PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Our Company
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) is an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets across North America. We have safely delivered over 360 million gallons of LNG through more than 36,000 truck deliveries during our 17-year operating history, which we believe makes us one of the largest and most experienced small-scale LNG providers in North America. We define “small-scale” LNG production to include liquefiers that produce less than 1,000,000 LNG gallons per day and “small-scale” LNG distribution to include distribution by trailer or tank container up to 15,000 LNG gallons or marine vessels that carry less than 8,000,000 LNG gallons. We provide LNG solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, industrial, utility, pipeline, mining, energy, remote clean power, and high horsepower transportation markets. Our customers use LNG as a partner fuel for renewable energy, and as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil and propane, to reduce harmful environmental emissions and lower fuel costs. Our customers also use LNG as a “virtual pipeline” solution when natural gas pipelines are not available or are curtailed. We also have the capability, knowledge and expertise to deliver other clean energy fuels still in commercial development such as hydrogen, renewable natural gas and synthetic natural gas.
We also provide electrical switch-gear, generator and instrumentation construction, installation and service to the marine, power generation, oil and gas, and broad industrial market segments in Brazil. Our products are used to safely distribute and control the flow of electricity from a power generation source to mechanical devices utilizing the power. We also offer a range of electrical and instrumentation turnarounds, maintenance and renovation projects.
Additionally, we build power and control systems for the energy industry in China through our 40% interest in our Chinese joint venture, BOMAY Electric Industries, Inc (“BOMAY”).
Our Industry
LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is not available, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. LNG can also be used to replace a variety of alternative fuels, including distillate fuel oil (including diesel fuel and other fuel oils) and propane, among others to provide both environmental and economic benefits. We believe that these alternative fuel markets are large and provide significant opportunities for LNG substitution.
In addition, other clean energy solutions such as hydrogen will play an increasingly important role in the energy transition as clean energy initiatives increase globally. We believe that LNG as well as other clean energy solutions will provide an important balance between environmental sustainability, security and accessibility, and economic viability and will play a key role in the energy transition.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
On July 26, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), we completed a share exchange with American Electric Technologies, Inc. (“American Electric”) and its subsidiaries (the "Share Exchange"). 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 LLC became a direct 100% owned subsidiary of American Electric and PEG became an indirectly-owned 100% subsidiary of American Electric. Under 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 declared 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 its common stock began trading under the ticker symbol “SLNG.” The change of name did not result in changes to the Company’s CUSIP number for the Company’s
6

outstanding shares of common stock. The Company subsequently changed its name to Stabilis Solutions, Inc. Our common stock traded under the symbol “SLNG” on the Nasdaq Stock Market from July 29, 2019 to October 2, 2019. On October 3, 2019 the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the same symbol. On April 26, 2021, the Company was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the same symbol.
Because the former owners of Stabilis LLC owned 88.4% of the voting stock of the combined company immediately following the Effective Date, and certain other factors including that directors designated by LNG Investment constitute a majority of the post-closing board of directors, Stabilis LLC is treated as the acquiror of American Electric in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, the Share Exchange is treated by American Electric as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
On August 20, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Diversenergy, LLC (“Diversenergy”) and its subsidiaries. Diversenergy specializes in LNG distribution, providing LNG to customers who use it as a fuel in mobile high horsepower applications and to customers who do not have natural gas pipeline access. We purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Diversenergy for total consideration of 684,963 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.0 million at the closing date and $2.0 million in cash. The completion of the acquisition expanded the Company's presence in the distributed LNG and compressed natural gas (“CNG”) markets in Mexico.
On June 1, 2021, the Company closed on the purchase of an LNG production facility in Port Allen, Louisiana. The acquisition included an LNG liquefaction facility, the related assets and real property. The Company paid consideration of $5.0 million in cash plus legal fees and closing costs of approximately $0.1 million and 500,000 shares of Company common stock, which shares were valued at $3.8 million.
OUR BUSINESS
During 2021, the Company operated and managed its business through two operating segments: LNG and Power Delivery.
LNG Segment
Stabilis is an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions to multiple end markets in North America through its LNG segment. Our diverse customer base utilizes LNG solutions as a fuel source in a variety of applications in the aerospace, industrial, utilities and pipelines, mining, energy, remote clean power and high horsepower transportation markets. Our customers use LNG as a partner fuel for renewable energy and as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as diesel, fuel oil, and propane, to reduce harmful environmental emissions and to lower fuel costs. Our customers also use LNG as a “virtual pipeline” solution when natural gas pipelines are not available or are curtailed. We provide multiple products and services to our customers, including:
LNG Production, LNG Sales—Stabilis builds and operates cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, called “liquefiers”, which convert natural gas into LNG through a multiple stage cooling process.
We currently own and operate a liquefier that can produce up to 100,000 LNG gallons per day in George West, Texas and a liquefier that can produce up to 30,000 LNG gallons per day in Port Allen, Louisiana, which was purchased on June 1, 2021. We also purchase LNG from third-party production sources which allows us to support customers in markets where we do not own liquefiers.
Transportation and Logistics Services—Stabilis offers its customers a “virtual natural gas pipeline” by providing them with turnkey LNG transportation and logistics services in North America. We deliver LNG to our customers’ work sites from both our own production facility and our network of approximately 37 third-party production sources located throughout North America. We own a fleet of LNG fueled trucks and cryogenic trailers to transport and deliver LNG. We also outsource similar equipment and transportation services for LNG from qualified third-party providers as required to support our customer base.
Cryogenic Equipment Rental—Stabilis owns and operates a rental fleet of approximately 162 mobile LNG storage and vaporization assets, including: transportation trailers, electric and gas-fired vaporizers, ambient vaporizers, storage tanks, and mobile vehicle fuelers. We also own several stationary storage and regasification assets. We believe this is one of the largest fleets of small-scale LNG equipment in North America. Our fleet consists primarily of trailer-mounted mobile assets, making delivery to and between customer locations more efficient. We deploy these assets on job sites to provide our customers with the equipment required to transport, store, and consume LNG in their fueling operations. Our equipment is designed specifically for use in small-scale LNG applications and includes the safety and operational features that our customers and our regulators require.

The table below details our mobile asset base by type and number of assets at December 31, 2021.

Asset Type |  | Qty |  | Description
Mobile Storage and Vaporization Units |  | 93 |  |  | Located on customer sites for storage and delivery of LNG fuel
Transport Trailers |  | 50 |  |  | Deliver LNG from production sources to customer sites
Mobile Truck Fuelers |  | 10 |  |  | Mobile fueling station used to fill heavy duty trucks
Other Cryogenic Assets |  | 9 |  |  | Includes hose reels, pump skids, generators, and other
Total |  | 162 |  |  |

Engineering and Field Support Services—Stabilis has experience in the safe, cost effective, and reliable use of LNG in multiple customer applications. We have also developed many processes and procedures that we believe improve our customers’ use of LNG in their operations. Our engineers help our customers design and integrate LNG into their fueling operations and our field service technicians help our customers mobilize, commission and reliably operate on the job site.
Stabilis generates revenue by selling and delivering LNG to our customers. We also generate revenue by renting cryogenic equipment and providing engineering and field support services. We sell our products and services separately or as a bundle depending on the customer’s needs. LNG pricing depends on market pricing for natural gas and competing fuel sources (such as diesel, fuel oil, and propane among others), as well as the customer’s purchased volume, contract duration and credit profile.
Stabilis’ customers use LNG in their operations for multiple reasons, including lower and more stable fuel costs, reduced environmental emissions, and improved operating performance. We serve customers in a variety of end markets, including aerospace, industrial, energy, mining, remote clean power, utilities and pipelines, and high horsepower transportation. We believe that LNG consumption will continue to increase in these end markets in the future.
Stabilis believes that our extensive operating experience positions us to be a leader in the North American small-scale LNG markets. We plan to leverage this experience to grow our business by investing in new LNG production and LNG distribution assets throughout North America.

Market for Small-Scale LNG in North America
LNG can serve as a partner fuel for renewable energy sources and provides an important balance between environmental sustainability, security and access, and economic viability as a source of fuel. LNG can also be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is not available, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented and to replace a variety of other carbon-based fuels. We believe that the current and future markets for LNG are significant and will continue to grow for a number of years.
We believe that the following factors could drive significant LNG market growth in North America over the next decade:
Lower Emissions than Alternative Fossil Fuels. Natural gas contains less carbon than most other fossil fuels and, as a result, produces fewer carbon dioxide emissions when burned. The National Energy Technology Laboratory indicates that new natural gas power plants emit between 50% and 60% less carbon dioxide compared with emissions from a typical coal plant. The Argonne National Laboratory indicates that natural gas vehicles produce between 13% and 21% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than comparable gasoline and diesel fueled vehicles. Additional studies indicate that natural gas also produces lower particulate matter and sulfur emissions than other fossil fuels. We believe the relative environmental benefits of natural gas as a fuel is
8

becoming increasingly important as our customers expand their corporate sustainability mandates to lower greenhouse gas emissions and increase decarbonization initiatives.
Increasing Growth in Renewable Energy Production. Energy production from renewable energy sources, in particular wind and solar, is growing rapidly across the world as many governments and businesses seek to reduce their carbon emissions. However, wind and solar are intermittent energy sources that require back-up energy sources that can come into service quickly and reliably. We believe that natural gas driven turbines and engines are the preferred viable back-up power source as they meet these operating requirements and use relatively clean natural gas. We believe that natural gas power generation could support the growth of wind and solar energy production and that LNG could be a preferred source of natural gas for off-pipeline applications.
Less Expensive than Other Traditional Fuels. The cost of natural gas compared to other energy sources is a significant driver for the future demand for natural gas and LNG. Technological advances in natural gas production have unlocked significant new gas reserves in North America. We believe that these proven, abundant and growing reserves of natural gas have the potential to produce among the highest volumes of natural gas in the world. This abundant supply of natural gas has supported relatively low natural gas prices in North America. The cost of natural gas in the United States and Canada currently is less than the cost of crude oil on an energy equivalent basis. In addition, because the price of the natural gas commodity makes up a smaller portion of the total cost of LNG relative to the commodity portion of competing fuels, the price of LNG is less sensitive to variations in the underlying commodity cost. These factors have made LNG more economical than competing fuel sources, and we believe that LNG will maintain this cost advantage into the foreseeable future.
The following chart illustrates the lower cost and decreased price sensitivity of LNG by comparing the historical wholesale price of Propane, Ultra-Low No. 2 Diesel, Indicative Liquefied Natural Gas and Natural Gas (Henry Hub).
ULSD, Propane & LNG pricing-2011 to December 31, 2021
Better Safety than Alternative Fuels. The physical characteristics of LNG make it a safer and more environmentally friendly fuel when compared to diesel and propane because it boils and dissipates rapidly into the air when spilled instead of pooling on or near the ground. If released, LNG is also less combustible than diesel and propane because it ignites at relatively high
9

temperatures and within a narrow flammability range when mixed with air. In addition, LNG fuel tanks and systems used in natural gas applications are subjected to a number of federal and state required safety tests, such as fire, environmental hazard, burst pressure and crash testing that ensure their safety.
Established LNG Production and Distribution Technology. S mall-scale LNG production and distribution technologies have been proven and are now widely available from multiple vendors. Small-scale liquefiers are available in modular formats from several vendors and many of them have established track records of reliable and safe operating performance. LNG transport trailers, storage vessels, and vaporization equipment are also available from multiple vendors, and most of this equipment also comes with an established operating track record. We believe that the availability of proven small-scale LNG production and distribution technologies reduces the technology risk in growing the industry, but it also places a premium on the owner’s or operator’s construction and operating capabilities.
Other Markets, Demand and Opportunities for Our Services
Other Clean Energy Fuels such as Hydrogen, Renewable Natural Gas and Synthetic Natural Gas. We believe that our technical expertise, production, transportation and storage capabilities allows us to provide other clean energy fuels such as hydrogen, renewable natural gas and synthetic natural gas. The current market demand for these is currently very small as they are generally not yet commercially viable compared to more traditional hydrocarbon-based fuel sources (including natural gas). However, production and distribution technologies are currently under development by various manufacturers for all of these. As we believe societies and governments strive for a decarbonized world, development of commercially viable, zero emission fuel technologies could make these other energy transition fuels more prevalent in the coming decades. According to a 2021 study published by the Hydrogen Council, over 200 hydrogen projects have been announced worldwide, including over 19 in North America, including projects for large-scale industrial usage, use as a transportation fuel in ships and buses, and distribution, transportation, and storage infrastructure. Hydrogen spending projections across the value chain based on project announcements add up to more than $300 billion through 2030. Hydrogen can be transported by trucks, pipelines or ships depending on the targeted end-use. We expect that small-scale hydrogen distribution using equipment and expertise similar to that used for small-scale LNG will play an important role in the ultimate acceptance and utilization of hydrogen as a low to zero emission fuel source.
Our Customers
Stabilis serves customers in a variety of end markets, including aerospace, industrial, utilities and pipelines, mining, energy, commercial, and transportation within the United States and Mexico. We believe these customer markets are well suited to use LNG and hydrogen because they consume relatively high volumes of fuel, operate in mobile, temporary or off-pipeline locations, have limited access to alternative fuel sources, and/or are facing increasingly stringent emissions or other environmental requirements. We currently serve approximately 120 customers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Aggreko Plc, Minera Penmont and Chevron Corporation each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Chevron Corporation and Aggreko Plc each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. During such periods, no other purchaser accounted for 10% or more of our revenue.
Aerospace. The Aerospace industry utilizes LNG as a propellant for rocket propulsion systems and LNG provides an economical, readily available, and easily stored fuel for rockets engines. Aerospace firms may also utilize LNG for power generation at remote facilities. Consumption of LNG at aerospace facilities vary significantly by project type.
Industrial. Industrial applications for LNG include sand and aggregate producers, asphalt plants, greenhouses, food processers, paper mills, agricultural dryers, and general manufacturing facilities. Remote sand producers and mobile asphalt plants that use LNG to produce heat for their processing and drying operation are among our largest customers. LNG often replaces propane, fuel oil, or diesel fuel in these applications. These customers often cannot justify the cost of new pipeline infrastructure and using LNG requires minimal up-front costs, regulatory approvals, and lead time requirements. We believe LNG is optimal for these applications because it is cost-effective with stable pricing, offers consistent supply without curtailments, provides an energy density that minimizes storage requirements, and has a clean and consistent burn that makes heating operations more predictable. Based on our experience, sand production facilities can consume 10,000 to 20,000 LNG gallons per day, and asphalt plants can use 5,000 to 10,000 LNG gallons per day.
Utilities and Pipelines. North America has an expansive network of pipelines that, based on age and increasingly more stringent regulations, require routine testing and maintenance. During such events LNG fueling solutions can provide flow assurance to address natural gas supply interruptions during pipeline hydrostatic testing, repairs, gas distribution system curtailments, or unplanned outages. Such solutions can also provide a bridge for large industrial or utility customers before permanent pipelines are installed. LNG is becoming more predominant in regions where natural gas demand is growing and utilities and pipelines are required to continue to meet critical peak gas demand. LNG can provide an economic solution to
10

support these supply requirements during peak weather conditions, gas curtailments and/or pipeline repairs. In addition, utilities and other power providers can also utilize LNG to provide clean distributed power when access to an electrical grid is limited, additional power is needed during times of peak load, or power infrastructure is damaged due to storms such as hurricanes or wildfires. LNG usage in utility and pipeline applications varies significantly by project type. Hydrogen and methane blends are currently being tested by pipelines as a method of reducing emissions from pipeline gas.
Mining. Mines, including those producing metals, rare earth materials, and coal, are often located in remote locations that are off the electrical grid and do not have natural gas pipeline access. Mines use LNG to fuel electrical generators and to produce heat for their processing activities. Several mines have also tested using LNG as a fuel for their mine trucks and other high horsepower engine equipment. In addition to fuel cost benefits, LNG can help reduce emissions at mines that are often located in environmentally sensitive areas. Based on our experience, power generation and heating applications at mines can consume 10,000 to 100,000 LNG gallons per day.
Energy. Energy producers use high horsepower engines to power their drilling and pressure pumping operations. LNG displaces some of the total diesel fuel consumption in these applications using dual-fuel engine technology. We believe that energy producers can use LNG to reduce fuel costs and to meet environmental emissions requirements. Based on our experience, dual-fuel drill rigs can consume 1,000 to 5,000 LNG gallons per day and dual-fuel pressure pumping spreads can consume 10,000 to 20,000 LNG gallons per day. Energy producers use the field gas being produced in their operations to fuel the turbine engines that power their pressure pumping spreads. While turbines can burn field gas, they often require significant amounts of LNG for primary or back-up fuel supply because field gas often varies widely in volume, composition, and pressure. Based on our experience, turbine driven pressure pumping operations can consume 30,000 to 60,000 LNG gallons per day when using LNG as the primary fuel.
Commercial. Commercial locations, including offices, call centers, data centers and campuses, often need fuel for primary or back-up power generation. LNG often replaces propane or diesel fuel in these applications. LNG usage in commercial applications varies significantly by location size and purpose.
Transportation. LNG is being used to fuel high horsepower engines in multiple transportation applications, including over-the-road trucking, mine haul trucks, locomotives, and marine engines, due to reduced emissions and cost savings benefits. Extensive LNG fueling networks exist currently in the United States, the European Union, and China. Regulatory requirements are accelerating the adoption of LNG as a transportation fuel in other markets, particularly in the marine sector. LNG usage in transportation application varies by the horsepower requirements of the application.
Marine Bunkering of LNG. We believe that opportunities to provide LNG as a fuel source to the marine transportation industry represents a significant opportunity for us. As shipping and marine transportation companies expand the use of LNG as a fuel source, we believe that we are positioned to capitalize on future growth. The International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) has imposed a global sulfur cap of 0.5% on ships trading outside of established emission control areas starting in January 2020, a level that could be difficult to achieve using common marine fuels, such as heavy fuel oil, but could be achieved using LNG. Large marine vessels can take several hundred thousand gallons of LNG in a single fuel bunkering event.
We actively deliver LNG through virtual distribution systems, providing LNG to customers who use it as a fuel in mobile high horsepower applications and to customers who do not have natural gas pipeline access.
Brazil. We offer a range of electrical and instrumentation construction and installation services to our customers. These services include new construction as well as electrical and instrumentation turnarounds, maintenance and renovation projects.
China. Through our 40% interest in BOMAY, we provide power and control systems for the land drilling and production market in China.
Competitive Strengths
Stabilis believes that we are well positioned to execute our business strategies based on the following competitive strengths:
LNG is an economically and environmentally attractive product. Stabilis believes that many of our customers use LNG because it can significantly reduce harmful carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur, particulate matter, and other emissions as compared to other hydrocarbon-based fuels. LNG is also an important partner fuel for renewables such as solar and wind power and will be a key component of the energy transition to more sustainable sources of energy. We also believe that the combination of cost and environmental benefits makes LNG a compelling fuel source for many energy consumers. We believe that LNG can
11

be delivered to customers at prices that are lower and more stable than what they would pay for distillate fuels or propane. In addition, several of our customers have reported that LNG as a fuel decreases their operating costs by reducing equipment maintenance requirements and providing more consistent burn characteristics.
Demonstrated ability to execute LNG projects safely and cost effectively. Stabilis has produced and delivered over 360 million gallons of LNG to our customers throughout our 17 year operating history. Our experience includes building and operating LNG production facilities, delivering LNG from third-party sources to our customers, and designing and executing a wide-variety of turnkey LNG fueling solutions for our customers using our cryogenic equipment fleet supported by our field service team. We have experience serving customers in multiple end markets including aerospace, industrial, utilities and pipelines, mining, energy, remote clean power, and transportation. We also have experience exporting LNG to Mexico and Canada. Finally, we believe our team is among the most experienced in the small-scale LNG industry. We believe that we can leverage this proven LNG execution experience to grow our business in existing markets and expand our business into new markets including the nascent hydrogen market. The production and distribution of hydrogen shares many attributes with LNG and we believe hydrogen will be a safe fuel and increasingly cost effective as acceptance grows.
Comprehensive provider of “virtual natural gas pipeline” solutions throughout North America. Stabilis offers our customers a comprehensive off-pipeline natural gas solution by providing the supply infrastructure, transportation and logistics, and field service support necessary to deliver LNG to them in a program that is tailored to their consumption needs. We believe we own one of the largest fleets of cryogenic transportation, storage, and vaporization equipment in North America. We can provide our customers LNG and related services for a wide variety of applications almost anywhere in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We believe that our ability to be a “one stop shop” for all of our customers’ off-pipeline natural gas requirements throughout North America is unique among LNG providers. We believe our LNG experience allows us to expand our comprehensive offerings using hydrogen.
Ability to leverage existing LNG production and delivery capabilities into new markets. Stabilis believes that our experience producing and distributing LNG can be leveraged to grow into new geographic and service end markets. Since our founding we have expanded our service area across the United States, northern Mexico, and western Canada. We have also expanded our industry coverage to include multiple new end markets and customers. We accomplished this expansion into new markets by leveraging our LNG production and distribution expertise, in combination with our cryogenic engineering and project development capabilities, to meet new customer needs.
Competition
The market for natural gas is highly competitive. Stabilis believes the biggest competition for LNG in these applications are distillate fuels and propane as they power the majority of engines and generators in our target markets. We also compete with other fuel sources including pipeline natural gas and CNG. We believe we have multiple competitors in the market for natural gas fuel, including, but not limited to:
•Producers and distributors of LNG, including New Fortress Energy LLC, Clean Energy Fuels Corp., BHE GT&S Berkshire Hathaway Energy (formerly Dominion Energy), Eagle LNG, Applied LNG, Kinetrex Energy, numerous utilities located across the country which produce LNG for peak shaving purposes, and numerous local providers of cryogenic distribution and field services; and
•Producers and distributors of CNG, including NG Advantage LLC, Xpress Natural Gas LLC (Basalt Infrastructure Partners), Compass Natural Gas Partners LP and Certarus Ltd.
Stabilis competes with other natural gas companies, as well as other fossil fuel sources, based on a variety of factors, including, among others, cost, supply, availability, quality, emissions, and safety of the fuel. Location is often a primary competitive factor as transportation costs limit the distance LNG can be hauled at competitive prices. We believe we compare favorably with many of our competitors on the basis of these factors; however, some of our competitors have longer operating histories and market-based experience, larger customer bases, more expansive brand recognition, deeper market penetration and substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than our business. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changes in customer preferences, legal requirements or other industry or regulatory trends, devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, dedicate more effort to infrastructure and systems development in support of their business or product development activities and exert more influence on the regulatory landscape that impacts the natural gas fuel market. Additionally, utilities and their affiliates typically have unique competitive advantages, including a lower cost of capital, substantial and predictable cash flows, long-standing customer relationships, greater brand awareness, and large sales and marketing organizations.
12

Stabilis does not believe that we compete with mid-scale and world-scale LNG liquefiers that produce more than 1,000,000 LNG-gallons per day. These large LNG production facilities, such as those operated by Cheniere Energy and Freeport LNG, typically are designed and permitted to fill large marine vessels that deliver cargos of 21,120,000 LNG-gallons or more to large import terminals in foreign markets. We do not believe that any of them currently have or plan to have truck loading facilities that would be required to supply LNG to small-scale LNG customers. We also do not believe that any mid-scale or large-scale liquefiers currently have plans to install LNG loading capabilities for vessels smaller than 7,920,000 LNG-gallons.
Sales and Marketing
Stabilis markets our products and services primarily through our direct sales force, which includes sales representatives covering all of our major geographic and customer markets, as well as attendance at trade shows and participation in industry conferences and events. Our technical, sales and marketing teams also work closely with federal, state and local government agencies to provide education about the value of natural gas as a fuel and to keep abreast of proposed and newly adopted regulations that affect our industry.
Seasonality
We did not experience significant seasonal variations in volume of LNG delivered to our customers during 2021, and we do not expect future volumes to be significantly impacted by seasonal variations. However, our revenues are susceptible to variations due to changes in the price of natural gas as we pass this cost onto our customer. The price of natural gas can fluctuate at any time during the year due to isolated factors, but on average, natural gas prices tend to be higher in peak winter and peak summer months when heating and cooling demand is seasonally higher.
Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
Stabilis is subject to a variety of federal, international, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety, labor and employment, building codes and construction, zoning and land use, public reporting and taxation, among others. Any changes to existing laws or regulations, the adoption of new laws or regulations, or failure by us to comply with applicable laws or regulations could result in significant additional expense to us or our customers or a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Regulations that significantly affect our operating activities are described below. Compliance with these regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position to date, but new laws or regulations or amendments to existing laws or regulations to make them more stringent could have such an effect in the future. We cannot estimate the costs that may be required for us to comply with potential new laws or changes to existing laws, and these unknown costs are not contemplated by our existing customer agreements or our budgets and cost estimates. We believe that we are in compliance with all environmental and other governmental regulations. Our compliance has, to date, had no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.
Construction and Operation of LNG Liquefaction Plants. To build and operate LNG liquefaction plants, Stabilis must apply for facility permits or licenses that address many factors, including storm water and wastewater discharges, waste handling, and air emissions related to production activities and equipment operation. The construction of LNG plants must also be approved by local planning boards and fire departments.
Transportation of LNG. Federal and state safety standards require that LNG is moved by qualified drivers in cryogenic containers designed for LNG transportation. Drivers are subject to U.S. Department of Transportation (“USDOT”) regulations, such as Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), Hazardous Materials Regulations, and state certification requirements, such as certifications by the Alternative Energy Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas. Cryogenic containers have to undergo annual USDOT visual inspections and periodic pressure tests. Motor vehicles equipped with an LNG container or other motor vehicles used principally for transporting LNG in portable containers in Texas have to be registered with the Railroad Commission of Texas.
Transfer of LNG. Federal safety standards require each transfer of LNG to be conducted in accordance with specific written safety procedures. These procedures must require that qualified personnel be in attendance during all LNG transfer operations, and these procedures must be implemented, and copies of the procedures must be available/displayed, at each LNG transfer location.
Storage and Vaporization of LNG at Customer Sites. To install and operate both temporary and permanent storage and vaporization equipment, Stabilis may apply for permits or licenses that address many factors, including waste handling and air
13

emissions related to onsite storage and equipment operation or consult with customers so they may apply for needed permits. The operation and siting of storage and vaporization of LNG may also require approval by local planning boards and fire departments.
Import & Export of LNG. To import or export LNG from the United States to Mexico and Canada via truck, numerous authorizations are required. In support of our business in Canada, Stabilis maintains an import and export license from the United States Department of Energy (“DOE”) and from the National Energy Board of Canada (“NEB”). We maintain an Emergency Response Action Plan (“ERAP”) with Transport Canada. In support of our business in Mexico, we maintain an export license from the DOE and maintain import permits to bring the LNG into the country. Exporting LNG in large quantities would require additional permits and licenses from various regulatory agencies, including the DOE and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). We do not have these permits at this time but could file for such authorizations in the future.
Human Capital Resources
Stabilis believes that one of its key assets is the collective expertise, experience and diversity of its workforce. The Company depends on all of its employees, including its executive officers and senior management, to successfully operate its businesses and to successfully execute its strategy going forward. As of December 31, 2021, Stabilis had 293 employees, 249 of whom were full-time employees. We believe our relations with employees are satisfactory. None of our employees are currently subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Stabilis seeks to attract and retain its employees by offering competitive compensation packages including base and incentive compensation, attractive benefits and opportunities for advancement and rewarding careers. The Company periodically reviews and adjusts, if needed, its employees’ compensation to ensure that it is competitive within the industry and is consistent with their level of performance. Stabilis considers employee benefits to be an important part of employee total compensation. For this reason, the Company’s benefits include medical, dental, and vision and insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and disability insurance, travel and accident insurance, as well as a 401(k) contribution retirement plan. The Company’s ability to attract employees is also significantly influenced by our efforts to create a culture founded on opportunity, personal growth, respect, collaboration and its ability to value the diverse backgrounds, skills and contributions that its employees offer.
Stabilis strives to provide its people with all of the tools and support necessary for them to succeed and safely perform their duties. The safety of its employees, contractors, customers and communities is paramount to the Company’s success. To ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations in a highly regulated environment, the Company supports and utilizes various employee training, educational programs as well as safety programs with detailed safety and health related procedures that all are required to follow. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented workplace controls and risk mitigation measures that have enabled the Company to work through several periods of elevated impacts from COVID-19, including the Delta and Omicron variants.
Intellectual Property
The intellectual property portfolio of Stabilis and its subsidiaries includes patents and trademarks. The Company has a patent in both US and Canada for the use of natural gas for well enhancement. The Company has two patents for rotary fluid processing systems and a US patent for a gas processing system. The Company also has three pending foreign patent applications (one in Canada and two in Mexico). The last patent to expire in the U.S. will expire in July 2038, absent any adjustments or extensions. The Company has ten U.S. trademark registrations and one foreign trademark registration (Canada). The Company has no pending trademark applications.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below with all of the other information included in this report in evaluating an investment in our common stock. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our ability to implement our business strategy may be materially and adversely affected by many known and unknown factors.
Our business strategy relies upon our future ability to successfully market natural gas to end-users, develop and maintain cost-effective logistics in our supply chain and construct, develop and operate energy-related infrastructure in North America. Our business strategy assumes that we will be able to expand our operations further in North America, enter into long-term purchase and supply contracts with end-users, acquire and transport LNG at attractive prices, develop infrastructure, and other future projects, into efficient and profitable operations in a timely and cost-effective way, obtain approvals from all relevant federal, international, state and local authorities, as needed, for the construction and operation of these projects and other relevant approvals, and obtain long-term capital appreciation and liquidity with respect to such investments. Our strategy may also be affected by future governmental laws and regulations. It also assumes that we will be able to enter into strategic relationships with energy end-users, power utilities, LNG providers, transportation companies, infrastructure developers, financing counterparties and other partners. These assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive, regulatory and operational uncertainties, contingencies and risks, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally, in furtherance of our business strategy, we may acquire operating businesses or other assets in the future. Any such acquisitions would be subject to significant risks and contingencies, including the risk of integration, and we may not be able to realize the benefits of any such acquisitions.
Our future ability to execute our business strategy is uncertain, and it can be expected that one or more of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect and that we will face unanticipated events and circumstances that may adversely affect our business. Any one or more of the following factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our proposed strategy and achieve our targets:
• failure to develop cost-effective logistics solutions;
• failure to manage expanding operations in the projected time frame;
• inability to structure innovative and profitable energy-related transactions and to optimally price and manage position, performance and counterparty risks;
• inability to develop infrastructure and other future projects in a timely and cost-effective manner;
• inability to attract and retain personnel in a timely and cost-effective manner;
• failure of investments in technology and machinery, such as liquefaction technology or LNG tank truck technology, to perform as expected;
• increases in competition which could increase costs and undermine profits;
• inability to source LNG in sufficient quantities and/or at economically attractive prices;
• failure to anticipate and adapt to new trends in the energy sector in North America and elsewhere;
• increases in operating costs, including the need for capital improvements, insurance premiums, general taxes, real estate taxes and utilities, affecting our profit margins;
• inability to raise significant additional debt and equity capital in the future to implement our business strategy as well as to operate and expand our business;
• general economic, political and business conditions in North America and in the other geographic areas we now operate and intend to operate in the future;
• inflation, depreciation of the currencies of the countries in which we operate and fluctuations in interest rates;
• failure to win new bids or contracts;
•changes in regulatory, geopolitical, social, economic, tax or monetary policies and other factors;
15

• failure to obtain approvals from governmental regulators and relevant local authorities for the construction and operation of potential future projects and other relevant approvals;
• existing and future governmental laws and regulations; or
• inability, or failure, of any customer or contract counterparty to perform their contractual obligations to us (for further discussion of counterparty risk, see “—Risks Related to Our Business—Our current ability to generate cash is substantially dependent upon the performance by customers under short-term contracts that we have entered into or will enter into in the near future, and we could be materially and adversely affected if any customer fails to perform its contractual obligations for any reason, including nonpayment and nonperformance, or if we fail to enter into such contracts at all”).
If we experience any of these failures, such failure may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to execute our business strategy.
Our business may require additional funding from various sources, which may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms.
Our net working capital may not be sufficient to fully execute our business plan in the future. Assuming the accuracy of our assumptions relating to our business strategy, we believe that our cash resources will only be sufficient to meet projected capital expenditures, financing obligations and operating requirements in the near term. In the future, we expect to pursue offerings of debt or equity securities to assist us in developing our operations. If we are unable to secure additional funding, or if it is only available on terms that we determine are not acceptable, we may be unable to fully execute our business plan, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
A variety of factors beyond our control could impact the availability or cost of capital, including domestic or international economic conditions, increases in key benchmark interest rates and/or credit spreads, the adoption of new or amended banking or capital market laws or regulations, the re-pricing of market risks and volatility in capital and financial markets, risks relating to the credit risk of our customers and the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as general risks, including limitations on investment capital, applicable to the energy sector. Our financing costs could increase or future borrowings or equity offerings may be unavailable to us or unsuccessful, which could cause us to be unable to pay or refinance our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may rely on borrowings under debt instruments to fund our capital expenditures. If any of the lenders under these potential debt instruments were unable to perform on its commitments, we may need to seek replacement financing, which may not be available as needed, or may be available in more limited amounts or on more expensive or otherwise unfavorable terms.
We may not be profitable for an indeterminate period of time.
We have a limited operating history and therefore have not achieved consistent profitability on an annual basis. We will need to make significant additional investments to develop, improve and operate our business. We also expect to make significant expenditures and investments in identifying, acquiring and/or developing other future projects. We also expect to incur significant expenses in connection with the continued growth of our business, including costs for LNG purchases, truck transportation, shipping and logistics, personnel and technological improvements. We may need to raise significant additional debt and equity capital to achieve our goals.
We may not be able to achieve profitability, and if we do, we cannot assure you that we would be able to sustain such profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or sustain profitability would have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
Because we are currently dependent upon a limited number of customers, the loss of a significant customer could adversely affect our operating results.
A limited number of customers currently represent a substantial majority of our income. Our operating results are currently contingent on our ability to maintain LNG services to these customers. At least in the short term, we expect that a substantial majority of our sales will continue to arise from a concentrated number of customers, such as power utilities, energy producers and industrial end-users. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Chevron Corporation, Aggreko PLC and Minera Penmont each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. We may be unable to accomplish our business plan to diversify and expand our
16

customer base by attracting a broad array of customers, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our current ability to generate cash is substantially dependent upon the performance by customers under short-term contracts that we have entered into or will enter into in the near future, and we could be materially and adversely affected if any customer fails to perform its contractual obligations for any reason, including nonpayment and nonperformance, or if we fail to enter into such contracts at all.
Our current results of operations and liquidity are, and will continue to be in the near future, substantially dependent upon performance by a small number of customers, which have each entered into supply agreements and other similar contracts of variable durations. Our near term ability to generate cash is dependent on the small number of customers’ continued willingness and ability to perform their obligations under their respective contracts. If any of these customers fails to perform its obligations under their contracts, our operating results, cash flow and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected, even if we were ultimately successful in seeking damages from any of these customers for a breach of the contract.
Risks of nonpayment and nonperformance by customers are a consideration in our businesses, and our credit procedures and policies may be inadequate to sufficiently eliminate customer credit risk. As part of our business strategy, we intend to target customers who have not been traditional purchasers of natural gas, including customers in developing countries, and these customers may have greater credit risk than typical natural gas purchasers. Therefore, we may request prepayments in advance for purchasing LNG or our services for certain customers that pose a greater customer credit risk than other companies in the industry. Further, adverse economic conditions in the energy industry increase the risk of nonpayment and nonperformance by customers, particularly customers that have sub-investment grade credit ratings or significant counterparty risks. Finally, we may be unable to collect amounts due or damages we are awarded from certain customers, and our efforts to collect such amounts may damage our customer relationships. Any material nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Any failure to perform by our counterparties under agreements may adversely affect our operating results, liquidity and access to financing.
Our business involves our entering into various purchase and sale, hedging and other transactions with numerous third parties (commonly referred to as “counterparties”). In such arrangements, we are exposed to the performance and credit risks of our counterparties, including the risk that one or more counterparties fails to perform its obligation to make deliveries of commodities and/or to make payments. These risks may increase during periods of commodity price volatility. Defaults by suppliers and other counterparties may adversely affect our operating results, liquidity and access to financing.
Our customer contracts are subject to termination under certain circumstances.
Our customer contracts contain various termination rights, including, without limitation:
• for no cause by giving notice as agreed in the contract;
• upon the occurrence of certain events of force majeure;
• if we fail to make available specified scheduled cargo quantities;
• upon the occurrence of certain uncured payment defaults;
• upon the occurrence of an insolvency event;
• upon the occurrence of certain uncured, material breaches; and
• if we fail to commence commercial operations within the agreed timeframes.
We may not be able to replace these contracts on desirable terms, or at all, if they are terminated. Contracts that we enter into in the future may contain similar provisions. If any of these current or future contracts are terminated, such termination could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and prospects.
17

Cyclical or other changes in the demand for and price of LNG and natural gas may adversely affect our business and the performance of our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and prospects.
Our business generally is based on assumptions about the future availability and price of natural gas and LNG markets. Natural gas and LNG prices have at various times been and may become volatile due to one or more of the following factors:
• insufficient or oversupply of natural gas liquefaction or export capacity worldwide;
• insufficient LNG tanker capacity;
• weather conditions and natural disasters;
• reduced demand and lower prices for natural gas;
• increased natural gas production deliverable by pipelines, which could suppress demand for LNG;
• decreased oil and natural gas exploration activities, which may decrease the production of natural gas, or decrease the demand for LNG used in the oil and gas exploration and production process;
• changes in supplies of, demand for, and prices for, alternative energy sources such as coal, oil, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar energy, which may reduce the demand for natural gas;
• changes in regulatory, tax or other governmental policies or requirements regarding imported or exported LNG, natural gas or alternative energy sources, which may reduce the demand for imported or exported LNG and/or natural gas;
• political conditions in natural gas producing regions;
• imposition of tariffs by China or any other jurisdiction on imports of LNG from the United States; and
• cyclical trends in general business and economic conditions that cause changes in the demand for natural gas.
Adverse trends or developments affecting any of these factors could result in decreases in the prices at which we are able to sell LNG and natural gas and related services or increases in the prices we have to pay for natural gas or LNG, which could materially and adversely affect the performance of our customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and prospects.
Failure to maintain sufficient working capital could limit our growth and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have significant working capital requirements, primarily driven by the delay between the purchase of and payment for natural gas and the payment terms that we offer our customers. Differences between the date when we pay our LNG supply and service providers and the date when we receive payments from our customers may adversely affect our liquidity and our cash flows. We expect our working capital needs to increase as our total business increases. If we do not have sufficient working capital, we may not be able to pursue our growth strategy, respond to competitive pressures or fund key strategic initiatives which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Operation of our LNG infrastructure and other facilities that we may construct involves significant risks.
As more fully discussed in this report, our existing facilities and expected future facilities face operational risks, including the following: performing below expected levels of efficiency, breakdowns or failures of equipment, operational errors by trucks, operational errors by us or any contracted facility operator, industrial accidents, labor disputes and weather-related or natural disaster interruptions of operations.
Any of these risks could disrupt our operations and increase our costs, which would adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and liquidity. In addition, the occurrence of a significant event or adverse claim in excess of the insurance coverage that we maintain or that is not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and liquidity.
18

The operation of our plants involves particular, significant risks.
The operation of our plants involves particular, significant risks, including, among others: failure to maintain the required license(s) or other permits required to operate our plants; failure in health and safety performance and management of health and safety risks; failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations; failure to properly manage environmental risks, including pollution, contamination, and exposure to hazardous materials; the inability, or failure, of any counterparty to any plant-related agreements to perform their contractual obligations to us and planned and unplanned power outages due to maintenance, expansion and refurbishment. We cannot assure you that future occurrences of any of the events listed above or any other events of a similar or dissimilar nature would not significantly decrease or eliminate the revenues from, or significantly increase the costs of operating, our plants. As a consequence, there may be reduced or no revenues from our plants which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
Global climate change may in the future increase the frequency and severity of weather events and the losses resulting therefrom, which could have a material adverse effect on the economies in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate in the future and therefore on our business.
Over the past several years, changing weather patterns and climatic conditions have added to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters in certain parts of the world, including the markets in which we operate and intend to operate, and have created additional uncertainty as to future trends. There is a growing consensus today that climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and, in recent years, the frequency of major weather events appears to have increased. We cannot predict whether or to what extent damage that may be caused by natural events, such as severe tropical storms and hurricanes, will affect our operations or the economies in our current or future market areas, but the increased frequency and severity of such weather events could increase the negative impacts to economic conditions in these regions and result in a decline in the value or the destruction of our liquefiers and downstream facilities or affect our ability to transport LNG. In particular, if one of the regions in which we operate is impacted by such a natural catastrophe in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, the economies of such impacted areas may require significant time to recover and there is no assurance that a full recovery will occur. Even the threat of a severe weather event could impact our business, financial condition or the price of our common stock.
Hurricanes or other natural or man-made disasters could result in an interruption of our operations, a delay in the completion of future facilities, higher construction costs or the deferral of the dates on which payments are due under our customer contracts, all of which could adversely affect us.
Storms and related storm activity and collateral effects, or other disasters such as explosions, fires, seismic events, floods or accidents, could result in damage to, or interruption of operations in our supply chain, including at our facilities or related infrastructure, as well as delays or cost increases in the construction and the development of our proposed facilities or other infrastructure. Due to the concentration of our current plant operations in coastal areas of North America, we are particularly exposed to the risks posed by hurricanes, tropical storms and their collateral effects. We are unable to predict with certainty the impact of future storms on our customers, infrastructure or operations.
If one or more trailer, terminals, pipelines, facilities, equipment or electronic systems that we own, lease or operate or that deliver products to us or that supply our facilities and our customers’ facilities are damaged by severe weather or any other disaster, accident, catastrophe, terrorist or cyber-attack or event, our operations could be significantly interrupted. These delays and interruptions could involve significant damage to people, property or the environment, and repairs could take a week or less for a minor incident to six months or more for a major interruption. Any event that interrupts the revenues generated by our operations, or that causes us to make significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
We maintain insurance against certain risks and losses. We may not be able to maintain desired or required insurance at rates that we consider commercially reasonable. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
19

Our insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our property or result from our operations.
Our current operations and future projects are subject to the inherent risks associated with LNG, natural gas and power operations, including explosions, pollution, release of toxic substances, fires, seismic events, hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions, and other hazards, each of which could result in significant delays in commencement or interruptions of operations and/or result in damage to or destruction of our facilities and assets or damage to persons and property. In addition, such operations and the modes of transport of third parties on which our current operations and future projects may be dependent face possible risks associated with acts of aggression or terrorism. Some of the regions in which we operate are affected by hurricanes or tropical storms. We do not, nor do we intend to, maintain insurance against all of these risks and losses. In particular, we do not carry business interruption insurance for hurricanes and other natural disasters. Therefore, the occurrence of one or more significant events not fully insured or indemnified against could create significant liabilities and losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
We may be unable to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. For example, environmental regulations have led in the past to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. A catastrophic release of natural gas, marine disaster or natural disasters could result in losses that exceed our insurance coverage, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any uninsured or under-insured loss could harm our business and financial condition. In addition, our insurance may be voidable by the insurers as a result of certain of our actions.
Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks or political change may also make certain types of insurance more difficult for us to obtain. In addition, the insurance that may be available may be significantly more expensive than our existing coverage.
The construction of our energy-related infrastructure is subject to operational, regulatory, environmental, political, legal and economic risks, which may result in delays, increased costs or decreased cash flows.
The construction of energy-related infrastructure, including liquefaction facilities, as well as other future projects, involves numerous operational, regulatory, environmental, political, legal and economic risks beyond our control and may require the expenditure of significant amounts of capital during construction and thereafter. These potential risks include, among other things, the following:
• we may be unable to complete construction projects on schedule or at the budgeted cost due to the unavailability of required construction personnel or materials, accidents or weather conditions, or changes in regulatory requirements;
• we will not receive any material increase in operating cash flows until a project is completed, even though we may have expended considerable funds during the construction phase, which may be prolonged;
• we may construct facilities to capture anticipated future energy consumption growth in a region in which such growth does not materialize;
• the completion or success of our construction project may depend on the completion of a third-party construction project that we do not control and that may be subject to numerous additional potential risks, delays and complexities;
• we may not be able to obtain key permits or land use approvals including those required under environmental laws on terms that are satisfactory for our operations and on a timeline that meets our commercial obligations, and there may be delays, perhaps substantial in length, such as in the event of challenges by citizens groups or non-governmental organizations, including those opposed to fossil fuel energy sources;
• we may be subject to local opposition, including the efforts by environmental groups; and
• we may be unable to obtain rights-of-way to construct additional energy-related infrastructure or the cost to do so may be uneconomical.
A materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to achieve growth in the level of our cash flows or realize benefits from future projects, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
20

We expect to be dependent on contractors for the successful completion of our energy-related infrastructure.
Timely and cost-effective completion of energy-related infrastructure, including liquefaction facilities, as well as future projects, in compliance with agreed specifications is central to our business strategy and is highly dependent on the performance of our contractors. The ability of our contractors to perform successfully under their agreements with us is dependent on a number of factors, including the contractor’s ability to:
• design and engineer each of our facilities to operate in accordance with specifications;
• engage and retain third-party subcontractors and procure equipment and supplies;
• respond to difficulties such as equipment failure, delivery delays, schedule changes and failures to perform by subcontractors, some of which are beyond their control;
• attract, develop and retain skilled personnel, including engineers;
• post required construction bonds and comply with the terms thereof;
• manage the construction process generally, including coordinating with other contractors and regulatory agencies; and
• maintain their own financial condition, including adequate working capital.
Until we have entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contract for a particular project, in which the EPC contractor agrees to meet our planned schedule and projected total costs for a project, we are subject to potential fluctuations in construction costs and other related project costs. Although some agreements may provide for liquidated damages if the contractor fails to perform in the manner required with respect to certain of its obligations, the events that trigger a requirement to pay liquidated damages may delay or impair the operation of the applicable facility, and any liquidated damages that we receive may be delayed or insufficient to cover the damages that we suffer as a result of any such delay or impairment. The obligations of our primary building contractor and other contractors to pay liquidated damages under their agreements with us are subject to caps on liability, as set forth therein. Furthermore, we may have disagreements with our contractors about different elements of the construction process, which could lead to the assertion of rights and remedies under our contracts and increase the cost of the applicable facility or result in a contractor’s unwillingness to perform further work. If any contractor is unable or unwilling to perform according to the negotiated terms and timetable of its respective agreement for any reason or terminates its agreement for any reason, we would be required to engage a substitute contractor, which could be particularly difficult in certain of the markets in which we operate or plan to operate. This would likely result in significant project delays and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects. Additionally, in certain instances, we may be jointly and severally liable for our contractor's actions or contract performance.
We may not be able to purchase or receive physical delivery of natural gas in sufficient quantities and/or at economically attractive prices to satisfy our delivery obligations under our commercial agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may not be able to purchase or receive physical delivery of sufficient quantities of LNG or natural gas to satisfy delivery obligations, which may provide customers with the right to terminate our commercial agreements. In addition, price fluctuations in natural gas and LNG may make it expensive or uneconomical for us to acquire adequate supply of these items.
We will be dependent upon third party LNG suppliers and shippers and facilities to provide delivery options to and from their energy-related infrastructure. If LNG were to become unavailable for current or future volumes of natural gas due to repairs or damage to supplier facilities, lack of capacity or any other reason, our ability to continue delivering natural gas to end-users could be restricted, thereby reducing revenues. Any permanent interruption at any key LNG supply chains that causes a material reduction in volumes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
If market disruptions and bankruptcies of third party LNG suppliers and shippers negatively impacts our ability to purchase a sufficient amount of LNG or significantly increases our costs for purchasing LNG, our business, operating results, cash flows and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurances that we will be able to supply our customers with LNG produced at our own facilities.
21

We face competition based upon market price for LNG or natural gas.
Our business is subject to the risk of natural gas and LNG price competition at times when we need to replace any existing customer contract, whether due to natural expiration, default or otherwise, or enter into new customer contracts. Factors relating to competition may prevent us from entering into new or replacement customer contracts on economically comparable terms to existing customer contracts, or at all. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects. Factors which may negatively affect potential demand for natural gas from our business are diverse and include, among others:
• increases in worldwide LNG production capacity and availability of LNG for market supply;
• increases in demand for natural gas but at levels below those required to maintain current price equilibrium with respect to supply;
• increases or decreases in the cost of LNG;
• decreases in the cost of competing sources of natural gas, LNG or alternate fuels such as coal, heavy fuel oil and diesel; and
• displacement of LNG or fossil fuels more broadly by alternate fuels or energy sources or technologies (including but not limited to nuclear, wind, solar, biofuels and batteries) in locations where access to these energy sources is not currently available or prevalent.
Decreased demand for natural gas may result in significant price competition and decrease the prices we are able to charge, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Technological innovation may render our processes obsolete.
The success of our current operations and future projects will depend in part on our ability to create and maintain a competitive position in the natural gas liquefaction industry. In particular, although we plan to utilize proven technologies such as those currently in operation at our George West and Port Allen liquefiers, we do not have any exclusive rights to any of these technologies. In addition, such technologies may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by legal or regulatory requirements, technological advances, more efficient and cost-effective processes or entirely different approaches developed by one or more of our competitors or others. We must be able to anticipate these changes, understand the market’s challenges, identify and integrate technological developments in order to maintain our competitiveness, maintain a high level of performance and operational excellence, and best meet the needs and demands of our customers. Failure to anticipate and keep up with the pace of technological innovation could materially and adversely affect our business, ability to realize benefits from future projects, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.
Changes in legislation and regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.
Our business is subject to governmental laws, rules, and regulations, and requires permits that impose various restrictions and obligations that may have material effects on our results of operations. In addition, each of the applicable regulatory requirements and limitations is subject to change, either through new regulations enacted on the federal, state or local level, or by new or modified regulations that may be implemented under existing law. The nature and extent of any changes in these laws, rules, regulations and permits may be unpredictable and may have material effects on our business. Future legislation and regulations or changes in existing legislation and regulations, or interpretations thereof, such as those relating to the liquefaction, storage, or regasification of LNG, or its transportation, exportation, or importation could cause additional expenditures, restrictions and delays in connection with our operations as well as other future projects, the extent of which cannot be predicted and which may require us to limit substantially, delay or cease operations in some circumstances. Revised, reinterpreted or additional laws and regulations that result in increased compliance costs or additional operating costs and restrictions could have an adverse effect on our business, our ability to expand our business, including into new markets, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.
22

Increasing trucking regulations may increase costs and negatively impact our results of operations.
We are using transportation systems that include trucks that we own and operate. Such operations are subject to various trucking safety regulations, including those which are enacted, reviewed and amended by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”). These regulatory authorities exercise broad powers, governing activities such as the authorization to engage in motor carrier operations, driver licensing, insurance requirements, financial reporting and review of certain mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and transportation of hazardous materials. To a large degree, intrastate motor carrier operations are subject to state and/or local safety regulations that mirror federal regulations but also regulate the weight and size dimensions of loads.
All federally regulated carriers’ safety ratings are measured through a program implemented by the FMCSA known as the Compliance Safety Accountability (“CSA”) program. The CSA program measures a carrier’s safety performance based on violations observed during roadside inspections as opposed to compliance audits performed by the FMCSA. The quantity and severity of any violations are compared to a peer group of companies of comparable size and annual mileage. If a company rises above a threshold established by the FMCSA, it is subject to action from the FMCSA. There is a progressive intervention strategy that begins with a company providing the FMCSA with an acceptable plan of corrective action that the company will implement. If the issues are not corrected, the intervention escalates to on-site compliance audits and ultimately an “unsatisfactory” rating and the revocation of the company’s operating authority by the FMCSA, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Any trucking operations would be subject to possible regulatory and legislative changes that may increase our costs. Some of these possible changes include changes in environmental regulations, changes in the hours of service regulations which govern the amount of time a driver may drive or work in any specific period, onboard black box recorder device requirements or limits on vehicle weight and size.
Competition in the LNG industry is intense, and some of our competitors have greater financial, technological and other resources than we currently possess.
We plan to operate in the highly competitive area of LNG production and face intense competition from independent, technology-driven companies as well as from both major and other independent oil and natural gas companies and utilities, many of which have been in operation longer than us.
Many competing companies have secured access to, or are pursuing development or acquisition of, LNG facilities in North America. We may face competition from major energy companies and others in pursuing our business strategy to provide LNG. Some of these competitors have longer operating histories, more development experience, greater name recognition, larger staffs and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we currently possess. We also face competition for the contractors needed to build our facilities. The superior resources that some of these competitors have available for deployment could allow them to compete successfully against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, ability to realize benefits from future projects, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.
Failure of LNG to be a competitive source of energy in the markets in which we operate, and seek to operate, could adversely affect our expansion strategy.
Our operations are, and will be, dependent upon LNG being a competitive source of energy in the markets in which we operate. In the United States, due mainly to a historic abundant supply of natural gas and discoveries of substantial quantities of unconventional, or shale, natural gas, imported LNG has not developed into a significant energy source. The success of the domestic liquefaction component of our business plan is dependent, in part, on the extent to which natural gas can, for significant periods and in significant volumes, be produced in the United States at a lower cost than the cost to produce some domestic supplies of other alternative energy sources, and that it can be transported at reasonable rates through appropriately-scaled infrastructure.
Additionally, natural gas competes with other sources of energy, including coal, oil, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar energy, which may become available at a lower cost in certain markets. As a result of this and other factors, natural gas may not be a competitive source of energy in the markets we intend to serve or elsewhere. The failure of natural gas to be a competitive supply alternative to oil and other alternative energy sources could adversely affect our ability to deliver LNG or natural gas to our customers in North America or other locations on a commercial basis.
23

Our lack of diversification could have an adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
A significant portion of our anticipated revenue in 2022 will be dependent upon our facilities in George West, Texas and Port Allen, Louisiana. Due to our lack of asset and geographic diversification, an adverse development at the George West Liquefier or Port Allen Liquefier or in the LNG industry, would have a significantly greater impact on our financial condition and operating results than if we maintained more diverse assets and operating areas.
Our risk management strategies cannot eliminate all LNG price and supply risks. In addition, any non-compliance with our risk management strategies could result in significant financial losses.
When engaged in marketing activities, it is our strategy to maintain a manageable balance between LNG purchases, on the one hand, and sales or future delivery obligations, on the other hand. Through these transactions, we seek to earn a margin for the LNG purchased by selling LNG for physical delivery to third-party users, such as public utilities, industrial users, trucking fleets and other potential end-users converting from traditional diesel or oil fuel to natural gas. These strategies cannot, however, eliminate all price risks. For example, any event that disrupts our anticipated supply chain could expose us to risk of loss resulting from price changes if we are required to obtain alternative supplies to cover these transactions. We are also exposed to basis risks when LNG is purchased against one pricing index and sold against a different index. Moreover, we are also exposed to other risks, including price risks on LNG we own, which must be maintained in order to facilitate transportation of the LNG to our customers or to our facilities. In addition, our marketing operations involve the risk of non-compliance with our risk management policies. We cannot assure you that our processes and procedures will detect and prevent all violations of our risk management strategies, particularly if deception or other intentional misconduct is involved. If we were to incur a material loss related to commodity price risks, including non-compliance with our risk management strategies, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to supply our customers with LNG produced at our own facilities.
We may experience increased labor costs, and the unavailability of skilled workers or failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could adversely affect us.
We are dependent upon the available labor pool of skilled employees, including truck drivers. We compete with other energy companies and other employers to attract and retain qualified personnel with the technical skills and experience required to construct and operate energy-related infrastructure and to provide our customers with the highest quality service. In addition, the tightening labor market may affect our ability to hire and retain skilled labor and require us to pay increased wages.
In addition, we, and our subsidiaries in the United States who hire personnel, are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions. We are also subject to applicable labor regulations in the other jurisdictions in which we operate, including Mexico and Brazil. We may face challenges and costs in hiring, retaining and managing our employee base. A shortage in the labor pool of skilled workers or other general inflationary pressures or changes in applicable laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel and could require an increase in the wage and benefits packages that we offer, thereby increasing our operating costs. Any increase in our operating costs could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
We may incur impairments to goodwill or long-lived assets.
We test our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Significant negative industry or economic trends, and decline of market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows for business segments or disruptions to business could lead to an impairment charge of the long-lived assets, including our goodwill. Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Projections of future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from actual results. In addition, if our analysis results in an impairment to our goodwill or long-lived assets, we may be required to record a charge to earnings in our consolidated financial statements during a period in which such impairment is determined to exist, which may negatively impact our operating results.
24

A major health and safety incident involving LNG or the energy industry more broadly or relating to our business may lead to more stringent regulation of LNG operations or the energy business generally, could result in greater difficulties in obtaining permits, including under environmental laws, on favorable terms, and may otherwise lead to significant liabilities and reputational damage.
Health and safety performance is critical to the success of all areas of our business. Any failure in health and safety performance from our operations may result in an event that causes personal harm or injury to our employees, other persons, and/or the environment, as well as the imposition of injunctive relief and/or penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements or litigation. Any such failure that results in a significant health and safety incident may be costly in terms of potential liabilities, and may result in liabilities that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage. Such a failure, or a similar failure elsewhere in the energy industry (including, in particular, LNG liquefaction, storage, transportation or regasification operations), could generate public concern, which may lead to new laws and/or regulations that would impose more stringent requirements on our operations, have a corresponding impact on our ability to obtain permits and approvals, and otherwise jeopardize our reputation or the reputation of our industry as well as our relationships with relevant regulatory agencies and local communities. Individually or collectively, these developments could adversely impact our ability to expand our business, including into new markets. Similarly, such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
Failure to obtain and maintain permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies on favorable terms with respect to the design, construction and operation of our facilities could impede operations and construction and could have a material adverse effect on us.
The design, construction and operation of energy-related infrastructure, including existing and proposed facilities, the import and export of LNG and the transportation of natural gas, are highly regulated activities at the federal, state and local levels. The Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) has promulgated detailed regulations governing LNG facilities under its jurisdiction to address LNG facility siting, design, construction, equipment, operations, maintenance, personnel qualifications and training, fire protection and security. State and local regulators can impose similar siting, design, construction and operational requirements. Additional approvals of the Department of Energy (“DOE”) under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (“NGA”), as well as several other material governmental and regulatory permits, approvals and authorizations, including under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) and their state analogues, may be required in order to construct and operate an LNG facility and export LNG. Certain federal permitting processes may trigger the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), which requires federal agencies to evaluate major agency actions that have the potential to significantly impact the environment. Compliance with NEPA may extend the time and/or increase the costs for obtaining necessary governmental approvals associated with our operations and create independent risk of legal challenges to the adequacy of the NEPA analysis, which could result in delays that may adversely affect our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and profitability. We may also be subject to yet additional requirements in Mexico or other jurisdictions, including with respect to land use approvals needed to construct and operate our facilities. We also must comply with foreign regulations regarding to the extent we transport LNG within Canada and Mexico.
We cannot control the outcome of any review and approval process, including whether or when any such permits, approvals and authorizations will be obtained, the terms of their issuance, or possible appeals or other potential interventions by third parties, including third parties opposing our operations or the fossil fuel industry generally, that could interfere with our ability to obtain and maintain such permits, approvals and authorizations or the terms thereof. If we are unable to obtain and maintain such permits, approvals and authorizations on favorable terms, we may not be able to recover our investment in our projects. Many of these permits, approvals and authorizations require public notice and comment before they can be issued, which can lead to delays to respond to such comments, and even potentially to revise the permit application or to changes in permit terms and conditions. There is no assurance that we will obtain and maintain these governmental permits, approvals and authorizations on favorable terms, or that we will be able to obtain them on a timely basis, and failure to obtain and maintain any of these permits, approvals or authorizations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Moreover, many of these permits, approvals and authorizations are subject to administrative and judicial challenges, which can delay and protract the process for obtaining and implementing permits and can also add significant costs and uncertainty.
25

Existing and future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating costs or construction costs and restrictions.
Our business is now and will in the future be subject to extensive federal, international, state and local laws and regulations both in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we operate that regulate and restrict, among other things, the siting and design of our facilities, discharges to air, land and water, with focus on the protection of human health, the environment and natural resources from risks associated with processing, storing, receiving and transporting LNG; the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials, hazardous waste and petroleum products; and remediation associated with the release of hazardous substances.
Federal and state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the lawfulness of the original conduct, for the release of certain types or quantities of hazardous substances into the environment. As the owner and operator of our facilities and as generators of and arrangers for the transport and disposal of regulated wastes, we could be liable for the costs of cleaning up any such hazardous substances that may be released into the environment at or from our facilities or facilities to which wastes or hazardous substances were transported or disposed, for resulting damage to natural resources, and for certain health studies.
Laws and regulations, such as the CAA and the CWA, and analogous state laws and regulations, restrict or prohibit the types, quantities and concentration of substances that can be emitted or discharged into the environment in connection with the construction and operation of our facilities, and require us to obtain and maintain permits and provide governmental authorities with access to our facilities for inspection and reports related to compliance. Relevant local authorities may also require us to obtain and maintain permits associated with the construction and operation of our facilities, including with respect to land use approvals.
In addition, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and analogous state laws impose detailed requirements for the generation, handling, storage, processing, treatment and disposal of nonhazardous and hazardous solid wastes. Wastes listed as hazardous wastes or that have hazardous characteristics are subject to more stringent requirements than those considered nonhazardous.
We are also subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, the general duty clause and Risk Management Planning regulations promulgated under section 112(r) of the CAA and comparable state statutes and any implementing regulations require recordkeeping and disclosure of information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and citizens. These laws also require the development of risk management plans for certain facilities to prevent accidental releases of extremely hazardous substances and to minimize the consequences of such releases should they occur.
Failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could lead to substantial liabilities, fines and penalties or capital expenditures related to pollution control equipment and restrictions or curtailment of operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
Other future legislation and regulations could cause additional expenditures, restrictions and delays in our business and to our proposed construction, the extent of which cannot be predicted and which may require us to limit substantially, delay or cease operations in some circumstances. In October 2017, the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a legal determination that a 2013 interagency guidance document was a “rule” subject to the Congressional Review Act (“CRA”). This legal determination could open a broader set of agency guidance documents to potential disapproval and invalidation under the CRA, potentially increasing the likelihood that laws and regulations applicable to our business will become subject to revised interpretations in the future that we cannot predict. Revised, reinterpreted or additional laws and regulations that result in increased compliance costs or additional operating or construction costs and restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
Greenhouse Gases/Climate Change. From time to time, there may be federal and state regulatory and policy initiatives to reduce GHG emissions in the United States from a variety of sources. Other federal and state initiatives are being considered or may be considered in the future to address GHG emissions through, for example, United States treaty commitments or other international agreements, direct regulation, a carbon emissions tax, or cap-and-trade programs. For example, the U.S. recommitted to the Paris Agreement, an international treaty with the goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius as compared to pre-industrial levels.
26

Responding to scientific reports regarding threats posed by global climate change, the U.S. Congress has in the past considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs. Independent of Congress, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has adopted regulations for reporting and controlling GHG emissions from certain air emissions sources under its existing authority under the CAA, and may adopt more stringent regulations in the future. In addition, some states and foreign jurisdictions have individually or in regional cooperation, imposed restrictions on GHG emissions under various policies and approaches, including establishing a cap on emissions, requiring efficiency measures, or providing incentives for pollution reduction, use of renewable energy sources, or use of replacement fuels with lower carbon content.
The adoption and implementation of any U.S. federal, state or local regulations or foreign regulations imposing obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHGs from, our equipment and operations could require us to incur significant costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations or could adversely affect demand for natural gas and natural gas products. The potential increase in our operating costs could include new costs to operate and maintain our facilities, permit our facilities, install new emission controls on our facilities, acquire allowances to authorize our GHG emissions, pay taxes related to our GHG emissions, and administer and manage a GHG emissions program. We may not be able to recover such increased costs through increases in customer prices or rates. In addition, changes in regulatory policies that result in a reduction in the demand for hydrocarbon products that are deemed to contribute to GHGs, or restrict their use, may reduce volumes available to us for processing, transportation, marketing and storage. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, due to concerns over climate change, numerous countries around the world have adopted or are considering adopting laws or regulations to reduce GHG emissions. In December 2015, the U.S. and 195 other nations attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference adopted the Paris Agreement on global climate change, which establishes a universal framework for addressing GHG emissions based on nationally determined contributions. The Paris Agreement calls for zero net anthropogenic GHG emission to be reached during the second half of the 21st century. The Paris Agreement does not create any binding obligations for nations to limit their GHG emissions but rather includes pledges to voluntarily limit or reduce future emissions. It also creates a process for participating countries to review and increase their intended emissions reduction goals every five years. Although the United States became a party to the Paris Agreement in April 2016, in August 2017 the U.S. State Department informed the United Nations of its intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and in November 2019, the U.S. took another step toward withdrawal by submitting a formal notice of its withdrawal to the United Nations. Notably, the earliest date of withdrawal under the terms of the Agreement was November 4, 2020, one day after the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. On January 20, 2021, President Biden sent a letter to the United Nations that formally begun the 30-day process of rejoining the Paris Agreement. It is not possible to know how quickly renewable energy technologies may advance, but the increased use of renewable energy could ultimately reduce future demand for hydrocarbons. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Fossil Fuels. Our business activities depend upon a sufficient and reliable supply of natural gas feedstock, and are therefore subject to concerns in certain sectors of the public about the exploration, production and transportation of natural gas and other fossil fuels and the consumption of fossil fuels more generally. Legislative and regulatory action, and possible litigation, in response to such public concerns may also adversely affect our operations. We may be subject to future laws, regulations, or actions to address such public concern with fossil fuel generation, distribution and combustion, GHGs and the effects of global climate change. Our customers may also move away from using fossil fuels such as LNG for their power generation needs for reputational or perceived risk-related reasons. These matters represent uncertainties in the operation and management of our business, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) goals, programs, and reporting are increasingly being identified by capital providers and investors as a priority for the energy industry, and access to capital and investors for companies not prioritizing ESG may become increasingly limited.
Spurred by increasing concerns regarding climate change, the energy industry faces growing demand for corporate transparency and a demonstrated commitment to sustainability goals. ESG goals and programs, which typically include extralegal targets related to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and corporate governance, have become an increasing focus of investors and shareholders across the industry. While reporting on ESG metrics remains voluntary, access to capital and investors is likely to favor companies with robust ESG programs in place.
In addition, if ESG metrics and/or reporting become mandatory, our costs of planning, measuring, monitoring, and reporting on our operations could increase and could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.

Our Chinese Joint Venture, BOMAY, has a limited life and is subject to risk that it may not be renewed.
We hold a 40% interest in BOMAY Electric Industries Company, Ltd. (“BOMAY”), which builds electrical systems for sale in China. The majority partner in this foreign joint venture is Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation), who owns 51%. The remaining 9% is owned by AA Energies, Inc. Our joint venture, BOMAY, has a finite life that is set to terminate in 2028. The joint venture may be terminated earlier for valid business reasons including force majeure. In the event the joint venture is to be terminated, either party may acquire the other parties’ interests and continue the operations of the joint venture. Additionally, the term of the joint venture may be extended upon agreement of all parties. In such case, the joint venture shall apply for the extension to the relevant Chinese authority six months before expiration of the venture. At this time, Stabilis has no indication that the joint venture will not be extended; however, U.S. and Chinese political relations are strained and we can provide no assurance that such an extension will occur. The balance of our investment in BOMAY at December 31, 2021 was $12.3 million accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is subject to risk. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion or our investment in BOMAY.
We have operations and investment in foreign countries and we could experience losses from weakening foreign economies as well as unforeseen or unexpected operating, financial, political or cultural factors in these countries.
We have operations in Mexico, Brazil and in China. We could experience losses resulting from weakening foreign economies (including foreign exchange losses), as well as unforeseen or unexpected operating, financial, political or cultural factors in these countries. Strained diplomatic and political relationships between the United States and these foreign countries, along with weaker legal systems, could also adversely affect our investment and business opportunities in these countries. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the value of our assets in foreign countries.
Our ability to maintain our liquidity may be materially and adversely affected if any significant customer fails to perform its contractual obligations for any reason or if we are unable to access the capital markets.
Our principal sources of liquidity have consisted of cash on hand, cash provided by our operations, and distributions from our BOMAY joint venture. Our ability to generate cash is substantially dependent upon the performance by customers under contracts that we have entered into, and we could be materially and adversely affected if any significant customer fails to perform its contractual obligations for any reason. In addition, as a result of the disruptions caused by COVID-19 and the volatility in the energy markets, we believe we are exposed to heightened credit and performance risk of our customers and contractual counterparties.
The Company may, from time to time, enter into credit arrangements or finance lease obligations. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, approvals or amendments to our financings outstanding from time to time, or if additional funding is only available on terms that we determine are not acceptable to us, we may be unable to fully execute our business plan and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, we may need to adjust the timing of our planned capital expenditures depending on the requirements of financing arrangements and availability of such additional funding. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on financial, economic and market conditions, and our progress in executing our business strategy and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional debt financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants that could limit our flexibility in conducting future business activities and could result in us expending significant resources to service our obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects.
Risks Inherent in an Investment in Us
Investment in us is speculative.
Our strategy may not be successful, and if unsuccessful, we may be unable to modify it in a timely and successful manner. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to implement our strategy on a timely basis, if at all, or achieve our internal model or that our assumptions will be accurate. Accordingly, your investment in our company is speculative and subject to a high degree of risk, and you should understand that there is a possibility of the loss of your entire investment. Our limited history also means that we continue to develop and implement various policies and procedures including those related to data privacy and other matters.
We will continue to incur significant capital and operating expenditures while we develop infrastructure for our supply chain and other future projects. We will need to invest significant amounts of additional capital to implement our strategy. We could
28

experience delays beyond the expected development period, which could increase the level of operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Our future liquidity may also be affected by the timing of construction financing availability in relation to the incurrence of construction costs and other outflows and by the timing of receipt of cash flows under our customer contracts in relation to the incurrence of project and operating expenses. Our ability to generate any positive operating cash flow and achieve profitability in the future is dependent on, among other things, our ability to develop an efficient supply chain and successfully and timely complete necessary infrastructures and fulfill our gas delivery obligations under our customer contracts.
We may incur losses over the next several years and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We may continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses the Company incurs may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:
• seek to identify additional expansion of business operation opportunities;
• develop manufacturing processes and distribution processes;
• establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our business and products;
• hire additional personnel;
• add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our business development and planned future commercialization efforts.
To become and remain profitable, we must develop and execute our business plan. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of the Company and could impair our ability to raise capital, maintain our existing business operations and development efforts, expand our business or continue our operations and may require us to raise additional capital that may dilute the ownership interest of common stock holders. A decline in the value of the Company could also cause stockholders to lose all or part of their investment.
Our Company may need substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be compelled to delay, reduce or eliminate portions of our existing business operations and development efforts.
We expect our expenses to increase in parallel with our ongoing activities. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate parts of our existing business and development efforts.
We may need to raise additional funds to pursue business activities and opportunities. Additionally, our funding needs may fluctuate significantly based on a number of factors. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders or restrict our operations.
We expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of common stock holders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts.
Our common stock is thinly traded with a limited market and volatile.
There is currently a limited public market for our common stock. Holders of our common stock may, therefore, have difficulty selling their shares, should they decide to do so. In addition, there can be no assurances that any shares which are purchased will be sold without incurring a loss. The market price of our shares may not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value, and may not be indicative of the market price for our common stock in the future. Finally, the purchase or sale of relatively small common stock positions
29

may result in disproportionately large increases or decreases in the price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop, or if one should develop, there is no assurance that it will be sustained.
Additionally, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate. Market prices for securities of energy producers, distributors and other businesses in the energy generation and distribution industry have been particularly volatile. In addition to being thinly traded, some of the factors that may cause the market price of the common stock of the Company to fluctuate include:
• our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for LNG business expansions, and delays or failures to obtain such approvals;
• failure of any of our business strategy to achieve commercial success;
• issues in developing and expanding our LNG infrastructure and facilities, and service and delivery operations;
• the results of our current and any future business operations related to LNG distribution or production;
• the entry into, or termination of, key agreements, including key commercial partner agreements;
• the initiation of, material developments in, or conclusion of litigation to enforce or defend any of our rights under our material contracts or defend against the rights of others;
• the introduction of technological innovations or new energy products or methods of distribution that compete with our potential products;
• the loss of key employees;
• changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if any, who cover our common stock;
•fluctuations in actual and anticipated future commodity prices;
• general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our research and development expenditures; and
• period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. In addition, we may become involved in securities class action litigation or shareholder litigation in connection with the Share Exchange. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all costs and damages.
If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish negative evaluations or recommendations, our share price could decline.
The trading market for our common stock may be impacted by the availability or lack of research and reports that third-party industry or financial analysts publish about us. There are many large, publicly-traded companies active in the energy and power generation and distribution industry, which may mean it will be less likely that we receive widespread analyst coverage. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If we do not receive adequate coverage by reputable analysts that have an understanding of our business and industry, we could fail to achieve visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
We are a “smaller reporting company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.
We are a “smaller reporting company,” within the meaning of the Exchange Act. As a “smaller reporting company,” we are subject to lesser disclosure obligations in our SEC filings compared to other issuers. Specifically, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings, are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to
30

analyze our operating results and financial prospects and make our common stock less attractive to investors. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
Casey Crenshaw has voting control over our Company.
As of December 31, 2021, Casey Crenshaw has beneficial ownership of 73.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Crenshaw may control all matters that require stockholder approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, Mr. Crenshaw may unilaterally approve the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership makes it unlikely that any other holder or group of holders of our common stock will be able to affect the way the Company is managed or the direction of its business. Mr. Crenshaw’s interests with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting the Company, such as future acquisitions, financings and other corporate opportunities and attempts to acquire the Company, may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership control may:
• delay, defer or prevent a change in control;
• entrench its management and the board of directors;
• impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the company that other stockholders may desire; or
•exempt us from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of other public companies.
This concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning stock of a company with significant stockholders.
We may have conflicts of interest arising out of transactions with parties related to Casey Crenshaw.
We enter into transactions with entities managed or controlled by Casey Crenshaw in the ordinary course of business as described in Item 13 herein which may result in conflicts of interest. If conflicts arise in connection with such related party transactions we cannot assure you that such conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
In addition to Mr. Crenshaw’s ability to control all matters that require stockholder approval, provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Florida law could make an acquisition of the Company, which may be beneficial to its stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our corporate charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our Company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, because the Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by stockholders to replace or remove the current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the Board of Directors. Among other things, these provisions:
• allow the authorized number of our directors to be fixed only by resolution of our Board of Directors;
• establish advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings and nominations to our Board of Directors;
• require that stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called stockholder meeting or by our stockholders by written consent of the holders of over 50% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast;
• authorize our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a shareholder rights plan, or so-called “poison pill,” that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors;
• require the proposal of our Board of Directors and the approval of the holders of over 50% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast to amend our charter; and
• require the approval of the holders of over 50% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast to amend our bylaws.
31

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Florida, we are governed by the provisions of Section 607.0901 and 607.0902 of the Florida Business Corporation Act.
In general, Section 607.0901 regulates certain transactions between a corporation and an “interested shareholder,” one who beneficially owns more than ten percent of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. The statute provides significant protection to minority shareholders by assuring that the transactions covered by the statute are either (a) procedurally fair (i.e., the transaction is approved by disinterested directors or disinterested shareholders) or (b) substantively fair (i.e., result in a fair price to the shareholders).
In general, Section 607.0902 focuses on the acquisition of “control shares” in an issuing public corporation. When control shares are acquired in a “control share acquisition,” the shares do not have voting rights. Voting rights may be restored only if the bidder files an acquiring person statement and requests a shareholder meeting to vote on whether the bidder’s shares should be accorded voting rights. Voting rights are restored only to the extent approved by the disinterested shareholders (which excludes both the bidder and management shareholders). Alternatively, the bidder’s shares will have voting rights if the acquisition is approved by the target company’s board of directors. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.
We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The current expectation is that for the foreseeable future, we will retain our future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the board of directors deems relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain, if any, for any stockholders for the foreseeable future.
Our present and future success depends on key members of our management team and certain employees and our ability to retain such key members, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.
We are highly dependent on principal members of our management team and certain of our other employees. The loss of the services of any member of our management team could disrupt our operations, adversely impact the achievement of our objections and increase our exposure to the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. We have not entered into employment agreements with Mr. Puhala and certain other members of our management team, and any of them could leave our employment at any time.
Our success will also depend on pre-existing relationships with third parties. Any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our success will be dependent on the ability to maintain and renew relationships with pre-existing third-party relationships. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain pre-existing business relationships, or enter into or maintain new business relationships, on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure to maintain important pre-existing third-party relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
General Risk Factors
Weakened global macro-economic and geopolitical conditions may adversely affect our industry, ability to access capital, business and results of operations.
Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide macro-economic and geopolitical conditions. The United States has experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity was impacted by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy. These global macro-economic conditions can suddenly arise and the full impact of such conditions can remain uncertain. In addition, geopolitical developments, such as existing and potential trade wars and other events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets. Weakened global macro-economic conditions could cause the demand for and price of our products to decrease. In addition, restricted credit conditions could limit our ability to access capital on favorable terms, if at all. A deterioration in the macro-economic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
32

Increased inflation or periods of prolonged inflation may adversely impact the economy, our industry and results of operations.
The Company experienced higher than normal inflationary pressure during the latter part of 2021 which we expect to continue into 2022. Specifically, costs for fuel, repairs, maintenance, electricity, wages for skilled labor and insurance continue to increase. We believe that inflationary pressures are the result of a post-COVID-19 period of recovery, economic growth and demand in recent months. Public concern increased recently with a resurgence in COVID-19 infections due to the Omicron variant during Q4 2021 and early into Q1 2022. This resurgence resulted in reinstatement of certain COVID restrictions in certain parts of the world and uneasiness concerning future demand and growth. However, the effects of the Omicron variant thus far appear to be shorter-lived and have not significantly repressed recent increased economic growth and demand. Increases in economic growth and demand have been limited by skilled labor and transportation resources within our markets resulting in a period of increasing costs. Further, natural gas inventories and production, which decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been slow to respond. While we pass a significant portion of the cost of natural gas and transportation on to our customers, we are not able to pass through all costs which has resulted in margin pressure and decreasing margins.
No assurances can be made about future price trends. As post-COVID-19 pandemic demand continues to evolve, the economy, commodity prices, demand for our products and our cost of operations and share price may all be impacted. The ultimate extent and effects of these impacts are difficult to estimate; however, continued periods of increasing costs could adversely impact our future results and operating cash flows.
The spread of a contagious illness such as COVID-19 or resurgence of a COVID-19 variant, may adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.
The responses of governmental authorities and companies across the world to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced global economic activity. Various containment measures, included business closures, work stoppages, work-from-home directives, shuttering of public spaces and events and/or severe restrictions of global and regional travel, among others, while aiding in the prevention of further spread of the virus, resulted in the slowing of economic growth, reduced demand for crude oil and natural gas and the disruption of global manufacturing supply chains. In addition, federal, state and local governments enacted various measures to try to contain the outbreak of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns.
Our facilities in George West, Texas and Port Allen, Louisiana, as well as our M&I Brazil subsidiary in Brazil, and our 40% interest in BOMAY, a joint venture in China, are critical infrastructure and continued to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the event another contagious illness similar to COVID-19 were to create another pandemic, we expect that we would continue to operate which means that we would be required to keep our employees who operate our facilities safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the illness. In the past, we have taken and continue to take certain precautionary measures to protect the continued safety and welfare of our employees who continue to work at our facilities which include the modification of certain business and workforce practices and work from home policies where appropriate These measures were taken to prevent an outbreak at our facilities but may result in increased costs. Further, if a large number of our employees in those critical facilities were to contract a contagious disease at the same time, our operations could be adversely affected.
The impacts of a contagious illness or resurgence of a new COVID-19 variant remain unknown, but may include, among others:
•deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic conditions and activity, which could further reduce or prolong the sustained low energy prices, or adversely affect global demand for LNG and natural gas;
•disruptions to our operations as a result of the potential health impact on our employees and crew, and on the workforces of our customers and business partners;
•potential reduced cash flows and financial condition, including potential liquidity constraints;
•negative impact on the credit worthiness of our customers and contractual counterparties;
•reduced access to capital, including the ability to refinance any existing obligations, as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to continued declines in global financial markets;
•disruptions, delays or cancellations in the construction of new LNG and natural gas projects, which could limit or adversely affect our ability to pursue future growth opportunities; and
33

•potential deterioration in the financial condition and prospects of our customers or joint venture partners, or attempts by customers or third parties to invoke force majeure contractual clauses as a result of delays or other disruptions.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented a number of cost control measures, including headcount reductions, temporary salary reductions and other measures to adjust to anticipated activity levels and maintain adequate liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company's mitigation efforts to protect employees and manage costs in the event of a new contagious illness or resurgence of COVID-19 will be sufficient to offset the potential adverse impacts. The extent to which our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, liquidity and prospects are affected by a contagious illness outbreak or related volatility in the energy markets will depend on various factors beyond our control and are highly uncertain, including the duration and scope of the outbreak, decreased demand for LNG and the resulting economic effects of the contagious illness.
A cyber incident could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption, operational delays and/or financial loss.
Our business has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct day-to-day operations. We depend on digital technology to manage our operations and other business processes and to record financial, operating and other sensitive data. Our business partners, including vendors, customers and financial institutions, are also dependent on digital technology. Our technologies, systems networks, and those of our business partners, may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the disruption of our business operations. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any cyber vulnerabilities. A cyber incident could lead to losses of sensitive information, critical infrastructure, personnel, or capabilities essential to our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings and may experience unfavorable outcomes.
In the future we may be subject to material legal proceedings in the course of our business, including, but not limited to, actions relating to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial and tax matters. Such legal proceedings may involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief or might necessitate changes to our business or operations, and the defense of such actions may be both time consuming and expensive. Further, if any such proceedings were to result in an unfavorable outcome, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
We will continue to incur costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies.
We incur and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries did not incur as private companies, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. These rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations may also make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) or as executive officers, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and could cause our business or stock price to suffer.
If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our operating results and our ability to operate its business could be harmed.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In addition, we are required to be compliant with public company internal control requirements mandated under Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are implementing measures designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including the hiring of accounting personnel and establishing new accounting and financial reporting procedures to establish an appropriate level of internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot provide assurances that we will be
34

successful in doing so. If we are unable to successfully implement internal controls over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting, and our stock price, may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with the applicable stock exchange listing requirements.
Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify existing processes and take significant time to complete. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase operating costs and harm the business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, including trends that might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations or cash flows.
OVERVIEW
During 2021, the Company operated and managed its business through two operating segments: LNG and Power Delivery.
LNG Segment
Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries is an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets across North America through its LNG segment. We provide LNG solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, industrial, utility, pipeline, mining, energy, remote clean power, and high horsepower transportation markets. LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is not available, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. Our customers use LNG as a partner fuel for renewable energy, and as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil (including diesel fuel and other fuel oils) and propane, among others to provide both environmental and economic benefits. We believe that these alternative fuel markets are large and provide significant opportunities for LNG substitution.
We also have the capability, knowledge and expertise to deliver other clean energy fuels still in commercial development such as hydrogen, renewable natural gas and synthetic natural gas which we believe will play an increasingly important role in the energy transition as clean energy initiatives increase globally, including the development of hydrogen powered marine vessels, fueling station infrastructure and fuel cell technologies.
We believe that LNG as well as other clean energy solutions will provide an important balance between environmental sustainability, security and accessibility, and economic viability when compared to both renewables and other traditional hydrocarbon-based fuels and will play a key role in the energy transition.
Our LNG operations generate revenue by selling and delivering LNG to our customers, renting cryogenic equipment and providing engineering and field support services. We sell our products and services separately or as a bundle depending on the customer’s needs. LNG pricing depends on market pricing for natural gas and competing fuel sources (such as diesel, fuel oil, and propane among others), as well as the customer’s purchased volume, contract duration and credit profile. Stabilis’ customers use LNG in their operations for multiple reasons, including lower and more stable fuel costs, reduced environmental emissions, and improved operating performance.
LNG Production and Sales—Stabilis builds and operates cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, called “liquefiers”, which convert natural gas into LNG through a multiple stage cooling process. We currently own and operate a liquefier that can produce up to 100,000 LNG gallons per day in George West, Texas and a liquefier that can produce up to 30,000 LNG gallons per day in Port Allen, Louisiana, which was purchased on June 1, 2021. We also purchase LNG from third-party production sources which allows us to support customers in markets where we do not own liquefiers. We make the determination of LNG and transportation supply sources based on the cost of LNG, the transportation cost to deliver to regional customer locations, and the reliability of the supply source.
Transportation and Logistics Services—Stabilis offers our customers a “virtual natural gas pipeline” by providing them with turnkey LNG transportation and logistics services in North America. We deliver LNG to our customers’ work sites from both our own production facility and our network of 37 third-party production sources located throughout North America. We own a fleet of LNG fueled trucks and cryogenic trailers to transport and deliver LNG. We also outsource similar equipment and transportation services for LNG from qualified third-party providers as required to support our customer base.
Cryogenic Equipment Rental—Stabilis owns and operates a rental fleet of approximately 162 mobile LNG storage and vaporization assets, including: transportation trailers, electric and gas-fired vaporizers, ambient vaporizers, storage tanks, and mobile vehicle fuelers. We also own several stationary storage and regasification assets. We believe this is one of the largest fleets of small-scale LNG equipment in North America. Our fleet consists primarily of trailer-mounted mobile assets, making delivery
37

to and between customer locations more efficient. We deploy these assets on job sites to provide our customers with the equipment required to transport, store, and consume LNG in their fueling operations.
Engineering and Field Support Services—Stabilis has experience in the safe, cost effective, and reliable use of LNG and hydrogen in multiple customer applications. We have also developed many processes and procedures that we believe improve our customers’ use of LNG in their operations. Our engineers help our customers design and integrate LNG into their fueling operations and our field service technicians help our customers mobilize, commission and reliably operate on the job site.
Marine Bunkering of LNG—We believe that opportunities to provide LNG as a fuel source to the marine transportation industry represent a significant opportunity for us. As shipping and marine transportation companies expand the use of LNG as a fuel source we believe that we are positioned to capitalize on future growth. The International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) has imposed a global sulfur cap of 0.5% on ships trading outside of established emission control areas starting in January 2020, a level that could be difficult to achieve using common marine fuels, such as heavy fuel oil, but could be achieved using LNG. Large marine vessels can take several hundred thousand gallons of LNG in a single fuel bunkering event.
Other Clean Energy Fuels such as Hydrogen, Renewable Natural Gas and Synthetic Natural Gas—We believe that our technical expertise, production, transportation and storage asset capabilities are favorable for other clean energy fuels such as renewable natural gas, synthetic natural gas and hydrogen, The current market demand for these is currently very small as they are not yet commercially viable compared to more traditional hydrocarbon-based fuel sources (including natural gas). However, production and distribution technologies are currently under development by various manufacturers for all of these. As we believe societies and governments strive for a decarbonized world, development of commercially viable, zero emission fuel technologies could make these a key energy transition fuel in the coming decades. Hydrogen can be transported by trucks, pipelines or ships depending on the targeted end-use. We expect that small-scale hydrogen distribution using equipment and expertise similar to that used for small-scale LNG will play an important role in the ultimate acceptance and utilization of hydrogen as a low to zero emission fuel source.
Power Delivery Segment
As a result of the business combination with American Electric, Stabilis provides electrical switch-gear, generator and instrumentation construction, installation and service to the marine, power generation, oil and gas, and broad industrial market segments in Brazil through its Power Delivery segment. Our products are used to safely distribute and control the flow of electricity from a power generation source to mechanical devices utilizing the power. We also offer a range of electrical and instrumentation turnarounds, maintenance and renovation projects.
Additionally, we build power and control systems for the energy industry in China through our 40% interest in our Chinese joint venture, BOMAY Electric Industries, Inc (“BOMAY”).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our revenues are derived from two operating segments. The LNG Segment supplies LNG to multiple end markets in North America and provides turnkey fuel solutions to help users of propane, diesel and other crude-based fuel products convert to LNG. The Power Delivery Segment provides power delivery equipment and services in Brazil and through our BOMAY joint venture in China. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income. See also Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our segments. In evaluating our operating performance, we believe that gallons delivered and plant utilization are important operating performance metrics in addition to revenues and operating income for our LNG operations. The comparative tables below reflect our consolidated operating results as well as those of our two operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Current Year”) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Prior Year”) (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

Revenue
LNG Product Revenue. During the Current Year LNG Product revenues increased $28.4 million or 104% versus the Prior Year primarily related to:
•An increase of 23.0 million LNG gallons delivered compared to the Prior Year particularly with power generation customers; and
•Increased natural gas prices compared to the Prior Year which are passed onto our customers. The average price per gallon of natural gas in the Current Year was $0.32 per gallon compared to $0.18 per gallon in the Prior Year.
Rental, Service, and Other Revenue. Rental, service and other revenues increased by $4.5 million or 51% in the Current Year compared to Prior Year primarily related to the economic recovery and a higher concentration of current projects with additional equipment and labor revenues from projects in Mexico and with U.S. power generation customers.
Power Delivery. Power Delivery revenue increased $2.7 million or 52% in the Current Year due to new contracts resulting from increased demand from post COVID-19 recovery.
40

Operating Expenses
Costs of LNG Product. Cost of product in the Current Year increased $24.8 million or 122% compared to Prior Year. As a percentage of LNG product revenue, these costs increased from 74% in the Prior Year to 81% in the Current Year. The increased costs were attributable to:
•Inflationary pressure including increased costs from higher natural gas prices, increased transportation costs and increased liquefaction costs; and
•Additional LNG gallons delivered.
Costs of Rental, Service, and Other Revenue. This cost increased $2.9 million or 56% in the Current Year primarily related to increased labor and equipment rentals to support the increase in rental, service and other revenues.
Costs of Power Delivery. Costs increased $1.7 million or 39% in the Current Year due to new contracts.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.6 million or 61% during the Current Year as compared to the Prior Year due to
•$2.2 million related to the immediate vesting of restricted stock units as well as $0.8 million of severance and legal expenses associated with our executive transition;
•$0.3 million related to an expense of capitalized engineering designs;
•Increased compensation related to on-going stock-based compensation, increased headcount and commissions associated with revenue growth; and
•Increased travel costs.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense increased by less than 1% during the Current Year as compared to the Prior Year due to assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives, offset by additional depreciation expense on our Port Allen facility which was acquired on June 1, 2021.
Impairment of right-of-use lease asset.. During the Current Year, we recorded an impairment of $0.4 million related to the settlement and release of our Houston office lease. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our lease settlement.
Gain on the disposal of fixed assets. The gain on disposal of fixed assets in the Current Year was $24 thousand compared to $283 thousand in the Prior Year.
Net Equity Income From Foreign Joint Ventures' Operations
Income from Investments in Foreign Joint Ventures. Income from investments in foreign joint ventures decreased by $0.6 million, or 21%, in the Current Year compared to the Prior Year primarily due to increased administrative costs in the Current Year.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense increased by $0.2 million in the Current Year primarily due to interest associated with the Company's advancing loan with AmeriState Bank.
Interest expense, net - related parties. Related party interest expense decreased by $0.3 million during the Current Year as compared to the Prior Year primarily related to repayment of the short-term note payable - related party of $1.1 million as further discussed in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the maturity of capital leases in 2020 and January of 2021, partially offset by a scheduled increase in interest rates in the Current Year.
Other income (expense). Other income was $1.2 million in the Current Year compared to expense of $57 thousand in the Prior Year. Current Year income related to the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness.
41

Income tax expense
The Company incurred state and foreign income tax expense of $0.8 million during the Current Year primarily related to foreign taxes paid in connection with the cash dividend received from our BOMAY joint venture. The Company incurred state income and foreign tax expense of $0.3 million in the Prior Year. No U.S. federal income tax benefit was recorded for the Current Year or Prior Year 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.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
We did not experience significant variations in volume of LNG delivered to our customers during 2021, and we do not expect future volumes to be significantly impacted by seasonal variations. However, our revenues are susceptible to variations due to changes in the price of natural gas as we pass this cost onto our customer. The price of natural gas can fluctuate at any time during the year due to isolated factors, but on average, natural gas prices tend to be higher in peak winter and peak summer months when heating and cooling demand is seasonally higher.
The Company experienced higher than normal inflationary pressure during the latter part of 2021 which we expect to continue into 2022. Specifically, costs for fuel, repairs, maintenance, electricity, wages for skilled labor and insurance continue to increase. We believe that inflationary pressures are the result of a post-COVID-19 period of recovery, economic growth and demand in recent months. Public concern increased recently with a resurgence in COVID-19 infections due to the Omicron variant during Q4 2021 and early into Q1 2022. This resurgence resulted in reinstatement of certain COVID restrictions in certain parts of the world and uneasiness concerning future demand and growth. However, the effects of the Omicron variant thus far appear to be shorter-lived and have not significantly repressed recent increased economic growth and demand. Increases in economic growth and demand have been limited by skilled labor and transportation resources within our markets resulting in a period of increasing costs. Further, natural gas inventories and production, which decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been slow to respond. While we pass a significant portion of the cost of natural gas and transportation on to our customers, we are not able to pass through all costs which has resulted in margin pressure and decreasing margins.
No assurances can be made about future price trends. As post-COVID-19 pandemic demand continues to evolve, the economy, commodity prices, demand for our products and our cost of operations and share price may all be impacted. The ultimate extent and effects of these impacts are difficult to estimate; however, continued periods of increasing costs could adversely impact our future results and operating cash flows.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, our principal sources of liquidity have consisted of cash on hand, cash provided by our operations, and distributions from our BOMAY joint venture. Additionally, the Company obtained equipment financing from MG Finance, a related party. During the Current Year, our principal sources of liquidity were cash provided by our operations and an advancing loan facility with AmeriState Bank in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million. We have used a portion of our cash flows generated from operations to invest in fixed assets to support growth as well as to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our borrowings and increased working capital needs resulting from growth.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $12.4 million in outstanding debt (net of debt issuance costs) and finance lease obligations (of which $2.1 million is due in 2022). Future availability under the advancing loan facility was $2.0 million at December 31, 2021.
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the LNG industry. The Company has implemented a number of cost control measures and increased pricing to customers in response to inflationary costs; however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flows in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. Over the last two quarters of 2021, we experienced a significant increase in sales. Further, we have implemented cost rationalization programs to eliminate unnecessary spending and we have increased our pricing to our customers. Accordingly, management believes the business will generate sufficient cash flows from its operations along with availability under our advancing loan facility that is sufficient to fund the business for the next 12 months. As we continue to grow, management continues to evaluate additional financing alternatives, however, there is no guarantee that additional financing will be available or available at terms that would be beneficial to shareholders.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.9 million and $1.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million as compared to the Prior Year was primarily attributable to increased revenues and improved profitability when excluding noncash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, impairment charges and the gain on extinguishment of debt pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP Loan”).
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $7.5 million and $0.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net cash used in the Current Year was primarily due to the acquisition of the LNG plant in Port Allen, Louisiana and purchases of vaporizers and other LNG equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $3.2 million net cash used by financing activities for 2020. Cash provided from financing activities for the Current Year primarily related to proceeds received from the AmeriState Bank loan facility, partially offset by payments made on notes payable including from related parties. Cash used by financing activities of $3.2 million from the Prior Year was primarily attributable to payments of $5.2 million made on notes payable including from related parties partially offset by $2.0 million of borrowings, $1.1 million of which was received pursuant to the PPP Loan.
Future Cash Requirements
Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including costs associated with fuel sales, capital expenditures, debt repayments and repurchases, equipment purchases, maintenance of LNG production facilities, mergers and acquisitions (if any), pursuing market expansion, supporting sales and marketing activities and other general corporate purposes. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations and repay our debt, we may elect to pursue additional financing activities such as refinancing existing debt, or debt or equity offerings to provide flexibility with our cash management. Certain of these alternatives may require the consent of current lenders or stockholders, and there is no assurance that we will be able to execute any of these alternatives on acceptable terms or at all.
Capital Expenditures
We anticipate between $4.0 million to $6.0 million in capital expenditures in 2022. These capital expenditures primarily relate to the addition of rolling stock and replacement assets.

Debt Level and Debt Compliance
We had total indebtedness net of debt issuance costs of $12.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Expected maturities excluding debt issuance costs of $0.4 million at December 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands).

2022 | $ | 2,131
2023 | 2,567
2024 | 774
2025 | 1,142
2026 | 1,142

Total long-term debt, including current maturities and debt issuance costs | $ | 12,708

We expect our total interest payment obligations relating to our indebtedness to be approximately $0.6 million for the year ending December 31, 2022. Certain of the agreements governing our outstanding debt, which are discussed in Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, have certain covenants with which we must comply. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
We are committed to make cash payments in the future pursuant to certain of our contracts. The following table summarizes certain contractual obligations in place as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

______________
(1)Obligation with AmeriState Bank to provide for an advancing term loan facility for working capital needs for our LNG liquefaction plant in Texas in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million. The term loan facility matures on April 8, 2031 and bears interest at 5.75% per annum through April 8, 2026, and the U.S. prime lending rate plus 2.5% per annum thereafter.
(2)Obligation is a secured promissory note payable to MG Finance, a related party. The note as amended bears interest at 6% and matures in December 2023. The debt is secured by certain equipment of the Company.
(3)Operating lease obligations primarily relate to office lease space in Washington and Brazil. The Washington lease renewed in 2018 for an additional 4 year term. We have three facility leases in Brazil expiring at various dates in 2022 and 2024.
See additional discussion of our debt and lease obligations in Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contingencies
In the normal course of our business, we become involved in various litigation matters. In addition, from time to time we are involved in tax and other disputes with various government agencies. Management has used estimates in determining our potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in our financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in estimate related to these exposures could occur, but we do not expect such changes in the estimated costs
44

would have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 13 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our contingencies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, we had no transactions that met the definition of off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to new accounting standards.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies as they require significant judgments, estimates or are inherently complex.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). 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. Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG product (2) rental, service, and other, and (3) power delivery.
The Company recognizes revenue associated with the sale of LNG at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. In evaluating when a customer has control of the asset, the Company primarily considers whether the transfer of legal title and physical delivery has occurred, whether the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership, and whether the customer accepted delivery and a right of payment exists. Revenues from the providing of services, transportation and equipment to customers is recognized as the service is performed.
Revenue is measured as consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days.
LNG product revenue generated includes the revenue from the product and delivery of the LNG to our customer’s location. Product revenue is recognized upon delivery of the related item to the customer, at which point the customer controls the product and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Product contracts are established by agreeing on a sales price or transaction price for the related item. Revenue is recognized when the customer has taken control of the product. Payment terms for product contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. The Company acts as a principal when using third party transportation companies and therefore recognizes the gross revenue for the delivery of LNG.
Rental, service and other revenue generated by the Company includes equipment and human resources provided to the customer to support the use of LNG and power delivery equipment and services in their application. Rental contracts are established by agreeing on a rental price or transaction price for the related piece of equipment and the rental period which is generally daily or monthly. The Company maintains control of the equipment that the customer uses and can replace the rented equipment with similar equipment should the rented equipment become inoperable or the Company chooses to replace the
45

equipment for maintenance purposes. Revenue is recognized as the rental period is completed and for periods that cross month end, revenue is recognized for the portion of the rental period that has been completed to date. Payment terms for rental contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for rental revenue are considered to be satisfied as the rental period is completed based upon the terms of the related contract. LNG service revenue generated by the Company consists of mobilization and demobilization of equipment and onsite technical support while customers are consuming LNG in their applications. Service revenue is billed based on contractual terms that can be based on an event (i.e. mobilization or demobilization) or an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized as the event is completed or work is done. Payment terms for service contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for service revenue are considered to be satisfied as the event is completed or work is done per the terms of the related contract.
Power Delivery revenue is generated from time and material projects, consulting services, and the resale of electrical and instrumentation equipment. Revenue is billed based on contractual terms that can be based on an event or an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized as the event is completed or work is done. Payment terms for service contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for service revenue are considered to be satisfied as the event is completed or work is done per the terms of the related contract. The resale of electrical and instrumentation equipment is billed upon delivery and are generally due within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice.
All outstanding accounts receivable, net of allowance, on the consolidated balance sheet are typically due and collected within 60 days.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
The determination and calculation of impairment requires significant judgment regarding estimates of fair value and the projection of future cash flows.
LNG liquefaction facilities, and other long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a particular asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value for the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are based on projections of future operating results; these projections contain estimates of the value of future contracts that have not yet been obtained, future commodity pricing and our future cost structure, among others. Projections of future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from actual results. Management reviews its estimates of cash flows on an ongoing basis using historical experience, business plans, overall market conditions, and other factors.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, and intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. We currently test goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter unless we determine that a triggering event has occurred requiring an earlier test. We completed our annual assessment of goodwill during 2020 and 2021 and determined no impairment of goodwill was warranted.
Income Taxes
The calculation of income taxes is inherently complex. Additionally, the determination of the adequacy of any needed valuation allowance requires significant judgment. Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in
46

recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value Measurements
The determination of fair value requires significant judgements and estimates by management. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in the fair value measurements, the fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs—Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby, allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company encounters several significant types of market risks including commodity and interest rate risks.
Commodity Price Risk
Due to the nature of the LNG distribution business, the Company has short term agreements with suppliers to contract for LNG purchases. These contracts extend for various period and minimums. The index rate pricing for natural gas may increase or decrease in the future based upon market conditions.
Commodity price risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We are able to limit our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices by structuring our contract pricing with customers so that it mirrors the volatility in our supply cost with vendors. Our exposure to market risk associated with LNG price changes may adversely impact our business. We do not currently have any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in commodity prices, but to mitigate the effect of fluctuations in LNG prices on our operations, we may enter into various derivative instruments in the future.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate subsidiaries in Brazil and Mexico and maintain an equity method investment in our Chinese joint venture, BOMAY. The functional currency of the Brazilian and Mexican subsidiaries are the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso, respectively. The functional currency of the Chinese joint venture is the Chinese Yuan. The assets and liabilities of the foreign equity investees and foreign subsidiaries, denominated in foreign currency, are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date and net sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustment totaling $351 thousand has been recorded as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of taxes, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, we had a non-U.S. dollar denominated working capital balance of approximately $1.9 million. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate would reduce our working capital balance by approximately $0.2 million.
We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against such fluctuations.
47

Market Risk
The markets in which our power delivery operations participate are capital intensive and cyclical in nature. The volatility in customer demand is greatly driven by the change in the price of oil and gas. These factors influence the release of new capital projects by our customers, which are traditionally awarded in competitive bid situations. Coordination of project start dates is matched to the customer requirements and projects may take a number of months to complete; schedules also may change during the course of any particular project.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Stabilis Solutions, Inc.
Houston, Texas
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) represented especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

STABILIS SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
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”) to multiple end markets across North America. The Company also distributes LNG from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers.
The Company is a supplier of LNG 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 operates an LNG production facility in George West, Texas to service customers in Texas and the greater Gulf Coast region. On June 1, 2021 the Company closed on the purchase of an LNG production facility in Port Allen, Louisiana.
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”).
On July 26, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company completed the Share Exchange with American Electric Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("American Electric"). 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 LLC became a direct 100% owned subsidiary of American Electric and PEG became an indirectly-owned 100% subsidiary of American Electric. Under 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 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 outstanding as of July 26, 2019.
Because the former owners of Stabilis LLC owned 88.4% of the voting stock of the combined company immediately following the Effective Date and certain other factors including, that directors designated by LNG Investment constituted a majority of the board of directors, Stabilis LLC is treated as the acquiror of American Electric in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. As a result, the Share Exchange is treated by American Electric as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying 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, has negative working capital and 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. The Company has recently experienced its highest ever revenue, including a resumption of activity with existing customers as well as new revenue opportunities, particularly in Mexico and with power generation customers. Further, the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
56

On April 8, 2021, the Company obtained a new advancing loan facility, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million, of which $8.0 million was drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The Company's management believes that it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations, and that its current working capital, access to its advancing loan facility and revenue growth of the business will generate sufficient cash to fund the business for 12 months following the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Reclassifications
Presentation of certain prior year amounts have been reclassified or combined into one line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and 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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of the 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 asset acquisitions, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts held with major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its deposits of cash and cash equivalents in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
(c) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recognized when products are sold. The Company extends credit to many of its customers in the ordinary course of business. Generally, these sales are unsecured.
Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. At December 31, 2021 our allowance for bad debts was $0.2 million. At December 31, 2020, management believed all balances were fully collectible such that no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.
(d) Inventories
LNG inventory consists of LNG produced that is either (1) in a storage container at our plant or (2) in a storage trailer that is in transit to a customer. Inventory quantities are measured at each reporting period and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Power delivery inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with material value determined using an average cost method. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, inventory is primarily raw materials for use on service jobs in Brazil.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions, renewals, and capital improvements are capitalized, whereas expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the applicable remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate
57

asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Property, plant, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flows basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flows models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(f) Goodwill
Our balance of goodwill was $4.5 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, and intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. All of our goodwill was recognized from business acquisitions during the third quarter of 2019 and is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. A triggering event occurs when there are changes in circumstances or events that indicate the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. Based upon review of qualitative factors, no impairments of goodwill were identified for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(g) Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheet unless we are reasonably certain at inception of the lease that we will renew the lease for a period that extends the initial term longer than 12 months All leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, whether classified as operating or finance, are recorded to our consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, determined at lease commencement. Determination of the present value of lease payments requires a discount rate. We use the implicit rate in the lease agreement when available. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate; therefore, we use a weighted average borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. Certain of our leases contain non-lease components which are not separated from the lease components when calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability per our use of the practical expedient to combine both components of an arrangement for all classes of leased assets. See also Note 10 for a further discussion or our leases.
(h) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). 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. Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG product (2) rental, service, and other, and (3) power delivery.
The Company recognizes revenue associated with the sale of LNG at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. In evaluating when a customer has control of the asset, the Company primarily considers whether the transfer of legal title and physical delivery has occurred, whether the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership, and whether the customer accepted delivery and a right of payment exists. Revenues from the providing of services, transportation and equipment to customers is recognized as the service is performed. Revenue is measured as consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days. See also Note 2 for a further discussion of our revenues.
(i) Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for each tax jurisdiction
58

in which we operate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and in the state of Texas. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities for years after 2017.
(j) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing net income available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options and warrants were exercised. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our earnings per share and our diluted earnings per share were the same as we had no dilutive securities because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect. See also Note 14 for a further discussion of common shares and other securities.
(k) Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
(l) Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in the fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
Level 1 Inputs —Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs — Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby, allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable and finance lease obligations approximates fair value because the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, are measured at fair value using quoted market prices or, to the extent that there are no available quoted market prices, market prices for similar assets or liabilities.
(m) Foreign Currency Gains and Losses
Foreign currency translations are included as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). The Company has determined the local currency of its foreign subsidiaries and foreign joint ventures to be the functional currency. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 830), the assets and liabilities of the foreign equity investees and foreign subsidiaries, denominated in foreign currency, are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the
59

consolidated balance sheet date and net sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
(n) Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. See also Note 14 for further discussion of our stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU No. 2019-12 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
(b) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU No. 2020-04”), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
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 receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies 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. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, Stabilis has not elected to early adopt the standard. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. if any.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenues when the transfer of promised goods or services are delivered to our customers in accordance with the applicable customer contract and we are entitled to be paid by the customer. Revenues are measured as consideration specified in the contract and exclude any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days.
LNG Segment
Revenues from contracts with customers within our LNG Segment are disaggregated into (1) LNG product (2) rental, service, and (3) other.
LNG product revenue generated includes the revenue from the product and delivery of LNG to our customer’s location. Product revenue is recognized upon delivery of the related item to the customer, at which point the customer controls the product and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Product contracts are established by agreeing on a sales price or transaction price for the related item. Revenue is recognized when the customer has taken control of the product. Payment terms
60

for product contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. The Company acts as a principal when using third party transportation companies and therefore recognizes the gross revenue for the delivery of LNG.
Rental, service and other revenue generated by the Company includes equipment and human resources provided to the customer to support the use of LNG and power delivery equipment and services in their application. Rental contracts are established by agreeing on a rental price or transaction price for the related piece of equipment and the rental period which is generally daily or monthly. The Company maintains control of the equipment that the customer uses and can replace the rented equipment with similar equipment should the rented equipment become inoperable or the Company chooses to replace the equipment for maintenance purposes. Revenue is recognized as the rental period is completed and for periods that cross month end, revenue is recognized for the portion of the rental period that has been completed to date. Payment terms for rental contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for rental revenue are considered to be satisfied as the rental period is completed based upon the terms of the related contract. LNG service revenue generated by the Company consists of mobilization and demobilization of equipment and onsite technical support while customers are consuming LNG in their applications. Service revenue is billed based on contractual terms that can be based on an event (i.e. mobilization or demobilization) or an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized as the event is completed or work is done. Payment terms for service contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for service revenue are considered to be satisfied as the event is completed or work is done per the terms of the related contract.
Power Delivery Segment
Power Delivery revenue is generated from time and material projects, consulting services, and the resale of electrical and instrumentation equipment. Revenue is billed based on contractual terms that can be based on an event or an hourly rate. Revenue is recognized as the event is completed or work is done over time. Payment terms for service contracts are generally within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice. Performance obligations for service revenue are considered to be satisfied as the event is completed or work is done per the terms of the related contract. The resale of electrical and instrumentation equipment is billed upon delivery and are generally due within thirty days from the receipt of the invoice.
All outstanding accounts receivable, net of allowance, on the consolidated balance sheet are typically due and collected within 60 days.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, such as sales, use and value-added taxes, are excluded from revenue.

3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Our revenues are derived from two operating segments: LNG and Power Delivery. The LNG segment supplies LNG to multiple end markets in North America and provides turnkey fuel solutions to help users of propane, diesel and other crude-based fuel products convert to LNG. The Power Delivery segment provides power delivery equipment and services in Brazil and through our BOMAY joint venture in China. The tables below present our operating results by segment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

7. INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN JOINT VENTURES
BOMAY
We hold a 40% interest in BOMAY Electric Industries Company, Ltd. (“BOMAY”), which builds electrical systems for sale in China. The majority partner in this foreign joint venture is Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation), who owns 51%. The remaining 9% is owned by AA Energies, Inc. The Company made no sales to its joint venture during 2021 and 2020.
We account for our investment in BOMAY using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the joint venture operations earnings or losses is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as equity income (loss) from foreign joint venture operations. Joint venture income increases the carrying value of the joint venture and joint venture losses reduce the carrying value. Dividends received from the joint venture reduce the carrying value. The Company considers dividend distributions received from its equity method investments which do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return on investment and classifies these distributions as operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
The tables below present a summary of BOMAY's assets and liabilities and its operational results as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in U.S. dollars (in thousands):

_______________
(1)Accumulated statutory reserves in equity method investments of $2.66 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020 is included in our investment in BOMAY. In accordance with the People’s Republic of China, (“PRC”), regulations on enterprises with foreign ownership, an enterprise established in the PRC with foreign ownership is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely (i) General Reserve Fund, (ii) Enterprise Expansion Fund and (iii) Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A non-wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide for the above allocation at the discretion of its board of directors. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
(2)The Company’s initial investment in BOMAY differed from the Company’s 40% share of BOMAY’s equity as a result of applying fair value accounting pursuant to ASC 805. The basis difference is being accreted over eight years (the expected life of the joint venture) and summarized in the following table at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands):

| December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020
Original basis difference | $ | 1,165 |  |  | $ | 1,165 |
Less accumulated accretion | (314) |  |  | (185) |
Net remaining basis difference, net at end of period | $ | 851 |  |  | $ | 980 |

The Company's accretion during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled approximately $129 thousand and $129 thousand, respectively, and is included in income from equity investments in foreign joint ventures in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In accordance with our long-lived asset policy, when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management tests long-lived assets for impairment. If the estimated future cash flows are projected to be less than the carrying amount, an impairment write-down (representing the carrying amount of the long-lived asset which exceeds the present value of estimated expected future cash flows) would be recorded as a period expense. In making this evaluation, a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors are considered including national and local economic, political and market conditions, industry trends and prospects, liquidity and capital resources and other pertinent factors. Based on this evaluation for this reporting period, the Company does not believe an impairment adjustment is necessary at December 31, 2021.
Energía Superior
On August 20, 2019, we completed the formation of Energía Superior, a joint venture with CryoMex, to pursue investments in distributed natural gas production and distribution assets in Mexico. CryoMex is controlled by Grupo CLISA, a Monterrey, Mexico-based developer and operator of businesses in multiple end markets including energy. We own a 50% interest in Energía Superior. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not made any material investments in Energía Superior.

M&I Brazil leases offices and facilities in three cities in Brazil that are under operating lease agreements. The M&I Brazil leases expire at various dates through March 2024. The assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments based on Brazil’s General Market Price Index rate. Brazil also has multiple short-term equipment leases which are less than twelve months and have no cancellation penalties, therefore they are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Rent expense totaled approximately $202 thousand and $262 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act" ("CARES ACT"). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that the CARES Act may have on the Company's future operations, financial position, and liquidity.
At December 31, 2021, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $64 million which may be used to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards includes $42.8 million of losses arising prior to December 31, 2017 that expire in 2028 through 2037. Those arising in tax years after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely. Also, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 the operating loss deduction is limited to 80% of taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction). Since the Company has not yet generated significant taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established to fully reserve the Company's net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021. A change in ownership eliminated substantially all net operating loss carryforwards of an acquired subsidiary at July 26, 2019.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit or obligation from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based not only on the technical merits of the tax position based on tax law, but also past administrative practices and precedents of the taxing authority. The tax benefits or obligations are recognized in our financial statements if there is a greater than 50% likelihood of the tax benefit or obligation being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company's tax returns for years 2018 to 2020 remain subject to examination for both federal and state filings.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not anticipate any expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes that its operations comply, in all material respects, with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
74

Litigation, Claims and Contingencies
The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state and local jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If these matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company, does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and it believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Additionally, the Company currently expenses all legal costs as they are incurred.
In October 2018, American Electric received notification of a potential liability of $4.3 million associated with an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of its U.S. business assets and operations to Myers Power Products, Inc. ("Myers"). In 2021, the parties reached an amicable resolution of their differences and as of December 31, 2021, all claims regarding the net working capital were mutually released and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice to refiling same.

75

other person who performs services to the Company and affiliates (including independent contractors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries).
In July 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company's shareholders on September 14, 2021. Under the Amended and Restated Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance was increased from 1,675,000 shares under the 2019 Plan to 4,000,000 shares.
No participant may receive a grant covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in any year and a non-employee member of the Board may not be granted more than 100,000 shares in any year.

Reddinger (formerly the Company's chief executive officer) pursuant to which Mr. Reddinger voluntarily resigned from his employment with the Company and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the separation and release agreement, the Company agreed that Mr. Reddinger’s 500,000 RSUs granted under the 2019 Plan would fully vest as of August 22, 2021, subject to Mr. Reddinger agreeing to hold the shares through December 31, 2022, and his continued compliance with his obligations in his separation and release agreement. The remaining unamortized cost of $0.5 million associated with Mr. Reddinger’s RSUs were expensed upon resignation because the issuance of the shares to Mr. Reddinger was no longer contingent upon any future service or term of employment.
On August 23, 2021, the Company appointed Westervelt T. Ballard, Jr., as its president and chief executive officer. In connection with Mr. Ballard's appointment, the Company granted Mr. Ballard 500,000 RSUs, of which 250,000 RSUs vested immediately on August 23, 2021. The remaining 250,000 will vest over a two-year period in two equal tranches on August 23, 2022, and August 23, 2023, conditioned on Mr. Ballard remaining continuously employed through each vesting date. The fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant was $3.4 million based on the previous day closing price of our common stock on the grant date.
During 2020, the Company granted 781,000 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $1.4 million to employees under the 2019 Plan.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 based on these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that permits the Company, as a smaller reporting company, to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence
The Board has determined that Messrs. Peter C. Mitchell, Edward L. Kuntz and Matthew W. Morris are currently the Company's independent directors as defined by the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") and SEC.
The NASDAQ definition of independence includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings involving the Company, which would prevent a director from being independent.
Board Committees
The Company has appointed certain non-employee Board members to the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. Both Committees are governed by charters adopted by the Board. The charters establish the purposes of the Committees as well as membership guidelines. They also define the authority, responsibilities and procedures of each Committee in relation to the Committee’s role in supporting the Board and assisting the Board in discharging its duties in supervising and governing the Company.
The Audit Committee consist of Messrs. Peter C. Mitchell (Chair), Edward L. Kuntz and Matthew W. Morris. The Board has determined that Mr. Mitchell satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert.”
The Audit Committee oversees, reviews, acts on and reports on various auditing and accounting matters to the Board, including the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our accounting practices. In addition, the Audit Committee oversees our compliance programs relating to legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also reviews any potential related party transactions between the Company and its executive officers and directors.
82

The Compensation Committee consist of Messrs. J. Casey Crenshaw (Chair), Peter C. Mitchell, Edward L. Kuntz and Matthew W. Morris.
The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for developing and maintaining an executive compensation policy that creates a direct relationship between pay levels and corporate performance and returns to stockholders. The Board monitors the results of such policy to assure that the compensation payable to our executive officers provides overall competitive pay levels, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value, rewards superior performance, and is justified by the returns available to stockholders. Additionally, the Board administers compensation plans in a manner consistent with the terms of such plans (including, as applicable, the granting of stock options, restricted stock, stock units and other awards, the review of performance goals established for the relevant plan year, and the determination of performance compared to the goals at the end of the plan year). None of our executive officers served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board.
Business Ethics and Conduct Policy
We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct that is applicable to all employees, officers and members of our Board. The Company has made the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct available on its website at www.stabilis-solutions.com.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the SEC. Based on our review of the copies of such reports, we believe that all such reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were in compliance with such filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview & Oversight of Compensation Program
We believe our success depends on the continued contributions of our named executive officers. We have established our executive compensation program to attract, motivate, and retain our key employees in order to enable us to maximize our profitability and value over the long term. Our policies are also intended to support the achievement of our strategic objectives by aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders through operational and financial performance goals and equity-based compensation. We expect that our compensation program will continue to be focused on building long-term shareholder value by attracting, motivating and retaining talented, experienced executives and other key employees. Currently, our Principal Executive Officer oversees the compensation programs for our executive officers.

In accordance with such rules, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation for our last completed fiscal year.

Elements of Compensation
Historically, we have compensated our named executive officers with annual base salaries, annual cash incentive bonuses and employee benefits. We expect that these elements will continue to constitute the primary elements of our compensation program, although the relative proportions of each element, and the specific plan and award designs, will likely evolve. Additionally, our named executive officers may be awarded long-term equity incentives in the form of restricted stock awards and stock options.
86

Base Salary
Base salary is the fixed annual compensation we pay to each of our named executive officers for carrying out their specific job responsibilities. Base salaries are a major component of the total annual cash compensation paid to our named executive officers. Base salaries are determined after taking into account many factors, including (a) the responsibilities of the officer, the level of experience and expertise required for the position and the strategic impact of the position; (b) the need to recognize each officer’s unique value and demonstrated individual contribution, as well as future contributions; (c) the performance of the company and each officer; and (d) salaries paid for comparable positions in similarly-situated companies.
For the amounts of base salary that our named executive officers received in 2021 and 2020, see “Executive Compensation-Summary Compensation Table.”
Our Board reviews the base salaries for each named executive officer periodically as well as at the time of any promotion or significant change in job responsibilities and, in connection with each review, our Board considers individual and company performance over the course of the relevant time period. The Board may make adjustments to base salaries for named executive officers upon consideration of any factors that it deems relevant, including but not limited to: (a) any increase or decrease in the named executive officer’s responsibilities, (b) the named executive officer’s job performance, and (c) the level of compensation paid to senior executives of other companies with whom we compete for executive talent, as estimated based on publicly available information and the experience of our directors.
Annual Cash Bonuses and Annual Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Mr. Ballard earned non-equity incentive plan compensation of $125,000. Mr. Knight and Mr. Puhala earned non-equity incentive plan compensation of $125,000 and 103,150, respectively. No amounts were earned as non-equity incentive plan compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Other Benefits
We offer participation in broad-based retirement, health and welfare plans to all of our employees.
Risk Considerations
The Compensation Committee considers whether the Company’s compensation policies and practices for both executives and other employees encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking.
Base salaries are not believed to encourage excessive risk taking. The Company’s Executive Performance Bonus Program does focus on achievement of annual Company and/or individual performance goals, but both the Company and individual goals are considered appropriate for achievement without unnecessary and excess risk taking.
Pension Benefits
We have not maintained and do not currently maintain a defined benefit pension plan or a supplemental executive retirement plan. Instead, our employees, including our named executive officers, may participate in a retirement plan intended to provide benefits under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “401(k) Plan”) pursuant to which employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their base compensation to a tax-qualified retirement account in a defined safe harbor 401(k) Plan, subject to limitations.
Non-Qualified Defined Contribution and Other Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans
We have not had and do not currently have any defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.
Amended and Restated 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan
The Company has a long-term incentive plan which was approved by the Board of Directors on December 9, 2019 (the “2019 Plan”). In July 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company's shareholders on September 14,
87

2021. Under the Amended and Restated Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance was increased from 1,675,000 shares to 4,000,000 shares.
Awards under the Amended and Restated Plan may be granted to employees, officers and directors of the Company and affiliates, and any other person who provides services to the Company and its affiliates (including independent contractors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries). Awards may be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, substitute awards, other stock-based awards, cash awards and/or any combination of the foregoing. No participant may receive a grant covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in any year and a non-employee member of the Board may not be granted more than 100,000 shares in any year.
Director Compensation
Our Board of Directors believes that attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors will be critical to the future value growth and governance of our company. The Company established the fee for service as an independent director at the rate of $100,000 per year payable one-half in cash and one-half in common stock for their service during 2020. Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company amended the director’s compensation plan to be payable 100% in cash.
The members of the Board of Directors are also eligible for reimbursement of their expenses incurred in attending board meetings in accordance with our policies.
Directors who are not determined to be independent do not receive any additional compensation for their service on our Board of Directors.
The following table describes the compensation earned by each individual who served as an independent director during 2021:

Equity Compensation Plan

On December 9, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). In July 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company's shareholders on September 14, 2021.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into transactions with our directors, officers and 5% or greater stockholders.
Transactions with Chart E&C
On September 30, 2013, Stabilis LNG Eagle Ford, LLC ("Stabilis LNG EF") entered into a Secured Term Note Payable with Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc. (“Chart E&C”), a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Chart, in connection with a Master Sales Agreement whereby Chart E&C agreed to sell Stabilis LNG EF certain equipment for its liquefaction plant. The total value of the agreement was not to exceed $20.5 million and was billed in advances based on a “Milestone Payment Schedule”. The note contained various covenants that limit the Stabilis LNG EF’s ability to grant certain lines, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee or become contingently liable for obligations of any person except for those allowed by Chart E&C, merge or consolidate into or with a third party or engage in certain asset dispositions and acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, transact with affiliates, prepayment of indebtedness, and issue additional equity interests. Further, the Master Sales Agreement was secured by a $20.0 million equity interest and first lien on all plant assets including land. Borrowings bear interest on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.0% plus the London interbank offered rate.
The Secured Term Note Payable was amended on August 21, 2017 whereby only the payment terms of principal and interest were modified to be payable in eight installments as follows: (i) $2.5 million plus accrued interest due on August, 24, 2017, (ii) $2.5 million plus accrued interest due on August 24, 2018, (iii) $2.5 million plus accrued interest due on August 24, 2019, (iv) four equal payments of $1.5 million plus accrued interest on each anniversary date of August 24, 2019 thereafter, (v) and $0.6 million plus accrued interest on the remaining unpaid balance of the Amended Secured Term Note Payable on August 24, 2024. In the event all principal and interest is paid in full by August 24, 2023, an additional payment of $2.2 million is to be forgiven.
On August 5, 2019, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Chart E&C, Stabilis LLC, and Stabilis LNG EF for the satisfaction of indebtedness of Stabilis LNG to Chart E&C in the principal amount of $7 million (the “Exchanged Indebtedness”) in exchange for unregistered shares of our common stock (such transactions, the “Chart Transaction”). We issued to Chart E&C 1,470,807 shares of Company common stock, based on the per share price of Company common stock of 90% of the average of the dollar volume-weighted average prices per share of the common stock as calculated by Bloomberg for each of the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the third trading day immediately preceding the closing date, which took place on August 30, 2019. At closing, Stabilis LNG EF also paid to Chart E&C an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Indebtedness due through the closing, plus a cash amount to be paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of our Common Stock. Management determined the modifications to be substantial and pursuant to ASC 470, the transaction was treated as a debt extinguishment for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company
90

recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, which is included in Other Income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The exchange agreement released certain collateral (including the Company’s LNG plant) and removed certain covenants of the original Note Payable.
On September 11, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Exchange Agreement, which eliminated the right of Chart E&C to elect an additional exchange of all or any portion of the balance of the unpaid principal amount of the Note. The Exchange Agreement previously provided for Chart E&C to elect an additional exchange, on a second closing date, of all or any portion of the balance of the unpaid principal amount of the Note, for additional shares of our common stock based on the foregoing pricing calculation related to the closing date.
Chart E&C has previously routinely sold equipment to us in the ordinary course of business and on customary commercial terms.
The note contained various covenants that limited the Company's ability to grant certain liens, incur additional indebtedness, guarantee or become contingently liable for obligations of any person except for those allowed by Chart E&C, merge or consolidate into or with a third party or engage in certain asset dispositions and acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, transact with affiliates, prepay indebtedness, and issue additional equity interests.
In 2021, the Company repaid the debt in full totaling approximately $1.1 million.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, American Electric, LNG Investment and AEGIS entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on July 26, 2019 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The shares that are the subject of the Registration Rights Agreement include the American Electric common stock issued to LNG Investment and AEGIS pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to such common stock by way of stock dividend or stock split or combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Registrable Securities”). Such securities will no longer be subject to registration rights when disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement; sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the transferee received securities that are not restricted securities as defined in Rule 144; securities which have ceased to be outstanding; or securities held by holder that is not LNG Investment or AEGIS or an affiliate thereof to whom registration rights have not been transferred in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
Shelf Registrations. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to:
•no later than 180 days following the closing of the Share Exchange, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1, or Form S-3 if we are eligible to use Form S-3, to permit a public resale of all the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act on a continuous basis;
•use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 30 days following the filing (or 90 days following the filing if the SEC notifies us that it will review the registration statement);
•use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities.
If the securities are initially filed on Form S-1, we shall use our commercially reasonable efforts to become and remain eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and convert the registration statement from a Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as we are permitted to do so.
Piggyback Registration Rights. We have also granted piggyback registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we will:
•notify the holders of Registrable Securities not less than 5 days prior to the anticipated filing date, whenever we propose to register any of our securities in an underwritten offering under the Securities Act, subject to certain exemptions described in the Registration Rights Agreement;
•notify the holders of Registrable Securities not less than 5 days prior to the commencement of marketing efforts of an underwritten offering under a shelf registration, subject to certain exemptions described in the Registration Rights Agreement; and
91

•include in any registration statement relating to such underwritten offering, subject to certain restrictions (including specified underwriter cutbacks and priority to the securities we propose to sell), and on a pro rata basis, all Registrable Securities with respect to which we received a request for inclusion in priority to other securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering.
Holdback Agreements. In connection with any underwritten public offering by us or any holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, each holder of Registrable Securities is subject to restrictions on public sale or distribution of similar securities for a lock-up period up to 60 days of the date of the final prospectus or prospectus supplement for the underwritten offering. However, holders of Registrable Securities may not be restricted from effecting any public sale or distribution of securities for more than 120 days in any 12 month period. We are also subject to effecting a public offering of similar securities or hedging transactions related to such securities during a lock-up period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter.
Registration Expenses. We will pay the registration and listing expenses of the holders of the Registrable Securities that are included in a demand or piggyback registration, but shall not be responsible for underwriting fees and disbursements, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.
The Exchange Agreement described above in “Transactions with Chart E&C” granted Chart E&C registration rights for the shares it received and requires the Company prepare and file, no later than 90 days after the Initial Closing, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to permit the public resale of all of the registrable securities received by Chart E&C.
In connection with the Diversenergy Transaction, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain holders of Diversenergy (the “Diversenergy Registration Rights Agreement”). The shares that are the subject of the Diversenergy Registration Rights Agreement include the Company common stock issued in connection with the Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to such common stock by way of stock dividend or stock split, or in exchange for or upon conversion of such shares, or otherwise in connection with a combination of shares, distribution, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization. Such securities will no longer be subject to registration rights when disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement; sold pursuant to Rule 144; securities that become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c)(1), as set forth in a written opinion letter to the transfer agent to such effect; securities otherwise transferred; or securities which have ceased to be outstanding.
Finance Lease Obligations
On December 1, 2019, the Company refinanced its lease agreement with a subsidiary of The Modern Group, Ltd. (“The Modern Group”) for equipment purchases totaling approximately $3.2 million. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company’s monthly principal and interest payments are $232 thousand for the remaining 12 month term at an annual rate of 8.9%. An upfront fee payment of $131 thousand became due July 1, 2020 and the remaining outstanding lease obligation of approximately $648 thousand was due and paid in January 2021. The following individuals serve in various leadership capacities for The Modern Group: Casey Crenshaw (our Chairman of the Board) Ben Broussard (a member of our Board) as Chief Financial Officer of The Modern Group. Casey Crenshaw is the beneficial owner of 25% of the Modern Group and is deemed to jointly control The Modern Group with family members. Stacey Crenshaw (a member of our Board) is the spouse of Casey Crenshaw.
During 2018, Stabilis LLC entered into lease agreements with a subsidiary of The Modern Group to finance vehicles and machinery and equipment totaling approximately $1.5 million payable in equal monthly installments over 24 months at annual interest rate of 10%. The finance lease agreements included purchase options, which were reasonably certain to occur. During 2020, the Company exercised its purchase options on these agreements, which included remaining outstanding lease obligations of $413 thousand. The assets are now owned outright. These assets are included in the Company's property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and the purchase had no effect on the net book value of these assets.
Secured Promissory Note
On August 16, 2019, the Company issued a Secured Promissory Note to M/G Finance Co., Ltd., a related party, in the principal amount of $5.0 million, at an interest rate per annum of 6% until December 10, 2020, and 12% thereafter. The following individuals serve in various leadership capacities for The Modern Group: Casey Crenshaw (our Chairman of the Board) as President and Ben Broussard (a member of our Board) as Chief Financial Officer of both The Modern Group as well as its subsidiary, M/G Finance Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of The Modern Group.

Repayments under the amendment will resume in October 2022 and will be in equal monthly installments through December 2023. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this promissory note.
Term Loan Facility

The loan facility provided the Company with a $0.3 million loan facility of which $0.2 million was drawn and outstanding as of December 31, 2020. All outstanding amounts, including accrued but unpaid interested, became due and was paid in full in June 2020.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing related party transactions involving directors and executive officers. In addition, our Board is responsible for approving all related party transactions between us and any officer or director that would potentially require disclosure. The Board expects that any transactions in which related persons have a direct or indirect interest will be presented to the Board for review and approval but we have no written policy in place at this time.
Director Independence
The Board has determined that Messrs. Peter C. Mitchell, Matthew W. Morris and Edward L. Kuntz are currently the Company's independent directors as defined by the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") and SEC.
The NASDAQ definition of independence includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings involving the Company, which would prevent a director from being independent.
