Letter to Shareholders

Letter to Shareholders

To our shareholders,
2012 was a remarkable year for Westport.  We truly believe 

that we have passed the tipping point and we are now 

entering a new era for natural gas as a transportation fuel. 

In every market segment and in every geographic area, we 

Most importantly, we need to reduce costs and reflect the 

savings in reduced prices to our customers and end users.  

As I said, this is all underway.  2013 will see the beginning 

of the new phase of our industry, with natural gas products 

becoming mainstream, and we will grow from there.

Revenue growth is still a key metric, and we continue

to foresee industry-leading sales growth.  However, the 

I will start by providing a brief review of the year and our strategic 

position, and discuss how we have realigned our business units for 

the next phase in our company’s development.  This is paralleled 

with a change in our financial presentation, which we believe 

will make our growth trends and path to profitability clearer.

We at Westport have made great efforts over the past decade to 

promote and deliver demonstration projects that prove natural 

gas could be viable as a transportation fuel.  In the process, we 

recruited many partners and developed a broad consensus that our 

emerging metrics for us and our partners are going to 

be return on investment, efficiency, scalability, cash flow, 

and operating income.  We want our partners to see 

that this is going to be a great business opportunity and 

that means we all need to see the financial returns. 

As we looked at the opportunity ahead, we concluded 

that we need to pivot away from our proof-of-concept, 

project-oriented organization, and increase the focus 

on our commercial products and our partnerships.

participate.  Industry reports suggest that by 2017, between 

business units into three new global business units:

7% and 15% of the heavy-duty truck market in North America 

will be powered by natural gas.  We can see similar numbers in 

China and rapid penetration in new markets like mining and rail. 

Our more mature market segments such as transit and refuse 

trucks continue to increase their market share as well.  Given 

these factors, we concluded that 2012 marked the end of the 

proof-of-concept phase.  We believe now our customers want 

a complete systems solution with clear economic advantages 

without giving up anything as they move to natural gas.

The path to a vibrant industry is in front of us and we are 

confident that we can achieve this.  We intend to be one of the

including Volvo, PACCAR, Ford, General Motors, and Clark 

For the past decade, the goal has been to attract new customers 

and show them that natural gas could work for them, so 

naturally the business metric has been revenue growth. 

We believe it is now apparent to our partners that many people 

will want natural gas for transportation applications.  We 

need to finish product development and deliver a broad array 

of the right products to market.  We also need to help our 

partners sell and support these products, as well as expand 

our product offerings into new markets and geographies.  

to design complete vehicles and have them designed to 

be produced in parallel or on the production line with major 

OEMs.  Westport has developed unique partnerships 

with the majority of these OEMs and at this point we 

believe every transportation OEM must organize their 

natural gas product line within a very short time.  In 

fact, we recently launched two new OEM programs 

to develop natural gas engines featuring Westport high 
pressure direct injection (Westport™ HPDI) technology.

3   New Markets and Off-Road Systems is responsible for major 
new markets such as off-road mining and locomotives, and our 

China initiative.  Revenues are expected to come from product 

and component sales, the cryogenic vessels required to store 

the liquefied natural gas (LNG), and the control systems which 

deliver fuel to the engine associated with such vehicles.  Our 

partnerships with Weichai and Caterpillar fall into this group.

We also have two major joint ventures (JVs), Cummins Westport 

Inc. (CWI) and Weichai Westport Inc. (WWI) where we receive 

a share of the profits from these companies.  What we want 

to increasingly focus on is the revenue from sale of Westport 

products to customers using these JV engines, and we want the 

JVs to be reported in a parallel fashion.  Our new presentation will 

show both JVs by equity profit share and our reported revenue 

will only include Westport product and services.  Note that sales 

of products like the new Westport™ LNG Tank System to OEMs

Collaboration in 2012
National Petroleum Council’s “Advancing 
Technology for America’s Transportation Future”

Westport was an active participant in the National Petroleum 

Council’s (NPC) most recent 2012 publication “Advancing 

Technology for America’s Transportation Future”.  The report was 

requested by the U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu to examine 

opportunities to accelerate alternative fuel prospects for passenger 

and freight transport through 2050.  The study included over 

300 participants representing industry, government, academia 

and non-governmental organizations who contributed their 

knowledge and time to an examination of the potential of fuels 

and technologies for the light-duty and heavy-duty transport sector.  

“There are competing priorities in the pursuit of new fuel 

and vehicle technologies that are reliable, affordable and 

environmentally advanced and natural gas is well-positioned within 

the study,” said Karen Hamberg, Vice President of Sustainable 

Energy Futures at Westport.  “The potential for a long-term and 

low-cost domestic supply of natural gas driven by economically 

at the CGI Annual General Meeting in September.  Our 

commitment aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 

from mobile phone towers in India and provide residual 

power to nearby villages that are currently off the grid.  

India’s electrical grid is challenged by the growing number of 

mobile phone towers and many are powered totally or in part 

by diesel generators.  According to the Telecom Regulatory 

Authority of India (TRAI), there are close to 400,000 off-grid 

mobile phone towers in the country which use about two billion 

litres of fuel annually.  These towers release approximately 

6.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, making them the second 

largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country.

The use of natural gas or biogas powered generators will reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions and provide a stable source of 

power to these towers.  Fifty percent of mobile towers in India 

are disconnected from the grid for at least eight hours a day.  

With an established correlation between energy consumption 

and the Human Development Index, another critical outcome 

of this project is that the residual electricity can be used to 

power rural communities.  If successful, this solution could

It is expected that climate change will impact global water 

resources.  Water use is an increasingly critical component 

of each organization’s sustainability performance.  Despite 

this, only the largest industries in British Columbia have 

water meters with data logging capability and the city 

of Vancouver does not currently provide meters to light 

industrial or commercial customers such as Westport.

Our calculations indicate that Westport facilities cumulatively 

have an average daily rate of water use of approximately 

13.5 m³ per day.  Engine and fuel system component 

testing activities use process water that flows in a closed-

loop thereby minimizing total water withdrawals.  Water 

conserving domestic appliances and fixtures has been installed 

at all locations in an effort to further reduce our impact.

Sustainability Report

Environmental Performance

The overall energy consumption increased in the reporting 

process  of  compiling  a  GHG  inventory  is  an  important  first  step  in 

year.  This result can be attributed to a number of factors:

understanding reduction opportunities and measuring progress.

1   In 2012, we built a new High Technology Centre (HTC) in 

Vancouver.  As part of the expansion in product and service 

offerings, we have added the state-of-the art testing 

facilities.  The new HTC allows us to perform development 

and certification testing in-house which streamline the 

Westport prepared its first CDP report in 2012 to work towards our goal of 

enhanced corporate transparency and disclosure related to environmental 

performance and climate change.  The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a 

global, independent not-for-profit organization working to drive greenhouse 

gas  emissions  reduction  and  sustainable  water  use.   The  CDP  provides 

a  platform  for  thousands  of  companies  and  cities  to  measure,  disclose, 

testing process.  The new HTC adds three more transient

test cells and we now operate six transient dynamometers.  

the investment opportunities and reduce the risks posed by climate change.

When the engines are running during the test, they 

generate electricity which can be used by the facility.  If 

the power cannot be used, it is returned to the grid.  

2   We acquired about 27% more office space square 
footage due to an increase in employee headcount.

3   The increase in diesel is due to variable testing 

schedules.  There are times when we are evaluating 

several engines which run on diesel only.  Moreover, 

we have increase our on road testing which means 

more engineering trucks are running different tests.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The process highlighted our strengths and opportunities for improvement.  

One of our strengths is our technology and products enable the range of 

light  to  high-horsepower  petroleum-based  fuel  engines  to  use  primarily 

natural gas, giving users a cleaner and generally less expensive alternative 

fuel based on a more abundant natural resource.  We have also identified 

the opportunities to integrate climate change risk into our risk management 

procedures and overall business strategy.

Waste Generation and Diversion

Waste  reduction,  reuse  and  recycling  programs  are  well  established  and 

well-maintained.    Using  formulas  based  on  bin  size  and  frequency  of 

collection, Westport generates approximately 200 tonnes of waste annually.  

Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill remains a priority and we have 

launched employee education and awareness efforts to communicate the 

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol developed by the World Business Council on 

importance of minimizing the amount of waste generated.

Sustainable  Development  (WBSCD)  is  the  globally  accepted  standard  for 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting.  The organizational boundary 

of this inventory includes all of Westport’s British Columbia-based facilities

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Basis of Presentation
This  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  (“MD&A”)  for  Westport 

Innovations Inc. (“Westport”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is intended 

to  assist  readers  in  analyzing  our  financial  results  and  should  be  read  in 

conjunction  with  the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements,  including 

the  accompanying  notes,  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2012.  

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance 

with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States  (“U.S. 

GAAP”).  The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. This MD&A is 

dated May 31, 2013.

On May 30, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a fiscal year-end change 

from March 31 to December 31 to align the year ends of all consolidated 

operating companies to the calendar year.  As a result of changing our year 

end, the previous reporting period is a “stub” period of only nine months 

(April  1,  2011  to  December  31,  2011).    Due  to  the  difference  in  period 

lengths, the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash 

flows are not directly comparable.

In our previously filed annual and interim financial statements in fiscal 2012 

and 2011, the Company had identified Cummins Westport Inc. (“CWI”) as 

a  variable  interest  entity  (“VIE”)  and Westport’s  interest  as  being  that  of 

the  primary  beneficiary  upon  adoption  of  Accounting  Standards  Update 

2009-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by 

Enterprises with Variable Interest Entities, (“ASU 2009-17”) effective April 1, 

2010.  As a result, the Company consolidated CWI on a line by line basis in 

its consolidated financial statements reflecting its financial position, results 

Based  on  the  Company’s  ongoing  review  and  adoption  of  the  applicable 

accounting  guidance  in  ASU  2009-17  and  related  interpretations,  the 

Company  concluded  that  CWI  should  be  accounted  for  under  the  equity 

method  because  CWI  continues  to  be  a  VIE  but  there  is  no  primary 

beneficiary.  Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares 

of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors.  No one 

shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI.  The Board of Directors 

has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI 

method in the statements of operations.  The assets, liabilities, revenues and 

expenses of CWI previously included on the balance sheet and statement of 

operations on a line by line basis are summarized in [note 7(b)] of our audited 
consolidated financial statements, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 

2012.  There was no cumulative effect from adoption of ASU 2009-17 at April 

1, 2010.

The  Company  originally  filed  its  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the 

year ended December 31, 2012 reflecting the restatement described above 

on or about March 7, 2013.  Subsequent to the date of filing the 2012 annual 

consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  identified  additional 

disclosures to assist in understanding the impact of the change in accounting 

for CWI.  See [note 7(b)] and [note 26] of our audited consolidated financial 
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for the additional 

disclosures and the effect of the corrections on each financial statement line 

item for previously issued financial statements.

In  addition,  the  Company  identified  amounts  reclassified  from  foreign 

exchange loss (gain) to income from investment accounted for by the equity 

method for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 ($2,040) and 

the year ended March 31, 2011 ($1,042) to be consistent with the revised 

presentation of CWI and revised the pro forma revenue amounts for these 

periods in [note 4(a)] and [note 4(b)].  The Company also identified disclosure 
reclassifications  in  deferred  income  taxes  from  non-current  to  current 

($5,639) for balances as at December 31, 2011 [note 20(b)] and segmented 
information  related  to  long-lived  assets  information  [note 24]  allocated  by 
geographic areas as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Finally, 

certain typographical errors have been corrected to ensure consistency of 

presentation.

Additional information relating to Westport, including our Annual Information 

Form (“AIF”) and Form 40-F, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on 
EDGAR at www.sec.gov.  All financial information is reported in U.S. dollars 
unless otherwise noted.

Forward Looking Statements
This  MD&A  contains  forward-looking  statements  that  are  based  on 

that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in 

the  beliefs  of  management  and  reflects  our  current  expectations  as 

the  governing  documents.   As  decision-making  at  the  Board  of  Directors’ 

contemplated under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the United 

level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared.  Accordingly neither 

States Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements include but are

party is the primary beneficiary.

Finding  comparable  organizations  against  which  to  benchmark  our 

GHG  emissions  remains  a  challenge.     There  are  currently  no  regulatory 

requirements  for  a  company  of  our  size  to  disclose  its  emissions.[7]   The 

5  Scope One Direct Emissions encompass both liquefied and compressed natural gas, diesel, 

propane, and fuel used in company vehicles.  Scope Two Indirect Emissions include emissions 
associated with the purchase and use of electricity.

6  The GHG Protocol methodology used at this time only includes emissions associated with fuel 
consumption and not energy and emissions associated with fuel production, distribution and 
transport.

In Canada, Large Final Emitters (LFEs), those facilities that emit the equivalent of 100,000 
tonnes (100 kT) or more of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents per year are required to disclose their 
emissions.

enable light-duty (less than 5.9-litre), medium-duty (5.9- to 8.9-litre), heavy-

duty (11- to 16-litre), and high-horsepower (greater than 16-litre) petroleum-

based fuel engines to use primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner, and 

generally less expensive, alternative fuel based on a more abundant natural 

resource.   Through  our  partnerships  and  direct  sales  efforts,  to  date,  we 

have sold over 73,000 natural gas and propane engines and fuel systems 

to  customers  in  more  than  19  countries.    We  currently  have  strategic 

relationships with three of the world’s top four engine producers and supply

The principle focus and responsibilities of the new reporting alignments are 

summarized below:

Applied Technologies

The  Applied Technologies  business  unit  (“Applied Technologies”)  designs, 

manufactures  and  sells  compressed  natural  gas 

(“CNG”), 

liquefied 

petroleum gas (“LPG”), and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) components and 

subsystems  to  over  20  global  OEMs  including  Fiat, Volkswagen,  the  GAZ 

Group, Toyota, Chrysler, Tata, and General Motors (“GM”) and to aftermarket 

customers in over 60 countries.  Sales from Westport wholly owned Italian 

subsidiaries OMVL S.p.A. (“OMVL”) and Emer S.p.A (“Emer”) and Westport’s 

Australian operations are reported under Applied Technologies and are made 

either directly to OEMs or through one of their many distributors.  Applied 

Technologies  designs  and  manufactures  a  range  of  components  from 

pressure regulators, injectors, ECUs and valves, to filters; sells monofuel and 

bi-fuel  conversion  kits;    and  also  offers  full  engine  management  solutions 

and systems that can be launched quickly at a competitive price.  Applied 

Technologies  provides Westport  with  high  volume,  scalable  manufacturing 

and assembly.  The business unit has a strong customer base in Europe and 

is targeting growing markets in Asia, and North and South America.

and partners include Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) and Weichai Power Co. 

Ltd. (“Weichai”).  According to industry statistics and Westport analysis, the 

global  fuel  usage  in  these  applications  is  over  24  billion  gallons  of  diesel 

and the opportunity for significant fuel cost savings and reduced emissions 

through the use of LNG is highly attractive.  In June of 2012, Westport and 

Caterpillar signed an agreement to collaborate and bring Westport’s HPDI 

technology  into  these  markets. The  initial  focus  of  New  Markets  and  Off-

Road  Systems  is  on  developing  Westport  HPDI-based  large  mine  trucks 

and  main  line  locomotives  and  the  Weichai  Westport  Inc.  (“WWI”)  12L 

development program.  

Revenues are expected to come from product and component sales, the 

cryogenic vessels required to store the LNG, and the control systems which 

deliver  fuel  to  the  engine  associated  with  such  vehicles. There  is  a  large 

market opportunity for cryogenic systems where Westport has technology 

in LNG storage and pump configurations for transportation based on years 

of experience in On-Road Systems. Westport currently provides a number 

of  cryogenic  tank  system  solutions  to  carry  fuel  for  large  non-Westport 

HPDI LNG off-road engines currently available as interim solutions in mining, 

marine and rail until the release of the higher diesel substitution solutions 

based on direct injection. 

trucks and tractors, and refuse collection trucks, as well as specialty vehicles 

such  as  short-haul  port  drayage  trucks,  material  handling  trucks,  street 

sweepers and vehicles for selected industrial applications.  The fuel for CWI 

engines is typically carried on the vehicles as CNG or LNG.  CWI engines are 

produced at certain Cummins’ plants, allowing CWI to leverage Cummins’ 

manufacturing footprint without incurring additional capital costs.  CWI also 

utilizes  Cummins’  supply  chain,  back  office  systems  and  distribution  and 

sales networks.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  consolidated  revenue  increased 

$67.9  million,  or  77%,  to  $155.6  million  from  $87.7  million  for  the  nine 

months ended December 31, 2011.  This increase in revenue was driven by 

an increase in Applied Technologies revenue due to full year contributions 

from  Emer,  an  increase  in  On-Road  Systems  revenues  due  to  higher  15L 

unit sales and the launch of the F-250/F-350 bi-fuel pick-up truck in June 2012 

and  Corporate  revenue  driven  primarily  by  the  transfer  of  the  proprietary 

know-how related to the HPDI technology.

Consolidated net loss attributable to the Company for the twelve months 

ended December 31, 2012 was $98.8 million, or $1.83 loss per diluted share, 

compared  to  a  $45.8  million  net  loss,  or  $0.96  loss  per  diluted  share,  for 

the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The $53.0 million increase in 

net loss was driven by an increase in net losses in Corporate and On-Road 

Systems as product development costs increased by a greater percentage 

relative to operating margin from our products.

Capital Management

As  of  December  31,  2012,  our  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term 

investments  balance  was  $215.9  million  compared  to  $67.6  million  at 

December 31, 2011.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, cash 

used in operations was $85.7 million with $89.1 million used for operating 

purposes  and  $3.4  million  provided  from  working  capital.    We  also  paid 

cash of $1.1 million for our acquisition of certain assets of AEC, purchased 

$30.4 million of property and equipment, purchased $1.0 million in intangible 

assets, repaid a portion of our long-term debt totaling $6.7 million, and we 

received a dividend of $22.6 million from CWI.  We received a repayment 

on our note receivable of $2.5 million, loan repayments net of advances of 

$19.4  million  to  a  joint  venture  partner,  drew  down  our  lines  of  credit  for 

$1.1 million, issued shares through a public share offering resulting in cash 

inflow  of  $265.4  million  (net  of  share  issuance  costs)  and  issued  shares 

through the exercise of stock options, which resulted in an additional $1.0 

million in cash.  Foreign exchange on Canadian dollar and Euro denominated 

cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and unrealized foreign 

exchange  impacts  on  certain  foreign  currency  denominated  balances 

resulted in an unfavorable $0.1 million impact on our cash, cash equivalents 

and short-term investments balance.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with 

U.S.  GAAP,  which  requires  us  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that 

affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.  The 

Company’s accounting policies are described in [note 2] of our calendar year 
2012 annual consolidated financial statements. We have identified several 

policies  as  critical  to  our  business  operations  and  in  understanding  our 

results of operations.  These policies, which require the use of judgment, 

estimates and assumptions in determining their reported amounts, include 

our accounting of CWI as variable interest entity, warranty liability, revenue 

recognition,  inventories,  property,  equipment,  furniture  and  leasehold 

improvements, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets.  

The  application  of  these  and  other  accounting  policies  are  described  in 

[note 2] of our calendar year 2012 annual consolidated financial statements. 
Actual amounts may vary significantly from estimates used.

Variable Interest Entities

A  VIE  is  any  type  of  legal  structure  not  controlled  by  voting  equity,  but 

rather  by  contractual  and/or  other  financial  arrangements.    Interests  in 

VIEs are consolidated by the company that is the primary beneficiary.  The 

Company’s  interest  in  CWI  is  a VIE  but  it  is  determined  that  there  is  no 

On February 27, 2012, we announced the closing of an offering of common 

shares  of  Westport  (“Common  Shares”),  including  the  exercise  of  the 

underwriters’ over-allotment option in full.  With the exercise of the option, 

we issued a total of 6,325,000 Common Shares under the offering for gross 

primary beneficiary.

Warranty Liability

proceeds of $273.6 million.

Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time we sell our products 

and included in cost of revenue.  We use historical failure rates and costs to 

repair product defects during the warranty period, together with information 

on known products to estimate the warranty liability.  The ultimate amount

payable  and  the  timing  will  depend  on  actual  failure  rates  and  the  actual 

cost  to  repair.    We  review  our  warranty  provision  quarterly  and  record 

adjustments to our assumptions based on the latest information available at 

that time. Since a number of our products are new in the market, historical 

data may not necessarily reflect actual costs to be incurred, and this exposes 

the Company to potentially significant fluctuations in liabilities. New product 

launches  require  a  greater  use  of  judgment  in  developing  estimates  until 

claims  experience  becomes  available.    Product  specific  experience  is 

typically  available  four  or  five  quarters  after  product  launch,  with  a  clear 

experience trend not evident until eight to twelve quarters after launch.  We 

generally record warranty expense for new products upon shipment using 

a factor based upon historical experience from previous engine generations 

in the first year, a blend of actual product and historical experience in the 

second year and product specific experience thereafter. Adjustments to the 

warranty provision are recorded in cost of revenue. 

Revenue Recognition

Our  primary  source  of  revenue  is  from  the  sale  of  kits,  Westport  LNG 

systems  and  parts,  and Westport  CNG  and  LPG  fuel  systems  for  OEMs 

in  the  light-duty  automotive  and  industrial  markets.    Product  and  parts 

revenue is recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to 

the customer.  Revenue also includes fees earned from performing research 

and development activities for third parties, as well as technology license 

fees from third parties.  Revenue from research and development activities 

is  recognized  as  the  services  are  performed.    Revenue  from  technology 

license  fees  is  recognized  over  the  duration  of  the  licensing  agreement.  

Amounts received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met 

are recorded as deferred revenue.

Inventories

Inventories consist of fuel systems, component parts, work-in-progress and 

finished goods associated with our Westport systems.  We carry inventory at 

the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.  In establishing 

whether  or  not  a  provision  is  required  for  inventory  obsolescence,  we 

estimate  the  likelihood  that  inventory  carrying  values  will  be  affected  by 

changes in market demand for our products and by changes in technology, 

which could make inventory on hand obsolete.  We perform regular reviews 

to  assess  the  impact  of  changes  in  technology,  sales  trends  and  other 

changes on the carrying value of inventory.  When we determine that such 

changes have occurred and would have a negative impact on the carrying 

value of inventory on hand, adequate provisions are recorded.  Unforeseen 

changes  in  these  factors  could  result  in  the  recognition  of  additional 

inventory provisions.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 

210):  Disclosures  about  Offsetting  Assets  and  Liabilities  (“ASU  2011-11”). 

ASU  2011-11  enhances  disclosures  regarding  financial  instruments  and 

derivative instruments. Entities are required to provide both net information 

and  gross  information  for  these  assets  and  liabilities  in  order  to  enhance 

comparability between those entities that prepare their financial statements 

on  the  basis  of  U.S.  GAAP  and  those  entities  that  prepare  their  financial 

statements  on  the  basis  of  IFRS.  This  new  guidance  is  to  be  applied 

retrospectively  and  is  effective  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on 

or  after  January  1,  2013  and  interim  periods  within  those  annual  periods.  

The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will expand its

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management’s Report on 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining 

adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in 

Rule  13a-15(f)  promulgated  under  the  Exchange Act.    Our  internal  control 

over financial reporting is designed under our supervision, and affected by 

the  Company’s  board  of  directors,  management,  and  other  personnel,  to 

provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 

and  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements 

for  external  reporting  purposes  in  accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP  and  the 

requirements  of  the  SEC,  as  applicable.    There  are  inherent  limitations 

in  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  including 

the  possibility  that  misstatements  may  not  be  prevented  or  detected.  

Accordingly,  even  effective  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  can 

provide  only  reasonable  assurance  with  respect  to  financial  statement 

preparation. Furthermore, the effectiveness of internal controls can change 

with circumstances.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can 

provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s 

objectives  will  be  met.    Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  in  all  control 

systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all 

control issues have been detected.  The design of any system of controls is 

based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, 

and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its

Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only 

of  the  period  covered  by  the  Original  Filing.   We  have  developed  and  are 

reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and 

implementing remediation plans to address our material weakness.  With 

presentation.

Prior to the filing of our Original Filing, our management, including our CEO 

and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 

reporting  using  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 

Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—

Integrated  Framework.    Based  on  this  assessment,  our  management 

believed  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  effective  based 

on those criteria.  Subsequently, we re-assessed the effectiveness of our 

internal control over financial reporting using the COSO criteria, and based 

on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over 

financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2012.

Management  has  identified  the  following  material  weakness  in  the 

Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31, 

2012.   The  Company  did  not  employ  accounting  staff  with  an  appropriate 

level  of  technical  accounting  knowledge,  experience  and  training  in  the 

application  of  recognition,  measurement  and  disclosure  requirements 

respect to the material weakness described above, we have implemented 

certain remedial procedures to identify the necessary technical expertise in 

reviewing and interpreting complex accounting issues involving significant 

judgment and proper disclosures in our consolidated financial statements in 

accordance with U.S. GAAP.  We are in the process of developing enhanced 

control procedures designed to ensure accounting personnel have adequate 

knowledge  in  assessing  complex  accounting  issues  involving  significant 

judgment and disclosures in our consolidated financial statements through 

training  and  technical  accounting  courses  and  seminars,  and  we  are  in 

the  process  of  recruiting  a  qualified  senior  level  technical  accounting 

professional.  The  material  weakness  cannot  be  considered  remediated 

until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time 

and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are 

operating effectively.

Gross Margin
Gross margin is calculated as revenue less cost of product and parts revenue (excluding any 
depreciation and amortization).  The Company’s gross margin may not be comparable to those of 
other entities because some entities include depreciation and amortization related to products sold 
in cost of sales.

Emer representing a higher proportion of the revenue, and we consolidated 

Emer  for  twelve  months  in  2012  versus  6  months  in  the  comparative 

period. Emer has a higher gross margin percentage relative to OMVL due to

11% of revenue from negative $0.7 million, or negative 3% of revenue for

Summary of Quarterly Results and Discussion 
of the Quarter Ended Dec. 31, 2012

Our  revenues  and  operating  results  can  vary  significantly  from  quarter  to 

quarter depending on the timing of product deliveries, product mix, product 

launch  dates,  research  and  development  project  cycles,  timing  of  related 

government funding and foreign exchange impacts.  Net loss has and can 

vary  significantly  from  one  quarter  to  another  depending  on  operating 

results, gains and losses from investing activities, stock-based compensation 

awards, recognition of tax benefits and other similar events.

Business Risks and Uncertainties
An  investment  in  our  business  involves  risk  and  readers  should  carefully 

consider  the  risks  described  in  our  Annual  Information  Form  and  other 

filings on 

www.sedar. com and www.sec.gov.  Our ability to generate revenue 
and profit from our technologies is dependent on a number of factors, and 

the risks discussed in our Annual Information Form, if they were to occur, 

could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, 

results  of  operation  or  prospects.   While  we  have  attempted  to  identify 

the  primary  known  risks  that  are  material  to  our  business,  the  risks  and 

uncertainties discussed in our Annual Information Form may not be the only 

ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that we

as  15L  unit  sales  decreased  61  units  to  109  units  for  the  quarter  ended 

December 31, 2012 compared to 170 units in the prior year period offset 

by an increase in revenue from the launch of F-250/F-350 bi-fuel Super Duty 

pickup truck.

Short-Term Debt

The  senior  financing  agreement  of  $18.8  million  bears  interest  at  the 

6-month Euribor plus 1.7% with quarterly principal and interest payments.  

The senior revolving facility of $13.2 million bears interest at the 6-month

On  July  2,  2010,  we  acquired  OMVL  and  portion  of  the  purchase  price 

amounting to $10.0 million (€7.6 million) is payable on the third anniversary of 

the closing date.  This amount is non-interest bearing and was discounted at 

market rates of interest on the acquisition date.  The amount is guaranteed 

to the sellers of OMVL by Banca Intesa S.p.A with a cross guarantee from 

the  Bank  of  Montreal  with  a  letter  of  credit  for  $10.6  million  (CDN$10.6

Subordinated Debenture Notes

On September 23, 2011, we raised CDN $36.0 million through the issuance 

of debentures.  The debentures are unsecured and subordinated to senior 

indebtedness, mature on September 22, 2014 and bear interest at 9% per 

annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 

15 of each year during the term, which commenced on March 15, 2012.  We

months ended December 31, 2011.  The $23.1 million increase in net loss

Management’s Responsibility for the  
Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 

consolidated financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted 

accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines 

is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements 

that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial 

statements  based  on  our  audits. We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance 

with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of 

the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States).   Those 

standards  require  that  we  comply  with  ethical  requirements  and  plan 

and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 

consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about 

the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  The 

procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of 

the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 

whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider 

internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of 

the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures 

that are appropriate in the circumstances.  An audit also includes evaluating 

control over financial reporting.

Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
Without  modifying  our  opinion,  we  draw  attention  to  [note  2(a)]  to  the 
consolidated financial statements which indicates the consolidated financial 

statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012, as at and for 

the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011 and for the year ended

reasons for the restatements.

The consolidated financial statements presented here have been prepared

reporting based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public 

Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States).   Those  standards 

require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 

about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was 

maintained  in  all  material  respects.    Our  audit  included  obtaining  an 

understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 

that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and 

operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our 

audit  also  included  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered 

requirements of U.S. GAAP and experience with regulatory requirements.  

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 

to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial 

reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes 

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s

criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by 

the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 

(“COSO”).

The  company  has  implemented  a  system  of  internal  accounting  and 

procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable 

administrative  controls  in  order  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that 

detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 

transactions  are  appropriately  authorized,  assets  are  safeguarded,  and

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material 

respects, the consolidated financial position of Westport Innovations Inc. as at 

December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and its consolidated results of 

operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31,

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts 

and  expenditures  of  the  Company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance 

with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) 

provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of 

unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that 

could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting 

may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation 

of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 

become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 

compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In  our  report  dated  March  6,  2013,  we  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion 

that  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal 

control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2012,  based  on  the 
criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  issued  by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 

(“COSO”).  As described in the following paragraph, a material weakness 

was  subsequently  identified.    As  a  result,  management  has  revised  its 

assessment, as presented in the accompanying Management’s Report on 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, to conclude that the Company’s 

internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  not  effective  as  of  December

1  Company Organization and Operations
Westport  Innovations  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  was  incorporated  under  the 

Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20, 1995.

The  Company  is  a  provider  of  high-performance,  low-emission  engine 

and  fuel  system  technologies  utilizing  gaseous  fuels.    Its  technology  and 

products enable light (<5.9-litre), medium (5.9- to 8.9-litre), heavy-duty (11- 

to 16-litre) and high horsepower (>16-litre) petroleum-based fuel engines to 

use primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner, more plentiful and generally 

less expensive alternative fuel.  

Interests in variable interest entities are consolidated by the Company if the 

Company is the primary beneficiary thereof.

In  previously  filed  annual  and  interim  financial  statements  in  fiscal  2012 

and  2011,  the  Company  had  identified  Cummins  Westport  Inc.  (“CWI”) 

as  a  variable  interest  entity  and  the  Company’s  interest  as  being  that  of 

the  primary  beneficiary  upon  adoption  of  Accounting  Standards  Update 

2009-17,  Consolidation  (Topic  810):  Improvements  to  Financial  Reporting 

by  Enterprises  Involved  with  Variable  Interest  Entities,  (“ASU  2009-17”) 

effective April 1, 2010.  As a result, the Company consolidated CWI on a line 

by line basis in its consolidated financial statements reflecting its financial 

The  Company  is  focused  on  developing  technology  to  enable  more 

position, results of operations and cash flows.

environmentally 

sustainable  engines  without 

compromising 

the 

performance, fuel economy, durability and reliability of diesel engines.  The 

substitution  of  natural  gas  for  petroleum-based  fuel  drives  a  significant 

reduction  in  harmful  combustion  emissions,  such  as  nitrogen  oxides, 

particulate matter and greenhouse gas, in addition to providing an abundant, 

relatively inexpensive alternative fuel.  The Company’s systems can be used 

to enable combustion engines to use gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, 

propane  or  hydrogen.   The  Company’s  research  and  development  effort 

and investment have resulted in a substantial patent portfolio that serves 

as the foundation for its differentiated technology offerings and competitive 

advantage.

2  Significant Accounting Policies
a  Basis of Presentation

Based  on  the  Company’s  ongoing  review  and  adoption  of  the  applicable 

accounting  guidance  in  ASU  2009-17  and  related  interpretations,  the 

Company  concluded  that  CWI  should  be  accounted  for  under  the  equity 

method  because  CWI  continues  to  be  a  VIE  but  there  is  no  primary 

beneficiary.    Accordingly,  commencing  with  the  annual  report  for  the 

year  ended  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  is  recording  the  results  of 

CWI  using  the  equity  method  and  has  restated  its  consolidated  financial 

statements for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 and the 

year  ended  March  31,  2011  on  a  similar  basis.   This  restatement  did  not 

affect the reported amounts of net loss attributable to the Company, loss per 

share or shareholders’ equity but has impacted certain amounts disclosed.  

The  Company’s  interest  in  the  net  assets  of  CWI  is  now  presented  net 

on a single line in other long-term investments on the balance sheet, and 

The  Company  originally  filed  its  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the 

rate  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012  was  1.29  (nine  month  period 

year ended December 31, 2012 reflecting the restatement described above 

on or about March 7, 2013. Subsequent to the date of filing the 2012 annual 

consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  has  identified  additional 

disclosures to assist in understanding the impact of the change in accounting 

ended  December  31,  2011 ▸ 1.40;  July  2,  2010  to  March  31,  2011 ▸ 1.34).  
The year-end exchange rate of the Swedish Krona as at December 31, 2012 

was 0.15 (December 31, 2011 ▸ 0.15) and the average exchange rate for the 
year ended December 31, 2012 was 0.15 (October 12, 2011 to December 

for CWI. See [note 7(b)] and [note 26] for the additional disclosures and the 
effect of the corrections on each financial statement line item for previously 

31, 2011 ▸ 0.15).

issued financial statements.

c  Cash and Cash Equivalents

In addition, the Company identified amounts reclassified from foreign exchange 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash,  term  deposits,  bankers 

loss (gain) to income from investment accounted for by the equity method 

acceptances  and  guaranteed  investment  certificates  with  maturities  of 

for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 ($2,040) and the year 

ninety days or less when acquired.  Cash equivalents are considered as held 

ended March 31, 2011 ($1,042) to be consistent with the revised presentation 

for trading and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in 

of  CWI  and  revised  the  pro  forma  revenue  amounts  for  these  periods  in 

the consolidated statements of operations.

[note 4(a)]  and  [note 4(b)].   The  Company  also  identified  reclassifications  in 
deferred income taxes from non-current to current ($5,639) for balances as 

at  December  31,  2011  [note  20(b)]  and  segmented  information  related  to 
long-lived  assets  information  [note  24]  allocated  by  geographic  areas  as  at 
December  31,  2012  and  December  31,  2011.  Finally,  certain  typographical 

errors have been corrected to ensure consistency of presentation. 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  accordance  with 

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

b  Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement 

presentation  is  the  United  States  dollar.   The  functional  currency  of  the 

Company’s  operations  is  the  Canadian  dollar  except  for  OMVL  and  Emer 

which use the Euro and AFV which uses the Swedish Krona.  The Company 

translates financial statements denominated in a foreign currency into the 

reporting currency using the current rate method. All assets and liabilities 

are translated using the period end exchange rates.  Shareholders’ equity 

balances  are  translated  using  a  weighted  average  of  historical  exchange 

rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated using the monthly average 

rate for the period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other 

comprehensive income.  

d  Short-Term Investments

Short-term  investments,  consisting  of  investment  grade  commercial 

paper,  banker  acceptances,  bearer  deposit  notes,  guaranteed  investment 

certificates and other term deposits, are considered available for sale and 

recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated 

other  comprehensive  income  until  realized.    A  decline  in  value  that  is 

considered other than temporary is recognized in net loss for the period.

e  Accounts and Loans Receivable

Accounts receivable and loans receivable are measured at amortized cost.  

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on a review of specific 

accounts deemed uncollectible.  Account balances are charged against the 

allowance in the period in which it is considered probable that the receivable 

will not be recovered.

Short-term  investments,  consisting  of  investment  grade  commercial 

paper,  banker  acceptances,  bearer  deposit  notes,  guaranteed  investment 

certificates and other term deposits, are considered available for sale and 

recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated 

other  comprehensive  income  until  realized.    A  decline  in  value  that  is 

considered other than temporary is recognized in net loss for the period.

Transactions  that  are  denominated  in  currencies  other  than  the  functional 

currency of the Company or its subsidiaries are translated at the rate in effect 

on  the  date  of  the  transaction.    Foreign  currency  denominated  monetary 

f  Inventories

assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  at  the  exchange  rate  in  effect  on  the 

balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the 

historical exchange rate.  All foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized 

in  the  statement  of  operations,  except  for  the  translation  gains  and  losses 

arising from available-for-sale instruments, which are recorded through other 

comprehensive income until realized through disposal or impairment.

The Company’s inventories consist of the Company’s fuel system products 

(finished  goods),  work-in-progress,  purchased  parts  and  assembled  parts. 

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Cost is 

determined based on the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable 

value.   The  cost  of  fuel  system  product  inventories,  assembled  parts  and 

work-in-progress  includes  materials,  labour  and  production  overhead 

including depreciation.  An inventory obsolescence provision is provided to 

the extent cost of inventory exceeds net realizable value.  In establishing the 

amount  of  the  inventory  obsolescence  provision,  management  estimates 

the  likelihood  that  inventory  carrying  values  will  be  affected  by  changes 

in  market  demand  and  technology,  which  would  make  inventory  on  hand 

obsolete.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, 

its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which 

the Company is considered the primary beneficiary.  All Intercompany balances 

and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

operations. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of CWI previously

basis are summarized in [note 7(b)].  There was no cumulative effect from

j  Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded 

net of government funding received or receivable.

k  Government Assistance

The  Company  periodically  applies  for  financial  assistance  under  available 

government incentive programs, which is recorded in the period it is received 

or receivable.  Government assistance relating to the purchase of property, 

plant and equipment is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets.  

Government  assistance  related  to  research  and  development  activities  is 

recorded as a reduction of the related expenditures.

l  Intangible Assets

Intangible  assets  consist  primarily  of  the  cost  of  intellectual  property, 

trademarks, technology, customer contracts and non-compete agreements.  

Intangible  assets  are  amortized  over  their  estimated  useful  lives,  which 

range from 5 to 20 years.

make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate industry economic 

factors and the profitability of future business strategies.  It is the Company’s 

policy to conduct impairment testing based on its current business strategy 

in light of present industry and economic conditions, as well as its future 

expectations. 

Goodwill is recorded at the time of purchase for the excess of the amount of 

the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities 

assumed.  Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating 

results of underlying assets could result in losses or an inability to recover 

the carrying value of the goodwill, thereby possibly requiring an impairment 

charge.

o  Warranty Liability

Estimated  warranty  costs  are  recognized  at  the  time  the  Company  sells 

its  products  and  are  included  in  cost  of  revenue.   The  Company  provides 

warranty  coverage  on  products  sold  for  a  period  of  two  years  from  the 

date  the  products  are  put  into  service  by  customers.    Warranty  liability 

represents the Company’s best estimate of warranty costs expected to be 

incurred  during  the  warranty  period.    Furthermore,  the  current  portion  of 

warranty  liability  represents  the  Company’s  best  estimate  of  the  costs  to 

be incurred in the next twelve-month period.  The Company uses historical 

contracts  are  deferred  and  amortized  over  the  extended  warranty  period 

commencing at the end of the basic warranty period.  On a periodic basis, 

management reviews the estimated warranty costs expected to be incurred 

related to these contracts and recognizes a loss to the extent such costs

exceed the related deferred revenue.

q  Revenue Recognition

Product  and  parts  revenue  is  recognized  when  the  products  are  shipped 

and  title  passes  to  the  customer.    Revenue  also  includes  fees  earned 

from  performing  research  and  development  activities  for  third  parties,  as 

well as technology license fees from third parties.  Revenue from research 

and  development  activities  is  recognized  as  the  services  are  performed.  

Revenue  from  technology  license  fees  is  recognized  over  the  duration  of 

the  licensing  agreement.    Amounts  received  in  advance  of  the  revenue 

recognition criteria being met are recorded as deferred revenue.

The  Company  also  earns  service  revenue  from  certain  research  and 

development  arrangements  under  which  the  Company  provides  contract 

services  relating  to  developing  natural  gas  engines  or  biogas  engines 

for  use  in  customer  products.    Service  revenue  is  recognized  using  the 

milestone  method  upon  completion  of  project  milestones  as  defined  and 

agreed  to  by  the  Company  and  its  customers.   The  Company  recognizes 

consideration earned from the achievement of a substantive milestone in 

its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved.  The payment 

associated  with  each  milestone  relates  solely  to  past  performance  and  is 

deemed  reasonable  upon  consideration  of  deliverables  and  the  payment 

terms within the contract.  

When an arrangement includes multiple deliverables, the Company allocates 

the  consideration  to  each  separate  deliverable  (unit  of  accounting)  based 

on relative selling prices.  A separate unit of accounting is identified if the 

delivered  item(s)  have  standalone  value  and  the  delivery  or  performance 

of undelivered items is considered probable and within the control of the 

Company.    Revenue  for  each  unit  of  account  is  recognized  in  accordance 

with the above revenue recognition principles.

In  May  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 

(“FASB”) 

issued  Accounting  Standards  Updated  (“ASU”)  No.  2011-04,  Fair  Value 

Measurements  (Topic  820):  Amendments  to  Achieve  Common  Fair Value 

Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, (“ASU 

2011-04”).  ASU  2011-04  changes  the language  used  to  describe  many of 

the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing 

information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between 

U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value 

measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) 

inputs.  This new guidance is to be applied prospectively.  This update was 

effective for the Company on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of this update 

did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 

statement note disclosures.

ii  Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,  Comprehensive Income 

(Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”).  ASU 

2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its 

components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires 

that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a 

single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate 

but consecutive statements.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 

2011-12  (“ASU  2011-12”),  which  defers  certain  requirements  within  ASU 

2011-05.   These  amendments  are  being  made  to  allow  the  FASB  time  to 

redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the 

effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income 

on the components of net income and other comprehensive income in all 

periods presented.  This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively.  This 

update was effective for the Company on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of 

this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 

financial statements.

The  Company  reviews  its  long-lived  assets  for  impairment,  including

iii  Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

In  September  2011,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2011-08,  Intangibles  - 

Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-

08”), which allows an entity to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill 

for impairment.  ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative 

assessment  to  determine  whether  it  is  more-likely-than-not  that  the  fair 

value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  If it is concluded that 

this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step 

goodwill  impairment  test.    Otherwise,  the  two-step  goodwill  impairment 

test is not required.  This update was effective for the Company on January

ASU  2011-11  enhances  disclosures  regarding  financial  instruments  and

and  gross  information  for  these  assets  and  liabilities  in  order  to  enhance 

comparability between those entities that prepare their financial statements 

on  the  basis  of  U.S.  GAAP  and  those  entities  that  prepare  their  financial 

statements  on  the  basis  of  IFRS.    This  new  guidance  is  to  be  applied 

retrospectively  and  is  effective  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on 

or  after  January  1,  2013  and  interim  periods  within  those  annual  periods.  

The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will expand its 

consolidated financial statement note disclosures.

4  Business Combinations
a  Acquisition of Emer

The  Company  recognized  goodwill  associated  with  the  transaction  of

to form Weichai Westport Inc. (“WWI”).  On October 11, 2011, the Company 

invested  an  additional  $955  in  WWI.    The  Company  has  a  35%  equity 

interest in WWI.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized its share of 

WWI’s income of $2,881 (nine months ended December 31, 2011 ▸ $1,438; 
year ended March 31, 2011 ▸ $997), as income from investment accounted 
for by the equity method.

Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of WWI as of and for the periods 

over  the  operating  decisions  and  to  direct  other  activities  of  CWI  that 

most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the 

governing documents.  As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level 

requires  unanimous  approval,  this  power  is  shared.    Accordingly  neither 

party is the primary beneficiary.

On February 20, 2012, the JVA was amended and restated to provide for, among 

other  things,  clarification  concerning  the  scope  of  products  within  CWI.    In 

addition, the parties have revised certain economic terms of the JVA.

The value assigned to issued Units and the amounts accrued are recorded as 

other equity instruments.  As Units are exercised or vest and the underlying 

shares are issued from treasury of the Company, the value is reclassified to 

share capital.

As at December 31, 2012, $11,127 of compensation cost related to Units 

awards  has  yet  to  be  recognized  in  results  from  operations  and  will  be 

recognized over a weighted average period of 1.02 years.

Of  the  Units  granted  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2012,  66,428 

Units were subject to market and service conditions. The fair value of these 

Units was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation using the following 

weighted  average  assumptions:  expected  dividend  yield ▸ nil%;  expected 
stock  price  volatility  ▸  55.95%;  and  risk  free  interest  rate  ▸  0.93%.   The 
valuation model determined the grant date fair value based on assumptions 

about  the  likelihood  of  the  Company  achieving  different  payout  factors  as 

driven by the market conditions.  The weighted average grant date fair value 

was $35.99 for Units granted for the year ended December 31, 2012.  For 

the Units granted after January 1, 2012, payout factors are determined based 

upon the absolute stock price at the end of two years, equal to the closing 

price on the last trading day of December 31, 2013.  One-half of these Units 

vest after two years and the remainder after three years from the date of the 

grant.  The impact of market conditions, if any, on compensation expense for

22 Service and Other Revenue
Service and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted 

of a one-time license revenue of $7,923 for the transfer of proprietary know-

how, other fee payments of $1,414, and service revenue of $13,907 under 

existing development agreements.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an 

agreement with an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) to co-develop 

natural gas technology for off-road equipment, including mining trucks and 

locomotives.  Under the agreement, the Company provided its proprietary

As at December 31, 2012, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Emer 

has provided a total amount of guarantees to third parties of $489 (€371) 

(December  31,  2011  ▸  $771  (€594)),  which  include  guarantees  to  its 
customers for the completion of specific supplies.

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course 

of  business  under  which  it  is  obligated  to  indemnify  a  third  party  with 

respect  to  certain  matters.   Typically,  these  obligations  arise  as  a  result 

of  contracts  for  sale  of  the  Company’s  product  to  customers  where  the 

Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such 

as product liabilities.

The  potential  impact  on  the  Company’s  financial  results  is  not  subject  to 

reasonable  estimation  because  considerable  uncertainty  exists  as  to

25 Financial Instruments
a  Financial Risk Management

The Company has exposure to liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, 

and interest rate risk.

b  Liquidity Risk

c  Credit Risk

Credit  risk  arises  from  the  potential  that  a  counterparty  to  a  financial 

instrument  fails  to  meet  its  contractual  obligations  and  arises  principally 

from  the  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  short-term  investments 

and  accounts  receivable.   The  Company  manages  credit  risk  associated 

with  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments  by  regularly 

consulting  with  its  current  bank  and  investment  advisors  and  investing 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial

obligations as they are due.  The Company has sustained losses and negative

cash  flows  from  operations  since  inception.    At  December  31,  2012,  the

December 31, 2012, the fair value of the long-term debt is higher than its 

carrying value by $70 based on a market interest rate of 2.35%.

The  carrying  value  reported  in  the  balance  sheet  for  senior  financing 

agreements  [note  13(c)]  approximates  its  fair  value  as  at  December  31, 
2012, as the interest rate on the debt is floating and therefore approximates 

the  market  rate  of  interest.   The  Company’s  credit  spread  also  has  not 

substantially changed from the 2.2% premium currently paid.

The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured 

at fair value on a recurring basis into three categories as follows:

Company has $215,860 of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

e) From fiscal 2011 to 2015, inclusive, the Company is obligated to pay annual royalties equal to the 
greater of $1,357 (CDN$1,350) or 0.33% of the Company’s gross annual revenue from all sources, 
provided that gross revenue exceeds CDN$13,500 in any aforementioned fiscal year, up to a maximum 
of $28,333 (CDN$28,189). The Company has assumed the minimum required payments.

The  Company  expects  to  be  able  to  meet  its  future  financial  obligations 

with its current source of funds.  However, there are uncertainties related 

to  the  timing  of  the  Company’s  cash  inflows  and  outflows,  specifically 

around the sale of inventories and amounts required for market and product 

development costs.  These uncertainties include the volume of commercial 

receivable.   As  at  December  31,  2012,  83%  (December  31,  2011 ▸ 83%) 
of accounts receivable relates to customer receivables, 1% (December 31, 

2011 ▸ 1%)  relates  to  government  grants  receivable  and  16%  (December 
31,  2011  ▸  16%)  relates  to  amounts  due  from  joint  venture  and  indirect, 
income  tax  and  value  added  taxes  receivable.    In  order  to  minimize  the 

risk of loss for customer receivables, the Company’s extension of credit to 

customers involves review and approval by senior management as well as 

progress payments as contracts are executed.  Most sales are invoiced with 

payment terms in the range of 30 days to 90 days.  The Company reviews 

its customer receivable accounts and regularly recognizes an allowance for 

doubtful receivables as soon as the account is determined not to be fully 

collectible.  Estimates for allowance for doubtful debts are determined by 

a  customer-by-customer  evaluation  of  collectability  at  each  balance  sheet 

Company’s maximum credit exposure.

d  Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of 

financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency 

investments,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  and  long-term  debt 

that are denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in the 

exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and these foreign currencies.

statements filed on or about February 29, 2012.

The  carrying  value  reported  in  the  balance  sheets  for  obligations  under 

capital lease, which is based upon discounted cash flows, approximates its 

fair value.

The  carrying  value  reported  in  the  balance  sheet  for  the  unsecured 

subordinated debenture notes [note 13(a)] approximates its fair value, based 
on market rates of interest for similar indebtedness. Additionally, the interest 

rate  on  the  notes  approximates  the  interest  rate  being  demanded  in  the 

market for debt with similar terms and conditions.

The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for other long-term payable
