CONCERT INDUSTRIES CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009
 
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.

(Unaudited)
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009
 
(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.
 
This information is presented in note 15(i).

All outstanding stock options are classified as liabilities and are carried at their intrinsic value as adjusted for vesting. The intrinsic value is marked-to-market each period and is amortized to expense over the period in which the related services are rendered. The stock options vest to the optionee after eight years. Upon an acquisition of the Company’s shares, the Board of Directors of the Company may decide to accelerate the vesting and exercise date of the outstanding options.
 
Stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is $1,508 (September 30, 2008 — $90).
 
13.   INCOME TAXES:
 
Income tax expense attributable to earnings from continuing operations differs from the amounts computed by applying the combined Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate of 30.9% (September 30, 2008 — 30.9%) to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interest as follows:

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.

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 increased by $1,570 (net of tax of $611) and $178 (net of tax of $69), respectively. Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 and 2008 has been increased by $2,225 (net of tax of $865) and $330 (net of tax of $128), respectively.
 
19.   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
