Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Westport Fuel Systems Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (and subsidiaries) (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 17, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in note 4(a) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policies for leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of ASC 842, Leases.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Westport Fuel Systems Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Westport Fuel Systems Inc.’s (and subsidiaries’) (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 17, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars except share and per share amounts) |
Years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 |
1. Company organization and operations:
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20, 1995. The Company engineers, manufactures and supplies alternative fuel systems and components for use in transportation applications on a global basis. The Company's components and systems control the pressure and flow of gaseous alternative fuels, such as propane and natural gas used in internal combustion engines.
2. Liquidity and going concern:
In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, 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 within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Generally, to be considered probable of being effectively implemented, the plans must have been approved before the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Management's evaluation has concluded that there are no known or currently foreseeable conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. These consolidated financial statements have therefore been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2019, the Company's net working capital was $53,591 (2018 - $64,436) including cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $46,012 (2018 - $61,119), and long-term debt, including the royalty payable, was $67,137, of which $19,503 matures in 2020. The Company generated net income from continuing operations of $188 (2018 - loss of $40,770) and net cash flow used in continuing operating activities was $15,685 (2018 - cash used in continuing operating activities of $27,437). The Company has an accumulated deficit of $998,320 (2018 - accumulated deficit of $998,361).
The Company continues to work towards its goal of increasing profitability while growing its businesses, which can be seen in the improved results from operations and operating cash flows in 2018 and 2019. The resolution of the SEC investigation in September 2019 has assisted the Company in improving its operating results going forward by redirecting management's attention to strategic and operational matters, and by significantly reducing legal and advisory costs incurred in relation to the investigation.
As part of its on-going monitoring of financial condition, management is closely evaluating the Company's debt service requirements, in particular, its $17,500 convertible debt which matures on June 1, 2021. This debt is convertible into common shares at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $2.17 per common share. Below this price, the Company would have to repay the principal amount in cash. See note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details of debt service requirements and the convertible debt.
Management is also evaluating foreseeable future cash flows from the Cummins Westport joint venture investment, as the joint venture term is scheduled to end on December 31, 2021. The joint venture pays significant dividends to the joint venture partners, with Westport receiving $25,045 as dividends in 2019 (2018 - $23,191). As per the joint venture agreement, both Cummins Inc. and the Company have equal rights to the joint venture’s intellectual property. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to monetize the intellectual property to the level of the current dividends received from the joint venture. See note 8 (a) for additional details related to the Cummins Westport joint venture.

2. Liquidity and going concern (continued):
Management is closely evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business. The Company has significant operations in Italy where there has been a large number of cases. The Company also sources components from China. At this time, management does not see a material impact to its business, however, the situation is evolving and could become material if the supply chain disruption is prolonged or end customer demand declines.
Management believes that the cash on hand at December 31, 2019 and, the continued improvements in operational performance will provide the cash flow necessary to fund operations over the next year to March 2021. The ability to continue as a going concern beyond March 2021 will be dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations, successful conversion of or refinancing of the convertible debt, effective management of the Cummins Westport joint venture transition and on the Company's ability to finance its long term strategic objectives and operations (specifically the growth of the HPDI business). If, as a result of future events, the Company was to determine it was no longer able to continue as a going concern, significant adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the accompanying, consolidated financial statements and the adjustments could be material.
3. Significant accounting policies:
(a) Basis of presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

As at June 30, 2018, the Company concluded that Argentina's economy is highly inflationary. As a result, the Company remeasured the financial statements of the Argentinian subsidiary in the Company's reporting currency beginning July 1, 2018.
Except as otherwise noted, all amounts in these financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. For the periods presented, the Company used the following exchange rates:

(c)Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash):
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, term deposits, bankers acceptances and guaranteed investment certificates with maturities of ninety days or less when acquired. Cash equivalents are considered as held for trading and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2019 and 2018 include restricted cash of $2,279 and $5,095. Restricted cash at December 31, 2019 related to cash used to secure a letter of credit. Restricted cash of $5,095 at December 31, 2018 was related to the Export Development Canada ("EDC") loan and was released on March 1, 2019 as a result of achieving certain milestones (note 14(a)).
(d) Accounts receivable, net:
Accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
(e) Inventories:
The Company’s inventories consist of the Company’s fuel system products (finished goods), work-in-progress, purchased parts and assembled parts. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined based on the lower of weighted average cost or first-in, first-out. The cost of fuel system product inventories, assembled parts and work-in-progress includes materials, labour and production overhead, including depreciation. The Company records inventory write-downs based on an analysis of excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. In addition, the Company records a liability for firm, noncancelable, and unconditional purchase commitments with manufacturers for quantities in excess of the Company’s future demand forecast consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(f) Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for as follows:
|
| | | | |
Assets | | Basis | | Rate |
Buildings | | Straight-line | | 20 years |
Computer equipment and software | | Straight-line | | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | Straight-line | | 5 years |
Machinery and equipment | | Straight-line | | 8 – 10 years |
Leasehold improvements | | Straight-line | | Lease term |
Depreciation expense on machinery and equipment used in the production and manufacturing process is included in cost of sales. All other depreciation is included in the depreciation and amortization expense line on the statement of operations.
(g) Long-term investments:
The Company accounts for investments in which it has significant influence, including variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of income from equity accounted investees in the statement of operations with a corresponding increase in long-term investments. Any dividends paid or payable are credited against long-term investments.
(h) Financial liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debt and long-term debt are measured at amortized cost. Transaction costs relating to long-term debt are netted against long-term debt and are amortized using the effective interest rate method.
(i) Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded net of government funding received or receivable.
(j) Intangible assets:
Intangible assets consist primarily of the estimated value of intellectual property, trademarks, technology, customer contracts and non-compete agreements acquired through acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 20 years.
(k) Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such conditions exist, assets are considered impaired if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its carrying amount. An impairment loss is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset as an estimate of fair value.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(l) Goodwill:
Goodwill is recorded at the time of purchase for the excess of the amount of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and instead is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. This impairment test is performed annually at December 31. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying assets could result in an inability to recover the carrying value of the goodwill, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge.
(m) Warranty liability:
Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time the Company sells its products and are included in cost of revenue. The Company provides warranty coverage on products sold from the date the products are put into service by customers. Warranty liability represents the Company’s best estimate of warranty costs expected to be incurred during the warranty period. Furthermore, the current portion of warranty liability represents the Company’s best estimate of the costs to be incurred in the next twelve-month period. The Company uses historical failure rates and costs to repair defective products to estimate the warranty liability. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until claims experience becomes available. Product specific experience is typically available four or five quarters after product launch, with a clear experience trend not evident until eight to twelve quarters after launch. The Company records warranty expense for new products using historical experience from previous engine generations in the first year, a blend of actual product and historical experience in the second year and product specific experience thereafter. The amount payable by the Company and the timing will depend on actual failure rates and cost to repair failures of its products.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(n) Revenue recognition:
The Company generates revenues primarily from product sales. Product revenues are derived from standard product sales contracts and from long-term fixed price contracts. The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control, at a point in time or over time, requires judgment. On standard product sales contracts, revenues are recognized when customers obtain control of the product, that is when transfer of title and risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed and when obligation to pay is considered certain. Invoices are generated and revenue is recognized at that point in time. Provisions for warranties are made at the time of sale.
(o) Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the accounting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and for loss carry-forwards, tax credits and other tax attributes, using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets to the extent the assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred income tax assets.
The Company uses a two-step process to recognize and measure the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority based solely on the technical merits of the position. A tax benefit that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. To the extent a full benefit is not expected to be realized, an income tax liability is established. Any change in judgment related to the expected resolution of an uncertain tax position is recognized in the year of such a change.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are included as a component of income tax expense.

4. Accounting changes:
(a) New accounting pronouncement adopted in 2019:
Leases (Topic 842):
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use ("ROU") assets and corresponding liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical reporting under Topic 840.
On adoption, the Company recognized total ROU assets of $19,747, with corresponding liabilities of $19,747 in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption did not impact the Company's opening retained earnings, or the prior year statements of income and statements of cash flows.
Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its subsidiary's incremental borrowing rates to determine such present value amounts. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend the lease and such extensions are included in the lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, and current and non-current operating lease liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
(b) New accounting pronouncement to be adopted in 2020:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(a) Cummins Westport Inc.:
The Company entered into a joint venture with Cummins Inc. ("Cummins") on March 7, 2001. The joint venture term is scheduled to end on December 31, 2021 and can be terminated under certain circumstances before the end of the term, including in the event of a material breach of the agreement by, or in the event of a change of control of, one of the parties.
On February 20, 2012, the joint venture agreement ("JVA") was amended and restated to provide for, among other things, clarification concerning the scope of products within CWI. In addition, the parties revised certain economic terms of the JVA. Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI. Under the amended JVA, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established revenue baseline, then any excess profit will be allocated 75% to the Company and 25% to Cummins.
The Company has determined that CWI is a VIE. Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors. No one shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI. The Board of Directors has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the governing documents. As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared. Accordingly neither party is the primary beneficiary. The joint venture term is scheduled to end on December 31, 2021 and, as per the joint venture agreement, effective from July 1, 2019, either Cummins or the Company can buy out the other's interest based on contractually defined terms and conditions.
The Company recognized its share of CWI’s income and received dividends as follows:

(b) Weichai Westport Inc.:
The Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westport Innovations (Hong Kong) Limited (“Westport HK”), is currently the registered holder of a 23.33% equity interest in Weichai Westport Inc. (“WWI”).
In April 2016, the Company sold to Cartesian entities a derivative economic interest granting it the right to receive an amount of future income received by Westport HK from WWI equivalent to having an 18.78% equity interest in WWI and concurrently granted a Cartesian entity an option to acquire all of the equity securities of Westport HK for a nominal amount. The Company retained the right to transfer any equity interest held by Westport HK in WWI that was in excess of an 18.78% interest in the event that such option was exercised.
Pursuant to a subsequent agreement dated September 6, 2019 with the Cartesian entities, the Company has agreed, amongst other matters, not to transfer such residual equity interest without the Cartesian entities' prior consent. As a result of such transactions, the Company’s residual 23.33% equity interest in WWI currently corresponds to an economic interest in WWI equivalent to just 4.55%.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, impairment charge of $nil were recorded related to property, plant and equipment (December 31, 2018 - $736; December 31, 2017 - $1,550).
The Company has significant investments in property, plant and equipment related to its Westport HPDI 2.0™ business. The HPDI business is still in the early stages of commercialization, and, as a result, is currently generating losses. Based on the Company's current projections, meaningful increases in component sales, compared to 2019 levels, are expected, allowing the HPDI business to benefit from economies of scale and become profitable. If these assumptions are not realized, the Company may be required to record an impairment on these assets in future periods.
Total depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $13,409 (year ended December 31, 2018 - $13,090; year ended December 31, 2017 - $11,289). The amount of depreciation expense included in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $8,562 (2018 - $7,685; 2017 - $4,915).

15. Long-term royalty payable:
On January 11, 2016, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Cartesian to support the Company's global growth initiatives. The financing agreement immediately provided $17,500 in cash (the “Tranche 1 Financing”). In consideration for the funds provided to the Company, Cartesian is entitled to royalty payments based on the greater of (i) a percentage of amounts received by the Company on select HPDI systems and CWI joint venture income through 2025 and (ii) stated fixed amounts per annum (subject to adjustment for asset sales). The carrying value is being accreted to the expected redemption value using the effective interest method, which is approximately 23% per annum. Amounts due to Cartesian are secured by an interest in the Company's HPDI intellectual property and a priority interest in the Company's CWI joint venture interest.
In January 2017, the Company and Cartesian signed a Consent Agreement which allowed the Company to sell certain assets in exchange for prepayment of the Cartesian royalty. Cartesian was to be paid 15% of the net proceeds from these asset sales to a maximum of $15,000, with this payment being allocated on a non-discounted basis to future years' minimum payments.
The Company received holdback payments in 2018, related to the divestiture of the industrial business segment in 2017, which resulted in a $1,045 prepayment to Cartesian and an additional finance charge of $778 in 2018.
As of December 31, 2019, the total royalty prepayments paid to Cartesian as a result of the Consent Agreement was $12,137.
A continuity schedule of the long-term royalty payable is as follows:

17. Share capital, stock options and other stock-based plans (continued):
During 2019, 1,877,101 (2018 - 1,009,230) share units were granted to directors, executives and employees. This included 971,051 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") (2018 - 1,009,230) and 906,050 Performance Share Units ("PSUs") (2018 - nil). Values of RSU awards are generally determined based on the fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a three year period so the actual value received by the individual depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for common shares, not the date of grant. PSU awards do not have a certain number of Common Shares that will issue over time - it depends on future performance and other conditions tied to the payout of the PSU.
As at December 31, 2019, $4,303 of compensation expense related to Units has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be recognized over the remainder of the vesting period.
(b) Aggregate intrinsic values:
The aggregate intrinsic value of the Company’s share units at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

| $ | (2,516 | ) | | $ | (3,857 | ) |
The valuation allowance is reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the future periods in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. If the evidence does not exist that the deferred income tax assets will be fully realized, a valuation allowance has been provided.
The deferred income tax assets have been reduced by the uncertain tax position presented in note 18(f).

19. Related party transactions:
The Company's related parties are CWI, Cartesian, directors, officers and shareholders which own greater than 10% of the Company's shares.
(a) Pursuant to the amended and restated Joint Venture Agreement, Westport engages in transactions with CWI (see note 8(a)). Amounts receivable relate to costs incurred by the Company on behalf of CWI. The amounts are generally reimbursed by CWI to the Company in the month following the month in which the payable is incurred.
(b) Other transactions with related parties:
Peter Yu, founder and managing partner of Cartesian, was appointed as a Director of the Company in January 2016 in connection with the Investment Agreement entered into with Cartesian in January 2016. As a consequence, the convertible debt (note 14(c)) and royalty payable (note 15), amounts due to Cartesian represent related party balances. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made payments to Cartesian for interest on the convertible debt of $1,575 (2018 - $1,575) and for royalty payables $6,034 (2018 - $3,009) to Cartesian relating to the royalty payable.

20. Commitments and contingencies:
(a) Contractual commitments
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it is obligated to indemnify a third party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise as a result of contracts for sale of the Company’s product to customers where the Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such as product liabilities. The potential impact on the Company’s financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be made and the final outcome of potential claims. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to these types of indemnifications.
(b) Contingencies
On June 15, 2017, the Enforcement Division of the SEC issued a subpoena to Westport Fuel Systems for information concerning its investment in Weichai Westport Inc. and compliance with the FCPA and securities laws related to disclosure in SEC filings in connection with the Westport Fuel Systems operations in China. The SEC Enforcement Division issued follow up subpoenas on February 14, 2018, June 25, 2018, and August 2, 2018.
On September 27, 2019, the Company announced that it had reached a settlement with the SEC resolving the above-mentioned investigation. Under the terms of the settlement, without admitting or denying any violation of the FCPA or related regulations, the Company agreed to pay to the SEC a total amount of $4,046 (comprising a civil penalty of $1,500, a disgorgement amount of $2,350 and prejudgment interest of $196), and also agreed to a two-year period of self-reporting requirements regarding FCPA compliance activities. Of the total settlement amount agreed with the SEC, $2,529 was paid as of December 31, 2019, with the remaining balance due in three equal quarterly installments through September 2020.
In the period from June 2017 to December 31, 2019, total costs and expenses, net of insurance recoveries, incurred by the Company in connection with the above-mentioned SEC investigation amounted to a cumulative $18,110, of which $6,316 recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019 and $9,977 in the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Company is also engaged in certain legal actions and tax audits in the ordinary course of business and believes that, based on the information currently available, the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.

22. Financial Instruments:
(a) Financial risk management:
The Company has exposure to liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
(b) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due.

At December 31, 2019, the Company has $46,012 of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including of $2,279 restricted cash (see note 3(c)).

| | $ | 8,846 |
|
(c) Credit risk:
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by regularly investing primarily in liquid short-term paper issued by major banks. The Company monitors its portfolio and its policy is to diversify its investments to manage this potential risk.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk with respect to uncertainties as to timing and amount of collectability of accounts receivable and other receivables. As at December 31, 2019, 85% (December 31, 2018 - 83%) of accounts receivable relates to customer receivables, and 15% (December 31, 2018 - 17%) relates to amounts due from related parties and income tax authorities for value added taxes and other tax related refunds. In order to minimize the risk of loss for customer receivables, the Company’s extension of credit to customers involves review and approval by senior management as well as progress payments as contracts are executed. Most sales are invoiced with payment terms in the range of 30 days to 90 days. The Company reviews its customer receivable accounts and regularly recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables as soon as the account is determined not to be fully collectible. Estimates for allowance for doubtful debts are determined on a customer-by-customer evaluation of collectability at each balance sheet reporting date, taking into consideration past due amounts and any available relevant information on the customers’ liquidity and financial position.

22. Financial Instruments (continued):
(d) Foreign currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business activities in foreign currencies, primarily the United States dollar and the Euro. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. In addition, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt that are denominated in foreign currencies will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and these foreign currencies. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.
The fluctuation in the average U.S. dollar in recent years resulting in material impacts on our revenues in those years. If the U.S. dollar continues to fluctuate against other currencies, we will experience additional volatility in our financial statements.
A 5% increase/decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and Euro compared to the exchange rates in effect for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have resulted in lower/higher income from operations of approximately $593. This assumes a consistent 5% appreciation in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and Euros throughout the fiscal year. The timing of changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar can affect the magnitude of the impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on our income from operations.
(e) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on certain long-term debt with variable rates of interest. The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk by continually monitoring and adjusting portfolio duration to align to forecasted cash requirements and anticipated changes in interest rates.
If interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2019 had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have increased or decreased by $91.

22. Financial Instruments (continued):
(f) Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term period to maturity of these instruments.
The long-term investments represent our interest in CWI, WWI and other investments. CWI is accounted for using the equity method. WWI and other investments are accounted for at fair value.
The carrying values reported in the consolidated balance sheet for obligations under capital and operating leases, which are based upon discounted cash flows, approximate their fair values.
The carrying value of the term loan facilities included in the long-term debt (note 14(a)) does not materially differ from its fair value as at December 31, 2019. The carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for senior financing (note 14(b)) approximates their fair value as at December 31, 2019, as the interest rates on the debt are floating and therefore approximate the market rates of interest.
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis into three categories as follows:
|
| | |
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | |
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| | |
| Level 3 – | Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1. When necessary, Level 2 valuations are performed based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets and/or model–derived valuations with inputs that are observable in active markets. Level 3 valuations are undertaken in the absence of reliable Level 1 or Level 2 information.
As at December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are included in Level 1.
