1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS

Quarterhill Inc. (“Quarterhill” or the “Company”), formerly “Wi-LAN Inc.”, is a Canadian company with its shares listed under the symbol “QTRH” on each of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the Nasdaq Global Select Market.  Quarterhill is focused on the disciplined acquisition, management and growth of companies in dedicated technology areas including vertical market software and solutions, intelligent industrial systems, and innovation and licensing.

 

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Quarterhill and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Quarterhill also holds, through one of its subsidiaries, a 50% joint venture ownership interest in Xuzhou-PAT Control Technologies Limited (“XPCT”) which is accounted for using the equity method.  These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include only the Company’s net investment and equity in earnings of the joint venture.  

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, including all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operations and cash flows for the interim period.  As the interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required in annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 together with the accompanying notes.  All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 except for the adoption of accounting standards more fully described below.

 

Adoption of Accounting Standards

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) “Leases” (ASC 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method applied to leases that were in effect on January 1, 2019.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under topic ASC 842 while leases in existence at the prior period are not adjusted and continue to be

reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 840.  The Company elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and right-of-use lease liabilities arising from short term leases, not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.  The Company also elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the entity’s right-of-use assets.

 

The standard had a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet with the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities but did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim statement of operations.

 

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet, by segment, for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 were as follows:

Significant changes to the accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 are discussed below.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets and right-of-use lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company currently does not have any finance leases.

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and right-of-use lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option, the effects of that exercise are considered in determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities.  Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Management uses judgment in determining whether a contract contains a lease, the interest used to discount the present value of fixed payments in accounting for the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset, and in determining whether it is likely that a lease term will be extended.

 

The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components embedded in its leases as a single lease component.

 

Future Accounting Pronouncements

 

Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, with earlier adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.

 

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” that has been issued as part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project.   The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement based on concepts in the FASB Concept Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.  

 

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software

In August 2018 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract that provides guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor, i.e. a service contract.  Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license.   The new guidance also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.

Derivative financial instrument consists of the embedded derivative portion of the unearned revenue of U.S. dollar denominated sales contracts in its Canadian, Chilean and Mexican subsidiaries and foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of embedded derivatives is measured using a market approach, based on the difference between quoted forward exchange rates as of the contract date and quoted forward exchange rates as of the reporting date. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date. Contingent consideration was adjusted to fair value at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 using management’s best estimates of performance to calculate fair value as at the reporting date. Accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities also approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these items.

10.  CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

In connection with the acquisition of VIZIYA on May 4, 2017, subject to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of VIZIYA up to an additional $11,900 if VIZIYA achieved certain earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“Eligible Earnings”) targets for the period from April 1, 2017 to July 31, 2019. This amount would have consisted of cash consideration of up to $6,000 and the issuance of up to 3,647,417 additional Common Shares. Additionally, subject to the terms of the acquisition agreement, if VIZIYA achieved cumulative Eligible Earnings during that period exceeding $11,900, then the Company would be required to pay 50% of that excess Eligible Earnings as additional contingent consideration until that cumulative Eligible Earnings reached a cap of $24,000. The liability associated with the anticipated payment of the contingent consideration obligation was preliminarily valued at $6,450 at the acquisition date. This estimate was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulations model. The Company subsequently revalued this contingent liability downward to $929 based on actual results to March 31, 2019 and management’s estimate of expected Eligible Earnings through to July 31, 2019.

 

On July 31, 2019, VIZIYA management represented to the Company that it had entered into two agreements for the sale of perpetual software licenses which may have qualified as Eligible Earnings pursuant to the acquisition agreement for purposes of the contingent consideration earn-out payment. As these revenue contracts were entered into subsequent to June 30, 2019 but prior to the issuance of the second quarter interim financial statements, management was required to consider these contracts in estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration liability and recognized a liability of  $11,577 with a corresponding acquisition-related compensation expense of $10,648 within “Special charges”.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, however, management determined that revenue under the contracts could not be recognized as at July 31, 2019 and that VIZIYA did not achieve the minimum amount of cumulative Eligible Earnings  required as at July 31, 2019. As such, the Company has reversed its total accrual for contingent consideration recognizing a gain in the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $11,577.

The former shareholders of VIZIYA may not agree with the Company's determination of Eligible Earnings and they may require arbitration of that calculation as permitted pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement.  The results of any arbitration may, or may not, result in a determination that the former shareholders may be entitled to be paid some or all of the earn out under the acquisition agreement.

 

11.  SPECIAL CHARGES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries continued its restructuring initiatives and concluded an additional workforce reduction in its Canadian operations and significantly reduced its operating lease facilities.  These activities resulted in an additional charge of $7 and $539 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

The Company recorded a recovery on the contingent consideration (see Note 10) during the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the amount of $11,577 resulting in a net recovery of $929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  A reconciliation of the components of expense and accrued liabilities related to these restructuring efforts is as noted below:
