EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pattern Energy Group Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Form 10-Q/A”) to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2014 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) to correct errors in the computation and disclosure of Class A diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The previously reported calculation did not correctly consider that upon the commercial operation date of South Kent on March 28, 2014, the “if-converted” method of calculating diluted earnings per share would result in a more dilutive result than the previously applied “two-class” method. The more dilutive result of these methods should have been reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Specifically, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates Item 1 of Part I of the Original Form 10-Q so that the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited) correctly state that (a) diluted loss per share of Class A common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $(0.29), and (b) the diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 51,421,931 (see Note 14 to the financial statements). In addition, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates (i) Item 4 of Part of I of the Original Form 10-Q to include a description of the material weakness in internal controls in connection with the restatement and (ii) Item 6 of Part II of the Original Form 10-Q to indicate that we are filing the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A, formatted in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).

The corrections to diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock have no impact on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, including net loss, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2014, or the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Except as specifically noted above, the remainder of the Original Form 10-Q is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Form 10-Q/A. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits hereto.

This Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q, which continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q. Except as specifically noted above, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify or update disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q or modify or update any related or other disclosures.

Pattern Energy Group Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Pattern Energy Group Inc. (“Pattern Energy” or the “Company”) was organized in the state of Delaware on October 2, 2012. Pattern Energy issued 100 shares on October 17, 2012 to Pattern Renewables LP, a 100% owned subsidiary of Pattern Energy Group LP (“Pattern Development”). On September 24, 2013, Pattern Energy’s charter was amended, and the number of shares that Pattern Energy is authorized to issue was increased to 620,000,000 total shares; 500,000,000 of which are designated Class A common stock, 20,000,000 of which are designated Class B common stock, and 100,000,000 of which are designated Preferred Stock.

Pattern Energy is an independent energy generation company focused on constructing, owning and operating energy projects with long-term energy sales contracts located in the United States, Canada and Chile. The Company consists of the consolidated operations of certain entities and assets contributed by Pattern Development. The Company owns 100% of Hatchet Ridge Wind, LLC (“Hatchet Ridge”), St. Joseph Windfarm Inc. (“St. Joseph”), Spring Valley Wind LLC (“Spring Valley”), Pattern Santa Isabel LLC (“Santa Isabel”) and Ocotillo Express LLC (“Ocotillo”). The Company owns a controlling interest in Pattern Gulf Wind Holdings LLC (“Gulf Wind”) and noncontrolling interests in South Kent Wind LP (“South Kent”), Grand Renewable Wind LP (“Grand”) and AEI-Pattern Holding Limitada (“El Arrayán”). The principal business objective of the Company is to produce stable and sustainable cash flows through the generation and sale of energy.

Initial Public Offering and Contribution Transactions

On October 2, 2013, Pattern Energy issued 16,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) generating net proceeds of approximately $317.0 million. Concurrent with the IPO, Pattern Energy issued 19,445,000 shares of Class A common stock and 15,555,000 shares of Class B common stock to Pattern Development and utilized approximately $232.6 million of the net proceeds of the IPO as a portion of the consideration to Pattern Development for certain entities and assets contributed to Pattern Energy (“Contribution Transactions”) consisting of interests in eight wind power projects, including six projects in operation (Gulf Wind, Hatchet Ridge, St. Joseph, Spring Valley, Santa Isabel and Ocotillo), and two projects under construction (El Arrayán and South Kent). In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5, Transactions between Entities under Common Control, Pattern Energy recognized the assets and liabilities contributed by Pattern Development at their historical carrying amounts at the date of the Contribution Transactions. On October 8, 2013, Pattern Energy’s underwriters exercised in full their overallotment option to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Class A common stock from Pattern Development, the selling stockholder, pursuant to the overallotment option granted by Pattern Development.

In connection with the Contribution Transactions, Pattern Development retained a 40% portion of the interest in Gulf Wind previously held by it such that, at the completion of the IPO, Pattern Energy, Pattern Development and the joint venture partner held interests of approximately 40%, 27% and 33%, respectively, of the distributable cash flow of Gulf Wind, together with certain allocated tax items.

Effective with Pattern Energy’s IPO, Pattern Development’s project operations and maintenance personnel and certain of its executive officers became Pattern Energy employees and their employment with Pattern Development was terminated. Pattern Development retained those employees whose primary responsibilities relate to project development, legal, financial or other administrative functions. Pattern Energy entered into a bilateral services agreement with Pattern Development, or the “Management Services Agreement”, that provides for Pattern Energy and Pattern Development to benefit, primarily on a cost-reimbursement basis, from the respective management and other professional, technical and administrative personnel of the respective companies, all of whom report to and are managed by Pattern Energy’s executive officers.

Basis of Presentation

Pattern Energy was formed by Pattern Development for the purpose of an IPO. For periods prior to October 2, 2013, Pattern Energy was a shell company, with expenses of less than $10,000 for 2013 and 2012. In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-6, the historical financial statements of Pattern Energy’s predecessor, which consist of the combined financial statements of a combination of entities and assets contributed by Pattern Development to Pattern Energy, are consolidated with Pattern Energy from the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information reflects all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2014, the results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. This Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As of March 31, 2014, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They include the results of wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Unaudited Pro Forma Income Tax

In order to present the tax effect of the Contribution Transactions, the Company has presented a pro forma income tax provision as if the Contribution Transactions occurred effective January 1, 2012 and as if the Company were under control of a Subchapter C-Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and derivative assets. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality institutions.

The Company sells electricity and environmental attributes, including renewable energy credits, primarily to creditworthy utilities under long-term, fixed-priced Power Sale Agreements (“PPAs”). The table below presents significant customers who accounted for the following percentages of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2014     2013  

Manitoba Hydro

     23.12     21.70

Pacific Gas & Electric Company

     16.81     15.42

Electric Reliability Council of Texas

     14.71     12.95

The Company’s derivative assets are placed with counterparties that are creditworthy institutions. A derivative asset was generated from Credit Suisse Energy LLC, the counterparty to a 10-year fixed-for-floating swap related to annual electricity generation at the Company’s Gulf Wind project. The Company’s reimbursements for prepaid interconnect network upgrades are with large creditworthy utility companies.

Reclassification

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported balance sheet subtotals, results of operations or retained earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” to amend the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. An entity shall provide this information together in one location, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are prospective and effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. For nonpublic companies, ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. As a result of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act enacted in April 2012, emerging growth companies can elect to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards for public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, as such, the Company adopted ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2014. As this update only requires additional disclosures, adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 for disclosures on the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in our consolidated statements of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in the financial statements for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax laws of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. When those circumstances exist, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. For the Company, ASU 2013-11 will be effective on January 1, 2015, as a result of the JOBS Act enacted in April 2012, which allows emerging growth companies to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update, but we do not anticipate a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

The Company recorded depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment of $20.8 million and $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In June 2013, the Company received $115.9 million and $57.6 million for Ocotillo and Santa Isabel, respectively, under a cash grant in lieu of investment tax credit (Cash Grant) from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In December 2012, the Company received $79.9 million for Spring Valley under a Cash Grant from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Company recorded the cash proceeds as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related wind farm assets which resulted in the assets being recorded at lower amounts.

The Cash Grants received for Ocotillo, Santa Isabel and Spring Valley reduced depreciation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations by approximately $3.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

In November 2012, certain of our subsidiaries entered into a $120.0 million revolving working capital facility with a four-year term, comprised of a revolving loan facility and a letter of credit facility, which we refer to collectively as our “revolving credit facility.” The revolving credit facility has an “accordion feature” under which the Company had the right to increase available borrowings by up to $35.0 million if the Company’s lenders or other additional lenders are willing to lend on the same terms and meet certain other conditions.

Collateral for the revolving credit facility consists of the Company’s membership interests in certain of the Company’s holding company subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains a broad range of covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to incur debt, grant liens, sell or lease assets, transfer equity interests, dissolve, pay distributions and change its business.

In March 2014, the Company exercised the accordion feature by increasing available borrowings by an additional $25.0 million, resulting in an aggregate facility amount of $145.0 million. Simultaneously, the Ocotillo project was added to the collateral pool that supports the revolving credit facility.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, letters of credit of $47.1 million and $44.8 million, respectively, have been issued and loans of $56.0 million were drawn and repaid during 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding balances on the revolving credit facility.

 

8. Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s asset retirement obligations represent the estimated cost, at all of its projects, of decommissioning the turbines, removing above-ground installations and restoring the sites at a date that is 20 years from the commencement of commercial operations of the facility.

Gulf Wind

In 2010, Gulf Wind entered into interest rate swaps with each of its lenders to manage exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt. The fixed interest rate is set at 6.6% for years two through eight and 7.1% and 7.6% for the last two years of the loan term, respectively. The interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting and were designated as cash flow hedges. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company reclassified $1.4 million into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

In 2010, Gulf Wind also entered into an interest rate cap to manage exposure to future interest rates when its long-term debt is expected to be refinanced at the end of the ten-year term. The cap protects the Company if future interest rates exceed approximately 6.0%. The cap has an effective date of March 31, 2020, terminates on December 31, 2024, and has a notional amount of $42.1 million which reduces quarterly during its term. The cap is a derivative but does not qualify for hedge accounting and has not been designated. The Company recognized unrealized losses of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 in unrealized (loss) gain on derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations. An immaterial loss was recorded during the same period in the previous year.

In 2010, Gulf Wind acquired an energy derivative instrument to manage its exposure to variable electricity prices. The energy price swap fixes the price of approximately 58% of its electricity generation through April 2019. The energy derivative instrument is a derivative but did not meet the criteria required to adopt hedge accounting. The energy derivative instrument’s fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $60.6 million and $68.4 million, respectively. Gulf Wind recognized losses of $7.7 million, and $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in unrealized loss on energy derivative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Spring Valley

In 2011, Spring Valley entered into interest rate swaps with its lenders to manage exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The interest rate swaps exchange variable interest rate payments for fixed interest rate payments of approximately 5.5% for the first four years of its term debt and increases by 0.25% every four years, thereafter. The interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting and were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassified $1.3 million and $1.2 million into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Ocotillo

In October 2012, Ocotillo entered into interest rate swaps with its lenders to manage exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt. The interest rate swaps exchange variable interest rate payments for fixed interest rate payments of approximately 2.5% and 2.2% for the development bank term loans and the commercial bank term loans, respectively. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The interest rate swaps for the development bank loans qualify for hedge accounting and were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassified $0.5 million into earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014. No amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The interest rate swaps for the commercial bank loans are undesignated derivatives that are used to mitigate exposure to variable interest rate debt.

11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s fair value measurements incorporate various factors, including the credit standing and performance risk of the counterparties, the applicable exit market, and specific risks inherent in the instrument. Nonperformance and credit risk adjustments on risk management instruments are based on current market inputs when available, such as credit default hedge spreads. When such information is not available, internal models may be used.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the combined financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuations technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Short-term financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. Based on the nature and short maturity of these instruments their fair value is approximated using carrying cost and they are presented in the Company’s financial statements at carrying cost. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial assets and (liabilities) which require fair value measurement on a recurring basis are classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands):

Level 2 Inputs

Derivative instruments subject to re-measurement are presented in the financial statements at fair value. The interest rate swaps and interest rate cap were valued by discounting the net cash flows using the forward LIBOR curve with the valuations adjusted by the counterparties’ credit default hedge rate. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods presented.

Level 3 Inputs

The fair value of the contingent liabilities is based upon the time of realization and the probability of the contingent event. An unobservable discount rate of 7% was used to determine the present value of the contractual liabilities and an unobservable probability factor of 75% was assigned to the contingent event prior to realization after considering contract terms, land rights, interconnect network, and environmental permits. The significant primary unobservable input used for contingent liabilities is the probability factor. Significant increases or decreases in this unobservable input would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The energy derivative instrument was valued by discounting the projected net cash flows over the remaining life of the derivative instrument using forward energy curves adjusted by a nonperformance risk factor. The significant unobservable input in calculating the fair value of the energy derivative instrument is forward electricity prices, which are derived from and impacted by changes in forward natural gas prices. Significant increases or decreases in this unobservable input would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent liabilities and the energy derivative contract measured at fair value, in thousands, on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the periods presented.

Long term debt is presented on the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of variable interest rate long-term debt is approximated by its carrying cost. The fair value of fixed interest rate long-term debt is estimated based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied, using the net present value of cash flow streams over the term using estimated market rates for similar instruments and remaining terms.

 

12. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making

 

18


Table of Contents

such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company files income tax returns in various jurisdictions and is subject to examination by various tax authorities. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has a policy to classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions together with the related liability, and the expenses incurred related to such accruals, if any, are included as a component of income tax expense.

 

13. Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to stock options granted to employees by estimating the fair value of the stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortizing the fair value over the applicable vesting period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards by measuring the fair value of the restricted stock awards at the grant date and amortizing the fair value on a straight line basis over the applicable vesting period.

Total stock-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.5 million and zero, respectively.

 

14. Earnings (Loss) per Share - As Restated

The Company computes earnings per share (EPS) for Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method for participating securities and the if-converted method for Class B common stock, if these securities are considered dilutive for Class A. The rights, including voting and liquidation rights, of the holders of the Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to dividends, as the Class B common stock is not entitled to dividends.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, for each respective class of stock. Net income attributable to common stockholders is allocated to each class of common stock considering dividends declared or accumulated during the current period that must be paid for the current period and the allocation of undistributed earnings to the extent that each class of stock may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Because our Class B shares are not entitled to dividends, undistributed earnings, if any, would be allocated entirely to the Class A shares.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, for each respective class of stock. Potentially dilutive common stock includes the dilutive effect of the common stock underlying in-the-money stock options and is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common stock also reflects the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock awards.

Class B common stock is a contingently convertible security which is convertible to Class A common stock on a one-to-one basis on the later of December 31, 2014 or commencement of commercial operations of the South Kent wind project. The computation of diluted EPS of Class A common stock would include the impact of the conversion of the Class B common stock, if dilutive for Class A, using the if-converted method once the contingency surrounding the conversion has been met. On March 28, 2014, commercial operations commenced at the South Kent wind project and as a result, the outstanding Class B common stock will be converted to Class A common stock on December 31, 2014.

In periods of net loss, the loss is allocated by first considering any dividends declared or accumulated to Class A common stock. While Class B is not entitled to dividends, because it has the same voting, liquidation and residual rights as Class A, the remaining undistributed loss is allocated equally per share to weighted average Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the year. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, all potentially dilutive securities were included in the diluted EPS calculation.

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company identified errors in the computation and disclosure of Class A diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The previously reported calculation did not correctly consider that upon the commercial operation date of South Kent on March 28, 2014, the “if-converted” method of calculating diluted earnings per share would result in a more dilutive result than the previously applied “two-class” method. The more dilutive result of these methods should have been reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company has become involved in claims and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Power Purchase Agreements

The Company has various PPAs that terminate from 2025 to 2039. The terms of the PPAs generally provide for the annual delivery of a minimum amount of electricity at fixed prices and in some cases include price escalation over the term of the respective PPAs. As of March 31, 2014, under the terms of the PPAs, the Company issued irrevocable letters of credit totaling $57.2 million to ensure its performance for the duration of the PPAs.

Project Finance Agreements

The Company has various project finance agreements which obligate the Company to provide certain reserves to enhance its credit worthiness and facilitate the availability of credit. As of March 31, 2014, the Company issued irrevocable letters of credit totaling $151.3 million, of which $47.1 million was from the Company’s revolving credit facility, to ensure performance under these various project finance agreements.

Land Leases

The Company has entered into various long-term land lease agreements. As of March 31, 2014, total outstanding lease commitments were $108.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded rent expense of $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in project expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Operations and Maintenance

The Company has six operating projects that have entered into service and maintenance agreements with third party contractors to provide operations and maintenance services and incremental improvements for varying periods over the next twelve years. As of March 31, 2014, outstanding commitments with these vendors were $241.1 million, payable over the full term of these agreements.

Purchase Commitments

The Company has entered into various commitments with service providers related to the Company’s projects and operations of its business. Outstanding commitments with these vendors, excluding turbine operations and maintenance commitments were $4.1 million as of March 31, 2014.

Purchase and Sales Agreements

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Pattern Development to acquire approximately 80% of the ownership interest in Panhandle 2, a 182 MW wind project being built in Carson County, Texas, for approximately $122.9 million in cash. The acquisition, which includes assumption by the Company of certain tax indemnities, is expected to close in fourth quarter of 2014 upon completion of construction, and the Company expects to fund the purchase with available cash and credit facilities.

On December 20, 2013, the Company acquired a 45.0% interest in Grand from Pattern Development. Subject to the terms of this agreement, to the extent that the project makes a special distribution as result of construction cost underruns, the Company will make an additional contingent payment of up to $4.7 million to Pattern Development in 2014.

Capital Contribution Obligation

The Company is committed to providing additional capital funding of up to $2.5 million to its investment in El Arrayán to fund final construction costs.

Turbine Availability Warranties

In 2013, the Company entered into warranty settlements with a turbine manufacturer for blade related wind turbine outages. The warranty settlements provide for total liquidated damage payments of approximately $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received payments of $24.1 million in connection with these warranty settlements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an accrued liability of $2.0 million related to the maximum future refund of liquidated damage payments to the turbine manufacturer. The warranty settlements received, net of the maximum potential future refund to the wind turbine manufacturer, have been recorded as other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

Indemnity

The Company provides a variety of indemnities in the ordinary course of business to contractual counterparties and to our lenders and other financial partners. Hatchet Ridge agreed to indemnify the lender that provided financing for Hatchet Ridge against certain tax losses in connection with its sale-leaseback financing transaction in December 2010. The indemnity agreement is effective for the duration of the sale-leaseback financing.

The Company is party to certain indemnities for the benefit of the Spring Valley, Santa Isabel and Ocotillo project finance lenders. These indemnity obligations consist principally of indemnities that protect the project finance lenders from the potential effect of any recapture by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or “U.S. Treasury,” of any amount of the ITC cash grants previously received by the projects. The ITC cash grant indemnity obligations guarantee amounts of any cash grant made to each of the respective projects that may subsequently be recaptured. In addition, the Company is also party to an indemnity of our Ocotillo project finance lenders in connection with certain legal matters, which is limited to the amount of certain related costs and expenses.

The Company agreed to indemnify third parties against certain tax losses in connection with monetization of tax credits under the Economic Incentives for the Development of Puerto Rico Act of May 28, 2008 up to a maximum amount of $7.2 million.

17. Related Party Transactions

From inception to October 1, 2013, the Company’s project management and administrative activities were provided by Pattern Development. Costs associated with these activities were allocated to the Company and recorded in its consolidated statements of operations. Allocated costs include cash and non-cash compensation, other direct, general and administrative costs, and non-operating costs deemed allocable to the Company. Measurement of allocated costs is based principally on time devoted to the Company by officers and employees of Pattern Development. The Company believes the allocated costs presented in its consolidated statements of operations are a reasonable estimate of actual costs incurred to operate the business. The allocated costs are not the result of arms-length, free-market dealings.

Management Services Agreement and Shared Management

Effective October 2, 2013, the Company entered into a bilateral Management Services Agreement with Pattern Development which provides for the Company and Pattern Development to benefit, primarily on a cost-reimbursement basis, plus a 5% fee on certain direct costs, from the parties’ respective management and other professional, technical and administrative personnel, all of whom will report to and be managed by the Company’s executive officers. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, where certain of the Company’s executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer, will also serve as executive officers of Pattern Development and devote their time to both the Company and Pattern Development as is prudent in carrying out their executive responsibilities and fiduciary duties. The Company refers to the employees who will serve as executive officers of both the Company and Pattern Development as the “shared PEG executives.” The shared PEG executives will have responsibilities for both the Company and Pattern Development and, as a result, these individuals will not devote all of their time to the Company’s business. Under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, Pattern Development is required to reimburse the Company for an allocation of the compensation paid to such executives reflecting the percentage of time spent providing services to Pattern Development.

The table below presents allocated costs prior to October 2, 2013 and net bilateral management service cost reimbursements on and after October 2, 2013 included in the consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Prior to the Contribution Transactions, the Company had purchase arrangements with Pattern Development under which the latter purchased various services and supplies on behalf of the Company and received reimbursement for these purchases. The amounts payable to Pattern Development for these purchases were $1.2 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Letters of credit, indemnities and guarantees

Pattern Development agreed to guarantee $14.0 million of El Arrayán’s payment obligations to a lender that has provided a $20 million credit facility for financing of El Arrayán’s recoverable, construction-period value added tax payments. The remaining $6.0 million of the credit facility has been guaranteed by another investor in El Arrayán.

Purchase and Sales Agreements

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Pattern Development to acquire approximately 80% of the ownership interest in Panhandle 2, a 182 MW wind project being built in Carson County, Texas, for approximately $122.9 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014 upon completion of construction, and the Company expects to fund the purchase with available cash and credit facilities.

On December 20, 2013, the Company acquired a 45.0% equity interest in Grand from Pattern Development. Subject to the terms of this agreement, the Company may make an additional contingent payment of up to $4.7 million, as calculated based on final budget to actual amounts and distributions payable upon conversion of construction financing, to Pattern Development in 2014.

Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA)

The Company’s Santa Isabel project was in a dispute with PREPA over the appropriate rate being charged to the project for the electric services it uses. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the difference between what the Company believes is the appropriate monthly charge and PREPA’s bill was resolved in principle, and billing is now per the understanding between the parties. Pattern Development provided the Company with an indemnity to mitigate the economic impact on the Company of this dispute.

Management fees

The Company provides management services and receives a fee for such services under an agreement with South Kent, Grand and El Arrayán, its joint venture investees. Management fees of $0.4 million and an immaterial amount were recorded as related party revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and a related party receivable of $0.4 million and $0.2 million was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company eliminates the intercompany profit from management fees related to its ownership interest in the joint ventures.

The Company provides management, operations and maintenance services under an agreement with Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC beginning in 2014. The agreement has an initial term of ten years from the commencement of commercial operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0.1 million in related party income in the consolidated income statements. The Company did not incur any revenue under this agreement in the same period in the prior year.

 

18. Subsequent Events

On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to acquire its ownership interests in Panhandle 1. The Company agreed to acquire a 179 MW interest in the 218 MW Panhandle 1 project following the commencement of commercial operations (the “Panhandle 1 closing date”), for approximately $125.0 million, subject to certain price adjustments based on final project size, design and modeling assumptions, to be funded on the Panhandle 1 closing date.

On April 30, 2014, the Company declared its second quarter 2014 dividend, payable on July 30, 2014, to holders of record on June 30, 2014, in the amount of $0.322 per Class A share, which represents $1.288 on an annualized basis, an increase from the first quarter 2014 dividend of $0.3125.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, promulgated by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, because of a material weakness existing in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, are not effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, as of March 31, 2014. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management determined that the Company did not maintain effective controls over the calculation and reporting of earnings per share. Specifically, the Company identified deficiencies with respect to design and operation of controls over the methodology used to calculate Class A diluted earnings per share, which resulted in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. The Company has since modified its procedures with respect to the process of calculating earnings per share, including additional instruction to the Company’s accounting staff on the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Management considers the steps underway will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness noted above.

Based on the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure the reliability of financial reporting, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report are fairly stated in all material respects.

Management continuously reviews disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting, and accordingly may, from time to time, make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness to ensure that its systems evolve with its business.
