Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited Deloitte LLP 2000 Manulife Place 10180 - 101 Street Edmonton AB T5J 4E4 Canada Tel: 780-421-3611 Fax: 780-421-3782 www.deloitte.ca Independent Auditor’s Report To the Directors of CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of July 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2017, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. 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 International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements July 31, 2017, July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) Page 7 1. Description of business and reorganization CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 19, 1991 under the Alberta Business Corporations Act and is primarily engaged in investing. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is 5918 Roper Rd NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6B 3E1. The Company was the general partner of CCI Thermal Technologies Partnership (the “Partnership”), up to and including July 31, 2016. Effective August 1, 2016, the Company and the Partnership completed a reorganization whereby the limited partners of the Partnership, CCI Thermal Technologies Employees Inc. (“Employees”) and Camary Holdings Ltd. (“Camary”), each exchanged their interest in the Partnership for an equivalent interest in the Company, on a tax deferred basis under Section 85 of the Income Tax Act (Canada). As a result, the Partnership was dissolved and the net assets and business of the Partnership were transferred to the Company. Employees and Camary exchanged their interests in the Partnership for common shares of the Company. Refer to Note 14 for details on the reorganization transaction. Prior to August 1, 2016, the Company was wholly owned by Rocor Holdings Ltd. (“Rocor”). Subsequent to August 1, 2016, Employees, Camary and Rocor own 150 Class A common shares, 425 Class A common shares and 425 Class A common shares of the Company, respectively. Management has determined that IFRS 3, Business Combinations, does not apply as the reorganization transaction is considered a common control transaction whereby the entities included in the reorganization (i.e. the Company and the Partnership) are ultimately controlled by the same parties before and after the reorganization and there has been no substantive change in ownership. Instead, management has applied the continuity of business method whereby the assets and liabilities of the entities included in the reorganization are recorded at their existing carrying values rather than fair value, no goodwill is recorded and the comparative periods have been restated (except for number of shares) as if the reorganization had taken place at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in engineering and manufacturing a wide array of heating and filtration products for industrial and hazardous area applications. 2. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance a) Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented. These consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) on January 15, 2018. b) Basis of measurement The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost model, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. c) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.


 
CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements July 31, 2017, July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) Page 8 2. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance (continued) c) Functional and presentation currency (continued) In preparing the financial statements of each subsidiary within the group, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non- monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations in the U.S. are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. d) Principles of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and continue to be consolidated until the date control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CCI Thermal Technologies Delaware, Inc., CCI Thermal Technologies Texas, Inc. and CCI Thermal Technologies Colorado Inc. The Company has applied uniform accounting policies throughout all consolidated entities and reporting dates of the subsidiaries are all consistent with the Company. e) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities reported each period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and judgments are outlined in Note 5. 3. Significant accounting policies a) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank, less outstanding cheques, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. b) Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Significant accounting policies (continued) c) Inventories Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost basis. The cost of work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. d) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The costs of major refurbishments, overhauls or replacements are capitalized when it is probable the future economic benefits will be realized by the Company and the associated carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as incurred. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are recorded as finance lease assets within property and equipment. Land is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recorded by the Company at rates determined to depreciate the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows: Aircraft 25% declining balance Automotive 30% declining balance Building 4% declining balance Computer hardware 30% declining balance Furniture and fixtures 20%-30% declining balance Leasehold improvements Straight-line over term of the lease Shop equipment 20%-30% declining balance Tools and dies 50% straight-line The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. e) Intangible assets Intangible assets with finite useful lives are recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is recorded by the Company at rates determined to amortize the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Patent - Caloritech Straight-line over 180 months Patents - 3L Filters Straight-line over various terms ranging from 149 to 192 months Patents - Fastrax Straight-line over 180 months Trademark - 3L Filters Straight-line over 120 months Trademark - Ruffneck Straight-line over 120 months Trademark - Flo-Dri Straight-line over 120 months Trademark - Fastrax Straight-line over 120 months Trademark - Hovey Straight-line over 120 months Computer software 30% declining balance The estimated useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Significant accounting policies (continued) f) Goodwill Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the purchase price of a business acquisition over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business, at the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash- generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at July 31 and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each group of CGUs to which goodwill relates. The groups of CGUs represent the lowest level within the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and are not larger than an operating segment. When the recoverable amount of a group of CGUs is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not reversed in future periods. g) Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, primarily consist of property and equipment and finite life intangible assets, and are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Internal factors, such as budgets and forecasts, as well as external factors such as expected future prices, costs and other market factors, are monitored to determine if indications of impairment exist. An impairment loss is the amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Value in use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. A cash- generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is a possible reversal of previously recognized impairment losses. h) Financial instruments All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurements of financial instruments are based on their classification.


 
CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements July 31, 2017, July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) Page 11 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) h) Financial instruments (continued) The Company classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less a provision for impairment. Accounts receivable are reduced by provisions for estimated bad debts, which are determined by reference to past experience and expectations. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost All financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate amortization and gains or losses on derecognition of the financial liabilities are recognized in finance costs on the consolidated statements of income. Derecognition A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or when the Company transfers its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and the associated risks and rewards to a third party. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses impairment of all its financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost. Financial assets, other than those at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (“FVTPL”), are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each financial reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy of financial re-organization; or, the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. Classification Financial instrument Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss None Loans and receivables Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Other receivables including due from shareholders Held-to-maturity investments None Available-for-sale financial assets None Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Other liabilities including due to shareholders


 
CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. Notes to the consolidated financial statements July 31, 2017, July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) Page 12 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) h) Financial instruments (continued) Impairment of financial assets (continued) For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. i) Fair value measurement The Company determines the fair value of items classified as fair value according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument. Level 1 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Level 3 Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. Currently no items are classified as fair value through profit or loss. j) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided, net of trade discounts and sales based taxes. The Company recognizes revenue when significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have transferred to the buyer, normally being when delivery has occurred, the Company retains no continuing managerial involvement or control over the goods, the price to the buyer is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue on contracts that extend beyond one year are recognized upon delivery using the percentage-of-completion method which is measured by the percentage-of-costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for each of the contracts. Any billings in excess of revenue calculated by the percentage-of-completion method are deemed unearned and are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial position. Cost of sales includes all direct material labour, subcontract costs and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labour, supplies, small tools and repairs. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance and job conditions may result in revisions to revenues and costs and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Significant accounting policies (continued) k) Income taxes Corporate income taxes are accounted for using the deferred income taxes method. Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arise from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for business combination. l) Leases Leases are classified as either operating or finance based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. Finance leases are capitalized at lease commencement at the lower of the asset fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Finance lease obligations are included in long-term liabilities. Operating leases are leases other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. m) Provisions Provision are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. The timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. Each obligation is discounted to present value using the expected future cash flow at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Future accounting standard pronouncements The following new standards have been issued by the IASB, but are not effective for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), was issued by the IASB on July 24, 2014, and will replace IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 utilizes a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value and a new mixed measurement model for debt instruments having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Final amendments released on July 24, 2014, also introduce a new expected loss impairment model and limited changes to the classification and measurement requirements for financial assets. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and amendments on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts and Customers (“IFRS 15”), was issued by the IASB on May 24, 2014, and will replace IAS 18 – Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts and related interpretations on revenue. IFRS 15 sets out the requirements for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts and customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of the standard on leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. IFRS 15 uses a control based approach to recognize revenue which is a change from the risk and reward approach under the current standard. Specifically, IFRS 15 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: i. Identify the contract with a customer; ii. Identify the performance obligation in the contract; iii. Determine the transaction price; iv. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; v. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Companies can elect to use either a full or modified retrospective approach when adopting this standard and it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 16, Leases IFRS 16 - Leases (“IFRS 16”), was issued by the IASB on January 13, 2016, and will replace IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 will bring most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and financing leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted if IFRS 15 has also been applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. Estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. a) Percentage completion Judgment used to determine percentage of completion for long-term contracts, specifically related to completion of milestones in order to recognize revenue. Given that the expected period of contract revenue is based on judgment, future results could be affected if management’s current assessment of its estimated completed milestones differ from actual performance. b) Property and equipment As part of the capitalization process, management must estimate the expected period of benefit over which capitalized costs should be depreciated. The considerations for estimated useful lives include the timing of technological obsolescence and competitive pressures, as well as historical experience and internal business plans for the projected use of related assets. Given that the expected period of benefit is an estimate, future results could be affected if management’s current assessment of its property and equipment’s useful lives differs from actual performance. c) Cash-generating unit For the purpose of assessing impairment of non-financial assets, the Company must determine its CGUs. Assets and liabilities are grouped into CGUs at the lowest level of separately identified cash flows. Determination of what constitutes a CGU is subject to management judgment. The asset composition of a CGU can directly impact the recoverability of assets included within the CGU. Management has determined that the appropriate CGUs for the Company are by geographical location. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimating uncertainty at the consolidated statement of financial position date that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below: a) Allowance for doubtful accounts receivables At the end of each reporting period, management reviews the accounts receivable balances and assesses recoverability based on the aging of outstanding balances, historical bad debt experience, indicators of changes in customer credit worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms, to identify and determine the extent of impairment, if any. Accordingly, management establishes an allowance for estimated losses arising from non-payment and other sales adjustments, taking into consideration individual customer credit worthiness, current economic trends as well as past experience. If future collections differ from estimates, future earnings would be affected.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) b) Goodwill impairment The Company tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs, to which the goodwill is allocated, exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. Management estimates expected future cash flows from each CGU, or group of CGUs, in determining the value in use. Management makes assumptions about future operating results and performs sensitivity testing of key assumptions in the process of measuring expected future cash flows which are based on future events and circumstances. c) Inventory valuation Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In estimating the net realizable value, management considers evidence, such as aging of the inventory, current sales prices, vendor price lists, available at the time in determining the net realizable values of the inventories. d) Business combinations The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting to business combinations which involves the allocation of the cost of an acquisition to the underlying net assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. The Company uses valuation techniques in determining fair values of the various elements of a business combination, including intangible assets, based on future expected cash flows and a discount rate. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding cash flow projections, economic risks and weighted average cost of capital. If future events or results differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future. 6. Investment in CCI Thermal Technologies Employees Inc. Effective July 28, 2016, the Company transferred its preferred share investment in Employees, having a carrying value of $366, to Rocor for consideration comprising 5,467 Class Q, redeemable, retractable preferred shares of Rocor with a total redemption value of $5,576. The difference of $5,210 between the consideration received and the carrying value of the investment disposed of has been recorded as a gain on disposition of investment in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. On July 29, 2016, the Company redeemed the 5,467 Class Q preferred shares of Rocor in exchange for a non-interest bearing demand promissory note in the amount of $5,576. This was a tax deferred transaction under Section 85(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). These are non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Business acquisition On December 16, 2016, the Company completed the transaction with the shareholders of Hovey Industries (2005) Inc. (“Hovey”), to purchase the assets of the business for an aggregate cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $3,749. Goodwill on acquisition was attributable to the synergies and growth opportunity of the combined operations. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The results of Hovey’s operations are included in these consolidated financial statements for the period since the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows: Total $ Current assets (including cash of $1) 400 Property and equipment 50 Patent 1,300 Goodwill 2,000 Net assets 3,750 8.

As indicated in Note 1, the Company and the Partnership completed a reorganization whereby the limited partners of the Partnership, Employees and Camary, each exchanged their interest in the Partnership for an equivalent interest in the Company, on a tax deferred basis under Section 85 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) through a series of transactions as follows:  Effective August 1, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company passed a resolution to increase the paid up capital of the outstanding 425 Class A common shares owned by Rocor by $19,450. As such, $19,450 was transferred from retained earnings to share capital.  Effective August 1, 2016, the limited partners of the Partnership, Employees and Camary (collectively the “Limited Partners”), each exchanged their interest in the Partnership, having an aggregate carrying value of $32,307, for an equivalent interest in the Company, comprised of 150 Class A common shares and 425 Class A common shares with an aggregate adjusted cost base of $31,852, respectively. An adjustment of $455 was credited to retained earnings. During the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company declared dividends of nil (2016 - $7,793; 2015 - nil) and paid distributions to the partners of the Partnership of nil (2016 - $7,392; 2015 - $17,455). With respect to the $7,793 of dividends declared in 2016, $5,576 of the dividends payable were paid by cancellation of the promissory note receivable due from Rocor (Note 6) and the remaining balance of $2,217 was credited to advances from Rocor. As these are non-cash transactions, they have been excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Financial instruments Financial instruments consist of recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and other like-amounts that result in future cash receipts as well as accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other like-amounts that will result in future cash outlays. Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments is the amount that would be agreed to in arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no obligation to act. Fair value can be determined by reference to prices in active markets to which the Company has access. In the absence of active markets, the Company determines fair value based on market or by reference to other similar products. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts payables and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to their short terms to maturity. The fair values of the amounts due from and to shareholders cannot be estimated with sufficient reliability given that the balances originated in transactions with related parties, have no fixed repayment dates and no market exists for financial instruments of this type. Financial risk management The significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. Management reviews these risks on an ongoing basis to ensure that the risks are appropriately managed. The Company had no derivatives outstanding at July 31, 2017 or July 31, 2016. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non- performance by counterparties in connection with its accounts receivable. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the accounts receivable subject to credit risk but mitigates this risk by dealing only with what management believes to be financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance. The Company’s exposure to credit risk in respect of its cash and cash equivalents is not significant as the balance is highly liquid, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and held with major Canadian chartered banks that management assesses to be financially sound.

Financial instruments (continued) Credit risk (continued) The Company does not believe it has significant exposure to any individual customer or counterpart because it monitors the financial conditions of its customers and reviews the current history of each new customer or unusual level of customer credit risk. The aging analysis of accounts receivables is as follows: 2017 2016 $ $ 0 to 30 days 6,253 4,138 31 to 60 days 3,966 2,890 61 to 90 days 901 800 Over 90 days 2,148 874 Trade accounts receivable 13,268 8,702 Allowance for doubtful accounts (100) (126) Trade receivables, net of allowance 13,168 8,576 Other receivables 398 397 13,566 8,973 The movement in the Company’s allowance for doubtful account is as follows: 2017 2016 2015 $ $ $ Balance, beginning of the year 126 141 227 Receivables written off during the year (53) (101) (169) Recovery of previous written off balances (117) (127) (217) Additional allowance for doubtful accounts 144 213 300 Balance, end of the year 100 126 141 Foreign exchange risk The Company has operations in both Canada and the US. Foreign exchange risk therefore arises from the translation of the Company’s US operations at year-end. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to mitigate its foreign currency risk.

Capital management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to provide an adequate return to partners and preserve financial flexibility in order to benefit from potential opportunities that may arise. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities requires following the internally determined capital guideline based on risk management policies. For its own purpose, the Company defines capital as shareholders’ equity. The capital structure at July 31, 2017, was as follows: 2017 2016 $ $ Shareholders' equity 67,350 56,184 In managing the shareholders’ equity, adjustments may be made to the capital structure in light of external influences such as changing economic conditions, externally-imposed capital requirements, or the presence of opportunities for further development. The amount to be paid to shareholders and the nature of financing of new assets are determinations made within the risk-based guidelines established.
