Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
NatureBank Asset Management Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 6, 2005 under the Business Corporations Act (BC). The Company was classified as a Capital Pool Company and completed an initial public offering and commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on April 25, 2006.
The Company’s head office, principal address, and registered and records office is located at Unit 300-948 Homer Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 2W7, Canada.
The Company’s primary business is the sourcing, financing, development and commercialization of sustainable commodities across the agro-forestry and carbon sectors.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and continue operations for the next twelve months.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company has negative working capital at September 30, 2020 and may require additional funding and/or profitable operations for the upcoming year. Material uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to secure additional funding or deliver profitable operations may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Realizable values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. General Information and Basis of Preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies applied for the year ending December 31, 2019 and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the 2019 annual consolidated financial statements. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, selected notes are included that are significant to understanding the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Where applicable comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 30, 2020.
