ALAMOS GOLD INC.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited - in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated, tables stated in millions of United States dollars)
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Alamos Gold Inc., a company incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. The Company owns and operates the Young-Davidson mine in Canada, and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico. In addition, the Company owns the Ağı Dağı, Kirazlı and Çamyurt gold development projects in Turkey, the Lynn Lake gold project in Canada, the Esperanza gold project in Mexico, as well as an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Quartz Mountain gold project in Oregon, USA.
Alamos is a publicly traded company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI).
The Company’s registered office is located at 181 Bay St, Suite 3910, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as noted below.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Company adopted the following accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2016:
Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38, Intangibles. These amendments prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments had no impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as revenue-based depreciation or amortization methods are not used.
Amendments to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. The amendments clarify the accounting for acquisitions of an interest in a joint operation when the operation constitutes a business. The amendment had no impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Future accounting standard amendments not effective as of September 30, 2016:
Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based payments. These amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. These amendments are effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 8, 2016.

Q3 2016 FINANCIAL REPORT

ACQUISITION OF CARLISLE GOLDFIELDS LTD.

On January 7, 2016, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Carlisle Goldfields Limited ("Carlisle") not previously owned by the Company, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").
Under terms of the Arrangement, Carlisle shareholders received:
(i)
0.0942 of an Alamos common share for each Carlisle common share held, plus
(ii)
0.0942 of a warrant to purchase Alamos common shares at an exercise price of CAD$10.00 with an expiration date of January 7, 2019.
Upon closing of the transaction, the Company issued 4,142,087 shares and 4,142,087 share purchase warrants as part of the consideration. In addition, the Company issued 645,952 common shares as payment for the change of control obligations for departing management. Total consideration for the acquisition was $20.4 million (net of cash received), including transaction costs.
Management determined that the acquisition of Carlisle did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The principal asset acquired in the transaction is an interest in the Lynn Lake project. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company owns a 100% interest in the Lynn Lake project.
The allocation of the purchase price (based on the consideration paid on January 7, 2016) to the net assets acquired is as follows:
Consideration transferred
 
Common shares issued

$17.5

Warrants issued
2.8

Share-based compensation

$21.1

In November 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlisle to acquire a 25% interest in the Lynn Lake gold project in exchange for consideration of $4.4 million (CAD$5.0 million), which the Company classified as mineral property, plant and equipment. In conjunction with this transaction, a private placement was completed whereby the Company paid $5.0 million (CAD $5.6 million) in exchange for a 19.9% interest in Carlisle. On completion of the Arrangement in January 2016, the Company reclassified this investment in associate of Carlisle to mineral property, plant and equipment. Additionally, the Company spent $9.5 million on the Lynn Lake project from November 2014 up to the close of the transaction, which was recorded within mineral property, plant and equipment.

(a) Revolving credit facility
On March 22, 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing $150.0 million credit facility, extending the maturity from April 26, 2016 to February 29, 2020. The amended facility consists of a committed $150.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), with an option to draw an additional $70.0 million, subject to commitments from existing and/or new lenders. The terms of the Facility reflect a reduction in pricing and removal of certain covenants compared to the previous facility. The Facility bears an interest at a rate of Libor plus 2.125% to 3.125% on drawn amounts and 0.48% to 0.70% on undrawn amounts, based on the Company's net leverage ratio (net indebtedness to EBITDA), as defined in the agreement. 

The Facility is secured by a first ranking lien on all material present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales and liens. It contains financial covenant tests that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.0 and (b) a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0, both as defined in the agreement. As at September 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with the covenants.
(b) Senior secured notes
On March 27, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $315.0 million senior secured notes (the “secured notes”), secured by a second-ranking lien on all present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The secured notes were sold at 96.524% of par, resulting in total proceeds of $304.1 million. The secured notes pay interest in semi-annual installments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2014, at a rate of 7.75% per annum, and mature on April 1, 2020. The Company incurred transaction costs of $7.8 million, which have been offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes and are amortized using the effective interest rate method. These notes contain transaction-based restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances. There are no covenants that are based on the Company’s historical financial performance.
The senior secured notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives, and are outlined below:
Subsequent to April 1, 2017, the secured notes may be repurchased at 103.875% of par value
Subsequent to April 1, 2018, the secured notes may be repurchased at 101.938% of par value
Subsequent to April 1, 2019, the secured notes may be repurchased at 100% of par value
The fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $6.0 million at March 27, 2014, and was offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes. As at September 30, 2016, the fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $10.3 million (December 31, 2015 - $0.1 million) and was offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes. The Company recorded a gain of $8.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 (three and nine-months ended September 30, 2015 - $4.1 million loss and $1.5 million loss), which is recorded in Other gain.

The following table lists the equity securities excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. The securities were excluded as the exercise price relating to the particular security exceeded the average market price of the Company's common shares of CAD $11.34 and CAD $8.59 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2016, or the inclusion of the equity securities had an anti-dilutive effect on net loss.
For the periods in which the Company records a loss, diluted loss per share is calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding, as using the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the calculation would be anti-dilutive.

On September 30, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.01 per share, or $2.7 million payable to shareholders of record on October 14, 2016, and paid on October 31, 2016.
(g)    Share purchase warrants
The Company has 7.2 million share purchase warrants outstanding related to the Esperanza acquisition in 2013. The warrants have an exercise price of CAD$28.46 per common share, and expire on August 30, 2018.
The warrants are classified as a derivative liability recorded at fair value through profit or loss, due to the currency of the exercise price of the warrants. The warrants are priced in Canadian dollars, which is not the functional currency of the Company. Therefore the warrants are fair valued using the market price with gains or losses recorded in net loss.
In addition, as described in note 3, the Company issued 4.1 million warrants as consideration for the acquisition of Carlisle. The warrants have an exercise price of CAD$10.00, and expire on January 7, 2019. The warrants are recorded as equity, in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based payments. The Company has 4.6 million share purchase warrants ("Warrants") outstanding related to the Carlisle acquisition.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair values of financial instruments
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements. Levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the net asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The methods of measuring each of these financial assets and liabilities have not changed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The fair value of option contracts is determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market. These are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.
The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, except for the senior secured notes, approximate their carrying amounts at September 30, 2016. The fair value of the senior secured notes was $328.4 million at September 30, 2016 compared to a carrying value of $296.4 million, which includes the value of the prepayment option embedded derivative. The fair value of this liability was determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market.
The Company seeks to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates by entering into derivative financial instruments from time to time.
(a)     Gold option and forward contracts
As at September 30, 2016, the Company held option contracts to protect against the risk of a decrease in the value of the gold price. These option contracts ensure a minimum average realized gold price of $1,217 per ounce and cap a maximum average realized gold price of $1,395 per ounce, regardless of the movement in gold prices during the remainder of 2016.

CHANGES TO COMPARATIVE PRESENTATION
The condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows for three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects the retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy adopted in 2015 to classify, in the consolidated statements of cash flows, interest paid as a financing activity, instead of within operating activities, as previously reported. The change in accounting policy was adopted in accordance with IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, which provides a policy choice to classify interest paid as either an operating activity, or a financing activity. The Company considers the classification of these interest payments within financing activities to be the most useful to financial statement users and, consequently, that this presentation results in reliable and more relevant information.
The following table outlines the effect of this accounting policy change for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015:
