MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for the integrity and fair presentation of the financial information contained in this annual report. Where appropriate, the financial information, including financial statements, reflects amounts based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Financial information presented elsewhere in the annual report is consistent with that disclosed in the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The system of controls is also supported by a professional staff of internal auditors who conduct periodic audits of many aspects of our operations and report their findings to management and the Audit Committee.
Management has a process in place to evaluate internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.
The Board of Directors oversees management’s responsibility for financial reporting and internal control systems through an Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management, our internal auditors and independent auditors to review the scope and results of the annual audit and to review the financial statements and related financial reporting and internal control matters before the financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appointed by the shareholders, have audited our financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and have expressed their opinion in the auditor’s report.

To the Shareholders of PNI Digital Media Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PNI Digital Media Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at September 30, 2012, September 30 2011 and October 1, 2010 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Canadian generally accepted auditing standards also require that we comply with ethical requirements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence, on a test basis, about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles and policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PNI Digital Media Inc. and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010 and their financial performance and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
1. | Nature of operations |
PNI Digital Media Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol PN and the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol PNDMF. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 590, 425 Carrall Street, Vancouver, B.C. Canada, V6B 6E3. During the year ended September 30, 2011 our common shares traded in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). Effective October 18, 2011 the Company’s application to the Toronto Stock Exchange was approved and the Company’s shares were de-listed from the TSX-V and began trading on the TSX.
PNI Digital Media Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “the Company”) provide retailers transaction processing and order routing services through the operation of the PNI Digital Media Platform. The PNI Digital Media Platform connects consumer-ordered digital content, whether from online, in-store kiosks, desktop software or mobile phones, with retailers that have on-demand manufacturing capabilities for the production of personalized products such as photo prints, gifting products such as photo books and photo calendars, business cards and stationery. The Company’s online platform electronically connects the retailer and its customers through the internet and provides digital image delivery, hosting, transaction processing and storage. In addition, the Company provides the retailer with kiosk software which allows consumers to offload digital images from their digital media and order prints and gifting products within the retailer’s locations. The kiosk software is also connected to the Company’s online platform permitting customers in-store to order gifting products from the kiosk, which are then transmitted from the kiosk to a remote fulfillment facility via the online platform.
2. | Basis of preparation and adoption of IFRS |
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as defined in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and to require publicly accountable enterprises to apply these standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, these are the Company’s first consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). In these financial statements, the term “Canadian GAAP” refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of IFRS. The first date at which IFRS was applied was October 1, 2010 (“Transition Date”).
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of financial statements, including International Financial Reporting Standard 1,First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS 1”). Subject to certain transition elections and mandatory exemptions from retrospective application disclosed in note 22, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies in its opening IFRS balance sheet as at October 1, 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 22
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company’s reported balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS effective for the year ended September 30, 2012, as issued and effective.
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on January 4, 2013.
3. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a) | Basis of measurement |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
b) | Basis of consolidation |
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Wholly owned subsidiaries are entities in which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are PhotoChannel Capital Inc., PhotoChannel Management Inc., PNI Digital Media Ltd., PNI Digital Media Europe Ltd., Pixology Incorporated and WorksMedia Limited.
All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
c) | Business combinations |
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the cash paid and the fair value of other assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the acquisition date. All acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of an acquisition over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the cost of an acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired entity, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
d) | Segment reporting |
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
e) | Foreign currency translation |
(i) | Function and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity in the PNI Digital Media Inc. group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of PNI Digital Media Inc. is the Canadian dollar.
The financial statements of entities that have a functional currency different from that of PNI Digital Media Inc. (“foreign operations”) are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period (as this is considered a reasonable approximation of the actual rates prevailing at the transaction dates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.
Should a foreign operation be sold, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) since October 1, 2010 would be recognized in the income statements as part of the profit or loss on sale.
(ii) | Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an entities’ functional currency are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in “realized foreign exchange (loss) gain” and “unrealized foreign exchange (loss) gain” respectively.
f) | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As at September 30, 2012, September 30, 2011, and October 1, 2010, the Company had no investments with original terms to maturity of greater than three months.
g) | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs, if any, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of income during the period in which they are incurred.
The major categories of property and equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:
Computer equipment | 30% declining balance | |
Furniture and office equipment | 20% declining balance | |
Leasehold improvements | Life of the lease | |
Equipment held under capital lease | Life of the lease |
Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included in the appropriate expense category including cost of sales, software development, general and administration and sales and marketing.
h) | Intangible assets | |
(i) | Identifiable intangible assets |
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination that meet the specified criteria for recognition, apart from goodwill, are initially recognized and measured at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, including acquired software, software developed for internal use and customer relationships, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Acquired software | 3 years | |
Customer relationships | 3 years | |
Internal use software | 1-3 years |
Amortization of intangible assets is included within cost of sales. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed annually or earlier if events and circumstances change.
(ii) | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise over the fair values assigned to the identifiable net assets of the acquired enterprise at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the related business combination. The allocation of goodwill to cash generating units reflects how goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A group of CGUs represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which is not higher than an operating segment. Goodwill is not amortized, and is carried at cost less accumulated
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
impairment losses, if any. Management reviews the performance of its cash generating units based on geography at the operating segment level. Irrespective of any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit or group of cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated is tested annually for impairment and when there is an indication that the goodwill may be impaired in accordance with “impairment of non-financial assets.” Any impairment is recognized in expense immediately. Any impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.
i) | Impairment of non-financial assets |
Property and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual impairment test. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). The recoverable amount is the higher of:
An asset’s fair value less costs to sell; and
Value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU).
The Company uses value in use when performing its impairment assessment or in instances where the value in use is less than the carrying amount the Company assesses the fair value of the CGU. Value in use is determined as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash generating unit. Estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated future prices, operating and capital costs.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The Company evaluates impairment losses, other than goodwill, for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration.
It is possible that some of our tangible or intangible long-lived assets or goodwill could become impaired in the future and that any resulting write-downs could be material.
j) | Current and Deferred Income taxes |
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss (income) except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. As at September, 2012, the Company has not incurred any taxes payable (September 30, 2011: $nil).
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Tax on income in interim periods accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for operating losses or tax credits. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is realized or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
k) | Share capital |
Direct costs associated with the issue of capital stock or warrants are deducted from the related proceeds at the time of the issue.
l) | Revenue |
The Company provides online and in-store digital media solutions to retailers. These solutions are primarily provided through the PNI Digital Media Network services (Network Services). The Company also provides professional services and sells software products to retailers either directly or through license and distribution agreements. The products sold do not have any general rights of return except under arrangements whereby the Company provides the product to the ultimate customer.
Through Network Services, the Company’s customers obtain access to the PNI Digital Media Platform (Platform) which provides the technology which delivers media transactions between retailers and content providers and their consumers. The Platform provides a transaction and order routing tier which delivers orders placed either through online sites or kiosks to the production facilities of the Company’s customers for production and delivery to end consumers. Through the Platform, customers are able to store, edit, archive, distribute and print photographs and other personalized products. The Company does not produce the content, but may act as an agent for certain retailers for some consumer deliverables. The Network Services provided by the Company may include the software, hosting, storage and archiving facilities, ongoing development up to a specified threshold of hours, initial integration of the software into the customer’s environment, technical support, maintenance services and hardware. Fees for these services are paid through fixed and variable fees. The variable fees are based on different factors and may be based on the number of physical locations connected to the Network, the number of transactions processed through the Platform, the number of images uploaded through the Platform, a percentage of revenue earned by its customers and the amount of storage capacity used in excess of minimums provided in the contract. The Company accounts for the Network Services as a single unit of accounting.
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
In some instances, the Company provides services to the ultimate customers who access the PNI Network through a retailer’s website. These services include taking on the responsibility for the fulfillment of print orders, the provision of certain consumer deliverables and other media. The Company pays the retailer a commission for the use of their website and other services provided by the retailer. The Company is responsible for fulfilling the ultimate customers’ orders and fulfills its obligations through the use of third party suppliers who ship the products directly to the customer. Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns, as the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer at that time. The Company estimates the provision for returns based on historical experience and adjusts to actual returns when determinable.
The Company provides professional services in addition to the initial integration services to make changes to the customer’s website and branded environment and to provide email marketing programs to customers.
Revenue is considered realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; | |
(ii) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; | |
(iii) | The price is fixed or determinable; and | |
(iv) | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
Cash received from customers prior to the related revenue being recognized is recorded as deferred revenue. In addition to this general policy:
Fees earned for software licenses relate to the sale of software either directly to retailers or to distributors for resale to retailers for use in-store, allowing end users to edit and order prints and other photo-related items from digital images. Revenue from these arrangements that involve multiple elements are reviewed to determine whether a delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s). If these criteria are met, the Company allocates revenue using the relative fair value of each element within the contract that has stand-alone value, such as software products, post contract customer support and maintenance. In instances, where the Company has evidence of the fair value of each element within a multiple deliverable arrangement, revenue is recognized upon the delivery or rendering of service(s) with respect to each element as there is no general right of return. Revenue for perpetual software licenses is recognized upon delivery, as the license holder is not obligated to pay maintenance for the ongoing use of the license. Maintenance fees are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the maintenance service period. If the fair value of the delivered item is not obtainable, the Company allocates revenue using the residual method in instances where the fair value of the undelivered item is verifiable. The Company does not currently have any multiple deliverable arrangements which require the use of the residual approach.
PNI Digital Media Inc. |

(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Installation fees are fixed upfront fees related to Network Services which are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement, or where the agreement with the customer is on a month-to-month basis, over the estimated life of the customer relationship period. The customer relationship period is assessed annually, and has been estimated to be 24 to 48 months.
Monthly fixed fees per connected location are recognized monthly and are included in membership fees.
Fees for storing and archiving digital images for customers in excess of the minimums provided in the agreement are based upon our customers storage capacity needs, and are recognized as the storage is provided and are included in archive fees.
Professional services are recognized when the services are completed and included in professional fees.
The Company offers volume and other rebates and discounts to certain customers which are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the date the related revenue is recognized or the date the offer is made for previously recognized revenue. The amount of rebates is based on estimates of the expected rebates to be paid based on historical and expected trends or on the maximum potential rebates that could be earned by a customer if the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebate. The Company accounts for cash consideration offered to customers, including annual volume discounts, as a reduction in sales revenue.
All revenues are reported net of sales and value added taxes.
Trade accounts receivable balances are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts.
m) | Software development costs |
Software development costs includes the costs to customize aspects of the Company's PNI Network software for specific customers as well as the cost of generating the Company's software used in the PNI Network and software sold to customers. For costs incurred to generate software used in the PNI Network or sold to customers, the Company classifies costs into a research phase and a development phase. Costs incurred during the research phase are expensed when incurred as the Company is not able to demonstrate that the software will generate future economic benefits. Costs incurred during the development phase are recognized as intangible assets only if the Company can demonstrate all of the following:
The technical feasibility of completing the software so that it will be available for use or sale;
Its intention to complete the software and use or sell it;
Its ability to use or sell the software;
How the software will generate probable future economic benefits;
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and use or sell the software; and
Its ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the software during its development.
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
If these criteria are not met, the development costs are expensed when incurred for both costs of developing the Company’s software used directly in the PNI Network and the software which is sold to customers or customized for customers. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company had incurred software development costs of $9,678,638 (2011: $9,439,423). These costs principally consist of staff and consulting costs associated with the day to day operations of the Company including customizing aspects of the Company’s PNI Network software for specific customers, generating and maintaining the Company’s software used in the PNI Network and exploring new initiatives. During the year ended September 30, 2012 the Company capitalized $508,806 of development costs (2011: $186,426) as all of these costs met the capitalization criteria.
n) | Cost of sales |
Cost of sales is comprised of costs associated with providing hosting services to our customers, customer support provided on behalf of our customers, and costs of products sold as it relates to instances where the Company is responsible for fulfillment of certain items sold. Hosting services include costs for renting our data centers, personnel costs associated with maintaining and monitoring the performance of our network, personnel and consulting costs associated with maintaining our customer’s sites and third party software licenses used in maintaining the performance of our network and platform. In addition, cost of sales includes amortization associated with property and equipment used in our data centers, amortization associated with acquired software, customer relationships and internal use software relating to generating revenue.
o) | Share-based payment |
The Company’s share-based awards may take the form of stock options, Performance Share Units (“PSU”), and Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) which are granted to directors and certain employees of the Company as an element of compensation. The cost of the service received as consideration is measured based on an estimate of fair value at the date of the grant. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the related service period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. If graded awards are granted, each vesting tranche is accounted for as a separate award. Compensation expense is recognized for awards expected to vest over the applicable vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus.
On exercise of stock options, the Company issues common shares from treasury and the consideration received together with the compensation expense previously recorded to contributed surplus is credited to share capital. On vesting of PSUs and RSUs, the Company issues common shares from treasury and the compensation expense previously recorded to contributed surplus is credited to share capital. All awards are equity settled.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the Company to estimate the expected term of the options granted, the volatility of the Company’s common shares, forfeitures, and an expected dividend yield. The Company estimates the expected term of the options granted by considering the Company’s historical experience involving
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
stock option exercise; cancellations and expiries; volatility is estimated with reference to historical volatility data; forfeitures are estimated with reference to historical forfeiture data. The Company does not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore has used an expected dividend yield of zero as detailed in note 13b. The Black-Scholes model also requires the Company to input a risk-free interest rate and the Company uses the Bank of Canada marketable bond rates.
The fair value of each PSU and RSU awarded is based upon the quoted price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. All PSU and RSU awards are equity settled. As it relates to PSUs and RSUs, the Company estimates the expected forfeiture rate and no value is attributed to awards that the employee is expected to forfeit as a result of not achieving the service or performance conditions. The expected forfeiture rate is adjusted for actual forfeitures when they occur.
p) | Leases |
Leases entered into are classified as either finance or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as finance leases. Property acquired under finance leases is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet with a corresponding increase to the finance lease obligation and depreciated over the life of the lease.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The benefits of lease inducements provided to the Company are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement.
q) | Financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
At initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:
(i) | Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset or liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also included in this category unless they are designated as hedges. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities classified within this category. |
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Financial instruments in this category are recognized initially and subsequently at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(ii) | Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The Company’s loans and receivables comprise trade and other accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents, and are included in current assets due to their short-term nature. | |
Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the amount expected to be received less, when material, a discount to reduce the loans and receivables to fair value. Subsequently, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less a provision for impairment. Changes in the amortized cost are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. | ||
(iii) | Financial liabilities at amortized cost: Financial liabilities at amortized cost include trade payables, deferred revenue, debt and finance lease obligations. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the amount required to be paid less, when material, a discount to reduce the payables to fair value. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Changes in the amortized cost are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. | |
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within twelve months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. | ||
r) | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in any provision due to passage of time is recognized as accretion expense.
s) | Earnings per share |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the period attributable to equity owners of PNI Digital Media Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted net earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants and the unrecognized portion of the fair value of stock options are applied to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period. Stock options and warrants are dilutive when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.

4. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows:
a) | IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by IASB in November 2009. This standard addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments with recognition at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive earnings. IFRS 9 is effective for annual years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the financial statements. | |
b) | IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC-12”), and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”), effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The company has not yet determined the impact this new standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. | |
c) | IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted. The company has not yet determined the impact this new standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. | |
d) | IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. In addition, IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures about fair value measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard. |
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
e) | IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The revision is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 with early application permitted. The standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. | |

5. | Significant accounting estimate uncertainties |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. 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 future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The judgments that management has applied in the application of accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below:
The assessment of the carrying values of long-lived assets; The impairment tests performed for both the Company’s Canadian operating segment and the Company’s European operating segment were based on their value in use or fair value as applicable. The value in use was determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows generated from the continuing use of these units. Estimates used to determine value in use are reviewed annually and updated based on facts and circumstances. The calculation of value in use was based on the following key assumptions:
Cash flows were projected based on past experience, actual operating results and planned results for the near term. Terminal value calculations for each cash generating unit were extrapolated using a constant growth rate of 1.4% to 3%.
Management has applied an internally determined pre-tax discount rate in determining the recoverable amount for these units. Risks specific to the
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
assets of these units have not been included within the calculation of the discount rates used, but have been factored into the cash flow projections.
The net present value of the future expected cash flows was compared to the carrying value of the Company’s investment in these units, including goodwill, at year-end.
The inputs used in accounting for share-based compensation. See note 13 for a discussion of the key estimates used; and
The amount recognised as deferred tax is generally determining utilising undiscounted cash flows aligned with estimates used in assessing the impairment of goodwill. Management considers all factors that could affect the probability that future taxable profits will be available. The factors include profitability of operations, estimate of terminal value, which is calculated consistently with the terminal value used to assess the carrying value of long-term assets, and customer renewal rates.
The amounts recognised is sensitive to the loss of certain key customers.
6. | Cost of sales and operating expenses: |

9. | Current and Deferred Income taxes |
For the year ended September 30, 2012 the Company recorded $1,814,221 of deferred income tax expense (2011 - $1,299,025 of deferred income tax recovery). Non-capital losses were used to offset taxable income where applicable resulting in nil current income tax. The deferred income tax expense in the year primarily arose from a $3,146,687 reversal of previously recognized Canadian income tax assets due to uncertainty surrounding their recovery. The reversal was offset by the partial recognition of previously unrecognized UK income tax assets. The prior year income tax recovery was primarily also a result of recognition of previously unrecognized UK income tax assets.
The gross movement of the deferred income tax account is as follows:

The Company’s loss before tax includes a loss of $3,940,457 (2011 – $1,672,143) from domestic operations and earnings of $1,632,022 (2011 – $1,472,718) from foreign operations.
c) | Deferred tax assets and liabilities |
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. This assumption is based on management’s best estimate of future circumstances and events. If these estimates and assumptions changed in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets could increase or decrease, resulting in an income tax recovery or expense.
The composition of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

c) | Performance Share Unit Awards |
A Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) is a right granted to an executive level employee to receive one common share of the Company. The PSUs will be earned only if performance goals (non-market conditions) over the performance periods established by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee are met. PSUs vest over three years in equal annual instalments on each anniversary of the date of grant and will be delivered in common stock at the end of each vesting period, based on the recipient’s actual performance compared to the target performance and may equal from zero percent (0%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the target award. The fair value of each PSU awarded is based upon the quoted price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, as the Company does not expect to pay dividends such an amount has not been included in the fair value of PSUs. The Company recognizes the expense based on an estimate at the end of each reporting period of the degree to which the performance goals are being met, incorporating an expected forfeiture rate of 2.7%, and adjusts the estimate at the conclusion of the performance period. The expense is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the vesting period.

ii) | Material adjustments to the statement of cash flows for September 30, 2011 |
There were no material differences between the statements of cash flows presented under IFRSs and the statement of cash flows presented under previous Canadian GAAP and thus no reconciliation of the statements of cash flows between Canadian GAAP and IFRS have been presented.
iv) | Notes to the reconciliations |
In addition to the exemptions and exceptions discussed above, the following narratives explain the differences between the previous historical Canadian GAAP accounting policies and the current IFRS accounting policies applied by the Company. Only the differences having an impact on the Company are described below. The following is not a complete summary of all of the differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS. The descriptive caption next to each lettered item below corresponds to the same lettered and descriptive caption in the tables above, which reflect the quantitative impacts from each change. Unless a quantitative impact was noted below, the impact from the change was not material to the Company.
a) | Income taxes - tax reclassification |
In accordance with Canadian GAAP, deferred taxes are split between current and non-current components on the basis of either: (1) the underlying asset or liability, or (2) the expected reversal of items not related to an asset or liability.
In accordance with IFRS, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. As a result current deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized under Canadian GAAP have been reclassified as non-current.
b) | Income taxes – Pixology loss carry-forwards |
During the years ended September 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011; the Company determined that a portion of the previously unrecognized Pixology loss carry forwards should be recognized as the likelihood of realization of the tax asset was estimated to be more likely than not. Canadian GAAP requires that a future income tax asset acquired in a business combination that was not recognized at the time of acquisition as an identifiable asset but is subsequently recognized by the acquirer should be applied to reduce goodwill and intangibles to zero, with any remaining amount recognized as a reduction to income tax expense. Accordingly, the following amounts were credited against goodwill and intangible assets arising from the Pixology acquisition as follows:
September 30, 2011 | September 30, 2010 | ||||||
Decrease in intangible assets | $ | - | $ | 89,266 | |||
Decrease in Goodwill | 77,382 | 949,152 |
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Total | $ | 77,382 | $ | 1,038,418 |
IFRS requires the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to acquired losses and deductible temporary differences to be recognized as a deferred tax recovery in the Statement of Earnings (Loss) and Comprehensive Gain (Loss).
However, as the Company has elected to apply IFRS 3,Business Combinations, prospectively to business combinations that occur after the date of transition; the Company is not permitted to reverse adjustments to goodwill that IFRS 3 would not permit hence no reversal was made to the application of Pixology loss carry-forwards to goodwill prior to October 1, 2010. The Company has reversed the application of Pixology loss carry-forwards made during the year ended September 30, 2011.
While the application of IFRS 3 prospectively does not permit adjustments to goodwill prior to the transition date, the Company is required to reverse the application of Pixology loss carry-forwards to intangible assets. This change in accounting policy does not have an impact on the October 1, 2010 intangible asset balance as all Pixology related intangible assets would have been fully amortized by the year ended September 30, 2010 as the increase in amortization expense would be offset by the decrease in income tax expense.
This change in accounting policy has impacted the following accounts as follows:

c) | Income taxes – share issue costs |
During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company determined that it was more likely than not to realize the loss carry forwards and other deductible temporary differences arising in Canada. As a result the Company recorded a deferred tax asset relating to these items and recorded a deferred tax benefit. A portion of the deferred tax asset recognized, in the amount of $107,611, related to share issue costs that are deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with Canadian GAAP, the portion of the deferred tax asset of $107,611 related to share issue costs was recorded as a deferred tax benefit within the Company’s Statement of Earnings (Loss) and Comprehensive Gain (Loss). IFRS, however, requires

temporary differences related to equity items be recognized as an increase or decrease to share capital.
This change in accounting policy has impacted the following accounts as follows:

d) | Cumulative translation adjustment |
As the Company has elected to apply the IFRS 1 exemption for cumulative translation differences, the Company has recorded an adjusting entry to reset the cumulative translation differences to zero at the transition date. Application of this accounting policy choice results in a decrease of $2,319,536 in accumulated other comprehensive loss and a corresponding increase in deficit as of October 1, 2010.
e) | Share-based payments |
There are two changes on transition regarding the accounting for share-based payments. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company treated its stock option, PSU and RSU tranches as single pools and determined fair value using an average life of the grant as a whole, and then recognized compensation expense on a straight-line basis. IFRS requires each tranche to be valued separately and recognized as compensation over its individual vesting period; this results in earlier recognition of the compensation expense as compared to Canadian GAAP. With respect to forfeitures, the Company recognized forfeitures as they occurred under Canadian GAAP; under IFRS, companies are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant with resulting effects on the compensation expense recognized.
This change in accounting policy has impacted the following accounts as follows:

f) | Other Reclassifications |
Certain other balances and financial statement captions have been reclassified from Canadian GAAP to conform with the presentation requirements of IFRS. The reclassification of these balances had no impact on net equity as at transition to IFRS.
22. | Financial instruments |
The Company is exposed to a number of risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, collection of accounts receivable, settlement of liabilities and management of cash and cash equivalents.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and leases, approximates the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature and historical collectability. These values represent the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate agreements taking into consideration current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or other financial assets. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it has sufficient cash available to manage the payment of its financial liabilities. As described in note 20, the Company has a $1,500,000 revolving demand facility and a $750,000 reducing facility by way of leases in place to help manage its liquidity position and therefore its liquidity is dependent on the availability of these facilities as well as its overall volume of business activity and ability to manage the collection and payment of its accounts receivable and accounts payable through cash flow management techniques.
The following table discloses the maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities as at September 30, 2012:
Payments due by period | |||||

PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $3,032,352. During the same period the Company’s working capital has decreased by $617,804 from $5,397,594 to $4,779,790. The Company's liquidity position may, however, fluctuate during the year due to a number of factors which could include unanticipated changes to its volume of business, credit losses and the extent of capital expenditure in the year. The Company's liquidity position may also be adversely impacted by the seasonal nature of its business with the Company's busiest period of activity typically during the first quarter of the fiscal year. As the Company has a concentration of business with select key customers, its liquidity position would be adversely impacted if one of its key customer relationships was discontinued.
The Company primarily monitors its liquidity position through forecasting expected cash flows based on the timing of expected receipts and payments. Management monitors its cash balances and projections on a weekly and monthly basis. The starting point for its analysis is based upon the contractual maturity date of its liabilities and its expected collection period for its receivables. The Company has a positive working capital position of $4,779,790 at September 30, 2012 and it manages the payment of its financial liabilities based on available cash and matching the settlement of its financial liabilities to realized financial assets. The Company also monitors its debtor collection as described in the credit risk note above. As the Company's revenues are primarily collectible within 30 days of invoicing, which is performed weekly for some customers and monthly for others, the Company aims to be able to collect its accounts receivable more promptly than it settles its third party accounts payable. However, as certain of the Company's operating expenses such as its payroll obligations are contractually due at least monthly, the Company’s working capital position could periodically alter depending on the timing of the maturity of its accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In prior years the Company purchased a number of items of property and equipment using a finance lease. At September 30, 2010, the Company had an outstanding obligation under this lease of $107,964, all of which has been settled during the year ended September 30, 2011.
The Company’s activities are being funded out of its operating cash flow and cash reserves and to date, the Company has not utilized its credit facilities. As a result of generating positive cash flows from operatings during the year ended September 30, 2012 the Company has not encountered any difficulties operating in this manner; however, if positive results are not continued in future periods there is a risk that the Company would be required to use its credit facilities.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company aims to protect its cash and cash equivalents from undue risk by holding them with various high credit quality financial institutions located in Canada and the United Kingdom. In circumstances in which a bank in which the Company holds a deposit has any significant decline in its credit rating, the Company carefully monitors the extent of any credit risk net of government deposit guarantees and, where appropriate, would take remedial action to minimise the risk of any potential credit loss. Of the amounts held with financial institutions on deposit, $180,045 is covered by either
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the United Kingdom or the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, leaving $4,431,779 at risk should the financial institutions with which the deposits are held cease trading.
The Company's accounts receivable are all from large, well-known retailers located primarily in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Credit risk from accounts receivable encompasses the default risk of retail customers. The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by only working with larger, reputable companies and prior to accepting new customers; the Company assesses the risk of default associated with a particular company. In addition, on an ongoing basis, management monitor the level of accounts receivable attributable to each customer and the length of time taken for amounts to be settled and where necessary, takes appropriate action to follow up on those balances considered overdue.
Management does not believe that there is significant credit risk arising from any of the Company's customers; however, should one of the Company's main customers be unable to settle amounts due, the impact on the Company could be significant. The maximum exposure to loss arising from accounts receivable is equal to their total carrying amounts. At September 30, 2012, three customers each account for 10% or more of total trade accounts receivable (September 30, 2011 – five customers).
Financial assets past due
At September 30, 2012, the Company has a provision of $130,023 against trade accounts receivable, the collection of which is considered doubtful.
The following table provides information regarding the ageing of financial assets that are past due but which are not impaired.
At September 30, 2012

The definition of items that are past due is determined by reference to terms agreed with individual customers. Of the 91 days+ balance outstanding at September 30, 2012, 78% has been subsequently collected as at January 7, 2013. None of the amounts outstanding have been challenged by the respective customer(s) and the Company continues to conduct business with them on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, management has no reason to believe that this balance is not fully collectable in the future.
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
The Company reviews financial assets past due on an ongoing basis with the objective of identifying potential matters which could delay the collection of funds at an early stage. Once items are identified as being past due, contact is made with the respective company to determine the reason for the delay in payment and to establish an agreement to rectify the breach of contractual terms. At September 30, 2012, the Company had a provision for doubtful accounts of $130,023 which was made against trade accounts receivable in excess of twelve months old or where collection efforts to date have been unsuccessful. All amounts neither past due nor impaired are collectible from large, well-known retailers located in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company is not aware of any information suggesting that the collectability of these amounts is in doubt.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk to the Company that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk arises as a result of the Company generating revenues and incurring expenses in foreign currencies, holding cash and cash equivalents which earn interest and having operations based in the United Kingdom in the form of its wholly owned subsidiary, PNI Digital Media Europe Ltd.
Interest rate risk
The only financial instruments that expose the Company to interest rate risk are its cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s objectives of managing its cash and cash equivalents are to ensure sufficient funds are maintained on hand at all times to meet day-to-day requirements and to place any amounts which are considered in excess of day-to-day requirements on short-term deposit with the Company's banks so that they earn interest. When placing amounts of cash and cash equivalents on short-term deposit, the Company only uses high quality commercial banks and ensures that access to the amounts placed can be obtained on short-notice.
Currency risk
The Company generates revenues and incurs expenses and expenditures primarily in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom and is exposed to risk from changes in foreign currency rates. In addition, the Company holds financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that expose the Company to foreign exchange risks. The Company does not utilise any financial instruments or cash management policies to mitigate the risks arising from changes in foreign currency rates.
At September 30, 2012, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,127,963, accounts receivable of $1,596,565 and accounts payable of $1,095,573 which were denominated in UK £. In addition, at September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $421,081, accounts receivable of $2,099,764 and accounts payable of $699,185 which were denominated in US$.
Sensitivity analysis
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact on net earnings for the year which a change in foreign exchange rates or interest rates during the Year ended September 30, 2012 would have had.
This sensitivity analysis includes the following assumptions:
Changes in individual foreign exchange rates do not cause foreign exchange rates in other countries to alter
Changes in market interest rates do not cause a change in foreign exchange rates
The results of the foreign exchange rate sensitivity analysis can be seen in the following table:
Impact on net | |
profit | |
$ | |
Change of +/- 10% in US$ foreign exchange rate | +/-321,300 |
Change of +/- 10% in UK£ foreign exchange rate | +/-412,796 |
The above results arise primarily as a result of the Company having US$ denominated trade accounts receivable balances, trade accounts payable balances and bank account balances.
Limitations of sensitivity analysis
The above table demonstrates the effect of either a change in foreign exchange rates or interest rates in isolation. In reality, there is a correlation between the two factors.
Additionally, the financial position of the Company may vary at the time that a change in either of these factors occurs, causing the impact on the Company’s results to differ from that shown above.
Capital Management
The Company considers its share capital, share capital purchased for cancellation, and contributed surplus, as capital, which at September 30, 2012 totalled $86,151,450.
The Company manages its capital structure in order to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet day to day operating requirements; to allow it to enhance existing product offerings as well as develop new ones and to have the financial ability to expand the size of its operations by taking on new customers. In managing its capital structure, the Company takes into consideration various factors, including the seasonality of the market in which it operates the growth of its business and related infrastructure and the upfront cost of taking on new clients.
The Company’s Officers and senior management take full responsibility for managing the Company’s capital and do so through quarterly meetings and regular review of financial information. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing this process.
PNI Digital Media Inc. |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
(expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Methods used by the Company in previous periods to manage its capital include the issuance of new share capital and warrants which has historically been done through private placements primarily with institutional investors.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
