Disclosure of Nature of operations and going concern [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Tower One Wireless Corp. ("Tower One" or the "Company") is a pure-play, build-to-suit ("BTS") tower owner, operator and developer of multitenant communications structures. The Company's primary business is the leasing of space on communications sites to mobile network operators ("MNOs"). The Company offers tower-related services in the largest Spanish speaking countries in Latin America: Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. These tower-related services include site acquisition, zoning and permitting, structural analysis, and construction which primarily supports the Company's site leasing business, including the addition of new tenants and equipment on its sites. A long -term site lease is in hand with a tenant prior to undergoing construction. Tower One was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on September 12, 2005. On October 14, 2011, the Company became a reporting company in British Columbia and was approved by the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and commenced trading on November 16, 2011. The Company's registered office is located at Suite 605, 815 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6Z 2E6. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, and accordingly, do not purport to give effect to adjustments which may be required should the Company be unable to achieve the objectives above as a going concern. The net realizable value of the Company's assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in these consolidated financial statements should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $19,124,583 (2019 - $17,058,758) and an accumulated deficit of $25,352,460 (2019 - $23,585,459) which has been funded primarily by loans from related parties. Ongoing operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient revenues in the future, receive continued financial support and complete equity financings. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to constrain the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods, self-isolation, physical and social distancing and the closure of non-essential businesses, have caused significant disruption to businesses globally, which has resulted in an uncertain and challenging economic environment. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown at this time. COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on the Company's site leasing business and tower sales. Moreover, COVID-19 did not have any impact on the Company's ability to collect receivables from its customers. |

Disclosure Of Statement Of Compliance And Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] | |
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (a) Statement of Compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 07, 2021. (b) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is Canadian dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities as at December 31, 2020 and 2019: Percentage Functional Entity Country of ownership currency Tower One Wireless Corp. ("Tower One") Canada Parent Canadian dollar Tower Two SAS ("Tower Two") Argentina 100% Argentine Peso Tower Three SAS ("Tower Three") Colombia 100% Colombian Peso Tower 3 SA ("Tower 3") Argentina 100% Argentine Peso Innervision SAS ("Innervision") Colombia 100% Colombian Peso Evolution Technology SA ("Evolution") Argentina 65% Argentine Peso Tower Construction & Technical Services, LLC ("TCTS") USA 50% US dollar Tower One Wireless Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("Mexmaken") Mexico 90% Mexican Peso All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control is based on whether an investor has power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of returns. Non-controlling interests in the net assets are identified separately from the Company's deficiency. The non-controlling interest consists of the non-controlling interest as at the date of the original acquisition plus the noncontrolling interest's share of changes in equity or deficiency since the date of acquisition. The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the following: (i) The Company records intangible assets purchased in a business combination at their fair value. Following initial recognition, the Company carries the value of intangible assets at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis based upon management's estimate of the useful life and residual value. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of technical obsolescence or legal and other limits to use. A change in the useful life or residual value will impact the reported carrying value of the intangible assets resulting in a change in related amortization expense. (ii) The Company has applied estimates with respect to the valuation of shares issued for non-cash consideration. Shares are valued first at the fair value of goods or services received, and if this not readily determinable, at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date the Company receives the goods or services. The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions at the fair value of the equity instruments on the date they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the fair value of the underlying common shares, the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield. The fair value of the underlying common shares is assessed as the quoted market price on grant date. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions are discussed in Note 17. (iii) Amortization is recorded on a declining balance basis based upon management's estimate of the useful life and residual value. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of the physical condition, technical obsolescence or legal and other limits to use. A change in the useful life or residual value will impact the reported carrying value of towers and equipment resulting in a change in related amortization expense. (iv) The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liabilities. This rate represents the rate that the Company would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the asset of a similar value, with similar payment terms and security in a similar economic environment. (v) The Company provides for doubtful debts by analyzing the historical default experience and current information available about a customer's credit worthiness on an account by account basis. Uncertainty relates to the actual collectability of customer balances that can vary from the Company's estimation. At December 31, 2020, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $36,381 (2019 - $179,868). (vi) Determining the amount of impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher of fair value less the cost of disposal or value in use. Many factors used in assessing recoverable amounts are outside of the control of management and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change from period to period. Use of Judgments Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments with a significant risk of material adjustment in the year: (i) The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions that raise substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Further information regarding going concern is outlined in Note 1. (ii) The measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only becomes final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant tax authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. (iii) In accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement, convertible debentures are compound financial instruments that are accounted for separately by their components: a financial liability and an equity instrument. The identification of convertible debenture components is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the convertible debenture at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. The determination of the fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount factors and the presence of any derivative financial instruments. (iv) Judgment is required in determining whether an asset meets the criteria for classification as "assets held for sale" in the consolidated statements of financial position. Criteria considered by management include the existence of and commitment to a plan to dispose of the assets, the expected selling price of the assets, the expected time frame of the completion of the anticipated sale and the period of time any amounts have been classified within assets held for sale. The Company reviews the criteria for assets held for sale each period and reclassifies such assets to or from this financial position category as appropriate. In addition, there is a requirement to periodically evaluate and record assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Judgment is applied in determining whether disposal groups represent a component of the entity, the results of which should be recorded as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. (v) At the end of each reporting period, management makes a judgment whether there are any indications of impairment of its property and equipment and intangibles. If there are indications of impairment, management performs an impairment test on a cash-generating unit basis. The impairment test compares the recoverable amount of the asset to its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's value in use (present value of the estimated future cash flows) and its estimated fair value less costs of disposal. (vi) The determination of the functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries was based on management's judgment of the underlying transactions, events and conditions relevant to each entity. The determination of whether an entity operates in a hyperinflationary economy was based on management's judgment of the underlying economic condition of the country the entity operates in. (vii) The Company applies judgment in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create economic incentive to exercise renewal options. (viii) Judgment is required in applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements: Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To compute diluted loss per share, adjustments are made to common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. Revenue recognition The Company generates revenues from the supply of various goods and services. (i) Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Company are classified as operating leases. Assets under operating leases are included in property and equipment. Leasing revenue from operating leases is recognized as the leasing services are provided. (ii) (iii) Foreign currency translation The results and financial position of a subsidiary whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy is translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures: i. ii. iii. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, for example an average rate for the period, is often used to translate income and expense items. For the year ended December 31, 2020, an unrealized foreign exchange translation gain of $508,446 (2019 - $327,696; 2018 - $480,132) was recorded under accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of changes in the value of the Colombian Peso, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso and US dollars with respect to the Canadian dollar. The results and financial position of a subsidiary whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures: i. ii. When an entity's functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the entity shall restate its financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies Property and equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization expense for towers begins in the month of transfer of each tower from construction in progress to towers. Costs not clearly related to the procurement, manufacturing and implementation are expensed as incurred. Towers represent cellular towers owned by the Company. The towers are operated at various sites and under contractual license agreements. • • Costs of assets in the course of construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Upon completion, the cost of construction is transferred to the appropriate category of property and equipment and amortization commences when the asset is available for its intended 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. Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of master lease agreement acquired by the Company. Acquired lease agreements are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment. Any impairment of intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss but increases in intangible asset values are not recognized subsequently. Amortization expense for intangible assets is calculated on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets are the shorter of the economic life and the period the right is legally enforceable. The assets' useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The useful life of the Company's intangible assets, consisting of master lease agreements, is estimated to be 10 years. Impairment Non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may be less than its recoverable amount. Management uses its judgment to estimate these inputs and any changes to these inputs could have a material impact on the impairment calculation. For impairment testing, non-financial assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into CGU, which represent the levels at which largely independent cash flows are generated. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings to the extent that the carrying value of an asset, CGU or group of CGU's exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset, CGU or group of CGU's is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. Value in use is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at appropriate pre -tax discount rates. An impairment loss relating to a specific asset reduces the carrying value of the asset. An impairment loss relating to a group of CGU's is allocated on a pro-rata basis to reduce the carrying value of the assets in the units comprising the group. A previously recognized impairment loss related to non- financial assets is assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss related to non-financial assets is reversed if there is a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying value does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no loss had been recognized. Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued. The Company applies the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in a private placement to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus. Share-based compensation Share-based compensation to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based compensation 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 the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to the recorded cost is to contributed surplus. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related amount in contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from contributed surplus. For those options that expire or are forfeited after vesting, the recorded value is transferred to deficit. Income taxes Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Provisions Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Financial instruments Financial assets - Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"), or through profit or loss), and Those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or OCI. Financial assets - Measurement At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included as finance income using the effective interest rate method. Fair value through OCI ("FVOCI"): A financial asset measured at FVOCI is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as "financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income" in other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses recognized through other comprehensive income remain in OCI when the financial instrument is derecognized or its fair value substantially decreases. Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on an investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. The Company has classified its cash and amounts receivables as FVTPL. Financial liabilities The Company classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories: Financial liabilities at FVTPL; and Amortized cost. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The fair value changes to financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as follows: the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and the remaining amount of the change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any financial liabilities at FVTPL. Other non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has classified its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, convertible debentures, loans payable, loans from related parties, customer deposits, bonds payable and lease liability as amortized cost. Convertible debentures The component parts of compound instruments (convertible debentures) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instruments is an equity instrument. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share capital. When the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to deficit. No gain or loss is recognized in the profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortized over the lives of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Substantial modification of convertible debentures Modification is deemed to be substantial if the net present value of the cash flows under the modified terms, including any fees paid or received, is a least 10 percent different from the net present value of the remaining cash flows of the liability prior to the modification, both discounted at the original effective interest rate of the liability prior to the modification. A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The consideration paid, represented by the fair value of the modified convertible debentures are allocated to the liability and equity components of the original convertible debentures at the date of the extinguishment. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components of the original convertible debentures is consistent with that used in the original allocation to the separate components of the original convertible debentures of the proceeds received by the Company when the original convertible debentures were issued. Once the allocation of the consideration is made, any resulting gain or loss is treated as follows: the amount of gain or loss relating to the original liability component is recognized in profit or loss; and the amount of consideration relating to the original equity component is recognized in equity in contributed surplus. The amount recognized in convertible debentures equity reserve attributable to the extinguished convertible debentures is also transferred to contributed surplus. Leases At inception, the Company assesses whether a contract contains an embedded lease. A contract contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset"), representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement of the lease. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the present value of lease payments, plus initial direct cost, less any incentives received. It is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization, impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The ROU asset is amortized from the commencement date over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator of impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the operation would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of: • • • • • • • The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate not included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. |

Disclosure Of Detailed Information About Hyperinflation [Abstract] | |
HYPERINFLATION | 4. HYPERINFLATION In July 2018, the Argentine three-year cumulative rate of inflation for consumer prices and wholesale prices reached a level in excess of 100%. As a result, in accordance with IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies On the application of IAS 29, the Company used the conversion coefficient derived from the combination of the "IPC Nacional and the IPIM" (the national consumer price index and the national wholesale price index) published by the National Statistics and Census Institution in Argentina. Furthermore, a formal resolution (number 539/018) from de "FACPCE" (Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas) was issued and has been followed in the calculations. As the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been previously presented in Canadian dollars, a stable currency, the comparative period amounts do not require restatement. The level of the IPC at December 31, 2020 was 385.76 (2019 - 283.44), which represents an increase of 36.1% over the IPC at December 31, 2019. Monetary assets and liabilities are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current as at December 31, 2020. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, equity, and expenses (items that are not already expressed in terms of the monetary unit as at December 31, 2020) are restated by applying the index at the end of the reporting period. The effect of inflation on the Argentine subsidiary's net monetary position is included in the consolidated statements of loss as a gain on net monetary position. The application of IAS 29 results in the adjustment for the loss of purchasing power of the Argentine peso recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. In a period of inflation, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities loses purchasing power, which results in a loss on the net monetary position. This loss/gain is derived as the difference resulting from the restatement of non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity. As per IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates As a result of the change in the conversion coefficient during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a net monetary gain of $318,659 (2019 - loss of $711,090; 2018 - $924,340) to adjust transactions recorded during the period into a measuring unit current as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, $2,798,971 was reclassified from net gain (loss) from net monetary position to foreign exchange for comparative purpose. |

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 30% ownership interest of TCTS for total purchase price of $106,121 (US$80,000). As the Company previously controlled TCTS, the transaction resulted in a change to the Company ownership stake and was accounted for as an equity transaction. The $106,990 difference between the acquisition of $869 non-controlling interest and $106,121 fair value of consideration paid was recognized directly in deficit. On August 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with a third party, Enervisa US LLC ("Enervisa") and sold 50% of outstanding shares of TCTS for $330,397 (US$250,000) to fund the operation of TCTS. The Company determines that the sale of the 50% of TCTS shares did not constitute a loss of control. The issuance of the shares is accounted for an equity transaction and resulting a non-controlling interest of $698,030. The non-controlling interest consists of $519,983 of Enervisa's share of TCTS's net loss for the period from January 1, 2019 to August 1, 2019 which is included in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the consolidated statement of changes in equity (deficiency).

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | 10. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, due primarily to the cancellation of tenant lease agreements, an indicator of impairment existed resulting in a test of recoverable amount of the assets and recognition of an impairment loss of $441,292 and $1,306,767, respectively. A value in use calculation is not applicable as the Company does not have any expected cash flows from using the assets.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES | 13. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES June 2018 Convertible Debenture In June 2018, the Company issued secured convertible debentures to a third party for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 under the following terms: A term of one year; An interest rate of 1% per month, payable monthly; and Convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.20 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain events. In connection with the convertible debentures, the Company also issued 5,000,000 share purchase warrants to the holders exercisable at a price of $0.25 per common share for a period of one year. The Company also incurred cash debt issuance costs of $76,791. In November 2018, the terms of these convertible debentures were modified as follows: The conversion price was reduced to $0.10 per common share; The expiry date of the original warrants was extended to November 13, 2019; The exercise price of the share purchase warrants was reduced to $0.125 per common share; and The Company issued 5,000,000 additional share purchase warrants to the purchasers exercisable at a price of $0.125 per common share, subject to certain adjustments in certain events with an expiry date of November 13, 2019. The convertible debentures are secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a general security agreement of the Company issued in favor of the holders. November 2018 Convertible Debenture In November 2018, the Company issued secured convertible debentures to a third party for gross proceeds of $500,000 under the following terms: A term of seven months; An interest rate of 1% per month, payable monthly; and Convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.10 per common share, until June 12, 2019, subject to adjustments in certain events. In connection with the convertible debentures, the Company also issued 5,000,000 share purchase warrants to the purchasers exercisable at a price of $0.125 per common share for a period of one year until November 13, 2019. The Company also incurred cash debt issuance costs of $46,295. The convertible debentures are secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of a general security agreement of the Company issued in favor of the holders. For accounting purposes, the convertible debentures are separated into their liability and equity components using the residual method. The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue was determined based on an estimated discount rate of 17% for debentures. The value of the equity component was determined as the difference between the face value of the convertible debenture and the fair value of the liability component. After initial recognition the liability component is carried on an amortized cost basis and is accreted to its face value over the term to maturity of the convertible debentures at the effective rate of 25%. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined the fair value of the equity component of the convertible debentures to be $53,583, offset by transaction costs of $4,397 and a deferred tax liability of $46,513. June 2019 In June 2019, the Company repaid $750,000 of the convertible debentures and extended the term with the existing lenders to November 2019. In consideration for the extension of financing terms with existing lenders, the Company reached an agreement with such lenders to amend existing warrants (the "Amended Warrants") that were issued to such lenders on (i) June 12, 2018 (as previously amended on November 13, 2018) and (ii) November 13, 2018. The Amended Warrants were amended as follows: The exercise price of the Amended Warrants was amended from $0.125 to $0.09; and The expiry date of the Amended Warrants was extended from November 13, 2019 to November 13, 2020. Concurrent with the Amended Warrants, the Company also issued new common share purchase warrants (the "New Warrants") to each holder of the Amended Warrants, resulting in an aggregate of 15,000,000 New Warrants being issued. Each New Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.09 per common share, with each New Warrant set to expire on November 13, 2020. The fair value of the New Warrants is $287,272. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the following weighted average assumptions: Share price at date of grant $0.08 Exercise price $0.09 Expected life 1.42 years Expected volatility 58.15% Risk free interest rate 1.49% Expected dividend yield 0% Expected forfeiture rate 0% The Company has the right to repurchase all of the Amended Warrants and New Warrants for $300,000 in aggregate at any time before their respective expiry dates. The amendment of the convertible debenture was deemed to be an extinguishment of the original liabilities. As such, the equity portion of the original convertible debentures of $2,673 was derecognized and the Amended Warrants were revalued at the extinguishment date using the Black-Scholes model and the weighted average assumptions disclosed above. The fair value of the Amended Warrants at the date of extinguishment was determined to be $287,623. Consequently, $572,222 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment to contributed surplus. September 2019 In September 2019, the Company further extended the term with the existing lenders to December 2019. In consideration for the extension of financing terms with existing lenders, the Company reached an agreement with such lenders to pay a 10% penalty on the total outstanding amounts of the principal.

Share-based compensation of $10,410 was recorded on the agents warrants, based on the following assumptions: Exercise price $0.40 Expected life 0.5 years Expected volatility 81% Risk free interest rate 1.32% Expected dividend yield 0% Expected forfeiture rate 0% During the year ended December 31, 2020, a total of 31,293,653 warrants expired unexercised. Upon expiry of the warrants, $597,632 was reversed from contributed surplus to deficit. A continuity of warrants for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Number Weighted $ Balance, December 31, 2018 16,290,573 0.12 Granted 15,924,860 0.09 Balance, December 31, 2019 32,215,433 0.11 Expired (31,293,653 ) 0.11 Balance, December 31, 2020 921,780 0.09 The following table summarizes the share purchase warrants outstanding and exercisable as at December 31, 2020: Number of warrants outstanding Exercise price $ Expiry date 921,780 0.09 October 1, 2021 As at December 31, 2020, the warrants outstanding have a weighted average life remaining of 0.75 years (2019 - 0.89 years). e) The Company has established a stock option plan for directors, employees, and consultants. Under the Company's stock option plan, the exercise price of each option is determined by the Board, subject to the Discounted Market Price policies of the Canadian Stock Exchange. The aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the plan is limited to 10% of the Company's issued shares at the time the options are granted. The aggregate number of options granted to any one optionee in a 12-month period is limited to 5% of the issued shares of the Company. There were no stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company granted stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the stock options during the year ended December 31, 2018 was determined to be $1.50 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the calculation: 2020 2019 2018 Share price at grant date — — $ 0.22 Exercise price — — $ 0.23 Expected life (in years) — — 5 Expected volatility — — 202% Risk free interest rate — — 2.07% Expected dividend yield — — 0% Expected forfeiture rate — — 0% A continuity of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Number Weighted average $ Balance, December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 1,275,000 0.30 As at December 31, 2020, the following stock options were outstanding and exercisable: Options Options Exercise Remaining life Expiry date $ 325,000 325,000 0.45 1.21 March 17, 2022 950,000 950,000 0.25 2.13 February 17, 2023 1,275,000 1,275,000 0.30 1.90 |

CAPITAL DISCLOSURE | 18. CAPITAL DISCLOSURE The Company manages its shareholders' deficiency, loans and convertible debts as capital. The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt or acquire or dispose of assets. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. As at December 31, 2020, the shareholders' deficiency was $25,352,460 (2019 - $23,585,459). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK | 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK As at December 31, 2020, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, interest payable, convertible debentures, loans payable, loans from related parties, bonds payable and lease liabilities. The Company provides information about financial instruments that are measured at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable. a. b. c. Cash is measured using level 1 fair value inputs. The carrying values of the amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, interest payable, convertible debentures and loans from related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The bond payable, loan payable and lease liabilities is classified as level 3. The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows: Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places cash with a high credit quality financial institution. With respect to its accounts receivable, the Company assesses the credit rating of all customers and maintains provisions for potential credit losses, and any such losses to date have been within management's expectations. The Company's credit risk with respect to accounts receivable and maximum exposure thereto is $1,166,502 (2019 - $1,808,397). Accounts receivable are shown net of provision of credit losses of $36,381 (2019 - $179,868). Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The Company uses cash to settle its financial obligations as they fall due. The ability to do this relies on the Company's ability to collect its revenue in a timely manner, continuous support from shareholders and investors and maintain sufficient cash on hand. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current obligations, the Board of Directors considers securing additional funds through issuances of equity and debt or partnering transactions. The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring the maturity dates of existing trade and other accounts payable. The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company's financial liabilities as at December 31, 2020 based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows: Carrying Contractual Less than 1 - 3 4 - 5 After 5 $ $ $ $ $ $ Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 4,368,281 4,368,218 4,368,281 — — — Interest payable 650,278 650,278 650,278 — — — Loans payable 3,588,352 3,588,352 3,444,497 143,855 — — Loans from related parties 3,866,983 3,866,983 3,866,983 — — — Bonds payable 1,882,750 1,882,750 1,882,750 — — — Lease liability 1,685,678 3,313,033 507,403 1,160,875 773,033 871,722 Total 16,042,322 17,669,614 14,720,192 1,304,730 773,033 871,722 The Company has a working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2020 of $19,124,583. Customer deposits consist of funds received from customers in advance of towers sold. As of December 31, 2020, the Company received $5,621,307 (2019 - $8,526,085) in customer deposits. Currency Risk The Company generates revenues and incurs expenses and capital expenditures primarily in Canada, Colombia, Argentina, USA and Mexico and is exposed to the resulting risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Some administrative and head office related expenses are incurred in Canada. In addition, the Company holds financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that expose the Company to foreign exchange risks. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 17% ( 2019 - 15%) weakening or strengthening of the Colombia Peso, Argentine Peso, US dollar and Mexican Peso against the Canadian dollar would result in approximately $470,007 (2019 - $1,021,871) foreign exchange loss or gain in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations At December 31, 2020, the Company had the following financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies: Argentine Pesos Colombian Mexican United States Total $ $ $ $ $ Cash 34,531 28,218 31,611 (4,454 ) 89,907 Amounts receivable 90,045 144,491 364,285 — 598,821 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (442,629 ) (981,541 ) (665,231 ) (913,195 ) (3,002,597 ) Interest payable — (5,539 ) — — (5,539 ) Lease liability (576,868 ) (1,006,160 ) (102,650 ) — (1,685,678 ) Loans payable — (1,614,063 ) (148,245 ) — (1,762,308 ) Loans from related parties — (18,546 ) — — (18,546 ) Net (894,921 ) (3,453,141 ) (520,229 ) (917,649 ) (5,785,940 ) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of the Company's assets and liabilities can change due to a change in interest rates. Loans payable have a fixed interest rate between 12% and 18%, and cash earns interest at a nominal rate. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values. |

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Loss per share | Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. To compute diluted loss per share, adjustments are made to common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period or at time of issuance, all options and warrants were exercised. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase the Company's common shares at their average market price during the period. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition The Company generates revenues from the supply of various goods and services. (i) Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Company are classified as operating leases. Assets under operating leases are included in property and equipment. Leasing revenue from operating leases is recognized as the leasing services are provided. (ii) (iii) |
Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation The results and financial position of a subsidiary whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy is translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures: i. ii. iii. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, for example an average rate for the period, is often used to translate income and expense items. For the year ended December 31, 2020, an unrealized foreign exchange translation gain of $508,446 (2019 - $327,696; 2018 - $480,132) was recorded under accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of changes in the value of the Colombian Peso, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso and US dollars with respect to the Canadian dollar. The results and financial position of a subsidiary whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures: i. ii. When an entity's functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the entity shall restate its financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies |
Property and equipment | Property and equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization expense for towers begins in the month of transfer of each tower from construction in progress to towers. Costs not clearly related to the procurement, manufacturing and implementation are expensed as incurred. Towers represent cellular towers owned by the Company. The towers are operated at various sites and under contractual license agreements. • • Costs of assets in the course of construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Upon completion, the cost of construction is transferred to the appropriate category of property and equipment and amortization commences when the asset is available for its intended 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. |
Intangible assets | Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of master lease agreement acquired by the Company. Acquired lease agreements are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment. Any impairment of intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss but increases in intangible asset values are not recognized subsequently. Amortization expense for intangible assets is calculated on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets are the shorter of the economic life and the period the right is legally enforceable. The assets' useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The useful life of the Company's intangible assets, consisting of master lease agreements, is estimated to be 10 years. |
Impairment | Impairment Non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may be less than its recoverable amount. Management uses its judgment to estimate these inputs and any changes to these inputs could have a material impact on the impairment calculation. For impairment testing, non-financial assets that do not generate independent cash flows are grouped together into CGU, which represent the levels at which largely independent cash flows are generated. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings to the extent that the carrying value of an asset, CGU or group of CGU's exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset, CGU or group of CGU's is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. Value in use is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at appropriate pre -tax discount rates. An impairment loss relating to a specific asset reduces the carrying value of the asset. An impairment loss relating to a group of CGU's is allocated on a pro-rata basis to reduce the carrying value of the assets in the units comprising the group. A previously recognized impairment loss related to non- financial assets is assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss related to non-financial assets is reversed if there is a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying value does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no loss had been recognized. |
Share capital | Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued. The Company applies the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in a private placement to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus. |
Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation Share-based compensation to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based compensation 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 the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to the recorded cost is to contributed surplus. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related amount in contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from contributed surplus. For those options that expire or are forfeited after vesting, the recorded value is transferred to deficit. |
Income taxes | Income taxes Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. |
Provisions | Provisions Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. |
Financial instruments | Financial instruments Financial assets - Classification The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"), or through profit or loss), and Those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or OCI. Financial assets - Measurement At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss that is subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included as finance income using the effective interest rate method. Fair value through OCI ("FVOCI"): A financial asset measured at FVOCI is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as "financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income" in other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses recognized through other comprehensive income remain in OCI when the financial instrument is derecognized or its fair value substantially decreases. Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on an investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. The Company has classified its cash and amounts receivables as FVTPL. Financial liabilities The Company classifies its financial liabilities into the following categories: Financial liabilities at FVTPL; and Amortized cost. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The fair value changes to financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as follows: the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in OCI; and the remaining amount of the change in the fair value is presented in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any financial liabilities at FVTPL. Other non-derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has classified its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, convertible debentures, loans payable, loans from related parties, customer deposits, bonds payable and lease liability as amortized cost. Convertible debentures The component parts of compound instruments (convertible debentures) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instruments is an equity instrument. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share capital. When the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to deficit. No gain or loss is recognized in the profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortized over the lives of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Substantial modification of convertible debentures Modification is deemed to be substantial if the net present value of the cash flows under the modified terms, including any fees paid or received, is a least 10 percent different from the net present value of the remaining cash flows of the liability prior to the modification, both discounted at the original effective interest rate of the liability prior to the modification. A substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The consideration paid, represented by the fair value of the modified convertible debentures are allocated to the liability and equity components of the original convertible debentures at the date of the extinguishment. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components of the original convertible debentures is consistent with that used in the original allocation to the separate components of the original convertible debentures of the proceeds received by the Company when the original convertible debentures were issued. Once the allocation of the consideration is made, any resulting gain or loss is treated as follows: the amount of gain or loss relating to the original liability component is recognized in profit or loss; and the amount of consideration relating to the original equity component is recognized in equity in contributed surplus. The amount recognized in convertible debentures equity reserve attributable to the extinguished convertible debentures is also transferred to contributed surplus. |
Leases | Leases At inception, the Company assesses whether a contract contains an embedded lease. A contract contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset"), representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement of the lease. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the present value of lease payments, plus initial direct cost, less any incentives received. It is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization, impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The ROU asset is amortized from the commencement date over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator of impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the operation would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of: • • • • • • • The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate not included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. |
