Company believes the carrying values of its capital lease obligations represent fair value.

The Company's long-term debt instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the consolidated balance sheet, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the long-term debt instruments are derived from Level 2 inputs.  The fair value amount of the Long-term debt instruments at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019 is presented in the table below based on the prevailing interest rates and trading activity of the Term loans.

 In connection with the acquisition of Camfaud in November 2016, former Camfaud shareholders were eligible to receive earnout payments (“deferred consideration”) of up to $3.1 million if certain Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") targets were met. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company reviewed the deferred consideration on a quarterly basis in order to determine its fair value. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which the change was made. The Company estimated the fair value of the deferred consideration based on its probability assessment of Camfaud’s EBITDA achievements during the 3 year earnout period. In developing these estimates, the Company considered its revenue and EBITDA projections, its historical results, and general macro-economic environment and industry trends. This fair value measurement was based on significant revenue and EBITDA inputs not observed in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the deferred consideration was $1.7 million at October 31, 2019, which also represented the date at which the 3-year earnout period ended. The deferred consideration was paid out during the fiscal 2020 first quarter and as such, the liability no longer exists at April 30, 2020.

The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written down to and recorded at fair value.

Note 6. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

The significant components of prepaid expenses and other current assets at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019 are comprised of the following:

Note 7. Property, Plant and Equipment

The significant components of property, plant and equipment at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019 are comprised of the following:

Depreciation expense for the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2020 was $6.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the Successor for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019 and the period from December 6, 2018 to April 30, 2019 was $5.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the Predecessor from November 1, 2018 to December 5, 2018 was $2.1 million. Depreciation expense related to revenue producing machinery and equipment is recorded in cost of operations and an immaterial amount of depreciation expense related to the Company's capital leases and furniture and fixtures is included in general and administrative expenses.

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company recognized goodwill and certain intangible assets in connection with business combinations (see Note 4 - Business Combinations).

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company identified a triggering event from the recent sustained decline in its stock price and deterioration in general economic conditions resulting from COVID-19. As a result, the Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, performed an interim impairment test on its indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets and goodwill as of April 30, 2020.

The valuation methodology used to value the trade-names was based on the relief-from-royalty method which is an income based measure that derives the value from total revenue growth projected and what percentage is attributable to the trade name. As a result of the analysis, the Company identified that the fair value of its Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping trade name was approximately 11.8% below its carrying value and as such, recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.0 million in intangibles impairment in its consolidated statements of operations for both the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2020. The impaired trade name has a remaining value of $37.3 million. In addition, the Company concluded that the fair values of its Eco-Pan and Capital Pumping trade names exceeded their carrying values by approximately 7.8% and 109.1%, respectively, and their remaining values are $7.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

The goodwill impairment test was performed on the Company’s U.S. Concrete Pumping, U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services, and U.K. Operations reporting units. The valuation methodologies used to value the reporting units included the discounted cash flow method (income approach) and the guideline public company method (market approach). As a result of the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company identified that the fair values of its U.S. Concrete Pumping and U.K. Operations reporting units were approximately 6.9% and 14.8% below their carrying values, respectively. As such, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $38.5 million and $14.4 million to its U.S. Concrete Pumping and U.K. Operations reporting units, respectively, in goodwill impairment in its consolidated statements of operations for both the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2020. In addition, the Company concluded that the fair value of its U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 4.5% and, as such, no impairment charge was recorded. The Company will continue to evaluate its goodwill and intangible assets in future quarters and note that the Company could record additional impairments based on events and circumstances, including those related to COVID-19 discussed in Note 1.

The factors leading to the impairment of the Company's goodwill and intangibles were primarily due to (1) lower anticipated future net revenues and earnings in its estimate of future cash flows resulting from COVID-19 and (2) a higher discount rate applied to future cash flows as a result of uncertainties of the overall economic impact from COVID-19. There is inherent uncertainty associated with key assumptions used by the Company in its impairment analyses including the duration of the economic downturn associated with COVID-19 and the recovery period.

The following table summarizes the composition of intangible assets at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019:

Amortization expense for the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2020 was $8.6 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the Successor for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019 and the period from December 6, 2018 to April 30, 2019 was $7.0 million and 11.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the Predecessor from November 1, 2018 to December 5, 2018 was $0.7 million. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets over the next five fiscal years ending October 31 and thereafter is as follows:

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the quarter ended April 30, 2020 are as follows:

Note 9. Long Term Debt and Revolving Lines of Credit

Successor

As part of the Business Combination, the Predecessor’s Revolver, U.K. Revolver, Senior secured notes, and Seller notes (see Predecessor section below for a discussion of these agreements) were all extinguished and the Company entered into (i) a term loan agreement, dated December 6, 2018, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch as administrative agent and Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, Jefferies Finance LLC and Stifel Nicolaus & Company Incorporated LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the other Lenders party thereto and (the “Term Loan Agreement”) (ii) a Credit Agreement, dated December 6, 2018, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, the other Lenders party thereto, and the other parties thereto (“ABL Credit Agreement”). In addition, in order to finance the acquisition of Capital, the Company added $60.0 million of incremental term loans under the Term Loan Agreement in May 2019. Summarized terms of these facilities are included below.

Term Loan Agreement

Summarized terms of the Term Loan Agreement are as follows:

The outstanding balance under the Term Loan Agreement as of April 30, 2020 was $391.7 million and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The Company’s interest on borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest using the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as the base rate plus an applicable margin in line with the summarized terms of the Term Loan Agreement as described above.

Future maturities of the term loans for fiscal years ending October 31 and thereafter is as follows:

ABL Credit Agreement

Summarized terms of the ABL Credit Agreement are as follows:

The outstanding balance under the ABL Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2020 was $39.2 million and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Predecessor

Revolving line of credit

The Predecessor had a revolving loan agreement (the "Revolver"). Summarized terms of the Revolver were as follows:

U.K. Revolver

The Predecessor had a revolving loan agreement (the “U.K. Revolver”) associated with the acquisition of Camfaud in November 2016. The U.K. Revolver had a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $28.0 million and bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%. The U.K. Revolver required the Predecessor maintain a maximum ratio of total fixed charges.

Senior secured notes

In August 2014, the Predecessor issued $140.0 million in senior secured notes through a high-yield bond offering under SEC Rule 144A (“Senior Notes”). In November 2016, the Predecessor issued additional senior secured notes of $40.0 million as an incremental borrowing with the same terms and form as the original Senior Notes.

Summarized terms of the Senior Notes were as follows:

Over the period of January 2016 through September 2017, the Predecessor repurchased and retired approximately $26.0 million, in the aggregate, of principal of the Senior Notes.

In September 2017, the Predecessor completed an exchange of substantially all outstanding existing Senior Notes for newly issued senior secured notes (“New Senior Notes”). The terms of the New Senior Notes were identical to the Senior Notes except that the maturity date was extended to September 1, 2023.

In April 2018, the Predecessor issued additional New Senior Notes with a principal amount of $15.0 million at a 104 percent premium for a total purchase price of $15.6 million. The $0.6 million was recorded by the Predecessor as a debt premium and was amortized over the life of the New Senior Notes using the effective interest method. 

Seller notes

In connection with the acquisitions of the Camfaud and Reilly Concrete Pumping Limited (“Reilly”) in November 2016 and July 2017, respectively, the Predecessor entered into separate loan agreements with the former owners of Camfaud and Reilly for $6.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively (collectively, the “Seller Notes”). The Seller Note with respect to Camfaud bore interest at 5.0% per annum and all principal plus accrued interest was due upon the earlier of; (1) 6 months after the U.K. Revolver is repaid in full, (2) 42 months after the acquisition date (May 2020) or (3) the date on which the Predecessor suffers an insolvency event. The Seller Note with respect to Reilly bore interest at 5.0% per annum and all principal plus accrued interest are due three years after the acquisition date (July 2020). The Seller Notes were unsecured.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company repaid its existing credit facilities in full and replaced them with the Term Loan Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement. The Company accountsalso incurred an aggregate of $16.4 million of costs related to the extinguishment of its existing debts, including the write-off of unamortized borrowing costs and an early extinguishment fee paid to its lenders. The amount has been reflected as debt extinguishment costs in the Predecessor’s consolidated statement of income for the period ended December 5, 2018.

The table below is a summary of the composition of the Company’s long-term debt balances at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019.

Note 10. Accrued Payroll and Payroll Expenses

The following table summarizes accrued payroll and expenses at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019:

Note 11. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

The following table summarizes accrued expenses and other current liabilities at April 30, 2020 and at October 31, 2019: 

Note 12. Income Taxes

For the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.2 million on a pretax loss of $61.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 3.6%. For the same quarter a year ago, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.6 million on a pretax loss of $8.1 million. For the first six months of 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.4 million on a pretax loss of $65.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 5.2%. For the Successor period from December 6, 2018 to April 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million on a pretax loss of $14.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 8.3%. For the Predecessor period from November 1, 2018 to December 5, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.2 million on a pretax loss of $26.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.7%.

The factors impacting comparability between our effective tax rates for the periods discussed above are as follows:

At April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, we had deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, of $65.3 million and $69.0 million, respectively. The decrease in our net deferred tax liability is primarily due to current year operating results and reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period ended April 30, 2020. The Company has a valuation allowance of $0.1 million as of both April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 related to foreign tax credit carryforwards where realization is more uncertain at this time due to the limited carryforward periods that exist.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.7 million as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019. If recognized, none of these benefits would favorably impact the Company's income tax expense.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security “CARES” Act into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, would eliminate the taxable income limit for certain net operating losses (“NOL”) and allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, accelerate refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, generally loosen the business interest limitation under IRC section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent among other technical corrections included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions. The Company has performed the analysis of the CARES Act and has concluded that there is no impact as of April 30, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate how the CARES Act may impact future periods. Also, refer to Note 13.

On March 17, 2020, the House of Commons passed a Budget Resolution under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act of 1968. The Budget Resolution substantively enacted an increase in the U.K. corporate tax rate for tax periods after March 31, 2020 from 17% to 19%. As a result of the Budget Resolution, the Company recorded tax expense of $0.9 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the increase in the U.K. corporate tax rate.

The Company received a demand letter on March 31, 2020 alleging that the Company is required to apply for and remit to the Predecessor’s shareholders certain tax refunds from carrying back certain tax net operating loss carryforwards that were made available as a result of the recent passage of the CARES Act. No complaint against the Company has been filed alleging any claims with respect to this matter. The outcome of this issue is still not determinable at this time because the matter is still under review and no action has been taken by the Company with regards to these potential refunds under the CARES Act.
