Norsat International Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in US dollars - Unaudited)

 

1.     

Basis of Preparation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 annual audited consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, except when otherwise indicated.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on November 5, 2013.

Seasonal fluctuations

Quarterly results from our three business segments fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to seasonal influences on sales volumes. In our Sinclair Technologies segment, the first and second quarters are historically the strongest, as most of Sinclair’s customers build inventories as they commence installation in the spring and winter seasons. Among our other two segments, the third and fourth quarters are typically the strongest, as these are traditionally the periods when military sales occur. The timing of contract awards also creates significant fluctuations in our quarterly results as some large contracts represent a significant share of sales for a given quarter. The timing of these orders is unpredictable.

2.     

Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the following accounting policies:

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The adoption of IFRS 10 did not require any adjustments to the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off-balance sheet vehicles. The adoption of IFRS 12 did not require any adjustments to the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements explains how to measure fair value by providing a clear definition and introducing a single set of guidance for (almost) all fair value measurements. It clarifies how to measure fair value when a market becomes less active and improves transparency through additional disclosures. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not require any adjustments to the Company’s financial statements.

3.     

Significant Management Judgement and Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to undertake a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from these estimates.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Company’s last annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, with the addition of the following estimates:

Government Repayment:
The Company is required to make annual repayments under the SADI I contract as outlined under Note 6. On a quarterly basis, the Company calculates the repayment based on actual revenues achieved for the reporting period. If the revenue criteria for repayment have been met, a liability will be recognized with a corresponding increase in cost of goods sold. The Company will set up a liability in the period the actual revenues are recognized that cause the grant to become repayable. Given historical sales volume, the accrual for repayment, if any, is likely to be recognized in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Depending on the sales volume achieved during the repayment period, the amount of the repayment can significantly impact our gross margins percentages and amounts.

Business Combinations

 
a.) Acquisition of US-Based Satellite Communication Business

On April 16, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain business assets and assume certain liabilities of CVG, Incorporated (“CVG”), a US-based satellite communication business. The Company financed the transaction with cash from operations. The acquired assets include new products and associated IP that align with the Company’s existing product roadmap and allow the Company to immediately enter new and additional areas within the satellite communications markets with solid state power amplifiers (“SSPAs”), high power block upconverters (“BUCs”), SATCOM baseband kits and Microsatellite terminals (terminals with antenna sizes below 1 metre).

The CVG acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business and the identified assets, and liabilities below are a result of management’s best estimates and assumptions after taking into account all relevant information available. The Company conducted studies and analysis of the acquired assets and liabilities to arrive at the preliminary purchase price allocation below.

The preliminary assessed fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of CVG as at April 16, 2013 are as follows:

Fair value recognized on acquisition  
Assets    
Inventories $ 793,153  
Property and equipment   258,687  
Assets held for sale   32,778   
Total Assets   1,084,618
 
Liabilities      
Accrued liabilities   21,308  
Provisions   533,140  
Total Liabilities   554,448  
       
Total identifiable net assets at fair value $ 530,170  
Purchase consideration transferred $ 530,170  

The preliminary gain on bargain purchase of $47,773 recognized in the second quarter of 2013 was reversed and the amount was reallocated to provisions during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company recognized $32,778 assets held for sale at acquisition date, comprised of assets redundant to the Company’s operation and which the Company intends to dispose of within one year. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company realized $7,800 relating to the disposal of a portion of these assets. As at September 30, 2013, $24,978 of these assets was still being held for sale and is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Purchase consideration

The Company paid cash consideration of $530,170 and financed the purchase from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

As at September 30, 2013, acquisition related costs, including legal, professional fees and relocation expenses amounting to $127,723 have been recognized as a general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

CVG’s contribution to the Company’s results

CVG has contributed the following revenue and net loss to the Company’s results, from the acquisition date to September 30, 2013:

    Revenue     Net earnings/  
          (loss)  
Norsat International Inc. (without CVG) $ 25,419,167    $ 2,015,971  
CVG   320,746     (6,765 )
  $ 25,739,913    $ 2,009,206  

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, the Company’s revenue and net earnings for the period to September 30, 2013 would have been the following:

    Revenue     Net earnings/  
          (loss)  
Norsat International Inc. (without CVG) $ 25,419,167 $ 2,015,971  
CVG   524,857     (11,069 )
  $ 25,944,024   $ 2,004,902  

These amounts have been determined by applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of CVG to reflect additional employee expenses, depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment had been applied from January 1, 2013.

b.) Acquisition of Sinclair Technologies Holdings Inc.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company released $1,000,000 in cash from escrow to the vendors as part of the purchase consideration. The funds were originally held in escrow to act as security for certain events should the Company be subject to any liabilities, claims or similar arising from representation or warranties made by the vendors.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid $755,258 in cash to the vendors, respectively, as part of the purchase consideration, representing full settlement of a promissory note with total principal payments owing of $725,000 and accumulated interest of $30,258.

Government Contributions

 
a.) Strategic Aerospace & Defense Initiative (“SADI I”)

The Company entered into an agreement with the Canadian Federal Minister of Industry (the “Minister”) through the Strategic Aerospace & Defense Initiative (“SADI”) in September 2008 and subsequently amended in October 2011. The Company has claimed the maximum funding of Cdn$5,975,200 under this

Norsat International Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in US dollars - Unaudited)

agreement as at December 31, 2012. As at December 31, 2012, $595,169 (Cdn$592,720) remains in trade and other receivables related to this funding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received the remaining funds of $571,817 (Cdn$592,270) relating to SADI I. As at September 30, 2013, nil remains in trade and other receivables relating to SADI I.

Starting in 2013, the Company is obligated to make annual repayments over the repayment period, with the following terms:

Ø

The repayment period began January 1, 2013 and will continue for 15 years, or until such time as the maximum amount of Cdn$8,962,800 (representing 1.5 times the contributions received) of the actual amounts disbursed by the Minister (Cdn$5,975,200) is repaid, whichever occurs earlier.

 
Ø

Annual repayment amounts under the SADI I repayment period are calculated based on a repayment rate of 0.94% multiplied by gross business revenue as defined in the SADI I agreement multiplied by the adjustment rate (based on the growth of gross business revenue over the previous year). The adjustment factor is based on year-over-year change of gross business revenue.

As at September 30, 2013, the Company has calculated the SADI I repayment amount to be nil as year-to-date actual sales did not meet the criteria for repayment pursuant to the repayment terms of the SADI I agreement and the Company’s accounting policy relating to SADI repayment (see Note 3).

b.) Strategic Aerospace & Defense Initiative (“SADI II”)

On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with the Minister through the SADI whereby the Minister will provide funding of 30% of eligible spending related to the research and development of the aerospace, defence, space or security (“A&D”) technology development projects to a maximum funding amount of Cdn$13,270,265 for eligible costs starting from July 27, 2012 up to and including December 31, 2017 (“SADI II”). The Company is obliged to repay the funding over the SADI II repayment period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded $484,167 and $1,623,990 as a reduction to product development expenses in the condensed interim consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income related to SADI II. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has also recorded $92,337 and $103,517 as a reduction to property and equipment costs relating to SADI II.

As at September 30, 2013, $427,365 (Cdn$450,000) remains in trade and other receivables relating to SADI II for costs incurred.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, total cash received under SADI II was $1,265,385.

SADI II repayment is contingent on performance benchmarks established at the end of the Company’s fiscal 2017 year end and is capped at the lesser of 1.5 times the contribution (actual amounts disbursed by the Minister) and the amounts actually repaid over a period of 15 years, commencing in 2018. Annual repayment amounts are calculated based on a percentage of gross business revenue as defined in the agreement multiplied by the adjustment rate (based on the growth of gross business revenue over the previous year).

As at September 30, 2013, the Company did not accrue any liability for repayment relating to SADI II as the amount to be repaid cannot yet be determined since the repayment amount is contingent on 2018 financial results compared to those achieved in 2017.

As at September 30, 2013, the Company has completed all DTAPP programs and have received all government funding claimed. As a result, nil remains outstanding in trade and other receivables relating to the DTAPP agreements (December 31, 2012 - $36,662 (Cdn$36,623)).

Capital Disclosures

As outlined in Note 6b, the Company has signed a new SADI agreement. Funding is conditional on maintaining certain reporting requirements. As at September 30, 2013, the Company is in compliance with these reporting requirements.

On July 3 , 2013, the Company renewed and amended its existing credit facility with HSBC Bank Canada (the “Bank”). The acquisition loan was extended for 3 years, ending on June 30, 2016. As a result, monthly principal repayments have been reduced to $160,000 (previously $250,000), with applicable interest rate spread ranging from 0.5% to 3.5% (previously 1% to 4%) depending on the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio determined on a rolling 12 month basis based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At the Company’s request, the demand revolving operating line of credit has been reduced to US$2.25 million (previously US$2.8 million). If drawn, applicable interest rates are as follows:

Ø the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 0.5% per annum for amounts outstanding in Canadian dollars (previously the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 1.35% per annum) and/or
 
Ø the Bank’s U.S. Base Rate plus 0.50% per annum for amounts outstanding in US dollars (previously the Bank’s U.S. Base Rate plus 1.35% per annum).

The Company is subject to the following externally imposed capital requirements under its renewed credit facility with the Bank:

Ø Working capital ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) cannot be less than 1.25:1.00 – calculated quarterly,
   
Ø Debt service coverage ratio cannot be (i) less than 1.00 to 1.00 for fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 (ii) less than 1.10 to 1.00 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, (iii) less than 1.20 to 1.00 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and thereafter. The ratio is based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and share-based payments (“EBITDAS”) plus loss on sale of assets less cash taxes, dividends, distributions, advances to related parties, gains on sale of assets and unfunded capital expenditures divided by the aggregate principal and interest payments made during the relevant fiscal year. This ratio shall be calculated annually and based on the Company’s

11

(Expressed in US dollars - Unaudited)

consolidated financial statements. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, the debt service coverage ratio calculation shall exclude business acquisitions (share or asset purchases) from unfunded capital expenditures.

Ø Funded debt to EBITDAS, less unfunded capital expenditures cannot at any time exceed 2.50:1.00 – calculated quarterly, on a rolling 12 month basis. Funded debt includes the Company’s operating line of credit and acquisition loan.

The Company’s existing non-revolving demand loan of US$1,000,000 with the Bank and revolving demand loan of US$900,000 with HSBC Bank of USA remained unchanged.

Accordingly, as at September 30, 2013, the Company has access to undrawn credit facilities totaling $4.2 million and is in compliance with its externally imposed covenants.

The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were:

    Three months ended September 30     Nine months ended September 30  
    2013     2012     2013     2012  
Risk free interest rate 1.57% 1.12% 1.25% 1.26%

Average fair value Cdn$0.17 Cdn$0.15 Cdn$0.19 Cdn$0.24
Forfeiture rate   18%     18%     18%     18%  

A total of 21,000 stock purchase options were granted at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$0.50 and weighted average fair value of Cdn$0.17 during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

A total of 672,928 stock purchase options were granted at a weighted average exercise price of Cdn$0.54 and weighted average fair value of Cdn$0.19 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, nil and 350,302 stock purchase options were granted to senior management and directors at an exercise price of Cdn$0.54 and fair value of Cdn$0.20.

Options vest in 2 years and expire 5 years from the grant date.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.

Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan

RSUs outstanding as at September 30, 2013 were as follows:

  # of RSUs outstanding  
Balance, December 31, 2012 330,272

Settled (108,912 )
Forfeited   (17,032 )
Balance, September 30, 2013   759,952  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 555,624 RSUs to its employees with fair value of $0.50 per share, of which 430,196 RSUs were issued to directors and senior management.

Diluted $ 0.01   $ 0.01   $ 0.03   $ 0.07  

The calculation of assumed exercise of stock options includes the effect of the dilutive options. Where their effect was anti-dilutive because their exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common shares at the end of the periods shown in the table, assumed exercise of those particular stock options were not included.
