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 OTCQB Marketplace. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the period ended March 31, 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Lingo Media is an ESL EdTech industry acquisition company whose goal is to "Change the way the world learns English" by combining education with technology.  The company is focused on online and print-based technologies and solutions through its four distinct business units: Lingo Learning Inc. (“Lingo Learning”), ELL Technologies Ltd. (“ELL Technologies”); Speak2Me Inc. (“Speak2Me”) and Parlo Corporation (“Parlo”). Lingo Learning is a print-based publisher of English school programs in China. ELL Technologies is a globally-established English language learning multi-media and online training company. Speak2Me is a free-to-consumer advertising-based online English language learning service in China. Parlo is a fee-based online English language learning training and assessment service.

 

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 PREPARATION

 

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 incurred significant losses recurring over the years. During the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported a net profit of $225,429 (2014 – net loss of $52,866). As at March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $296,896 (March 31, 2014 - $740,578). The Company’s success depends on the continued profitable commercialization of its online English language learning technology programs. Given the fact that the Company has had an increase in revenue of $415,576, increase in net profit of $278,295 and the Company’s current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company’s planned operations through fiscal 2015.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2015 were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on May 28, 2015.

 

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.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d)

 

 

2.3

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries controlled by the Company (the “Group”) as at March 31, 2015. Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity.

 

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.

 

 

2.4

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 ELL Technologies is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and the functional currency of Speak2Me is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). All other subsidiaries’ functional currency is Canadian Dollar (“CAD”).

 

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 ACCOUNTING 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 and recognition of long-term revenue contracts

 

Recognition of government grant and grant receivable

 

Recognition of deferred tax assets

 

Valuation of share-based payments

 

Recognition of provisions and contingent liabilities

 

Assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cause doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.

In December 2011, the Company amended its stock option plan (the “2011 Plan“). The 2011 Plan was established to provide an incentive to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

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 weighted average remaining contractual life for the stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2015 was 2.10 years (2014 – 2.29 years). The range of exercise prices for the stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2015 was $0.13 - $1.70 (2014 - $0.20 - $1.75). The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to employees, consultants and directors during the period has been estimated at $0.07 (2014 - $0.24) 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 2014 are as follows, 435,000 (2013 – nil, 2012 – 550,000) stock options vested immediately upon issuance, 445,000 (2013 - 25,000, 2012 – 750,000) stock options will vest quarterly over 18 months, 410,000 stock options will vest quarterly over 12 months, and 300,000 (2013 – nil, 2012 – 400,000) stock options will vest upon achievements of certain milestones.

 

The pricing model assumes the weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.21% (2014 – 1.37%) weighted average expected dividend yields of Nil (2014 – Nil), the weighted average expected common stock price volatility (based on historical trading) of 79% (2014– 82.64%), a forfeiture rate of zero, a weighted average stock price of $0.14, a weighted average exercise price of $0.14, and a weighted average expected life of 3 years (2014 – 4.73 years), which were estimated based on past experience with options and option contract specifics.

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.

 

A 10% strengthening of the US dollars against Canadian dollars would have increased the net equity by $130,560 (2014 - $63,684) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at March 31, 2015 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, 2015 are as follows:

Accounts payable

    33,686       -       -  

 

Liquidity risk 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, 2015, the Company had cash of $87,615, accounts and grants receivable of $1,371,256 and prepaid and other receivables of $119,741 to settle current liabilities of $1,875,508.

 

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, 2015, the Company has outstanding receivables of $1,371,256. 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.

 

14.

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.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

 

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 2015 or 2014.
