Operating Leases

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has several non-cancelable operating leases (as lessor and as lessee), primarily associated with sale/leaseback transactions that are partially secured by restricted cash (see also Note 1) as summarized below.  These leases expire over the next six years. Minimum rent payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease.  Leases where the Company is the lessor contain termination clauses with associated penalties, the amount of which cause the likelihood of cancelation to be remote.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of June 30, 2016 are (in thousands):

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, prepaid rent and security deposits associated with sale/leaseback transactions were $11.8 million and $12.1 million, respectively, and are included in other current and noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Finance Obligations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into sale/leaseback transactions, which were accounted for as capital leases.  These transactions represented project financing as referenced in Note 7.  The outstanding balance of the finance obligation at June 30, 2016 was $24.0 million.  The fair value of the finance obligation approximates the carrying value as of June 30, 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company received cash for future services to be performed associated with certain sale/leaseback transactions and recorded the balance as a finance obligation.  The outstanding balance of this obligation at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is $14.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.  The amount is amortized using the effective interest method.

 

In 2013, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction of its property in Latham, New York, for an aggregate sale price of $4.5 million. Although the property was sold and the Company has no legal ownership of the facility, the Company was prohibited from recording the transaction as a sale because of continuing involvement with the property.  Accordingly, the sale has been accounted for as a financing transaction, which requires the Company to continue reporting the building as an asset and to record a financing obligation for the sale price. Liabilities relating to this agreement of $2.4 million and $2.5 million have been recorded as a finance obligation, in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company has entered into sale/leaseback agreements associated with its products and services.  In connection with these agreements, cash of $46.9 million is required to be restricted as security and will be released over the lease term.  Included in the $46.9 million are security deposits backing letters of credit, as disclosed in the Operating Leases section above.

 

The Company also has letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $1.0 million associated with an agreement to provide hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen to a customer at its distribution center and with a finance obligation from the sale/leaseback of its building.  Cash collateralizing these letters of credit is also considered restricted cash.

 

Litigation

 

Legal matters are defended and handled in the ordinary course of business.  The Company has established accruals for matters for which management considers a loss to be probable and reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation, after taking into account insurance coverage and the aforementioned accruals, will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables exist due to the limited number of select customers with whom the Company has initial commercial sales arrangements. To mitigate credit risk, the Company performs appropriate evaluation of a prospective customer’s financial condition.

 

At June 30, 2016, three customers comprise approximately 50.8% of the total accounts receivable balance, with each customer individually representing 20.6%,  17.8% and 12.4% of total accounts receivable, respectively.  At December 31, 2015, two customers comprise approximately 50.9% of the total accounts receivable balance, with each customer individually representing 38.5% and 12.4% of total accounts receivable, respectively. 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, 49.4% of total consolidated revenues were associated with Walmart and one other customer, with each representing 38.6% and 10.8% of total consolidated revenues, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015, 95.1% of total consolidated revenues were associated with Walmart and two other customers, with each representing 68.8%,  16.1%, and 10.2% of total consolidated revenues, respectively.
