NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 1: | 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 June 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 and are still evaluating the impact on our financial position.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
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.

NOTE 4: | LONG-TERM DEBT |
Credit Facility
From 2008 through June 30, 2016, we maintained a credit facility (the “Facility”) with Whitney Bank.
In March 2016, we paid all borrowings under the Facility with proceeds received from the sale of our Channelview location. Following the expiration of the Facility on June 30, 2016, we no longer have any credit facilities available to us.
NOTE 5: | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION |
We have a share-based compensation plan, the “2003 Directors, Officers and Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant and Stock Award Plan” (the “Plan”). Awards of common stock and options to purchase common stock granted under the Plan have vesting periods of three years and options are exercisable for two years once fully vested. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is based on the fair value at the date of grant, and is recognized over the requisite expected service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Under the Plan, the total number of options permitted is 15 percent of issued and outstanding common shares.
Summary of Nonvested Shares of Restricted Stock
On May 2, 2017, we granted 30 shares of restricted stock to an independent director, par value $0.001 per share. These shares have a fair value grant price of $1.15 per share, based on the closing price of Deep Down’s stock on that day. These shares vest over three years in equal tranches on the grant date anniversary, with continued service on our Board of Directors; we are amortizing the related share-based compensation of $33 over the three-year requisite service period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized a total of $67 and $274, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized estimated fair value of nonvested shares of restricted stock awards was $106 at June 30, 2017. These costs are expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 0.48 years.
NOTE 6: | TREASURY STOCK |
On May 23, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) under which we were originally authorized to repurchase up to $1,000 of our outstanding stock. Subsequently, on March 29, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a renewal and extension of the Repurchase Program for an additional $1,000 until March 31, 2018. The purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Repurchase Program is being funded from cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2017, a total of $1,125 of our stock (1,085 shares) has been purchased under the Repurchase Program. The average price per share of treasury stock through June 30, 2017 was $1.05. Treasury shares are accounted for using the cost method.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 7: | INCOME TAXES |
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to interim period operations. The estimated annual effective income tax rate may vary from the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent items relative to our pre-tax income, as well as by any valuation allowance recorded. We employ an asset and liability approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis of those assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although our future projections indicate that we may be able to realize some of these deferred tax assets, due to the degree of uncertainty of these projections, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 management has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
NOTE 8: | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Litigation
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. As of the date of this Report, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
Operating Leases
We lease certain offices, facilities, equipment and vehicles under non-cancellable operating and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2023.
NOTE 9: | EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (warrants, nonvested stock awards and stock options) outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock and all nonvested stock awards vest.
At June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Industry and Executive Outlook
Not too long ago, it would have been hard to imagine $50 per barrel of oil being viewed as a positive benchmark. But in a day when major projects are being sanctioned at break-even prices around $40 per barrel, the industry has become accustomed to the current price levels, and has found ways to adjust operations to these prices.
One unintended consequence of the recent slowdown has been the immense knowledge drain out of the industry, and the subsequent knowledge gap within many organizations. This is leading to project decision making taking longer than in the past, thus pushing projects farther and farther into the future.
While we were able to realize markedly improved gross margins during the first half of the year, delays in contract executions will likely hamper our performance during the latter part of the year. While we are engaged in discussions around several large projects, our customers are increasingly pushing these projects into 2018.
Our backlog of contracted projects has continued to shrink, even as we are called upon to provide more and more solutions in the inspection, maintenance and repair market. These solutions are executed on short notice, so while we may not be in a position to cumulatively forecast them, we expect to perform a significant number of these kinds of projects over the foreseeable future. Our customers are increasingly looking to extend the life of their existing fields, and are appreciative of our ability to service equipment built by the different equipment manufacturers, given our long history of working with these companies.
Similarly, we have recently been in serious discussions with operators in emerging oil frontiers, and expect to see increased activity in these areas. A common theme has been the challenge of getting the multinational equipment manufacturers to simply service their existing assets, rather than proposing new equipment requiring significant capital investments; a challenge whose solution is within our core expertise.
We therefore anticipate focusing more on service projects, and feel confident that our strong balance sheet, and continuous organizational optimization efforts, will enable us to continue being a preferred solution provider, as we continue creating the most value for our customers, shareholders and employees.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $5,379 compared to revenues of $5,968 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $589, or 11 percent, decrease was primarily the result of fewer jobs in process in 2017.
8 |
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,663, or 50 percent of revenues, compared to $1,941, or 33 percent of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Despite the lower revenues in 2017, the $722 increase in gross profit, or 17 percent gross profit percentage respectively, was due primarily to a larger portion of higher margin service work in 2017 compared to 2016 and resolution of an outstanding customer issue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $2,223, or 41 percent of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,378, or 40 percent of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $155 decrease in 2017 resulted primarily from lower rent expense, professional fees, and stock-based compensation, offset by a marginal increase in advertising fees.
Modified EBITDA. Our management evaluates our performance based on a non-GAAP measure which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common shareholders before net interest expense, income taxes, non-cash share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or loss of joint venture, non-cash impairments, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items and one-time charges (“Modified EBITDA”). This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing or financing activities, or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The amounts included in the Modified EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We believe Modified EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. It helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest); asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization); actions that do not affect liquidity (share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or loss of joint venture) from our operating results; and it helps investors identify items that are within our operational control. Depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase or acquisition in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Modified EBITDA (EBITDA loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
June 30, | ||||||||
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Net income (loss) | $ | 476 | $ | (542 | ) | |||

Add back income tax expense | 5 | 5 | ||||||
Add back share-based compensation | 33 | 119 | ||||||
Modified EBITDA ( EBITDA loss) | $ | 904 | $ | (28 | ) |
Modified EBITDA was $904 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to Modified EBITDA loss of $(28) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $932 increase in Modified EBITDA was due primarily to the increase in net income, which was driven by increased gross profit and lower SG&A expenses, as discussed previously.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $10,987 compared to revenues of $10,323 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $664, or 6 percent, increase was primarily a result of the commencement of service portions of certain large projects during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which included long-term rental of our equipment.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $5,307, or 48 percent of revenues, compared to gross profit of $3,374, or 33 percent of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The higher margins during the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to our increased revenues, a larger proportion of higher margin service work, and the resolution of an outstanding customer issue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4,732, or 43 percent of revenues, compared to $5,166, or 50 percent of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $434 decrease in 2017 resulted primarily due to a reduction in certain SG&A salaries and rent expense incurred in 2016, related to the sale and move from our Channelview location in 2016, we did not incur in 2017.
Equity in net income of joint venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded $94 of equity in net income of joint venture, related to net income, for the year ended December 31, 2016, of Cuming Flotation Technologies, LLC, in which we previously owned a 20 percent interest.
Other income (expense). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment of $1,070 related to the sale of our Channelview location.
Modified EBITDA. As noted above, our management evaluates our performance based on Modified EBITDA. This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing or financing activities, or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The amounts included in the Modified EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Modified EBITDA (EBITDA loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:
Six Months Ended | ||||||||

2017 | 2016 | |||||||

Add back share-based compensation | 67 | 274 | ||||||
Modified EBITDA (EBITDA loss) | $ | 1,369 | $ | (906 | ) |
Modified EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,369 compared to Modified EBITDA loss of $(906) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $2,275 increase was primarily due to the 2016 impact of the gain on the sale of assets from our Channelview property and increased net income, as previously discussed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Historically, we have supplemented the financing of our capital needs through debt and equity financings.
From 2008 through June 30, 2016, we maintained a credit facility (the “Facility”) with Whitney Bank.
In March 2016, we paid all borrowings under the Facility with proceeds received from the sale of our Channelview location. Following the expiration of the Facility on June 30, 2016, we no longer have any credit facilities available to us.
As a result of cash we expect to generate from operations, we believe we will have adequate liquidity to meet our future operating requirements.
Inflation and Seasonality
We do not believe that our operations are significantly impacted by inflation. Our business is not significantly seasonal in nature.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates used in our financial statements relate to revenue recognition where we use percentage-of completion accounting on our large fixed-price contracts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. These estimates require judgments, which we base on historical experience and on various other assumptions, as well as specific circumstances. Estimates may change as new events occur, additional information becomes available or operating environments change.
Refer to Part II. Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Except as set forth in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has not yet determined whether recently issued accounting standards, which are not yet effective, will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Share Repurchase Program
On May 23, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $1,000 of our outstanding stock. Subsequently, on March 29, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a renewal and extension of the Repurchase Program for an additional $1,000 until March 31, 2018. The purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Repurchase Program is being funded from cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities.
As of June 30, 2017, a total of $1,125 of our stock (1,085 shares) has been purchased under the Repurchase Program.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and the principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that control objectives are attained. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Although the internal controls over financial reporting were not audited, the Company’s management, including the principal executive and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” Upon evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2017.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officer, have concluded there were no changes in internal control during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017.
