18.	CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND PROMISSORY NOTES

	Convertible notes (or debentures) are compound financial instruments that are accounted for based on their components of financial liability and equity. The financial liability component represents the Company’s future obligation to pay coupon interest and principal. The liability component is initially measured at its net present value and subsequently measured at its amortized cost. After the net present value of the financial liability is determined, any residual amount is reported as an equity instrument at the convertible debentures’ issuance date.

	Transaction costs related to the issuance of convertible notes are apportioned to their respective financial liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds as a reduction to the carrying amount of each component.

	When valuing the financial liability component of the convertible notes, the Company used specific interest rates assuming no conversion features existed. The resulting liability component is accreted to its face value over the convertible note’s term until its maturity date.
