Material Accounting Policies  
Basis of consolidation

 

  a) Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by consolidating the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as defined in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

The material subsidiaries whose financial information is consolidated in these financial statements of the Company include:

 

     
  Country of Ownership interest as at August 31,
  incorporation 2025 2024
TRX Gold Tanzania Limited Tanzania 100% 100%
Tancan Mining Co. Limited Tanzania 100% 100%
Buckreef Gold Company Ltd. Tanzania 55% 55%

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the group, including any unrealized profits or losses, have been eliminated.

 

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of the business combination. Total comprehensive profit or loss is attributed to non- controlling interests even if this results in non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Functional and presentation currency

 

b)Functional and presentation currency

 

The functional currency of each of the Company’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The functional currency of all entities within the group is the USD, which is also the Company’s presentation currency.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at period-end exchange rates. Differences arising on settlement of foreign currency transactions or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continued to be carried at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Differences arising on translation of non-monetary items are treated in line with the recognition of the change in fair value of such an item.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

c)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of an entity’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows.

Inventories

 

  d) Inventories

  

Inventories include ore stockpile, gold in-circuit, gold doré and supplies inventory. The value of production inventories includes direct production costs, mine-site overheads, depreciation on property, plant and equipment used in the production process, and depreciation of capitalized stripping costs and mineral properties, incurred to bring the inventory to their current point in the processing cycle. General and administrative costs not related to production are excluded from inventories. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is determined with reference to estimated selling prices, less estimated costs of completion and selling costs. If carrying value exceeds net realizable value, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused the write-down no longer exists.

 

·Ore stockpile represents unprocessed ore that has been mined and is available for future processing. Ore stockpile is measured by estimating the recoverable ounces of gold added and removed from the stockpile through physical surveys, assay data and an estimated metallurgical recovery rate. Costs are added to ore stockpile based on current mining costs and are removed at the average cost per ounce of gold in the stockpile.
·Gold in-circuit represents material that is currently being processed to extract the gold into a saleable form. The amount of gold in-circuit is determined by assay values and by measure of the various gold bearing materials in the recovery process. Gold in-circuit is carried at the average of the beginning inventory and the cost of ore material fed into the processing plant plus in-circuit conversion costs.
·Gold doré represents saleable gold in the form of doré bars that have been poured. Included in the costs are the costs of mining and processing activities, including mine-site overheads and depreciation.
·Supplies inventories include equipment parts and other consumables required in the mining and processing activities and are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific inventory items identified.
Mineral property, plant and equipment

 

e)Mineral property, plant and equipment

 

Mineral property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

The cost of PP&E consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Where an item of PP&E comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of PP&E. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

 

Depreciation

 

PP&E are depreciated over their useful lives commencing from the time the respective asset is ready for use. The Company uses the units-of-production method (“UOP") or straight-line basis according to the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. The UOP method results in a depreciation charge based on the ounces of gold produced in a period as a portion of estimated total recoverable ounces of gold considered probable of economic extraction based on the current life-of-mine (“LOM”) plan that benefit from the development and are considered probable of economic extraction.

 

Depreciation for each class of PP&E is calculated using the following method:

 

   
Class of PP&E Method Years
Machinery and equipment Straight-line 310 years
Automotive Straight-line 35 years
Computer equipment and software Straight-line 38 years
Leasehold improvements Straight-line 5 years
Right-of-use assets Straight-line 28 years
Processing plant and related infrastructure UOP n/a
Mineral properties UOP n/a

 

Management annually reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods of the Company’s PP&E and also when events and circumstances indicate that such a review should be undertaken. Changes to estimated useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such reviews are accounted for prospectively.

 

An item of PP&E is derecognized upon disposal, when classified as held for sale or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The difference between the net proceeds from disposal, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss.

 

i)Construction in progress

 

All expenditures undertaken in the development, construction, installation and/or completion of mine production facilities to extract, treat, gather, transport and store of minerals are capitalized and initially classified as “Construction in progress”. Costs incurred on properties in the development stage are included in the carrying amount of “Construction in progress”. A property is classified as a development property when a mine plan has been prepared and a decision is made to commercially develop the property. Development stage expenditures are costs incurred to obtain access to proven and probable mineral reserves or mineral resources and provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering, transporting, and storing the minerals. All expenditures incurred from the time the development decision is made until when the asset is ready for its intended use are capitalized.

 

Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until they are completed and available for use.

 

Upon the commencement of commercial production, all related assets included in “Construction in progress” are reclassified to PP&E. Determination of commencement of commercial production is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates. The commencement of commercial production is defined as the date when the mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company considers primarily the following factors, among others, when determining the commencement of commercial production:

 

·All major capital expenditures to achieve a consistent level of production and desired capacity have been incurred;
·A reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment has been completed;
·A predetermined percentage of design capacity of the mine and mill has been reached; and
·Required production levels, grades and recoveries have been achieved.

 

When a mine development project moves into the commercial production stage, the capitalization of mine development costs ceases and subsequent costs incurred are either regarded as inventory or expensed, except for capitalizable costs related to mining asset additions or improvements, or mineable reserve development. It is also at this point that depreciation commences.

 

ii)Deferred stripping costs

 

In open pit mining operations, it is necessary to remove overburden and other waste materials to access ore from which minerals can be extracted economically. The process of mining overburden and waste materials to access ore from which minerals can be extracted economically is referred to as stripping. Stripping costs incurred in the production phase are accounted for as costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred, unless these costs are expected to provide a future economic benefit to an identifiable component of the ore body which will be extracted in the future. Components of the ore body are based on the distinct development phases identified by the mine planning engineers when determining the optimal development plan for the open pit.

 

Capitalized stripping costs are depleted using the UOP method based on contained ounces of gold mined as a portion of total contained ounces of gold mineable from an open pit based on the current LOM plan.

 

iii)Exploration and evaluation expenditures

 

All direct costs related to the acquisition and exploration and development of specific properties are capitalized as incurred. Any cost incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to explore a mineral property are expensed as incurred. Overhead costs directly related to exploration are capitalized and allocated to mineral properties explored. If a property is abandoned, sold or impaired, an appropriate charge will be made to the income statement at the date of such impairment.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Examples of such events or changes in circumstances are as follows:

 

·The period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
·Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
·Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and
·Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

 

If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the property will be written down to fair value with an impairment charge to the income statement in the period of impairment. An impairment is also recorded when management determines that it will discontinue exploration or development on a mineral property or when exploration rights or permits expire.

 

Once economic viability has been determined for a property and a decision to proceed with development has been approved, exploration and evaluation expenditures previously capitalized are first tested for impairment and then classified as mineral properties.

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

f)Impairment of non-financial assets

 

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PP&E to determine whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indicators exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where an asset does not generate cash flows independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.

 

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

 

If the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years.

Borrowing costs

 

g)Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

 

All other borrowing costs are recognized in net profit within the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

Leases

 

h)Leases

 

At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability, which is the discounted value of future lease payments using the lease-specific incremental borrowing rate, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e. the right-of-use asset). The Company separately recognizes interest expense on the lease liability and depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the value of the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for any accrued and prepaid lease payments, and less any impairment provisions. Right-of-use assets are capitalized at the commencement date of the lease and comprise of the initial lease liability and initial direct costs incurred by the Company when entering into the lease less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term of the underlying asset or the useful life of the underlying asset if the lessee will exercise a purchase option. Cash flows relating to the reduction of lease liabilities have been presented as cash used in financing activities.

 

The Company has also elected to classify leases which end within 12 months of the date of initial application as short term leases. The lease payments associated with such leases are recognized as an expense in the income statement.

 

Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities

 

i)Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities

 

The Company recognizes provisions for legal and constructive obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of PP&E, when there is a present obligation as a result of exploration, development and production activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing facilities, abandoning sites and restoring the affected areas.

 

The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal or constructive obligation. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement obligation is added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the asset using UOP. Following the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to the discount rate and amount or timing of the underlying cash flows required to settle the obligation. Future restoration costs are reviewed at each reporting period.

Taxation

 

  j) Taxation

 

Current income tax

 

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. Current income tax is calculated on the basis of the law enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

 

Deferred income tax

 

Deferred income tax is recognized in accordance with the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements at the end of each reporting period. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

 

·Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
·In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and losses can be utilized except:

 

·Where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
·In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset 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.

Financial instruments

 

k)Financial instruments

 

i)Financial assets

 

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

 

a.FVTPL

 

Financial assets are classified at FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or FVOCI. Gains or losses on these items are recognized in net profit or loss.

 

b.Amortized cost

 

Financial assets are classified at amortized cost if both of the following criteria are met and the financial assets are not designated as FVTPL: (i) the objective of the Company’s business model for these financial assets is to collect their contractual cash flows, and (ii) the asset’s contractual cash flows represent “solely payments of principal and interest”.

 

A provision is recorded when the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset is lower than its carrying amount. At each reporting period, the Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. When sold or impaired, any accumulated fair value adjustments previously recognized are included in profit or loss.

 

c.Reclassifications

 

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Company changes its business model for managing its financial assets.

 

ii)Derivative warrant liabilities

 

Share warrants (not including compensation warrants) are considered a derivative as they are not indexed solely to the Company’s own stock.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued convertible debentures with detachable warrants for the Company’s common shares. The warrants are classified as a derivative financial liability as they are potentially exercisable in cash or on a cashless basis resulting in a variable number of shares being issued. The warrants were initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at FVTPL.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate their fair values at each reporting date.

 

iii)Agent warrants and financing warrants

 

Warrants issued to agents in connection with equity financing are recorded at fair value and charged to share issuance costs associated with the offering with an offsetting credit to warrants reserve within shareholders’ equity.

 

Warrants included in units offered to subscribers in connection with financings are valued using the residual value method whereby proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of common shares and the excess, if any, allocated to warrants.

 

iv)Gold zero-cost collars

 

On initial recognition, gold zero-cost collars are designated as derivative financial instruments and measured at FVTPL. Gold zero-cost collars are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at FVTPL.

 

Transaction costs associated with financial instruments carried at FVTPL are expensed as incurred while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability.

 

The Company has classified and measured its financial instruments as described below:

 

·Amounts receivable and amounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as and measured at amortized cost; and
·Cash, derivative financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges, or are not designated as hedges, are classified as FVTPL.
Share-based payments

 

l)Share-based payments

 

Share-based payment transactions

 

The Company has a number of equity-settled share-based compensation plans under which the Company’s directors, employees and consultants receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of equity instruments for services rendered. In certain cases, the Company settles statutory withholding tax obligations in cash, based on the value of the Company’s common shares, when vested equity instruments are settled.

 

Where the value of goods or services received by the Company in exchange for equity instruments issued cannot be specifically measured, they are measured at fair value of the equity instrument granted. The Company’s share-based compensation plans are comprised of the following:

 

i)Stock options

 

Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the stock option vesting period based on the number of options estimated to vest. Management estimates the number of awards likely to vest at the time of a grant and at each reporting period up to the vesting date. On exercise of the vested options, shares are issued from treasury.

 

The grant-date fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and expensed on a straight-line basis using the graded vesting method over the vesting period. The cumulative expense which is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in share-based payment reserve.

 

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

 

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

 

ii)Restricted share units (“RSUs”)

 

Each RSU has a value equal to one TRX Gold common share. RSUs generally vest in common shares of the Company. The after-tax value of the award is settled by issuance of common shares from treasury upon vesting.

 

The grant-date fair value of RSUs is measured using the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant and expensed on a straight-line basis using the graded vesting method over the vesting period as a component of general and administrative expenses and cost of sales, depending on the grantee.

Revenue recognition

 

m)Revenue recognition

 

Revenue consists of proceeds received or expected to be received for the Company’s principal products, gold and silver doré. Revenue is recognized when control of gold and silver passes to the buyer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Control passes to the buyer based on terms of the sales contract, usually upon delivery of the product to the buyer. Product pricing is determined under the sales agreements which are referenced against active and freely traded commodity markets, for example, the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an identical form to the product sold. Gold and silver doré produced from Buckreef is sold at the prevailing spot market price based on London Fix Prices depending on the sales contract.

 

In addition to selling refined bullion at spot, the Company has a doré purchase agreement in place with a financial institution. Under the agreement, the Company has the option to sell up to 100% of the gold and silver contained in doré bars prior to the completion of refining by the third-party refiner. The Company has entered into an agreement with a third-party refiner and customer whereby the Company has provided irrevocable instructions to the refiner to transfer to the customer the refined ounces upon final processing outturn. Revenue is recognized when the Company delivers doré to the refiner and when payment of the purchase price for the purchased doré or bullion has been made in full by the customer. No judgement is involved in revenue recognition as revenue is recognized when payment has been sent by the customer and the product has been effectively delivered to the customer with no further involvement required of the Company.

 

In June 2025, the Company entered into a Gold Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Bank of Tanzania (“BOT”) to allocate at least 20% of gold production for domestic smelting, refining, and trading within the country at market prices for an initial period of thirty-six months. Under the agreement, the Company provisionally sells and receives proceeds from 95% of the gold and silver contained in doré bars prior to completion of refining by the Tanzania refiner designated by the BOT. The remaining 5% of gold and silver contained in doré bars is sold upon final processing outturn. The selling price is fixed at the original date of sale. Differences between provisional sales and final sales amounts relate to assay differences between the Company’s estimate and final processing outturn by the refiner. Revenue is recognized when the Company delivers doré to the refiner and when payment of the purchase price for the purchased doré or bullion has been made by the BOT. No judgement is involved in revenue recognition as revenue is recognized when payment has been sent by the customer and the product has been effectively delivered to the customer with no further involvement required of the Company.

Earnings (loss) per share

 

n)Earnings (loss) per share

 

The basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year includes vested common shares awards which have yet to be issued as little to no consideration is required to exercise. The diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding common share awards, stock options, RSUs and share purchase warrants in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive.

Related party transactions

 

o)Related party transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or if they are subject to common control or are controlled by parties that have significant influence over the entity. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount, being the amount agreed by the parties to the transaction.

New accounting pronouncements

 

p)New accounting pronouncements

 

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that the Company reasonably expects will have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date, are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective. Other standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, which are not expected to impact the Company have not been listed.

 

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statement. IFRS 18 aims to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and will impact the presentation of primary financial statements and notes, including the statement of earnings where companies will be required to present separate categories of income and expense for operating, investing, and financing activities with prescribed subtotals for each new category. IFRS 18 will also require management-defined performance measures to be explained and included in a separate note within the consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

 

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)

 

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities, clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, add new disclosures for financial instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows, and update the disclosure for equity investments designated at FVOCI.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments.
