5. | Business Combination |
| |
| On February 27, 2015, Harvest acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Hunt Oil Company of Canada, Inc. (“Hunt”). Hunt was a private oil and gas company with operations immediately offsetting Harvest’s lands and production in the Deep Basin area of Alberta. |
| |
| The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The provisional fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition were: |
| Consideration | | | |
| Cash | $ | 36.8 | |
| | $ | 36.8 | |
| | | | |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | | | |
| Cash | $ | 2.2 | |
| Accounts receivable | | 1.0 | |
| Prepaid expenses | | 0.2 | |
| Property, plant and equipment | | 41.9 | |
| Exploration and evaluation assets | | 6.7 | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | (4.4 | ) |
| Decommissioning liability | | (3.2 | ) |
| Deferred income tax liability | | (7.6 | ) |
| | $ | 36.8 | |
The above amounts are estimates made by management at the time of the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on information then available. Amendments may be made as amounts subject to estimates are finalized.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of operations of Hunt from February 27, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the assets acquired contributed $0.3 million of revenues and $0.1 million to revenues less operating and transportation expenses. If the acquisition had been completed on the first day of 2015, Harvest’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 would have been $0.5 million higher and revenues less operating and transportation expenses would have been $0.3 million higher.

At March 31, 2015, the BlackGold oil sands central processing facility was mechanically completed, however, no depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as Harvest uses the unit-of-production method of depreciation and the BlackGold assets currently have no production.
During the first quarter of 2015, Harvest recognized an impairment loss of $23.5 million (2014 - $nil) against its Upstream PP&E in the South Oil cash generating unit to reflect lower forecasted oil prices and underperforming assets, which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows. The recoverable amount was based on the assets’ value-in-use, estimated using the net present value of proved plus probable reserves discounted at a pre-tax rate of 10% and the forecast commodity prices noted below. The recoverable amount as at March 31, 2015 for the South Oil CGU was $18.5 million. A 200 bps increase in the discount rate would result in an additional impairment of approximately $0.7 million. A 10% decrease in the forward oil price estimate would result in an additional impairment of approximately $8.0 million.

Deep Basin Partnership
As at March 31, 2015, Harvest’s ownership interest in DBP is 77.81% (December 31, 2014 – 77.81%) and KERR Canada Co. Ltd.’s (“KERR’s”) ownership interest in DBP is 22.19% (December 31, 2014 – 22.19%) . The amounts contributed by KERR on formation of the partnership on April 23, 2014 are being spent by the DBP to purchase land, drill and develop partnership properties in the Deep Basin area. As the initial funding from KERR is consumed and additional funds are required to fund the entire agreed initial multi-year development program, Harvest is obligated to fund the balance of the program from its share of partnership distributions from DBP. As at March 31, 2015, total distributions received by Harvest to date was $2.3 million.
KERR’s preferred partnership units provide KERR certain preference rights, including a put option right exercisable after 10.5 years, whereby KERR could cause DBP to redeem all its preferred partnership units for consideration equal to its initial contribution plus a minimum after-tax internal rate of return of two percent. If DBP does not have sufficient funds to complete the redemption obligation and after making efforts to secure funding, whether via issuing new equity, entering into a financing arrangement or selling assets, the partnership can cash-call Harvest to meet such obligation (the “top-up obligation”). This top-up obligation is accounted for by Harvest at fair value through profit and loss and is estimated using a probabilistic model of the estimated future cash flows of the DBP (level 3 fair value inputs). The cash flow forecast is based on management’s internal assumptions of the volumes, commodity prices, royalties, operating costs and capital expenditures specific to the DBP. As at March 31, 2015, the fair value of the top-up obligation was estimated as $nil, therefore, no top-up obligation was recorded by Harvest.
HK MS Partnership
During the first quarter of 2015, Harvest contributed $21.2 million into HKMS to complete the construction of the gas processing facility, increasing its ownership interest to 61.46% as at March 31, 2015 and diluting KERR’s ownership interest to 38.54% (December 31, 2014 – 53.76% and 46.24%, respectively).

Credit facility
At March 31, 2015, Harvest had $870.3 million drawn from the $1.0 billion available under the credit facility (December 31, 2014 - $620.7 million). The carrying value of the credit facility includes $2.8 million of deferred financial fees at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $3.1 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest charges on the credit facility borrowings aggregated to $5.4 million (2014 - $6.5 million), reflecting an effective interest rate 2.8% (2014 – 3.5%) .
On April 22, 2015, Harvest amended its credit facility and replaced it with a $940 million revolving credit facility that matures on April 30, 2017, with a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The amended credit facility includes an accordion feature that permits Harvest to increase the size of the facility to $1.0 billion if Harvest is able to secure additional commitment from an existing or new lender(s). The facility is secured by KNOC’s guarantee (up to $1.0 billion) and by a first floating charge over all of the assets of Harvest and its material subsidiaries. Under the amended credit facility, applicable interest and fees will be based on a margin pricing grid based on the credit ratings of KNOC. The financial covenants under the previous credit facility were deleted and replaced with a new covenant: Total Debt to Capitalization ratio of 70% or less.

Harvest’s primary objective in its management of capital resources is to have access to capital to fund its financial obligations as well as future operating and capital activities. Harvest monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions to remain flexible while meeting these objectives. Accordingly, Harvest may adjust its capital spending programs, issue equity, issue new debt or repay existing debt.
Harvest evaluates its capital structure using the same financial covenant ratio as the ones externally imposed under the Company’s credit facility. Harvest was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2015.

12. Financial Instruments
(a) Fair Values
Financial instruments of Harvest consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, borrowings under the credit facility, risk management contracts, senior notes, related party loans and long term liability. Cash and risk management contracts are the only financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Harvest classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
| Level 1: | quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3: | techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. |

b) Risk Management Contracts
The Company at times enters into natural gas, crude oil, electricity and foreign exchange contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows from some of its forecast sales and purchases, and when allowable, will designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. These derivative contracts are entered for periods consistent with the underlying hedged transactions. Under hedge accounting, the effective portion of the unrealized gains and losses is included in OCL. When the hedged item is settled, the related effective portion of the realized gains and losses is removed from AOCI and included in petroleum and natural gas sales (see note 18). The ineffective portion of the unrealized and realized gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Risk management contracts (gains) losses recorded to income include the ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the gains or losses on the derivatives that were not designated as hedges and the gains or losses subsequent to the discontinuation of hedge accounting on the previously designated derivatives :

(1)The total decommissioning liabilities excludes the Downstream segment.
Harvest estimates the total undiscounted amount of cash flows required to settle its decommissioning and environmental remediation liabilities to be approximately $1.4billion at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $1.4 billion), which will be incurred between 2015 and 2075. A risk-free discount rate of 2.3% (December 31, 2014 – 2.3%) and inflation rate of 1.7% (December 31, 2014 - 1.7%) were used to calculate the fair value of the decommissioning and environmental remediation liabilities.
14. Long-Term Liability
Under the BlackGold oil sands engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract, a maximum of approximately $101 million of the EPC costs will be paid in equal installments, without interest, over 10 years commencing on the completion of the EPC work in 2015. The liability is considered a financial liability and is initially recorded at fair value, which is estimated as the present value of all future cash payments discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for similar instruments. As at March 31, 2015, Harvest recognized a total liability of $78.4 million (December 31, 2014 – $77.8 million) using a discount rate of 4.5% (December 31, 2014 – 4.5%) of which $19.0 million (December 31, 2014 - $19.0 million) is payable in the second quarter of 2015 and has been included with accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Also included in long-term liability and other is an accrual related to Harvest’s long term incentive program of $0.8 million (December 31, 2014 – $2.7 million) as well as deferred credits of $0.4 million (December 31, 2014 – $nil).
