Independent Auditors Report
The Shareholders
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in thousands)
1. | Business and organization |
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. and subsidiaries (QIHL or the Company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Bermuda.
The Company has developed and operates a global electronic marketplace to facilitate the procurement of goods and services by companies from their supplier communities. The Company has operating subsidiaries performing customer support services in thirteen countries at December 31, 2009.
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
a. | Basis of presentation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
b. | Use of estimates |
The preparation of consolidated 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 amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. Significant estimates include those required in allocation of revenues between recognized and deferred amounts, fair value of financial instruments, assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
c. | Foreign currency |
The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Companys functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
The functional currency for the Companys operations in Chile and Brazil is the Chilean Peso and Brazilian Real, respectively. In 2008, the Company acquired a professional services company in South Africa for which the functional currency is the South African Rand. The USD is the functional currency for all other foreign operations of the Company. Accordingly, the Companys foreign operations remeasure monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the year-end spot rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rates as of the dates of the initial transactions. Revenue and expense accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity for the Chile, Brazil and South African professional services subsidiaries. The exchange differences arising on the translation of the USD functional currency
6
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
foreign subsidiaries are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income as a foreign currency gain or loss.
d. | Certain risks and concentrations |
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments. The majority of the Companys revenue and net income is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies could adversely affect operating results.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk are principally its trade accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is partially mitigated due to the large number of entities comprising the Companys customer base. The Company continually evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers financial condition and generally does not require collateral.
e. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
f. | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customers ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduces the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For the remaining customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the aggregate receivables are outstanding, the current business environment and historical experience.
g. | Equipment, furniture and fixtures |
Equipment, furniture and fixtures are comprised of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Costs for replacements and improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the asset, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life for office furniture and equipment is five years and for computer equipment is three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets useful life or the applicable remaining lease term. An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. When an asset is disposed, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the corresponding gain or loss is recognized in earnings.

Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
h. | Internal use software |
Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
i. | Business combinations and goodwill |
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of consideration paid over the Companys share in the fair value of the acquirees net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. When the excess is negative, it is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Subsequent measurement of goodwill is at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
j. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost and consist primarily of software and licenses. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as of the date of acquisition and consist primarily of trademarks. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. The Companys intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life which range from 3 years for software to 10 years for trademarks. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.
k. | Long-lived assets |
The Company reviews equipment, furniture and fixtures and certain identifiable intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If equipment, furniture and fixtures and certain identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value.
The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, rather such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.
l. | Share-based payment awards |
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). All of the Companys share-based remuneration is equity-settled.
8
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
The cost of equity-settled share-based payment awards with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The Company recognizes the cost of equity-settled share-based payment awards together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled using a straight line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Companys best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
m. | Revenue recognition |
Substantially all of the Companys revenue is derived from providing services. The Company recognizes revenue when the following conditions are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and iv) collection is probable. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duty.
For multiple element arrangements, which could include integration fees, membership fees and transaction costs, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on its respective fair value, provided that each element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. An item is considered a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis, and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The fair value of the undelivered element is based on historical evidence of stand-alone sales of the element or upon substantive renewal rates stated in the contract. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one accounting unit and recognized ratably over the performance period.
The Company recognizes revenue from membership fees as it is earned. Prepaid membership fees are deferred and amortized to income over the membership period on a straight-line basis. Fees from auctions and transaction fees are recognized when performance of the service is completed.
Revenue from professional services contracts is recognized by reference to the stage of completion at each balance sheet date. The stage of completion is determined based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs required to provide service under each of the professional services contracts.
n. | Income taxes |
The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided to account for the difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded when it is more likely than not, based on objective evidence, that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
o. | Other comprehensive income |
Other comprehensive income is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments which are excluded from net income.

Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
p. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued updated guidance that establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance requires that noncontrolling interests be classified as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires that the amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests be included in consolidated net income. The guidance was effective 1 January 2009 on a prospective basis except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued updated guidance that establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination. The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The Company adopted this standard 1 January 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance in determining the useful life of intangible assets. The standard changes the factors to be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008. The Company adopted this standard 1 January 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, which establishes the accounting for and disclosures of subsequent events. These changes require the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The Company adopted this accounting standard update in 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued The FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The new codification was effective for interim and annual periods ending after 15 September 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued an update for guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and disclosure amendments for nonpublic entities. The update provides implementation guidance that is applicable to all entities and amends the disclosure requirement for nonpublic entities by eliminating the requirements for certain disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2008. This guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued guidance that allows companies to allocate arrangement consideration in a multiple element arrangement in a way that better reflects the transaction economics. It provides another alternative for establishing fair value for a deliverable when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined. When this evidence cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to
10
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
separate deliverables an allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to require that an entity provide both qualitative and quantitative information about the significant judgments made in applying this guidance. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after 15 June 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
3. | Business combinations |
In 2008, the Company acquired all of the shares in ESS Cubed Procurement (Proprietary) Limited, an eProcurement professional services company, domiciled in South Africa, for $1,343 comprised of $563 cash and 14,424 shares of QIHL common stock. The share issuance to the sellers was subject to the South African Reserve Bank approval for the sellers to hold an equity interest in QIHL, a non-resident company. In 2009, the South African Reserve Bank declined the Sellers petition for ownership in QIHL. As a result, the Company settled the remainder of the consideration in cash and, accordingly, removed the accrued liability from the consolidated balance sheet.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price:
Equipment, furniture and fixtures |
40 | |||
Trade receivables |
238 | |||
Trade and other payables |
(83 | ) | ||
Net identifiable assets and liabilities |
195 | |||
Goodwill on acquisition |
1,148 | |||
Consideration paid |
1,343 | |||
At December 31, 2009, the recoverable amount of the ESS Cubed reporting unit was determined to be less than the carrying amount and an impairment loss of $696 was recognized. The impairment loss, resulting from not meeting forecasted growth projections, was allocated fully to goodwill and is included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
The recoverable amount at December 31, 2009 was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the reporting unit and was based on the following key assumptions:
| Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the annual business plan. |
| Revenues were forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4%. |
| A discount rate of 17.5 percent was applied in determining the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate was estimated based on an industry average weighted average cost of capital for businesses in South Africa. |
11
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
4. | Income tax |
As a Bermuda exempt limited company, the Company has no Bermuda statutory tax obligation. The provision for income taxes results from the Companys operations in taxable jurisdictions and is comprised of the following amounts:
Current income tax provision |
2,933 | |||
Deferred income tax provision (benefit) |
(1,360 | ) | ||
1,573 | ||||
Income tax expense relates to taxable income resulting from cost plus transfer pricing arrangements for the Companys operating subsidiaries in all countries where generally only support operations are maintained, withholding tax and taxable income in Brazil and Chile, which have both revenue and operating responsibilities. Substantially all of the current income tax expense in 2009 relates to the Companys operations in Brazil and Chile.
Components of deferred taxes are as follows:
2009 | ||||
Deferred tax assets: |

At December 31, 2009, the Company had tax losses of approximately $6,122 attributable to operations in The Netherlands and South Africa that are available for offset against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. The tax loss in South Africa can be carried forward indefinitely. The tax loss in The Netherlands expires in the year 2016. The unrecognized tax benefit related to net operating losses at December 31, 2009 is $0.
Deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009 relate to the net operating losses in The Netherlands and South Africa and temporary differences in South Africa, Chile, United States, and Australia. At December 31, 2009, no valuation allowance has been provided due to the expectation of continued operating profits in the jurisdictions in which the net operating losses and temporary differences arose based on the generation of profits from operations in each of the last three years.
Undistributed earnings of certain of the Companys subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested; accordingly, no provision for taxes on repatriation has been provided.

In December 2007, the Company entered into an agreement for the use of a software license. The term of the agreement is 5 years which is the estimated useful life of the asset.

minimum payments using an imputed interest rate of 9.5% totaled $5,036 at inception. Accordingly, the Company recorded both the software intangible asset and the related debt. In November 2009, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company exercised an option to change the territory covered by the agreement which resulted in a reduction of future minimum annual payments. This election was accounted for prospectively and resulted in a reduction to the software intangible asset and related finance lease payable of $1,985 in 2009. The minimum annual payments required by the agreement, after the reduction, are included in the table below. The minimum payment due in 2010 includes $111 related to 2009 that was outstanding at December 31, 2009.

Bank loan
The Company entered into a loan with a U.S. based bank on 25 April 2007. The bank loan, repayable in 36 monthly installments through April 2010, bearing interest at U.S. prime rate plus 2 points was repaid in full in 2009. The bank loan was secured by the assets of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company comprised primarily of computer hardware and office equipment and receivables of the subsidiary. The bank loan was repaid in full in 2009.
Convertible debentures
On 2 July 2004, the Company closed a private placement with several shareholders of $27 par value convertible debentures bearing interest at prime plus 1% for net proceeds of $4,416. The debentures are convertible into 163,589 shares. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on 15 June and 15 December of each year.
The debentures are redeemable for cash, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest at the option of the Company any time or at the option of the holder on or after 2 July 2008. The debentures are collateralized by software licenses and a significant portion of the trade receivables and are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis with no additional payment required from the debenture holder. The debentures mature 2 July 2012 if they are not otherwise redeemed or converted to ordinary shares prior to this date.
In connection with the offering of the convertible debentures, the Company also issued 10,387 common shares as payment for a 4% commission and 163,589 common share purchase warrants to the debenture holders. For accounting purposes, the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debentures were allocated between the fair value of shares, warrants and debentures issued. The debentures were considered to have a beneficial conversion feature as the fair value allocated to the debentures was less
15
Quadrem International Holdings, Ltd. December 31, 2009
than the fair value on the date of issuance of the Companys common stock into which the debentures are convertible. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was computed to be $1,642. The resulting allocations of the gross proceeds were as follows:
Debentures |
1,132 | |||
Beneficial conversion feature |
1,642 | |||
Common share purchase warrants |
1,466 | |||
Common shares issued for payment of commission |
176 | |||
4,416 | ||||
The Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature as additional paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount of $3,284 resulted in an effective interest rate of 31% and was amortized to expense using the interest method from the date the debt was issued to July 2, 2008, the earliest date the debenture holders could demand payment.
On 2 October 2009, the Company exercised its option and called the debentures, and as a result, on December 31, 2009, the debentures were settled with the issuance of 163,589 ordinary shares.
