BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for Westport Innovations Inc. (“Westport”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 provides an update to our annual amended MD&A dated October 15, 2015 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
 
We are a leading provider of high-performance, low-emission engine and fuel system technologies utilizing gaseous fuels. Our technology and products enable light- (less than 5.9 litre), medium- (5.9 to 10 litre), heavy-duty- (10 to 16 litre) and high-horsepower- (greater than 16 litre) petroleum-based fuel engines and vehicles to use primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner and generally less expensive alternative fuel based on a more abundant natural resource. Through our partnerships and direct sales efforts, we sell natural gas and propane engines, fuel systems, and components to customers in more than 79 countries. We currently have strategic relationships with three of the world's top four engine producers and supply or have strategic relationships with six of the world's top ten truck producers, as well as seven of the world's top ten automotive manufacturers. Our strategic relationships with Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") provide us with access to their manufacturing capacity, supply chain and global distribution networks without incurring the considerable investment associated with these assets. We commercialize our technology in markets where demand for clean, low emission engines is prevalent.
 
Since our founding in 1995, we have invested over $700 million towards the research, development and commercialization of our proprietary technologies and related products. Conversely, our research and development efforts and investments have resulted in a substantial patent portfolio that serves as the foundation for our differentiated technology offerings and competitive advantage. Our technologies and related products enable combustion engines to use gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, propane, renewable natural gas (“RNG”) or hydrogen. The substitution of natural gas for petroleum-based fuel drives a reduction in harmful combustion emissions, such as particulate matter and greenhouse gases, in addition to providing a relatively inexpensive alternative fuel from a more plentiful natural resource.

The principle focus of the operating business units are summarized below:
 
Operating Business Units
 
Westport Operations:

During the first quarter of 2015, Westport realigned the structure of the Company's internal organization. The realignment combines, our historical operating segments, Westport Applied Technologies, Westport On-Road Systems and Westport Off-Road Systems into a single operating segment, Westport Operations. This change reflects the manner in which operating decisions and assessing business performance is currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (the CEO and the COO “CODMs”). As Westport narrows its focus within certain business units, including its investments in joint ventures, and defers certain products and related programs, the CODMs manage the combined businesses as a whole. Therefore, the Westport Operations segment provides more meaningful information to users of Westport’s financial statements.   Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these operating segment changes.

Westport Operations designs, manufactures and sells compressed natural gas ("CNG"), liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), and liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") components and systems to over 20 global OEMs, including Fiat, Volkswagen, Tata Motors, the GAZ Group, Chrysler, General Motors, Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), PACCAR Inc., Volvo Car Group, Hyundai and Kia and to aftermarket customers in over 79 countries. Sales from Westport's wholly-owned Italian subsidiaries, OMVL S.p.A. ("OMVL") and Emer S.p.A ("Emer"), including Emer's wholly-owned subsidiary Valtek S.p.A., Westport's Australian operations, and recently acquired Netherlands based Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. ("Prins"), are made either directly to OEMs or through one of their many global distributors. Westport Operations has a strong customer base in Europe and North America and is growing in Asia, South America, and Africa.

Westport supports customers with vehicle conversions through the Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier ("QVM") program with products in the Ford line, including transit, cargo shuttle and taxi vehicles.  Sold under the Westport WiNG™ Power System brand, product offerings include the Ford Transit Van dedicated, F-250/F-350 bi-fuel (CNG and gasoline) and dedicated, F-450 to F-650, F-59 dedicated, E-450 dedicated and Transit Connect bi-fuel vehicle models.  Westport also provides aftermarket conversion products, alternative fuel systems and application engineering.

Other products include Volvo Car bi-fuel systems (CNG and gasoline) for the V60 and V70 bi-fuel wagon; Westport JumpStartTM mobile fuel services; Westport iCE PACKTM for spark-ignited ("SI") engines, LNG tender products for the rail market and WestportTM     industrial engines sold to Clark Material Handling and Cummins Western Canada for forklift and oilfield applications.

 
Corporate and Technology Investments Business Unit
The Corporate and Technology Investments business unit ("Corporate and Technology Investments") is responsible for investments in new research and development programs with OEMs, corporate oversight and general administrative duties. Corporate and Technology Investments focuses on long-term product development and future return on investments. Once a product is launched, the associated revenue will be recognized under Westport Operations.

Cummins Westport Inc. Joint Venture
Cummins Westport Inc. (“CWI”), our 50:50 joint venture with Cummins, Inc., (“Cummins”), serves the medium- to heavy-duty engine markets. CWI engines are offered by many OEMs for use in transit, school and shuttle buses, conventional trucks and tractors, and refuse collection trucks, as well as specialty vehicles such as short-haul port drayage trucks and street sweepers. The fuel for CWI engines is typically carried on the vehicles as CNG or LNG. CWI engines are produced at certain of Cummins' plants, allowing CWI to leverage Cummins' manufacturing footprint without incurring additional capital costs. CWI also utilizes Cummins' supply chain, back office systems and distribution and sales networks. CWI is the leading supplier of natural gas engines to the North American medium- and heavy-duty truck and transit bus industries.

Weichai Westport Inc. Joint Venture
Weichai Westport Inc. (“WWI”) is a joint venture between Westport (35% interest), Weichai Holding Group Co. Ltd. (40% interest) ("Weichai") and Hong Kong Peterson (CNG) Equipment Ltd. ("Hong Kong Peterson") (25% interest) focusing on the Chinese market. WWI develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, alternative fuel engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach, and heavy-duty truck applications in China or exported to other regions globally.




GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS
 
On July 7, 2015, the Company announced it will offer dedicated, liquid propane systems for 2016 Ford 5.0L F-150 trucks. This new liquid propane system will be offered in addition to Westport’s compressed natural gas (CNG) package for 2016 Ford F-150 trucks. Both fuel options are part of the Westport WiNG™ Power System and are expected to be certified to EPA and CARB standards.

On July 28, 2015, the Company announced that CWI is introducing the 2016 ISB6.7 G, a 6.7-liter MidRange, factory-built, dedicated natural gas engine, to the Type C School bus market. The ISB6.7 G natural gas engine is based on the Cummins ISB6.7 diesel engine platform and is fueled by CNG, LNG or renewable natural gas ("RNG"), utilizing CWI's proprietary spark-ignited, stoichiometric combustion with cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation ("SEGR") technology. Currently in field trials, the ISB6.7 G will be in full production by mid-2016.

On September 1, 2015, the Company and Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc ("Fuel Systems") jointly announced that the companies have entered into a merger agreement to create a premier alternative fuel vehicle and engine company. Under the terms of the merger, Westport will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fuel Systems common stock in a stock-for-stock transaction under which Fuel Systems shareholders will receive 2.129 Westport shares for each share of Fuel Systems common stock they own at the closing date. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions. Subsequent to September 30, 2015 the Company disclosed that it satisfied the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. There is no further antitrust clearance required to close the transaction. The transaction is also subject to the required approval of both Fuel Systems and Westport's shareholders.

On September 23, 2015, the Company announced the delivery of the first 2016 Volvo V60 Bi-Fuel cars to key customer Sunfleet, a Volvo car sharing organization in Sweden. The 2016 Volvo Bi-Fuel is based on Volvo’s new two-litre, direct injection, four-cylinder Drive-E powertrain family. Part of the Volvo Engine Architecture family—ranked as one of the best engine families in the world – this engine offers 245 HP and 350NM in torque with emissions as low as 38g CO2/km (according to the Swedish Transport Administration’s calculation method for biomethane), and is considered one of the greenest, most powerful natural gas engines in the world.

Westport Operations revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $3.6 million, or 14% to $21.5 million from $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Westport Operations has been impacted significantly by the decline in the price of oil and the strengthening of the US dollar. Revenue from European operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015, including the Prins acquisition increased by €4.4 million, however on a US dollar basis was consistent with the prior year period as a result of the stronger dollar. Revenue from North American operations decreased by approximately $3.5 million primarily as a result of decreased sales in Westport's Ford qualified vehicle modifier ("QVM") business and Westport iCEPACK.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 revenue decreased $26.3 million, or 26% to $73.6 million from $99.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Revenue from European operations, including recent acquisitions, increased by €6.2 million while revenue from North American operations decreased by $18.3 million. The decrease in revenue from North American operations was driven by decreases in Westport's Ford QVM business of $7.9 million, decreased sales of Westport iCE PACK of $2.3 million, and a decrease in engineering service contracts of $8.4 million. A further decrease of approximately $12.2 million in revenue was driven by unfavorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro to the US dollar equivalent.
 
Corporate and Technology Investments revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.6 million from $0.2 million to $0.8 million and to $4.6 million from $3.3 million for the nine months ended. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended was driven by meeting a milestone during the second quarter ended with one of our OEM partners.
 
CWI revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $11.8 million, or 17% from $70.6 million to $82.4 million. CWI product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $7.0 million, or 12%, to $65.5 million on sales of 2,343 units compared to $58.5 million and 2,171 units for the three months ended September 30, 2014, which was primarily attributed to higher sales in North America. CWI parts revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $4.9 million to $16.9 million compared with $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 which was due to the increase in the number of engines in service.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 revenue increased $18.3 million, or 8% from $230.2 million to $248.5 million. CWI product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $16.0 million, or 8%, to $206.8 million on sales of 7,568 units compared to $190.8 million and 7,130 units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was primarily attributed to higher sales in North America. CWI parts revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $2.3

7


million to $41.7 million compared with $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 which was due to the increase in the number of engines in service.

WWI revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $145.7 million, or 81%, from $179.3 million to $33.6 million. WWI shipped 2,992 units in 2015 compared with 14,587 units for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 revenue decreased $294.3 million, or 69%, from $425.7 million to $131.4 million. WWI shipped 10,894 units in 2015 compared with 35,785 units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. WWI results are consistent with general market conditions in China and consistent with diesel truck sales. Truck demand remains subdued, as demonstrated by the decrease in recent monthly commercial vehicle sales in China year-over-year, according to China Association of Automotive Manufactures ("CAAM").

Gross Margin for the 3 months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Total segments gross margin for the three months ended September 30, including 100% share of CWI and WWI decreased $1.6 million from $32.2 million in 2014 to $30.6 million in 2015.

Westport Operations gross margin decreased $7.3 million to $0.5 million, or 2.4% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $7.8 million, or 30.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to inventory obsolescence charges of $5.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $nil in the prior year period. Gross margin would have been 27.9% of revenue without the obsolescence charges.The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to lower revenues and changes in product mix.

CWI gross margin increased $10.3 million to $25.7 million, or 31.1% of revenue, from $15.4 million or 21.8% of revenue. CWI product margin and product gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $20.2 million and 30.9%, respectively, compared to $13.0 million and 22.3%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase in CWI gross margin percentage was due to a favorable decrease of $2.8 million in net warranty adjustments and net extended coverage claims compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Reliability of the ISL G engine has continued to improve as a result of both hardware and calibration changes. CWI parts gross margin percentage was 32.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in parts gross margin is primarily due to a change in product mix.
 
WWI gross margin decreased $5.3 million to $3.6 million, from $8.9 million. The decrease in gross margin relates to a decrease in the number of engines sold. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased from 4.9% to 10.8% as a result of changes in product mix and product pricing.

Westport Operations gross margin decreased $18.7 million to $11.9 million, or 16.2% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $30.6 million, or 30.6% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to inventory obsolescence charges of $7.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $nil in the prior year period. Gross margin would have been 26.8% of revenue without the obsolescence charges. Gross margin also decreased due to lower revenue and changes in product mix.

CWI gross margin increased $43.5 million to $76.9 million, or 30.9% of revenue, from 33.4 million or 14.5% of revenue. CWI product margin and product gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $63.0 million and 30.5%, respectively, compared to $21.7 million and 11.4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase in CWI gross margin percentage was due to a favorable decrease of $31.3 million in net warranty adjustments and net extended coverage claims compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Reliability of the ISL G engine has continued to improve as a result of both hardware and calibration changes. CWI parts gross margin percentage was 33.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 29.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
 
WWI gross margin decreased $8.9 million to $15.1 million, from $24.0 million. The decrease in gross margin relates to a decrease in the number of the engines sold. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased from 5.6% to 11.5% as a result of changes in product mix and product pricing.

Westport Operations research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $1.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due to reduction in program expenses, decreased headcount, and favorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

Corporate and Technology Investments research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $3.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due to reduction in program expenses and prioritizing of investment programs, decreased headcount and favorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

Westport Operations SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $5.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to decreased headcount and favorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

Corporate and Technology Investments SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $3.5 million due to increased stock-based compensation expense and one time costs of $3.3 million related to the proposed merger between the Company and Fuel Systems. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 SG&A expenses decreased $1.2 million due to decreased headcount and favorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

Foreign exchange gains and losses reflected net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and the net unrealized gains and losses on our net U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in our Canadian operations that were mainly composed of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, the Company has foreign exchange exposure on Euro denominated monetary assets and liabilities where the functional currency of the subsidiary is not the Euro. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $8.0 million and a net foreign exchange gain of $12.0 million, respectively, with the decline in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $2.2 million and a net foreign exchange gain of $2.5 million, respectively, with the movement in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. A majority of the foreign exchange gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is unrealized.
 

Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.3 million and $10.4 million compared to $4.7 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease primarily relates to favorable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.
 

Income from investments accounted for by the equity method primarily relates to our 50% interest in CWI and our 35% interest in WWI and our increase in equity income results primarily from higher revenues and gross margins for CWI in the current year compared to the prior period.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified adjustments in CWI's estimated 2014 financial statement results, which primarily related to warranty accrual. The identified adjustments resulted in a cumulative $1.2 million understatement of the Company’s income from investments accounted for by the equity method for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company corrected the amounts related to CWI in the first quarter of 2015, which had the net effect of increasing income from investments accounted for by the equity method by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company did not believe this adjustment was material to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and, therefore, did not restate any prior period amounts. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 consolidated interim financial statements.

Interest on long-term debt increased for the nine months ended due to additional interest from Canadian debentures and senior financing facilities as a result of increased long term debt as of September 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to income tax recovery of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
 
The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily relates to higher distributable earnings from our investment in CWI.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.4 million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $nil). The impairment was recorded against OrcaTM LNG trailers ("Orcas") which provide in-yard fleets convenient refueling in the absence of a permanent liquefied natural gas ("LNG") solution. The method used to determine fair value was recent sales of Orcas and the impairment charge was recorded in the Westport Operations segment.

Goodwill impairment

Goodwill is subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company's annual assessment date is November 30. However, based on the revenue and operating results of the Italian reporting unit, which is within the Westport Operations segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the decline in the outlook for the remainder of 2015 and future years and the decline in the Company's share price, the Company concluded there were impairment indicators requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of September 30, 2015. Based on the Company's assessment, it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $18.7 million in the Italian reporting unit.

Finalization of purchase price allocation for Prins

On December 2, 2014 ("the acquisition date"), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. ("Prins") for a base purchase price of EUR 12.2 million ($15.0 million). The Company paid cash of EUR 2.5 million ($3.1 million) and assumed debt of EUR 9.7 million ($11.9 million).

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on it estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The Measurement Period Adjustments to goodwill for the Prins acquisition were primarily due to a settlement agreement reached with the sellers during the third quarter of 2015 for working capital disputes related to the acquisition. The Company received a cash settlement of EUR 0.7 million ($0.8 million) from the sellers, which contributed to the purchase price of Prins being revised to EUR 11.5 million ($14.2 million). The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities were revised from the estimated values filed on Form 40-F/A on October 15, 2015 as a result of the Company’s finalizing the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Goodwill increased by $0.1 million, while current assets decreased by $0.8 million and current liabilities increased by $0.1 million. There was no effect on current period earnings as a result of the changes to the provisional amounts recognized.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS, RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
As at September 30, 2015, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment position was $42.1 million, a decrease of $51.9 million from $94.0 million at December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents consist of guaranteed investment certificates, term deposits and bankers acceptances with maturities of 90 days or less when acquired. Short-term investments consist of investment grade bankers’ acceptances, term deposits and commercial paper. We invest primarily in short-term paper issued by Schedule 1 Canadian banks, R1 high rated corporations and governments.
 
The Company has sustained net losses over the past several years and as at September 30, 2015 had an accumulated deficit of $840.0 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its available cash, its ability to find new sources of financing or raise cash through the sale of assets while in pursuit of operating profitability. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reduced expenses through staff reductions and deferral of non-core development programs.  As a result of these actions and favourable foreign exchange movements research and development, sales and general and administrative expenses have decreased $28.6 million from $107.3 million to $78.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Our plan is to use our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, our share of CWI dividends (typically declared and paid quarterly) and borrowings under our credit facility to fund our committed milestones and obligations for our current programs. We will also continue to seek third party and government funding on commercially acceptable terms to offset costs of our investments; however, there are no guarantees that we will be successful in obtaining third party funding on acceptable terms or at all.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our cash used in operations was $54.7 million. Changes in non-cash working capital resulted in a use of $7.3 million. The $7.3 million change in working capital was impacted by decreases in accounts receivable of $5.5 million and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6.3 million and warranty liability of $4.0 million. Cash used in investing activities included the purchase of fixed assets of $4.2 million, offset by $15.1 million in dividends received from joint ventures. Cash used in financing activities included principal payments of long term debt of $6.9 million offset by issuance of long term debenture notes of $4.0 million which was primarily from our European subsidiaries. CWI dividends of $15.1 million have been received in 2015 compared to $2.6 million in 2014.
 
Westport’s capital requirements will vary depending on a number of factors, including the timing and size of orders for our LNG systems, our ability to successfully launch products on time, our supply chain and manufacturing requirements, our success in executing our business plan, relationships with current and potential strategic partners, commercial sales and margins, product reliability, progress on research and development activities, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also continue to review investment and acquisition opportunities on a regular basis for technologies, businesses and markets that would complement our own products or assist us in our commercialization plans. Significant new orders, expanded engine programs, acquisitions or investments could require additional funding. If such additional funding is not available to us, if expected orders do not materialize or are delayed, or if we have significant overspending in our programs, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development activities, reduce or cancel inventory orders, and possibly forego new program, acquisition or investment opportunities. Any of those circumstances could potentially result in a delay of the commercialization of our products in development and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts may vary significantly from estimates used. The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in accounting policies applied to the September 30, 2015 financial statements. We have identified several policies as critical to the measurement of our business operations and in understanding our results of operations. These policies, which require the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions in determining their reported amounts, include our accounting of CWI as a variable interest entity, warranty liability, revenue recognition, inventories, property, equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. The application of these and other accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 annual consolidated financial statements and our 2014 Annual Management and Discussion Analysis.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
 
(a)    New accounting pronouncements:

Revenue:

In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Topic 606 is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 (i.e., annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within the annual periods).  The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

Going Concern:

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” outlining management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, along with the required disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs:

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires debt issuance costs related to a debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs has not changed. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330): Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which consists of the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal, and transportation. For public entities, the updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805): Business Combinations:

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-16, which replaces the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively with a requirement that an acquirer recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public business entities, ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the guidance, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. Our early adoption of ASU 2015-16 in the third quarter of 2015 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. However, as described in the December 31, 2014 annual amended MD&A, management concluded that the review control over the unaudited financial information of CWI, which is used in the Company's accounting and disclosures for the Company's investment in CWI, was not designed with sufficient precision to prevent or detect a potential material error in CWI’s financial information. Accordingly, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements related to the investment in CWI will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have developed enhanced control procedures designed to address the material weakness. The enhancements to the design of the control include the following:

Enhanced review procedures over CWI’s quarterly and annual financial statements including discussions with CWI management on significant accounting matters involving estimates and judgments on an interim and annual basis.

Increased coordination with CWI with respect to the timing of their annual audit in order to receive audited financial statements from CWI as the basis of the Company's accounting and disclosure for the investment in CWI on an annual basis, if possible.

We are not certain that the CWI audit may be completed in time for our filing requirements. To address this possibility, by year end we will improve the design of our review controls with a formalized evaluation for areas requiring investigation and follow up with enhanced tracking of those issues and how they are concluded upon on a timely basis. This may involve meeting with the auditors and management of CWI to discuss the status of the annual audit, obtain an understanding for the risk areas, and any potential errors identified or open issues prior to the completion of our review.

The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. This testing will be completed during our year end controls assessment.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
Our revenues and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of product deliveries, product mix, product launch dates, research and development project cycles, timing of related government funding, impairment charges, stock-based compensation awards and foreign exchange impacts. Net loss has and can vary significantly from one quarter to another depending on operating results, gains and losses from investing activities, recognition of tax benefits and other similar events.

(1) In 2014, the Company combined the parts revenue with product revenue into a single line item. This has been reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

(2) The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) does not have a standardized meaning according to U.S. GAAP. See non-GAAP measures for more information.

(3) The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Westport defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for amortization of stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, and non-cash and other unusual adjustments. See non-GAAP measures for more information.


20


Non-GAAP Measures:

We use certain non-GAAP measures to assist in assessing our financial performance. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed in U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
EBITDA
The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines EBITDA as loss before income taxes adjusted for interest expense (net) and depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that EBITDA is an important indicator commonly reported and widely used by investors and analysts as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance and ability. The intent is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and such measures do not have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other issuers may define EBITDA differently.

(1) Interest expense, net is defined as the aggregate of bank charges, interest, and other, interest on long term-debt and amortization of discount.

EBITDA decreased $17.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to a loss of $32.5 million from a loss of $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily as a result of inventory write-downs, goodwill impairment, offset by a positive foreign exchange gain.


21


Non-GAAP Measures continued:

Adjusted EBITDA

The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to review operational progress of its business units and investment programs over successive periods and as a long-term indicator of operational performance since it ties closely to the unit’s ability to generate sustained cash flows.

Westport defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, and non-cash and other unusual adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing Westport’s operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Westport’s actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Westport, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. Westport compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results.

(1) Non-cash and other unusual adjustments include impairment of long lived assets, provision for inventory purchase commitments, intangible impairment, goodwill impairment, one time inventory obsolescence charges and one time costs related to the proposed merger between the Company and Fuel Systems. The three month ended December 31, 2014 figure included other unusual adjustments related to the discontinuation of the first generation of Westport HPDI systems.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to a loss of $9.7 million from a loss of $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily as a result of lower margins, and higher R&D and SG&A expenses.

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
An investment in our business involves risk and readers should carefully consider the risks described in our AIF and other filings on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. Our ability to generate revenue and profit from our technologies is dependent on a number of factors, and the risks discussed in our AIF, if they were to occur, could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation or prospects. While we have attempted to identify the primary known risks that are material to our business, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our AIF may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not know about now or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation or prospects. A full discussion of the risks impacting our business is contained in the AIF for the year ended December 31, 2014 under the heading “Risk Factors” and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars except share and per share amounts)
 

1. Basis of preparation:

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2015, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required on an annual basis, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the appropriate securities regulatory authorities.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and condensed consolidated cash flows as at September 30, 2015 and for all periods presented, have been recorded. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for Westport Innovations Inc.’s (“the Company”) full year.

The Company’s reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement presentation is the United States dollar. The functional currencies of the Company’s operations and subsidiaries include the following: United States, Canadian and Australian dollar, Euro, Chinese Renminbi (RMB), and Swedish Krona. The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-US dollar functional currency operations using the period end exchange rates, shareholders’ equity balances using the weighted average of historical exchange rates, and revenues and expenses using the monthly average rate for the period with the resulting exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

Except as otherwise noted, all amounts in these financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. For the periods presented, the Company used the following exchange rates:

2. Accounting Changes

(a)    New accounting pronouncements:

Revenue:

In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Topic 606 is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 (i.e., annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within the annual periods).  The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

Going Concern:

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15. Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern outlining management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, along with the required disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs:

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires debt issuance costs related to a debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs has not changed. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330): Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which consists of the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal, and transportation. For public entities, the updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

2. Accounting Changes continued:

Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805): Business Combinations:

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-16, which replaces the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively with a requirement that an acquirer recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public business entities, ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the guidance, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. Our early adoption of ASU 2015-16 in the third quarter of 2015 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. Long-term investments (continued):

(b)   Cummins Westport Inc.:
 
The Company and Cummins Inc. (“Cummins”) each own 50% of the common shares of CWI. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized its share of CWI’s income of $3,451 (three months ended September 30, 2014 - income of $893) and $12,785 (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - income of $458), as income from investment accounted for by the equity method. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified adjustments in CWI's estimated 2014 financial results, which primarily related to warranty accrual. The identified adjustments resulted in a cumulative $1,184 understatement of the Company’s income from investments accounted for by the equity method for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company corrected the amounts related to CWI in the first quarter of 2015, which had the net effect of increasing income from investments accounted for by the equity method by $1,184 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company did not believe this adjustment was material to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and, therefore, did not restate any prior period amounts. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 consolidated interim financial statements.

Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of CWI, at 100% are as follows:

6. Variable interest entities:

Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors.  No one shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI.  The Board of Directors has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the governing documents.  As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared. 
 
Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI.  Under the new Joint Venture Agreement, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established revenue baseline, and then any excess profits will be allocated 75% to the Company and 25% to Cummins.  The Company has not historically provided and does not intend to provide financial or other support to CWI that the Company is not contractually required to provide.
 
The carrying amount and maximum exposure to losses relating to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary, and which have not been consolidated, were as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,419 (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $0). The impairment was recorded against OrcaTM LNG trailers ("Orcas") which provide in-yard fleets convenient refueling in the absence of a permanent liquefied natural gas ("LNG") solution. The method used to determine fair value was recent sales of Orcas and the impairment charge was recorded in the Westport Operations segment.

(1) Goodwill is subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company's annual assessment date is November 30. However, based on the revenue and operating results of the Italian reporting unit, which is within the Westport Operations segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the decline in the outlook for the remainder of 2015 and future years and the decline in the Company's share price, the Company concluded there were impairment indicators requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of September 30, 2015. Based on the Company's assessment, it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $18,707 in the Italian reporting unit.

The remaining goodwill of $3,104 relates to the Netherlands reporting unit, which is within the Westport Operations' segment.

An assessment of the carrying value of goodwill was previously conducted as of November 30, 2014. Based on the Company's assessment, it was determined that carrying amount of goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $18,543 in the US reporting unit, which is within the Westport Operations segment for the year ended December 31, 2014.

13. Share Capital, stock options and other stock-based plans:
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued 717,041 common shares, net of cancellations, upon exercises of share units and in connection with earn out payments stipulated by the total purchase price to acquire Alternative Fuel Vehicle Sweden AB ("AFV") (nine months ended September 30, 2014442,716). The Company issues shares from treasury to satisfy stock option and share unit exercises.
 

(a)    Share units ("Units"):

The value assigned to issued Units and the amounts accrued are recorded as other equity instruments. As Units are exercised or vest and the underlying shares are issued from treasury of the Company, the value is reclassified to share capital.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $11,266 (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $9,053) of stock-based compensation associated with the Westport Omnibus Plan and the former Amended and Restated Unit Plan.
 
A continuity of the Units issued under the Westport Omnibus Plan and the former Amended and Restated Unit Plan as of September 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014 are as follows:

During 2015, 5,457,265 (September 30, 2014 - 1,547,231) share units were granted to employees. This included 2,762,265 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") (2014 - 490,684) and 2,695,000 Performance Share Units ("PSUs") (2014 - 1,056,547). Values of RSU awards are generally determined based on the fair market value of the underlying Common Share on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a three year period so the actual value received by the individual depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for Common Shares, not the date of grant. PSU awards do not have a certain number of Common Shares that will issue over time - it depends on future performance and other conditions tied to the payout of the PSU. The vesting of the 2,695,000 PSU's granted in 2015 is conditional upon Shareholders of Westport approving an increase in the number of awards available for issuance pursuant to the Westport Omnibus Plan. As a result these PSU's are being treated as a liability until this condition is met.
 
As at September 30, 2015, $32,271 of compensation cost related to Units awarded has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it is obligated to indemnify a third party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise as a result of contracts for sale of the Company’s product to customers where the Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such as product liabilities. The potential impact on the Company’s financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be made and the final outcome of potential claims. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to these types of indemnifications.
 
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions in the ordinary course or business and believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.

(b) Purchase Commitments

The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and contract manufacturers. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with suppliers and contract manufacturers. A portion of our reported estimated purchase commitments arising from these agreements are firm, noncancelable, and unconditional commitments. The Company may be subject to penalties, and may lose important suppliers, if it is unable to meet its purchase commitments.

16. Segment information:

During the first quarter of 2015, Westport realigned the structure of the Company's internal organization. The realignment combines our historical operating segments, Westport Applied Technologies, Westport On-Road Systems and Westport Off-Road Systems into a single operating segment, Westport Operations. This change reflects the manner in which operating decisions and assessing business performance is currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (the CEO and the COO “CODMs”). As Westport narrows its focus within certain business units, including its investments in joint ventures, and defers certain products and related programs, the CODMs manage the combined businesses as a whole. Therefore, the Westport Operations segment provides more meaningful information to users of Westport’s financial statements.   Prior period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these operating segment changes.

The financial information for the Company’s business segments evaluated by the CODMs includes the results of the CWI and WWI as if it were consolidated, which is consistent with the way Westport manages its business segments. As CWI and WWI are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, an adjustment is reflected in the tables below to reconcile the segment measures to the Company’s consolidated measures.
 
The Company’s business operates in four operating segments:
 
- Westport Operations designs manufactures and sells compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas components and systems to over 20 global OEMs, and to aftermarket customers in over 60 countries.
 
- Corporate and Technology Investments includes corporate costs such as research and development, general and administrative, marketing, interest and other charges, foreign exchange and depreciation that cannot be attributed to a particular segment and are incurred by all segments;
 
- CWI serves the medium- to heavy-duty engine markets with spark ignited natural gas engines. The fuel for CWI engines is typically carried on vehicles as compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas; and
 
- WWI develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, alternative fuel engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach, and heavy-duty truck applications in China or exported to other regions globally.
 

The accounting policies for the reportable segments are consistent with those described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The CODMs evaluate segment performance based on gross margin and on the net operating income (loss), which is before income taxes, and does not include depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, foreign exchange gains and losses, bank charges, interest and other expenses, interest and other income, and gain on sale of long-term investments.

17. Financial Instruments (continued):

(b)    Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term period to maturity of these instruments.
 
The Company’s short-term investments are recorded at fair value.  The long-term investment represents our interests in the CWI, WWI and other equity accounted for investees, which are accounted for using the equity method.
 
The carrying value reported in the balance sheets for obligations under capital lease, which is based upon discounted cash flows, approximates its fair value.
 
The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for the unsecured subordinated debenture notes (note 11) approximates its fair value, based on market rates of interest for similar indebtedness. Additionally, the interest rate on the notes approximates the interest rate being demanded in the market for debt with similar terms and conditions.
     
The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for senior financing agreements (note 11) approximates their fair values as at September 30, 2015, as the interest rates on the debt is floating and therefore approximates the market rates of interest.  The Company’s credit spread also has not substantially changed from the premiums currently paid.
 
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis into three categories as follows:
 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Level 3 –
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
 
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1.  When necessary, Level 2 valuations are performed based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets and/or model–derived valuations with inputs that are observable in active markets.  Level 3 valuations are undertaken in the absence of reliable Level 1 or Level 2 information. 
 
As at September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are included in Level 1.

Note 18. Business Combinations

(a)    Acquisition of Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V.

On December 2, 2014 ("the acquisition date"), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. ("Prins") for a base purchase price of EUR 12,200 ($15,017). The Company paid cash of EUR 2,500 ($3,112) and assumed debt of EUR 9,700 ($11,905). The results of Prins's consolidated operations have been included since December 2, 2014. Prins is a world leader in the development of alternative fuel systems and provides cost-effective and innovative solutions for a wide range of engine types.

The Company recognized $342 of acquisition related costs in General and Administrative expense under the Corporate and Technology Investments segment during the year ended December 31, 2014.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were provisional at December 31, 2014 and were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believed that information provided a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company was waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected were subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expected to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on it estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments to goodwill for the Prins acquisition were primarily due to a settlement agreement reached with the sellers during the third quarter of 2015 for working capital disputes related to the acquisition. The Company received a cash settlement of EUR 700 ($787) from the sellers, which contributed to the purchase price of Prins being revised to EUR 11,500 ($14,230). The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities were revised from the estimated values filed on Form 40-F/A on October 15, 2015 as a result of the Company’s finalizing the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Goodwill increased by $149, while current assets decreased by $791 and current liabilities increased by $145. There was no effect on current period earnings as a result of the changes to the provisional amounts recognized.
