CGI Group Inc.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(tabular amounts only are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share
data)(unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year
ended September 30, 2001.
On October 1, 2001, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook sections 1581, Business
Combinaisons, and 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the revised
section 1581, all business combinations are accounted for using the purchase
method. Additionally, under the revised section 3062, goodwill and intangible
assets with an indefinite life will no longer be amortized to earnings and will
be assessed for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with the new
standards, including a transitional impairment test whereby any resulting
impairment will be charged to opening retained earnings. In fiscal 2002, the
effect of the non-amortization of goodwill will result in an increase in the
consolidated net earnings of approximately $28,800,000. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the transitional impairment test, and therefore has not
yet assessed its effect on the Company's future consolidated net earnings and
financial position.
On October 1, 2001, the Company reclassified its UK subsidiary company from
integrated foreign operations to self-sustained foreign operations as a result
of changes in the economic facts and cirumstances. Consequently, this subsidiary
was accounted for using the current-rate method, which change was applied
prospectively.
Note 2 - Capital Stock and Warrants
Capital Stock
Class A subordinate shares carrying one vote per share, participating equally
with Class B shares with respect to the payment of dividends and convertible
into Class B shares under certain conditions in the event of certain takeover
bids on Class B shares.
Class B shares, carrying ten votes per share, participating equally with Class A
subordinate shares with respect to the payment of dividends and convertible at
any time at the option of the holder into Class A subordinate shares.
Options
Under a stock option plan for certain employees and directors of the Company and
its subsidiaries, the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, options
to purchase company stock to certain employees and directors of the Company and
of its subsidiaries. The exercise price is established by the Board of Directors
but may not be lower than the average closing price for Class A subordinate
shares over the five business days preceeding the date of grant. Each option
must be exercised within a ten-year period, except in the event of retirement,
termination of employment or death.
Warrants
In connection with the signing of strategic outsourcing contract and of a
business acquisition, the Company granted warrants entitling the holders to
subscribe to up to 5,118,210 Class A subordinate shares. The exercise prices
were determined using the average closing price for Class A subordinate shares
at a date and for a number of days around the respective transaction dates. The
warrants vest upon signature of the contracts or date of business acquisition
and have an exercise period of five years. As at September 30, 2001, there were
5,118,210 warrants issued and outstanding, 4,000,000 of which are exercisable at
a price of $6.55 per share and expire April 30, 2006 and remaining 1,118,210 are
exercisable at a price of $8.88 per share expiring June 13, 2006. The fair
values of the warrants were estimated at their respective grant dates at
$19,655,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions : risk-free interest rate of 4.9%, dividend yield of 0.0%, expected
volatility of 57.7% and expected life of 5 years.
In addition to the warrants to purchase up to 5,118,210 Class A Shares referred
to above and issued in connection with the signing of a strategic outsourcing
contract and of a business acquisition the "Initial Warrants", CGI issued to the
Majority Shareholders and BCE warrants (the "Pre-emptive Rights Warrants") to
subscribe in the aggregate up to 3,865,014 Class A Shares and 697,044 Class B
Shares pursuant to the exercise of their pre-emptive rights contained in the
articles of incorporation of CGI, with substantially similar terms and
conditions as those of the Initial Warrants. The Pre-emptive Rights Warrants may
be exercised by BCE and the Majority Shareholders only to the extent that the
holders of the Initial Warrants exercise such Initial Warrants.
Furthermore, subject to regulatory approval, the Company has undertaken in
favour of a holder of Initial Warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 Class A
Shares to issue promptly after April 30, 2006 (the "Expiration Date") replacing
warrants (the "Extended Warrants") to purchase Class A Shares equal to the
number of Class A Shares not purchased by such holder under terms of the Initial
Warrants on the Expiration Date. The Extended Warrants will have substantially
similar terms and conditions as those of the Initial Warrants, except for the
exercise price which will be based upon the closing price of the Class A Shares
on the TSE on the date preceding the issuance of the Extended Warrants.
