Overview and Basis of Presentation	Overview and Basis of Presentation Overview Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, provide turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and hydrogen to multiple end markets across North America. The Company also distributes LNG and hydrogen from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers. The Company is a supplier of LNG and hydrogen solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, industrial, utility, pipeline, mining, energy, remote clean power, and high horsepower transportation markets 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 an improved environmental footprint. Stabilis is vertically integrated from LNG production through distribution including cryogenic equipment rental and field services. Stabilis opened its 100,000 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 currently not in operation. On June 1, 2021 the Company acquired a third LNG production facility in Port Allen, Louisiana. The plant is capable of producing 30,000 gpd. The Company also provides power delivery equipment and services through its subsidiary in Brazil, M&I Electric Brazil Sistemas e Servicios em Energia LTDA (“M&I Brazil”) and its 40% interest in a joint venture in China, BOMAY Electric Industries Co., Ltd. (“BOMAY”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to prevent the information presented herein from being misleading. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 16, 2021. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying 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 is required 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 the Company is subject to 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. The Company's working capital and business risks within the LNG industry 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. The Company has recently experienced its highest ever year-to-date revenue, including a resumption of activity with existing customers as well as new revenue opportunities, particularly in Mexico and with power generation customers. On April 8, 2021, the Company obtained a new advancing loan facility, pursuant to the United States Department of Agriculture, Business & Industry Loan Program, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million, of which $7.0 million was drawn and outstanding as of September 30, 2021. The Company's management believes that current working capital, access to its advancing loan facility and revenue growth of the business will generate sufficient cash flows to fund the business for the next 12 months. Reclassifications Presentation of certain prior year amounts have been condensed on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows herein to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 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, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Income Taxes The Company records income taxes for interim periods based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate is recomputed on a quarterly basis and may fluctuate due to changes in forecasted annual operating income, positive or negative changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, the timing of distributions on foreign investments from which foreign taxes are withheld, and changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 7.0% and 3.9%, respectively. The 2021 rate reflects state and foreign income taxes. No U.S. federal income tax benefit was recorded for the periods presented as any net U.S. deferred tax assets generated from operating losses were offset by a change in the Company's valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.
