Overview and Basis of Presentation | Overview and Basis of Presentation Overview Stabilis Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, market, and sell liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). The Company also resells liquefied natural gas from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers. The Company is a supplier of LNG to the industrial, midstream, and oilfield sectors in North America and provides turnkey fuel solutions to help industrial users of propane, diesel and other crude-based fuel products convert to LNG, which may result in reduced fuel costs and improved environmental footprint. Stabilis opened its 120,000 gallons per day ("gpd") LNG production facility in George West, Texas in January 2015 to service industrial and oilfield customers in Texas and the greater Gulf Coast region. The Company owns a second liquefaction plant capable of producing 25,000 gpd that is being relocated and currently not in operation. Stabilis is vertically integrated from LNG production through distribution including cryogenic equipment rental and field services. As a result of the business combination with American Electric Technologies, Inc. (“American Electric”) discussed below, we also provide power delivery solutions to the global energy industry through our wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, M&I Electric Brazil Sistemas e Servicios em Energia LTDA (“M&I Brazil”) and our joint venture in China, BOMAY Electric Industries Co., Ltd. (“BOMAY”) with a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Company. On July 26, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Share Exchange with American Electric and its subsidiaries was completed. In the Share Exchange, American Electric acquired directly 100% of the outstanding limited liability company membership interests of Stabilis Energy, LLC (“Stabilis LLC”) from LNG Investment Company, LLC ("LNG Investment") and 20% of the outstanding limited liability membership interests of PEG Partners, LLC ("PEG") from AEGIS NG LLC ("AEGIS"). AEGIS owned a 20% noncontrolling interest of PEG. The remaining 80% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of PEG were owned directly by Stabilis LLC. As a result, Stabilis became a direct 100% owned subsidiary of American Electric and Prometheus became an indirectly-owned 100% subsidiary of American Electric. Under the Share Exchange Agreement entered into on December 17, 2018 and amended on May 8, 2019, (as amended, the “Share Exchange Agreement”), American Electric issued 13,178,750 post-split shares of common stock to acquire Stabilis LLC, which represented approximately 90% of the total amount of common stock of American Electric which was issued and outstanding as of July 26, 2019. The proposed transaction was approved by the shareholders of American Electric at a Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Share Exchange resulted in a change of control of American Electric to control by Casey Crenshaw by virtue of his beneficial ownership of 88.4% of the common stock of American Electric to be outstanding as of July 26, 2019. Immediately following the Effective Date, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio of one-for-eight, American Electric changed its name to Stabilis Energy, Inc., and our common stock began trading under the ticker symbol “SLNG”. Because the former owners of Stabilis LLC own 88.4% of the voting stock of the combined company and certain other factors including that directors designated by LNG Investment will constitute a majority of the board of directors, Stabilis LLC is considered to be acquiring American Electric in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, the Share Exchange will be treated by American Electric as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). In addition, the Company’s shares outstanding now reflect a one-for-eight reverse split. Unless otherwise noted, any share or per share amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split. For further information regarding this transaction, see Note 3. Basis of Presentation The financial information represents the historical results of Stabilis for periods prior to the transaction. The operations of American Electric are included in our financial statements from the completion of the Share Exchange on July 26, 2019. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2019, and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period or for any future year. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted, but the resultant disclosures contained herein are in accordance with US GAAP as they apply to interim reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company's Current Report filed as Form 8-K/A on October 7, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), effective January 1, 2017, which requires the Company to make certain disclosures if it concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has negative working capital. The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the current LNG industry. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. These factors were reviewed by management to determine if there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management concluded that its plan to address the Company’s liquidity issues would allow it to continue as a going concern. Those plans include projected positive cash flows from operations and steps to reduce the Company's debt. Cash flows from operations have continued to improve due to sales volumes. Management believes that its business will continue to grow and will generate sufficient cash flows to fund future operations. On November 30, 2018, related party debt holders converted $48.7 million of debt to equity to improve the Company’s financial position and reduce its future debt service requirements. In August 2017 the Company negotiated and amended to its promissory note to Chart Industries, Inc. (“Chart”). This amendment reduced and extended its mandatory debt service payments to provide future payments that management believes are sustainable based on current and projected operating performance. On August 5, 2019, we entered into an exchange agreement with Chart for the satisfaction of indebtedness in the principal amount of $7 million in exchange for shares of our common stock. Additionally, on August 16, 2019, the Company issued a Secured Promissory Note to M/G Finance Co., Ltd. in the principal amount of $5 million, Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, and valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cashflows.
