Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except share numbers and per share amounts)
 
 
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Precision Drilling Corporation (“Precision” or the “Corporation”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and is a provider of contract drilling and completion and production services primarily to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in Canada and the United States. The address of the registered office is 800, 525 - 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1G1.
 
 
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and methods of their application consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 except for the adoption of the following  new accounting standards. On January 1, 2013 Precision adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, as well as the consequential amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) and IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The adoption of these standards had no material impact on the amounts recorded in these financial statements.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 24, 2013.
 
(b) Seasonality
Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 45% (2012 - 48%) of consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2013 and 50% (2012 - 52%) of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The ability to move heavy equipment in Canadian oil and natural gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. As warm weather returns in the spring, the winter's frost comes out of the ground rendering many secondary roads incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment until they have thoroughly dried out. The duration of this “spring break-up” has a direct impact on Precision’s activity levels. In addition, many exploration and production areas in northern Canada are accessible only in winter months when the ground is frozen hard enough to support equipment. The timing of freeze up and spring break-up affects the ability to move equipment in and out of these areas. As a result, late March through May is traditionally Precision’s slowest time in this region.

Prior to January 1, 2012, Precision had a deferred share unit plan for non-management directors. Under the plan fully vested deferred share units were granted quarterly based upon an election by the non-management director to receive all or a portion of their compensation in deferred share units. These deferred share units are redeemable into an equal number of common shares any time after the director's retirement. A summary of the activity under this share based incentive plan is presented below:

NOTE 11. CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
 
The business and operations of the Corporation are complex and the Corporation has executed a number of significant financings, business combinations, acquisitions and dispositions over the course of its history. The computation of income taxes payable as a result of these transactions involves many complex factors as well as the Corporation’s interpretation of relevant tax legislation and regulations. The Corporation’s management believes that the provision for income tax is adequate and in accordance with IFRS and applicable legislation and regulations. However, there are tax filing positions that have been and can still be the subject of review by taxation authorities who may successfully challenge the Corporation’s interpretation of the applicable tax legislation and regulations, with the result that additional taxes could be payable by the Corporation and the amount owed, with estimated interest but without penalties, could be up to $58 million. This amount is included in the estimated amount pertaining to the long-term income tax recoverable on the statement of financial position of $65 million.
 
In June 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation lost a tax appeal in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice related to a reassessment of Ontario income tax for the subsidiary’s 2001 thru 2004 taxation years. The Corporation has appealed the decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal and expects this appeal to be heard by mid-2014. Despite the decision in the Superior Court, management believes it is more likely than not that the Corporation will prevail on appeal. Should the Corporation lose on appeal, approximately $55 million of the long-term income tax recoverable related to this issue would be expensed.
