Independent Auditor’s Report

 

 

Board of Directors

Colonial Élégance Inc.

Montréal, Québec



We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Colonial Élégance Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as at April 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.



Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements



Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of 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 financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 from material misstatement.



An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.



We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Colonial Élégance Inc.

Notes to financial statements

April 30, 2020 and 2019

 

1Nature of operations

Colonial Élégance Inc. (“Colonial Élégance” or “the Company”) was incorporated on September 1, 2017, is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. 

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of interior sliding doors including closet doors, barn doors and door hardware. The Company has operations in Montreal, Quebec and services customers across North America.  

2Summary of significant accounting policies

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The Company has not applied any Private Company Council alternatives in the preparation of these financial statements.

Use of estimates

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of income and comprehensive income for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of lower of cost or market for inventories, the useful life of intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the incremental borrowing rate on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities estimated merchandise returns and sales rebates given to customers.

Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, which is also the presentation currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured using end-of-period exchange rates or exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction, and the resulting gains or losses are recognized as a component of operating expenses.

Fair value measurements

The Company follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820-10”) which defines fair value, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. Fair value measurement is based on a hierarchy of observable or unobservable inputs. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Colonial Élégance Inc.

Notes to financial statements

April 30, 2020 and 2019

 

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value measurements (continued)

Level 1    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date;

Level 2    Inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and the fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and

Level 3    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity of the asset and liability and the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions relating to the pricing of the asset or liability, including assumptions regarding risk. This includes certain cash flow pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The carrying values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short time period to maturity or repayment and are considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company believes that the current carrying amount of its long-term debt and lease liability approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments are subject to change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

Revenue recognition

Effective May 1, 2018,  the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), as required by U.S. GAAP. The Company elected to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective method. Results for the reporting period beginning after May 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting. Management has determined that the adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the Company’s previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings.

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the product. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company generates all revenue from contracts with customers. To achieve the core principle of this new standard, the Company applies the following steps:

Colonial Élégance Inc.

Notes to financial statements

April 30, 2020 and 2019

 

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

a)Revenue from the sale of doors

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from selling of doors and related hardware with revenue recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred to the customer. This is generally when the goods are shipped to the customer.

However, for export sales, control might also be transferred when delivered either to the port of departure or to the port of arrival, depending on the specific terms of the contract with the customer. There is limited judgement needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, the Company no longer has physical possession, usually will have a present right to payment (as a single payment on delivery) and retains none of the significant risks and rewards of the goods in question.

b)Determining the transaction price

Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from fixed price contracts and therefore the amount of revenue to be earned from each contract is determined by reference to those fixed prices. Exceptions are as follows:

Some contracts provide customers with a limited right of return. Historical experience enables the Company to estimate reliably the value of goods that will be returned and restrict the amount of revenue that is recognized such that it is highly probable that there will not be a reversal of previously recognized revenue when goods are returned.

Variable consideration relating to volume rebates on the sales of doors has been constrained in estimating contract revenue in order that it is highly probable that there will not be a future reversal in the amount of revenue recognized when the amount of volume rebates has been determined.

Sales and other taxes imposed by governmental authorities that are collected by the Company from customers are excluded from revenue or the transaction price.

c)Allocating amounts to performance obligations

For most contracts, there is a fixed unit price for each product sold, with reductions given for bulk orders placed at a specific time. Therefore, there is no judgement involved in allocating the contract price to each unit ordered in such contracts (it is the total contract price divided by the number of units ordered). Where a customer orders more than one product line, the Company is able to determine the split of the total contract price between each product line by reference to each product’s standalone selling prices (all product lines are capable of being, and are, sold separately).

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

d)Costs of obtaining long-term contracts and costs of fulfilling contracts

Incremental commissions paid to sales staff for work in obtaining design contracts of periods longer than one year are recoded in prepayments and amortized based on the stage of completion of the contract, i.e. in the same pattern as revenue is recognized (see above).

The costs of fulfilling contracts do not result in the recognition of a separate asset because:

such costs are included in the carrying amount of inventory for contracts involving the sale of goods; and

for service contracts, revenue is recognized over time by reference to the stage of completion meaning that control of the asset (the design service) is transferred to the customer on a continuous basis as work is carried out. Consequently, no asset for work in progress is recognized.

To date, there have been no costs incurred related to obtaining or fulfilling contracts and as a result no amounts have been capitalized.

e)Practical exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the practical exemptions:

expense the incremental costs of obtaining a contract when the amortization period of the asset otherwise recognized would have been one year or less; and

the Company arranges freight for some contracts. Shipping and freight expenses are treated as a fulfillment activity and not as a performance obligation.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salaries and benefits for the Company’s sales and marketing personnel. The Company expenses all selling and marketing expenses as incurred and classifies them under selling and marketing expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The Company had no short-term highly liquid investments as at April 30, 2020 and 2019.

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to customers for sale of goods or services with a contractual maturity of one year or less. The Company provides an allowance for estimated doubtful accounts. This allowance is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and an evaluation of existing economic conditions impacting the Companys customers. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 to 60 days after the issuance of the invoice (based on terms). Accounts receivable are considered delinquent after 30 days past the due date. These delinquent receivables are monitored and are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts based on an evaluation of individual circumstances of the customer. Account balances are written off after collection efforts have been made and the potential recovery is considered remote.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.  Cost of finished goods includes  the purchase price, transportation costs and freight and duties. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value based on replacement costs.  A provision for obsolescence is provided on slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Management reviews the provision quarterly to assess whether, based on economic conditions, it is adequate.

Goods in transit are recorded as inventory when the terms specify the risks of ownership are transferred to the Company.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Plant and equipment are depreciated using the declining method over the life of the assets, at the exclusion of leasehold improvements depreciated on a declining balance method. For assets sold or otherwise disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in the income for the period. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company has assigned value to acquired, identifiable assets with definite useful lives. These assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected April 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test.

Intangible assets

The Company has assigned value to acquired, identifiable intangible assets with definite useful lives. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Customer lists

 

7 years

Distribution rights

 

3 years

Software

 

1 year



The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed annually.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including plant and equipment, purchased intangible assets subject to amortization and right-of-use-assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows to the carrying amount. If the Company is unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then the assets are written down to fair value on a pro rata basis. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets.

Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the accompanying balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer amortized. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. No impairment was identified during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

Convertible debentures with variable conversion options

The Company has entered into convertible debentures, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at or around the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible debentures as stock settled debt and measures the fair value of the debentures at the time of issuance.

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes

The Company files Canadian income tax returns and accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain. 

Uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a comprehensive model for the manner in which a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements all material uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740 applies to income taxes and is not intended to be applied by analogy to other taxes, such as sales taxes, value-add taxes, or property taxes. The Company reviews its nexus in various tax jurisdictions and the Company’s tax positions related to all open tax years for events that could change the status of its ASC 740 liability, if any, or require an additional liability to be recorded. Such events may be the resolution of issues raised by a taxing authority, expiration of the statute of limitations for a prior open tax year or new transactions for which a tax position may be deemed to be uncertain. Those positions, for which management’s assessment is that there is more than a 50 percent probability of sustaining the position upon challenge by a taxing authority based upon its technical merits, are subjected to the measurement criteria of ASC 740. The Company records the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. Any ASC 740 liabilities for which the Company expects to make cash payments within the next 12 months are classified as “short term.”

The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, since there are no material unrecognized tax benefits. Management believes no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which has been adopted as of May 1, 2018:

ASU No. 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). This standard, as subsequently amended and clarified by various ASUs, requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets. For income statement purposes, the standard retains a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied under prior lease accounting but without explicit criteria. The standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments and assumptions made by management in applying the standard, intended to provide greater insight into the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

2Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements (continued)

The Company early adopted the standard on May 1, 2018 and applied the transition guidance as of the date of adoption under the current-period adjustment method. As a result, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with its leases on May 1, 2018, which would require a cumulative-effect adjustment (if any) to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. 

The standard includes a number of optional practical expedients under the transition guidance. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which allowed the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also made accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset to not apply the recognition requirements of the standard to leases with terms of 12 months or less and to not separate non-lease components from lease components. Consequently, each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component is accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.

Upon adoption of the standard on May 1, 2018, the Company recognized a lease liability and a right-of-use asset of $2,777,946, with no adjustment to retained earnings.

Future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements

The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which have not been adopted as of April 30, 2020: 

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (as subsequently amended and clarified by various ASUs). This standard introduces an approach of estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for credit losses. The standard also requires the recording of allowances for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount under the other-than temporary impairment model. In addition, the standard requires entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). The Company intends to adopt the standard on May 1, 2020 and does not expect the effect of the adoption to be material to the financial statements.

ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 including exceptions to: (i) the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocations, (ii) accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes if foreign investments, and (iii) exceptions in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The Company intends to adopt the statement effective on May 1, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2019-12 may have on its financial statements.

Future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued)

ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 related to the valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value measurements, uncertainty in measurement, and changes in measurements applied. The Company intends to adopt the standard on May 1, 2020 and does not expect the effect of the adoption to be material to the financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-15, Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software - Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which requires capitalization of implementation costs related to application development activities incurred for hosting arrangements that are service contracts. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages should be expensed as the activities are performed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-15 will have on its financial statements.

7Bank indebtedness and long-term debt (continued)

(c)The Company is required to make an annual additional capital repayment of a maximum of $200,000 CAD based on the Company's surplus cash flow from operations for the previous fiscal year, provided that such repayment does not prevent the Company from complying with the covenants.

This percentage may be reduced to 10% if the Company pays a lump sum of $250,000 CAD to the creditor before September 15, 2020. Subsequent to year-end, both of these payments were made and the remaining debts were converted into common shares.

10Leases

The Company is a lessee under an operating lease for warehousing, sales and, office space, equipment, and vehicles. Many of the Company’s lease agreements include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to three years, and the exercise of such renewal options is generally at the Company’s discretion. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with lease agreements with an initial term of greater than 12 months, while lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Company’s balance sheets. The Company generally does not include lease payments associated with renewal options that are exercisable at its discretion in the measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s lease agreement which had an initial term of greater than 12 months.

To estimate the incremental borrowing rates applicable, the Company considers various factors, including the rates applicable to its recently issued debt and credit facilities and prevailing financial market conditions. The Company used the incremental borrowing rates applicable to it on May 1, 2018 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.

The Company generally recognizes lease costs associated with its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as variable lease costs in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

11Financial risk management

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to the financial instruments with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the assets. The Companys exposure to credit risk consists of accounts receivable balances. Credit exposure on accounts receivable is minimized by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its counterparties financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company maintains provisions for potential credit losses, and any such losses to date have been within managements expectations.

As at year-end, 72% of the accounts receivable were owing from two customers (86% in 2019).

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations with respect to its bank indebtedness and long-term debt which bear interest at variable rates. There was no significant change in exposure from the prior year.

12Subsequent events

(a)On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve throughout the world including Canada. As of the date of this report, the Company did experience a disruption to its operations and its supply chain during a period of time. The Company has obtained new contracts during the global pandemic and continues to collect its receivables from the majority of its customers with few changes to its collection terms.

The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter business operations as may be required by government authorities, or that are determined to be in the best interest of the Company’s employees, customers, suppliers and stakeholders. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict.

(b)Subsequent to year-end, the Company signed a software agreement for total consideration of $982,739 to be paid between May 2020 and May 2025. The Company also entered into a rental agreement for an operating lease, with a lease term ending July 2021, for total cumulative consideration of $339,940.

(c)In October 2020, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Renin Holdings LLC (“Renin”), an unrelated third party and wholly-owned subsidiary of a US listed entity. As a result of this transaction and in order to comply with the SEC filing requirements of the listed entity, the Company has adopted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.
