Transcription

1 Illustrative consolidated financial statements for the year ended Based on Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in issue as at 1 January 2015

2 Introduction This publication contains an illustrative set of consolidated financial statements for Good Group Private Enterprise Inc. [ GGPE ] as at and for the year ended. These illustrative consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Part II of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada [ CPA Canada ] Handbook Accounting, Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises [ ASPE ]. These illustrative consolidated financial statements have been prepared subsequent to the first-time adoption of ASPE and do not include the opening consolidated balance sheet and transitional disclosures required when an entity prepares its first set of financial statements in accordance with ASPE. GGPE is a manufacturer, re-seller and servicer of specialized industrial equipment. It has operations in Canada and the United States. The functional currency of the parent company and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the Canadian dollar. These illustrative consolidated financial statements include a number of circumstances which might typically be encountered by a private enterprise, such as contingencies, asset impairments, related party transactions and a voluntary change in accounting policy. GGPE has prepared its consolidated financial statements on a comparative basis; that is, amounts and other disclosures for the prior period are included for comparison with the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These illustrative consolidated financial statements only include those accounting standards with an effective date of 1 January 2015 or earlier. In some cases, ASPE permits more than one accounting treatment for a transaction or event. Preparers of financial statements should select the treatment that is most relevant to their business and circumstances as their accounting policy. It is important to remember that these illustrative consolidated financial statements do not encompass all aspects of financial reporting that could be encountered by a private enterprise in Canada. Furthermore, this publication is not designed to reflect disclosure requirements that may apply to regulated or specialized industries. It is essential that entities consider their own specific circumstances when determining which disclosures to include. For additional information, readers should refer to the EY ASPE Presentation and Disclosure Checklist in conjunction with the ASPE standards themselves to fully understand the implications of preparing ASPE financial statements. For more information on ASPE, please contact your EY advisor.

8 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS [the Company ] is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company is a manufacturer, re-seller and servicer of specialized industrial equipment. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Part II of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook Accounting, Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises, which sets out generally accepted accounting principles for non-publicly accountable enterprises in Canada and includes the significant accounting policies described hereafter. Principles of consolidation The Company consolidates all its subsidiaries, which are entities over which it has the continuing power to determine the strategic operating, investing and financing policies without the cooperation of others. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries: , 05, 06, [b] Name Description Functional currency Foreign currency translation model Ownership Good Group America Corp. Distribution US$ Self-sustaining 100% Good Group 80pc Subsidiary Manufacturing C$ Integrated 80% Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions and integrated foreign operations In the case of the Company s foreign currency transactions and foreign operations that are integrated in terms of financial and operational management, accounts stated in foreign currencies are translated according to the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, and non-monetary items are translated at the prevailing historical rate at the time of the transaction. Revenue and expenses arising from foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. The exchange gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and the translation of integrated foreign operations are included in net income , 16, 20, 22, [e] 1

9 Self-sustaining foreign operations The financial statements of foreign operations that are self-sustaining in terms of financial and operational management are translated according to the current rate method using the foreign currency as the measuring unit. Under this method, assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the year. The exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of these foreign operations are presented as a cumulative translation adjustment under equity in the consolidated balance sheet. Financial instruments The Company initially records a financial instrument at its fair value, except for a related party transaction, which is recorded at the carrying or exchange amount depending on the circumstances. The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption. Subsequently, the Company measures financial instruments as follows: investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market at fair value; all other investments in equity instruments at cost less impairment; all other financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, investments in bonds, accounts receivable, and the loan to related party, at amortized cost; and all financial liabilities, which include the credit facility, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, and the amount due to related party, at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents Bank balances, including bank overdrafts with balances that fluctuate from positive to overdrawn, are presented under cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a short maturity of approximately three months or less from the date of acquisition , , , 08, 18, , , 09, 10, 43 2

10 Investments [i] Reported at fair value Investments reported at fair value consist of equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, as well as any investments in debt or equity instruments that the Company designated to be measured at fair value. Such designation must be made when the investment is initially recognized. In the case of an equity instrument that was previously measured at fair value because it was quoted in an active market, this designation may be made when the instrument ceases to be quoted in an active market. This designation is irrevocable. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income. Transaction costs to acquire or dispose of these instruments are recognized in net income in the period during which they are incurred. [ii] Reported at cost or amortized cost Investments in equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market, as well as investments in debt instruments, whether or not quoted in an active market, are initially recorded at fair value adjusted by financing fees and transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption. Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost less any reduction for impairment and investments in debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the specific identification method. Cost of work in progress and finished goods includes raw materials, direct labour and indirect manufacturing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Investment in GGSII The Company uses the equity method to account for all entities over which it can exercise significant influence. The determination of when significant influence is present is a matter of judgment. If the Company holds less than 20% of the voting interest in the investee, it is presumed that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, unless such influence is clearly demonstrated. The Company has a 30% common share investment in Good Group Significant Influence Investment Inc. [ GGSII ] [a], , 11 [a], [b] 3856.A [a] , 11, ,

11 Property, plant and equipment and assets under capital leases Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Assets under capital leases are recorded at cost, which corresponds to the present value of the minimum lease payments, less accumulated amortization. Amortization of property, plant and equipment and assets under capital leases are calculated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and the following durations: , , 73 [c] Building Office furniture Machinery and equipment Computer hardware 25 years 10 years 12 years 4-6 years [c] Intangible assets Intangible assets, except for those not subject to amortization, are amortized on the basis of their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and the following durations: Patents Customer lists 10 years 4-6 years The Company has an intangible asset in the form of a license that is considered to have an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. Expenditures incurred during the development phase of a new or substantially new product are expensed as incurred [a] [iii] , 91 [c] Impairment [i] Long-lived assets subject to amortization Property, plant and equipment, assets under capital leases, and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used with the total of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and disposition. If the asset is impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, generally determined on a discounted cash flow basis. Any impairment results in a writedown of the asset and a charge to income during the year. An impairment loss is not reversed if the fair value of the related asset subsequently increases , 05, 06, 09 4

12 [ii] Indefinite life intangible asset The license is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed its fair value. Impairment is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset with its fair value, generally determined on a discounted cash flow basis. When the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. An impairment loss is not reversed if the fair value of the related asset subsequently increases. [iii] Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. In the impairment test, the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized up to a maximum amount of the recorded goodwill related to the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed , 66, , 74 [iv] Financial assets measured at cost and amortized cost When there are indications of possible impairment, the Company determines if there has been a significant adverse change to the expected timing or amounts of future cash flows expected from the financial asset. The amount of any impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying amount of the financial asset with the highest of three amounts: i. The present value of the cash flows expected to be generated by holding the asset, discounted using a current market rate of interest appropriate to that asset; ii. The amount that could be realized by selling the asset at the date of the consolidated balance sheet; and iii. The amount the Company expects to realize by exercising its right to any collateral held to secure repayment of the asset, net of all costs necessary to exercise those rights. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the improvement can be related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, but the adjusted carrying amount of the financial asset shall be no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized Contingent consideration The Company recognizes the fair value of any contingent consideration that is transferred to the seller in a business combination on the date at which control of the acquiree is obtained. This value is generally determined through a probability-weighted analysis of the expected cash flows. Contingent consideration is classified as a liability or as equity on the basis of the definitions of an equity instrument and a financial liability. The contingent consideration is payable in cash and,

13 accordingly, the Company classified its contingent consideration as a liability. It is not remeasured and any gain or loss on settlement at an amount different from its carrying value will be recognized in net income in the period during which it is settled. Long-term debt Long-term debt is initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and financing fees. It is subsequently measured at amortized cost. Transaction costs and financing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis. With respect to the interest-free government loan, the difference between the fair value of the loan and the cash received was accounted for as a government grant and, accordingly as a reduction of property, plant and equipment. With respect to the convertible debenture, the Company chose to assign a nil value to the equity component and to allocate the entire proceeds, net of transaction costs and financing fees, to the liability component. Income taxes The Company follows the taxes payable method whereby only the cost or benefit of current income taxes for the year is reported, as determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities. Revenue recognition [i] General criteria Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of equipment has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price is reasonably assured. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration received, excluding discounts, returns, and sales taxes. The specific recognition criteria set out below must be met before revenue is recognized. [ii] Sale of equipment and commission Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which is usually upon the delivery of the goods. The Company considers that due to the customized nature of this equipment, delivery is not considered to have occurred until written customer acceptance of the equipment has been obtained. Occasionally, the Company consigns certain of its manufactured equipment to specialized retailers. Revenue from consignment sales is recorded when the retailer has sold the equipment, at which point the delivery criteria have been met [c] 3856.A [a] , 22 [a] [a], [a] [b] [c]

14 When recognizing distribution revenue, the Company must consider whether revenue should be reported on a gross or a net basis, which is based upon an assessment of whether the Company is acting as an agent or a principal. When the Company has the primary responsibility for providing the equipment [as evidenced by the Company s responsibility for the customer s ultimate acceptance or rejection of the equipment], is at risk for the loss of the inventory at any point prior to sale or during shipping, has the discretion to set prices and assumes all credit risk for the amount receivable, distribution revenue is reported on a gross basis as a sale of equipment. When these criteria are not met, the Company earns a fixed fee per completed equipment sale, which is recognized as commission revenue when the general criteria are met [iii] Services Revenue from maintenance or repair service contracts is recognized as the services are rendered. [iv] Contracts with separately identifiable components Contracts to sell equipment frequently include maintenance and/or repair services. The Company considers the equipment and the services to be separately identifiable components of a single transaction as both have standalone value to the customer. Both the equipment and the maintenance and repair services are sold separately Contracts with separately identifiable components require the Company to allocate the proceeds between the components. This allocation is completed based upon the relative, standalone selling price for the equipment and the services. Once the allocation has been made, the applicable recognition criteria are applied to the sale of the equipment and the rendering of the services. [v] Interest and dividends Interest income is recognized on the basis of the passage of time when collectability is reasonably assured. Dividend income is recognized when the dividends are declared and when the right to receive payment is established [a] [c] Stock-based compensation The Company has a stock option plan for employees and directors from which options to purchase common shares are issued [the Stock Option Plan ]. Options may not be granted with an exercise price of less than the fair value of the options at the grant date. The awards have no cash settlement alternatives. The vesting requirements are typically service-based and the options normally have a contractual life of five years, although options with performance-based vesting criteria may be issued from time to time

15 [i] Transactions with employees Stock-based compensation costs are accounted for on a fair value basis, as measured at the grant date, which is generally the date at which both the Company and the employee have a mutual understanding of the terms of the award. The fair value is measured using the option s calculated value, a method that substitutes the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of an entity s share price in an option-pricing model, such as the Black- Scholes option pricing model. The resulting stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus over the vesting period involved, typically three years. The compensation expense is based on the number of awards that eventually vest, and adjustments for forfeitures are made as they occur. Any consideration paid by employees upon exercise of the options and the previously recognized compensation cost of the options exercised included in contributed surplus are added to share capital. When the Company issues options with a performance condition, that is, options on which the vesting is dependent upon the employee s achievement of the condition, compensation cost is recognized based on the best estimate of the number of options expected to vest, and adjusted for subsequent changes in the expected or actual outcome in the period when the change occurs. [ii] Transactions with non-employees When the Company exchanges options or shares for goods and services, the measurement basis is the fair value of the services or goods received, as this value is typically more reliably measureable than the equity instruments themselves. Should this not be the case, the estimated fair value of the equity instruments is used. The measurement date in both cases is generally the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, the date the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and nonforfeitable at that date or the date at which the counterparty s performance is complete. The cost is recognized in the same manner and in the same period as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or the services. The Company occasionally issues options to non-employees with performance-based conditions which, depending upon the counterparty s achievement of these conditions, could result in a range of possible outcomes. At the date at which a commitment to earn the equity instruments by the counterparty is reached, the lowest aggregate fair value is recognized based on the conditions and variables associated with the counterparty s performance. After this date, modification accounting is applied to reflect incremental changes in the fair value of the options resulting from the achievement or non-achievement of the related performance conditions

16 Hedge accounting The Company periodically uses forward contracts to economically hedge the impact of foreign currency changes in anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies, and interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on variable-rate debt. When both at the inception of a hedging relationship and throughout its term, the Company has reasonable assurance that the critical terms of the hedging item and the hedged item are the same, and, in the case of an anticipated transaction, it is probable that the anticipated transaction will occur at the time and in the amount designated, the Company may choose to apply hedge accounting. The Company then formally documents the hedging relationship, identifying the hedged item, the related hedging item, the nature of the specific risk exposure or exposures being hedged and the intended term of the hedging relationship. Forward contracts and interest rate swaps in qualifying hedging relationships are not recognized until their maturity. When hedging anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the anticipated transaction is recognized at the amount of consideration paid or received when it occurs. The gain or loss on the forward contract is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item or, when the hedged item is recognized directly in net income, the gain or loss on the forward contract is included in the same category of net income. When hedging interest rate risk, interest on the debt is recorded at the stated interest rate plus or minus amortization of any initial premium or discount and any financing fees and transaction costs. Net amounts receivable or payable on the interest rate swap are recognized as an adjustment to the interest expense on the hedged item in the period during which they accrue. Hedge accounting may not be electively discontinued. If the forward contract is discontinued, any gain or loss is recognized as a separate component of equity until the anticipated transaction occurs, at which point it is removed from equity and recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item [in the case of an asset or liability] or recorded in net income. If an interest rate swap is discontinued, any gain or loss is recognized as an adjustment to the debt and amortized to net income as interest payments are accrued. When it is no longer probable that the anticipated transaction will occur in the amount designated or within 30 days of the maturity date of the hedging item for a forward contract or within two weeks of the maturity date of the hedging item for an interest rate swap, or if the debt is derecognized, the forward contract or the interest rate swap is measured at fair value and any gain or loss is recognized in net income

17 3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY Effective 1 January 2015, the Company changed its accounting policy for income taxes so as to follow the taxes payable method. In previous periods, the Company followed the future income taxes method with respect to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities were determined based on differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities [temporary differences]. Future income tax assets and liabilities were measured using the enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates that would have been in effect when the differences were expected to reverse [f] [a] This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively with restatement of prior period consolidated financial statements. The effects of the change in accounting policy are as follows: $ $ Increase (decrease) in: Retained earnings, beginning of year (83,850) (97,000) Future income tax expense (13,150) Future income tax recovery (69,400) Net earnings (69,400) 13,150 Current portion of future income tax assets (73,000) (6,000) Future income tax assets (133,000) (136,000) Current portion of future income tax liabilities (6,750) (16,150) Future income tax liabilities (46,000) (42,000) [c], [d] 4.
