AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors of
Concert Industries Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Concert Industries Corp. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)
Year ended December 31, 2008
 
1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS:
 
Concert Industries Corp.  (the “Company”) is incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act and its principal business activity is the manufacture and sale of thermal, latex and multi-bonded airlaid fabrics.
 
2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
(a) Basis of presentation:
 
The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at December 31, 2008 includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries including its significant operating subsidiaries Concert GmbH, AA-Tech Systems Advanced Airlaid Technology GmbH and Concert Airlaid Ltée. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
(b) Cash and cash equivalents:
 
Cash equivalents include short term deposits with terms to maturity of ninety days or less when acquired.
 
(c) Inventory:
 
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method.
 
(d) Property, plant and equipment:
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is determined as follows:
 
     
Asset
   
 
Airlaid plant and equipment
  Straight-line over 15 years
Buildings
  Straight-line over 25 years
Leasehold improvements
  Straight-line over the life of the lease
Furniture and equipment
  Straight-line over 5 years
 
(e) Government grants:
 
Any government grants received by the Company are applied to reduce the capital cost of the Company’s Airlaid plant and equipment in the period the grant is received.
 
(f) Impairment of long-lived assets:
 
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
 
(g) Asset retirement obligations:
 
The Company is required to recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Upon


7


 

 
CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
initial recognition of the liability, the Company capitalizes an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This asset retirement cost is amortized over the life of the related asset. At the end of each period, the liability is increased to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement (additional asset retirement costs).
 
(h) Foreign currency translation:
 
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar and that of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The foreign subsidiaries are self-sustaining. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into Canadian dollars using the current rate method whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date and revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Gains and losses on translation are deferred and included as the cumulative translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.
 
In addition, the Company enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies that have been translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
 
(i) monetary assets and liabilities at year-end rate;
 
(ii) all other assets and liabilities at rates in effect on the transaction date; and
 
(iii) revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
 
Exchange gains and losses arising from these transactions are reflected in results from operations.
 
Exchange rates for Euros to Canadian dollars for December 31, 2008: the spot rate was 1.7046 (2007 — 1.4428) and the average rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 1.5564 (2007 — 1.4734).
 
(i) Use of estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas requiring significant estimates include provision for sales returns and customer rebates, valuation of accounts receivable, inventory, future income tax assets, and property, plant and equipment, income tax expense and stock-based compensation.
 
(j) Research and development expenses:
 
Research costs net of related investment tax credits and other amounts recoverable are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Development costs are expensed in the year incurred unless such costs meet the criteria under generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization.
 
(k) Revenue recognition:
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the risk of ownership and title to the product passes to the customer, which is when goods are shipped, and collectibility of amounts due from customers is probable. A reserve for sales returns and customer rebates are recognized based on historical experience and contractual obligations at the time revenue is recognized. Customer volume rebates are provided for over the term of the contract based on estimated sales volumes and the corresponding rebates payable.

CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
(l) Stock-based compensation:
 
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in note 14. The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to non-employees, and employee awards that are direct awards of stock, call for settlement in cash or other assets, or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, granted on or after January 1, 2006, using the fair value based method.
 
Under the fair value based method, compensation cost attributable to awards to employees that are direct awards of stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, is measured at fair value at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. Compensation cost attributable to awards to employees that call for settlement in cash or other assets is measured at intrinsic value and recognized over the vesting period. Changes in intrinsic value between the grant date and the measurement date results in a change in the measure of compensation cost. For awards that vest at the end of the vesting period, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis; for awards that vest on a graded basis, compensation cost is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period.
 
(m) Income taxes:
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the tax assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered “more likely than not” to be realized.
 
(n) Financial instruments:
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Section 3251, Equity; Section 3855, Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement; and Section 3865, Hedges prospectively.
 
Upon adoption of these standards, the Company measured its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value resulting in no material impact to opening retained earnings. Also upon adoption, derivative instruments associated with the designated hedges were recorded at fair value and the effective portion of the hedges were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified as held for trading with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Short-term indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, shareholder loan and long-term debt are classified as other financial liabilities. Forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts are classified as held for trading unless they are accounted for as a hedge.
 
Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless designated as hedging instruments. All derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are measured at fair value. For derivatives that hedge variability in cash flows, the effective portion of changes in the derivatives’ fair value is initially recognized in other comprehensive income, and will subsequently be reclassified to net income in the periods affected by the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item.
 
The Company uses derivative instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in cash flows resulting from foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk related to fixed price and/or foreign denominated sales and purchases, including

CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
anticipated transactions. The Company’s policy is not to enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
 
Certain derivative instruments that are held for economic hedging purposes, and do not meet the requirements of Section 3865, are classified as held for trading with the changes in fair value being recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in the change in fair value of derivative instruments.
 
When derivative instruments are used, the Company determines whether hedge accounting can be applied. Where hedge accounting is appropriate, the Company designates the hedged relationship as a cash flow hedge. All designated hedges are formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and the strategy undertaking the hedge transaction. The documentation identifies the specific asset or liability being hedged, the risk that is being hedged, the type of derivative used and how effectiveness will be assessed. The Company assesses whether the derivatives are highly effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting changes in forecasted cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged both at inception and over the life of the hedge. Furthermore, accumulated ineffectiveness is measured over the life of the hedge. The effective portion of the hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of operations in the change in fair value of derivative instruments.
 
(o) Transaction costs:
 
Transaction costs related to long-term debt are deducted from the initial carrying amount of the long-term debt and are amortized using the effective interest rate method.
 
3.   ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
(a) Capital disclosures:
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accounts (“CICA”) Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. This new Handbook Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. It requires the disclosure of information about an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. These new disclosures are included in note 15.
 
(b) Financial instruments:
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments — Presentation.
 
Section 3862 requires entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments on the entity’s financial position and its performance and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks.
 
Section 3863 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equities, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset.
 
The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the Company’s financial instruments. The new disclosures pursuant to these new Handbook Sections are included in note 16.

(c) Inventories:
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new standards for inventories in accordance with the CICA Handbook Section 3031, Inventories which replaced the previous Handbook Section 3030, Inventories. The standard provides more guidance on the measurement and disclosure requirements for inventories. In accordance with the transitional provisions of this Section, the Company has retrospectively adopted the new standard for inventories. As a result of adopting this Section, the opening balance of the retained earnings in fiscal 2007 has been increased by $560 to $2,714 to reflect the change in measurement of inventories under the new standard.
 
4.   FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
In February 2008, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Section 3064, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs, establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The provisions relating to the definition and initial recognition of intangible assets, including internally generated intangible assets, are equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) IAS 38, Intangible Assets. This new standard is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements commencing January 1, 2009. The Company is assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Net future income tax assets
  $ 15,370     $ 12,064  
                 
 
In making an assessment of whether future income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, management prepares information regarding the expected use of such assets by reference to its internal income forecasts. The ultimate realization of future income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which the temporary differences are deductible and the available non-capital loss carry forwards can be utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future income tax liabilities, the character of future income tax assets and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
No valuation allowance has been recorded in relation to future income tax assets related to deductible temporary differences of the European operations.
 
Based on management’s best estimates of the expected realization of future income tax assets, during 2008 the Company reduced the valuation allowance relating to its North American operations to reflect that it is more likely than not that certain future income tax assets will be realized.
 
The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have non-capital loss carry forwards in Canada for federal income tax purposes of approximately $155,000 which can be used to offset future Canadian taxable income. These losses expire as follows:
 
         
2013
  $ 13,000  
2014
    136,000  
2015
    6,000  
         
    $ 155,000  
         
 
The Company believes that it has adequately provided for income taxes based on all of the information that is currently available. The calculation of income taxes in many cases, however, requires significant judgement in interpreting tax rules and regulations. The Company’s tax filings are subject to audits, which could materially change the amount of current and future income tax assets and liabilities, and could, in certain circumstances, result in the assessment of interest and penalties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The Company has determined the fair values of its financial instruments as follows:
 
  •  Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loan carrying amounts approximate their fair values as a result of the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments.
 
  •  The fair value of long-term debt has been estimated based on a discounted cash flow approach using current market rates. The fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2008 is $54,438 (2007 — $24,076).
 
  •  The fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts and other derivative instruments are based on estimated market prices.

    2008     2007  
 
Trade receivables
  $ 23,132     $ 25,017  
Allowance for doubtful accounts

    $ 30,660     $ 27,760  
                 
 
(b)  Overview:
 
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board reviews the Company’s risk management policies on an annual basis.
 
(c)  Credit risk:
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
 
The Company has adopted a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered.


18


 

 
CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
When available, the Company reviews credit bureau ratings, bank accounts and financial information for each new customer. Customers that fail to meet the Company’s established credit policy are required to provide cash in advance or other terms that mitigate risk to appropriate customer levels.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company’s excess cash is deposited in large financial institutions or it is invested with the objective of maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment obligations and future planned capital expenditures and with the secondary objective of maximizing the overall yield of the portfolio. Short-term investments must be rated at least investment grade by the recognized rating agencies. Given these high credit ratings, the Company does not expect any counterparties to these short-term investments to fail to meet their obligations.
 
Accounts receivable
 
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is subject to the concentration of its key customers. The Company’s five largest customers represent 50.1% of consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2008. These five customers are consumer product manufacturers and have been transacting with the Company for many years without any significant occurrence of losses to the Company. The Company believes that the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the financial stability of its largest customers and the long-standing relationships the Company has with these customers.
 
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade accounts receivable by geographic region are as follows:
 
         
    Carrying Amounts
   
December 31, 2008
 
Canada
  $ 12,222  
Europe
    10,910  
 
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individual significant exposures, and an overall loss component established based on historical trends and other information. As at December 31, 2008, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $556 (2007 — $436). At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no material past due trade accounts receivable.
 
Derivatives
 
Credit risk relating to forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts and other derivative instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their respective obligations under the agreements in instances where these agreements have positive fair value for the Company. These counterparties are the Company’s ultimate parent or large international financial institutions and to date, no such counterparty has failed to meet its financial obligation to the Company.
 
(d)  Liquidity risk:
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual gross profit and cash flows from operations, and compares it to forecasted cash requirements for capital expenditures and debt obligations.

(e)  Market risk:
 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its financial instruments. The Company uses derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in cash flows resulting from foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk related to fixed price and/or foreign denominated sales and purchases, including anticipated transactions. The Company buys and sells derivatives in the ordinary course of business and all such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set out in established policies. The Company’s policy is not to enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes
 
(i) Foreign exchange risk:
 
The Company markets its products primarily in North America and Europe and substantially all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities originate in Canadian dollars, US dollars and Euros.
 
The Company is exposed to currency risk for sales and purchases that are denominated in US dollars and Euros. The Company manages this currency risk through the sale of US dollars in the spot market and by US dollar foreign currency contract sales with notional amounts at December 31, 2008 of US $48,000 (2007 — US $6,000).
 
Current asset US dollar foreign exchange exposure is mitigated through denominating short-term indebtedness in US dollars.
 
(ii) Interest rate risk:
 
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents, short-term indebtedness, shareholder loan and long-term debt.
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Interest rate risk related to cash and cash equivalents and short-term indebtedness is not significant at December 31, 2008 due to the short term, highly liquid nature of these instruments. The Company believes that interest rate risk is low on cash and cash equivalents as interest rates range from

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
0.5% to 3.0%. The Company’s variable rate debt instruments described in note 9 exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company has hedged 50% of Tranche A of the Deutsche Bank syndicate loan exposure to fluctuations in interest rates related to this instrument by entering into a pay-fixed, receive floating interest rate swap agreement designated as a hedging instrument under the cash flow hedge accounting model. The Company has also economically hedged 100% of Tranche B of the Deutsche Bank syndicate loan exposure, subsequent to September 30, 2009, to fluctuations in interest rates related to this instrument by entering into a pay-fixed, receive floating interest rate swap agreement not designated as a hedging instrument.
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates are subject to fair value interest rate risk. The Company does not account for its fixed rate debt instruments as held for trading; therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect net income with respect to these fixed rate instruments. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk.
 
(iii) Forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps:
 
At December 31, 2008, the notional and fair values of the interest rate swaps designated as hedges are $11,403 and $280 respectively. The maturity of the interest rate swaps is December 31, 2013.
 
At December 31, the notional and fair values of the derivative instruments not designated as hedges are as follows:

The significant differences in those principles, as they apply to the Company’s net earnings, comprehensive income/loss and shareholders’ equity, are described below.

    (254 )
         
Shareholders’ equity at year end based on U.S. GAAP
  $ 88,836  
         
 
(a)  Stock-based compensation:
 
Under Canadian GAAP the obligations of the Company’s stock option plan are recorded using the intrinsic value method. Under U.S. GAAP, FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 “Compensation — stock compensation”, the Company measures the stock option obligation using the fair value method as at each reporting date. At December 31, 2008 the Company determined that this resulted in an increase in the recorded liability and reduction in shareholders’ equity of $1,510. This also resulted in an increase in the related compensation expense recognized and a decrease in net earnings of $963 for the year ending December 31, 2008.
 
(b)  Hedging:
 
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The change in fair value related to these designated cash flow hedges was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company has not designated these interest rate swaps as an accounting hedge under U.S. GAAP and as a result, the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps for each period presented is recorded in earnings and no amounts relating to these interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for U.S. GAAP purposes. There is no effect on shareholders’ equity at year end since there is an offsetting effect on retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
As a result of this difference, for U.S. GAAP purposes, earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 has been decreased by $450 (net of tax of $218).

(c)  Capitalization of interest:
 
U.S. GAAP requires that the Company capitalize interest related to construction for qualifying assets where the Company has incurred interest charges as a result. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2005, the Company constructed certain plant and equipment and buildings for which interest would have been capitalized under U.S. GAAP. This difference resulted in the Company capitalizing interest costs which were charged to earnings under Canadian GAAP, with an offsetting increase in amortization charged to earnings relating to the interest capitalized.
 
As a result of this difference, for U.S. GAAP purposes, earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 has been increased by $502 (net of tax of $195). Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 has been increased by $654 (net of tax of $254).
 
20.   COMPARATIVE FIGURES:
 
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.
 
21.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
On January 4, 2010, Tricap signed an agreement to sell all outstanding shares of the Company to P. H. Glatfelter Company. The sale was completed on February 12, 2010. As part of the sale of the Company:
  i)   All amounts outstanding under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and its operating facility, the Canada Economic Development loan, Deutsche Bank syndicate and promissory note and the Government of Germany loan were repaid;
 
  ii)   All outstanding interest rate swaps and all forward foreign exchange contracts were settled for cash; and
 
  iii)   All outstanding stock options were immediately vested and settled in cash for $7,198.

1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS:
 
Concert Industries Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act and its principal business activity is the manufacture and sale of thermal, latex and multi-bonded airlaid fabrics.
 
2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
The consolidated balance sheet of the Company includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its significant operating subsidiaries, Concert GmbH, AA-Tech Systems, Advanced Airlaid Technology GmbH and Concert Airlaid Ltée. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tricap Management Limited (“Tricap”), an entity controlled by Brookfield Asset Management. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The enclosed unaudited financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial statements and do not include all information required of complete financial statements. The interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the year.
 
3.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
 
(a) Goodwill and intangible assets:
 
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Section 3064, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs, establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The provisions relating to the definition and initial recognition of intangible assets, including internally generated intangible assets, are equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) IAS 38, Intangible Assets. The initial adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
(b) Credit risk and the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities:
 
On January 20, 2009, the Emerging Issues Committee issued Abstract 173 (EIC-173), Credit Risk and the Fair value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. EIC-173 stipulates that an entity’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative financial instruments. EIC-173 applies to the Company effective January 1, 2009 and must be applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods. In accordance with EIC-173, certain financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, had to be remeasured as at January 1, 2009. Any adjustment to the fair value must be recorded as an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings as at that date, except certain adjustments related to derivative financial instruments in a hedging relationship. In certain specific cases, any resulting difference would be recorded either in other comprehensive income or as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item. The initial adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(c) Financial instrument disclosures:
 
In June 2009, the CICA amended Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures, to enhance disclosures about fair value measurements and the liquidity risk of financial instruments.
 
All financial instruments recognized at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet must be classified in three fair value hierarchy levels, which are as follows:
 
  •  Level 1 — valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
  •  Level 2 — valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means;
 
  •  Level 3 — valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

Net future income tax assets
  $ 14,582     $ 15,370  
                 
 
In making an assessment of whether future income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, management prepares information regarding the expected use of such assets by reference to its internal income forecasts. The ultimate realization of future income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which the temporary differences are deductible and the available non-capital loss carry forwards can be utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future income tax liabilities, the character of future income tax assets and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
No valuation allowance has been recorded in relation to future income tax assets related to deductible temporary differences of the European operations.
 
Based on management’s best estimates of the expected realization of future income tax assets, during 2008 the Company reduced the valuation allowance relating to its North American operations to reflect that it is more likely than not that certain future income tax assets will be realized.
 
The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have non-capital loss carry forwards in Canada for federal income tax purposes of approximately $149,000 which can be used to offset future Canadian taxable income. These losses expire as follows:
 
         
2013
  $ 7,000  
2014
    136,000  
2015
    6,000  
         
    $ 149,000  
         
 
The Company believes that it has adequately provided for income taxes based on all of the information that is currently available. The calculation of income taxes in many cases, however, requires significant judgement in interpreting tax rules and regulations. The Company’s tax filings are subject to audits, which

Shareholders’ equity at period end based on U.S. GAAP
  $ 99,512     $ 79,740  
                 
 
(a) Stock-based compensation:
 
Under Canadian GAAP the obligations of the Company’s stock option plan are recorded using the intrinsic value method. Under U.S. GAAP, FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 “Compensation — stock compensation”, the Company measures the stock option obligation using the fair value method as at each reporting date. At September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company determined that this resulted in an increase in the recorded liability and reduction in shareholders’ equity of $1,197 and $1,339, respectively. This also resulted in an increase in the related compensation expense recognized and an increase in net earnings of $313 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and a decrease in net earnings of $792 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.
 
(b) Hedging:
 
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The change in fair value related to these designated cash flow hedges was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company has not designated these interest rate swaps as an accounting hedge under U.S. GAAP and as a result, the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps for each period presented is recorded in earnings and no amounts relating to these interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for U.S. GAAP purposes. There is no effect on shareholders’ equity at each period end since there is an offsetting effect on retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
As a result of this difference, for U.S. GAAP purposes, earnings for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 has been decreased by $65 (net of tax of $24) and $246 (net of tax of $142), respectively.
 
(c) Capitalization of interest:
 
U.S. GAAP requires that the Company capitalize interest related to construction for qualifying assets where the Company has incurred interest charges as a result. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2005, and during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company constructed certain plant and equipment and buildings for which interest would have been capitalized under U.S. GAAP. This difference resulted in the Company capitalizing interest costs which were charged to earnings under Canadian GAAP, with an offsetting increase in amortization charged to earnings relating to the interest capitalized.

      32,275  
         
Total preliminary purchase price allocation
  $ 75,603  
         
 
The agreement for the Acquisition provided for a purchase price of C$246.5 million (or $229.8 million based on the September 30, 2009 foreign exchange rate), subject to an adjustment based on the working capital of Concert as the closing date.
 
We are in the process of completing valuations necessary to account for the Acquisition in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting set forth in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, including independent appraisals. In calculating the pro forma adjustments, the purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is subject to change, and such changes could be material. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price set forth in the pro forma balance sheet assumes the excess of book value will be allocated as set forth above, an assumption we believe is reasonable based on information presently available to us. Our allocation shown above estimates that intangible assets will be allocated the majority of the $2.1 million set forth under the caption “Intangible assets & goodwill.” In addition, we believe it is possible that intangible assets resulting from the Acquisition could include technology, patents, in process research and development and trademarks.
 
For purposes of presenting depreciation and amortization expense in the pro forma income statements, fixed assets and intangible assets are assumed to have an average remaining useful life of 21.5 years and 5 years, respectively. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.
 
(10) Reflects $8.8 million of bank overdrafts arising from the utilization of $125 million of cash, which exceeded cash on hand at September 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, Glatfelter’s cash and cash equivalent totaled $135.4 million.
 
(11) Reflects additional borrowings under existing revolving credit facility, as follows: $7.9 million to partially finance the Acquisition, and $2.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the notes (reflected as other noncurrent assets.)
 
(12) Reflects the principal amount of the notes net of assumed unamortized original issue discounts.
