EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (the “Amendment”) amends SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2018 (the “Original Form 10-K”).  The Company is filing this Amendment to amend Item 15 to include the consolidated financial statements of its foreign equity investee, Mantenimiento Express Maritimo, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MexMar”), as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 (the “MexMar Financial Statements”) in accordance with Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X ("Rule 3-09").  MexMar was significant under the income test of Rule 3-09 for the year ended December 31, 2015 but not for any year thereafter. As a result, under Rule 3-09, the Company has included in this Amendment audited financial statements for 2015 and unaudited financial statements for 2016 and 2017. The MexMar Financial Statements, which were prepared by MexMar, were audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).


The Amendment does not modify or update in any way (i) the consolidated financial position, the results of operations or cash flows of SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. or (ii) the disclosures or other information in the Original Form 10-K; nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K.  Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc.’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2017 (not covered by the auditor's report), December 31, 2016 (not covered by the auditor's report), and December 31, 2015 (covered by the auditor's report).





|   |                                             
|-- | --------------------------------------------
|1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations. Mantenimiento Express Maritimo S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MexMar” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 12, 2003 in Mexico City.  The Company operates a diverse fleet of offshore support vessels primarily servicing offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development and production facilities in the Republic of Mexico.  These vessels deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations, handle anchors and mooring equipment required to tether rigs to the seabed; tow rigs and assist in placing them on location and moving them between regions; and carry and launch equipment such as remote operated vehicles or “ROVs” used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance and repair.


The Company is reliant upon its primary customer, Petroleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”), an oil company owned by the United Mexican States.  During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, $63.8 million, $69.8 million and $77.8 million, respectively, of the Company’s operating revenues were derived from services provided to Pemex.  The loss of Pemex as a customer or a decline in services provided to Pemex could have a material adverse effect on MexMar’s results of operations.


Related Parties. The Company’s common stock is held by two shareholders.  Proyectos Globales de Energia y Servicios CME, S.A. de C.V. through two wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Proyectos”) owns 51% and SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. through an indirectly owned subsidiary (along with its other majority-owned subsidiaries collectively referred to as “SEACOR Marine”) owns 49%.


Basis of Presentation. T h e accompanying financial statements are expressed in U.S dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).


Basis of Consolidation . T he Company consolidates entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest. For voting interest entities, the Company is considered to hold a controlling financial interest when it is able to exercise control over the investees’ operating and financial decisions. For variable interest entities (VIEs), the determination of which is based on the amount and characteristics of the entity’s equity, the Company is considered to hold a controlling financial interest when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is the party that has both: (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact that VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.


Entities in which the Company’s voting interest in common equity does not provide it with control, but allows the Company to exert significant influence over the operating and financial decisions, are accounted for under the equity method.  All other investments in equity securities, to the extent they are not considered marketable securities, are accounted for under the cost method.


Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Such estimates include those related to deferred revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, impairments, income tax provisions, and certain accrued liabilities.  Actual results could differ from estimates and those differences may be material.


Subsequent Events. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through April, 11 2018, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued (see Note 12).


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 is met.  As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company has no deferred revenue.


The Company earns and recognizes revenues primarily from the time charter of vessels to customers based upon daily rates of hire.  Under a time charter, the Company provides a vessel to a customer and is responsible for all operating expenses, typically excluding fuel.  Vessel charters may range from several days to several years.  Revenues from time charters are recognized as services are provided. In Mexico, time charter durations and rates are typically established in the context service agreements.


Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents primarily consist of overnight investments.





7


---







Restricted cash.  The Company’s restricted cash balances were established in conjunction with the DVB Credit Facility (see Note 4).  Restricted cash is used to repay outstanding balances under the DVB Credit Facility and to provide for scheduled drydocking expenses for the Company’s offshore support vessels.


Trade and Other Receivables. Pemex and any other trade customers are granted credit on a short-term basis and related credit risks are considered minimal.  Other receivables consist primarily of insurance and other miscellaneous receivables.  The Company routinely reviews its receivables and makes provisions for probable doubtful accounts; however, those provisions are estimates and actual results could differ from estimates and those differences may be material.  Trade receivables are deemed uncollectible and removed from accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been exhausted.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.7 million, (2016 - nil).


Derivative Instruments. The Company accounts for derivatives through the use of a fair value concept whereby all of the Company’s derivative positions are stated at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in the accompanying statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income to the extent they are effective and reclassified into earnings on the same line item associated with the hedged transaction and in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings.


Concentrations of Credit Risk. The Company is exposed to concentrations of credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative instruments.  The Company minimizes its credit risk relating to these positions by monitoring the financial condition of the financial institutions and counterparties involved and by primarily conducting business with large, well-established financial institutions and diversifying its counterparties.  The Company does not currently anticipate nonperformance by any of its significant counterparties.  The Company is also exposed to concentrations of credit risk relating to its receivables due from customers described above, primarily Pemex.  The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support its outstanding receivables.  The Company minimizes its credit risk relating to receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, to date, credit losses have not been material.


Inventories. Inventories, which consist of fuel on its offshore support vessels are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market.  The Company records write-downs, as needed, to adjust the carrying amount of inventories to the lower of cost or market.  There were no inventory write-downs during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.


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 offshore support vessels, the estimated useful life is typically based upon a newly built vessel being placed into service and represents the point at which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the vessel in the same or similar manner.  From time to time, the Company may acquire older vessels that have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such vessels based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next regulatory survey or certification date.


As of December 31, 2017, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:

Equipment maintenance and repair costs and 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 vessels, as well as major renewals and improvements to other properties, are capitalized.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, 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 value of the assets is not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to fair value, if lower.  Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate.  During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not identify indicators of impairment nor recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets held for use.


Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method and is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of income.


Self-insurance Liabilities. The Company maintains marine hull, liability and war risk, general liability and other insurance customary in the industry in which it operates.  Both the marine hull and liability policies have per incident deductibles.  Certain insurance coverage is obtained through SEACOR Marine's sponsored programs.  The Company’s insurance premiums for these policies could differ if it were not part of SEACOR Marine's sponsored programs.  To the extent that estimated self-insurance losses differ from actual losses realized, the Company’s insurance reserves could differ significantly and may result in either higher or lower insurance expense in future periods.


Income Taxes .  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been provided in recognition of the income tax effect attributable to the book and tax basis differences of assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying financial statements.  Deferred tax assets or liabilities are provided using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which they are expected to be settled or realized.  The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated in accordance with Mexican tax regulations and denominated in Mexican pesos reflecting the jurisdiction in which the taxes will be settled.  Gains and losses on the translation of deferred tax assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are included in deferred income tax expense in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income.  Interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions are recognized in interest expense and administrative and general, respectively, in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to challenges from tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due for the Company.  These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions.  As part of the calculation of income tax expense, the Company determines whether the benefits of its tax positions are at least more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the tax position.  For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained, the Company accrues the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained.  Such accruals require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of its tax benefits and actual results could vary materially from these estimates.


Foreign Currency Transactions. The Company enters into transactions denominated in currencies other than its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.  Gains and losses resulting from changes in currency exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated are included in foreign currency gains (losses), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the period in which the currency exchange rates change.


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 Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company has determined that adopting the new accounting standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any of its revenue streams.


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 Company will adopt the new standard on

January 1, 2019 and will use the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. The Company expects the adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and 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. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and 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. Early adoption is permitted.


On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and does not expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standard which clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The new guidance also conforms the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets with the model in the new revenue standard.  The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 and does not expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7.     SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY


The Company’s shareholders’ equity consists of two classes of common stock; Series “A” Class I and Series “B” Class II.  As of December 31, 2017, 5,100 shares of Series “A” Class I shares are held by Proyectos and 4,900 shares of Series “B” Class II are held by SEACOR Marine.  The are no differences in the rights and ownership of the Series “A” Class I and Series “B” Class II shares other than Series “B” Class II reflecting ownership in the Company by a foreign person.


The net income for each period is subject to a Mexican legal provision requiring at least 5% of the net income for each period to be maintained as retained earnings until an amount equal to 20% of the common stock has been reserved.


The income tax law (the “Law”) sets a tax of 10% on the net income earned in 2014 and subsequent years and paid to foreign residents and Mexican citizens.  For income earned in years prior to 2014, net income is taxed based on the income tax law in effect at the time.  Dividends paid are not subject to income tax if they are paid from accumulated net profits generated prior to 2014.  Any dividends paid in excess of these accumulated net profits are subject to a tax rate of up to 42.896% in certain circumstances.  The current tax is payable by the Company and may be credited against the Company’s income in the period paid or the following two years.  Dividends paid from net income previously taxed are not subject to tax withholding or additional tax payment. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company made no dividend payments to its shareholders.





8.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING STRATEGIES

Cash Flow Hedges. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had five interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2023 that call for it to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 1.71% to 2.10% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $110.8 million and $105.5 million, respectively, and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value.





9.    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 the 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. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was estimated by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements.  It was not practicable to estimate the fair values of the Company’s advances from SEACOR Marine and Proyectos because the timing of settlement of these instruments is not certain and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.  The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.





10.    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS


During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into a back-to-back time charter with SEACOR Marine for a liftboat project in Mexico. The agreement calls for the Company to charter the vessel to a third party and to charter-in the vessel from SEACOR Marine at a discounted rate equivalent to a management fee. All operational costs are re-billed to SEACOR Marine and the Company has no operational nor financial risk related to this project.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s net revenue from this project was $0.1million.


For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company charted four other vessels from SEACOR Marine for $5.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively.  One of the charters was terminated in May 2016, and three were terminated in August 2016.


During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased two supply vessels from SEACOR Marine for $34.0 million (see Notes 3 and 4).

The Company also pays management fees to Proyectos primarily for administrative management, contract support and for use of certain office space and technology infrastructure.  The management fees are fixed at $0.5 million per annum and are included in Proyectos management fees in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income.


From time to time, SEACOR Marine, in conjunction with providing technical and commercial support, procures certain equipment and services related to the Company’s offshore support vessels on behalf of and at the direction of the Company.  Certain of the equipment and services may be paid for directly by SEACOR Marine and reimbursed by the Company.





11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company is committed to upgrade four platform supply vessels to a hybrid power storage system. The total commitment amount is for $6.8 million, of which $0.3 million has been paid as of December 31, 2017.  The remaining commitments for the upgrades are scheduled to be paid in 2018.


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 may use estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and record 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 that such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, its results of operations or cash flows.





12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company received $2.0 million from insurance claims.
