Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of TerraVest Industries Inc.
Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP Suite 2000 National Bank Tower 600 De La Gauchetière Street West Montréal, Quebec H3B 4L8
T 514-878-2691
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TerraVest Industries Inc. (hereafter "the Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Information other than the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether

the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 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.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
3
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Nancy Wolfe.

TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
TerraVest Industries Inc. (“TerraVest” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of Alberta and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (equity symbol: TVK). TerraVest’s head office is located at 4901 Bruce Road in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada.
TerraVest is a diversified industrial company that manufactures and sells goods and services to various end-markets including: energy, agriculture, mining, and transportation, among others. TerraVest is focused on acquiring and operating market-leading businesses that will benefit from TerraVest’s financial and operational support. These opportunities generally center on manufactured steel products that complement TerraVest’s existing operations and provide integration benefits.
TerraVest is comprised of three operating segments: Fuel Containment, Processing Equipment and Service.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
TerraVest’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2020.
The following significant accounting policies have been applied to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
2.1 Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption and the historical cost method except for certain financial instruments for which the accounting treatment is described in Note 2.26.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars; TerraVest’s functional currency.
2.3 Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TerraVest and of its subsidiaries. Accounts of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date TerraVest obtains control until the date control ceases. All intercompany balances, revenues and expenses and cash flows are fully eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by TerraVest. Control is achieved when TerraVest has power over the entity, is entitled to returns from the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
TerraVest attributes net income and comprehensive income of subsidiaries between the owners of TerraVest and the non-controlling interest based on their respective ownership interests.

2.4 Foreign currency
Transactions and balances
Each subsidiary of TerraVest determines its own functional currency. Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded in the entity’s functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into the entity’s functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date, whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated using historical exchange rates. All exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of these items and transactions are recorded in the consolidated statement of income as they arise, in other (gains) losses.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations with a functional currency different from that of TerraVest are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date. Revenues and expenses are translated to Canadian dollars using the monthly average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. The exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified in income on disposal or partial disposal of the investment in the related foreign operation.
2.5 Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Consideration transferred in a business combination is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by TerraVest which includes the fair-value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. For each business combination, TerraVest measures the non-controlling interest, if any, at the proportionate share in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred in administration expenses.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value on that date and are classified in accordance with their contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions.
8
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Goodwill, initially recognized at cost as an asset, is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the fair value of the net identified assets and liabilities. If the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests is lower than the fair value of the identified net assets and liabilities, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a bargain purchase gain.
2.6 Segment reporting
TerraVest has three reportable segments as follows:
-
Fuel Containment: is a provider of products and services to a variety of industries across Canada and the United States. The Fuel Containment segment manufactures products including: bulk liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) transport trailers, LPG delivery and service trucks, bulk LPG storage tanks, residential and commercial LPG tanks and dispensers, custom pressure vessels, commercial and residential refined fuel tanks, and furnaces and boilers. This segment sells its products direct to end user and through various distribution networks. The end users of the products are fuel distributors, transportation companies, and industrial, commercial and residential consumers.
-
Processing Equipment: is a fabricator of equipment for various end-markets including: upstream and midstream oil and gas processing, agriculture, transportation and mining. The Processing Equipment segment manufactures and sells a wide array of equipment such as: wellhead processing equipment and tanks, wellhead desanding units, central facilities processing equipment, natural gas liquids (NGL) and LPG storage tanks, anhydrous ammonia storage tanks, bulk NGL and LPG transport trailers, bulk ammonia transport trailers and wagons, compressed gas transport trailers and a wide variety of customized processing equipment for various applications. This segment’s products and services are primarily sold to oil and gas producers, midstream companies, engineering companies, propane distributors, fertilizer distributors and transportation companies.
-
Service: provides well servicing to the oil and gas sector in South‐Western and Central Saskatchewan. The Service segment currently operates 21 service rigs.
An operating segment is a component of TerraVest that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. Each operating segment’s results are regularly reviewed by management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Operating segments can be aggregated into reportable segments when the segments have similar economic characteristics.
Corporate charges, assets and liabilities are not allocated to segments.
2.7 Revenue recognition
TerraVest recognizes revenues from contracts with customers once control is transferred and in an amount equal to the consideration to which TerraVest expects to be entitled.
Product sales are revenues arising from the Fuel Containment and Processing Equipment segments and are recognized at a point of time when the manufacturing of the goods is complete, when the goods leave TerraVest’s premises, or when the goods are delivered to the customer, according to the terms of the contract. The contracts entered into are short-term in nature and revenues are generally recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer by the Fuel Containment segment or when the manufacturing of the goods is complete by the Processing Equipment segment.
Services revenues are revenues arising from the Service segment and are recognized at a point in time, when services are provided.
Where payments have been received, or invoices issued, for product and/or services not yet provided; amounts are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial position and recorded as revenue when the product and/or services have been provided and the requirements for revenue recognition have been met.

TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
2.8 Employee benefits
The costs of all short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
2.9 Government grants
Government grants are recorded when there is a reasonable assurance that the government assistance will be received and that TerraVest will comply with all relevant conditions.
Government grants related to expenses are recorded as a reduction of the related expenses. Government grants with general nature are recorded as other income when they are received. Government tax credits related to assets are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related assets. Government grants and government tax credits recorded are based on management's best estimates of amounts expected to be received and are subject to audit by the taxation authorities.
2.10 Deferred development costs
TerraVest periodically invests in research and development activities to support the launch of new products. All costs incurred in the development of new products are recorded as deferred development costs, in other non-current assets on the consolidated statements of financial position, until the product reaches commercial production. At the commencement of commercial production, the deferred development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
2.11 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, in financing costs.
2.12 Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used in the determination of taxable income. A deferred income tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the underlying income tax attributes giving rise to the asset will be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related income tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities, when they relate to income taxes levied by the same income tax authority and when TerraVest intends to settle its current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the income tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on the income taxation rates (and income taxation laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflects the income tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which TerraVest expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
2.13 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the net income attributable to shareholders of TerraVest’s divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period.
Diluted earnings per share is determined using the same method as basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive instruments outstanding.
2.14 Cash
Cash is comprised of cash on hand and bank balances. Bank overdrafts are presented as current liabilities.

2.15 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes all costs of purchase, manufacturing costs and other costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. Manufacturing costs includes a pro rata share of production overheads based on normal production capacity. The cost of certain inventories is based on weighted average cost while the cost of other inventories is determined using a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
2.16 Assets held for sale
Non-current assets and associated liabilities are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use and a sale is highly probable. Assets designated as held for sale are accounted for at the lower of their carrying amount at designation and fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation is not recognized for property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) classified as held for sale.
2.17 Property, plant and equipment
PP&E are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes acquisition costs or manufacturing costs and any costs directly attributable to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Financing costs are added to the cost of the asset when funds are borrowed specifically for the construction of the asset. When components of an item of PP&E have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of PP&E. The costs of the day-to-day maintenance of PP&E are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an item of PP&E is determined as the difference between the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as other (gains) losses.
PP&E are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the specific asset as follows:
| PP&E are depreciated over the estimated useful life | of the specific asset as follows: |
|---|---|
| Categories | Estimated useful lives |
| Land and buildings | |
| Land | - |
| Buildings | 10 to 25 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of estimated economic life or lease term |
| Machinery and equipment | |
| Production, shop and rental equipment | 5 to 10 years |
| Service rigs | Hours of operation – useful life 2,000 to 48,000 hours |
| Others | |
| Vehicles | 5 to 15 years |
| Office equipment and furnishings | 3 to 10 years |
| Computer hardware and software | 1 to 3years |
Land is not depreciated. An item of PP&E is not depreciated until it can be operated in the manner intended by management. The depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reassessed annually, with the effect of any changes in estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.
2.18 Intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill if they meet the definition of intangible asset and if their fair value can be measured reliably. The cost of these intangible assets equals their acquisition-date fair value. After initial recognition, intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, if they are amortizable, and less accumulated impairment.
11
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight line-basis over their estimated useful lives from the date they are available for use as follows:
| date they are available for use as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Categories | Estimated useful lives |
| Customer-related | |
| Sales order backlog | 5 to 13 months |
| Customer relationships | 7 to 10 years |
| Technology-based | |
| Technologies and technical drawings | 5 years |
| Patents | 10 to 15 years |
| Non-compete agreements | 3 to 5years |
The amortization method and estimated useful lives are reassessed annually, with the effect of any changes in estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives are trademarks. They are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for on a prospective basis.
2.19 Investment in an associate
Investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method.
2.20 Goodwill
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment.
2.21 Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment are recognized in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed only if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exists and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) and no impairment loss had been recognized in previous years.
Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives
The carrying amounts of TerraVest's assets are reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, TerraVest estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are allocated to each of TerraVest’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination, irrespective of whether assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.

2.22 Leases
2.22.1 Leases – Accounting policies applied to the year ended September 30, 2020
At the inception of a contract, TerraVest assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are recognized in the statement of financial position through the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, which are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments using the implicit rate of the lease, if it can be readily determined, or using TerraVest subsidiary’s incremental borrowing rate. Future lease payments include fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and payments for extension and termination or purchase options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. When lease payments include amounts relating to non-rental components, they are included in the calculation of the lease liability. The lease liability is then measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which corresponds to the initial measurement of the lease liability. Cost also includes any initial direct costs incurred, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date, net of any incentives received. The right-of-use asset is included in PP&E in the consolidated statement of financial position. It is then measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.
Variable lease payments not included in the lease liability are recognized in the profit or loss of the period in which the expense occurred.
If a lease is modified or if the lease term is revised, the lease liability is remeasured and a corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset. If the lease modification represents a decrease in the scope of a lease, the difference between the adjustment to the lease liability and the right-of-use asset, if any, is accounted for as a gain or loss upon lease modification. If the lease modification represents a separate lease component, it is accounted for as a separate lease.
2.22.2 Leases – Accounting policies applied to the year ended September 30, 2019
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Payments under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received or granted are recognized in profit or loss as a part of the total lease expense or revenue.
2.23 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when TerraVest has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, if it is more likely than not that TerraVest will be required to settle the obligation, and if a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
2.24 Share premium
Share premium includes the amount paid in excess of, or less than the carrying value of the common shares when TerraVest repurchases its common shares and the difference between the amount paid for the convertible debentures and the carrying value of the liability and equity components of the convertible debentures when TerraVest repurchases its convertible debentures.
2.25 Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at grant date. The value of the compensation for the stock option plan is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The effect of any change in the number of options that are expected to vest is accounted for in the period in which the estimate is revised. Compensation expense
13
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock option, with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve in shareholder’s equity. Any consideration paid by plan participants on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital up to the nominal value of the shares issued with any excess being recorded as share premium.
2.26 Financial instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, TerraVest becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are measured initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.
Classification
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value. Financial assets are subsequently classified and measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at FVTPL. TerraVest classifies its financial assets according to the business model used to manage these financial assets and to the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL.
TerraVest has made the following classifications:
-
Cash, accounts receivable, bank overdrafts, revolving credit facilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividend payable, long-term debt as well as convertible debentures are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; and
-
Derivative financial instruments, investment in equity instruments and contingent considerations are classified as subsequently measured at FVTPL. Gains and losses arising from periodic remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss in other (gains) losses.
Impairment of financial assets
On initial recognition and at each reporting date, TerraVest estimates expected credit losses for financial assets classified at amortized cost. These expected credit losses are measured using historical credit loss experience and are adjusted to reflect receivable-specific factors, general economic conditions, and an assessment of both the current and projected direction of economic conditions at the reporting date, including the time value of money, if applicable. The net change in expected credit losses on financial assets classified at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
If, in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
14
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Equity instruments
Common shares are classified as equity in share capital. Incremental costs attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from share capital in equity, net of any income tax effects.
Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures are classified according to their liability and equity components using the residual approach, whereby TerraVest estimates the fair value of the liability component and assigns the residual value of the convertible debentures to the equity component. Transaction costs related to the issuance of convertible debentures are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the initial carrying values. The liability component is classified as convertible debentures and the equity component is classified as a conversion option and recorded in shareholder’s equity as the equity component of convertible debentures, net of income tax effects.
The discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related liability and recognized in the consolidated statement of income as financing costs. The unamortized discount is accounted for as a reduction of the convertible debentures liability.
Upon conversion of debentures to common shares, a pro rata portion of the convertible debenture liability, convertible debenture equity as well as accrued but unpaid interest, will be transferred to share capital. Upon repurchase of debentures by TerraVest, a pro rata portion of the convertible debenture liability, convertible debenture equity as well as accrued but unpaid interest, will be deducted from the purchase price and the difference reflected in the consolidated statements of income and in share premium. If any convertible debentures mature without being converted, the remaining conversion option balance will remain in shareholders’ equity in accumulated deficit.
Derivative financial instruments
TerraVest uses derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency exposure and interest rate risk. Gains and losses arising from periodic remeasurement of derivative financial instruments that are economic hedges but that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as other (gains) losses.
3. ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for estimates about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised. The actual results of items subject to estimates and assumptions may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The main judgments, estimates and assumptions are as follows:
3.1 Business Combinations
Valuations techniques are used when determining fair values of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Estimates that have an impact on the determination of fair values include the selected weighted average cost of capital, growth rate, and forecast of future cash flows. Refer to Note 5 for more information on valuation techniques used in business combinations.
3.2 Income tax expense
Current and deferred income tax expense, assets and liabilities may require estimates and interpretations of federal and provincial income tax rules and regulations, and judgments as to their interpretation and application to each jurisdiction where TerraVest operates. Determination of deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires judgment as to the reversal of the underlying temporary differences between accounting values and income tax attributes resulting in the deferred income tax assets or liabilities and estimates as to the appropriate income tax rates to apply to determine the future income tax assets or liabilities.
15
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
3.3 Impairment of non-financial assets and goodwill
In assessing impairment, TerraVest estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or CGU based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to calculate present value. Estimation uncertainty relates to the assumptions about future operating results, growth rate and the determination of a suitable discount rate. Refer to Note 12 for the goodwill impairment test disclosures.
3.4 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
Future lease payments used to calculate the value of the right-of-use asset and lease liability include payments for lease extension and termination or purchase options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Determining the economic benefits of exercising these options requires the use of assumptions and estimates such as the future expected use of the leased asset and future market conditions. Whether or not future lease payments relating to the extension, termination or purchase options are taken into account can have a significant impact on the value of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability.
4. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
4.1 Leases
On October 1, 2019, TerraVest adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) using the modified retrospective method, with recognition of transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application, subject to permitted practical expedients, without restatement of comparative figures. IFRS 16 was effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
Under IFRS 16, a lessee is required to recognize: 1) an asset and a liability for every lease with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value and 2) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of income.
As part of the adoption of IFRS 16, TerraVest applied the following practical expedients:
-
did not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. TerraVest applied IFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases” (“IAS 17”);
-
relied on its assessment of whether leases were onerous as at September 30, 2019 in accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” instead of performing an impairment review under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”;
-
excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
-
leases with a term of 12 months or less at the date of initial application were accounted for as short-term leases and thereby recognizing rent payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term; and
-
applied the recognition exemption for leases of low value.
Impact on date of initial application
For leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, TerraVest recognized a lease liability measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using TerraVest subsidiary’s incremental borrowing rate as at October 1, 2019. Right-of-use asset was measured at its carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of each lease, discounted using TerraVest subsidiary’s incremental borrowing rate as at October 1, 2019, adjusted by the amount of any prepaids or accrued lease payments. In the consolidated statement of income, rent expense is replaced by depreciation expense of the right-of-use asset and by interest on the lease liability calculated using the effective interest rate method. TerraVest had no leases classified as finance leases.
16
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
As at October 1, 2019, TerraVest recognized right-of-use assets in PP&E and corresponding lease liabilities, the difference is represented in accumulated deficit as follows:
| As at October | 1, 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | ||
| Property, plant and equipment | 27,085 | |
| Deferred income tax assets | 257 | |
| Current portion of lease liabilitiesi) | 2,486 | |
| Lease liabilitiesi) | 26,469 | |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | (206) | |
| Accumulated deficit | (1,407) |
i) The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities is 4.11%.
The reconciliation between the operating lease commitments disclosed in accordance with IAS 17 as at September 30, 2019 and the lease liabilities recognized as at October 1, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 16 is as follows:
| As at October | 1, 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | ||
| Future minimum operating lease payments as at September 30, 2019 | 36,482 | |
| Other operatinglease commitments as at September 30,2019 | 89 | |
| Commitments under operatingleases as at September 30,2019 | 36,571 | |
| Future minimum operating lease payments as at September 30, 2019 | 36,482 | |
| Recognition exemption for leases with a term of 12 months or less | (283) | |
| Recognition exemption for leases of low value | (190) | |

Determination of fair value
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date was determined based on TerraVest’s assumptions and estimates.
Accounts receivable
Receivables were recognized at their fair value, which is not substantially different from their gross contractual value and expected receipts.
Inventories
Inventories were recognized at their estimated fair value, which is the lower of cost and net realizable value at the transaction closing date. Cost includes all costs of purchase, manufacturing costs and other costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition.
Property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities
PP&E were recognized at their estimated fair value. TerraVest estimated their fair value based on their original cost, acquisition date and net carrying value at the transaction closing date.
TerraVest also recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for acquired assets under leases. The right-of-use assets were measured at the same amount as the lease liabilities. The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of Argo’s future lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate as at December 13, 2019.

The acquisition was done in order to strengthen TerraVest’s presence in the Western Canadian’s oil and gas market. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is mainly attributable to brand recognition and an assembled workforce and is deductible for income tax purposes.
Argo contribution to TerraVest results
TerraVest’s consolidated net income during the year ended September 30, 2020 includes sales of $36,211 and a net loss of $764 generated from Argo’s result since the acquisition date of December 13, 2019.
Due to lack of IFRS-specific data prior to the acquisition of Argo, pro-forma revenue and profit or loss of the combined entity during the year ended September 30, 2020 cannot be determined reliably.
2019 Business Combination
5.2 Acquisition of Iowa Steel Fabrication, LLC
On August 30, 2019, a subsidiary of TerraVest entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Iowa Steel Fabrication, LLC (“ISF”), doing business as Countryside Tank and Majona Steel Corporation. ISF is an Iowa based company primarily focused on manufacturing transportation equipment for the propane and anhydrous ammonia markets as well as structural steel projects.
The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method with the results of operations included in earnings from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related cost of $42 were incurred and recognized as administration expense for the year ended September 30, 2020 ($98 for the year ended September 30, 2019).

The acquisition was done in order to expand TerraVest’s market share, penetrate new markets and increase its presence in the United States and its economies of scale. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and is mainly attributable to the value of an assembled workforce in the United States and a footprint in the Midwest of the United States.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
6.1 Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position and financial instruments measured at cost for which fair value is disclosed are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1: valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3: valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

| 558 | 4,197 |
i) Derivative financial instruments are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.
The fair values of revolving credit facilities, long-term debt and convertible debentures have been determined based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for similar instruments. The fair values of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are not significantly different to their carrying values. The fair value of the investment in equity instruments has been determined based on the quoted price in active markets.
TerraVest’s derivative financial instruments are forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreement which are not traded in active markets. Forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using observable forward exchange rates and interest rates corresponding to the maturity of the contracts. The interest rate swap agreement has been fair valued using observable interest rates corresponding to the maturity of the agreement. The effects of non-observable inputs are not significant for forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreement.
The fair value of contingent considerations was determined based on management’s estimate of expected future cash outflows. The contingent considerations as at September 30, 2019 were current liabilities, therefore the expected future cash outflows were not discounted.

12.2 Impairment testing
TerraVest performed an annual goodwill impairment test. The recoverable values of the CGUs were determined based on value-in-use calculations, covering a five-year forecast, followed by an extrapolation of expected cash flows for the remaining useful lives. The recoverable values of the Fuel Containment and Processing Equipment CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized on goodwill for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Management’s primary assumptions about projected cash flows when determining value in use are as follows:
-
Projected growth over the 5-year forecast period takes into account factors such as the nature of the industry in which the CGU operates, market growth projections, market maturity and TerraVest’s strategic plan as set by management; and
-
The discount rate reflects appropriate adjustments relating to market risk and specific risk factors of each CGUs.

| Projected growth – thereafter | 2.00 | 2.00 | 2.00 | 2.00 |
| Discount rate | 9.05 | 10.60 | 10.40 | 13.55 |
TerraVest projected no growth in the Processing Equipment CGU for fiscal 2021 as a conservative forecast for the goodwill impairment test due to the impact of COVID-19 and a return to usual projected 2% growth in fiscal 2022 and after with pre-COVID-19 sales level in fiscal 2023.

During the year ended September 30, 2020, 167,500 stock options were settled for total cash consideration of $1,178 and no stock options were exercised or forfeited. In addition, TerraVest granted 100,000 stock options to key management personnel. The option grant price is equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of TerraVest on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the date of grant. The stock options granted expire seven years from the grant date, may only be exercised for common shares of TerraVest and vest as follows:
-
1/3 on the first anniversary date of the grant date;
-
1/3 on the second anniversary of the grant date; and
-
1/3 on the third anniversary of the grant date.
The grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the period was $1.86 per option. The fair value of each option granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates the following assumptions:
| Options granted | 100,000 |
|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.58% |
| Expected dividend yield | 3.05% |
| Expected volatilityi) | 17.71% |
| Option life | 7 years |
| Forfeiture rate | Nil |
| Liquidity discount | 20% |
| Grant date share price | $14.96 |
| Exercisepriceper share | $13.12 |
i) The underlying expected volatility was determined by reference to historical data of TerraVest’s shares price on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, 398,000 stock options were exercised by way of cashless exercises. As a result, TerraVest issued 205,098 common shares at a weighted average share price of $12.99 per common shares based on the average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise dates of the stock options. The total value of the issued common shares represented the intrinsic value of the 398,000 stock options at the exercise dates and was recorded in share premium.

Leases, for which an amount of $9,772 was recognized in PP&E and lease liabilities during the year ended September 30, 2020 ($nil during the year ended September 30, 2019), had no cash impact on investing and financing activities. Purchase of PP&E of $219 was unpaid and recorded as accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at September 30, 2020 ($932 as at September 30, 2019).
24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISKS
TerraVest is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main type of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. An analysis of these risks as at September 30, 2020, is provided below.
24.1 Market risk
TerraVest is exposed to market risk, through its use of financial instruments, specifically to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and certain commodity price risk.
39
TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the Canadian dollar. TerraVest is subject to foreign currency risk for:
-
sales and operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies made by Canadian entities; and
-
financial instruments denominated in foreign currency in Canadian entities.
| As at | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2020 | September 30, 2019 | |
| US$ | US$ | |
| Financial assets and liabilities exposure | ||
| Cash | 14,477 | 3,737 |
| Trade and other receivables | 5,627 | 5,031 |
| Investment in equity instruments | 115 | - |
| Accountspayable and accrued liabilities | (1,678) | (2,672) |
| 18,541 | 6,096 |
Based on the net U.S. dollar exposure as at September 30, 2020, a one cent increase in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had a favorable impact of $185 on net income ($44 for the year ended September 30, 2019). A one cent decrease in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had an impact of a similar magnitude but in opposite directions on net income.
TerraVest does not have a policy to hedge its foreign currency risk and manages its exposure to foreign currency risk by periodically entering into forward exchange contracts. As at September 30, 2020, TerraVest had forward exchange contracts totaling $29,792 ($30,928 as at September 30, 2019) outstanding to sell, at various rates and expiring on various dates up to and including July 28, 2023. The fair value of forward exchange contracts was a liability of $391 as at September 30, 2020 ($663 as at September 30, 2019) included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Interest rate risk
TerraVest does not have a policy to hedge its interest rate risk and is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates on revolving credit facilities and long-term debt at variable interest rates. On June 3, 2020, TerraVest entered into an interest rate swap agreement expiring on June 9, 2025 for the notional amount of $25,000. Under the interest rate swap agreement, TerraVest receives interest on the notional amount at the 1-month CDOR rate in exchange for payments at a fixed rate of 0.87%, plus 140 to 265 basis points based on a prescribed ratio. The fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $167 as at September 30, 2020 included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
For the year ended September 30, 2020, a 1% increase in the interest rate would have had an unfavorable impact of $676 on net income ($708 for the year ended September 30, 2019), calculated using the average outstanding balances during the year on revolving credit facilities and long‐term debt at variable interest rates. A 1% decrease in the interest rate would have had an impact of a similar magnitude but in opposite directions on net income.
Commodity price risk
TerraVest is sensitive to changes in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas. Fluctuations in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas have an indirect impact on TerraVest’s portfolio businesses operating in the oil and natural gas sectors. The indirect impact is the effect that the price variations have on activity levels for customers of those portfolio businesses and, therefore, the demand for goods and services. The indirect impact is not quantifiable.
24.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform its obligations to TerraVest. TerraVest’s credit risk comes mainly from accounts receivable and is mitigated through credit policies that limit transactions according to counterparties’ creditworthiness, which is assessed by considering counterparties’ financial position, past experience and other factors. In addition, a large majority of TerraVest’s clients are well established companies with a history of prompt

TERRAVEST INDUSTRIES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended September 30, 2020 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
payment. Accounts receivable amounts are presented on the consolidated statements of financial position net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In measuring the expected credit losses, the trade receivables have been assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profile for sales based on historical credit losses. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make payments within 180 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with TerraVest on alternative payment arrangement, amongst other, may be considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery. The credit risk on cash is considered negligible since cash is held in reputable financial institutions with high quality external credit ratings. TerraVest’s maximum exposure to credit risk is $72,062 as at September 30, 2020 ($59,779 as at September 30, 2019).
24.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of TerraVest not being able to meet its financial obligations when due. TerraVest’s objective is to maintain cash and cash availability to meet its liquidity requirements. TerraVest monitors its cash and trade receivable balances as well as cash flows generated from operations to meet its financial obligations. TerraVest also has access to various authorized revolving credit facilities to manage its liquidity need.
As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, TerraVest contractual financial liabilities maturities are as follows:

The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management. TerraVest intends to maintain a flexible capital structure that is consistent with its stated objectives and adjust it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying instruments. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, TerraVest may, from time to time, acquire shares for cancellation in connection with an SIB or an NCIB, issue new shares, raise capital through various debt instruments or refinance current debt through instruments with different characteristics.
26. CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, TerraVest is exposed to various proceedings and claims. TerraVest assesses the validity of these proceedings and claims. Provisions are made whenever a penalty seems probable and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount.

29. IMPACT OF COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic due to the novel COVID-19 which continues to spread in Canada and around the world. The situation is constantly evolving, and the measures put in place are having multiple impacts on local, provincial, national and global economies.
Management is closely monitoring the situation and has put various response plans in place to keep employees, customers and vendors safe and to continue operations. As at September 30, 2020, TerraVest is aware of changes in its operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel restrictions, reduced activities of some of its manufacturing facilities, temporary lay-offs of employees and temporary reduction of executive salaries and board of directors remuneration.
During the year ended September 30, 2020, certain Canadian subsidiaries of TerraVest’s received government subsidies totaling $13,393, of which $12,553 has been recognized in net income. Government subsidies helped maintain employment during a period where revenues have been temporarily reduced.
Management continues to monitor and assess the ongoing development and respond accordingly. The impacts, if any, will be accounted for when they are known and may be assessed.
30. FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
30.1 Business combination – Definition of a business
On October 22, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations , that seek to clarify whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition. The amendments apply to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If a preparer chooses not to apply the concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process. TerraVest will adopt these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after October 1, 2020.
