Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Business Outlook | Business Outlook Given the ongoing challenging business environment in several of our core segments, our primary focus continues to be generating liquidity and securing meaningful backlog in the near-term and generating cash flows from operations in the longer-term. Beginning in 2015 and through the date of this Report, we have implemented a number of initiatives to strategically reposition the Company to attract new customers, participate in the buildup of petrochemical facilities, pursue offshore wind markets, enter the EPC industry and diversify our customers within our Shipyard Division. Additionally, we initiated efforts to rebuild liquidity, preserve cash and lower costs including reducing our workforce, reducing the compensation paid to our directors and the salaries of our executive officers as well as developing a plan to sell certain underutilized assets. On April 20, 2018, we closed the sale of our Texas South Yard for a sales price of $55 million, less selling costs of $1.5 million. We received approximately $52.7 million at closing, which was in addition to the $750,000 of earnest money previously received on January 3, 2018, related to the option to purchase the Texas South Yard. We plan to use the net proceeds to rebuild our liquidity, to support upcoming projects, continue investing in our newly created EPC Division and for other general corporate purposes. See further discussion of our the sale of our Texas South Yard in Note 2. We currently believe that cash on hand coupled with proceeds received from the sale of our Texas South Yard and funds available under our Credit Agreement will enable the Company to meet its working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, any debt service obligations and other funding requirements for at least twelve months from the date of this Report. If industry conditions for offshore oil and gas do not improve, we are unable to sell our Texas North Yard or the sale is delayed, or we are unable to increase our backlog, we would expect to take additional measures to preserve our cash flows until such time when we are able to generate cash flows from operations.
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” 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. Revenue from our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the significant inputs method which measures the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours for each contract. Revenue from T&M contracts is recognized at the contracted rates as the work is performed, the costs are incurred and when collection is reasonably assured. We adopted Topic 606, as required, effective January 1, 2018. Our implementation included a detailed review of our significant contracts that were not substantially complete. We concluded that Topic 606 did not impact the timing of recognition of revenue from T&M contracts which is recognized as the work is performed and the costs are incurred at the contracted rates. Our evaluation concluded revenue from our fixed-price and unit-rate contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, computed by measuring the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours for each contract is still appropriate. Adoption of Topic 606, however, did require us to include contract labor amounts and certain costs from outside services within our measure of progress of percent complete in order to comply with Topic 606. Previously, we treated certain of these costs as "pass-through costs." Our assessment of these costs for the significant contracts in place at the time of adoption concluded that adoption of Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018, was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and no cumulative adjustment was required. To the extent our contracts in future periods have significant contract labor and outside services, the timing of recognition of revenues and costs of revenues could be materially impacted. See Note 3 for further discussion regarding the adoption of Topic 606. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses in a manner similar to current guidance. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures; however, we expect to record our lease obligations on our balance sheet. 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 trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities 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 for most financing receivables. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We have not elected to early adopt this guidance. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
