  • Included in the net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were the following:

- $6.6 million ($4.4 million after-tax, or $0.30 per share) for a non-cash asset impairment charge related to assets held for sale associated with a partially constructed topside, related valves, piping and equipment that we acquired from a customer following its default under a contract for a deepwater project in 2012. This adjustment is due to the sustained downturn in the Oil and Gas sector significantly limiting our ability to effectively market the assets.

- $14.3 million ($9.5 million after-tax, or $0.65 per share) related to our inability to recover certain costs related to a large deepwater project which was recently delivered.

  • Our balance sheet position remains stable with $45.3 million in cash, no debt, and working capital of $94.1 million. In addition, we have $59.5 million available under our credit facility. We will continue to monitor and maintain a conservative capital structure as we navigate through the current oil and gas downturn.
