2 Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are compliant with IAS 34 and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 2020. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized in note 4.
The consolidated financial statements, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements, are presented in Canadian dollars ($) which is the Company’s presentation currency and the functional currency of the parent Company. The functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Mongolian National Tögrög (MNT).
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for issue on May 12, 2021.

4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in net income (loss) in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Significant estimates made in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the following areas:
- Fair value of investment properties - The estimate of fair value of investment properties is the most critical accounting estimate to the Company. An external appraiser estimates the fair value of the majority of investment properties by dollar value annually.
The remaining balance of investment properties was valued internally. The fair value of investment properties is based on the nature, location and condition of the specific asset. The fair value of investment properties represents an estimate of the price that would be made in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. This fair value assumes that the Company is in possession of the property’s land and property titles where applicable. Management judges that the Company has the appropriate titles for each of the properties classified as Investment Properties. Properties whereby Management judges that the Company’s titles are at risk, have been impaired to reflect the level of risk estimated by Management.
-
The Company operates in the emerging real estate market of Mongolia, which given its current economic, political and industry conditions, gives rise to an increased inherent risk given the lack of reliable and comparable market information. The significant estimates underlying the fair value determination are disclosed in note 8. Changes in assumptions about these factors could materially affect the carrying value of investment properties.
-
Valuation of marketable securities - The Company recognizes marketable securities at fair value. Fair value is determined on the basis of market prices from independent sources, if available. If there is no market price, then the fair value is determined by using valuation models with inputs derived from observable market data where possible but where observable data is not available, judgement is required to establish fair values.

4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
-
Operating environment of the Company - Mongolia displays many characteristics of an emerging market including relatively high inflation and interest rates. The tax and customs legislation in Mongolia is subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes.
-
The future economic performance of Mongolia is tied to the continuing demand from China and global prices for commodities as well as being dependent upon the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the Government of Mongolia together with tax, legal, regulatory and political developments. Management is unable to predict all developments that could have an impact on the Mongolian economy and consequently what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial position of the Company.
Significant judgements made in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the following:
-
Judgement is required in determining whether an asset meets the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and or as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Criteria considered by management include the existence of and commitment to a plan to dispose of the assets, the expected selling price of the assets, the probability of the sale being completed within an expected time frame of one year and the period of time any amounts have been classified within assets held for sale. The Company reviews the criteria for assets held for sale each quarter and reclassifies such assets to or from this financial position category as appropriate. On completion of the sale, management exercises judgement as to whether the sale qualifies as a discontinued operation.
-
As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Management has made the judgment that none of the Company’s assets meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. While this is due to a number of factors, a primary reason is that due to the conditions of the Mongolian economy and the lack of liquidity in the market, management was unable to conclude that the sale of any significant size asset could be considered highly probable.
-
Judgement is required in determining whether the Company’s Investment property and land use rights titles are at risk. As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Management has made the judgment that Investment Properties whereby the land title has recently expired but is expected to be renewed in the near future should continue to be classified as Investment Properties. Properties whereby Management judges that the Company’s titles are at risk, have been impaired to reflect the level of risk estimated by Management.

18 COVID-19
Beginning in February of 2020, the Government of Mongolia undertook extra-ordinary actions in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 or other COVID-19 related impacts. These actions included closing borders, closing schools, reducing gatherings and drastic limitations on business operations. As long-term investors in Mongolia, the Corporation welcomes these actions that keep the people of Mongolia safe from COVID-19; however it is anticipated that these actions will lead to a severe economic crisis. Since the initiation of these actions, the Company has experienced a material reduction in rental revenues received. It is reasonable to expect there could be a material negative impact on the fair values of investment properties and/or marketable securities, however at this time the potential effect cannot be quantified. At this time, there is no way to know the ultimate impact of these extra-ordinary actions upon the economy or the Company.
