Reclassifications

The Company reclassified certain revenue stream and cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2022 to conform to the presentation of the current period. The reclassification has not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements and did not result in a change in total revenue, net income or cash flows from operations for the periods presented.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies Except as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2023 filed with the SEC, that have had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bankruptcy Accounting

Bankruptcy AccountingThe Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 3 – Chapter 11

Proceedings for further details regarding the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has segregated liabilities and obligations whose treatment and satisfaction are dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases and have classified these items as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company has classified all income, expenses, gains or losses that were incurred or realized as a result of the proceedings since filing for Chapter 11 as “Reorganization Items” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting The Company determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a reporting segment by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be the Chief Financial Officer. The Company is considered to be a single reporting segment. The business activities of this reporting segment are the development, manufacture and sale of turbine generator sets and their related parts and service.

Going Concern

Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million, and $57.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes. The Company incurred a net loss of $11.6 million and used cash from operating activities of $9.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company reduced its outstanding debt via proceedings in U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Court. On September 28, 2023, the Company filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with its Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws, as further discussed in Note 3 – Chapter 11 Proceedings in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023 and effected a financial and organizational restructuring. However, given its current cash position, lack of liquidity, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options, and current economic and market risks, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended September 30, 2023.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted  Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Topic No. 326 - Credit Loss, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. Under the CECL model, the Company identifies allowances for credit losses based on future expected losses when accounts receivable are created rather than when losses are probable.

The Company applies a historical loss rate based on historic write-offs by aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. Additionally, the allowance for credit loss calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that could likely cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. The factors include assessments of various economic conditions, significant events that occurred, geographic location, size and credit ratings of the customers. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for credit loss. Refer to Note 5- Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the allowance for credit loss recorded.
