NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards. These changes have not yet been adopted by the Corporation and could have an impact on future periods.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective January 1, 2018);
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (effective January 1, 2018); and
IFRS 16, Leases (effective January 1, 2019).

These changes are described in detail in the Corporation’s 2015 annual report. The Corporation is assessing the impacts of the above standards on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the Corporation intends to adopt the amendments to IFRS 2 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

4. CAPITAL AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF EQUITY

Authorized with no Par Value

Unlimited common shares
Unlimited preferred shares

Issued

At September 30, 2016, all issued shares are fully paid. The holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends, if any are declared, and are entitled to one vote per share.

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of the unrealized gains/losses on foreign exchange derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred.

Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”)

On March 2, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a plan to repurchase the Corporation’s common shares. The TSX approved the Corporation's Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid to repurchase up to 764,930 of its common shares (the "Repurchase"), representing approximately 5% of its 15,298,602 common shares issued and outstanding as of February 24, 2016.

The primary purpose of the Repurchase is for cancellation. Repurchases will be made from time-to-time at the Corporation’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the Corporation’s capital needs, the market price of its common shares, general market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be effected through the facilities of the TSX, the NASDAQ or other alternative trading systems in the United States and Canada.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 56,776 and 134,258 common shares, at an aggregate purchase price of $478 and $1,153, respectively (for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, under the 2015 NCIB the Company repurchased an aggregate of 163,695 and 345,710 common shares, at an aggregate purchase price of $1,702 and $3,665, respectively). All of these shares were repurchased for cancellation pursuant to private agreements between the Company and arm's-length third party sellers. These purchases were made under issuer bid exemption orders issued by the Ontario Securities Commission and are included in calculating the number of common shares that the Company may purchase pursuant to the 2015 or 2016 NCIB. As at September 30, 2016, an aggregate of 134,258 common shares (2015: 345,710) were cancelled, resulting in a reduction to stated capital and contributed surplus of $526 and $627 (2015: $1,343 and $2,322 respectively).

POINTS INTERNATIONAL LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

b) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share represents what the net income per share would be if instruments convertible into common shares had been converted at the beginning of the period, or at the time of issuance, if later. In determining diluted earnings per share, the average number of common shares outstanding is increased by the number of shares that would have been issued if all share options with a strike price below the average share price for the period had been exercised at the beginning of the period, or at the time of issuance, if later. The average number of common shares outstanding is also decreased by the number of common shares that could have been repurchased on the open market at the average share price for the period by using the proceeds from the exercise of share options. Share options with a strike price above the average share price for the period are not adjusted because including them would be anti-dilutive.

A total of 645,216 options that were out of the money for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (2015 – 623,869 and 643,790) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The average market value of the Corporation’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on quoted market prices for the period during which the options were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

6. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

As at September 30, 2016, the Corporation had two share-based compensation plans for its employees: a share option plan and a share unit plan.

Share option plan

Under the share option plan, employees, directors and consultants are periodically granted share options to purchase common shares at prices not less than the market price of the common shares on the day prior to the date of grant. The options generally vest over a three-year period and expire at the end of five years from the grant date. Under the plan, share options can only be settled in equity. On May 5, 2016, the shareholders of the Corporation approved a new share option plan which increased the number of options available for grant as described in the Management Information Circular dated March 2, 2016. The new share option plan changed the number of net options authorized for grant to be determined based on 10% of the larger of the outstanding shares as at March 2, 2016 or any time thereafter. The options available for grant as at September 30, 2016 is shown in the table below:

    September 30, 2016  
Shares outstanding as at March 2, 2016   15,298,602  
     Percentage of shares outstanding   10%  
Net options authorized   1,529,860  
     Less: options issued & outstanding   (745,758 )
Options available for grant   784,102  

As at September 30, 2015, the options available for grant were determined using the legacy plan, as shown by the table below:

Share unit plan

On March 7, 2012, the Corporation implemented an employee share unit plan, under which employees are periodically granted Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and/or Performance Share Units (“PSUs”). The RSUs generally vest either ratably over a period of three years or in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. A total of 44,395 and 318,911 RSUs have been granted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (2015 – 45,388 and 157,638 RSUs). As at September 30, 2016, 489,263 RSUs and no PSUs were outstanding (2015 – 239,129 RSUs and 73,758 PSUs).

Included in the comparative period table above are 73,758 PSUs which were granted to certain employees in 2014 and were forfeited in December 2015.

The fair value of each RSU, determined at the date of grant using the volume weighted average trading price per share on the TSX during the immediately preceding five trading days, is recognized over the RSU’s vesting period and charged to profit or loss with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus.

Under the Share Unit Plan, share units can be settled in cash or shares at the Corporation’s discretion. The Corporation intends to settle all share units in equity at the end of the vesting period. To fulfill this obligation, the Corporation has appointed a trustee to administer the program and purchase shares from the open market on a periodic basis through a share purchase trust. As of September 30, 2016, 99,186 of the Corporation’s common shares were held in trust for this purpose. The Corporation did not make any purchases of share capital held in trust during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (97,360 common shares were purchased at an aggregate purchase price of $1,215 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015).

The Corporation accounts for the share-based awards granted under both plans in accordance with the fair value based method of accounting for equity settled share-based compensation arrangements per IFRS 2, Share-based Payment. The estimated fair value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recorded over the vesting period as part of employment costs. The compensation cost for all share-based awards that has been charged against profit or loss and included in employment costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 is $389 and $1,747 (2015 - $511 and $1,582).

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Determination of fair value

The fair values of funds receivable from payment processors, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and payable to loyalty program partners, approximate their carrying values at September 30, 2016 due to their short-term maturities.

Fair value hierarchy

The Corporation has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate market inputs and valuation methodologies, as disclosed below. Considerable judgment is required to develop certain of these estimates. The estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument are discussed below.

The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Quoted market prices for an identical asset or liability represent a Level 1 valuation. When quoted market prices are not available, the Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models. When all significant inputs are observable, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the use of significant unobservable inputs are considered Level 3. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

  As at September 30, 2016   Carrying Value     Level 2     Level 3  
  Assets:                  
     Foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges(i) $  276   $  276   $  -
