LINGO MEDIA CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

March 31, 2014

(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, 2014 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”); ELL Technologies Ltd. (“ELL Canada”) 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 incurred significant losses recurring over the years. During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $52,866 (2013 – net loss of $377,023). As at March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $740,578 (March 31, 2013 - $1,022,013) and deficit of $21,121,483 (March 31, 2013 - $21,468,583). 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, 2014 were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on May 27, 2014.

 

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, 2014. 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.

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 government grant and grant receivable

 

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, 2013.

Common shares - Transactions: (Cont’d)

 

 

(i)

On March 4, 2011, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing of 2,500,000 units (each a "Unit") at $0.60 per Unit and an over-allotment of 1,158,668 Units for gross proceeds of $2,195,200 (the "Financing"). 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 paid 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.

 

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 February 21, 2014, the expiry date of the Warrants was extended to March 4, 2016

 

 

(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 February 21, 2014, the expiry date of the Warrants was extended to May 11, 2016 with all other conditions remaining the same.

This payment was made pursuant to the purchase agreement between Lingo Media and SCP Partners announced on May 13, 2010, whereby Lingo Media acquired all of issued and outstanding shares of ELL Technologies.

 

The Payment Shares are subject to a four month regulatory hold period from the date of issuance and are also subject to a 24 month lock-up and leak-out agreement whereby the Payment Shares will be held in escrow and released in a monthly leak-out of equal instalments of 43,208 shares released each month.

 

 

(iv)

On September 8, 2013, the Company extended the term of the $880,000 loan to September 8, 2014, originally advanced on September 8, 2010, and previously extended for a further one-year term on September 8, 2011 and 2012. As additional consideration for the extension of the loan, the Company respectively issued to the lenders an aggregate of 880,000 (2012 - 356,000) common shares of Lingo Media. The common shares were issued based on 10 per cent of the value of the loan, divided by a market price of $0.10 (2012 - $0.25) per common share.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

 

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.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

 

Included as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses are government grants of $90,833 (2013 - $3,875), relating to the Company's publishing and software projects. At the end of the period, $107,423 (March 31, 2013 - $Nil) is included in accounts and grants receivable.

 

During 2008, the Company was audited by a government agency and was assessed with a repayment amount of $115,075 related to a publishing grant. In 2010, the Company was reassessed with a reduction to the repayment of $100,000 which was recorded in accrued liabilities and this proposed audit assessment was appealed by the Company. In 2013, the appeal was approved and the liability was re-assessed and reduced to $16,263, which was paid and the difference of $87,737 was recorded as grant revenue during 2013.

 

One government grant for the print-based ELL segment is repayable in the event that the segment’s annual net income for each of the previous two years exceeds 15% of revenue. During the year, the conditions for the repayment of grants did not arise and no liability was recorded.

 

One grant, relating to the Company’s “Development of Comprehensive, Interactive Phonetic English Learning Solution” project, is repayable semi-annually at a royalty rate of 2.5% per year’s gross sales derived from this project until 100% of the grant is repaid.

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 $63,684 (2013 - $6,486) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at March 31, 2014 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, 2014 are as follows:

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, 2014, the Company had cash of $83,026, accounts and grants receivable of $887,813 and prepaid and other receivables of $106,446 to settle current liabilities of $1,817,863.

 

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, 2014, the Company has outstanding receivables of $887,813.  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.

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 2014 or 2013.
