Consolidated financial statements of
Variperm Holdings Ltd.
December 31, 2022 and 2021


    



INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Variperm Holdings Ltd.

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Variperm Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.



In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Variperm Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
Variperm Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") was established as a Canadian corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta on January 20, 2014. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Variperm Energy Services Inc., 2357835 Alberta Ltd., and Pacific Perforating Inc., provides sand control and related downhole products and services to the oilfield and agricultural industries in Western Canada as well as California, USA.
1.    Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises ("ASPE") in Canada and include the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
Change in accounting policy
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company has adopted the amendments to Handbook Section 3400, Revenue (“Section 3400”), which provided additional guidance relating to the accounting for multiple elements of a contract, percentage of completion, determination of principal or agent, and bill and hold transactions.
The application of this amendment does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company’s subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has control and has the right and ability to obtain future economic benefits, and is exposed to the related risks. Control is the continuing power to determine the strategic operating, investing and financing policies of the other entity without the co-operation of others, and may be achieved through voting rights, contractual rights, potential voting rights or a combination thereof.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ASPE requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key components of the consolidated financial statements requiring management to make estimates include the net realizable value of inventories, the useful life of long-lived assets, the potential impairment of goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets, income taxes, the fair value of certain financial instruments and liabilities under legal contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.








Variperm Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
1.    Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consists of accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to Variperm Energy Services Partnership, a shareholder of the Company. Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued. All other financial instruments are reported at amortized cost, and tested for impairment when there are indications of possible impairment. A previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to a maximum of the original impairment. The amount of the write-down and any subsequent reversal is recognized in income in the period realized. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale, or issue of financial instruments which are subsequently measured at fair value, are expensed when incurred. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of all other financial instruments are added to or netted with the cost and are recognized straight-line over the expected life of the instrument.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit in banks, cash on hand and borrowings of a short-term nature through revolving bank facilities.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and market. Work in progress cost consists of direct material and labour. Direct material cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Market is defined as net realizable value.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset are expensed. Depreciation is provided by the Company at rates determined to depreciate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Equipment10 years straight line
Rental tools20 years straight line
Automative5 years straight line
Office equipment5 years straight line
Leasehold improvementsOver the term of the lease
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are trade names and are recorded at cost, which have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized.
Goodwill
The excess cost of assets acquired over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The value of goodwill of individual reporting units is assessed when events occur which indicate that there may have been impairment in the value. Goodwill is assessed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying value of its net assets. Where carrying value exceeds fair value, the carrying value is written down to equal fair value. Fair value of a reporting unit is determined by reference to discounted cash flow estimates, or other methods such as reference to recent market transactions involving similar assets.

December 31, 2022 and 2021
1.    Accounting policies (continued)
Long-lived assets
When events indicate that a decrease in the net recoverable value of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, may have occurred, management assesses the carrying value for indications of impairment. Impairment is tested by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its net recoverable value, the carrying value is written down to equal net recoverable value. The net recoverable value is determined by reference to cash flow estimates. There is no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
Income taxes
The Company uses the future tax method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, temporary differences arising between the tax basis of an asset or liabilities and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate the future income tax liabilities or assets. Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from slotting, seaming, wire-wrap, punch screen, flow control and machining is recognized when the service or product is complete and control is transferred to the customer where contractual arrangements permit, otherwise recognition occurs when products are shipped. All revenues are recognized only when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Any advance payment that the Company receives for products that are to be delivered in the future is deferred on the balance sheet until such time that the product is completed and shipped.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan described in Note 9. The fair value method of accounting is applied for awards and options awarded to directors, officers, employees and providers of service. Compensation is recorded based on the estimated fair value of the option on the grant date. Consideration paid on the exercise of options is recorded as contributed capital. Forfeitures are accounted for as an adjustment to expense when incurred.
Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. One of the Company’s subsidiaries uses the US dollar as their measurement currency which is translated into Canadian dollars on consolidation using the temporal method. The subsidiary is considered to be a fully integrated foreign operation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period in which the transactions take place. Unrealized gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation are included in the consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1.    Accounting policies (continued)
Employee benefit plan
The Company has a defined contribution RRSP plan that all employees can participate in. Employer contributions to the plan are expensed as employees earn the entitlement and contributions are made. Under the plan, the Company matches individual contributions up to a specified percentage of employee's compensation. The total expense under the defined contribution plan was $259,024 ($90,263 in 2021).
Government programs
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governments within Canada and the United States enacted multiple programs to help people and businesses manage their way through the pandemic. The following programs had an impact on the Company:
The federal government’s Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) is a wage subsidy program administered through employers with the goals of keeping employees on company payrolls and avoiding layoffs and terminations, helping to ensure that government run benefit programs were not overwhelmed and getting workers income in a timely fashion. The Company was eligible for $nil in 2022 ($809,943 in 2021) through the CEWS program which has been recorded as a reduction of wage expense.
The federal government's Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”) is a rent subsidy program designed to assist businesses who have seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to meet their rent obligations. The Company was eligible for $nil in 2022 ($189,914 in 2021) through the CERS program. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to record these funds and has recorded them as a reduction of rent expense.
All government program amounts are subject to audit from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and as the Legislation on the programs is new, it is unknown how the CRA may interpret the Law and whether that interpretation may have an impact on the amounts recorded in these financial statements or on the Company in the future.
Business combination
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value and represents the sum of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred to former owners and equity interests issued to them at the acquisition date, in exchange for control of the business. Any liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included in the consideration transferred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially measured at their acquisition-date fair values, with limited exceptions. Acquisition-related costs, other than those related to the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed when incurred.
2.    Business acquisition
On July 23, 2021 the Company acquired the net assets of RGL Reservoir Management (“RGL”) and Pacific Perforating Inc. (“PPI”) for total non-cash consideration of $28,775,399. The purchase price was settled by the issuance of 2,683,334 Class B common shares, representing a 46% interest in the Company.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The purchase price allocation is based on management’s best estimates of fair values of RGL’s and PPI’s assets and liabilities as at July 23, 2021.

The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a third-party appraisal report.

7.    Short term borrowings
The Company has available an operating loan facility authorized to $30,000,000 CAD or $22,815,510 USD, in the form of a demand revolving loan which bears interest at prime plus 0.60% and US base rate plus 0.60% respectively. The prime rate ranged from 2.45% to 6.45% in 2022 and it was 2.45% in 2021. The US base rate ranged from 3.25% to 7.5% in 2022 and it was 3.25% in 2021. The amounts drawn are in CAD and USD, and are repayable in that currency. The facility was set to mature March 21, 2023 but was extended to September 30, 2024 subsequent to year-end. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions for 2022 and 2021.
8.    Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
https://cdn.kscope.io/bc5c93b3b6f578cb7dcbd9a38adc0e61-image_10.jpg
9.    Future income taxes
The Company uses the future income tax method to determine future income tax on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. Future income tax is calculated using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. If expected tax rates change, future income taxes are adjusted to the new rates.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had cumulative loss carryforward of $nil (2021 – $205,595) available to reduce future taxable income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company used $205,595 of loss carryforwards ($986,106 in 2021)
The composition of the net future tax liability consists of:

10.    Share capital (continued)
During the year 44,500 options were granted to employees (45,000 in 2021) and no (nil in 2021) options were forfeited.

https://cdn.kscope.io/bc5c93b3b6f578cb7dcbd9a38adc0e61-image_15a.jpg
On September 1, 2021 the Company granted two employees stock awards. A total of 17,500 Class C common shares were awarded to these employees, which will vest over four years. On each anniversary of the agreement, providing that the employees still work for the Company, 4,375 shares will be issued. During the 2022 year 4,375 (nil in 2021) of these stock awards were issued with a value of $46,900. Dividends on these stock awards paid during the year were $14,989 (nil in 2021).

Variperm Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
12.    Risk management activities
The Company is exposed to financial risks that are managed as follows:
Credit risk
Accounts receivable include balances from a large number of customers. The Company assesses the credit worthiness of its customers on an on-going basis as well as monitoring the amount and age of balances outstanding. Accordingly, the Company views the credit risk associated with these amounts as normal for the industry. Primarily all of the Company's trade receivables are from customers in or related to the oil and gas industry. At year-end, four customers (three in 2021) accounted for 55% (60% in 2021) of trade accounts receivable. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $nil on outstanding trade receivables ($nil in 2021).
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the consequences of interest rate changes on the Company's cash flow, financial position and earnings. The risk relates primarily to the Company's short-term borrowings financed at floating rates of interest. Management monitors interest rate trends and will fix rates or enter into hedging transactions as deemed necessary. No derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes are outstanding at year-end. Based on the outstanding balance at year-end, if prime changed by 1%, it would impact earnings by $123,000.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Cash flow from operations provides a substantial portion of the Company's cash requirements. Additional cash requirements are met with the use of the available credit facilities. The available credit facility provides flexibility in the short-term to meet operational needs and bridge long-term financing.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has currency risk relating to purchases and sales of product in foreign currencies. Management monitors the prevailing exchange rates and has the ability to enter into derivative contracts to attempt to mitigate currency risk if deemed appropriate. At year end the Company has no forward contracts in place.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
September 30, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
Variperm Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") was established as a Canadian corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta on January 20, 2014. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Variperm Energy Services Inc., 2357835 Alberta Ltd., and Pacific Perforating Inc., provides sand control and related downhole products and services to the oilfield and agricultural industries in Western Canada as well as California, USA.
1.    Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for private enterprises ("ASPE") in Canada and include the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company’s subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has control and has the right and ability to obtain future economic benefits, and is exposed to the related risks. Control is the continuing power to determine the strategic operating, investing and financing policies of the other entity without the co-operation of others, and may be achieved through voting rights, contractual rights, potential voting rights or a combination thereof.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ASPE requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Key components of the consolidated financial statements requiring management to make estimates include the net realizable value of inventories, the useful life of long-lived assets, the potential impairment of goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets, income taxes, the fair value of certain financial instruments and liabilities under legal contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consists of accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to Variperm Energy Services Partnership, a shareholder of the Company. Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued. All other financial instruments are reported at amortized cost, and tested for impairment when there are indications of possible impairment. A previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to a maximum of the original impairment. The amount of the write-down and any subsequent reversal is recognized in income in the period realized. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale, or issue of financial instruments which are subsequently measured at fair value, are expensed when incurred. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of all other financial instruments are added to or netted with the cost and are recognized straight-line over the expected life of the instrument.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit in banks, cash on hand and borrowings of a short-term nature through revolving bank facilities.

1.    Accounting policies (continued)
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and market. Work in progress cost consists of direct material and labour. Direct material cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Market is defined as net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset are expensed. Depreciation is provided by the Company at rates determined to depreciate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Equipment10 years straight line
Rental tools20 years straight line
Automative5 years straight line
Office equipment5 years straight line
Leasehold improvementsOver the term of the lease
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are trade names and are recorded at cost, which have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized.
Goodwill
The excess cost of assets acquired over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The value of goodwill of individual reporting units is assessed when events occur which indicate that there may have been impairment in the value. Goodwill is assessed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying value of its net assets. Where carrying value exceeds fair value, the carrying value is written down to equal fair value. Fair value of a reporting unit is determined by reference to discounted cash flow estimates, or other methods such as reference to recent market transactions involving similar assets.
Long-lived assets
When events indicate that a decrease in the net recoverable value of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, may have occurred, management assesses the carrying value for indications of impairment. Impairment is tested by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its net recoverable value, the carrying value is written down to equal net recoverable value. The net recoverable value is determined by reference to cash flow estimates. There is no impairment for the period ended September 30, 2023 or year ended December 31, 2022.
Income taxes
The Company uses the future tax method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, temporary differences arising between the tax basis of an asset or liabilities and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate the future income tax liabilities or assets. Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

1.    Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
Revenue from slotting, seaming, wire-wrap, punch screen, flow control and machining is recognized when the service or product is complete and control is transferred to the customer where contractual arrangements permit, otherwise recognition occurs when products are shipped. All revenues are recognized only when evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Any advance payment that the Company receives for products that are to be delivered in the future is deferred on the balance sheet until such time that the product is completed and shipped.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan described in Note 9. The fair value method of accounting is applied for awards and options awarded to directors, officers, employees and providers of service. Compensation is recorded based on the estimated fair value of the option on the grant date. Consideration paid on the exercise of options is recorded as contributed capital. Forfeitures are accounted for as an adjustment to expense when incurred.
Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. One of the Company’s subsidiaries uses the US dollar as their measurement currency which is translated into Canadian dollars on consolidation using the temporal method. The subsidiary is considered to be a fully integrated foreign operation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period in which the transactions take place. Unrealized gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation are included in the consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings.
Employee benefit plan
The Company has a defined contribution RRSP plan that all employees can participate in. Employer contributions to the plan are expensed as employees earn the entitlement and contributions are made. Under the plan, the Company matches individual contributions up to a specified percentage of employee's compensation. The total expense under the defined contribution plan was $367,032 ($259,024 in 2022).

6.    Short-term borrowings
The Company has available an operating loan facility authorized to $30,000,000 CAD or $23,814,589 USD, in the form of a demand revolving loan which bears interest at prime plus 0.60% and US base rate plus 0.60% respectively. The prime rate ranged from 6.45% to 7.2% in 2023 and 2.45% to 6.45% in 2022. The US base rate ranged from 7.5% to 8.5% in 2023 and 3.25% to 7.5% in 2022.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions throughout September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
7.    Future income taxes
At period-end, the future tax liability relates to higher accounting carrying values for property and equipment than tax values. The difference is due to different rates of depreciation allowed for tax than are used for accounting.

(four in 2022) accounted for 23% (55% in 2022) of trade accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts as at September 30, 2023 is $nil ($nil at December 31, 2022).

(Unaudited)
10.    Risk management activities (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the consequences of interest rate changes on the Company’s cash flow, financial position and earnings. The risk relates primarily to the Company’s operating facility at floating rates of interest. Management monitors interest rate trends and will fix rates or enter into hedging transactions as deemed necessary. No derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes are outstanding at period end. At period end, the operating facility was undrawn.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Cash flow from operations provides a substantial portion of the Company’s cash requirements. Additional cash requirements are met with the use of the available credit facilities. The available credit facility provides flexibility in the short-term to meet operational needs and bridge long-term financing.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has currency risk relating to purchases and sales of product in foreign currencies. Management monitors the prevailing exchange rates and has the ability to enter into derivative contracts to attempt to mitigate currency risk if deemed appropriate. At period end the Company has no forward contracts in place.
Market risk
The Company’s primary customer base is involved in the oil and gas sector in Western Canada and as such the Company’s revenues are exposed to fluctuations in prices for natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids. Commodity prices are affected by many factors including supply, demand and the Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate.
Insurance
The Company purchases discretionary insurance to cover property damage, business interruption and liability risk of loss exposure.
11.    Related parties
The Company rents property from Nurco Holdings Ltd. which is owned by James Nurcombe (Company’s Founder and Chairman). These transactions were made in the normal course of business and have been recorded at the exchange amounts. The amount paid for rent was $360,473 for the period ended September 30, 2023 and $480,630 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Amounts due to Variperm Energy Services Inc., a shareholder of the Company, are non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment.

12.    Reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles
These consolidated financial statements for nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with ASPE which differs in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements are reported in Canadian dollars and the effects of price level changes and foreign currency translations are not considered in this reconciliation.

Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Introduction

    On November 1, 2023, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forum”) and Forum Canada ULC, an Alberta corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum (the “Purchaser”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) Variperm Holdings Ltd., an Alberta corporation (“Variperm”), (ii) Variperm Energy Services Partnership, an Alberta general partnership (“VES Partnership”), (iii) Jamie Olson, a resident of Alberta (“Olson”), (iv) Elise Robertson, a resident of Alberta (“Robertson”), (v) Slotting RemainCo Limited Partnership, an Alberta limited partnership (“RemainCo” and together with VES Partnership, Olson and Robertson, the “Sellers”), and (vi) VES Partnership in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Variperm (the “Transaction”) on January 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and Variperm became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.
    The base purchase price for the Transaction was (i) 2.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Forum (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) an amount of cash equal to $150.3 million (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments for cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses and working capital as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Cash Consideration was funded from cash on hand, borrowings under the ABL facility (as defined herein), and the Seller Term Loan (as defined herein) (collectively, the “Debt Financing”).
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Forum in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, is derived from:
the historical audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in Forum’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022;
the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, included in Forum’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023;
the historical audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 of Variperm, incorporated as Exhibit 99.1 herein Forum’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A; and
the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of Variperm, incorporated as Exhibit 99.2 herein Forum’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
    The historical financial statements of Forum and Variperm have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events which are necessary to account for the Transaction and the Debt Financing, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
    The Transaction is accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Forum assumed as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the total consideration will be allocated to Variperm’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the Closing Date. The process of valuing the net assets of Variperm at the Closing Date, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is preliminary and represents Forum’s current best estimate of fair value and is subject to revision.



    As a result of the foregoing, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the preliminary information available and management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual purchase accounting assessment may vary based on final analyses of the valuation of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed.
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transaction and the Debt Financing been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.
    The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Transaction and the Debt Financing, which includes adjustments for the following:
Certain reclassifications and U.S. GAAP adjustments to conform Variperm’s historical financial statement presentation to Forum’s presentation and accounting policies.
Application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 and to reflect estimated consideration of approximately $194.6 million.
Proceeds and uses of the drawdown from the Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined herein) and Seller Term Loan (as defined herein) entered in connection with the Transaction; and
Non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the Transaction.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information.
    Forum’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). Variperm’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada (“ASPE”) and presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”). The financial information of Variperm has been translated from CAD to USD including certain reclassifications and U.S. GAAP adjustments to conform Variperm’s historical financial statement presentation to Forum’s financial statement presentation.     
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Forum assumed as the accounting acquirer and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Forum and Variperm. Under ASC 805, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed Closing Date fair value, while transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of Transaction consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.
    The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is presented as if the Transaction and the Debt Financing had occurred on September 30, 2023, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, give effect to the Transaction and the Debt Financing as if they occurred on January 1, 2022.
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Transaction and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent Forum’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Forum believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There are no material transactions between Forum and Variperm during the periods presented.
For purposes of preparing the pro forma financial information, the historical financial information of Variperm and related pro forma adjustments was translated from CAD to USD using the following historical exchange rates:
Closing exchange rate as of September 30, 20230.7361
Average exchange rate for the nine-months ended September 30, 20230.7431
Average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 20220.7688
These exchange rates may differ from future exchange rates which would have an impact on the pro forma financial information and would also impact purchase accounting.
Note 2. Description of the Debt Financing

Seller Term Loan

    Forum entered into the Second Lien Seller Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Seller Term Loan”) by and among Forum, as borrower, the Sellers and certain of the option holders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), as lenders (the “Lenders”), and VES Partnership, as administrative and collateral agent for each of the Lenders. Pursuant to the Seller Term Loan, Forum borrowed $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term Loans”), which mature in December 2026. The Term Loans bear interest at the rate of (i) 11.0% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 17.0% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 17.5% per annum for the period commencing on the second
6



anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date. Forum incurred approximately $1.5 million in fees in connection with the Seller Term Loan.
Credit Agreement Amendment

    Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, Forum entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2017 (as amended, restated and supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), among Forum, as borrower, the other borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties named therein. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Credit Agreement (i) was modified to, among other things, (a) permit the incurrence of new secured notes in an amount not to exceed $200.0 million and (b) update the CDOR provisions with Term CORRA and (ii) was modified as of the Closing Date, to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to September 8, 2028, (b) permit the Transaction, (c) permit the incurrence of the Seller Term Loan in an amount not to exceed $60.0 million, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and (d) increase the aggregate revolving commitments from $179.0 million to $250.0 million. The financing commitments under the Credit Agreement (the “ABL facility”) are subject to various customary conditions set forth therein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects that Forum borrowed $90.0 million under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Transaction. Forum incurred approximately $1.4 million in fees in connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment.
Note 3. Reclassification and U.S. GAAP Adjustments

    During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of Variperm’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies compared to those of Forum’s and differences in financial statement presentation compared to the presentation of Forum. At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, other than the adjustments described herein, Forum is not aware of any other material differences. However, Forum will continue to perform its detailed review of Variperm’s accounting policies, including compliance with U.S. GAAP standards. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that when confirmed could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

Transaction Adjustments

    The Transaction is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their Closing Date fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, if any, recorded as goodwill.
10



(A) The accounting for the Transaction is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. The final accounting for the Transaction may differ materially from that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustment reflects the impact of the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration and all transaction expenses. Refer to the following table for the computation of the preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred:
(in thousands, except share count and per share data) 
Forum shares issued (1)
2,000,000
Forum common stock price (2)
$22.11
Equity portion of consideration44,220
Cash consideration (3)

Fair value of consideration transferred$194,568
(1) Forum shares issued for Variperm’s common stock outstanding as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
(2) Forum common stock price per share as of January 4, 2024.
(3) Cash consideration includes settlement of Variperm’s options that vested and were settled as part of the Transaction.
    The following table summarizes the preliminary accounting for the Transaction:

Fair value of consideration transferred$194,568
*Adjusted for rounding difference
    The determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets of Variperm and the allocation of the estimated consideration to these identifiable assets and liabilities is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Forum has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final Transaction consideration allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary estimated Transaction consideration allocation presented herein. Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total Transaction consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company statements of comprehensive income (loss) due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets.
