MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Aquiline Resources Inc. were prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Management acknowledges responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates and the choice of accounting principles and methods that are appropriate to the Company’s circumstances.

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring management fulfills its financial reporting responsibilities and for reviewing and approving the unaudited interim consolidate financial statements together with other financial information. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling this responsibility. The Audit Committee meets with management to review the internal controls over the financial reporting process and the period end unaudited interim consolidated financial statements together with other financial information of the Company. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for its consideration in approving the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements together with other financial information of the Company for issuance to the shareholders.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over its financial reporting.  Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as at June 30, 2009.

The Corporation also holds equity share positions in exploration and development companies that operate within certain countries in the Americas.

 

The business of mining for minerals involves a high degree of risk. The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves, the ability to raise long-term financing to complete the development of the properties, government policies and regulations, and upon future profitable production or, alternatively upon the Corporation’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; all of which are uncertain.

 

In order to meet future expenditures, the Corporation will need to raise additional funding. Although the Corporation has been successful in raising funds to date, there can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available in the future, or available under terms favourable to the Corporation. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that assumes the Corporation will be able to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. In the event the Corporation is not able to obtain adequate funding, there is uncertainty as to whether the Corporation will be able to continue as a going concern and maintain or complete the exploration and development of its resource properties. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Corporation were unable to obtain adequate financing.  Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values of resource assets.

 

2.            Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Corporation’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, except as noted below. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.

2.            Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted CICA Section 3064 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaced CICA Handbook sections 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and 3450, “Research and Development Costs”, as well as EIC-27, “Revenues and Expenditures During the Pre-operating Period”, and part of Accounting Guideline 11, “Enterprises in the development stage”. Under previous Canadian standards, a greater number of items were recognized as assets than are recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The provisions relating to the definition and initial recognition of intangible assets reduce the differences with IFRS in the accounting for intangible assets. The objectives of CICA 3064 are: 1) to reinforce the principle-based approach to the recognition of assets; 2) to establish the criteria for asset recognition and; 3) to clarify the application of the concept of matching revenues and expenses such that the current practice of recognizing asset items that do not meet the recognition criteria is eliminated. The new standard also provides guidance for the recognition of internally developed intangible assets (including research and development activities), ensuring consistent treatment of all intangible assets. The portions in the new standard relating to goodwill remain unchanged.

 

The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Corporation’s presentation of its financial position or results of operations as at June 30, 2009.

 

Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

 

In January 2009, the Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued EIC-173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which applies to interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Corporation’s presentation of its financial position or results of operations as at June 30, 2009.

 

Mining Exploration Costs

 

On March 27, 2009, the Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA approved an abstract EIC-174, “Mining Exploration Costs”, which provides guidance on capitalization of exploration costs related to mining properties in particular, and on impairment of long-lived assets in general. The adoption of this abstract had no impact on the Corporation’s presentation of its financial position or results of operations as at June 30, 2009.

 

Future Accounting Pronouncements

 

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

 

In January 2006, the CICA’s Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) formally adopted the strategy of replacing Canadian GAAP with IFRS for Canadian enterprises with public accountability. On February 13, 2008 the AcSB confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable profit oriented enterprises. For these entities, IFRS will be required for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Corporation will be required to have prepared, in time for its first quarter of fiscal 2011 filing, comparative financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the three months ended March 31, 2010. While the Corporation has begun assessing the impact of the adoption of IFRS on its consolidated financial statements, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Future Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-Controlling Interests

 

The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602, “Non-Controlling interests”. These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Section 1582 replaces section 1581 and establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”. Sections 1601 and 1602 together replace section 1600, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of IFRS lAS-27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the requirements of the new standards.

 

3.            Capital Management

 

The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Corporation, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Corporation’s management to sustain future development of the business.  The Corporation defines capital to include its working capital position and the capital stock, warrant, and option components of its shareholders’ equity.

 

The properties in which the Corporation currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Corporation is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Corporation will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Corporation will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

 

Management has chosen to mitigate the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital within current economic conditions by:

 

i)          minimizing discretionary disbursements;

ii)         reducing or eliminating exploration expenditures which are of limited strategic value;

iii)        exploring alternate sources of liquidity.

 

In light of the above, the Corporation will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

 

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Corporation, is reasonable.  There were no changes in the Corporation’s approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.  As at June 30, 2009, the Corporation is seeking sources of additional capital.

4.            Property and Financial Risk Factors

 

(a)     Property Risk

 

The Corporation’s major mineral properties are the Calcatreu gold property, Navidad Silver Project and Pico Machay gold property. Unless the Corporation acquires or develops additional material properties, the Corporation will be mainly dependent upon these three properties. If no additional major mineral exploration properties are acquired by the Corporation, any adverse development affecting these three properties would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

(b)     Financial Risk

 

The Corporation’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign exchange rate and other price risk).

 

Risk management is carried out by the Corporation’s management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

 

i)      Credit Risk

 

The Corporation’s credit risk is primarily attributable to short-term investments, other receivables and foreign tax recoverable. The Corporation has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Short-term investments consist of guaranteed investment certificates, which have been invested with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Other receivables consist of goods and services tax due from the Federal Government of Canada and receivables from other companies. Foreign tax recoverable consists of value added taxes paid on exploration costs that are refundable from the Government of Argentina. In Argentina, claims for the foreign tax recoverable can only be made one year after the stated expenditures have been paid when there is no tax collection from revenues to offset. $6,395,164 represents the maximum credit exposure. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to other receivables and foreign tax recoverable is remote. Management does not believe the receivables are impaired.

 

ii)     Liquidity Risk

 

The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2009, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $14,566,555 (December 31, 2008 - $6,377,921) to settle current liabilities of $2,644,871 (December 31, 2008 - $6,489,325). Other than its current debt (see Note 8), all of the Corporation’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

 

iii)    Market Risks

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Corporation has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Corporation’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Corporation periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

4.            Property and Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

 

(b)     Financial risk (Continued)

 

iii)    Market Risks (Continued)

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

The Corporation’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, Argentine Pesos and Peruvian New Soles. The Corporation funds major operations and exploration expenses in Argentina and Peru. The Corporation maintains Argentine pesos bank accounts in Argentina and Peruvian soles bank accounts in Peru. The Corporation is subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in Argentine Peso and Peruvian New Soles against the Canadian dollar.

 

Price Risk

 

The Corporation is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Corporation’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Corporation closely monitors commodity prices of gold and silver, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, foreign tax recoverable, long-term investments, payables and accruals, current debt and asset retirement obligations. As at June 30, 2009, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Corporation’s financial instruments are the same. Changes in fair value of the Corporation’s long-term investments are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

Sensitivity Analysis

 

Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Corporation believes the following movements are “reasonably possible” over a six month period. The sensitivity analysis shown in the notes below may differ materially from actual results.

 

Short-term investments include deposits at call which are at variable rates. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 1% change in rates would affect net loss by $70,400.

 

The Corporation’s long-term investments are denominated in Canadian dollars. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 10% movement in the Canadian listed equity prices would affect comprehensive loss by $8,600.

 

The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations of financial instruments related to cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, foreign tax recoverable, payables and accruals that are denominated in Argentine Pesos and Peruvian New Soles. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would affect net loss by $296,100.

 

Price risk is remote since the Corporation is not a producing entity.

11.                          Convertible Debenture

 

On February 8, 2008, Silverstone Resources Corp. (“Silverstone”) purchased a $17.5 million convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) from Aquiline. Silverstone may elect to convert the Debenture into Common Shares of Aquiline at a conversion price of $12.00 or into a contract (“Contract”) granting Silverstone the right to purchase, at the lesser of US$4.00 per ounce of silver and the prevailing market price per ounce of silver on the London Metal Exchange at the time production is delivered, 12.5% of the life of mine payable silver from the Loma de La Plata zone which is one of seven zones comprising the Navidad project, or if unavailable, from the other zones of the Navidad project.

 

Silverstone may elect to convert the Debenture into Common Shares of Aquiline or a Contract at any time until the Conversion Deadline, which is defined as 30 days after the earlier of: (a) January 8, 2010; and (b) the Maturity Date which is defined as the later of the completion of a feasibility study on the Property, the decision of Aquiline to proceed with a mine, and receipt of all necessary permits to proceed with construction of a mine.

 

Silverstone and Aquiline shall negotiate a definitive Contract not yet signed which shall be subject to Exchange approval. Upon conversion to the Contract, the $17.5 million face value of the Debenture will form part of an upfront payment by Silverstone of US$50 million to secure the silver, structured as: upon election to convert to the Contract, US$17,599,750 being equivalent to the CDN$17.5 million face value of the Debenture; US$14,900,250 on the Maturity Date; and US$17.5 million in four equal installments of US$4,375,000, each three months apart, the first installment starting three months after the start of construction and the remaining installments due every three months thereafter.

 

The Debenture carries a coupon of 150,000 warrants in lieu of interest, with each warrant entitling Silverstone to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of CDN$13.00 per Common Share for a period expiring six months after the Conversion Deadline.

 

The Corporation paid a finder’s fee of 6% in cash of the Debenture principal amount (CDN$1.05 million) and 87,500 warrants with the same terms as those granted to Silverstone, and incurred costs of $32,396.

 

The fair value of the 237,500 warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield - 0%; volatility - 53.3%; risk-free interest rate - 3.06% and an expected life of 1.5 years. The fair value attributed to the warrants was $594,700.

 

Neither of the conversion options give rise to a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange another financial instrument under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. As such the Corporation has classified the debenture as an equity instrument net of cash issue costs in the amount of $1,082,396 and the value attributed to the warrants of $594,700.

Under the terms of the LOI, the purchase consideration has been fixed as US$7.8 million, to be paid over two years in cash as follows:

The Installments will be represented by a promissory note, which will be secured by a pledge of the Affiliate’s shares, a mortgage on each of the concessions comprising the Pico Machay Gold Project and a general guarantee of the Corporation.
