ALGONQUIN POWER & UTILITIES CORP.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

(in thousands of Canadian dollars except as noted and amounts per share)

 

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC” or the “Company”) is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act. APUC’s principal activity is the ownership of power generation facilities and water, gas and electric utilities, through investments in securities of subsidiaries including corporations, limited partnerships and trusts which carry on these businesses.

APUC’s power generation business unit conducts business under the name Algonquin Power Co. (“APCo”). APCo owns or has interests in renewable energy facilities and thermal energy facilities. APUC’s Utility Services business unit conducts business under the name of Liberty Utilities Co. (“Liberty Utilities”). Liberty Utilities operates a portfolio of utilities in the United States of America providing electric, natural gas, water distribution or wastewater services.

 

1. Significant accounting policies

 

  (a) Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow disclosures required under Regulation S-X Rule 10-01, Interim Financial Statements provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of APUC are consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of APUC for the year ended December 31, 2012 except for accounting policies adopted for disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities, comprehensive income and revenue recognition for Liberty Energy (California) (“Calpeco Electric System”) (note 1(c), (d) and note 2 below).

APUC’s operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter’s operating results. APUC’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily “run-of-river” and as such fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. APUC’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water. During drier, hotter periods of the year, which occurs generally in the summer, demand for water is typically higher than during cooler, wetter periods of the year. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities experience higher demand than during the summer period. Different electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics within a utility serving territory. Calpeco Electric System has historically experienced higher demand for electricity during the winter rather than during the summer period since the utility serves a number of ski hills and resorts in its service territory. Starting in 2013, as a result of the decoupling mechanism approved by its regulator (note 5), Calpeco Electric System’s earnings are no longer affected by differences in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.

 

  (b) Basis of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of APUC include the accounts of APUC and its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  (c) Recognition of revenue

Beginning in 2013, in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism approved by its regulator, Calpeco Electric System is required to record approved annual delivery revenues evenly over its fiscal year. As a result, the difference between delivery revenue calculated based on metered consumption and approved delivery revenue is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability to reflect future recovery or refund, respectively, from customers.

 

  (d) Right of offset

The fair value gains or losses recognized on derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement are presented on a gross basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

2. Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

  (a) Recent accounting pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities and ASU 2013-01 Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These newly issued accounting standards require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet including financial instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement. The standards were issued to enable users of the financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of such arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The adoption of these standards as at January 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to provide certain information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, the effect of, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. Other than the additional disclosure (note 12), the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

2. Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)

 

  (b) Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in some specific situations. This ASU is required to be applied prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This newly issued accounting standard permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This ASU is required to be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. Business acquisitions and developments projects

 

  (a) Acquisition of Shady Oaks wind power facility

Effective January 1, 2013, APCo acquired the 109.5 megawatt (“MW”) Shady Oaks wind powered generating facility (“Shady Oaks”) by assuming the existing long-term debt of approximately U.S. $150,000 for no additional cash. The purchase agreement provides for final purchase price adjustments based on working capital at the acquisition date, energy generated by the project and basis differences between the relevant node and hub prices. The energy and basis related price adjustment will be based on the project’s experience from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

 

Cash

   $ 4,683   

Working capital

     2,653   

Property, plant and equipment

     121,143   

Deferred tax asset

     22,790   

Long term debt

     (149,235

Asset retirement obligation

     (1,363
  

 

 

 

Total net assets acquired

   $ 671   
  

 

 

 

The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired has been based upon management’s preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has not completed the fair value measurements, particularly that of the contingent consideration. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis prior to finalizing the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimated purchase price was reduced by U.S. $3,291 as at June 30, 2013 to reflect the latest information available.

Property, plant and equipment are amortized on a straight line basis over the lives of the assets, which have a weighted average life of 38 years.

Shady Oaks earns revenue from the sale of electricity and renewable energy credits and from capacity payments. Shady Oaks recognizes revenue from the sale of electricity and renewable energy credits (“RECs”) based upon the output delivered at rates specified under a long-term power purchase agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company (“ComEd”). Shady Oaks has contracted to sell approximately 310,000 MW hours of electricity (and associated RECs) to ComEd each year, commencing June 1, 2012, under this long-term power purchase agreement. On March 29, 2013, ComEd issued curtailment notice reducing the annual contract quantity for the delivery year from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 to 252,617 MW hours. Electricity and associated renewable energy credits not sold to ComEd will be sold into wholesale electric markets.

Shady Oaks contributed revenue of $4,282 and $9,434 and net earnings of $956 and $2,660 to APUC’s consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The disclosure of pro forma revenue and earnings has been deemed impracticable as Shady Oaks being a newly constructed wind power generation facility only achieved commercial operations in the second half of 2012 and therefore had little operations prior to the acquisition by APCo.

All costs related to the acquisition have been expensed in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

3. Business acquisitions and developments projects (continued)

 

  (b) Acquisition of Pine Bluff Water System

On February 1, 2013, Liberty Utilities acquired United Water Arkansas Inc. a regulated water distribution utility (the “Pine Bluff Water System”) located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Total purchase price for the Pine Bluff Water System is approximately $27,533 (U.S. $27,600), subject to certain working capital and other closing adjustments. The following table summarizes the preliminary determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed including working capital adjustments at the acquisition date:

 

Cash

   $ 8   

Working capital

     813   

Property, plant and equipment

     28,371   

Regulatory assets

Deferred income tax liability, net

     (2,931
  

 

 

 

Total net assets acquired

   $ 27,905   
  

 

 

 

The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired has been based upon management’s preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has not yet completed the fair value measurements as at June 30, 2013. In particular, fair value estimates of the OPEB obligation have not yet been recorded. In addition, the purchase agreement provides for a final purchase price adjustment based on agreed working capital and rate base balances at the acquisition date. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis prior to finalizing the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may differ from the amounts above.

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. The contributing factors to the amount recorded as goodwill include expected future cash flows, potential operational synergies, the utilization of technology, and cost savings opportunities in the delivery of certain shared administrative and other services. The goodwill related to the Pine Bluff Water System has been reported under the Liberty Utilities (Central) segment.

Property, plant and equipment are amortized in accordance with regulatory requirements over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight line method. The weighted average life of the Pine Bluff Water System assets is 40 years.

All costs related to the acquisition have been expensed through the unaudited interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Pine Bluff Water System contributed revenue of $2,361 and $3,806 and net earnings of $353 and $586 to the Company’s consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

3. Business acquisitions and developments projects (continued)

 

  (c) Acquisition of Columbus/Gainesville Gas System

On April 1, 2013, Liberty Utilities acquired certain regulated natural gas distribution utility assets (the “Columbus/Gainesville Gas System”) located in the State of Georgia from Atmos Energy Corporation. The total purchase price for the Columbus/Gainesville Gas System is approximately $155,578 (U.S. $153,000), subject to certain working capital and other closing adjustments.

The following table summarizes the preliminary determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

 

Working capital

   $ 7,775   

Property, plant and equipment

     147,157

The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired has been based upon management’s preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has not yet completed the fair value measurements as at June 30, 2013. In addition, the purchase agreement provides for a final purchase price adjustment based on agreed working capital and rate base balances at the acquisition date. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis prior to finalizing the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may differ from the amounts above.

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. The contributing factors to the amount recorded as goodwill include expected future cash flows, potential operational synergies, the utilization of technology, and cost savings opportunities in the delivery of certain shared administrative and other services. The goodwill related to the Columbus/Gainesville Gas System has been reported under the Liberty Utilities (East) segment.

Property, plant and equipment are amortized in accordance with regulatory requirements over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight line method. The weighted average life of the Columbus/Gainesville Gas System assets is 55 years.

All costs related to the acquisition have been expensed through the unaudited interim Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Columbus/Gainesville Gas System contributed revenue of $12,668 and $12,668 and net earnings of $1,996 and $1,996 to the Company’s consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

  (f) Acquisition of New Hampshire electric and gas utilities

After the December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company received additional information which was used to refine the estimates for fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the New Hampshire electric and gas utilities. The carrying value of those assets and liabilities were retrospectively adjusted to the amounts detailed in the table below. As a result, the total consideration was reduced by $9,277, working capital acquired was reduced by $9,697 and goodwill was increased by $957.

5. Regulatory matters

The Company’s regulated utility operating companies owned by Liberty Utilities are subject to regulation by the public utility commissions of the states in which they operate. The respective public utility commissions have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. These utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these state authorities. The Company`s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 980 Regulated Operations (“ASC 980”). Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent probable future revenues or expenses associated with certain charges or credits that will be recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.

On November 29, 2012, Calpeco Electric System’s regulator approved an All Parties General Rate Case Settlement. As an element of the decision, a revenue decoupling mechanism and a vegetation management memorandum account was agreed upon. The revenue decoupling mechanism will isolate base revenues from fluctuations caused by weather and economic factors. The vegetation management memorandum account allows for the tracking and pass through of vegetation management expenses to customers, one of the largest expenses of the utility.

7. Long-term liabilities (continued)

 

Liberty Utilities

On March 14, 2013, Liberty Utilities issued U.S. $15,000 of senior unsecured notes through a private placement in connection with the acquisition of the Pine Bluff Water System (note 3 (b)). The notes bear interest at 4.14% and mature in 10 years.

On March 14, 2013, Liberty Utilities entered into a variable rate unsecured U.S. $100,000 term facility with a U.S. Bank. On April 1, 2013, Liberty Utilities drew U.S. $100,000 from the facility to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Columbus/Gainesville Gas System (note 3(c)). Subsequent to quarter end on July 31, 2013, Liberty Utilities issued U.S. $125,000 of senior unsecured notes through a private placement in three tranches: U.S. $25,000, bearing an interest rate of 3.23%, maturing July 31, 2020; U.S. $75,000, bearing an interest rate of 3.86%, maturing July 31, 2023; and, U.S. $25,000, bearing an interest rate of 4.26%, maturing July 31, 2028. The proceeds of the private placement financing were used to repay the U.S. $100,000 term facility and reduce the drawn amount on Liberty’s revolving credit facility. As a result of its long term refinancing subsequent to quarter end, the term facility is classified as non-current as at June 30, 2013.

 

8. Convertible debentures

On January 2, 2013, the remaining principal amount of $960 of Series 3 Debentures was redeemed for 150,816 shares of APUC (note 11(a)(i)).

 

9. Pension and other post-retirement benefits

The following table lists the components of net benefit costs for the pension plans and Other Post Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) recorded as part of administrative expenses in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

10. Mandatorily redeemable Series C preferred shares

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company issued 100 redeemable Series C preferred shares in exchange for 100 Class B limited partnership units issued by the St. Leon Wind Energy LP (“St. Leon LP”), a subsidiary of APCo and the legal owner of the St. Leon facility (note 11(b)). Thirty six of the Series C preferred shares are owned by related parties controlled by executives of the Company. The preferred shares are mandatorily redeemable in 2031 for $53,400 per share and have a contractual cumulative cash dividend paid quarterly until the date of redemption based on a prescribed payment schedule detailed below. These shares are accounted for as liabilities in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The cumulative dividends are indexed in proportion to the increase in CPI over the term of the shares. The dividend is intended to approximate the distributions that otherwise would have accrued to holders of Class B limited partnership units.

Upon redemption in 2031, the shares will be redeemed for $53,400 per share. The Series C preferred shares are convertible into common shares at the option of the holder and the Company, at any time after May 20, 2031 and before June 19, 2031, at a conversion price of $53,400 per share.

The Series C preferred shares were initially measured at their estimated fair value of $18,497 based on the present value of the expected contractual cash flows including dividends and redemption amount, discounted at a rate of 5.0%. The recognition of the initial fair value of $18,497 resulted in an adjustment to equity of the shareholders of the Company as the Class B shares had a nominal carrying amount prior to the exchange. The Series C preferred shares are accounted for under the effective interest method, resulting in accretion of interest expense over the term of the shares. Dividend payments are recorded as a reduction of the Series C preferred share carrying value.

 

Estimated dividend and redemption payments due in the next five years and thereafter are:

11. Shareholders’ capital

 

  (c) Share-based compensation

On March 13, 2013, the Board approved the grant of 816,402 options to senior executives of the Company. The options allow for the purchase of common shares at a price of $7.72, the market price of the underlying common share at the date of grant.

One-third of the options vest on each of January 1, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Options may be exercised up to eight years following the date of grant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, 11,669 Deferred Share Units (“DSU”) were issued pursuant to the election of the Directors to defer a percentage of their 2013 Director’s fee in the form of DSUs.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, APUC recorded $563 and $987 (2012—$617 and $846) in total share-based compensation expense. No tax deduction was realized in the current year. The compensation expense is recorded as part of administrative expenses in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statement of Operations. The portion of share-based compensation costs capitalized as cost of construction is insignificant.

As at June 30, 2013, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options and share unit awards were $3,012 and $153 respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a period of 1.82 years and 1.35 years respectively.

13. Cash dividends

On June 28, 2013, an initial dividend of $0.28125 per share totaling $1,350, Series A, was paid in cash to Preferred Share, Series A holders of record on June 14, 2013.

The dividends per common share declared per share for the three and six months ending June 30, 2013 was $0.085 and $0.1625 respectively (2012—$0.07 and $0.14).

 

14. Income taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 26.50% (2012—26.25%) due primarily to recognition of deferred credits, higher tax rates in U.S. subsidiaries, minority interest partner’s tax expenses, inter-corporate dividends, and non deductible expenses.

Included in deferred income tax recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is $1,198 and $3,514 (2012- $771 and $1,518) related to the recognition of deferred credits from the utilization of deferred income tax assets respectively.

 

15. Sale of Facilities

On June 29, 2013, APCo sold 9 small U.S. hydroelectric generating facilities that were no longer considered strategic to the ongoing operations of the Company, for gross proceeds of U.S. $23,400 for a gain on sale of U.S. $1,098, net of tax recovery of U.S. $1,661. The sale of the last small U.S. hydroelectric generating facilities is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013 for $3,600.

During the quarter, the Company initiated a strategic review of the Company’s business plan and opportunities available for its Energy From Waste (“EFW”) facility. As a result of the review, the Company decided during the quarter to sell the facility and expects the sales process to be concluded within the next 12 months. Accordingly, the assets of EFW are presented as assets held for sale on the unaudited interim Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of 2013, the net assets of EFW were written down to their estimated fair value less cost of sale which resulted in a write down of the net assets of $47,651 before tax, or $35,738 net of tax of $11,913. The determination of the fair value of the net assets of EFW has been based upon management’s preliminary estimates and assumptions considering present conditions and management’s planned course of action. Should the underlying valuation assumptions and estimates change, the recorded amounts could change by a material amount.

In August 2012, APCo sold a small U.S. Hydro facility for gross proceeds of $350 for a loss on sale, net of tax of $253.

The operating results from these facilities are disclosed as discontinued operations on the interim consolidated statements and prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

16. Related party transactions

Certain executives of APUC are shareholders of Algonquin Power Management Inc. (“APMI”), the former manager of the Company. A member of the Board of Directors of APUC is an executive at Emera.

Transactions with APMI and Senior Executives

APUC has leased its head office facilities since 2001 from an entity owned by the shareholders of APMI on a triple net basis. Base lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $84 and $168 (2012 - $82 and $164).

APUC utilizes chartered aircraft, including the use of an aircraft owned by an affiliate of APMI, Algonquin Airlink Inc. In 2004, APUC remitted $1,300 to the affiliate as an advance against expense reimbursements (including engine utilization reserves) for APUC’s business use of the aircraft. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, APUC incurred costs in connection with the use of the aircraft of $78 and $146 (2012 - $104 and $164) and amortization expense related to the advance against expense reimbursements of $nil (2012 - $88 and $155). At June 30, 2013, the remaining amount of the advance was $nil (December 31, 2012 - $nil).

Affiliates of APMI hold 60% of the outstanding Class B limited partnership units issued by the St. Leon LP, a subsidiary of APUC and the legal owner of the St. Leon facility. The related holders of the Class B units received cash distributions of $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 (2012 - $80 and $155). On January 1, 2013, the Company issued 100 redeemable Series C preferred shares and exchanged such shares for the Class B units (note 10).

APUC provided supervisory management services on a cost recovery basis to a hydroelectric generating facility not owned by APUC where Senior Executives hold an equity interest.

Rattle Brook is a hydroelectric generating facility in which APUC owns a 45% interest and Senior Executives hold an equity interest in. Rattle Brook is operated on a cost recovery basis by an entity which is partially owned by Senior Executives.

APMI is one of the two original developers of Red Lily I and both developers are entitled to a royalty fee based on a percentage of operating revenue and a development fee from the equity owner of Red Lily I. In 2011, APUC acquired APMI’s interest in this royalty. An amount of $600 has been accrued as an estimate of the final fee owed to APMI.

16. Related party transactions (continued)

 

Transactions with APMI and Senior Executives (continued)

 

As part of the project to re-power the Sanger facility, APUC entered into an agreement with APMI to undertake certain construction management services on the project for a performance based contingency fee. An amount of U.S. $550 has been accrued as an estimate of the final fee owed to APMI.

During 2007, APUC allowed its offer to acquire Clean Power Income Fund to expire and earned a termination fee of $1,800. As part of its role in the process, APUC has agreed to pay APMI a fee of $100 which has been accrued as an estimate of the final fee owed to APMI.

As at June 30, 2013, due from related parties include $814 (December 31, 2012 - $816) owed to APUC from APMI and due to related parties include $1,839 (December 31, 2012 - $1,811) owed to APMI. These amounts arise from the transactions described above.

Long Sault is a hydroelectric generating facility in which APUC acquired its interest by way of subscribing to two notes from the original developers. An affiliate of APMI is one of the original partners in the facility and is entitled to receive 5% of the after tax equity cash flows commencing in 2014.

In March 2012, APUC and APMI’s Senior Executives (the “Parties”) reached a term sheet agreement to resolve a number of the historic joint business associations between the Parties. The transaction is subject to finalization of definitive agreements which are expected to be completed before the end of 2013.

Under the term sheet, it is proposed that APUC will exchange its 45% interest in the 4MW Rattle Brook hydroelectric facility (including a $0.5 million positive working capital adjustment) in return for the Parties’ residual partnership interest in the Long Sault Rapids hydroelectric facility and the equity interest in the Brampton cogeneration plant. The agreement is based on an assumed transaction date of January 1, 2012 and also settles outstanding fees owing to APMI.

Transactions with Emera

In 2011, a subsidiary of Emera provided lead market participant services for fuel capacity and forward reserve markets to ISO NE for the Windsor Locks facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 APUC paid U.S. $nil (2012 – U.S. $69 and $160) in relation to this contract. In 2011, APUC provided a corporate guarantee to a subsidiary of Emera in an amount of U.S. $1,000 in conjunction with this contract.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Energy Services Business sold electricity to Maine Public Service Company (“MPS”), a subsidiary of Emera, amounting to U.S. $1,527 and $3,162 (2012 – U.S. $1,477 and $2,990). In 2011, APUC provided a corporate guarantee to MPS in an amount of U.S. $3,000 and a letter of credit in an amount of U.S. $100, primarily in conjunction with a three year contract to provide standard offer service to commercial and industrial customers in Northern Maine.

The above related party transactions have been recorded at the exchange amounts agreed to by the parties to the transactions.

17. Basic and diluted net earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated on the basis of net earnings attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), shareholders’ rights and convertible debentures. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, PSUs, DSUs and shareholders’ rights is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the Treasury Stock Method while the dilutive effect of convertible debentures is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the As If Converted Method.

The reconciliation of the net income and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

18. Commitments and contingencies

 

  a) Contingencies

APUC and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider APUC’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, with the exception of those matters described below. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that its occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.

 

  i) On October 21, 2011 the Québec Court of Appeal ordered a subsidiary of APUC to pay approximately $5,400 (including interest) to the government of Québec relating to water lease payments that the APUC subsidiary has been paying to the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (“Seaway Management”) under its water lease with Seaway Management in prior years.

18. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

  a) Contingencies (continued)

 

  i) The water lease with Seaway Management contains an indemnification clause which management believes mitigates this claim and management intends to vigorously defend its position. As a result, the probability of loss, if any, and its quantification cannot be estimated at this time but could range from $nil to $6,000.

 

  ii) The normal ongoing operations and historic activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and are regulated by agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (“NHDES”). Like most other industrial companies, the gas and electric distribution utilities generate some hazardous wastes. Under federal and state Superfund laws, potential liability for historic contamination of property may be imposed on responsible parties jointly and severally, without fault, even if the activities were lawful when they occurred. In the case of regulated utilities these costs are often allowed in rate case proceedings to be recovered from rate payers over a specified period.

Prior to their acquisition by Liberty Utilities, EnergyNorth Gas System and Granite State Electric System were named as potentially responsible parties for remediation of several sites at which hazardous waste is alleged to have been disposed as a result of historic operations of Manufactured Gas Plants (“MGP”) and related facilities. The Company is currently investigating and remediating, as necessary, those MGP and related sites in accordance with plans submitted to the NHDES. The Company believes that obligations imposed on it because of those sites will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

As at June 30, 2013, the Company estimates the remaining undiscounted, unescalated cost of these MGP-related environmental cleanup activities will be $62,876 (U.S. $59,780). At a discount rate of 3.5%, it represents a recorded accrual of $58,759 (December 31, 2012 - $56,857), the current portion of which amounts to $3,227. Remediation costs estimates for each site may vary, depending upon changing technologies and regulatory standards, selected end use for each site, and actual environmental conditions encountered.

By rate orders, the regulator provided for the recovery of actual expenditures for site investigation and remediation over a period of 7 years and accordingly, at June 30, 2013 the Company has reflected a regulatory asset of $62,310 (December 31, 2012 - $59,789) for the MGP and related sites.

Estimated cash flows for site investigation and remediation costs in the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

 

2013

   $ 1,019   

2014

     8,478

18. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

  b) Commitments

In addition to the commitments relating to the proposed acquisitions disclosed in note 3 the following significant commitments exist as at June 30, 2013.

As a result of the dam safety legislation passed in Quebec (Bill C93), APUC has completed technical assessments on its hydroelectric facility dams owned or leased within the Province of Quebec. The assessments have identified a number of remedial measures required to meet the new safety standards. APUC currently estimates further capital expenditures of approximately $16,900 over a period of five years related to compliance with the legislation.

APUC has outstanding purchase commitments for power purchases, gas delivery, service and supply, service agreements, capital project commitments and operating leases. Detailed below are estimates of future commitments under these arrangements:

Calpeco has entered into a five year all-purpose power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with NV Energy to provide its full electric requirements at NV Energy’s “system average cost” rates. The PPA has an effective starting date of January 1, 2011 with a five year renewal option. The commitment amounts included in the table above are based on market prices as of June 30, 2013. However, the effects of purchased power unit cost adjustments are mitigated through a purchased power rate-adjustment mechanism. Granite State has several types of contracts for the purchase of electric power. Substantially all of these contracts require power to be delivered before the Company is obligated to make payment.

Subsequent to quarter end on August 6, 2013, Liberty Utilities (Canada) Corp entered into an agreement to purchase a property located in Oakville, Ontario to host the Company’s head office. The purchase, in an amount of $47,300 is expected to close on December 2, 2013. The company has already paid installments of $2,500.

20. Segmented information

APUC has two operating segments: APCo which owns or has interests in renewable energy facilities and thermal energy facilities and Liberty Utilities which owns and operates utilities in the United States of America providing electric, natural gas, water distribution or wastewater services.

Within APCo there are three divisions: Renewable Energy, Thermal Energy and Development. The Renewable Energy division operates the Company’s hydro-electric and wind power facilities. The Thermal Energy division operates co-generation, energy from waste, steam production and other thermal facilities. The Development division develops the Company’s greenfield power generation projects as well as any expansion of the Company’s existing portfolio of renewable energy and thermal energy facilities.

Liberty Utilities’ operational segments are aggregated and reported by the following geographic territories: Liberty Utilities (West), Liberty Utilities (Central) and Liberty Utilities (East). Liberty Utilities (West) is comprised of Calpeco and the water distribution and wastewater utilities located in Arizona. Liberty Utilities (Central) is comprised of the Midwest Gas Utilities and the water distribution and wastewater utilities located in Texas, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas. Liberty Utilities (East) is comprised of the New Hampshire and Georgia electric and gas utilities.

Operational segments

APUC’s reportable segments are APCo - Renewable Energy, APCo - Thermal Energy, Liberty Utilities (West), Liberty Utilities (Central) and Liberty Utilities (East). The development activities of APCo are reported under Renewable Energy or Thermal Energy as appropriate. For purposes of evaluating divisional performance, the Company allocates the realized portion of the loss on financial instruments to specific divisions. This allocation is determined when the initial foreign exchange forward contract is entered into. The unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivatives instruments is not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and is therefore allocated and reported in the corporate segment. The interest rate swaps relate to specific debt facilities and gains and losses are allocated in the same manner as interest expense. Amounts relating to the convertible debentures are reported in the corporate segment.

The results of operations and assets for these segments are as follows:

21. Financial instruments (continued)

 

  (a) Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

 

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principle or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

   

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

   

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

   

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value (a level 2 measurement) at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of notes receivable have been determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management. Such estimates are significantly influenced by unobservable data and therefore the fair value of notes receivable is subject to estimation risk.

APUC has long-term liabilities at both fixed interest rates and variable interest rates. The estimated fair value of such liabilities is calculated using current interest rates. The fair value of convertible debentures is determined using quoted market prices.

The Company’s Level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, and forward physical deals where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves which are observable in the marketplace.

The Red Lily conversion option is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value is determined by applying an income approach using an option pricing model that incorporates various inputs such as energy yield function from wind, estimated cash flows and a discount rate of 8.5%. The Company used a discount rate believed to be most relevant given the business strategy. There was no change in fair value of $nil during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision.

21. Financial instruments (continued)

 

  (a) Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

 

The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There was no transfer into or out of level 1, level 2 or level 3 during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

 

  (b) Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value each reporting period.

 

  (i) Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas transactions associated with its regulated gas service territories.

The following are commodity volumes, in MMBTU associated with the above derivative contracts:

 

     2013  

Financial contracts: Gas swaps

     2,963,000   

Gas options

     1,989,200   
  

 

 

 
     4,952,200   
  

 

 

 

The change in fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is recorded as an offsetting adjustment to the regulatory assets and liabilities. As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no impact on net earnings.

 

  (ii) Cash flow hedges

APCo reduces the price risk on the expected future sales of power generation from Sandy Ridge, Senate and Minonk and at one of its hydro facilities no longer subject to a PPA by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts.

  (b) Derivative instruments (continued)

 

  (iii) Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation

The Company periodically uses a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases to manage its foreign exchange exposure on cash flows generated from the U.S. operations.

Concurrent with its $150,000 debentures offering in December 2012, APCo entered into a cross currency swap, coterminous with the debentures, to effectively convert the Canadian dollar denominated offering into United States dollar (“USD”). APCo designated the entire notional amount of the cross currency fixed for fixed interest rate swap and related short-term USD payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in APCo’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the USD accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, an economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in other comprehensive income) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $4,592 was recorded in other comprehensive income in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

  (iv) Other derivatives

APCo satisfies the energy demands of various customers under fixed rate contracts. While the production from the Tinker Assets are expected to provide a portion of the energy required to service these customers, APUC anticipates having to purchase a portion of its energy requirements at the ISO NE spot rates to supplement self-generated energy.

This risk is mitigated through the use of short-term financial forward energy purchase contracts which are classified as derivative instruments. The electricity derivative contracts are net settled fixed-for-floating swaps whereby APUC pays a fixed price and receives the floating or indexed price on a notional quantity of energy over the remainder of the contact term at an average rate, as per the following table. These contracts are not accounted for as hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in earnings as they occur.

21. Financial instruments (continued)

 

  (c) Risk management

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its U.S. based operations. APUC manages this risk primarily through natural hedges by using U.S. long term debt to finance its U.S. operations.

In August 2012, APCo designated the amounts drawn on its U.S. dollar denominated bank credit facility as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure from net investment in U.S. operations. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the outstanding U.S. dollar denominated balance of APCo’s facility that is designated as a hedge of the net investment in its foreign operations is reported in the same manner as a translation adjustment (in other comprehensive income) related to the net investment, to the extent it is effective as a hedge. A foreign currency loss of $1,809 was recorded in other comprehensive income in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to certain of its floating rate debt obligations, including certain project specific debt and its revolving credit facility, its interest rate swaps as well as interest earned on its cash on hand. The Company does not currently hedge that risk.

APCo is party to an interest rate swap whereby, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 4.47% on a notional amount of $63,236 and receives floating interest at 90 day CDOR, up to the expiry of the swap in September 2015. At June 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $3,735 (2012 – liability of $5,859). This interest rate swap is not being accounted for as a hedge and consequently, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings as they occur.
