(b)         Cummins Westport Inc.:

 

The Company entered into a joint venture with Cummins on March 7, 2001.  On December 16, 2003, the Company and Cummins amended the joint venture agreement (“JVA”) focusing CWI on developing markets for alternative fuel engines.  In addition, the two companies signed a Technology Partnership Agreement that creates a flexible arrangement for future technology development between Cummins and the Company.

 

The Company has determined that CWI is a variable interest entity. Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors. No one shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI. The Board of Directors has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the governing documents. As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared. Accordingly neither party is the primary beneficiary.

 

On February 20, 2012, the JVA was amended and restated to provide for, among other things, clarification concerning the scope of products within CWI. In addition, the parties have revised certain economic terms of the JVA.

 

Under the prior JVA, CWI had a global exclusive right to design, engineer, and market mid-range on-road spark-ignited natural gas engines based on Cummins diesel engines manufactured in Cummins facilities. The Company and Cummins have agreed in the amended and restated JVA to focus CWI’s future product development on North American markets including engines for on-road applications between the displacement range of 5.9 litres through 12 litres and to have these engines manufactured in Cummins North American plants.

 

The joint venture will now have a term of ten years and can be terminated under certain circumstances before the end of the term, including in the event of a material breach of the agreement by, or in the event of a change of control of, one of the parties.

 

Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI. Under the new JVA, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established revenue baseline, then any excess profit will be allocated 75% to the Company and 25% to Cummins.

 

The Company has not historically provided and does not intend to provide financial or other support to CWI that the Company is not previously contractually required to provide.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized its share of CWI’s income of $13,232 (nine months ended December 31, 2011 - $12,958; year ended March 31, 2011 - $7,999), as income from investment accounted for by the equity method.

 

Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of CWI as of and for the periods presented are as follows (amounts as at December 31, 2011 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended March 31, 2011 had previously been consolidated and in 2012 have been retrospectively deconsolidated as described in note 2(a)):
