D. Risk Factors

The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company's operations and industry which may have a material impact on the Company's business development, or constitute risk factors in respect of the Company's financial performance.

We lack an extensive operating history on which to base an evaluation of our performance.

Our business performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history with our current range of operations. Our distributor/dealer license agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. was signed in December 2011, as was our distribution agreement with I-DES Inc. Our acquisition of Intercept Rentals was completed in March, 2012. In considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider that we starting earning revenues in 2012 and there is only limited historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our expected performance.

Liquidity risk.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.  These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.
 
The Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,182,848 at December 31, 2013, is out of covenant with its finance lease obligations, incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $3,033,981 and as of that date has a deficit of $18,398,509.  These conditions cast significant and substantial doubt on the Company’s going concern assumption.  The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and upon its ability to obtain additional financing or equity.  While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

On April 29, 2014 the Company entered into a loan agreement with an arm’s length third party lender. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the lender has agreed to make revolving credit loans to the Company in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000, of which $608,000 had been advanced as at December 31, 2013 and is included in loans and borrowings, and $328,500 was advanced subsequent to the year end.  The amount of the loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The term of the agreement is for two years and provides that at any time after July 29, 2014, the lender is entitled to demand repayment of the whole or any portion of the outstanding amount of the loan. The proceeds from the loan will be used to retire accounts payable. In consideration for the lender agreeing to provide the loan, the Company has issued 900,000 common shares  at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Bonus Shares will be subject to a hold period that expires on August 30, 2014.

On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a lease arrangement to lease a truck and heating unit for 50% of the operating income of the unit. The term of the arrangement is indefinite.  The entity which owns this truck is controlled by a person who was appointed Director of the Company subsequent to the year end.

On January 6, 2014 the company completed a vertical short-form amalgamation pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) with its wholly owned operating subsidiary 1503826 Alberta Ltd. operating as Intercept Rentals.

There are a large number of shares underlying our warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

As of April 30, 2014, we had 109,289,734  shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and share purchase warrants convertible into a further 44,038,663 shares of common stock. The future sale of shares that may be issued on the exercise of our stock purchase warrants could impact negatively on the market price of our common stock.

Future issuances of shares may adversely impact the value of our stock.

We may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or convertible debt. Future issuances of common stock or convertible debt may dilute or potentially dilute your position in us.

We are authorized to issue unlimited preferred shares which, if issued, may reduce the price of our common shares.

Although no preferred shares are currently issued and outstanding, our directors are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to issue unlimited preferred shares in series without the consent of our shareholders. Our preferred shares, if and when issued, may rank senior to common shares with respect to payment of dividends and amounts received by shareholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The issuance of preferred shares in series and the preferences given the preferred shares must be made by a Resolution of Directors, but do not need the approval of our shareholders. The existence of rights, which are senior to common shares, may reduce the price of our common shares.

Because our common shares are a penny stock, trading in the common shares involves increased risks concerning price fluctuation, additional disclosure requirements and a lack of a liquid market.

Our shares will be "penny stocks" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00.  Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities.  This lower trading volume can cause price fluctuations.  In addition, the liquidity for our securities will be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities.  Accordingly, our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult more to sell their securities.


ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
 
A. History and Development of the Company

Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on October 25, 1995. Incorporated as Poly Pacific International Inc. it traded as a Tier 1 Company on the TSX-Venture exchange.

 
7

 

Poly Pacific was also listed in the USA on the Nasdaq as an over the counter Bulletin Board Company (OTCBB) under the symbol PYLPF, and listed on December 30, 2005.

Since the inception, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Poly-Pacific Technology Ltd (“PPT”) was a manufacture of plastic blast media using recycled waste and scrap plastics. PPT manufactured the blast media which was designed and used for the rapid removal of paints and coatings from sensitive surfaces such as airplanes, automobiles, compositions and electronic equipment. Plastic blast media was a proven environmentally friendly alternative to harsh chemical stripping agents and other hard abrasive materials. In November of 2007, due to continuing losses as a result of decreasing market share and lack of demand for plastic media, the Company announced the closure of PPT and its operations in Ontario, California.

At the same time the Company had another active subsidiary, Everwood Agricultural Products International Inc. (Everwood”), which recycled the spent plastic and waste  plastic containers into plastic lumber for the agricultural industry. In December, 2006, as a result of continued losses and Everwood’s inability to obtain an adequate supply of raw materials to make posts and attain cost-efficient production, the Company decided to permanently cease its operations in St. Thomas, Ontario to focus its efforts upon a nylon reclamation project located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Based on a feasibility study completed in July 2008, that reclamation project was determined to be uneconomical and was not pursued.

In November, 2008, the Company signed a License Agreement with Energy Quest Inc. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company had the exclusive rights to commercialize and/or manufacture, market and distribute Energy Quest’s Gasification Technologies in the People’s Republic of China. The Company determined, however, that it was not in its best interests to pursue that business.

Management continued to investigate and search for opportunities in the industrial business sector and on February 25, 2010, changed its name to Global Green Matrix Corp. It also consolidated its shares on the basis of one new post consolidation share for every fifteen pre consolidation common shares. On July 13, 2010 the Company closed on a private placement for $923,900 and focused its efforts on pursuing a unique and proprietary technology called the “ReCyclone Power Master”. It entered into an agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Ltd. for license for the exclusive rights to market its technology for Canada. The Power Master was designed to process municipal solid waste and create a Refuse Derived fuel, thereby allowing cities to reduce their waste to landfills by as much as 90%.

Listing Information

It was first listed in Canada and trades as a Tier 1 company on the TSX Canadian Venture Exchange (TSX-V:IES), which is its primary exchange. The Company also trades on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB: IESCF).
 
The address of our principal executive offices is 600-666 Burrard Street Vancouver BC.   The name and address of our registered agent in Canada is:  Davis LLP, Livingston Place, 1000-250 2nd St. SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0C1.

B. Business Overview
 
Intercept Rentals

On March 20, 2012, the Company completed a share purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd., carrying on business as “Intercept Rentals”, from arm’s length third parties, subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval, now received. Under IAS, the deemed purchase price of $1,620,000 (per agreement - $1,440,000) was satisfied by the issuance of 12 million common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. As required by the purchase agreement, the common shares were held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a voluntary share escrow agreement and released, as to 1/3 of such amount, on the 4, 8 and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date. In addition, the Company has granted to the former shareholders of Intercept Rentals, or their nominee, a 10 per cent royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology for a period of 10 years, at which time it expires.
 
Intercept Rentals provides equipment to support the oil industry with products that focus on efficiency as well as safety for the workers. The latest addition to Intercept is a Frac Water Heating System which is safe to operate, safe to the well site infrastructure, and safe to the environment.  The units not only burn the fuel cleanly and completely but deliver almost all of the heat to the water being heated, which we believe makes the system the safest and most environmentally friendly heating unit available.  For our customers this means increased work efficiency, decreased service costs and a healthier environment.

Intercept Rental’s new heating technology called “BIG HEAT”, is a patent pending propane powered Frac Water Heating System that provides a safer, and more efficient heating method than the traditional methods used today by the oil & gas companies and their fracking operations.

 
8

 

The technology minimizes the possibility of on-site injuries or accidents that have occurred with the traditional methods of heating water. All BIG HEAT units have numerous safety shutoffs and little to no radiant heat emanating from the burner that is located in an encased chamber.

The Company believes that to participate in the growing $750 Billion dollar oil and gas services industry, its proprietary Frac Water Heating System along with the company’s business plan to deploy additional BIG HEAT units throughout Canada & USA is the fastest route to generating new income and growth, and adding value to the company.

The market that the Company services is in the area called the Western Sedimentary Basin, located in Western Canada. Intercept Energy operates from a location in Central Alberta and services various oil and gas companies and their drilling activity in Alberta. Total revenue from the rental of the Power Tongs and frac water heating units as at the year ending was $2.1 million.

Marketing channels include general advertising in trade and local publications, but primarily with direct sales contact with existing  and prospective clients. Data based marketing  is also used whereby the Company subscribes to industry publications and builds a data base that focuses on all companies that are in the business of oil and gas and fraccing operations.

The manufacturer of the technology used in the heating units owned by Intercept has 3 patents pending on the technology. The Company has an exclusive license to use and exploit the technology in Canada. There is no requirement to purchase additional units as the Company by purchasing its first 4 units complied with any and all conditions of the Licensing Agreement.

The Company uses propane as a fuel source for its heating units, and all propane tanks that are installed on its truck or trailer units must comply with Transport Canada's regulations. The company installing the tanks must be certified and approved by Transport Canada.

Intercept’s “Power Tongs” have an open mouth design capable of clamping pipes from 1-11/16” to 3-1/2” (outside diameters), and can join pipes of different diameters.  The Power Tongs are hauled in 16’ enclosed trailers, which house either a diesel powered air-over hydraulic power pack or a diesel-powered electric-over hydraulic power pack. Each unit has over 100’ of hydraulic hose.

Intercept currently has six Thru-Tubing Power Tong Units:

·
2 Diesel Powered, Air over Hydraulic Driven
·
2 Diesel Powered, Electric over Hydraulic Driven
·
2 Diesel over Hydraulic Driven

Power Tongs are designed to, among other things:

§
Increase work efficiency
§
Decrease service costs (eliminating potential Fishing)
§
Reduce lost man-hours due to injury
§
Comply with all OHS rules and regulations

On January 6, 2014 the Company completed a vertical short-form amalgamation pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) with its wholly owned operating subsidiary 1503826 Alberta Ltd. operating as Intercept Rentals. The assets, obligations and liabilities of Intercept Rentals were assumed by Intercept Energy Services Inc. No securities of the Company were issued in connection with the amalgamation and the share capital remains unchanged. The amalgamation was undertaken in order to simplify the corporate structure of the Company and to reduce administrative costs. The amalgamation is not viewed to have any significant effect on the operating business of the Company.
  
C. Organizational Structure

On March 20, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd., carrying on business as "Intercept Rentals", from arm's length third parties pursuant to a share purchase agreement.    Intercept Rentals provides equipment to support the oil industry with products that focus on efficiency as well as safety for the workers and a healthier environment.
 
The purchase was satisfied by the issuance of 12 million common shares of the Company.  As the fair value of the shares was $0.08015 (determined by level 3 input) the value of the purchase was recorded as $961,843. As required by the purchase agreement, the Company’s common shares were held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a voluntary share escrow agreement and were released, as to 1/3 of such amount, on the 4, 8 and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date. Additional consideration included a 10 % royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology for a period of 10 years, granted to the former shareholders of Intercept Rentals or its nominees. This royalty obligation represents a contingent liability and was measured at fair value.

The acquisition of Intercept Rentals was considered strategically important as the Company intended to expand into the oil and gas industry specifically focusing on the expanding fracking operations.  Intercept Rentals new heating technology called "BIG HEAT", is a patent pending propane powered Frac Water Heating System that provides a safer and more efficient heating methods used today by the oil & gas companies and their fracking operations.  This acquisition will allow the Company to participate in the growing fracking industry and also leverage the patent pending technology.  All of the Company’s operations are conducted through its Intercept Rentals subsidiary.
 
Due to lack of IFRS specific data prior to the acquisition of Intercept Rental, pro-forma profit or loss of the combined entity for any periods prior to acquisition cannot be determined reliably.
 
D. Property, Plants and Equipment
 
The Companies equipment includes what was including in the acquisition of 1503826 Alberta Ltd carrying on business as “ Intercept Rentals. The equipment is described as follows:

 
·
7 Little Jerk Mini Power Tong Units
 
·
2008 Chevy Silverado

The Company also acquired and owns a total of 4 frac water heating units, one a trailer mounted unit acquired in February 2013, and 3 truck mounted units. An additional truck was purchased in 2013 but the Company did not take delivery until February 2014.

2013 was a successful year for Intercept as it was able to secure over $3.8 million of new funding and invested in approximately $3.0 million in new equipment. The Company acquired all the assets of "Intercept Rentals" in March 2012.  Majority of the revenue which was over $0.4 million of the total $0.5 million revenue for 2012 related to revenue from acquisition of "Intercept Rentals". The Company did not have any revenue during 2011.
 
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 the Company had 4 units in operation and as a result, revenue for the fourth quarter was higher at $0.7 million compared to $0.3 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2012; an increase of 133 percent. Revenue for the year was $2.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the previous year, an increase of 320 percent.  The revenue for the current year was higher as the Company started the year with 2 units whereas the previous year we started with only one. Furthermore the Company had shown some revenue during July and August for the current year and none during the previous year.
 
Intercept acquired an additional 2 units in early November for a total of 4 units in operation. Intercept had also acquired new contracts and had significant work scheduled in the Fort St John area and although our revenue for the Q 4 was greater than the previous year equipment failures prevented even higher revenues.
 
Net loss before other items for the current year was $3.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the previous year.  Current year net loss before other items included $1.1 million of royalty expenses compared to only $0.01 million for the same year last year.

(1)2012 financial numbers are restated (please refer to Note 23 of the consolidated financial statements)
 
Total expenses before other items for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were higher over the same periods in 2012 and 2011 mainly due to increase in equipment rental operations during the current year.  Further royalty, consulting fees and salaries and wages expenses were substantially higher in the current periods compared to the previous periods due to an increase in overall business activities.  Royalty expenses in the current period includes changes in the present value of the Company’s royalty liability that is accrued based on projected future royalty payments. The royalty obligation is measured in the statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the financial liability using a post-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
 
Future Plans and Outlook
 
The Company has completed necessary Master Service Agreements and is ready to work for large, full service providers.  The Company is also planning to complete the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance ("TERO")  process which qualifies the Company to operate on native lands where a significant amount of work could occur.  The Company is planning to operate 2 to 4 trucks in the US by the end of 2014.
 
Demand for the Company’s services is dependent on oil and gas production in areas where it has facilities.  Uncertainty in oil, gas and natural gas liquids pricing may influence capital spending decisions relating to production and ultimately demand for the Company’s services.  Demand for the Company’s services is also affected by seasonal variations in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

Operating costs of the Company vary depending on a number of factors that have been identified under seasonal factors and risks.  In 2013 Intercept started the year with the cost of propane at a relatively low cost of 0.32 a liter, but as the year progressed, the cost of propane used to fuel the Company’s heating units, increased significantly.  This raised the operating costs of Intercept’s subsidiary company from 32% of revenue to approximately 60%, thereby reducing the profit margins considerably.
 
For most of the year 2013, the Company had only two heating units, one truck mounted unit and one trailer unit operating from central Alberta.  In early November, Intercept took delivery of two “new” truck units.  Intercept had a number of clients that were conducting drilling activity in the Fort St. John area, about 10 hours away by vehicle from the Company’s base of operation.
 
In November and December the weather in the Fort St John area and parts of Alberta turned extremely cold, and expectedly the two new heating units did not operate up to specifications.  Some jobs were compromised, and as a result revenue was reduced by an amount estimated at $l.0 to $1.5 million.  Unusual and one-time expenses were incurred in adding heating apparatus’s to the trucks and enclosing the electrical components.
 
Additional items related to costs are  the price of oil and a high level of oil and gas exploration in western Canada, and the cost of labour with the level of experience required by the Company.  Management expects the cost of drivers and workers will continue to be a significant factor relating to revenue, both in Canada and the United States.
 
The Company presently has two full time sales people who have 35 years of experience between them in the oil industry.  Much of the Company’s revenue is derived from relationship-based selling.  It is dependent upon contracts and the relationship between existing and new clients and sales staff.  Management thinks the compensation and incentives received by its sales personnel exceeds the industry average, and the current clients will stay with the Company over the long term.
 
The impact of currency fluctuation, inflation, along with governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary and political factors is not perceived to be material with respect to the Company’s operations and future investments by shareholders.  Intercept anticipates these issues will not have a material impact in the foreseeable future.
 
The cost of propane has since dropped somewhat.  Therefore entering 2014, the Company is operating a total of six units and expects revenue to substantially increase, while operating costs to lessen.
 
Any adverse changes in the global economy/markets may impact the oil prices and hence the oil field industry in the region. This may impact the ability of the Company to raise capital to support its future growth plans and working capital needs.
 
This review of the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Non-IFRS measures and operational definitions
 
Certain supplementary measures in this OFRP do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, are considered non-IFRS measures. These measures are described and presented in order to provide information  regarding the Company’s financial results, liquidity  and  its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. These measures are identified and presented, where appropriate, together with reconciliations to the equivalent IFRS measure. However, they should not be used as an alternative to IFRS measures because they may not be consistent with calculations of other companies. These non-IFRS measures, and certain operational definitions used by the Company, are further explained below.
 
EBITDA
 
EBITDA refers to net income before finance cost, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with non-recurring business acquisition costs and share based compensation.  These measures do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar captioned terms presented by other users.
 
Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are key indicators for the results generated by the Company’s core business activities as well as they eliminate non-recurring items and the impact of finance and tax structure variables that exist between entities.

Adjusted EBITDA was lower for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2013 over the same periods for 2012 and 2011 mainly due to increase in royalty expense which was $902,121 for the fourth quarter and $1,109,285 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As at December 31, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $8,845 (December 31, 2012 - $40,887) to settle current liabilities of $ 3,948,257 (December 31, 2012 - $1,396,866).  Share issues, borrowings and finance leases- financing activities totaling $3.8 million have funded the 3.0 million of capital expenditures, primarily for acquisition of rental equipment for the year and subsequent to the year end the Company closed on the following transactions
 
 
·
On April 29, 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an arm’s length third party lender.  Pursuant to the loan agreement, the lender has agreed to make revolving credit loans to the Company in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000, of which $686,500 had already been advanced to Intercept. The amount of the loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The term of the agreement is for two years and provides that at any time after July 29, 2014, the lender is entitled to demand repayment of the outstanding amount of the loan. The proceeds from the loan will be used to retire accounts payable. In consideration for the lender agreeing to provide the loan, the Company has issued 900,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Bonus Shares will be subject to a hold period that expires on August 30, 2014.

 
·
On February 28, 2014 Company entered into a lease arrangement to lease a truck and heating unit for 50% of the operating income of the unit.

In June 2013 the Company arranged a $2.0 million equipment lease credit facility with an interest rate of approximately 5%, and in 2013 drew $1,969,503 on the facility in finance leases.
 
The Company believes that the remaining balance of cash will not be sufficient to meet its current working capital requirements over the fiscal year and any shortfall that may occur will need to be funded through the issuance of common shares and loans from related parties.
 
The Company expects that any property and equipment expenditures incurred, based on future needs, will be funded from working capital and/or from operating or capital leases.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

 
1)
On December 10, 2011, the Company signed a definitive Distribution/Dealer License Agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. (“Inergy Plus”). The agreement provides the Company with the exclusive right to utilize Inergy Plus’ technologies for Canada including the right to license, sell, operate and provide warranty services. The primary technology is called the ReCyclone Advanced Gyroscopic Mill, also called the “PowerMaster.” The license to the Company includes all current and future applications for the Power Master as registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office and all present and future intellectual property rights related to Inergy’s technologies during the 10 year term of the agreement. At December 31, 2012 the Company did not expect to derive any further economic benefit from the Power Master license and decided to write off the net book value of $101,555 to nil.
 
In 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with Inergy Plus to end and transfer its exclusive license agreement. The Company then transferred the exclusive license to 0 Waste 2 Energy Canada Ltd. (“0 Waste”) and 0 Waste agreed to pay the Company the sum of $150,000 payable in instalments on the sale of the first three units of the PowerMaster in the licensed area. The $150,000 represents contingent consideration and the Company cannot reasonably determine when or if the sale of the three units will occur. The contingent consideration has not been recognized.
 
 
2)
On December 23, 2011, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with I-Des Inc. and DryVac Services Canada Inc. (“I-Des and DryVac”). The Distribution Agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to exploit the technologies developed and owned by I-Des and DryVac for a period of 2 years for all of Canada, in return for a onetime payment in the amount of $250,000. The Distribution Agreement allows for renewal of the term for an additional two (2) years provided that 60 days notice is given by the Company and that it is not in default with any terms of the agreement, one of which states that the Company will sell a minimum of four (4) DryVac units per year.
 
 
 
On January 23, 2012, the Company signed an amendment to the Distribution Agreement to obtain additional rights to sell DryVac units in the State of Utah, USA. In consideration of the additional territory, the Company paid an additional distributor fee to I-Des and DryVac in the amount of US$150,000.
 
As the timing of the expected economic benefits of the licenses could not be reasonably determined, the licenses were amortized on a straight line basis determined by their terms.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the business relationship with I-Des and DryVac and due to the lack of sale potential for these technologies in Canada, the Company decided to write off the net book of these licences of $392,253 to $nil.
 
 
3)
On March 20, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd. carrying on the business as “Intercept Rentals” from arm’s length third parties pursuant to a share purchase agreement. The purchase price included a technology asset valued at $2,714,886 related to “BIG HEAT” technology.  As at December 31, 2012 the Company tested the carrying value of the technology asset and as the carrying value of this technology asset was higher than the recoverable value, the Company decided to write off the carrying value of $2,714,886 to $nil.

D. Trend Information

2013 was a successful year for Intercept as it was able to secure over $3.8 million of new funding and invested in approximately $3.4 million in new equipment.
 
The oilfield services sector is highly competitive. Intercept must provide services that meet the needs of customers at competitive prices. The principal competitive factors are service quality, equipment availability and location, price, reliability, equipment performance, technical knowledge, experience and reputation for safety. Intercept competes with companies that are smaller and larger than it is. Competitors offer similar services in the same geographic regions that Intercept operates.

The oilfield services business is directly affected by fluctuations in the level of oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities carried on by its customers, which in turn is dictated by numerous factors, including world energy prices and government policies. Additionally, the business risks also include but are not limited to: seasonality, with typically lower second quarter and higher first, third and fourth quarter activity; availability of skilled workers; ability to retain key customers; and the environmental and safety risks inherent in the business. The demand, pricing and terms for oilfield services largely depend upon the level of industry activity for Canadian oil and natural gas exploration and development. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors that Intercept has no control over, including but not limited to: oil and natural gas prices; expectations about future oil and natural gas prices; the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas; the expected rates of declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves; available pipeline and other oil and natural gas transportation capacity; worldwide weather conditions; global political, military, regulatory and economic conditions; and the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise equity capital or debt financing.

The oil and gas services sector is highly reliant on the level of capital expenditures made by oil and gas companies who base their capital expenditures on several factors, including but not limited to oil and gas prices, production levels and access to capital. In recent years, commodity prices, and therefore, the level of drilling, production and exploration activity have been volatile. Any prolonged, substantial reduction in commodity prices will likely affect the activity levels of the oil and gas companies and the demand for Intercept’s services. A significant, prolonged decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the oilfield services sector, results of operations and financial condition of Intercept. The price of fuel, equipment and other input costs, insurance costs, interest rates, fluctuations in customers’ business cycles and international, national and regional economic conditions are factors over which Intercept has little or no control. A prolonged decline in commodity prices and field activity or significant increases in fuel prices, equipment prices, other input prices, interest rates or insurance costs, could reduce profitability and could adversely affect Intercept’s cash flow.  Intercept cannot predict the impact of future economic conditions and there is no assurance that the operations of Intercept will continue to be profitable.

Seasonal Factors

In Canada, the level of activity in the oilfield services sector is influenced by seasonal weather patterns. On a quarterly basis, activity varies greatly. The Canadian annual cycle can generally be viewed in four components:

 
·
Mid-November through mid-March – winter drilling season; this is the period when the majority of industry activity takes place as exploration and production (“ E&P ”) companies take advantage of the frozen landscape to access northern winter locations. This is typically the busiest season for completions and workovers.
 
 
·
Mid-March through mid-May – spring break-up; the locations typically thaw and become impractical for travel due to wet road conditions. Work can continue where equipment is already on location. Completion and workover activity is generally low with companies planning for the summer programs.
 
 
·
Mid-May through mid-October – summer and fall drilling season; generally focused on non-northern areas that are accessible in the summer. Completion and workover activity generally increases.

 
·
Mid-October through mid-November – pre-winter drilling season; many companies move off summer drilling locations and prepare winter drilling leases for delivery of equipment. Completion and workover activity generally increases further.

In recent years, the securities markets in Canada and the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It is likely that the market price for the Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding the financial and operational performance of Intercept.

The Company had unconverted convertible debentures of $85,000 bearing interest at 10% per annum and were due on December 15, 2004.  The debentures were convertible at the option of the debenture holder into fully paid, non-assessable common shares without par value in the capital of the Company at a conversion price in the range of $2.25 to $3.00 per common share. This amount is not expected to be repaid or converted to equity and currently the Company has the intention and the legal ability to extinguish this liability. As such, the Company recognized a gain of $161,500 in the profit and loss for the current year.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed first and second tranche of a private placement for the sale of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $445,000. The proceeds were used to pay for half of a heating unit. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 12 % per annum, payable semi-annually from the closing date and also contains an override royalty of 2 % per annum on the gross profits earned by up to 5 Big Heat units, payable semi-annually from the closing date. The debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 for the first twelve months; $1.00 for the second twelve months; and $1.50 after the first twenty-four months commencing on the closing dates of two separate closing dates being March 22, 2013 for $245,000 and April 15, 2013 for $200,000. These debentures are secured by equipment with a net book value of $445,000 and are subordinated to the finance leases.

The debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 for the first twelve months; $1.00 for the second twelve months; and $1.50 after the first twenty-four months commencing on the closing dates of two separate closing dates being March 22, 2013 for $245,000 and April 15, 2013 for $200,000.

The debentures have been classified as debt, net of unamortized issue costs and net of the value of the derivative liability (see Note 12). The value of the conversion feature after allocation of the derivative liability amount was not material and hence equity component of the convertible debenture has not been set up.  The balance liability portion net of derivative liability is measured at amortized cost and will accrete up to the principal balance at maturity using the effective interest rate method.  The accretion and the interest paid are expensed as finance expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss.  The value of the conversion feature was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the principle value of the debentures and the discounted cash flows assuming a rate of 20%.

Issue costs are amortized into income over the life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 $47,967 (2012 - $nil) in interest expense related to these debentures has been recognized under finance expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss.

As at December 31, 2013 there is $18,187 in accrued interest payable related to the above debentures (2012 - $nil).

 
c)  Finance lease obligations

Finance lease obligations relate to rental equipment used in the Company’s rental operations.  Collateral consists of the related equipment and a general security agreement covering all present and after acquired equipment including intangibles, and the proceeds of sale on the secured equipment.

During the year the Company entered into finance leases with a major Canadian bank in order to fund purchases of rental equipment including vehicles to move heating units to client sites. These leases bear interest at rates varying from 5.08% to 5.57%, and are secured by the fact that the bank retains title to the assets until the leases are paid over three years at which time title passes to the Company for one dollar per unit. As part of this arrangement the Company committed to a credit facility of $2 million under which the finance leases were drawn. Under this facility the Company was required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1. The Company has not maintained the ratio and the bank has the right under the agreement to demand immediate payment under the leases. The leases are therefore classified as current liabilities. The bank has not demanded payment and there is no correspondence between the Company and the Bank regarding this default.

The principal value of the finance lease obligations have been classified as current on the statement of financial position but if the leases were not demanded then, expected repayments are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Our company has prepared its financial statements included with this report in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and are comprised of IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). Our company adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”) with a transition date of January 1, 2010. Our financial statements were previously prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and interpretations effective as of December 31, 2013. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 provides details of significant accounting policies.

 
18

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
 
Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation and judgment relate to amortization of licenses, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, fair value measurements for financial instruments and share-based payments and other equity-based payments, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments.

Equipment
The cost less the residual value of each item of equipment is depreciated over its useful economic life. Depreciation is charged over the estimated life of the individual asset. Depreciation commences when assets are available for use. The assets’ useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each fiscal year end.

Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful life and residual values for the computation of depreciation and no assurance can be given that the actual useful lives or residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions.

Impairment
Intangible assets and equipment are tested for impairment if there is an indication of impairment. The carrying value of equipment and intangible assets is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. The assessment of fair values less costs of disposal or value in use, including those of the cash-generating units for purposes of testing intangible assets require the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements and operating performance. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of the assets could impact the impairment analysis.

Calculation of Share-based Compensation
The amount expensed for share-based compensation is based on the application of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is highly dependent on the expected volatility of the Company’s share price and the expected life of the options. The Company used an expected volatility rate for its shares based on historical stock trading data adjusted for future expectations; actual volatility may be significantly different. While the estimate of share-based compensation can have a material impact on the operating results reported by the Company, it is a non-cash charge and as such has no impact on the Company’s cash position or future cash flows.

Royalty obligation
The Company has a royalty obligation liability. To estimate the fair value of the obligation, the Company makes estimates of future cash flows and discounts those cash flows at an estimated prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument. Management updates the estimated future cash flows by estimating future operating hours, revenues, future equipment purchases and other items required under the royalty agreement at each reporting date to assess whether the value of obligation should be adjusted. The effects of any change in the obligation are recognized in profit or loss in the current period.

Convertible debentures
The determination of the fair value of the liability component of the convertible debentures requires management to make estimates regarding the interest rate that the Company would have obtained for a similar secured loan without a conversion feature. Management takes into consideration the valuation of both components, historical data regarding issuances of warrants and the proceeds received upon issuance of the convertible debentures to determine the inputs used in the valuation models and the resulting fair value for each instrument.

Derivative liability
The Company has a derivative liability embedded in its convertible debenture. To estimate the fair value of the derivative liability, the Company makes estimates of future cash flows and discounts those cash flows at an estimated discount rate. Management updates the estimated future cash flows by estimating future operating hours, revenues, operating costs, future equipment purchases and other items required under the royalty agreement at each reporting date to assess whether the value of derivative liability should be adjusted. The effects of any change in the obligation are recognized in profit or loss in the current period.


 
19

 

Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired.  If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.  The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.  Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.  In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.  If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.  For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate and its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for environmental restoration, legal claims, onerous leases and other onerous commitments are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's liability.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money if material and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method, whereby assets obtained, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquired business are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. The acquired business’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the recognition under IFRS 3, Business Combinations are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets which are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and are recognized and measured at fair value, less costs to sell.

To the extent the fair value of consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets, goodwill is recognized. To the extent the fair value of consideration paid is less than the fair value of net identifiable tangible and intangible assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Acquisition costs associated with a business combination are expensed in the period incurred.
 
When purchase consideration that is contingent on a future event is granted in an acquisition the initial cost of the acquisition includes an estimate of the fair value of the amounts to be paid in the future. Subsequent changes to the fair value  of contingent consideration are recorded in the statement of net loss.

Leases
Leases entered into by the Company in which substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are transferred to the Company are recorded as finance leases.  Upon initial recognition, the lease asset and obligation is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine. If not, the incremental borrowing rate is used. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are depreciated 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 terms. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognized as an asset. All other leases are classified as operating leases and leasing costs are on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.  Lease inducements received by the Company are deferred and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction in rental expense.

Share-based compensation
The Company issues equity settled share based awards to eligible executive officers and directors, employees and consultants under a share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital. The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.

 
20

 

Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

Convertible debentures
The Company’s convertible debentures are segregated into their debt and equity elements at the date of issue, based on the residual value method whereby the fair value of the debt component is measured first with the residual value being allocated to the conversion feature. The debt element of the instrument is classified as a liability, and recorded at the present value of the Company’s obligation to make future interest payments in cash, and settle the redemption value of the instrument in cash or in a variable number of shares. The carrying value of the debt element is accreted to the original face value of the instrument, over its deemed life, using the effective interest method. The convertible debentures are subsequently recorded at amortized cost at each reporting date, using the effective interest method. The royalty obligation associated with the debentures is carried at fair value with adjustments to the value being recorded through the profit and loss statement on balance sheet dates.

Future Accounting Changes

Certain pronouncements were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect the below standards to have a material impact on the financial statements, although additional disclosures may be required.
  
The following new Standards were issued by the IASB, and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with the exception of IFRS 9 which is effective January 1, 2015. Early application is permitted if all five Standards are adopted at the same time.

i)
Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) will replace IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The portion of IAS 27 that deals with separate financial statements will remain. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control, such that the same consolidation criteria will apply to all entities. The revised definition focuses on the need to have both “power” and “variable returns” for control to be present. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Variable returns can be positive, negative or both. IFRS 10 requires continuous assessment of control of an investee based on changes in facts and circumstances.

ii)
Joint Arrangements

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”) will replace IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 defines a joint arrangement as an arrangement where two or more parties contractually agree to share control. Joint control exists only when the decisions about activities that significantly affect the returns of an arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The focus is not on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how the rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. IFRS 11 eliminates the existing policy choice of proportionate consolidation for jointly controlled entities and now requires equity method accounting. In addition, the Standard categorizes joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures.

iii)
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”) will replace the disclosure requirements currently found in IAS 28 Investment in Associates, and is the new Standard for disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities, including information about the significant judgments and assumptions that it has made in determining whether it has control, joint control or significant influence in another entity. IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

 
21

 
 
iv)
Separate Financial Statements

The new IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”) has been updated to require an entity presenting separate financial statements to account for those investments at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The new IAS 27 excludes the guidance on the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group of entities under the control of a parent, which is within the scope of the current IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and is replaced by IFRS 10.

v)
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The new IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) has been updated and it is to be applied by all entities that are investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee. The scope of the current IAS 28 Investments in Associates does not include joint ventures.
 
vi)
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”)
 
IFRS is issued by the IASB in May 2011, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Early application is permitted. IFRS 13 was issued to remedy the inconsistencies in the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurement in various current IFRSs. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, i.e. an exit price.

vii)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)

In November 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9, which covers the classification and measurement of financial assets as part of its project to replace IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. In October 2010, the requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities were added to IFRS 9. Under this guidance, entities have the option to recognize financial liabilities at fair value through earnings. If this option is elected, entitles would be required to reverse the portion of the fair value change due to own credit risk out of earnings and recognize the change in other comprehensive income.

The Company has six directors.

Executive officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. Hayward was appointed President of the Corporation on November 4, 2006.
 
The members of the Company’s Audit Committee are appointed by the Board of Directors as soon as possible following each annual general meeting. The current audit committee members are Richard Oravec (independent), John Anderson and Marvin Jones (independent).

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
A. Share Capital

Not Required.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
 
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company was included as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2005. The Articles of Association were approved by shareholders on October 25, 1995.  Amendments were registered on April 23, 1999 and on June 12, 2003.
 
The Company is incorporated pursuant to the Companies Act, Chapter 21, Revised Statutes of Alberta 2000 (Companies Act), which provides for the powers, rights and responsibilities of all corporations registered within the jurisdiction of the Province of Alberta.
 
The primary requirements and provisions of the Company’s articles of association are included in the Companies Act and apply to the Company, subject only to changes that have been made through Directors’ Resolutions that have been filed as certificates and amendment and registration of restated articles, as included in Exhibit 1.0.  Pursuant to the Companies Act, (a) a director may not vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the director has a material interest; (b) the directors may not, in the absence of an independent quorum, vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body; (c) the directors may only exercise borrowing powers, or vary those powers, through the approval of a majority of their number attendant at a duly convoked meeting of directors, with the vote results being recorded in the minutes of the meeting; (d) there is no age limit requirement in respect of retirement or non-retirement of directors; and (e) ownership of shares is not required for director’s qualification.

Any change in the rights of holders of the stock, however proposed, must be approved by at least a two-thirds majority vote of the common shareholders.  Pursuant to the Companies Act and the regulations of the Alberta Securities Commission, the vote may be conducted through a formal polling of shareholders, or it may be taken at a duly convoked general or special meeting of shareholders.   The law requires that at least one general meeting of shareholders must be convoked each year.  The notice for a general or extraordinary meeting must be promulgated at least 45 days in advance of the meeting date through delivery to all shareholders of record as at a date, prior to the date of issuance of the notice, which must be published with the notice.
 
C. Material Contracts

We have not entered into any material contracts outside the ordinary course of business during the two years immediately preceding the publication of this report. See Item 4.B. Business Overview, for a summary of agreements entered into in connection with our three business components: PowerMaster; DryVac; and Intercept Rentals.

D. Exchange Controls
 
There are no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents and to other non-residents are, however, subject to withholding tax. See “Taxation” below.

There are no limitations imposed by the laws of Canada, the laws of Alberta or by the charter or other governing documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of the Company, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”) and the potential requirement for a Competition Act Review.

The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act and the Competition Act Review for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares. This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor is it, a substitute for independent advice from an investor’s own advisor. This summary does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.

The Canadian Investment Act

The Canadian Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a “Canadian” as defined in the Investment Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act (the “Minister”) is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of a net benefit to Canada. Under the Investment Act, a United States citizen qualifies as a “World Trade Organization Investor.” Subject to the restrictions noted below, an investment in a Canadian business by a World Trade Organization Investor would be reviewable under the Investment Act only if it is an investment to acquire control of such Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is not less than a specified amount, which for 1999 was $184 million. An investment in the shares of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian other than a “World Trade Organization Investor” when the Company is not controlled by a World Trade Organization Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it is an investment to acquire control of the Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is $5 million or more, or if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment relates to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity.
 
 
 
28

 
 
The acquisition by a World Trade Organization Investor of control of a Canadian business in any of the following sectors is also subject to review if the value of the assets of the Canadian business exceeds $5 million (as shown on its financial statements): uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural businesses, which include broadcast media (publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, music, film and video products and the exhibition of film and video products), television and radio services. As the Company’s business does not fall under any of the aforementioned categories, the acquisition of control of the Company, in excess of the $5 million threshold, by a World Trade Organization Investor would not be subject to such review.
  
A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares.

The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common shares. Notwithstanding the review provisions, any transaction involving the acquisition of control of a Canadian business or the establishment of a new business in Canada by a non-Canadian is a notifiable transaction and must be reported to Industry Canada by the non-Canadian making the investment either before or within thirty days after the investment.

Certain transactions relating to common shares are exempt from the Investment Act, including:

 
·
an acquisition of common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities;
 
·
an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act; and
 
·
an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of common shares, remained unchanged.

Canadian Competition Act Review

Investments giving rise to the acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons of control over, or a significant interest in the whole or part of a business of a competitor, supplier, customer or other person are subject to substantive review by Canada’s Competition Law Authority, the Director of Investigation and Research (the “Director”). If or when the Director concludes that a merger, whether by purchase or lease of shares or assets, by amalgamation or by combination, or otherwise, prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen competition substantially, he may apply as may be necessary to eliminate the substantial lessening or prevention of competition. Such substantive merger review power applies to all mergers, whether or not they meet limits for pre-notification under the Competition Act.

In addition to substantive merger review, the Competition Act provides for a pre-notification regime respecting mergers of a certain size. The regime applies in respect of share acquisitions, asset acquisitions, amalgamations and combinations. For ease of reference, this filing refers specifically to share acquisition, although the pre-notification regime applies, with the appropriate modification, to other types of acquisition of control as well.

In order for a share acquisition transaction to be pre-notifiable, the parties to the transaction (being the person or persons who proposed to acquire shares, and the corporation the shares of which are to be acquired), together with their affiliates (being all firms with a 50% or more voting shares linkage up and down the chain) must have:

 
(i)
aggregate gross assets in Canada that exceed $400,000,000 in value, as shown on their audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year (which must be within the last fifteen (15) months); or
     
 
(ii)
aggregate gross revenue from sales in, from or into Canada that exceed $400,000,000 for the most recently completed fiscal year shown on the said financial statements; and
     
 
(iii)
the party being acquired or corporations controlled by that party must have gross assets in Canada, or gross revenues from sales in or from Canada, exceeding $35,000,000 as shown on the said financial statements. Acquisition of shares carrying up to 20% of the votes of a publicly-traded corporation, or 35% of the votes in a private corporation, will not be subject to pre-notification, regardless of the above thresholds. However, exceeding the 20% or the 35% threshold, and again exceeding the 50% threshold, gives rise to an obligation of notification if the size threshold is met.

If a transaction is pre-notifiable, a filing must be made with the Director containing the prescribed information with respect to the parties, and a waiting period (either seven or twenty-one days, depending on whether a long or short form filing is chosen) must expire prior to closing.


 
29

 

As an alternative to pre-notification, the Director may grant an Advance Ruling Certificate, which exempts the transaction from pre-notification. Advance Ruling Certificates are granted where the Director concludes, based on the information provided to him, that he would not have sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal to challenge the Merger.
 
E. Taxation

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or holder of the Company’s shares and no representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any such prospective purchaser is made. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Company’s shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of the Company’s shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”) and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the “Convention”) and at all relevant times is resident in the United States and not resident in Canada, deals at arm’s length with the Company, holds the Company’s shares as capital property, and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Company’s shares in or in the course of carrying on business in Canada (a “United States Holder”).

This following summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the Company’s understanding of the published administrative practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (formerly Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation). This summary does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in the governing law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or non-Canadian jurisdiction (including the United States), which legislation or considerations may differ significantly from those described herein.

Disposition of the Company’s Shares

In general, a United States shareholder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of the Company’s shares, unless such shares are “taxable Canadian property” within the meaning of the Canadian Income Tax Act and no relief is afforded under any applicable tax treaty. The shares of the Company would be taxable Canadian property of a non-resident if at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding a disposition by the non-resident of such shares, not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of all classes of shares of the Company belonged to the non-resident, to persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm’s length, or to the non-resident and persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Canadian Income Tax Act. For this purpose, issued shares include options to acquire such shares (including conversion rights) held by such persons. Under the Convention, a capital gain realized by a resident of the United States will not be subject to Canadian tax unless the value of the shares of the Company is derived principally from real estate (as defined in the Convention) situated in Canada.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Not applicable.

 
ITEM 15. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P), as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2013.  Under SEC rules DC&P are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Based on our evaluation, we concluded as of December 31, 2013 that our DC&P were not effective.
 
We continue to work towards the implementation of improved DC&P to ensure that material information is disclosed accurately and within required timelines.
 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting.
 
ICFR is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. ICFR also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, ICFR cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
Management has used the Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission - 1992 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as a “deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis”.
 
 
 
31

 
 
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the material weaknesses described below existed within the financial close and reporting process, and within the overall control environment of the Company, and as a result ICFR was not effective as at December 31, 2013.
 
Financial Close and Reporting
Due to limited staff resources it is difficult to ensure the effectiveness of control processes through proper segregation of duties.  As a result the Company must place greater reliance on review processes conducted by management to identify material misstatement.  Review processes in place throughout the year were not adequately designed to identify misstatements within material accounting transactions and related financial statement accounts.
 
Control Environment
One key aspect of a strong control environment is an ongoing commitment by management to ensure that staff resources have the requisite skill sets and capacity to complete their assigned duties in an effective and timely manner.  Such competencies support the effective design of controls within the overall internal control framework.  The overall design of ICFR was impacted as a result of a lack of financial reporting skill sets deployed by the Company.  As a result, the strength of process level internal controls in place during the year were not adequate to identify material misstatements.
 
Management is working to deploy additional staff resources with appropriate financial reporting skill sets to address these weaknesses
 
Management’s report on ICFR was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s annual report on Form 20-F.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 16B. Code of Ethics
 
This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and sets forth the basic principles to guide all Employees. We intend that the Company’s business practices will be compatible with the economic and social priorities of each location in which we operate. Although customs vary by country and standards of ethics may vary in different business environments, honesty and integrity must always characterize our business activity. If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you must comply with the Code. If you have any questions about how to handle these situations, you should consult with your supervisor to resolve any conflicts.
 
Please read this Code carefully. Your cooperation is necessary to the continued success of our business and the cultivation and maintenance of our reputation as a good corporate citizen
 
General

Although the various matters dealt with in this policy do not cover the full spectrum of Employee activities, they are indicative of the Company’s commitment to the maintenance of high standards of conduct and are to be considered descriptive of the type of behaviour expected from Employees in all circumstances.  Breaches of this policy are grounds for summary dismissal for just cause without notice or payment in lieu of notice.

To ensure a proper understanding of the Policy, any questions as to its application to the area of responsibility and jurisdiction of the Employee will be explained fully by his or her superior.

Compliance With Laws, Rules And Regulations

All Employees must respect and obey the laws of the cities, provinces, states and countries in which we operate and the rules and regulations of any stock exchanges upon which the Company’s securities are traded, and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Not all Employees are expected to know the details of these laws, but it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel. The Company may hold information and training sessions to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading laws.
 
Conflicts Of Interest
Employees must avoid all situations in which their personal interests conflict or might conflict with their duties to the Company or with the economic interests of the Company.
 
A conflict of interest arises when an individual’s personal economic activity conflicts with the best interests of the Company or when it adversely influences the proper discharge of his obligations, duties, and responsibilities to the Company and its shareholders.
 
Employees are required to disclose to the Board of Directors in writing, or as may be otherwise authorized, all business, commercial or financial interests or activities which might reasonably be regarded as creating an actual or potential conflict with their duties of employment.
 
Every Employee or consultant of the Company who is charged with executive, managerial or supervisory responsibility is required to see that actions taken and decisions made within his or her jurisdiction are free from the influence of any interests that might reasonably be regarded as conflicting with those of the Company.
 
No Employee shall accept any appointment to membership on the board of directors, standing committee, or similar body of any outside company, organization or governmental agency (other than industry, professional, social, charitable, educational, religious, or legal political organizations) without prior approval of the President whether or not a possible conflict of interest might result from the acceptance of any such appointment; provided, however, that all Employees shall at all times have and enjoy all rights accorded to them by the Canadian Bill of Rights and any similar governmental legislation existing in the area in which the Employees respectively reside.
 
Political Activities

The direct or indirect use of Company funds, goods or services as contributions to political parties, campaigns or candidates for election to any level of government requires the approval of the Board of Directors or a committee authorized by the Board.

Contributions include money or anything having value, such as loans, services, excessive entertainment, trips and the use of Company facilities or assets.  Further, no Employee is to be reimbursed for any contributions which he or she might make.

Corrupt Practices
All dealings between Employees of the Company and public officials are to be conducted in a manner that will not compromise the integrity or impugn the reputation of any public official or the Company or its affiliates.
 
 
 
33

 
 
The Company will make no illegal payments of any kind, directly or indirectly, from corporate funds or assets. Even the appearance of impropriety in dealing with public officials is improper and unacceptable. Any participation, whether directly or indirectly, in any bribes, kickbacks, indirect contributions or similar payments is expressly forbidden, whether or not they might further the business interests of the Company.
 
Gifts And Gratuities
Employees shall not use their employment status to obtain personal gain from those doing or seeking to do business with the Company.
 
Employees will not accept gratuities or favours of any sort having more than a nominal and limited value and in accordance with the test set forth below.  Employees should neither seek nor accept gifts, payments, services, fees, trips or accommodations, special valuable privileges, or loans from any person (except from persons in the business of lending and then on conventional terms) or from any organization or group that does, or is seeking to do, business with the Company or any of its affiliates, or from a competitor of the Company or any of its affiliates.
 
It is the Company’s policy to deal fairly and lawfully with all customers, suppliers and independent contractors purchasing or furnishing goods or services. In awarding contracts, the Company will consider factors such as the need for the services, total cost, quality and reliability and perform a cost benefit analysis.
 
Employees shall not furnish, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Company, expensive gifts or provide excessive entertainment or benefits to other persons.
 
Public Disclosure
Reports and documents that the Company files with any Canadian securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority, or releases to the public shall contain full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable information.  The appointed Company Disclosure Officer, as identified in the Company Disclosure Policy, is the only individual authorized to communicate with analysts, the news media and investors about information concerning our Company.
 
Employees shall refer individuals asking questions concerning the company to the Disclosure Officer.
 
Confidentiality
In carrying out the Company’s business, Employees may learn confidential or proprietary information about the Company, its properties, business plans and strategies, prospective properties or third parties. Employees and members of the Board are expected to maintain the confidentiality of all information so entrusted to them, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated.
 
Confidential or proprietary information includes, among other things, any non-public information concerning the Company, including its businesses, financial performance, results or prospects, reports, papers, devices, processes, plans, maps, methods, apparatus or trade secrets and any non-public information provided by a third party with the expectation that the information will be kept confidential and used solely for the business purpose for which it was conveyed.
 
Insider Trading
To use non-public or Confidential information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is unethical and illegal.
 
Employees shall not use for their own financial gain or disclose for the use of others, inside information, obtained as a result of their employment with the Company.
 
Protection And Proper Use Of Company Assets

General Assets
Company assets, such as funds, products, vehicles or computers, may only be used for legitimate business purposes or other purposes approved by management. Company assets may never be used for illegal purposes.  Those responsible for the accounting and record-keeping functions are expected to be vigilant in ensuring enforcement of this prohibition.

Examples of proprietary information include intellectual property, such as business, exploration and marketing plans, exploration results, geological databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data or reports . Unauthorized use or distribution of this information is a violation of Company policy. It may also be illegal and may result in civil and criminal penalties. The obligation to preserve proprietary information continues even after you leave the Company.
 
Information systems
We conduct our business through computer and information systems such as voice mail, e-mail, the Internet and fax. All Consultants and employees must make every effort to protect these systems and the data associated with them. Including maintaining confidentiality by using passwords and communications methods that are properly secured.

Statement of Management’s Responsibility

To the Shareholders of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (the “Company”):

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting policies and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control systems. The Audit Committee is composed of independent directors who are not employees of the Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the financial statements and recommending them to the Board of Directors for approval. To discharge its duties the Audit Committee meets regularly with management and the external auditor to discuss internal controls, accounting and financial reporting processes, audit plans and financial matters. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for its consideration in approving the financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. The Audit Committee also considers the independence of the external auditors and reviews their fees.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Accountants, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

To the shareholders of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.):
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information .
 
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor’s responsibility
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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.) as at December 31, 2013 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
 
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,182,848, incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $3,033,981 and as at that date has a deficit of $18,398,509. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of
Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.):

We have audited the consolidated statement of financial position of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.) as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.)as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows and for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 of these consolidated financial statements, which states that the Company incurred a significant loss from operation, negative cash flows from operating activities and has an accumulated deficit. This, along with other matters as described in Note 1, indicated the existence of a material uncertainty which cast substantial doubt about the ability of Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly Global Green Matrix Corp.) to continue as a going concern.


 
45

 

Other Matter

As discussed in Note 23, the Company has corrected errors in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 in relation to the recording of the acquisition of Intercept Rentals, the accounting for the acquisition of certain property and equipment and the accounting for accumulated other comprehensive income.

Intercept Energy Services Inc. (formerly known as Global Green Matrix)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
 
1.
Nature of operations and going concern

Intercept Energy Services Inc. (“Intercept Energy” or the “Company” or the “Corporation”) is an oil and gas service company whose primary business is providing an innovative and proprietary technology that heats water used in the fracturing process by exploration and production companies operating in Canada and the United States. These services are designed to enhance safety, increase efficiency and results in lower costs. The address of the Company’s registered office is 600-666 Burrard Street, Vancouver BC V6C 3P6.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.

The Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,182,848 at December 31, 2013, is out of covenant with its finance lease obligations, incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $3,033,981 and as of that date has a deficit of $18,398,509. These conditions cast significant and substantial doubt on the Company’s going concern assumption. The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and upon its ability to obtain additional financing or equity. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on May 14, 2014 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Basis of presentation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

The consolidated financial statements include, on a consolidated basis, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1503826 Alberta Ltd., from the date of acquisition on March 20, 2012 (note 4).

All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
 
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
 
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include:

Judgments
 
Going concern
As disclosed in Note 1, these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the existence of conditions that cast doubt upon the going concern assumption.

It is management’s assessment that the going concern assumption is appropriate based on the following events discussed in (Note 25):

 
·
On April 29, 2014 the Company entered into a loan agreement with an arm’s length third party lender. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the lender has agreed to make revolving credit loans to the Company in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000, of which $608,000 had been advanced as at December 31, 2013 and is included in loans and borrowings, and $328,500 was advanced subsequent to the year end. The amount of the loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The term of the agreement is for two years and provides that at any time after July 29, 2014, the lender is entitled to demand repayment of the whole or any portion of the outstanding amount of the loan. The proceeds from the loan will be used to retire accounts payable. In consideration for the lender agreeing to provide the loan, the Company has issued 900,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Bonus Shares will be subject to a hold period that expires on August 30, 2014.

 
·
On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a lease arrangement to lease a truck and heating unit for 50% of the operating income of the unit. The term of the arrangement is indefinite. The entity which owns this truck is controlled by a person who was appointed Director of the Company subsequent to the year end.

Collectability of Accounts Receivable
 
In considering the collectability of accounts receivable, taken into account is the legal obligation for payment by the customer, as well as the financial capacity of the customer to fund its obligation to the Corporation.

Leases
 
Management uses judgment in determining whether a lease is a finance lease arrangement that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership

Contingencies
Management uses judgment to assess the existence of contingencies. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management also uses judgment to assess the likelihood of the occurrence of one or more future events.

Estimates

Equipment
 
The cost less the residual value of each item of equipment is depreciated over its useful economic life. Depreciation is charged over the estimated life of the individual asset. Depreciation commences when assets are available for use. The assets’ useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each fiscal year end.

 
Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful life and residual values for the computation of depreciation and no assurance can be given that the actual useful lives or residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions.

Impairment
 
Intangible assets and equipment are tested for impairment if there is an indication of impairment. The carrying value of equipment and intangible assets is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. The assessment of fair values less costs of disposal or value in use, including those of the cash-generating units for purposes of testing intangible assets require the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements and operating performance. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of the assets could impact the impairment analysis.

Calculation of Share-based Compensation
 
The amount expensed for share-based compensation is based on the application of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is highly dependent on the expected volatility of the Company’s share price and the expected life of the options. The Company used an expected volatility rate for its shares based on historical stock trading data adjusted for future expectations; actual volatility may be significantly different. While the estimate of share-based compensation can have a material impact on the operating results reported by the Company, it is a non-cash charge and as such has no impact on the Company’s cash position or future cash flows.

Royalty obligation
 
The Company has a royalty obligation liability. To estimate the fair value of the obligation, the Company makes estimates of future cash flows and discounts those cash flows at an estimated prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument. Management updates the estimated future cash flows by estimating future operating hours, revenues, future equipment purchases and other items required under the royalty agreement at each reporting date to assess whether the value of obligation should be adjusted. The effects of any change in the obligation are recognized in profit or loss in the current period.

Convertible debentures
 
The determination of the fair value of the liability component of the convertible debentures requires management to make estimates regarding the interest rate that the Company would have obtained for a similar secured loan without a conversion feature. Management takes into consideration the valuation of both components, historical data regarding issuances of warrants and the proceeds received upon issuance of the convertible debentures to determine the inputs used in the valuation models and the resulting fair value for each instrument.

Derivative liability
 
The Company has a derivative liability embedded in its convertible debenture. To estimate the fair value of the derivative liability, the Company makes estimates of future cash flows and discounts those cash flows at an estimated discount rate. Management updates the estimated future cash flows by estimating future operating hours, revenues, operating costs, future equipment purchases and other items required under the royalty agreement at each reporting date to assess whether the value of derivative liability should be adjusted. The effects of any change in the obligation are recognized in profit or loss in the current period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Foreign currency translation

 
The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted by considering the primary economic environment that the entities operate in.

 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates prevailing at the financial position reporting date. Exchange gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are reflected in profit or loss for the period.

 
Intangible assets

 
Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Intangible assets assessed by the Company with finite useful lives are amortized on a systematic basis over their useful lives. The amortization period and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the pattern in which the assets’ future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. Where the pattern cannot be reliably determined, the straight-line method is used. The amortization period and method is reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Equipment

 
Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

 
The cost of an item consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

 
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of equipment, less the estimated residual value over the useful life, using the straight line method over seven years for rental equipment and five years for vehicles. These useful life estimates were revised in the third quarter of 2013 prospectively from previously using the declining balance method at various rates ranging from 20% - 30% per annum This change in estimate decreased depreciation expense by approximately $49,000 in 2013.

An item is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
 
 
Where an item of equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.

 
Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate and its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for environmental restoration, legal claims, onerous leases and other onerous commitments are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's liability.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money if material and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method, whereby assets obtained, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquired business are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. The acquired business’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the recognition under IFRS 3, Business Combinations are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets which are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with IFRS 5 , Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , and are recognized and measured at fair value, less costs to sell.

To the extent the fair value of consideration paid exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets, goodwill is recognized. To the extent the fair value of consideration paid is less than the fair value of net identifiable tangible and intangible assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Acquisition costs associated with a business combination are expensed in the period incurred.

When purchase consideration that is contingent on a future event is granted in an acquisition the initial cost of the acquisition includes an estimate of the fair value of the amounts to be paid in the future. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the statement of net loss.

Leases

Leases entered into by the Company in which substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are transferred to the Company are recorded as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the lease asset and obligation is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine. If not, the incremental borrowing rate is used. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are depreciated 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 terms. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognized as an asset. All other leases are classified as operating leases and leasing costs are on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease inducements received by the Company are deferred and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction in rental expense.
 
Share capital

The Company’s common shares and share warrants are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are charged directly to share capital.

Share-based compensation

The Company issues equity settled share based awards to eligible executive officers and directors, employees and consultants under a share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognized as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the fair value of the options is reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital. The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of stock options that are expected to vest.

Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

Convertible debentures

The Company’s convertible debentures are segregated into their debt and equity elements at the date of issue, based on the residual value method whereby the fair value of the debt component is measured first with the residual value being allocated to the conversion feature. The debt element of the instrument is classified as a liability, and recorded at the present value of the Company’s obligation to make future interest payments in cash, and settle the redemption value of the instrument in cash or in a variable number of shares. The carrying value of the debt element is accreted to the original face value of the instrument, over its deemed life, using the effective interest method. The convertible debentures are subsequently recorded at amortized cost at each reporting date, using the effective interest method. The royalty obligation associated with the debentures is carried at fair value with adjustments to the value being recorded through the profit and loss statement on balance sheet dates.

Financial instruments

a) Financial assets

All financial assets are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception into one of the following four categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale.

Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through profit and loss.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company’s cash, trade and other receivables and loans receivable are classified as loans and receivables.

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. The Company does not hold any held to maturity investments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company does not hold any available-for-sale financial assets.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.

b) Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception as FVTPL or other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The Company’s trade and other payables, loans and notes payable and convertible debentures are classified as other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in profit and loss. The Company’s royalty obligation and derivative liability have been classified as FVTPL.

Revenue recognition

The Company is an oil and gas service company whose primary business is providing an innovative and proprietary technology that heats water used in the fracturing process by exploration and production companies operating in Canada and the United States. These services are designed to enhance safety, increase efficiency and results in lower costs. Revenue is earned from the rental of equipment and related technology. Revenue is earned as the equipment and technology are used by the Company's customers. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes or duty, and billed following the month in which it is earned.

Loss per share

The Company presents basic loss per share for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s convertible securities and convertible debentures were converted to common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of all dilutive potential common shares. When the Company is in a net loss position the conversion of convertible debentures is considered to be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) and represents the change in shareholders’ equity which results from transactions and events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders. For the years presented, comprehensive loss was the same as net loss.

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the tax expense is also recognized directly in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the local taxable income or loss for the year, using local tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and includes any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income taxes are recorded using the liability method whereby 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 is not recognized for temporary differences which arise on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.

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.

New standards, amendments and interpretations

The following new Standards were issued by the IASB, and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company retrospectively adopted these standards effective January 1, 2013 with no significant impact to its consolidated financial statements.

New standards adopted

 
i)
Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) replaces IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and SIC 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The portion of IAS 27 that deals with separate financial statements will remain. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control, such that the same consolidation criteria will apply to all entities. The revised definition focuses on the need to have both “power” and “variable returns” for control to be present. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Variable returns can be positive, negative or both. IFRS 10 requires continuous assessment of control of an investee based on changes in facts and circumstances.

 
ii)
Joint Arrangements

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”) will replace IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 defines a joint arrangement as an arrangement where two or more parties contractually agree to share control. Joint control exists only when the decisions about activities that significantly affect the returns of an arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The focus is not on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how the rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. IFRS 11 eliminates the existing policy choice of proportionate consolidation for jointly controlled entities and now requires equity method accounting. In addition, the Standard categorizes joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures.

New standards, amendments and interpretations (cont’d)

 
iii)
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”) will replace the disclosure requirements currently found in IAS 28 Investment in Associates, and is the new Standard for disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities, including information about the significant judgments and assumptions that it has made in determining whether it has control, joint control or significant influence in another entity. IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

 
iv)
Separate Financial Statements

The new IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”) has been updated to require an entity presenting separate financial statements to account for those investments at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The new IAS 27 excludes the guidance on the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group of entities under the control of a parent, which is within the scope of the current IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and is replaced by IFRS 10.

 
v)
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The new IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) has been updated and it is to be applied by all entities that are investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee. The scope of the current IAS 28 Investments in Associates does not include joint ventures.

 
vi)
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”)

IFRS 13 was issued by the IASB in May 2011, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.. IFRS 13 was issued to remedy the inconsistencies in the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurement in various current IFRSs. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, i.e. an exit price.

New standard not yet adopted

The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective

As of January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt amendments to IAS 36, "Impairment of Assets" . The amendments reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of CGUs is required to be disclosed and clarifies the disclosures required when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed in the period.

As of January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") 21 "Levies". IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified in the relevant legislation, occurs.

IFRS 9 will replace the guidance of IAS 39, "Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement.", This standard estimates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available-for-sale and loans receivable. Financial assets will be classified into one of two categories: amortized cost or fair value. The extent of the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 has not yet been determined.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of these amendments and interpretations and the effect on Company's financial statements has not yet been determined.

Acquisition of Intercept Rentals

On March 20, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1503826 Alberta Ltd., carrying on business as "Intercept Rentals", from arm's length third parties pursuant to a share purchase agreement. Intercept Rentals provides equipment to support the oil industry with products that focus on efficiency as well as safety for the workers and a healthier environment.

The purchase was satisfied by the issuance of 12 million common shares of the Company. As the fair value of the shares was $0.08015 (determined by level 3 input) the value of the purchase was recorded as $961,843. As required by the purchase agreement, the Company’s common shares were held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a voluntary share escrow agreement and were released, as to 1/3 of such amount, on the 4, 8 and 12 month anniversaries of the closing date. Additional consideration included a 10 % royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology for a period of 10 years, granted to the former shareholders of Intercept Rentals or its nominees. This royalty obligation represents a contingent liability and was measured at fair value.

The acquisition of Intercept Rentals was considered strategically important as the Company intended to expand into the oil and gas industry specifically focusing on the expanding fracking operations. Intercept Rentals new heating technology called "BIG HEAT", is a patent pending propane powered Frac Water Heating System that provides a safer and more efficient heating methods used today by the oil & gas companies and their fracking operations. This acquisition will allow the Company to participate in the growing fracking industry and also leverage the patent pending technology.

Due to lack of IFRS specific data prior to the acquisition of Intercept Rental, pro-forma profit or loss of the combined entity for any periods prior to acquisition cannot be determined reliably.

Licenses and technology asset (Restated (Note 23)) (cont’d)

 
1)
On December 10, 2011, the Company signed a definitive Distribution/Dealer License Agreement with Inergy Plus Technologies Inc. (“Inergy Plus”). The agreement provides the Company with the exclusive right to utilize Inergy Plus’ technologies for Canada including the right to license, sell, operate and provide warranty services. The primary technology is called the ReCyclone Advanced Gyroscopic Mill, also called the “PowerMaster.” The license to the Company includes all current and future applications for the Power Master as registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office and all present and future intellectual property rights related to Inergy’s technologies during the 10 year term of the agreement. At December 31, 2012 the Company did not expect to derive any further economic benefit from the Power Master license and decided to write off the net book value of $101,555 to nil.

In 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with Inergy Plus to end and transfer its exclusive license agreement. The Company then transferred the exclusive license to 0 Waste 2 Energy Canada Ltd. (“0 Waste”) and 0 Waste agreed to pay the Company the sum of $150,000 payable in instalments on the sale of the first three units of the PowerMaster in the licensed area. The $150,000 represents contingent consideration and the Company cannot reasonably determine when or if the sale of the three units will occur. The contingent consideration has not been recognized.

 
2)
On December 23, 2011, the Company signed a Distribution Agreement with I-Des Inc. and DryVac Services Canada Inc. (“I-Des and DryVac”). The Distribution Agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to exploit the technologies developed and owned by I-Des and DryVac for a period of 2 years for all of Canada, in return for a onetime payment in the amount of $250,000. The Distribution Agreement allows for renewal of the term for an additional two (2) years provided that 60 days notice is given by the Company and that it is not in default with any terms of the agreement, one of which states that the Company will sell a minimum of four (4) DryVac units per year.

On January 23, 2012, the Company signed an amendment to the Distribution Agreement to obtain additional rights to sell DryVac units in the State of Utah, USA. In consideration of the additional territory, the Company paid an additional distributor fee to I-Des and DryVac in the amount of US$150,000.

As the timing of the expected economic benefits of the licenses could not be reasonably determined, the licenses were amortized on a straight line basis determined by their terms.

As at December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the business relationship with I-Des and DryVac and due to the lack of sale potential for these technologies in Canada, the Company decided to write off the net book of these licences of $392,253 to $nil.

Loans and borrowings (cont’d)

The Company had unconverted convertible debentures of $85,000 bearing interest at 10% per annum and were due on December 15, 2004. The debentures were convertible at the option of the debenture holder into fully paid, non-assessable common shares without par value in the capital of the Company at a conversion price in the range of $2.25 to $3.00 per common share. This amount is not expected to be repaid or converted to equity and currently the Company has the intention and the legal ability to extinguish this liability. As such, the Company recognized a gain of $161,500 in the profit and loss for the current year.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed first and second tranche of a private placement for the sale of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $445,000. The proceeds were used to pay for half of a heating unit. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 12 % per annum, payable semi-annually from the closing date and also contains an override royalty of 2 % per annum on the gross profits earned by up to 5 Big Heat units, payable semi-annually from the closing date. The debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 for the first twelve months; $1.00 for the second twelve months; and $1.50 after the first twenty-four months commencing on the closing dates of two separate closing dates being March 22, 2013 for $245,000 and April 15, 2013 for $200,000. These debentures are secured by equipment with a net book value of $445,000 and are subordinated to the finance leases (Note 10).

The debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 for the first twelve months; $1.00 for the second twelve months; and $1.50 after the first twenty-four months commencing on the closing dates of two separate closing dates being March 22, 2013 for $245,000 and April 15, 2013 for $200,000.

The debentures have been classified as debt, net of unamortized issue costs and net of the value of the derivative liability (see Note 12). The value of the conversion feature after allocation of the derivative liability amount was not material and hence equity component of the convertible debenture has not been set up. The balance liability portion net of derivative liability is measured at amortized cost and will accrete up to the principal balance at maturity using the effective interest rate method. The accretion and the interest paid are expensed as finance expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. The value of the conversion feature was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the principle value of the debentures and the discounted cash flows assuming a rate of 20%.

Issue costs are amortized into income over the life of the debentures using the effective interest rate method.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 $47,967 (2012 - $nil) in interest expense related to these debentures has been recognized under finance expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss.

As at December 31, 2013 there is $18,187 in accrued interest payable related to the above debentures (2012 - $nil).
 
10.
Finance lease obligations

Finance lease obligations relate to rental equipment used in the Company’s rental operations. Collateral consists of the related equipment and a general security agreement covering all present and after acquired equipment including intangibles, and the proceeds of sale on the secured equipment.

During the year the Company entered into finance leases with a major Canadian bank in order to fund purchases of rental equipment including vehicles to move heating units to client sites. These leases bear interest at rates varying from 5.08% to 5.57%, and are secured by the fact that the bank retains title to the assets until the leases are paid over three years at which time title passes to the Company for one dollar per unit. As part of this arrangement the Company committed to a credit facility of $2 million under which the finance leases were drawn. Under this facility the Company was required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1. The Company has not maintained the ratio and the bank has the right under the agreement to demand immediate payment under the leases. The leases are therefore classified as current liabilities. The bank has not demanded payment and there is no correspondence between the Company and the Bank regarding this default.

Royalty obligation (Restated (Note 23))

On March 20, 2012 the Company entered into a royalty agreement on acquisition of Intercept Rentals (Note 4). As per this agreement 10% royalty on the gross revenues from the operation of the frac water heating technology is payable for period of ten years, at which time it expires. The royalty obligation is measured in the statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the financial liability using a post-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The change in fair value arising from a reassessment of the estimated liability is recognized in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss as royalty expense.

Derivative liability

The Company issued convertible debentures in 2013 for total proceeds of $445,000 in two tranches; March 22, 2013 - $225,000 and April 15, 2013 - $200,000 (Note 9). As part of this convertible debenture issue the Company agreed to pay an override royalty of 2 % per annum on the gross profits earned by up to 5 Big Heat units, payable semi-annually from the closing date. This liability is treated as a derivative liability on the statement of financial position. The derivate liability is measured in the statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the financial liability using a post-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The change in fair value arising from a reassessment of the estimated liability is recognized in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss as gain (loss) on derivative liability.

Management of capital

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to continue the business of the Company. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or issue debt.
 
At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial risk management

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivables, loans receivable, trade and other payables, and loans and notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity.

The fair value of finance lease obligations are estimated to approximate their carrying values because the interest rates do not significantly differ from market interest rates (level 2).

The royalty obligation and the derivative liability are carried at fair value (level 3).

The fair value of the convertible debentures are estimated to approximate the current value.

Financial risks

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
 
·
Credit risk
 
·
Liquidity risk
 
·
Market risk
 
Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, trade and other receivables and loans receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash consists of chequing account at reputable financial institution, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Federal deposit insurance covers balances up to $100,000 in Canada. Trade and other receivables mainly consist of trade receivables, and amounts due from government agencies. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss for cash by placing its cash with high quality financial institution and for trade and other receivables by standard credit checks. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal. There are no past due or impaired accounts receivable. At December 31, 2013, 94% (2012 - 80%) of the Company's trade accounts receivable was due from 4 (2012 - 2) customers.

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 has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

As at December 31, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $8,845 (December 31, 2012 - $40,887) to settle current liabilities of $ 3,948,257 (December 31, 2012 - $1,396,866).

Historically, the Company's main source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and loans from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Current liabilities are payable on demand, convertible debentures have a five year term and finance leases each have a three year term.

Financial risk management (cont'd)
 
Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 
a)
Interest risk

 
The Company has cash balances and interest-bearing loans payable. The Company’s loans and notes payable, convertible debentures and finance leases bear interest at fixed interest rates, and as such, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its loans payable.

 
b)
Foreign currency risk

 
The Company does not have any balances denominated in a foreign currency and believes it has no significant foreign currency risk.
 
21.
Commitments

a) The Company has entered into an operating lease commitment exclusive of occupancy costs for premises as follows:

Restatements
 
The Company has restated the 2012 financial statements as follows:

 
·
Goodwill : Goodwill on the acquisition of Intercept Rentals has been restated to $Nil from $1,329,465. Intercept Rentals new heating technology called "BIG HEAT", is a patent pending propane powered Frac Water Heating System that provides a safer and more efficient heating method than the methods used today by the oil & gas companies and their fracking operations. An assessment was made and any excess consideration over the net identifiable assets was concluded to be be the value of the "BIG HEAT" technology and therefore goodwill was restated to $Nil.

 
·
Technology asset , impairment of technology asset and royalty liability : Also as a result of this assessment a technology asset of $2,056,729 was recorded along with a royalty liability of $1,674,881 relating to the 10% contingent royalty payable to the former Intercept Rentals shareholders. This contingent consideration was not previously reported (Note 4). Technology asset was fully impaired at December 31, 2012. As at December 31, 2012 the royalty liability was recalculated at $1,713,962 an increase of $39,081(Note 11) that has been included in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for 2012.

 
·
Liability on acquisition of Intercept Rentals : A liability of $289,400 erroneously recorded in the acquiree’s books as part of the Intercept Rentals acquisition has been reversed effective March 20, 2012.

 
·
Prepaids and deposits, trade and other liabilities and impairment of equipment : An amount of $149,600 previously reported as prepaid deposit was capitalized to equipment. Also related to this equipment, trade and other payables were increased by $159,574 to correct for previously unrecorded obligations created on the acquisition of this equipment. These two adjustments resulted in increase in equipment by $309,174. At December 31, 2012 this equipment of $309,174 was impaired.
 
 
·
Share capital and contributed surplus : Throughout 2012 the Company completed private placement financings of 23,583,765 units for gross proceeds of $1,704,939. Each unit consisted of one share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to acquire an additional share for a period of 18 to 24 months from the closing date at a price from $0.15 to $0.18. Based on the relative fair value of each of the components, the sales of these units during the year has resulted in $708,316 of the net proceeds being allocated to contributed surplus in respect to the warrants. As a result of this share capital has been reduced and contributed surplus has been increased by $708,316 to reflect the warrant portion of the value of these units that was not previously recorded (Note 13).

 
·
Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") : Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $53,195 has been reclassified to contributed surplus in the opening 2012 balances. This amount was erroneously classified as AOCI when the Company exited the United States and the translation adjustment giving rise to the AOCI was realized.
