3CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Within the context of these consolidated financial statements, a judgment is a decision made by management in respect of the application of an accounting policy, a recognized or unrecognized financial statement amount and/or note disclosure, following an analysis of relevant information that may include estimates and assumptions. Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and are based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2.

Impairment of non-financial assets (property and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill)

-

Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management is required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their CGUs for the purposes of testing property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment.

The Company has determined that Oryx Gaming, Wild Streak and Spin are a single CGU for the purposes of property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use asset impairment testing. For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs are grouped at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an impairment test to be completed.

-

Key sources of estimation

In determining the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs, various estimates are employed. The Company determines fair value less costs to sell using such estimates as market rental rates for comparable properties, recoverable operating costs for leases with tenants, non-recoverable operating costs, discount rates, capitalization rates and terminal capitalization rates. The Company determines value in use by using estimates including projected future revenues, earnings and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the Board. Discount rates are consistent with external industry information reflecting the risk associated with the specific cash flows.

Impairment of accounts receivable

In each stage of the ECL impairment model, impairment is determined based on the probability of default, loss given default, and expected exposure to loss at default. The application of the ECL model requires management to apply the following significant judgments, assumptions, and estimations:

-

movement of impairment measurement between the three stages of the ECL model, based on the assessment of the increase in credit risks on accounts receivables. The assessment of changes in credit risks includes qualitative and quantitative factors of the accounts, such as historical credit loss experience and external credit scores;

-

thresholds for significant increase in credit risks based on changes in probability of default over the expected life of the instrument relative to initial recognition; and

-

forecasts of future economic conditions.

Leases

-

Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including investments in major leaseholds and past business practice and the length of time remaining before the option is exercisable. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if management is reasonably certain to renew. Management considers reasonably certain to be a high threshold. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the office rental industry may impact management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

-

Key sources of estimation

In determining the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. Management determines the incremental borrowing rate using a base risk-free interest rate estimated by reference to the bond yield with an adjustment that reflects the Company’s credit rating, the security, lease term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change due to changes in the business and macroeconomic environment.

Warrants and share options

-

Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the model used and the inputs therein to evaluate the value of share option grants and issued warrants. Management considers all facts and circumstances for each grant issuance on an individual basis.

-

Key sources of estimation

In determining the fair value of warrants and share options, the Company is required to estimate the future volatility of the market value of the Company’s shares by reference to its historical volatility or comparable companies over the previous years, a risk-free interest rate estimated by reference to the Government of Canada bond yield, and a dividend yield of nil.

Long-term employee benefits obligations

-

Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate fair value of severance pay upon retirement and awards for years of service that certain employees have earned in return for their service. A calculation is made for each employee taking into account the cost of severance pay upon retirement due under the contract of employment and the cost of all expected awards for years of service with the Company until retirement.

-

Key sources of estimation

In determining the present value of liabilities to certain employees, the Company performs actuarial calculations in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits applying the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure obligations and costs. Various assumptions are applied including retirement age, mortality, average salary of an individual and growth in income in future years.

Convertible debt

-

Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate fair value of each separately identifiable component in the convertible debt instrument. Embedded derivatives such as conversion and buy-back options are measured at fair value through profit and loss and remeasured at each reporting period. The host debt liability is measured at amortised cost and amortised over the life of the instrument. Residual amounts, if any, from the transaction price after deducting the fair value of derivative liabilities and host debt are allocated to warrants if issued as part of the convertible debt.

Convertible debt (continued)

-

Key sources of estimation

In determining the present value of conversion options, the Company has performed Monte-Carlo simulations modelled as a series of call options with inputs including strike price, stock price WVAP, annualized volatility and risk-free rate.

In respect of buy-back options, the Company has employed a Black Scholes valuation, adding an early exercise premium. Inputs and assumptions include share price, risk free rate, volatility and exercise price.

The fair value of the host debt liability is determined using a discounted cash flow method at an appropriate market participant discount rate.
