Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and Contingencies | (13) Commitments and Contingencies ​ (a) Major Customers ​ We did not have revenue from any single customer representing 10% or more of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. ​ (b) Litigation ​ From time to time, we and our subsidiaries may be involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ​ (c) Equipment Purchase Commitments ​ Our future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for new compression units and serialized parts ordered but not received. Those commitments as of September 30, 2019 were $47.7 million, $7.8 million of which we expect to settle in the remainder of 2019. ​ (d) Sales Tax Contingency ​ Our compliance with state and local sales tax regulations is subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Office of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (“Comptroller”) has claimed that specific operational processes, which we and others in our industry regularly conduct, result in transactions that are subject to state sales taxes. We and other companies in our industry have disputed these claims based on existing tax statutes which provide for manufacturing exemptions on the transactions in question. The manufacturing exemptions are based on the fact that our natural gas compression equipment is used in the process of preparing natural gas for ultimate use and sale. ​ The USA Compression Predecessor has several open audits with the Comptroller for certain periods prior to the Transactions Date wherein the Comptroller has challenged the applicability of the manufacturing exemption. Any liability for the periods prior to the Transactions Date is covered by an indemnity between us and ETO. As of September 30, 2019, we have recorded a $44.9 million accrued liability and $44.9 million related party receivable from ETO. ​ For more information, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2018 Annual Report. ​ (e) Self-Insurance ​ Effective January 1, 2019, we became self-insured for medical claims up to certain stop loss limits. Liabilities are accrued for self-insured claims when sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. As of September 30, 2019, we have recorded a $0.8 million accrued liability. ​
