The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Although we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used. Changes in the accounting estimates used by the Company are reasonably likely to occur from time to time, which may have a material effect on the presentation of financial condition and results of operations.
The Company reviews these estimates, judgments and assumptions periodically and reflect the effects of revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020, aside from the following additions:
Discontinued Operations
Judgement is required in determining whether a subsidiary or group of assets qualifies as a business and as discontinued operations. A business is presumed to be an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing economic benefits. The Company determined that the assets sold were a business. The Company derecognizes a subsidiary or a group of assets only when the rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the subsidiary or group of asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to another entity. Determination of the date of recognition was based on the closing date, final clearance, and approval by the TSX of the share issuances forming part of the consideration. As all consideration is in CDN$ and the share value is based on fixed CDN$ values, regardless of the share price of the underlying stock, the amounts were translated at the spot foreign exchange rate on the date of final closing. The valuation of the note receivable was included at its nominal value of $NIL as payment of the note is not determinable.
