Fair value hierarchy<br />
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that<br />
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:<br />
Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.<br />
Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar<br />
instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and<br />
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.<br />
Level 3 – valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.<br />
A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.<br />
a) Fair value:<br />
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, share subscription receivable, restricted cash, bank loan, other loan, trade and other payables,<br />
promissory notes from shareholders and repayable grants equals their fair value because of the near-term maturity of these instruments.<br />
The other loans are carried at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the use of discount rates the Company would expect<br />
for similar loans. The carrying value of the repayable government grant and the advance on the revenues from a supply agreement are<br />
considered to approximate fair value as the rates are similar to those the Company would expect for similar loans having the same maturities<br />
and relationships with the lenders.<br />
b) Financial risk management<br />
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.<br />
The Company’s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the oversight of these risks and reviews the Company’s policies on an<br />
ongoing basis to ensure that these risks are appropriately managed.<br />
i) Credit risk:<br />
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer, partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its<br />
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash, investments, receivables and share subscription receivable and share<br />
purchase loan to an officer. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.<br />
The financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk are primarily cash, restricted cash and trade accounts receivable.<br />
The Company reviews a new customer’s credit history before extending credit and conducts regular reviews of its existing customers’ credit<br />
performance.<br />
The Company evaluates accounts receivable balances based on the age of the receivable, credit history of the customers and past collection<br />
experience. As at December 31, <strong>2012</strong>, there were doubtful amounts related to past due accounts as indicated in the following table:<br />
