DAWSON GEOPHYSICAL COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Dawson Geophysical Company (the “Company”) is a leading provider of North American onshore seismic data acquisition services with operations throughout the continental United States (“U.S.”) and Canada. The Company acquires and processes 2-D, 3-D and multicomponent seismic data solely for its clients, ranging from major oil and gas companies to independent oil and gas operators as well as providers of multi-client data libraries.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been omitted.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Asset Purchase Agreement. On March 24, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wilks Brothers, LLC (“Wilks”) and Breckenridge Geophysical, LLC (“Breckenridge”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilks. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the Breckenridge assets related to seismic data acquisition services other than its multi-client data library, in exchange for a combination of equity consideration and a convertible note (the “Transaction”). While the Transaction was structured as an asset purchase, the Company’s financial presentation reflects combined results of the two companies as if the combination occurred on January 14, 2022, the date Wilks became the majority shareholder of the Company. This is due to the fact that both the Company and Breckenridge were under Wilks’ control from January 14, 2022 forward. The presentation is required as a combination of entities under common control. As part of the Purchase Agreement, in addition to the 1,188,235 shares of our common stock issued to Wilks at closing, we entered into a convertible note to deliver approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock to Wilks after the Company receives shareholder approval of the proposal to issue the shares upon conversion of the convertible note in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635. Until such approval, a convertible note payable amounting to approximately $9.9 million is included in non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Purchase Agreement has been accounted for as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The Company’s historical consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively revised to reflect the effects on financial position, cash flows, and results of operations attributable to the activities of Breckenridge for all periods presented and are thus marked “(as adjusted)”. The effects of transactions in Breckenridge’s equity prior to the Transaction have been presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity to demonstrate the effects of those transactions on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dawson Operating LLC, Dawson Seismic Services Holdings, Inc., Eagle Canada, Inc., Eagle Canada Seismic Services ULC, and Exploration Surveys, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, all transactions between the Company and Breckenridge for the year ended December 31, 2022 are retrospectively being eliminated on a combined, as pooled basis. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded

Table of Contents

approximately $2,200,000 of related party revenue from Breckenridge. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $1,327,000 of related party revenue from Breckenridge.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects its current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument and is determined based on a number of factors. Management determines the need for any allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on its review of past-due accounts, its past experience of historical write-offs, its current client base, when customer accounts exceed 90 days past due and specific customer account reviews. While the collectability of outstanding client invoices is continually assessed, the inherent volatility of the energy industry’s business cycle can cause swift and unpredictable changes in the financial stability of the Company’s clients. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $250,000 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Leases. The Company leases certain vehicles, seismic recording equipment, real property and office equipment under lease agreements. The Company evaluates each lease to determine its appropriate classification as a finance lease or an operating lease for financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities under finance leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. Assets under finance leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the initial lease term. Amortization of assets under finance leases is included in depreciation expense. For operating leases, where readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit interest rate in determining the present value of future minimum lease payments. In the absence of an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use assets are amortized to operating lease cost over the lease terms on a straight-line basis and is included in operating expense. Several of the Company’s leases include options to renew and the exercise of lease renewal options is primarily at the Company’s discretion.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is capitalized at historical cost, the fair value of assets acquired in a business combination, or historical carrying value of assets acquired from Breckenridge and is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Management’s estimation of this useful life is based on circumstances that exist in the seismic industry and information available at the time of the purchase of the asset. As circumstances change and new information becomes available, these estimates could change. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations for the period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when triggering events occur suggesting deterioration in the assets’ recoverability or fair value. Recognition of an impairment charge is required if future expected undiscounted net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets and the fair value of the assets is below the carrying value of the assets. Management’s forecast of future cash flows used to perform impairment analysis includes estimates of future revenues and expenses based on the Company’s anticipated future results while considering anticipated future oil and natural gas prices, which is fundamental in assessing demand for the Company’s services. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of possible impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards, which include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and common stock awards, using the fair value method and recognizes compensation expense, net of actual forfeitures, as operating or general and administrative expense, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related awards.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. Preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with 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. Because of the use of assumptions and estimates inherent in the reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition. Services are provided under cancelable service contracts which usually have an original expected duration of one year or less. These contracts are either “turnkey” or “term” agreements. Under both types of agreements, the Company recognizes revenues as the services are performed. Revenue is generally recognized based on square miles of data recorded compared to total square miles anticipated to be recorded on the survey using the total estimated revenue for the service contract. In the case of a cancelled service contract, the client is billed and revenue is recognized for any third party charges and square miles of data recorded up to the date of cancellation.

The Company receives reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses under the terms of the service contracts. The amounts billed to clients are included at their gross amount in the total estimated revenue for the service contract.

Clients are billed as permitted by the service contract. Contract assets and contract liabilities are the result of timing differences between revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. If billing occurs prior to the revenue recognition or billing exceeds the revenue recognized, the amount is considered deferred revenue and a contract liability. Conversely, if the revenue recognition exceeds the billing,

Table of Contents

the excess is considered an unbilled receivable and a contract asset. As services are performed, those deferred revenue amounts are recognized as revenue.

In some instances, third-party permitting, surveying, drilling, helicopter, equipment rental and mobilization costs that directly relate to the contract are utilized to fulfill the contract obligations. These fulfillment costs are capitalized in other current assets and generally amortized based on the total square miles of data recorded compared to total square miles anticipated to be recorded on the survey using the total estimated fulfillment costs for the service contract.

Estimates for total revenue and total fulfillment cost on any service contract are based on significant qualitative and quantitative judgments. Management considers a variety of factors such as whether various components of the performance obligation will be performed internally or externally, cost of third party services, and facts and circumstances unique to the performance obligation in making these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments. Such limiting results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. It also simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments, reduces complexity for preparers and practitioners, and improves the decision usefulness and relevance of the information provided to financial statement users. In addition to eliminating certain accounting models, the Board also decided to enhance information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance on the basis of feedback from financial statement users. For smaller reporting companies, this ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU can be adopted through either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition. An entity that elects to early adopt in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period; however, the Company had no transactions subject to this ASU outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2023 with the modified retrospective method and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments in certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, other current liabilities, notes payable, finance leases and operating lease liabilities. Due to the short-term maturities of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value at the respective balance sheet dates. The carrying value of the notes payable, finance leases and operating lease liabilities approximate their fair value based on a comparison with the prevailing market interest rate. Due to the short-term maturities of the Company’s investments in certificates of deposit, the carrying amounts approximate fair value at the respective balance sheet dates. The fair values of the Company’s notes payable and investments in certificates of deposit are level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

Disaggregated Revenues

The Company has one line of business, acquiring and processing seismic data in North America. Our chief operating decision maker (President and Chief Executive Officer) makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on the Company as a whole. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in a single reportable segment. The following table presents the Company’s operating revenues (unaudited and in thousands) disaggregated by geographic region:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023	2022 (as adjusted)
Operating Revenues
United States	$	18,796	$	10,758
Canada		10,612		11,176

Deferred costs were $5,433 and $972 at January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets at March 31, 2023 and 2022 included deferred costs incurred to fulfill contracts with customers of $8,556 and $147, respectively.

Deferred costs at March 31, 2023 compared to January 1, 2023 increased primarily as a result of new projects for clients with significant deferred fulfillment costs at March 31, 2023. Deferred costs at March 31, 2022 compared to January 1, 2022 decreased primarily as a result of the completion of several projects during that three month period that had deferred fulfillment costs at January 1, 2022.

The amount of total deferred costs amortized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $7,351 and $1,648, respectively. There were no material impairment losses incurred during these periods.

Deferred Revenue (in thousands)

Deferred revenue was $7,380 and $1,344 at January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s deferred revenue at March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $8,289 and $489, respectively.

Deferred revenue at March 31, 2023 compared to January 1, 2023 increased primarily as a result of new projects for clients with large third party reimbursables where data had not yet been recorded. Deferred revenue at March 31, 2022 compared to January 1, 2022 decreased primarily as a result of completing projects for clients with prepayments for third party reimbursables.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of 2023 was $2,990 and $936, respectively.

5. DEBT

Dominion Loan Agreement

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Dominion Bank, a Texas state bank (“Dominion Bank”). On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement (the “Fourth Modification”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended by (i) that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2020, (ii) that certain Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2021, (iii) that certain Third Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2022, and (iv) the Fourth Modification, the “Loan Agreement”) for the purpose of (a) amending the principal amount under the Company’s line of credit with Dominion Bank, and (b) obtaining Dominion Bank’s consent with respect to the Company’s consummation of the Transaction and related waivers with respect to implicated covenants. The Loan Agreement now provides for a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an amount up to the lesser of (I) $5,000,000 or (II) a sum equal to (A) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus (B) 100% of the amount on deposit with Dominion Bank in the Company’s collateral account, including a certificate of deposit for $5,000,000 (the “Deposit”). Previously, Dominion Bank’s commitment was for up to $10,000,000. The Company received a limited waiver and consent from Dominion Bank with respect to any non-compliance with applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement, including the tangible net worth covenant, in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the common shares and the Convertible Note (as defined below) in the Transaction. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and has approximately $5,000,000 available for withdrawal.

Table of Contents

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) 7.75% and (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal or (b) 4.75%. The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the difference of (a) $10,000,000 minus the Deposit minus (b) the daily average usage of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on disposition of assets. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Loan Agreement, including maintaining a tangible net worth of not less than $38,000,000 and, to be tested as of the end of each calendar quarter, unencumbered liquid assets of not less than $5,000,000, and specified ratios with respect to current assets and liabilities and debt to tangible net worth. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in the collateral account (including the Deposit) with Dominion Bank and future accounts receivable and related collateral. The maturity date of the Loan Agreement is September 30, 2023.

Dominion Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2023, Dominion Bank has issued one letter of credit in the amount of $265,000 to support the Company’s workers compensation insurance. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit with Dominion Bank.

Convertible Note

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has a convertible note payable of approximately $9,880,000 payable on or after June 30, 2024 to Wilks upon written demand (the “Convertible Note”). With shareholder approval, this note may be converted to 5,811,765 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.70.

Other Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has two short-term notes payable to a finance company for various insurance premiums totaling $500,000.

In addition, the Company leases certain seismic recording equipment and vehicles under leases classified as finance leases. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 includes finance leases of $368,000.

6. LEASES

The Company leases certain vehicles, seismic recording equipment, real property and office equipment under lease agreements. The Company evaluates each lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating lease or finance lease for financial reporting purposes. The majority of our operating leases are non-cancelable operating leases for office and shop space in Midland, Plano, Houston, Oklahoma City and Calgary, Alberta. There have been no material changes to our leases since the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes of any such legal proceedings, management believes that the resolution of pending legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, as the Company believes it is adequately indemnified and insured.

We are also party to the following legal proceeding: On April 1, 2019, Weatherford International, LLC and Weatherford U.S., L.P. (collectively, “Weatherford”) filed a petition in state district court for Midland County, Texas, in which the Company and eighteen other parties were named as defendants, alleging the Company and/or the other named defendants contributed to or caused contamination of groundwater at and around property owned by Weatherford. Weatherford is seeking declaratory judgment, recovery and contribution for past and future costs incurred in responding to or correcting the contamination at and around the property from each defendant. The Company disputes Weatherford’s allegations with respect to the Company and intends to vigorously defend itself in this case. Subsequent to the filing of the petition, Weatherford filed for bankruptcy protection on July 1, 2019. While the outcome and impact of this legal proceeding on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that the resolution of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Additionally, the Company experiences contractual disputes with its clients from time to time regarding the payment of invoices or other matters. While the Company seeks to minimize these disputes and maintain good relations with its clients, the Company has experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, disputes that could affect its revenues and results of operations in any period.

8. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data) was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022 (as adjusted)
Net loss	$	(413)	$	(1,385)
Weighted average common shares outstanding
Basic		25,000,564		24,709,159
Dilutive common stock options, restricted stock unit awards and restricted stock awards		—		—
Diluted		25,000,564		24,709,159
Basic loss per share of common stock	$	(0.02)	$	(0.06)
Diluted loss per share of common stock	$	(0.02)	$	(0.06)

The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. As a result, all stock options, restricted stock unit awards and restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive and excluded from weighted average shares used in determining the diluted loss per share of common stock for those periods.

Table of Contents

The 5,811,765 shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

9. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 4.0% and -0.1%, respectively. The Company’s nominal or negative effective tax rate for the periods above was due to the presence of net operating loss carryovers and adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over an extended amount of time. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for taxable earnings.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 does not include income tax benefits for all of the losses incurred because the Company has recorded valuation allowances against significantly all of its federal, state and foreign deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded valuation allowances against the associated deferred tax assets for the amounts it deems are not more likely than not realizable. Based on management’s belief that not all the net operating losses are realizable, a federal valuation allowance and additional state valuation allowances were maintained during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. In addition, due to the Company’s recent operating losses and valuation allowances, the Company may recognize reduced or no tax benefits on future losses on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of the valuation allowances considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for future growth.

10. SUPPLEMENTAL PURCHASE AGREEMENT TRANSACTION INFORMATION

Historical financial information for Breckenridge was derived from Breckenridge’s unaudited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial information of Breckenridge reflects all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The non-cash items associated with the Purchase Agreement (unaudited and in thousands) shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consist of “Deemed distribution (contribution)” and “Acquisition of Breckenridge net assets” and are derived as follows:

Table of Contents

Because the Transaction constitutes a transaction among entities under common control, the excess purchase price over the historical carrying value of the net assets acquired was recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The excess purchase price over the historical carrying value of the assets at the acquisition date (unaudited and in thousands) is as follows:


Excess Purchase Price	March 24, 2023

Q filed with the SEC. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a leading provider of North American onshore seismic data acquisition services with operations throughout the continental U.S. and Canada. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the seismic data acquisition services we provide to our clients. Our clients consist of major oil and gas companies, independent oil and gas operators, and providers of multi-client data libraries. In recent years, our primary customer base has consisted of providers of multi-client data libraries. Demand for our services depends upon the level of spending by these companies for exploration, production, development and field management activities, which depends, in a large part, on oil and natural gas prices. Significant fluctuations in domestic oil and natural gas exploration and development activities related to commodity prices, as we have recently experienced, have affected, and will continue to affect, demand for our services and our results of operations, and such fluctuations continue to be the single most important factor affecting our business and results of operations.

We began the year with one large channel count crew operating in the lower 48 dropping to one mid-size channel count crew in February through the end of the first quarter. A second mid-size crew deployed in early March. During the Canadian winter season that ended in early April, there were up to four smaller crews in operation. With the conclusion of the winter season, there is currently no crew activity in Canada.

The operation of the two crews in the lower 48 continued into the second quarter, with one larger channel count crew in the Eagle Ford area and one mid-size crew in the Utica Basin. We anticipate that the Utica Basin crew will have an extended period of down time during the middle of the second quarter due to project readiness delays. Efforts are ongoing to fill the near term period of low utilization until the crew returns to the second Utica project later in the second quarter.

Capital spending levels by Exploration and Production companies is improving but remains low compared to pre-pandemic levels. Consequently, demand for seismic services in North America also remains below pre-pandemic levels and bid activity continues to be intermittent. The ability to fill gaps in the schedule with smaller projects remains a focus and visibility for 2023 has improved compared to the same time one year ago. We expect to operate two crews through the third quarter and may encounter periods of low utilization affecting one crew near the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. As mentioned, we are directing efforts to fill the schedule during both periods. Based on currently available information, crew activity in the lower 48 during the fourth quarter and into the first quarter of 2024 is expected to be at high levels.

Our first quarter success is primarily the result of improved market conditions, timing of projects becoming crew ready and operational execution by the Dawson team. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Exploration and Production companies have maintained a commitment toward financial discipline. As a result, many seismic projects that were scheduled for 2021 and 2022, in some cases, were either shelved or delayed. Much of this, however, started to change as seismic projects that had been placed on hold began to return to market in late 2022. For the first quarter of 2023, we experienced our first profitable quarter since 2020, absent Breckenridge contribution.

While our revenues are mainly affected by the level of client demand for our services, our revenues are also affected by the pricing for our services that we negotiate with our clients and the productivity and utilization level of our data acquisition crews. Factors impacting productivity and utilization levels include: client demand, commodity prices, whether we enter into turnkey or dayrate contracts with our clients, the number and size of crews, the number of recording channels per crew, crew downtime related to inclement weather, delays in acquiring land access permits, agricultural or hunting activity, holiday schedules, short winter days, crew repositioning and equipment failure. To the extent we experience these factors, our operating results may be affected from quarter to quarter. Consequently, our efforts to negotiate more favorable contract terms in our supplemental service agreements, mitigate permit access delays and improve overall crew productivity may contribute to growth in our revenues.

Results of Operations

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues for the first quarter of 2023 increased 34.1% to $29,408,000 compared to $21,934,000 in the same period of 2022. The increased revenue during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was primarily due to increased crew utilization during 2023.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 increased 65.1% to $23,782,000 compared to $14,403,000 in the same period of 2022. The increase in operating expenses during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was primarily due to the increased crew utilization during 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were 11.9% and 26.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased $2,369,000 or 40.4% to $3,499,000 during the first quarter of

Table of Contents

2023 from $5,868,000 during the same period of 2022. The primary factors for the decrease in general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was due to transaction costs of $715,000 in connection with the Purchase Agreement with Breckenridge in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $2,872,000 incurred related to the previously disclosed proposed merger with a subsidiary of Wilks Brothers, LLC during the same period of 2022.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $2,700,000 compared to $3,101,000 for the same period of 2022. Depreciation expense decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 as a result of multiple years of reduced capital expenditures.

Total operating costs for the first quarter of 2023 were $29,981,000, representing a 28.3% increase from the same period of 2022. The increase in operating costs for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to the factors described above.

Income Taxes. Income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2023 was $17,000, compared to income tax expense of $1,000 for the same period of 2022. These amounts represent effective tax rates of 4.0% and -0.1% for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s nominal or negative effective tax rate for the periods above was due to the presence of net operating loss carryovers and adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 21.0% for certain items such as state and local taxes, valuation allowances, and non-deductible expenses. For further information, see Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of EBITDA (a Non-GAAP measure)

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Our management uses EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess:

●

the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis;

●

our liquidity and operating performance over time in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that we believe calculate EBITDA in a similar manner; and

●

the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient for us to pay potential interest costs.

We also understand that such data are used by investors to assess our performance. However, the term EBITDA is not defined under GAAP, and EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. When assessing our operating performance or liquidity, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as us. Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

The reconciliation of our EBITDA to net loss and to net cash used in operating activities, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are provided in the following tables (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash are amounts earned from the seismic data acquisition services we provide to our clients. Our principal uses of cash are the amounts used to provide these services, including expenses related to our operations and acquiring new equipment. Accordingly, our cash position depends (as do our revenues) on the level of demand for our services. Historically, cash generated from our operations along with cash reserves and borrowings from commercial banks have been sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and, to some extent, our capital expenditures.

Cash Flows. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,820,000 and $9,149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to cash received for an employee retention credit of $3,035,000 in 2023 along with various changes in the balances of our operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,595,000 and $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities between periods of $2,577,000 was primarily due to an increase in cash capital expenditures to $1,606,000 for the first three months of 2023 compared to capital expenditures of $28,000 for the same period of 2022. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, Breckenridge acquired $1,000,000 of short-term investments that was a deemed distribution in the non-cash section of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3,224,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was primarily comprised of principal payments of $144,000 and $25,000 under our notes payable and finance leases, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, Breckenridge had cash distributions of $3,055,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,647,000 and was primarily comprised of principal payments of $328,000 and $9,000 under our notes payable and finance leases, respectively and tax withholdings related to stock-based compensation awards. These amounts were offset by sales of our treasury stock of $113,000 and Breckenridge cash contributions of $1,950,000 in connection with the Transaction.

Capital Expenditures. The Board of Directors approved an initial 2023 capital budget in the amount of $5,000,000 for capital expenditures, which was limited to necessary maintenance capital requirements and incremental recording channel replacement or increase. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have spent $1,117,000 on capital expenditures, primarily for rolling stock and maintenance capital requirements. In recent years, we have funded most of our capital expenditures through cash flow from operations, cash reserves, equipment term loans and finance leases.

We continually strive to supply our clients with technologically advanced 3-D seismic data acquisition recording services and data processing capabilities. We maintain equipment in and out of service in anticipation of increased future demand for our services.

Capital Resources. Historically, we have primarily relied on cash generated from operations, cash reserves and borrowings from commercial banks to fund our working capital requirements and, to some extent, our capital expenditures. We have funded some of our capital expenditures through commercial bank borrowings, finance leases and equipment term loans. The amount of borrowings available to us under our existing credit facility are determined in part by the amount of our eligible accounts receivable.

Loan Agreement

Dominion Credit Facility. On September 30, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Dominion Bank. On March 21, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement to the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended by (i) that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2020, (ii) that certain Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2021, (iii) that certain Third Loan Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2022, and (iv) the Fourth Modification, the “Loan Agreement”) for the purpose of (a) amending the principal amount under our line of credit with Dominion Bank, and (b) obtaining Dominion Bank’s consent with respect to our consummation of the Transaction and related waivers with respect to implicated covenants. The Loan Agreement now provides for a secured revolving credit facility in an amount up to the lesser of (I) $5,000,000 or (II) a sum equal to (A) 80% of our eligible accounts receivable plus (B) 100% of the amount on deposit with Dominion Bank in our collateral account, including a certificate of deposit for $5,000,000. Previously, Dominion Bank’s commitment was for up to $10,000,000. We received a limited waiver and consent from Dominion Bank with respect to any non-compliance with applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement, including the tangible net worth covenant, in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the common shares and the Convertible Note

Table of Contents

in the Transaction. As of March 31, 2023, we have not borrowed any amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and have approximately $5,000,000 available for withdrawal.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) 7.75% and (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal or (b) 4.75%. We will pay a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the difference of (a) $10,000,000 minus the Deposit minus (b) the daily average usage of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on disposition of assets. We are also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Loan Agreement, including maintaining a tangible net worth of not less than $38,000,000 and, to be tested as of the end of each calendar quarter, unencumbered liquid assets of not less than $5,000,000, and specified ratios with respect to current assets and liabilities and debt to tangible net worth. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in the collateral account (including the Deposit) with Dominion Bank and future accounts receivable and related collateral. The maturity date of the Loan Agreement is September 30, 2023.

Dominion Letters of Credit. As of March 31, 2023, Dominion Bank has issued one letter of credit in the amount of $265,000 to support our workers compensation insurance. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit with Dominion Bank.

Convertible Note

As of March 31, 2023, we have a convertible note payable of approximately $9,880,000 payable on or after June 30, 2024 to Wilks upon written demand. With shareholder approval, this Convertible Note may be converted to 5,811,765 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.70.

Other Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2023, we have two short-term notes payable to a finance company for various insurance premiums totaling $500,000.

In addition, we lease certain seismic recording equipment and vehicles under leases classified as finance leases. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 includes finance leases of $368,000.

Maturities and Interest Rates of Debt

The following tables set forth the aggregate principal amount (in thousands) under our outstanding notes payable and the interest rates as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The aggregate maturities of finance leases as of March 31, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):


April 2023 - March 2024	$	91
April 2024 - March 2025		97
April 2025 - March 2026		150
April 2026 - March 2027		30
Obligations under finance leases	$	368

Interest rates range from 5.29% to 7.66%.

Contractual Obligations

We believe that our capital resources, including our cash on hand, short-term investments, cash flow from operations, and funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our current operational needs. We believe that we will be able to finance our 2023 capital expenditures through cash flow from operations, borrowings from commercial lenders, and the funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility. However, our ability to satisfy working capital requirements, meet debt repayment obligations, and fund future capital requirements will depend principally upon our future operating performance, which is subject to the risks inherent in our business, and will also depend on the extent to which the current economic climate adversely affects the ability of our customers, and/or potential customers, to promptly pay amounts owing to us under their service contracts with us.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments. Such limiting results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. It also simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments, reduces complexity for preparers and practitioners, and improves the decision usefulness and relevance of the information provided to financial statement users. In addition to eliminating certain accounting models, the Board also decided to enhance information transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance on the basis of feedback from financial statement users. For smaller reporting companies, this ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU can be adopted through either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition. An entity that elects to early adopt in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period; however, we had no transactions subject to this ASU outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2023 with the modified retrospective method and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. These risks arise primarily as a result of potential changes to operating concentration of credit risk and changes in interest rates. We have not entered into any hedge arrangements, commodity swap agreements, commodity futures, options or other derivative financial instruments. We also conduct business in Canada, which subjects our results of operations and cash flows to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our principal market risks include fluctuations in commodity prices, which affect demand for and pricing of our services, and the risk related to the concentration of our clients in the oil and natural gas industry. Since all of our clients are involved in the oil and natural gas industry, there may be a positive or negative effect on our exposure to credit risk because our clients may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. As an example, changes to existing regulations or the adoption of new regulations may unfavorably impact us, our suppliers or our clients. In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our clients. Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our clients and maintain allowances for possible losses. Our historical experience supports our allowance for doubtful accounts of $250,000 at March 31, 2023. This does not necessarily indicate that it would be adequate to cover a payment default by one large or several smaller clients.

We generally provide services to certain key clients that account for a significant percentage of our accounts receivable at any given time. Our key clients vary over time. We extend credit to various companies in the oil and natural gas industry, including our key clients, for the acquisition of seismic data, which results in a concentration of credit risk. This concentration of credit risk may be affected by changes in the economic or other conditions of our key clients and may accordingly impact our overall credit risk. If any of these significant clients were to terminate their contracts or fail to contract for our services in the future because they are acquired, alter their exploration or development strategy, or for any other reason, our results of operations could be affected. Because of the nature of our contracts and clients’ projects, our largest clients can change from year to year, and the largest clients in any year may not be indicative of the largest clients in any subsequent year.

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on the outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility which has variable interest rates.

We generally have cash in the bank which exceeds federally insured limits. Historically, we have not experienced any losses in such accounts; however, volatility in financial markets may impact our credit risk on cash and short-term investments. At March 31, 2023, cash, restricted cash and short term investments totaled $16,209,000.
