Functional and presentation currency

3.	SIGINIFICANT ACCOUTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

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 currency

●

Determination of expected credit loss

●

Recognition of internally developed intangibles

●

Recognition of government grant and grant receivable

●

Recognition of deferred tax assets

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.

The following summarizes the options outstanding:

Options exercisable as at September 30, 2021	4,055,000	$	0.07

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the stock options outstanding as at September 30, 2021 was 0.29 years (2020 – 0.9 years, 2010 –1.77 years). The range of exercise prices for the stock options outstanding as at September 30, 2021 was $0.05 - $0.13 (2020- $0.05 - $0.23 , 2019 - $$0.07-$0.23). The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to management, employees, directors and consultants in February 2020 was estimated at $0.0355 (2020 - $0.0355, 2019 - $0.0519) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is expensed immediately.

The pricing model assumes the weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.37% (2010 – 1.37%, 2019 – 2.19%) weighted average expected dividend yields of nil (2020 – nil, 2019 – nil), the weighted average expected common stock price volatility (based on historical trading) of 123% (2020 – 123%, 2019 – 105%), a forfeiture rate of 0% (2020 – 0%, 2019 – 0%), a weighted average stock price of $0.05 (2020 - $0.20, 2019 - $0.07), a weighted average exercise price of $0.05 (2020 - $0.05, 2019 - $0.07), and a weighted average expected life of 3 years (2020 – 2.85 years, 2019 – 2.85 years), which were estimated based on past experience with options and option contract specifics.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

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 $97,025 (2020 ‑ $79,357) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar at September 30, 2021 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 September 30, 2021 are as follows:

	US Denominated USD
Cash		794,820
Accounts receivable		666,196
Accounts payable		24,979

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. On September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,184,547, accounts and grants receivable of $1,013,424 and prepaid and other receivables of $113,605 to settle current liabilities of $424,211.

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 of September 30, 2021, the Company has outstanding trade receivables of $848,424 (2020 - $249,383). 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.

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 2021 or in 2020.

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.

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.
