The policy has been applied on a retrospective basis and comparative information has been restated. The following changes to historical financial statements have been made to reflect the new policy:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AsFor the three months ended March 31, previously 2012 reported Adjustment Restated----------------------------------------------------------------------------Statement of Earnings (Loss) Production $ 171,670 $ 159 $ 171,829 Finance costs 1,542 31 1,573 Net loss (6,510) (190) (6,700)Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss)Defined benefit plan actuarial losses (609) 190 (419)Other comprehensive income (loss) (2,575) 190 (2,385)----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no changes to previously issued Statements of Financial Position as a result of this change in accounting policy.
Effective January 1, 2013, IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, replaced the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance and established new requirements for fair value measurements and disclosures. The new standard is applied prospectively and will require more extensive disclosure, but has no impact on the Company's financial information.
(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:
The IASB periodically issues new standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards. The following new pronouncement is one that the Company considers most significant and is not intended to be a complete list of new pronouncements that may affect the financial statements.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. This standard is in effect for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a significant effect on its financial statements.
