Note:
(1) Working capital is calculated as current assets (September 30, 2017 - $41.2 million; December 31, 2016 - $52.4 million) less current liabilities (September 30, 2017 - $3.4 million; December 31, 2016 - $2.8 million). Working capital is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital is used to assess liquidity and general financial strength. Working capital does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. It is unlikely for non-GAAP measures to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Working capital should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than current assets or current liabilities as determined in accordance with IFRS.
