BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Deep Down, Inc.”, “Deep Down”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” are used in this Report to refer to Deep Down, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Deep Down Nevada”), and its directly wholly owned subsidiary, Deep Down, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deep Down Delaware”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in future periods, then the actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 

Liquidity

The Company’s cash on hand was $4,073 and working capital was $6,094 as of June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, cash on hand and working capital was $3,745 and $4,080, respectively. Other than a remaining loan obtained under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company does not have a credit facility in place and depends on cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and the potential opportunistic sales of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”). See Note 11 for further discussion of the PPP loans.

The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and potential opportunistic sales of PP&E in addition to pursuing a disciplined approach to making capital investments. However, given the abrupt decline in oil prices and global economic activity caused by COVID-19 in 2020, the Company cannot predict this with certainty. To mitigate this uncertainty and preserve liquidity, the Company will continue to pursue opportunistic cost containment initiatives, which can include workforce alignment, limiting overhead spending and research and development efforts to only critical items, and actively pursuing further cost reduction opportunities as they become available.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Segments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had one operating and reporting segment, Deep Down Delaware.
