SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
(a) |
|
Basis
of presentation |
| |
These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and
pursuant to the instructions of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. |
| |
While
these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim
period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Annual Report of MDSI Mobile Data Solutions Inc. (the Company or MDSI)
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. |
| |
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for
doubtful accounts, amortization, determination of the net recoverable value of assets,
revenue recognized on long term contracts, taxes and contingencies. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. |
| |
We
recognize revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions, SOP 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-type and Certain Production-type
Contracts, the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 (SAB
104), Revenue Recognition, and other authoritative accounting
literature. We derive revenues from the following sources: license fees, professional
services, maintenance and support fees and third party products and services. |
| |
We
generally provide services with our supply agreements that include significant
production, modification, and customisation of the software. These services are not
separable and are essential to the functionality of the software, and as a result we
account for these licence and service arrangements under SOP 81-1 using the percentage of
completion method of contract accounting. |
| |
License
Fees and Professional Services |
| |
Our
supply agreements generally include multiple products and services, or elements. We
use the residual method to recognize revenue when a supply agreement includes one or more
elements to be delivered at a future date and vendor specific objective evidence of the
fair value of all undelivered elements exists. The fair value of the undelivered elements
is determined based on the historical evidence of stand-alone sales, or renewal terms of
these elements to customers. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered
elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee, which relates to
the license and implementation services, is recognized as revenue on a percentage of
completion basis. If evidence of the fair value of one or more undelivered elements does
not exist, the total revenue is deferred and recognized when delivery of those elements
occurs or when fair value is established. |

|
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
| |
(c) |
|
Revenue
recognition (continued) |
| |
We
estimate the percentage of completion on contracts with fixed fees on a monthly basis
utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated man-days to complete
the project. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion,
revenue is recognized when we receive final acceptance from the customer. When the total
cost estimate for a project exceeds revenue, we accrue for the estimated losses
immediately. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the
assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue and related
expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements. A number of internal and
external factors can affect our estimates, including labor rates, utilization and
efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement changes. |
| |
We
are engaged on a continuous basis in the production and delivery of software under
contractual agreements. As a result we have developed a history of being able to estimate
costs to complete and the extent of progress toward completion of contracts, which
supports the use of the percentage of completion method of contract accounting. |
| |
Professional
services revenue primarily consists of consulting and customer training revenues, which
are usually charged on a time and materials basis and are recognized as the services are
performed. Revenue from certain fixed price contracts is recognized on a proportional
performance basis, which involves the use of estimates related to total expected man-days
of completing the contract derived from historical experience with similar contracts. If
we do not have a sufficient basis to measure the progress towards completion, revenue is
recognized when the project is completed or when we receive final acceptance from the
customer. |
| |
Generally,
maintenance is initially sold as an element of a master supply arrangement, with
subsequent annual renewals, and is priced as a percentage of new software license fees.
Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which
typically is one year. Maintenance and support revenue includes software license updates
that provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance
releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Product support
services also include Internet and telephone access to technical support personnel. |
| |
Historically,
we have provided a warranty phase during the supply agreement. Services provided during
this warranty phase include elements of maintenance and support. As a result we defer a
portion of the supply agreement fee, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the
value of these services, and recognize the deferred amount as revenue pro rata over the
warranty period. |
| |
Third
party products and services |
| |
Revenue
from sales of third party products and services is recognized on delivery of the
products. Services are recognized on a percentage-complete basis. When software licenses
are sold incorporating third-party products or sold with third-party products, we
recognize as revenue the gross amount of sales of third-party product. The recognition of
gross revenue is in accordance with criteria established in Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue (EITF) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a
Principal versus Net as an Agent. |
| |
On
occasion, we utilize third-party consultants to assist in implementations or
installations originated by the Company. In these cases, in accordance with criteria
established in EITF No. 99-19 (as described above), the revenue for these implementations
and installations is typically recognized on a gross basis. In these cases, we ultimately
manage the engagement. |

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
| |
(d) |
|
Recently
issued accounting standards |
| |
In
June 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure
draft of a proposed Statement, Fair Value Measurements, to provide guidance
on how to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
when required by other authoritative accounting pronouncements. The proposed statement
attempts to address concerns about the ability to develop reliable estimates of fair
value and inconsistencies in fair value guidance provided by current US GAAP, by creating
a framework that clarifies the fair value objective and its application in GAAP. In
addition, the proposal expands disclosures required about the use of fair value to
remeasure assets and liabilities. The standard would be effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is
currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Companys consolidated
financial statements. |
| |
In
March 2004, the FASB ratified consensuses reached by the EITF with respect to EITF Issue
No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to
Certain Investments. EITF Issue No. 03-1 addresses recognition, measurement and
disclosure of other-than-temporary impairment evaluations for securities within the scope
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and equity securities that
are not subject to the scope of SFAS No. 115 and are not accounted for under the equity
method according to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. The recognition and measurement
guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. Disclosures
for cost method investments are required to be included in annual financial statements
prepared for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The Company does not have any
significant cost method investments and therefore adoption is not expected to have a
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
| |
In
December 2003, the SEC issued SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which
supercedes SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The
primary purpose of SAB 104 is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related
to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superceded as a result of the
issuance of EITF No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables. SAB 104 also incorporated certain sections of the SECs Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document.
While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the
revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB
104. The adoption of SAB 104 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements. |

|
Stock-based
compensation |
| |
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value based method
whereby compensation cost is recorded for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price
of the common share over the exercise price of the common stock option at the date
granted. |

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |

Using
the fair value method for stock-based compensation, additional compensation costs of
approximately $72,834 would have been recorded for the three months ended September 30,
2004 (2003 $371,192), and $508,666 would have been recorded for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 (2003 $1,067,322). This amount is determined using an
option pricing model assuming no dividends are to be paid, an average vesting period of
four years, average life of the option of 5 years, a weighted average annualized expected
volatility of the Companys share price of 47% and a weighted average annualized
risk free interest rate at 1.1%. |

During
the three months ended September 30, 2004 revenue from two customers accounted for
approximately 20.9% and 5.4% (2003 15.6% and 15.1%), respectively, of total
revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 revenue from two customers
accounted for approximately 18.8% and 10.7% (2003 16.8% and 13.8%), respectively,
of total revenue. |

Basic
loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding plus all additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. In periods for which
there is a reported net loss, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the
calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |

During
the three months ended September 30, 2004 the Company announced a restructuring plan
approved by the Companys Board of Directors to enable the Company to operate in a
more effective and efficient manner and reduce costs. The Company recorded a charge of
$1.5 million in connection with this restructuring. The $1.5 million charge relates to
costs of workforce reduction for approximately 30 affected employees, stock based
compensation charges and other related costs. |
| |
As
at September 30, 2004 a provision of approximately $290,000 remained from a restructuring
charge taken in 2001. The remaining provision relates to excess space the Company has
under lease. |
