Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

(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 OTC Bulletin Board. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the period ended March 31, 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.


Lingo Media Corporation is an English as a Second Language (“ESL”) industry acquisition company in online and print-based education products 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. 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.

 

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, 2013 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, 2013 were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on May 29, 2013.

 

2.2     Basis of measurement

 

These condensed consolidated interim 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 consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. subsidiaries) as at March 31, 2013. 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 (“USD”).


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 condensed consolidated interim 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 the recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill

 

Determination of impairment loss

 

Recognition of deferred tax assets

 

Valuation of share-based payments

 

Recognition of provisions and contingent liabilities


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, 2012.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each a "Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 per share until September 4, 2012.

 

The Warrants are callable, at the option of Lingo Media, after July 5, 2011 in the event its Common Shares trade at or over $1.20 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Financing, if all Warrants are exercised, is 7,317,336 Common Shares for gross proceeds of $4,939,201.

 

In connection with the Financing, the Company agreed to pay a 7% finder's fee payable in cash (the "Cash Finder's Fee") or Units (the "Finder's Units") to eligible persons (the "Finders"), along with finder's warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 6% of the Units placed by the Finder in the Financing. Each Finder Unit entitles the holder to one Common Share and one Warrant.

b)

Common shares - Transactions: (Cont’d)

 

 

(i)

Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share of Lingo at $0.60 until September 4, 2012. On closing, the Company issued 23,333 Finder's Units, 151,620 Finder's Warrants and paid a $92,135 Cash Finder's Fee to the Finders. The Loan lenders waived their right to be repaid $0.50 of every $1.00 raised by Lingo Media through this financing.

 

In the absence of a reliable measure of the services received, the services have been measured at the value of the finder’s warrants issued. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumption: weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.78% weighted average expected dividend yields of NIL, the weighted average expected common stock price volatility (based on historical trading) of 83%, a forfeiture rate of zero, a stock price of $0.72, and a weighted average expected life of 1.5 years.

 

On August 23, 2012, the expiry date of the Warrants was extended for additional 18 months to March 4, 2014.

 

 

(ii)

On May 11, 2011, Lingo Media closed a non-brokered private placement financing of 1,875,000 units at $0.60 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,125,000 (the "Second Financing"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 per share until November 11, 2012. The Warrants are callable, at the option of Lingo Media, after September 11, 2011 in the event its Common Shares trade at or over $1.20 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

 

In connection with the Second Financing, the Company agreed to pay a 7% Cash Finder’s Fee along with Finder's Warrants equal to 6% of the Units placed by the Finder in the Financing. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share of Lingo at $0.60 until November 11, 2012. On closing, the Company issued 78,900 Finder's Warrants and paid a $55,230 Cash Finder's Fee to the Finders. The lenders waived their right to be repaid $0.50 of every $1.00 raised by Lingo Media through this Second Financing. At December 31, 2012, the Finder’s Warrants had expired.

 

In the absence of a reliable measure of the services received, the services have been measured at the value of the finder’s warrants issued. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumption: weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.51% weighted average expected dividend yields of NIL, the weighted average expected common stock price volatility (based on historical trading) of 65%, a forfeiture rate of zero, a stock price of $0.80, and a weighted average expected life of 1.5 years.

 

On August 23, 2012, the expiry date of the Warrants from the Second Financing was extended for an additional 18 months to May 11, 2014.

10.     SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Cont’d)


The maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan is limited to 4,108,635 common shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan, the 2005 Plan and the 2009 Plan, provided that the Board of Directors of the Company has the right, from time to time, to increase such number subject to the approval of the relevant exchange on which the shares are listed and the approval of the shareholders of the Company.


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 following summarizes the options outstanding:

The range of exercise prices for the stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2013 was $0.24 - $2.00 (2012 - $0.70 - $2.00). The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to employees, consultants and directors during the period has been estimated at $0.24 (2012 - $0.47) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is expensed over the options vesting periods.

 

The vesting periods on the options granted in the past year are as follows, 550,000 stock options vested immediately upon issuance, 750,000 stock options will vest quarterly over 18 months, and 400,000 stock options will vest upon four consecutive quarters of Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization.

13.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Fair values


The carrying value of cash and accounts and grants receivable, approximates its fair value due to the liquidity of these instruments. The carrying value of accounts payables and accrued liabilities and loans payables approximates its fair value due to the requirement to extinguish the liabilities on demand.


Financial risk management objectives and policies


The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are currency risk and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks.


Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. The Company’s Management oversees these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks.


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.


A 10% strengthening of the US dollars against Canadian dollars would have increased the net equity by $6,486 (2012 - $5,637) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at March 31, 2013 would have had the equal but opposite effect. The significant financial instruments of the Company, their carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as of March 31, 2013 are as follows:

                      

 

US Denominated

   

China Denominated

 

CAD

USD

CAD

    RMB  

Cash

    13,354     13,149     1,454     8,896

Accounts receivable

    1,422,568     1,400,717     608     3,721

Accounts payable

    75,211     74,056     -     -

 

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, 2013, the Company had cash of $18,545, accounts and grants receivable of $1,440,304 and prepaid and other receivables of $91,131 to settle current liabilities of $2,549,743.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counterparty by failing to discharge an obligation.   The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the reported amounts of these financial assets. Credit risk is managed by ongoing review of the amount and aging of accounts receivable balances. As at March 31, 2013, the Company has outstanding receivables of $1,440,304.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is taken on accounts receivable if the account has not been collected after a predetermined period of time and is offset to other operating expenses. Included in the accounts receivable, the amount of $140,022 is past due but not provisioned as at March 31, 2013.
