MEDLink System Inc. (MEDLink) is a privately held company specializing in
customized medical software to manage patient records for the medical
offices, medical laboratories and hospitals across Canada. MEDLink users are
healthcare administrators and professionals (lab technicians, nurses and
doctors) across Canada.
The company has been operating from its headquarters in the Lower Mainland of BC since Jan 1,2018. The companys fiscal year end is December 31. For the first time since its inception, an external auditor had been appointed to conduct an audit prior to issuing the financial statements planned for April 15,2022.
Building
On Jan 1,2020, MEDLink built two similar buildings in Surrey. Building
North is the main administration office and Building South is the data
centre facility.
Each building took a year to build and required $1,200,000 in construction costs. Given that interest rate was cheap, the company funded North
building internally while financed South building by borrowing $1,200,000
evenly over the year (i.e. zero at the beginning of the year and increasing to
$1,200,000 by the end of the year in 2020.) The interest rate on the loan is
6%.
Both buildings were completed by December 31,2020, and were ready for
occupancy immediately. However, due to personal reasons from the senior
management, the staff did not move to the two buildings until March 31,
2021. The Controller (Meg Nutt) capitalized the construction costs including
borrowing costs for the 15-month period from Jan 1,2020 to March 31,
2021. The buildings are estimated to have a useful life of 20 years with no
residual value. The company uses the straight-line method for depreciation.
The two buildings sit on a vacant farmland which belongs to the City of
Surrey. The company signed a lease with the Surrey Municipality at an
affordable monthly lease rate of $10,000 for 30 years. As part of the lease
agreement, the municipality requires MEDLink to restore the site to
conditions similar to the state prior to the construction (i.e. farmland). The
company estimates that it will need to incur $120,000 to dismantle, remove
and restore the site at the end of the 30-year lease. No provision was made
for this item.
Both buildings have been recorded at historical cost.
