1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Liquidity and Covenant Compliance

Description of Business

Aquilex Holdings LLC and subsidiaries (Company) is a leading global provider of a broad array of recurring critical industrial services to the oil and gas refining, chemical and petrochemical production, fossil and nuclear power generation and waste-to-energy industries. The Company provides these services through the combination of proprietary automation technology, a specialized equipment fleet and a specially trained labor force. The Company’s services are essential in maintaining and enhancing the efficiency, operability and profitability of customer plants by minimizing downtime and extending service life at a lower cost than replacement alternatives.

The Company reports operating results in two reportable segments: Specialty Repair and Overhaul (SRO) and Industrial Cleaning (IC).

SPECIALTY REPAIR AND OVERHAUL (SRO)

SRO provides specialized welding overlay and repair services for industrial applications of erosion and corrosion protection services, repair technology services, and shop services.

INDUSTRIAL CLEANING (IC)

IC provides industrial cleaning services to a wide range of processing industries, including petrochemical, oil refining, electric utilities and pulp and paper.

The balance of the Company’s continuing operations do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment and are accordingly reported in All Other.

ORGANIZATION

The Company is a Limited Liability Company, which is 100% owned by Aquilex Acquisition Sub III, LLC. As a 100% owned LLC, the Company is disregarded as an entity from its owner for federal and most state income tax purposes.

Aquilex Acquisition Sub III, LLC has elected to be taxed as a C-corporation for income tax purposes. As such, income taxes have been provided for the Company in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1B’s “carve out” accounting. In addition, income taxes have been provided for certain corporate subsidiaries of the company under the separate return method for allocating consolidated income tax expense.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2011 and our operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which were filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

Liquidity and Covenant Compliance

In light of the uncertainties relating to the Company’s liquidity and financial covenant compliance as described in more detail in note 7 below under the heading “Liquidity and Covenant Compliance”, the Company is considering all alternatives available to address its cash needs. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to address its cash needs, and if the Company is unable to do so it would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition and would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 100% owned subsidiaries, and a joint venture consolidated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-Consolidation (ASC 810)(see Note 5). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. On an ongoing basis, estimates are reviewed based on information that is currently available.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1–inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

Level 2–inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3–inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there have been no transfers between hierarchy levels.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had carrying values of $93,518 for accounts receivable, net, and $22,867 for accounts payable. For these respective items, the carrying value approximated fair value at June 30, 2011. The carrying value for long-term debt was $391,122 and the fair value approximated $385,438 at June 30, 2011. The fair value of debt was calculated using quoted market prices at June 30, 2011.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the proportionate share of equity attributable to the minority shareholder of the Aquilex Arabia joint venture. Noncontrolling interest is adjusted each period to reflect the allocation of comprehensive income to or the absorption of comprehensive losses by the noncontrolling interest. The Company began consolidation of this joint venture upon its receiving approval and certification by the Saudi government in February 2011. Accordingly, no prior year comparative period is presented.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluates the circumstances of each contract to determine the appropriate application of revenue recognition methods.

SRO Segment

The SRO construction services contracts that are short term in nature are primarily accounted for by the completed contract method and these contracts set forth the scope of services and provide a detailed work plan and timetable. Additionally, these contracts generally include automatic pricing adjustments to account for changes in the price of weld wire, the primary input material the Company uses in carrying out projects. In such cases, revenue is recognized at the completion of the job, when accepted by the customer, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Certain other SRO contracts are accounted for by the percentage of completion method. This method is used where there are reliable estimates of revenue and cost, the contract specifies terms and conditions, and both the purchaser and the Company have the ability and expectation to perform all the contractual duties. In this regard, the SRO segment uses two methods for determining the percent complete.

The output method involves the use of contract milestones which are specifically outlined in the contracts and reflect a reasonable estimate of progress on the project. Once the specific milestone is met, a percentage of revenue is recognized based on the cost incurred of the milestone and the estimated margin of the project. These milestones have clearly defined, recognized, and separable value and cost that reasonably reflect the progress of a long-cycle contract across multiple accounting periods. In some contracts, both specific billing and completion milestones are present. Sometimes, these are the same. However, the Company does have contracts where the billing milestone is set to have cash in advance of the revenue. In such circumstance, billing in excess of cost is recognized as a liability. In the event the project does not have definitive milestones, the input method of cost-to-total estimated costs is used to measure results directly and to measure progress toward completion. In these arrangements, a percentage of revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs after giving effect to estimates of costs to complete based on most recent information. We recognize revisions in profit estimates to income in the period in which the revision is determined. Estimated contract losses are recognized in full when determined.

The input method is used to determine the percent complete on time and materials contracts. Under the time and materials contracts, revenue is recognized based upon hours and cost to date at the estimated margin of the job. Due to the nature of these jobs, actual invoicing is completed after the revenue event occurs and therefore a cost in excess of billing is recorded at month end.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the SRO segment did not have any contracts for which a loss was anticipated.

These methods for determining the percent complete are applied consistently among all of the SRO segment contracts having similar characteristics.

IC Segment

The industrial cleaning segment derives its revenues from services under time and materials and fixed-price contracts. Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as services are performed and efforts are expended. Alternatively, revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized over the contractual period in a ratable manner due to the consistent performance of services from period to period. Any losses on these contracts are recognized in the period during which they are estimable. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the IC segment did not have any contracts for which a loss was anticipated.

Income Taxes

The Company is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and as such, members of an LLC are not personally liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company. However, the Company’s operations consist of both an LLC, which is not taxed as a separate entity, and certain corporate subsidiaries, which are subject to taxation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this 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 carry forwards. 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain. The estimation of required valuation allowances includes an estimate of future taxable income, reversals of deferred tax liabilities, carry back periods, and tax planning strategies.

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recorded reserves and interest for the uncertain outcome of certain tax positions and elected to include any future penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company has determined that it has no material increases or decreases in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to existing standards for revenue arrangements with multiple components. The amendments generally require the allocation of consideration to separate components based on the relative selling price of each component in a revenue arrangement. The amendments are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments which allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Management considers the trade names to have indefinite useful lives and, accordingly, are not subject to amortization. The Company reached this conclusion principally due to the longevity of the Aquilex name and the associated subsidiary names, and because the Company considered renewal upon the legal limit of the trade name as perfunctory. The Company expects to maintain usage of the Aquilex and the associated subsidiary trade names on existing products and introduce new products in the future that will also display the trade name. Consequently, trade names qualify as an indefinite-lived asset in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.

Intangible assets are amortized over the period the economic use is consumed. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $3,262 and $6,525, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,330 and $8,663, respectively.

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization in the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, the impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization must be based on estimated fair values. The valuation of intangible assets requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates. The Company has experienced declines in its consolidated operating results during the first two quarters of 2011 as compared to the prior year comparative periods. If we continue to experience adverse changes in operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values, this could result in a non-cash impairment charge in future periods under ASC 350.

 

5. Aquilex Arabia Joint Venture

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a Saudi Arabian company to form a limited liability company for the purpose of marketing and providing the Company’s services for refining, petrochemical and power generation applications in the Middle East. The joint venture, Aquilex Arabia Co. Ltd. (the “joint venture”), received approval and certification by the Saudi government in February 2011. The Company is the majority shareholder with 60% ownership in the joint venture. For operating purposes, the Company and the joint venture partner are obligated to provide ongoing funding on a percentage ownership basis.

The Company determined that the joint venture is a variable interest entity under ASC 810, Consolidation, and that the Company is the joint venture’s primary beneficiary. The determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary was based on ownership percentage, voting control and absorption of the profits and losses associated with the joint venture. Therefore, the financial position and results of operations of the joint venture are consolidated. Earnings and losses of the joint venture are allocable on a ratable basis based on each party’s ownership interest. The portion of the joint venture’s earnings and losses owned by the joint venture partner is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net loss attributable to the Company and the joint venture partner totaled $1,068 and $712, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the negative equity attributable to the Company and the joint venture partner was $988 and $659, respectively.

The term loan matures on April 1, 2016, and amortizes in equal quarterly installments of annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount during the first five and three-quarter years of the term loan, with the balance of the principal amount of the term loan due at maturity. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the interest rate was 6.0% and 5.5%, respectively.      162,688        163,613

Covenants

On February 28, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (Amendment) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), dated as of April 1, 2010 and modified on June 17, 2010, with the Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and L/C (Letter of Credit) Issuer, and the required lenders thereunder.

The Amendment, among other things:

 

   

increased the Applicable Rate by 50 basis points,

 

   

increased the size of the basket for investments in Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to the greater of $20,000,000 and 10% of Total Tangible Assets,

 

   

increased the size of the baskets for Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries to guarantee and incur indebtedness in the aggregate to 10% of Total Tangible Assets and

 

   

granted additional head room for the Company’s financial maintenance covenants (total leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Dollars in thousands

 

The Company paid a one-time amendment fee of 25 basis points, or $1,063, to participating lenders, based on outstanding commitments and loans, and paid arranging fees for the amendment to Royal Bank of Canada and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. In addition, the guarantors under the Credit Agreement executed consents to the Amendment. Except as amended by the Amendment, the remaining terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial maintenance covenants requiring us to maintain certain minimum or maximum financial ratios, as follows: (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio ranging from 1.55:1 to 1.95:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement; (ii) a maximum leverage ratio ranging from 6.75:1 to 4.85:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement; and (iii) a maximum secured leverage ratio ranging from 3.00:1 to 2.50:1 over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries (other than any unrestricted subsidiaries) are restricted from taking certain actions, including: (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) creating liens on assets; (iii) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) paying dividends or distributions on, or repurchasing stock or other equity interests; (v) repaying, redeeming or repurchasing certain indebtedness; (vi) changing the nature of the Company’s business; (vii) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (viii) undergoing fundamental changes (including mergers); and (ix) making dispositions of assets. The Company is also prohibited from making capital expenditures in excess of the greater of $25,000 and 25% of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year, provided that any unused amounts in one fiscal year may be carried over to the next year. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company.

Subject to various exceptions and baskets contained in the Senior Notes indenture, the 11 1/8% Senior Notes terms include covenants that restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from taking certain actions, including (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) creating liens on assets; (iii) paying dividends or distributions on, or repurchasing stock or other equity interests; (iv) repaying, redeeming or repurchasing certain indebtedness; (v) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (vi) changing the nature of the Company’s business; (vii) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (viii) undergoing fundamental changes (including mergers); and (ix) making dispositions of the Company’s assets. The Senior Notes indenture also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company.

Liquidity and Covenant Compliance

At June 30, 2011, the Company had cash of $2.8 million, working capital of $57.4 million and outstanding debt obligations, net of OID, of $391.1 million. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $13.2 million of outstanding letter of credit obligations.

At June 30, 2011, the available revolving capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $24.8 million. On August 4, 2011, the Company drew down the remaining amounts on its revolving credit facility and no longer has any availability under that facility.

Based on the Company’s most recent estimates, it believes that the proceeds from its most recent draw on its revolving credit facility, its existing cash balances and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs through the end of 2011. However, in order to meet the Company’s cash needs for the next twelve months and over the longer term, it must generate sufficient cash from operations to fund its debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements, which will depend in large part on the level of demand for its services from the Company’s customers and operating margins. In recent periods, demand for the Company’s services has been significantly lower than it had expected, in part because the extent and timing of the release of maintenance and repair projects by the Company’s customers has not met its expectations, and its operating margins have been lower as the increase in the Company’s costs have exceeded the increase in its revenues. In addition, the timing of receivables payments has affected the Company’s liquidity, including due to significant payments from PDVSA in Venezuela being delayed. Should these trends continue, or should its business otherwise fail to generate sufficient cash, the Company may be unable to meet its operating and debt service requirements and fund ongoing operations over the next twelve months. The Company does not have any additional sources of committed financing available to meet its cash requirements and it is uncertain as to whether the Company would be able to obtain any additional financing should the Company require it.

The Company’s Credit Agreement requires it to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense and maximum ratios of total debt and senior secured debt to Adjusted EBITDA. While the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2011, based on current business conditions and forecast, there

can be no assurance that the Company will be in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2011 or thereafter. The Company expects to approach the lenders under its Credit Agreement to seek a waiver of compliance with its financial covenants for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, and it may be required to seek additional waivers or a forbearance or amendment. There can be no certainty that any such waiver, amendment or forbearance will be forthcoming. The Company’s principal shareholder is also entitled to exercise an equity cure right under the Credit Agreement to address certain financial covenant breaches, although it is uncertain if the Company’s principal shareholder would exercise an equity cure right. If the Company does not meet its financial covenants and is unable to obtain a waiver, amendment or forbearance, and if no equity cure right is available and exercised, there would be an event of default under its Credit Agreement which would allow its lenders to accelerate the amounts it owes under the Credit Agreement or avail themselves of other remedies under the Credit Agreement, including foreclosure on the collateral securing its debt. An acceleration of its Credit Facility debt also would cause an event of default under, and permit acceleration of, the Company’s senior notes. Any failure to meet debt service or any breach of its debt covenants would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Given the uncertainties described above, the Company is considering all alternatives available to address the Company’s cash needs. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to address its cash needs, and if the Company is unable to do so it would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition and would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

8. Deferred Financing Costs and Original Issue Discount

In February 2011, the Company paid $1,063 of deferred financing costs as a result of the amendment and arranging fees upon entering into its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $13,071 and $13,413 of net outstanding deferred financing costs, respectively.

Original Issue Discount (OID) is amortized to the carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet and charged to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. OID is the discount from par value at the time that a bond or other debt instrument is issued. The discount represents the difference between the stated redemption price at maturity and the issue price of the debt instrument. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $8,566 and $9,376 of unamortized OID costs, respectively.

The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs and OID to interest expense of $1,067 and $2,215 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company recorded amortization of deferred financing costs and OID to interest expense of $1,031 and $3,473 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

The Company has a $500,000 per occurrence deductible insurance program for most losses related to general liability, product liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and certain legal claims. For the Company’s environmental liability, it has a $250,000 per occurrence deductible. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical loss development experience. The Company has a $300,000 per covered person deductible insurance policy for medical and dental coverage. The Company has not incurred significant claims or losses on any of these insurance policies. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $4,879 and $4,643, respectively, were included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets for self-insurance claims.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business. Substantially all of these suits are being defended by the Company, their insurance carriers or other parties pursuant to indemnification obligations. The Company believes a majority of the claims covered by insurance will be resolved at or for less than the applicable deductibles and that any liability in excess of a deductible will not exceed the limits of the applicable insurance policies. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes adequate provision has been made for substantially all of the outstanding claims and the final outcome of any pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. v. WSI, et al. The Company is named as a defendant in this suit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, in which the plaintiff alleges that a boiler explosion it experienced in 2004 was the result of a water leak caused by allegedly negligent fabrication work performed by defendant Foster Wheeler Pyropower, Inc., or allegedly negligent repair work subsequently performed by WSI in 1998, 1999 or 2002. The plaintiff alternatively alleges that WSI negligently failed to alert it to the hazardous condition of the boiler. The plaintiff claims damages of approximately $28,000. WSI’s insurer has been notified about this litigation and is funding the defense costs. Discovery in this matter commenced in April 2008 and is ongoing. The Company obtained evidence that the leak in question may have been caused by a third party, and joined such third party as well as other potentially responsible parties as defendants in this litigation. The Company has also filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff alleging breach of contract. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter and does not believe a loss is either probable or reasonably estimable.

Performance Bonds

During the ordinary course of business, the Company is periodically required to enter into performance bond arrangements to collateralize its obligations under various contracts. The Company has a total of $4,791 and $5,532 in performance bond obligations as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Income tax provisions for the interim period are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant, infrequent, or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate was 90.3% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the corresponding prior year periods, the Company’s effective tax rate was 59.6% and 36.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax book loss, deduction limitations for per diems for field employees, change in valuation allowance, non-deductible stock based compensation, and other nondeductible expenses.

 

11. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan into which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 0% to 75% of their pre-tax compensation subject to an annual maximum dollar amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service. At its discretion, the Company may make discretionary matching cash contributions. Employer 401(k) matching contributions to the plan were $647 and $1,102 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the corresponding prior year periods, the matching contributions were $255 and $255 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

13. Reportable Segments

The Company provides services through two segments: Specialty Repair and Overhaul (SRO) and Industrial Cleaning (IC). The SRO segment provides specialized welding, overlay, repair, and overhaul services for industrial applications of:

 

   

Erosion and Corrosion Protection Services which re-establish and preserve the mechanical and structural integrity of high-energy equipment;

 

   

Repair Technologies Services which provide innovative solutions to “first-of-a-kind” and recurring mechanical, maintenance and configuration challenges; and

 

   

Shop Services for replacement part fabrication and repair services.

The IC segment provides industrial cleaning services to a wide range of processing industries, including petrochemical, oil refining, electric utilities and pulp and paper. The customers are primarily located in industrial sectors in the United States (U.S.). The largest sources of revenue are:

 

   

high-pressure and ultra-high pressure water cleaning (hydroblasting);

 

   

industrial vacuuming;

 

   

chemical cleaning; and

 

   

tank cleaning.

The majority of these services involve recurring maintenance intended to improve or sustain the operating efficiencies and extend the useful lives of process equipment and facilities.

The Company evaluates the performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA results. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of segment profitability.

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company’s performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry and because a determination of Adjusted EBITDA is necessary to calculate the Company’s covenant compliance under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specific items permitted in calculating covenant compliance in the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with (i) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and related information and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

We are a leading global provider of critical maintenance, repair, overhaul and industrial cleaning solutions. Through our divisional and branch offices in the United States and Europe, we provide our services to a diverse global base of over 600 customers, primarily in the oil and gas refining, chemical and petrochemical production, fossil and nuclear power generation and waste-to-energy industries. Our customer relationships have extended over many years. We combine our proprietary technology, specialized equipment fleet, skilled workforce and project management expertise to provide a broad range of complementary industrial services. These services are often mandatory and recurring in nature and are essential for optimizing the operating efficiency, utilization, profitability and safety of our customers’ facilities.

We operate our business in two segments:

Specialty Repair and Overhaul (50.3% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011). Our SRO services include welding repair, erosion and corrosion protection and specialized construction services, including component repair. SRO services focus on repairing and improving the service life of new or existing equipment using our proprietary technology. We develop and utilize customized, automated equipment for our SRO services which enables us to improve the efficiency of our pipefitters and boilermakers and allows us to complete repairs in areas characterized by excessive heat, high radiation, complex piping and other structural barriers. We provide services to facilities on a routine, periodic and turnaround basis, as well as emergency work. Turnaround or outage services are required regularly and are critical to the continued operation of facilities. These services are often necessary to comply with government mandates, particularly in the nuclear industry. Approximately 69.6% of the 2010 revenues of our SRO segment was generated from customers located in North America. For the first six months of 2011, 74.2% of SRO revenue was generated from customers located in North America.

Industrial Cleaning (49.6% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011). Industrial cleaning is critical to maintaining plant efficiency and safety. These services typically cannot be deferred by customers for long periods of time and constitute an essential component of our customers’ regularly scheduled in-plant maintenance programs. Our Industrial Cleaning services include recurring maintenance activities, such as hydroblasting, industrial vacuuming, chemical cleaning and tank cleaning, and are focused on the chemical and petrochemical production, oil and gas refining and fossil power generation industries. Industrial Cleaning generates significant recurring revenue from routine daily maintenance, and since we perform cleaning services at many sites on a daily basis, proximity to our customers is essential. As a result, we maintain a broad geographic network of 82 service locations, 60 of which are co-located on customers’ premises. While our cleaning services typically include the removal of waste from the equipment being cleaned, our customers retain ownership of the resulting waste at all times.

Revenues

Revenues increased $11.5 million, or 10.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues in our SRO segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenues increased $13.3 million, or 6.2%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher revenues in both our SRO and IC segments.

SRO. Revenues in our SRO segment increased $9.8 million, or 20.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of increases in our Fossil Power and Refinery customers of $11.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The primary offsets to these increases were declines of $1.9 million and $1.3 million from our Pulp and Paper and Petrochemical customers, respectively. Additional declines totaling $0.4 million resulted from less significant fluctuations from our other customers. Overall, in the three months ended June 30, 2011, the SRO segment has experienced less deferrals in our Fossil Power customers and an increase in revenue from our Refinery customers as they have performed maintenance to ensure that they can continue to run at high capacity and efficiency levels.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SRO revenues increased $8.6 million, or 8.2%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of increases in our Refinery, Fossil Power, and Petrochemical customers of $11.4 million, $9.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The primary offsets to these increases were declines of $11.8 million and $3.1 million from our Nuclear and Pulp and Paper customers, respectively. Overall, in the six months ended June 30, 2011, the SRO segment has experienced less deferrals in our Fossil Power customers and an increase in revenue from our Refinery customers as they have customers have performed maintenance to ensure that they can continue to run at high capacity and efficiency levels. The Nuclear decline is primarily the result of the 2010 completion of an Alloy 600 Phase 2 project at a Nuclear plant site. This work did not reoccur in 2011. Additional declines totaling $1.2 million resulted from less significant fluctuations from our other customers

Industrial Cleaning. Revenues in our IC segment increased $1.5 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of increases from cleaning services to our Refinery and Metals customers of $1.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The primary offsets to these increases were declines of $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from our Petrochemical and Fossil Power customers. The remainder of the increase, totaling $0.7 million, resulted from less significant fluctuations from our other customers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, IC revenues increased $4.5 million, or 4.2%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of increases from cleaning services to our Petrochemical, Metals, and Refinery customers of $3.3 million, $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The primary offsets to these increases were declines of $1.6 million and $1.0 million from our Fossil Power and Pulp and Paper customers, respectively. The remainder of the increase, totaling $0.5 million, resulted from less significant fluctuations from our other customers.

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $11.0 million, or 15.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $16.0 million, or 10.7%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased 2.7 and 3.0 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

SRO. Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, for our SRO segment increased $5.3 million, or 14.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by a volume increase of approximately $7.2 million resulting from the 20.6% increase in SRO revenue. Offsetting the increase was the absence in 2011 of incremental execution costs of $1.6 million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 for the successful completion of an Alloy 600 Phase 2 project at a nuclear plant site. The remaining $0.3 million of the decrease primarily resulted from the project mix and certain reductions related to controlling indirect costs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, for our SRO segment increased $5.4 million, or 6.7%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by a volume increase of approximately $6.2 million resulting from the 8.2% increase in SRO revenue. Additionally, the increase was driven by approximately $1.9 million of additional costs resulting from (a) the project mix which was driven by a greater proportion of lower margin services provided to customers, (b) higher job costs for international projects, and (c) lower pricing on several jobs due to competitive pricing pressures. Offsetting the increases was the absence in 2011 of incremental execution costs of $2.7 million incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 for the successful completion of an Alloy 600 Phase 2 project at a nuclear plant site.

Industrial Cleaning. Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, for our Industrial Cleaning segment increased $5.6 million, or 15.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven by a volume increase of approximately $0.7 million, resulting from the 2.6% increase in Industrial Cleaning revenue, and by increases in labor and benefits, equipment and rental costs, and supplies and fuel costs of $1.5 million, $2.1 million, and $1.3 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, for our Industrial Cleaning segment increased $10.4 million, or 15.1%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven by a volume increase of approximately $2.3 million, resulting from the 4.2% increase in Industrial Cleaning revenue, and by increases in labor and benefits, equipment and rental costs, and supplies and fuel costs of $3.2 million, $3.1 million, and $1.8 million, respectively.

Cost of revenue - Depreciation

Depreciation costs increased $0.5 million and $0.9 million, or 12.8% and 9.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation on 2010 capital expenditures.

SRO. Depreciation costs in our SRO segment increased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, or 32.9% and 34.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation resulting from $3.9 million of 2010 capital expenditures, which consisted principally of machinery and equipment.

Industrial Cleaning. Depreciation costs in our Industrial Cleaning segment increased $0.2 million and $0.1 million, or 5.1% and 0.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation resulting from $8.7 of 2010 capital expenditures, which consisted principally of machinery and equipment. The increase was partially offset by decreases due to asset dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased $0.1 million, or 0.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit decreased $3.6 million, or 6.6%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Our gross profit margin decreased to 23.8% and 22.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 26.5% and 25.8% for the corresponding prior year periods.

SRO. Gross profit in our SRO segment increased $4.2 million, or 46.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of a 20.6% increase in revenues partially offset by increased costs resulting from job project mix, higher job costs expense for international work, competitive pricing and a 32.9% increase in depreciation expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit in our SRO segment increased $2.4 million, or 10.6%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of a 8.2% increase in revenues partially offset by

increased costs resulting from job project mix, higher job costs for international work, competitive pricing and a 34.2% increase in depreciation expense.

Industrial Cleaning. Gross profit in our IC segment decreased $4.2 million, or 22.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of the 15.5% increase in cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, as a result of higher labor and benefits, equipment, and fuel costs, partially offset by a 2.6% increase in revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross profit decreased $6.0 million, or 18.3%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of the 15.1% increase in cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation, as a result of higher labor and benefits, equipment, and fuel costs, partially offset by a 4.2% increase in revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expense increased $3.2 million, or 16.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June, 30, 2011, SG&A expense increased $5.8 million, or 16.0%, when compared to the corresponding prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expense increased to 19.2% and 18.6% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, from 18.2% and 17.0% of revenues for the corresponding prior year periods.

SRO. SG&A expense in our SRO segment increased $1.1 million, or 14.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase resulted from increases in labor and benefits of $0.5 million, professional fees of $0.3 million and numerous less significant amounts totaling $0.3 million. SG&A expense in our SRO segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 represented 14.3% of SRO revenues during this period, compared to 15.0% in the corresponding prior year period. This decrease primarily resulted from the 20.6% increase in SRO revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SG&A expense in our SRO segment increased $1.0 million, or 7.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase resulted from increases in labor and benefits of $0.8 million and numerous less significant amounts totaling $0.2 million. SG&A expense in our SRO segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 represented 13.2% of SRO revenues during this period, compared to 13.3% in the corresponding prior year period.

Industrial Cleaning. SG&A expense in our IC segment increased $1.8 million, or 15.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase primarily resulted from increases in labor and benefits costs of $0.4 million, taxes and insurance costs of $0.3 million, professional fees of $0.3 million, and health insurance costs of $0.2 million. The remainder of the increase resulted from numerous less significant amounts totaling $0.6 million. SG&A expense in our IC segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 represented 23.4% of IC revenues during this period, compared to 20.9% in the corresponding prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SG&A expense in our IC segment increased $3.2 million, or 14.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase primarily resulted from increases in labor and benefits costs of $0.6 million, professional fees of $0.5 million, and health insurance costs of $0.3 million. The remainder of the increase resulted from numerous less significant amounts totaling $1.0 million. In addition, SG&A in the comparable period for 2010 was lower as the result of the offsetting effect of the receipt of $0.7 million in proceeds from business interruption insurance for Hurricane Ike and a gain on sale of assets of approximately $0.1 million. SG&A expense in our IC segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 represented 22.6% of IC revenues during this period, compared to 20.7% in the corresponding prior year period.

Corporate and other. The Company’s policy is to allocate out all Corporate SG&A to the SRO and Industrial Cleaning segments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we began consolidating the Aquilex Arabia joint venture as a result of

receiving the approval and certification of this joint venture by the Saudi government in February 2011. This consolidation contributed $0.4 and $1.7 million to the overall increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to corresponding prior year period.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased $1.2 million and $2.3 million, or 23.4% and 23.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease was primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated and as a result of the lower amortizable base of SRO amortizable assets resulting from the impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010.

SRO. Depreciation and amortization costs in our SRO segment decreased $1.1 million and $2.2 million, or 30.2% and 30.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Approximately $1.0 and $2.1 million of the decrease primarily resulted from the reduced amortization in the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, respectively, resulting from the $53.2 million impairment of SRO amortizable assets in the fourth quarter of 2010. The impairment reduced the amortizable base over the remaining life and as a result the quarterly amortization charge decreased. The remaining decrease was primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by depreciation of new assets acquired in 2010 and the first two quarters of 2011.

Industrial Cleaning. Depreciation and amortization costs in our Industrial Cleaning segment decreased $0.1 million and $0.2 million, or 6.8% and 7.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease was primarily due to asset dispositions and assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by depreciation of new assets acquired in 2010 and the first two quarters of 2011.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense remained approximately the same for the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 12.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decreases were primarily attributable to a lower effective interest rate on the current capital structure of term debt and senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that primarily resulted from refinancing activities that we undertook in April 2010. Our average debt, net of original issue discount, was $379.4 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Our average debt, net of original issue discount, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $396.4 million and $385.3 million, respectively.

Other, net

Other, net fluctuated based primarily on gains and losses from foreign currency transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Income taxes

Income tax provisions for the interim period are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The income tax benefit decreased $10.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the corresponding prior year period. Our effective tax rate was 90.3% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the corresponding prior year periods, our effective tax rate was 59.6% and 36.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax book loss, deduction limitations for per diems for field employees, change in valuation allowance, non-deductible stock based compensation, and other nondeductible expenses.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for interest and penalties on previously unrecognized tax benefits and accordingly increased the reserve for uncertain tax positions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for interest and penalties on previously unrecognized tax benefits and accordingly increased the reserve for uncertain tax positions.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating performance, is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax payments and debt service requirements. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and other specific items permitted in calculating covenant compliance in our Amended Credit Agreement.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry and because a determination of Adjusted EBITDA is necessary to calculate our covenant compliance under our Amended Credit Agreement. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

   

they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on our debts;

 

   

they do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

 

   

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

   

other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures that may recur in future periods.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to equity holders of the Company to net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2011, we had cash of $2.8 million, working capital of $57.4 million and outstanding debt obligations, net of OID, of $391.1 million. At June 30, 2011, we had $13.2 million of outstanding letter of credit obligations.

At June 30, 2011, the available revolving capacity under our revolving credit facility was $24.8 million. On August 4, 2011, we drew down the remaining amounts on our revolving credit facility and no longer have any availability under that facility.

Based on our most recent estimates, we believe that the proceeds from our most recent draw on our revolving credit facility, our existing cash balances and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs through the end of 2011. However, in order to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months and over the longer term, we must generate sufficient cash from our operations to fund our debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements, which will depend in large part on the level of demand for our services from our customers and our operating

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

 

margins. In recent periods, demand for our services has been significantly lower than we had expected, in part because the extent and timing of the release of maintenance and repair projects by our customers has not met our expectations, and our operating margins have been lower as the increase in our costs have exceed the increase in our revenues. In addition, the timing of receivables payments has affected our liquidity, including due to significant payments from PDVSA in Venezuela being delayed. Should these trends continue, or should our business otherwise fail to generate sufficient cash, we may be unable to meet our operating and debt service requirements and fund ongoing operations over the next twelve months. We do not have any additional sources of committed financing available to meet our cash requirements and it is uncertain as to whether we would be able to obtain any additional financing should we require it.

Our Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense and maximum ratios of total debt and senior secured debt to Adjusted EBITDA. While we were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2011, based on current business conditions and our forecast, there can be no assurance that the we will be in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2011 or thereafter. We expect to approach the lenders under our Credit Agreement to seek a waiver of compliance with our financial covenants for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, and we may be required to seek additional waivers or a forbearance or amendment. There can be no certainty that any such waiver, amendment or forbearance will be forthcoming. Our shareholder is also entitled to exercise an equity cure right under the Credit Agreement to address certain financial covenant breaches, although it is uncertain if our principal shareholder would exercise an equity cure right. If we do not meet our financial covenants and are unable to obtain a waiver, amendment or forbearance, and if no equity cure right is available and exercised, there would be an event of default under our Credit Agreement which would allow our lenders to accelerate the amounts we owe under the Credit Agreement or avail themselves of other remedies under the Credit Agreement, including foreclosure on the collateral securing our debt. An acceleration of our Credit Facility debt also would cause an event of default under, and permit acceleration of, our senior notes. Any failure to meet debt service or any breach of our debt covenants would likely have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.

Given the uncertainties described above, we are considering all alternatives available to address our cash needs. There can be no assurance we will be able to address our cash needs, and if we are unable to do so it would have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition and would raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Credit Agreement

Our Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that include a minimum interest coverage ratio; maximum leverage ratio and maximum secured leverage ratio. Our Credit Agreement also contains cross default covenants tied to all other indebtedness of the Company. The minimum interest coverage ratio, the maximum leverage ratio and the maximum secured leverage ratio (each as described below) are computed based on the Company’s financial results for the twelve months preceding the end of each fiscal quarter.

On February 28, 2011, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2010 and modified on June 17, 2010 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and L/C (Letter of Credit) Issuer, and the required lenders thereunder.

The Amendment, among other things:

 

   

increased the Applicable Rate by 50 basis points;

 

   

increased the size of the basket for investments in Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to the greater of $20,000,000 and 10% of Total Tangible Assets;

 

   

increased the size of the baskets for Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries to guarantee and incur indebtedness in the aggregate to 10% of Total Tangible Assets; and

 

   

granted additional head room for our financial maintenance covenants (total leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

 

The amended financial covenants changed favorably for the Company and are as follows:

 

   

A minimum interest coverage ratio, ranging from 1.55:1 to 1.95:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The minimum interest coverage ratio is computed as Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense.

 

   

A maximum total leverage ratio, ranging from 6.75:1 to 4.85:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The maximum total leverage ratio is computed as consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments relating to a permitted acquisition or disposition.

 

   

A maximum secured leverage ratio ranging from 3.00:1 to 2.50:1 over the term of the Credit Agreement. The maximum secured leverage ratio is computed as the consolidated secured indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA giving effect to pro forma adjustments relating to a permitted acquisition or disposition.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement and the Amendment, which were incorporated by reference as exhibits to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

Cash Flows

Six Months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2010

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was ($7.5) million and $0.2 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $7.7 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period. Several fluctuations contributed to the decrease, including a greater net loss after adjusting for non-cash items. The primary changes to the operating assets and liabilities were $4.1 million increase in accounts receivable offset by a decrease to cost in excess of billings of $2.0 million. This change resulted primarily from the timing of cash receipts. The overall decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was further impacted by the increase in cost of revenues and SG&A costs in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $3.2 million offset by $0.8 million of Aquilex Arabia expenses paid for by our joint venture partner, and a $0.5 million decrease in restricted cash usage.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities increased by $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the corresponding prior year period due primarily to the following increases for the respective periods – a) $12.0 million draw from our revolving credit facility in the six months ended June 30, 2011, b) a decrease in principal payments of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding prior year period resulting from the April 2010 refinancing, and c) a reduction in lease payments of $0.1 million. These increases in cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were offset by a) the ($3.3) million in refinancing net proceeds received in April 2010 and b) the payment of ($1.1) million of fees recorded as deferred financing costs related to the February 2011 debt covenant modification.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $9.7 million and $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was primarily related to the purchase of additional machinery and equipment.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Except as noted below, we did not have any material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments as provided in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2011, we had bonding obligations of $4.8 million. We had no material changes in our operating lease arrangements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, have not changed from December 31, 2010.

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization in the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350, the impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization must be based on estimated fair values. The valuation of intangible assets requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples, and discount rates. The Company has experienced declines in its consolidated operating results during the first two quarters of 2011 as compared to the prior year comparative periods. If we continue to experience adverse changes in operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values, this could result in a non-cash impairment charge in future periods under ASC 350.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) ): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to existing standards for revenue arrangements with multiple components. The amendments generally require the allocation of consideration to separate components based on the relative selling price of each component in a revenue arrangement. The amendments are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had any effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments which allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to

the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have any impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. Except for the ASU listed above, those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to our company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our company.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Commitments and Contingencies in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements of this Report for information on legal proceedings, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 2010 Form 10-K, as well as the additional risk factor set forth below. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to access and generate sufficient liquidity to meet our liquidity requirements, including our debt service requirements, it would have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition

On August 4, 2011, we drew down the remaining amounts then committed under our revolving credit facility and we no longer have any availability under that facility. We do not have any other sources of committed financing available in order to meet our cash requirements and it is uncertain as to whether we would be able to obtain any additional financing at all or on acceptable terms should we require it. Given this, we are considering all alternatives available to address our cash needs, including our debt service requirements and the other risks related to our liquidity position. If we are unable to access additional financing, we must meet our liquidity requirements using cash on hand (including the proceeds of the revolver draw), and by generating sufficient cash from our operations to fund our debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements, which will depend in large part on the level of demand for our services from our customers and our operating margins. In recent periods, demand for our services has been significantly lower than we had expected, in part because the extent and timing of the release of maintenance and repair projects by our customers has not met our expectations, and our operating margins have been lower as the increase in our costs have exceeded the increase in our revenues. In addition, the timing of receivables payments has affected our liquidity, including due to significant payments from PDVSA in Venezuela being delayed. Should these trends continue, or should our business otherwise fail to generate sufficient cash; we may be unable to meet our operating and debt service requirements and fund operations, over the next twelve months. There is no assurance we will be able to address our cash needs, and if we are unable to do so it would have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition and would raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we are unable to obtain a waiver, amendment or forbearance, our failure to maintain compliance with the financial

covenants under our Credit Agreement may have material adverse affect on our financial condition.

Our Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense and maximum ratios of total debt and senior secured debt to Adjusted EBITDA. While we were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2011, based on current business conditions and our forecast there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2011 or thereafter. We expect to approach the lenders under our Credit Agreement to seek a waiver of compliance with our financial covenants for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, and we may be required to seek additional waivers or a forbearance or amendment. There can be no certainty that any such waiver, amendment or forbearance will be forthcoming. Our shareholder is also entitled to exercise an equity cure right under the Credit Agreement to address certain financial covenant breaches, although it is uncertain if our principal shareholder would exercise an equity cure right. If we do not meet our financial covenants and are unable to obtain a waiver, amendment or forbearance, and if no equity cure right is available and exercised, there would be an event of default under our Credit Agreement which would allow our lenders to accelerate the amounts we owe under the Credit Agreement or avail themselves of other remedies under the Credit Agreement, including foreclosure on the collateral securing our debt. An acceleration of our Credit Facility debt also would cause an event of default under, and permit acceleration of, our senior notes. As a result, any breach of our debt covenants may have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.
