NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
—Layne Christensen Company (together with its subsidiaries “Layne,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a global water management, construction and drilling company. We primarily operate in North America and South America. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, we implemented a plan to exit our operations in Africa and Australia. Our customers include government agencies, investor-owned water utilities, industrial companies, global mining companies, consulting and engineering firms, heavy civil construction contractors, oil and gas companies and agribusinesses. We have an ownership interest in certain foreign affiliates operating in Latin America.
Fiscal Year
– Our fiscal year end is January 31. References to fiscal years (in the form of “FY2017,” etc.) are to the twelve months ended on January 31 of that year.
Investment in Affiliated Companies
– Investments in affiliates in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not hold a controlling interest over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate there is a loss in value of the investment that is other than a temporary decline. During the three months ended October 31, 2016, with the extended downturn in the minerals market due to lower commodity prices for the past few years, we extended our review of our equity method investments for impairment. Based on such analysis, no indication of impairment existed as of October 31, 2016.
Principles of Consolidation
– The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of all of our subsidiaries where we exercise control. For investments in subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, but where we exercise control, the equity held by the minority owners and their portions of net income (loss) are reflected as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation—
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 (“Annual Report”). We believe the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Beginning with the first quarter of FY2017, we are excluding nonvested restricted stock units (“RSU”) from the total shares issued and outstanding in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, since no shares are actually issued until the shares have vested and are no longer restricted. Once the restriction lapses on RSUs, the units are converted to unrestricted shares of our common stock and the par value of the stock is reclassified from additional paid-in-capital to common stock. RSU shares in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with this presentation.
As discussed further in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during the third quarter of FY2016, we completed the sale of our Geoconstruction business segment. The results of operations related to the Geoconstruction business segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to continuing operations.
Business Segments –
We report our financial results under four reporting segments consisting of Water Resources, Inliner, Heavy Civil and Mineral Services.
In the first quarter of FY2017, changes were made for certain of our smaller operations to reflect changes in organizational accountabilities as part of our strategy to simplify our business and streamline our operating and reporting structure. Our Collector Wells group was shifted from Heavy Civil to Water Resources to better align their operational expertise. We also shifted certain other smaller operations out of our “Other” segment and into our four reporting segments, and are no longer reporting the “Other” segment. Information for prior periods has been recast to conform to our new presentation.
8
We also report corporate activities under the title “Unallocated Corporate.” Unallocated corporate expenses primarily consist of general and administrative functions performed on a company-wide basis and benefiting all
segments. These costs include accounting, financial reporting, internal audit, treasury, legal, tax compliance, executive management and board of directors. Corporate assets include all assets not directly associated with a segment, and consist primarily o
f cash and deferred income taxes.
Use of and Changes in Estimates
– The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty, and accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
– In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. The net foreign currency exchange differences resulting from these translations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses are translated at average foreign currency exchange rates during the reporting period.
The cash flows and financing activities of our operations in Mexico are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, these operations use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at period end foreign currency exchange rates and nonmonetary items are measured at historical foreign currency exchange rates with exchange rate differences reported in the statement of operations.
Net foreign currency transaction losses were $(0.1) million and $(0.2) million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, respectively, and less than $(0.1) million and $(0.1) million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, respectively, and are recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
—
Revenues are recognized on large, long-term construction contracts meeting the criteria of ASC Topic 605-35 “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” (“ASC Topic 605-35”), using the percentage-of-completion method based upon the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. The nature of accounting for construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method is such that refinements of the estimating process for changing conditions and new developments may occur and are characteristic of the process. Many factors can and do change during a contract performance period which can result in a change to contract profitability including differing site conditions (to the extent that contract remedies are unavailable), the availability of skilled contract labor, the performance of major material suppliers, the performance of major subcontractors, unusual weather conditions and unexpected changes in material costs. These factors may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions become known. When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss, the entire loss is recorded during the accounting period in which the facts that caused the revision become known. Management evaluates the performance of contracts on an individual basis. In the ordinary course of business, but at least quarterly, we prepare updated estimates of cost and profit or loss for each contract. The cumulative effect of revisions in estimates of the total forecasted revenue and costs, including unapproved change orders and claims, during the course of the contract is reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that caused the revision become known. Large changes in cost estimates on larger, more complex construction projects can have a material impact on our financial statements and are reflected in results of operations when they become known.
We record revenue on contracts relating to unapproved change orders and claims by including in revenue an amount less than or equal to the amount of the costs incurred by us to date for contract price adjustments that we seek to collect from customers for delays, errors in specifications or designs, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to scope or price, or other unanticipated additional costs, in each case when recovery of the costs is considered probable. The amount of unapproved change orders and claims revenues are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. When determining the likelihood of eventual recovery, we consider such factors as our experience on similar projects and our experience with the customer. As new facts become known, an adjustment to the estimated recovery is made and reflected in the current period.
9
As allowed by ASC Topic 605-35, revenue is recognized on smaller, short-term construction contracts using the completed contract method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted construction contracts are made in the period
in which such losses become known. We determine when short-term construction contracts are completed based on acceptance by the customer.
Revenues for drilling contracts within Mineral Services are recognized in terms of the value of total work performed to date on the basis of actual footage or meterage drilled.
Revenues for direct sales of equipment and other ancillary products not provided in conjunction with the performance of construction contracts are recognized at the date of delivery to, and acceptance by, the customer. Provisions for estimated warranty obligations are made in the period in which the sales occur.
Our revenues are presented net of taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions with our customers, such as, but not limited to, sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes.
Inventories—
We value inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost of U.S. inventories and the majority of foreign operations are determined using the average cost method, which approximates FIFO. Inventories consist primarily of supplies and raw materials. Supplies of $19.5 million and $16.8 million and raw materials of $2.2 million and $2.7 million were included in inventories in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively.
Goodwill
—In accordance with ASC Topic 350-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” we are required to test for the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis. We conduct this evaluation annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. We believe at this time that the carrying value of the remaining goodwill is appropriate, although to the extent additional information arises or our strategies change, it is possible that our conclusions regarding impairment of the remaining goodwill could change and result in a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. As of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, we had $8.9 million of goodwill, included as part of Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The goodwill is all attributable to the Inliner reporting segment.
Other Long-lived Assets
—Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include but are not limited to the following:
|
•
|
significant underperformance of assets;
|
|
•
|
significant changes in the use of the assets; and
|
|
•
|
significant negative industry or economic trends.
|
During the three months ended October 31, 2016, due to the extended downturn in the minerals market, and decreased activity levels for Heavy Civil compared to prior year, we reviewed the recoverability of the asset values of our long-lived assets in the Heavy Civil and Mineral Services segments. No impairments were indicated by such analyses as of October 31, 2016.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
—We consider investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are subject to potential credit risk. Our cash management and investment policies restrict investments to investment grade, highly liquid securities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Restricted Deposits
– Restricted deposits consist of amounts associated with certain letters of credit for on-going projects, escrow funds related to a certain disposition, and judicial deposits associated with tax related legal proceedings in Brazil. Restricted deposits – current of $1.5 million and $3.5 million as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively, are included in Other Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted deposits – long term of $5.0 million and $4.3 million as of October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively, are included in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable—
We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of our accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the allowance, we make judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, and also consider a review of accounts receivable aging, industry trends, customer financial strength, credit standing and payment history to assess the probability of collection.
Concentration of Credit Risk
—We grant credit to our customers, which may include concentrations in state and local governments or other customers. Although this concentration could affect our overall exposure to credit risk, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified, thus spreading the credit risk. To manage this risk, we perform periodic credit
10
evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, including monitoring our custo
mers’ payment history and current credit worthiness. We do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables, but may require payment in advance or security in the form of a letter of credit or bank guarantee.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
—The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, customer receivables and accounts payable, approximate fair value at October 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, because of the relatively short maturity of those instruments. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for other fair value disclosures.
Litigation and Other Contingencies
—We are involved in litigation incidental to our business, the disposition of which is not expected to have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, some of our contracts contain provisions that require payment of liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. In many cases in which we have historically had potential exposure for liquidated damages, such damages ultimately were not asserted by our customers. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions related to these proceedings. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, is disclosed. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
Equity-based Compensation—
We recognize the cost of all equity-based instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using a fair-value measurement of the associated costs. The fair value of service-based equity-based compensation granted in the form of stock options is determined using a lattice valuation model and for certain market-based awards the fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Unearned compensation expense associated with the issuance of nonvested shares is amortized on a straight-line basis as the restrictions on the shares expire, subject to achievement of certain contingencies.
Income (loss) Per Share
—Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which we recognize losses, the calculation of diluted loss per share is the same as the calculation of basic loss per share. For periods in which we recognize net income, diluted earnings per common share is computed in the same way as basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued that were dilutive. Options to purchase common stock and nonvested shares are included based on the treasury stock method for dilutive earnings per share, except when their effect is antidilutive. The 4.25% Convertible Notes and the 8.0% Convertible Notes (see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share if their inclusion is dilutive under the if-converted method. Options to purchase 0.8 million shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, as their effect was antidilutive. A total of 1.9 million nonvested shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, as their effect was antidilutive. Options to purchase a total 0.9 million shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, as their effect was antidilutive. A total of 1.4 million nonvested shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, as their effect was antidilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements—
In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash,” which provides guidance about the presentation of changes in restricted cash and restri
cted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for us beginning on February 1, 2018 and will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption
of this ASU will have on our financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation: Interest Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control,” which amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that variable interest entity. This ASU is effective for us beginning on February 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on our financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which removes the prohibition against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This guidance is effective for us beginning on February 1, 2018 and will be applied using a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on our financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU provides guidance and clarification in regards to the classification of eight types of receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, including debt repayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investees and cash receipts from beneficial interest in securitization transactions. The guidance is effective for us beginning on February 1, 2018 and will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on our financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on February 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU and do not believe the effect will be material on our financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods,
and early adoption is permitted
. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU and do not believe the effect will be material on our financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments,” to clarify the steps required to assess whether a call or put option meets the criteria for bifurcation as an embedded derivative. ASU 2016-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU and do not believe the effect will be material on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” which establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of this ASU and do not believe the effect will be material on our financial statements.
On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued
ASU
2015-11, “Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to inventory measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. The guidance in this update states that inventory within scope shall be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and when the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings. The new standard is effective for us beginning on February 1, 2017 and will be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of ASU 2015-11 and do not believe the effect will be material on our financial statements.
12
On February 18, 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation: Amendments to t
he Consolidation Analysis.” This guidance which is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP for limited partnerships and o
ther variable interest entities (“VIE”). The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” on May 28, 2014. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. This guidance defines the steps to recognize revenue for entities that have contracts with customers as well as requiring significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from such contracts. This guidance provides companies with a choice of applying it retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying it at the date of initial application (February 1, 2018 in our case) and not adjusting comparative information. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amend certain aspects of the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09. At this point, we are currently evaluating the requirements and impact the provisions of the standard will have on our financial statements.

On March 2, 2015, we exchanged approximately $55.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Convertible Notes for approximately $49.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.0% Convertible Notes. In accordance with the derecognition guidance for convertible instruments in an exchange transaction under ASC Topic 470-20, the fair value of the 8.0% Convertible Notes (“the exchange consideration”) and the transaction costs incurred were allocated between the liability and equity components of the 4.25% Convertible Notes. Of the $49.9 million exchange consideration, $42.1 million, which represented the fair value of the 4.25% Convertible Notes immediately prior to its derecognition, was allocated to the extinguishment of the liability component. Transaction costs of $0.9 million were also allocated to the liability component. As a result, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million during the first quarter of FY2016. The remaining $7.8 million of the exchange consideration and $0.2 million of transaction costs were allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component and recognized as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.

5. Income Taxes
Income tax benefit (expense) for continuing operations of $(1.4) million and $(1.8) million were recorded in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, compared to $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the same periods last year. We recorded no tax benefit on domestic deferred tax assets and certain foreign deferred tax assets generated during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015. The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 were (36.6%) and (10.5%), compared to 12.2% and 8.2% for the same periods last year. The difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory tax rates resulted primarily from valuation allowances recorded during the respective periods on current year losses.
After valuation allowances, we maintain no domestic net deferred tax assets and $0.2 million of deferred tax assets from various foreign jurisdictions where management believes that realization is more likely than not. In order for our foreign subsidiaries to fully realize the deferred tax asset, they will need to generate taxable income totaling $0.6 million in relation to where the deferred tax assets are recorded. We will continue to evaluate all of the evidence in future quarters and will make a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods. The establishment of a valuation allowance does not have any impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude us from using our loss carryforwards or utilizing other deferred tax assets in the future.
As of October 31, 2016, and January 31, 2016, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded was $10.2 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of which substantially all would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease during the next twelve months by approximately $3.5 million due to settlements of audit issues. We classify uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid within one year. We
14
report income tax-related interest and penaltie
s as a component of income tax expense. As of October 31, 2016, and January 31, 2016, the total amount of liability for income tax-related interest and penalties was $8.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
6. Fair Value Measurements
Our estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in the valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are listed below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Our financial instruments held at fair value are presented below as of October 31, 2016, and January 31, 2016:

As discussed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the contingent consideration receivable represents our share in the profits of one of the contracts assumed by the purchaser, as part of the sale of the Geoconstruction business on August 17, 2015. The amount was estimated based on the projected profits of the contract. There have been no changes in the estimated fair value since the closing date of the sale agreement.
|
Other Financial Instruments
We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments:
Cash – The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash approximate their fair values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term and long-term debt, other than the Convertible Notes – The fair value of debt instruments is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and is valued using a market approach based on quoted prices for similar instruments traded in active markets. Where quoted prices are not available, the income approach is used to value these instruments based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms.
Convertible Notes
–
The Convertible Notes are measured using Level 1 inputs based upon observable quoted prices of the 4.25% Convertible Notes and the 8.0% Convertible Notes.

7. Equity-Based Compensation
We have equity-based compensation plans for Directors and certain employees that provide for the granting of options to purchase or the issuance of shares of common stock at a price fixed by the Board of Directors. As of October 31, 2016, there were 347,898 shares available to be granted under the plans. We have the ability to issue shares under the plans either from new issuances or from treasury, although we have previously issued new shares and expect to continue to issue new shares in the future. We granted 13,495 shares of restricted stock, 199,352 restricted stock units and 447,903 performance vesting restricted stock units under the Layne Christensen Company 2006 Equity Incentive Plan during the nine months ended October 31, 2016. The grants consist of both service-based awards and market-based awards. We also granted a total of 134,333 stock options during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 under the Layne Christensen Company 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
We recognized compensation cost for equity-based compensation arrangements of $0.7 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, respectively, and $0.8 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized for equity-based compensation arrangements were $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015, respectively. As of October 31, 2016, no tax benefit is expected to be realized for equity-based compensation arrangements due to a full valuation allowance of our domestic deferred tax assets.
As of October 31, 2016, there was approximately $4.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. As of October 31, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was approximately $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the difference between the current market price and the exercise price for only those options that have an exercise price less than the current market price.
The fair value of equity-based compensation granted in the form of stock options is determined using a lattice valuation model. The valuations were made using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the stock price. We use historical data to estimate early exercise and post-vesting forfeiture rates to be applied within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average fair value per share at the date of grant for options granted during the nine months ended October 31, 2016 was $1.59.

Nonvested stock awards having service requirements only, are valued as of the grant date closing stock price and generally vest ratably over service periods of one to five years. Other nonvested stock awards vest based upon Layne meeting various performance goals. Certain nonvested stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control (as defined in the plans) or the disability or the death of the executive and for equitable adjustment in the event of changes in our equity structure. We granted certain performance based nonvested stock awards during the nine months ended October 31, 2016, which were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 were as follows:

9. Operating Segments
We are a global solutions provider to the world of essential natural resources – water, minerals and energy. Management defines our operational organizational structure into discrete segments based on our primary product lines.
In the first quarter of FY2017, changes were made for certain of our smaller operations to reflect changes in organizational accountabilities as part of our strategy to simplify our business and streamline our operating and reporting structure. Our Collector Wells group was shifted from Heavy Civil to Water Resources to better align their operational expertise. We also shifted certain other smaller operations out of our “Other” segment and into our four reporting segments, and are no longer reporting the “Other” segment. We believe these changes better reflect how the business is managed and performance is evaluated. Information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to our new presentation.
We manage and report our operations through four segments: Water Resources, Inliner, Heavy Civil, and Mineral Services.
18
Our segments are defined as follows:
Water Resources
Water Resources provides its customers with an array of water management solutions, including discovery and defining of water sources through hydrologic studies, water supply development through water well drilling and intake construction, and water delivery through pipeline and pumping infrastructure. Water Resources also brings technologies to the water and wastewater markets and offers water treatment equipment engineering services, providing systems for the treatment of regulated and nuisance contaminants, specifically, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, radium, nitrate, perchlorate, and volatile organic compounds. Water Resources drills deep injection wells for industrial (primarily power) and municipal clients that need to dispose of wastewater associated with their processes. Water Resources also performs complete diagnostic and rehabilitation services for existing wells, pumps and related equipment, including conducting downhole closed circuit televideo inspections to investigate and resolve water well and pump performance problems. In addition, Water Resources
constructs radial collector wells through its Ranney® Collector Wells technology, which is an alternative to conventional vertical wells and can be utilized to develop moderate to very high capacities of groundwater.
Water Resources provides water systems and services in most regions of the U.S.
Inliner
Inliner provides a wide range of process, sanitary and storm water rehabilitation solutions to municipalities and industrial customers dealing with aging infrastructure needs. Inliner focuses on its proprietary Inliner
®
cured-in-place pipe (“CIPP”) which allows it to rehabilitate aging sanitary sewer, storm water and process water infrastructure to provide structural rebuilding as well as infiltration and inflow reduction. Inliner’s trenchless technology minimizes environmental impact and reduces or eliminates surface and social disruption. Inliner has the ability to supply both traditional felt-based CIPP lining tubes cured with water or steam as well as a fiberglass-based lining tubes cured with ultraviolet light. Inliner holds the North American rights to the Inliner
CIPP technology, owns and operates the liner manufacturer, as well as installation of Inliner CIPP product. While Inliner focuses on our proprietary Inliner CIPP, it provides full system renewal, including a wide variety of other rehabilitative methods including Janssen structural renewal for service lateral connections and mainlines, slip lining, traditional excavation and replacement, and form and manhole renewal with cementitious and epoxy products. Inliner provides services in most regions of the U.S.
Heavy Civil
Heavy Civil performs design and build services of water and wastewater treatment plants, as well as pipeline installation, to government agencies and industrial clients. In addition, Heavy Civil builds surface water intakes, pumping stations, hard rock tunnels and marine construction services-all in support of the water infrastructure in the U.S. Beyond water solutions, Heavy Civil also designs and constructs biogas facilities (anaerobic digesters) for the purpose of generating and capturing methane gas, an emerging renewable energy resource. Heavy Civil provides services in most regions of the U.S.
Mineral Services
Mineral Services conducts primarily above ground drilling activities, including all phases of core drilling, reverse circulation, dual tube, hammer and rotary air-blast methods. Our service offerings include both exploratory and definitional drilling. Global mining companies engage Mineral Services to extract samples from sites that the mining companies analyze for mineral content before investing heavily in development to extract the minerals. Mineral Services helps its clients determine if minable mineral deposit is on the site, the economic viability of the mining site and the geological properties of the ground, which helps in the determination of mine planning. Mineral Services also offers its customers water management and soil stabilization expertise. Mine water management consists of vertical, large diameter wells for sourcing and dewatering; and horizontal drains for slope de-pressurization. The primary markets are in the western U.S., Mexico, and South America. As discussed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during FY 2016, we implemented a plan to exit our operations in Africa and Australia. Mineral Services also has ownership interests in foreign affiliates operating in Latin America that form its primary presence in Chile and Peru.
Financial information for our segments is presented below. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily consist of general and administrative functions performed on a company-wide basis and benefiting all segments. These costs include expenses related to accounting, financial reporting, internal audit, treasury, legal, tax compliance, executive management and board of directors.
Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents income or loss from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation, equity in earnings or losses from affiliates, certain non-recurring items such as impairment charges, restructuring costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, and certain other gains or losses, plus dividends received from affiliates. Refer to further discussion on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
included in Part I, Item 2 in this Form 10-Q.

10. Discontinued Operations
On August 17, 2015, we completed the sale of the Geoconstruction business segment to a subsidiary of Keller Foundations, LLC, a member of Keller Group plc (“Keller”), for a total purchase price of $47.7 million. As of October 31, 2016, we have approximately $1.5 million held in an escrow account, which is included in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, to be paid to us at a later date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, as of October 31, 2016, we have $4.2 million of contingent consideration receivable, included in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contingent consideration represents our best estimate of our share in the profits of one of the contracts assumed by Keller.
The results of operations associated with the Geoconstruction business segment for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:

11. Contingencies
Our drilling activities involve certain operating hazards that can result in personal injury or loss of life, damage and destruction of property and equipment, damage to the surrounding areas, release of hazardous substances or wastes and other damage to the environment, interruption or suspension of drill site operations and loss of revenues and future business. The magnitude of these operating risks is amplified when we, as is frequently the case, conduct a project on a fixed-price, bundled basis where we delegate certain functions to subcontractors but remain responsible to the customer for the subcontracted work. In addition, we are exposed to potential liability under foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations, contractual indemnification agreements or otherwise in connection with our services and products. Litigation arising from any such occurrences may result in Layne being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims. Although we maintain insurance protection that we consider economically prudent, there can be no assurance that any such insurance will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances or against all claims or hazards to which we may be subject or that we will be able to continue to obtain such insurance protection. A successful claim or damage resulting from a hazard for which we are not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we do not maintain political risk insurance with respect to our foreign operations.
Layne through one of our discontinued segments, Geoconstruction, was a subcontractor on the foundation for an office building in California in 2013 and 2014. Geoconstruction's work on the project was completed in September 2014. Certain anomalies were subsequently discovered in the structural concrete, which were remediated by the general contractor during 2015. We have participated in discussions with the owner and the general contractor for the project regarding potential causes for the anomalies. During FY 2016, the owner, the general contractor and Layne submitted a claim to the project’s insurers to cover the cost of remedial work, which claim was denied on November 2, 2016. The owner and the general contractor have filed a legal proceeding against the insurers seeking coverage under the insurance policy. Management does not believe that we are liable for any of the remediation costs related to this project. As of the date of this report, no action has been filed against us. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
As previously disclosed, on October 27, 2014, we entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under the terms of the settlement, among other things, we agreed to undertake certain compliance, reporting and cooperation obligations to the SEC for two years following the settlement date. On November 9, 2016, we made our final report to the SEC and have no further reporting obligations to the SEC under the settlement.
We are involved in various other matters of litigation, claims and disputes which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not, individually and in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect upon our business or consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the assumptions related to these proceedings. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. To the extent additional information arises or the strategies change, it is possible that our estimate of the probable liability in these matters may change.
12. Restructuring Costs
During the second quarter of FY 2017, we continued our efforts to reduce our cost structure and streamline our operations, by initiating a plan to reduce costs and improve our profitability in our Water Resources segment (“Water Resources Business Performance Initiative”). The Water Resources Business Performance Initiative involves cost rationalization, increased standardization of functions such as sales, pricing and estimation, disposal of underutilized assets, and process improvements to drive efficiencies. We recorded approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million in restructuring costs related to the Water Resources Business
24
Performance Initiative for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, respectively. We estimate remaining amounts to be incur
red for the Water Resources Business Performance Initiative of approximately $0.6 million.
During FY 2016, we took steps to move towards a more focused strategy to simplify our business and build upon our capabilities in water (“FY2016 Restructuring Plan”). In response to these steps, and due to the continuing decline in the global minerals market, we implemented a plan to exit our operations in Africa and Australia. The FY2016 Restructuring Plan is expected to be completed by the end of FY2017. In FY 2017, we have incurred costs supporting this strategic focus, recognizing less than $0.1 million and $0.9 million of restructuring expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016, respectively. The FY2016 Restructuring Plan for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 related to the segments as follows: $0.1 million in Inliner, $0.4 million in Heavy Civil, $0.2 million in Mineral Services, and $0.2 million in Unallocated Corporate Expenses. Total costs incurred from inception to October 31, 2016 for the FY2016 Restructuring Plan amounts to $17.1 million. We estimate remaining amounts to be incurred for the FY2016 Restructuring Plan of approximately $0.1 million.
