Financial Summary
GuestLogix- Q1 F2012 results are the Company-s first set of consolidated financial statements prepared in U.S. dollars and under IFRS. For more detailed information regarding the Company-s transition to IFRS, including a reconciliation of the Company-s Q1 fiscal 2011 results and fiscal 2011 annual results as originally reported in Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“CGAAP”) to IFRS, please refer to the Company-s financial statements and MD&A filings on SEDAR at . Note, the Company has not provided CGAAP to IFRS reconciliations for its quarterly or annual results prior to fiscal 2011. Therefore, historical numbers reported under CGAAP should not be directly compared to the Company-s fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2012 quarterly or annual results as reported under IFRS.
Transition to IFRS
Effective December 1, 2010, the Company changed its functional and presentation currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar as a result of the adoption of IFRS and the significant role of the U.S. dollar in the business operations of the Company. In addition, as required under IFRS, the Company must now recognize revenue attributed to the hardware components contained in a multiple-element agreement as if it were an upfront sale at the inception of the arrangement. The effect of applying this change at December 1, 2010 was the elimination of deferred cost of equipment sales and capital assets deployed accounts, as well as a significant reduction in deferred revenue to reflect the upfront sale, while the Company restated net finance receivable to reflect the fair value of the delivered elements of the arrangement. Accordingly, revenue under IFRS, including what the Company has reported for Q1 2012 and Q1 2011, is reduced by an amount equal to the fair value of the hardware components of the arrangement recognized in past periods. While the changes to the Company-s accounting policies under IFRS are significant, the underlying business model and cash inflows remain the same as they were under CGAAP.
Change in Fiscal Year End
GuestLogix also announced today that the Board of Directors has approved a change in the Company-s fiscal year end from November 30 to December 31, effective fiscal 2012. As a result, GuestLogix will have a 13-month 2012 fiscal year, as the fiscal year commenced December 1, 2011 and will end to December 31, 2012.
