Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants

To the Shareholders of CIBT Education Group Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CIBT Education Group Inc. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at August 31, 2011, and August 31, 2010, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), accumulated other comprehensive loss, deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 2011 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company   as at August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 2011 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

CIBT EDUCATION GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2011
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

CIBT Education Group Inc. (the “Company”) is an educational management organization headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s current business operations include education and media communications. The Company currently has four principal business units/segments, being CIBT School of Business & Technology Corp. (“CIBT”), Sprott-Shaw Degree College Corp. (“SSDC”), KGIC Language College Corp. (“KGIC”) (refer to Note 3(a)), and IRIX Design Group Inc. (“IRIX”). The Company’s education business is conducted through CIBT and its subsidiaries in Asia, and through SSDC and KGIC in Canada. The Company operates its media communications business through IRIX and its subsidiaries. IRIX is based in Canada with representatives in Hong Kong and the United States.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation
These financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the allowance for bad debts, valuation of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for amortization of assets and liabilities including intangible assets, and determination of fair value for equity-based transactions. Financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Foreign currency translation
The CIBT subsidiaries in China maintain their accounting records in Chinese RMB. The functional currency of the parent company and other entities in Canada is the Canadian dollar and the Company’s reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company’s self-sustaining foreign operations are translated using the current rate method. Under this method, foreign denominated assets and liabilities are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates that prevailed at the balance sheet date; revenues and expense items are translated at the rates which approximate those in effect on the date of the transactions; and the resulting gains and losses from translation are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss). An appropriate portion of the exchange gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) will be included in the determination of operating results for the period when there is a reduction in the net investment in the self sustaining operation.

The Company follows the temporal method of accounting for the translation of foreign currency transactions into Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses recognized on foreign currency transactions and the translation of foreign currency balances at the balance sheet date are included in the determination of income (loss) for the period.

Cash equivalents
The Company considers only those investments that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents Canadian dollar deposits in bank as collateral for the credit cards used in business operations.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Marketable securities
Marketable securities consist of common shares of NextMart Inc. (previously Sun New Media Inc.) (“NextMart”), whose common shares are traded in the public equity markets. For all periods presented, the Company’s interest in NextMart does not represent a position of control or significant influence. This is classified as available for sale investment.

Inventory
Inventories, which primarily consists of printed books and other education materials, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined on a weighted average basis.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:
 
  
Leasehold improvements – straight-line over the lesser of five years and remaining lease term;
  
Furniture and equipment – 20% declining balance;
  
Computer equipment – 20% - 30% declining balance.

The carrying value of property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever changes in events or circumstances indicate the recoverable value may be less than the carrying amount. Determination of whether impairment of property and equipment has occurred is based on undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be recovered from specific assets or groups of assets through use or future disposition. Impairment charges, when indicated, are charged to operations in the reporting period in which determination of impairment is made by management. The impairment charge is calculated by the excess of the carrying value over its fair value, with fair value being determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The recognized impairment loss of $128,526 (2010:  $Nil; 2009:  $Nil) on property and equipment on August 31, 2011 in Note 7.

Curriculum development costs
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in developing programs and curriculums for new courses as intangible assets with finite life. These costs are amortized to direct educational cost on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the course (ranging from three months to 48 months) upon commencement of the new courses. Costs relating to the ongoing development and maintenance of existing courses are expensed as incurred.

Deferred offering costs
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in connection with proposed private debt financings and public equity market financings. Offering costs in connection with private debt financings are offset against the proceeds of the financing and amortized using the effective interest method. Offering costs in connection with public equity market financings are offset against the proceeds of the financing and share capital is recorded net of offering costs. Previously capitalized amounts are charged to operations if the financing is not completed.

Intangible assets
The Company’s finite life and indefinite life intangible assets are recorded at their cost which, for intangible assets acquired in business combinations, represents the acquisition date fair value.

Indefinite life intangible assets, which include accreditations, brand and trade names, and Chinese university partnership contracts are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually or when indicated by changes in events or circumstances. An impairment of an indefinite life intangible asset is recorded when, and to the extent that, the carrying value of an indefinite life intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the related indefinite life intangible asset with fair values of the indefinite life intangible assets being determined pursuant to generally accepted valuation methodologies.

Finite life intangible assets, which include curriculum access contracts, internally developed curriculum, and foreign university cooperating agreements are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairments. Amortization is calculated over periods ranging from one to fifteen years on a straight-line basis, being their estimated useful lives. Finite life intangible assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through future undiscounted net cash flows from the use or disposal of the related finite life intangible asset.

The Company recognized an impairment loss of $2,287,905 (2010:  $2,000,000; 2009:  $Nil) on other indefinite life intangible assets for the years ended August 31, 2011 in Note 8.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Goodwill
Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated to the identifiable assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, based on their fair values. Goodwill is allocated as of the date of the business combination to the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. When the net of the amounts assigned to identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of the purchase (“negative goodwill”), the excess is eliminated, to the extent possible, by a pro-rata allocation to certain non-current assets, with the balance presented as an extraordinary gain. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill.

The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow. The Company performs the annual impairment tests on August 31 of each year. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $3,481,347 (2010:  Nil; 2009:  Nil) on goodwill for the years ended August 31, 2011 in Note 9.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:

(a) 
Educational programs and services
 
The educational programs and services consist of tuition fee (net of discounts) on course offerings by CIBT, SSDC and KGIC. Tuition is generally paid in advance and is initially recorded as deferred revenue. Tuition revenue for educational programs and services is recognized proportionately as the instructions are delivered, and is reported net of scholarships, business taxes and related surcharges, and tuition refunds. Students are entitled to a short term course trial period which commences on the date the course begins. Tuition refunds are provided to students if they decide within the trial period that they no longer want to take the course. Tuition refunds have been insignificant in fiscal years. After the trial period, if a student withdraws from a class, usually no refunds will be provided and any collected but unearned portion of the fee is recognized at that time.

(b) 
Revenue sharing arrangement with education service providers
 
One of the Company’s subsidiaries, CIBT, has entered into numerous educational delivery agreements with various educational service providers whereby a portion of the tuition fees, net of discounts, are paid to these educational service providers for the provision of facilities and/or teaching staff. For the majority of these revenue sharing arrangements, CIBT is considered the primary obligor and accordingly records the tuition fee revenues on a gross basis and the portion paid to the educational service providers is included in direct educational costs.

Stock-based compensation
The Company grants stock options to certain directors and employees to acquire shares in the common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plan. When stock options are issued, the Company records the estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation awards as an expense over the requisite service period with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. Fair values have been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Agency fees
For language programs in KGIC and SSDC, the Company engages a network of agents in foreign countries, who recruit international students to attend the Company’s programs in Canada. The Company expenses agency costs as incurred, while tuition revenues are recognized over the instruction period. Such expenses are classified as part of the General and Administrative expenses (Note 21).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In the case of unused tax losses, income tax reductions, and certain items that have a tax basis but cannot be identified with an asset or liability on the balance sheet, the recognition of future income tax assets is determined by reference to the more likely than not realization of future income tax reductions.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share figures have been calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted monthly average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. The Company follows the treasury stock method for determining diluted earnings per share. This method assumes that proceeds received from in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average prevailing market rate during the reporting period. Anti-dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants are not considered in computing diluted earnings per share. The treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes both net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, and foreign currency gains and losses relating to translation of self-sustaining foreign operations.

Financial Instruments
The following is a summary of the classes of financial instruments included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as well as their designation by the Company:

Changes in fair value for held-for-trading financial instruments are recognized in net income (loss) for the period. Changes in fair value that remain unrealized for available-for-sale financial instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income until realized or determined to be impaired at which time the gain, loss or impairment is recognized in net income (loss) for the period.

The Company accounts for transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or financial liability as follows:
 
  
For financial assets or liabilities classified as held for trading, all transaction costs are immediately charged to operations.
  
For all other financial assets or liabilities, all transactions costs are added to the carrying amount on initial classification.

Subsequently, amounts are subject to either effective interest amortization or fair market value adjustments.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Financial Instruments (cont’d)
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts, and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing the fair value of a particular contract, the market participant would consider the credit risk of the counterparty to the contract.

Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests exist in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries and divisions of the Company and represent the outside interests’ share in the carrying values and operations of the subsidiaries and divisions. As of August 31, 2011 and 2010, the non-controlling interests were as follows:

Subsidiary / division
 
Non-controlling
interest %
 
       
Beihai College
    40.00 %
Sprott-Shaw Degree College Corp. – Surrey Campus
    33.33 %
Irix Design Group Inc.
    49.00 %
         

Future accounting standards
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 as the date that International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) will replace Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises, with a transition date one year earlier. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company will issue its first IFRS annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012, with restatement of comparative balance sheets as at August 31, 2011 and September 1, 2011 and statement of (loss) income for the year ended August 31, 2011. During the year ending August 31, 2012, the Company will issue interim consolidated IFRS financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting for the periods ending November 30, 2011, February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2012, with restatement of comparative balance sheets as at December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and statements of (loss) income for the comparative periods presented.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

 
a)     KGIC Language College Corp.

On March 15, 2010, the Company, through its newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary KGIC Language College Corp. (“KGIC”), completed the acquisition of KGIC Education Group Inc. The Company acquired, through KGIC (a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), the primary assets and liabilities used in the operation of the KGIC group of schools (the “KGIC Assets”). The KGIC Assets will enable the Company to continue to operate the newly acquired business (the “KGIC Business”) which consists of English language training schools. KGIC’s existing management team will continue to operate KGIC under an executive management contract. KGIC operates private English language training schools and business colleges in Canada, with seven campuses in Canada, as well as training centres and branch offices in China, Brazil, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Mexico.

As consideration, the final purchase price of $3,817,497 was paid by the Company to the selling parties during the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2011. In addition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $279,062.

The Company has agreed to pay a maximum of $3,917,810 of further consideration which will be paid and recognized upon the achievement of the following net revenue and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) milestones by the KGIC Business:

b)     Asia Interactive Media Inc.

On February 9, 2007, the Company loaned to Asia Interactive Media Inc. (“AIMI”), a US reporting company, US$150,000 in exchange for an 8% convertible promissory note due February 9, 2009. At any time before February 9, 2009, the Company had the right to convert all or a portion of the loan principal amount of the promissory note into common shares of AIMI at a conversion price of US$0.01 per share. As at February 9, 2007, AIMI had 5,000,000 common shares outstanding and the Company’s loan can be converted into 15,000,000 common shares of AIMI, representing a then 75% interest. On September 29, 2008, AIMI repaid the US$150,000 loan plus accrued interest of US$19,233 to the Company. In addition, members of the Company’s management team and Board of Directors resigned from AIMI’s Board of Directors on September 29, 2008. Accordingly, effective September 29, 2008, the Company ceased to consolidate AIMI.

During the year ended August 31, 2010, SSDC EBITDA exceeded the milestone thresholds in the original purchase agreement resulting in an additional purchase price payable of $386,333 which has been accrued and recorded as an accrued liability as at August 31, 2010, resulting in a corresponding increase in the original amount of goodwill attributed to the business combination. Subsequent to August 31, 2010, SSDC is not subject to any future performance contingency.

d)     Concordia Career College / Modus International Language Institute

On September 4, 2008, the Company acquired the primary assets and liabilities used in the operation of Concordia Career College and Modus International Language Institute (collectively “Concordia Group” and the “Concordia Group Assets”). The operations of the Concordia Group have been integrated with SSDC’s operations in Canada. As consideration the Company agreed to pay a maximum of $150,000 to the vendors within 18 months after the close of the transaction if certain gross revenue and net profit targets were met by the Concordia Group within the 18 month period ending March 4, 2010.

During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company came to an agreement with the vendors and paid a total of $60,000 of purchase consideration resulting in a corresponding increase in goodwill.

During the year ended August 31, 2011, the Company recorded amortization of intangible assets totalling $467,178 (2010:  $406,022; 2009:  $560,542).  As at August 31, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge totalling $2,000,000 to the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization as a result of declining revenues and income stemming from the Company’s business operations in Beijing, China. The Company determined the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets based on a discounted net cash flow analysis. The $2,000,000 impairment charge affected the carrying amount of the intangibles relating to the BJUT agreement, which forms part of the Chinese university agreements and contracts asset category under intangible assets not subject to amortization.

NOTE 10 – DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

 
In connection with the Company’s planned financing by way of a registered offering of common shares, the Company filed a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2010. Direct costs totalling $600,252 were incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the prospectus. On September 20, 2010, as a result of market conditions at the time, the Company withdrew the prospectus.

Due to further delays with the planned financing during the year ended August 31, 2011, the Company expensed $510,711 of the deferred offering costs, leaving a nil balance as at August 31, 2011. Deferred offering costs consisted of the following:

On October 27, 2009, the Company negotiated a non-brokered private placement to raise $3,000,000 by the issuance of common shares of the Company at a price of $0.70 per share.

The Company has in place a rolling stock option plan (the “Plan”) whereby a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, from time to time, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options. The material terms of the Plan are as follows:
 
  
The term of any options granted under the Plan is fixed by the board of directors at the time the options are granted, to a maximum term of five years.
  
The exercise price of any options granted under the Plan is determined by the board of directors, but shall not be less than the last closing price on the TSX Exchange of the Company’s common shares preceding the grant of such options, less any permitted discount.
  
Unless otherwise imposed by the board of directors, no vesting requirement applies to options granted under the Plan but a four month hold period, commencing from the date of grant of an option, applies to all shares issued upon exercise of an option.
  
All options granted under the Plan are non-assignable and non-transferable.
  
If an option holder ceases to hold a position with the Company in which the option holder would be eligible to be granted an option (other than by reason of death), then the option granted shall expire on the 30 th day following the date that the option holder ceases to hold any such position.

NOTE 14 – TREASURY SHARES

 
In accordance with TSX Exchange approval and the provisions of a normal course issuer bid, the Company from time to time acquires its own common shares into treasury. By agreement dated October 1, 2009, effective October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 respectively, the Company sold 592,104 and 197,368 treasury shares acquired through   the provisions of the Company’s normal course issuer bid to the CEO of the Company at $0.38 per share (October 1, 2009 market price) in consideration for the settlement of a total of $300,000 owing to the CEO. These treasury shares had an average cost to the Company of approximately $1.37 per share as acquire via various purchases through 2008 and 2009. The excess of the cost of these treasury shares over the proceeds received was $781,375 of which $501,267 was charged to contributed surplus on elimination of previously recorded treasury share transaction gains and the residual $280,108 was charged to deficit during the year ended August 31, 2010.

On February 1, 2011, the Company received approval from the TSX to a normal course issuer bid to purchase for re-sale up to 3,000,000 of the Company’s common shares to a maximum aggregate acquisition cost of $1,000,000. The Company may purchase up to 6,706 common shares per day from February 4, 2011 to February 3, 2012, being the expiry date of the normal course issuer bid. The Company may terminate the normal course issuer bid at any time prior to February 3, 2012 by providing a notice of termination to the TSX. As at August 31, 2011, 2,500,024 common shares with an accumulated cost of $3,304,055 have been recorded as treasury shares held.

NOTE 15 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is based on quoted prices in an active market, a Level 1 valuation methodology. The fair value of long term debt approximates book value since the interest rate is based on a floating rate. It is impractical to determine the fair value of the amounts due to related parties with sufficient reliability due to the nature of the financial instruments, the absence of secondary markets and the significant cost of obtaining outside appraisals. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company’s cash is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Company’s marketable securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable securities is calculated as the quoted market price multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

NOTE 16 – RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION COSTS

The acquisition of the KGIC Assets and the KGIC Business required considerable management time to restructure KGIC’s existing operational structure in order to integrate the KGIC operations into the Company’s operating structure.

From March 16, 2010 to August 31, 2010, a total of $544,500 in costs were incurred and has been classified as restructuring and integration costs in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 19 – RISK MANAGEMENT

 
The Company is engaged in operations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and accordingly is exposed to political and economic risks associated with investing in the PRC as well as related industry risks. The Company manages all risk issues directly. The Company is engaged primarily in service related industries and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company generates revenues from multiple sources and from a broad customer/client base and accordingly is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

The Company conducts business in Canada, the United States, China and Hong Kong giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments or other measures to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. In addition, the Company is exposed to Chinese currency fluctuations and restrictions on Chinese currency exchange, which may affect the Company’s ability to repatriate profits from China.

Exchange rate risk
The Company operates in Canada and China, and through its subsidiaries in China the Company generates revenues in Chinese RMB and incurs operating costs which are payable in Chinese RMB, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company also holds minor amount of cash in US dollars, the exchange rate fluctuation between Canadian dollar and US dollar will not have a material impact on net income.

Credit risk
The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash is on deposit at major financial institutions. Management is of the opinion that credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the ongoing evaluations of its debts and the monitoring of their financial condition to ensure collections and to minimize losses. Accounts receivable as at August 31, 2011 is reported net of allowance for bad debts of $914,358 (August 31, 2010:   $451,691). The carrying amount of the assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.

Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents which earn interest at market rates, and is exposed to interest rate risk on its demand term instalment loan. A one point increase in the prime rate of interest would add approximately $30,000 of interest cost per annum to the demand term instalment loan.

Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to liquidity risk in that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its operating requirements and using its demand operating credit facility of $1,500,000 (refer to Note 12) to ensure financial resources are available. The Company could look to capital financing which has it successfully raised in the past. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be available on favourable terms. Management prepares budgets and cash forecasts to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to fulfill its financial obligations.

NOTE 20 – CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

 
The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and to ensure sufficient liquidity to conduct its strategy of organic growth in conjunction with strategic acquisitions, and to utilize capital to provide an appropriate return on investment to its shareholders. The Company’s overall capital strategy remains unchanged from the prior periods.

The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity and long-term debt. The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company monitors its capital using various financial ratios and non-financial performance indicators. The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company must comply, and is currently in compliance, with certain financial ratio requirements in connection with the long-term debt (refer to Note 12).

The Company reported a net loss of $10,091,064 and generated negative cash flow used in operating activities. The Company had a net working capital deficit of $4,601,899. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Although the Company has completed private placements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. However, the Company holds sufficient cash to support its operations in the next 12 months.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise capital, the generation of positive cash flow, and the performance of the various educational programs that they offer and the success of the development for new programs. There is no certainty that  such  events  will  occur  and  that  sources  of  financing  will  be  obtained  on  terms  acceptable  to management. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows is also uncertain. The  accompanying  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Beihai College is a PRC government approved college which has been in operation since 2002. In consideration for retaining a 40% interest in Beihai College, Weifang has transferred finite life intangible assets consisting of its existing programs and student enrolments to the newly named CIBT Beihai International Management School and has also agreed to provide exclusive use of the Beihai College facilities at no cost for a period of seven years (subsequently amended to 15 years). Effective July 1, 2007, the Chinese Government implemented a new cash management policy affecting Beihai College. The tuition fees of Beihai College are required to be directly remitted to the local Chinese Government when tuition fees are received, and the funds are held by the Chinese Government under the account of Weifang. Beihai College can receive funds for its operations from Weifang on an as-needed basis up to the amount of the tuition fees collected.

These amounts are non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company identified and accrued for certain tax filing positions in China that were reflected in income taxes payable in the consolidated financial statements. Under US GAAP, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The following additional disclosures represent changes from the most recent annual financial statements and are required under US GAAP.

(c)      Acquisition

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for the acquisition-related costs as part of the total purchase price of the acquisition. Under US GAAP, upon the adoption of ASC 805 on September 1, 2009, the Company accounts for the acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

The acquired curriculum and software have a weighted average amortization period of 10 and 3 years, respectively. The goodwill acquired in the acquisition consists of synergies expected to be achieved through vertical integration and cost reductions. As part of the acquisition the Company acquired accreditations and registrations that are deemed to have an indefinite life, as disclosed in Note 3. Certain accreditations acquired are assessed and renewed every 3-5 years.

Also upon the adoption of ASC 805, an asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement will be recognized at its acquisition date fair value. The contingent consideration arrangement between the Company and KGIC is disclosed in Note 3. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be not significant and was determined based on the present value of estimated future payments. The estimate of future payments was determined based on management’s expectations for net revenue and EBITDA from KGIC over the contingent consideration period.

US GAAP requires the disclosure of certain pro forma information when one or more business combinations are completed. The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations for informational purposes, assuming that the Company had acquired KGIC at the beginning of the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.

(d)      Non-Controlling Interest

Effective September 1, 2010, the Company has adopted the amendments to FASB ASC 810, “Non-controlling Interest in a Subsidiary”. This topic requires that non-controlling interests be presented in the equity section, but separate from the Company’s equity. ASC 810 also requires that a reconciliation at the beginning and end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity, equity attributable to the parent, and equity attributable to non-controlling interest be presented. In addition, the Company also reclassified, in its Statement of Cash Flow, prior-period payments related to changes in its ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary from investing to financing activities as required by ASC 810.

(e)      Accounting for Share Purchase Warrants

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for unit private placement issuances containing both common shares and share purchase warrants using the residual method whereby the Company records the net proceeds received into common shares with no amount allocated to contributed surplus. The effect if any, of reconciling potential differences in accounting for unit private placement issuances between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP has not been included in this reconciliation as it would have no impact on reported total assets, total liabilities, net shareholders’ equity, net income (loss) or cash flows for any period presented. Under the FASB ASC 505, “Equity”, the Company would be required to apportion the unit private placement proceeds on a relative fair value basis between the common shares and warrants issued. Please refer to Note 13 for share purchase warrant activity and the details of the warrants outstanding and exercisable as at August 31, 2011.

(f)      Earnings Per Common Share (cont’d)

For the years ended August 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 2,865,000, 3,627,105, and 4,215,956 options, respectively, are not included in the determination of diluted EPS. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $0.91, $1.28 and $1.18, respectively; and a weighted average remaining life of 2.49, 1.16 and 1.89 years, respectively. These securities could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future; however .they were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti dilutive for the periods presented.

For the years ended August 31, 2011, 31, 2010, and 2009 2,756,833, 207,561, and 5,211,919 warrants respectively were not included in the determination of diluted EPS. These warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.35, $0.70, and $1.43 respectively; and a weighted average remaining life of 2.84, 0.18, and 0.38 respectively. These securities could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future; however, they were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti dilutive for the periods presented.

There are no transactions occurring after August 31, 2011 that would have changed the number of common shares or potential common shares outstanding if the transaction had occurred before the end of the period.

(g)      Stock-Based Compensation

Additional disclosure requirements under US GAAP, ASC 718 - The Company estimated a nil forfeiture rate by considering the historical employee turnover rates and expectations about the future, and will subsequently adjust compensation cost for differences between expectations and actual experience.

There is no income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements as stock based compensation is not deductible for Canadian tax purposes.

(g)      Stock-Based Compensation (cont’d)

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions noted in Note 12 and as follows. Volatility is determined using the average weekly trading prices for periods prior to measurement approximating the estimated life of the option. Expected dividends are estimated to be zero based on historical experience and expectations of future dividends to be paid. The life of an option is estimated to equal the term of the option. Finally, the risk free rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the Bank of Canada bond yield rate as this most closely approximates the Company’s risk free rate of borrowing.

(i)      Cash and cash equivalents

The Company’s subsidiary in China is subject to certain currency transfer restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. Under the existing Chinese foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distribution, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required when Chinese RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.

(j)      Advertising expense

Costs incurred for advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended August 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was approximately $3,065,494, $3,161,796 and $3,050,835, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of (loss) income.

(k)      Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-30, “General Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill”. In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350-30 removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. ASC 350-30 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. ASC 350-30 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted ASC 350-30 on September 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(l)      Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)

In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. ASC 470-20 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in periods subsequent to adoption. Upon adoption of ASC 470-20, the Company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in-capital. The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method. The provisions of ASC 470-20 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon adoption and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company currently does not have any convertible debt instruments and, accordingly, the adoption of ASC 470-20 on September 1, 2009 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting standards related to its accounting standards codification of the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The new standard is the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All accounting literature that is not in the Codification, not issued by the SEC and not otherwise grandfathered is non-authoritative. The new standard became effective for the Company on September 1, 2009. Applying the guidance in the accounting standards codification did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, which amends the guidance on fair value to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Applying the guidance did have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades”. ASU No. 2010-13 clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The provision of ASU No. 2010-13 is effective on January 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2010-13 is did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28 related to goodwill and intangible assets. Under current guidance, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed, an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The objective of ASU No 2010-28 is to address circumstances in which entities have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The amendments in this guidance modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to require an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists after considering certain qualitative characteristics, as described in this guidance. This guidance became effective for the Company in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The implementation of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Also, in December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29 related to financial statement disclosures for business combinations entered into after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this guidance specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. These amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under current guidance for business combinations to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has implemented this standard, as applicable, to the related business combination disclosures.

(m)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . ASU No. 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 will become effective for us on January 1, 2012 and are to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and we do not expect to materially modify or expand our financial statement footnote disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income . ASU No. 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. The presentation requirements will become effective for us on January 1, 2012. As ASU No. 2011-05 applies to financial statement presentation matters, the adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 will not affect our consolidated financial statements and we believe our current presentation of comprehensive income complies with the new presentation requirements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which is intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2011-08 for the purposes of performing its annual goodwill impairment test for its fiscal year ended January 1, 2012. The Company’s measurement date for the annual goodwill test is as of the first day of its fourth fiscal quarter. The implementation of this accounting standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company will transition to IFRS on September 1, 2011 and will no longer be required to prepare a reconciliation to US AAP. Accordingly, the Company has not assessed the impact of adopting future US GAAP accounting pronouncements with an application date of September 1, 2011 or beyond in its financial statements and disclosures.
