ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) was formed on May 14, 2004 under the laws of British Columbia. The Partnership and its subsidiaries are a vertically integrated organization that owns and operates Red Mountain Resort and its various departments including, food and beverage, retail, ski and snowboard equipment rental, ski school, guest services, lift operations, marketing, maintenance and accounting. We also own and operate property management and real estate operations, which include land development and real estate sales.

 

Located at the tip of the Monashee Mountain range in central British Columbia, Red Mountain Resort is one of the last pristine and underdeveloped big-mountain ski resorts in North America. The mountain is a skier’s paradise and beloved by a loyal following of outdoor enthusiasts. Red Mountain Resort has 3,000 vertical feet of skiing on five mountains, and a unique topography allowing 360 degree descents from Red, Granite and Grey peaks.

 

In addition to ski resort operations, Red Mountain Resort has and continues to develop activities for the other three seasons of the year and has extended the Red Mountain Resort brand to four-season activities.  The Crescent, a 102-unit condominium located at the base of Red Mountain Resort opened in December 2024. In addition, RMR co-developed Nowhere Special Hostel, an 84-pillow hostel which opened in December 2018.  In 2021, RMR developed and opened the Constella cabins and clubhouse, an on-mountain, seasonal (winter only) facility at the Resort offering overnight accommodation in six cabins and limited food & beverage service in the clubhouse.

There have been significant changes to our corporate structure since the end of the 2024 Annual Period. See Item 6 – OTHER INFORMATION – Project Snow Transaction.

 

Management

 

Our General Partner, Red Mountain Ventures G.P. Ltd., was incorporated on September 19, 2003, under the laws of British Columbia to act as general partner to Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership. Information about the officers and directors of our General Partner can be found in Item 3.

 

Employees

 

During ski season (mid-December through early April) we have approximately 35 full-time and 310 part-time employees. During the off season (mid-April through mid-December), we have approximately 40 full-time employees.

 

Environmental Laws and Regulation

 

We are subject to a variety of Canadian federal, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes, land use, remediation of contaminated sites, climate change and protection of natural resources. Certain kinds of future expansions of our facilities would require us to carry out environmental assessments and apply for government approvals which may require prior consultations with First Nations (Canadian aboriginal organizations) to be carried out. Such proposals may not be approved or may be approved with modifications that substantially increase the cost or decrease the desirability of implementing the project. Our facilities are also subject to risks associated with mold and other indoor building contaminants. From time to time, our operations are subject to inspections by environmental regulators or other regulatory agencies. We are also subject to worker health and safety requirements as well as to land use criteria and potential remediation obligations applicable to the presence of regulated substances. Management believes that our operations are in compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements in all material respects. However, efforts to comply do not eliminate the risk that we may be held liable, incur fines or be subject to claims for damages, and that the amount of any liability, fines, damages or remediation costs may be material for, among other things, the presence or release of regulated materials.

 

Competition

 

We operate in a competitive industry. We compete with mountain resort areas in the United States, Canada and Europe for destination visitors and with several ski areas in the region. New mountain resorts that may be developed in the region around Red Mountain Resort may lead to increased regional competition. We also compete with other worldwide recreation resorts, including warm-weather resorts, for vacation guests outside the traditional ski season.

 

3

 

 

Our major North American competitors include the major Colorado and Utah ski areas, the Lake Tahoe mountain resorts in California and Nevada, the Quebec and New England mountain resorts and certain ski areas in the Canadian Rockies and British Columbia. Our competitive position is dependent upon many diverse factors such as our proximity to population centers, availability and cost of transportation to the resorts, including direct flight availability by major airlines, pricing, snowmaking capabilities, type and quality of skiing offered, duration of the ski season, prevailing weather conditions, the number, quality and price of related services and lodging facilities, and the reputation of the resort. In addition, there is a move towards consolidation of ski resorts in the US and Canadian ski industries, which may provide competitors with cost efficiencies that enable them to reduce prices and attract visitors away from independent ski resorts such as Red Mountain Resort.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have Canadian trademarks on certain of our designs and logos. Our trademarks and trade names are an important component of our business and our continued success depends in part upon our continued ability to use these trademarks to increase brand awareness and further develop the Red Mountain Resort brand in both domestic and international markets.

 

Litigation

 

As of April 30, 2024, the Company was not a party to any litigation.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

RMVLP was formed on May 14, 2004 under the laws of British Columbia. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 7 of this Report.  Our fiscal year end is April 30th. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which may differ from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Unless otherwise stated herein, any dollar figures referenced herein refer to US dollars.

 

Overview

 

We earn our revenues in five principal categories. In order of their contribution, they are: lift tickets and season passes, food and beverage sales, retail sales and equipment rentals, property management and real estate sales. Our property management revenues are derived from property management services rendered to the owners of condominiums at the base of Red Mountain Resort.

 

4

 

 

Our single largest source of revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including season passes) which represented approximately 45% and 61% of total revenues for the twelve-month periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lift ticket revenue is driven by the volume of lift tickets and season passes sold and their pricing. Most season pass products are sold before the start of the ski season.

 

Recent Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

Together with the risk factors included in our Form 1-A, we have identified the following important factors (as well as risks and uncertainties associated with such factors) that could impact our future financial performance or condition:

 

·The North American economy may be impacted by economic challenges, declining or slowing growth in economies outside North America, accompanied by devaluation of currencies, rising inflation, trade tariffs and lower commodity prices, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

·We and our subsidiaries have a significant amount of both secured and unsecured debt. Our debt obligations aggregate approximately CAD $9.2 million and USD $2 million, bearing interest at rates ranging from approximately 5.9% to 9% per annum, with maturity dates ranging from December 31, 2026 to perpetual (with certain obligations repayable from project proceeds). Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our debt and other payment obligations, and to fund our planned capital expenditures and other ongoing liquidity needs, depends on our future performance, which may be affected by financial, business, economic, and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal and interest on all of our outstanding debt or to comply with any applicable financial covenants. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service or other payment obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Any refinancing of our debt, if available on acceptable terms or at all, could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with additional restrictive covenants, which could further limit our operational flexibility. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to refinance our existing indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Also, a default on certain credit facilities and loans secured by real property could result in the foreclosure on such real property.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Period”), and the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Period”) should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 7 of this Report. The cost structure of our operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, retail and food and beverage cost of sales, labor and utilities. As such, profit margins can fluctuate based on the level of revenues.

 

5

 

 

During the 2024 Annual Period, we experienced an approximately 8% increase in operating revenue, primarily as a result of real estate sales revenue, while our operating expenses increased by approximately 6%, which impacted our profit margins.

 

Revenues

 

The following summarizes the components of our overall revenue for the 2024 Annual Period compared to the 2023 Annual Period.

 

   Year Ended
April 30, 2024
   Year Ended

Lift revenue  $5,027,343   $6,331,335    (1,303,992)   -21%
Retail and rental   838,556    1,066,372    (227,816)   -21%
Property management   713,194    834,056    (120,862)   -14%
Food and beverage   1,138,484    1,344,703    (206,219)   -15%
Real estate sales   2,197,106    -    2,197,106      
Other revenue   1,280,264    795,511    484,753    61%
Total operating revenue   11,194,947    10,371,977    822,970    8%

 

Our overall revenue for the 2024 Annual Period, was $11,194,947, compared to $10,371,977 for the 2023 Annual Period, representing an 8% increase. As a result of decreased visitor traffic, our lift revenue, retail and rental revenue and food and beverage revenue decreased during the 2024 Annual Period. The increase in overall revenue was primarily driven by real estate sales revenue of $2,197,106 for the 2024 Annual Period, which had no comparable revenue in the 2023 Annual Period.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold for the 2024 Annual Period was $1,304,367, compared to $914,348 for the 2023 Annual Period. The increase in cost of goods sold during the 2024 Annual Period is primarily a result of development costs related to real estate sold during the 2024 Annual Period.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $9,890,580, for the 2024 Annual Period, compared to $9,457,629, for the 2023 Annual Period. The modest increase in gross profit is primarily the result of real estate sales revenue recognized during the 2024 Annual Period.

Operating Expenses

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended         
   April 30, 2024   April 30, 2023   $ Change   % Change

Depreciation and amortization   787,451    778,935    8,516    1%

General and administration   2,161,017    2,652,695    (491,678)   -19%
Total operating expenses   10,293,432    9,736,492    556,940    6%

 

Our overall operating expenses for the 2024 Annual Period, were $10,293,432, compared to $9,736,492, for the 2023 Annual Period, an increase of 6%. The increase is primarily attributable to higher wages and benefits, driven by expanded staffing requirements, partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance and general and administrative expenses.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations for the 2024 Annual Period, was $402,852, compared to a loss of $278,863, for the 2023 Annual Period. The increase is primarily a result of increased wage expenses and selling and marketing costs, partially offset by higher revenues.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest expense for the 2024 Annual Period, was $806,926 compared to $471,506, for the 2023 Annual Period. The significant increase in interest expense is primarily the result of a CAD$29,101,000 construction loan from Kootenay Savings Credit Union, in connection with the construction of the Crescent of which CAD$14,673,320 was outstanding as of April 30, 2024. See Item 6 - OTHER INFORMATION – Debt Transactions – for a description of the satisfaction of this loan.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss for the 2024 Annual Period, was $1,209,778, compared to net loss of $750,369 for the 2023 Annual Period.

 

7

 

 

Total comprehensive net loss after foreign currency translation adjustment for the 2024 Annual Period, was $503,470, compared to $1,128,856, for the 2023 Annual Period. The decrease in comprehensive net loss during the 2024 Annual Period is primarily the result of a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $706,308, partially offset by higher operating and interest expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of April 30, 2024, we had $940,851 in cash and $153,006 in restricted cash. In addition, as of April 30, 2024, we had a bank overdraft of $1,122,273, which has been classified as a current liability in our consolidated statements of financial position. We had $0 cash as of April 30, 2023. Current assets as of April 30, 2024, were $2,166,923, compared to $970,147 as of April 30, 2023. The increase in current assets is primarily the result of an increase in cash equivalents. The increase in cash is the result of proceeds from long-term borrowings and strong collections from operations.

 

Principal Sources of Cash

 

Our principal source of cash is sales revenue. Available cash is the highest in the fourth quarter primarily due to the seasonality of our resort business and the sale of season passes for the following ski season. We currently anticipate that cash flow from operations will continue to provide a significant source of our operating needs.

 

Significant Uses of Cash

 

Our cash uses currently include operating expenditures and capital expenditures for assets to be used in operations. We have historically invested significant cash in capital expenditures for our resort operations and expect to continue to invest in the future. Resort capital expenditures for the 2024 Annual Period, were approximately $14,877,231, compared to $1,363,131, for the 2023 Annual Period. The 10x+ increase in capital expenditures for the 2024 Annual Period was primarily associated with construction and development activities related to the Crescent condominium project and other resort infrastructure improvements.

The following describes the outstanding debt as of April 30, 2024:

ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

18

 

 

 

 

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

To the Board of Directors of the General Partner and Unit Holders of

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership and subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at April 30, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in limited partnership interest, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at April 30, 2024 and 2023, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ ‘Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Other Matter

 

The financial statements of Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership for the year ended April 30, 2023 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on January 9, 2024.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
·Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
·Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
·Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
·We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
·We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
·From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Basis of preparation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared in United States Dollars, under the historical cost convention. The accounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its aforementioned subsidiaries and entities under common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The ownership interest in subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Partnership are recorded as non-controlling interest and reported in management’s consolidated statements of financial position within partnership interest. Losses attributed to the non-controlling interest and to the Partnership are reported separately in management’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Partnership will continue to meet its obligations for the next twelve months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

 

While management’s projected cash flows are forecasted to be sufficient to meet the Partnership’s obligations over the next twelve months, management believes it is prudent to continue its capital raising efforts in case its forecast is not achieved. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Partnership will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Partnership to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

 

However, based upon an evaluation of the Partnership’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Partnership is a going concern.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of financial position is comprised of cash at bank and on hand. Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and are therefore considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash is comprised of term deposit funds which secure letters of credit. The deposits mature and are rolled over annually. The Group has agreements in place with the Bank of Montreal that require the deposits related to certain credit facilities. As of April 30, 2024 and 2023, the restricted cash balance was $153,006 and $20,100 respectively.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivables are generally unsecured. The Partnership establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of April 30, 2024 and 2023, allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of purchased retail goods, food and beverage items, and rental equipment. The Partnership’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using primarily an average weighted cost method. As of April 30, 2024, none of the inventory was pledged as security for any liabilities.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation on assets is calculated using the diminishing balance method by applying the depreciation rate to the net book value of the asset, resulting in a diminishing annual charge. The cost/net book value is allocated over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

   Number of 
   Years 
Building   25 
Trail Improvement   12.5 
Lifts and tows and snow infrastructure   16.7 
Furniture, fittings and equipment   5 
Vehicles   3.3 

 

 -10- 

 

 

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2024 and 2023
(US$)

 

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within the profit and loss account.

 

Property under development

 

The Partnership capitalizes as real estate held for sale and investment the original land acquisition cost, direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest recorded on costs related to real estate under development and other related costs. The Partnership records capitalized interest once construction activities commence and real estate deposits have been utilized in construction. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis.

 

Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of Red Mountain Resort Inc. in 2004 and subsequent amalgamation with RMRAC and consists of the excess of the purchase price of the shares over the net book value of the assets of Red Mountain Resort Inc. at the date of acquisition. The goodwill is attributed substantially to land value. The Partnership tests goodwill annually for impairment. The testing of impairment consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the assets with their net carrying value. The Partnership determined that there was no impairment to goodwill for the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Long-lived assets

 

The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Partnership recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount.

 

The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. The Partnership does not believe any events or changes in circumstances indicating an impairment of the net carrying amount of a long-lived asset occurred during the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Financial Instruments- Risk Management

 

The Group is exposed to the following financial risks through its operations:

 

- Risks related to the general economic trend

- Credit Risks

- Liquidity risks

- Interest Rate risk

- Foreign Exchange risk

- Risk related to the environment

- Financial instrument risks from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables/payables, and notes payable

 

 -11- 

 

 

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2024 and 2023
(US$)

 

Group management has responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies. The overall objective of management is set policies the seek to reduce risk as much as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s operational goals.

 

The granting of credit to end customers is subject to specific preliminary and on-going assessments. Positions amongst trade receivables for which objective non-recoverability is ascertained are subject to write down.

 

The Group’s transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars. Therefore, the fair value of the financial instruments may decrease if the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate decreases, while the financial instruments would decrease accordingly. Management believes the foreign exchange risk for the Group is relatively low.

 

Finance Lease Contracts

 

Assets held under equipment lease agreements are capitalized in the consolidated statements of financial position and are depreciated over their useful life. The corresponding purchase obligation is capitalized in the consolidated statements of financial position as a finance lease liability. The interest element of the obligation is charged to the profit or loss account over the period of the contract and represents a constant proportion of the consolidated statements of financial position capital repayments outstanding. All lease assets and liabilities are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16.

 

Equipment Rental And Leases

 

The Group determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether the Group has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. The Group elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Consequently, for those leases that qualify, the Group will not recognize right-of use assets or lease liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet and expenses are recorded on a straight-line basis.

 

Capital Management

 

The Group monitors adjusted capital which comprises all components of equity. The Group’s objectives when maintaining capital are to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate level of return to partners and investors.

 

Investments

 

The Partnership owns a 50% interest in That Seventies Project, a real estate development project, and has capitalized approximately $4.5 million and $3.5 million, in development assets as of April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Partnership’s investment is recorded as an asset on the consolidated statements of financial position and is adjusted each year according to the Partnership’s share of gains and losses related to CBT.

 

Foreign currencies

 

The functional currency of the Partnership is Canadian Dollar (CAD). The reporting currency of the financial statements is United States Dollars (USD). The Group has decided to present the financial statements in US Dollar for purposes of clarity as a majority of the Group’s investors are from US and international markets. The financial statements of the Group were translated pursuant to the provisions of IAS 21. Income and expenses and cash flows for each statement of profit and loss shall be translated at an appropriately weighted rate for the year. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the consolidated statements of financial position date. Equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. All differences are taken to the other comprehensive income or loss.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in CAD into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

  April 30, 2024   April 30, 2023 
Period-end CAD: USD exchange rate  $0.732270   $0.732467

  April 30, 2024   April 30, 2023 
Average Yearly CAD: USD exchange rate  $0.732369   $0.752443 

 

Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in accordance with IFRS 15. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product to a customer or performs the service obligation as prescribed by the contract.

 

Revenues are highly seasonal. The ski season generally runs from mid-December to early April. Red Property Management Ltd. Operates year-round but sees limited business between May and November.

Season pass revenues received from May 1 to March 15 are recognized when received.

 

Retail and rental revenue is derived from retail sales and equipment rentals business and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed.

 

Property management revenue is derived from providing reservations and property management services for the privately owned condominium rental units and is recognized as services are performed.

 

Food and beverage revenue is derived from sale of food and beverage from three Partnership-owned restaurants and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts- IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts with the scope of standard. An insurance contract is a contract in which one party accepts significant risk by agreeing to compensate the policy holder if a specified uncertain future event takes place. The standard is applicable to insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, which the entity issues or holds. Contracts that meet the definition but primarily exist to provide services for a fixed fee are subject to IFRS 17 unless the entity has applied IFRS 15 to the service contracts. IFRS 17 will be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. On initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfillment of cash flow or the contractual service margin. An entity shall include all future cash flows within each contract. At subsequent measurement the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Management does not expect the application to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

 

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Partnership.

 

NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The Partnership makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both. Information about critical assumptions in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

Taxation

 

The Limited Partnership accounts for income taxes in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”).

 

Partnership

 

Partnership income, losses, assets, and liabilities are all attributable to the partners. As per the Canada Income Tax Act, partnerships do not file separate tax returns. The partnerships file annual “information returns” setting out their income and details of the partners who are entitled to that income. It is the partners who are required to pay income tax. The limited partnership is simply a flow-through entity. The net income of the partners (for income tax purposes) of a limited partnership is based on the net income of the limited partnership.

 

The net income of the limited partnership, the Act states that it is treated as if it were a separate legal person: s. 96(1)(a). Include income and deduct allowable expenses and other credits. The limited partnership’s income will be attributed to the partners (as per the limited partnership agreement). Each partner must report their income or losses from the partnership and pay taxes accordingly: s. 96(1)(f).

 

Corporations

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2024 and 2023
(US$)

 

The Partnership owns a number of entities that are classified as a corporation for tax purposes:

 

For such corporations: Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss, except for income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

 

Current income tax, if any, is the expected amount payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, calculated in accordance with applicable taxation laws and regulations, using income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustments to amounts payable or receivable relating to prior years.

 

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method based on temporary differences arising between the income tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using income tax rates and income tax laws and regulations that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. To the extent that the Partnership does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxing authority and the Partnership intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. The Partnership did not record any corporation related Current or Deferred income tax, since by tax law it does not flow through to the Partnership level.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Partnership measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Partnership is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 -16- 

 

 

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2024 and 2023
(US$)

 

Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The recorded amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

NOTE 4 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

As of April 30, 2024 the Partnership had a cash overdraft balance of $1,122,273. This credit balance has been reclassified to current portion of long-term debt as it represents a liability for the partnership. The overdraft balance in the cash account is a result of the timing of cash flows at year end and management does not believe it will have any negative affect on business or the partnership’s ability to meet its current obligations. See Note 12 for further detail.

 

NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable, net of allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, consisted of the following:

 

   April 30, 2024   April 30, 2023 
Trade Accounts receivables  $124,356   $32,515 
Other receivables   278,407    340,270 
Less allowances   -    - 
Total accounts receivable, net  $402,762   $372,785 

 

During the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no bad debt expenses in setting up an allowance. The Group does not expect to recognize any credit losses in future years.

 

NOTE 6 – INVENTORY

 

Inventory consists primarily of purchased retail goods, food and beverage items and rental equipment. The Partnership’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using primarily an average weighted cost method. The carrying value of inventory consisted of the following:

 

   April 30, 2024   April 30, 2023 
Retail goods  $488,924   $217,572 
Food and beverage items   33,748    38,589

Management of the Partnership has reviewed its fixed assets for impairment as of April 30, 2024 and 2023 and has concluded that no events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would indicate the carrying value of its fixed assets would not be recoverable.

 

NOTE 9 – PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT

 

Property under development includes costs directly related to construction and carrying charges during construction such as interest and property taxes. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis. The Partnership was created in 2004 to own companies that acquired the resort’s assets. The transactions resulted in goodwill of approximately $3.4 million. Substantially all of the goodwill was attributed to the value of the real estate associated with the acquisition. As such, goodwill has been allocated to land development costs since inception and has been amortized on a pro rata basis as cost of sales related to sales of real estate. The balance of property under development was approximately $22.7 million and $8.8 million as of April 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The balance of goodwill attributed to land and development costs were approximately $0 and $3.1 million as of April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 13 – TAXATION

 

No deferred tax asset in respect of corporation level tax losses has been recognized given the uncertainty over the timing of future profits against which they can be offset. Partnership management believes it is more likely than not that any such losses will not be recognized by the Partnership. As of April 30, 2024 and 2023, if the Partnership had recorded a future benefit for income taxes, the amount would have totaled approximately $5.3 and $5.0 million, respectively.
