BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered certified public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017 , its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , its comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refers to SEACOR Holdings Inc without its consolidated subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning given those terms in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
Discontinued Operations. On June 1, 2017, the Company completed the spin-off of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine”), the company that operated SEACOR’s Offshore Marine Services business segment (the “Spin-off”), by means of a dividend of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SEACOR Marine to SEACOR’s shareholders. SEACOR Marine is now an independent company whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SMHI.” For all periods presented herein, the Company has reported the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SEACOR Marine as discontinued operations (see Note 13).
On July 3, 2017, the Company effected the sale of its 70% interest in Illinois Corn Processing LLC (“ICP”), the company that operated SEACOR’s Illinois Corn Processing business segment, through a merger transaction whereby the Company received $21.0 million in cash and issued a note to the buyer for $32.7 million , subject to a working capital adjustment, resulting in a third quarter gain of $11.6 million , net of tax. The principal amount of the promissory note accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 5% for the first three months, 8% for the next three months and 10% thereafter, and matures on January 3, 2019. The obligations of ICP under the promissory note are secured by the equity and substantially all of the assets of ICP. ICP operates a single-site alcohol manufacturing, storage and distribution facility producing alcohol used in the food, beverage, industrial and petrochemical end-markets. For all periods presented herein, the Company has reported the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of ICP as discontinued operations (see Note 13).
Subsequent Event. On July 3, 2017, International Shipholding Corporation (“ISH”) emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to its chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) that had been confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Pursuant to the Plan, SEACOR Ocean Transport Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the equity of the reorganized ISH. ISH, through its subsidiaries, operates a diversified fleet of U.S. and foreign-flag vessels that provide worldwide and domestic maritime transportation services to commercial and governmental customers primarily under medium to long-term charters and contracts. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company paid $10.5 million in cash, converted $18.1 million of debtor in possession financing into equity and borrowed $25.0 million under a new credit facility that is secured by the assets and equity of ISH and is non-recourse to SEACOR and its subsidiaries other than ISH (see Note 4).
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met.
Property and Equipment. Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the time period beyond which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.

6


As of June 30, 2017 , the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:
Inland river dry-cargo and deck barges
20
Inland river liquid tank barges
25
Inland river towboats and harbor boats
25
Product tankers - U.S.-flag
25
Short-sea Container/RORO (1)   vessels
20
Harbor and offshore tugs
25
Ocean liquid tank barges
25
Terminal facilities
20
______________________
(1)
Roll on/Roll off (“RORO”).
Equipment maintenance and repair costs including the costs of routine overhauls, drydockings and inspections performed on vessels and equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life or improve the marketing and commercial characteristics of equipment as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties are capitalized.
Certain interest costs incurred during the construction of equipment are capitalized as part of the assets’ carrying values and are amortized over such assets’ estimated useful lives. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , capitalized interest totaled $2.1 million .
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. These indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset or asset group is being used or in its physical condition, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. If the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the estimated fair value of the assets or asset groups are compared to their current carrying value and impairment charges are recorded if the carrying value exceeds fair value. The Company performs its testing on an asset or asset group basis. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective and actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million related to long-lived assets held for use. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recognized no impairment charges related to long-lived assets held for use.
Impairment of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Investments in 50% or less owned companies are reviewed periodically to assess whether there is an other-than-temporary decline in the carrying value of the investment. In its evaluation, the Company considers, among other items, recent and expected financial performance and returns, impairments recorded by the investee and the capital structure of the investee. When the Company determines the estimated fair value of an investment is below carrying value and the decline is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates due to the uncertainty regarding projected financial performance, the severity and expected duration of declines in value, and the available liquidity in the capital markets to support the continuing operations of the investee, among other factors. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the investee’s actual performance compared with the estimates could produce different results and lead to additional impairment charges in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its 50% or less owned companies.
Income Taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company’s effective income tax rate of 1.7% was primarily due to taxes not provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests (see Note 8).

Deferred Gains. The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies, and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies.

New Accounting Pronouncements. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The core principal of the new standard is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company is currently determining the impact, if any, the adoption of the new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Principal versus agent considerations of the new standard with respect to the Company’s vessel management services and pooling arrangements may result in a gross presentation of operating revenues and expenses compared with its current net presentation for results from managed and pooled third party equipment.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new leasing standard, which improves transparency and comparability among companies by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which amends or clarifies guidance on classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows, including classification of proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, debt prepayments, debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments after a business combination. This new standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 24, 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which simplified wording and removes step two of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform step two of the goodwill test. The new standard is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING STRATEGIES
Cash Flow Hedges. SeaJon, one of the Company’s 50% or less owned companies, had an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge that matured in April 2017.

The exchange option liability on subsidiary convertible senior notes terminated as a consequence of the Spin-off.
The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. As of June 30, 2017 , there were no outstanding forward currency exchange contracts.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data.

The estimated fair value includes the embedded conversion options on the Company’s 2.5% and 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes.
The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and notes receivable from third parties was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS
AMOPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company received notification from the AMOPP that the Company’s withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2016 would have been $28.6 million based on an actuarial valuation performed as of that date. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of June 30, 2017 , the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.

On December 15, 2010, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in one of the several “master complaints” filed in the overall multi-district litigation relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico, which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “MDL”). The “B3” master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally and the use of dispersants specifically. Both prior to and following the filing of the aforementioned master complaint, individual civil actions naming the Company, ORM, and/or NRC alleging B3 exposure-based injuries and/or damages were consolidated with the MDL and stayed pursuant to court order, discussed in turn below. The Company has continually taken the position that all of the B3 claims asserted against ORM and NRC have no merit. On February 16, 2016, all but eleven B3 claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed with prejudice, whether by joinder in the master complaint, individual complaint, or otherwise (the “B3 Dismissal Order”). On August 2, 2016, the Court granted an omnibus motion for summary judgment as it concerns ORM and NRC in its entirety, dismissing the remaining eleven plaintiffs’ against ORM and NRC with prejudice (the “Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order”).
As noted above, various civil actions concerning the Deepwater Horizon clean-up have been consolidated with the MDL, although a number of them have been dismissed or otherwise resolved. A summary of the remaining claims is as follows:
On October 3, 2012, ORM and NRC were served with a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint by Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C. and Jambon Marine Holdings L.L.C. in their Limitation of Liability action, in the Matter of Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C., et al. , No. 2:12-CV-00426 (E.D. La.) (the “ Jambon Action”). This Third-Party Complaint alleges that if claimant David Dinwiddie, who served as a clean-up crewmember aboard the M/V JAMBON SUPPLIER II vessel during the clean-up efforts, was injured as a result of his exposure to dispersants and chemicals during the course and scope of his employment, then said injuries were caused by the third-party defendants. The Jambon Action remains stayed.

14


On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al. , No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.) (the “ Fitzgerald Action”), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. While the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action’s claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed by virtue of the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, the claim as against the Company remains stayed. Following a status conference with the Court on February 17, 2017, the Court issued several new pretrial orders in connection with the remaining claims in the MDL.
On July 18, 2017, the Court issued an order dismissing all remaining “B3” claims in the MDL with prejudice, with the exception of certain claims specifically listed on an exhibit annexed to the order (the “Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order”). Mr. Dinwiddie, the claimant at issue in the Jambon Action, was not listed in this exhibit to the Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order, and so this claim against ORM and NRC has been dismissed with prejudice. Nathan Fitzgerald, the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action, was listed, and so this claim against the Company remains pending. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters, to the extent they remain viable, but believes they are without merit and does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”), Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., and M-I L.L.C. (“M-I”) also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief. The remainder of the aforementioned cross-claims in Transocean’s limitation action remain pending, although the Company believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters has been reduced as a result of the various developments in the MDL, including the B3 Dismissal Order and Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 16, 2012, 668 individuals who served as beach clean-up workers in Escambia County, Florida during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court for the First Judicial Circuit of Florida, in and for Escambia County, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al. , No. 2012-CA-002947, in which they allege, among other things, that ORM and other defendants engaged in the contamination of Florida waters and beaches in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 376 and injured the Plaintiffs by exposing them to dispersants during the course and scope of their employment. This case was removed to federal court and ultimately consolidated with the MDL on April 2, 2013. On April 22, 2013, a companion case to this matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Abood et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al. , No. 3:13-CV-00284 (N.D. Fla.), which alleges identical allegations against the same parties but names an additional 174 Plaintiffs, all of whom served as clean-up workers in various Florida counties during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. This case was consolidated with the MDL on May 10, 2013. By court order, both of these matters were then stayed since they were consolidated with the MDL. The names of only a very small percentage of the claimants in these two matters appear to be listed on the exhibit to the Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the developments in the MDL, including the settlements discussed below, on these cases, but believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters has been reduced as a result of these developments and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and BP America Production Company (“BP America”) (collectively “BP”) and the Plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, Plaintiffs’ economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP. Both settlements were granted final approval by the Court, all appeals have concluded, and the deadline for submitting claims with respect to both settlements has passed. Although neither the Company, ORM, nor NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed as released parties on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements. Consequently, class members who did not file timely requests for exclusion will be barred from pursuing economic loss, property damage, personal injury, medical monitoring, and/or other released claims against the Company, ORM, and NRC. The Company believes these settlements have reduced the potential exposure, if any, in connection with the various cases relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up and continues to evaluate the settlements’ impacts on these cases.
In the course of the Company’s business, it may agree to indemnify the counterparty to an agreement. If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement. Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Pursuant

15


to the agreement governing the sale, the Company’s potential liability to the purchaser may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction. The Company is currently indemnified under contractual agreements with BP for the potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
12.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform the current period’s reportable segment presentation as a result of the Company’s presentation of discontinued operations (see Notes 1 and 13). The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss is as previously defined in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
The Company’s segment presentation and basis of measurement of segment profit or loss are as previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The following tables summarize the operating results, capital expenditures and assets of the Company’s reportable segments.

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements. Actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including weakening demand for the Company’s services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company’s businesses could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with the provision of emergency response services, decreased demand for the Company’s services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines in valuations in the global financial markets and a lack of liquidity in the credit sectors, including, interest rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, change in laws, trade barriers, commodity prices and currency exchange fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, safety record requirements related to Shipping Services, decreased demand for Shipping Services due to construction of additional refined petroleum product, natural gas or crude oil pipelines or due to decreased demand for refined petroleum products, crude oil or chemical products or a change in existing methods of delivery, compliance with U.S. and foreign government laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations and economic sanctions, the dependence of Inland River Services and Shipping Services on several key customers, consolidation of the Company’s customer base, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels, industry fleet capacity, restrictions imposed by the Shipping Acts on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, operational risks of Inland River Services and Shipping Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, the level of grain export volume, the effect of fuel prices on barge towing costs, variability in freight rates for inland river barges, the effect of international economic and political factors on Inland River Services’ operations, adequacy of insurance coverage ,the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Spin-off, the ability to remediate the material weaknesses the Company has identified in its internal controls over financial reporting, the attraction and retention of qualified personnel by the Company, and various other matters and factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control as well as those discussed in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by the Company with the SEC. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the preceding should not be considered to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. It is advisable, however, to consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (if any). These statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Overview
The Company’s operations are divided into three main business segments – Inland River Services, Shipping Services and Witt O’Brien’s. The Company also has activities, referred to and described under Other, that primarily include lending and leasing activities and noncontrolling investments in various other businesses.
Discontinued Operations. On June 1, 2017, the Company completed the spin-off of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR Marine”), the company that operated SEACOR’s Offshore Marine Services business segment (the “Spin-off”), by means of a dividend of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SEACOR Marine to SEACOR’s shareholders . SEACOR Marine is now an independent company whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SMHI.” The Company provides certain transition services to SEACOR Marine, including, among other things, human resource and benefit administration, information technology infrastructure, cash management and general accounting support services.
On July 3, 2017, the Company effected the sale of its 70% interest in Illinois Corn Processing LLC (“ICP”), the company that operated SEACOR’s Illinois Corn Processing business segment, through a merger transaction whereby the Company received $21.0 million in cash and issued a note to the buyer for $32.7 million , subject to a working capital adjustment, resulting in a third quarter gain of $11.6 million , net of tax. The obligations of ICP under the promissory note are secured by the equity and substantially

21


all of the assets of ICP. ICP operates a single-site alcohol manufacturing, storage and distribution facility producing alcohol used in the food, beverage, industrial and petrochemical end-markets.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $3.8 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from the dry-cargo barge pools were $1.0 million higher primarily due to increased loadings and higher storage revenue. As of June 30, 2017, approximately 16% of the Company's dry-cargo barge pool fleet was idled compared with 11% in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues from the charter-out of dry-cargo barges were $0.4 million lower primarily due to barges coming off charter and being placed in the dry-cargo barge pool. Operating revenues from liquid unit tow operations were $1.0 million lower following the sale of equipment during the second quarter of 2016. Operating revenues from terminal operations were $1.4 million higher primarily due to increased container movements in new terminal locations. Operating revenues from fleeting operations were $1.4 million higher primarily due to higher activity levels and the acquisition of fleeting assets during the fourth quarter of 2016. Operating revenues from the inland river towboat operations and other activities were $1.4 million higher primarily due to increased activity for the Company’s liquid tank barge operations in Colombia.
Operating Expenses . Operating expenses were $4.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Barge logistics expenses were $3.0 million higher primarily due to higher towing and switching costs as a consequence of higher activity levels and increased towing rates. Fuel, lubes and supplies costs were $0.8 million higher primarily due to the acquisition of fleeting assets during the fourth quarter of 2016 and increased activity in the Company’s liquid tank barge operations in Colombia. Other operating expenses were $0.7 million higher primarily due to increased container movements and higher trucking rates supporting terminal operations.
Administrative and General . Administrative and general expenses were $0.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to higher compensation costs related to the accelerated vesting of share awards as a consequence of the Spin-off.

23


Gains on Asset Dispositions, Net. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold one towboat and 50 dry-cargo barges for net proceeds of $18.8 million and gains of $13.0 million, of which $5.3 million were recognized currently and $7.7 million were deferred.

In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.6 million.
Operating Income (Loss). Excluding gains on asset dispositions, operating loss as a percentage of operating revenues was 15% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 11% in the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower dry-cargo barge earnings partially offset by increased activity for the Company’s liquid tank barge operations in Colombia.
Foreign currency gains (losses), net. During the Current Year Quarter foreign currency losses, net were primarily due to the weakening of the Colombian peso in relation to the U.S. dollar underlying certain of the Company’s intercompany lease obligations.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $16.4 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $27.0 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months.
Operating revenues for petroleum transportation were $13.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $23.0 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to fewer out-of-service days and placing three newly built U.S.-flag product tankers into service partially offset by lower time charter rates for two U.S.-flag product tankers.
Operating revenues for harbor towing and bunkering were $1.1 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $1.2 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the commencement of a time charter contract for one U.S.-flag offshore tug during February 2017 and a bareboat charter contract for two foreign-flag harbor tugs during April 2017.
Operating revenues for short-sea transportation were $1.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $3.4 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to higher cargo shipping demand.
Operating Expenses . Operating expenses were $3.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $13.7 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months.
Personnel costs were $4.2 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $8.3 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to placing three newly built U.S.-flag product tankers into service and the commencement of a time charter contract for one U.S.-flag offshore tug during February 2017.
Repairs and maintenance costs were $1.0 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $0.7 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the timing of major repairs for harbor towing equipment.
Drydocking costs were $1.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to higher drydocking activity for harbor tugs and short-sea transportation vessels.
Insurance and loss reserves were $0.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to placing three newly built U.S.-flag product tankers into service and higher claims activity for short-sea transportation.
Fuel, lubes and supplies costs were $1.2 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to costs associated with placing three newly built U.S.-flag product tankers into service and higher fuel costs for harbor tugs and short-sea transportation vessels.
Other expenses were $0.4 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $0.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to higher port charges for one newly built U.S.-flag product tanker while operating under a voyage charter contract and higher trucking and stevedoring costs for short-sea transportation.
Administrative and General . Administrative and general expenses were $0.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $0.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to higher compensation costs related to the accelerated vesting of share awards as a consequence of the Spin-off.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $5.3 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to placing three newly built U.S.-flag product tankers into service.

Other, net. During the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, the Company recognized a $1.0 million impairment charge related to one of its cost investments.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of 50% or Less Owned Companies, Net of Tax. The Company recognized equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, of $5.6 million in the Current Year Quarter and $6.7 million in the Current Six Months compared with equity in losses of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, of $1.6 million in the Prior Year Quarter and in the Prior Six Months primarily due to improved results from Trailer Bridge following its recapitalization during December 2016 and

27


the sale of an U.S.-flag dry-bulk articulated tug-barge by SeaJon during June 2017. These improvements were partially offset by gains from the sale for scrap of a U.S.-flag crude oil tanker by SEA-Access in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months and start-up costs incurred by Kotug, the Company’s bunkering operation in Freeport, Grand Bahama in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. In addition, the Company recognized interest income on notes due from Trailer Bridge (not a component of segment profit) of $0.2 million in the Current Year Quarter and $0.4 million in the Current Six Months compared with $2.6 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $5.0 million in the Prior Six Months.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months were higher primarily due to higher compensation costs related to the accelerated vesting of share awards as a consequence of the Spin-off.
Derivative gains (losses), net. Derivative gains and losses, net in the Current Year Quarter, Current Six Months, Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months primarily relate to changes in the fair value of the exchange option liability on SEACOR Marine’s convertible senior notes. Upon the Spin-off, the exchange option on subsidiary convertible senior notes was terminated as the notes became convertible only into the common stock of SEACOR Marine.

Interest Income. Interest income in the Current Year Quarter was lower compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower outstanding balances of notes receivables from 50% or less owned companies following the exchange of notes receivable from Trailer Bridge for equity during the fourth quarter of 2016.

29


Interest Expense. Interest expense in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months was higher compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months primarily due to higher interest expense on the SEA-Vista Credit Facility as well as lower capitalized interest partially offset by lower interest expense due to the repurchase of a portion of the Company’s 7.375% Senior Notes and 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes as described below.
Debt Extinguishment Gains (Losses), net. During the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, the Company repurchased $7.6 million in principal amount of its 7.375% Senior Notes for $7.7 million resulting in losses on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million and repurchased $48.4 million in principal amount of its 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes for total consideration of $48.6 million resulting in gains on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million . During the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, the Company repurchased $8.7 million and $22.6 million, respectively, in principal amount of its 7.375% Senior Notes for $8.4 million and $20.3 million, respectively, resulting in gains on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and repurchased $55.8 million and $76.0 million, respectively, in principal amount of its 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes for total consideration of $54.9 million and $73.8 million, respectively, resulting in gains on debt extinguishment of $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
Marketable Security Losses, net. The Company’s most significant marketable security position is its investment in 9,177,135 shares of Dorian LPG Ltd. (“Dorian”), a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “LPG.” Marketable security losses during the Current Year Quarter, Current Six Months, Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months are primarily related to unrealized losses related to the Company’s investment in Dorian.
Income Taxes
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company’s effective income tax rate of 1.7% was primarily due to taxes not provided on income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, capital commitments and its obligations to repay debt. The Company may use its liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for treasury, repurchase its outstanding notes or make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds and cash flows from operations. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.
The Company's capital commitments as of June 30, 2017 by year of expected payment were as follows (in thousands):

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In support of the Company’s capital expenditure program and debt service requirements, the Company believes that a combination of cash balances on hand, cash generated from operating activities, funding under existing subsidiary financing arrangements and access to the credit and capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations. The Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses and assets. The Company’s sources of liquidity may be impacted by the general condition of the markets in which it operates and the broader economy as a whole, which may limit its access to the credit and capital markets on acceptable terms. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Contingencies
On December 15, 2010, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in one of the several “master complaints” filed in the overall multi-district litigation relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico, which is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (the “MDL”). The “B3” master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally and the use of dispersants specifically. Both prior to and following the filing of the aforementioned master complaint, individual civil actions naming the Company, ORM, and/or NRC alleging B3 exposure-based injuries and/or damages were consolidated with the MDL and stayed pursuant to court order, discussed in turn below. The Company has continually taken the position that all of the B3 claims asserted against ORM and NRC have no merit. On February 16, 2016, all but eleven B3 claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed with prejudice, whether by joinder in the master complaint, individual complaint, or otherwise (the “B3 Dismissal Order”). On August 2, 2016, the Court granted an omnibus motion for summary judgment as it concerns ORM and NRC in its entirety, dismissing the remaining eleven plaintiffs’ against ORM and NRC with prejudice (the “Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order”).
As noted above, various civil actions concerning the Deepwater Horizon clean-up have been consolidated with the MDL, although a number of them have been dismissed or otherwise resolved. A summary of the remaining claims is as follows:
On October 3, 2012, ORM and NRC were served with a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint by Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C. and Jambon Marine Holdings L.L.C. in their Limitation of Liability action, in the Matter of Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C., et al. , No. 2:12-CV-00426 (E.D. La.) (the “ Jambon Action”). This Third-Party Complaint alleges that if claimant David Dinwiddie, who served as a clean-up crewmember aboard the M/V JAMBON SUPPLIER II vessel during the clean-up efforts, was injured as a result of his exposure to dispersants and chemicals during the course and scope of his employment, then said injuries were caused by the third-party defendants. The Jambon Action remains stayed.
On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al. , No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.) (the “ Fitzgerald Action”), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. While the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action’s claims against ORM and NRC were dismissed by virtue of the Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, the claim as against the Company remains stayed. Following a status conference with the Court on February 17, 2017, the Court issued several new pretrial orders in connection with the remaining claims in the MDL.
On July 18, 2017, the Court issued an order dismissing all remaining “B3” claims in the MDL with prejudice, with the exception of certain claims specifically listed on an exhibit annexed to the order (the “Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order”). Mr. Dinwiddie, the claimant at issue in the Jambon Action, was not listed in this exhibit to the Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order, and so this claim against ORM and NRC has been dismissed with prejudice. Nathan Fitzgerald, the decedent in the Fitzgerald Action, was listed, and so this claim against the Company remains pending. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters, to the extent they remain viable, but believes they are without merit and does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean’s own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”), Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., and M-I L.L.C. (“M-I”) also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief. The remainder of the aforementioned cross-claims in Transocean’s limitation action remain pending, although the Company believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters has been reduced as a result of the various developments in the MDL, including the B3 Dismissal Order and Remaining Eleven Plaintiffs’ Dismissal Order, and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 16, 2012, 668 individuals who served as beach clean-up workers in Escambia County, Florida during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court for the First Judicial Circuit of Florida, in and for Escambia County, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al. , No. 2012-CA-002947, in which they allege, among other things, that ORM and other defendants engaged in the contamination of Florida waters and beaches in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 376 and injured the Plaintiffs by exposing them to dispersants during the course and scope of their employment. This case was removed to federal court and ultimately consolidated with the MDL on April 2, 2013. On April 22, 2013, a companion case to this matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Abood et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al. , No. 3:13-CV-00284 (N.D. Fla.), which alleges identical allegations against the same parties but names an additional 174 Plaintiffs, all of whom served as clean-up workers in various Florida counties during the Deepwater Horizon oil

35


spill response. This case was consolidated with the MDL on May 10, 2013. By court order, both of these matters were then stayed since they were consolidated with the MDL. The names of only a very small percentage of the claimants in these two matters appear to be listed on the exhibit to the Master MDL B3 Dismissal Order. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the developments in the MDL, including the settlements discussed below, on these cases, but believes that the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters has been reduced as a result of these developments and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and BP America Production Company (“BP America”) (collectively “BP”) and the Plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, Plaintiffs’ economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP. Both settlements were granted final approval by the Court, all appeals have concluded, and the deadline for submitting claims with respect to both settlements has passed. Although neither the Company, ORM, nor NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed as released parties on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements. Consequently, class members who did not file timely requests for exclusion will be barred from pursuing economic loss, property damage, personal injury, medical monitoring, and/or other released claims against the Company, ORM, and NRC. The Company believes these settlements have reduced the potential exposure, if any, in connection with the various cases relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up and continues to evaluate the settlements’ impacts on these cases.
In the course of the Company’s business, it may agree to indemnify the counterparty to an agreement. If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement. Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Pursuant to the agreement governing the sale, the Company’s potential liability to the purchaser may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction. The Company is currently indemnified under contractual agreements with BP for the potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Six Months except for the impact of the Spin-off and the sale of the Company’s interest in ICP on July 3, 2017. The Company’s remaining exposure to market risk is limited to the foreign exchange risk associated with the operations and intercompany lease obligations held by a subsidiary of the Company whose functional currency is the Colombian peso, marketable securities held by the Company and outstanding variable rate debt.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the

36


Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2017 . Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017 solely as a result of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described in Management’s Annual Report included in its Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management and the board of directors are deeply committed to maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and have no higher priority than the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. Management and the board of directors are equally focused on ensuring that material weaknesses identified in the past and referenced in these notes will be remediated promptly and effectively. Management is currently developing a remediation plan that it expects to implement during the third quarter, which will include an improved approval process of manual journal entries, limiting access to the Company’s information technology system, and enhanced review and documentation controls relating to estimates of fair value and related impairment assessments. Once in place and implemented the Company will monitor the effectiveness of the steps taken to ensure they are adequately addressing the identified weaknesses. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls have been fully implemented and have operated for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements as included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
