INVENTRONICS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Unaudited
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Inventronics Limited (“Corporation”), a corporation publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol IVX is an individual entity incorporated in Alberta, Canada that is not part of any group of other entities. The Corporation, with its operations located in Brandon, Manitoba, designs and manufactures custom protective enclosures and related products for the telecommunications, electric transmission, cable, oil & gas and other industries in North America. The operations of the Corporation have historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations showing a close correlation with the North American construction industry. Typically, the pattern has been an elevated order volume beginning in the Corporation’s first quarter and continuing through much of the second quarter, a slowdown through the first part of the third quarter as summer vacations take effect, with a second wave of elevated activity in the latter part of the third quarter usually extending into the mid-fourth quarter.
2. DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUE
The Corporation’s financial statements were authorized for issue on November 26, 2020 by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies and methods applied in the preparation of the Corporation's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. As such, these interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures with respect to the requirements under IFRS for annual financial statements and thus should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2019 audited annual financial statements. The accounting principles applied are on the basis that the Corporation is a going concern, which assumes that the Corporation will continue operations into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. All amounts in these financial statements are reported in Canadian dollars unless specifically stated to the contrary.
4. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There are no new accounting standards, interpretations and/or amendments that the Corporation is required to adopt for 2020.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Corporation's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, bank indebtedness, trade and other payables and long-term debt. The carrying values of these assets and liabilities are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items or, in the case of long-term debt, due to the market interest rate attached to the long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents and bank indebtedness are disclosed at fair value under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and long-term debt are disclosed at fair value under Level 2.
