Cybernetronics Inc. (Cyber) is a Canadian-owned public company which designs and manufactures communications and control systems. The company's year end is May 31. It is now June 2018.

You, CPA, are the manager for the audit of Cyber and yesterday had met with the treasurer to discuss the year-end audit. The partner responsible for this client has asked you to prepare a report for the client which discusses important financial accounting issues and a memo to him regarding the audit issues you believe are important.

Notes from the Meeting with the Treasurer

  1.          In December 2017, Cyber won a $40 million contract to design autonomous robots for use in mining activities. In April 2018, the customer exercised the cancellation clause included in the contract. Cyber has capitalized design and development costs related to this contract. The cancellation clause requires the mining company to pay a penalty of $12 million. The penalty has not yet been paid to Cyber.

In June 2017, Cyber entered into an agreement with a university whereby Cyber received assistance in the development of fuzzy logic software which was to have been used in the robots designed for the contract with the mining company. The agreement requires Cyber to make an annual contribution of $0.5 million to the university for four years. The first payment of $0.5 million was made in March 2018 when the university's work was completed.

Management of Cyber is confident that the technology developed, including the fuzzy logic software, can be applied to future contracts involving the design of robots.

Cyber entered into a five-year lease on June 1, 2017 for facilities dedicated to the design and future manufacture of the robots for the mining company. Management of Cyber is presently negotiating a buy-out of the lease and has offered to make lump-sum payment of $750,000 to the lessor on September 1, 2018. The annual lease payment is $500,000.

The draft balance sheet prepared for Cyber's May 31 year end included capitalized design and development costs in the amount of $8.2 million. This amount includes the $0.5 million paid to the university. The draft income statement includes the $12 million cancellation penalty as 'other income -- gain on cancellation of contract'.
