Financial assets and financial liabilities will be recognized on the balance sheet when <strong>UFA</strong> be<strong>com</strong>es party to the<br />

contractual provisions of the financial instrument. <strong>UFA</strong> classifies financial assets and liabilities according to their<br />

characteristics and management’s choices and intentions related thereto for the purposes of ongoing<br />

measurement.<br />

All financial instruments are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Subsequent measurement is at<br />

amortized cost, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which are held at fair value.<br />

Use of Estimates<br />

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for<br />

private enterprises requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in<br />

the consolidated financial statements and ac<strong>com</strong>panying notes. These estimates are based on management’s<br />

best knowledge of current events and actions that <strong>UFA</strong> may undertake in the future. Management believes that the<br />

estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when<br />

accounting for such items as inventory provisions, depreciation, pension obligation, in<strong>com</strong>e and other taxes, asset<br />

retirement obligations and testing goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. Information presented and<br />

estimates used in the financial statements do not reflect anticipated resolutions to uncertainties by management.<br />
