1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.

 

References to “Lesaka” are references solely to Lesaka Technologies, Inc. References to the “Company” refer to Lesaka and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

Fiscal 2022 reorganization charge - financial services restructuring

 

The Company has incurred significant losses since its contract to distribute social grants expired in September 2018. A strategic imperative for the Company has been to return its South African financial services business (the Consumer division) to a breakeven position and then profitability as soon as possible. As part of a cost optimization process completed in late calendar 2021, the Company performed a review of its labor structure and determined that a number of its defined employee roles would need to be terminated due to redundancy. The Company embarked on a retrenchment process pursuant to Section 189A of the South African Labour Relations Act (“Labour Act”) on January 10, 2022. The Company incurred cash costs of approximately $6.7 million (ZAR 103.4 million) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, principally consisting of severance and related payments and the payment of unutilized leave days. The Company has recorded an expense of $5.9 million in the caption reorganization costs in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. The primary difference between the reorganization charge amount and the total cash paid relates to leave pay which was accrued in prior periods.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements adopted

 

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which amends guidance in Business Combinations (Topic 805) regarding the recognition and measurement of contract assets and liabilities in a business combination. These items are recognized at fair value on acquisition under current guidance. The new guidance requires an acquiring entity to apply guidance in Revenue Recognition (Topic 606) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of March 31, 2023

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, an entity is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of March 31, 2023 (continued)

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance regarding Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The guidance provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards and amends the effective dates for certain major new accounting standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities, including Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company. Specifically, the guidance changes some effective dates for certain new standards on the following topics in the FASB Codification, namely Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815); Leases (ASC 842); Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326); and Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). The guidance defers the adoption date of guidance regarding Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments by the Company from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the impact on its financial results to be material.
