(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars)
WESTPORT INNOVATIONS INC.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and
2012
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Westport Innovations Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Westport Innovations Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Westport Innovations Inc. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matter
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 9, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Westport Innovations Inc.
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Westport Innovations Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V., which was acquired on December 2, 2014 and whose financial statements constitute less than 1 % of both total assets and revenues, respectively, of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the Company and our report dated March 9, 2015 expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements.

Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 |
| 1. | Company organization and operations: |
Westport Innovations Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20, 1995.
The Company is a provider of high-performance, low-emission engine and fuel system technologies utilizing gaseous fuels. Its technology and products enable light (<5.9 litre), medium (5.9 to 10 litre), heavy-duty (11 to 16 litre) and high horsepower (>16 litre) petroleum-based fuel engines to use primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner, more plentiful and generally less expensive alternative fuel.
The Company is focused on developing technology to enable more environmentally sustainable engines without compromising the performance, fuel economy, durability and reliability of diesel engines. The substitution of natural gas for petroleum-based fuel drives a significant reduction in harmful combustion emissions, such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and greenhouse gas, in addition to using an abundant, relatively inexpensive alternative fuel. The Company’s systems can be used to enable combustion engines to use gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, propane, renewable natural gas or hydrogen. The Company’s research and development effort and investment have resulted in a substantial patent portfolio that serves as the foundation for its differentiated technology offerings and competitive advantage.
| 2. | Significant accounting policies: |
| (a) | Basis of presentation: |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Company has sustained net losses over the past several years and as at December 31, 2014 have an accumulated a deficit of $765.0 million. As at December 31, 2014 the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $93.3 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its available cash, its ability to find new sources of financing or raise cash through the sale of assets while in pursuit of operating profitability. Over the past year, the Company has taken immediate actions to right-size the business structure and reduce expenses through activities including staff reductions and deferral of non-core development programs. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability, though further expense reductions may be required. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives. Management believes that the cash balances available as of December 31, 2014, combined with cost cutting measures in place and its ability to find new sources of financing or raise cash through the sale of assets subsequent to the balance sheet date, provides sufficient funds for the Company to meet its obligations beyond the next 12 months. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
| (b) | Foreign currency translation: |
The Company’s reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement presentation is the United States dollar. The functional currencies of the Company’s operations and subsidiaries include the following: United States, Canadian and Australian dollar, Euro, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), and Swedish Krona. The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-US dollar functional currency operations using the period end exchange rates, shareholders’ equity balances using the weighted average of historical exchange rates, and revenues and expenses using the monthly average rate for the period with the resulting exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
| (a) | Foreign currency translation (continued): |
Transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company’s operations or its subsidiaries are translated at the rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the applicable functional currency at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical exchange rate. All foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations, except for the translation gains and losses arising from available-for-sale instruments, which are recorded through other comprehensive income until realized through disposal or impairment.
Except as otherwise noted, all amounts in these financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. For the periods presented, the Company used the following exchange rates:
| | Period end exchange rate as at: | | | Average for the year ended: | |
| | December 31, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | | | December 31, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | |

| (c) | Cash and cash equivalents: |
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, term deposits, bankers acceptances and guaranteed investment certificates with maturities of ninety days or less when acquired. Cash equivalents are considered as held for trading and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
| (d) | Short-term investments: |
Short-term investments, consisting of investment grade commercial paper, banker acceptances, bearer deposit notes, guaranteed investment certificates and other term deposits, are considered available for sale and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. A decline in value that is considered other than temporary is recognized in net loss for the period.

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
| (e) | Accounts receivable, net: |
Accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectibility. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
The Company’s inventories consist of the Company’s fuel system products (finished goods), work-in-progress, purchased parts and assembled parts. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined based on the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. The cost of fuel system product inventories, assembled parts and work-in-progress includes materials, labour and production overhead including depreciation. The Company provides inventory write-downs based on excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. In addition, the Company records a liability for firm, noncancelable, and unconditional purchase commitments with manufacturers for quantities in excess of the Company’s future demand forecast consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.
| (g) | Property, plant and equipment: |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided as follows:
Assets | | Basis | | Rate |
| | | | |
Buildings | | Straight-line | | 15 years |
Computer equipment and software | | Straight-line | | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | Straight-line | | 5 years |

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
| (h) | Long-term investments: |
The Company accounts for investments in which it has significant influence, including VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, using the equity basis of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of income from equity accounted investees in the statement of operations with a corresponding increase in long-term investments. Any dividends paid or payable are credited against long-term investments.
| (i) | Financial liabilities: |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debt and long-term debt are measured at amortized cost. Transaction costs relating to long-term debt are deferred in other assets on initial recognition and are amortized using the effective interest rate method.
| (j) | Research and development costs: |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded net of government funding received or receivable.
| (k) | Government assistance: |
The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs, which is recorded in the period it is received or receivable. Government assistance relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance related to research and development activities is recorded as a reduction of the related expenditures.
Intangible assets consist primarily of the cost of intellectual property, trademarks, technology, customer contracts and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 20 years.
| (m) | Impairment of long-lived assets: |
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such conditions exist, assets are considered impaired if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its carrying amount. An impairment loss is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset as an estimate of fair value.

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
Goodwill is recorded at the time of purchase for the excess of the amount of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and instead is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. This impairment test is performed annually at November 30. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying assets could result in an inability to recover the carrying value of the goodwill, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge.
A two-step test is used to identify a potential impairment and to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired; otherwise, goodwill is impaired and the loss is measured by performing step two. Under step two, the impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill.
Fair value is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, which may include discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses. These types of analyses contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies.
Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time the Company sells its products and are included in cost of revenue. The Company provides warranty coverage on products sold for a period ending two years from the date the products are put into service by customers. Warranty liability represents the Company’s best estimate of warranty costs expected to be incurred during the warranty period. Furthermore, the current portion of warranty liability represents the Company’s best estimate of the costs to be incurred in the next twelve-month period. The Company uses historical failure rates and cost to repair defective products to estimate the warranty liability. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until claims experience becomes available. Product specific experience is typically available four or five quarters after product launch, with a clear experience trend not evident until eight to twelve quarters after launch. The Company records warranty expense for new products upon shipment using a factor based upon historical experience from previous engine generations in the first year, a blend of actual product and historical experience in the second year and product specific experience thereafter. The amount payable by the Company and the timing will depend on actual failure rates and cost to repair failures of its products. Since a number of the Company’s products are new in the market, historical data may not necessarily reflect actual costs to be incurred and may result in significant fluctuations in the warranty liability.

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
The Company sells extended warranty contracts that provide coverage in addition to the basic warranty coverage. Proceeds from the sale of these contracts are deferred and amortized over the extended warranty period commencing at the end of the basic warranty period. On a periodic basis, management reviews the estimated costs expected to be incurred related to servicing these contracts and recognizes a loss to the extent such costs exceed the related deferred revenue. Extended warranty costs are expensed as period costs as incurred.
Product revenue
The Company’s primary source of revenue is from the sale of kits, Westport LNG systems and parts, and Westport CNG and LPG fuel systems for OEMs in the light-duty automotive and industrial markets. Product revenue is recognized when contractual terms are agreed upon, the price is fixed or determinable, the products are shipped and title passes to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from research and development
The Company also earns service revenue from research and development arrangements under which the Company provides contract services relating to developing natural gas engines or biogas engines for use in products and providing ongoing development services to assist with the development and commercialization of products. These contracts provide for the payment for services based on our achieving defined milestones or on the performance of work under product development programs. Revenues are recognized using the milestone method based on assessment of progress achieved against the defined milestones. Revenue may also be recognized using the proportionate performance method of accounting based on the performance of work under the research and development arrangement. There is a risk that a customer may ultimately disagree with our assessment of the progress achieved against milestones or that our estimates of the percentage of work completed could change. Should this occur, the revenues recognized in the period might require adjustment in a subsequent period. All costs incurred related to revenue earned from research and development arrangements are recorded as research and development expense as incurred.
Revenue from contracts
The Company earns revenue under certain contracts to provide engineering development services. These contracts provide for the payment for services based on the performance of work under product development programs. Revenues are recognized under these contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The components to measure percentage of completion are complex and subject to many variables. Components may include estimated costs to complete a contract, estimated hours to completion or management’s assessment of work to be performed. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period the loss is determined. There is a risk that the estimated percentage of completion of a contract may change, which may result in an adjustment to previously recognized revenues. All costs incurred related to revenue earned from contracts are recorded in cost of products sold.

Arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including any combination of products, services, and licenses. In these arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The Company uses a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE), (b) third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), and (c) best estimate of selling price (BESP), which are determined as follows:
VSOE-In limited circumstances are products sold separately in stand-alone arrangements. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices for a product or service falls within a reasonably narrow pricing range, generally evidenced by the pricing rates of approximately 85% of such historical stand-alone transactions falling within plus or minus 10% of the median rate. In addition, the Company considers the geographies in which the products or services are sold, major product and service groups, customer classification, and other environmental or marketing variables in determining VSOE.
TPE-VSOE exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately. When VSOE does not exist, the Company attempts to determine TPE based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. Generally, the Company’s go-to-market strategy for many of its products differs from that of its peers and its offerings contain a significant level of customization and differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality sold by other companies cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Company is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Company is typically not able to determine TPE.
BESP-The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. When both VSOE and TPE do not exist, the Company determines BESP by first collecting all reasonably available data points including sales, cost and margin analysis of the product, and other inputs based on the Company’s normal pricing practices. Second, the Company makes any reasonably required adjustments to the data based on market and Company-specific factors. Third, the Company stratifies the data points, when appropriate, based on customer, magnitude of the transaction and sales volume.
Once elements of an arrangement are separated into more than one unit of accounting, revenue is recognized for each separate unit of accounting based on the nature of the revenue as described above.
Changes in cost estimates and the fair values of certain deliverables could negatively impact the Company’s operating results. In addition, unforeseen conditions could arise over the contract term that may have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results.
License revenue
Revenue from technology license fees is recognized over the duration of the licensing agreement. Amounts received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the accounting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and for loss carry-forwards, tax credits and other tax attributes, using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets to the extent the assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred income tax assets.
The Company uses a two-step process to recognize and measure the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority based solely on the technical merits of the position. A tax benefit that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. To the extent a full benefit is not expected to be realized, an income tax liability is established. Any change in judgment related to the expected resolution of an uncertain tax position is recognized in the year of such a change.

Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 |
| (a) | Adoption of new accounting standards: |
Income taxes:
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11's purpose is to eliminate the diversity in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. Entities are required to present any unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In circumstances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or where the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This new guidance was applied prospectively effective on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
| (b) | New accounting pronouncements: |
Revenue:
In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35,Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Topic 606 is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard.
Going Concern:
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15.Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern outlining management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, along with the required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

| (a) | Acquisition of Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. |
On December 2, 2014 (“the acquisition date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. (“Prins”) for a base purchase price of EUR 12,200 ($15,017). The Company paid cash of EUR 2,500 ($3,112) and assumed debt of EUR 9,700 ($11,905). The results of Prins's consolidated operations have been included since December 2, 2014. Prins is a world leader in the development of alternative fuel systems and provides cost-effective and innovative solutions for a wide range of engine types.
The Company recognized $342 of acquisition related costs in General and Administrative expense under the Corporate and Technology Investments segment during the year ended December 31, 2014.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Intangible Assets
The fair value of intangible assets is $3,024 and is assigned to customer relationships. The intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful life of 5 years.
Inventory
The fair value of $4,975 assigned to inventory was based on estimated selling prices and selling costs associated with the inventory.
Goodwill
Of the total consideration paid, $3,221 has been allocated to goodwill. The entire goodwill recognized is assigned to the Applied Technologies and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Land and Building
The fair value of $3,824 assigned to land and building was based on valuations of similar buildings in the area and will be amortized over its estimated useful life of 15 years.
The consolidated financial statements reflect consolidated revenue and net loss for Prins of $1,196 and $(301), respectively, from December 2, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

BAF is a natural gas vehicle business that supports customers with vehicle conversions under Ford’s Qualified Vehicle Modifier (“QVM”) program. ServoTech is an engineering company that provides a total engineering solution from initial concept phase to prototype hardware and validation.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the acquisition was settled with 816,460 of the Company’s common shares. The number of shares transferred was determined using the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share prior to and including the acquisition date ($30.62 per share). Of the 816,460 common shares, 718,485 shares, with a fair value of $24,091, were issued on the acquisition date and 97,975 shares (“Holdback shares”), with a fair value of $3,285, were issued. The fair value of the shares transferred or to be transferred was determined by the closing share price on the acquisition date ($33.53 per share).
As part of the business acquisition, the Company entered into a marketing agreement (“Marketing Agreement”) with Clean Energy, effective on the acquisition date for a period of two years. The Company was required to make a cash payment of $5,000 to Clean Energy in March 2014. Under the terms of the Marketing Agreement, Clean Energy will provide products and services to the Company.
The products and services received pursuant to the Marketing Agreement have been accounted for as a separate transaction from the business combination and the Company has determined the fair value of these products and services to be $2,678. The fair value has been allocated to the products and services and will be recognized when the goods are received and services performed. The fair value of the products and services of the Marketing Agreement was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.
The excess of the consideration payable of $5,000 and the fair value of the goods and services to be received separate from the business combination of $2,322 has been included as purchase consideration for the acquisition of BAF.
The following table summarizes management’s final fair market valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based on the results of a valuation report issued by a third-party valuation firm.

| (b) | Cummins Westport Inc.: |
The Company entered into a joint venture with Cummins on March 7, 2001. On December 16, 2003, the Company and Cummins amended the joint venture agreement (“JVA”) focusing CWI on developing markets for alternative fuel engines. In addition, the two companies signed a Technology Partnership Agreement that creates a flexible arrangement for future technology development between Cummins and the Company.
On February 20, 2012, the JVA was amended and restated to provide for, among other things, clarification concerning the scope of products within CWI. In addition, the parties have revised certain economic terms of the JVA.
The joint venture has a term of ten years from the date of the JVA and can be terminated under certain circumstances before the end of the term, including in the event of a material breach of the agreement by, or in the event of a change of control of one of the parties.
Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI. Under the new JVA, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established revenue baseline, then any excess profit will be allocated 75% to the Company and 25% to Cummins.
The Company has determined that CWI is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors. No one shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI. The Board of Directors has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the governing documents. As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared. Accordingly neither party is the primary beneficiary.
The Company has not historically provided and does not intend to provide financial or other support to CWI that the Company is not contractually required to provide.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized its share of CWI’s income of $8,136 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $9,433; year ended December 31, 2012 - $13,232), as income from investment accounted for by the equity method.

| 10. | Intangible assets (continued): |
(1) The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Based on the revenue and operating results and decline in the oil price, the Company concluded there were impairment indicators requiring the performance of a long-lived assets impairment test for customer contracts, technology and other intangibles as of November 30, 2014. Accordingly non-cash impairment charges aggregating to $5,823 were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2014 which reduced the carrying values of technology by $115, customer contracts by $4,705 and other intangibles by $1,003 for the On-Road Systems segment.
(2) During the year ended December 31, 2013, there was a significant decline in revenue from the lower than expected adoption rate of natural gas vehicles in our customer contracts. An impairment analysis of the intangibles balance indicated that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of customer contracts. Accordingly, an intangible impairment charge of $1,721 related to customer contracts in Sweden was recognized in the On-Road Systems segment. The fair value of customer contracts was determined using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at a rate equivalent to a market participant’s weighted-average cost of capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, amortization of $4,560 (December 31, 2013 - $4,042; year ended December 31, 2012 - $3,264) was recognized in the statement of operations.
The expected amortization of intangible assets for fiscal 2015 to 2019 is $3,345 per year.
A continuity of goodwill is as follows:
| | December 31, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | |

Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 |
An assessment of the carrying value of goodwill was conducted as of November 30, 2014. Based on the Company’s assessment, it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $18,543 in the On-Road Systems segment for the year ended December 31, 2014. The goodwill impairment charge was driven by the significant decline in the price of oil and a significant loss of revenue from the lower than expected adoption rate of natural gas vehicles.
The remaining goodwill of $23,352 relates to the Applied Technologies segment. The fair value of the segment exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 an assessment of the carrying value of goodwill was conducted as of November 30, 2013. Based on the Company’s assessment, it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $34,964. A goodwill impairment loss of $30,067 and $4,897 was recorded in the Applied Technologies segment and the On-Road Systems segment, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the Applied Technologies segment, the goodwill impairment charge was driven by the adverse economic climate in Europe and other geographic markets and lower than anticipated revenues. In the On-Road Systems segment, the goodwill impairment charge was driven by a significant loss of revenue from lower than expected adoption rate of natural gas vehicles.
For 2013 and 2014, the fair value of the reporting units was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate equivalent to a market participant’s weighted-average cost of capital. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows and the appropriate discount rates are in part based upon historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions.

(a) On September 23, 2011, the Company raised $33,720 (CDN$36,000) through the issuance of debentures to Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. (“Macquarie”) on a private placement basis (the “Initial Debentures”). The Initial Debentures were unsecured and subordinated to senior indebtedness, matured on September 22, 2014, and bore interest at 9% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year during the term, which commenced on March 15, 2012. The Initial Debentures were redeemable at the option of the Company at a price equal to $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount of the debentures on or before March 22, 2013. After March 22, 2013 and before maturity, the debentures were redeemedable at a price equal to $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount.
On June 27, 2014, the Company raised $17,797 (CDN$19,000) through the issuance of debentures to Richardson GMP Limited (“RGMP”), formerly Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. on a private placement basis (the “Additional Debentures”). In conjunction with the issuance of the Additional Debentures, the Company amended the terms of the Initial Debentures (the “Amended Initial Debentures”). The Amended Initial Debentures are rankedpari passu with the Additional Debentures and both shall be treated as the same series of debentures (the “New Debentures”) with the same terms. The New Debentures totaling $51,517 (CDN$55,000) are composed of the Additional Debentures $17,797 (CDN$19,000) and the Amended Initial Debentures $33,720 (CDN$36,000). The New Debentures are unsecured and subordinated to senior indebtedness, mature on September 15, 2017, and bear interest at 9% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year during the term. The New Debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company at a price equal to $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount of the debentures after September 15, 2015 and on or before March 15, 2016. After March 15, 2016 and before maturity, the debentures can be redeemed at a price equal to $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount.
The New Debentures contain an extension option that will allow each debenture holder to have the option to extend, a maximum of six times, the maturity date for an additional period of six months provided that greater than CDN$10,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the New Debentures remain outstanding.
The Company has performed the assessment of embedded derivatives within the New Debentures and concluded that there is an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation related to the extension option from the New Debentures. The extension option was deemed not clearly and closely related to the New Debentures and is separately accounted for as a standalone derivative. The Company recorded this embedded derivative as a non-current liability on its consolidated balance sheet. At issuance on June 27, 2014, the embedded derivative’s fair value was determined to be $1,169 (CDN$1,249), which was recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the New Debentures. The Company is accreting the carrying value of the debt to interest expense by using the effective interest method through to the maturity date of the New Debentures. The Company accreted $82 of the embedded derivative discount for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 $Nil ). The embedded derivative is subsequently adjusted to fair value at each reporting date, with the associated fair value loss (gain) recorded in interest and other income (loss). The fair value adjustment recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $(1,082) (2013 $Nil). The derivative liability is included in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative using the Interest Rate Option Pricing Method which incorporated the Black-Karasinski model.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, a study of the historical data indicated that the cost to repair product defects continued to increase significantly primarily associated with our extended warranty contracts. As a result, the Company recognized a change in estimate in our base warranty liability and a loss on our extended warranty contracts representing the excess of the estimated cost to service these contracts over the amount of the deferred revenue recognized associated with the contracts. The warranty liability was reviewed in the fourth quarter of 2014, and no change in estimate was required.

(a) Italian law requires companies to make a mandatory termination payment to employees. It is paid, as a lump sum, when the employment ends for any reason such as retirement, resignation or layoff. The severance indemnity liability is calculated in accordance with local civil and labour laws based on each employee’s length of service, employment category and remuneration. There is no vesting period or funding requirement associated with the liability. The liability recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is the amount that the employee would be entitled to if the employee terminates immediately. This liability for severance indemnities relates primarily to the Company’s employees in Italy.

At the Company's 2012 annual general meeting, the Company’s shareholders ratified and approved the Westport Omnibus Plan and reserved 8,000,000 common shares under this plan. Under the Westport Omnibus Plan, stock options, Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) may be granted and are exercisable into common shares of the Company for no additional consideration. Any employee, contractor, director or executive officer of the Company is eligible to participate in the Westport Omnibus Plan.
The Executive and Senior Management Compensation Program sets out provisions where the RSUs and PSUs (together the “Units”) will be granted to the Company’s executive management if performance milestones are achieved as determined at the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. These performance milestones are focused on achievement of key cash management, profitability and revenue growth objectives. Vesting periods and conditions for each Unit granted pursuant to the Westport Omnibus Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may include time based, share price or other performance targets.
The Company grants incentive stock options to employees, directors, officers and consultants. Stock options are granted with an exercise price of not less than the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date immediately prior to the date of grant. The exercise period of the options may not exceed eight years from the date of grant. Vesting periods of the options are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may be based on fixed terms, achieving performance milestones or reaching specified share price targets.

No stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.
The fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula simulation with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield - nil%, expected stock price volatility – 47.79%, risk free interest rate – 0.38%; expected life of options – 3 years. The weighted average grant date fair value was $10.97 for options granted for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
As at December 31, 2014, an immaterial amount of compensation cost related to stock option awards has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be fully recognized in 2015.

During 2014, 5,792,162 units (December 31, 2013 - 742,140) were granted to employees. This included 4,820,763 Restricted Share Units (RSUs (2013 - 352,485) and 971,399 Performance Share Units (PSUs) (2013 - 389,655). Values of RSU awards are determined based on the fair market value of the underlying Common Share on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a three year period so the actual value received by the individual depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for Common Shares, not the date of grant. PSU awards do not have a certain number of Common Shares that will issue over time - it depends on future performance and the other conditions tied to the payout of the PSU. Values of PSU awards are determined based on the fair market value of the underlying Common Shares on the date of the grant (and generally assuming the issuance of one Common Share to be issued per PSU), calculated as the number of Common Shares issuable on settlement of the PSUs multiplied by a fair value as determined based on a Monte-Carlo simulation. During 2014, 963,575 PSUs (2013 - 54,876) were canceled or forfeited (2013 - 54,876).
As at December 31, 2014, $30,102 of compensation cost related to Units awards has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.42 years.

The valuation allowance is reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the future periods in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. If the evidence does not exist that the deferred income tax assets will be fully realized, a valuation allowance has been provided.
The deferred income tax assets have been reduced by the uncertain tax position presented in note 19(f).

| 21. | Service and other revenue: |
Service and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of a one-time license revenue of $nil (year ended December 31, 2013 - $nil; year ended December 31, 2012 - $7,923) for the transfer of proprietary know-how, other fee payments of $1,480 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $1,484; year ended December 31, 2012 - $1,414), and service revenue of $11,074 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $14,547; year ended December 31, 2012 - $13,907) under existing development agreements. All costs associated with the development agreements were recorded as research and development expenses in the period incurred.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) to co-develop natural gas technology for off-road equipment, including mining trucks and locomotives. Under the agreement, the Company provided its proprietary know-how related to the high pressure direct injection (“HPDI”) technology by granting a non-exclusive license to the OEM. The Company will also provide ongoing development services to the OEM to assist with the development and commercialization of products. These are considered to be multiple deliverables arrangements and the Company has determined that the license and the development services are separate units of accounting.
| 22. | Commitments and contingencies: |
(a) Contractual Commitments
The Company has obligations under operating lease arrangements that require the following minimum annual payments during the respective fiscal years:
2015 | | $ | 3,946 | |
2016 | | | 4,978 | |
2017 | | | 5,890 | |
2018 | | | 4,969 | |
2019 | | | 4,960 | |
Thereafter | | | 33,125 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 57,868 | |
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred operating lease expense of $3,879 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $5,675; year ended December 31, 2012 - $4,492).
As at December 31, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Emer has provided a total amount of guarantees to third parties of $298, (December 31, 2013 - $342), which include guarantees to its customers for the completion of specific supplies.
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it is obligated to indemnify a third party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise as a result of contracts for sale of the Company’s product to customers where the Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such as product liabilities. The potential impact on the Company’s financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be made and the final outcome of potential claims. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to these types of indemnifications.
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions in the ordinary course or business and believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.

Note 22: Commitments and contingencies (continued):
(b) Purchase Commitments
The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and contract manufacturers. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with suppliers and contract manufacturers. A portion of our reported estimated purchase commitments arising from these agreements are firm, noncancelable, and unconditional commitments. The Company may be subject to penalties, and may lose important suppliers, if it is unable to meet its purchase commitments. In 2014, the Company entered into several long-term fixed price contracts to purchase parts to produce certain products. These contracts represent firm purchase commitments which are evaluated for potential market value losses. The Company estimated a loss on these firm purchase commitments with reference to the estimated future sales price of these products and recognized a provision for inventory purchase commitments of $4,106 in 2014. The provision is recognized in other payables in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (note 12).

| 23. | Segmented information: |
The financial information for the Company’s business segments evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) includes the results of the CWI and WWI as if it were consolidated, which is consistent with the way Westport manages its business segments. As CWI and WWI are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, an adjustment is reflected in the tables below to reconcile the segment measures to the Company’s consolidated measures.
The Company’s business operates in six reportable operating segments:
- Applied Technologies, designs, produces, and sells compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) components and subsystems for natural gas vehicles of all types;
- On-Road Systems, engineers, designs, assembles and sells natural gas engine and vehicle systems for automotive, light commercial, and trucking;
- Off-Road Systems, engineers, designs, and markets Westport proprietary natural gas technologies, including the Westport™ high pressure direct injection (HPDI) technology, Westport™ 2.4L industrial engines and fuel systems for the off-road, large-engine applications such as mine trucks, locomotives, workboats, and petroleum exploration equipment;
- Corporate and Technology Investments, which includes corporate costs such as research and development, general and administrative, marketing, interest and other charges, foreign exchange and depreciation that cannot be attributed to a particular segment and are incurred by all segments;
- CWI which serves the medium- to heavy-duty engine markets with spark ignited natural gas engines. The fuel for CWI engines is typically carried on vehicles as compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas; and
- WWI develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, alternative fuel engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach, and heavy-duty truck applications in China or exported to other regions globally.
These reporting segments offer different products and services and are managed separately as each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
The accounting policies for the reportable segments are consistent with those described in note 2. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on the net operating income (loss), which is before income taxes and does not include depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, foreign exchange gains and losses, bank charges, interest and other expenses, interest and other income, and gain on sale of long-term investments. The Company did not record any intersegment sales or transfers for the year ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

| (a) | Financial risk management: |
The Company has exposure to liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due.

| 24. | Financial instruments (continued): |
(c) Credit risk:
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments by regularly consulting with its current bank and investment advisors and investing primarily in liquid short-term paper issued by Schedule 1 Canadian banks, R1 rated companies and governments. The Company monitors its portfolio, and its policy is to diversify its investments to manage this potential risk.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk with respect to uncertainties as to timing and amount of collectability of accounts receivable and loans receivable. As at December 31, 2014, 87% (December 31, 2013 - 88%) of accounts receivable relates to customer receivables, 1% (December 31, 2013 - 1%) relates to government grants receivable and 12% (December 31, 2013 - 11%) relates to amounts due from joint venture and indirect, income tax and value added taxes receivable. In order to minimize the risk of loss for customer receivables, the Company’s extension of credit to customers involves review and approval by senior management as well as progress payments as contracts are executed. Most sales are invoiced with payment terms in the range of 30 days to 90 days. The Company reviews its customer receivable accounts and regularly recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables as soon as the account is determined not to be fully collectible. Estimates for allowance for doubtful debts are determined by a customer-by-customer evaluation of collectability at each balance sheet reporting date, taking into consideration past due amounts and any available relevant information on the customers’ liquidity and financial position.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable as at December 31, 2014 of $140,854 (December 31, 2013 - $269,919) represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure.
(d) Foreign currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business activities in foreign currencies, primarily the United States dollar (“U.S.”) and the Euro (“Euro”). Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt that are denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and these foreign currencies.

| 24. | Financial instruments (continued): |
| (d) | Foreign currency risk (continued): |
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The U.S. dollar and the Euro carrying amount of financial instruments subject to exposure to foreign currency risk in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is as follows:
| | U.S. dollars | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 69,899 | |
Short-term investments | | | 500 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 14,304 | |
Accounts payable | | | 4,012 | |
| | | Euros | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | € | 9,190 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 38,916 | |
Accounts payable | | | 27,667 | |
If foreign exchange rates on December 31, 2014 had changed by 25 basis points, with all other variables held constant, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have changed by $201 and $51 for US dollar denominated and Euro denominated financial instruments, respectively. The Company’s exposure to currencies other than U.S. dollars and Euros is not material.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on certain long-term debt with variable rates of interest. The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk by continually monitoring and adjusting portfolio duration to align to forecasted cash requirements and anticipated changes in interest rates.
If interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2014 had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have increased or decreased by $52.

| 24. | Financial instruments (continued): |
| (f) | Fair value of financial instruments: |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term period to maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s short-term investments are recorded at fair value. The long-term investment represents our interests in the CWI, WWI and other equity accounted for investees, which are accounted for using the equity method.
The carrying value reported in the balance sheets for obligations under capital lease, which is based upon discounted cash flows, approximates its fair value.
The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for the unsecured subordinated debenture notes (note 13(a)) approximates its fair value, based on market rates of interest for similar indebtedness. Additionally, the interest rate on the notes approximates the interest rate being demanded in the market for debt with similar terms and conditions.
The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for senior financing agreements (note 13(b and c)) approximates their fair values as at December 31, 2014, as the interest rates on the debt is floating and therefore approximates the market rates of interest. The Company’s credit spread also has not substantially changed from the premiums currently paid.
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis into three categories as follows:
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | |
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| | |
| Level 3 – | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1. When necessary, Level 2 valuations are performed based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets and/or model–derived valuations with inputs that are observable in active markets. Level 3 valuations are undertaken in the absence of reliable Level 1 or Level 2 information.
As at December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are included in Level 1.
Other than the shares issued in connection with the earn-out payments as described in note 15b there were no subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date through March 9, 2015, the date when the financial statements were issued.
