RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET (Cont’d)

 

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease obligations in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, “Leases”. These obligations were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease obligations on January 1, 2019 was 8%.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2020, an accretion of $21,990 in carrying amount of lease liability was recorded because of the use of present value factor at initial measurement.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2020, variable lease payments of $50,043 were recorded.

 

The Company has equipment leases and an office lease in Beijing which it has determined are not recognized as right of use assets or lease liabilities as they are short-term and low dollar value.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

 

In December 2017, the Company amended its stock option plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan was established to provide an incentive to management (officers), employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan is limited to 7,105,838 shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan, the 2005 Plan, the 2009 Plan and the 2011 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 2017 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.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Cont’d)

 

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 2017 Plan do not have any required vesting provisions. However, the Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, amend or revise the terms of the 2017 Plan or may terminate it at any time.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

 

Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)

 

 

a.

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 monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar 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.

 

The Company has been exposed to this fluctuation and has not implemented a program against these foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

A 10% strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar would have increased the net equity approximately by $76,990 (2019 - $59,513) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar at June 30, 2019 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 June 30, 2019 are as follows:

 

   

US

Cash

    575,657  

Accounts receivable

    686,842  

Accounts payable

    43,190  

 

 

b.

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 June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,127,418, accounts and grants receivable of $983,235 and prepaid and other receivables of $131,795 to settle current liabilities of $463,372.

 

 

c.

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 June 30, 2020 the Company has outstanding receivables of $983,235 (2019 - $1,049,433). New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognize an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available. The Company deposits its cash with high credit quality financial institutions, with the majority deposited within Canadian Tier 1 Banks.

MAJOR CUSTOMER

 

The Company had sales to a major customer in the period ended in June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, a government agency of the People’s Republic of China. The total percentage of sales to this customer during the period was 83% (2019 – 96%) and the total percentage of accounts receivable at June 30, 2020 was 95% (2019 – 93%).

 

 

16.

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 from the approach used in 2020 or 2019.

20.

COVID 19

 

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19,” has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions.

COVID 19(Cont’d)

 

The extent to which COVID-19 and any other pandemic or public health crisis impacts the Company’s business, affairs, operations, financial condition, liquidity, availability of credit and results of operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any meaningful precision, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 virus and the actions required to contain the COVID-19 virus or remedy its impact, among others. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.

 

Lingo Media has taken measures to protect its management, employees and contractors and has advised them to work from home and maintain a safe environment to ensure they are healthy and have minimal exposure to the risk of infection. In addition, the company is eligible and has applied for certain government subsidies, additional grants and interest-free loans, which will be reflected in the subsequent period financial statements.

 

The Company has contacted all the parties it is working with to ensure they are all working in a safe environment. A number of such parties have had an impact on their operations and ability to collaborate, while, a large number have identified multiple new business opportunities due to COVID-19 and the stay at home order of students in many countries. Lingo Media is offering e-learning solutions which fit the challenges schools and universities are facing by providing online language learning solutions. In addition, the Company has designed a number of programs to ensure its clients can easily deploy its suite of products that are well suited for a quarantined environment.
