BASIS OF PRESENTATION | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Deep Down,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed on March 31, 2017 with the Commission. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, then the actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Segments For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had one operating and reporting segment, Deep Down Delaware. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). This update provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and requires expanded disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue (and the related cash flows) arising from customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments used in applying the revenue model and the assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date for this standard was deferred in July 2015 and will now be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. The standard provides for different application methods during adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact this new pronouncement will have on our financial statements. We are reviewing our existing contracts to identify any that may be impacted by this standard, and evaluating new contracts we are negotiating to ensure compliance with this standard. We have not completed our full evaluation and therefore cannot conclude whether the pronouncement will have a significant impact on our financial statements at this time, but we expect requirements of this standard to significantly enhance our revenue disclosures. We currently anticipate that we will utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption, however, this expectation may change following the completion of our evaluation of the impact of this pronouncement on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update require, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material effect on our results of operations, however we are still evaluating the impact on our financial position. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” This update requires that income tax consequences are recognized on an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations.” This new ASU clarified the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for us January 1, 2018 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). This update clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. We are currently evaluating the effect of ASU No. 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt ASU 2017-05 in conjunction with ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. This update clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification, as an entity instrument or a liability instrument, of the modified award are the same before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the share-based payment award. The new standard is effective for us January 1, 2018. We do not expect ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
