Foreign currency translation

3. Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in the British pound and the Canadian dollar are translated into the US dollar at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts denominated in the British pound and Canadian dollar are translated into US dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses denominated in the British pound and Canadian dollar are translated into the US dollar at the monthly average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, whereas translation adjustments and gains and losses related to intercompany loans of a long-term investment nature are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). In addition, as the majority of the sales and expenses related to the factory in Gaborone, Botswana are transacted in US dollars, there is no related foreign currency translation as the US dollar is the functional currency.
