CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Independent Auditor's Report

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP Suite 2000 National Bank Tower 600 De La Gauchetière Street West Montréal, Quebec H3B 4L8

To the Shareholders of TerraVest Industries Inc.

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, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity 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, 2021 and 2020, 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life

As described in Note 2.20 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. We identified the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying values of the goodwill and the intangible assets with an indefinite useful life as a key audit matter.

Why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter

This annual impairment test was significant to our audit because the balances of goodwill and other intangible assets, being respectively $30,089,000 and $1,460,000 as at September 30, 2021, are material to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, management's assessment process is based on assumptions, specifically profit margins, growth rates and discount rates, which are affected by expected future market or economic conditions, giving rise to high estimation uncertainty.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life included, among others:

  • − We evaluated the reasonableness of the Company's cash flows by comparing projections to:
    • * Historical results;
    • * Industry data;
    • * Current business plans;
  • − Using a valuation expert to assist us in evaluating the assumptions, methodologies and data used by the Company, in particular those relating to growth rates, profit margins and discount rates;
  • − We assessed the adequacy of the Company's disclosures about those assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive, that is, those that have the most significant effect on the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill. The Company's assumptions are detailed in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements;
  • − We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the Company's valuation model;
  • − We performed a sensitivity analysis on significant management assumptions used in the valuation model. The Company's assumptions are detailed in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements.

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 and will 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;
  • − 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Nancy Wolfe.

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"). TerraVest adopted the amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations that seek to clarify whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition, which has no significant impact on these consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on December 7, 2021.

At the authorization date of these consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, standards and amendments to existing standards and interpretation have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of these standards or amendments to existing standards have been adopted early by TerraVest. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on TerraVest's consolidated financial statements.

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 2.25.

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 statements 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.

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 statements 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.

2.8 Employee benefits

Short-term 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.

Post-employment benefits

The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the current service cost and, if applicable, the past service cost are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method based on management's best-estimate assumptions of the mortality table. The discount rate is based on the interest rate of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related defined benefit obligation. On each annual reporting date, independent actuaries extrapolate the data of the most recent full actuarial valuation to measure, for accounting purposes, the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The net defined benefit asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position corresponds to the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or in the form of reductions in future contributions to the plans.

The cost components of post-employment benefits plans are recognized as follows:

  • Service cost is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in cost of sales and administration expense and is comprised of:
    • Current service cost;
    • Past service cost recognized in the period in which the plan is amended; and
    • Gains or losses resulting from a plan settlement recognized in the period in which the plan settlement occurs.
  • Net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in administration expenses and is calculated by multiplying the net defined benefit liability (asset) by the discount rate.
  • Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), net of income taxes, are recognized in accumulated deficit in the consolidated statements of financial position and is comprised of:
    • Actuarial gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and from changes in financial and demographic assumptions;
    • Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset).

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 and government grants with general nature are recorded as other income. 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 statements 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 Property, plant and equipment

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 statements of income as other (gains) losses.

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 and shop equipment 5 to 10 years
Service rigs Hours of operation – useful life 2,000 to 48,000 hours
Equipment for rental 5 to 10 years
Others
Vehicles 5 to 15 years
Office equipment and furnishings 3 to 10 years
Computer hardware 1 to 3 years

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.

2.17 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.

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:

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
Computer software 5 to 10 years
Non-compete agreements 3 to 5 years

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.

2.18 Investment in associates and investment in a joint venture

Investment in associates and investment in a joint venture are accounted for using the equity method.

2.19 Goodwill

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment.

2.20 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 is 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) had no impairment loss 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.

2.21 Leases

Lessee

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 statements 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. 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.

Lessor

Leases for which TerraVest is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease and is included in the consolidated statements of income as products sales. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment for rental.

2.22 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.

2.23 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.

2.24 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 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.

2.25 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 statements 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 and long-term debt are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; and
  • Derivative financial instruments and investment in equity instruments 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.

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 statements 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 4 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.

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 13 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.

3.5 Defined benefit obligation

The measurement of defined benefit obligation requires the use of statistical data and other parameters used to anticipate future changes such as the discount rate and the mortality table. If the actuarial assumptions are found to be significantly different from the actual data subsequently observed, it could lead to substantial changes to the amount of the benefit cost of post-retirement benefits plans recognized in profit or loss and in accumulated deficit and to the net defined benefit asset or liability presented in the consolidated statements of financial position. Refer to Note 18 for additional information on the assumptions used.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

2021 Business Combination

4.1 Acquisition of ECR International, Inc.

On August 19, 2021, a subsidiary of TerraVest entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECR International, Inc. ("ECR"), a privately-owned manufacturing company head-quartered in Utica New York that produces heating and cooling products under a family of brand names in North America, including the Dunkirk, Utica and Olsen brands, among others.

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 $433 were incurred and recognized as administration expense during the year ended September 30, 2021.

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

PP&E were recognized at their estimated fair value. TerraVest is currently evaluating their fair value using their original cost, acquisition date and net carrying value at the transaction closing date.

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 ECR's future lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate as at August 19, 2021.

Net defined benefit asset and liability

Net defined benefit asset and liability were recognized at their actuarial value determined in accordance with TerraVest's accounting policy and using an actuarial valuation report as at the acquisition date.

Intangible assets

TerraVest is currently evaluating the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired. The intangible assets are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology with consideration given to historical and projected revenues, customer attrition rates and any other relevant assumptions.

Goodwill arising from the business combination

Preliminary
$
Consideration transferred 37,498
Less:
Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired 19,735
Goodwill 17,763

The acquisition was done in order to increase TerraVest's footprint in the North American home heating market. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is mainly attributable to brand recognition and an assembled workforce.

ECR contribution to TerraVest results

TerraVest's consolidated net income during the year ended September 30, 2021 includes sales of $11,109 and a net income of $647 generated from ECR's result since the acquisition date of August 19, 2021.

Due to lack of IFRS-specific data prior to the acquisition of ECR, pro-forma revenue and profit or loss of the combined entity during the year ended September 30, 2021 cannot be determined reliably.

2020 Business Combination

4.2 Acquisition of Argo Sales Inc.

On December 13, 2019, a subsidiary of TerraVest entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire all of the assets of Argo Sales Inc. ("Argo"), a privately-owned Alberta based company primarily focused on manufacturing wellhead processing and production equipment for the Canadian oil and gas market.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

5.1 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.

i) As at September 30, 2021, the derivative financial instruments assets are included in other current asset (the liability as at September 30, 2020 was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

The fair values of revolving credit facility and long-term debt have been determined based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for similar instruments. The fair values of the other 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 net carrying amount of the Service CGU goodwill is $nil and the carrying amount of indefinite life intangible asset attributable to Fuel Containment CGU is $1,460 as at September 30, 2021 ($1,460 as at September 30, 2020).

13.2 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, 2021 and 2020.

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.

17.5 Deferred income tax

As at September 30, 2021, TerraVest has non-capital losses carried forward of $18,867 ($16,589 as at September 30, 2020). These losses expire between 2030 and 2041, except for certain losses in the amount of $2,981 which can be carried forward indefinitely. Deferred income tax assets have been recognized in respect of these losses as it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which TerraVest can utilize these benefits.

TerraVest also has capital losses of $54,406 ($60,428 as at September 30, 2020) that are available for carry forward indefinitely. No deferred income tax asset has been recognized with respect to these capital losses.

18. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

18.1 Description of the plans

A subsidiary of TerraVest administers two defined benefit pension plans and one unfunded post-retirement healthwelfare plan to various groups of its employees and retirees. One of the defined benefit plans was frozen in 2000. TerraVest's subsidiary defined benefit plan funding policy is to contribute annually amounts which at least meet the funding requirement under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) of the United States Department of Labor.

18.2 Exposure to actuarial risk

TerraVest is exposed to the following actuarial risks:

Investment risk

All assets selected for inclusion in the portfolios must have a readily ascertainable market value and must be generally considered marketable at time of purchase. TerraVest believes the plan asset allocation as presently structured will ensure the long-term rate of return will be attained while appropriately minimizing investment risk.

Interest rate risk

A decrease in interest rate on high quality corporate bonds, which would reduce the discount rate used, would increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation. However, this increase would be partially offset by an increase in the fair value of certain plan assets.

Longevity risk

An increase in life expectancy of plan participants would increase the defined benefit obligation as the plans are providing benefits for life to plan participants.

18.10 Sensitivity analyses

The sensitivity analyses were prepared in accordance with TerraVest's accounting policies described in Note 2.8. The sensitivity analyses of the defined benefit obligation were calculated based on reasonably possible changes to each key actuarial assumption without considering simultaneous changes to several key actuarial assumptions. A change in one actuarial assumption could trigger a change in another actuarial assumption, which could amplify or mitigate the impact of the change in these assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligation. The actual results of items subject to assumptions may differ.

25. 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, 2021, is provided below.

25.1 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.

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

US$ US$
Financial assets and liabilities exposure
Cash 3,243 14,477
Trade and other receivables 6,302 5,627
Investment in equity instruments 835 115
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (2,651) (1,678)
Long-term debt (15,000) -
(7,271) 18,541

Based on the net U.S. dollar exposure as at September 30, 2021, a one cent increase in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had a unfavorable impact of $70 on net income (favorable impact of $185 for the year ended September 30, 2020). 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, 2021, TerraVest had forward exchange contracts totaling $30,002 ($29,792 as at September 30, 2020) 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 an asset of $281 as at September 30, 2021 included in other current assets (a liability of $391 as at September 30, 2020 was 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. As at September 30, 2021, TerraVest had 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 an asset of $434 as at September 30, 2021 (a liability of $167 as at September 30, 2020 was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

For the year ended September 30, 2021, a 1% increase in the interest rate would have had an unfavorable impact of $590 on net income ($676 for the year ended September 30, 2020), 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.

25.2 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 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 $71,285 as at September 30, 2021 ($72,062 as at September 30, 2020).

25.3 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.

i) The amounts reflect the contractual undiscounted cash flows, which may differ from the carrying values of the liabilities at the reporting date.

ii) Include current and non-current portion of long-term debt.

26. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The capital structure of TerraVest consists of its revolving credit facilities, long-term debt and shareholders' equity attributable to common shareholders as presented in the consolidated statements of financial position. TerraVest's objective in managing its capital resources is to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to support the operations of its various business segments and maximize the return to shareholders. Management continually assesses TerraVest's capital needs to meet its objectives. There were no significant changes in TerraVest's capital management approach from the prior year.

The following table outlines TerraVest's capital structure:

As at As at
September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020
$ $
Bank overdrafts 878 735
Drawn on current revolving credit facility 251 864

Shareholders' equity attributable to common shareholders 132,055 125,930
330,071 277,523

Other than the financial covenants and restrictive non-financial covenants contained in the loan agreements described in Note 15, TerraVest is not subject to any externally imposed capital restrictions.

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.

27. 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.

A number of these claims are related to a subsidiary of TerraVest who has been named as one of the defendants in numerous lawsuits alleging personal injury arising from asbestos-containing materials allegedly contained in certain boilers manufactured by the subsidiary or its predecessors, many of which are covered by insurance. The subsidiary is vigorously defending these lawsuits and as one of the numerous defendants initially named, the amount of damages sought and the proportionate share of liability, if any, is not estimable in this regard. Although management believes that the costs and liabilities associated with these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position, there can be no assurance to this effect.

Management believes that any settlement arising from these claims will not have a significant effect on TerraVest's current consolidated financial position or on net income. Therefore, no provision has been recognized in these consolidated financial statements.
