| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, provide turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets across North America. The Company also distributes LNG from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers. The Company is a supplier of LNG solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, industrial, utility, pipeline, mining, energy, remote clean power, and high horsepower transportation markets in North America and provides turnkey fuel solutions to help industrial users of propane, diesel and other crude-based fuel products convert to LNG, which may result in reduced fuel costs and an improved environmental footprint. Stabilis is vertically integrated from LNG production through distribution including cryogenic equipment rental and field services. Stabilis operates an LNG production facility in George West, Texas to service customers in Texas and the greater Gulf Coast region. On June 1, 2021 the Company closed on the purchase of an LNG production facility in Port Allen, Louisiana. The Company also provides power delivery equipment and services through its subsidiary in Brazil, M&I Electric Brazil Sistemas e Servicios em Energia LTDA (“M&I Brazil”) and its 40% interest in a joint venture in China, BOMAY Electric Industries Co., Ltd. (“BOMAY”). On July 26, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company completed the Share Exchange with American Electric Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("American Electric"). In the Share Exchange, American Electric acquired directly 100% of the outstanding limited liability company membership interests of Stabilis Energy, LLC (“Stabilis LLC”) from LNG Investment Company, LLC (“LNG Investment”) and 20% of the outstanding limited liability membership interests of PEG Partners, LLC (“PEG”) from AEGIS NG LLC (“AEGIS”). AEGIS owned a 20% noncontrolling interest of PEG. The remaining 80% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of PEG were owned directly by Stabilis LLC. As a result, Stabilis LLC became a direct 100% owned subsidiary of American Electric and PEG became an indirectly-owned 100% subsidiary of American Electric. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, American Electric issued 13,178,750 post-split shares of common stock to acquire Stabilis LLC, which represented approximately 90% of the total amount of common stock of American Electric which was issued and outstanding as of July 26, 2019. The transaction was approved by the shareholders of American Electric at a Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Share Exchange resulted in a change of control of American Electric to control by Casey Crenshaw by virtue of his beneficial ownership of 88.4% of the common stock of American Electric outstanding as of July 26, 2019. Because the former owners of Stabilis LLC owned 88.4% of the voting stock of the combined company immediately following the Effective Date and certain other factors including, that directors designated by LNG Investment constituted a majority of the board of directors, Stabilis LLC is treated as the acquiror of American Electric in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, the Share Exchange is treated by American Electric as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is required to make certain disclosures if it concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses, has negative working capital and is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the current LNG industry. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. These factors were reviewed by management to determine if there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management concluded that its plan to address the Company’s liquidity issues would allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has recently experienced its highest ever revenue, including a resumption of activity with existing customers as well as new revenue opportunities, particularly in Mexico and with power generation customers. Further, the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. On April 8, 2021, the Company obtained a new advancing loan facility, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million, of which $8.0 million was drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The Company's management believes that it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations, and that its current working capital, access to its advancing loan facility and revenue growth of the business will generate sufficient cash to fund the business for 12 months following the date of issuance of these financial statements. Reclassifications Presentation of certain prior year amounts have been reclassified or combined into one line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows herein to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations and asset acquisitions, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts held with major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its deposits of cash and cash equivalents in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. (c) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recognized when products are sold. The Company extends credit to many of its customers in the ordinary course of business. Generally, these sales are unsecured. Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. At December 31, 2021 our allowance for bad debts was $0.2 million. At December 31, 2020, management believed all balances were fully collectible such that no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary. (d) Inventories LNG inventory consists of LNG produced that is either (1) in a storage container at our plant or (2) in a storage trailer that is in transit to a customer. Inventory quantities are measured at each reporting period and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Power delivery inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with material value determined using an average cost method. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, inventory is primarily raw materials for use on service jobs in Brazil. (e) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions, renewals, and capital improvements are capitalized, whereas expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the applicable remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, plant, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flows basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flows models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (f) Goodwill Our balance of goodwill was $4.5 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, and intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. All of our goodwill was recognized from business acquisitions during the third quarter of 2019 and is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. A triggering event occurs when there are changes in circumstances or events that indicate the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. Based upon review of qualitative factors, no impairments of goodwill were identified for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (g) Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheet unless we are reasonably certain at inception of the lease that we will renew the lease for a period that extends the initial term longer than 12 months All leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, whether classified as operating or finance, are recorded to our consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, determined at lease commencement. Determination of the present value of lease payments requires a discount rate. We use the implicit rate in the lease agreement when available. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate; therefore, we use a weighted average borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. Certain of our leases contain non-lease components which are not separated from the lease components when calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability per our use of the practical expedient to combine both components of an arrangement for all classes of leased assets. See also Note 10 for a further discussion or our leases. (h) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts 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. Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG product (2) rental, service, and other, and (3) power delivery. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the sale of LNG at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. In evaluating when a customer has control of the asset, the Company primarily considers whether the transfer of legal title and physical delivery has occurred, whether the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership, and whether the customer accepted delivery and a right of payment exists. Revenues from the providing of services, transportation and equipment to customers is recognized as the service is performed. Revenue is measured as consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days. See also Note 2 for a further discussion of our revenues. (i) Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition. The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and in the state of Texas. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities for years after 2017. (j) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing net income available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options and warrants were exercised. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our earnings per share and our diluted earnings per share were the same as we had no dilutive securities because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect. See also Note 14 for a further discussion of common shares and other securities. (k) Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. (l) Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in the fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels in accordance with U.S. GAAP: Level 1 Inputs —Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs — Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby, allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable and finance lease obligations approximates fair value because the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, are measured at fair value using quoted market prices or, to the extent that there are no available quoted market prices, market prices for similar assets or liabilities. (m) Foreign Currency Gains and Losses Foreign currency translations are included as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). The Company has determined the local currency of its foreign subsidiaries and foreign joint ventures to be the functional currency. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 830), the assets and liabilities of the foreign equity investees and foreign subsidiaries, denominated in foreign currency, are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date and net sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. (n) Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. See also Note 14 for further discussion of our stock-based compensation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (a) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU No. 2019-12 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. (b) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU No. 2020-04”), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, Stabilis has not elected to early adopt the standard. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. if any. |
