periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

8. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

The critical judgment that the Company's management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company's financial statements is related to the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.

For a summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 of the interim financial statements. Management believes it has made estimates that best reflect the facts and circumstances, however, actual results may differ from estimates.
