Note 19. Financial Instruments

 The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and convertible promissory note approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

       (a)     Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. 

daifu extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment.

(b)     Currency Risk

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in CAD, HK$ and RMB. The Company has not, to the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. 

If the Canadian dollar had weakened (strengthened) against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, by 100 basis points (1%) at year end, the impact on net loss and other comprehensive loss would have been $7 higher ($7 lower). 

If the Hong Kong dollar had weakened (strengthened) against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, by 100 basis points (1%) at year end, the impact on net loss and other comprehensive loss would have been $12,048 higher ($12,048 lower). 

If the Renminbi had weakened (strengthened) against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, by 100 basis points (1%) at year end, the impact on net loss and other comprehensive loss would have been $5,549 higher ($5,549 lower). 

(c)     Interest Rate Risk

The Company has cash balances and fixed interest-bearing debt.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest risk arising from these financial instruments. 

 (c)     Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company is reliant upon successful financing and the operations of daifu as its sources of cash. The Company has received financing from private placements in the past; however, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue obtaining financing or maintain profitable operations in the future.
