NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT S (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Effective June 29, 2018, Global Power Equipment Group Inc. changed its name to Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Williams,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise) to better align its name with the Williams business. Since March 19, 2019, the Company’s stock has traded on the OTCQX® Best Market under the ticker symbol “WLMS.” Williams has been safely helping plant owners and operators enhance asset value for more than 50 years. The Company provides a broad range of construction, maintenance and support services to customers in energy, power and industrial end markets. The Company’s mission is to be the preferred provider of construction, maintenance, and specialty services through commitment to superior safety performance, focus on innovation, and dedication to delivering unsurpassed value to its customers.

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed by the Company with the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019 (the “2018 Report”), and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2018 Report. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three month period is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company reports on a fiscal quarter basis utilizing a “modified” 4-4-5 calendar (modified in that the fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31). However, the Company has continued to label its quarterly information using a calendar convention. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist when comparing interim period results. The reporting periods and corresponding fiscal interim periods are as follows:



Reporting Interim Period	Fiscal Interim Period
	2019	2018
Three Months Ended March 31	January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019	January 1, 2018 to April 1, 2018
Three Months Ended June 30	April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019	April 2, 2018 to July 1, 2018
Three Months Ended September 30	July 1, 2019 to September 29, 2019	July 2, 2018 to September 30, 2018

NOTE 2—LIQUIDITY

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that it will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations during the twelve-month period following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (this “Form 10-Q”). These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During 2018, management completed a series of multi-year liquidity initiatives, which included:

Exiting from all of the former Products division businesses;

Reducing the corporate headquarters personnel and consolidating the administrative offices into Tucker, Georgia;

Refinancing the Initial Centre Lane Facility (as defined in Note 9) with the New Centre Lane Facility (as defined in Note 9), which is a four-year, $35.0 million senior secured credit agreement (for additional information, please refer to “Note 9 — Debt”); and

Table of Contents

Entering into the MidCap Facility (as defined in Note 9), which is a three-year, $15.0 million secured asset-based revolving credit facility and allows for up to $6.0 million of non-cash collateralized letters of credit (for additional information, please refer to “Note 9 — Debt”).

The MidCap Facility generally provides adequate liquidity for the Company’s working capital needs. However, due to certain borrowing base eligibility limitations and exclusions within the MidCap Facility, there are instances where the Company would not have sufficient availability under the MidCap Facility to meet its growth working capital requirements. The borrowing base eligibility limitations and exclusions that have the most impact on availability under the MidCap Facility are customer concentration limits, exclusion of receivables from the Company’s joint ventures, and exclusion of receivables related to projects on which there is an underlying surety bond.

In early 2019, the Company identified a large, second quarter 2019 customer project which, for approximately a six week timeframe, will have very significant working capital requirements. Additionally, the project has an underlying payment and performance surety bond making the resulting receivables unavailable for borrowing under the MidCap Facility. The combination of those two factors, if not addressed, would have resulted in the Company having inadequate cash to continue operations. On March 29, 2019, the Company negotiated a contract amendment with the customer which provides for the payment of the Company’s weekly invoices prior to the related payroll disbursements and a consent letter with the lender which increases the Company’s borrowing availability by increasing the concentration limit on a major customer’s receivables during the second quarter. The Company believes the combination of these two measures adequately addresses its near-term liquidity concerns.

As a result, management has concluded that as of the date of this report, management’s plan has alleviated the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company’s liquidity will be periodically, and for certain intervals, significantly constrained due to the working capital requirements that will be needed to execute its plans to grow the business. The risk factors described in the 2018 Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” are still relevant to the Company’s operations.

NOTE 3—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation–Stock Compensation” and applies to all share-based payment transactions to nonemployees in which a grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based awards. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-07, an entity should only re-measure liability-classified awards that have not been settled by the date of adoption and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, which did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which gives entities the option to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of comprehensive tax legislation in December 2017, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), to retained earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019 and elected not to reclassify the income tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and, as a result, there was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASC Topic 842), which, together with its related clarifying ASUs (collectively, “ASU 2016-02”), amended the previous guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms greater than twelve months or leases that contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee can make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize an asset and corresponding liability. Lessees will also be required to provide additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures are intended to supplement the amounts

Table of Contents

recorded in the financial statements and provide additional information about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method, meaning it has been applied to leases that existed or have been entered into on or after January 1, 2019 without adjusting comparative periods in the financial statements. Please refer to “Note 4–Leases” for further discussion of the adoption and the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4—LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, which amended the previous guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms greater than 12 months or leases that contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients in ASC 842-10-65-1(f) that, upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, allows entities to (1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) retain the classification of leases (e.g., operating or finance lease) existing as of the date of adoption and (3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method, and accordingly, the new guidance was applied to leases that existed as of January 1, 2019. This resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities of $8.7 million and right-of-use-assets of $8.5 million on January 1, 2019, which included the impact of eliminating prior year deferred rent. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

The Company primarily leases office space and related equipment, as well as equipment, modular units and vehicles directly used in providing services to our customers. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 10 years. Most leases contain renewal options for varying periods, which are at the Company’s sole discretion and included in the expected lease term if they are reasonably certain of being exercised.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable.

Short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less or leases that are cancelable by the lessee and lessor without significant penalties) are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used in delivering services to its customers. These leases are entered into at agreed upon hourly, daily, weekly or monthly rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision. Such equipment leases are considered short-term in nature unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment will be leased for a term greater than 12 months.

The components of lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:


Lease Cost/(Sublease Income) (in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Operating lease cost	$	1,227
Short-term lease cost		306
Sublease income		(9)
Total lease cost	$	1,524

Lease cost related to finance leases were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Restructuring Charges

In 2018, the Company made the decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Tucker, Georgia and vacated its leased office space in Irving, Texas on September 30, 2018. In March 2019, the Company subleased the Irving, Texas office space until November 2019, when the lease expires. The balance of the restructuring accrual is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table shows the restructuring activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Discontinued Operations

Electrical Solutions

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell its Electrical Solutions segment (which was comprised solely of Koontz-Wagner Custom Controls Holdings LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) in an effort to reduce the Company’s outstanding term debt. The Company determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. In connection with the Company’s decision to sell the Electrical Solutions segment, the Company performed an impairment analysis on this segment’s finite- and indefinite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and trade names, respectively) and determined that their carrying value exceeded their fair value. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.7 million related to these intangible assets. After the impairment charge, the fair value of this segment’s intangible assets was zero at December 31, 2017. Determining fair value is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, considered to be Level 3 inputs. There were no non-recurring fair value re-measurements related to the Electrical Solutions segment during the year ended December 31, 2018 or three months ended March 31, 2019.

In spite of the Company’s efforts, which included retaining financial advisors to sell all or part of Koontz-Wagner’s operations, inside or outside of a federal bankruptcy or state court proceeding (including Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), the proposed disposition did not progress as planned due, primarily, to the absence of viable bids in the sale process, the inability of Koontz-Wagner to fund its ongoing operations or obtain financing to do so, and Koontz-Wagner’s deteriorating financial performance. As a result, on July 11, 2018, Koontz-Wagner filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The filing was for Koontz-Wagner only, not for the Company as a whole, and was completely separate and distinct from the Williams business and operations.

As a result of the July 11, 2018 bankruptcy of Koontz-Wagner, the Company recorded $11.4 million of exit costs, which were included in loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. These charges consisted of a $4.0 million fee related to a fifth amendment of the Initial Centre Lane Facility, a pension withdrawal liability of $2.9 million related to Koontz-Wagner’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 1392 multi-employer pension plan, a $1.8 million negotiated settlement of the Company’s guarantee of Koontz-Wagner’s Houston facility lease agreement and a $2.7 million liability as a result of the Company providing affected Koontz-Wagner employees with 60 days of salary continuation, as well as the difference between each employee’s cost of health care at the time of their employment termination and the cost of continued benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). The Company satisfied the liability related to the lease guarantee settlement and substantially all of the salary and benefit continuation liability through cash payments by the end of 2018. The pension liability is expected to be satisfied by annual cash payments of $0.3 million each, paid in quarterly installments, over the next twenty years.

Mechanical Solutions

On March 21, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of its office building in Heerlen, Netherlands for $0.3 million, resulting in an immaterial gain on sale, which was reflected in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In connection with the sale of its Mechanical Solutions segment during 2017, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the purchaser to provide certain accounting and administrative services for an initial period of nine months. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not provide services for the purchaser. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company provided less than $0.1 million in services for the purchaser, which was included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In April 2019, the purchaser of our former Mechanical Solutions segment went into receivership. As of March 31, 2019, the Company reserved $0.2 million of uncollected receivables related to the transition services agreement. This charge was included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company has remaining balances of $0.2 million and $0.8 million included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on the March 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 7—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s 19,000,381 shares outstanding included 288,137 shares of contingently issued but unvested restricted stock. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s 18,091,066 shares outstanding included 6,060 shares of contingently issued but unvested restricted stock. Restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding, but its impact, if dilutive, is included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of common shares that would be issued upon the vesting and release of restricted stock awards and units.

Basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations were calculated as follows:

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019	2018
Effective income tax rate for continuing operations	13.9%	(14.6)%

The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily because of the full valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.1 million, or 13.9% of pretax income from continuing operations compared with income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or (14.6)% of pretax loss from continuing operations in the same period for 2018. The decrease in income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the corresponding period in 2018 was primarily related to a $0.2 million increase in indefinite-lived deferred tax assets related to an interest expense addback under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code and the post-2017 U.S. net operating loss that can be used to offset indefinitely-lived intangible deferred tax liabilities.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company would have needed to generate approximately $277.8 million and $250.9 million, respectively, of future financial taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may generate earnings that are not subject to U.S. income taxes so long as they are permanently reinvested in its operations outside of the U.S. Pursuant to ASC Topic No. 740-30, undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are no longer permanently reinvested would become subject to deferred income taxes. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any undistributed earnings in its foreign subsidiaries because all of their earnings were either taxed as deemed dividends or included with the provisional estimate of one-time transition tax as of December 31,

2017.

As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company provided for a total liability of $3.4 million, of which $2.5 million was related to our discontinued operations for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal, foreign and state income tax matters, which was included in long-term deferred tax assets and other long-term liabilities. If recognized, the entire amount of the liability would affect the effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2019, the Company accrued approximately $1.7 million, of which $1.3 million was related to our discontinued operations, in other long-term liabilities for potential payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

NOTE 9—DEBT

MidCap Facility

On October 11, 2018, the Company entered into a three-year, $15.0 million Credit and Security Agreement with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), as agent and as a lender, and other lenders that may be added as a party thereto (the “MidCap Facility”). The MidCap Facility is a secured asset-based revolving credit facility that provides borrowing availability against 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the lesser of 80% of eligible contract assets and $1.0 million, after certain customary exclusions and reserves, and allows for up to $6.0 million of non-cash collateralized letters of credit. The borrowing base eligibility limitations and exclusions that have the most impact on availability under the MidCap facility are customer concentration limits, exclusion of receivables from the Company’s joint ventures, and exclusion of receivables related to projects on which there is an underlying surety bond. The Company can, if necessary, make daily borrowings under the MidCap Facility with same day funding. The outstanding loan balance under the MidCap Facility is reduced through the daily automated sweeping of the Company’s depository accounts to the lender’s account under the terms of deposit account control agreements. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had less than $0.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, outstanding under the MidCap Facility, which was included in short-term borrowings on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $5.0 million in available borrowings under the MidCap facility.

Borrowings under the MidCap Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 6.0% per year, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.0%, and are payable in cash on a monthly basis.

The Company must pay a customary unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the average unused portion of the commitments under the MidCap Facility, certain other customary administration fees and a minimum balance fee. In addition, while any letters of credit are outstanding under the MidCap Facility, the Company must pay a letter of credit fee equal to 6.0% per annum, in addition to any other customary fees required by the issuer of the letter of credit.

The Company’s obligations under the MidCap Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of its assets, other than the Excluded Collateral (as defined in the MidCap Facility), subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement, dated as of October 11, 2018 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), entered into by an affiliate of Centre Lane, as a lender under the New Centre Lane Facility (as defined below), and MidCap, as agent, and to which the Company consented. The Intercreditor Agreement was entered into as required by the MidCap Facility and the New Centre Lane Facility. The first priority liens previously granted by the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries in favor of the Centre Lane affiliate in connection with the New Centre Lane Facility are also subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, which, among other things, specifies the relative lien priorities of the secured parties under each of the MidCap Facility and the New Centre Lane Facility in the relevant collateral. It contains customary provisions regarding, among other things, the rights of the respective secured parties to take

Table of Contents

enforcement actions against the collateral and certain limitations on amending the documentation governing each of the MidCap Facility and the New Centre Lane Facility. It additionally provides secured parties under each of the MidCap Facility and the New Centre Lane Facility the option, in certain instances, to purchase all outstanding obligations of the Company under the other respective loan.

The Company may from time to time voluntarily prepay outstanding amounts under the MidCap Facility, in whole or in part, in a minimum amount of $0.1 million. If at any time the amount outstanding under the MidCap Facility exceeds the borrowing base in effect at such time, the Company must repay the excess amount in cash, cash collateralize liabilities under letters of credit, or cause the cancellation of outstanding letters of credit (or any combination of the foregoing), in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. The Company is also required to repay certain amounts outstanding under the MidCap Facility upon the occurrence of certain events involving the assets upon which the borrowing base is calculated, including receipt of payments or proceeds from the Company’s accounts receivable, certain casualty proceeds in excess of $25,000, and receipt of proceeds following certain asset dispositions. The Company also has certain reimbursement obligations in the event of payments by the agent or a lender against draws under outstanding letters of credit.

In the event the MidCap Facility is terminated (by reason of an event of default or otherwise) 90 days or more prior to the maturity date, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment fee in an amount equal to the aggregate commitment under the MidCap Facility at the time of termination, multiplied by 2.0% in the first year following October 11, 2018, 1.5% in the second year, and 1.0% in the first nine months of the third year.

The MidCap Facility requires the Company to regularly provide financial information to the lenders, and, beginning on December 31, 2018, to maintain certain total leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and meet minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA and minimum liquidity requirements (each of which as defined in the MidCap Facility). As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all the contractual requirements.

The MidCap Facility also contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. The MidCap Facility contains covenants that may, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, make investments, engage in mergers, dispositions or sale-leasebacks, engage in new lines of business or certain transactions with affiliates and change accounting policies or fiscal year.

Events of default under the MidCap Facility include, but are not limited to, failure to timely pay any amounts due and owing, a breach of certain covenants or any representations or warranties, the commencement of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, judgments in excess of certain acceptable amounts, certain events related to ERISA matters, impairment of security interests in collateral or invalidity of guarantees or security documents, and a default or event of default under the New Centre Lane Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon default, MidCap would have the right to declare all borrowings under the MidCap Facility to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest and fees, and exercise remedies under the other Financing Documents (as defined in the MidCap Facility).

New Centre Lane Facility

On September 18, 2018, the Company refinanced and replaced its initial Centre Lane Facility, a 4.5-year senior secured term loan facility with an affiliate of Centre Lane as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “Initial Centre Lane Facility”), with a four-year, $35.0 million senior secured credit agreement with an affiliate of Centre Lane as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “New Centre Lane Facility”). The New Centre Lane Facility requires payment of an annual administration fee of $25,000. Borrowings under the New Centre Lane Facility bear interest at LIBOR (with a minimum rate of 2.5%) plus 10% per year, payable monthly in cash. The Company must repay an amount equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Centre Lane Facility in consecutive quarterly installments, beginning on December 31, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The Company must repay an amount equal to 0.50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Centre Lane Facility in consecutive quarterly installments, beginning on September 30, 2019.

The Company’s obligations under the New Centre Lane Facility are guaranteed by all of its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The Company’s obligations are secured by first priority security interests on substantially all of its assets and those of its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. This includes 100% of the voting equity interests of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting equity interests of other directly owned foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

Table of Contents

Beginning on September 19, 2019, the Company may voluntarily prepay the New Centre Lane Facility at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, in a minimum amount of $1.0 million of the outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount being prepaid, plus a prepayment premium, to be calculated as follows (the “Prepayment Premium”):


	Prepayment Premium as a
	Percentage of Aggregate
Period	Outstanding Principal Prepaid
September 19, 2019 to September 18, 2021		1%
After September 18, 2021		0%

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company must prepay an aggregate principal amount equal to 75% of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Centre Lane Facility), minus the sum of all voluntary prepayments, within five business days after the date that is 90 days following the end of each fiscal year. The New Centre Lane Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of certain amounts in the event the Company or its subsidiaries receive proceeds from certain events and activities, including, among others, asset sales, casualty events, the issuance of indebtedness and equity interests not otherwise permitted under the New Centre Lane Facility and the receipt of tax refunds or extraordinary receipts in excess of $500,000, plus, in certain instances, the applicable Prepayment Premium, calculated as set forth above.

The New Centre Lane Facility contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. The New Centre Lane Facility contains covenants that may, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, make investments or capital expenditures, declare or pay dividends, engage in mergers, acquisitions and dispositions, engage in new lines of business or certain transactions with affiliates and change accounting policies or fiscal year.

Events of default under the New Centre Lane Facility include, but are not limited to, a breach of any of the financial covenants or any representations or warranties, failure to timely pay any amounts due and owing, the commencement of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, judgments in excess of certain acceptable amounts, the occurrence of a change in control, certain events related to ERISA matters and impairment of security interests in collateral or invalidity of guarantees or security documents.

Upon a default under the New Centre Lane Facility, the Company’s senior secured lenders would have the right to accelerate the then-outstanding amounts under such facility and to exercise their rights and remedies to collect such amounts, which would include foreclosing on collateral constituting substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its subsidiaries. However, in October 2018, the Company entered into the MidCap Facility, which provides for a secured asset-based revolving credit facility that provides borrowing availability against 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible contract assets; as such, the lenders under the MidCap Facility hold a first priority lien on the Company’s accounts receivable and contract assets.

The Company’s borrowing rate under the New Centre Lane Facility as of March 31, 2019 was 12.5%.

Initial Centre Lane Facility

As disclosed in the 2018 Report, for the period from January 1, 2018 to September 17, 2018, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Initial Centre Lane Facility. The Initial Centre Lane Facility did not provide for working capital borrowings or access to additional letters of credit. These restrictions were addressed in September 2018, at which time the Initial Centre Lane Facility was refinanced and replaced, and October 2018, as a result of the Company entering into the New Centre Lane Facility and the MidCap Facility, respectively.

Letters of Credit and Bonds

In line with industry practice, the Company is often required to provide letters of credit and surety and performance bonds to customers. These letters of credit and bonds provide credit support and security for the customer if the Company fails to perform its obligations under the applicable contract with such customer.

The MidCap Facility allows for up to $6.0 million of non-cash collateralized letters of credit at 6.0% interest, of which the Company had $2.8 million outstanding as of March 31, 2019. There were no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit.

Table of Contents

In addition, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding payment and performance surety bonds of $59.2 million and $51.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 10 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820–Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the exit price, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in the active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, payables and debt instruments. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values, as they are either short-term in nature or carry interest rates that are periodically adjusted to market rates.

NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

The Company is from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company records a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the outcomes of any currently pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted, and therefore, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

A putative shareholder class action, captioned Budde v. Global Power Equipment Group Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas naming the Company and certain former officers as defendants. This action and another action were filed on May 13, 2015 and June 23, 2015, respectively, and on July 29, 2015, the court consolidated the two actions and appointed a lead plaintiff. On May 1, 2017, the lead plaintiff filed a second consolidated amended complaint that named the Company and three of its former officers as defendants. It alleged violations of the federal securities laws arising out of matters related to the Company’s restatement of certain financial periods and claims that the defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions of material fact in certain public disclosures during the putative class period in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5, as promulgated thereunder. The claims were filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who acquired the Company’s stock between September 7, 2011 and

Table of Contents

May 6, 2015, and sought monetary damages of “more than $200 million” on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees. On June 26, 2017, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. After full briefing, on December 27, 2017, the court issued a memorandum opinion and order granting the motion to dismiss and allowing the plaintiffs until January 15, 2018 to file an amended complaint. The court found that, with respect to each of the defendants, plaintiffs failed to plead facts supporting a strong inference of scienter, or the required intent to deceive, manipulate or defraud, or act with severe recklessness. On January 15, 2018, the plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint, and in response the Company filed a renewed motion to dismiss. After full briefing and oral argument, on September 11, 2018, the court dismissed with prejudice the third amended complaint. The court found that, even with plaintiffs’ amended allegations, plaintiffs failed to plead facts supporting a strong inference of scienter. Also on September 11, 2018, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Plaintiffs’ appeal is briefed and currently pending before that court. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of this action is not predictable with assurance. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of this litigation, or any potential effect such may have on the Company or its business or operations.

In previous periods, the Company reported that a former operating unit of the Company had been named as a defendant in a limited number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. Neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, produced or distributed asbestos fiber, the material that allegedly caused the injury underlying these actions. As of April 2019, all pending asbestos-related litigation against such former operating unit had been dismissed, and there are no longer any such claims outstanding against the unit. Such litigation did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 12—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company granted 21,500 service-based restricted stock units and 21,500 performance-based restricted stock units, both out of treasury stock, at a grant date fair value of $2.60 per share and $0.75 per share, respectively. The service-based restricted stock units will vest ratably over a period of three years; the performance-based restricted stock units will vest, in whole or in part, if the stock price goal is met on or before June 30, 2021. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company granted 32,653 service-based restricted stock awards out of treasury stock to each of its four non-employee directors, which vest in four equal annual installments on January 22 of each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

During the first quarter of 2018, no awards were granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and was included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Backlog

The services we provide are typically carried out under construction contracts, long-term maintenance contracts and master service agreements. Total backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue expected to be recorded in the future for work performed under awarded contracts. Previously, we reported backlog as orders from fixed-price contracts plus the amount of revenue we expected to receive in the next twelve-month period from cost-plus contracts, regardless of the remaining life of the cost-plus contract. However, we believe that reporting the total revenue expected under awarded contracts is more representative of our expected future revenue.

Revenue estimates included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of project accelerations, cancellations or delays due to various factors, including, but not limited to, the customer’s budgetary constraints and adverse weather. These factors can also cause revenue amounts to be realized in different periods and at levels other than those originally projected. Additional work that is not identified under the original contract is added to our backlog when we reach an agreement with the customer as to the scope and pricing of that additional work. Backlog is reduced as work is performed and revenue is recognized, or upon

cancellation.

Backlog is not a measure defined by GAAP, and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by our customers.

The following table summarizes our backlog:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cost plus	$	450,246	$	487,033
Lump sum		28,460		14,571
Total	$	478,706	$	501,604

Results of Operations

The following summary and discussion of our results of operations is based on our continuing operations and excludes any results of our discontinued operations.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Other (income) expense, net		(325)		(212)
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax		459		(1,953)
Income tax (benefit) expense		64		285
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	395	$	(2,238)

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $7.5 million compared with the corresponding period in 2018 as a result of increases in a number of projects, including a $1.4 million increase from our entry into the nuclear industry in Canada, a $1.3 million increase in midstream oil and gas revenue, and a $0.9 million increase in pre-outage revenue in preparation for the significant outage work that will occur in the second quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $1.5 million in revenue from dry storage and decommissioning activities due to delays encountered by the customer.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $0.2 million compared with the corresponding period in 2018, while gross margin declined to 13.2% from 15.0%. The decrease in gross margin was due to project mix between the year over year periods and the downward pressure on near-term margins from our entry into the nuclear industry in Canada, as well as the midstream oil and gas and nuclear decommissioning markets.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $2.4 million compared with the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to a $2.2 million decrease in operating expenses. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a $1.7 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, a $0.2 million decrease in selling and marketing expenses, a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $0.1 million decrease in restatement expenses due to the wind-down of restatement activities in conjunction with the March 15, 2017 filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which included the restatement of certain prior period financial results.

General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2019		2018
Labor-related expenses	$	2,497	$	3,820
Stock-based compensation expense		305		161
Professional fees		665		1,466
Other expenses		1,295		1,013
Total	$	4,762	$	6,460

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $1.7 million compared with the corresponding period in 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, total labor-related expenses decreased $1.3 million due primarily to an overall decrease in on-going labor and labor-related expenses compared with the corresponding period in 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, professional fees decreased $0.8 million due to a decrease in audit, legal and other professional fees compared with the corresponding period in 2018 as a result of being current with our SEC filings and the completion of our restructuring plan. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.3 million increase in other expenses.

Other (Income) Expense, Net


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2019		2018
Interest expense, net	$	1,474	$	1,378
Other income, net		(325)		(212)
Total	$	1,149	$	1,166

Total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was consistent with the corresponding period in 2018. Interest expense, net increased $0.1 million and was offset by a $0.1 million increase in other income, net arising from foreign currency exchange transaction gains in our Canada operations. The increase in interest expense was the net result of higher debt balances at lower interest rates as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense for the interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate during the entire fiscal year. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income during the calendar year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for settlements of tax audits or assessments and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.1 million, or 13.9% of pretax income from continuing operations, compared with income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or (14.6)% of pretax loss from continuing operations, in the corresponding period of 2018. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was primarily related to the partial valuation allowance recorded on our U.S. deferred tax assets. The decrease in income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the corresponding period in 2018 was primarily related to the $0.2 million increase in indefinite-lived deferred tax assets related to the interest expense addback under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code and the post-2017 U.S. net operating loss that can be used to offset indefinitely-lived intangible deferred tax liabilities.

Discontinued Operations

See “Note 5—Changes in Business” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for information regarding discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we continued to have significant liquidity constraints. Our principal sources of liquidity are borrowings under the MidCap Facility (as MidCap has dominion over our accounts receivable collection depository bank accounts) and managing our working capital. Our principal uses of cash were to pay for labor and subcontract labor, customer contract-related material, operating expenses, restructuring charges from our 2018 restructuring plan, and interest expense on the Centre Lane Facility and MidCap Facility. See discussion in “Note 2—Liquidity” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Net Cash Flows

Our net consolidated cash flows, including cash flows related to discontinued operations, consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,358	$	2,207
Investing activities		(68)		265
Financing activities		(3,440)		(186)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(1,150)	$	2,286

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2019, our operating unrestricted cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.2 million to $3.3 million from $4.5 million as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, with the exception of less than $0.1 million, the operating cash balance of $3.3 million was held in U.S. bank accounts.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from earnings sources and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of working capital balances related to our projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash provided by operating activities increased slightly to $2.4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, our working capital provided $1.3 million of cash, primarily as a result of an increase in accounts payable, which was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and contract assets. All of these increases resulted from the relatively higher level of activity in March 2019 as compared to March 31, 2018.

Investing Activities

Currently, our investing activities do not have a significant impact on our net cash flows.

Financing Activities

The MidCap Facility grants the lender dominion over our depository bank accounts. As such, our weekly borrowings under the MidCap Facility are our primary source of liquidity. During the first quarter, our repayments under the MidCap Facility from customer cash receipts exceeded our borrowings by $3.2 million, reducing the outstanding balance under the MidCap Facility to less than $0.1 million as of March 31, 2019. At any point in time, the outstanding balance under the MidCap Facility is a function of our customer cash receipts and our cash expenditure needs for the following week. For additional information, please refer to “Note 9—Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effect of exchange rate changes impacted our cash by less than $0.1 million, primarily resulting from fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our cash flows were not impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency.

Table of Contents

Dividends

We have not paid dividends to holders of our common stock since March 2015, and the terms of the New Centre Lane Facility currently restrict our ability to pay dividends. In addition, declaration and payment of future dividends would depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our earnings, financial condition, business development needs, regulatory considerations and the terms of the New Centre Lane Facility, and is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We currently have no plan in place to pay cash dividends.

Liquidity Outlook

As noted in our 2018 Form 10-K, overall, we expect liquidity to improve through 2019 as a result of exiting our former loss-generating businesses and reducing our ongoing operating expenses. However, we may experience periodic short-term constraints on our liquidity as a result of the cash flow requirements of specific projects. A high percentage of our cost of service comes from weekly craft labor payrolls, and the lag between incurrence of those payrolls and the subsequent collection of the resulting customer billings results in negative cash flows for that lag period. Although we utilize the MidCap Facility to address those lag period negative cash flows, contract terms restricting customer invoicing frequency, delays in customer payments, and underlying surety bonds negatively impact our availability under the MidCap Facility. Additionally, we anticipate the remaining 2019 cash expenditures related to our 2018 restructuring plan (including payments related to the Koontz-Wagner bankruptcy) will be approximately $2.5 million.

While we believe that we have sufficient resources to satisfy our 2019 working capital requirements, in the event that we are unable to address potential shortfalls in the future, management will need to seek additional funding, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, and may result in management concluding that our liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Restricted cash balances have remained constant at $0.5 million since the beginning of the year.

For additional information, please refer to “Note 2—Liquidity” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Our liquidity is currently not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet transactions but, in line with industry practice, we are often required to provide performance and surety bonds to customers and may be required to provide letters of credit. If performance assurances are extended to customers, generally our maximum potential exposure is limited in the contract with our customers. We frequently obtain similar performance assurances from third-party vendors and subcontractors for work performed in the ordinary course of contract execution. However, the total costs of a project could exceed our original cost estimates, and we could experience reduced gross profit or possibly a loss for a given project. In some cases, if we fail to meet certain performance standards, we may be subject to contractual liquidated damages.

As of March 31, 2019, we had a contingent liability for issued and outstanding standby letters of credit, generally issued to secure performance on customer contracts. As of March 31, 2019, we had $2.8 million of outstanding standby letters of credit and there were no amounts drawn upon these letters of credit. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, we had outstanding surety bonds of $59.2 million. Our subsidiaries also provide financial guarantees for certain contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02. In connection with the adoption, we implemented certain changes to our accounting policies and processes related to lease accounting. For additional information on changes to financial statements, please refer to “Note 3—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. There were no other material changes to our critical accounting policies as set forth in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2018 Report, during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure s About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019. This is done in order to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019, due to the material weaknesses described in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s 2018 Report.

To address these control weaknesses, the Company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures in order to prepare the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material aspects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Under the applicable SEC rules, management is required to evaluate any changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As discussed in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of the 2018 Report, we have undertaken a broad range of remedial procedures to address material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These remedial procedures continued throughout the three months ended March 31, 2019 and will continue throughout the remainder of 2019.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02. In connection with the adoption, we implemented certain changes to our processes and controls related to lease accounting. While we continue to implement remediation efforts and design enhancements to our internal control procedures, we believe there were no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—OTHER INFORMATIO N

Item 1. Legal Proceeding s.

The information included in “Note 5—Changes in Business” and “Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item.

Item 1A. Risk Factor s.

Our business faces significant risks and uncertainties. Certain important factors may have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and you should carefully consider them.
