REVISION AND REVISION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(
a)
Restatement of financial statements
 
Management identified operational issues in customer enrolment and non-payment in the Texas residential market. Management revisited the allowance for doubtful accounts as at
March 31, 2019
and determined that additional reserves of
$53.7
million were required at
March 31, 2019.
Management also identified collection issues in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) market and determined that additional reserves of
$57.5
million were required at
March 31, 2019.
Management determined that the understatement was material, and as a result the financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2019
should be restated. Accordingly, in compliance with IAS
10,
Events after the balance sheet date, the authorization date of these financial statements has been updated to
August 14, 2019,
and the financial statements reflect all subsequent events up to this date.
 
The following tables summarize the effects of the adjustment described above.

(b)
Revision of financial statements
 
During the
fourth
quarter ended
March 31, 2019,
management identified immaterial errors in certain balance sheet accounts related to flat delivery gas markets. These errors relate to fiscal years ended
March 31, 2017
and earlier.
 
In accordance with accounting guidance in IAS
8,
Accounting policies, accounting estimates and errors, as well as guidance found in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin
No.
99,
Materiality, and Staff Accounting Bulletin
No.
108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, the Company assessed the materiality of the errors and concluded that it was
not
material to any of the Company’s previously issued financial statements. The Company assessed that correcting these historical errors in the current period would be material to the current period. The Company revised its opening retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented to correct the effect of the matters. The revision does
not
have an impact on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for fiscal
2018
and
2019.
 
The errors occurred before the earliest period presented in the financial statements, and as a result the net effect on opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity of
$14.2
million was recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The following table presents the effect of the correction on the consolidated statement of financial position as at
March 31, 2018.
