MANAGEMENT’S REPORT

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CRH Medical Corporation are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and where appropriate, reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions based upon information available at the time that these estimates and assumptions were made.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of financial information and the safeguarding of assets.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial reporting and internal control. The Board of Directors exercises this responsibility principally through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee consists of directors not involved in the daily operations of the Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for engaging the external auditor, and meets with management and the external auditors to satisfy itself that management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review the financial statements prior to their presentation to the Board of Directors for approval.

The Company’s external auditors, who are appointed by the shareholders, conducted an independent audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and express their opinion thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of CRH Medical Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CRH Medical Corporation, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CRH Medical Corporation as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

2.

Basis of preparation (continued):

 

  (d)

Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments:

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.

Reported amounts and note disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (i)

Use of estimates and assumptions:

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 requiring the use of management estimates relate to the assessment for impairment and useful lives of intangible assets, determining the fair value of share units, estimates supporting reported anesthesia revenues, the recoverability of trade receivables, the valuation of certain long term liabilities and other assets, including liabilities relating to contingent consideration, the vesting term for share units with market and non-market based performance targets, the valuation of acquired intangibles, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the allocation of purchase consideration to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Information relating to these estimates and how they are determined may be found in notes 4, 12, 13, 15 and 19.

 

  (ii)

Judgments:

Significant judgments made by management in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements includes the determination of functional currency and the accounting classification of financial instruments. In conjunction with the Company’s business acquisitions, these judgments also include the Company’s determination of control for the purposes of consolidation and the Company’s definition of a business.

Information relating to significant judgment areas may be found in notes 2, 4 and 12.

Significant accounting policies:

The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the subsidiaries of the Company.

 

  (a)

Basis of consolidation:

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control.

 

  (b)

Cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents, which are carried at amortized cost and are classified as loans and receivables.

 

  (c)

Foreign currency:

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Period end balances of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated to the respective functional currencies using period end foreign currency rates. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in earnings. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

 

  (d)

Revenue recognition:

Revenue from product sales and anesthesia services in the normal course of activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and contractual adjustments. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time the product is shipped, which is when title passes to the customer, and when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, collection is probable and the amount of revenue can be estimated reliably. Revenue from the performance of anesthesia services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of contractual allowances and other discounts. The Company recognizes net patient revenue at the time the anesthesia services are performed; this aligns with when all significant contractual obligations related to the anesthesia services have been satisfied, collection is probable and the amount of revenue can be estimated reliably. Provisions for contractual allowances and discounts are recognized on an accrual basis. These amounts are deducted from gross service revenue to determine net service revenue.

Significant accounting policies (continued):

 

  (e)

Employee benefits:

Salaries and short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under cash bonus plans if the Company has a legal or constructive obligation to pay an amount as a result of services rendered by an employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

 

  (f)

Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in first-out method, and net realizable value. Inventory costs include the purchase price and other costs directly related to the acquisition of inventory, and bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the Company’s ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

 

  (g)

Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where the costs of certain components of an item of property and equipment are significant in relation to the total cost of the item and have different useful lives, they are accounted for and depreciated separately.

The estimated useful lives and the methods of depreciation for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 

Asset    Basis    Rate

Computer equipment

   Declining balance    30%

Computer software

   Declining balance    100%

Furniture and equipment

   Declining balance    20%

Leasehold improvements

   Straight-line    Shorter of initial lease
      term or useful life

Injection mold

 

  

Straight-line

 

  

5 years

 

These depreciation methods most closely reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Estimates for depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting period-end and adjusted if appropriate.

  (h)

Intangible assets:

Intangible assets, consisting of acquired exclusive professional service agreements to provide anesthesia services and the cost of acquiring patents, are recorded at historical cost. For patents, costs also include legal costs involved in expanding the countries in which the patents are recognized to the extent expected cash flows from those countries exceed these costs over the amortization period and costs related to new patents. The amortization term for professional services agreements are based on the contractual terms of the agreements. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the following periods:

 

Asset    Basis    Rate  

Intellectual property rights to the CRH O’Regan System

   Straight-line      15 years  

Intellectual property new technology

   Straight-line      20 years  

Exclusive professional services agreements

   Straight-line      2.5 to 15 years  
     
               

 

  (i)

Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured based on their classification as described below. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or liability, other than financial assets and liabilities classified at fair value through earnings, are added or deducted from the fair value of the respective financial asset or financial liability on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of a financial asset or financial liability classified at fair value through earnings are recognized immediately in earnings.

Financing fees related to debt are recorded as a reduction to the debt balance and amortized to finance expense using the effective interest rate method.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Company’s financial instruments are classified into the following categories: at fair value through earnings, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial instrument and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Significant accounting policies (continued):

 

  (i)

Financial instruments (continued):

 

Financial assets at fair value through earnings are financial assets that are held for trading and include derivative instruments that are not included in a qualifying hedging relationship. Financial assets classified as financial assets at fair value through earnings are initially measured at fair value with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized in earnings.

Financial liabilities classified at fair value through earnings are financial liabilities that are held for trading or designated into this category at inception. Financial liabilities classified as financial liabilities at fair value through earnings include contingent consideration and are initially measured at fair value with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized through earnings. The Company has classified its earn-out obligation as financial liabilities at fair value through earnings.

Other financial liabilities includes trade payables, other payables, note payables and bank indebtedness and are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Company has classified trade and other payables, employee benefit obligations, short term advances, loans, notes payable and bank indebtedness as other financial liabilities.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other categories. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity. When an investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is transferred to earnings. The Company has no instruments classified as available-for-sale.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.

  (j)

Impairment:

Financial assets:

Financial assets not carried at fair value through earnings are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. The Company considers that a financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event which negatively affected the estimated future cash flows has occurred after initial recognition of the asset.

An impairment test is performed, on an individual basis, for each material financial asset. Other individually non-material financial assets are tested as groups of financial assets with similar risk characteristics. Impairment losses are recognized in earnings.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in earnings and reflected in an allowance account against the respective financial asset. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through earnings.

A permanent impairment loss for an available-for-sale investment is recognized by transferring the cumulative loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income to earnings.

Non-financial assets:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating unit). Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An asset’s carrying amount, increased through reversal of an impairment loss, must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  (k)

Income taxes:

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized into earnings except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable earnings, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities but are intended to be settled on a net basis or the tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

  (l)

Share-based compensation:

The Company records share-based compensation related to stock options and share units granted using the fair value based method estimated using either the Black-Scholes model or Binomial method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of grant and expensed as employee benefits over the period in which employees unconditionally become entitled to the award. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

 

  (m)

Share capital:

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, stock options and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

  (n)

Earnings per share:

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held, if applicable. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the income or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held if applicable, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

 

  (o)

Provisions:

Provisions are recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting expected future cash outflows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Management uses judgment to estimate the amount, timing and probability of the liability based on facts known at the reporting date. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as a finance expense.

 

  (p)

Segment reporting:

The Company’s operating segments consist of the sale of medical products and the provision of anesthesia services.

 

  (q)

Finance costs:

Finance cost is primarily comprised of interest on the Company’s notes payable and bank indebtedness and also includes the amortization of costs incurred to obtain loan financing and any fees in respect of arranging loan financing. Deferred finance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related loan financing. Deferred finance costs are presented as a reduction to the related liability.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance expense as the finance costs relate to Canadian dollar denominated debt.

  (r)

Business combinations:

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for an acquisition is measured at the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the equity interests issued at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs that are incurred in connection with a business combination, other than costs associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, any non-controlling interest is measured either at fair value of the non-controlling interest or at the fair value of the proportionate share of the net assets acquired.

Contingent consideration is measured at fair value on acquisition date and is included as part of the consideration transferred. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is re-measured at each reporting date with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in earnings.

 

  (s)

Adoption of new accounting standards:

The Company has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements in Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7), which came into effect on January 1, 2017. Consequently, the Company has provided additional disclosure in relation to the changes in borrowings arising from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 (see note 9). Adoption of this standard had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Amendments, standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective are described in note 3(t).

 

  (t)

New standards and interpretations not yet applied:

 

  (i)

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments:

On July 24, 2014 the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2014)). IFRS 9 (2014) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2014), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The standard also introduces additional changes relating to financial liabilities and amends the impairment model by introducing a new ‘expected credit loss’ model for calculating impairment.

New standards and interpretations not yet applied:

 

  (i)

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments:

IFRS 9 (2014) aligns hedge accounting more closely with risk management. This does not fundamentally change the types of hedging relationships or the requirement to measure and recognize ineffectiveness, however it will provide more hedging strategies that are used for risk management to qualify for hedge accounting and introduce more judgment to assess the effectiveness of a hedging relationship. Special transitional requirements have been set for the application of the new general hedging model.

The Company will adopt IFRS 9 (2014) in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the impact of IFRS 9 and has determined that IFRS 9 will not have a significant impact on the Company. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of disclosures to its future consolidated financial statements.

 

  (iv)

IFRS 15 - Revenue Recognition:

On May 28, 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted.

IFRS 15 will replace IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized.

The new standard applies to contracts with customers. It does not apply to insurance contracts, financial instruments or lease contracts, which fall in the scope of other standards. The Company will adopt IFRS 15 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the impact of IFRS 15 and has determined that IFRS 15 will not have a significant impact on the Company other than additional required disclosures. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of disclosures to its future consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16 – Leases:

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 – Leases, which supersedes IAS 17 – Leases. IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard establishes a single model for lessees to bring leases on-balance sheet while lessor accounting remains largely unchanged and retains the finance and operating lease distinctions. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted, but only if also applying IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with Customers. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on IFRS 16 on its financial statements.

Business combinations (continued):

 

DDAB

In February 2017, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire 51% of the ownership interest in DDAB, LLC (“DDAB”), an anesthesia services provider in Georgia. The estimated purchase price under the agreement was $4,089,791 and was paid via cash. The purchase price was adjusted seven months following the acquisition date for actual cash collections in the months up to purchase. Contingent consideration of $1,183,779 was paid in the third quarter of 2017 with respect to the purchase price adjustment. As part of the transaction, the Company also entered into an operating agreement between it and the non-controlling interest shareholders of DDAB which governs the operation of the acquired business. As a result of the 51% ownership interest acquired and the operating agreement, the Company has acquired control of DDAB and, as a result, 100% of the financial results of DDAB have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, being February 1, 2017. The non-controlling interest of $5,066,763 was determined based on 49% of the fair value of DDAB’s net identifiable assets as estimated by the Company.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the non-controlling interest shareholder of DDAB provided a working capital advance to DDAB totaling $71,819 at March 31, 2017. The working capital advance was repaid as of December 31, 2017.

OGAA

In March 2017, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire 60% of the ownership interest in Osceola Gastroenterology Anesthesia Associates, LLC (“OGAA”), an anesthesia services provider in Florida. The total purchase price under the agreement was $3,401,819 and was paid via cash. As part of the transaction, the Company also entered into an operating agreement between it and the non-controlling interest shareholders of OGAA which governs the operation of the acquired entity. As a result of the 60% ownership interest acquired and the operating agreement, the Company has acquired control of OGAA and, as a result, 100% of the financial results of OGAA have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, being March 15, 2017. The non-controlling interest of $2,267,879 was determined based on 40% of the fair value of OGAA’s net identifiable assets as estimated by the Company.

In conjunction with the acquisition, both the Company and the non-controlling interest shareholder contributed loans of $90,000 and $60,000, respectively. The loans were repaid as of December 31, 2017.

At each reporting period, the company evaluates cash generating units for impairment of the related professional services agreements. At December 31, 2017, the Company identified impairment triggers in the Gastroenterology Anesthesia Associates LLC (“GAA”) and Community Anesthesia LLC (“Community”) cash generating units.

The aggregate carrying amounts of intangible assets allocated to each entity, prior to impairment charges, are as follows:

 

      2017      2016   

  GAA

   $            49,013,454      $            54,510,290

18,706,671 

 

 

 

     $ 63,524,237      $ 73,216,961   

The impairment tests performed for the above entities were based on their value in use and were determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows generated from the continuing use of these units.

Intangible assets (continued):

 

The calculation of value in use was made on the following key assumptions:

 

   

Cash flows were projected based on past experience, using actual operating results and planned results for the near term. Terminal value calculations for each cash generating unit were extrapolated using a constant growth rate equal to the long-term average growth rate in the United States;

 

   

Management applied internally determined discount rates in determining the recoverable amount for these cash generating units. Risk free discount rates were used and risks specific to the assets were factored into the cash flows.

The key assumptions used in performing the impairment tests in 2017 were:

 

  Cash generating unit    Valuation method    Discount rate   Perpetual growth rate  

  GAA

   Value in use    18.0%   1.4%  

  Community

   Value in use    20.50%   1.3%  

The net present value of the expected cash flows was compared to the carrying value of the professional services agreements relating to the cash generating units at year end. Based on management’s analysis, the Company recorded an impairment of the professional services agreement relating to the GAA cash generating unit of $6,653,015. No impairment of the professional services agreement relating to the Community cash generating unit was identified.

At December 31, 2016, there were no indications of impairment identified in respect of these entities and therefore, an estimate of recoverable amount was not completed.

Derivative asset:

On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a cross currency swap with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotia”) to lock in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate on its Canadian dollar denominated Crown Note (note 13) at 1.448. Under the cross currency swap, Scotia was committed to payments on the principal amount of the Crown Note of CAD$22,500,000 at a rate of 12% while the Company was committed to payments on the principal amount of the Crown Note of $15,538,674 at 13.17%.

The Company accounted for the cross currency swap as a derivative financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss and recorded the fair value of the instrument on the balance sheet with changes in the fair value of the instrument recorded through earnings in the period (note 19). In conjunction with the extinguishment of the Crown Note (note 13), the cross currency swap was settled. The Company received a payment of $1,313,874 as a result of settlement of the cross currency swap on June 26, 2017.

Crown Capital Fund III Management Inc. (“Crown Note”)

On December 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow funds in the form of a subordinated note payable from Crown Capital Fund III Management Inc. At inception, the original amount of the note payable was CAD$22,500,000 (USD$19,863,000). The note bore interest at 12% per annum with a decrease to 10% upon repayment and performance in full of the Company’s obligations under its senior credit agreement (see Scotia Facility). Interest on the note was payable on a quarterly basis beginning March 31, 2015, with the payment of the principal scheduled for June 1, 2018. In compensation for its services, the Company paid Crown a combination of cash CAD$1,350,000 (USD$1,191,780) and shares (2,000,000 common shares) in addition to reimbursement of legal costs in relation to issuance of the note. The Crown note was subordinate to the Scotia Facility. The note was classified as an other financial liability and recorded at amortized cost.

In conjunction with an increase to the Scotia Facility in June 2017, noted below, the Company repaid in full the principal owing on the Crown Note of CAD$22,500,000 ($17,043,750), with related interest, prepayment penalties and other extinguishment costs of CAD$1,568,384 ($1,188,051). As a result of the extinguishment of the Crown Note, the Company recorded finance expense of $1,789,882 representing the difference between the carrying value of the loan at extinguishment and the consideration transferred to extinguish its financial obligations under the Crown Note.

The reconciliation of movements in borrowings to cash flows arising from financing activities are as follows:

In conjunction with the 2016 amendment, the Company paid $390,400 in fees to the Bank of Nova Scotia and legal counsel.

On June 26, 2017, the Company amended the Scotia Facility to provide financing of up to $100,000,000 via a revolving and term facility. The amended facility has a maturity date of June 26, 2020.

The amendment was determined to be a substantial modification and the Company extinguished the previous Scotia facility and wrote off deferred financing costs related to the previous facility of $173,511. The Facility is repayable in full at maturity, with scheduled principal repayments on a quarterly basis beginning September 30, 2017 based on the initial principal issued under the term facility. The facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the US prime rate, LIBOR or bankers’ acceptance rates plus an applicable margin. At December 31, 2017, interest on the facility is calculated at LIBOR plus 2.50% on the revolving portion and term portion of the facility. The Facility is secured by the assets of the Company.

Share unit plan:

In June 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved a Share Unit Plan. Employees, directors and eligible consultants of the Company and its designated subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Share Unit Plan. In accordance with the terms of the plan, the Company will approve those employees, directors and eligible consultants who are entitled to receive share units and the number of share units to be awarded to each participant. Each share unit awarded conditionally entitles the participant to receive one common share of the Company upon attainment of the share unit vesting criteria. The vesting of share units is conditional upon the expiry of time-based vesting conditions or performance-based vesting conditions. Once the share units vest, the participant is entitled to receive the equivalent number of underlying common shares.

The Company’s statutory tax rate in Canada in 2017 is reduced from 26% to 23% due to the expected benefits to be derived from the IBA patent program in Canada. In 2018, the Canadian statutory tax rate will increase from 26% to 27%. The Company has recorded the impact of the change in tax rate in 2017. As a result of tax legislation enacted in the U.S. at the end of 2017, the federal corporate tax rate applicable to years after 2017 was substantially reduced. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred income tax expense in respect of its U.S. operations in 2017 at a combined federal and state income tax rate of 26.6% (2016 – 39%).

17.

Capital disclosures:

The Company’s objective in managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to sustain future development of the business. In the management of capital, the Company includes shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company’s objective is met by retaining adequate equity to provide for the possibility that cash flows from assets will not be sufficient to meet future cash flow requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, but is subject to debt covenants in respect of its notes payable and bank indebtedness (note 13). The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2016.

Financial instruments:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, derivative assets, trade and other payables, employee benefit obligations, short term advances, loans, notes payable and bank indebtedness, deferred consideration and the Company’s earn-out obligation. The fair values of these financial instruments, except the derivative asset, certain of the notes payable balances, the deferred consideration and the earn-out obligation, approximate carrying value because of their short-term nature. The earn-out obligation and derivate asset are classified as financial instruments recorded at fair value through earnings. For all other balances, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value; the Scotia Facility is a floating rate instrument and due to the subordinate nature of the Crown Note, management has assessed that the carrying value of this fixed rate instrument reflects fair value.

An established fair value hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

   

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s derivative asset was carried at fair value as disclosed in note 12. The fair value of the derivative asset was determined using models to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows. The derivative asset was considered a Level 2 instrument because, while observable inputs are available, they were not quoted in an active market.

The Company’s earn-out obligation is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Earn-Out Obligation relates to the GAA acquisition in 2014. The total purchase price under the acquisition included an additional $14,655,000 payable within 4.5 years after closing based on the achievement of certain financial performance targets of GAA. This valuation technique included inputs relating to estimated cash outflows under the arrangement and the use of a discount rate appropriate to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company revised its assumptions underlying the discount rate used in the calculation of the fair value of the earn-out obligation to account for changes in the underlying credit risk of the Company and also adjusted the model based on current expectations of the financial performance of GAA for the remainder of the earn-out period. This was performed in conjunction with the impairment analysis performed on the GAA cash generating unit.

Financial instruments (continued):

 

The downward adjustment of the discount rate from 3.80% at December 31, 2016 to 3.59% at December 31, 2017, in conjunction with adjustments to certain of the cash flow probabilities in the model, resulted in a decrease of $11,747,441 to the fair value of the earn-out obligation. The impact of this adjustment was recorded as finance income.

The fair value measurements are sensitive to the discount rate used in calculating the fair values as well as the probability assessments used. A 1% increase in the discount rate would reduce the fair value of the earn-out obligation by $26,819.    During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded accretion expense of $473,738 in relation to this liability, reflecting the change in fair value of the liabilities that is attributable to credit risk.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

 

  (a)

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents by placing these financial instruments with high-credit quality financial institutions and only investing in liquid, investment grade securities.

The Company has a number of individual customers and no one customer represents a concentration of credit risk.

The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement within anesthesia services expense and product sales expense. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectible it is written off against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the income statement.

Financial instruments (continued):

 

  (c)

Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of the financial instruments held.

 

  (i)

Foreign currency risk:

The majority of the Company’s sales and purchases are made in U.S. dollars. However, certain of the Company’s revenues and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk reflects the risk that the Company’s earnings will be impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. The objective of the Company’s foreign exchange risk management activities is to minimize transaction exposures and the resulting volatility of the Company’s earnings. The Company manages this risk by pricing sales in U.S. dollars or the currency of the expenses being incurred. The Company has not entered into any forward foreign exchange contracts as at December 31, 2017. Due to the immaterial nature of the Company’s Canadian dollar revenues and expenses, foreign currency risk in this area is considered low. Similarly, foreign currency risk in respect of foreign currency denominated working capital balances is also low due to its limited value and exposure.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had a Canadian dollar denominated loan. The Company had entered into a cross currency swap to mitigate foreign currency risk in respect of the loan (note 12). Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the loan were included in earnings, but offset by gains and losses arising on the cross currency swap derivative contract. As a result, with all other variables held constant, a 10% point increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would not have had a material impact on net income.

 

  (ii)

Interest rate risk:

As at December 31, 2017, the Company’s only interest bearing liability is its Scotia Facility. With respect to the Company’s Scotia Facility, with all other variables held constant, a 10% point increase in the interest rate would have reduced net income by approximately $164,000 (2016 - $92,000) for the year ended December 31, 2017. There would be an equal and opposite impact on the net income with a 10% point decrease.

  (b)

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it may be obligated to indemnify third parties with respect to certain matters. These obligations include, but are not limited to contracts entered into with physicians where the Company agrees, under certain circumstances, to indemnify a third party, against losses arising from matters including but not limited to medical malpractice and product liability. The impact of any such future claims, if made, on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to final outcome of these potential claims.
