Dear Shareholders,
This past year the true power of our operating model was revealed as we
delivered solid operational results and executed on our growth initiatives.
Specifically, our overall revenues grew 15% to $70.1 million. More importantly,
our annual subscription revenue has grown by 28% to $51.1 million. This resulted
in a solid adjusted annual EBITDA of $16.1 million or 23% of revenue. This
ongoing performance demonstrates the strength of our software as a service
operating model, and our ability to continue to drive growth in our business.
Our financial position also remains very strong,
due in part to our very successful initial public
offering that we completed this past June. At year-
end, Kinaxis had no debt and cash and equivalents
totaled $56.7 million.
In terms of the business, we are focused on
maintaining our growth trajectory and expect to
see continued expansion as we execute on our
multi-pronged growth strategy. Our primary growth
vectors continue to be creating new RapidResponse
applications, expanding our partner network, and
entering new vertical markets.
Supply chains often represent the core operational
elements of a company. Our SaaS offerings enable
companies to operate more efficient supply chains.
We provide our customers with the ability to
rapidly respond to changes in their businesses. Our
RapidResponse applications enable companies to
detect changes in their global supply chains, and
perform real time “what if” analysis to make the
proper course corrections. As our tag line says we
help companies “know sooner” and “act faster”.
We have skillfully invested in RapidResponse,
adding features and functionality that have made our
proprietary software offerings more attractive to a
growing list of global organizations. These companies
operate highly volatile or complex supply chains in
very dynamic market conditions.
Through the support of a growing list of Partners,
we can leverage their established relationships to
efficiently gain access to an even broader group of
potential customers. We are forming relationships
with multiple categories of partners such as System
Integrators, Strategic Consultants, and Managed
Service Providers.
We are optimistic about 2015 due to our unique
technology, world-class customer base, strong balance
sheet, and SaaS business model. We are confident
we can continue to grow annual subscription revenue
in excess of 25%—while simultaneously achieving
Adjusted EBITDA in excess of 20% of total revenue.
This rare combination makes Kinaxis a “best in class”
SaaS vendor.
On behalf of the entire Kinaxis team, I want to thank
you for your ongoing support of Kinaxis. We look
forward to updating you on our progress throughout
the year.
Sincerely,
Doug Colbeth
President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board

“MD&A”) to “Kinaxis”, “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” refer to Kinaxis Inc. and its subsidiaries as
constituted on December 31, 2014. This MD&A has been prepared with an effective date of February 24, 2015.
This MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our annual

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(“IASB”). This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including statements regarding anticipated developments in future financial periods and our future plans and
objectives. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, and readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

measures under IFRS. Our definition of Adjusted profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share
will likely differ from that used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Adjusted profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be considered a
substitute for or in isolation from measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures should be
read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31,

with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. See the reconciliations to these IFRS measures in the “Results of
Operations” section of this MD&A.

statements. Forward-looking statements are intended to assist readers in understanding managements’ expectations
as of the date of this MD&A and may not be suitable for other purposes. We have based these forward-looking

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISManagement's Discussion and Analysis
Overview
We are a leading provider of cloud-based subscription software that enables our customers to improve and
accelerate analysis and decision-making across their supply chain operations. Our RapidResponse product provides
supply chain planning and analytics capabilities that create the foundation for managing multiple, interconnected
supply chain management processes, including demand planning, supply planning, inventory management, order
fulfillment and capacity planning. Our professional services team supports deployment of RapidResponse in new
customers and assists existing customers in fully leveraging the benefits of the product.
Our target market is large enterprises that have significant unresolved supply chain challenges. We believe this
market is growing as a result of a number of factors, including increased complexity and globalization of supply
chains, outsourcing, a diversity of data sources and systems, and competitive pressures on our customers.
We have established a strong track record of cash flow generation and revenue and earnings growth. Our
subscription and total annual revenues have grown respectively at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%
and 23% for the three years ending December 31, 2014. This growth is driven both by contracts with new customers
and expansion of our solution and service engagements within our existing customer base.
Our customers are generally large national or multinational enterprises with complex supply chain
requirements. We target multiple industry verticals including high technology and electronics manufacturing,
aerospace and defense, industrial products, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, consumer packaged goods, and most
recently, the automotive sector.
We sell our product using a subscription-based model. Our agreements with customers are typically two to five
years in length. Our subscription fee generally depends on the size of our customer, the number of applications
deployed, the number of users and the number of manufacturing, distribution and inventory sites our product is
required to model. Average annual contract value fluctuates from period to period depending on the size of new
customers and the extent to which we are successful in expanding adoption of our products by existing customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 37% of our total
revenues with no one customer accounting for greater than 10% of total revenues.
Increasing revenues through new customer wins is one of our highest organizational priorities. Our sales cycle
can be lengthy, as we generally target very large organizations with significant internal processes for adoption of
new systems. We currently pursue a revenue growth model that includes both direct sales through our internal sales
force, as well as indirect sales through channels including resellers and other partners.
Due to the growth in the market and increasing need for solutions, competition in the industry from new
entrants and larger incumbent vendors will increase. In addition to this increased competitive pressure, changes in
the global economy may have an impact on the timing and ability of these enterprises to make buying decisions
which can have an impact on our performance.
Since our initial public offering in June, we continue to drive growth in our business through new customer
acquisition and expansion of existing customers through our land and expand philosophy. Historically,
approximately 40% of subscription revenue growth comes from our existing customer base and our net revenue
retention is greater than 100 percent. We continue to invest in developing our partner capabilities and in our
technology. In November of 2014, we released version 2014.4 of RapidResponse reflecting our ongoing investment
in our product’s scale and capabilities to support the needs of our expanding customer base.
We are headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. We have subsidiaries located in the United States, the Netherlands
and Hong Kong and a subsidiary and satellite office in Tokyo, Japan. We continue to expand our operations
internationally. In the year ended December 31, 2014, 89% of our revenues derived from North America and our
remaining revenues derived from outside North America, principally from Japan and Europe.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Key Performance Indicators
The key performance indicators that we use to manage our business and evaluate our financial results and
operating performance are: total revenue, total new customers, incremental subscription revenue and bookings, net
revenue retention, secured subscription backlog, operating expenses, Adjusted profit, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined
below), Adjusted diluted earnings per share and cash flow from operations. Some of these measures are non-IFRS
measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures” above. Management reconciles non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures where a
comparable IFRS measure exists. See “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” below. We evaluate our performance
by comparing our actual results to budgets, forecasts and prior period results.
Net revenue retention
Our subscription customers generally enter into two to five year agreements, paid annually in advance, for use
of our solution. In certain circumstances, customers will prepay subscription fees for the term of the agreement for
various reasons such as accommodating their own budget cycles. Subscription agreements are subject to price
increases upon renewal reflecting both inflationary increases and the additional value provided by our solutions. In
addition to the expected increase in subscription revenue from price increases over time, existing customers may
subscribe for additional applications, users or sites during the terms of their agreements.
Our subscription model results in a high proportion of recurring revenue, which we define as subscription
revenue plus maintenance & support revenue (see “Significant Factors Affecting Results of Operations – Revenue”).
The power of the subscription model is only fully realized when a vendor has high retention rates. High customer
retention rates generate a long customer lifetime and a very high lifetime value of the customer. Our net revenue
retention rates are over 100%, which includes sales of additional applications, users and sites to existing customers.
The recurring nature of our revenue provides high visibility into future performance, and upfront payments
result in cash flow generation in advance of revenue recognition. Typically, more than 80% of our annual
subscription revenue is recognized from customers that are in place at the beginning of the year (excluding the effect
of renewals) and this continues to be our target model going forward. However, this also means that agreements
with new customers or agreements with existing customers purchasing additional applications, users or sites in a
quarter may not contribute significantly to revenue in the current quarter. As an example, a new customer who
enters into an agreement on the last day of a quarter will typically have no impact on the revenue recognized in that
quarter.
Significant Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Our results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors, including:
Revenue
Our revenue consists of subscription fees, professional service fees and maintenance and support fees.
Subscription revenue is comprised of fixed term fees for licensed on-premise use of RapidResponse or fees for
provision as software as a service (“SaaS”) in a hosted/cloud environment.
Subscription revenue includes maintenance and support for the solution for the term of the contract as well as
hosting services when provided under a SaaS arrangement.
Professional services revenue is comprised of fees charged to assist organizations to implement and integrate
our solution and train their staff to use and deploy our solution. Professional service engagements are contracted on
a time and materials basis including billable travel expenses and are billed and recognized as revenue as the service
is delivered.
Maintenance & support revenue relates to fees for maintenance and support for certain legacy customers who
licensed our software on a perpetual basis prior to our conversion to a SaaS model in 2005. Over time, this revenue
stream is expected to decline as more customers eventually convert to our more comprehensive, subscription based
service or customers choose to let their support contracts lapse.

KINAXIS ANNUAL REPORT 2014

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISManagement's Discussion and Analysis
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists of personnel, travel and other overhead costs related to implementation teams
supporting initial deployments, training services and subsequent stand-alone engagements for additional services.
Cost of revenue also includes personnel and overhead costs associated with our customer support team, the cost of
our data centre facilities where we physically host our on-demand solution and network connectivity costs for the
provisioning of hosting services under SaaS arrangements.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs for our sales and marketing
teams, including salaries and benefits, commissions earned by sales personnel and trade show and promotional
marketing costs.
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing by expanding our domestic and international selling and
marketing activities, building brand awareness and sponsoring additional marketing events. We expect that in the
future, sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs for the teams responsible
for the ongoing research, development and product management of RapidResponse. These expenses are recorded net
of any applicable scientific research and experimental development investment tax credits (“investment tax
credits”) earned for expenses incurred in Canada against eligible projects. When we were a Canadian controlled
private corporation, a portion of these tax credits were refundable. As a public company, federal tax investment tax
credits are no longer refundable. We only record non-refundable tax credits to the extent there is reasonable
assurance we will be able to use the investment tax credits to reduce current or future tax liabilities. As the Company
has an established history of profits, we do expect to realize the benefit of these tax credits in the near term. Further,
we anticipate that spending on R&D will also be higher in absolute dollars as we expand our research and
development and product management teams.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs associated with
administrative functions of the business including finance, human resources and internal IT support, as well as legal,
accounting and other professional fees. We expect that, in the future, general and administrative expenses will
increase in absolute dollars as we invest in our infrastructure and we incur additional employee-related costs and
professional fees related to the growth of our business and international expansion, including associated public
company costs.
Foreign exchange
Our presentation and functional currency with the exception of our subsidiaries in Japan (Japanese Yen) and the
Netherlands (Euro) is U.S. dollars. We derive most of our revenue in U.S. dollars. Our head office and a significant
portion of our employees are located in Ottawa, Canada, and as such a significant amount of our expenses are
incurred in Canadian dollars.
Loss due to change in fair value of redeemable preferred shares
We have recorded significant losses related to changes in the fair value of the redeemable preferred share
liability. Immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering, all of our redeemable preferred shares
were converted on a one-to-one basis to Common Shares and the liability was reduced to $Nil with a corresponding
increase in share capital. In addition, the accumulated deficit of $41 million generated by the losses related to the
changes in the fair value of the redeemable preferred shares that were converted to Common Shares was reclassified
from deficit to share capital. In future periods, there will be no further impact on our results of operations from the
redeemable preferred shares.

Adjusted EBITDA represents profit adjusted to exclude the impact of our formerly outstanding redeemable

net financing (income) expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to provide readers with a supplemental measure of our
operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when
relying solely on IFRS financial measures.
We believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in
the evaluation of issuers. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance
comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our capital

contracts secured with new customers during the fourth quarter of 2013 and during fiscal year 2014, and expansion
of existing customer subscriptions.
Professional services revenue
Professional services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased $0.4 million or 7% to $4.7 million from
$5.1 million for the same period in 2013. For fiscal year 2014, professional service revenue was $17.8 million
compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2013, representing a decrease of $1.4 million or 7%. The decrease
in services revenue is due to a decline in revenue related to a significant engagement with an existing customer that
ended in December 2013. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in services provided for deployment of
new customers acquired during the second half of 2013 and throughout fiscal year 2014.
Maintenance & support revenue
Maintenance & support revenue was $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, down 15% compared to the
same period in 2013 and $1.2 million for fiscal year 2014 compared to $1.6 million for 2013, a decrease of $0.4
million or 26%. This expected decrease in revenue is due to support contracts with legacy customers with perpetual
licenses that have lapsed and the migration of perpetual licenses held by a specific customer to a subscription model
in the latter half of fiscal 2013.

Cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $0.8 million, or 18%, to $5.4 million from $4.6 million
for the same period in 2013. For fiscal year 2014, cost of revenue increased $2.7 million or 15% to $20.7 million
from $18.0 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in costs was primarily attributable to increased
headcount and related compensation costs initiated in the second half of 2013 to support active engagements and
future growth of professional services activity, an increase in use of third-party service providers to support new
deployments, and increased travel costs and billable expenses related to currently active projects. An increase in
costs associated with the expansion of data centre capacity to support new customer engagements was also incurred.
Gross profit for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was $13.4 million and $49.3 million compared
to $11.7 million and $42.8 million for the same periods in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to
71% in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 from 72% in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 and
remained at 70% in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The percentage decrease in the fourth quarter of
2014 was due to the growth in total revenue in the period compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 while the growth in
cost of revenue was higher in the fourth quarter of 2014 driven by a higher level of investment in additional services
headcount compared to the same period in 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISManagement's Discussion and Analysis
marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 was due to higher commission expenses incurred in the fourth
quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Late in the fourth quarter of 2014, we closed a multi-year
subscription agreement that provided for a single payment of the initial term subscription fee of approximately $20.0
million. While this fee was invoiced and received in the first quarter of 2015, the commissions related to this
agreement were expensed in the fourth quarter of 2014. Sales and marketing expenses for fiscal year 2014 were
comparable to the prior year, as increased sales compensation and commission expenses relating to customer
contracts closed in 2014 were mostly offset by lower marketing headcount and related compensation costs due to a
functional realignment of product marketing resources to product management under research and development in
the fourth quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased 6% to 28% in the
fourth quarter of 2014 and decreased 3% to 22% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in the fourth
quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 is due to the higher commission expenses incurred in the
fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in fiscal year 2014 compared to fiscal year 2013 is due to the functional
realignment of product marketing resources in the fourth quarter of 2013. Due to the timing of marketing programs
and events and the closing of customer contracts, selling and marketing expenses will vary from quarter to quarter.

Gross research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased $0.9 million to $3.9 million
or 32% and for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased $4.0 million to $15.4 million or 48%, in each case
compared to the same periods in 2013. The increase in research and development expenses was due to an increase in
compensation and related costs due to an increase in headcount from new hires and the realignment of marketing
resources under product management completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The investment in headcount was
made to support ongoing programs to develop the RapidResponse product and solution offering for new and existing
customers. Investment tax credits earned on research and development activity in Canada increased 10% in the
fourth quarter to $0.6 million and decreased 11% to $2.0 million for the 2014 year, in each case compared to the
same periods in 2013. The increase in investment tax credits earned in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the
fourth quarter of 2013 is due to increased headcount and creditable activity incurred in the second half of 2014. The
decrease for fiscal year 2014 is due to a decrease in the effective rates for earning credits and the ineligibility of
capital purchases for tax credits for 2014 as well as the loss of refundable credits at a higher rate upon the closing of
our initial public offering and becoming a public company. As a percentage of revenues, gross research and
development expenses were 21% for the fourth quarter and 22% for the fiscal year 2014 compared to 18% and 17%
for the same periods in 2013, reflecting an additional investment in product development. Net research and
development as a percentage of revenue for the fourth quarter and the 2014 year was 18% and 19% compared to
15% and 13% for the same periods in 2013. The percentage increased due to the decrease in the investment tax
credits earned compared to the previous year in addition to higher product development expenses.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the fourth quarter of 2014, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 17%, to $2.1
million from $1.8 million for the same period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 30% to $8.3 million from $6.4 million for the same period in
2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in headcount and related
compensation costs and share-based payments expense as well as accounting, audit and legal fees related to the
conversion to IFRS, review of quarterly results, tax planning and corporate governance support. As a percentage of
revenue, general and administrative expenses were 11% for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013 and 12% for
the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 10% for the same period in 2013 due to the increase in
compensation costs and accounting, audit and legal fees noted above.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, total other expense was $0.4 million compared to $2.7 million
for the fourth quarter of 2013, and fiscal year 2014 was $7.8 million compared to $18.0 million for fiscal year 2013.
The decrease in the fourth quarter was due to the non-cash fair value adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of
2013 for the redeemable preferred shares which were converted to Common Shares at the time of our initial public
offering in the second quarter of 2014. For fiscal year 2014, other expenses decreased due to a lower fair value
adjustment for the redeemable preferred shares compared to the adjustments incurred in fiscal year 2013, offset
partially by an increase in interest expense incurred in the first half of 2014 on the term loan and foreign exchange
losses on monetary assets held in foreign currencies revalued against a strengthening US dollar in the second half of
2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISManagement's Discussion and Analysis
expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 is due to lower profit before income
taxes in the fourth quarter of 2014 excluding the impact of the non-deductible loss on the redeemable preferred
shares. Income tax expense for fiscal year 2014 was comparable to fiscal year 2013 as the profit before tax was also
comparable excluding the impact of the loss on the redeemable preferred shares and considering the increase in non-
deductible shared-based compensation in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.

Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased $1.4 million to $0.6 million or $0.02 per basic
share and diluted share, from a loss of $0.8 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2013.
For fiscal year 2014 the loss decreased to $0.2 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share from $9.7 million or
$0.59 per basic and diluted share. The increase in profit was primarily driven by a lower fair value adjustment on the
redeemable preferred shares which were converted to Common Shares at the time of our initial public offering in
June 2014. The increase was partially offset by lower operating profits, higher foreign exchange losses and interest
expenses in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $3.8 million, a decrease of $0.7 million
from $4.5 million from the corresponding period in 2013. For the year ended December 31 2014, Adjusted EBITDA
increased $1.1 million to $16.1 million, compared to $15.0 million in the corresponding period in 2013. The
decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended December 31, 2014 is due to an increase in sales and
marketing and research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in
2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2014 is due to the growth in revenue compared to the prior
year net of the increase in operating expenses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Trade and other receivables were $17.0 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $4.6 million compared to
$12.4 million at December 31, 2013. The change in trade and other receivables was due to timing of billings and
collections on receivables which can have a significant impact on the balance at any point in time due to the annual
subscription billing cycle. The aging of trade receivables is generally current and we have no history of bad debts.

Investment tax credits receivable are the estimated refunds we anticipate receiving as a result of research and
development that is considered qualified for investment tax credits. As of the closing of our initial public offering,
we no longer are eligible for federal refundable investment tax credits. We remain eligible for non-refundable
investment tax credits which will be earned at a lower rate resulting in higher research and development expenses
going forward.
Investment tax credits receivable of $2.0 million at December 31, 2014 were $0.7 million higher compared to
$1.3 million at December 31, 2013 as the refund related to the 2013 tax year remains outstanding in addition to
refundable investment tax credits filed for 2014 for the period prior to our initial public offering. Long-term
investment tax credits recoverable are the non-refundable portion of investment tax credits earned. The balance
increased $1.0 million to $3.1 million at December 31, 2014 from $2.1 million at December 31, 2013 due to
estimated non-refundable credits earned during fiscal year 2014.

Deferred revenue at December 31, 2014 was $37.6 million, an increase of $12.9 million compared to $24.7
million at December 31, 2013. We generally bill our customers annually in advance for subscriptions resulting in the
amount billed initially recorded as deferred revenue and drawn down to revenue over the term. The increase in
deferred revenue reflects the increase in subscription revenue from the addition of new customer contracts and
expansion of existing customers and the timing of annual billings. Deferred revenue relating to subscription term
periods beyond one year totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2014.

Prior to our initial public offering, we had redeemable preferred shares outstanding that had been designated as
financial liabilities and recorded at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS. The liability increased
$6.8 million in 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 due to the change in the fair value of the redeemable preferred
shares. Immediately before completion of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding redeemable preferred
shares were converted into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The accumulated deficit generated by the non-
cash fair value adjustments amounting to $41.0 million related to these converted preferred shares was reclassified
from deficit to share capital. Upon completion of our initial public offering we no longer have issued or authorized
redeemable preferred shares and we will no longer incur the related changes in fair value recorded in profit and loss.

an increase in general and administrative expenses to support our initial public offering in the second quarter of
2014 and to support ongoing compliance and governance requirements. Our quarterly profit has been impacted
significantly by the fair value adjustment on the redeemable preferred shares prior to our initial public offering.
Upon completion of the initial public offering in June 2014, we converted the redeemable preferred shares into
Common Shares and profit will no longer be impacted by this expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of cash flow is sales of subscriptions for our software and sales of services. Our approach to
managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that we always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities
as they come due. We do so by continuously monitoring cash flow and actual operating expenses compared to
budget.

As at December

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents........................................................ $ 56,725
$ 13,804
Cash and cash equivalents increased $42.9 million to $56.7 million at December 31, 2014, from $13.8 million at
December 31, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the proceeds from our initial public offering which closed in
the second quarter of 2014, net of repayment of our term loan as well as cash from operations for fiscal year 2014.
We expect cash to increase significantly during the first quarter of 2015 due to the receipt of prepayment of a multi-
year subscription of approximately $20.0 million as well as other new subscription arrangements.
In addition to the cash balances, we have a Cdn.$5.0 million revolving demand facility available to be drawn to
meet ongoing working capital requirements. Our principal cash requirements are for working capital and capital
expenditures. Excluding deferred revenue, working capital at September 30, 2014 was $70.8 million. Given the
ongoing cash generated from operations and our existing cash and credit facilities, we believe there is sufficient
liquidity to meet our current and planned financial obligations.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Cash generated by operating activities was $16.3 million in 2014 compared to $19.6 million in 2013. The
decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million was due primarily to the Part VI.1 tax of $4.0
million paid in the first quarter of 2014 and interest paid on the term loan of $0.5 million during the first two
quarters of 2014.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Cash used in investing activities is driven by purchases of property and equipment primarily related to computer
equipment for use in our hosting facilities and to support research and development requirements. For the year
ended December 31, 2014, cash used in purchase of property and equipment was $3.5 million, an increase of $2.1
million from $1.4 million in 2013. We expect to continue to invest in additional property and equipment to support
the growth in our customer base and to take advantage of new and advanced technology.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $30.6 million comprised of: $1.2
million of proceeds from shares issued for cash and upon exercise of options before and after the completion of our

initial public offering, $54.3 million of proceeds from our initial public offering net of share issuance costs incurred,
and $5.0 million drawn on the term debt facility to fund the Part VI.1 tax liability resulting from the shares
repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2013, less repayment of the term debt facility in full for $30 million. The cash
used by financing activities in the same period in 2013 was $52.6 million comprised of: $79.1 million in cash
consideration provided for the repurchase of Class A Preferred Shares, Common Shares and Non-Voting Common
Shares in the fourth quarter of 2013 net of $25.0 million in term debt drawn to finance a portion of the repurchase,
$0.5 million of proceeds from shares issued upon exercise of options and subscriptions received under the share
purchase plan (which was discontinued in connection with our initial public offering) and $1.0 million of proceeds
from the repayment of receivable for share sale.
Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
On December 18, 2013, we entered into certain credit facilities with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”). The
credit facilities are comprised of a Cdn.$5.0 million revolving demand credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and
a $30.0 million non-revolving term loan (the “Term Loan”) maturing on June 30, 2017.
As of December 31, 2014, no amounts had been drawn against the Revolving Facility. Prior to our initial public
offering, $30.0 million had been drawn under the Term Loan. On June 18, 2014, the balance of the Term Loan was
repaid using proceeds of our initial public offering. Upon full repayment the Term Loan facility was terminated.
The interest rate on the remaining Revolving Facility is RBC U.S. prime plus 1% per annum for U.S. dollar
denominated amounts and RBC U.S. base rate plus 1% per annum for Canadian dollar denominated amounts. In the
event our aggregate borrowings under the Revolving Facility exceed Cdn. $0.5 million a borrowing limit applies
that is based principally on our accounts receivable.
Use of Proceeds
On June 10, 2014, pursuant to our initial public offering, we issued 5,000,000 Common Shares for proceeds,
before deducting fees and expenses, of approximately Cdn. $65.0 million. After deducting fees and expenses, we
realized net proceeds of $55.7 million (approximately Cdn. $61.3 million).
As previously disclosed we planned to use the proceeds we received from our initial public offering as follows:
approximately $30.0 million (approximately Cdn.$33.0 million) for debt repayment, approximately Cdn.$23.6
million to strengthen our balance sheet, and the balance for working capital and general corporate and administrative
purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to expand our current business through acquisitions of, or
investments in, other complementary businesses, products or technologies. We may re-allocate the net proceeds
from time to time depending on changes in business conditions prevalent at the time.
The following table sets out a comparison of the intended use of proceeds disclosed in the prospectus dated June
3, 2014 (the “Intended Use of Proceeds”) publicly filed in connection with our initial public offering and actual use
of proceeds from the offering (other than working capital):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases (which have been disclosed under
“Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations”), that have, or are likely to have, a current or future
material effect on our consolidated financial position, financial performance, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources.
Transactions with Related Parties
We did not have any transactions during the year ended December 31, 2014 that would be considered to be
between the Company and a related party. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company made donations
of $65 in lieu of salary to a charitable organization that is a related party to our CEO, and conducted a share
repurchase program that was executed in the fourth quarter of 2013 in which the CEO and other executive officers
tendered shares and/or vested options.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
We recognize financial assets and liabilities when we become party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. On initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value plus transaction costs
directly attributable to the financial assets and liabilities, except for financial assets or liabilities at fair value through
profit and loss, whereby the transactions costs are expensed as incurred.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations. Our credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables.
The nature of our subscription based business results in payments being received in advance of the majority of
the services being delivered; as a result, our credit risk exposure is low. As the majority of our revenues are earned
22
KINAXIS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
18
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISManagement's Discussion and Analysis
over a period of time, the potential impact on our operating results is low as any uncollectible amounts would affect
trade and other receivables and deferred revenue.
Currency risk
A portion of our revenues and operating costs are realized in currencies other than our functional currency, such
as the Canadian dollar, Euros, the Hong Kong dollar and Japanese Yen. As a result, we are exposed to currency risk
on these transactions. Also, additional earnings volatility arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the rate of exchange on each date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Position; the impact of which is reported as a foreign exchange gain or loss.
Our objective in managing our currency risk is to minimize exposure to currencies other than our functional
currency. We do so by matching foreign denominated assets with foreign denominated liabilities.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in market interest rates. We believe that interest rate risk is low for our financial assets as the majority of
investments are made in fixed rate instruments. We do have interest rate risk related to our credit facilities. The rates
on our Revolving Facility are variable to bank prime rate.
Capital management
Our capital is composed of our Common Shares and shareholders’ equity. Our objective in managing our
capital is financial stability and sufficient liquidity to increase shareholder value through organic growth and
investment in sales, marketing and product development. Our senior management team is responsible for managing
the capital through regular review of financial information to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet
operating requirements and investments to support our growth strategy. The Board of Directors is responsible for
overseeing this process. In order to maintain or adjust our capital structure, we could issue new shares, repurchase
shares, approve special dividends or issue debt.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue
We derive revenue from subscriptions for our product comprised of our hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS)
application and fixed term subscription licenses of our software products (“On-premise licenses”). In addition, we
derive revenue from the provision of professional services including implementation services, technical services and
training and, to a lesser degree, from maintenance and support services provided to customers with legacy perpetual
licenses to our software products. Professional services do not include significant customization to, or development
of, the software.
We commence revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
it is probable that the economic benefits of the transaction will flow to the entity;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
We provide our SaaS, On-premise licenses and professional services on a stand-alone basis or as part of a
multiple element arrangement. Stand-alone sales occur through renewals of the SaaS or On-premise license and
stand-alone purchases of the same or similar professional services on an ongoing basis by customers. When sold in a
multiple element arrangement, the SaaS or On-premise license and the professional services elements are considered
separate units of accounting as they have stand-alone value to the customer. The total consideration for the
arrangement is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair value and the revenue is
recognized for each unit when the requirements for revenue recognition have been met. We determine the fair value
of each unit of accounting based on the selling price when they are sold separately. When the fair value cannot be
determined based on when it was sold, we determine a value that most reasonably reflects the selling price that
might be achieved in a stand-alone transaction. Inputs considered in making this determination include the specific

parameters and model used in determining the contract price, contracted renewal rates, the history of pricing,
renewals and stand-alone sales activity of similar customers.
Subscription revenue related to the provision of SaaS or On-premise term licenses is recognized ratably over the
contract term as the service or access to the software is delivered. The contract term begins when the service is made
available or the license is delivered to the customer.
We enter into arrangements for professional services primarily on a time and materials basis. Revenue for
professional services entered into on a time and material basis is recognized as the services are performed. In certain
circumstances, the Company enters into arrangements for professional services on a fixed price basis. Revenue for
fixed price arrangements is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract, taking into
consideration the cost incurred to date in relation to the total expected cost to complete the deliverable. If the
estimated cost to complete a contract results in a loss on the contract, the loss is recognized immediately in profit or
loss.
Maintenance and support services provided to customers with legacy perpetual licenses are sold as a single
element arrangement with one unit of accounting. Revenue for these arrangements is recognized ratably over the
term of the maintenance contract.
Judgment is applied in determining the components of a multiple element revenue arrangement. In allocating
the consideration received among the multiple elements of a revenue arrangement, we must make estimates as to the
fair value of each individual element. The selling price of the element on a stand-alone basis is used to determine the
fair value. Where stand-alone sales do not exist, various inputs are used to determine the fair value. Changes to these
inputs may result in different estimates of fair value for an element and impact the allocation of consideration and
timing of revenue recognition.
Income taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected
to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date, in the countries where we operate and generate
taxable income.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the temporary differences between transactions that
have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided for using
the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary
differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities and for certain carry-forward items.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is probable that
the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The recognition of deferred tax assets requires that we assess future taxable income available to utilize deferred
tax assets related to deductible or taxable temporary differences. We consider the nature and carry-forward period of
deferred tax assets, our recent earnings history and forecast of future earnings in performing this assessment. The
actual deferred tax assets realized may differ from the amount recorded due to factors having a negative impact on
our operating results and lower future taxable income.
Investment tax credits recoverable
The recognition of investment tax credits recoverable requires that we assess future tax payable available to
utilize the investment tax credits. We consider the carry-forward period of the investment tax credits, our recent
earnings history and forecast of future earnings in performing this assessment. We determine the value of effort
expended towards research and development projects that qualify for investment tax credits and calculate the
estimated recoverable to be recognized. The allocation of direct salaries to qualifying projects is derived from time
records and assessment by management. The actual investment tax credits claimed and realized may differ from the
estimate based on the final tax returns and review by tax authorities.

Fair value of share-based payments
We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of equity settled stock options. Estimates
are required for inputs to this model including the fair value of the underlying shares, the expected life of the option,
volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Variation in actual results for any of these inputs
will result in a different value of the stock option realized from the original estimate.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation
In December 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board amended International Accounting Standard 32 to
clarify the meaning of when an entity has a current legally enforceable right of set-off. The amendments are
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and are required to be applied retrospectively. The
adoption of IAS 32 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21: Levies
In May 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRIC 21 which provides guidance on
accounting for levies in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 37: Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed
by a government in accordance with legislation. It also notes that levies do not arise from executor contracts of other
contractual arrangements. The interpretation also confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when
the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. This IFRIC is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Changes to standards and interpretations
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, bringing together the classification and measurement,
impairment and hedge accounting phases of the project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement. This standard simplifies the classification of a financial asset as either at amortized cost or at fair
value as opposed to the multiple classifications which were permitted under IAS 39. This standard also requires the
use of a single impairment method as opposed to the multiple methods in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based
on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial assets. The standard also adds guidance on the classification and measurement of
financial liabilities. IFRS 9 is to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Early application is permitted. The Company does not intend to adopt this standard early and is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, which provides a single, principles-based five-step model for revenue recognition to be applied to all
customer contracts, and requires enhanced disclosures. This standard is effective January 1, 2017 and allows early
adoption. The Company does not intend to adopt this standard early and is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of Kinaxis Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kinaxis Inc., which comprise the
consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, and December 2013, and notes, comprising 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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.
Auditors’ 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.
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 our 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, we consider 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.

1. Corporate information:
Kinaxis Inc., (the "Company") is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and
domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of the Company’s registered office is 700 Silver
Seven Road, Ottawa, Ontario. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and
for the year ended December 31, 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.
Kinaxis is a leading provider of cloud-based subscription software that enables its customers to
improve and accelerate analysis and decision-making across their supply chain operations.
Kinaxis is a global enterprise with offices in Chicago, United States; Tokyo, Japan; Hong Kong,
China; Eindhoven, The Netherlands; and Ottawa, Canada.
On June 10, 2014, the Company completed an initial public offering and its shares began trading
on the Toronto stock exchange under the symbol “KXS”.
2. Basis of preparation:
(a) Statement of compliance:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IASB”), and include the accounts of Kinaxis Inc. and its four wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Kinaxis Corp., Kinaxis Asia Limited, Kinaxis Japan K.K. and Kinaxis Europe B.V.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on
February 24, 2015.
(b) Measurement basis:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except
for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on
the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Presentation currency:
These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) which
is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated.
Tabular amounts are presented in thousands of USD.

2. Basis of preparation (continued):
(d) Foreign currency:
Foreign currency transactions
The financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (excluding
Kinaxis Japan K.K. and Kinaxis Europe B.V.), are measured using the United States dollar as
the functional currency. Transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each
reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the
functional currency at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary
items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional
currency at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the rates at the date of the transaction.
Foreign operations
The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Kinaxis Japan K.K. and Kinaxis Europe B.V., translated into U.S. dollars. The
financial statements of Kinaxis Japan K.K. are measured using the Japanese Yen as its
functional currency and the financial statements of Kinaxis Europe B.V. are measured using
the European Euro as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated into
U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange
rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates
of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
(e) Use of estimates and judgments:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and judgments included, but not limited to, the determination of the value of
redeemable preferred shares, the allocation of consideration for a multiple element revenue
arrangement, recognition of deferred tax assets, valuation of investment tax credits
recoverable and valuation of share-based payments. Estimates and assumptions are
reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are recorded in the consolidated financial
statements in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods
affected.

2. Basis of preparation (continued):
(e) Use of estimates and judgments (continued):
Fair value of redeemable preferred shares
The estimate of the fair value of the redeemable preferred shares is supported by an
independent valuation report prepared by a Chartered Business Valuator to provide a value
for each class of share at the reporting date. The valuator applied both the discounted cash
flow approach and a market based approach to estimate the value of the Company. An
option pricing model that considers the legal rights of all security classes and the respective
claims of each security class on the value of the Company was applied to determine the fair
value of the redeemable preferred shares. Changes to any one of the inputs into the
discounted cash flow or market based approaches may result in a different estimate of value
for the Company and a different estimate of the fair value of the redeemable preferred
shares. Furthermore, changes to inputs in the option pricing model may result in a different
value allocated to the redeemable preferred shares. Immediately prior to the completion of
the initial public offering on June 10, 2014, the fair value of the redeemable preferred shares
was measured at the offering price of the shares.
Allocation of consideration to multiple elements of a revenue arrangement
Judgment is applied in determining the components of a multiple element revenue
arrangement. In allocating the consideration received among the multiple elements of a
revenue arrangement, management must make estimates as to the fair value of each
individual element. The selling price of the element on a stand-alone basis is used to
determine the fair value. Where stand-alone sales do not exist, various inputs as detailed in
note 3(b) are used to determine the fair value. Changes to these inputs may result in different
estimates of fair value for an element and impact the allocation of consideration and timing of
revenue recognition.
Income taxes
The recognition of deferred tax assets requires the Company to assess future taxable income
available to utilize deferred tax assets related to deductible or taxable temporary differences.
The Company considers the nature and carry-forward period of deferred tax assets, the
Company’s recent earnings history and forecast of future earnings in performing this
assessment. The actual deferred tax assets realized may differ from the amount recorded
due to factors having a negative impact on operating results of the Company and lower future
taxable income.

2. Basis of preparation (continued):
(e) Use of estimates and judgments (continued):
Investment tax credits recoverable
The recognition of investment tax credits recoverable requires the Company to assess future
tax payable available to utilize the investment tax credits. The Company considers the carry-
forward period of the investment tax credits, the Company's recent earnings history and
forecast of future earnings in performing this assessment.
The Company determines the value of effort expended towards research and development
projects that qualify for investment tax credits and calculates the estimated recoverable to be
recognized. The allocation of direct salaries to qualifying projects is derived from time
records and assessment by management. The actual investment tax credits claimed and
realized may differ from the estimate based on the final tax returns and review by tax
authorities.
Fair value of share-based payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of equity
settled stock options. Estimates are required for inputs to this model including the fair value
of the underlying shares, the expected life of the option, volatility, expected dividend yield and
the risk-free interest rate. Variation in actual results for any of these inputs will result in a
different value of the stock option realized from the original estimate. The assumptions and
estimates used are further outlined in note 10.
3. Significant accounting policies:
(a) Basis of consolidation:
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company. All intercompany
transactions, balances, revenues and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries
have been eliminated.
(b) Revenue recognition:
3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(b) Revenue recognition (continued):
•
•
•
The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
it is probable that the economic benefits of the transaction will flow to the entity;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be
measured reliably.
The Company provides its SaaS, On-premise licenses and professional services on a stand-
alone basis or as part of a multiple element arrangement. Stand-alone sales occur through
renewals of the SaaS or On-premise term license and stand-alone purchases of the same or
similar professional services on an ongoing basis by customers. When sold in a multiple
element arrangement, the SaaS or On-premise license and the professional services
elements are considered separate units of accounting as they have stand-alone value to the
customer. The total consideration for the arrangement is allocated to the separate units of
accounting based on their relative fair value and the revenue is recognized for each unit
when the requirements for revenue recognition have been met. The Company determines
the fair value of each unit of accounting based on the selling price when they are sold
separately. When the fair value cannot be determined based on when it was sold separately,
the Company determines a value that most reasonably reflects the selling price that might be
achieved in a stand-alone transaction. Inputs considered in making this determination include
the specific parameters and model used in determining the contract price, contracted renewal
rates, the history of pricing, renewals and stand-alone sales activity of similar customers.
Subscription revenue related to the provision of SaaS or On-premise term licenses is
recognized ratably over the contract term as the service or access to the software is
delivered. The contract term begins when the service is made available or the license is
delivered to the customer.
The Company enters into arrangements for professional services primarily on a time and
materials basis. Revenue for professional services entered into on a time and material basis
is recognized as the services are performed. In certain circumstances, the Company enters
into arrangements for professional services on a fixed price basis. Revenue for fixed price
arrangements is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract, taking
into consideration the cost incurred to date in relation to the total expected cost to complete
the deliverable. If the estimated cost to complete a contract results in a loss on the contract,
the loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Maintenance and support services provided to customers with legacy perpetual licenses are
sold as a single element arrangement with one unit of accounting. Revenue for these
arrangements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(c) Financial instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All financial assets are recognized and de-recognized on trade date and are initially recorded
at fair value plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified FVTPL whose
transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial instruments are classified as follows:
Financial Asset
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Investment tax credits receivable
Loans and receivables
Classification under IAS 39
Loans and receivables – amortized cost
Loans and receivables – amortized cost
Loans and receivables – amortized cost
Financial assets classified as loans and receivables have fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and
receivables are measured at amortized cost by using the effective interest method, less any
impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate except for
short-term receivables where the interest revenue would be immaterial.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt or asset
instrument and allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or
received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other
premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt
instrument, or, where
appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(c) Financial instruments (continued):
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those categorized as FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of
impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is
objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have
been negatively affected.
Certain categories of financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, are assessed for
impairment individually and on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a
portfolio of receivables could include the Company’s past experience of collecting payments,
an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit
period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate
with default on receivables.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant
financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-
organization.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial
liabilities.
The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
Financial instruments are classified as follows:
Financial liability
Trade payables and accrued liabilities
Redeemable preferred shares
Classification under IAS 39
Other financial liabilities – amortized cost
Financial liabilities – FVTPL
Other financial liabilities
The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. Other
financial liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost by using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities - FVTPL
Financial liabilities that contain one or more embedded derivatives may be designated as
other financial liabilities at FVTPL and accounted for as one hybrid instrument rather than
separating the embedded derivatives from the host contract.

De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Company de-recognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s
obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash investments in interest-bearing accounts which can
readily be redeemed for cash without penalty or are issued for terms of ninety days or less
from the date of acquisition.
(e) Property and equipment:
less accumulated depreciation and
Property and equipment are measured at cost
accumulated impairment losses. Property and equipment under finance leases are stated at
the present value of minimum lease payments. Cost includes expenditures that are directly
attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The assets are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of
consumption of the future economic benefits.

Shorter of useful life or term of lease
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year
end and adjusted if appropriate.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its
property and equipment to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine
the extent of the impairment loss (if any). The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value
less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose
of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the
smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating
unit, or CGU”). If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(e) Property and equipment (continued):
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.
(f) Leases:
Leases are classified as either finance or operating in nature. Finance leases are those
which substantially transfer the benefits and risks of ownership to the Company. Assets
acquired under finance leases are depreciated at the same rates as those described in note
3(e). Obligations recorded under finance leases are reduced by the principal portion of lease
payments. The imputed interest portion of lease payments is charged to finance costs.
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part
of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
(g) Employee benefits:
The Company offers a defined contribution plan to its employees which is a post-employment
benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have
no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to
defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit
or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
(h) Provisions:
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding
of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by
the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations
under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the
expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the
contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on
the assets associated with that contract.
(i) Research and development expense:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred unless the criteria for
capitalization are met. No research or development costs have been capitalized to date.

(k) Share-based payments:
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized as an expense or recovery in profit or
loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized outside profit or loss (whether in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognized
outside of profit or loss.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by
the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable
income.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the temporary differences between
transactions that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or income tax
returns. Deferred income taxes are provided for using the liability method. Under the liability
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences
between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities and for certain carry-
forward items. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in the
opinion of management, it is probable that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date
of the enactment or substantive enactment. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company
intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Investment tax credits
(m) Lease inducement:
Investment tax credits relating to scientific research and experimental development
expenditures are recorded in the fiscal period the qualifying expenditures are incurred based
on management’s interpretation of applicable legislation in the Income Tax Act of Canada.
Credits are recorded provided there is reasonable assurance that the tax credit will be
realized. Credits claimed are subject to review by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Credits claimed in connection with research and development activities are accounted for
using the cost reduction method. Under this method, assistance and credits relating to the
acquisition of equipment is deducted from the cost of the related assets, and those relating to
current expenditures, which are primarily salaries and related benefits, are included in the
determination of profit or loss as a reduction of the research and development expenses.

The Company uses the fair value based method to measure share-based compensation for
all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The grant date fair value of equity-
settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is generally recognized as an
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The
grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Each tranche of an award
is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The
amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the
related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the
amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service
and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment
awards with non-vesting (i.e. performance) conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-
based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences
between expected and actual outcomes.
Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum expense
recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified and if the original terms of
the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases
the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the
employee as measured at the date of modification.
(l) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit or loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per
share are calculated similar to basic earnings per share except the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common
shares, which are comprised of additional shares from the assumed exercise or conversion of
share options and redeemable preferred shares outstanding. Options and redeemable
preferred shares that have a dilutive impact are assumed to have been exercised or
converted on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted.
The lease inducement represents rent-free periods and a tenant allowance provided to the
Company by a lessor in connection with a leased property. These amounts have been
deferred as a lease inducement and are being amortized as a reduction in rent expense over
the expected term of the lease.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(n) Standards and interpretations in issue:
International Accounting Standard 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”)
In December 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board amended International
Accounting Standard 32 to clarify the meaning of when an entity has a current legally
enforceable right of set-off. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2014 and are required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of IAS
32 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21: Levies
In May 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRIC 21 which provides
guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with the requirements of International
Accounting Standard 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The
interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in
accordance with legislation. It also notes that levies do not arise from executor contracts of
other contractual arrangements. The interpretation also confirms that an entity recognizes a
liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. This IFRIC
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is required
to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
(o) Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted:
The following is a list of standards and amendments that have been issued but not yet
adopted by the Company.
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, bringing together the classification
and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the project to replace IAS
39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This standard simplifies the
classification of a financial asset as either at amortized cost or at fair value as opposed to the
multiple classifications which were permitted under IAS 39. This standard also requires the
use of a single impairment method as opposed to the multiple methods in IAS 39. The
approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the
context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
assets. The standard also adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial
liabilities. IFRS 9 is to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted. The Company does not intend to adopt this
standard early and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the
consolidated financial statements.

(o) Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted (continued):
IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 15, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, principles-based five-step model for
revenue recognition to be applied to all customer contracts, and requires enhanced
disclosures. This standard is effective January 1, 2017 and allows early adoption. The
Company does not intend to adopt this standard early and is currently evaluating the impact
of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

Alberta ULC were cancelled;
the shareholders of Alberta ULC received an aggregate of 1,253,892.5 Class B Preferred
Shares, 5,114,607.98 Class A-1 Voting Common Shares and 800,000 Class A-2 Non-Voting
Common Shares in exchange for their shares in Alberta ULC;

Shares on a one-for-one basis;
as elected by certain holders, 1,078,525.47 Class A-1 Voting Common Shares and
1,128,633.44 Class A-2 Non-Voting Common Shares were converted into an aggregate of
2,207,132 Class B Voting Common Shares for purposes of receiving a stock dividend, which
was satisfied by issuing an aggregate of 2,207,132 Class C Preferred Shares.
Upon completion of the initial public offering on June 10, 2014:
•
•
all of the issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Shares, Class A-1 Voting Common
Shares, and Class A-2 Non-Voting Common Shares were converted into Common Shares on
a one-for-one basis with any fractional Common Shares that would otherwise have been
issued upon such conversion being cancelled;

Shares were converted into Common Shares on the basis of one Class B Voting Common
Share together with one Class C Preferred Shares into one Common Share;

a one-to-one basis. Immediately prior to the completion of the initial public offering on June 10,
2014, the Class B Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares on a one-to-one basis.
Measurement of fair value
The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the redeemable preferred shares are
unchanged from December 31, 2013. The redeemable preferred shares were converted to
Common Shares immediately prior to completion of the Company’s initial public offering. The fair
value of the redeemable preferred shares was measured at the offering price of the shares at the
time of conversion.

stock options granted during 2014 was $5.73 (2013 - $2.02) on the date of grant using the Black
Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: exercise price is
equal to the price of the underlying share, expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of
1.98% (2013 - 1.87%), an expected life of 8 years (2013 - 8 years), and estimated volatility of
46% (2013 - 47%). Volatility is estimated by benchmarking to comparable publicly traded
companies operating in a similar market segment. The forfeiture rate was estimated at 5% (2013
- 5%).
Share Unit Plan
On May 30, 2014, the Board of Directors adopted a Share Unit Plan to provide long-term
incentive compensation to executives, key employees and non-employee directors. Share Units
may be granted in the form of Restricted Share Units (“RSU”), Performance Share Units (“PSU”)
or Deferred Share Units (“DSU”). RSUs vest based on the passage of time, generally in three
annual increments, PSUs vest based on performance criteria as determined by the Board of
Directors and DSUs do not vest until the participant’s termination of service. Each vested share
unit entitles the participant to receive one Common Share or its cash equivalent.
At December 31, 2014, there were 670,000 share units available for grant under the Plan. During
the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted 80,000 RSUs. Each RSU entitles the
participant to receive one Common Share. The RSUs vest based over time in three equal annual
tranches. The fair value of the RSUs granted was $11.91 per unit using the fair value of a
Common Share at time of grant. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense for
the year ended December 31, 2014 of $514 related to the vesting of RSUs granted in 2014. On
December 10, 2014 the first 26,667 of the RSUs granted in 2014 vested and were released.

The Company has non-capital losses available to reduce taxable income of $9,470 as at
December 31, 2014 (2013 - $23,960) which begin to expire in 2033. The Company has
investment tax credits available to reduce federal income taxes payable in Canada of $2,643 as at
December 31, 2014 (2013 - $1,982) and provincial income taxes payable in Ontario of $448 as at
December 31, 2014 (2013 - $125) which begin to expire in 2028 and 2033 respectively.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets pursuant to an assessment of the likelihood that the
Company will generate sufficient future taxable income against which the benefit of the deferred
tax assets may or may not be realized. This assessment requires management to exercise
significant judgment and make estimates with respect to the Company’s ability to generate taxable
income in future periods and utilize deferred tax assets. The Company considered all existing
evidence in performing this assessment including the history of profitability, secured backlog,
forecasted earnings potential for new business growth, and the ability to realize the assets prior to
expiry.

16. Income taxes (continued):
At December 31, 2013, due to an assessment received from tax authorities on the value of the
tax basis of certain property and equipment and the status of appeals relating to this assessment,
the Company determined the likelihood of realizing the benefit of the related temporary
differences was lower and reversed the previously recorded deferred tax assets reflecting the net
impact of the assessment.
Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized for temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries as the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. The aggregate amount of these temporary differences at December 31, 2014
was $3,860 (2013 - $3,067).

Measurement of fair value
The Company’s fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are
accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs
that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the
asset or liability.
Level 3 values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are
both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within more than one level of the hierarchy, the
level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the Company’s
assessment of the lowest level input that is the most significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are determined as follows:
•
•
•
The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, investment tax credits
receivable and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair market value
due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The carrying amount of long-term debt represents the present value of future
payments and approximates their fair market value.
The redeemable preferred shares were measured at fair value (Level 3)

Financial risk management:
(a) Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily
attributable to its trade and other receivables.
The nature of the Company’s subscription based business results in payments being
received in advance of the majority of the services being delivered; as a result, the
Company’s credit risk exposure is low. At December 31, 2014, one customer accounted for
greater than 10% of total trade receivables (2013 - two customers - 17%). For the year ended
December 31, 2014, no customer individually accounted for greater than 10% of revenue
(2013 - one customer - 10%). As the majority of the Company’s revenues are earned over a
period of time, the potential impact on the Company’s operating results is low as any
uncollectible amounts would affect trade and other receivables and deferred revenue.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region was as

Financial risk management (continued):
(a) Credit risk (continued):
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on amounts which are
past due, historical trends, and any available information indicating that a customer could be
experiencing liquidity or going concern problems. During the year ended December 31, 2014,
the Company did not write off any trade receivables that were deemed not collectible and did
not record an allowance for doubtful accounts as at December 31, 2014 (2013 - $Nil).
The Company invests its excess cash in short-term investments with the objective of
maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment
obligations and future planned capital expenditures with the secondary objective of
maximizing the overall yield of the investment. The Company manages its credit risk on
investments by dealing only with major Canadian banks and investing only in instruments that
management believes have high credit ratings. Given these high credit ratings, the Company
does not expect any counterparties to these investments to fail to meet their obligations.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets
recognized at the date of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as summarized
below:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Investment tax credits receivable

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as
they fall due.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk to is ensure, as far as possible, that it will
always have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company also manages
liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and budgeted expenses. Furthermore, the
Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as
well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including
acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $56,725 (2013 -
$13,804). Further, the Company has a credit facility as disclosed in note 7.

(c) Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and
interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial
instruments.
Currency risk
A portion of the Company’s revenues and operating costs are realized in currencies other
than its functional currency, such as the Canadian dollar, Euro, Hong Kong dollar and
Japanese Yen. As a result, the Company is exposed to currency risk on these transactions.
Also, additional earnings volatility arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the rate of exchange on each date of the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position; the impact of which is reported as a foreign exchange gain
or loss.

(c) Market risk (continued):
The Company’s objective in managing its currency risk is to minimize its exposure to
currencies other than its functional currency. The Company does so by matching foreign
denominated assets with foreign denominated liabilities.
The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian
dollar. For the year ending December 31, 2014, if the Canadian dollar had strengthened 5%
against the U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant, pre-tax income for the year
would have been $984 lower (2013 - $857 lower). Conversely, if the Canadian dollar had
weakened 5% against the U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant, there would be an
equal, and opposite impact, on pre-tax income.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company believes that interest rate
risk is low as the majority of investments are made in fixed rate instruments. At
December 31, 2014, the Company has not drawn on the revolving demand facility.

22. Capital management:
The Company’s capital is composed of its shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective in
managing its capital is to ensure financial stability and sufficient liquidity to increase shareholder
value through organic growth and investment in sales, marketing and product development. The
Company’s senior management is responsible for managing the capital through regular review of
financial information to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet operating requirements
and investments to support its growth strategy. The Board of Directors is responsible for
overseeing this process. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company could
issue new shares, repurchase shares, approve special dividends or issue debt.
The Company has access to a revolving demand facility bears interest at bank prime plus 1.00%
per annum which has not been drawn as at December 31, 2014. The terms of the facility require
the Company to meet certain financial covenants which are monitored by senior management to
ensure compliance.
23. Contingencies:
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into lease agreements
for facilities or equipment. It is common in such commercial lease transactions for the Company
or its subsidiaries as the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third parties for
liabilities that may arise from the use of the leased assets. The maximum amount potentially
payable under the foregoing indemnities cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company has
liability insurance that relates to the indemnifications described above.
The Company includes standard intellectual property indemnification clauses in its software
license and service agreements. Pursuant to these clauses, and subject to certain limitations, the
Company holds harmless and agrees to defend the indemnified party, generally the Company’s
business partners and customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or trade secret
infringement claims by third parties with respect to the Company’s products. The term of the
indemnification clauses is generally for the subscription term and applicable statutory period after
execution of the software license and service agreement. In the event an infringement claim
against the Company or an indemnified party is successful, the Company, at its sole option,
agrees to do one of the following: (i) procure for the indemnified party the right to continue use of
the software; (ii) provide a modification to the software so that its use becomes non-infringing; (iii)
replace the software with software which is substantially similar in functionality and performance;
or (iv) refund the residual value of the software license fees paid by the indemnified party for the
infringing software. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these intellectual property
indemnification clauses is minimal.
Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments related to the above-noted
guarantees and indemnities and accordingly, no liabilities have been accrued in the consolidated
financial statements.
