Computer Modelling Group Ltd.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
1. Reporting Entity:
Computer Modelling Group Ltd. (“CMG”) is a company domiciled in Alberta, Canada and is incorporated pursuant to the Alberta Business Corporations Act, with its common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "CMG". The address of CMG's registered office is 3710 33 Street N.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2L 2M1. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 comprise CMG and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”). The Company is a computer software technology company engaged in the development and licensing of reservoir simulation software. The Company also provides professional services consisting of highly specialized support, consulting, training, and contract research activities.
2. Basis of Preparation:
(a) Statement of Compliance:
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting . Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2021.
(b) Basis of Measurement:
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, which is based on the fair value of the consideration at the time of the transaction.
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency:
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(d) Use of Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, costs and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from such estimates and it is possible that the differences could be material. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.
(e) Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic:
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Responses to the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a partial shutdown of the global economy leading to significant disruption to business operations and a significant increase in economic uncertainty with volatile commodity prices and currency exchange rates. In addition,
5
Q2 2022
Computer Modelling Group Ltd.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
fluctuating demand for crude oil resulting from world economies emerging from and then entering into subsequent COVID-19 waves has resulted in significant volatility in global energy prices. These events are resulting in a challenging economic climate in which it is difficult to reliably estimate the length or severity of these developments and their financial impact. A potential adverse impact to the Company includes reductions in revenues and cash flows and increased risk of non-payment from customers. Estimates made during this period of extreme volatility are subject to a higher level of uncertainty and as a result, there may be a further prospective impact in future periods.
3. Segmented Information:
The Company is organized into one operating segment represented by the development and licensing of reservoir simulation software. The Company provides professional services, consisting of support, training, consulting and contract research activities, to promote the use and development of its software; however, these activities are not evaluated as a separate business segment.
Property, equipment and right-of-use assets of the Company are located in the following geographic regions (for revenue by geographic region, refer to note 6):
| (thousands of $) | September 30, 2021 | March 31, 2021 |

(ii) Share Appreciation Rights Plan
The Company adopted a share appreciation rights plan (“SAR Plan”) in November 2015. A share appreciation right (“SAR”) entitles the holder to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the stated exercise price and the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date the SAR is exercised. SARs are granted to executive officers and employees residing and working outside of Canada. Fifty percent of SARs vest on the first year anniversary from the grant date and then 25% vest on each of the second and third year anniversary dates. SARs have a five-year life.

(iii) Share Unit Plans
Performance Share Units (PSUs) and Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
The Performance Share Unit and Restricted Share Unit Plan (“PSU & RSU Plan”) is open to all employees and contractors of the Company. PSUs cliff-vest at the end of three years, with the vesting multiplier ranging from 0.0 to 2.0 contingent upon achieving certain corporate performance criteria. RSUs vest annually over a three-year period. Upon vesting, PSUs and RSUs can be exchanged for common shares of the Company or surrendered for cash at the option of the holder. As such, the Company accounts for PSUs and RSUs as cash-settled awards and recognizes a liability for potential cash settlements.
The International Employees PSU & RSU Plan includes substantially the same terms, conditions and PSU performance criteria as the PSU & RSU Plan, with the main two exceptions being that (i) it is available only to employees and contractors residing and working outside of Canada and (ii) PSUs and RSUs under this plan can be redeemed for cash only. As such, the Company accounts for PSUs and RSUs issued under the International Employees PSU & RSU Plan as cash-settled awards and recognizes a liability for potential cash settlements.
Deferred Share Units (DSUs)
The DSU Plan was adopted in May 2017 and is limited to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. DSUs vest immediately, but are redeemable for cash only after a director ceases Board membership.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s share unit plans:
