NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Unaudited (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of operations

Clarke Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 9, 1997 pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act. The head office of the Company is located at 145 Hobsons Lake Drive, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Company is an investment holding company with investments in a diversified group of businesses, operating primarily in Canada. The Company continuously evaluates the acquisition, retention and disposition of its investments. Changes in the mix of investments should be expected. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2020.

Basis of presentation and statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting . The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements as were followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Principles of consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The significant subsidiaries of the Company are Holloway Lodging Corporation (“Holloway”) and, prior to September 1, 2020, La Traverse Rivière-du-Loup – St-Siméon Limitée (“La Traverse”). La Traverse was amalgamated with the Company effective September 1, 2020. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. All subsidiaries have the same reporting year end as the Company, and all follow the same accounting policies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. The continued spread of COVID-19 and the actions being taken by governments, businesses, and individuals to limit this pandemic have adversely impacted the Company’s operations, particularly the hotel and ferry operations. This has resulted in significant economic uncertainty, of which the potential impact on our future financial results is difficult to reliably measure. The Company began to feel the impact of COVID-19 in its hotel occupancy levels commencing in mid-March 2020 and closed six of its hotels to streamline and manage costs. All six hotels were reopened during the second and third quarters. The Company is actively monitoring the situation and will continue to respond as the impact of the pandemic evolves.

Due to the decline in hotel operations, the Company performed a revaluation analysis on 15 of its hotels during the first quarter and recorded a revaluation loss in the amount of $18,800. Revaluations were not taken on two hotels which were not expected to see a material decline in operations. The Company expects a recovery over time of its hotel operations, and as such, had used a five-year discounted cashflow model to assess fair value. This approach was a change from the capitalized income model typically used by the Company as it more accurately factored in a recovery of financial results and cashflows over a future timeframe. The revaluation model was prepared internally. The source of the discount and terminal capitalization rates used were consistent with those used as part of the Holloway purchase price allocation recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2019. These rates were obtained from an independent third party and have been risk-adjusted in the analysis to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONT’D)

Key factors of estimation uncertainty used in the internal model included the cashflow forecasts, the discount rates, and the terminal capitalization rates. The discount rates ranged from 9.5% – 13.0% and the capitalization rates ranged from 9.0% – 11.0%. The cashflow forecasts were performed on a hotel-by-hotel basis. The forecast in year one of the model was consistent with the Company’s updated operational forecast. In years two through five of the internal models, cashflows were based on a gradual recovery as a function of the respective historical results. If the discount rates had been 0.25% higher/lower, the estimated fair value would result in a change of $1,300 to property and equipment and the revaluation of hotel properties. If the terminal capitalization rates had been 0.25% higher/lower, the estimated fair value would result in a change of $2,300 to property and equipment and the revaluation of hotel properties. The revaluation model is updated quarterly, and no additional revaluations were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s property and equipment will continue to be closely monitored as the pandemic evolves. As clarity on the Company’s outlook is obtained, additional revaluation increases, or decreases may be required.

The Company did not record a fair value adjustment on its investment properties during the first quarter as the COVID-19 pandemic had not had a material impact on the operations or expected cashflows of those assets. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial instruments, including its liquidity risk and credit risk is disclosed in note 15.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

On March 25, 2020, the Company completed a dividend-in-kind on its common shares in the form of a pro rata distribution of the 5,386,440 common shares of TerraVest Industries Inc. (“Terravest”) that it owned. The dividend was paid to shareholders of the Company of record at the close of business on March 18, 2020 in the amount of $58,120, which was the closing price of Terravest common shares on the record date. The Board of Directors of the Company determined the fair market value of the dividend to be $5.49 per Clarke common share when the dividend was announced. In accordance with the Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Indenture governing the Company’s unsecured subordinated convertible debentures, the conversion price of the debentures was reduced by the fair market value of the dividend of $5.49 and is now $13.74. The Company also reduced the exercise price of outstanding stock options by $5.49 (note 9).

The common shares of Terravest were pledged as collateral against the Company’s demand revolving loan. As a result of the disposition of the Terravest common shares, the availability on that loan was reduced by $20,000. The lender also removed the current ratio covenant as a requirement for the facility.

4. EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS

The Company requested the deferrals to improve short-term cash flows in response to the global pandemic. As a result, the Company capitalized $648 of deferred interest to long-term debt.

Following the dividend-in-kind (note 3), the exercise price was reduced by $5.49 per option, resulting in a modified exercise price of $8.77 per option. The options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were settled in cash, and the Company changed the measurement of share-based payments from the equity-settled method to the cash-settled method accordingly. The compensation expense for options outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $33 and $60 under the new method. The associated share-based payment liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2020.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in two reportable business segments. The Investment segment represents the Company’s marketable securities portfolio, consisting of publicly traded equity securities at fair value through profit or loss, the Company’s ferry business, and the Company’s vacant office buildings included in investment properties. During the first quarter of 2020, the office buildings were transferred from the Hospitality segment to the Investment segment as a result of the Company redefining its operating segments following the completion of recent transactions. The Hospitality segment consists of the Company’s ownership and operation of hotels. The Other category is not a segment and is disclosed for reconciliation purposes. The Other category consists of our treasury and executive functions, the results of our pension plans and the interest payable on our debentures. Revenue from external customers earned in the Other category pertains primarily to management service fees.

Transactions between the segments are recorded at fair value, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by management of the segments. Reconciling items represent inter-segment eliminations for services provided between segments.

The Company operates predominantly in Canada, with the exception of three investment properties in the United States (note 6). Hotel revenue and provision of services was all generated by continuing operations in Canada for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As a response to the effects of COVID-19 on operations, the Company reassessed liquidity and credit risk with a specific focus on available financing for ongoing cash flows and the ability to collect on loans and other receivables.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations. The Company believes it has access to sufficient capital through cash on hand, operating cash flows and existing or other borrowing facilities to meet these obligations. The Company monitors and forecasts its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its required obligations. Cash flow forecasting for the Hospitality segment is performed at the hotel level and aggregated at head office. During the prior quarter, the Company reduced the maximum borrowing capacity of one of its credit facilities from $45,000 to $20,000 for the purpose of reducing borrowing costs on redundant availability in excess of the credit facility’s borrowing base calculation. At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $517 and available unused facilities totaling $13,865.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)

Management estimates that current liquidities and forecasted cash flows will be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations, commitments, and budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months. However, the Company has certain existing financial ratios to meet with respect to its long-term debt and credit facilities, which it may not be in compliance with as at the fourth quarter. The Company is in negotiations with its lenders to obtain the necessary waivers. Management has no reasonable basis to believe that such negotiations will not result in the required covenant waivers. At September 30, 2020, all of the financial ratios measured on a quarterly basis were in compliance, except for a credit facility and mortgage payable held with one lender. A waiver was obtained from the lender before September 30, 2020. As at September 30, 2020, the mortgage payable of $22,294 is presented on the interim consolidated statement of financial position as long-term with the exception of the current portion of $1,374 which is presented as current, and the credit facility of $10,000 is presented as current.

In response to the pandemic, the Company has taken and continues to take the following actions to support its liquidity position:

  • The Company has initiated a company-wide cost and capital expenditure reduction program.

  • We are proactively working with our lenders on the easement of financial covenants and the modification of borrowing base determination calculations.

  • We obtained various deferrals of both interest and principal on our loans and mortgages payable.

  • We obtained payment term deferrals from several vendors.

  • We worked with the holders of our loans receivable to collect payment in advance of the respective maturity dates.

  • We applied for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) and have accrued total subsidies of $4,143 for this program as at September 30, 2020. All submissions have been collected in full subsequent to the end of the quarter. The CEWS is presented on the interim consolidated statements of earnings net of hotel operating expenses, cost of services provided and general and administrative expenses. We expect to continue to apply for the CEWS for the remaining periods available through the subsidy.

The following table shows the timing of expected payments of current liabilities and long-term debt:

Due within 1 year 1 to 3 years 3 to 5 years After 5 years
$ $ $ $
Short-term indebtedness 34,985
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 5,579
Convertible debentures interest 3,175 3,175 2,116
Convertible debentures 50,795
Long-term debt 6,205 38,634 5,150 2,286
Interest on long-term debt 2,057 2,303 533 174
52,001 44,112 58,594 2,460

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligations under a contract and, as a result, will cause the Company to suffer a loss. This risk is mitigated through credit policies that limit transactions according to counterparties’ credit quality. The Company assesses the credit quality of all counterparties, considering their financial position, past experience and other factors. The maximum exposure to credit risk associated with financial assets is the total carrying value of the receivables and loans receivable.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)

The amount of receivables presented on the consolidated statements of financial position of $3,386 is net of expected credit losses of $172. Listings of trade receivables in the Hospitality segment are reviewed by and discussed with hotel operations personnel on a monthly basis. The Company also has three loans receivable in the amount of $2,109 obtained through the respective sales of previously owned assets. The Company has performed an analysis of the expected credit losses on these loans receivable considering both the financial condition of the borrowers and independent, industry-specific credit loss projections due to the pandemic. No expected credit losses on the loans receivable have been recorded as a result of this analysis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company collected $5,465 of its loans receivable.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share restructuring plan

During the quarter, the Company announced that it had called a special meeting of Clarke’s shareholders (the “Meeting”) to approve a proposed consolidation and subsequent share split of its common shares (“Common Shares”) in order to eliminate a large number of small and odd-lot shareholdings (“Share Restructuring Plan”).

The basis of the proposed consolidation of Common Shares was one post-consolidated Common Share for each 1,000 preconsolidated Common Shares (the “Consolidation”). Holders of fewer than 1,000 Common Shares who did not increase their holdings to 1,000 or more Common Shares prior to the determination date would cease to hold Common Shares and would be entitled to be paid cash consideration equal to that number of pre-Consolidation Common Shares held by the holder multiplied by an amount equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares for the twenty trading days preceding the Consolidation. Immediately following the Consolidation, the remaining Common Shares would be split on the basis of 1,000 post-split Common Shares for each 1 post-Consolidation Common Share. The end result would mean those shareholders who held 1,000 or more shares prior to the restructuring would retain the same number of shares after the restructuring.

The Share Restructuring Plan was approved at the Meeting subsequent to September 30, 2020, and the Company paid $2,038 in cash consideration for 363,893 Common Shares, or $5.60 per Common Share.

Credit facility amendment and new financing

The Company and Holloway each have respective credit facilities with the same Canadian chartered bank with aggregate drawings of $24,985 at September 30, 2020. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company amended the credit facility to combine and replace the two facilities. The existing security remains in place as collateral for the amended credit facility. The availability is determined by a borrowing base calculation, has a maximum borrowing capacity of $40,000 and bears interest at prime plus 1.50%, or based on a spread to banker’s acceptance. The credit facility was amended to establish incremental, long-term liquidity to the Company.

In conjunction with the amended credit facility, the Company secured a $12,500 term loan through this same Canadian chartered bank via the Co-Lending Program within the Business Credit Availability Program. The term loan has a threeyear term, bears interest at prime plus 1.50% and is secured by a second lien on the security of the credit facility.

Pension plan surplus distribution

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company received a pre-tax distribution from one of its pension plans in the amount of $1,247 in accordance with the surplus withdrawal rules of the Quebec Supplemental Pension Plans Act.

Hotel sale

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, Holloway entered into an agreement to sell the Best Western® hotel in Grande Prairie, AB to a company controlled by the Executive Chairman and his immediate family member for gross proceeds of $11,500. The carrying value of the hotel does not materially differ from the purchase price. As such, the Company does not expect a significant impact on the consolidated statements of earnings upon the close of the transaction.
