Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as described in (n) and (p) below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the year unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
