(1) Results for Q1 2011 have been prepared on a carve-out basis. Enerflex
became an independently operated and listed company on June 1, 2011.
(2) Operating income and Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization ("EBITDA") are non-GAAP measures that do not have a
standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other issuers.
Enerflex reported improved results from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period last year. Net earnings from continuing operations improved by $5.1 million (51.5%) or $0.06 cents per share as a result of higher revenues and higher gross margins, which were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company recorded bookings of $222.7 million during the quarter, which was $21.0 million lower than the comparable period last year. The increase in bookings in Canada and Northern U.S. was offset by lower bookings in the Southern U.S. and International markets. Bookings have been driven predominantly by activity in unconventional natural gas basins in Canada and liquids-rich gas basins in the U.S. Backlog has grown to $927.6 million, which represents an increase of $255.5 million (38.0%) compared to the same period last year. This backlog provides good visibility for revenue growth for Engineered Systems in 2012. Sequentially, backlog has decreased by $58.5 million from December 31, 2011.
"With our Company's opening 2012 backlog, Enerflex is well-positioned to deliver improved results through the balance of 2012," said J. Blair Goertzen, Enerflex's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Given the current outlook for natural gas prices in North America our balance sheet provides us with the financial flexibility to weather any potential downturn in the Canadian natural gas market and positions us to pursue opportunities to expand our global footprint and grow our business. We see continued strength in the United States and International markets for 2012."
First Quarter Highlights
In the three months ended March 31, 2012, Enerflex:
-- Generated revenue of $355.7 million compared to $314.5 million in the
first quarter of 2011. The increase of $41.2 million was a result of
increased revenue in all Enerflex segments;
-- Achieved a gross margin of $62.3 million or 17.5% compared to $55.4
million or 17.6% during the first quarter of 2011, an increase of $6.9
million;
-- Achieved operating income of $21.2 million or 6.0% of revenue compared
to $15.3 million or 4.9% during the first quarter of 2011;
-- Generated first quarter EBITDA of $31.4 million, an increase of $4.3
million over the first quarter of 2011;
-- Achieved net earnings from continuing operations in the first quarter of
$14.9 million ($0.19 cents per share), an increase of $5.1 million over
the same period last year;
-- Increased backlog to $927.6 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $672.1
million at March 31, 2011, an increase of 38.0% over the prior year;
-- Exited the quarter with $88.0 million in cash, resulting in net debt to
EBITDA ratio of 0.89:1 and a net debt to equity ratio of 0.03:1; and
-- The Houston facility expansion is on-going and scheduled to be fully
operational during the second quarter of 2012. This will double the
capacity of the Houston facility which will be used to serve the
Southern U.S., South American and International markets for compression
and processing equipment.
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2012:
-- Enerflex declared a dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on July 5, 2012,
to shareholders of record on June 19, 2012; and
-- Gas Drive, a limited partnership of Enerflex, has taken steps to reduce
operating costs as a result of weak natural gas prices and the
corresponding decline in dry gas production. This has resulted in a
reduction of its administrative workforce at certain Canadian branches,
which is expected to produce annualized savings of approximately $4.0
million. Enerflex will record a reorganization expense of approximately
$1.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company will continue to
focus on the opportunities for growth and position itself strategically
to support its customers in all Gas Drive service territories.
Financial Results
Enerflex's $41.2 million or 13.1% period-over-period increase in revenue to $355.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 was a result of increased revenue in the Canada and Northern U.S., Southern U.S., and International segments. Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased $8.3 million compared to the same period of last year, while the International revenues increased by $9.3 million. The Southern U.S. and South America segment revenues increased by $23.5 million to $112.8 million from $89.3 million in 2011.
EBITDA totalled $31.4 million in the first three months of 2012, an increase of 15.9% compared to the same period of the prior year.
Gross margin of $62.3 million represented an increase of 12.5% over the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to strong gross margin performance in Canada and Northern U.S. and Southern U.S. and South America, as a result of higher margin projects in opening backlog and better plant utilization. This was partially offset by lower gross margin performance in the International business segment, as a result of costs incurred on scope changes and potential warranty claims related to certain projects during the quarter. Enerflex has recognized these expenses with no corresponding revenue until the likelihood of recovery of these costs can be ascertained. Enerflex has filed variation claims with respect to these projects, which could result in revenue and gross margin recognition in subsequent quarters if these claims are approved. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2011 included $9.5 million with respect to a delayed project that was completed in Middle East North Africa ("MENA") on more favorable terms than had been anticipated.
Backlog at March 31, 2012 increased to $927.6 million compared to $672.1 million at March 31, 2011, a 38.0% increase over the comparable period. This increase is a result of increased activity in unconventional natural gas basins, liquids rich shale resources in the United States and Canada, increased gas production in MENA and various coal seam gas to liquefied natural gas projects in Australia.

THE COMPANY
Enerflex was formed after the acquisition of Enerflex Systems Income Fund ("ESIF") by Toromont and subsequent integration of ESIF's products and services with Toromont's existing Natural Gas Compression and Processing business. In January 2010, the operations of Toromont Energy Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Toromont Industries Ltd., were combined with the operations of ESIF to form Enerflex Ltd. Enerflex began independent operations on June 1, 2011 pursuant to the Arrangement with Toromont which received all necessary regulatory approvals. The transaction was implemented by way of a plan of arrangement whereby Toromont shareholders received one share of Enerflex for each common share of Toromont, creating two independent public companies - Toromont Industries Ltd. and Enerflex Ltd. Enerflex's shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on June 3, 2011 under the symbol EFX.
Enerflex Ltd. is a single-source supplier for natural gas compression, oil and gas processing, refrigeration systems and power generation equipment - plus in-house engineering and mechanical services expertise. The Company's broad in-house resources provide the capability to engineer, design, manufacture, construct, commission and service hydrocarbon handling systems. Enerflex's expertise encompasses field production facilities, compression and natural gas processing plants, CO2 processing plants, refrigeration systems and power generators serving the natural gas production industry.
Headquartered in Calgary, Canada, Enerflex has approximately 3,100 employees worldwide. Enerflex, its subsidiaries, interests in affiliates and joint-ventures operate in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Bahrain and Indonesia.
OVERVIEW
The oil and natural gas service sector in Canada and Northern U.S. has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from wellsite access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while the Service and Rentals product line revenues are more stable throughout the year. Rentals revenues are also impacted by both the Company's and its customer's capital investment decisions.
The Southern U.S. and South America and International markets are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends in all regional segments generally occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
During the first quarter of 2012, Enerflex recorded strong bookings in the Canada and Northern U.S. and Southern U.S. and South America regions, while bookings in the International segment were $42.6 million lower as a result of the varying nature of project awards in this region. Projects in the International markets are typically larger projects with longer evaluation and award timelines. Manufacturing activity levels for the Engineered Systems product line have increased in all regions as backlog at the start of 2012 was $986.1 million, compared to $643.6 million at the start of 2011. Service activity levels have remained stable in the first quarter of 2012 in Canada and Northern U.S. and Southern U.S. and South America when compared to the first quarter of 2011. In response to low natural gas prices, natural gas producers in both of these regions have announced their intention to curtail or "shut-in" dry gas production and this could potentially impact revenues from our Service product line in future periods. Service activity levels increased in our International region as a result of new service contracts in Middle East North Africa ("MENA") and increased activity levels in Australia related to Coal Seam Gas ("CSG") to Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") development.
North American rental utilization levels have increased to 62% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 56% in the same quarter of 2011. The increase in utilization is primarily due to the sale of idle rental units from the fleet, resulting in a decrease in the total horsepower available.
In the International segment, MENA continues to expand as key Service contracts in the region commenced operations and we continue to actively evaluate and submit proposals in this region. The European Service and Combined Heat and Power ("CHP") business, within the International segment, has been reported as a discontinued operation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, and for the comparative periods in 2012. In 2011, Enerflex recorded a total impairment of $54.0 million, consisting of non-cash impairments of $46.0 million for goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value adjustments, and anticipated cash transaction costs totalling $8.0 million.

The success of the Company and business unit strategies is measured using a number of key performance indicators, some of which are outlined below. These measures are also used by management in its assessment of relative investments in operations. Some of these key performance indicators are not measurements in accordance with GAAP. It is possible that these measures will not be comparable to similar measures prescribed by other companies. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under GAAP.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")
EBITDA provides the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, assets are amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions.
Cash Flow
Cash flow provides the amount of cash generated by the business (net of non-cash working capital) and measures the Company's ability to finance capital programs and meet financial obligations.
Operating Income and Operating Margin
Each operating segment assumes responsibility for its operating results as measured by, amongst other factors, operating income, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity income or loss and gain or loss on sale of assets. Financing and related charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments and income tax jurisdictions are not synonymous, and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of business segments.
Bookings and Backlog
Bookings and backlog are monitored by Enerflex as an indicator of future revenue and business activity levels for Enerflex's Engineered Systems' product line. Bookings are recorded in a period when a firm commitment or order has been received from customers. Bookings increase backlog in the period that they are received. Revenue recognized on Engineered Systems products decrease backlog in the period that this revenue is recognized. As a result backlog is an indication of revenue to be recognized in future periods using percentage of completion accounting.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated $355.7 million in revenue, as compared to $314.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase of $41.2 million was the result of increased revenue in all three of Enerflex's segments. As compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2011:
-- Canada and Northern U.S. revenues increased by $8.3 million as a result
of higher Engineered Systems and Service revenue. Engineered Systems
revenue was higher as a result of higher opening backlog for the first
quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. Increased
exploration of unconventional gas in the Montney and the Horn River
shale plays throughout 2011 had a favorable impact in this region.
Service revenue during the first quarter of 2012 was marginally higher
compared to the same period in 2011. Natural gas producers in this
region have begun to curtail dry gas production in 2012 as a result of
weak natural gas prices. This could negatively impact Service revenue in
future quarters. Rental revenue was slightly lower in the quarter
despite higher utilization rates. This was due to lower pricing on the
sale of rental units compared to the same period in 2011;
-- Southern U.S. and South America revenues increased by $23.5 million, as
a result of increased Engineered Systems and Service revenue in the
first quarter of 2012. Engineered Systems revenue was higher as a result
of higher activity levels in liquids rich resource basins and revenue
recognition associated with projects that were previously delayed.
Service revenues were slightly higher as a result of new branches being
opened in close proximity to the Eagle Ford shale play as activity
levels in this and other liquids rich basins have remained strong
throughout the quarter; and
-- International revenues increased by $9.4 million as a result of
increased revenue in Australia and International Production and
Processing ("P&P"), partially offset by lower revenues in MENA. Revenues
in the comparable quarter of 2011 for MENA included $15.6 million with
respect to a delayed project that was completed on more favorable terms
than originally anticipated. Revenues in Australia during the first
quarter of 2012 were higher as a result of increased activity in the
development of CSG and construction projects in Western Australia. P&P
revenues were higher due to increased demand for gas processing
equipment in MENA as we continue to expand in this region.
Gross Margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $62.3 million or 17.5% of revenue as compared to $55.4 million or 17.6% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross margin of $6.9 million was primarily due to strong gross margin performance in Canada and Northern U.S. and Southern U.S. and South America, as a result of higher margin projects in opening backlog, and better plant utilization. This was partially offset by lower gross margin performance in the International segment, as a result of costs incurred due to scope changes and potential warranty claims on certain projects. Enerflex has recognized the costs associated with these projects with no corresponding revenue recorded until the likelihood of recovery of these costs can be ascertained. Enerflex has filed variation claims with these customers which could result in revenue and gross margin recognition in subsequent quarters if these claims are approved. Gross margin in the comparable quarter of 2011 included $9.5 million with respect to a delayed project that was completed in MENA on more favorable terms than originally anticipated.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $41.1 million or 11.6% of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $40.1 million or 12.7% of revenue in the same period of 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses during the quarter is primarily attributable to higher compensation and incentive costs, partially offset by lower occupancy costs and lower depreciation and amortization resulting from the sale of non-core facilities during 2011.
Operating Income assists the reader in understanding the net contributions made from the Company's core businesses after considering all SG&A expenses. During the first quarter of 2012, Enerflex produced an operating income of $21.2 million or 6.0% of revenue as compared to operating income of $15.3 million or 4.9% of revenue in 2011. The increase in operating income was a result of the same factors contributing to the increased revenue and gross margin, which was partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
Finance Costs and Income totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $2.3 million in the same period of 2011, a decrease of $0.9 million. Finance costs in 2012 were lower than those in 2011 primarily as a result of lower average borrowings, a lower effective interest rate and higher finance income arising from higher cash balances.
Income Tax Expense totaled $5.3 million or 26.3% of earnings before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with an expense of $4.1 million or 29.3% of earnings before tax in the same period of 2011. The increase in income tax expense was due to higher pretax earnings. Enerflex's effective tax rate decreased compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of increased earnings in lower tax jurisdictions within Canada and Northern U.S. and the International segment and lower earnings in higher tax jurisdictions within the Southern U.S. and South America segment.
Net Earnings for the first quarter of 2012, from continuing operations were $14.9 million or $0.19 cents per share, as compared to $9.8 million or $0.13 cents per share in the same period of 2011.
Loss from discontinued operations reflects the results of Enerflex Environmental Australia ("EEA") during 2011 and Enerflex Europe ("EE") during 2011 and 2012. These business units recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.8 million ($0.01 cents per share) and net income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 respectively.
SEGMENTED RESULTS
Enerflex operates three business segments: Canada and Northern U.S., Southern U.S. and South America, and International, which operate as follows:
1. Canada and Northern U.S. is comprised of three divisions:
-- Manufacturing, with business units operating in Canada and the
Northern U.S., focuses on Compression and Power which provides
custom and standard compression packages for reciprocating and screw
compressor applications, Production and Processing which designs,
manufactures, constructs and installs modular natural gas processing
equipment and Retrofit which operates from plants located in
Calgary, Alberta and Casper, Wyoming;
-- Service provides mechanical services and parts as the authorized
Waukesha distributor to the oil and gas industries, focusing in
Canada and Northern U.S. Enerflex re-branded its service business
during the fourth quarter of 2011 as Gas Drive Global LP ("Gas
Drive") and was awarded new service territories within the U.S. All
future parts sales and service revenue will be undertaken by this
new wholly owned entity; and
-- Rentals which provides compression and natural gas processing
equipment rentals in Canada and Northern U.S.
2. Southern U.S. and South America is comprised of three divisions:
-- Compression and Power provides custom and standard compression
packages for reciprocating and screw compressor applications from
facilities located in Houston, Texas;
-- Production and Processing designs, manufactures, constructs and
installs modular natural gas processing equipment; and
-- Service which provides mechanical services and products to the oil
and gas industries focusing on Southern and Eastern U.S., as well as
South America.
3. International is comprised of four divisions:
Continuing Operations:
-----------------------
-- AustralAsia division provides process construction for gas and power
facilities and compression package assembly. This division also provides
mechanical service and parts, as the authorized Waukesha distributor for
the oil and gas industry in this region;
-- MENA provides engineering, procurement and construction services, as
well as operating and maintenance services for gas compression and
processing facilities in the region; and
-- P&P designs, manufactures, constructs and installs modular natural gas
processing equipment, and waste gas systems, for the natural gas, heavy
oil Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage ("SAGD") and heavy mining segments
of the market.
Discontinued Operations:
-------------------------
-- Europe provides CHP generator products and mechanical service to the CHP
product line. Enerflex has announced its intention to exit this business
through a sale, partial sale or closure of these operations. As a result
of this decision, the Europe division is reported as a discontinued
operation.
Each regional business segment has three main product lines:
Engineered Systems product line includes engineering, fabrication and assembly of standard and custom-designed compression packages, production and processing equipment and facilities and power generation systems. The Engineered Systems product line tends to be more cyclical with respect to revenue, gross margin and earnings before interest and income taxes than Enerflex's other business segments. Revenues are derived primarily from the investments made in natural gas infrastructure by producers.
The Services product line includes support services, labor and parts sales to the oil and gas industry. Enerflex, through its wholly owned Gas Drive subsidiary, is an authorized distributor for Waukesha engines and parts in Canada, Alaska, Northern U.S., Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Enerflex is also an exclusive authorized distributor for Altronic, a leading manufacturer of electric ignition and control systems in Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Finally, Enerflex is an authorized distributor of Jenbacher parts and engines in Canada. Service revenues tend to be fairly stable as ongoing equipment maintenance is generally required to maintain the customer's natural gas production.
Rentals revenue includes a variety of rental and leasing alternatives for natural gas compression, power generation and processing equipment. The rental fleet is primarily deployed in Western Canada and Northern U.S. Expansion in international markets is conducted on a selective basis to minimize the risk of these newer markets.

------------------------------
Canada and Northern U.S. revenues totaled $150.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $142.3 million for the same period of 2011. The increase of $8.3 million was the result of higher Engineered Systems due to higher opening backlog in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The Montney and Horn River were very active resource basins throughout 2011 resulting in strong bookings in the latter half of the year. Service revenue was higher as a result of marginally higher parts sales during the first quarter of 2012. This was partially offset by lower Rental revenue resulting from lower pricing on the sale of rental units. Weak natural gas prices have resulted in dry gas production being curtailed by certain producers which could result in lower activity levels for our Service and Rental business in this region.
Operating income increased to $12.7 million in 2012 from $6.8 million in 2011. This $5.9 million increase was due to better gross margin performance, resulting from higher gross margins in opening backlog and higher realized margins as a result of better project execution and strong plant utilization. This was partially offset by higher SG&A expenses during the quarter.

------------------------------
Southern U.S. and South America revenues totaled $112.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $89.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase of $23.5 million was the result of higher opening backlog in Engineered Systems for the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011 and revenue recognition on projects that were previously deferred from 2011 into the first quarter of 2012. Service revenues were also higher in the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011 resulting from increased activity levels in new branches that were opened to service equipment located in the Eagle Ford and Permian resource basins. The liquids rich resource basins such as the Eagle Ford, Woodford and Permian have remained active in this segment in the first quarter of 2012 which has resulted in strong backlog levels.
Operating income increased from $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, as a result of higher revenues, and higher gross margin, which was partially offset by higher SG&A compared to the same period in 2011.

------------------------------
Continuing Operations:
International revenues totaled $92.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $82.9 million in the same period of 2011. The increase of $9.3 million was due to higher activity levels in Australia related to CSG projects and higher activity levels in P&P for gas processing projects in Africa. This was partially offset by lower revenue in MENA. Revenue in the first quarter of 2011 included $15.6 million resulting from a delayed project that was completed on more favorable terms than originally anticipated.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, compared to operating income of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. The operating loss was due to costs incurred on scope changes and potential warranty claims related to certain projects during the quarter. Consistent with IFRS guidelines, Enerflex has recognized these expenses with no corresponding revenue recorded until the likelihood of recovery of these costs can be ascertained. Enerflex has filed variation claims with respect to these projects, which could result in revenue and gross margin recognition in subsequent quarters if these claims are approved. In addition, operating income in the first quarter of 2011 included $9.5 million with respect to a delayed gas compression project that was completed in MENA on more favorable terms than originally anticipated.
Discontinued Operations:
Operating results for the International segment do not include the results for the discontinued operations of the EEA business, which was sold in the first quarter of 2011 for a gain of $1.4 million net of tax. During the third quarter of 2011, Enerflex announced its intention to exit the European Service and CHP operations via a sale, partial sale or closure of this business unit. As a result, this business unit has been reported as a discontinued operation since the third quarter of 2011 and has been excluded from the operating results of the International segment.
These two discontinued operations recorded a loss before tax totaling $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the same period a year ago.
BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG
The Company records bookings and backlog when a firm commitment is received from customers for the Engineered Systems product line. Bookings represent new orders awarded to Enerflex during the period. Backlog represents unfulfilled orders at period end and is an indicator of future Engineered Systems revenue for the Company.

Backlog in Canada and Northern U.S. was $61.4 million higher in 2012 as a result of increased activity in unconventional resource basins such as the Montney and Horn River in 2011 and into the first quarter of 2012. The Southern U.S. and South America backlog was $107.2 million higher during 2012 as a result of increased activity in the liquids rich shale resources in the Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Permian and Woodford resource basins. The International backlog was $86.9 million higher in 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of increased activity in Australia related to CSG exploration and increased activity in MENA related to gas production for domestic consumption.

FINANCIAL POSITION
The following table outlines significant changes in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position as at March 31, 2012 as compared to December
31, 2011:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase
($ Canadian millions) (Decrease) Explanation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounts receivable (18.7) The decrease in accounts
receivable is due to lower
revenues in the first quarter of
2012 and improved cash
collections.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inventory (23.1) The decrease is primarily related
to lower work in process and
direct material inventory,
partially offset by higher
distribution parts inventory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property, plant and 7.5 The increase is primarily related
equipment to the expansion of our Houston
manufacturing facility and the
installation of a new Enterprise
Resource Planning ("ERP") system,
partially offset by depreciation
charges.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental equipment (5.0) The decrease is primarily related
to depreciation charges and the
sale of equipment, partially
offset by rental asset additions
during the quarter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intangible assets (2.7) The decrease is due to
amortization of intangible assets
related to the ESIF acquisition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill (2.2) The decrease is primarily related
to a foreign exchange revaluation
of goodwill allocated to the
Southern U.S. and South America
and International segments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liabilities:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounts payable and accrued (13.1) The decrease is primarily related
liabilities to the payment of major equipment
purchases and year end incentive
bonuses that were accrued at
December 31, 2011.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisions 1.3 The increase is due to higher
warranty claims anticipated on
certain projects.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred revenues (38.7) The decrease is related to lower
bookings in the first quarter of
2012 and revenue recognition
exceeding progress billings in the
Canada and Northern U.S. and
International segment in the
quarter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term debt (3.1) The decrease is due to the
repayment of borrowings on the
Company's credit facility.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY
The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are:
-- Cash generated from continuing operations;
-- Bank financing and operating lines of credit; and
-- Issuance and sale of debt and equity instruments.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash, end of period $ 87,967 $ 28,573
-------------------------
Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $21.6 million as compared to $17.2 million in the same period of 2011. The increase of $4.4 million was a result of improved profitability from continuing operations.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash generated of $2.2 million during the same period of 2011. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $7.5 million compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of increased expenditures related to the expansion of the Company's Houston manufacturing facility and the ERP conversion. Proceeds on the sale of assets and non-core operations was $4.9 million lower in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year. Enerflex sold its EEA business unit during the first quarter of 2011 for $3.4 million as it was not considered a core operation.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.5 million, which was comparable to the same period of 2011. Enerflex paid dividends of $4.6 million and repaid $3.3 million of debt during the first quarter of 2012.
The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2012, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and currently available credit facilities, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital and capital assets.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial and operating risks that may potentially impact its operating results in any or all of its business segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Enerflex mitigates the impact of exchange rate fluctuations by matching expected future U.S. dollar denominated cash inflows with U.S. dollar liabilities, principally through the use of foreign exchange contracts, bank debt, accounts payable and by manufacturing U.S. dollar denominated contracts at plants located in the U.S. The Company utilizes U.S. based manufacturing plants, combined with foreign exchange forward contracts as its primary mitigation strategy to hedge any net foreign currency exposure. Forward contracts are entered into for the amount of the net foreign dollar exposure for a term matching the expected payment terms outlined in the sales contract.
The Company applies hedge accounting for foreign exchange forward contracts for firm commitments, which are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, fair value changes of the effective portion of the hedging instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The ineffective portion of fair value changes is recognized in net income. Amounts charged to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") are reclassified to the statement of earnings when the hedged transaction affects the income statement.
Outstanding forward contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each period with any gain or loss on the forward contract included in accumulated other comprehensive income until such time as the forward contract is settled, when it flows to income.
Enerflex does not hedge its exposure to investments in foreign subsidiaries. Exchange gains and losses on net investments in foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The AOCI at the end of 2011 of $7.9 million declined to $2.9 million at March 31, 2012, as a result of changes in the value of the Canadian dollar against the Euro, Australian dollar and U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar appreciated by 2% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2012 versus an appreciation of 2% against the U.S. dollar during the same period of 2011. The Australian dollar appreciated by 1% against the Canadian dollar during the first quarter of 2012, consistent with a 1% appreciation in the same period of 2011. The Euro depreciated against the Canadian dollar by 1% during the first quarter of 2012, as compared to a 3% depreciation in the same period of 2011.
The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company's related risk management strategies are as follows:
Transaction Exposure
The Canadian operations source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company mitigates exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency contracts to fix the cost of imported inventory where appropriate.
The Company also sells compression packages in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar and enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce exchange rate risks.
Most of Enerflex's international orders are manufactured in the U.S. operations if the contract is denominated in U.S. dollars. This minimizes the Company's foreign currency exposure on these projects.
The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks.
Translation Exposure
The Company's earnings from, and net investment in, foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The currencies with the most significant impact are the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar.
Assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the statement of financial position dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative currency translation adjustments are recognized in income when there has been a reduction in the ownership interest in the foreign operations.
Earnings from foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to these other currencies will impact reported net earnings. Such exchange rate fluctuations have historically not been material year-over-year relative to the overall earnings or financial position of the Company.
Interest rate risk
The Company's liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Notes outstanding at March 31, 2012 include interest rates that are fixed and therefore will not be impacted by fluctuations in market interest rates. The Company's Bank Facilities however, are subject to changes in market interest rates. For each 1.0% change in the rate of interest on the Bank Facilities, the change in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 would be approximately $0.3 million. All interest charges are recorded in the statement of earnings in finance costs.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.
Cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such as money market deposits with maturity dates of 90 days or less. The Company has deposited the cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
The Company has accounts receivable from clients engaged in various industries including natural gas producers, natural gas transportation, agricultural, chemical and petrochemical processing and the generation and sale of electricity. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Enerflex has entered into a number of significant projects through to 2013. One customer accounted for 12.4% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The credit risk associated with net investment in sales-type lease arises from the possibility that the counterparty may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into sales-type lease transactions only in select circumstances. Close contact is maintained with the customer over the duration of the lease to ensure visibility to issues as, and if, they arise.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly-rated financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Accounts payable are primarily due within 90 days and will be satisfied from current working capital.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
On May 1, 2012, Enerflex had 77,588,681 shares outstanding. Enerflex has not established a formal dividend policy and the Board of Directors anticipates setting the quarterly dividends based on the availability of cash flow and anticipated market conditions, taking into consideration business opportunities and the need for growth capital. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share.
The Company has a series of credit facilities with a syndicate of banks ("Bank Facilities") totaling $325.0 million. The Bank Facilities consist of a committed 4-year $270.0 million revolving credit facility ("the Revolver"), a committed 4-year $10.0 million operating facility ("the Operator"), a committed 4-year $20.0 million Australian operating facility ("the Australian Operator") and a committed 4-year $25.0 million bi-lateral letter of credit facility ("the LC Bi-Lateral"). The Revolver, Operator, Australian Operator and LC Bi-Lateral are collectively referred to as the Bank Facilities. The Bank Facilities were funded on June 1, 2011.
The Bank Facilities have a maturity date of June 1, 2015 ("Maturity Date"), but may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. In addition, the Bank Facilities may be increased by $50.0 million at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders' consent. There is no required or scheduled repayment of principal until the Maturity Date of the Bank Facilities.
Drawings on the Bank Facilities are available by way of Prime Rate loans ("Prime"), U.S. Base Rate loans, London Interbank Rate ("LIBOR") loans, and Bankers' Acceptance ("BA") notes. The Company may also draw on the Bank Facilities through bank overdrafts in either Canadian or U.S. dollars and issue letters of credit under the Bank Facilities.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bank Facilities, a margin is applied to drawings on the Bank Facilities in addition to the quoted interest rate. The margin is established in basis points and is based on consolidated net debt to EBITDA ratio. The margin is adjusted effective the first day of the third month following the end of each fiscal quarter based on the above ratio.
The Company also has a committed facility with one of the lenders in the Bank Facilities for the issuance of letters of credit ("the Bi-Lateral"). The amount available under the Bi-Lateral is $50.0 million and has a maturity date of June 1, 2013, which may be extended annually with the consent of the lender. Drawings on the Bi-Lateral are by way of letters of credit.
In addition, the Company has a committed facility with a U.S. lender ("U.S. Facility") in the amount of $20.0 million U.S. dollars. Drawings on the U.S. Facility are by way of LIBOR loans, U.S. Base Rate loans and letters of credit. The maturity date of the U.S. Facility is July 1, 2014 and may be extended annually at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders consent. There are no required or scheduled repayments of principal until the maturity date of the U.S. Facility.
The Company completed the restructuring of its debt with the closing of a private placement for $90.5 million in Unsecured Private Placement Notes ("Notes") during the second quarter of 2011. The Notes mature on two separate dates with $50.5 million, with a coupon of 4.841%, maturing on June 22, 2016 and $40.0 million, with a coupon of 6.011%, maturing on June 22, 2021.
The Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral and the U.S. Facility are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on the Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral, the U.S. Facility and the Notes. As at March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
At March 31, 2012, the Company had $28.1 million drawn against the Bank Facilities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Performance Share Units
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company approved a new performance share unit ("PSU") plan. PSUs may be granted at the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("HRCC") to officers of the Company or its related entities. A PSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date. Vesting is based on the achievement of performance measures and objectives specified by the HRCC. The HRCC assesses performance of the officer to determine the vesting percentage, which can range from 0%-200%. On the 14th day after the determination of the vesting percentage, the holder will be paid for the vested PSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
PSU recipients are entitled to additional PSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional PSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
(b) Restricted Share Units
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company approved a new restricted share unit ("RSU") plan. RSUs may be granted at the discretion of the HRCC to any officers or other key employees of the Company or its related entities. A RSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the vesting date. RSUs vest at a rate of one-third on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of the award date. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder will be paid for the vested RSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
RSU recipients are entitled to additional RSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional RSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the Company's interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as, assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, particularly those related to revenue recognition for long-term contracts, provisions for warranty, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment, amortization of finite life intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of non-financial assets, impairment of goodwill, income taxes, assets held for sale and discontinued operations and the fair value of financial instruments. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective and determined that the following may have an impact on the Company:
As of January 1, 2013, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The standard identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. At this time, the Company does not expect that its previous assessments of control will change and therefore no change is expected upon adoption of this standard.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 uses some of the terms that were originally used by IAS 31, but with different meanings. This standard addresses two forms of joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) where there is joint control. The Company is assessing its existing joint arrangements, which are currently proportionately consolidated, to determine if there will be a change in the accounting for these interests.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard includes disclosure about significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether the entity controls, jointly controls or has significant influence over other entities. The Company's disclosures will be updated as required upon adoption of this standard.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement provides new guidance on how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Company would maximize the use of quoted prices for the same or similar assets in active markets in determining fair value. For non-financial assets where there is no active market, the Company must consider the best use that another market participant would have for the asset even if that is not the Company's current use for the asset. The effect of any changes for the Company is limited to fair value disclosures for financial instruments, the fair value of assets held for sale and in asset impairment calculations. The Company's disclosures will be updated as required upon adoption of this standard.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income has been amended to require entities to split items of other comprehensive income ("OCI") between those that are reclassed to income and those that are not. The Company's consolidated statement of OCI will be updated as required upon adoption of this Standard.
There are no other standards and interpretations that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that the Company anticipates will have a material effect on the interim consolidated financial statements once adopted.
RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information used internally by management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Company's Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and approved this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that management fulfills its responsibilities in the financial control of operations, including disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR").
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of management, have designed the Company's DC&P to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would have been known to them and by others within those entities.
Additionally, they have designed ICFR to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.
There have been no significant changes in the design of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
While the Officers of the Company have designed the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, they expect that these controls and procedures may not prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on July 5, 2012, to shareholders of record on June 19, 2012.
Also subsequent to March 31, 2012, Gas Drive, a limited partnership of Enerflex, has taken steps to reduce operating costs as a result of weak natural gas prices and the corresponding decline in dry gas production. This has resulted in a reduction of its administrative workforce at certain Canadian branches, which is expected to produce annualized savings of approximately $4.0 million. Enerflex will record a reorganization expense of approximately $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2012. The Company will continue to focus on the opportunities for growth and position itself strategically to support its customers in all Gas Drive service territories.
OUTLOOK FOR MARKETS
Enerflex entered 2012 with significantly stronger backlog than the prior year. Bookings during the twelve months of 2011, including the large International contract in the Sultanate of Oman received during the fourth quarter of 2011, resulted in backlog for Engineered Systems of approximately $1.0 billion to start 2012.
The Canada and Northern U.S. region benefited from improved bookings and backlog during 2011 and in the first quarter of 2012, as a result of increased activity in Canada's unconventional gas basins in the Montney and the Horn River basins. Natural gas prices have fallen below $2.00/mcf during the first quarter of 2012 and North America has experienced a very mild winter, which has increased storage levels well above the five year average. This has created uncertainty for producers and capital spending directed at dry gas production has been reduced for natural gas exploration in this region during 2012. In addition, producers have announced that they will curtail dry gas production as a result of weak natural gas prices. This could negatively impact Enerflex's Engineered Systems, Service and Rentals business during the current year.
The Southern U.S. and South America region also experienced improved bookings and backlog during the twelve months of 2011. Bookings for the first quarter of 2012 were slightly lower than the same period a year ago. Strong activity in liquids rich U.S. gas basins has driven new orders for compression and processing equipment for this region. These liquids rich resource basins can achieve superior returns for producers despite low natural gas prices due to the higher value that could be realized for the natural gas liquids ("NGL"). In addition, the requirement for gas compression and gas processing equipment for liquids rich resource basins like Eagle Ford, Woodford and Permian has increased backlog in this region. Enerflex's U.S. business is heavily weighted to activity in liquids rich resource basins and as long as the frac spread (the differential between NGL prices and natural gas prices) remains high, the Company expects activity levels to remain strong in this region. It is possible that activity levels in dry gas resource basins like Haynesville and Barnett could be negatively impacted by weak natural gas prices in 2012.
The International region continues to hold considerable long-term opportunity has benefited from strong bookings and backlog during the twelve months of 2011. Activity in these regions is being driven by increased activity in Australia's natural gas industry. There are numerous Liquefied Natural Gas projects in early stages of development with the potential for additional phases to be developed in the future. In the Middle East and North Africa, Enerflex has taken a targeted approach to mitigate exposure to political unrest. The Company's primary areas of focus have been Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Enerflex has achieved commercial operations of some key projects in the region during 2011 and was awarded a $228.0 million U.S. dollar gas processing plant in the region. Domestic demand for gas in this region remains strong and the Company is well positioned to compete for future projects in Oman and Bahrain for compression, processing equipment and after-market service support. Project tendering, bid evaluation and contract award have longer lead times in the International region due to projects being larger in scale and scope.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(Unaudited) (All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)
Note 1. Nature and Description of the Company
Enerflex Ltd. ("Enerflex" or "the Company") was formed subsequent to the acquisition of Enerflex Systems Income Fund ("ESIF") by Toromont Industries Ltd. ("Toromont") and subsequent integration of Enerflex's products and services with Toromont's existing Natural Gas Compression and Processing business.
On May 16, 2011 Toromont Shareholders approved the Plan of Arrangement ("the Arrangement") that established Enerflex as a stand-alone publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). In connection with the Arrangement, Toromont common shareholders received one share of Enerflex for each common share of Toromont, creating two independent public companies - Toromont Industries Ltd. and Enerflex Ltd.
Enerflex began independent operations on June 1, 2011 pursuant to the Arrangement with Toromont. Enerflex's shares began trading on the TSX on June 3, 2011 under the symbol "EFX".
In the second quarter of 2011, Enerflex entered into a transitional services agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Toromont provided consulting services and other assistance with respect to information technology of Enerflex which, from time to time, were reasonably requested by Enerflex in order to assist in its transition to a public company, independent from Toromont. Unless terminated earlier, the Agreement will expire on June 1, 2012. The Agreement reflects terms negotiated in anticipation of each company being a stand-alone public company, each with independent directors and management teams.
Accordingly, until the completion of the Arrangement, Toromont and Enerflex were considered related parties due to the parent - subsidiary relationship that existed. Subsequent to June 1, 2011, Toromont was no longer considered a related party.
Headquartered in Calgary, the registered office is located at 904, 1331 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, Canada. Enerflex has approximately 3,100 employees worldwide. Enerflex, its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint-ventures operate in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates ("UAE"), Oman, Egypt, Bahrain and Indonesia.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Measurement
(a) Statement of Compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.
(b) Basis of Presentation and Measurement
These interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and accordingly, should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The historical financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 have been derived from the accounting system of Toromont using the historical results of operations and historical bases of assets and liabilities of the business transferred to Enerflex on a carve-out accounting basis.
As the Company operated as a subsidiary of Toromont up to May 31, 2011 and was a stand-alone entity effective June 1, 2011, certain historical financial information includes an allocation of selected Toromont corporate expenses up to the date of the Arrangement.
The carve-out operating results of Enerflex were specifically identified based on Toromont's divisional organization. Certain other expenses presented in the interim consolidated financial statements represent allocations and estimates of services incurred by Toromont on behalf of Enerflex.
These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest thousand and are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention with certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies to those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Standards and guidelines issued, but not yet effective, for the current accounting period are described in Note 4.
These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 10, 2012.
(c) Basis of Consolidation
These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Performance Share Units
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company approved a new performance share unit ("PSU") plan. PSUs may be granted at the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("HRCC") to officers of the Company or its related entities. A PSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date. Vesting is based on the achievement of performance measures and objectives specified by the HRCC. The HRCC assesses performance of the officer to determine the vesting percentage, which can range from 0%-200%. On the 14th day after the determination of the vesting percentage, the holder will be paid for the vested PSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
PSU recipients are entitled to additional PSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional PSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
(b) Restricted Share Units
In the first quarter of 2012, the Company approved a new restricted share unit ("RSU") plan. RSUs may be granted at the discretion of the HRCC to any officers or other key employees of the Company or its related entities. A RSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the vesting date. RSUs vest at a rate of one-third on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of the award date. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder will be paid for the vested RSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
RSU recipients are entitled to additional RSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional RSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.

The preparation of the Company's interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as, assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, particularly those related to revenue recognition for long-term contracts, provisions for warranty, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment, amortization of finite life intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of non-financial assets, impairment of goodwill, income taxes, assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Note 4. Changes in Accounting Policies
Future Accounting Changes
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective and determined that the following may have an impact on the Company:
As of January 1, 2013, the Company will be required to adopt IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The standard identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. At this time, the Company does not expect that its previous assessments of control will change and therefore no change is expected upon adoption of this standard.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 uses some of the terms that were originally used by IAS 31, but with different meanings. This standard addresses two forms of joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) where there is joint control. The Company is assessing its existing joint arrangements, which are currently proportionately consolidated, to determine if there will be a change in the accounting for these interests.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard includes disclosure about significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether the entity controls, jointly controls, or has significant influence over other entities. The Company's disclosures will be updated as required upon adoption of this standard.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement provides new guidance on how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Company would maximize the use of quoted prices for the same or similar assets in active markets in determining fair value. For non-financial assets where there is no active market, the Company must consider the best use that another market participant would have for the asset even if that is not the Company's current use for the asset. The effect of any changes for the Company is limited to fair value disclosures for financial instruments, the fair value of assets held for sale and in asset impairment calculations. The Company's disclosures will be updated as required upon adoption of this standard.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income has been amended to require entities to split items of other comprehensive income ("OCI") between those that are reclassed to income and those that are not. The Company's consolidated statement of OCI will be updated as required upon adoption of this standard.
There are no other standards and interpretations that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that the Company anticipates will have a material effect on the interim consolidated financial statements once adopted.
Note 5. Assets and Associated Liabilities Held for Sale
During 2011, the Company reclassified its European operations to assets and associated liabilities held for sale as the Combined Heat and Power ("CHP") and Service business within the European region represents a specific line of business that management intends to exit. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities have been reflected in assets and associated liabilities held for sale on the interim consolidated statement of financial position.
Enerflex will continue to sell compression processing equipment in Europe through its sales office in the United Kingdom.
The following table represents the assets and associated liabilities reclassified to held for sale:

------------------------------
------------------------------
The carrying value of the AHFS was established at the lower of the carrying value and the estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Note 6. Discontinued Operations
As disclosed in Note 5, the Company reclassified its European operations to assets held for sale during 2011. As the CHP and Service business within the European region represents a specific line of business that management intends to exit, the corresponding revenues and expenses have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the interim consolidated statement of earnings.
Effective February 2011, the Company sold the shares of Enerflex Environmental Australia Pty ("EEA") to a third party, as the business was not considered core to the future growth of the Company. Total consideration received was $3.4 million, net of cash, and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2.5 million, less tax of $1.1 million.
The following tables summarize the revenues, loss from operations, impairments and income taxes from discontinued operations. The operations presented below had all been part of the International reporting segment.

Note 13. Long-Term Debt
The Company has, by way of private placement, $90.5 million of Unsecured Notes ("Notes") issued and outstanding. They have different maturities with $50.5 million, with a coupon of 4.841%, maturing on June 22, 2016 and $40.0 million, with a coupon of 6.011%, maturing on June 22, 2021.
The Company has syndicated revolving credit facilities ("Bank Facilities") with an amount available of $325.0 million. The Bank Facilities consist of a committed 4-year $270.0 million revolving credit facility ("the Revolver"), a committed 4-year $10.0 million operating facility ("the Operator"), a committed 4-year $20.0 million Australian operating facility ("the Australian Operator") and a committed 4-year $25.0 million bi-lateral letter of credit facility ("the LC Bi-Lateral"). The Revolver, Operator, Australian Operator and LC Bi-Lateral are collectively referred to as the Bank Facilities. The Bank Facilities were funded on June 1, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on the Bank Facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is 2.09% (March 31, 2011 - nil).
The Bank Facilities have a maturity date of June 1, 2015 ("Maturity Date"), but may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. In addition, the Bank Facilities may be increased by $50.0 million at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders' consent. There is no required or scheduled repayment of principal until the Maturity Date of the Bank Facilities.
Drawings on the Bank Facilities are available by way of Prime Rate loans ("Prime"), U.S. Base Rate loans, London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") loans, and Bankers' Acceptance ("BA") notes. The Company may also draw on the Bank Facilities through bank overdrafts in either Canadian or U.S. dollars and issue letters of credit under the Bank Facilities.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bank Facilities, a margin is applied to drawings on the Bank Facilities in addition to the quoted interest rate. The margin is established in basis points and is based on consolidated net debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio. The margin is adjusted effective the first day of the third month following the end of each fiscal quarter based on the above ratio.
The Company also has a committed facility with one of the lenders in the Bank Facilities for the issuance of letters of credit ("the Bi-Lateral"). The amount available under the Bi-Lateral is $50.0 million and has a maturity date of June 1, 2013, which may be extended annually with the consent of the lender. Drawings on the Bi-Lateral are by way of letters of credit.
In addition, the Company has a committed facility with a U.S. lender ("U.S. Facility") in the amount of $20.0 million U.S. dollars. Drawings on the U.S. Facility are by way of LIBOR loans, U.S. Base Rate loans and letters of credit. The maturity date of the U.S. Facility is July 1, 2014 and may be extended annually at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders' consent. There are no required or scheduled repayments of principal until the maturity date of the U.S. Facility.
The Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral and the U.S. Facility are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on the Bank Facilities, the Bi-Lateral, the U.S. Facility and the Notes. As at March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
At March 31, 2012, the Company had $28.1 million cash drawings against the Bank Facilities (December 31, 2011- $31.3 million).
The composition of the March 31, 2012 borrowings on the Bank Facilities and the Notes was as follows:

Note 14. Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $87.3 million (December 31, 2011 - $102.2 million).
The Company is involved in litigation and claims associated with normal operations against which certain provisions have been made in the interim consolidated financial statements. Management is of the opinion that any resulting net settlement arising from the litigation would not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
Operating leases relate to leases of equipment, automobiles and premises with lease terms between 1 to 10 years. The material lease arrangements generally include the existence of renewal and escalation clauses.
The aggregate minimum future required lease payments over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 18. Share-Based Compensation
a) Stock Options
The Company maintains a stock option program for certain directors, officers and full-time employees of the Company. Under the plan, up to 7.7 million options may be granted for subsequent exercise in exchange for common shares. It is Company policy that no more than 1% of outstanding shares or approximately 0.8 million share options may be granted in any one year.
The stock option plan entitles the holder to acquire shares of the Company at the strike price, established at the time of the grant, after vesting and before expiry. The strike price of each option equals the weighted average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the effective date of the grant. The options have a seven-year term and vest at a rate of one-fifth on each of the five anniversaries of the date of the grant.

b) Deferred Share Units
The Company offers a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan for executives and non-employee directors, whereby they may elect on an annual basis to receive all or a portion of their annual bonus, or retainer and fees, respectively, in DSUs and share awards. Non-employee directors may also elect to receive a portion of their annual retainer in shares purchased in the open market. In addition, the Board may grant discretionary DSUs to executives. A DSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the implied market value calculated as the number of DSUs multiplied by the closing price of Enerflex shares on the entitlement date.
DSUs may be granted to eligible participants on an annual basis and will vest upon being credited to the executive or non-employee director's account. Vested DSUs are to be settled by the end of the year vesting occurs.
DSU recipients are entitled to additional units over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares of the Company, following each dividend paid to the shareholders of the Company. The additional units are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
DSUs represent an indexed liability of the Company relative to the Company's share price. In 2012, the Board of Directors did not grant any DSUs to employees of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, director's fees elected to be received in deferred share units totalled $0.1 million (March 31, 2011 - nil).
c) Performance Share Units
The Company offers performance share unit ("PSU") plan. PSUs may be granted at the discretion of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee ("HRCC") to officers of the Company or its related entities. A PSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date. Vesting is based on the achievement of performance measures and objectives specified by the HRCC. The HRCC assesses performance of the officer to determine the vesting percentage, which can range from 0%-200%. On the 14th day after the determination of the vesting percentage, the holder will be paid for the vested PSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
PSU recipients are entitled to additional PSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional PSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
To date, no PSUs have been granted.
d) Restricted Share Units
The Company offers a restricted share unit ("RSU") plan. RSUs may be granted at the discretion of the HRCC to any officers or other key employees of the Company or its related entities. A RSU is a notional unit that entitles the holder to receive payment, as described below, from the Company equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the weighted average price per share at which the shares of the Company have traded on the TSX during the last 5 trading days immediately preceding the vesting date. RSUs vest at a rate of one-third on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of the award date. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder will be paid for the vested RSUs either in cash or in shares of the Company acquired by the Company on the open market on behalf of the holder, at the discretion of the Company.
RSU recipients are entitled to additional RSUs over and above those initially granted based on the notional number of units that could have been purchased using the proceeds of notional dividends that would have been received had the units then subject to vesting been actual shares in the Company, following each dividend paid to Shareholders of the Company. The additional RSUs are calculated with each dividend declared by the Company.
To date, no RSUs have been granted.
e) Phantom Share Rights
The Company utilizes a Phantom Share Rights Plan (Share Appreciation Rights - "SARs") for certain directors and key employees of affiliates located in Australia and the UAE, for whom the Company's Stock Option Plan would have negative personal taxation consequences.
The exercise price of each SAR equals the average of the market price of the Company's shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. The SARs vest at a rate of one-fifth on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of the grant and expire on the fifth anniversary. The award entitlements for increases in the share trading value of the Company are to be paid to the recipient in cash upon exercise.
The Board of Directors granted 4,000 SARs and recognized a nominal expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (March 31, 2011- nil). No SARs had vested at March 31, 2012 and 2011.
f) Employee Share Ownership Plan
The Company offers an Employee Share Ownership Plan whereby employees who meet the eligibility criteria can purchase shares by way of payroll deductions. There is a Company match of up to one thousand dollars per employee per annum based on contributions by the Company of one dollar for every three dollars contributed by the employee. Company contributions vest to the employee immediately. Company contributions are charged to selling and administrative expense when paid. The Plan is administered by a third party.
g) Share-Based Compensation Expense

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2012 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Assets
Derivative financial instruments $ 1,903 $ - $ 1,903 $ -
Financial Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments $ 153 $ - $ 153 $ -
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities and drawings on the Bank Facilities are reported at amounts approximating their fair values on the statement of financial position. The fair values approximate the carrying values for these instruments due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using the discounted value of the difference between the contract's value at maturity based on the contracted foreign exchange rate and the contract's value at maturity based on prevailing exchange rates. The financial institution's credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value.
Long-term debt associated with the Company's Notes is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost of the Notes is equal to the face value as there were no premiums or discounts on the issuance of the debt. Transaction costs associated with the debt were deducted from the debt and are being recognized over the life of the related debt. The fair value of these Notes at March 31, 2012, as determined on a discounted cash flow basis with a weighted average discount rate of 4.31%, was $94.7 million.
Fair values are determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined using inputs including forward market rates and credit spreads that are readily observable and reliable, or for which unobservable inputs are determined not to be significant to the fair value, are categorized as Level 2. If there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market data where possible, including recent arm's-length market transactions, and comparisons to the current fair value of similar instruments; where this is not feasible, inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility are used.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Foreign exchange contracts are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations related to purchases of inventory and sales of products. The following table summarizes the Company's commitments to buy and sell foreign currencies as at March 31, 2012:
Notional
amount Maturity
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canadian dollar denominated contracts
Purchase contracts USD 11,560 April 2012 to April 2013
EUR 166 April 2012 to June 2012
Sales contracts USD 54,977 April 2012 to January 2013
EUR 4,538 April 2012 to June 2012
AUD 9,800 April 2012
Australian dollar denominated contracts
Purchase contracts EUR 225 June 2012 to July 2012
Sales contracts USD 27,750 May 2012 to February 2014
Management estimates that a gain of $1.9 million would be realized if the contracts were terminated on March 31, 2012. Certain of these forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, a gain of $0.4 million has been included in other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These gains or losses are not expected to affect net earnings as the gains or losses will be reclassified to net earnings and will offset gains or losses recorded on the underlying hedged items, namely foreign currency denominated accounts payable and accounts receivable. The amount removed from other comprehensive income during the year and included in the carrying amount of the hedging items as a basis adjustment was nominal for 2012.
All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an ongoing basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.
Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that may potentially impact its operating results in any or all of its business segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Risk
In the normal course of operations, the Company is primarily exposed to movements in the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar. In addition, Enerflex has significant international exposure through export from its Canadian operations as well as a number of foreign subsidiaries, the most significant of which are located in the United States, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. The Company does not hedge its net investment exposure in foreign subsidiaries.
The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company's related risk management strategies are as follows:
Transaction Exposure
The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company mitigates exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency contracts to fix the cost of imported inventory where appropriate.
The Company also sells compression packages in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar and enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce these exchange rate risks.
Most of Enerflex's international orders are manufactured in the U.S. operations if the contract is denominated in U.S. dollars. This minimizes the Company's foreign currency exposure on these contracts.
The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks.
Translation Exposure
The Company's earnings from, and net investment in, foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The currencies with the most significant impact are the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar.
Assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the statement of financial position dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative currency translation adjustments are recognized in income when there has been a reduction in the ownership interest in the foreign operations.
Earnings from foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to these other currencies will impact reported net earnings. Such exchange rate fluctuations have historically not been material year-over-year relative to the overall earnings or financial position of the Company. The following table shows the effect on net earnings before tax for the period ended March 31, 2012 of a 5% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar, everything else being equal. A 5% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect. This sensitivity analysis is provided as an indicative range in a volatile currency environment.
Canadian dollar weakens by 5% USD AUD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings before tax $ 748 $ (59)
The movement in net earnings before tax in Canadian operations associated with changes in foreign exchange rates is a result of a change in the fair values of financial instruments. The majority of these financial instruments are hedged.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's financial instruments and show the impact on net earnings and comprehensive income. Financial instruments affected by currency risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis relates to the position for the period ended March 31, 2012. The following table shows the Company's sensitivity to a 5% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar. A 5% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect.
Canadian dollar weakens by 5% USD AUD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial instruments held in foreign operations Other comprehensive income $ 4,256 $ 1,728 Financial instruments held in Canadian operations Net earnings 269 - Other comprehensive loss (4) -
Certain movement in accumulated other comprehensive income is a result of the changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Notes outstanding at March 31, 2012 include interest rates that are fixed and therefore the related interest expense will not be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. The Company's Bank Facilities however, are subject to changes in market interest rates. For each 1% change in the rate of interest on the Bank Facilities, the change in interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million. All interest charges are recorded on the consolidated statement of earnings in finance costs.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net investment in finance lease, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the statement of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.
Cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such as money market deposits. The Company has deposited the cash equivalents with highly-rated financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
The Company has accounts receivable from clients engaged in various industries. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and, generally, advance payment is not required. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, one customer accounted for 12.4% of the Company's total revenue. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and an allowance for doubtful debts is established based upon specific situations.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in this note. The Company does not hold collateral as security.
The credit risk associated with the net investment in finance leases arises from the possibility that the counterparty may default on its obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into finance lease transactions only in select circumstances. Close contact is maintained with the customer over the duration of the lease to ensure visibility to issues as, and if, they arise.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly-rated financial institutions.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets, except that the credit risk associated with the finance lease receivable is mitigated because the lease receivables are secured over the leased equipment.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a significant portion of its Bank Facilities for future drawings to meet the Company's future growth targets. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $28.1 million committed against the Bank Facilities, leaving $296.9 million available for future drawings plus cash and cash equivalents of $88.0 million at that date.
A liquidity analysis of the Company's financial instruments has been completed on a maturity basis. The following table outlines the cash flows including interest associated with the maturity of the Company's financial liabilities:
Less Greater

The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2012, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and credit facilities, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital, and capital assets.
Note 21. Capital Disclosures
The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders' equity plus net debt. The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue to grow while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balances. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new Company shares, or access debt markets.
The Company formally reviews the capital structure on an annual basis and monitors it on an on-going basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. In order to position itself to execute its long-term plan to become a leading supplier of products and services to the global energy sector, the Company is maintaining a conservative statement of financial position. The Company uses the following measure to monitor its capital structure:
Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio
The Company targets a net debt-to-equity ratio of less than 1.00:1. As at March 31, 2012, the net debt-to-equity was 0.03:1 (December 31, 2011 - 0.05:1), calculated as follows:

Note 26. Seasonality
The oil and natural gas service sector in Canada has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflex's Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while the Service and Rentals product line revenues are stable throughout the year. Rentals revenues are also impacted by both the Company's and its customer's capital investment decisions. The international markets are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends usually occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
Note 27. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company declared its first quarter dividend of $0.06 per share, payable on July 5, 2012, to shareholders of record on June 19, 2012.
Also subsequent to March 31, 2012, Gas Drive, a limited partnership of Enerflex, has taken steps to reduce operating costs as a result of weak natural gas prices and the corresponding decline in dry gas production. This has resulted in a reduction of its administrative workforce at certain Canadian branches. Enerflex will record a reorganization expense of approximately $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2012. The Company will continue to focus on the opportunities for growth and position itself strategically to support its customers in all Gas Drive service territories.
