Critical Accounting Estimates and Change in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s 2020 audited consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates remain the same as disclosed in the 2020 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, short-term investment, and trade and other payables. All of the financial instruments are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company does not use derivative instruments or hedges to manage various risks because the Company’s exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risks (including interest rate risk and currency risk) is relatively low. Cash is held through large financial institutions. Additional disclosures relating to the Company’s financial instruments can be found in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data
The following table describes the outstanding share data of the Company as at August 12, 2021:
| Number Outstanding | |
