Marketwired Canada
Zedi Inc. (the "Company" or "Zedi") (TSX VENTURE:ZED). Today, Zedi filed amended
financial statements as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2013. While completing a systems conversion for capital asset tracking during Q4
of 2013, the Company discovered an error in the amortization of certain
internally generated intangible assets which had resulted in the
under-amortization of those assets over a number of years. While the impact on
any individual reporting period was not considered significant, the cumulative
impact of $1.49 million as of September 30, 2013 was deemed significant enough
to cause the Company to elect to restate the most recent financial statements as
of that date. Management has conducted a complete review of all capital and
internally generated intangible assets and the historical calculation of
depreciation and amortization to ensure that no further adjustments in this
regard will be necessary.
As the error impacts only amortization and deferred tax amounts which are both
non-cash in nature, there was no impact on EBITDA(1) or cash flow results
previously reported.
The restated Q3 financial statements and MD&A are filed on SEDAR and can be
accessed at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.zedi.ca. Note 14 to
the amended financial statements details the impact of the restatement,
including impact on prior periods and comparative amounts. The impact on the
2013 statement of profit and loss is as follows:
