BALLARD POWER SYSTEMS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Unaudited
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except number of shares)
 

1. Reporting entity:
     
The principal business of Ballard Power Systems Inc. (the “Corporation”) is the design, development, manufacture, sale and service of fuel cell products for a variety of applications, focusing on motive power (material handling and buses) and stationary power (back-up power and distributed generation) markets; and engineering services for a variety of fuel cell applications. A fuel cell is an environmentally clean electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel with oxygen (from the air) to produce electricity. The Corporation’s technology is based on proton exchange membrane (“PEM”) fuel cells.
 
The Corporation is a company domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 9000 Glenlyon Parkway, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5J 5J8. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 comprise the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
 
2. Basis of preparation:
 
(a) Statement of compliance:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except as described in note 3 below. As described in note 3, the Corporation has adopted new IFRS standards effective January 1, 2013. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on July 31, 2013.
 
(b) Basis of measurement:
 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

 
  • Financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale are measured at fair value;
     
  • Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; and
     
  • Employee future benefits liability is recognized as the net total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation, less the fair value of plan assets.

Basis of preparation (cont’d):

       
(c) Functional and presentation currency:
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.
 
(d) Use of estimates:
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires the Corporation’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
 
Significant areas having estimation uncertainty include revenue recognition, asset impairment, warranty provision, inventory provision, employee future benefits, and income taxes. These estimates and judgments are discussed further in note 4.
 
(e) Going concern:
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Corporation will continue as a going concern. The Corporation is required to assess its ability to continue as a going concern or whether substantial doubt exists as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as going concern into the foreseeable future. While the Corporation believes that it has adequate liquidity in cash and working capital to finance its operations, there are material risks and uncertainties that cause substantial doubt as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business is dependent upon the Corporation having adequate liquidity and achieving profitable operations that are sustainable. There are various risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation including, but not limited to, the market acceptance and rate of commercialization of the Corporation’s products, the ability of the Corporation to successfully execute its business plan, and general global economic conditions, certain of which are beyond the Corporation’s control.

2.

Basis of preparation (cont’d):

       
(e) Going concern (cont’d):
 
The Corporation’s strategy to mitigate these risks and uncertainties is to execute a business plan aimed at continued focus on revenue growth, improving overall gross margins, and managing operating expenses and working capital requirements. Failure to implement this plan could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and or results of operations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments or disclosures that would be required if assets are not realized and liabilities and commitments are not settled in the normal course of operations.

3.

Changes in accounting policies:

       

The accompanying financial information reflects the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, with the exception of the following new accounting standards that were issued by the IASB and adopted by the Corporation, effective January 1, 2013. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the basis of presentation adopted in the current period.

 
(a) IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements:
 
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities, and certain parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 uses control as the single basis for consolidation, irrespective of the nature of the investee, employing the following factors to identify control:
       
a)   power over the investee;
 
b) exposure or rights to variable returns from involvement with the investee;
 
c) the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
 

The adoption of IFRS 10 does not change the Corporation’s conclusions around control of its investees, and therefore no adjustments to previous accounting for investees are required in the consolidated financial statements.


(b) IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements:
       
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 requires that joint ventures be accounted for using the equity method of accounting and eliminates the need for proportionate consolidation.
 
The Corporation is not impacted by the adoption of IFRS 11, and no adjustments to the consolidated financial statements are required.

Changes in accounting policies (cont’d):

       

(c)

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurements:

 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement establishes a single framework for fair value measurement of financial and non-financial items. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also requires disclosure of certain information on fair value measurements.

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Corporation has included additional fair value disclosures in its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 
(d) Amendments to IAS 19 – Employee Benefits:
 
The amendments to IAS 19 significantly change the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits, and enhance the disclosures for all employee benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are renamed “remeasurements” and are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).
 
Remeasurements recognized in OCI are not recycled through profit or loss in subsequent periods. The amendments also accelerate the recognition of past service costs whereby they are recognized in the period of a plan amendment. The annual expense for a funded benefit plan is computed based on the application of the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. The amendments to IAS 19 also impacts the presentation of pension expense as benefit cost is split between (i) the cost of benefits accrued in the current period (service cost) and benefit changes (past-service cost, settlements and curtailments); and (ii) finance expense or income.
 
The Corporation’s previous accounting policy for employee benefits relating to the presentation of pension expense and the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses in OCI was predominantly consistent with the requirements in the new standard, and accordingly the Corporation does not expect any material adjustments to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of the new standard.
 
(e) Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements:
 
The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements require items of other comprehensive income and the corresponding tax expense to be grouped based on whether they will or will not be classified to the statement of earnings in the future.
 
In accordance with the amendments to IAS 1, the Corporation has modified its statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

4. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty:
     
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Corporation’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
 
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:
 
Critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying the Corporation’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is limited to management’s assessment of the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern (note 2(e)).
 
The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are detailed in note 3 of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, with the exception of the new accounting standards adopted by the Corporation effective January 1, 2013, detailed in note 3 of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
Key sources of estimation uncertainty:
 
The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses within the next fiscal year.
 
(a) Revenue recognition:
 
Revenues under certain contracts for product and engineering development services, provide for receipt of payment based on achieving defined milestones or on the performance of work under product development programs. Revenues are recognized under these contracts based on management’s estimate of progress achieved against these milestones or on the proportionate performance method of accounting. Changes in management’s estimated costs to complete a contract may result in an adjustment to previously recognized revenues.

4. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d):
     
(b) Asset impairment:
 
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
 
The Corporation’s most significant estimates and assumptions involve values associated with goodwill and intangible assets. These estimates and assumptions include those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and the determination of cash generating units. At least annually, the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets is reviewed for potential impairment. Among other things, this review considers the fair value of the cash-generating units based on discounted estimated future cash flows. This review involves significant estimation uncertainty, which could affect the Corporation’s future results if the current estimates of future performance and fair values change.
 
(c) Warranty provision:
 
In establishing the warranty provision, management estimates the likelihood that products sold will experience warranty claims and the cost to resolve claims received. In making such determinations, the Corporation uses estimates based on the nature of the contract and past and projected experience with the products. Should these estimates prove to be incorrect, the Corporation may incur costs different from those provided for in the warranty provision. Management reviews warranty assumptions and makes adjustments to the provision at each reporting date based on the latest information available, including the expiry of contractual obligations. Adjustments to the warranty provision are recorded in cost of product and service revenues.
 
(d) Inventory provision:
 
In determining the lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory and in establishing the appropriate impairment amount for inventory obsolescence, management estimates the likelihood that inventory carrying values will be affected by changes in market pricing or demand for the products and by changes in technology or design which could make inventory on hand obsolete or recoverable at less than the recorded value. Management performs regular reviews to assess the impact of changes in technology and design, sales trends and other changes on the carrying value of inventory. Where it is determined that such changes have occurred and will have an impact on the value of inventory on hand, appropriate adjustments are made. If there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventory on hand, reversals of previous write-downs to net realizable value are made. Unforeseen changes in these factors could result in additional inventory provisions, or reversals of previous provisions, being required.

4. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d):
       
(e) Employee future benefits:
 
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
 
Determination of benefit expense requires assumptions such as the discount rate to measure obligations, expected plan investment performance, expected healthcare cost trend rate, and retirement ages of employees. Actual results will differ from the recorded amounts based on these estimates and assumptions.
 
(f) Income taxes:
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities, of a change in tax rates, is included in income in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Management reviews the deferred income tax assets at each reporting period and records adjustments to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
 
5. Discontinued operations – Disposition of Material Products division:
 
On January 31, 2013, the Corporation completed an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Material Products division for gross cash proceeds of $10,500,000 (on the delivery of net working capital of $3,700,000) and additional potential proceeds of up to $1,500,000. The additional proceeds of up to $1,500,000 are payable in 2014 and 2015, through a product credit, if the former Material Products division attains certain financial results in 2013. As the additional potential proceeds are contingent in nature, they are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until actually realized. Excluding any potential contingent gain from the additional proceeds, net proceeds from the sale were approximately $9,044,000 after deducting for working capital adjustments, broker commissions and expenses, and legal and other expenses. The Material Products division has been classified and accounted for as discontinued operations.

The convertible debenture is redeemable at the option of Dantherm Power subject to approval by all convertible debenture holders on or after January 1, 2013 including interest which is accrued at 12%. Prior to the maturity date, the convertible debenture holders may elect to convert all or part of the debenture into shares of Dantherm Power. During the first quarter, an extension of the maturity date from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014 was approved by the subscribers in accordance with the terms of the convertible debenture. The convertible debentures were issued with a conversion price of either DKK 3.40 or DKK 0.14. This conversion feature was determined to have a nominal value.

On March 31, 2013, an additional $640,000 of convertible debt financing was advanced to Dantherm Power by Azure, a new non-controlling partner (note 8). The issued convertible debenture notes totaling approximately DKK 3,733,000 ($652,000) were comprised of a note for DKK 2,400,000 ($419,000) with a conversion price of DKK 3.40 ($0.59) and a note for DKK 1,333,000 ($233,000) with a conversion price of DKK 0.14 ($0.02) and have a maturity date of December 31, 2014.

At June 30, 2013, the convertible debt outstanding was $3,232,000, which includes $104,000 of interest payable.

The revolving credit facility makes available a revolving facility to Dantherm Power of a maximum aggregate amount of DKK 2,977,975 ($520,000) from the non-controlling partner, Dantherm A/S. Interest is accrued at 6% and the facility matures on December 31, 2014.

13. Equity:
 
(a)

Share capital:

 

On March 26, 2013, the Corporation closed an underwritten offering (“Offering”) of 7,275,000 for gross Offering proceeds of approximately $8,003,000. Each unit in the Offering was comprised of one common share priced at $1.10 and one warrant to purchase one common share priced at $1.50. The common shares and warrants were immediately separable and issued separately, and no units were issued or certificated. The warrants were certificated, exercisable immediately upon issuance, and have a 5 year term. As the shares and warrants were both classified as equity instruments, the common shares and warrants were accounted for as a single equity instrument.

(a)

Share capital (cont’d):

 

Net proceeds from the Offering was approximately $6,839,000 after deducting for underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses, as follows:

     
Gross Offering proceeds (7,275,000 shares at $1.10 per share) $      8,003  
Less: Underwriting expenses (642 )
Less: Other financing expenses   (522 )
Net Offering proceeds $ 6,839
 

At June 30, 2013, 99,314,186 common shares and 7,275,000 warrants were issued and outstanding.

 
(b)

Convertible promissory note:

On March 28, 2013, the Corporation completed an agreement with Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo”), under which Anglo invested $4,000,000 in the Corporation through its Platinum Group Metals Development Fund, to support continued commercial advancement of the Corporation’s fuel cell products in target market applications. The investment takes the form of a 5 year non-interest bearing convertible promissory note (“Note”). The Note may be repaid in the form of the Corporation’s common shares at Anglo’s option on or before the loan maturity date of April 1, 2018. Anglo does not have a right to demand settlement of the Note in cash. Any common shares issued on conversion or repayment will be priced at a 20% discount to the market price of the shares on the closing date of the transaction, which equates to approximately $0.84 per share, or 4,761,904 common shares. On the maturity date, the Corporation may elect, at its sole and entire discretion, to repay the Note in cash, however, the Corporation intends to settle the Note by issuing the Corporation’s common shares based on the $0.84 per share conversion price. As the convertible price and share settlement amount are fixed, and the Corporation has no intention to settle the Note in cash, the $4,000,000 proceeds and conversion right has been accounted for as a single equity instrument and recorded in contributed surplus.

(c) Share options:

As at June 30, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase 7,050,284 and 7,055,431 common shares, respectively, were outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compensation expense of $209,000 and $464,000 (2012 - $321,000 and $757,000) was recorded in net income, respectively, based on the grant date fair value of the awards recognized over the vesting period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, options to purchase nil and 1,081,250 (2012 – nil and 797,504) common shares were granted with a weighted average fair value of $nil and $0.63 (2012 – $nil and $0.89). The granted options vest annually over three years.

Deferred share units:

 

As at June 30, 2013 and 2012, 516,510 and 243,153 deferred share units (“DSUs”), respectively, were outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 36,403 and 109,219 DSUs were issued, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $135,000 and $339,000 of compensation expense was recorded in net income, of which $67,000 and $141,000 relates to DSUs granted during the respective periods. The remaining $68,000 and $198,000 relates to compensation expense expected to be earned for DSUs not yet issued.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 24,292 DSUs were issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, $103,000 of compensation expense expected to be earned for DSUs but not yet issued was recorded in net income. However, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, it was determined that these DSUs were no longer expected to be issued and the previously recorded compensation expense was reversed. The reduction to compensation expense was offset by $28,000 of compensation expense recorded for DSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The net impact on compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was a net reduction of $75,000 and a net increase of $28,000, for the respective periods.

 
(e)

Restricted share units:

 

As at June 30, 2013 and 2012, 3,214,917 and 2,530,674 restricted share units (“RSUs”), respectively, were outstanding. Each RSU is convertible into one common share. The RSU’s vest after a specific number of years from date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, are contingent on achieving specific performance criteria. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, nil and 1,327,266 (2012 – nil and 1,167,847) RSUs were issued. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compensation expense of $557,000 and $1,014,000 was recorded in net income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, previously recorded compensation expense was reversed as certain outstanding RSUs were now expected to fail to meet the vesting criteria, resulting in a net increase to net income of $723,000 and $309,000, for the respective periods.

Operating segments:

       

As a result of the disposition of the Material Products division (note 5), the former Material Products segment has been classified as discontinued operations and therefore has been removed from the continuing operating results. The Corporation now operates in a single segment, Fuel Cell Products.

 
18.

Financial instruments:

 
(a)

Fair value:

 

The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, investments, trade and other payables, and finance lease liability. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Corporation’s investments (note 18(c)) are not actively traded, therefore management estimates fair value using valuation techniques that require inputs that are unobservable, including inputs made available by its investees (i.e. Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). The interest rates applied to the finance lease liability are not considered to be materially different from market rates, thus the carrying value of the finance lease liability approximates fair value. The carrying value of short-term investments equal their fair value as they are classified as held for trading.

18. Financial instruments (cont’d):

(a) Fair value (cont’d):
     
Fair value measurements recognized in the statement of financial position must be categorized in accordance with the following levels:
     
(i) Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
     
(ii) Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
 
(iii) Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
     
The Corporation categorized the fair value measurement of its short-term investments in Level 1 as they are primarily derived directly from reference to quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets.
     
(b) Carrying value:
     
As of June 30, 2013, the carrying values of the Corporation’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. For the Corporation’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, no fair value measurements were made as at June 30, 2013 with the exception of the investment in Chrysalix, which was written down to its estimated net realizable value (note 18(c)).
     
(c) Investments:
     
Investments are comprised of the following:
 
June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
      Percentage Percentage
Amount   ownership       Amount ownership
      Chrysalix Energy Limited Partnership $      300 15.0%   $      659       15.0%
Other 7 8  
$ 307 $ 667  
 

The Corporation’s 15% ownership share in Chrysalix Energy Limited Partnership (“Chrysalix”) is accounted for as an available-for-sale financial asset and recorded at fair value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Corporation made an additional capital contribution in Chrysalix of $4,000 and subsequently recorded an impairment loss of $363,000 to adjust the carrying value of Chrysalix to its estimated net realizable value of $300,000.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation made additional capital contributions in Chrysalix of $nil and $44,000, which was offset by cash distributions received from Chrysalix of $12,000 and $12,000, for the respective three and six month periods.
