Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Information

Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we,” “our,” or the “Company” herein. We are a provider of highly engineered industrial process heating solutions for process industries. Our core thermal solutions product - also referred to as heat tracing - provides an external heat source to pipes, vessels and instruments for the purposes of freeze protection, temperature and flow maintenance, environmental monitoring, and surface snow and ice melting. As a manufacturer, we provide a suite of products (heating cables, tubing bundles and control systems) and services (design optimization, engineering, installation and maintenance services) required to deliver comprehensive solutions to complex projects. In addition to our thermal solution offerings, we offer temporary power products that are designed to provide a safe and efficient means of supplying temporary electrical power distribution and lighting at energy infrastructure facilities for new construction and during maintenance and turnaround projects at operating facilities.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2017. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, and the results of our operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Use of Estimates
Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. While our management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at September 30, 2017, actual results could differ from those estimates and affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the corresponding revenues and expenses as of the date of the financial statements.  The operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made within these consolidated financial statements to conform prior periods to current period classifications. On the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017, we reduced the previously reported balance of prepaid expenses and other current assets by $2,000 and increased income tax receivable by the same amount. The income tax receivable amounts relate to tax payments or accruals made currently, which have not been included in tax returns filed within their respective jurisdictions. The Company believes that presenting these amounts as current income tax receivables provides a better understanding of our position related to taxation obligations.   

Subsequent Events
On October 3, 2017, 2071827 Alberta Ltd. ("MergerSub"), a newly created, indirect and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Definitive Agreements (as defined below) to purchase 100% of the equity interests of CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. ("CCI") and certain related real estate assets (collectively, the "CCI Acquisition"). CCI is engaged in industrial process heating, focused on the development and production of advanced heating and filtration solutions for industrial and hazardous area applications and is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the Definitive Agreements and the other transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreements.
The total cash consideration to be paid upon closing of the CCI Acquisition (the "Closing") is $258.0 million CAD (approximately $206.4 million USD at the exchange rate as of October 4, 2017), $204.0 million CAD of which will be paid by MergerSub for approximately 89.9% of the equity interests of CCI pursuant to that certain share purchase agreement dated October 3, 2017 (the "Share Purchase Agreement") among MergerSub, Camary Holdings, Ltd. ("Camary") and Rocor Holdings, Ltd. ("Rocor"), and $23.0 million CAD of which will be paid by MergerSub at Closing for the remaining 10.1% of the equity interests of CCI pursuant to certain employee share purchase agreements dated October 3, 2017 (the "Employee Share Agreements" and, together with the Share Purchase Agreement, the "Definitive Agreements") among MergerSub and certain current and former employee shareholders of CCI ("Employee Shareholders"). These amounts are subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including a working capital adjustment. In a separate but related transaction, MergerSub will pay $31.0 million CAD to Whitemud Place Properties Inc. at Closing for three parcels of real estate currently being used in the operation of CCI's business in Canada.
The CCI Acquisition is expected to close in the Company's third fiscal quarter, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions. MergerSub and CCI will amalgamate immediately following the Closing. The Definitive Agreements provide for customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnifications and agreements, including, among others, that all parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the CCI Acquisition and that CCI will conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Definitive Agreements and the Closing. The post-closing liabilities of Camary, Rocor and the Employee Shareholders have been limited pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreements. Breaches of certain representations and warranties by Camary and Rocor are expected to be insured under an insurance policy.
In addition, pursuant to the share purchase agreement, MergerSub paid a $5.0 million CAD cash deposit (the "Deposit") upon execution of the Definitive Agreements to be held in escrow until the earlier of Closing or forfeiture by the Company. The Deposit will be fully applied to the purchase price payable at Closing. The Deposit will become non-refundable to the Company on or about October 30, 2017 if the CCI Acquisition fails to close due to insufficient financing.
The transaction will be financed with a combination of cash on hand and a new senior secured debt facility. Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Definitive Agreements, Thermon Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a commitment letter dated October 3, 2017 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan") whereby JPMorgan committed to provide debt financing for the CCI Acquisition consisting of a $250.0 million USD senior secured term loan B facility (the "Term Facility") and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $60.0 million USD (the "Revolving Facility," and together with the Term Facility, the "Facilities"). The obligation of JPMorgan to provide debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter is subject to a number of customary conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, including, without limitation, execution and delivery by the borrowers and the guarantors of definitive credit agreement documentation consistent with the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. The Company intends to use part of the loan proceeds to refinance its existing term loan facility as well as complete the CCI Acquisition and pay certain related fees and associated expenses.
The Company intends to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with the CCI Acquisition's Canadian dollar denominated purchase price and has entered into non-designated option contracts with a notional value of $200.0 million CAD at a weighted average strike price of 1.244 Canadian dollars per US dollar. These option contracts will expire on October 30, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    
Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which amends the existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption.
    
To assess the impact of the standard, we utilize internal resources to lead the implementation effort and supplement them with an independent external resource. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company, after engaging an independent external firm to assist, selected a sample of customer contracts that we believe fairly represent specifically identified contract traits that could be accounted for differently under amended guidance. In performing the contract review, we will be evaluating the potential impacts of the new revenue standard on the recognition and classification of contract revenue and the potential capitalization of contract costs. The contract reviews are currently in process and we anticipate the comprehensive review of the sample contracts to be completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018. After this work is complete, we believe we will have identified all material contract types and costs that may be impacted by this amended guidance. The Company is currently planning to adopt the amended guidance using the modified retrospective method as of April 1, 2018.
    
Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (Topic 718), which changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. Additionally, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity and will be included as an operating activity on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The guidance allows for an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Inventory- In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (Topic 330). Under the new guidance, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the new guidance eliminates the use of replacement cost and net realizable value less a normal profit margin as techniques to value inventory. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The new guidance will be applied prospectively for annual periods and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments- In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 “Financial Instruments-Overall” (Subtopic 825-10), which amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through earnings. The amendment also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the credit risk when an entity has elected the fair value option. The guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions of the accounting standards update. Upon adoption of the standard, an entity will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of such reporting period. We are currently evaluating when to adopt this standard. Upon adoption, we do not anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842), which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure on leases. Under the standard, substantially all leases will be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of the standard and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments- In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326), which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The standard adds an impairment model, referred to as current expected credit loss, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The standard applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, reinsurance receivables, financial guarantees and loan commitments. Under the guidance, companies are required to disclose credit quality indicators disaggregated by year of origination for a five-year period. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We do not anticipate this will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows- In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows” (Topic 230), which amends Topic 230 of the accounting standards codification (ASC) to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The standard addresses eight types of cash flows, some of which we believe could or will impact our financial statements upon adoption, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. Under the guidance, cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs must be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Contingent consideration payments that were not made soon after a business combination must be separated and classified in operating and financing activities. Cash payments up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized as of the acquisition dates, including any measurement-period adjustments, should be classified in financing activities, while any excess cash payments should be classified in operating activities. Cash proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the nature of the loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. We do not anticipate this will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
