Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted by the Company for the first period following the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards and amendments, that are expected to be relevant, is provided below.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material

The amendments provide a consistent definition of materiality throughout International Financial Reporting Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information. In particular, the amendments clarify: (i) that the reference to obscuring information addresses situations in which the effect is similar to omitting or misstating that information, and that an entity assesses materiality in the context of the financial statements as a whole, and (ii) the meaning of ‘primary users of general purpose financial statements’ to whom those financial statements are directed, by defining them as ‘existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors’ that must rely on general purpose financial statements for much of the financial information they need.

The Company's current practices are in line with these criteria, so the application of these amendments did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results in the period, nor are they expected to do so in the future.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts, such as removing the probability threshold for recognition and adding guidance on derecognition, or adding guidance on different measurement basis. No changes were made to any of the current accounting standards.

The Company’s accounting policies are still appropriate under the revised Framework, so these amendments had no impact on the Company's financial position or results in the period.
