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. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using the same accounting policies TerraVest disclosed in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for complete set of financial statements. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with TerraVest's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 10, 2021.

3. ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these judgments, estimates and assumptions.

The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including the key areas of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in TerraVest's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020, with the exception of:

• the estimate of income tax expense which is determined in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the estimated taxable earnings of the interim period.

4. SEASONALITY

TerraVest's operating segments are seasonal in nature. The strongest quarters for TerraVest are its first and last quarters. The Processing Equipment and Service segments generally experience higher sales in the first and second quarters as majority of the drilling in Western Canada occurs during this period. The Fuel Containment segment generally experiences higher revenues during the first and last quarters as demand for residential, commercial and industrial heating products increases heading into the winter months. The third quarter is typically the weakest across all segments. TerraVest takes advantage of this seasonality to build inventory levels during non-peak demand periods, thereby allowing TerraVest to more readily meet increased levels of demand during its regular peak demand periods.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of the investments in equity instruments has been determined based on the quoted price in active markets and is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of revolving credit facilities and long-term debt have been determined based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for similar instruments. The fair values of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are not significantly different to their carrying values. These items are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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. These items are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

5.1 Forward exchange contracts

As at December 31, 2020, TerraVest had forward exchange contracts totaling $34,397 ($29,792 as at September 30, 2020) outstanding to sell, at various rates and expiring on various dates up to and including December 28, 2023. The fair value of forward exchange contracts was an asset of $633 as at December 31, 2020 included in other current assets (a liability of $391 as at September 30, 2020 was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

5.2 Interest rate swap

As at December 31, 2020, 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 a liability of $125 as at December 31, 2020 ($167 as at September 30, 2020) included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
