Juno Corporation (JC) is a Canadian online streaming service that provides access to a wide variety of movies and TV shows. The company has been in operation for the past five years and currently has a subscriber base of five million customers. JC currently holds approximately 26% of the total online streaming market, as evidenced by their total revenues. JC has been aggressively trying to increase its market share. The company has approached a number of interested investors, who have indicated that revenue growth and net income are the two areas they are most interested in for this space. It is now 20 January 20X7 and you work in JC’s accounting department, reporting directly to the controller. You have been asked to review the most recent financial statement for the year ended 31 December 20X6. JC currently follows ASPE; however, the investors are interested in seeing IFRS-compliant financial statements. Therefore, the controller has asked you to review a number of specific issues, outlined in Exhibit 1, and to discuss the accounting requirements under IFRS. Required: Prepare a memo addressing the major financial accounting issues. Exhibit 1 Additional Accounting Information Table Summary: Summary 1. JC received a government grant by agreeing to have at least 50% Canadian content. The grant is intended to be used to offset some of the costs related to filming and developing of Canadian made films over the next 5 years. The grant was received in August, and included in revenue. 2. In February 20X6, JC started a project relating to a major upgrade of its online streaming platform. In March, the board hired a digital consultant to manage the entire project. JC’s executive management team is very passionate about the new platform, as they believe that it will position the company to be the industry leader in online streaming and gaming. To date, the digital consultants have performed a number of activities, including researching the available technology and surveying market participants. In June 20X6, JC hired 2 dedicated software engineers that have begun the initial programming of the new system. The following costs were capitalized as product development costs: - Digital consultants (March–Dec.): $120,000 - Software engineers’ salaries (June–Dec.): 145,000 - Market and industry surveys: 30,000 - Interest on loan (note 1): 8,000 - Development of platform prototypes: 60,000 - New platform graphic design (paid to consultant): 38,000 - Legal fees and trademark for graphic design: 45,000 Note 1—JC was able to secure special funding from the bank in June that will be used solely for the new platform. The bank has placed a debt to equity covenant on JC, and required annual financial statements. 3. JC owns the office that their head office operates out of. They also own a piece of land adjacent to the office space. An independent appraiser performed a valuation and determined that the land had a fair value of $1,824,000. The land is currently recorded at its cost of $1,370,000 but management would like to understand its options as they believe that the value will continue to increase. 4. As part of its service, JC’s platform also provides access to an online gaming service. The service is hosted by a company called GXPlus. JC’s current subscribers can purchase the service for an additional amount per month. GXPlus charges JC a set price of $8.50 per month per subscriber and requires that JC charge each subscriber $10 per month (to remain consistent with their other current offerings). Other details of the arrangement between GXPlus and JC as follows: - Any technical issues relating to the service are dealt with directly by GXPlus. For example, in January 2021, the service went down for a period of 24 hours due to a hacker attack. GXPlus reached out to all customers directly impacted, and provided them with a $8 system credit that will be used for game purchases. JC was not involved in administering the system credit. - JC bills the customers at the beginning of each month using the credit card on file. The payment is remitted to GXPlus the next day. For customers where there is a declined credit card, the subscription is put on hold until payment is received. JC is responsible for dealing with all billing issues for the customers
