1. Description of Business
Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. (the "Company", “NGS”, "Natural Gas Services Group", "we" or "our") (a Colorado corporation), is a leading provider of natural gas compression equipment and services to the energy industry. The Company manufactures, fabricates, rents, sells and maintains natural gas compressors and flare systems for oil and natural gas production and plant facilities. NGS is headquartered in Midland, Texas, with fabrication facilities located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Midland, Texas, and service facilities located in major oil and natural gas producing basins in the U.S.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary, NGSG Properties, LLC and the rabbi trust associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation.
These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to make our financial position at June 30, 2021 and the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 not misleading. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 on file with the SEC. In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements are a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606, revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a customer’s contract, excluding any sale incentives and taxes collected on behalf of third parties (i.e. sales and property taxes). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, we (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation(s). Shipping and handling costs incurred are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Nature of Goods and Services
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue:
Rental Revenue. The Company generates revenue from renting compressors and flare systems to our customers. These contracts, which all qualify as operating leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842), may also include a fee for servicing the compressor or flare during the rental contract period. Our rental contracts typically range from six to 24 months, with our larger horsepower compressors having contract terms of up to 60 months. Our revenue is recognized over time, with equal monthly payments over the term of the contract. After the terms of the contract have expired, a customer may renew their contract or continue renting on a monthly basis thereafter. In accordance ASC 842, we have applied the practical expedient ASC 842-10-15-42A, which allows the Company to combine lease and non-lease components.
Sales Revenue. The Company generates revenue by the sale of custom/fabricated compressors, flare systems and parts, as well as, exchange/rebuilding customer owned compressors and sale of used rental equipment.
6
Custom/fabricated compressors and flare systems - The Company designs and fabricates compressors and flares based on the customer’s specifications outlined in their contract. Though the equipment being built is customized by the customer, control under these contracts does not pass to the customer until the compressor or flare package is complete and shipped, or in accordance with a bill and hold arrangement, the customer accepts title and assumes the risk and rewards of ownership. We request some of our customers to make progressive payments as the product is being built; these payments are recorded as a contract liability on the Deferred Income line on the condensed consolidated balance sheet until control has been transferred. These contracts also may include an assurance warranty clause to guarantee the product is free from defects in material and workmanship for a set duration of time; this is a standard industry practice and is not considered a performance obligation.
From time to time we recognize revenue when manufacturing is complete and the equipment is ready for shipment. At the customer’s request, we will bill the customer upon completing all performance obligations, but before shipment. The customer will formally request that we ship the equipment per their direction from our manufacturing facility at a later specified date and that we segregate the equipment from our finished goods, such that they are not available to fill other orders. Per the customer’s agreement change of control is passed to the customer once the equipment is complete and ready for shipment. We have operated using bill and hold agreements with certain customers for many years, with consistent and satisfactory results for both the customer and us. The credit terms on these agreements are consistent with the credit terms on all other sales. All control is maintained by the customer and there are no exceptions to the customer’s commitment to accept and pay for the manufactured equipment. There was no revenue recognized for bill and hold arrangements for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue recognized related to bill and hold arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $ 852,000 .
Parts - Revenue is recognized after the customer obtains control of the parts. Control is passed either by the customer taking physical possession or the parts being shipped. The amount of revenue recognized is not adjusted for expected returns, as our historical part returns have been de minimis.
Exchange or rebuilding customer owned compressors - Based on the contract, the Company will either exchange a new/rebuilt compressor for the customer’s malfunctioning compressor or rebuild the customer’s compressor. Revenue is recognized after control of the replacement compressor has transferred to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e., by physical delivery, delivery and installment, or shipment of the compressor.
Used compressors or flares - From time to time, a customer may request to purchase a used compressor or flare out of our rental fleet. Revenue from the sale of rental equipment is recognized when the control has passed to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e., when the customer has taken physical possession or the equipment has been shipped.
Service and Maintenance Revenue . The Company provides routine or call-out services on customer owned equipment. Revenue is recognized after services in the contract are rendered.
Payment terms for sales revenue and service and maintenance revenue discussed above are generally 30 to 60 days, although terms for specific customers can vary. Also, transaction prices are not subject to variable consideration constraints.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table shows the Company's revenue disaggregated by product or service type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Contract Balances
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had the following receivables and deferred income from contracts with customers:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(in thousands)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable - contracts with customers $ 3,778 $ 3,243
Accounts receivable - ASC 842 9,654 9,802
Total Accounts Receivable $ 13,432 $ 13,045
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 1,203 ) ( 1,161 )
Total Accounts Receivable, net $ 12,229 $ 11,884
Deferred income $ 693 $ 1,103
The Company recognized sales and rental revenues of $ 1.1 million and $ 2,000 , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 that was included in deferred income at the beginning of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized sales and rental revenues of $ 533,000 and $ 73,000 , respectively, that was included in deferred income at the beginning of 2020.
The increases (decreases) of accounts receivable and deferred income were primarily due to normal timing differences between our performance and the customers’ payments.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2021, the Company did no t have revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations.
Contract Costs
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. 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. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we include an expense in the tax provision in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance in ASC 740, which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. We have no liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021.
Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as interest expense and other expense, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted in response to the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits federal income tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid federal income taxes. Please see Note 4, Federal Income Tax Receivable for a discussion about the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments to ASC Topic 326 require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, including trade receivables. For companies that qualify as smaller reporting companies, the amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements and note disclosures.
3. Inventory
Our inventory, net of allowance for obsolescence of $ 37,000 at June 30, 2021 and $ 221,000 at December 31, 2020, consisted of the following amounts:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(in thousands)
Raw materials - current $ 20,343 $ 18,026
Work-in-process 1,005 1,900
Inventory - current 21,348 19,926
Raw materials - long term (net of allowances of $ 37 and $ 221 , respectively)
1,171 1,065
Inventory - total $ 22,519 $ 20,991
Our long-term inventory consists of raw materials that remain viable but that the Company does not expect to sell or use within the year.
Inventory Allowance
Due to the slow moving nature or obsolescence of a portion of its long-term inventory and inventory related to the periodic retirement of rental equipment, the Company routinely reviews its inventory allowance balance for costs that may not be recoverable in the future.
A summary of our inventory allowance is as follows:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(in thousands)
Beginning balance $ ( 221 ) $ ( 24 )
Accruals — ( 251 )
Write-offs 184 54
Ending balance $ ( 37 ) $ ( 221 )
4. Federal Income Tax Receivable
As discussed in Note 2, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid federal income taxes. The Company generated significant NOLs during 2018 and 2019, and has filed amended returns to carryback these losses for five years. Accordingly, during 2020, the Company recorded a federal income tax receivable of $ 15.0 million and an increase to its deferred income tax liability of $ 10.1 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company received
9
refunds totaling $ 3.9 million related to its 2018 NOLs, which reduced its federal income tax receivable to $ 11.5 million on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.
5. Rental Equipment
Our rental equipment and associated accumulated depreciation as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, consisted of the following:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(in thousands)
Compressor units $ 390,930 $ 379,623
Work-in-process 4,333 3,764
Rental equipment 395,263 383,387
Accumulated depreciation ( 187,087 ) ( 175,802 )
Rental equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 208,176 $ 207,585
We evaluated our rental equipment for potential impairment as of June 30, 2021, and determined that no such impairment existed as of that date.
6. Credit Facility
Previous Credit Agreement
We had a senior secured revolving credit agreement the ("Previous Credit Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A (the "Lender") that matured on March 31, 2021. Prior to maturation, the outstanding balance of $ 417,000 was repaid. The Previous Credit Agreement had an aggregate commitment of $ 30 million, subject to collateral availability.
New Credit Agreement
On May 11, 2021, we entered into a five year senior secured revolving credit agreement ("New Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the "Lender") with an initial commitment of $ 20 million and an accordion feature that would increase the maximum commitment to $ 30 million, subject to collateral availability. We also have a right to request from the Lender, on an uncommitted basis, an increase of up to $ 30 million on the aggregate commitment; provided, however, the aggregate commitment amount is not permitted to exceed $ 50 million. The maturity date of the New Credit Agreement is May 11, 2026. The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on a variety of our assets, including inventory and accounts receivable as well as a variable number of our leased compressor equipment.
Borrowing Base. At any time before the maturity of the New Credit Agreement, we may draw, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the borrowing base up to the maximum aggregate availability discussed above. Generally, the borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 90 % of eligible accounts receivable owed to the Company by investment grade debtors, plus (b) 85 % of the eligible accounts receivable owing by non-investment grade debtors, plus (c) 50 % of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value at such time, subject to a cap of this component not to exceed $ 2.0 million, plus (d) the lesser of (i) 95 % of the net book value of the compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible for the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 25 years, at such time and (ii) 80 % of the net liquidation value percentage of the net book value of the eligible compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible for the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 25 years, at such time, plus (e) 80 % of the value at cost (excluding any costs for capitalized interest or other non-cash capitalized costs) of the eligible new compressor fleet, minus (f) any required availability reserves determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. The Lender may adjust the borrowing base components if material deviations in the collateral are discovered in future audits of the collateral. As of June 30, 2021, our allowable borrowing base was $ 20.0 million.
Interest and Fees. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, we have the option of selecting the applicable variable rate for each revolving loan, or portion thereof, of either (a) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the Applicable Margin, or (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. "Base Rate" means, for any day, a rate of interest per annum equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate for such day; (b) the sum of the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50 %; and (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such day plus 1.00 %. The Applicable Margin is determined based upon the leverage ratio as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by the Lender for each fiscal quarter from time to time pursuant to the New Credit Agreement. Depending on the leverage ratio, the Applicable Margin can be 0.25 % to 0.75 % for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) and 1.25 % to 1.75 % for Eurodollar Rate Loans and for requested letters of credit. Accrued interest is payable monthly on outstanding principal amounts, provided that accrued interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans is payable at the end of each interest period, but in no event less frequently than quarterly.

Covenants. The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as covenants which, among other things, condition or limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; make acquisitions in excess of certain amounts; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock or senior notes; make investments or loans; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; or change the nature of our business. In addition, we also have certain financial covenants that are applicable during certain trigger periods specified in the Credit Agreement and require us during such trigger periods to maintain a leverage ratio less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
Events of Default and Acceleration. The New Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for credit facilities of this size and type, and includes, without limitation, payment defaults; defaults in performance of covenants or other agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and the other transaction documents; inaccuracies in representations and warranties; certain defaults, termination events or similar events; certain defaults with respect to any other Company indebtedness in excess of $ 1.0 million; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; the rendering of certain judgments in excess of $ 1.0 million; certain ERISA events; certain change in control events and the defectiveness of any liens under the secured revolving credit agreement. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our New Credit Agreement. A default under our New Credit Agreement could trigger the acceleration of our debt such that it is immediately due and payable. Such default would likely limit our ability to access other credit. At June 30, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement.

Stock Repurchase Program
On August 12, 2019, the Company announced the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $ 10.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market, block trades or privately negotiated transactions.

The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and was set to expire on September 30, 2020, subject to earlier termination of the program by the Board of Directors. On October 23, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of the repurchase program through September 30, 2021.
