The Company’s web site address is www.xebecinc.com.
The continued spread of COVID-19 around the globe and the responses of governmental authorities and corporate entities, including through mandated or voluntary shutdowns, have and may continue to lead to a general slow-down in the economy and to disruptions to our work force and facilities, our customers, our sales and operations and our supply chain.
The full extent and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and at this stage the future is very difficult to project.
The Company’s bad debt expense may increase, revenues and cash resources may be negatively affected, and the Company may need to assist potential customers with obtaining financing or government incentives to help them fund their purchases of our products. Any temporary suspension of production in Xebec facilities, or those of any of its suppliers, partners or customers, as a direct result of COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
-
the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
-
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
-
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between different entities within the Company are eliminated. Subsidiaries comprise Xebec Holding USA Inc., Xebec Shanghai Co. LT (until its deconsolidation as at June 25, 2021) Xebec Adsorption Europe SRL, Xebec Europe B.V., Xebec Holding UK Limited, Compressed Air International Inc., Applied Compression Systems Ltd. (ACS), Xebec RNG Holdings Inc., all of which are wholly owned and GNR Bromont L.P, which is 99% percent owned.
Xebec Adsorption Inc. owns 100% of GNR Québec Capital Management Inc. and 49.9995% of GNR Québec Capital S.E.C. The remaining 50.0% of GNR Québec Capital S.E.C. is 49.9995% owned by Fonds de solidarité FTQ (“FTQ”) and 0.001% owned by GNR Québec Capital Management Inc. The Company does not have full control over GNR Québec Capital Management Inc. and GNR Québec Capital S.E.C. Consequently, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
Xebec Holding USA Inc. has five wholly owned subsidiaries: Xebec Adsorption USA Inc., CDA Systems LLC., Enerphase Industrial Solutions Inc. (Airflow), The Titus Company (Titus) and Nortekbelair Corporation (Nortec).
Xebec RNG Holdings Inc. has one wholly owned subsidiary: GNR Bromont Management Inc. GNR Bromont Management Inc. owns the 1% remaining of GNR Bromont L.P.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Xebec Europe B.V. has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Xebec Deustchland GmbH and Green Vision Holding B.V. Green Vision Holding B.V fully owns HyGear Technologies and Services B.V. which has six wholly owned subsidiaries: HyGear Operations B.V., HyGear B.V., HyGear Asia PTE LTD, HyGear Fuel Cell B.V. and HyGear Hydrogen Plant B.V. and Buse – HyGear LTD which is 50% owned. HyGear LTD is expected to start its activities in the first quarter of 2022. Xebec Deustchland GmbH fully owns Inmatec Gase Technologie GmbH & Co. KG, Inmatec GmbH and Inmatec Gas Technology FZC RAK.
Xebec Holding UK Limited owns 100% of Tiger Filtration Limited (Tiger).
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Changes in the Company's ownership interests in subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions or liability transactions depending on the conditions that these changes occurred. The carrying amounts of the Company's interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost.
Cash Restricted cash Trade and other receivables Finance lease receivables
Bank loan Trade, other payables and accrued liabilities Long-term debt Government royalty program obligation Obligation arising from shares issued by a subsidiary
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs where applicable.
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
-
Amortized cost
-
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Xebec Adsorption Inc.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
In the periods presented, the Company does not have any financial assets categorized as FVTPL or FVOCI.
The classification is determined by both the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in income or loss are presented within finance expenses or finance income, except for impairments of trade receivables which are presented within selling and administrative expenses.
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the assets meet the following conditions and are not designated as FVTPL:
-
They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows.
-
The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows on the instrument. If the financial instrument has not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or has low credit risk, the Company considers that there are no expected credit losses.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
-
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (“Stage 1”), and
-
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk in not low (“Stage 2”).
“Stage 3” would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
“12-month expected credit losses” are recognized for the first category while “lifetime expected credit losses” are recognized for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair-value through profit or loss.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in income or loss are included within finance expense or finance income.
Revenues from contracts with customers
The Company earns revenues mainly from the sale of natural gas dryers, air dryers and hydrogen purification solutions (commercial equipment). The Company recognizes revenue on commercial equipment sales when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and delivery has occurred. These criteria are generally met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and, depending on the delivery conditions, title and risk have passed to the customer. Provisions are established for estimated product returns and warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized. Cash received in advance is recorded as contract liabilities.
Revenues from long-term production-type contracts such as biogas purification equipment and engineering service contracts are determined under the percentage-of-completion method whereby revenues are recognized based on the costs incurred to date in relation to the total expected costs of a contract (costs being composed mainly of materials and labour). Costs and estimated profit on contracts in progress in excess of amounts billed are reflected as contract assets. Cash received in advance of revenues being recognized on contracts is recorded as contract liabilities.
The Company monitors its contracts with customers on a regular basis to determine if a loss is likely to occur. If a loss is anticipated on a contract, the entire estimated loss is recorded as a cost of goods sold in the year in which the loss becomes evident and reasonably estimable.
Revenues are measured based on the price specified in the sales contract, net of discounts and estimated returns at the time of sale. Historical experience is used to estimate and provide for discounts and returns.
Revenues for contracts in China were recognized (before June 25, 2021 deconsolidation) upon completion and the Company could determine that control had been transferred to the customer in accordance with the agreed-upon specifications in the contract.
Revenues from services are recorded when services have been rendered. For contract services that last over a year, revenue is recognized over the duration of the contract.
Gases generators and installation revenue comprises the sale of assets which are manufactured based on the customer specific needs and requirements. The Company considers these contracts as one performance obligation. The Company manufactures an asset which would have no alternative use in its completed state and the Company is entitled to receive consideration during the manufacturing period. Consideration received is not refundable to customers to the extent that costs have been incurred during the manufacturing process. The Company recognises revenue over the time of the manufacturing process. Revenue is measured using the input method whereby revenue is recognised based on the pro rata cost incurred in relation to the total
(6)
Xebec Adsorption Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
estimated cost to manufacture. The manufacturing process for an asset is estimated to be less than 12 months based on experience. The Company therefore applies the practical expedient in IFRS 15.63 whereby an entity does not adjust the consideration to be received for the effects of a significant financing component.
Service and maintenance revenue comprises the after-sale maintenance and servicing of the asset which was transferred to the customer on an annual subscription contract. The service and maintenance revenue is a distinct performance obligation to provide an undefined quantity of services over the duration of the contract period. A portion of the transaction price is therefore allocated to service and maintenance based on the stand-alone selling price of those services. Discounts are not considered as they are only given in rare circumstances and are never material. Revenue is recognised over the duration of the contract.
Revenues from Gas-as-a-Service (GaaS) are addressed in lease section.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and all attached conditions will be met. The Company’s grants are related to an expense item and recognised as income on a systematic basis over the period the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Government grants are deducted from the respective expense lines unless they relate to R&D projects in which case they are presented as governments grants under total income.
Non-refundable grants relating to property, plant and equipment are accounted for as deferred government grants and amortized on the same basis as the related assets.
Research and experimental development tax credits are recognized using the cost reduction method when there is reasonable assurance of their recovery. Investment tax credits are subject to the customary approvals by the pertinent tax authorities. Adjustments, if required, are reflected in the year when such assessments are received.
Segment reporting
The Company operates three business segments:
-
1) Systems (Cleantech) – Includes Renewable Natural Gas, Hydrogen and Renewable Hydrogen for a variety of applications, from fuel cells to fossil fuel replacement applications for low carbon transportation fuels.
-
2) Infrastructure (Renewable Gas Generation) – Project development of renewable natural gas production facilities, in the build, own and operate (BOO) model that will generate low-carbon renewable transport fuels and carbon credits.
-
3) Support (Industrial Air and Gas Products, Parts, Service and Operational Support) – foundational recurring revenue model.
(7)
Xebec Adsorption Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
For management purposes, the Company uses the same measurement policies as those outlined in its financial statements.
In addition, corporate assets are used by each segment and are therefore not attributable to any segment specifically.
Contract balances
Contract assets are recognized when goods or services are transferred to customers before consideration is received or before the Company has an unconditional right to payment for performance completed to date. Contract assets are subsequently transferred to receivables when the right of payment becomes unconditional. Contract assets include costs incurred and recorded margins in excess of advances and progress billings on long-term contracts.
Contract liabilities are recognized when amounts are received from customers in advance of transfer of goods or services. Contract liabilities are subsequently recognized in revenue as or when the Company performs under contracts. Contract liabilities include advances and progress billings in excess of long-term contracts cost incurred and recorded margins.
A net position of contract asset or contract liability is determined for each contract. The cash flows in respect of advances and progress billings are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset when those costs are expected to be recovered.
Costs that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognized as an expense when incurred, unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained.
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred because those costs are not expected to be recovered and are not charged to the customer.
Remaining performance obligations
The Company’s contracts are for delivery of goods within the 12 months following a contract’s signature; therefore, the Company uses the practical expedient allowed in Paragraph 121(a) of IFRS 15.
Following Paragraph 121(a), the Company does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at the end of the reporting period.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Leases
The Company as a lessee:
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability with respect to a lease on the date the underlying asset is available for use by the Company (hereafter, the ‘commencement date’). Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, including the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments on or after the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of all of the costs for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received, including deferred rent. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The depreciation is recognised in a manner consistent with existing standards for property, plant and equipment over the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The interest expense relating to lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
New right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are non-cash transactions and thus excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company as a lessor:
As part of its normal business activity, the Company enters into lease contracts whereby gas generation technologies are manufactured and placed at customer premises in order for the customer to have on-demand gas supply (Gas-as-a-Service). Depending on the lease contracts, the Company either classifies the leases as operating or finance leases.
To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, the lease is classified as finance lease, if not, the lease is classified as an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease term is for a majority of the economic life of the assets.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the lease arrangement.
Income from operating lease contracts is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under revenue.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised at the amount of the Company’s net investment in the leases (finance leases receivables). Finance lease income, presented within
(9)
Xebec Adsorption Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
finance income, is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company reviews the estimated unguaranteed residual value and applies the expected credit loss model to recognise a provision on its finance lease receivables.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency:
Items included in the financial statements of each entity consolidated in the Company group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
The financial statements of entities that have a functional currency different from that of the Company (foreign operations) are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the year (to the extent this is considered a reasonable approximation to actual rates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as cumulative translation adjustment.
When an entity disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the subsidiary is reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.
Use of estimates and judgments
When preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Company’s last annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
3 Business combinations
- 1) During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired the following subsidiaries:
a) Enerphase Industrial Solutions Inc. (Air Flow)
On July 31, 2020, Xebec Holding USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc., acquired all of the outstanding securities of Enerphase Industrial Solutions Inc.

alternative fuel, waste-to-energy, research, power generation, mining and manufacturing industries. ACS can supply either standard units or design and fabricate equipment that is custom-built to specific requirements from concept to completion.
ACS generated revenues of $949K and a net loss of $99K after the intercompany eliminations for the period from September 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
If ACS had been acquired on January 1, 2020, revenue of the Company for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020 would have been $60,736K and the net loss for the period would have been ($29,622K).
c) The Titus Company
On October 30, 2020, Xebec Holding USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc., acquired all of the outstanding shares of “The Titus Company” (Titus) for a purchase price of $8,236K ($6,184K USD). The purchase agreement included an amount of $840K USD (par value $1,000K USD) which will be payable over the next three years (Note 10a).
Founded in 1986 in Pennsylvania, Titus has been in partnership with large and small companies throughout the Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey regions and provides superior expertise and the capability to serve a wide range of needs. The Titus Company is also the largest supplier of air dryers to the United States Navy. With this acquisition, Xebec’s Cleantech Service Network (CSN) coverage expands to include Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
Titus generated revenues of $1,478K and a net profit of $285K for the period from November 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
If Titus had been acquired on January 1, 2020, revenue of the Company for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020 would have been $67,287K and the net loss for the period would have been ($30,651K).
d) Nortec
On April 30, 2021, Xebec Holding USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc., acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tennessee based Nortekbelair Corporation (Nortec) for a purchase price of $9,293K ($7,565K USD) through a combination of cash on hand, of which $4,242K ($3,453K USD) was paid in cash on closing, and 735,838 common shares of Xebec issued to the seller at a fair value of $4.33 per share, the closing price of Xebec’s shares on April 30, 2021. The purchase agreement includes an additional contingent consideration of $1,619K ($1,318K USD) payable based on achievement of sales targets over the next three years (Note 10a).
Nortec was founded in 2008 based on three key pillars of performance: quality, perfection and innovation. Although the company was founded in 2008, Nortec’s origins in the compressed air industry go back several decades. Nortec specializes in compressed air drying and industrial systems, and the company’s systems are used in a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from

small shops to major manufacturing plants. Nortec’s principal will remain with the Company after the acquisition and continue his focus on R&D and product development within the company.
Nortec generated revenues of $745K and a net profit of $38K for the period from May 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
If Nortec had been acquired on January 1, 2021, revenue of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 would have been $55,370K and the net loss for the period would have been ($16,268K).
e) Tiger
On June 11, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of United Kingdom based Tiger Filtration Limited (Tiger) for a total consideration of $20,086K (£ 11,734K) subject to certain holdbacks and adjustments. The purchase agreement includes an additional contingent consideration of $2,112K (par value £1,500K) payable based on achievement of sales targets over the next two years (Note 10a).

The application of IFRS requires management to determine the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed (with certain exceptions). As the acquisition closed on December 31, 2020, management has not completed its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The values included in the table above are based on the book value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As management completes its assessment of the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, there could be material adjustments to the assets and liabilities outlined above.
(16)
Xebec Adsorption Inc.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
The fair values outlined above are provisional and subject to revision as a result of information discovered after the acquisition date that relates to events and conditions at the acquisition date. The period when such revisions may be made is not more than 12 months from the date of the acquisition. Any such revisions made could be material. In particular, the valuation of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, inventory and debt are provisional and subject to the finalization of independent valuations.
Included in the net assets acquired is HyGear’s sponsored defined benefit plan, which includes certain HyGear employees in the Netherlands. The plan’s obligation is HyGear’s, but has been reinsured by an external third party for the full amount of the obligation. The value of the obligation is in the range of $900K but is offset by an asset of the same amount representing the amount recoverable from reinsurance. Therefore, the net of the asset and obligation is $NIL. HyGear also offered a defined contribution retirement benefit plans to its employees.
The goodwill is attributable to the fact that the acquisition is expected to allow Xebec to enter new markets, launch new product offerings and execute and accelerate its distributed renewable gas strategy.
Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related costs amounting to $2,551K ($2,377K as at December 31, 2020) are not included as part of consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, as part of selling and administrative expenses.
As the acquisition of HyGear closed on December 31, 2020, the acquisition did not have an impact on revenues and net income for the year ended December 31, 2020. Had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2020, the pro forma revenues and net income (loss) of the Company would have been $61,384K and ($36,995K), respectively.
3) Inmatec
On February 22, 2021, Xebec Deustchland GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc, acquired 100% of Inmatec Gase Technologie GmbH & Co. KG, Inmatec GmbH and Inmatec Gas Technology FZC RAK (collectively “Inmatec”) in the United Arab Emirates for an aggregate consideration of $36,706K (23,916K €) including a balance of acquisition payable of $2,456K (1,600K €). The transaction was financed with the proceeds from the public offering that closed December 30, 2020 and the concurrent private placement with Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (“CDPQ”).
Founded in 1993, Inmatec is an international market leader in the production of nitrogen generators and oxygen generators. Designed, developed and produced in Germany, over 8,000 Inmatec systems have been deployed and sold around the world. Its German manufacturing and engineering capabilities have resulted in a reputation for high quality and extremely reliable products. Inmatec’s products and manufacturing are among the best-in-class and this acquisition gives Xebec an accelerated entry into offering these products in North America.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test. The recoverable amount, which is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCTS”) or value in use (“VIU”), was compared to the carrying amount of the CGU to determine whether or not an impairment loss should be recorded against the goodwill.
FVLCTS was determined using the prior transaction method (market approach). VIU was determined using the discounted future cash flow method (income approach), covering a detailed five-year forecast, using a discount rate from 15.7% to 24% and a growth rate of 3%. The growth rate reflects the minimum long-term growth rate for the acquisitions. The discount rate reflects appropriate adjustments relating to market risk and specific risk factors of the subsidiaries. Management’s key assumptions include stable gross profit margins of the forecast based on past experience.
The recoverable amounts were estimated to be higher than the carrying amounts and no impairment was required.

11) Obligation arising from shares issued by subsidiary
In September 2015, as a result of a Sino-foreign equity joint venture agreement, Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption Inc. (“Xebec”), issued 1,714,285 common shares, representing a 30% participation, to Shanghai Chengyi New Energy Venture Capital Co. Ltd. (28.26%), an investment subsidiary of Shanghai based Shenergy Group, Shanghai Zhiyi Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd. (0.1%) and Shanghai Liuhuan Investment Co. Ltd. (1.64%), a company held by a group of employees of Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., (collectively the “Minority Shareholders”) for a net cash consideration of $3,423K (RMB 16,370K).
Pursuant to this agreement, Xebec has the obligation to repurchase the Minority Shareholders’ interest in Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., for a consideration of no less than the initial investment and annualized return of 10% if a) the achievement of specific financial targets were not achieved in any given year prior to December 31, 2020, or b) should the Minority Shareholders not divest by December 31, 2020 and should the Minority Shareholders exercise their put option with respect to a) or b) as mentioned above.
On July 24, 2018, the Minority Shareholders of Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. and Xebec Adsorption Inc. agreed that Xebec Adsorption Inc. will pay the Minority Shareholders $186K (RMB 1 million) per year including 2018 until the EDC loan expiry or latest up to December 31, 2020 (whichever is earlier). The annual fees will be considered a deduction to the repurchase price at the time of repurchase.
In 2020 and 2021 no payments of the annual fee were processed. A conditional amount of $1,731K was paid in December 2020 based of the achievement of some performance targets as agreed by both parties.
On July 25, 2018, the Minority Shareholders of Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd, agreed that, for a period beginning on the date hereof up to the date that Export Development Canada has been repaid in full (including capital, interests and fees) under the EDC Financing Arrangement, it shall not exercise any of its divestment, refund, compensation and other equity repurchase rights.
Xebec recorded the proceeds from this transaction, as a financial liability in these consolidated financial statements. The obligation to repurchase and the related annualized return is presented under “Obligation arising from shares issued by a subsidiary”. The conversion of the financial liability denominated in the functional currency of our subsidiary Xebec Adsorption (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (RMB) will be converted at the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period with gain and losses presented in the statement of income (loss) under “Gain/Loss on conversion of shares issued by a subsidiary”.
On June 25, 2021, a new partnership with Shanghai based Shenergy Group Company Limited was approved by the Chinese authority. Xebec Shanghai received a direct equity investment of $3,400K in exchange for the debt and interest owed by Xebec for its share buyback obligation. Xebec Adsorption Inc. participation reduced from 70% to 60% resulting in a change of control thus Xebec Shanghai have been deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Following this transaction, the investment in the new partnership will be recognised and presented as an equity investment. Furthermore, the profit resulting from the deconsolidation is preliminary, subject to obtaining the evaluation of the investment’s fair value.

The carrying values of cash, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, accrued liabilities and bank loan approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
-
Long-term debt (classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy): The Company’s longterm debt carry fixed interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations has been calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the long-term debt at the interest rate of similar debt instruments.
-
Government royalty program obligation (classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy): Fair value of the government royalty program obligation has been calculated by discounting the future cash flows at the interest rate for a similar loan in the market.
-
Obligation arising from shares issued by a subsidiary (classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy): Fair value of the obligation arising from shares issued by a subsidiary has been calculated by computing an annualized return of 10% on the initial consideration
-
The Company’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value and financial instruments measured at amortized cost for which the fair value is disclosed are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1 — Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(57)
Xebec Adsorption Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
Level 2 — Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 — Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
22) Subsequent event
