Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(Unaudited - See Notice to Reader)

 
 
1.         CORPORATE INFORMATION

Lingo Media Corporation (“Lingo Media” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of Ontario and its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and inter-listed on the OTCBB. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.

Lingo Media Corporation is an ESL industry acquisition company in online and print-based education product and services.  The Company is focused on English language learning (“ELL”) on an international scale through its four distinct business units: ELL Technologies Limited (“ELL Technologies”); Parlo Corporation (“Parlo”); Speak2Me Inc. (“Speak2Me”); and Lingo Learning Inc. (“Lingo Learning”).  ELL Technologies is a globally-established ELL multi-media and online training company marketed under the Q Group brand.  Parlo is a fee-based online ELL training and assessment service.  Speak2Me is a free-to-consumer advertising-based online ELL service in China.  Lingo Learning is a print-based publisher of ELL programs in China.

The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 151 Bloor Street West, Suite 703, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1S4.

2.        BASIS OF PREPRATION

2.1           Statement of compliance and going concern

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency as at March 31, 2012 and has incurred significant losses recurring over the years. This raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional financing through share issuance, borrowing, sales contracts and distribution agreements. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012 (including comparatives) were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on May 30, 2012.

2.2           Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The comparative figures presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are in accordance with IFRS.
 
2.3           Basis of consolidation
 
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. subsidiaries) as at March 31, 2012. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All inter-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from inter-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

2.        BASIS OF PREPRATION (Cont’d)

2.4           Functional and presentation currency
 
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Group. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency. The functional currency of Speak2Me Inc. is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and the functional currency of its ELL Technologies subsidiary is the United States Dollar (“US$”).
 
The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.

3.        SIGINFICANT ACCOUTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
 
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period.
 
Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these 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 further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
 
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
 
·
Determination of functional and presentation currency
 
·
Determination of impairment loss
 
·
Income taxes
 
·
Valuation of share-based payments
 
4.        SUMMARY OF SIGINFICANT ACCOUTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In October 2007, the Company acquired Speak2Me, an online media company that has developed software combining speech recognition and animation technology for the teaching and practice of spoken English.  From that point until late 2009, the Company continued to develop this technology and capitalized it as software and web development costs.  Upon acquisition of ELL Technologies in 2010, the Company started capitalizing costs related to their new software and web development initiatives.

The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 2011 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares of the Company granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism.
 
The exercise price of each option cannot be less than the market price of the shares on the day immediately preceding the day of the grant less any permitted discount.  The exercise period of the options granted cannot exceed 10 years.  Options granted under the 2011 Plan do not have any required vesting provisions. The Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, amend or revise the terms of the 2011 Plan or may terminate it at any time.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to employees, consultants and directors has been estimated at $0.47 (2011 - $0.44) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is expensed over the options vesting periods. The pricing model assumes the weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.50% (2011 – 1.78%) weighted average expected dividend yields of NIL (2011 – NIL), the weighted average expected common stock price volatility (based on historical trading) of 80% (2011 – 81%) and a weighted average expected life of 5 years (2011 – 5 years), which were estimated based on past experience with options and option contract specifics.

12.      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)
 
Foreign currency risk
 
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk as certain expenditures are denominated in non-Canadian Dollar currencies.
 
Liquidity risk
 
The Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasts of cash expenditures to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due.  The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally have maturities of less than 90 days.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of $175,283, accounts and grants receivable of $895,370 and prepaid and other receivables of $107,248 to settle current liabilities of $1,527,527.
 
13.     CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
The Company’s primary objectives when managing capital are to (a) safeguard the Company’s ability to develop, market, distribute and sell English language learning products, and (b) provide a sound capital structure for raising capital at a reasonable cost for the funding of ongoing development of its products and new growth initiatives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
 
The Company includes equity, comprised of issued share capital, warrants, share-based payments reserve and deficit, in the definition of capital. The Company is dependent on cash flow from co-publishing and distribution agreements and external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out planned development of its products and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.  There has been no change to the Company’s capital management in 2012 or 2011.
