Note 1 Nature Of Operations And Going Concern | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN | NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Empower Clinics Inc. (“Empower” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on April 28, 2015. The Company is a leading owner and operator of medical cannabis certification clinics and developer of hemp-derived CBD products in the US, focused on enabling individuals to improve and protect their health. This business is conducted through Empower’s wholly-owned Nevada, USA subsidiary, SMAART Holdings Corp., which in turn owns the following subsidiaries: i. Empower Healthcare Corporation (“EHC”) is an Oregon based company that, through its clinics in Oregon, and Washington State, provides physician services to patients in those states. EHC acquired the assets of Presto Quality Care Corporation (“Presto”) on June 12, 2015 and acquired the operations of Presto on July 12, 2015. ii. SMAART Inc. is an Oregon based company that does not have an active business. iii. The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC Oregon”) and The Hemp and Cannabis Company Access Points Oregon (“THCF Access Points Oregon”), These are Oregon based companies that do not have active businesses. iv. The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC Washington”) and The Hemp and Cannabis Company Access Points Washington (“THCF Access Points Washington”), are Washington based companies that do not have active businesses. v. CanMed Solutions Inc., is an Oregon based company that was incorporated on January 27, 2017. The Company does not have an active business. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 918 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8. The Company’s U.S. headquarters are at 105 SE 18 th Reverse takeover On April 23, 2018, the Company completed its previously disclosed reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) of Adira Energy Ltd. (note 5). Following the RTO, on April 30, 2018 the Company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under ticker symbol “EPW” then subsequently changed its ticker symbol on April 10, 2019 to “CBDT”, on the OTC, part of the OTC Markets Group, under the ticker “EPWCF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker “8EC”. On closing of the RTO, the Company’s name was changed from Adira Energy Ltd to Empower Clinics Inc. Share consolidation Going concern At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,070,900 (December 31, 2017 - $5,278,030), has not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated deficit of $9,369,941 (December 31, 2017 - $5,580,023). The Company has limited revenues and the ability of the Company to ensure continuing operations is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise sufficient funds to finance development activities and expand sales. These circumstances represent a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern and do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities. See note 23 for events after the reporting period. |
NOTE 2_ BASIS OF PREPARATION
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Note 2 Basis Of Preparation | |
BASIS OF PREPARATION | NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION a) Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements of Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”) for all periods presented. These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on June 3, 2019. b) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, as specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense as set out in the accounting policies below. c) Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States (“US”) dollars, except as otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. d) Judgements The critical judgements that the Company’s management has made in the application of the accounting policies presented in note 3 that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements are as follows: i. Functional currency The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective entity operates; the Company has determined the functional currency of each entity to be the US dollar. Such determination involves certain judgements to identify the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency of its subsidiaries if there is a change in events and/or conditions which determine the primary economic environment. ii. Assessment of indicators of impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators, from external and internal sources of information, that an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) may be impaired, thereby requiring adjustment to the carrying value. The Company identified the sustained decrease in market capitalization as an indicator of impairment during the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of these impairment indicators, the Company assessed the intangible assets and assets held for sale CGUs for impairment and concluded the recoverable value of each CGU was less than its carrying value and an impairment loss was recognized on intangible assets and assets held for sale. iii. Revenue recognition as a result of adopting IFRS 15 a. Determination of performance obligations The Company applied judgement to determine if a good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources and whether the good or service is separately identifiable. Based on these criteria, the Company determined the primary performance obligation relating to its sales contracts is the delivery of the medical services. b. Transfer of control Judgement is required to determine when transfer of control occurs relating to the medical services to its customers. Management based its assessment on a number of indicators of control, which include, but are not limited to whether the Company has present right of payment, and whether the physical possession of the goods, significant risks and rewards and legal title have been transferred to the customer. e) Significant estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised. Areas that require significant estimates and assumptions as the basis for determining the stated amounts include, but are not limited to, the following: i. Current and deferred taxes (note 17) The Company’s provision for income taxes is estimated based on the expected annual effective tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The current and deferred components of income taxes are estimated based on forecasted movements in temporary differences. Changes to the expected annual effective tax rate and differences between the actual and expected effective tax rate and between actual and forecasted movements in temporary differences will result in adjustments to the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period changes are made and/or differences are identified. In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows from operations are based on patient visits, which are internally developed and reviewed by management. Weight is attached to tax planning opportunities that are within the Company’s control, and are feasible and implementable without significant obstacles. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence. i. Equity-settled share-based payments (note 14) Share-based payments are measured at fair value. Options and warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on estimated fair values of all share-based awards at the date of grant and are expensed to earnings or loss from operations over each award’s vesting period. The Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the option. Changes in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate. ii. Contingencies (note 22) Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters can arise from time to time. In the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters’ changes, the Company will recognize the effects of the changes in its consolidated financial statements for the period in which such changes occur. f) Reclassification of prior year amounts The Company has reclassified certain immaterial items on the comparative consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss to improve clarity. |

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2018 | |
Disclosure of voluntary change in accounting policy [abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES New and amended IFRS standards that are effective for the year ended December 31, 2018 i. Financial instruments On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standard: · IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company's business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments for principal and interest. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9. The change did not impact the carrying amounts of any of the Company’s financial assets on transition date. · The adoption of the new "expected credit loss" impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39, had a negligible impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets on the transition date given the Company transacts exclusively with large established commodity trading firms and other organizations with strong credit ratings and the negligible historical level of customer default. · The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms previously available under IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been replaced with the principle of an "economic relationship". Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management activities have also been introduced. The Company had not designated any of its financial instruments as hedges as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, or upon adoption of IFRS 9. ii. Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue IFRS 15 requires entities to recognize revenue when ‘control’ of goods or services transfers to the customer whereas the previous standard, IAS 18, required entities to recognize revenue when the ‘risks and rewards’ of the goods or services transfer to the customer. The Company concluded there is no change in the timing of revenue recognition of its patient revenue under IFRS 15 compared to the previous standard as the point of transfer of risks and rewards of goods and services and transfer of control occur at the same time. As such, no adjustment was required to the Company's financial statements. Additionally, IFRS 15 requires entities to apportion the transaction price attributable to contracts from customers to distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company has evaluated its sales agreements and concluded the delivery of patient services is the only performance obligation in the contracts and accordingly there was no change in the amount or timing of revenue recognition under the new standard. iii. Other narrow scope amendments/interpretations The Company has adopted amendments to IFRS 2 - Share Based Payments Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows: a) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries disclosed in note 1. All inter-company balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation. On April 16, 2018, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with Adira Energy Ltd. The transaction was structured as a series of transactions, including a Canadian three-cornered amalgamation transaction as explained further in note 5. As a result of these reorganizations described above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. b) Foreign currency translation In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Exchange gains and losses are recognized on a net basis in earnings or loss from operations for the period. c) Cash Cash consists of cash at banks and on hand. d) Property and equipment Equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the estimated site reclamation and closure costs associated with removing the asset, and, where applicable, borrowing costs. Upon sale or abandonment of any equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are written off and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in profit or loss for the period. When the parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. The cost of replacing or overhauling a component of an item of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. Maintenance and repairs of a routine nature are charged to profit or loss as incurred. e) Intangible assets Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the intangible asset to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and, where applicable, borrowing costs. Upon sale or abandonment of any intangible asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are written off and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in profit or loss for the period. f) Depreciation Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the following terms: Building 15 years Equipment 3 years Furniture 5 years Computer software and equipment 3 years Office furniture and equipment 3 years Patient records 5 years Trademarks 5 years Domain names 5 years Management software 5 years As at December 31, 2018, tenant improvements were not available for use and therefore no amortization has been taken. Depreciation commences on the date the asset is available for use. An asset’s residual value, useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. g) Assets held for sale Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are h) Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where: · by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and, · as a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect management’s current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Provisions are reduced by actual expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The accretion of the discount is charged to profit or loss for the period. i) Convertible debentures The convertible debentures were determined to be compound instruments, comprising liability and equity (common shares and warrants). As the debentures are convertible into common shares, the liability and equity components are presented separately. The initial carrying amount of the equity component of the convertible debentures is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value the equity component at the grant date. Using the residual method, the carrying amount of the financial liability component is the difference between the principal amount and the initial carrying value of the equity component. The equity component, and any associated warrants recognized on conversion of the convertible debenture are recorded in reserves on the statement of financial position. The debentures, net of the equity components are accreted using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debentures, such that the carrying amount of the financial liability will equal the principal balance at maturity. j) Share-based payments Certain employees and directors of the Company receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of share options. The fair value of the share options, determined at the date of the grant, is charged to profit or loss, with an offsetting credit to share-based payment reserve, over the vesting period. If and when the share options are exercised, the applicable original amounts of share-based payment reserve are transferred to issued capital. The fair value of a share-based payment is determined at the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of share options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option and share price volatility. The expected term of options granted is determined based on historical data on the average hold period before exercise, expiry or cancellation. Expected volatility is estimated with reference to the historical volatility of the share price of the Company. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgement. The costs of share-based payments are recognized over the vesting period of the option. The total amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of options expected to vest at each reporting date. At each reporting date prior to vesting, the cumulative compensation expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has passed and management’s best estimate of the share options that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in profit or loss with a corresponding entry to share-based payment reserve. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued if it is determined that the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. No expense is recognized for share options that do not ultimately vest. Charges for share options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from share-based payment reserve and credited to profit or loss. For those share options that expire unexercised after vesting, the recorded value remains in share-based payment reserve. k) Share purchase warrants Share purchase warrants are classified as a derivative liability under the principles of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments Financial Instruments: Presentation These types of share purchase warrants are recognized at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the listed trading price at the date of issue. Share purchase warrants are initially recorded as a liability at fair value with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Upon exercise of the share purchase warrants with exercise prices in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the share purchase warrants are revalued at the date of exercise and the total fair value of the exercised share purchase warrants is reallocated to equity. The proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to equity. l) Issued capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity. Share issue costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issue costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs and any tax effects. Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair market value based upon the trading price of the Company’s shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the date of the agreement to issue the shares or the date of share issuance, whichever is more appropriate. The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a prorated basis on relative fair values as follows: the fair value of common shares is based on the market close on the date the units are issued; and the fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. m) Financial Instruments Implementation In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward looking “expected loss” impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company has changed its accounting policy for financial instruments retrospectively, for financial instruments that were recognized at the date of application, which was January 1, 2018. The change did not impact the carry value of any financial instruments on this date. In implementing IFRS 9, the Company updated the financial instruments classification within its accounting policy. The following table shows the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9: Financial assets and Original classification New classification and liabilities under IAS 39 under IFRS 9 Cash Loans and receivables Financial assets at amortized cost Trade receivables Loans and receivables Financial assets at amortized cost Accounts payable Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost Long-term debt Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost The Company recognizes financial assets and liabilities on its consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contract creating the asset or liability. On initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities are recorded by the Company at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL for which transaction costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. n) Financial assets Classification of financial assets Amortized cost: Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortized cost: · The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and · The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. The Company has classified cash and trade receivables as amortized cost. Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"): Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured at FVTOCI: · The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and, · The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments designated as FVTOCI. Equity instruments designated as FVTOCI: On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other OCI. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity instrument, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings. The Company does not currently hold any equity instruments designated as FVTOCI. Financial assets measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss: By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at FVTPL. The Company, at initial recognition, may also irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases. Financial assets measured at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognized in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The Company's financial assets at FVTPL include the assets held for sale (note 8). o) Financial liabilities and equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. Classification of financial liabilities Financial liabilities that are not contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading or designated as at FVTPL, are measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. p) Financial instruments designated as hedging instruments The Company does not currently apply nor have a past practice of applying hedge accounting to financial instruments q) Impairment The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments. r) Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists such as an increase in operating costs, a decrease in the number of patient visits or a change in foreign exchange rate, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. In determining the recoverable amount, the Company also considers the net carrying amount of the asset, the ongoing costs required to maintain and operate the asset, and the use, value and condition of the asset. Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent with other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. This generally results in the Company evaluating its non-financial assets on a property by property basis. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the asset’s value in use. Fair value is determined with reference to discounted estimated future cash flow analysis or to recent transactions involving dispositions of similar properties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows measured on a value in use basis reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as a charge to profit or loss. Non-financial assets that have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment may have reversed. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depletion and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of impairment is recognized as a gain in profit or loss. s) Taxes i. Current tax expense Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable earnings or loss for the period. Current tax for each taxable entity in the Company is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous periods. ii. Deferred tax expense Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method, providing for the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting earnings nor taxable earnings or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forwards of unused tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized, except where the deferred tax asset related to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting earnings nor taxable earnings or loss. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be utilized. To the extent that an asset not previously recognized fulfills the criteria for recognition, a deferred tax asset is recorded. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Current and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in earnings or loss. t) Earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) of the Company by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the proceeds from the potential exercise of dilutive share options and share purchase warrants with exercise prices that are below the average market price of the underlying shares are assumed to be used in purchasing the Company’s common shares at their average market price for the period. Share options and share purchase warrants are included in the calculation of diluted EPS only to the extent that the market price of the common shares exceeds the exercise price of the share options or share purchase warrants except where such conversion would be anti-dilutive. u) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services rendered, stated net of discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities, as described below. The Company recognizes revenue from the rendering of patient services in the accounting period in which the physician’s services are rendered. v) 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 or common significant influence, 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. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE 4: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Certain pronouncements were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2018. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded from this note. The following pronouncements have been issued but are not yet effective: i. In January 2016, the IASB published a new accounting standard, IFRS 16 - Leases Leases Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company expects to record a material balance of right of use assets and associated lease liabilities related to leases with a term of 12 months or more previously classified as operating leases on the consolidated statements of financial position at January 1, 2019. Due to the recognition of additional lease assets and liabilities, a higher amount of depreciation expense and interest expense on lease assets and liabilities, respectively, will be recorded under IFRS 16 compared to the current standard. Additionally, a corresponding reduction in production costs is expected. Lastly, the Company expects a positive impact on operating cash flows with a corresponding increase in financing cash outflows under IFRS 16. The Company has not quantified these impacts. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying IFRS |

THE TRANSACTION | NOTE 5: THE TRANSACTION On April 23, 2018, S.M.A.A.R.T Holdings Inc (“SMAART”) completed the acquisition with Adira Energy Ltd. (“Adira”), pursuant to which SMAART amalgamated with 1149770 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adira, to form Empower Healthcare Corporation, resulting in the indirect acquisition by SMAART of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Adira (the “Transaction”). This resulted in a reverse takeover of Adira by the shareholders of Empower Healthcare Corporation. In connection with the Transaction completed on April 16, 2018, the Company changed its name from “Adira Energy Ltd.” to “Empower Clinics Inc.” and consolidated its existing common shares on the basis of one common share for each 6.726254 existing common shares of the Company. At the time of the Transaction, Adira did not constitute a business as defined under IFRS 3; therefore, the Transaction was accounted for under IFRS 2, where the difference between the consideration given to acquire Adira and the net asset value of Adira was recorded as a listing fee expense to net loss. As Empower Healthcare Corporation was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, these consolidated financial statements present the historical financial information of Adira up to the date of the Transaction. Consideration - shares $ 614,415 Legal and professional fees relating to the Transaction 365,871 Net liabilities acquired 328,522 Listing fee $ 1,308,808 Fair value of the net assets (liabilities) of Adira Cash $ 13,000 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (341,522 ) $ (328,522 ) The fair value of 2,544,075 issued common shares of the Company was estimated using C$0.31 ($0.24) per share. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT | NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT a) Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities The Company has established a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs of valuation techniques used in making fair value measurements as follows: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, none of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured and recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value with the exception of the conversion feature liability (note 12) and warrant liability (note 13). The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, share subscriptions and amounts due to related parties approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above with the exception of the conversion feature liability (note 12) and warrant liability (note 13), which are a Level 3 fair value measurement. b) Risk Management The Company examines its various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. The risks may include credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Company’s risk management program strives to evaluate the unpredictability of financial markets and its objective is to minimize the potential adverse effects of such risks on the Company’s financial performance., where financially feasible to do so. When deemed material, these risks may be monitored by the Company’s finance group and they are regularly discussed with the Board of Directors. a) Credit risk Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes and cash amounts owed to the Company by these counterparties, less and amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of offset exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s credit risk is predominantly related to cash balances held in financial institutions and amounts receivable from credit card processor. The maximum exposure to the credit risk is equal to the carrying value of such financial assets. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company expects to recover the full amount of such assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to minimize potential losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the quality of its counterparties, taking into account their credit worthiness and reputation, past performance and other factors. Cash is only deposited with or held by major financial institutions where the Company conducts its business. In order to manage credit and liquidity risk, the Company invests only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of one year or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rating. b) Currency risk The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar and therefore the Company’s income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are impacted by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the US dollar. The table below summarizes the net monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies: As at December 31, 2018 2017 Canadian dollar net monetary liabilities $ 171,578 $ 420,704 $ 171,578 $ 420,704 c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and its expansion plans. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and performs business activities that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The Company has no concentrations of liquidity risk. A summary of future operating commitments is presented in note 22. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash balance of $157,668 and current liabilities of $3,258,043. (December 31, 2017 - $nil and $5,436,664 respectively). The Company’s current resources are not sufficient to settle its current liabilities. d) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. |

In the event that management’s estimate of the future resolution of these matters changes, the Company will recognize the effects of these changes in the consolidated financial statements in the period such changes occur. Contingent liabilities The Company is involved in a number of legal actions with the former President and director of its subsidiary companies (the “Litigant”) following the termination for cause of the Litigant in June 2016. In one action, as the Litigant refused to comply with the termination, the Company received a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) requiring the Litigant to comply with the termination and cease using company property. Later, following a full evidentiary hearing, the court issued a preliminary injunction consistent with the TRO. In June 2017, the Litigant, filed counterclaims against the Company and its subsidiaries. The Litigant’s counterclaims broadly allege that his written agreements with the Company and its subsidiaries were induced by fraud or mistake. He claims he believed he was promised that he would own 50% of the Company in perpetuity, and that his lack of control over the Company and its subsidiaries has caused him economic harm in the amount of $10 million. The Litigant seeks money damages or rescission of the agreements. In a second action, the Litigant filed a lawsuit on behalf of The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (“THCF”) for rescission of an agreement whereby THCF sold a parcel of residential real estate to one of the subsidiaries, The Hemp and Cannabis Company (“THCC”). In that case, THCF claims THCC has failed to make payments on a note. THCF’s lawyer has withdrawn, and THCF has not hired replacement counsel. The Company and its subsidiaries are prosecuting their claims against the Litigant, and are vigorously defending against all of his counterclaims and no liability has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. On April 23, 2019, both actions were ordered dismissed without prejudice. |

Disclosure of voluntary change in accounting policy [abstract] | |
Basis of consolidation | a) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries disclosed in note 1. All inter-company balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation. On April 16, 2018, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with Adira Energy Ltd. The transaction was structured as a series of transactions, including a Canadian three-cornered amalgamation transaction as explained further in note 5. As a result of these reorganizations described above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. |
Foreign currency translation | b) Foreign currency translation In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Exchange gains and losses are recognized on a net basis in earnings or loss from operations for the period. |
Cash | c) Cash Cash consists of cash at banks and on hand. |
Property and equipment | d) Property and equipment Equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the estimated site reclamation and closure costs associated with removing the asset, and, where applicable, borrowing costs. Upon sale or abandonment of any equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are written off and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in profit or loss for the period. When the parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. The cost of replacing or overhauling a component of an item of equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. Maintenance and repairs of a routine nature are charged to profit or loss as incurred. |
Intangible assets | e) Intangible assets Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the intangible asset to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and, where applicable, borrowing costs. Upon sale or abandonment of any intangible asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are written off and any gains or losses thereon are recognized in profit or loss for the period. |
Depreciation | f) Depreciation Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the following terms: Building 15 years Equipment 3 years Furniture 5 years Computer software and equipment 3 years Office furniture and equipment 3 years Patient records 5 years Trademarks 5 years Domain names 5 years Management software 5 years As at December 31, 2018, tenant improvements were not available for use and therefore no amortization has been taken. Depreciation commences on the date the asset is available for use. An assetÂ’s residual value, useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the equipment and are recognized in profit or loss. |
Assets held for sale | g) Assets held for sale Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are |
Provisions | h) Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where: · by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and, · as a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect management’s current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Provisions are reduced by actual expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The accretion of the discount is charged to profit or loss for the period. |
Convertible debentures | i) Convertible debentures The convertible debentures were determined to be compound instruments, comprising liability and equity (common shares and warrants). As the debentures are convertible into common shares, the liability and equity components are presented separately. The initial carrying amount of the equity component of the convertible debentures is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value the equity component at the grant date. Using the residual method, the carrying amount of the financial liability component is the difference between the principal amount and the initial carrying value of the equity component. The equity component, and any associated warrants recognized on conversion of the convertible debenture are recorded in reserves on the statement of financial position. The debentures, net of the equity components are accreted using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debentures, such that the carrying amount of the financial liability will equal the principal balance at maturity. |
Share-based payments | j) Share-based payments Certain employees and directors of the Company receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of share options. The fair value of the share options, determined at the date of the grant, is charged to profit or loss, with an offsetting credit to share-based payment reserve, over the vesting period. If and when the share options are exercised, the applicable original amounts of share-based payment reserve are transferred to issued capital. The fair value of a share-based payment is determined at the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of share options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option and share price volatility. The expected term of options granted is determined based on historical data on the average hold period before exercise, expiry or cancellation. Expected volatility is estimated with reference to the historical volatility of the share price of the Company. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of managementÂ’s judgement. The costs of share-based payments are recognized over the vesting period of the option. The total amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of options expected to vest at each reporting date. At each reporting date prior to vesting, the cumulative compensation expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has passed and managementÂ’s best estimate of the share options that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in profit or loss with a corresponding entry to share-based payment reserve. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued if it is determined that the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. No expense is recognized for share options that do not ultimately vest. Charges for share options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from share-based payment reserve and credited to profit or loss. For those share options that expire unexercised after vesting, the recorded value remains in share-based payment reserve. |
Share purchase warrants | k) Share purchase warrants Share purchase warrants are classified as a derivative liability under the principles of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments Financial Instruments: Presentation These types of share purchase warrants are recognized at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the listed trading price at the date of issue. Share purchase warrants are initially recorded as a liability at fair value with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Upon exercise of the share purchase warrants with exercise prices in a currency other than the CompanyÂ’s functional currency, the share purchase warrants are revalued at the date of exercise and the total fair value of the exercised share purchase warrants is reallocated to equity. The proceeds generated from the payment of the exercise price are also allocated to equity. |
Issued capital | l) Issued capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity. Share issue costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issue costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs and any tax effects. Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair market value based upon the trading price of the CompanyÂ’s shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the date of the agreement to issue the shares or the date of share issuance, whichever is more appropriate. The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a prorated basis on relative fair values as follows: the fair value of common shares is based on the market close on the date the units are issued; and the fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. |
Financial Instruments | m) Financial Instruments Implementation In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward looking “expected loss” impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company has changed its accounting policy for financial instruments retrospectively, for financial instruments that were recognized at the date of application, which was January 1, 2018. The change did not impact the carry value of any financial instruments on this date. In implementing IFRS 9, the Company updated the financial instruments classification within its accounting policy. The following table shows the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9: Financial assets and Original classification New classification and liabilities under IAS 39 under IFRS 9 Cash Loans and receivables Financial assets at amortized cost Trade receivables Loans and receivables Financial assets at amortized cost Accounts payable Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost Long-term debt Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost The Company recognizes financial assets and liabilities on its consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contract creating the asset or liability. On initial recognition, all financial assets and liabilities are recorded by the Company at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL for which transaction costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. |
Financial assets | n) Financial assets Classification of financial assets Amortized cost: Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortized cost: · The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and · The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. The Company has classified cash and trade receivables as amortized cost. Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"): Financial assets that meet the following conditions are measured at FVTOCI: · The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and, · The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments designated as FVTOCI. Equity instruments designated as FVTOCI: On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other OCI. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity instrument, instead, it is transferred to retained earnings. The Company does not currently hold any equity instruments designated as FVTOCI. Financial assets measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss: By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at FVTPL. The Company, at initial recognition, may also irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases. Financial assets measured at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognized in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The Company's financial assets at FVTPL include the assets held for sale (note 8). |
Financial liabilities and equity | o) Financial liabilities and equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the CompanyÂ’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the CompanyÂ’s own equity instruments. Classification of financial liabilities Financial liabilities that are not contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading or designated as at FVTPL, are measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. |
Financial instruments designated as hedging instruments | p) Financial instruments designated as hedging instruments The Company does not currently apply nor have a past practice of applying hedge accounting to financial instruments |
Impairment | q) Impairment The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments. |
Impairment of non-financial assets | r) Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists such as an increase in operating costs, a decrease in the number of patient visits or a change in foreign exchange rate, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. In determining the recoverable amount, the Company also considers the net carrying amount of the asset, the ongoing costs required to maintain and operate the asset, and the use, value and condition of the asset. Where the asset does not generate cash inflows that are independent with other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. This generally results in the Company evaluating its non-financial assets on a property by property basis. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the asset’s value in use. Fair value is determined with reference to discounted estimated future cash flow analysis or to recent transactions involving dispositions of similar properties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows measured on a value in use basis reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as a charge to profit or loss. Non-financial assets that have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment may have reversed. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depletion and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of impairment is recognized as a gain in profit or loss. |
Taxes | s) Taxes i. Current tax expense Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable earnings or loss for the period. Current tax for each taxable entity in the Company is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous periods. ii. Deferred tax expense Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method, providing for the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting earnings nor taxable earnings or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forwards of unused tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized, except where the deferred tax asset related to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting earnings nor taxable earnings or loss. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be utilized. To the extent that an asset not previously recognized fulfills the criteria for recognition, a deferred tax asset is recorded. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Current and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in earnings or loss. |
Earnings (loss) per share | t) Earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) of the Company by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the proceeds from the potential exercise of dilutive share options and share purchase warrants with exercise prices that are below the average market price of the underlying shares are assumed to be used in purchasing the Company’s common shares at their average market price for the period. Share options and share purchase warrants are included in the calculation of diluted EPS only to the extent that the market price of the common shares exceeds the exercise price of the share options or share purchase warrants except where such conversion would be anti-dilutive. |
Revenue recognition | u) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services rendered, stated net of discounts. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities, as described below. The Company recognizes revenue from the rendering of patient services in the accounting period in which the physicianÂ’s services are rendered. |
Related party transactions | v) 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 or common significant influence, 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. |
