Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX: FT; OTCQX: FTMDF) has filed amended and restated financial statements (together in each case with an amended corresponding management’s discussion and analysis) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the quarter ended June 30, 2016, and the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2016, to correct the accounting errors identified.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a review of the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, it was determined by management, and agreed to by the Company’s auditors, BDO Canada LLP, that, as a result of the anti-dilution provisions of the Class A and Class B warrants issued by the Company on August 12, 2015 (the Warrants), the previous accounting treatment of the Warrants in the financial statements for the Financial Periods (collectively, the Financial Statements) was incorrect. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the Warrants should have been recorded as a derivative liability as at each Financial Period instead of as a component of equity. Additionally, the Warrants should have been recorded at fair value using Black-Scholes methodology at the end of each of the relevant reporting periods. An error was also noted in the calculation of the Loss on Discontinued Operations and Other Comprehensive Income in the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
As a result, the Financial Statements (and the corresponding management’s discussion & analysis for each Financial Statement) have been amended and restated to move the value of the Warrants from the equity section of the Company’s statement of financial position to the liability section. The impact of these changes to each of the Financial Statements is highlighted in the table below:
