We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trail Tire Distributors Ltd. as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 14 to the financial statements.

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 24, 2003 and operates a wholesale tire distribution business.

2. Change in accounting policy

Effective March 1, 2012 the company changed its accounting policy for income taxes from the taxes payable method to the future income taxes method. The change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively. The impact of the change in accounting policy did not result in any changes to the opening retained earnings of 2013 nor did it result in the recognition of a future tax asset or future tax liability as at February 29, 2012.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises, which is a basis of accounting generally accepted in Canada for entities that are privately held.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Rental revenue earned under a lease agreement is recognized as revenue over the term of the underlying lease. All rent increases based on escalation clauses in lease agreements are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Property taxes, other operating cost recoveries, and other incidental income are recognized on an accrual basis.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

 

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

 

Automotive   -   30% declining balance basis
Office equipment   -   20% declining balance basis
Leasehold improvements   -   5 year straight-line basis
Computer equipment   -   30% declining balance basis
Computer software   -   100% declining balance basis
Manufacturing equipment   -   50% straight-line basis
Shop equipment   -   20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Translation of Foreign Currency

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable and shareholders’ loans.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

13. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s operating line of credit bears interest based at prime and, accordingly, exposes the Company to interest rate risk through fluctuation in the prime rate. As at February 28, 2014 and 2013 there was no amount due on the operating line of credit.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $5,559,850 (February 28, 2013—$6,089,611)

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $5,829 as at February 28, 2014 (February 28, 2013—$64,018).

14. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference

TRAIL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

 

between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.

d) Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Company did not have any cash flows from financing activities and therefore this caption does not appear on the Statements of Cash Flows.

To the Shareholder of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Extreme Wheel Distributors Ltd. as of February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

EXTREME WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

1. Nature of Activities

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on June 27, 2007 and commenced operations as a wholesale wheel business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises, which is a basis of accounting generally accepted in Canada for entities that are privately held.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue accounts receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

 

Automotive    -    30% declining balance basis
Office equipment    -    20% declining balance basis
Leasehold improvements    -    5 year straight-line basis
Computer equipment    -    30% declining balance basis
Shop equipment    -    20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investment using the cost method. The carrying value of the investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and valuation of inventory. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

 

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, shareholder’s advance and loan receivable from related party.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable and loans payable to related parties.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. A previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

11. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is susceptible to concentration of credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remuneration payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had working capital of $2,494,878 (February 28, 2013—$1,732,997)

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $5,812 as at February 28, 2014 (February 28, 2013—$102,054).

12. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement.

 

13


EXTREME WHEEL DISTRIBUTORS LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013

 

The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interest that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kirks Tire Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kirk’s Tire Ltd. as of January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 30, 1990 and operates a tire distribution sales and service business.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance and in compliance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”), as issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”).

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Translation of Foreign Currency

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the respective transaction months. The resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The contracts are measured at fair value and the resulting gains or losses, that would be realized if the position was sold before the valuation dates, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a

 

7


KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

 

variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

 

Automotive

    -       30% declining balance basis

Computer equipment

    -       55% declining balance basis

Manufacturing equipment

    -       30% straight-line basis

Shop equipment

    -       20% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investments using the cost method. The carrying value of each investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income taxes have not been recorded as they are considered insignificant.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

 

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the financial statements are the valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, and the estimated useful life of long-lived assets for purposes of calculating amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, loans payable to related parties and shareholders’ loans.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, the carrying amount of the financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value is reflected in the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumptions.

Notes to the Financial Statements

10. Commitments and Contingency

The Company has provided a continuing guarantee limited to $600,000 to 1707588 Alberta Ltd., a company indirectly owned by a director of Kirk’s Tire Ltd., along with two other companies to assist in the purchase of 134 acres of residential development land.

The Company provides continuing guarantees without limit for the purchase of inventory from Michelin and Cooper Tire made by its related parties.

11. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

The Company is susceptible to concentration of credit risk as its accounts receivable consists of 51% from related parties (January 31, 2013—35%, January 31, 2012—79%) and revenue consists of 64% from related parties (January 31, 2013—66%, January 31, 2012—69%).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At January 31, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $14,043,510 (January 31, 2013—$7,668,895, January 31, 2012—$6,246,293).

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company is susceptible to foreign currency risk on its US dollar cash balance in the amount of $418,984 as at January 31, 2014 (January 31, 2013—$405,552, January 31, 2012—$618,371). The Company mitigates this risk through the use of foreign currency futures contracts.

12. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position.

KIRKS TIRE LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

January 31, 2014, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012

 

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the Company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Preferred shares

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes preferred shares at stated capital value as part of equity if there is not an unconditional obligation for the Company to redeem the shares by transferring an asset on a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. For the Company, there is no unconditional obligation for the preferred shares to be redeemed at the option of the holder at January 31, 2012, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2014, therefore the stated value of the preferred shares has been reported as an equity component.

d) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc. as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 11 to the financial statements.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (EDMONTON) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on December 3, 2004 and operates a wholesale tire distribution business, which fully commenced operations in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 as North Alta Tire Limited and subsequently changed its name to Regional Tire Distributors (Edmonton) Inc.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and volume rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Vendor rebates and allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold. Accordingly, the amount of vendor rebates included in operations in any year could include rebates earned in a prior year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

 

Office equipment

   -  20% declining balance basis

Computer equipment

   -  30% declining balance basis

Shop equipment

   -  20% declining balance basis

Equipment is tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Investments

The company accounts for its investments using the cost method. The carrying value of each investment is reviewed annually and written down below cost if there is a loss of value.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future income tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and the recognition of vendor rebates and allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions.

The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (EDMONTON) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, dividend receivable and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, loans payable to related parties and shareholders’ loan.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

10. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

The Company is susceptible to credit risk on its accounts receivable and mitigates this risk through an extensive credit evaluation process.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect to its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and its management remunerations payable. At February 28, 2014 the company had a working capital balance of $2,950,726 (February 28, 2013—$3,448,205; February 29, 2012—$2,333,056).

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to adverse consequences of interest rate changes on the Company’s cash flows and financial position. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk.

11. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (“ASPE”). The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under ASPE and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Corporation anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable interest entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interest that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Wholly owned subsidiaries and investments subject to significant influence

US GAAP requires the consolidation of subsidiaries, whereas under ASPE the Company elected to record the investment in subsidiaries on the cost method. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Tirecraft Western Canada Ltd., 1773503 Alberta Ltd., and Tire Storage Direct (Edmonton) Ltd.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

The Company also has significantly influence investments in Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc., Regional Tire Distributors Manitoba (6631208 Manitoba Ltd.), Integra Tire and Auto Centres Canada, and Regional Tire Distributors (Saskatchewan) Inc. Under US GAAP, significantly influenced investments are required to be accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, and adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of after tax earnings or losses, and reduced by dividends received, however under ASPE the Company elected to record the significantly influenced investments on the cost method. The accompanying financial information includes consolidated financial statements which reflect the equity method of accounting for these investments and condensed financial statements for each investee company.

The following financial information presents the financial statement as at February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 on a consolidated basis.

d) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.

12. Correction of an Error

Subsequent to the release of the financial statements on June 25, 2014 management changed its assessment of the probability of realizing the future tax asset resulting from the impairment of the loan receivable and has determined that it does not meet the requirements for recognition of the deferred income tax asset and has made some adjustments to the tax provision. As a result of the change in the assessment by management the following changes have been made to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. as of February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises.

Basis of Accounting

As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

1. Nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on October 26, 1987 and operated a wholesale tire distribution business under its original name as South Alta Tire Distributors Ltd. The company changed its name to Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. on October 5, 2010.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the goods have been delivered, the services have been completed, the transaction has been accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company reports its revenue net of returns, sales discounts and rebates to customers.

Interest revenue is recognized on an annual basis as it is earned.

Rental revenue earned under a lease agreement is recognized as revenue over the term of the underlying lease. All rent increases based on escalation clauses in lease agreements are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Property taxes, other operating cost recoveries, and other incidental income are recognized on an accrual basis.

Vendor Rebates and Allowances

The Company participates in various purchase rebate programs with its major tire vendors including early payment incentives and volume purchase rebates based on defined levels of purchase volume. These arrangements enable the Company to earn rebates that reduce the cost of merchandise purchased. Vendor rebates and allowances are accrued as earned. Vendor rebates and allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in the cost of merchandise inventories and are included in operations (as a reduction of cost of goods sold) in the period the related product is sold. Accordingly, the amount of vendor rebates included in operations in any year could include rebates earned in a prior year.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of losses on the accounts receivable balances. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on a variety of factors including accounts receivable aging, historical experience and other currently available information, including events such as customer bankruptcy and current economic conditions. Interest is charged on overdue account receivable balances. A provision is recorded in the period in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

including volume rebates and allowances from vendors. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs necessary to complete the sale. Inventory is reduced for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This reduction is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.

Amortization is calculated at the following annual rates:

 

Office equipment

   - 20% declining balance basis

Computer equipment

   - 30%-100% declining balance basis

Shop equipment

   - 20% declining balance basis

Automotive equipment

   - 30% declining balance basis

Leasehold improvement

   - 5 year straight line basis

Fencing

   - 10% declining balance basis

Property and equipment are tested for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposal. In such a case, an impaired loss must be recognized and is equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount of a long-lived asset over its fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated as of the date of the business combination to the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.

Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss in the carrying amount compared with the fair value is charged to income in the year in which the loss is recognized.

Income taxes

The Company uses the future income taxes method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

obligation, and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A contingent liability is discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability and is re-measured at fair value at each reporting date.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more subjective estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of calculating amortization and valuation of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash, accounts receivable, due from corporate shareholder and loans receivable from related parties.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management remuneration payable, due to corporate shareholders, shareholder’s loan and loans payable to related parties.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs relating to financial instruments that are measured subsequently at fair value are recognized in operations in the year in which they are incurred. For instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost, the amount initially recognized is adjusted for transaction costs directly attributable to the origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption.

12. Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

As at February 28, 2014, the Company has a working capital balance of $7,339,813 (February 28, 2013—$6,261,173; February 29, 2012—$5,989,498)

Interest Rate Risk

13. Asset Purchase

REGIONAL TIRE DISTRIBUTORS (CALGARY) INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

February 28, 2014, February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012

 

14. Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP Reconciliation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. The material differences between the accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and US GAAP are disclosed below.

a) Income Taxes

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realized upon settlement. The difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance represents an unrecognized tax benefit. An unrecognized tax benefit is disclosed as a long-term liability unless the Company anticipates a payment or receipt within one year in respect of the position. As a result of implementing these provisions there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Under US GAAP the Company is required to calculate and record corporate income taxes based on enacted corporate income tax rates. Under ASPE, the Company had calculated and recognized corporate income taxes using substantively enacted corporate income tax rates. For the Company, enacted and substantively enacted corporate tax rates are the same; as a result no differences to calculated and recognized corporate income taxes arise. There are no material differences between the Company’s statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate.

b) Variable Interest Entities

The Company has performed a review of the entities with which it conducts business and has concluded that there are no entities that are required to be consolidated or variable interests that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of ASC Topic 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

c) Preferred shares

Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes preferred shares at stated capital value as part of equity if there is not an unconditional obligation for the Company to redeem the shares by transferring an asset on a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur. For the Company, there is no unconditional obligation for the preferred shares to be redeemed at the option of the holder at January 31, 2012, January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2014, therefore the stated value of the preferred shares has been reported as an equity component.

d) Comprehensive Income

US GAAP requires the presentation of a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company has no items that would cause such presentation to differ from the amounts presented as Net Income in the accompanying financials statements.

The following presents unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013. Since the most recent balance sheet presented in Holdings Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 includes the impact of all completed acquisitions, a pro forma balance sheet as of July 5, 2014 has not been presented. The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31 while prior to the respective acquisition dates, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had fiscal years that ended on February 28, Kirks Tire and RTD each had fiscal years that ended on January 31, Terry’s Tire’s fiscal year ended on December 31 and Hercules’ fiscal year ended on October 31. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 give effect to the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD as if these transactions had occurred on December 30, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year), and includes only factually supportable adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisitions and expected to have a continuing effect.

The Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, RTD, Terry’s Tire and Hercules acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interests. As a result, the total purchase price for each acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The preliminary allocation reflects management’s best estimates of fair value, which are based on key assumptions of the acquisitions, including prior acquisition experience, benchmarking of similar acquisitions and historical data. In addition, portions of the preliminary allocation are dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Upon completion of detail valuation studies and the final determination of fair value, we may make additional adjustments to the fair value allocation, which may differ significantly from the valuations set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final allocation of the purchase price will be completed within the required measurement period in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, but in no event later than one year following the completion of the acquisitions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based on estimates and assumptions, which have been made solely for the purposes of developing such pro forma information. Pro forma adjustments arising from the acquisitions are derived from the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also includes certain purchase accounting adjustments such as increased amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, changes in interest expense on the debt incurred to complete the acquisitions and debt repaid as part of the acquisitions as well as the tax impacts related to these adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is not a projection of our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions, which may be materially different from our actual experience.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the:

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC Regulation S-X, and present the pro forma results of operations of the combined companies based upon the historical information after giving effect to the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD and adjustments described in these footnotes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 are presented as if the acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire, Hercules and RTD had occurred on December 30, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year). Prior to their respective acquisitions, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary each had fiscal years that ended on February 28, Kirks Tire and RTD each had fiscal years that ended on January 31, Hercules had an October 31 fiscal year end and Terry’s Tire had a December 31 fiscal year end. In addition, certain amounts in the Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire and Hercules historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation. See also footnote 2(AE).

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

Hercules Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Hercules” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows:

 

  (A) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for Holdings that is directly related to the Hercules acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

 

  (B) Represents estimated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $1.8 million and $15.4 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The acquired intangible assets consisted of a customer list with a valuation of $147.2 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of eighteen years and a tradename with a valuation of $8.5 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of fifteen years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The $15.4 million for the year ended December 28, 2013 is composed of $14.8 million of customer list amortization and $0.6 million of tradename amortization. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 10% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 15% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for one month and twelve months, respectively. The tradename amortization was based on the tradename value of $8.5 million divided by 15 years for the applicable number of months in the period. In addition, the pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 28, 2013 is net of $0.5 million for the reversal of the amortization of identifiable assets as previously recorded by Hercules that has been eliminated.

  (C) Represents estimated incremental depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair market value of Hercules’ property and equipment, net of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The pro forma adjustment for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included depreciation expense on a straight-line basis for one month and twelve months, respectively. The step-up in fair market value and useful life by asset category is as follows:

  (D) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for Holdings and Hercules that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

 

  (E) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by Hercules, including amortization of deferred financing costs related to Hercules’ debt that was not assumed by Holdings and paid-off in conjunction with the acquisition.

 

  (F) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the issuance of $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Senior Subordinated Notes”) and the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility of $43.3 million, both of which were used to finance the Hercules acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

The estimated increase in interest expense is calculated as follows:

(1) Represents additional interest expense related to the $225.0 million of Additional Senior Subordinated Notes used to finance a portion of the Hercules acquisition, based on a fixed interest rate of 11.5%.

 

(2) Represents additional interest expense related to the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s of $43.3 million U.S. ABL Facility used to finance a portion of the Hercules acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility.

 

(3) Represents additional interest expense related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes original issue discount of $3.9 million which is being amortized over the life of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes, or 52 months.

 

7


(4) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Company’s ABL Facility of $35,000 and $424,000 for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and year ended December 28, 2013 net of historical amortization expense of $47,000 and $400,000 for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and December 28, 2013. Deferred financing costs related to the U.S. and Canadian FILO Facilities totaled $577,000 and are being amortized over the life of the facilities, or 36 months. Deferred financing costs related to the Canadian ABL Facility totaled $871,000 and are being amortized over the life of the Canadian ABL Facility, or 45 months.

 

(5) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes of $661,000 amortized over the life of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes, or 52 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (G) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

 

  (H) Reflects the reclassification of amortization of deferred financing costs in Hercules’ historical statement of operations to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

Terry’s Tire Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Terry’s Tire” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (I) Reflects the reclassification of the operating results for Terry’s Tire commercial and retread businesses from continuing operations, as historically presented, to discontinued operations. As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. Accordingly, pro forma adjustments have been made to reclassify the historical operating results of both the commercial and retread businesses from continuing operations, as historically presented, to discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

 

  (J) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for Holdings that is directly related to the Terry’s Tire acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

 

  (K) Represents an adjustment to Terry’s Tire’s historical consolidated financial statements to reverse their last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) reserve impact on cost of goods sold recorded during the year ended December 31, 2013 to conform to the Company’s accounting policy for inventory valuation using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. No similar adjustment is required for the six months ended July 5, 2014 as Terry’s Tire’s historical interim statement of operations for the six months did not include a LIFO reserve impact to cost of goods sold.

 

8


  (L) Represents estimated amortization of finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $6.3 million and $21.3 million for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The acquired intangible assets were a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $185.8 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 18 years and a favorable leases intangible asset with a preliminary valuation of $0.4 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 5 years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The $21.3 million amortization for the year ended December 28, 2013 consists of $21.1 million of customer list amortization and $0.2 million of favorable lease amortization. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for three months and twelve months, respectively. In addition, the pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 are net of $2.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the reversal of the amortization of identifiable assets as previously recorded by Terry’s Tire that has been eliminated.

 

  (M) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for Holdings and Terry’s Tire that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

 

  (N) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by Terry’s Tire, including amortization of deferred financing costs related to Terry’s Tire debt that was not assumed by Holdings and paid-off in conjunction with the acquisition.

 

  (O) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the issuance of the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility, both of which were used to finance the Terry’s Tire acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

  year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for three months and twelve months, respectively.

 

(3) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of the Term Loan original issue discount of $750,000 using the effective interest method over the life of the Term Loan, or 50 months.

 

(4) Represents additional interest expense for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan of $9.5 million amortized over the life of the Term Loan, or 50 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (P) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments, other than adjustment (Q), using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

 

  (Q) Represents an adjustment to record an income tax benefit on Terry’s Tire historical loss from continuing operations before income taxes using a combined federal and state statutory income tax rate of 39.0% to conform to the Company’s accounting policy for income taxes. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company. Prior to the acquisition, Terry’s Tire was formed and taxed as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. Accordingly, Terry’s Tire did not record any historical income tax expense (benefit).

 

  (R) Reflects the reclassification of transaction expenses related to the acquisition in Terry’s Tire’s historical statement of operations to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

Trail Tire Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Trail Tire” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (S) Represents estimated amortization of a finite-lived intangible asset acquired. The acquired intangible asset consisted of a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $14.7 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

 

  (T)

Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $20.8 million which was used to finance the Trail Tire acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months

  ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (U) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

Extreme Wheel Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Extreme Wheel” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (W) Represents estimated amortization of a finite-lived intangible asset acquired. The acquired intangible asset consisted of a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $4.4 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

 

  (X) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $6.5 million which was used to finance the Extreme Wheel acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (Y) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

Kirks Tire Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “Kirks Tire” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (AA) Represents estimated amortization of a finite-lived intangible asset acquired. The acquired intangible asset consisted of a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $52.8 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 10% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

 

  (AB) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $73.0 million which was used to finance the Kirks Tire acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (AC) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

 

  (AG) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $31.9 million which was used to finance the RTD Edmonton acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (AH) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

 

  (AI) Reflects the reclassification of RTD Edmonton’s historical bank charges to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

RTD Calgary Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “RTD Calgary” columns in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (AJ) Represents estimated amortization of a finite-lived intangible asset acquired. The acquired intangible asset consisted of a customer list with a preliminary valuation of $13.6 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 11% of the value of the customer list and the annual amortization for the second year represents approximately 13% of the customer list value. The pro forma adjustments for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 include amortization for six months and twelve months, respectively.

  (AK) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $20.7 million which was used to finance the RTD Calgary acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.4% for the six months ended July 5, 2014 and 3.5% for the year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility. The six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013 included interest expense for six months and twelve months, respectively. A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of less than $0.1 million for both the six months ended July 5, 2014 and the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (AL) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

 

  (AM) Reflects the reclassification of RTD Calgary’s historical bank charges to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

RTD Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the “RTD” column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2013 are as follows:

 

  (AN) Represents estimated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets acquired. The acquired intangible assets consisted of a customer list with a valuation of $41.2 million that is being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of 16 years, a tradename with a valuation of $1.9 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years and a favorable leases intangible asset with a valuation of $0.4 million that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of four years. The estimated useful lives have been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows. The pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 28, 2013 included amortization for four months consisting of $2.4 million of customer list amortization and $0.2 million of amortization related to the tradename and favorable leases. A projection of future cash flows was utilized in valuing the customer list intangible asset. The Company utilizes the income-forecast method of amortization which is based on the relative annual contribution of cash flows of the asset over its life based on these projected future cash flows. Thus, the amount of the discounted cash flows generated in each year of this projection is used to determine the annual amortization of the customer list for the applicable year, which is then recognized evenly each month in the respective annual period. The annual amortization for the first year represents approximately 17% of the value of the customer list asset.

 

  (AO) Represents the reversal of the interest expense recognized by RTD related to debt that was not assumed by Holdings and paid off in conjunction with the acquisition.

 

  (AP) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $67.0 million which was used to finance the RTD acquisition. In addition, the incremental amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

(1) Represents additional interest expense related to the incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility of $67.0 million used to finance the RTD acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rate of 3.5% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 to calculate the estimated increase in interest expense related to incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility for the period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013, the acquisition date.

 

(2) Represents additional interest expense for the period from January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 for the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Canadian FILO Facility of $592,000 amortized over 17 months and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Canadian ABL Facility of $469,000 amortized over 53 months.

A 0.125% change to interest rates on the Company’s incremental U.S. ABL Facility borrowings would result in a change in pro forma interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.

 

  (AQ) Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 26.7%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the combined Company.

 

  (AR) Represents the reversal of transaction expenses included in the historical results for Holdings and RTD that are directly related to the acquisition and non-recurring.

 

  (AS) Represents the reversal of amortization of inventory step-up included in the historical results for Holdings that is directly related to the RTD acquisition and non-recurring. The carrying value of the acquired inventory was adjusted to the estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort. The step-up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.
