Description of Business and Basis of Presentation DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
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.
The Company serves customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, energy, industrial, marine bunkering, mining, pipeline, remote power and utility markets. LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is unavailable, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. Additionally, LNG can be used 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.
The Company also builds power and control systems for the energy industry in China through its 40% owned Chinese joint venture, BOMAY Electric Industries, Inc (“BOMAY”). BOMAY is accounted for as an equity investment.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to prevent the information presented herein from being misleading. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 9, 2023.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
The Company believes that the Brazil Operations sold on October 31, 2022, met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation. The classification of these assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations requires retrospective application to financial information for all prior periods presented. Accordingly, the operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022, have been recast on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively. There were no assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022, and no results of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts presented throughout the notes to our Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Company's discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include the fair value of natural gas derivatives, the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivative instruments
The Company had certain natural gas derivative instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as a hedge as well as the type of hedge. The Company has not designated its derivatives as hedges under U.S. GAAP and all resulting gains and losses from changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments are included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company's derivatives.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 was effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Adoption of this standard had no material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
