CALGARY, Alberta and TORONTO, June 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MNC; MNC.PR.A) (“Magnetic North” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that fiscal year results for the period ended December 31, 2021 and first quarter fiscal results for the period ended March 31, 2022 have been filed on SEDAR.
As a result of a review conducted by the Company’s new auditor and management’s consideration of the application of IFRS 10 (Consolidation Financial Statements) for the Company’s investment companies, the Company restated its December 31, 2020 comparative financials in its December 31, 2021 audited financial statements. The Company reviewed for qualification as an investment entity and determined that it met this criteria and considers itself an investment entity for both years ended December 30, 2020 and 2021. Accordingly, the Company shall measure its investment in investee (in this case CXTL Recycling (Canada) Corp. (“CXTL”)) at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. The effect of this adjustment on the financial statements of the Company for the fifteen months ended December 21, 2020 is that they have been restated to present only the stand alone financial statements of the Company and the effect of consolidation of CXTL into the Company has been eliminated. The Company will now include its investment in CXTL as an investment at fair value through profit or loss in its statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020. This has resulted in recognition of fair value loss of $3,861,856 in the profit or loss for the fifteen months ended December 31, 2020. There will be no effect of this change on the financial statements prior to 2020. Please refer to the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited financial statements for a description of the impact of the restatement on each of the financial statements presented therein.
On April 26, 2022, the Company announced that it would miss the filing deadline of May 2, 2022 to file its annual audited financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2021, the accompanying management's discussion and analysis and the related CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings"). A management cease trade order (“MCTO”) was issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (the “ASC”), effective as of May 4, 2022, in connection with the filing delay. The Company is providing this status update in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders. The Company confirms as of the date of this news release that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed. Upon the filing of the Annual Filings, the Company believes that it has satisfied the conditions of the ASC in order to have the MCTO revoked.
The Company’s financials along with the related management discussion and analysis’ may be found on SEDAR and on the Company’s website at www.magneticnac.com.
