ALGONQUIN POWER & UTILITIES CORP.
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
(in thousands of Canadian dollars except as noted and per share)
1. | Basis of presentation: |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC” or “the Company”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of APUC for the year ended December 31, 2009. The notes presented in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include only significant changes and transactions occurring since APUC’s last year end, and are not fully inclusive of all disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.
APUC’s operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter’s operating results. APUC’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily “run-of-river” and as such fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. Algonquin’s water and wastewater utility assets revenues fluctuate depending on demand for water. During drier, hotter periods of the year, which occurs generally in the summer, demand for water is generally higher than during cooler, wetter periods of the year.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the 2009 annual financial statements, except as outlined below.
2. | Change in accounting |
As a result of the change in its corporate structure relating to conversion of the Company from an income trust to a corporation, the Company re-evaluated its exposure to currency exchange rate changes as determined by the underlying facts and circumstances of the economy in which the US divisions operate. The Company concluded that the US operations of the Renewable Energy and Thermal Energy divisions no longer should be classified as integrated foreign operations but rather as self-sustaining operations. Consequently, these divisions have been prospectively translated into Canadian dollars using the current rate method, effective January 1, 2010. The net exchange adjustment of $37,605 resulting from the current rate translation of non-monetary items, principally property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as of the date of the change is included as a separate component of other comprehensive income with a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of the non-monetary items.
3. | Acquisitions |
a) | Acquisition of Hydroelectric Generation Assets (“Tinker Acquisition”) |
On January 12, 2010, APUC acquired certain electrical generating facility assets including 36.8MW of hydroelectric generating capacity located in New Brunswick and Maine. The acquisition consists of three hydroelectric generating stations, most notably the 34.5MW Tinker Hydroelectric station located on the Aroostook River near the Town of Perth-Andover, New Brunswick. The acquisition also includes five thermal generating stations and certain regulated New Brunswick Independent System Operator transmission lines located in proximity to the generating facilities. In connection with the Tinker Acquisition, on February 4, 2010, APUC also acquired a related energy services business (“Energy Services Business”).

3. | Acquisitions (continued) |
a) | Acquisition of Hydroelectric Generation Assets (“Tinker Acquisition”) (continued) |
The Energy Services Business retails the electricity generated by the Tinker facilities to commercial and industrial customers in northern Maine.
The total purchase price, including acquisition costs, was $40,671. Acquisition costs of $390 were paid in 2009 which were recorded as deferred transaction costs and included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method, with earnings from operations included since the date of acquisition.
The consideration paid by APUC has been llocated to net assets acquired as follows:
Working capital (net of cash received of $1) | $ | 69 | ||
Property, plant and equipment | 39,555 | |||
Intangible asset – energy sales contracts | 4,421 | |||
Derivative liability – energy forward purchase contracts (note 11) | (3,374 | ) | ||
Total cash consideration | $ | 40,671 | ||
The allocation of the purchase price has been based upon management’s preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair value increment associated with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis prior to finalizing the allocation of the purchase price. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the date of acquisition and may differ from the amounts noted above in the preliminary purchase price allocation.
b) | Acquisition of Water Utility System (“the Galveston Utility”) |
On March 17, 2010 Liberty Water, a wholly owned subsidiary of APUC, acquired a water distribution and wastewater collection system located near Galveston, Texas for a total purchase price of $2,038. The Galveston Utility provides water distribution and wastewater collection services to approximately 260 equivalent residential connections.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method, with earnings from operations included since the date of acquisition.
The consideration paid by APUC has been preliminarily allocated to net assets acquired as follows:
Property, plant and equipment | $ | 2,023 | |
Intangible asset | 15 | ||
Total cash consideration | $ | 2,038 | |

3. | Acquisitions (continued) |
c) | Highground Capital Corporation |
In 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Highground Capital Corporation (“Highground”), CJIG Management Inc. (“CJIG”), which is the manager of Highground and a related party of the Company controlled by the shareholders of Algonquin Power Management Inc (“APMI”). Under the agreement, CJIG acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Highground and the Company issued trust units to the Highground shareholders and CJIG.
The Company initially recorded the trust units issued at their fair value of $7.69 per unit which, net of transaction costs of $767, resulted in proceeds of the trust units being initially recorded at a value of $26,203. By June 30, 2010, the Company has received consideration and issued equity as follows:
Consideration received: | |||
Cash and assets received prior to December 31 2008 | $ | 26,203 | |
Cash received in 2009 | 983 | ||
Cash received in 2010 | 170 | ||
$ | 27,356 | ||
In 2009, APUC’s consideration received from the acquisition exceeded $26,970, the minimum contemplated under the agreements, and, as a result is entitled to 50% of any additional proceeds from the assets formerly owned by Highground. CJIG is entitled to the remaining 50% of any proceeds in excess of the minimum amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, APUC received $nil (2009 - $nil) and $170 (2009 - $nil) respectively from CJIG as APUC’s share of the 50% of additional proceeds from the further liquidation of the assets held by Highground. This has been recorded as an increased amount assigned to the equity originally issued.
The remaining investments, formerly held by Highground, currently consist of two non-liquid debt assets having an approximate principal amount of $2,350. APUC’s 50% share of any additional proceeds from liquidation of the remaining Highground assets will be recorded as additional proceeds when received from CJIG.

4 | Investments |
On April 19, 2010, the Company entered into agreements to provide development, construction, operation and supervision services related to the construction, commissioning and operation of a 26.4 megawatt wind energy facility (“Red Lily I”) in south-eastern Saskatchewan.
The equity in Red Lily I (‘the Partnership”) is owned by an independent investor. The Company’s investment in Red Lily I is in the form of a participation in a senior debt facility to the Partnership and providing a subordinated debt facility. APUC’s commitment under the senior debt facility is to advance up to $13,000 of the Tranche 2 senior debt. The advance will be made to fund project costs required to develop and construct Red Lily I and is expected to be invested within the next twelve months. The senior debt will earn an interest rate of 6.31% and will mature five years following commissioning of the project. The senior debt is secured by substantially all the assets of the partnership. On April 19, 2010, APUC advanced $6,565 in subordinated debt to the Partnership. A second tranche of subordinated debt for an amount equal to the amounts outstanding on Tranche 2 of the senior debt but no greater than $17,000 will be advanced five years following commissioning of the project. The proceeds from this additional subordinated debt are required to be used to repay Tranche 2 of the Partnership’s senior debt, including APUC’s portion. The subordinated debt earns an interest rate of 12.5%, the principal matures 25 years following commissioning of the project but is repayable in whole or in part at any time after five years, without a pre-payment premium. The subordinated debt is secured by substantially all the assets of the Partnership but is subordinated to the senior lenders.
In connection with the subordinated debt facility, the Company has been granted an option to subscribe for a 75% equity interest in the Partnership in exchange for the outstanding amount on its subordinated debt of up to $19,500, exercisable for a period of 90 days period commencing five years following commissioning of the project.
5. | Long-term liabilities |
APUC’s senior secured revolving operating and acquisition credit facilities (the “Facilities”) mature on January 14, 2011. As of June 30, 2010, the outstanding amount due on the Facilities of $102,792 has been recorded within the current portion of long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. This amount drawn at June 30, 2010 includes U.S. $20,000 in U.S. funds.

Stock Option Plan
On June 23, 2010, the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of establishing a stock option plan (the ‘Plan’) to encourage ownership of the Company’s common shares by its key officers, directors, employees and selected service providers. The aggregate number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan must not exceed 10% of the number of Shares outstanding at the time the options are granted. The number of shares subject to each option, the option price, the expiration date, the vesting and other terms and conditions relating to each option shall be determined by the Board from time to time. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not granted any options under the Plan.
Shareholders’ Rights Plan
On June 23, 2010, the Company’s shareholders adopted a shareholders’ rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan has an initial term of three years. Under the Rights Plan, one right is issued with each issued share of the Company. The rights remain attached to the shares and are not exercisable or separable unless one or more certain specified events occur. If a person or group acting in concert acquires 20 percent or more of the outstanding shares (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company, the rights will entitle the holders thereof (other than the acquiring person or group) to purchase shares at a 50 percent discount from the then current market price. The rights provided under the Rights Plan are not triggered by any person making a “Permitted Bid”, as defined in the Rights Plan.

Up to December 21, 2009, Algonquin Power Management Inc. (“APMI”) provided management services to the Fund including advice and consultation concerning business planning, support, guidance and policy making and general management services. On December 21, 2009, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) reached an agreement (“Management Internalization Agreement”) with APMI to internalize all management functions of the Fund which were provided by APMI. Therefore, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, APMI was not paid a management fee. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, APMI was paid on a cost recovery basis for all costs incurred and charged $212 and $425 respectively.
APUC has leased its head office facilities since 2001 from an entity owned by the shareholders of APMI on a net basis. Base lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $81 (2009 - $86) and $163 (2009 - $168) respectively.
APUC utilizes chartered aircraft, including the use of an aircraft owned by an affiliate of APMI.

In any particular period, cash distributions to the holders of the Class B Units are only to be made after distributions have been made to the other partners, in an aggregate amount, equal to the debt service on the outstanding debt in respect of such period. The related party holders of the Class B units are entitled to cash distributions of $87 (2009 - $103) and $126 (2009 - $157) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively.

Weighted average shares/units – diluted | 93,901,732 | 79,609,328 | 93,535,959 | 79,611,608 | ||||
Units issuable on conversion of exchangeable units are calculated at the end of the period based on the weighted average exchangeable units outstanding during the period and applying the rate of exchange.
Shares/units potentially issuable on the conversion of the convertible debentures are anti-dilutive and are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares/units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

11. | Segmented Information(continued) |
Revenues are attributable to the two countries based on the location of the underlying generating and utility facilities.
Reporting segments
APUC’s reportable segments are Algonquin Power - Renewable Energy, Algonquin Power - Thermal Energy and Liberty Water. The development activities are reported under Renewable Energy or Thermal Energy as appropriate. For purposes of evaluating divisional performance, the Company allocates the realized portion of the gain on financial instruments to specific divisions. This allocation is determined when the initial foreign exchange forward contract is entered into. The unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivatives instruments is not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and is therefore allocated and reported in the corporate segment. Interest expense is allocated to the divisions based on the project level debt related to the facilities in each division. Interest expense on the revolving credit facility is allocated between the reporting segments based on a percentage of the reporting segments share of the total property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The interest rate swaps relate to specific debt facilities and gains and losses are allocated in the same manner as interest expense. Amounts relating to the convertible debentures are reported in the corporate segment.

12. | Derivative instruments (continued): |
a) | Foreign Currency Risk |
The Company uses a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases to manage its foreign exchange exposure on cash flows generated from operations. Algonquin only enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with major Canadian financial institutions, thus reducing credit risk on these forward contracts. As at June 30, 2010, Algonquin had U.S. $28,030 in outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts carrying an average rate of $1.016. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts was a $1,612 liability.
b) | Interest Rate Risk |
The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to certain of its debt obligations, including certain project specific debt and its revolving credit facility.
APUC’s project debt at the St. Leon facility has a balance of $69,612 as at June 30, 2010. The Company has entered into a fixed for floating interest rate swap related to this debt covering the period to September 2015. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a $5,819 liability.
APUC senior revolving credit facility has a balance of $102,792 as at June 30, 2010. The Company has entered into a fixed for floating interest rate swap related to $100,000 of this debt covering the period to December 2010. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of this interest rate swap was a $1,607 liability.
c) | Energy Price Risk |
APUC provides the short-term energy requirements to various customers at fixed rates. The energy requirements of these customers are estimated at approximately 150,000 MW-hrs on an annualized basis. While the Tinker Assets are expected to provide the majority of the energy required to service these customers, APUC anticipates having to purchase a portion of its energy requirements at the ISO NE spot rates to supplement self-generated energy.
This risk is mitigated though the use of short term forward energy hedge contracts. APUC has committed to acquire approximately 25,000 MW-hrs of energy over the next 8 months at an average rate of approximately $75 per MW-hr. The mark to market value of these forward energy hedge contracts at June 30, 2010 was a net liability of $1,484.
