INVENTRONICS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 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 protective enclosures and related products for the telecommunications, electric transmission, cable, energy and other industries in North America.
2. DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUE
The Corporation’s financial statements were authorized for issue on August 22, 2024 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, 2023. As such, these interim financial statements do not include all disclosures with respect to the requirements under IFRS for annual financial statements and thus should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2023 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. Management routinely plans future activities including forecasting cash flows using detailed projections that are based in part on historical experience as well as anticipated revenue and profit streams. All amounts in these financial statements are reported in Canadian dollars unless specifically stated to the contrary.
4. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting pronouncements that became effective during the period covered by these unaudited interim financial statements did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s reporting. Likewise, accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective until after June 30, 2024, are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Corporation's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, 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.
