TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Facedrive Inc. (“Facedrive” or the “Company”) (TSXV:FD), (OTC:FDVRF), a Canadian “people-and-planet first” tech ecosystem announces that, as part of a comprehensive review of its revenue recognition policies with outside consultants, the Company will be reclassing certain of Facedrive Foods’ related Sales & Marketing expenses so as to offset the expenses directly against Facedrive Foods’ revenue on a net basis rather than report the expenses separately. The Company anticipates offsetting the following amounts against its revenue throughout 2021: $771,882 in Q1 2021, resulting in revised downwards adjustments for the Company’s sales and marketing expenses and its revenue such that total net revenues for the quarter was $2,772,834; $1,005,977 in Q2 2021, resulting in revised downwards adjustments for the Company’s sales and marketing expenses and its revenue such that total net revenues for the quarter was $4,521,548; and $559,211 in Q3 2021, resulting in revised downwards adjustments for the Company’s sales and marketing expenses and its revenue such that total net revenues for the quarter was $7,811,810. The cumulative result of these revisions is that an aggregate of $2,337,070 has been netted off of revenue (“Offset Amount”) for the first 3 quarters of 2021 and the Company’s reported expenses have also been reduced by the exact same amount. Accordingly, the Company’s reclassification of certain sales and marketing expenses in 2021 will not result in any changes to Facedrive’s balance sheets, reported net earnings or losses, and the reclassification is not a result of, and did not result in, any changes to Facedrive’s business, operations or capital.
In December 2021, the Company retained an independent national accounting firm to advise on an internal review of Facedrive Foods’ 2021 sales and marketing expenses with a view to bringing the Company further in line with evolving industry application of accounting standards and practices. Among other things, the Company’s review focused on whether periodic promotions to customers already on its platform – a common practice in the industry – could be treated as an expense or whether, alternatively, they should be recorded as an offset against revenue. The review found that, while some existing reporting standards used by the Company’s peers remain less than clear (particularly as some new-age Fintech industries wrestle with IFRS-15), it was most appropriate for the Company to deduct the Offset Amount against both revenues and expenses throughout 2021 and progress the Company’s accounting processes, controls and data systems with these practices going forward, which it has done. The review also concluded that no similar action was required for any prior reporting period, when the Company’s Foods platform remained in nascent stages of its growth.
The review comes on the heels of large well-known industry incumbents also reviewing and revising their revenue recognition policies within the last year, reflecting an industry-wide movement towards clarifying and refining how conventional accounting and IFRS-15 standards apply to modern gig-economy based technology platforms, particularly in the delivery and logistics space.
“With the gig economy being a relatively new phenomenon, many industry standards and practices remain in the process of being fully understood by industry participants and experts alike. Like other established incumbents in our space, Facedrive is going through the important process of better understanding the progressive reporting and compliance standards specific to revenue recognition for gig-economy based delivery. This is an essential step in our maturation as a new-age ESG logistics and mobility platform,” said Mujir Muneeruddin, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Director of Facedrive.
Corrected Disclosure
During the course of the Company’s engagement of an independent national accounting firm to help with a review of Facedrive Foods’ 2021 sales and marketing expenses concurrent with an ongoing Continuous Disclosure Review involving staff of the Corporate Finance Branch of the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) which first commenced in 2020, the Company identified certain entries in originally filed continuous disclosure documents that are subject to revision and is, therefore, implementing an accounting or disclosure change on a retroactive basis (each a “Corrective Disclosure”). The Company’s Corrective Disclosures involve adjustments to the reporting of the end-user discounts that were initially recorded as sales & marketing expenses by the Company. These adjustments are described below. The Company will also be preparing and filing amended and restated interim financial statements and MD&A for Q3 2021 (which will include all of the Corrective Disclosure below) and the Company will also file new separate interim CEO and CFO certificates for Q3 2021 in Form 52-109F2R on the date that it refiles the interim financial report and MD&A. The amended and restated interim financial statements and MD&A for Q3 2021, as well as the new CEO and CFO certificates, are expected to be filed by the Company prior to the end of February 2022.

End-user Discounts and Market-wide Promotions
From time to time, the Company’s subsidiary, Facedrive Foods, provides discounts to end users. The Company records these discounts as being either net of revenue or as sales and marketing expenses depending on the nature of the promotion.
The Company applies a similar revenue recognition and expense allocation policy as compared to other companies in its peer group. The Company’s revenue recognition policies and its policies regarding accounting for end-user incentives and discounts is described in the Company’s Q3 2021 MD&A, which can be summarized as follows:
- Targeted end-user discounts and promotions. These are incentives offered by the Company to acquire, re-engage or generally increase end-users use of the platform (akin to a coupon) offered to end users who are not customers. Targeted end-user discounts and promotions are presented as sales and marketing expenses. For example, if an end user engages the Company for a fare or service that typically would cost an end user $100 and that end user presents or redeems a promotion coupon or promo code for $10 that was specifically issued by the Company to that specific end user, then the Company will account for $100 of revenue and $10 of sales and marketing expenses.
- End-user referrals. These are credits given to existing end-users for referring new end-users to the Company’s platform. End-user referrals are accounted for and presented as sales and marketing expenses. For example, if an end user engages the Company for a fare or service that typically would cost the end user $100 and that end user presents or redeems a promotion coupon or promo code for $10 that was specifically issued by the Company to that specific end user as a result of the end user making a referral to a friend and the Company gaining a new customer, then the Company will account for $100 of revenue and $10 of sales and marketing expenses.
- Market-wide Promotions. These are general discounts offered to the members of the public at large that reduce the end-user’s costs. Market-wide promotions are presented net of revenue. For example, if an end user engages the Company for a fare or service that typically costs the end user $100 and that end user presents or redeems market-wide promotion coupon or promo code for $10, then the Company will account for $90 of revenue and $0 in sales and marketing expenses.

Subsequently during the past few months, management has worked to collect and data mine additional information about the specific uptake and utilization of the Company’s incentives and discounts in order to obtain improved accuracy and statistics regarding the utilization of these programs. Based on the Company’s new and improved analysis of the data arrived at with the help of independent consultants regarding the Company’s incentives and discounts, the Company has determined that certain discounts previously to have been targeted discounted ought to have been recognized as market-wide promotions. Since these market-wide promotions are to now be presented net of revenue, they no longer appear as an expense, therefore resulting in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding reduction in Facedrive Foods’ earlier reported targeted end-user promotion expenses for these quarters. However, there is no change to the Company’s net income / loss nor its cash received during these quarters
