Although the Company retains a 62.5% equity ownership stake in FoodsUp, the Company has currently accounted for the sale of 37.5% of FoodsUp on March 30, 2023 as a loss of control of FoodsUp on that date and therefore the Company expects to account for the activities and performance of FoodsUp using the equity method from that date forward (as opposed to the consolidation method), as reflected in the Company’s Q1 2023 financial statements. However, the Company is working with its accounting advisors and is reviewing IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” which outlines the requirements for the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements, requiring entities to consolidate entities it controls. Control requires exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through power over an investee. The Company will provide another update about these accounting determinations as they apply to the facts involving the Company and FoodsUp if an alternate determination is made. For more information, see the Company’s Q1 2023 MD&A.
