Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions, were eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

a)       Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, have been omitted or condensed. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

  

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 14, 2023.

 

b)       Basis of measurement

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value.

 

c)       Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. For significant estimates and judgements refer to Note 7 and Note 9 of these interim consolidated financial statements as well as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the current period the Company entered into a convertible debt arrangement and accordingly the following are new estimates and judgements.

 

Fair value of embedded derivatives

 

The Company is required to determine the fair value of embedded derivatives related to conversion features and redemption options as at the reporting date. Since the embedded derivatives are not traded in an active market, their fair value is based on estimates and valuation techniques as disclosed in Note 9.

On June 15, 2022, the maturity date of the debentures was extended to October 4, 2023, with the extension being treated as a modification of the original debt with the classification changing from current to long-term liabilities. As a result, a gain of $803 on modification of debt was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. In connection with the extension, the Company cancelled 412,000 warrants from the previous agreement. On extension the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares at an exercise price of C$2.25 per share. The value of these warrants was incorporated in the $803 gain on modification of debt. The warrants expire on the debt maturity date of October 4, 2023.

 

The unsecured debentures include 8% annual interest paid at maturity with $449 being recorded as borrowing costs on June 15, 2022, and an effective interest rate of 24%.

9.CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

On March 27, 2023, the Corporation completed a private placement of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of C$4 million. The convertible debentures are issued in denominations of C$1 thousand, bear interest at 15% per annum, and mature 18 months from the closing date. Interest payments on the convertible debentures are due on the twelve-month anniversary and/or the maturity date of September 27, 2024.

 

Each convertible debenture is convertible at the holder’s option into Units at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of C$1.45 per Unit. Upon conversion, each Unit will consist of one Common Share and 0.2 of a Warrant. Each Warrant is exercisable into a Common Share at an exercise price of C$1.45 for a period of thirty-six months following the initial debenture closing date. The convertible debenture is redeemable at the Company’s option at any time after 12 months, with 30 days notice, at a redemption price of 105% of the principal, payable in cash, plus any accrued interest up to the maturity date.

 

The unsecured convertible debentures represent financial instruments that include host debentures accounted for at amortized cost and embedded derivatives related to the conversion feature and redemption option, which are separated from the convertible debentures and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of loss.
