As Lessor

The Company leases equipment to customers primarily for terms of six months or less.  All of the Company’s leasing arrangements as lessor are classified as operating leases.  The majority of the Company’s rental revenue is generated from its marine-based wireless seismic data acquisition system.

The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease receivables on a lease by lease basis.  The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and other factors such as the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer and current economic conditions.  The Company suspends revenue recognition when the collectability of amounts due are no longer probable and concurrently records a direct write-off of the lease receivable to rental revenue and limits future rental revenue recognition to cash received.  As of March 31, 2021, the Company had lease receivables from customers, net of reserves, of approximately $1.8 million.

Rental revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 was $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively.   Rental revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 was $16.4 million and $25.0 million, respectively.  

At March 31, 2021, future minimum lease obligations due from the Company’s leasing customers (all in fiscal year 2021) were $7.1 million.  

Rental equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with a customer to lease land-based wireless seismic rental equipment from its rental fleet.  The transaction is expected to be in the form of a sales-type lease with ownership of the equipment transferring to the customer upon completion of the lease, which has a term of six months.  The carrying amount of the equipment to be leased is $1.3 million and has been reclassified from rental equipment to assets held for sale on its consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.  Total lease payments due from the customer under the lease exceed the equipment’s carrying value.  The Company anticipates the transaction will be consummated during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.
