Liquidity

Management is required to assess if the Company will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following the issuance of its financial statements. The Company has a portion of a loan facility that is maturing in the first quarter of 2018 and expects that spot tanker rates in 2017 will be lower than those of 2016, resulting in lower cash flow from vessel operations.

Based on these factors, over the one-year period following the issuance of these financial statements, the Company expects it will need to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to amounts generated from operations, to meet its minimum liquidity requirements under its financial covenants. These anticipated additional sources of financing include a sale-leaseback financing transaction (see note 15) and the refinancing of the loan facility maturing in the first quarter of 2018.

The Company is actively pursuing the alternatives described above, which it considers probable of completion based on the Company’s history of being able to refinance loan facilities for similar types of vessels and Teekay Tankers’ history of being able to obtain additional debt financing for existing vessels. In addition, the Company expects to obtain liquidity as a result of the merger with TIL, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 (see note 5b).

Based on the Company’s liquidity at the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, the liquidity it expects to generate from operations over the following year, and by incorporating the Company’s plans to raise additional liquidity that it considers probable of completion, the Company estimates that it will have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the one-year period following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
