2Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Statement of compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The date the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized the consolidated interim financial statements for issue was November 8, 2023.

 

Basis of presentation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency, and have been prepared mainly under the historical cost basis. Other measurement bases used are described in the applicable notes.

 

Material accounting policies

 

The disclosures contained in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the requirements of IFRS for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on accounting policies, as described in note 2 to the 2022 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

 

New accounting standards

 

The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments to IAS 1 require an entity to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments clarify that accounting policy information is material if users of an entity’s financial statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements.

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors). The amendments to IAS 8 provide guidance to assist entities in distinguishing between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with the definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors.

 

Deferred Tax on Assets and Liabilities Arising from Lease and Decommissioning Obligation Transactions (Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes). The amendments to IAS 12 provide clarifications in accounting for deferred tax on certain transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. As a result, entities may need to recognize both a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of leases and decommissioning obligations.

 

Future accounting standards

 

The following new and amended standards and interpretations will become effective in a future year. The Company intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective and are not expected to have a significant impact on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements:

 

·Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16), clarifying initial recognition and subsequent accounting for a seller-lessee account in a sale-and-leaseback transaction.

 

The Company is in the process of assessing any potential impacts of the following:

 

·Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements), clarifying classification requirements for liabilities as current or non-current.

6Related party transactions and balances

 

Directors and officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plans. No stock options have been granted to directors and officers of the Company since March 31, 2020 (note 7(b)).

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 83,664 and 83,664 DSUs (2022 – nil and 88,397) to directors. The directors’ DSUs vested fully on October 1, 2023.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid out a cash portion of directors fees to the directors of $217 and $217 (2022 – nil and nil) in addition to the DSUs granted.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued nil and 898,325 (2022 – nil and 936,404) RSUs to officers of the Company in lieu of cash bonuses. The officers’ RSUs vest fully over a period of six to thirty-six months.

 

7Share capital and share-based payments

 

a)Share capital

 

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had an unlimited number of common shares authorized for issuance (2022 – unlimited) and 51,684,235 common shares outstanding (2022 – 57,381,186) (without par value).

 

b)Stock Option Plan and Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), a deferred share unit plan (the “Deferred Share Unit Plan”) and an omnibus long-term incentive plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). Since the adoption of the Omnibus Incentive Plan by shareholders on June 16, 2020, the Company has stopped issuing new stock options under its Stock Option Plan and new DSUs under its Deferred Share Unit Plan. Previously issued stock options and DSUs remain outstanding and are governed by the plans under which they were initially issued.

 

Under the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors granted stock options to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The expiry date of options granted under the Stock Option Plan typically did not exceed five years from the grant date. The vesting schedule was at the discretion of the Board of Directors and was generally annually over a three-year period. The exercise price of options was equal to the market price per share on the day preceding the grant date.

 

The Omnibus Incentive Plan allows for a variety of equity-based awards to be granted to officers, directors, employees, and consultants (in the case of stock options, Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and RSUs) and non-employee directors (in the case of DSUs). Stock options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are collectively referred to herein as “Awards”. Each Award represents the right to receive common shares, or in the case of PSUs, RSUs and DSUs, common shares or cash, in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

 

The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Stock Option Plan, the Deferred Share Unit Plan of the Company and any other security-based compensation arrangement, collectively, is 15% of the aggregate number of common shares issued and outstanding from time to time.

c)Deferred share units

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 83,664 and 83,664 (2022 – nil and 110,136) DSUs, of which all were issued to directors, with 75% immediate vesting periods and 25% vesting periods after 1 month and nil were issued to consultants of the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 5,749 and 37,415, DSUs were exercised (2022 – 14,134 and 177,638).

 

d)Restricted share units

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 41,153 and 1,544,243 (2022 – 226,420 and 1,796,579) RSUs to employees, officers, and consultants of the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 79,388 and 125,546 (2022 – 19,908 and 302,759) RSUs were exercised.

 

e)Repurchase of shares for cancellation under NCIB

 

On May 16, 2022, the Company commenced a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to 5,500,000 of its outstanding common shares.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased nil and 701,114 common shares at an average price of $nil and $2.14 per share totaling nil and $1,500 (2022 – 1,811,400 and 4,080,880 at $3.23 and $3.19 for a total of $5,860 and $13,000).

 

f)Repurchase of shares for cancellation under SIB

 

On July 27, 2023, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid (“SIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to 15,810,276 of its outstanding common shares for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $40,000. The offer expired on August 30, 2023.

 

Pursuant to the SIB, the Company purchased for cancellation 4,593,200 of its outstanding common shares at a purchase price of $2.65 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12,172.

 

The total transaction costs that were associated with the SIB totaled $965 and were subsequently capitalized.

 

g)Restatement of previously issued financial statements

 

During the preparation of the 2022 annual financial statements, the Company determined that the Share-based compensation expense related to RSUs and DSUs was not being recorded properly starting prior to January 1, 2021. The effect of this error was an overstatement of the Share-based compensation expense and an overstatement of the Contributed surplus balance. The item impacted the Company’s reported net income, but did not impact its cash flows.

 

In addition, the Company determined that Contributed surplus was not being transferred to Share capital when stock options were exercised starting prior to January 1, 2021. The effect of this error was an overstatement of the Contributed surplus balance and an understatement of the Common share balance. The item did not impact the Company’s reported net income or cash flows.

 

The Company concluded that the above errors were material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements and as such, the Company has restated its comparative condensed interim consolidated financial statements, as applicable. The following table presents the impact of the restatements on the company’s comparative Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic   53,923,067    57,524,111    55,667,946    59,113,153 
Net income (loss) per share – basic  $0.01   $0.05   $(0.15)  $0.00 
                     
Dilutive effect of stock options   205,303    317,532    -    349,982

Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding   56,540,427    58,882,738    55,667,946    60,504,230 
Net income (loss) per share – diluted  $0.01   $0.05   $(0.15)  $0.00 
                     
Items excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect                    
Stock options, DSUs, and RSUs   4,241,261    3,029,872    6,858,622    2,997,422 

 

Net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted weighted average number of shares reflects the dilutive effect of equity instruments, such as any “in the money” stock options, RSUs, or DSUs. In the years with reported net losses, all stock options, RSUs, and DSUs are deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal, and thus “in the money” stock options, RSUs, and DSUs have not been included in the computation of net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

Fair value measurements

 

The Company provides disclosure of the three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurement. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease obligations, and term loans approximate their fair values given their short-term nature. The carrying value of the non-current liabilities approximates their fair value, given that the difference between the discount rates used to recognize the liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position and the market rates of interest is not considered significant. The three levels of fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs are as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

 

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly other than quoted prices; and

 

Level 3 – inputs are not based on observable market data.

 

There were no transfers of financial assets during the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 between any of the levels.

 

13Capital risk management

 

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with strategic acquisitions and to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company defines capital that it manages as the aggregate of its shareholders’ equity, which comprises issued capital, contributed surplus and deficit. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from the Board, may issue shares, repurchase shares, pay dividends or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

14Financial risk management

 

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s risk management policies on an annual basis. Management identifies and evaluates financial risks and is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises from the Company’s accounts receivable and cash. As of September 30, 2023, two customers represented more than 5% of the gross accounts receivable balance of $28,486. As of December 31, 2022, three customers each represented more than 5% of the gross accounts receivable balance of $34,320.

 

The Company reviews the components of these accounts on a regular basis to evaluate and monitor this risk. The Company’s customers are generally financially established organizations, which limits the credit risk relating to the customers. In addition, credit reviews by the Company take into account the counterparty’s financial position, past experience and other factors.

 

As at September 30, 2023, the allowance for expected credit loss was $226 (2022 – $400). In establishing the appropriate allowance for expected credit loss, management makes assumptions with respect to the future collectability of the receivables. Assumptions are based on an individual assessment of a customer’s credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends. As at September 30, 2023, 73% of the Company’s customers are current, 7% are from 1 to 30 days, 8% are from 31 to 60 days, 5% are from 61 to 90 days, and 7% are greater than 90 days.

 

The Company, from time to time, invests its excess cash in accounts with Canadian Schedule I banks with the objective of maintaining the safety of the principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet current payment obligations and future planned capital expenditures and with the secondary objective of maximizing the overall yield of the portfolio. The Company’s cash as of September 30, 2023 is not subject to external restrictions. Investments must be rated at least investment grade by recognized rating agencies. The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) provides insurance of up to $100 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category on Canadian-domiciled bank accounts. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) also provides insurance on U.S.-domiciled bank accounts. The standard deposit insurance amount is $250 U.S. per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The Company’s bank account deposits exceed these insured amounts.

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continually monitoring forecasted and actual revenue and expenditures and cash flows from operations. Management is also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures. The Company’s principal cash requirements are for principal and interest payments on its debt, capital expenditures and working capital needs. The Company uses its operating cash flows, loans and borrowings and cash balances to maintain liquidity. In the event that future cash flows from operations are lower than expected, the Company may need to seek additional financing, either by issuing additional equity or by undertaking additional borrowings. There is no certainty that additional financing will be available or that it will be available on attractive terms.

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if interest rates increase on interest-bearing instruments. The Company has various revolving lines of credit and term loans (see Note 15) with interest rates that the Company believes are consistent with market interest rates for this type of debt.

 

Foreign exchange or currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from sale and purchase transactions, as well as recognized financial assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company’s main objective in managing its foreign exchange risk is to maintain U.S. cash on hand to support US forecasted obligations and cash flows. To achieve this objective, the Company monitors forecasted cash flows in foreign currencies and attempts to mitigate the risk by modifying the nature of cash held.

 

If a shift in foreign currency exchange rates of 10% were to occur, the foreign exchange gain or loss on the Company’s net monetary assets could change by approximately $7,903 due to the fluctuation and this would be recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a current tax benefit and current tax receivable of $1,387 on a consolidated basis, which relates to a tax benefit from losses in 2023 that may be carried back, offset by current tax expense from provisions in a subsidiary.

 

18Subsequent events

 

Effective November 13, 2023 and subject to TSX approval, the Company intends to commence a NCIB to purchase for cancellation up to 4,330,226 of its outstanding common shares.

 

The NCIB will also have an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) component with its designated broker to allow for the purchase of shares under the NCIB at times when illumin normally would not be active in the market due to internal trading black-out periods. Such purchases will be determined by the broker at its sole discretion, based on the purchasing parameters set out by the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. During the term of the ASPP, the Company will not communicate any material undisclosed or non-public information to the trading staff of the broker. Accordingly, the broker may make purchases regardless of whether a trading blackout period is in effect or whether there is material undisclosed or non-public information about the Company at the time that purchases are made under the ASPP.

 

The NCIB was approved by the board on November 8, 2023 and announced on November 9, 2023.
