(1) Results through May 31, 2011 have been prepared on a carve-out basis.
Enerflex became an independently operated and listed company on June 1,
2011.
(2) Operating income and EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that do not have a
standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
(3) EBITDA for the twelve months of 2010 is normalized for the net impact of
the gain on available for sale assets of $18.6 million related to Toromont's
acquisition of Enerflex Systems Income Fund ("ESIF").
(4) 2010 net earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations
include $17.2 million after tax related to Toromont's acquisition of ESIF.
Enerflex reported higher results from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to the same period last year. Net earnings from continuing operations increased by $9.4 million (113.3%) as a result of higher revenues and higher gross margins.
The Company recorded bookings of $453.3 million during the quarter on increased activity levels in all regions compared to the same period last year, driven predominantly by growth in unconventional natural gas basins, liquids-rich gas basins and gas production in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA"). Backlog has grown to $986.1 million, which represents an increase of $342.5 million (53.2%) compared to the same period last year. This backlog provides strong visibility for revenue growth in 2012.
"The Enerflex management team is very pleased with our strong fourth quarter and year-end financial results," said J. Blair Goertzen, Enerflex's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have significantly outperformed 2010. We saw strong growth in bookings during 2011, which increased our backlog levels throughout the year. This positions the Company well and provides strong revenue visibility for 2012."
GE's Gas Engines business has recently realigned its channel-to-market strategy and distribution network and as a result, the Company has benefitted in the following ways. First, in addition to our current distribution territory for Waukesha parts in Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, GE's Gas Engines has increased our territory to include an additional 16 U.S. states. Second, the distribution agreement for GE's Gas Engines in the existing and expanded territory will also now include the right for Gas Drive to sell new engines. Third, Gas Drive has been notified of GE's Gas Engines interest in extending distribution rights for the Jenbacher natural gas engine and parts product line for all of Canada. Lastly, our current distribution rights for the Waukesha product will continue in the territories of Australia and Indonesia. This overall network realignment strengthens both Gas Drive's and GE's Gas Engine's ability to meet their customers' needs by providing an unprecedented level of service and support.
Enerflex was awarded a US $228 million contract for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a gas processing plant to be located in the Sultanate of Oman. The contract includes the supply by Enerflex of all associated equipment including; gas processing and compression equipment, gas/condensate export facilities, produced water treatment, power plant, central control room, electrical substation and associated utilities. The expected completion date of this project will be in the third to fourth quarter of 2013.

payable on April 4, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 12, 2012.
Financial Results
Enerflex's $36.2 million or 10.4% period-over-period increase in revenue to $383.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 was a result of increased revenue in the Canada and Northern U.S. and International segments predominantly offset by decreased revenues in the Southern U.S. and South America. Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased $5.6 million compared to the same period of last year, while Southern U.S. and South America revenues decreased by $19.7 million. The International segment increased revenues by $50.2 million to $122.3 million from $72.1 million in 2010.
During the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011, the Company generated $1,227.1 million in revenue as compared to $1,067.8 million in the same period of 2010, a result of increased revenues in the Canada and Northern U.S. and International business segments. Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased by $70.5 million while International segment revenues increased by $110.8 million. This was offset by a $22.0 million decrease in Southern U.S. and South America revenues.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") totalled $127.0 million in the twelve months of 2011, an increase of 57.6% compared to the same period of the prior year.
Gross margin of $68.6 million represented an increase of 6.4% over the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily due to strong gross margin performance in Canada and Northern U.S. and International, resulting from improved plant utilization, improved rental margins and increased activity in Australasia related to coal seam gas projects. This was partially offset by lower gross margin performance in the Southern U.S. and South America business segments, as a result of lower awarded gross margins and timing of revenue recognition of projects in backlog. Gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $225.9 million or 18.4% of revenue as compared to $183.9 million or 17.2% of revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $42.0 million. The increase in gross margin compared to the same period in 2010 resulted from the recognition of revenue on approved change orders related to past projects in MENA, improved plant utilization in our North American operations and stronger rental margins. This was partially offset by project cost over-runs, impairment of work in process on specific projects in Australia due to weather related delays in Queensland and lower realized margins in the Southern U.S. and South America.
Backlog at December 31, 2011 increased to $986.1 million compared to $643.6 million at December 31, 2010, a 53.2% increase over the comparable period. These increases are a result of increased activity in unconventional natural gas basins, liquids-rich gas basins in the United States and Canada, increased gas production in MENA and various liquefied natural gas to coal seam gas projects in Australia.
"Our operating and financial performance has further strengthened our balance sheet. Our low net debt gives us the flexibility we need to continue to expand our footprint and grow our business", said Mr. Goertzen. "As we execute on our current backlog we expect the financial performance of the organization to continue to improve."

THE COMPANY
Enerflex Ltd. was formed after the acquisition of Enerflex Systems Income Fund ("ESIF") by Toromont and subsequent integration of Enerflex's products and services with Toromont's existing Natural Gas Compression and Process business. In January 2010, the operations of Toromont Energy Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Toromont Industries Ltd., were combined with the operations of ESIF to form Enerflex Ltd. Enerflex began independent operations on June 1, 2011 pursuant to the Arrangement with Toromont which received all necessary regulatory approvals. The transaction was implemented by way of a plan of arrangement whereby Toromont shareholders received one share of Enerflex for each common share of Toromont, creating two independent public companies - Toromont Industries Ltd. and Enerflex Ltd. Enerflex's shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on June 3, 2011 under the symbol EFX.
Enerflex Ltd. is a single-source supplier for natural gas compression, oil and gas processing, refrigeration systems and power generation equipment - plus in-house engineering and mechanical services expertise. The Company's broad in-house resources provide the capability to engineer, design, manufacture, construct, commission and service hydrocarbon handling systems. Enerflex's expertise encompasses field production facilities, compression and natural gas processing plants, CO2 processing plants, refrigeration systems and power generators serving the natural gas production industry.
Headquartered in Calgary, Canada, Enerflex has approximately 2,900 employees worldwide. Enerflex, its subsidiaries, interests in affiliates and joint-ventures operate in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Bahrain and Indonesia.
OVERVIEW
The oil and natural gas service sector in Canada has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while the Service and Rentals product line revenues are more stable throughout the year. Rentals revenues are also impacted by both the Company's and its customer's capital investment decisions. The International markets are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends usually occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
During the twelve months of 2011, Enerflex continued to see improved bookings in all regions, including successful bids on large projects in Canada, the Southern U.S. and the International segments. Manufacturing activity levels have increased in Canada and Northern U.S. and International while service activity levels have increased in all regions as we continue to expand Enerflex's branch network and field operations in all three segments. Manufacturing revenue was lower in the Southern U.S. and South America during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period the prior year. Booking activity has increased in this region during 2011 driven predominantly by the Eagle Ford and Marcellus shale gas basins. As a result, the decrease in revenues in the twelve months of 2011 is related to timing of project deliveries which have been deferred into the first quarter of 2012 and not lower activity levels.
North American rental utilization levels were challenged throughout 2010, however, utilization rates have increased slightly throughout 2011. In the International segment, Middle East North Africa ("MENA") has contributed positively to profitability through the twelve months of the year as a result of key projects achieving commercial operation in the region and recognition of approved change orders related to past projects. The European region, within the International segment, has not performed as expected during 2011. This fact coupled with General Electric's decision to realign its distribution network in this region has resulted in Enerflex's decision to exit the Service and Combined Heat and Power ("CHP") business during the third quarter of 2011. This business unit has been reported as a discontinued operation beginning the third quarter of 2011 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and Enerflex has recorded a total impairment of $54.0 million, consisting of non-cash impairments of $46.0 million for goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value adjustments; and anticipated cash transaction costs totalling $8.0 million.

(2) EBITDA for 2010 is normalized for the net impact of the gain on
available for sale assets of $18,627. Prior to the acquisition of ESIF,
Toromont owned 3,902,100 ESIF Trust Units. On acquisition of ESIF,
Toromont recognized a pre-tax gain of $18,627 on this investment which
was recorded at the Enerflex Ltd. level.
The success of the Company and business unit strategies is measured using a number of key performance indicators, some of which are outlined below. These measures are also used by management in its assessment of relative investments in operations. These key performance indicators are not measurements in accordance with GAAP. It is possible that these measures will not be comparable to similar measures prescribed by other companies. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under GAAP.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
EBITDA provides the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, assets are amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions.
Cash flow
Cash flow provides the amount of cash generated by the business (net of non-cash working capital) and measures the Company's ability to finance capital programs and meet financial obligations.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Each operating segment assumes responsibility for its operating results as measured by, amongst other factors, operating income, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity income or loss and gain or loss on sale of assets. Financing and related charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments and income tax jurisdictions are not synonymous, and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of business segments.

Bookings and backlog are monitored by Enerflex as an indicator of future revenue and business activity levels for Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line. Bookings are recorded in a period when a firm commitment or order has been received from Enerflex's customers. Bookings increase backlog in the period that they are received. Revenue recognized on Engineered Systems products decrease backlog in the period that this revenue is recognized. As a result backlog is an indication of revenue to be recognized in future periods using percentage of completion accounting.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company generated $383.8 million in revenue, as compared to $347.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase of $36.2 million was a result of increased revenue in the Canada and Northern U.S. and International segment predominantly offset by decreased revenues in Southern U.S. and South America. As compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2010:
-- Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased by $5.7 million as a result
of higher Rental revenue, which was partially offset by lower Engineered
Systems and Service revenue. Engineered Systems revenue was impacted by
timing of revenue recognition, while Service revenue was impacted during
the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of producers deferring
maintenance due to low natural gas prices. Rental revenue was higher in
the quarter as a result of an increase in utilization rates and
increased unit sales compared to the same period in 2010;
-- Southern U.S. and South America revenues decreased by $19.7 million, as
a result of decreased Engineered Systems and Service revenue in the
fourth quarter of 2011. Engineered Systems revenue continued to be
impacted by project delivery dates being deferred to 2012. Activity
levels in this region remain robust with respect to booking and backlogs
and are being driven by liquid rich resource basins in the Eagle Ford
and the Marcellus; and
-- International revenues increased by $50.2 million as a result of
increased revenue in Australia, and Production and
Processing ("P&P"), partially offset by lower revenues in MENA and
International Compression and Power ("C&P") as a result of closing the
manufacturing facility in this segment during the fourth quarter of 2010
and the transfer of bookings and backlog related to that facility to
Enerflex's other two segments. Revenues in Australia during the fourth
quarter of 2011 benefited from increased activity in the development of
Coal Seam Gas ("CSG"), while revenues during the comparable quarter in
2010 in MENA included $40.0 million for the construction of a gas
processing facility which was accounted for as a finance lease.
Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $68.6 million or 17.9% of revenue as compared to $64.5 million or 18.6% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross margin of $4.1 million was primarily due to strong gross margin performance in Canada and Northern U.S. and International, as a result of improved plant utilization, improved rental margins and increased activity in Australasia related to CSG projects. This was partially offset by lower gross margin performance in the Southern U.S., as a result of lower awarded gross margins and timing of revenue recognition related to deferred delivery dates of projects in backlog.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $42.1 million or 11.0% of revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $42.9 million or 12.3% of revenue in the same period of 2010. The decrease in SG&A expenses during the quarter is primarily attributable to lower occupancy costs and lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher severance costs and incentive costs resulting from improved profitability.
Operating income assists the reader in understanding the net contributions made from the Company's core businesses after considering all SG&A expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Enerflex produced an operating income of $26.5 million or 6.9% of revenue as compared to operating income of $21.7 million or 6.2% of revenue in 2010. The increase in operating income in the fourth quarter of 2011 over the comparable period of 2010 was a result of the same factors contributing to the increased revenue, gross margin and lower SG&A expenses.
Finance costs and income totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $4.6 million in the same period of 2010, a decrease of $3.4 million. Finance costs in 2011 were lower than those in 2010 primarily as a result of lower average borrowings, a lower effective interest rate and higher finance income arising from higher cash balances.
Income tax expense totaled $7.9 million or 30.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared with an expense of $8.0 million or 49.0% in the same period of 2010. The decrease in expense and the effective tax rate compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to increased earnings in lower tax jurisdictions within Canada and Northern U.S. and the International segment and lower earnings in higher tax jurisdictions within the Southern U.S. and South America segment in 2011 as compared to 2010.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, Enerflex generated net earnings from continuing operations of $17.7 million or $0.22 cents per share, as compared to $8.3 million or $0.11 cents per share in the same period of 2010.
Loss from discontinued operations reflects the results of Enerflex Environmental Australia ("EEA"), Enerflex Syntech ("Syntech") and Enerflex Europe ("EE"). These business units recorded a net loss from discontinued operations, including impairments of $7.0 million ($0.09 cents per share) and net income of $1.1 million ($0.01 cents per share) in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 2010 respectively.
SEGMENTED RESULTS
Enerflex operates three business segments: Canada and Northern United States, Southern United States and South America, and International, which operate as follows:
1. Canada and Northern U.S. is comprised of three divisions:
-- Manufacturing, with business units operating in Canada and the Northern
U.S., focuses on Compression and Power which provides custom and
standard compression packages for reciprocating and screw compressor
applications, Production and Processing which designs, manufactures,
constructs and installs modular natural gas processing equipment and
Retrofit which operates from plants located in Calgary, Alberta and
Casper,Wyoming;
-- Service provides mechanical services and parts as the authorized
Waukesha distributor to the oil and gas industries, focusing in Canada
and Northern U.S. Enerflex re-branded its service business during the
fourth quarter of 2011 as Gas Drive Global LP ("Gas Drive") and was
awarded new service territories within the U.S. All future parts sales
and service revenue will be undertaken by this new wholly owned entity;
and
-- Rentals which provides compression and natural gas processing equipment
rentals in Canada and Northern U.S.
2. Southern U.S. and South America is comprised of three divisions:
-- Compression and Power provides custom and standard compression packages
for reciprocating and screw compressor applications from facilities
located in Houston, Texas;
-- Production and Processing designs, manufactures, constructs and installs
modular natural gas processing equipment; and
-- Service which provides mechanical services and products to the oil and
gas industries focusing on Southern and Eastern U.S. as well as South
America.
3. International is comprised of four divisions:
Continuing Operations:
-- AustralAsia division provides process construction for gas and power
facilities and compression package assembly. This division also provides
mechanical service and parts, as the authorized Waukesha distributor for
the oil and gas industry in this region;
-- MENA division provides engineering, procurement and construction
services, as well as operating and maintenance services for gas
compression and processing facilities in the region; and
-- P&P division designs, manufactures, constructs and installs modular
natural gas processing equipment, and waste gas systems, for the natural
gas, heavy oil Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage ("SAGD") and heavy mining
segments of the market.
Discontinued Operations:
-- Europe division provides CHP generator products and mechanical service
to the CHP product line. Enerflex has announced its intention to exit
this business over the next twelve months through a sale, partial sale
or closure of these operations. As a result of this decision, the Europe
division is reported as a discontinued operation.
Each region has three main product lines:
Engineered Systems' product line includes engineering, fabrication and assembly of standard and custom-designed compression packages, production and processing equipment and facilities and power generation systems. Engineered Systems' product line tends to be more cyclical with respect to revenue, gross margin and earnings before interest and income taxes than Enerflex's other business segments. Revenues are derived primarily from the investments made in natural gas infrastructure by producers.
Service product line includes support services, labor and parts sales to the oil and gas industry. Enerflex, through various business units, is an authorized distributor for Waukesha engines and parts in Canada, Alaska, Northern U.S., Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Enerflex is also an exclusive authorized distributor for Altronic, a leading manufacturer of electric ignition and control systems in Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Mechanical Service revenues tend to be fairly stable as ongoing equipment maintenance is generally required to maintain the customer's natural gas production.
Rentals' revenue includes a variety of rental and leasing alternatives for natural gas compression, power generation and processing equipment. The rental fleet is primarily deployed in Western Canada and Northern U.S. Expansion in international markets is conducted on a selective basis to minimize the risk of these newer markets.

----------------------------------------------
Canada and Northern U.S. revenues totaled $151.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to $146.2 million for the same period of 2010. The increase of $5.6 million was the result of higher Rental revenues due to higher utilization rates and higher sales of rental units compared to the same quarter of the prior period. This was partially off-set by lower Engineered Systems revenues and lower activity in the Service business in Canada and Wyoming as a result of lower natural gas prices. Engineered Systems revenue was slightly lower in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to timing of revenue recognition on certain projects. This region has recorded higher backlog and bookings in 2011 compared to 2010, as a result of higher activity in unconventional resource basins in Canada.
Operating income increased to $12.1 million in 2011 from $7.0 million in 2010. This $5.1 million increase was due to better gross margin performance as a result of improved plant utilization and higher realized margins on the sale and rental of compression equipment from the rental fleet during the quarter.

Southern U.S. and South America revenues totaled $109.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to $129.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease of $19.7 million was the result of deferred delivery dates on Engineered Systems projects to the first half of 2012. In addition, revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 include $32.0 million for the completion of a large pipeline project that did not reoccur in 2011. Service revenues were comparable to the fourth quarter of the prior year, as a result of higher activity levels in the unconventional resource basins in the U.S. and as a result of new service branches being opened in this region during 2011.
The Eagle Ford and Marcellus resource basins have been very active in this segment as evidenced by stronger bookings and backlog levels in 2011. The lower revenue in 2011 is related to timing of project delivery, not lower activity within this region.
Operating income decreased from $22.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $10.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, as a result of lower revenues due to timing of revenue recognition and lower realized margins, partially offset by lower SG&A compared to the same period in 2010.

Continuing Operations:
International revenues totaled $122.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $72.1 million in the same period of 2010. The increase of $50.2 million was due to higher activity levels in Australia related to CSG projects and higher activity levels for P&P in unconventional resource basins and in Africa. This was partially offset by lower revenue in MENA and lower C&P revenue as a result of the closure of the International C&P business during the fourth quarter of 2010, with its backlog transferred to plants in Casper, Wyoming and Houston, Texas. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 included $40.0 million for the construction of a gas processing facility in MENA which was accounted for as a finance lease.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.5 million, which was $10.9 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2010. Operating income improved due to lower SG&A costs as a result of the closure of the International C&P facility and improved margin performance in the MENA region resulting from a project in Oman and International P&P, as a result of improved plant utilization and higher awarded margins.
Discontinued Operations:
Operating results for the International segment do not include the results for the discontinued operations of the Syntech business, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the EEA business, which was sold in the first quarter of 2011 for a gain of $1.4 million net of tax. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Enerflex announced its intention to exit the European Service and CHP operations via a sale, partial sale or closure of this business unit. As a result, this business unit has been reported as a discontinued operation since the third quarter of 2011 and has been excluded from the operating results of the International segment.
These three discontinued operations recorded a loss before tax totaling $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to a gain of $1.1 million in the same period a year ago.
BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG
The Company records bookings and backlog when a firm commitment is received from customers for the Engineered Systems product line. Bookings represent new orders awarded to Enerflex during the period. Backlog represents unfulfilled orders at period end and is an indicator of future Engineered Systems revenue for the Company.

Backlog at December 31, 2011 was $986.1 million compared to $643.6 million at December 31, 2010, representing a 53.2% increase over the prior year.
Backlog in Canada and Northern U.S. was $41.4 million higher in 2011 as a result of increased activity in unconventional resource basins such as the Montney and Horn River. The Southern U.S. and South America backlog was $138.5 million higher during 2011 as a result of increased activity in the liquid rich shale resources in the Eagle Ford, Marcellus and Woodford resource basins. The International backlog was $162.6 million higher in 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of increased activity in Australia related to CSG exploration and increased activity in MENA related to gas production for domestic consumption. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Enerflex was awarded a USD $228.0 million contract for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a gas processing plant to be located in the Sultanate of Oman.
FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
The four quarters of 2011 includes twelve full months of activity, whereas the four quarters of 2010 includes twelve full months of activity for the legacy Toromont Compression business and eleven months and nine days activity for the legacy ESIF business.
During the twelve months of 2011, the Company generated $1,227.1 million in revenue, as compared to $1,067.8 million during the same period of 2010. The increase of $159.3 million, or 14.9%, was a result of increased revenues in the Canada and Northern U.S. and International business segments, partially offset by lower revenues in the Southern U.S. and South America business segment.
As compared to the shortened twelve month period ended December 31, 2010:
-- Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased by $70.5 million as a result
of increased Engineered Systems product sales related to the Montney and
Horn River unconventional resource basins and increased parts sales in
the Service business. This was partially offset by lower Rental revenue,
as a result of selling low horse power units in the first twelve months
of 2011 yielding less revenue, compared to the sale of higher horse
power units in the same period of 2010. The comparable period in 2010
benefited from increased sales that resulted from efforts to rationalize
idle units within the rental fleet in Canada as part of the integration
of the two businesses.
-- Southern U.S. and South America revenues decreased by $22.0 million, as
a result of a lower average foreign exchange rate in 2011 and delayed
delivery dates for Engineered Systems bookings recorded in 2010 and
2011. This has deferred revenue recognition on these projects into 2012.
The Eagle Ford, Woodford and Marcellus resource basins have been very
active in this segment during the year as evidenced by strong booking
levels and higher backlog during 2011, when compared to the same period
in 2010. As a result, the lower revenue in 2011 is related to deferred
project deliveries, not lower activity or reduced business prospects
within this region; and
-- International revenues increased by $110.8 million as a result of
increased revenues in Australia due to CSG projects and
P&P projects related to unconventional resource basins and gas
production in Africa. This was partially offset by lower revenues in
MENA and International C&P for the twelve months of 2011 resulting from
the closure of the International C&P facility during the fourth quarter
of 2010. Revenues for 2010 included $40.0 million for the construction
of a gas processing facility in MENA which was accounted for as a
sales-type lease.
Gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $225.9 million or 18.4% of revenue as compared to $183.9 million or 17.2% of revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $42.0 million. Contributing to the gross margin increase over the first twelve months of 2010 was strong gross margin performance in Canada and Northern U.S. as a result of increased revenues from Engineered Systems, improved plant utilization, improved rental utilization rates and stronger parts sales. International gross margins were also higher than the same period a year ago, as a result of the recognition of approved change orders related to past projects in MENA, which contributed $16.5 million to gross margin, partially off-set by under applied overhead, project cost over-runs and impairment of work in process on specific projects in Australia due to weather related delays in Queensland. Southern U.S. and South America gross margins were lower compared to the same period in 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $145.8 million or 11.9% of revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $142.9 million or 13.4% of revenue in the same period of 2010. The increase of $2.9 million in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to a full twelve months of costs in 2011, compared to 2010, which included SG&A costs for the legacy Enerflex business for only eleven months and nine days.
Operating income for 2011 was $80.1 million or 6.5% of revenue as compared to an operating income of $41.0 million or 3.8% of revenue in 2010. The increase in operating income in 2011 over 2010 was a result of the same factors contributing to the increased gross margin partially offset by the increased SG&A expenses.
Finance costs and income totaled $7.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $15.5 million in the same period of 2010, a decrease of $8.5 million. Finance costs in 2011 were lower than those in 2010 primarily as a result of lower average borrowings, a lower effective interest rate and higher finance income, resulting from higher invested cash balances.
Income tax expense totaled $21.1 million or 27.1% of pre-tax income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared with $14.4 million or 32.2% of pre-tax income during the same period of 2010. The increase in income taxes during the period compared to 2010 was primarily due to an increase in earnings before taxes from operations. Enerflex recorded a lower effective tax rate in 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, as earnings increased in lower tax jurisdictions within the International segment and the Canada and Northern U.S. segment. Earnings during the twelve months of 2010 included an $18.6 million ($17.2 million net of tax) gain realized on ESIF units, which was taxed at a lower effective rate.
During the twelve months of 2011, Enerflex generated net earnings from continuing operations of $56.7 million or $0.73 cents per share as compared to $30.3 million or $0.40 cents per share in the same period of 2010, which included the $17.2 million (net of tax gain) realized on the ESIF units.
Loss from discontinued operations reflects the results of EEA, Syntech and Enerflex Europe. These business units recorded a net loss of $64.0 million ($0.83 cents per share) (net of a $1.4 million gain on the sale of EEA) and $4.0 million ($0.05 cents per share) in the first twelve months of 2011 and 2010 respectively.

projects in Queensland.
Revenues in this region were $524.2 million for the twelve months of 2011 compared to $453.8 million for the same period of 2010. The increase of $70.4 million was the result of increased Engineered Systems revenues due to strong activity by Enerflex customers in the Montney and Horn River resource basins, increased Service revenues from parts sales in Canada and Northern U.S., partially offset by lower Rental revenue as a result of selling low horse power units in the twelve months of 2011 yielding less revenue, compared to the sale of higher horse power units in the same period of 2010. Enerflex focused on rationalizing the rental fleet in 2010 as part of its integration efforts once the acquisition of ESIF was completed.
Operating income was $38.8 million in 2011, an increase of $29.0 million compared to the same period in 2010. The improved performance was due to increased gross margin resulting from improved plant utilization, higher parts sales and higher realized margins on the sale and rental of compression equipment in the rental fleet. This was partially offset by higher SG&A as a result of a full twelve months of expenses in this segment compared to eleven months and nine days in 2010 and the transfer of staff to the Domestic C&P facility resulting from reorganization costs and the closure of the International C&P facility during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Southern U.S. and South America revenues totaled $342.3 million for the twelve months of 2011 as compared to $364.3 million in the same period of 2010. This decrease of $22.0 million was due to foreign exchange rates and the timing of revenue recognition. Delivery dates on Engineered Systems projects booked during the first half of 2011 have been delayed, deferring revenue to early 2012. Despite the timing impact of certain projects, the Eagle Ford and Marcellus resource basins have been very active in this segment in 2011 as evidenced by stronger bookings and backlog levels throughout 2011. As a result, the lower revenue in 2011 is related to lower average foreign exchange rates and the timing of project delivery, not lower activity or business prospects within this region.
Operating income decreased to $33.2 million for the twelve months ended 2011 from $46.4 million in the same period of 2010. This was as a result of lower revenue, lower realized gross margins and higher SG&A in 2011. Revenue during 2010, included $85.0 million related to large pipeline compression projects that did not reoccur in 2011.

International revenues totaled $360.6 million for the twelve months ended 2011, compared to $249.8 million during the same period of 2010. The increase of $110.8 million was due to higher activity levels in Australia related to CSG projects and higher P&P revenue resulting from gas processing projects in unconventional gas basins and gas production projects in Africa. This was partially offset by lower revenues in MENA and International C&P for the twelve months ended 2011 resulting from the closure of the International C&P facility during the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenues for 2010 included $40.0 million for the construction of a gas processing facility in MENA which was accounted for as a finance lease.
Operating income for the twelve months of 2011 was $8.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $15.3 million for the same period of 2010. Operating income improved by $23.3 million over the same period last year, as a result of increased revenues and improved margin performance in P&P resulting from improved plant utilization and the MENA division resulting from recognition of approved change orders related to past projects. This was partially offset by project delays, cost over-runs and impairment of work in process on specific projects in Australia due to weather related delays in Queensland. Operating income was also impacted by higher SG&A costs in this segment during 2011, resulting from a full twelve months of expenses in this segment compared to eleven months and nine days in 2010.
Discontinued Operations:
Operating results for the International segment do not include the results for the discontinued operations of the Syntech business, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 and EEA, which was sold in the first quarter of 2011 for a gain of $1.4 million net of tax. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Enerflex announced its intention to exit the European Service and CHP operations via a sale, partial sale or closure of this business unit. As a result, this business unit has been reported as part of discontinued operations and excluded from the operating results of the International segment.
These three discontinued operations recorded a loss before tax totaling $64.0 million (net of a $1.4 million gain on the sale of EEA), including $54.0 million of impairments in the first twelve months of 2011 compared to a loss of $4.0 million in the same period a year ago.

FINANCIAL POSITION
The following table outlines significant changes in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(unaudited) Increase /
($ millions) (Decrease) Explanation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase is primarily related to higher accrued
revenues and billings during the quarter in all
regions, partially off-set by a reclassification of
Accounts receivables to assets held for sale related to the
receivable 11.2 European operations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase is related to higher work in process
(WIP) in all segments as backlog increases,
partially offset by a reclassification of inventory
to assets held for sale related to the European
Inventory 17.6 Operations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other The decrease is due to lower finance income
current receivable resulting from recognition of finance
assets (6.8) income on the BP project and lower prepaid expenses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property, The decrease is due to depreciation charges and the
plant and sale of non-core real estate assets in Calgary and
equipment (48.9) Stettler, Alberta completed during the year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease is related to depreciation charges and
the sale of rental assets during the year, partially
Rental offset by rental asset additions to the rental
equipment (14.3) fleet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in deferred tax assets is due to a
write off of the tax assets related to the European
operations, as a result of Enerflex's decision to
exit that business. In addition, the Canada and
Deferred tax Northern U.S. region returned to profitability and
assets (8.4) utilized its non-capital loss pools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease is due to lower finance income
Other long receivable resulting from recognition of finance
term assets (5.6) income on a project in Oman.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY
The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are:
-- Cash generated from continuing operations; -- Bank financing and operating lines of credit; and -- Issuance and sale of debt and equity instruments. Statement of Cash Flows: (unaudited) ($ Canadian thousands) Years ended December 31, 2011 2010(1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash, beginning of period $ 15,000 $ 34,949 Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities 134,795 93,792 Investing activities 32,177 (288,173) Financing activities (101,438) 176,307 Exchange rate changes on foreign currency cash 666 (1,875) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash, end of period $ 81,200 $ 15,000 (1) 2010 amounts include the financial results of ESIF from the date of acquisition, January 20, 2010.
Operating Activities
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $134.8 million as compared to $93.8 million in the same period of 2010. The increase of $41.0 million was a result of improved profitability from continuing operations.
Investing Activities
Investing activities provided $32.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $288.2 million during the same period of 2010. Expenditures on capital assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 decreased by $19.6 million from the same period in 2010, while proceeds from the disposition of capital assets increased by $5.9 million as a result of the disposition of non-core real estate assets. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, Enerflex completed the sale of manufacturing facilities in Calgary and Stettler, Alberta which generated $42.9 million in 2011, while the acquisition of ESIF in the first quarter of 2010 resulted in an investment of $292.5 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $101.4 million, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $176.3 million in the same period of 2010. The year-over-year difference was primarily due to the repayment of the note to Toromont during the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by borrowings on the new debt facility and the issuance of $90.5 million in term debt during the same period, as compared to an equity investment by Toromont for the acquisition of ESIF in the first quarter of 2010.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial and operating risks that may potentially impact its operating results in any or all of its business segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Personnel
Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line requires skilled engineering and design professionals in order to maintain customer satisfaction and engage in product innovation. Enerflex competes for these professionals, not only with other companies in the same industry, but with oil and gas producers and other industries. In periods of high energy activity, demand for the skills and expertise of these professionals increases, making the hiring and retention of these individuals more difficult.
Enerflex's Service product line relies on the skills and availability of trained and experienced tradesmen and technicians to provide efficient and appropriate services to Enerflex and its customers. Hiring and retaining such individuals is critical to the success of Enerflex's businesses. Demographic trends are reducing the number of individuals entering the trades, making Enerflex's access to skilled individuals more difficult. There are few barriers to entry in a number of Enerflex's businesses, so retention of staff is essential in order to differentiate Enerflex's businesses and compete in its various markets.
Additionally, in increasing measures, Enerflex is dependent upon the skills and availability of various professional and administrative personnel to meet the increasing demands of the requirements and regulations of various professional and governmental bodies.
Energy Prices and Industry Conditions
The oil and gas service industry is highly reliant on the levels of capital expenditures made by oil and gas producers and explorers. The majority of Enerflex's customers generate cash flow from crude oil and natural gas production. They in-turn base their capital expenditure decisions on various factors, including, but not limited to, hydrocarbon prices, exploration and development prospects in various jurisdictions, production levels of their reserves and access to capital - none of which can be accurately predicted. Periods of prolonged or substantial reductions in commodity prices may lead to reduced levels of exploration and production activities, which may negatively impact the demand for the products and services that Enerflex offers, which may have a material adverse effect on the Enerflex results of operations and financial condition, including Enerflex's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.
Inflationary Pressures
Strong economic conditions and competition for available personnel, materials and major components may result in significant increases in the cost of obtaining such resources. To the greatest extent possible, Enerflex passes such cost increases on to its customers and it attempts to reduce these pressures through proactive procurement and human resource practices. Should these efforts not be successful, the gross margin and profitability of Enerflex could be adversely affected.
The Cyclical Nature of the Energy Industry
Changing political, economic or military circumstances throughout the energy producing regions of the world can impact the market price of oil for extended periods of time, which in turn impacts the price of natural gas, as industrial users often have the ability to choose to use the lower priced energy source.
Climatic Factors and Seasonal Demand
Demand for natural gas fluctuates largely with the heating and electrical generation requirements caused by the changing seasons in North America. Cold winters typically increase demand for, and the price of, natural gas. This increases customers' cash flow which can then have a positive impact on Enerflex. At the same time, access to many western Canadian oil and gas properties is limited to the period when the ground is frozen so that heavy equipment can be transported. As a result, the first quarter of the year is generally accompanied by increased winter deliveries of equipment. Warm winters in western Canada, however, can both reduce demand for natural gas and make it difficult for producers to reach well locations. This restricts drilling and development operations, reduces the ability to supply gas production in the short term and can negatively impact the demand for Enerflex's products and services.
Hedging Activities
Enerflex reports its financial results to the public in Canadian dollars, however a significant percentage of its revenues and expenses are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As a result, Enerflex has implemented a hedging policy, applicable primarily to the Canadian domiciled business units, with the objective of securing the margins earned on awarded contracts denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. In addition, Enerflex may hedge input costs that are paid in a currency other than the home currency of the subsidiary executing the contract. Enerflex utilizes a combination of foreign denominated debt and currency forward contracts to meet its hedging objective. Under GAAP, derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are subject to marked-to-market at the end of each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period net earnings. Enerflex does apply hedge accounting to the majority of its forward contracts, as such, the gains or losses on the forward contracts are deferred to the balance sheet. However, there can be no assurance that Enerflex will choose to or qualify for hedge accounting in the future, as such, the use of currency forwards may introduce significant volatility into Enerflex's reported earnings.
Foreign Operations
Enerflex sells products and services throughout the world. This diversification exposes Enerflex to risks related to cultural, political and economic factors of foreign jurisdictions which are beyond the control of Enerflex. Other issues, such as the quality of receivables, may also arise.
Distribution Agreements
One of Enerflex's strategic assets is its distribution and original equipment manufacturer agreements with leading manufacturers, notably the Waukesha Engine division of General Electric for engines and parts. Enerflex is also the international distributor for Altronic, a leading manufacturer of electric ignition and control systems in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Canada. Enerflex also has relationships and agreements with other key equipment manufacturers including Finning (Caterpillar) and Ariel Corporation.
In the event that one or more of these agreements were to be terminated, Enerflex may lose a competitive advantage. While Enerflex and its people make it a priority to maintain and enhance these strategic relationships, there can be no assurance that these relationships will continue.
Competition
Enerflex has a number of competitors in all aspects of its business, both domestically and abroad. Some of these competitors, particularly in the Engineered Systems product line, are large, multi-national companies with potentially greater access to resources and more experience in international operations than Enerflex. Within Canada, particularly in the Service product line, Enerflex has a number of small to medium-sized competitors, who may not have access to the capital and resources that Enerflex has, but may also incur lower overhead costs than Enerflex.
Availability of Raw Materials, Component Parts or Finished Products
Enerflex purchases a broad range of materials and components in connection with its manufacturing and service activities. Enerflex purchases most of its natural gas engines and parts either through a distributor or an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Waukesha Engine, a division of General Electric, and through an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Finning (Caterpillar). Enerflex purchases most of its compressors and related parts through a distributor agreement with Ariel Corporation. Enerflex has had long standing relationships with these companies. Additionally, Enerflex has relationships with a number of other suppliers including Kobelco Compressors (America) Inc. and Mycom Group Inc. The availability of the component parts and the delivery schedules provided by these suppliers affect the assembly schedules of Enerflex's production and services.
Enerflex purchases coolers for its compression packages from a limited number of suppliers. The production schedules and delivery time tables from these suppliers affects the assembly schedule of Enerflex's products.
Though Enerflex is generally not dependent on any single source of supply, the ability of suppliers to meet performance, quality specifications and delivery schedules is important to the maintenance of customer satisfaction.
A challenge to achieving improved profitability will be the timely availability of certain original equipment manufacturer components and repair parts, which will generally be in steady demand.
Information Technology
As Enerflex continues to expand internationally, access to engineering and other technical skills in foreign locations, develop web-based applications and monitoring products, and improve its business software applications, information technology assets and protocols will become increasingly important to Enerflex. Enerflex has attempted to reduce this exposure by improving its information technology general controls, updating or implementing new business applications and hiring or training specific employees with respect to the protection and use of information technology assets.
Environmental Considerations
Demand for the Company's products and services could be adversely affected by changes to Canadian, U.S. or other countries' laws or regulations pertaining to the emission of CO2 and other Green House Gases ("GHGs") into the atmosphere. Although the Company is not a large producer of GHGs, the products and services of the Company are primarily related to the production of hydrocarbons including crude oil and natural gas, whose ultimate consumption are generally considered major sources of GHG emissions. Changes in the regulations concerning the release of GHG into the atmosphere, including the introduction of so-called "carbon taxes" or limitations over the emissions of GHGs, may adversely impact the demand for hydrocarbons and ultimately, the demand for the Company's products and services.
Insurance
Enerflex carries insurance to protect the Company in the event of destruction or damage to its property and equipment, subject to appropriate deductibles and the availability of coverage. Liability and executive insurance coverage is also maintained at prudent levels to limit exposure to unforeseen incidents. An annual review of insurance coverage is completed to assess the risk of loss and risk mitigation alternatives. Extreme weather conditions, natural occurrences and terrorist activity have strained insurance markets leading to substantial increases in insurance costs and limitations on coverage.
It is anticipated that insurance coverage will be maintained in the future, but there can be no assurance that such insurance coverage will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms or be available on terms as favourable as Enerflex's current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant event outside of the coverage of Enerflex's insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on the results of the organization.
Credit Facility and Senior Notes
Enerflex relies on the Credit Facility and Senior Notes to meet its funding and liquidity requirements. The Senior Notes are due on two separate dates with $50.5 million, at a fixed interest rate of 4.841%, due on June 20, 2016 and $40.0 million, at a fixed interest rate of 6.011%, due on June 20, 2021. The Credit Facility is due on June 1, 2015 and may be renewed annually with the consent of the lenders. If the Company cannot successfully re-negotiate all or part of the Credit Facility prior to its due date, the cash available for dividends to shareholders and to fund ongoing operations could be adversely affected.
The Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement also contain a number of covenants. Failure to meet any of these covenants, financial ratios or financial tests could result in events of default under each agreement. While Enerflex is currently in compliance with all covenants, financial ratios and financial tests, there can be no assurance that it will be able to comply with these covenants, financial ratios and financial tests in future periods. These events could restrict the Company's and other guarantors' ability to declare and pay dividends.
Government Regulation
The Company is subject to health, safety and environmental laws and regulations that expose it to potential financial liability. The Company's operations are regulated under a number of federal, provincial, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, which govern, among other things, the discharge of hazardous materials into the air and water as well as the handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials. Compliance with these environmental laws is a major consideration in the manufacturing of the Company's products, as the Company uses, generates, stores and disposes of hazardous substances and wastes in its operations. The Company may be subject to material financial liability for any investigation and clean-up of such hazardous materials. In addition, many of the Company's current and former properties are, or have been, used for industrial purposes. Accordingly, the Company also may be subject to financial liabilities relating to the investigation and remediation of hazardous materials resulting from the actions of previous owners or operators of industrial facilities on those sites. Liability in certain instances may be imposed on the Company regardless of the legality of the original actions relating to the hazardous or toxic substances or whether or not the Company knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of those substances. The Company is also subject to various Canadian and U.S. federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations, as well as foreign laws and regulations relating to safety and health conditions in its manufacturing facilities. Those laws and regulations may also subject the Company to material financial penalties or liabilities for any noncompliance, as well as potential business disruption if any of its facilities or a portion of any facility is required to be temporarily closed as a result of any violation of those laws and regulations. Any such financial liability or business disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's projections, business, results of operations and financial condition.
Liability Claims
The Company could be subject to substantial liability claims, which could adversely affect its projections, business, results of operations and financial condition. Some of the Company's products are used in hazardous applications where an accident or a failure of a product could cause personal injury, loss of life, damage to property, equipment, or the environment, as well as the suspension of the end-user's operations. If the Company's products were to be involved in any of these difficulties, the Company could face litigation and may be held liable for those losses. The Company's insurance coverage may not be adequate in risk coverage or policy limits to cover all losses or liabilities that it may incur. Moreover, the Company may not be able in the future to maintain insurance at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that management deems adequate. Any claims made under the Company's policies likely will cause its premiums to increase. Any future damages deemed to be caused by the Company's products or services that are not covered by insurance, or that are in excess of policy limits or subject to substantial deductibles, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's projections, business, results of operations and financial condition.
Tax Indemnity Agreement
The Company could be exposed to substantial tax liabilities if certain requirements of the "butterfly" rules in section 55 of the Income Tax Act are not complied with. Failure to comply with these requirements could also cause the spinoff to be taxable to Toromont in circumstances where the Company would be required to indemnify Toromont for the resulting tax.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Enerflex mitigates the impact of exchange rate fluctuations by matching expected future U.S. dollar denominated cash inflows with U.S. dollar liabilities, principally through the use of foreign exchange contracts, bank debt, accounts payable and by manufacturing U.S. dollar denominated contracts at plants located in the U.S. The Company has adopted U.S. based manufacturing plants and foreign exchange forward contracts as its primary mitigation strategy to hedge any net foreign currency exposure. Forward contracts are entered into for the amount of the net foreign dollar exposure for a term matching the expected payment terms outlined in the sales contract.
The Company elected to apply hedge accounting for foreign exchange forward contracts for firm commitments, which are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, fair value changes of the effective portion of the hedging instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The ineffective portion of the fair value changes is recognized in net income. Amounts charged to accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects the income statement.
Outstanding forward contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each period with any gain or loss on the forward contract included in accumulated other comprehensive income until such time as the forward contract is settled, when it flows to income.
Enerflex does not hedge its exposure to investments in foreign subsidiaries. Exchange gains and losses on net investments in foreign subsidiaries are accumulated in accumulated comprehensive income/loss. The accumulated comprehensive loss at the end of 2010 of $10.8 million was adjusted to an accumulated comprehensive loss of $0.6 million at December 31, 2011. This was primarily the result of the changes in the value of the Canadian dollar against the Euro, Australian dollar and U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar appreciated by 2% against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2011 versus an appreciation of 4% against the U.S. dollar during the same period of 2010. The Australian dollar appreciated by 3% against the Canadian dollar during the fourth quarter of 2011, consistent with a 3% appreciation in the same period of 2010. The Euro depreciated against the Canadian dollar by 6% during the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to an appreciation of 5% in the same period of 2010.
The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company's related risk management strategies are as follows:
Transaction exposure
The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company mitigates exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency contracts to fix the cost of imported inventory where appropriate.
The Company also sells compression packages in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar and the Euro and enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce these exchange rate risks.
Most of Enerflex's international orders are manufactured in the U.S. operations if the contract is denominated in U.S. dollars. This minimizes the Company's foreign currency exposure on these contracts.
The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks.
Translation exposure
The Company's earnings from, and net investment in, foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The currencies with the most significant impact are the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar and the Euro.
Assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative currency translation adjustments are recognized in income when there has been a reduction in the net investment in the foreign operations.
Earnings at foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to these other currencies will impact reported net income. Such exchange rate fluctuations have historically not been material year-over-year relative to the overall earnings or financial position of the Company.
Interest rate risk
The Company's liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 include interest rates that are fixed and therefore will not be impacted by fluctuations in market interest rates. The Company's Bank Facilities however, are subject to changes in market interest rates. For each 1.0% change in the rate of interest on the Bank Facilities, the change in interest expense would be approximately $1.2 million. All interest charges are recorded on the income statement as a separate line item called Finance Costs.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.
Cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such as money market deposits. The Company has deposited the cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
The Company has accounts receivable from clients engaged in various industries including natural gas producers, natural gas transportation, agricultural, chemical and petrochemical processing and the generation and sale of electricity. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Enerflex has entered into a number of significant projects through to 2013 with one specific customer, however no single operating unit is reliant on any single external customer.
The credit risk associated with net investment in sales-type lease arises from the possibility that the counterparty may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into sales-type lease transactions only in select circumstances. Close contact is maintained with the customer over the duration of the lease to ensure visibility to issues as and if they arise.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly-rated financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Accounts payable are primarily due within 90 days and will be satisfied from current working capital.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
On February 1, 2012, Enerflex had 77,412,981 shares outstanding. Enerflex has not established a formal dividend policy and the Board of Directors anticipates setting the quarterly dividends based on the availability of cash flow and anticipated market conditions, taking into consideration business opportunities and the need for growth capital. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share.
The Company has a series of credit facilities with a syndicate of banks ("Bank Facilities") totaling $325.0 million. The Bank Facilities consist of a committed 4-year $270.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), a committed 4-year $10.0 million operating facility (the "Operator"), a committed 4-year $20.0 million Australian operating facility (the "Australian Operator") and a committed 4-year $25.0 million bi-lateral letter of credit facility (the "LC Bi-Lateral"). The Revolver, Operator, Australian Operator and LC Bi-Lateral are collectively referred to as the Bank Facilities. The Bank Facilities were funded on June 1, 2011.
The Bank Facilities have a maturity date of June 1, 2015 ("Maturity Date"), but may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. In addition, the Bank Facilities may be increased by $50.0 million at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders' consent. There is no required or scheduled repayment of principal until the Maturity Date of the Bank Facilities.
Drawings on the Bank Facilities are available by way of Prime Rate loans ("Prime"), U.S. Base Rate loans, LIBOR loans, and Bankers' Acceptance ("BA") notes. The Company may also draw on the Bank Facilities through bank overdrafts in either Canadian or U.S. dollars and issue letters of credit under the Bank Facilities.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bank Facilities, a margin is applied to drawings on the Bank Facilities in addition to the quoted interest rate. The margin is established in basis points and is based on consolidated net debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio. The margin is adjusted effective the first day of the third month following the end of each fiscal quarter based on the above ratio.
The Company also has a committed facility with one of the lenders in the Bank Facilities for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Bi-Lateral"). The amount available under the Bi-Lateral is $50.0 million and has a maturity date of June 1, 2013, which may be extended annually with the consent of the lender. Drawings on the Bi-Lateral are by way of letters of credit.
In addition, the Company has a committed facility with a U.S. lender ("U.S. Facility") in the amount of $20.0 million USD. Drawings on the U.S. Facility are by way of LIBOR loans, U.S. Base Rate Loans and letters of credit. During the year, the Company negotiated an extension of the U.S. Facility to July 1, 2014. The U.S. Facility may be extended annually at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders consent. There are no required or scheduled repayments of principal until the maturity date of the U.S. Facility.
The Company completed the restructuring of its debt with the closing of a private placement for $90.5 million in Unsecured Private Placement Notes ("Notes") during the second quarter of 2011. The Notes mature on two separate dates with $50.5 million, with a coupon of 4.841%, maturing on June 22, 2016 and $40.0 million, with a coupon of 6.011%, maturing on June 22, 2021.
The Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral and the U.S. Facility are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on the Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral, the U.S. Facility and the Notes. As at December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had $31.3 million drawn against the Bank Facilities. The Bank Facilities were not available at December 31, 2010, as the Company's borrowings consisted of a Note Payable to its parent company.

RELATED PARTIES
Enerflex transacts with certain related parties as a normal course of business. Related parties include Toromont which owned 100% of Enerflex until June 1, 2011, and Total Production Services Inc. ("Total") which was an influenced investee by virtue of the Company's 40% investment in Total. As described in the financial statements, the Company has two joint ventures, PDIL and Enerflex-ES. Due to the fact that Enerflex-ES was incorporated in Q4 2011, there are no related party transactions or balances to report.
All transactions occurring with related parties were in the normal course of business operations under the same terms and conditions as transactions with unrelated companies. A summary of the financial statement impacts of all transactions with all related parties are as follows:
Years ended December 31, 2011 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $ 212 $ 20 Management fees 4,299 7,920 Purchases 526 1,279 Interest expense 1,902 5,484 Accounts receivable 44 61 Accounts payable - 3,692 Note payable - 215,000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above noted management fee expense and interest expense have all been paid to Toromont; there are no related party payables from Toromont as at December 31, 2011. The note payable to Toromont was non-interest bearing and did not have fixed terms of repayment.
Revenues recognized and purchases identified above for 2011 and 2010 were from Total and PDIL. The accounts receivable balances outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were from the joint venture.
All related party transactions are settled in cash.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
As disclosed in Note 4, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 1, "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Previously, the Company prepared its interim and annual financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 include the results for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which were prepared on a carve-out basis, and the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, which were prepared on a carve-out basis for the first five months of 2011 and consolidated basis as at December 31, 2011.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are categorized as assets held for sale where the asset or disposal group is available for sale in its present condition, and the sale is highly probable. For this purpose, a sale is highly probable if management is committed to a plan to achieve the sale; there is an active program to find a buyer; the non-current asset or disposal group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price; the sale is anticipated to be completed within one year from the date of classification, and, it is unlikely there will be changes to the plan. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are carried at the lesser of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The profit or loss arising on reclassification or sale of a disposal group is recognized in discontinued operations on the statement of earnings.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition - Long-Term Contracts
The Company reflects revenues generated from the assembly and manufacture of projects using the percentage-of-completion approach of accounting for performance of production-type contracts. This approach to revenue recognition requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding the expected profitability of the contract, the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues recognized in a given period.
Provisions for Warranty
Provisions set aside for warranty exposures either relate to amounts provided systematically based on historical experience under contractual warranty obligations or specific provisions created in respect of individual customer issues undergoing commercial resolution and negotiation. Amounts set aside represent management's best estimate of the likely settlement and the timing of any resolution with the relevant customer.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, including asset impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are reviewed on an annual basis. Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets requires judgment and is based on currently available information. Fixed assets are also reviewed for potential impairment on a regular basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances and changes to business strategy can result in actual useful lives and future cash flows differing significantly from estimates. The assumptions used, including rates and methodologies, are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to be appropriate. Revisions to the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or future cash flows constitute a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer probable under the terms of the original invoice. Impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. Amounts estimated represent management's best estimate of probability of collection of amounts from customers.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company tests whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the operating segment to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the recoverable amount requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from each operating segment and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Income Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company's domicile.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Company's accounting policy related to assets held for sale is described in Note 3. In applying this policy, judgment is applied in determining whether certain assets should be reclassified to assets held for sale on the consolidated statement of financial position. Judgment is also applied in determining whether the results of operations associated with the assets should be recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company will reclassify the results of operations associated with certain assets to discontinued operations where the asset represents part of a disposal group or segment.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective and determined that the following may have an impact on the Company:
As of January 1, 2013, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. Starting January 1, 2015, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is the result of the first phase of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard replaces the current multiple classification and measurement models for financial assets and liabilities with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9, if any.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Standard identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 10, if any.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 uses some of the terms that were originally used by IAS 31, but with different meanings. This Standard addresses two forms of joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) where there is joint control. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 11, if any.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 12, if any.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement provides new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for IFRS. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 13, if any.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income has been amended to require entities to split items of other comprehensive income (OCI) between those that are reclassed to income and those that are not. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IAS 1 amendment, if any.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
IFRS 1 replaced Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("Canadian GAAP") for publicly accountable enterprises for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, Enerflex has adopted IFRS effective January 1, 2011 and has prepared the interim and annual financial statements, inclusive of comparative information using IFRS accounting policies. Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 are the first annual financial statements that comply with IFRS.
Transitional Impacts
IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards provides entities adopting IFRS for the first time with a number of optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions in certain areas to the general requirement for full retrospective adoption of IFRS. Most adjustments required on transition to IFRS are made retrospectively against opening retained earnings as of the date of the first comparative statement of financial position presented, which is January 1, 2010.
The following are the key transitional provisions which have been adopted on January 1, 2010 and which had an impact on the Company's financial position on transition.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information used internally by management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Company's Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and approved this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that management fulfills its responsibilities in the financial control of operations, including disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR").
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as at December 31, 2011, using the internal control integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as at December 31, 2011, to provide reasonable assurance that a) material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would have been known to them and by others within those entities, and b) information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. They have also concluded that the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting were adequate and effective as at December 31, 2011, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.
There have been no significant changes in the design of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
While the Officers of the Company have designed the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, they expect that these controls and procedures may not prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on April 4, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 12, 2012.
OUTLOOK FOR MARKETS
The global economy continues its fragile recovery from the recent recession. Enerflex entered 2011 with significantly stronger backlog than the prior year. Bookings during the twelve months of 2011, including the large International contract in the Sultanate of Oman received during the fourth quarter of 2011, has resulted in backlog for Engineered Systems of approximately $1.0 billion.
The Canada and Northern U.S. region benefited from improved bookings and backlog during 2011 as a result of increased activity in Canada's unconventional gas basins in the Montney and the Horn River. These unconventional gas basins require higher horsepower compression and more gas processing equipment in comparison to conventional gas basins. Enerflex is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in this area for both equipment supply and mechanical services as many of our customers increased activities in 2011. Natural gas prices have fallen below $3.00/ mcf to begin 2012 and North America has experienced a very mild winter, which has increased storage levels above the five year average. This has created uncertainty for producers and capital spending could be reduced for natural gas exploration in this region during 2012.
The Southern U.S. and South America region also experienced improved bookings and backlog during the twelve months of 2011. Increased activity in liquid rich U.S. gas basins has driven new orders for compression equipment for this region. These liquid rich resource basins can achieve superior returns for producers despite low natural gas prices due to the higher value that could be realized for the natural gas liquids. In addition, the requirement for gas compression and gas processing equipment for liquid rich resource basins like the Eagle Ford and parts of the Marcellus has increased bookings in this region. It is highly probable that the low natural gas price will impact dry gas production in the U.S. during 2012, with some producers already announcing reduced production resulting from shutting in gas wells. Enerflex's U.S. business is heavily weighted to activity in liquid rich resource basins and as long as frac spread ratios (the differential between oil prices and natural gas prices) remain high, the Company expects activity levels to remain strong in this region. However, there is still uncertainty in this market resulting from historically high storage levels and the potential impact on capital spending and activity levels for our customers during 2012 remains uncertain.
The International region continues to hold considerable long-term opportunity and has benefited from strong bookings and backlog during the twelve months of 2011. Activity in these regions is being driven by increased activity in Australia's natural gas industry. There are numerous Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") projects in early stages of development. LNG projects of Queensland Gas and Santos have received final investment decisions and orders for equipment have already been placed with Enerflex.
In the Middle East and North Africa, Enerflex has taken a targeted approach to mitigate exposure to political unrest. The Company's primary areas of focus have been Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Enerflex has achieved commercial operations of the on-shore gas compression facility for BP in Oman and during the fourth quarter of 2011, has received an award for a USD $228.0 million gas processing plant in the region. Domestic demand for gas in this region remains strong and we are well positioned to compete for future projects in Oman and Bahrain for compression, processing equipment and after market service support.
In Europe, the traditional customers have been small greenhouse operators, which were significantly impacted by the financial crisis and economic downturn. In addition, they have come under commercial pressure from overseas competitors. This fact coupled with General Electric's decision to realign distribution territories in this region has resulted in Enerflex's decision to exit the CHP and Service business in Europe. Enerflex will continue to pursue opportunities for Compression and Processing equipment in this region through it sales office in the United Kingdom and the Company's joint venture in Russia. Unconventional gas basins are in the early stages of development in Poland, while Russia is home to the largest recoverable natural gas reserves in the world. We are well positioned to compete for these opportunities once some of these projects receive final investment decisions.

Note 1. Nature and Description of the Company
Enerflex Ltd. ("Enerflex" or "the Company") was formed subsequent to the acquisition of Enerflex Systems Income Fund ("ESIF") by Toromont Industries Ltd. ("Toromont") and subsequent integration of Enerflex's products and services with Toromont's existing Natural Gas Compression and Processing business. In January 2010, the operations of Toromont Energy Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Toromont, were combined with the operations of ESIF to form Enerflex Ltd. The common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "EFX".
Headquartered in Calgary, the registered office is located at 904, 1331 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, Canada. Enerflex has approximately 2,900 employees worldwide. Enerflex, its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint-ventures operate in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Bahrain and Indonesia.
These consolidated financial statements include the legacy natural gas and process compression business (Toromont Energy Systems, subsequently renamed Enerflex Ltd.) and the acquired business of ESIF ('the Business") from the date of acquisition, January 20, 2010.
Note 2. Background and Basis of Presentation
On May 16th, 2011 Toromont Shareholders approved the Plan of Arrangement ("the Arrangement") that would establish Enerflex as a stand-alone publicly traded company listed on the TSX. In connection with the Arrangement, Toromont common shareholders received one share of Enerflex for each common share of Toromont, creating two independent public companies - Toromont Industries Ltd. and Enerflex Ltd.
Enerflex began independent operations on June 1, 2011 pursuant to the Arrangement with Toromont. Enerflex's shares began trading on the TSX on June 3, 2011.
In the second quarter of 2011, Enerflex entered into a transitional services agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which it is expected that, on an interim basis, Toromont would provide consulting services and other assistance with respect to information technology of Enerflex which, from time to time, were reasonably requested by Enerflex in order to assist in its transition to a public company, independent from Toromont. Unless terminated earlier, the Agreement will expire on June 1, 2012. The Agreement reflects terms negotiated in anticipation of each company being a stand-alone public company, each with independent directors and management teams.
Accordingly, until the completion of the Arrangement, Toromont and Enerflex were considered related parties due to the parent - subsidiary relationship that existed. Subsequent to June 1, 2011, Toromont was no longer considered a related party.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements represent the first annual financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1, "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards".
(b) Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business transferred to Enerflex on a carve-out basis up to May 31, 2011.
The historical financial statements have been derived from the accounting system of Toromont using the historical results of operations and historical bases of assets and liabilities of the Business transferred to Enerflex on a carve-out accounting basis.
As the Company operated as a subsidiary of Toromont up to May 31, 2011 and was a stand-alone entity effective June 1, 2011, certain current period and historical financial information include an allocation of certain Toromont corporate expenses up to the date of the Arrangement.
The carve-out operating results of Enerflex were specifically identified based on Toromont's divisional organization. Certain other expenses presented in the consolidated financial statements represent allocations and estimates of services incurred by Toromont.
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest thousand and are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention with certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in all material respects. Standards and guidelines not effective for the current accounting period are described in Note 4.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 16, 2012.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
(d) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
-- Revenue Recognition - Long-term Contracts
The Company reflects revenues generated from the assembly and manufacture of projects using the percentage-of-completion approach of accounting for performance of production-type contracts. This approach to revenue recognition requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding the expected profitability of the contract, the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues recognized in a given period.
-- Provisions for Warranty
Provisions set aside for warranty exposures either relate to amounts provided systematically based on historical experience under contractual warranty obligations or specific provisions created in respect of individual customer issues undergoing commercial resolution and negotiation. Amounts set aside represent management's best estimate of the likely settlement and the timing of any resolution with the relevant customer.
-- Property, Plant and Equipment
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, including any asset impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are reviewed on an annual basis. Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets requires judgment and is based on currently available information. Fixed assets are also reviewed for potential impairment on a regular basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances and changes to business strategy can result in actual useful lives and future cash flows differing significantly from estimates. The assumptions used, including rates and methodologies, are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to be appropriate. Revisions to the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or future cash flows constitute a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.
-- Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer probable under the terms of the original invoice. Impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. Amounts estimated represent management's best estimate of probability of collection of amounts from customers.
-- Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit ("CGU") exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value-in-use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model.
-- Impairment of Goodwill
The Company tests whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the groups of cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from each group of cash-generating units and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
-- Income Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company's domicile.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
-- Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Company's accounting policy related to assets held for sale is described in Note (i). In applying this policy, judgment is used in determining whether certain assets should be reclassified to assets held for sale on the consolidated statements of financial position. Judgment is also applied in determining whether the results of operations associated with the assets should be recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of earnings.
(e) Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in selling and administrative expenses.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to the group of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
(f) Investment in Associates
The Company uses the equity method to account for its 40% investment in Total Production Services Inc., an investment subject to significant influence.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried on the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets of the associate.
The statement of earnings (loss) reflects the Company's share of the results of operations of the associate. When there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
The Company's share of profit of an associate is shown on the face of the statement of earnings (loss). This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate and, therefore, is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on its investment in its associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the 'share of profit of an associate' in the statement of earnings (loss).
(g) Interests in Joint Ventures
The Company proportionately consolidates its 50% interest in the Presson-Descon International (Private) Limited ("PDIL") joint venture and its 51% interest in the Enerflex-ES joint venture. This involves recognizing its proportionate share of the joint venture's assets, liabilities, income and expenses with similar items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis.
(h) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. In the accounts of individual subsidiaries, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency are recorded at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. At year end, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the period end date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rates of exchange at the date the fair value was determined. All foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the statement of earnings (loss) with the exception of exchange differences arising on monetary assets and liabilities that form part of the Company's net investment in subsidiaries. These are taken directly to other comprehensive income until the disposal of the foreign subsidiary at which time the unrealized gain or loss is recognized in the statement of earnings (loss).
The statements of financial position of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures are translated into Canadian dollars using the closing rate method, whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the period end date. The statements of earnings (loss) of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the translation of net assets are taken to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
On the disposal of a foreign entity, accumulated exchange differences are recognized in the statement of earnings as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.
(i) Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are categorized as assets held for sale where the asset or disposal group is available for sale in its present condition, and the sale is highly probable. For this purpose, a sale is highly probable if management is committed to a plan to achieve the sale; there is an active program to find a buyer; the non-current asset or disposal group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price; the sale is anticipated to be completed within one year from the date of classification, and; it is unlikely there will be changes to the plan. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal group are carried at the lesser of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The profit or loss arising on reclassification or sale of a disposal group is recognized in discontinued operations on the statement of earnings.
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Cost comprises the purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets:
Asset Class Estimated useful life range ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buildings 5 to 20 years Equipment 3 to 20 years
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized when they are expected to provide future economic benefit. When significant components of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognizes the replaced part, and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciation. No depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.
Each asset's estimated useful life, residual value and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end.
(k) Rental Equipment
Rental equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally between 5 and 15 years.
When, under the terms of a rental contract, the Company is responsible for maintenance and overhauls, the actual overhaul cost is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the overhaul, generally between 2 and 5 years.
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized when they are expected to provide future economic benefit. No depreciation is provided on assets under construction. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Each asset's estimated useful life, residual value and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end.
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized to non-controlling interest ("NCI") over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of earnings (loss). Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or when there is an indication that a related group of cash generating units may be impaired.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each group to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than an operating segment, determined in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating units and related goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
(m) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost being their fair value at the date of acquisition and are recognized separately from goodwill if the asset is separable or arises from a contractual or other legal right and its fair value can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over management's best estimate of their expected useful life. The amortization charge in respect of intangible assets is included in selling, general and administrative expense line in the statement of earnings. The expected useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis. Any change in the useful life or pattern of consumption of the intangible asset is treated as a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization period or method. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Asset Estimated useful life range ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer relationships 5 years Software and other less than 1 year - 5 years
(n) Impairment of Assets (excluding goodwill)
At each statement of financial position date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets with finite lives to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. In assessing its value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 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. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of earnings (loss).
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the original carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of earnings (loss).
(o) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of equipment, repair and distribution parts and direct materials include purchase cost and costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Serialized inventory is determined on a specific item basis. Non-serialized inventory is determined based on a weighted average cost.
Cost of work-in-process includes cost of direct materials, labour and an allocation of manufacturing overheads, excluding borrowing costs, based on normal operating capacity.
Cost of inventories include the transfer from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges in respect of the purchase of inventory.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining selling prices. Inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. When circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in selling prices, the amount of the write down previously recorded is reversed.
(p) Construction work in progress
Construction work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognized to date less progress billings and recognized losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in contract activities based on normal operating capacity.
Construction work in progress is presented as part of trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position for all contracts in which costs incurred plus recognized profits exceed progress billings. If progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profits, then the difference is presented as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position.
(q) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any amounts estimated to be uncollectible. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer probable under the terms of the original invoice. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.
(r) Cash
Cash includes cash and cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(s) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized in the statement of earnings as a finance cost.
(t) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(u) Employee Future Benefits
The Company sponsors various defined contribution pension plans, which cover substantially all employees and are funded in accordance with applicable plan and regulatory requirements. Regular contributions are made by the Company to the employees' individual accounts, which are administered by a plan trustee, in accordance with the plan document. The actual cost of providing benefits through defined contribution pension plans is charged to income in the period in respect of which contributions become payable.
(v) Share-Based Payments
The Company issued share-based awards to certain employees and non-employee directors. The cost of equity-settled share-based transactions is determined as the fair value of the options on grant date using a fair value based model. Stock options have a seven-year expiry, vest 20% cumulatively on each anniversary date of the grant and are exercisable at the designated common share price, which is determined by the average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The Company also offers a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan for executives and non-employee directors, whereby they may elect on an annual basis to receive all or a portion of their annual bonus, or retainer and fees, respectively, in deferred share units. The holder of the DSUs receives a payment from the Company equal to the implied market value calculated as the number of DSUs multiplied by the closing price of Enerflex shares on the entitlement date. The DSUs vest upon being credited to the executive or non-employee director's account.
For certain directors and key employees of affiliates located in Australia and the United Arab Emirates ("UAE"), the Company utilizes a Phantom Share Rights Plan (Share Appreciation Right) ("SAR"). The exercise price of each SAR equals the average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. The SARs vest at a rate of one fifth on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of the grant and expire on the fifth anniversary. The award entitlements for increases in the share trading value of the Company are to be paid to the recipient in cash upon exercise.
(w) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risk of ownership of the asset to the lessee are classified as finance leases; all other leases are classified as operating leases. Classification is re-assessed if the terms of the lease are changed.
The Company has entered into various operating leases, the payments for which are recognized as an expense in the statement of earnings on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
-- Company as a Lessor:
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Amounts due from leases under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment outstanding in respect of leases.
-- Company as a Lessee:
Assets held under finance lease are initially recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company's general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognized as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognized as a reduction of the rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(x) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts, rebates, sales taxes and duties. In addition to this general policy, the following describes the specific revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue:
-- Revenues from the supply of equipment systems involving design,
manufacture, installation and start-up are recorded based on the stage
of completion, where the stage of completion measured by reference to
costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs of the
project. Any foreseeable losses on such projects are charged to
operations when determined.
-- Revenues from equipment rentals are recognized in accordance with the
terms of the relevant agreement with the customer on a straight-line
basis over the term of the agreement. Certain rental contracts contain
an option for the customer to purchase the equipment at the end of the
rental period. Should the customer exercise this option to purchase,
revenue from the sale of the equipment is recognized directly to the
statement of earnings (loss).
-- Product support services include sales of parts and servicing of
equipment. For the sale of parts, revenues are recognized when the part
is shipped to the customer. For servicing of equipment, revenues are
recognized on a straight-line basis determined based on performance of
the contracted upon service.
-- Revenues from long-term service contracts are recognized on a stage of
completion basis proportionate to the service work that has been
performed based on parts and labour service provided. At the completion
of the contract, any remaining profit on the contract is recognized as
revenue. Any foreseeable losses on such projects are charged to
operations when determined.
(y) Financial Instruments
The Company classifies all financial instruments into one of the following categories: financial assets at 'fair value through profit or loss' ("FVTPL"), loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, assets available for sale, financial liabilities at FVTPL, other financial liabilities or assets/liabilities held for trading. Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition. The subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
Financial Assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in the hedge relationship as defined by IAS 39. Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in finance income or finance costs in the statement of earnings (loss).
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.
Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial investments
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of earnings (loss).
The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
-- Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient
frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
-- Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from 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).
-- Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the
asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs). In these instances, internally developed
methodologies are used to determine fair value.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability and may affect placement within.
The Company has made the following classifications:
-- Cash and cash equivalents are classified as assets held for trading and
are measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the periodic
revaluation are recorded in net income.
-- Accounts receivable is classified as loans and receivables and is
recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
-- Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, long-term debt and note payable
to Toromont are classified as other financial liabilities. Subsequent
measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate method.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial instruments classified or designated as fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs for financial assets classified as available for sale are added to the value of the instrument at acquisition. Transaction costs related to other financial liabilities are added to the value of the instrument at acquisition and taken into net income using the effective interest rate method.
(z) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments, including certain embedded derivatives, are measured at their fair value upon initial recognition and on each subsequent reporting date. The fair value of quoted derivatives is equal to their positive or negative market value. If a market value is not available, the fair value is calculated using standard financial valuation models, such as discounted cash flow or option pricing models. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The Company elected to apply hedge accounting for foreign exchange forward contracts for anticipated transactions. These are also designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, fair value changes of the effective portion of the hedging instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The ineffective portion of the fair value changes is recognized in net income. Amounts charged to accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statement of earnings when the hedged transaction affects the statement of earnings.
All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an on-going basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.
(aa) Income Taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to the taxation authorities. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of earnings because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated by using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred income tax is recognized on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with the following exceptions:
-- Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of
goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
-- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments
in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future; and
-- Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is
probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits or tax
losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Current and deferred income tax is charged or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity in the same period. Otherwise, income tax is recognized in the statement of earnings except in some circumstances related to business combinations.
(bb) Discontinued Operations
The results of discontinued operations are presented net of tax on a one-line basis in the statement of earnings. Direct corporate overheads and income taxes are allocated to discontinued operations. Interest expense (income) and general corporate overheads are not allocated to discontinued operations.
(cc) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net earnings for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
(dd) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
(ee) Finance Income and Expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
Note 4. Changes in Accounting Policies
(a) First-Time Adoption of IFRS
These are the Company's first annual financial statements prepared under IFRS. IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards provides entities adopting IFRS for the first time with a number of optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions in certain areas to the general requirement for full retrospective adoption of IFRS. Most adjustments required on transition to IFRS are made retrospectively against opening retained earnings as of the date of the first comparative statement of financial position presented, which is January 1, 2010.
The following is a summary of the key transitional provisions that were adopted on January 1, 2010. The impact of transition to IFRS is presented in Note 33.

(b) Future Accounting Changes
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective and determined that the following may have an impact on the Company:
As of January 1, 2013, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. Starting January 1, 2015, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is the result of the first phase of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard replaces the current multiple classification and measurement models for financial assets and liabilities with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9, if any.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Standard identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 10, if any.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 uses some of the terms that were originally used by IAS 31, but with different meanings. This Standard addresses two forms of joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) where there is joint control. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 11, if any.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 12, if any.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement provides new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for IFRS. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 13, if any.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income has been amended to require entities to split items of other comprehensive income ("OCI") between those that are reclassed to income and those that are not. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this amendment, if any.
Note 5. Business Acquisition
No businesses were acquired in 2011.
On January 20, 2010, Toromont completed its offer for the units of ESIF ("the Offer").
Toromont paid approximately $315.5 million in cash and issued approximately 11.9 million of Toromont common shares to complete the acquisition. For accounting purposes, the cost of Toromont's common shares issued in the Acquisition was calculated based on the average share price traded on the TSX on the relevant dates.
Prior to the acquisition, Toromont owned 3,902,100 Trust Units which were purchased with cash of $37.8 million ($9.69 per unit). Prior to the date of acquisition, Toromont designated its investment in ESIF as available-for-sale and as a result the units were measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"). On acquisition, the cumulative gain on this investment was reclassified out of OCI and into the income statement. The fair value of this investment was included in the cost of purchase outlined below. The fair value of these units at January 20, 2010 was $56.4 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $18.6 million.
Purchase Price:
Units owned by Toromont prior to the Offer $ 56,424
Cash consideration 315,539
Issuance of Toromont common shares 328,105
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 700,068
----------
----------
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Enerflex designated as the acquirer of ESIF. Results from ESIF have been consolidated from the acquisition date, January 20, 2010.
Cash used in the acquisition was determined as follows:
Cash consideration $ 315,539
Less: cash acquired (23,006)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 292,533
-----------
-----------
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company determined the fair values based on discounted cash flows, market information, independent valuations and management's estimates.
The final allocation of the purchase price was as follows:
Purchase price allocation
Cash $ 23,006
Non-cash working capital 125,742
Property, plant and equipment 135,400
Rental equipment 67,587
Other long-term assets 24,315
Intangible assets with a finite life
Customer relationships 38,400
Other 5,700
Long-term liabilities (181,388)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net identifiable assets acquired 238,762
Residual purchase price allocated to goodwill 461,306
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 700,068
-----------
-----------
Non-cash working capital included accounts receivable of $109 million, representing gross contractual amounts receivable of $115 million less management's best estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected of $6 million.
Factors that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill include: the existing ESIF business; the acquired workforce; time-to-market benefits of acquiring an established manufacturing and service organization in key international markets such as Australia and the Middle East; and the combined strategic value to the Company's growth plan. The amount assigned to goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The combined revenues and pre-tax earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010 as though the acquisition date had been January 1, 2010, excluding purchase accounting adjustments and one-time costs related to change of control, are estimated at $1,155 million and $26 million respectively.
The Company recorded a gain of $4.9 million on equipment sold from June 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
Note 6. Assets and Associated Liabilities Held for Sale
During 2011, the Company reclassified its European operations to assets and associated liabilities held for sale as a result of management's decision to exit the business. As the Combined Heat & Power ("CHP") and Service business within the European region represents a specific line of business that management intends to exit, the assets and liabilities have been reclassified to assets and associated liabilities held for sale on the statement of financial position.
Enerflex will continue to sell compression processing equipment in Europe through its sales office in the United Kingdom.
The following table represents the assets and associated liabilities reclassified to held for sale:
December 31, 2011

----------
----------
Liabilities
Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions $ 9,428
Deferred revenue 763
----------
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale $ 10,191
----------
----------
The carrying value of the assets held for sale was established at the lower of the carrying value and the estimated fair value less costs to sell. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2011, an impairment loss of $54.0 million was recognized, which consisted of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $31.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively; deferred tax assets of $3.0 million; fair value adjustments of $10.0 million; and anticipated cash transaction costs, including termination benefits total $8.0 million.
Note 7. Discontinued Operations
As disclosed in Note 6, the Company reclassified its European operations to assets held for sale during the third quarter. As the CHP and Service business within the European region represents a specific line of business that management intends to exit, the corresponding revenues and expenses have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statement of earnings.
Effective February 2011, the Company sold the shares of Enerflex Environmental Australia Pty ("EEA") to a third party, as the business was not considered core to the future growth of the Company. Total consideration received was $3.4 million, net of cash, and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million, less tax of $1.1 million.
Effective September 2010, the Company sold certain assets and the operations of Enerflex Syntech, an electrical, instrumentation and controls business, as the business was not considered core to the future growth of the Company.
Total consideration received was $7.0 million, comprised of $3.5 million cash and $3.5 million in note receivable due in twelve equal instalments, plus interest, commencing January 2011. Net assets disposed, including transaction costs, also totalled $7.0 million, comprised of $6.0 million of non-cash working capital and $1.0 million of capital assets.
The following tables summarize the revenues, income (loss) before income taxes, and income taxes from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The operations presented below had all been part of the international reporting segment.

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to the Canada & Northern U.S., Southern U.S. and South America and International regions. The allocation of goodwill is to groups of cash-generating units which represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
In assessing whether goodwill has been impaired, the carrying amount of the segment (including goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In the absence of any information about the fair value of a segment, the recoverable amount is deemed to be the value-in-use.
The recoverable amounts for the regions have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, using the discounted pre-tax cash flow projections. Management has adopted a four year projection period to assess each region's value-in-use, as it is confident based on past experience of the accuracy of long-term cash flow forecasts that these projections are reliable. The cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a three year period, extrapolated thereafter at a growth rate of 2.0% per annum. Management considers this a conservative long-term growth rate relative to both the economic outlook for the units in their respective markets within the oil and gas industry and the long term growth rates experienced in the recent past by each region.
Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations:
The calculation of value-in-use for the Company's groups of cash-generating units is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
-- Growth rate: estimates are based on management's assessment of market
share having regard to macro-economic factors and the growth rates
experienced in the recent past of each region. A growth rate of 2.0% per
annum has been applied for the remaining years of the four year
projection.
-- Discount rate: management has used a post-tax discount rate of 8.41% per
annum which is derived from the estimated weighted average cost of
capital of the Company. This discount rate has been calculated using an
estimated risk-free rate of return adjusted for the Company's estimated
equity market risk premium, Company's cost of debt, and the tax rate in
the local jurisdiction.

(1) Warranty Provision-The provision for warranty claims represents the present value of management's best estimate of the future outflow of economic benefits that will be required under the Company's obligations for warranties under local sale of goods legislation. The estimate has been made on the basis of historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.
Note 16. Long-Term Debt
The Company has, by way of private placement, $90.5 million of Unsecured Notes ("Notes") issued and outstanding. They have different maturities with $50.5 million, with a coupon of 4.841%, maturing on June 22, 2016 and $40.0 million, with a coupon of 6.011%, maturing on June 22, 2021.
The Company has syndicated revolving credit facilities ("Bank Facilities") with an amount available of $325.0 million. The Bank Facilities consist of a committed 4-year $270.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), a committed 4-year $10.0 million operating facility (the "Operator"), a committed 4-year $20.0 million Australian operating facility (the "Australian Operator") and a committed 4-year $25.0 million bi-lateral letter of credit facilities (collectively known as the "LC Bi-Lateral"). The Revolver, Operator, Australian Operator and LC Bi-Lateral are collectively referred to as the Bank Facilities. The Bank Facilities were funded on June 1, 2011.
The Bank Facilities have a maturity date of June 1, 2015 ("Maturity Date"), but may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. In addition, the Bank Facilities may be increased by $50.0 million at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders' consent. There is no required or scheduled repayment of principal until the Maturity Date of the Bank Facilities.
Drawings on the Bank Facilities are available by way of Prime Rate loans ("Prime"), U.S. Base Rate loans, LIBOR loans, and Bankers' Acceptance ("BA") notes. The Company may also draw on the Bank Facilities through bank overdrafts in either Canadian or U.S. dollars and issue letters of credit under the Bank Facilities.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bank Facilities, a margin is applied to drawings on the Bank Facilities in addition to the quoted interest rate. The margin is established in basis points and is based on consolidated net debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio. The margin is adjusted effective the first day of the third month following the end of each fiscal quarter based on the above ratio.
The Company also has a committed facility with one of the lenders in the Bank Facilities for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Bi-Lateral"). The amount available under the Bi-Lateral is $50.0 million and has a maturity date of June 1, 2013, which may be extended annually with the consent of the lender. Drawings on the Bi-Lateral are by way of letters of credit.
In addition, the Company has a committed facility with a U.S. lender ("U.S. Facility") in the amount of $20.0 million USD. Drawings on the U.S. Facility are by way of LIBOR loans, US Base Rate loans and letters of credit. The maturity date of the U.S. Facility is July 1, 2014 and may be extended annually at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders consent. There are no required or scheduled repayments of principal until the maturity date of the U.S. Facility.
The Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral and the U.S. Facility are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on the Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral, the U.S. Facility and the Notes. As at December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had $31.3 million cash drawings against the Bank Facilities. These Bank Facilities were not available at December 31, 2010, as the Company's borrowings consisted of a Note Payable to its parent company.

As part of the Arrangement, Toromont shareholders received one share of Enerflex for each common share of Toromont owned. To determine Enerflex's share capital amount, Toromont's stated capital immediately prior to the Arrangement was bifurcated based on the relative fair market value of the property transferred from Toromont to Enerflex ("Butterfly Proportion") at the time of the Arrangement. The Butterfly Proportion was determined to be 56.4% and 43.6% for Toromont and Enerflex, respectively.
The share capital comprises only one class of ordinary shares. The ordinary shares carry a voting right and a right to a dividend.
Total dividends declared in the year were $13.9 million, or $0.06 per share (December 31, 2010 - no dividend declared).
Net Investment
For comparative periods, Toromont's Net Investment in Enerflex Ltd. prior to the Arrangement is presented as Owner's Net Investment in these consolidated financial statements. Total Net Investment consists of Owner's Net Investment, Retained Earnings and Contributed Surplus.

Note 22. Share-Based Compensation
a) Stock Options
The Company maintains a stock option program for certain employees. Under the plan, up to 7.7 million options may be granted for subsequent exercise in exchange for common shares. It is Company policy that no more than 1% of outstanding shares or approximately 0.8 million share options may be granted in any one year.
The stock option plan entitles the holder to acquire shares of the Company at the strike price, established at the time of the grant, after vesting and before expiry. The strike price of each option equals the weighted average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the effective date of the grant. The options have a seven-year term and vest at a rate of one fifth on each of the five anniversaries of the date of the grant.
As part of the Arrangement, Toromont Options were exchanged for new stock options granted by each of Toromont and Enerflex. For each Toromont stock option previously held, option holders received one option in each of Toromont and Enerflex, with the exercise price determined by applying the Butterfly Proportion to the previous exercise price. All other conditions relating to these options, including terms and vesting periods, remained the same and there was no acceleration of option vesting. The Butterfly Proportion was determined to be 56.4% and 43.6% for Toromont and Enerflex, respectively. Stock options outstanding at June 1, 2011 represent options exchanged under the Arrangement.

The fair value of the stock options granted by Toromont during the year ended December 31, 2010 was determined at the time of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
b) Deferred Share Units
The Company offers a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan for executives and non-employee directors, whereby they may elect on an annual basis to receive all or a portion of their annual bonus, or retainer and fees, respectively, in deferred share units. In addition, the Board may grant discretionary DSUs to executives. A DSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the implied market value calculated as the number of DSUs multiplied by the closing price of Enerflex shares on the entitlement date.
DSUs may be granted to eligible participants on an annual basis and will vest upon being credited to the executive or non-employee director's account. Vested DSUs are to be settled by the end of the year vesting occurs. The Company may, at its sole discretion, satisfy, in whole or in part, its payment obligation through a cash payment to the participant or by instructing an independent broker to acquire a number of fully paid shares in the open market on behalf of the participant.
DSU recipients are entitled to additional units over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends, that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares of the Company, following each dividend paid to the Shareholders of the Company. The additional units are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
DSUs represent an indexed liability of the Company relative to the Company's share price. In 2011, the Board of Directors did not grant any DSUs to employees of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2011, directors fees elected to be received in deferred share units totalled $0.2 million (December 31, 2010 - nil).

c) Phantom Share Rights
The Company utilizes a Phantom Share Rights Plan (Share Appreciation Right) ("SAR") for certain directors and key employees of affiliates located in Australia and the UAE, for whom the Company's Stock Option Plan would have negative personal taxation consequences.
The exercise price of each SAR equals the average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. The SARs vest at a rate of one fifth on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of the grant and expire on the fifth anniversary. The award entitlements for increases in the share trading value of the Company are to be paid to the recipient in cash upon exercise.
In 2011, the Board of Directors granted 59,000 SARS and recognized a nominal expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 (December 31, 2010- nil). No SARs had vested at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
d) Employee Share Ownership Plan
The Company offers an Employee Share Ownership Plan whereby employees who meet the eligibility criteria can purchase shares by way of payroll deductions. There is a Company match of up to $1,000 per employee per annum based on contributions by the Company of $1 for every $3 contributed by the employee. Company contributions vest to the employee immediately. Company contributions are charged to selling and administrative expense when paid. The Plan is administered by a third party.
e) Share-Based Compensation Expense
The share-based compensation expense included in the determination of net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was:

Note 23. Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors pension arrangements for substantially all of its employees through defined contribution plans in Canada, Europe and Australia, and a 401(k) matched savings plan in the United States. In the case of the defined contribution plans, regular contributions are made to the employees' individual accounts, which are administered by a plan trustee, in accordance with the plan document. Both in the case of the defined contribution plans and the 401(k) matched savings plan, the pension expenses recorded in earnings are the amounts of actual contributions the Company is required to make in accordance with the terms of the plans.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2011 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial assets
Derivative financial instruments $ 2,136 $ - $ 2,136 $ -
Financial liabilities
Derivative financial instruments $ 455 $ - $ 455 $ -
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities and the note payable to Toromont are reported at amounts approximating their fair values on the statement of financial position. The fair values approximate the carrying values for these instruments due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using the discounted value of the difference between the contract's value at maturity based on the contracted foreign exchange rate and the contract's value at maturity based on prevailing exchange rates. The financial institution's credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value.
Long-term debt associated with the Company's Notes is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost of the Notes is equal to the face value as there were no premiums or discounts on the issuance of the debt. Transaction costs associated with the debt were deducted from the debt and are being recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the related debt. The fair value of these Notes at December 31, 2011, as determined on a discounted cash flow basis with a weighted average discount rate of 4.77%, was $91.1 million.
Fair values are determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined using inputs including forward market rates and credit spreads that are readily observable and reliable, or for which unobservable inputs are determined not to be significant to the fair value, are categorized as Level 2. If there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market data where possible, including recent arm's-length market transactions, and comparisons to the current fair value of similar instruments; but where this is not feasible, inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility are used.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Foreign exchange contracts are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations related to purchases of inventory and sales of products. The following table summarizes the Company's commitments to buy and sell foreign currencies as at December 31, 2011:
Notional
amount Maturity
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canadian dollar denominated contracts
Purchase contracts USD 18,462 January 2012 to September 2012
EUR 64 January 2012 to March 2012
Sales contracts USD 43,518 January 2012 to September 2012
EUR 700 February 2012
AUD 4,800 January 2012
Australian dollar denominated
contracts
Purchase contracts EUR 315 January 2012 to February 2012
Sales contracts USD 35,720 January 2012 to February 2014
Management estimates that a gain of $1.7 million would be realized if the contracts were terminated on December 31, 2011. Certain of these forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, a loss of less than $0.1 million has been included in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2011. These gains or losses are not expected to affect net income as the gains will be reclassified to net income and will offset losses recorded on the underlying hedged items, namely foreign currency denominated accounts payable and accounts receivable. The amount removed from other comprehensive income during the year and included in the carrying amount of the hedging items as a basis adjustment was immaterial for both 2011 and 2010.
All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an ongoing basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.
Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that may potentially impact its operating results in any or all of its business segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Risk
In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to movements in the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar, the Euro, the Pakistani rupee and the Indonesian rupiah. In addition, Enerflex has significant international exposure through export from its Canadian operations as well as a number of foreign subsidiaries, the most significant of which are located in the United States, Australia, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates. The Company does not hedge its net investment exposure in foreign subsidiaries.
The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company's related risk management strategies are as follows:
Transaction exposure
The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company mitigates exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency contracts to fix the cost of imported inventory where appropriate.
The Company also sells compression packages in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar and the Euro and enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce these exchange rate risks.
Most of Enerflex's international orders are manufactured in the U.S. operations if the contract is denominated in U.S. dollars. This minimizes the Company's foreign currency exposure on these contracts.
The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks.
Translation exposure
The Company's earnings from and net investment in foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The currencies with the most significant impact are the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar and the Euro.
Assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the statement of financial position dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative currency translation adjustments are recognized in income when there has been a reduction in the net investment in the foreign operations.
Earnings from foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to these other currencies will impact reported net income. Such exchange rate fluctuations have historically not been material year-over-year relative to the overall earnings or financial position of the Company. The following table shows the effect on net income before tax for the period ended December 31, 2011 of a 5% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, Euro and Australian dollar, everything else being equal. A 5% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect. This sensitivity analysis is provided as an indicative range in a volatile currency environment.
Canadian dollar weakens by 5% USD Euro AUD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings before tax $ 2,505 $ 32 $ (675)
The movement in net earnings before tax in Canadian operations is a result of a change in the fair values of financial instruments. The majority of these financial instruments are hedged.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's financial instruments and show the impact on net earnings and comprehensive income. Financial instruments affected by currency risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis relates to the position as at December 31, 2011 and for the period then ended. The following table shows the Company's sensitivity to a 5% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, Euro and Australian dollar. A 5% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect.
Canadian dollar weakens by 5% USD Euro AUD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial instruments held in foreign operations Other comprehensive income $ 3,476 $ 271 $ 829 Financial instruments held in Canadian operations Net earnings 927 2 - Other comprehensive loss (5) - -
The movement in accumulated other comprehensive income is mainly a result of the changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 include interest rates that are fixed and therefore the related interest expense will not be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Bank Facilities however, are subject to changes in market interest rates. For each 1% change in the rate of interest on the Bank Facilities, the change in interest expense would be approximately $1.2 million. All interest charges are recorded on the statement of earnings as a separate line item called Finance Costs.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net investment in finance lease, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the statement of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.
Cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such as money market deposits. The Company has deposited the cash equivalents with highly-rated financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
The Company has accounts receivable from clients engaged in various industries. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and, generally, advance payment is not required. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has no individual customers which account for more than 10% of its revenues. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and an allowance for doubtful debts is established based upon specific situations.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in this note. The Company does not hold collateral as security.
The credit risk associated with the net investment in finance leases arises from the possibility that the counterparty may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into finance lease transactions only in select circumstances. Close contact is maintained with the customer over the duration of the lease to ensure visibility to issues as and if they arise.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly-rated financial institutions.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets, except that the credit risk associated with the finance lease receivable is mitigated because the lease receivables are secured over the leased equipment.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a significant portion of its Bank Facilities for future drawings to meet the Company's future growth targets. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $31.3 million committed against the Bank Facilities, leaving $293.7 million available for future drawings plus cash and cash equivalents of $81.2 million at that date.
A liquidity analysis of the Company's financial instruments has been completed on a maturity basis. The following table outlines the cash flows including interest associated with the maturity of the Company's financial liabilities:
Less than 3 months Greater
3 months to 1 year than 1 year Total
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Long-term Liabilities - - 590 590
The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2011 together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and credit facilities will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital, and capital assets.
The amounts included above for variable interest rates instruments for both non-derivative financial assets and liabilities is subject to change if changes in variable interest rates differ from those estimates of interest rates determined at the end of the reporting period.
Note 27. Capital Disclosures
The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders' equity plus net debt. The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue to grow while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balances. 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. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new Company shares, or access debt markets.
The Company formally reviews the capital structure on an annual basis and monitors it on an on-going basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In order to position itself to execute its long-term plan to become a leading supplier of products and services to the global energy sector, the Company is maintaining a conservative statement of financial position. The Company uses the following measures to monitor its capital structure:
Net debt to equity ratio
The Company targets a Net debt to equity ratio of less than 1.00:1. At December 31, 2011, the Net debt to equity was 0.05:1 (December 31, 2010 - 0.24:1), calculated as follows:
December 31, 2011 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note payable $ - $ 215,000 Long-term debt 118,963 - Cash (81,200) (15,000) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net debt $ 37,763 $ 200,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders'/Owner's equity $ 836,263 $ 839,528 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net debt to equity ratio 0.05:1 0.24:1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 32. Seasonality
The oil and natural gas service sector in Canada has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while the Service and Rentals product line revenues are stable throughout the year. Rentals revenues are also impacted by both the Company's and its customers capital investment decisions. The international markets are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends usually occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
Note 33. Transition to IFRS
As disclosed in Note 2, these Consolidated Financial Statements represent Enerflex's initial presentation of the financial results of operations and financial position under IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a result, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Previously, the Company prepared its interim and annual financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian GAAP.
IFRS 1 requires the presentation of comparative information as at the January 1, 2010 transition date and subsequent comparative periods as well as the consistent and retrospective application of IFRS accounting policies. To assist with the transition, the provisions of IFRS allow for certain mandatory exceptions and elective exemptions for first-time adopters to alleviate the retrospective application of all IFRSs.
Opening Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
The following reconciliations present the adjustments made to the Company's previous GAAP financial results of operations and financial position to comply with IFRS 1. Reconciliations include the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Owner's Equity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. IFRS had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (loss), Comprehensive Income (loss) and Cash Flows.
IFRS policies have been retrospectively and consistently applied except where specific IFRS 1 exemptions are permitted to first-time adopters.
Significant differences upon transition to IFRS:
(A) Cumulative Translation Adjustment - the Company elected to reset the cumulative translation adjustment balance to zero as at January 1, 2010.
(B) Reclassification - the Company reclassified all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current.
