Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS

Organization

As of June 30, 2017, Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Lindblad”) operated a fleet of six owned expedition ships and five seasonal charter vessels under the Lindblad brand. A new coastal vessel, the National Geographic Quest, joined the fleet in the third quarter of 2017 and the Company has contracted for another coastal vessel, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018.

Lindblad’s mission is to offer life-changing adventures on all seven continents and to pioneer innovative ways to allow its guests to connect with exotic and remote places. The Company’s expedition ships are customized, nimble and intimately-scaled vessels that are able to venture where larger cruise ships cannot, thus allowing Lindblad to offer up-close experiences in the planet’s wild and remote places and capitals of culture. Many of these expeditions involve travel to remote places with limited infrastructure and ports (such as Antarctica and the Arctic) or places that are best accessed by a ship (such as the Galápagos, Alaska, Baja’s Sea of Cortez, Costa Rica, and Panama), and foster active engagement by guests. Each expedition ship is designed to be comfortable and inviting, while being fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for in-depth exploration. The Company has an alliance with the National Geographic Society (“National Geographic”), which often provides lecturers and National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers, and film crews. The arrangement with National Geographic extends through 2025.

Natural Habitat Acquisition

On May 4, 2016, the Company acquired an 80.1% ownership interest in Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”), an adventure travel and ecotourism company based in Colorado. Natural Habitat was founded by Benjamin L. Bressler, who retains a 19.9% noncontrolling interest in Natural Habitat. With the acquisition of Natural Habitat, the Company expanded its itineraries to include land- based offerings around the globe. Natural Habitat’s expeditions include polar bear tours in Churchill, Canada, Alaskan grizzly bear adventures, small-group Galápagos tours and African safaris. In addition to its land offerings, Natural Habitat offers select itineraries on seven small chartered vessels for parts of the year. Natural Habitat has partnered with World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”) to offer conservation and sustainable travel that directly protects nature. This agreement with WWF extends through 2023.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding unaudited interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Stockholders’ Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 classification. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and also affect the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates. Management utilizes various estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the fair value of the Company’s common stock and related warrants, the valuation of securities underlying stock-based compensation, income tax expense, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the value of contingent consideration, and to assess its litigation, other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue Recognition

Tour revenue consists of guest ticket revenue recognized from the sale of guest tickets and other tour revenues from the sale of pre- and post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, land-based expeditions, air transportation to and from the ships, goods and services rendered onboard that are not included in guest ticket prices, trip insurance, and cancellation fees. Revenue from the sale of guest tickets and other revenue are recognized gross, as the Company has the primary obligation in the arrangement, has discretion in supplier selection and is involved in the determination of the service specifications.

The Company’s tour guests remit deposits in advance of tour embarkation. Guest tour deposits consist of guest ticket revenues as well as revenues from the sale of pre- and post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, land-based expeditions, air transportation to and from the ships, and trip insurance. Guest tour deposits represent unearned revenues and are initially included in unearned passenger revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet when received. Guest deposits are subsequently recognized as tour revenues on the date of embarkation. Tour expeditions average ten days in duration. For tours in excess of ten days, the Company recognizes revenue based upon expeditions days earned. Guest cancellation fees are recognized as tour revenues at the time of the cancellation. Revenues from the sale of additional goods and services rendered onboard are recognized upon purchase.

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock, which may include options, warrants and vesting of restricted stock, which was accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company calculated earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 and 805-40-45 as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands, except share and per share data)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Net (loss) income attributable to Lindblad for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	(2,533	)	$	(4,346	)	$	(1,936	)	$	6,121

Diluted		44,428,947			45,670,721			44,567,588			46,299,189

Earnings per share attributable to Lindblad
Basic	$	(0.06	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.04	)	$	0.13
Diluted	$	(0.06	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.04	)	$	0.13

The Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and therefore the impact of potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding stock options, restricted shares and warrants, totaling 13,354,908 shares as of June 30, 2017, were excluded from the computation of loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three month period ending June 30, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss and therefore excluded potential common shares from outstanding stock options, restricted shares and warrants totaling 14,307,771 shares as of June 30, 2016 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six month period ending June 30, 2016, 728,751 stock options were deemed to be dilutive and were included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation. Unvested restricted shares totaling 125,164 and warrants totaling 12,040,937 were deemed to be anti-dilutive for the six month period ending June 30, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, as well as deposits in financial institutions, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in several financial institutions in the U.S. and other countries which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. Accounts held in the U.S. are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s cash held in financial institutions outside of the U.S. amounted $4.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities

Included in “Restricted cash and marketable securities” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are restricted cash and marketable securities, consisting of six-month certificates of deposit and short-term investments as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
(In thousands)	(Unaudited)
Restricted cash and marketable securities:
Credit negotiation and credit card processor reserves	$	1,530	$	5,030
Federal Maritime Commission escrow		18,371		2,571
Certificates of deposit and other restricted securities		1,360		1,414
Total restricted cash and marketable securities	$	21,261	$	9,015

The amounts held in restricted cash and marketable securities represent principally funds required to be held in certificates of deposit by certain vendors and regulatory agencies and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts cannot be used by the Company until the restrictions are removed by those vendors and regulatory agencies. Interest income is recognized when earned.

The Company has classified marketable securities, principally money market funds, as trading securities which are recorded at market value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in current operations. Gains and losses on the disposition of securities are recognized by the specific identification method in the period in which they occur.

During the first quarter of 2017, our required credit card reserves were permanently decreased by $3.5 million to $1.5 million for credit card deposits for our third-party credit card processors.

In order to operate guest tour expedition vessels from U.S. ports, the Company is required to post a performance bond with the Federal Maritime Commission or escrow all unearned guest deposits plus an additional 10% in restricted accounts. To satisfy this requirement, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution to escrow all unearned guest revenues collected for sailings from U.S. ports. Amounts in the escrow accounts include cash, certificates of deposit and marketable securities. Cost of these short-term investments approximates fair value.

Inventories and Marine Operating Supplies

Inventories consist primarily of gift shop merchandise and other items for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Marine operating supplies consist primarily of fuel, provisions, spare parts, items required for maintenance, and supplies used in the operation of marine expeditions. Marine operating supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

The Company records prepaid expenses and other current assets at cost and expenses them in the period the services are provided or the goods are delivered. The Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following:

	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
	2017		2016
(In thousands)	(Unaudited)
Prepaid tour expenses	$	13,506	$	11,593

Prepaid corporate insurance		1,721		931
Prepaid marketing, commissions and other expenses		3,253		1,823
Total prepaid expenses	$	25,562	$	20,782

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization were computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Vessels and vessel improvements		15-25
Furniture, vehicles and equipment		5
Computer hardware and software		5
Leasehold improvements, including port facilities		Shorter of lease term or related asset life

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned and operated six vessels. A new coastal vessel, the National Geographic Quest, joined the fleet in the third quarter of 2017 and the Company has contracted for another coastal vessel, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018. The Company has a capital program for the improvement of its vessels and for asset replacements in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of its operations; comply with, or exceed all relevant legal and statutory requirements related to health, environment, safety, security and sustainability; and gain strategic benefits or provide newer improved product innovations to its guests.

Vessel improvement costs that add value to the Company’s vessels, such as those discussed above, are capitalized to the vessels and depreciated over the shorter of the improvements or the vessel’s estimated remaining useful life, while costs of repairs and maintenance, including minor improvement costs and drydock expenses, are charged to expense as incurred and included in cost of tours. Drydock costs primarily represent planned maintenance activities that are incurred when a vessel is taken out of service. For U.S. flagged ships, the statutory requirement is an annual docking and U.S. Coast Guard inspections, normally conducted in drydock. Internationally flagged ships have scheduled dockings approximately every 12 months, for a period of up to three to six weeks.

The Company began to capitalize interest in January 2016 for its two new build coastal vessels under accounting guidance in ASC 835-20, which requires companies to capitalize interest cost incurred during the construction of assets. The capitalized interest has been and will continue to be added to the historical cost of the asset, and depreciate over its useful life. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in capitalized interest in property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Goodwill

Goodwill includes the cost of the acquired business in excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Natural Habitat (see Note 1 – Business). Accounting Standards Codification 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), requires the Company to assess goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. Due to the acquisition of Natural Habitat on May 4, 2016, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $22.1 million, in Natural Habitat’s reporting unit. The Company’s policy is to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if Natural Habitat’s reporting unit’s carrying value is less than the fair value of the reporting unit, indicating the potential for goodwill impairment. The quantitative two step goodwill impairment calculation is then performed if the reporting unit fails the qualitative test. The Company performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2016 for Natural Habitat’s reporting unit with no indication of goodwill impairment.

Intangibles, net

Intangibles, net include tradenames, customer lists and operating rights. Tradenames are words, symbols, or other devices used in trade or business to indicate the source of products and to distinguish it from other products and are registered with government agencies and are protected legally by continuous use in commerce. Customer lists are established relationships with existing customers that resulted in repeat purchases and customer loyalty. Based on the Company’s analysis, amortization of the tradenames and customer lists was computed using the estimated useful lives of 15 and 5 years, respectively.

The Company operates two vessels year-round in the Galápagos National Park in Ecuador: the National Geographic Endeavour II with 95 berths and the National Geographic Islander with 47 berths. In order to operate these vessels within the park, the Company is required to have in its possession cupos (licenses) sufficient to cover the total available berths on each vessel.

In June 2015, a new Ecuadorian Special Law for Protected Areas was approved, and was updated in November 2015. A Presidential Decree issued by President Correa of Ecuador in November 2015 established that cupos, which were in effect as of July 2015, will have a validity of nine years. The Company’s operating rights are up for renewal in July 2024 and based on the new law, the Company will begin the renewal process in 2020. The current “owners” of the cupos will have the opportunity to re-apply for them, but any other enterprise or individual will have the opportunity to bid for the cupos. All bidders must present proof that they fulfill the conditions to properly utilize the license (access to a vessel, experience in tourism, proven environmental behavior, marketing, etc.). While the Company believes that, based on the expected criteria to retain cupos and its past operating history in the Galápagos, there is a strong possibility that the Company will retain its cupos, from an accounting perspective, it will assume they retain no value after July 2024. Once the renewal process has begun and if it can be determined that the Company will be successful in its bid, then the Company will adjust its amortization prospectively.

Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the assessment of possible impairment of the Company’s intangibles, net will be based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its asset, which is determined by using the asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess, if any, of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. A significant amount of judgment is required in estimating the future cash flows and fair values of its tradenames, customer lists and operating rights. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no triggering event and the Company did not record an impairment for intangible assets.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally its vessels and operating rights, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its asset, which is determined by using the asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If these estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess, if any, of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. A significant amount of judgment is required in estimating the future cash flows and fair values of its vessels and operating rights. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no triggering event and the Company did not record an impairment of its long-lived assets.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

The Company records accounts payable and accrued expenses for the cost of such items when the service is provided or when the related product is delivered. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:

	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
	2017		2016
(In thousands)	(Unaudited)
Accounts payable	$	5,147	$	7,573

Royalty payable		1,298		1,468
Accrued travel insurance expense		385		375
Total accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	21,501	$	30,662

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which expands disclosures for assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1	Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at measurement date.

Level 2	Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3	Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that cannot be corroborated by market data. Fair value is determined by the reporting entity’s own assumptions utilizing the best information available, and includes situations where there is little market activity for the investment.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value given that the terms of the agreement were comparable to the market as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no other liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of obligations for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The measurement of net deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized, and a corresponding valuation allowance is established. The determination of the required valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets was made without taking into account the deferred tax liabilities created from the book and tax differences on indefinite-lived assets.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which it recognizes deferred income taxes for the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based upon the weight of available evidence, the Company does not believe it is “more-likely-than-not” that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company will continue to evaluate the deferred tax asset valuation allowance balances in all of our foreign and U.S. companies to determine the appropriate level of valuation allowances.

The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcome of current and future examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the provision for income taxes. The Company has only recorded financial statement benefits for tax positions which it believes reflect the “more-likely-than-not” criteria of FASB’s authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and it has established income tax reserves in accordance with this guidance where necessary. Once a financial statement benefit for a tax position is recorded or a tax reserve is established, the Company adjusts it only when there is more information available or when an event occurs necessitating a change. While the Company believes that the amount of the recorded financial statement benefits and tax reserves reflect the more-likely-than-not criteria, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may result in a reduction to the tax benefits previously recorded on its condensed consolidated financial statements or may exceed the current income tax reserves in amounts that could be material. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 million, included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions included in income tax expense are immaterial.

The Company is subject to tax audits in all jurisdictions for which it files tax returns. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. Currently, there are no U.S. federal, state or foreign jurisdiction tax audits pending. The Company’s corporate U.S. federal and state tax returns for the current year and the three prior years remain subject to examination by tax authorities and the Company’s foreign tax returns for the current year and the four prior years remain subject to examination by tax authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees, non-employee Directors or other service providers in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that awards are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant and are amortized over the service period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the equity instrument issued. To the extent that an equity award later becomes eligible to be put back to the Company, then the fair value of that award or those exercised shares are transferred out of additional paid-in-capital to a liability account and is thereafter marked-to-market annually to fair value.

Segment Reporting

We are an expedition and adventure travel operator with operations in two segments, Lindblad and Natural Habitat. We evaluate the performance of our business based largely on the results of our operating segments. We provide discrete financial information in total, by ship and type of ship. The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, and management review operating results monthly, and base operating decisions on the total results at a consolidated level, as well as at a segment level. Our reports provided to the Board of Directors are at a consolidated level and also contain information regarding the separate results of both segments. Management performance and related compensation is primarily based on total results. While both segments have similar characteristics, the two operating and reporting segments cannot be aggregated because they fail to meet the ASC 280 requirements for aggregation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. An entity may change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award for many different reasons, and the nature and effect of the change can vary significantly. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification currently defines the term modification as “a change in any of the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.” The broad definition has led to inconsistencies in practice. Under the new guidance, modification accounting treatment will be utilized unless all three of the following criteria have been met; the fair value of the original award is the same as the fair value of the modified award; vesting period did not change; and the classification of the award has not changed. Public business entities should apply this update prospectively for all new awards after annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 as per guidance and does not expect the prospective application to have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendment was issued in response from stakeholders’ regarding the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities). Now the entity compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. Public business entities should apply the guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact prospectively, to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendment was issued to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set (inputs and processes that produce an output) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. Public business entities should apply the guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact prospectively, to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note Payable

On May 4, 2016, in connection with the Natural Habitat acquisition, Natural Habitat issued an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Bressler with an outstanding principal amount of $2.5 million due at maturity on December 31, 2020. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 1.44% annually, with interest payable every six months.

Credit Facility

On March 7, 2016, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with Credit Suisse (“Restated Credit Agreement”), amending its senior secured credit facility with Credit Suisse (“Restated Credit Facility”). The Restated Credit Facility provides for $175.0 million senior secured first lien term loan facility (consisting of a $155.0 million U.S. term loan (the “U.S. Term Loan”) and a $20.0 million Cayman term loan for the benefit of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (the “Cayman Loan”, and together with the U.S. Term Loan, (the “Loans”)) and a $45.0 million senior secured incremental revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

Borrowings under the Loans bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark Administration LIBO Rate (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a spread of 4.50%. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate was 5.82%. The U.S. Term Loan and the Cayman Loan both mature on May 8, 2021. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark Administration LIBO Rate plus a spread of 4.00%, or, at the option of the Company, an alternative base rate plus a spread of 3.00%. The Company is also required to pay a 0.50% annual commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, which matures on May 8, 2020. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Restated Credit Agreement (i) requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants; (ii) limits the amount of indebtedness the Company may incur; (iii) limits the amount the Company may spend in connection with certain types of investments; (iv) requires the delivery of certain periodic financial statements and an operating budget and (v) requires the mortgaged vessels and related inventory to be maintained in good working condition. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, total debt discount and deferred financing costs charged to amortization and interest expense was $0.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, total debt discount and deferred financing costs charged to amortization and interest expense was $1.1 million.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISTION

On May 4, 2016, the Company acquired an 80.1% ownership interest in Natural Habitat, an adventure travel and ecotourism company based in Colorado. The acquisition provided the Company with a platform to expand our land-based expeditions with a strong, trusted brand complementary to Lindblad. In 2016, the Company incurred $1.0 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Natural Habitat, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company recorded this transaction using the acquisition method for business combinations. The Company measured the identifiable assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of Natural Habitat at their fair market value as of the acquisition date and separately measured goodwill at its fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is an intangible asset arising as a result of name, reputation, customer loyalty, location, products, and similar factors not separately identified. The recorded goodwill has no tax basis and is therefore not tax deductible.

Mr. Bressler’s noncontrolling interest in the remaining 19.9% interest in Natural Habitat is subject to a put/call arrangement. Mr. Bressler has a put option under certain conditions and subject to providing notice by October 31, 2020, that enables him, but does not obligate him, to sell his remaining interest in Natural Habitat on December 31, 2020. The Company has a call option, but not an obligation, with an expiration of December 31, 2025, for which it can buy Mr. Bressler’s remaining interest at a similar fair value measure as Mr. Bressler’s put option.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s benefit plan contribution amounted to $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The benefit plan contribution is recorded within general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s common stock and warrants are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “LIND” and “LINDW,” respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 45,066,058 and 45,659,762 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, and 10,673,015 and 11,186,387 warrants outstanding (inclusive of certain warrants issued to the Company’s founders on substantially the same terms as all other warrants), respectively.

Capital Stock

The Company has a total of 201,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value and 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value.

Stock and Warrant Repurchase Plan

In November 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $20.0 million stock and warrant repurchase plan and in November 2016, increased the authorization by $15.0 million to a total of $35.0 million. This Repurchase Plan authorizes the Company to purchase from time to time the Company’s outstanding common stock and warrants through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or in privately negotiated transactions based on market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Any shares and warrants purchased will be retired. The Repurchase Plan has no time deadline and will continue until otherwise modified or terminated at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased 66,194 shares of common stock for $0.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company purchased 547,058 shares of common stock for $5.1 million and 513,372 warrants for $1.1 million. The Company has cumulatively purchased 5,426,985 warrants for $13.9 million and 855,776 shares of common stock for $8.1 million, since plan inception.

2017 Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In March 2017, the Company’s compensation committee (or a subcommittee thereof) approved awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) to key employees under the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The Company granted 171,393 RSUs on April 3, 2017 at a grant price of $8.98. The RSU’s will vest in three equal annual installments following the April 2017 grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service with us or our subsidiaries on the applicable vesting date.

The PSUs are performance-vesting equity incentive awards that will be earned based on our performance against metrics relating to annual Adjusted EBITDA, annual revenue, and guest satisfaction. Awards will vest after a three-year performance period and may be earned at a level ranging from 0%-200% of the number of PSUs granted, depending on performance. On April 3, 2017, the Company awarded 126,953 of targeted PSUs with the number of shares determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2017 of $8.96. Based on the financial statements as of June 30, 2017, the Company assessed the applicable metrics related to the PSU grants, determined the blended probability of achieving the performance metrics and valued the awards based on the fair value at the date of grant with the amount of stock compensation expense determined based on the number PSU’s expected to vest.

2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan

In April 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan and in June 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan, pursuant to which the Company may grant awards covering up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and/or other stock- or cash- based awards to eligible employees and other service providers of the Company. The 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan was adopted in connection with a contribution agreement that the Company entered into with Sven-Olof Lindblad, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Lindblad is authorized to transfer up to 1,000,000 shares from his holdings of the Company’s common stock (i.e., an equivalent number of shares as is reserved for issuance under the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan) (the “Contribution Shares”) to the Company as a contribution to the capital of the Company. Mr. Lindblad will not receive any consideration in exchange for the Contribution Shares. However, as a condition to the contribution of any Contribution Shares, the Company must grant awards under the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan, such that the number of Contribution Shares that Mr. Lindblad actually contributes to the Company will equal the number of shares corresponding to awards granted under the plan. The contribution of the Contribution Shares by Mr. Lindblad to the Company will effectively reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are outstanding by the same number of shares that are issued under the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan (or a lesser number in the event awards are settled in cash). Such contributions will be effective as of the date the Company grants corresponding awards under the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan. The administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 CEO Share Allocation Plan at any time.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Fleet Expansion

On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into two separate Vessel Construction Agreements, (collectively, the “Agreements”) with Ice Floe, LLC, a Washington limited liability company doing business as Nichols Brothers Boat Builders (the “Builder”). The Agreements provide for the Builder to construct two new 236-foot 100-passenger cruise vessels at a purchase price of $48.0 million and $48.6 million, respectively, subject to change orders.

The builder was contracted to deliver the first vessel, National Geographic Quest, in the second quarter of 2017, subject to extension for certain events such as change orders. As of June 30, 2017 the Company has paid Ice Flo, LLC $51.6 million related to the National Geographic Quest and the vessel was delivered in July of 2017. The second vessel, the National Geographic Venture, is contracted to be delivered in the second quarter of 2018 subject to extension for certain events, such as change orders. The Company may terminate the applicable Agreement in the event the Builder fails to deliver the vessel within one hundred eighty days of the applicable due date or the Builder becomes insolvent or otherwise bankrupt. The Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. As of June 30, 2017 the Company has paid Ice Flo, LLC $14.9 million related to National Geographic Venture.

Royalty Agreement – National Geographic

The Company is engaged in an alliance and license agreement with National Geographic, which allows the Company to use the National Geographic name and logo. In return for these rights, the Company is charged a royalty fee. The royalty fee is included within selling and marketing expense on accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount is calculated based upon a percentage of ticket revenue less travel agent commission, including the revenue received from cancellation fees and any revenue received from the sale of voyage extensions. A voyage extension occurs when a guest extends their trip with pre- or post-voyage hotel nights and is included within tour revenues on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The royalty expense is recognized at the time of revenue recognition. See Note 2 for a description of the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Royalty expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

The balances outstanding to National Geographic as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Royalty Agreement – World Wildlife Fund

Natural Habitat has a license agreement with World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”), which allows it to use the WWF name and logo. In return for these rights, Natural Habitat is charged a royalty fee and a fee based on annual gross sales. The fees are included within selling and marketing expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, these fees totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Business Overview

Lindblad provides expedition cruising and adventure travel experiences that include itineraries that feature up-close encounters with wildlife and nature, history and culture and promote guest empowerment and interactivity. Our mission is offering life-changing adventures on all seven continents and pioneering innovative ways to allow our guests to connect with exotic and remote places.

As of June 30, 2017, we operate a fleet of six owned expedition ships and five seasonal charter vessels under the Lindblad brand. A new coastal vessel the National Geographic Quest joined the fleet in the third quarter of 2017 and the Company has contracted for another coastal vessel expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018. We have a strategic business alliance with the National Geographic Society (“National Geographic”) founded on a shared interest in exploration, research, technology, and conservation. This relationship includes a co-selling, co-marketing and branding arrangement whereby our owned vessels carry the National Geographic name and National Geographic sells our expeditions through its internal travel division. We collaborate with National Geographic on voyage planning to enhance the guest experience by having National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers, and film crews, join our expeditions. Guests have the ability to interface with these experts through lectures, excursions, dining, and other experiences throughout their voyage. Our arrangement with National Geographic extends through 2025.

We deploy chartered vessels for various seasonal offerings and continually seek to optimize our charter fleet to balance our inventory with demand and maximize yields. We use our charter inventory as a mechanism to both increase travel options for our existing and prospective guests and also to test demand for certain areas and seasons to understand the potential for longer term deployments and additional vessel needs.

Due to the specific geographies in which we operate and the cost of providing access to fuel in our remote destinations, we have historically not experienced significant fluctuations in fuel costs with changes in world fuel commodity prices. Fuel costs were 2% of tour revenue for three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 at the Lindblad segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 fuel costs were 2% and 3% of tour revenue at the Lindblad segment.

On May 4, 2016, we expanded our land-based offerings by acquiring an 80.1% ownership interest in Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”), an adventure travel and ecotourism company based in Colorado. Natural Habitat was founded by Benjamin L. Bressler, who retains a 19.9% noncontrolling interest in Natural Habitat. Examples of Natural Habitat’s expeditions include African safaris in Botswana, grizzly bear adventures in Alaska and polar bear tours in Canada. Since 2003, Natural Habitat has partnered with the World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”) to offer conservation travel, sustainable travel that directly protects nature. This agreement with WWF extends through 2023.

In December 2015, we entered into two separate contracts with Ice Floe LLC, to build the National Geographic Quest and the National Geographic Venture. Management considers this investment to be an important step to meet increasing demand for our expedition cruise offerings. National Geographic Quest launched in the third quarter of 2017 and will sail in Alaska and British Columbia during the summer of 2017 before voyaging to Costa Rica and Panama to provide expeditions for the Northern Hemisphere winter season. There were four voyages cancelled due to delayed delivery of the vessel that will impact full year tour revenue by approximately $3.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $3.0 million. The National Geographic Venture is expected to launch in June of 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the National Geographic Orion experienced an issue with its main engine and as a result we cancelled four voyages during the first quarter of 2017 for necessary engine repairs. In addition, in the first quarter of 2017, the National Geographic Sea Lion cancelled two voyages to repair the onboard air conditioning system. The impact of the cancellations during the first quarter was approximately $9.1 million in tour revenues, which included lost ticket revenues of approximately $11.0 million, offset by $1.9 million in insurance revenues related to the National Geographic Orion cancellations. The Adjusted EBITDA impact due to the voyage cancellations was approximately $6.5 million.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 provides additional information about our business operations and financial condition.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are organized as follows:

●

a description of certain line items and operational and financial metrics we utilize to assist us in managing our business;

●

results and a comparable discussion of our consolidated and segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016;

●

a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources, including future capital and contractual commitments and potential funding sources; and

●

a review of our critical accounting policies.

Financial Presentation

Description of Certain Line Items

Tour revenues

Tour revenues consist of the following:

●

Guest ticket revenues recognized from the sale of guest tickets; and

●

Other tour revenues from the sale of pre- or post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, and land-based expeditions; air transportation to and from the ships, goods and services rendered onboard that are not included in guest ticket prices, trip insurance, and cancellation fees.

Cost of tours

Cost of tours includes the following:

●

Direct costs associated with revenues, including cost of pre- or post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, and land-based expeditions, air and other transportation expenses, and cost of goods and services rendered onboard;

●

Payroll costs and related expenses for shipboard and expedition personnel;

●

Food costs for guests and crew, including complimentary food and beverage amenities for guests;

●

Fuel costs and related costs of delivery, storage and safe disposal of waste; and

●

Other tour expenses, such as land costs, port costs, repairs and maintenance, equipment expense, drydock, ship insurance, and charter hire costs.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expenses include commissions and a broad range of advertising and promotional expenses.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses include the cost of shore side vessel support, reservations and other administrative functions, including salaries and related benefits, credit card commissions, professional fees and rent.

Operational and Financial Metrics

We use a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Net Yields, and Net Cruise Costs, to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in the cruise and tourism industry to evaluate performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should read this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto also included within.

Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), and other supplemental adjustments. Other supplemental adjustments include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, the National Geographic fee amortization, merger-related expenses, and acquisition-related expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense, and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain drivers of the business, such as sales growth and operating costs. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as unearned passenger revenues, capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments, and tax payments. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our business performance.

The following metrics apply to our Lindblad segment:

Adjusted Net Cruise Cost represents Net Cruise Cost adjusted for Non-GAAP other supplemental adjustments which include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, the National Geographic fee amortization, merger-related expenses, and acquisition-related expenses.

Available Guest Nights is a measurement of capacity and represents double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin) multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. We also record the number of guest nights available on our limited land programs in this definition.

Gross Cruise Cost represents the sum of cost of tours plus merger-related expenses, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses.

Gross Yield represents tour revenues less insurance proceeds divided by Available Guest Nights.

Guest Nights Sold represents the number of guests carried for the period multiplied by the number of nights sailed within the period.

Maximum Guests is a measure of capacity and represents the maximum number of guests in a period and is based on double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin).

Net Cruise Cost represents Gross Cruise Cost excluding commissions and certain other direct costs of guest ticket revenues and other tour revenues.

Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel represents Net Cruise Cost excluding fuel costs.

Net Revenue represents tour revenues less insurance proceeds, commissions and direct costs of other tour revenues.

Net Yield represents Net Revenue divided by Available Guest Nights.

Number of Guests represents the number of guests that travel with us in a period.

Occupancy is calculated by dividing Guest Nights Sold by Available Guest Nights.

Voyages represent the number of ship expeditions completed during the period.

Foreign Currency Translation

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency in our foreign operations and re-measurement adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Seasonality

Lindblad tour revenues from the sale of guest tickets are mildly seasonal, historically larger in the first and third quarters. The seasonality of our operating results increases due to our vessels being taken out of service for scheduled maintenance or drydocking, which is typically during non-peak demand periods, in the second and fourth quarters. Our drydock schedules are subject to cost and timing differences from year to year due to the availability of shipyards for certain work, drydock locations based on ship itineraries, operating conditions experienced especially in the polar regions, and the applicable regulations of class societies in the maritime industry, which require more extensive reviews periodically. Drydocking impacts operating results by reducing tour revenues and increasing cost of tours. Natural Habitat is a seasonal business, with the majority of its tour revenue recorded in the fourth quarter from polar bear tours.

Results of Operations – Consolidated

We reported consolidated tour revenues, cost of tours, operating expenses, operating income, and net (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 as shown in the following table:

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 – Consolidated

Tour Revenues

Tour revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $1.7 million, or 3%, to $55.6 million compared to $53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of $2.6 million in added tour revenues from the Natural Habitat segment, which was acquired in the second quarter of 2016, partially offset by $0.9 million of lower revenues at the Lindblad segment primarily due to lower occupancy.

Tour revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $3.3 million, or 3%, to $118.7 million compared to $115.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of $12.6 million in added tour revenues from the Natural Habitat segment, partially offset by a decrease of $9.3 million at the Lindblad segment due largely to the cancellation of four highly booked voyages of the National Geographic Orion and two highly booked voyages of the National Geographic Sea Lion in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding these voyage cancellations, it is estimated tour revenues would have increased approximately $12.4 million or 11% to $127.8 million.

Cost of Tours

Total cost of tours for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.7 million, or 2%, to $28.7 million compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Lindblad segment declined by $2.0 million, primarily driven by lower drydock expenses, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million from the Natural Habitat segment due to a full quarter of results.

Total cost of tours for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $6.6 million, or 12%, to $61.3 million compared to $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of a $7.5 million increase at the Natural Habitat segment due to a full six months of results for 2017, partially offset by a $0.9 million decline at the Lindblad segment. Lower cost of tours at the Lindblad segment were driven by a decrease in drydock and fuel expenses, which were partially offset by additional charter expeditions and costs associated with the cancelled voyages during the first quarter.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2.5 million to $15.1 million compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was driven by $1.4 million in added general and administrative expenses at the Lindblad segment due to higher stock based compensation associated with the CEO Allocation grant and $1.1 million at the Natural Habitat segment due to a full quarter of results for the second quarter of 2017.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $6.4 million to $30.2 million compared to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of $3.0 million in added general and administrative costs at the Lindblad segment due to higher stock based compensation associated with the CEO Allocation grant and $3.3 million at the Natural Habitat segment due to a full six months of results in 2017.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $9.5 million compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as a $0.1 million decrease at the Lindblad segment was offset by a $0.1 million increase at the Natural Habitat segment.

Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $0.7 million, or 4%, to $19.8 million compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of $1.1 million in added selling and marketing expenses from the Natural Habitat segment due to a full six months of results in 2017, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in the Lindblad segment.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $3.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $7.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The $1.0 million and $1.8 million decreases were primarily related to the accelerated depreciation for the National Geographic Endeavour, recorded in 2016 and described in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Other Expense (Income)

Other expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $1.6 million decrease was due to higher capitalized interest related to the construction of the National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture and gains on foreign currency translation.

Other expenses were $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.7 million in 2016. The $2.0 million decrease was due to higher capitalized interest related to the construction of the National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture and gains on foreign currency translation.

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 – Lindblad Segment

Tour Revenues

Tour revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.9 million, or 2%, to $47.2 million compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change was primarily related to a $1.9 million decrease in guest ticket revenues primarily due to lower occupancy, partially offset by $0.9 million increase in other tour revenues.

Tour revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $9.3 million, or 8%, to $100.4 million compared to $109.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change was primarily the result of a $10.7 million decrease in guest ticket revenues primarily due voyage cancellations on the National Geographic Orion and National Geographic Sea Lion during the first quarter of 2017 and to lower occupancy. Excluding these voyage cancellations, it is estimated tour revenues would have increased approximately $12.4 million or 11% to $127.8 million.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 improved $0.8 million, to an operating loss of $0.9 million compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This improvement was primarily related to a $1.9 million reduction in cost of tours mostly due to lower drydock costs of $1.5 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization as a result of the accelerated depreciation related to the retirement of the National Geographic Endeavor of $1.1 million during the prior year, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative costs driven by stock compensation associated with the 2016 CEO Allocation Plan of $1.4 million.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $8.9 million to $0.3 million compared to operating income of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily related to the voyage cancellations on the National Geographic Orion and National Geographic Sea Lion during the first quarter of 2017, an increase in stock based compensation due to the 2016 CEO Allocation Plan and additional charter costs, partially offset by lower drydock and fuel expenses. Excluding the impact of cancelled voyages it is estimated that operating income would have decreased approximately $2.4 million or 19% to $6.8 million.

Results of Operations – Natural Habitat Segment

As a result of the acquisition of Natural Habitat, we began to include the results of operations for Natural Habitat as a separate segment on May 5, 2016. For the period beginning May 5, 2016 and ending on June 30, 2016, Natural Habitat reported $5.7 million in tour revenues and an operating loss of $0.8 million for three and six months ending June 30, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Natural Habitat segment reported tour revenues of $8.3 million and $18.3 million and operating losses of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6.8 million in the comparable period in 2016. The $16.4 million increase was primarily due to a $26.4 million increase in unearned passenger revenues as a result of higher year over year bookings partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $51.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $52.0 million in the comparable period in 2016. The improvement was a result of the acquisition of Natural Habitat in the prior year, mostly offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $5.8 million and purchases of restricted cash reserves and marketable securities of $3.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $8.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $10.6 million in the comparable period in 2016. The $2.1 million decrease is primarily the result of lower deferred financing costs and equity purchases.

Funding Needs and Sources

We have historically relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund obligations. Similar to others in the industry, we have historically operated with a meaningful working capital deficit. This historical deficit is mainly attributable to the fact that, under our business model, a vast majority of guest ticket receipts are collected in advance of the applicable sailing date. These advance passenger receipts remain a current liability until the sailing date and the cash generated from these advance receipts is used interchangeably with cash on hand from other cash from operations. The cash received as advanced receipts can be used to fund operating expenses for the applicable future sailing or otherwise, pay down credit facilities, invest in long-term investments or any other use of cash. As a result of the proceeds from the Restated Credit Agreement and the merger, we had net working capital of $11.7 million and $47.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, we had $99.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash.

In November 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $20.0 million stock and warrant repurchase plan and in November 2016, increased the authorization by $15.0 million to a total of $35.0 million. This Repurchase Plan authorizes the Company to purchase from time to time the Company’s outstanding common stock and warrants through open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or in privately negotiated transactions based on market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Any shares and warrants purchased will be retired. The Repurchase Plan has no time deadline and will continue until otherwise modified or terminated at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased 66,194 shares of common stock for $0.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 we purchased 547,058 shares of common stock for $5.1 million and 513,372 warrants for $1.1 million. We have cumulatively purchased 5,426,985 warrants for $13.9 million and 855,776 shares of common stock for $8.1 million, since plan inception.

In December 2015, we executed definitive agreements for the construction of two new coastal vessels for delivery targeted in 2017 and 2018 at a purchase price of $48.0 million and $46.8 million, respectively subject to change orders. As of June 30, 2017, we paid $51.6 million and $14.9 million related to these contracts for the construction of the National Geographic Quest and the National Geographic Venture, respectively. The new build process exposes us to certain risks typically associated with new ship construction, which we manage through detailed planning and close monitoring by our internal marine team. The purchase of the ships has been funded through a combination of cash available on our balance sheet, our revolving credit facility and excess cash flows generated by our existing operations.

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $165.8 million in long-term debt obligations, including the current portion of long-term debt offset by debt discounts and deferred financing costs. We believe that our cash on hand, our revolving credit facility and expected future operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund operations, debt service requirements, capital expenditures for our new builds and other assets, acquisitions, and our Repurchase Plan. However, there can be no assurance that cash flows from operations will be available in the future to fund future obligations.

Debt Covenants

On March 7, 2016, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with Credit Suisse as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (“Restated Credit Agreement”), amending our existing senior secured credit facility with Credit Suisse (“Restated Credit Facility”). The Restated Credit Facility provides for our existing $175.0 million senior secured first lien term loan facility and a $45.0 million senior secured incremental revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark Administration LIBO Rate (subject to a floor of 1%) plus a spread of 4.50% and mature on May 8, 2021. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark administration LIBO Rate plus a spread of 4.00%, or, at our option, an alternative base rate plus a spread of 3.00%. We are also required to pay a 0.50% annual commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility, which matures on May 8, 2020. Our obligations under the Restated Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that, among other things, (i) require us to maintain a total net leverage ratio (defined as on any date of determination, the ratio of total debt on such date, less up to $25.0 million of the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) for the trailing 12-month period) of 4.75 to 1.00 initially, with 0.25 equal reductions annually thereafter until March 31, 2020, when the total net leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter; (ii) limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur generally and specifically for intercompany debt, debt incurred to finance acquisitions and improvements, for capital and synthetic lease obligations, for standby letters of credit, and in connection with refinancings; (iii) limit the amount we may spend in connection with certain types of investments; and (iv) require the delivery of certain periodic financial statements and an operating budget. As of June 30, 2017, the net leverage ratio was 4.25 to 1 and we were in compliance with the financial covenants.
