INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Pacific North West Capital Corp. | James Stafford, Inc. Chartered Accountants Suite 350 – 1111 Melville Street Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6E 3V6 Telephone +1 604 669 0711 Facsimile +1 604 669 0754 www.JamesStafford.ca |
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific North West Capital Corp., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 30 April 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended, and 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, 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.
Auditor’s 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 and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the auditor’s 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, the auditor considers 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific North West Capital Corp. as at 30 April 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the ability of Pacific North West Capital Corp. to continue as going concern, including a net loss of $2,341,609 for the year ended 30 April 2013 and accumulated deficit of $30,771,904 since inception.

Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on 29 May 1996 and on 13 July 2004, the Company continued out of the Province of Alberta and into the Province of British Columbia. The Company is in the process of acquiring, exploring and developing Platinum Group Metals (“PGMs”), precious and base metals mineral properties. The Company will attempt to bring the properties to production, structure joint ventures with others, option or lease properties to third parties, or sell the properties outright. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves which are economically recoverable and the Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. |
| The Company’s head office, principal address and records office are located at Suite 650 - 555 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5Z 3X7. |
| The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 April 2013 and for the year then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss of $2,341,609 for the year ended 30 April 2013 (2012: $4,987,597) and has a working capital of $1,637,523 at 30 April 2013 (30 April 2012: $4,570,797). |
| The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $848,953 as at 30 April 2013 (30 April 2012: $3,440,410), but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or to be able to raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the immediate future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms, pursue other remedial measures and/or cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
2.1 | Basis of consolidation |
Page | 5
Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control is obtained to the date control ceases. All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. |
| An associate is an entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has significant influence, and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies and is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associates are accounting for by using the equity method. |
| The subsidiaries and associate of the Company as at 30 April 2013 and 2012 are described below: |

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
3.1 | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions |
| The preparation of the Company’sconsolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires managementto make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of theconsolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expensesduring the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuouslyevaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, includingexpectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ fromthese estimates. |
| Areas requiring a significant degree ofestimation and judgment relate to the recoverability of the carrying value ofexploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financialinstruments and share-based payments, the recognition and valuation ofprovisions for decommissioning liabilities, the recoverability and measurementof exploration and evaluation properties and deferred tax assets andliabilities, and the ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results maydiffer from those estimates and judgments. |
3.2 | Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash atbanks and on hand, and short term money market instruments with an originalmaturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a knownamount of cash. |
3.3 | Investment in associate |
| The Company’s investment in its associateis accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equitymethod, the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at costand subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share ofearnings and losses of the associate and for impairment losses after theinitial recognition date. The Company’s share of an associate’s losses thatare in excess of its investment in the associate are recognized only to theextent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or madepayments on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share of earnings andlosses of associates are recognized in profit or loss during the period. |
| After application of the equity method, theCompany determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss onthe Company’s investment in its associates. The Company determines at eachreporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment inthe associate is impaired. If there is objective evidence, the Companycalculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverableamount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount inprofit or loss. When a group entity transacts with an associate of theCompany, profit and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Company’sinterest in the relevant associate. |

| Exchange differences arising on thetranslation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive incomein the statement of comprehensive income to the extent that gains and lossesarising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensiveincome. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss,the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss. |
3.5 | Property and equipment |
| Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of anitem of property, plant and equipment consists of the purchase price, any costsdirectly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and conditionnecessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs ofdismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. |
| Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to writeoff the cost of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residualvalue, using the declining balance method using the following rates or thestraight-line method over the following expected useful lives: |
| - Automotive
- Office equipment
- Software
- Leasehold improvements

3.6 | Exploration and evaluation properties |
| Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. |
| Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation properties and deferred costs until the receipts are in excess of costs incurred, at which time, they are credited to income. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionee, and accordingly, are recorded on a cash basis. |
| Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. |
| Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. |
| Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation asset is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. |
3.7 | Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities |
| The Company recognizes provisions for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the reclamation of mineral properties and retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant, site restoration work and other similar retirement activities is added to the carrying amount of the related asset, and depreciated on the same basis as the related asset, along with a corresponding increase in the provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the current market assessments of the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. |
| The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision. |
Page | 10
Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period. The net present value of reclamation costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to profit or loss in the period incurred. The costs of reclamation projects that were included in the provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The costs to prevent and control environmental impacts at specific properties are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation properties. |
| Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and recognized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the share-based payments reserve. |
| The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. |
| Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. |
| Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. |
| The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. |

| Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: |
| Financial assets at FVTPL |
| Financial assets are classified as held for trading and are included in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives, other than those designated as effective hedging instruments, are also categorized as held for trading. These assets are carried at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs associated with financial assets at FVTPL are expensed as incurred. Cash and cash equivalents and share purchase warrants held in other companies are included in this category of financial assets. |
| Held-to-maturity and loans and receivables |
| Held-to-maturity and loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method if the time value of money is significant. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset classified in this category are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset. Amounts receivables are classified as loans and receivables. |
| Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as loans and receivables. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with gains or losses recognized within other comprehensive income. Accumulated changes in fair value are recorded as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognized or impaired. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset. Available-for-sale assets include short term investments in equities of other entities. |
| The fair value is determined by reference to bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. Where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Where fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are carried at cost. |
| Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge |
| The Company does not hold or have any exposure to derivative instruments. |

Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
3.11 | Financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL, derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, or as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows: |
| Financial liabilities at FVTPL |
| Financial liabilities at FVTPL has two subcategories, including financial liabilities held for trading and those designated by management on initial recognition. Transaction costs on financial liabilities at FVTPL are expensed as incurred. These liabilities are carried at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss. |
| Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost |
| All other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or cancellation of liabilities are recognized respectively in interest, other revenues and finance costs. Trade payables are included in this category of financial liabilities. |
| Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge |
| The Company does not hold or have any exposure to derivative instruments. |
3.12 | Impairment of financial assets |
| Financial assets, other than financial assets at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each period end. |
| Assets carried at amortized cost |
| If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost have been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as 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. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced, with the amount of the loss recognized in profit or loss. |
| If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. |
Page | 13
Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of the asset is recognized within other comprehensive income. |
3.13 | Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities |
| Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized directly in equity is recognized in profit or loss. |
| For financial liabilities, they are derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. |
3.14 | Impairment of non-financial assets |
| The carrying amount of the Company’s assets is reviewed for an indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. If an indication of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. Individual assets are grouped for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Recoverable amount of an asset group is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the asset group and are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. |
| Where the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset group is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. |
| An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized. |

| Any premium received by the Company on the issuance of flow-through shares is initially recorded as a liability and included in trade payables and accrued liabilities. Upon renouncement by the Company of the tax benefits associated with the related expenditures, a deferred tax liability is recognized and the flow-through share premium liability will be reversed. To the extent that suitable deferred tax assets are available, the Company will reduce the deferred tax liability and record a deferred tax recovery. |
3.16 | Related party transactions |
| Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. |
| Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation. |

| By agreement dated 14 July 1999, the Company granted to Kaymin Resources Limited (“Kaymin”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anglo Platinum Limited, an option to earn up to a 65% interest in the Company’s portion of certain properties, including the River Valley property, the Goldwright property, the Frontier property (these claims were allowed to lapse on 12 December 2006), the Washagami property (these claims were allowed to lapse on 10 December 2008), the Razor property and the Western Front property, in the Sudbury Region of Ontario. During a prior year, Kaymin elected to vest its option obtaining a 50% interest in the properties, upon having paid the Company $300,000 (received in a prior year) and advanced and spent in excess of $4,000,000 for exploration on the properties. |
| Kaymin continued to fund exploration under the terms of a joint venture until 2007 and invested over $22 million in the exploration of the property; however, as a result of capital expenditure reductions during the global financial crisis in 2008, no new funds were allocated to the River Valley Project above and beyond the minimal holding costs. |
| By way of a Mineral Interest Assignment Agreement dated for reference 13 December 2010, as amended on 6 April 2011 (the “Assignment Agreement”), the Company completed the purchase of Kaymin’s 50% interest in the River Valley claims, providing the Company with an undivided 100% interest in the River Valley Platinum Group Metals (PGM) Project. Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, Kaymin exchanged its 50% interest in the joint venture, for a 12% interest in the Company, based on the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as of 30 November 2010 (67,543,008 common shares). The aggregate purchase price for the 50% interest in the River Valley PGM project was: |
| - 8,117,161 fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company (issued); and
|
| - Three-year warrants exercisable to purchase 3,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.30 per common share (issued).
|

As consideration, the Company paid $265,000 and issued 600,000 common shares to the optionors. In addition, minimum annual exploration expenditures of $100,000 were completed. The property is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”). The Company, at its option, can purchase up to 2% of the NSR from the vendors for $2,000,000. |

15. | CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
| The Company’s objectives are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the Company’s normal operating requirements, continue the development and exploration of its exploration and evaluation properties. |
| The Company is dependent upon external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and to pay for general administration costs, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. |
| The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach or the Company’s objectives and policies for managing its capital. |

| The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. The Company considers that the carrying amount of all its financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value due to the demand nature or short term maturity of these instruments. |
| The following table provides an analysis of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable. |
| - Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
| - Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
|
| - Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. As at 30 April 2013, the Company does not have any Level 3 financial instruments.

16.3 | Management of financial risks |
| The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. |
| Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. The Company manages its credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by dealing with only with highly-rated financial institutions. As at 30 April 2013, amounts receivable was mainly comprised of Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax receivable and amounts receivable from related entities for shared office and administrative costs (Notes 6 and 17). As a result, credit risk is considered insignificant. |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. As at 30 April 2013, the Company had $848,953 (30 April 2012: $3,440,410) in cash and cash equivalents to settle current liabilities of $75,355 (30 April 2012: $413,715) and, accordingly, liquidity risk is considered insignificant. |
| The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent of its acquisition and exploration expenditures on its US properties and African property. The Company’s expenditures will be negatively impacted if the US dollar increases versus the Canadian dollar. |
| The majority of the Company’s cash flows and financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. |
Page | 42
Pacific North West Capital Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 April 2013 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
| The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposures to foreign currency cash flows by holding most of its cash and cash equivalents in Canadian dollars (Note 5). The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and balance sheet exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
| Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and commodity price risk arising from financial instruments. |
