Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019
(Unaudited, expressed in Canadian Dollars)
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the coronavirus known as COVID-19 was announced as a global pandemic. As a result of global volatility, the Company has put in place business continuity plans to adapt to evolving market conditions. The Company has sufficient access to capital as its agreement with its financial institution has been renewed (Note 14). Even after taking into consideration the negative effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic on our delivery schedule, the Company has determined that there is no change in the Company’s conclusion about its ability to continue as a going concern. However, the duration and impact of COVID-19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods. The Canadian Government has implemented policies giving aid to businesses due to COVID-19, as a result the Company has received $543,654 in aid during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 which was recognized as a decrease in salary expenses.
| i) | Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions, were eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. |
a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been omitted or condensed. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 20, 2020.
b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value.
c) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. For significant estimates and judgements refer to Note 6 as well as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
