Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Avricore Health Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on May 30, 2000. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under symbol “AVCR” and are quoted on the OTCIQ Market as “NUVPF”. The Company’s registered office is at 700 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3T5.
The Company is involved in the business of health data and point-of-care technologies (“POC”).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has always experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Operations have been funded by the issuance of share capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from its operations, or raise additional financing to cover ongoing cash requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. Since then, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from COVID-19. The Company continues to operate the business forward at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, including the duration and impact on the Company’s future plans, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2020.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3(n). Actual results might differ from these estimates. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying judgments on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the year in which the estimates are revised.
c)Basis of consolidation
Consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of all entities controlled by the Company. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Company’s the consolidated financial statements. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year, its results are included for that part of the year during which control exists.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled wholly owned subsidiaries, Vanc Marine Pharmaceuticals Inc. and HealthTab Inc.
3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a)Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are generated from operating leases of the POC system and sale of testing panels. Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and it is shown net of tax and discounts. The Company also earned revenue from the sale of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals (“OTC”), however, the Company discontinued this segment during the year ended December 31, 2019 (see Note 16).
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services by applying the following steps:
•Identify the contract with a client;
•Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
•Determine the transaction price;
•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
•Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue may be earned over time as the performance obligations are satisfied or at a point in time which is when the entity has earned a right to payment, the customer has possession of the asset and the related significant risks and rewards of ownership, and the customer has accepted the asset.
The Company's arrangements with clients can include multiple performance obligations. When contracts involve various performance obligations, the Company evaluates whether each performance obligation is distinct and should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
a)Revenue recognition (continued)
The Company determines the standalone selling price by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, our marketing strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of standalone selling prices is made through consultation with and approval by management, taking into consideration our go-to-market strategy. As the Company's go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative standalone selling prices.
The Company generally receives payment from its clients after invoicing within the normal 28-day commercial terms. If a client is specifically identified as a credit risk, recognition of revenue is stopped except to the extent of fees that have already been collected.
b)Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach does not require restatement of prior period financial information as it recognizes the cumulative effect as an adjustment to opening retained earnings and applies the standard prospectively.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a lessee the right to control the use of lessor’s identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company adopted the following significant accounting policy effective January 1, 2019:
The Company as a lessee
A lease liability is recognized at the commencement of the lease term at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. At the commencement date, a corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received, retirement costs and initial direct costs. Depreciation is recognized on the right-of-use asset over the lease term. Interest expense is recognized on the lease liabilities using the effective interest rate method and payments are applied against the lease liability.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities of $68,253 in relation to lease arrangements measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted by commitments in relation to arrangements not containing leases, short-term and low-value leases, and discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The incremental borrowing rate used to determine the lease liabilities at adoption was 12%. The associated right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019, with no impact on deficit. See Note 8 – "Right-of-Use Assets" and Note 12 – "Lease Liabilities" for additional information regarding the Company's leases.
Key areas where management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions related to the application of IFRS 16 include:
-The incremental borrowing rates are based on judgments including economic environment, term, currency, and the underlying risk inherent to the asset. The carrying balance of the right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, and the resulting interest expense and depreciation expense, may differ due to changes in the market conditions and lease term.
-Lease terms are based on assumptions regarding extension terms that allow for operational flexibility and future market conditions.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
b)Leases
The Company as a lessor
A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. All other leases are classified as finance leases.
Leases of the Company’s POC systems to customers are classified are operating leases. Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis. All costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the operating lease income are recognized as an expense. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. The depreciation for depreciable underlying assets subject to operating leases is in accordance with depreciation policy for the Company’s equipment.
c)Foreign currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
d)Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term guaranteed investment certificates readily convertible into a known amount of cash, which is subject to insignificant change in value.
e)Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials comprising the ingredients used to manufacture OTC pharmaceuticals, as well as the packaging for these products, and finished goods comprising Canadian generic pharmaceuticals. All inventories are recorded at the lower of cost on a weighted average basis and net realizable value. The stated value of all inventories includes purchase, shipping and freight, and quality control testing. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence.
f)Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s equipment, which consists of computer, furniture, equipment and computer systems are amortized at 30%, and the straight-line method for leasehold improvements over the term of the lease.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
g)Intangible assets
All intangible assets acquired separately by the Company are recorded at cost on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets comprise of intellectual property, trademarks and web domains and distribution rights, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. Amortization rates are reviewed annually to ensure they are aligned with estimates of remaining economic useful lives of the associated intangible assets.
h)Share-based payments
The Company operates an incentive share purchase option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share- based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
i)Share capital
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Any previously recorded share-based payment included in the reserves account is transferred to share capital on exercise of options. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is valued at the closing market price at the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of warrants is recorded in share capital, and any related amount recorded in warrants reserve is transferred to share capital.
j)Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented.
k)Income taxes
Income tax expense, consisting of current and deferred tax expense, is recognized in the statements of operations. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income (loss) in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
k)Income taxes (continued)
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
l)Financial Instruments
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL and accounts receivable, accounts payable and lease liabilities as amortized cost.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets at FVTOCI
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as they arise.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
l)Financial Instruments
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.
The Company provides information about its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
m)Impairment of equipment and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, if there are indicators of impairment, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Individual assets are grouped together as a cash generating unit for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other group assets.
If any such indication of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where the carrying amount of a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the cash generating unit and are discounted to their present value with a discount rate that reflects the current market indicators.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the cash generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
n)Significant accounting estimates and judgments
Estimates
Significant estimates used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Inventory valuation
The Company estimates the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by regulatory changes or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices. In determining net realizable value, the Company considers such factors as turnover, historical experience, expiry dates and shelf life of the products. A change to these assumptions could impact the Company’s inventory valuation and gross margin. The Company attempts to sell products with short shelf life with significant rebates. Any unsold products with short shelf life and expired products are written-off.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
n)Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Useful lives of depreciable assets
The Company reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utilization of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utilization of certain equipment.
Intangible assets
The recoverability of the carrying value of the intangible assets is dependent on successful development and commercial stage to the point where revenue is possible. The carrying value of these assets is reviewed by management when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recovered. If impairment is determined to exist, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Share-based payments
The Company grants share-based awards to certain directors, officers, employees, consultants and other eligible persons. For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and credited to the reserves over the vesting period using the graded vesting method, after adjusting for the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.
The fair value of equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For equity-settled awards to non-employees, the fair value is measured at each vesting date. The estimate of warrant and option valuation also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the volatility, expected life of warrants and options, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s options and warrants issued. Management must also make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized.
Judgements
Significant judgments used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria expressed in the accounting policy stated above for Revenue Recognition have been met. Judgment may be required when allocating revenue or discounts on sales amongst the various elements in a sale involving multiple deliverables.
Deferred tax assets
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognized in full.

Going concern
The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.
o)Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to confirm to the current period’s presentation on the consolidated statements of financial position, comprehensive loss and changes in equity.
4.ACQUISITION
On December 28, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all the common shares of HealthTab Inc. (“HealthTab”). HealthTab’s primary asset is intellectual property and certain trademarks and web domains related to the design of the HealthTab system, being a lab-accurate, point of care testing platform. Under the share purchase agreement, the consideration to be paid by the Company is as follows:
·Cash payment of $100,000 upon signing of the share purchase agreement (paid);
·Cash payment of $100,000 in six equal monthly instalments after the closing date (paid);
·Issue 880,000 common shares no later than 125 days after the closing date (issued);
·Issue 880,000 common shares no later than 245 days after the closing date (issued);
·Issue 906,667 common shares no later than 365 days after the closing date (issued);
·Issue common shares equal to the higher of $100,000 or 5% of net sales related to HealthTab for the year ended December 2018 by January 31, 2019 (issued); and
·Issue common shares equal to the higher of $100,000 or 5% of net sales related to HealthTab for the year ended December 2019 by January 31, 2020 (issued subsequent to the year end)
This acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities as HealthTab did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The shares to be issued have been valued based on the Company’s share price on the acquisition. Due to the uncertainty associated with future revenue derived from HealthTab, the Company has estimated the 2020 share issuances to be $100,000 (See note 23).

22.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and lease liabilities. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks and the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies.
a)Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The cash equivalent is composed of a guaranteed investment certificate and is issued by a Canadian bank with high investment-grade ratings. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset-backed commercial paper.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivable, but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data.
Approximately 45% of trade receivables are due from one customer at December 31, 2019 (2018 – 51% from one customer).
Pursuant to their collective terms, accounts receivable from customers were aged as follows:

|

|
b)Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity risk has been assessed as high.
The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources, and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing. The Company anticipates it will have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through future equity contributions, however, there can be no guarantees that sufficient funds will be raised.
As at December 31, 2019, the Company’s liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities of $673,850 (2018 - $314,239).

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
c)Market risk
Market risk for the Company consists of currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As all of the Company’s purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and it has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at this time.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Company’s policy is to invest cash at floating interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders.
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
d)Fair value of financials instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value. For accounts receivable and accounts payable, carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity;
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities and amounts resulting from direct arm’s length transactions.
Cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices or from amounts resulting from direct arm’s length transactions. As a result, these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term. Derivatives are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using price models. These models require a variety of inputs, including, but not limited to, contractual terms, market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads. The Company has no financial instruments at this level.
Level 3:
Inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data. Currently, the Company has no financial instruments at this level.
