6 1. Organization and nature of operations PRT Forest Regeneration Income Fund (the Fund ) is an open-ended single purpose trust, created under the laws of British Columbia by a Declaration of Trust dated May 14, The Fund is the largest producer of container-grown forest seedlings in North America. The Fund provides seedling growing services from its nurseries in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Oregon. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund, its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Regeneration Technologies Inc. ( PRT or the Company ) and PRT s wholly owned subsidiary companies. 2. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting. These are the Fund s first IFRS condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the part of the period covered by the first IFRS consolidated annual financial statements to be presented in accordance with IFRS for the year ending December 31, 2011 and IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied. Previously the Company prepared its consolidated annual and consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except cash flow information. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Fund s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements resulted in changes to accounting policies as compared with the most recent annual financial statements prepared under GAAP. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. They have also been applied in preparing the opening IFRS balance sheet as of January 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS for which the impact of the transition is explained in note 24. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees on June 2, Seasonality of operations Revenues and cash flow are affected by the PRT s seedling crop cycles and by the seasonality of PRT s customers planting season. As such, fluctuations between quarters occur depending upon the activities and expenditures in the quarter. Comparatively high cost activities, such as harvesting, typically occur in the second and fourth quarters, and accordingly these quarters normally reflect a higher proportion of annual revenues associated with the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. 4. Significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its wholly owned subsidiaries: PRT and PRT USA Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial Page 6

7 statements. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Fund. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts is recognized as a percentage of the contract price, based on the percentage of total direct expenses incurred to total expected direct costs. At this point the amount of revenue, stage of completion and costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred to completion are reliably measurable and it is probable that future economic benefits will result. Total revenue is recognized when seedling crops reach substantial completion, which is defined as meeting all contracted growth specifications. Any excess of revenues recorded using this percentage of completion method over amounts billed is recorded as unbilled revenue in the assets section of the balance sheet (billings in excess of earned revenue is presented as unearned revenue in the liabilities section of the balance sheet). The Fund uses this method of revenue recognition as it can reasonably estimate the expected costs and revenues of the contract based on the Fund s business practices, methods and experience. This method requires estimates of costs and profits over the full duration of the contract. Management regularly revises the underlying estimates of profitability and such adjustments are reflected in the statement of operations when known. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period the loss is determined. Revenue from non-contracted goods and services is recognized when the goods are delivered, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred or the service has been substantially rendered, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Fund. Where services span multiple reporting periods such as over winter tree storage ( cold storage ) revenue is recognized based on the proportion of service rendered at the reporting date. Revenue from all sources is only recognized when collection is reasonably assured. Inventories and biological assets Inventories of supplies are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost (which approximates net realizable value), with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. Seedlings grown for inventory are considered a biological asset and are valued under IAS 41, Agriculture, at market value for finished seedlings where the fair value can be determined, and at cost for seedlings in progress where no fair value is available. Seedlings in process are not marketable as such to establish a fair value, and therefore are valued at cost. Deferred income taxes 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 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 current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. Page 7

8 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. Investment The Fund accounts for investments over which it exercises significant influence using the equity method. Under this method, the initial investment is recorded at cost and the Fund s pro rata share of the investees earnings or losses is included in results of operations. Dividends received are recorded as a decrease in the equity investment. When the Company s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equityaccounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Included in the carrying value of greenhouses and other constructed assets are all costs to construct and put the item into use. For land and buildings, where elected under IFRS 1, deemed cost was established January 1, 2010 as market value. Amortization is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of the asset, then that component is amortized separately. Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. Amortization is calculated and recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method or declining balance method at rates that reflect the estimated useful lives of the components. Amortization related to seedling containers is included in costs of production in the consolidated income statements. Leased assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not amortized. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Buildings and Greenhouses years Equipment and Vehicles 3-25 years Seedling Containers 5 years When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing a component or item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The Company capitalizes borrowing costs for qualifying assets where the construction period exceeds twelve months. Internally constructed assets normally involve greenhouses or open compound space and normal construction time for any one asset is from 1 to 3 months. Page 8

9 Property, plant and equipment held for sale Property, plant and equipment held for sale represents assets being actively marketed for sale, recorded at lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation ceases on assets when they are classified as held for sale. Government grants PRT is under agreement to receive two grants from the BC provincial government and federal government. Both grants correspond to expenditures at the Red Rock nursery which relate to a biomass energy project. Government grants are only recognized when there is reasonable assurance that PRT will comply with the conditions attached to them and reasonable assurance that the grants will be received. IFRS provides two approaches to accounting for government grants: the capital approach and the income approach. PRT has chosen to account for government grants under the capital approach under which the asset is reduced by the grant amount to arrive at the carrying amount of the asset shown on the statement of financial position. The grant is then recognized in profit or loss over the life of a depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense. Intangible assets Intangibles represent patents, customer lists, leases and non-competition agreements recorded on acquisition of subsidiaries. Intangibles are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 20 years. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Impairment of non-financial assets IFRS requires that a long-lived asset should be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. In assessing impairments management has concluded that greenhouses and related structures cannot be tested individually, but rather are grouped together into one cash generating unit for the consideration of impairment. The nature of the PRT business is that, within the current operating year, specific cash flows can be identified with specific locations and therefore the assets at that location. However, from year-to-year the market environment changes enough that PRT cannot specifically identify which types of crops (e.g. species, crop rotation, age, etc.) will be grown at any particular location, and capacity is managed on a pooled basis so that site by site analysis would be inappropriate. Therefore the most appropriate asset grouping over a number of years for an impairment analysis is the entire Company. Where a location is being closed, such that PRT is able to identify the specific cash flows to be associated with the long lived assets at that location in that year, and, where those long-lived assets are not planned to be reused at other nurseries in future years, PRT can identify the appropriate impairment charge for those assets.

10 Leases PRT leases certain items of property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment, where PRT has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. From the beginning of the lease, finance leases are capitalized at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments. PRT s payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation using the effective interest method so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Foreign exchange Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the transaction dates. Monetary account balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary account balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at their historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from the translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated monetary items are included in the determination of net earnings. The Company has determined that the functional currency of the Fund s United States operations is US Dollars. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the operation are recognized in the foreign currency translation reserve in other comprehensive income. Segment reporting: Operating segments are based on the information about the components of the Company used by management to make decisions about operating matters. The subsidiaries of the Company engage in one main business activity, hence operating segment information is not provided. Geographical segment information is provided by country of operations in note 22. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Financial risk management is discussed in greater detail in note 6. The most significant estimates are related to the recoverability of accounts receivable, costs to complete contracts as a basis for revenue recognition, future income tax assets, asset impairment and useful lives for amortization. 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. Page 10

11 Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions cost, except for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. The Company has adopted the following classification for financial assets and financial liabilities: Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss. This financial asset is marked-to market through net earnings at each period end. Any derivative contracts are classified as Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss with marked-to-market adjustments being recorded to net earnings at each period end. Accounts receivable are classified as Loans and Receivables. After their initial fair value measurement, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated unrecoverable amounts. Operating lines, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable and long term debt are classified as at Amortized Cost and are net of any related financing fees or issue costs. After their initial fair value measurement, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. As a result of the Fund s units being redeemable for cash, Units and Unit options are classified as financial instrument liabilities and classified as at Amortized Cost. The cost of cash-settled unit-based transactions is measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes model and expensed over the vesting period. Foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedges. The unrealized portions of these derivatives are marked-to-market each period and recorded on the statement of financial position with unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings each period. Provisions Decommissioning The Fund recognizes provisions in the period that a constructive or legal obligation arises, can be reasonably estimated and is probable that costs will result from the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The Company s activities may give rise to the dismantling or decommissioning of nurseries. A provision is made for the present value of estimated costs based on management s best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Provision estimates are reviewed quarterly and the increase or decrease is recognized as an increase or decrease in the related asset, or if an increase in liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, through profit and loss. Page 11

12 Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on associated assets. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits 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 short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits for voluntary terminations are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer of voluntary termination, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value. Unit based compensation The Fund has a unit based long-term incentive plan as described in note 19. The fair value of the award payable to employees, in the form of Fund Units or cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to payment. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at its fair value each reporting date and at the settlement date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized as an employee expense in profit or loss. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in equity of an enterprise during a year from transactions and other events arising from non-owner sources including gains and losses arising on translation of self-sustaining foreign operations, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets and changes in fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedging instruments Income (loss) per unit Comprehensive income (loss) per unit is calculated based on the net comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Units for the year divided by the weighted average number of Units issued and outstanding during the year. While units are not ordinary common shares, they are treated as such for comprehensive income (loss) per unit calculations. Diluted comprehensive income (loss) per unit is calculated using the treasury stock method under which all options whose exercise price is less than or equal to the average Unit price of the Fund for the year are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the time of vesting if later) and the Fund using the resulting proceeds to purchase its units at the average market price during the year. The purchased units reduce the number of units issued upon exercise of the options and this net number is included in the denominator when calculating diluted comprehensive income per unit. When the effect of options converted into units is anti-dilutive, including when the Fund has incurred a loss for the period, basic and diluted loss per unit are the same. Page 12

13 Capital Contributions The Trust Units do not meet the definition of equity under IAS 32, and are therefore recorded under Net Assets attributable to Unitholders. This classification is a result of the Units being puttable instruments as the holder has an option to redeem Units, as described in note 19, and the Fund has a contractual obligation requiring delivery of Fund income to the Unitholders. The Fund records the capital contribution at the fair value of the Units at their inception and records the amounts subsequent to initial recognition on an amortized cost basis. Direct expenses associated with the initial issuance of the Fund Units are expensed as a financing cost at the date of issuance. Subsequent issuances of Fund Units are recorded at the fair value of the Units at the date of issue. 5. Financial instruments Fair value The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, operating line, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values given the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of finance lease obligations is not expected to differ materially from their respective carrying values, given the interest rates being charged. Management considers that the fair value of the long-term debt approximates its carrying amount because it is floating rate debt and risk is addressed through the renewal of the credit agreements annually. 6. Financial risk management Credit risk The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, represents the Fund s maximum exposure to credit risk. Interest rate risk PRT is exposed to interest rate risk its long-term debt. PRT previously mitigated this risk primarily through the use of interest rate swaps. PRT opted to not renew swaps on debt where arrangements expired in the third quarter of 2009 while considering options to reduce the overall debt. In 2010 all loans with swapped rates were paid out and rate differences realized to income. Liquidity risk PRT manages liquidity through a combination of operating cash flow, an operating line of credit, and a term debt facility; the latter is used to finance long-term capital or project expenditures only. From an operating point of view, the management of the Company s liquidity exposures is centralized by a daily cash concentration process which enables PRT to manage its liquidity requirements according to the actual need of the Company and each nursery. The Company s short- and mid-term liquidity takes into account the maturities of financial assets and liabilities and estimates of cash flows from the operating business. The Company s policy is to use 10 year amortizing debt against its term debt facility. Market risk The business of PRT is highly dependent on the forest industry in Canada. While the Company is not materially dependent on any one customer, regional markets may be impacted by changes in global markets and government regulations and by more consolidated buying decisions by larger customers. Page 13

14 PRT manages and reduces this risk through diversification of operations across a wider variety of customers, and Provincial and State jurisdictions. 7.
