Historical cost is the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services, which is generally based upon the fair value at the time of the transaction of the consideration given in exchange for assets. iii) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. iv) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency, except for the Company’s investment in associate in alpha-cannabis Pharma GmbH, for which the functional currency has been determined to be Euros. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Canadian Dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Canadian Dollars using average exchange rates for the month during which the transactions occurred. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account. When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If the Company disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation that remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the subsidiary is reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.
