BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PHI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“PHI” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our financial results, particularly as they relate to our Oil and Gas segment, are influenced by seasonal fluctuations as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For this and other reasons, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Going Concern - The financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. As discussed further in Note 2 below, our operations are currently subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Code.

The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that PHI will continue as a going concern and contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in the Blue Torch term loan described in Note 6, and our ability to successfully develop and, subject to the Bankruptcy Court's approval, implement, a restructuring plan, among other factors. We have significant indebtedness. As a result, our financial condition and the risks and uncertainties surrounding our Chapter 11 proceedings raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Under the absolute priority scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless our creditors agree otherwise, all of our pre-petition liabilities and post-petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before the holders of our existing common stock may receive any distribution or retain any property under a plan of reorganization. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or shareholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation and implementation of a plan or plans of reorganization. We can give no assurance that any recovery or distribution of any amount will be made to any of our creditors or shareholders. Our plan of reorganization could result in any of the holders of our liabilities and/or securities, including our common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests and cancellation of their holdings. Moreover, a plan of reorganization can be confirmed, under the Bankruptcy Code, even if the holders of our common stock vote against the plan of reorganization and even if the plan of reorganization provides that the holders of our common stock receive no distribution on account of their equity interests. The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 2 for additional information.

Recently adopted accounting principles

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842). ASC 842 replaces the existing guidance on leasing transactions in ASC 840 and requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. ASC 842 also changes the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expense associated with leases and provides clarification regarding the identification of certain components of contracts that would represent a lease. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

The Company elected the transition methodology provided by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby it applied the requirements of ASC 842 on a prospective basis as of the adoption date of January 1, 2019, without retrospectively adjusting prior periods. The Company elected to adopt the package of practical expedients provided by ASC 842 that allows prior determinations of whether existing contracts are, or contain, leases and the classification of existing leases to continue without reassessment. The Company elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company intends to recognize those lease payments in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also elected to combined lease and non-lease components in the computations of lease obligations and right-of-use assets. During our evaluation of ASU 2016-02, we concluded that certain of our helicopter service contracts contain a lease component. Our typical helicopter service contracts qualify for a practical expedient, which is available to lessors under certain circumstances, to combine the lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component in accordance with the accounting treatment for the predominant component. We have applied this practical expedient and intend to combine the lease and service components of our revenue contracts and continue to account for the combined component under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company completed the implementation of an information technology system to track and account for its leases and updated its accounting policies to support the accounting for leases under ASC 842. The Company completed its lease inventory and determined its most significant leases involve aircraft and facilities. In the first quarter 2019, the Company's adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet lease liabilities of approximately $152.9 million and right-of-use assets of approximately $152.1 million with no material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and consolidated cash flow statement.
