VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 23, 2015) - Certive Solutions Inc. ("Certive" or the "Company") (CSE:CBP)(FRANKFURT:5CE) reports that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following press release to clarify our previous disclosure.
The Company's financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the quarter ended November 30, 2014 are being re-filed on an amended and restated basis. Generally, the reasons for the re-statement and amendment are related to the accounting treatment of the acquisitions of both Titan Health Management Solutions Inc. ("Titan") and Knowledge Capital Alliance Inc. ("KCA").
In the case of both acquisitions, the Company originally recorded the value ascribed to the purchase price, less any fixed assets acquired, on its financial statements as goodwill. Dealing specifically with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 38, the Company has reclassified these acquisitions as intangibles insofar as they are represented by customer relationships with an indeterminate future life. The Company will accordingly test the values for impairment at the end of each fiscal year. The Company has therefore recorded a total of US$3,252,194 as customer lists on its amended and restated financial statements for the six months ended November 30, 2014. In addition, the Company has amended its Statement of Cash Flow (SCF), insofar as the acquisition of goodwill is a non-cash transaction which, when included in the SCF, over-stated net cash from operations by US$3,200,000.
Note 8 to the financial statements was also revised as follows:
"Customer list and relationships
As part of several business combination transactions during the period, the Company acquired the customer portfolio and relationships of the acquirees, which resulted in recognizing intangible assets of $3,252,194 at the acquisition date, representing the value of the customer lists acquired. In addition to the intangible assets acquired, furniture and fixtures at the value of $38,106 (Note 7) was acquired and recognized in the Balance Sheet at the acquisition date.
Customer relationships are supported by service agreements that provide the basis only for economic benefit to accrue to the Company. These service agreements auto renew as a standard part of the relationship with each separately identifiable customer. In accordance with IAS 38 para 16, the service agreement establishes the means to place an economic benefit upon these long term customer relationships. The Company has many service agreements with multiple customers and therefore controls the economic benefit associated with this intangible asset.
Accordingly no amortization of the value associated with the customer relationships has been calculated in the current period. At each year end, the Company will test impairment of the customer relationships using standard measures for such impairment. The useful life of these relationships has historically been demonstrated as indefinite.
The Company further tested the fair value of these relationships by ascribing a value to economic benefit that had been historically earned and over a preceding five month period on a weighted average basis and applying a two year multiplier to that weighted average. The amount determined was then discounted by 50% to test the value. The Company used a five month historical weighted average insofar as the amount represented a near term quantified value to the existing relationships backed by the service agreements as of November 30, 2014. By applying a 50% discount to that value, management believes the discount rate to be highly conservative.
The valuation of the relationships acquired using this valuation basis supported the purchase price. In addition, the arms-length negotiation process and the application of a one times trailing revenue for professional service enterprises further supported the price paid for the assets acquired.
The intangible assets of the Company consist mainly of the customer relationships, access to customer's information and the supporting service agreements acquired…."
Note 16 was added to the statements, disclosing more particularly the basis for impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets. The table in Note 16 discloses the carrying value of the assets acquired and, specifically, the impairment of the Advantive Information Services Inc. acquisition.
The management discussion and analysis for the six months ended November 30, 2014, was also amended as follows:
- Specific forward looking comments were added to reflect the nature of the Company's business and assumptions made in the MD&A.
- Specific comments on the Company's growth strategies were included, along with a definition of operating run rates and the basis for its calculation.
- The "Results of Operations" section was amended to expand upon the comparative quarter by quarter analysis of revenues and costs as well as providing a detailed comment on the factors that will impact revenue recognition in the future.
- A more detailed comment on liquidity and operating business units was included.
- A more detailed discussion of risk factors specifically affecting the Company was also provided.
The Company's Board and management team have embraced the process undertaken in connection with the British Columbia Securities Commission's continuous disclosure review, as it has, in the opinion of the Board, the Audit Committee, and management, been a very important and useful exercise to ensure that our disclosure meets the highest standards required by International Financial Reporting Standards.
