Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and cash flow for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Matt Pilloud.

Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on April 8, 1998 and on June 17, 1998 filed Articles of Amendment to remove certain private corporation restrictions. The registered address and records office of the Company is located at 18104 102 Avenue N.W., Edmonton, AB. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange as “TSX-V: GUF”. The Company commenced active operations during the 1999 fiscal year. The Company owns and operates commercial rental properties in Western Canada. The Company does not have any affiliates nor is it the subsidiary of any entity.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”. This has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods, and social distancing have caused material disruption to businesses resulting in a global economic disruption. At the same time, global equity markets have experienced historic volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize domestic economic conditions. The duration and eventual impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
COVID-19 has no physical impact on the three properties located in northern Alberta. However, COVID19 does significantly impact the daily operations of the Company, the operations of the tenants, the rental payments from tenants, the cost of operations at each property and the Company’s ability to access funds in the capital markets for financing.

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
- d) Critical judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ. The estimates and assumptions that the Company considered critical are described below:
i) Investment properties
The fair value of the investment properties is determined based on either internal valuation models incorporating market evidence or valuations performed by independent third party appraisers. The determination of the fair value of investment properties requires the use of estimates such as future cash flows from assets (such as tenant profiles, future revenue streams and overall repair and condition of the property) and discount rates applicable to those cash flows. These estimates are based on market conditions existing at the reporting date. The following approaches, either individually or in combination, are used in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties:
The Direct Capitalization Income Approach derives market value by estimating the future cash flows that will be generated by the property and then applying an appropriate capitalization rate or discount rate to those cash flows. This approach can utilize the direct capitalization method and/or the discounted cash flow analysis.
The Direct Comparison Approach involves comparing or contrasting the recent sale, listing or optioned prices of properties comparable to the subject and adjusting for any significant differences between them.
Management reviews each appraisal (when obtained) and ensures the assumptions used by the appraisers are reasonable and the final fair value amount reflects those assumptions used in the various approaches above. Where an external appraisal is not obtained at the reporting date, management prepares internal valuations, for each investment property, to estimate the fair value.
Judgment is also applied in determining the extent and frequency of independent appraisals in order to determine fair values. The significant assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of investment properties are set out in note 3.
In addition, the Company makes judgments with respect to whether tenant improvement expenditures represent an asset with a future economic benefit to the Company which impacts whether or not such amounts are treated as additions to the investment properties.

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
- d) Critical judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)
ii) Leases
The Company makes judgments in determining whether certain leases, in particular those tenant leases with long contractual terms where the lessee is the sole tenant in a property, are operating or finance leases. The Company has determined that all of its leases are operating leases.
Additional critical accounting estimates and assumptions include those used for estimating current and deferred taxes and purchase price payable, assessing the allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables and determining the values of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements unless otherwise indicated.
- a) Fair value of investment property
Significant portions of the Company's operating assets are considered investment properties under IAS 40, Investment Property ("IAS 40"). Investment property includes land and buildings held primarily to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or for sale in the ordinary course of business. The Company's revenue producing properties are classified as investment properties. Investment properties are initially measured at cost including transaction costs under IAS 40. However, subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are recorded at fair value, which reflects an orderly transaction between market participants and current market conditions, at each financial position statement date. Gains and losses from changes in fair values are recorded in net income in the period in which they arise.
Leasing costs and lease incentives, which include costs incurred to make leasehold improvements to tenants' space, are added to the carrying amount of investment properties and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of investment properties revenue.
- b) Deferred financing fees
Financing fees incurred in connection with long-term debt financing are included with the related debt and are amortized using the effective interest rate basis.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- c) Financial instruments
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into three measurement categories on initial recognition: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and amortized cost. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured by default at FVTPL. IFRS 9 permits entities to elect into an irrevocable option for equity instruments to report changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
Classification and measurement of financial assets is dependent on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and related contractual cash flows. The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
| Asset/Liability | Classification under IFRS 9 |
|---|---|
| Investments | FVTPL |
| Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Mortgages | Amortized cost |
| Purchase price payable | Amortized cost |
| Loan payable | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
Financial instruments with substantive characteristics of both a financial liability and equity instrument are accounted for through separate classification of the liability and equity elements. The debt component is recognized at fair value and the residual value is allocated to the conversion feature, classified as equity. The initial liability balance recognized is less than the face value of the debt. Therefore, the liability balance is accreted over the term of the debt. The accretion represents the amortization of the debt discount net of actual interest paid. The accretion of the original debt discount is charged to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity elements in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds.
Long-term debt, consisting of mortgages payable and loan payable, is initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transactions costs. After initial recognition, long-term debt is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
IFRS 9 has a three-stage expected credit loss (“ECL”) model for determining impairment of financial assets. The expected credit loss model does not require the occurrence of a triggering event before an entity recognizes credit losses. IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognize expected credit losses upon initial recognition of a financial asset and to update the quantum of expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes to credit risk of the financial asset.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation granted to directors, officers and employees is measured at the fair value of the grants on the grant date. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using an accepted option pricing model. IFRS requires an initial estimate of the number of equity settled instruments that are expected to vest based on expected forfeitures, and subsequently adjustments are made to the estimate to reflect the actual number of equity settled instruments that vest, unless forfeitures are due to market based vesting conditions. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to vest, by increasing contributed surplus. Upon exercise of the stock options, consideration paid together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus is recorded as an increase to share capital.
The fair value of options granted to consultants is determined using fair value of the goods or services received. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at fair value of the equity instruments issued. The resulting value is charged to operations over the service period. A corresponding increase in contributed surplus is recorded when stock options are expensed. When stock options are exercised, share capital is credited by the sum of the consideration paid and the related portion previously recorded in contributed surplus.
e) Issue costs
The Company accounts for costs related to issuing equity as a charge against share capital in the period incurred.
f) Revenue recognition
Rental income from tenants under leases include components within the scope of IFRS 16, Leases. The Company uses the straight-line method of recognizing rental revenue whereby the total amount of rental revenue to be received from all leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. Step rent recorded on the statement of comprehensive income represents the difference between rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amount of rent contractually due under the lease agreements. Realty tax recoveries are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Common area recoveries are considered non-lease components and within the scope of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The performance obligation for the recovery of common area recoveries is satisfied over time. The Company receives variable consideration for the common area recoveries under the lease to the extent costs have been incurred, and revenue is recognized on this basis as the best estimate of amounts earned over the period these services are performed. At the end of the period, revenue is constrained by actual costs incurred and any restrictions in the lease agreement with each tenant.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
f) Revenue recognition (continued)
Interest income is recognized in earnings on an accrual basis and to the extent not received at year end, recorded as a receivable.
A property is regarded as sold and the gain or loss on sale is recognized when the significant risks and returns have been transferred to the buyer, which is normally upon closing on unconditional contracts. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized only when all the significant conditions are satisfied.
g) Lease liabilities
The Company measures the lease liability and right-of-use asset at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. The variable lease payments that do no depend on an index or a rate, such as property tax and common area maintenance recoveries, are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow funds over a similar term to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset. After the lease commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the lease payments.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated on straight-line basis over the lease term and is subject to impairment testing.
h) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences (differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities) and tax loss carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when these differences reverse.

Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Stated in Canadian Dollars)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
h) Income taxes (continued)
Income tax assets are recognized to the extent that management believes that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Income tax expense or benefit is the sum of the Company's provision for current income taxes and the difference between the beginning and ending balances of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in income (loss).
i) Income (loss) per share
Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase options and warrants, if dilutive.
The number of additional shares included in the calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on the conversion of all potentially dilutive options and warrants into common shares.
If the number of shares increases or decreases as a result of capitalization, bonus issue, share splits or share consolidation, earnings per share is accounted for retrospectively. If these transactions occur after the reporting period but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, income (loss) per share is calculated based on the new number of shares.
j) Related party transactions
All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of business and are measured at the amount agreed to by the parties involved in the transactions.
k) Provisions
A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.

The Company holds three investment properties and determines the fair value of each investment property based on external appraisals and internal review.
External appraisals for the three properties, totaling $41,400,000, were obtained for the year ended December 31, 2016. As at December 31, 2020, internal fair value for the three properties of $39,600,000 (2019 - $39,600,000) was determined based on the direct capitalization income approach as defined below. Capitalization rates of 7.00% to 7.25% as at December 31, 2020 (2019 - 7.00% to 7.25%) were used to determine the fair value of the properties. The weighted average capitalization rate for December 31, 2020 was 7.15% (2019 - 7.15%).
As at December 31, 2020, management performed an assessment of the underlying inputs and principles of the December 31, 2016 appraisals. As a result, management recorded an aggregate fair value adjustment of $256,303 to increase the carrying value of the properties as at December 31, 2020.
The internal fair values were based on the direct capitalization income approach with reference to the direct comparison approach and external appraisers for additional support. The fair value is determined by applying a capitalization rate to stabilized net operating income which incorporates allowances for vacancy, management fees and structural reserves for capital expenditures for the investment property. The resulting capitalized value is further adjusted, where appropriate, for costs to stabilize the income and non-recoverable capital expenditures.

3. Investment Properties (continued)
Management will obtain new external appraisals if the conditions disclosed change materially. The Company has classified the three investment properties as level 3 based on the fair value hierarchy.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures which include the implementation of travel bans, selfimposed quarantine periods, and social distancing have caused material disruption to businesses resulting in a global economic disruption. As at December 31, 2020, the duration and eventual impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown. It is currently not possible to estimate the long term impact that COVID-19 will have in determining estimates of fair market value for the Company's investment properties. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of fair value could potentially be impacted, all of which may impact the underlying valuation of the investment properties.

4. Mortgages (continued)
On April 2, 2020, the Company completed a $3,000,000 non-revolving loan financing from Canadian Western Bank. The non-revolving loan is repayable in monthly payments of principal and interest, at a fixed rate of 4.48% for the first 5 years, starting August 1, 2020. The proceeds from the new loan were used to repay the principal on the existing loan payable disclosed in note 8.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company and Lender agreed to defer payments of interest and principal for 4 of the 5 mortgages during the months of April, May, and June of 2020. Interest continued to accrue on the deferred payments and regular payments resumed in July of 2020.
The unamortized mortgage financing costs consist of fees and costs incurred to obtain the mortgage financing less accumulated amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2020, interest expense on the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) includes amortized mortgage financing costs of $2,722 (2019 - $32,260).
Principal repayments required under the terms of the mortgages are as follows:

6. Purchase Price Payable
In December 2006, the Company acquired the Tri-City Mall in Cold Lake, Alberta and agreed to pay an additional $658,776 if and when the property became fully leased at any time up to December 31, 2021. Since the Company expects to fully lease the property by this time, the contingency has been fully provided for and was added to the cost of the acquisition. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the property was not fully leased.
7. Financial instruments hierarchy and investments at fair value
Fair value measurements are based on a three-level fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in determining fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:
Level 1 - inputs used to value financial assets and liabilities are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs used to value financial assets and liabilities are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.
Level 3 - inputs used to value financial assets and liabilities are not based on observable market data.

13. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Fair Value
The Company's cash, accounts receivable and other financial liabilities, which includes loan payable, purchase price payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Such fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that the Company might pay or receive in actual market transactions.
Management has determined that the fair value of mortgages payable does not differ from its carrying value as underlying interest rates are not materially different than current market conditions. The valuation method is classified as level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. The Company has no financial instruments at level 3.
The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of holding financial instruments: market risk (i.e. interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks that impact the fair values of financial instruments); credit risk; and liquidity risk.
The following is a description of these risks and how they are managed:
-23-
Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Stated in Canadian Dollars)
13. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
Market Risk
Market risk is defined for these purposes as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes the risk of changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and changes in market prices due to factors other than interest rates or currency exchange rates such as changes in equity prices, commodity prices or credit spreads.
The Company has fixed rate mortgages and as a result, fluctuations in interest rates does not have a significant impact on the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company is subject to fair value risk on its fixed rate mortgages.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfil their lease commitments. The Company mitigates this risk of credit loss by diversifying its tenant mix and by limiting its exposure to any one tenant. The Company believes that the credit risk of trade accounts receivable is minimal as the balance receivable is limited to the amount receivable as at December 31, 2020 of $257,165 (2019 - $196,679).
Rent and common area and realty tax recoveries are past due when a tenant has failed to make a payment when contractually due. Rent past due amounts to $140,913 (2019 - $10,622).
Equity Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company's investment in the common shares of a related company, Plato Gold Corp., is subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the equity market. At December 31, 2020, should the equity prices of the Company’s holdings increase or decrease by 5%, the impact on net income (loss) would be approximately $2,034 (2019 - $2,441).

13. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage, as outlined in note 14. It also manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business. The Company is subject to the risk associated with debt financing, including the ability to refinance indebtedness at maturity. The Company believes these risks are mitigated through the use of long-term debt with maturities over an extended period of time.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, purchase price payable, loan payable and mortgages.
The following are contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities at December 31, 2020:
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Loan payable Mortgages Purchase price payable |
2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Total |

14. Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:
-
a) to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and
-
b) to provide adequate return to shareholders by obtaining an appropriate amount of debt commensurate with the level of risk, to reduce after-tax cost of capital.
The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company includes equity in its definition of capital. Equity is comprised of share capital, contributed surplus and retained earnings. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristic of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may repurchase shares, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company’s objective is met by retaining adequate liquidity to provide for the possibility that cash flows from assets will not be sufficient to meet future cash flow requirements.
