BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
In these interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollars are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references to C$ or $ are to Canadian dollars and references to US$ are to U.S. dollars. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”), and have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for income taxes and updates to significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 3. Income taxes on earnings or loss in the interim periods are accrued using the income tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings or loss. Certain information provided for the prior year has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the periods ended September 30, 2021. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors effective November 2, 2021.
