Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |

(Expressed in Canadian dollars) |

1. | Nature of operations and going concern |
Bridgeport Ventures Inc. (the “Company” or "Bridgeport") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation dated May 10, 2007. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. Bridgeport has operations in Latin America, the United States and Canada. The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration properties for mineral resources and has not determined whether the properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The primary office of the Company is located at 36 Toronto St. Suite 1000, Toronto, ON. M5C 2C5.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2012.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. The Company has incurred losses in the current and prior periods, with a net loss of $2,716,858 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and has an accumulated deficit of $11,864,618 to January 31, 2012 (April 30, 2011 -$9,485,653). These circumstances cast doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the ultimate use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its obtaining additional financing and eventually achieving profitable production in the future. The Company is currently evaluating various options in order to address its financing needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing activities will continue to be successful or sufficient.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2011 and the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended July 31, 2011.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the Company's third unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB and have been prepared on the basis of IFRS standards that are expected to be effective or available for early adoption by the Company on April 30, 2012, the Company's first annual reporting date under IFRS. The Company has made certain assumptions about the accounting policies expected to be adopted when the first IFRS annual financial statements are prepared for the year ended April 30, 2012.

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
(a) | Statement of compliance (continued) |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2011 and in consideration of the IFRS transition disclosures included in Note 18 to these financial statements and the additional annual disclosures required under IFRS included in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended July 31, 2011.
(b) | New accounting standards and interpretations |
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB ("International Accounting Standard Board") or the IFRIC ("International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee") that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2010 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded from the table below. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.
(i) IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IASB has proposed to move the effective date of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2015.
(ii) IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements (“IFRS 10”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 10 is a new standard which identifies the concept of control as the determining factor in assessing whether an entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. Control is comprised of three elements: power over an investee; exposure to variable returns from an investee; and the ability to use power to affect the reporting entity’s returns. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted.
(iii) IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements (“IFRS 11”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 11 is a new standard which focuses on classifying joint arrangements by their rights and obligations rather than their legal form. Entities are classified into two groups: parties having rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement, and rights to the net assets of an arrangement. Entities in the former case account for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with the arrangement, whereas entities in the latter case account for the arrangement using the equity method. IFRS 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.
(iv) IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities (“IFRS 12”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 12 is a new standard which provides disclosure requirements for entities reporting interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, special purpose vehicles, and off balance sheet vehicles. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
(b) | New accounting standards and interpretations (continued) |
(v) IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement (“IFRS 13”) was issued by the IASB in May 2011. IFRS 13 is a new standard which provides a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement considerations for use across IFRSs. The key points of IFRS 13 are as follows:
- fair value is measured using the price in a principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market;
- financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risks can be measured on the basis of an entity’s net risk exposure;
- disclosures regarding the fair value hierarchy has been moved from IFRS 7 to IFRS 13, and further guidance has been added to the determination of classes of assets and liabilities;
- a quantitative sensitivity analysis must be provided for financial instruments measured at fair value;
- a narrative must be provided discussing the sensitivity of fair value measurements categorised under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to significant unobservable inputs;
- and information must be provided on an entity’s valuation processes for fair value measurements categorized under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted.
(vi) IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements (“IAS 1”) was amended by the IASB in June 2011 in order to align the presentation of items in other comprehensive income with US GAAP standards. Items in other comprehensive income will be required to be presented in two categories: items that will be reclassified into profit or loss and those that will not be reclassified. The flexibility to present a statement of comprehensive income as one statement or two separate statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income remains unchanged. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
3. | Capital risk management |
The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:
- to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of accretive acquisitions; and
- to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.
The Company monitors its capital structure and actively makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, repurchasing outstanding shares, adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. As discussed in Note 1, the Company's ability to continue to carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.
The Company manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities. The forecast is updated based on activities related to its mineral properties. Relevant information is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012.
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution.

4. | Financial risk management |
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign currency risk and commodity and equity price risk). Financial risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. There have been no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous period.
(i) Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, high interest savings accounts and certificates of deposit at select Canadian financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Financial assets included in amounts receivable consist of goods and services tax and harmonized sales tax due from the Government of Canada and deposits with service providers. Amounts receivable are in good standing as of January 31, 2012. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to the financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable is remote.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at January 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,223,372 (April 30, 2011 - $22,870,894) to settle current liabilities of $121,782 (April 30, 2011 - $1,046,868). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity. As discussed on Note 1, the Company’s ability to continually meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash and cash equivalents and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in high interest savings accounts and investment-grade certificates of deposit issued by its Canadian financial institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its Canadian financial institutions. Currently, the Company does not hedge against interest rate risk.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and purchases are transacted in Canadian and US dollars and Chilean pesos.

(c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, as they relate to gold and copper, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. As the Company's mineral properties are in the exploration stage, the Company does not hedge against commodity price risk. The Company's available-for-sale investment in Gondwana Gold Inc. ("Gondwana") and investment in Orsa Ventures Corp. ("Orsa") are subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the equity and commodity markets.
Sensitivity analysis
Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a six month period:
(i) Cash equivalents are subject to floating interest rates. As at January 31, 2012, if interest rates had decreased/increased by 1% with all other variables held constant, the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 would have been approximately $137,000 higher/lower, as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash equivalents.

(iii) Market risk (continued)
Sensitivity analysis (continued)
(ii) The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations of financial instruments that are denominated in US dollars and the Chilean peso related to cash balances, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 5% change in the foreign exchange rate with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.
(iii) The Company's available-for-sale investments in the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa are subject to fair value fluctuations. As at January 31, 2012, a plus or minus 10% change in the bid price of the common shares of Gondwana and Orsa with all other variables held constant would not have a significant impact on the comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and the reported equity as at January 31, 2012.

(a) McCart Township
On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two mining claims (the “Claims”) located near McCart Township, Ontario. The Claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”). To acquire this interest, the Company is required to:
- Make a cash payment of $5,000 (paid); and
- Issue 150,000 common shares of the Company (issued and valued at $19,500).
Effective July 29, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 common shares in partial satisfaction of its obligations to acquire 100% interest in the McCart Township Claims. The value of the 150,000 common shares was calculated by applying the unit price of $0.13 pursuant to the initial public offering of the Company.
At anytime after the commencement of commercial production, the Company has the right to purchase 1% of the 2% NSR for $1,000,000.
During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company acquired three additional mining claims located in the same Township subject to a 1% NSR (50% of which the Company has the right to purchase for $1,000,000), for cash consideration of $nil. Subsequent to the April 30, 2011, these three claims were cancelled.
On August 24, 2010, Bridgeport granted to Gondwana an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the McCart Property. Gondwana may earn an initial 50% interest in the McCart Property by satisfying the following commitments:
(i) making an initial cash payment to Bridgeport in the amount of $20,000 (received);
(ii) issuing an aggregate of 1,050,000 common shares (400,000 issued) to Bridgeport in tranches over a three year period; and
(iii) incurring an aggregate of $400,000 in exploration expenditures on the McCart Property in tranches over a three year period.
Gondwana may earn an additional 20% interest in the McCart Property (for a total 70% interest) in the event it completes a bankable feasibility study within three years of earning its 50% interest.
On August 24, 2010, Bridgeport received $20,000 cash and 400,000 common shares of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The 400,000 common shares received were valued at $80,000 on August 24, 2010. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the 400,000 common shares of Gondwana were sold for cash proceeds of $191,182 resulting in a gain on disposal of $111,182.
On August 17, 2011, the Company signed an amending letter agreement (the "Amending Agreement") with Gondwana to extend the time by which the Commitments must be satisfied until February 20, 2012 in exchange for an additional 25,000 Gondwana shares to be issued to Bridgeport.
On February 15, 2012, Gondwana terminated its option on the McCart property. The Company is evaluating its alternatives for the McCart property on a going forward basis.
On October 25, 2011, Bridgeport received the 25,000 common shares of Gondwana in accordance with the terms of the Amending Agreement. The 25,000 common shares received were valued at $10,125 on October 25, 2011 based on the bid price on October 25, 2011. As of January 31, 2012, the bid price of Gondwana was $0.40 resulting in a unrealized loss of $250 which was recorded in other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. At January 31, 2012, the shares of Gondwana were valued at $9,875 using the bid price of the security.

(b) Trillador Property
On July 5, 2010, the Company executed a letter of intent which provides that the Company would enter into an option agreement with an arm's length party to acquire a 100% interest in the Trillador property through its subsidiary, Rio Condor Resources S.A. ("Rio Condor"). Under the terms of the proposed agreement with the property owners, the Company would be required to pay US$1.5 million over five years in order to acquire a 100% interest in the Trillador property. This acquisition was royalty free.
On August 27, 2010, the Trillador letter of intent was modified, whereby US$25,000 was required on signing (paid) as an advance payment of the first installment of the option agreement price. This amendment allowed Rio Condor a 120 business day grace period. As of January 31, 2011 (“Date of Closing”) the option agreement was executed and payment of US$25,000 was made (completing the total amount of the first installment of US$50,000). The option agreement was subsequently finalized. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1.5 million were due as follows:

$ | 1,500,000 |
(1) US$50,000 Canadian equivalent equals $51,795.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Company decided to terminate the Trillador Property and Tamara Property option agreements and as a result, a total of $1,090,495 of exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures and related receivables were written off during the nine months ended January 31, 2012.
(c) SOESMI Property
Pursuant to an agreement entered into on December 3, 2009, Rio Condor would have paid US$1,000,000 over three years to acquire a 100% interest in the SOESMI mining concessions, which are contiguous to the concessions comprising the Rosario Property. The SOESMI claim group was subject to a 2% NSR that could be purchased for US$1,000,000. US$75,000 ($79,020) was paid on closing. In addition, in accordance with the payment terms, a further US$50,000 ($52,590) was paid on June 3, 2010. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1,000,000 were due as follows:

(d) Simonetta Property
Subsequent to Bridgeport’s acquisition of Rio Condor, pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 23, 2010, Rio Condor would have paid US$1,000,000 over four years to acquire a 100% interest in the Simonetta mining concessions, which are contiguous to the concessions comprising the Rosario Property. This acquisition was royalty free. US$30,000 ($30,782) was paid on closing. Cash payments in the aggregate of US$1,000,000 were due as follows:
US$ | ||||||
Date of signing the agreement | $ | 30,000 | (paid) | |||

$ | 1,000,000 |
The Company paid $10,359 (US$10,000) during the year ended April 30, 2011 relating to the Simonetta option agreement. Subsequent to the payment, through a letter and a public deed, both dated on February 7, 2011, Rio Condor provided notice to the owner of the Simonetta property that the payment due January 23, 2011 (US$65,000) and subsequent payments would not be made. As a result, Rio Condor's rights in respect of such property were forfeited and costs of $554,473 associated with the project were written off during the year ended April 30, 2011.
(e) Rosario Project
The Company had an option to pay US$10.4 million over a four year period to acquire a 100% interest in the properties known as the Rosario property (which includes the concessions known as the Rosario, Julia, Eliana I, Eliana II and Eliana III mining concessions) and the Tamara property. The Rosario property is subject to a 2% NSR which may be purchased for US$2 million. Tamara is royalty free. The Company was required to pay a total commission or management fee of US$500,000 over the same four year period. The vendors of Rosario and Eliana I were entitled to excavate a total of 6,000 tons per month from the property until the last payment is made.
The Company had focused its exploration efforts on the Rosario property, and based on the assay results, style of copper mineralization, and discontinuity of the zones, management decided that the property did not have the size potential for the Company to make a significant copper-gold discovery of 100 million tonnes or more. Accordingly, Bridgeport decided to terminate its rights to the Rosario, Eliana I, II and III, and Julia mining concessions, which decision was carried out by not making the November 5, 2010 property payment of US$720,000. As a result, Rio Condor's rights in respect of such properties were forfeited and costs of $3,309,120 associated with the project were written-off during the year ended April 30, 2011.
The Company had retained its rights to the Tamara property. During the year ended April 30, 2011, the Company paid $56,111 (US$50,000) pursuant to the agreement relating to the Tamara property. The Company was entitled to maintain its rights to the Tamara property by making the following cash payments:

(f) Nevada Portfolio
On November 16, 2010, Bridgeport acquired from Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”) a 100% interest in certain mineral properties and a 50% leasehold interest in one property, in Nevada, USA. The properties are subject to a NSR of up to 3%. On November 16, 2010, Bridgeport issued to Fronteer 4.5 million common shares (valued atapproximately $5.2 million (see Note 11(b)(ii)) in consideration of the acquisition. In addition to the properties acquired from Fronteer, Bridgeport has staked additional claims adjacent to the properties and intends to continue with its land acquisition effort.
(g) Option Agreement with Orsa Ventures Corp.
On July 19, 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Orsa whereby Orsa can earn a 51% interest in Bridgeport’s Ashby Gold Property in Nevada through phased exploration expenditures, share payments and a cash payment to Bridgeport. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Orsa has the option (the "First Option") to earn up to a 49% interest in the Ashby Property by:
a. | issuing to Bridgeport or its nominee an aggregate of 100,000 common shares of Orsa within three business days of receipt by Orsa of the approval by the TSX Venture Exchange of the Option Agreement; | |
b. | incurring an aggregate of $150,000 of exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within one year of the date of the Option Agreement; and | |
c. | incurring $300,000 of cumulative exploration expenditures on the Ashby Property within two years of the date of the Option Agreement. |
If Orsa exercises the First Option and acquires a 49% interest in the Ashby Property, it will have the option (the "Second Option") to acquire a further 2% interest in the Ashby Property (for an aggregate 51% interest) by paying Bridgeport $100,000 in cash and issuing to Bridgeport common shares having an aggregate value of $100,000 within a 90 day period.
Following the exercise of the First Option, and if applicable, the Second Option, Orsa and Bridgeport will form a joint venture for further exploration and development of the Ashby Property. If Orsa has exercised the Second Option, it will hold a 51% interest in the joint venture and will be the operator of the joint venture. If Orsa has not exercised the Second Option, Orsa will hold a 49% interest in the joint venture and Bridgeport will become the operator.

January 31, 2012 and 2011 |

18. | Conversion to IFRS |
(i) | Overview |
As stated in significant accounting policies (note 2), these are the Company’s third unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The policies set out in the significant accounting policies section in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2011 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and in the preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position at May 1, 2010 (the "Transition Date").
(ii) | First-time adoption of IFRS |
The adoption of IFRS requires the application of IFRS 1, which provides guidance for an entity’s initial adoption of IFRS. IFRS 1 generally requires retrospective application of IFRS as effective at the end of its first annual IFRS reporting period. However, IFRS 1 also provides certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to this retrospective treatment.
The Company has elected to apply the following optional exemption in its preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at May 1, 2010.
- To apply IFRS 3 Business Combination only to past business combinations that occurred after the date of transition to IFRS (May 1, 2010).
- To apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments only to equity instruments that were issued after November 7, 2002 and had not vested by the Transition Date.
IFRS 1 does not permit changes to estimates that have been made previously. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s opening IFRS statement of financial position as at the Transition Date are consistent with those that were made under Canadian GAAP.
(iii) | Changes to accounting policies |
The Company has changed certain accounting policies in accordance with IFRS. The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of March 12, 2012. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's first annual financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2012 could result in a restatement of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The changes to its accounting policies have resulted in certain changes to the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, and expenses within its financial statements.
The following summarizes the significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies on adoption of IFRS.

18. | Conversion to IFRS (continued) |
(iii) | Changes to accounting policies (continued) |
(a) | Impairment of non-financial assets |
IFRS requires a write down of assets if the higher of the fair market value and the value in use of a group of assets is less than its carrying value. Value in use is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows. Current Canadian GAAP requires a write down to estimated fair value only if the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of a group of assets are less than its carrying value.
The Company's accounting policies related to impairment of non-financial assets have been changed to reflect these differences. There was no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there were no impairment indicators on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.
(b) | Decommissioning Liabilities (Asset Retirement Obligations) |
IFRS requires the recognition of a decommissioning liability for legal or constructive obligations, while current Canadian GAAP only requires the recognition of such liabilities for legal obligations. A constructive obligation exists when an entity has created reasonable expectations that it will take certain actions.
The Company's accounting policies related to decommissioning liabilities have been changed to reflect these differences. There is no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as there was no legal or constructive obligation on the Transition Date or as at January 31, 2011.
(c) | Income Taxes |
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company had recognized deferred tax on temporary differences arising on the acquisition of assets where the carrying amount of the assets acquired exceeded the tax base.
IFRS provides for a specific exemption from recording a deferred tax liability on initial recognition when the transaction is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit/loss nor tax profit/loss. As the acquisition of certain interests in exploration properties meet the IFRS exemption criteria, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities in relation to these assets acquired under Canadian GAAP is reversed under IFRS.
(iv) | Presentation |
Certain amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position, statements of loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted under IFRS.
