Basis of preparation

   

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

   

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, with the exception to the changes in accounting policies as described in Note 3 below.

   

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 13, 2014.

Recent accounting pronouncements

   

IFRIC 21 – Levies

   

The Company adopted IFRIC 21 on January 1, 2014, with retrospective application. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on the accounting for a liability to pay a levy, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain. Levies are imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and do not include income taxes, fines or other penalties imposed for breaches of legislation. IFRIC 21 defines an obligating event as the legislatively identified activity that triggers the payment of the levy. Recognition of a liability to pay a levy is at the date of the obligating event. The fact that the Company is economically compelled to continue to operate in the future does not create an obligation to pay a levy that will arise in a future period as a result of continuing to operate.

   

The Company has concluded that the adoption of IFRIC 21 did not have an effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the current period or prior periods presented.

   

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

   

The IASB has issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2017. This new standard establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model which could change the timing of revenue recognition. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates

     
a)

Impairment of long-lived assets

     

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment if there is an indicator of impairment. Calculating the estimated fair values of cash generating units (“CGU”) for long-lived asset impairment tests requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to future production levels, mill recoveries, operating and capital costs in its life-of-mine plans, future metal prices, foreign exchange rates, and discount rates. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair values could impact the impairment analysis. Such changes could be material.

     
b)

Ore reserve and resource estimates

     

Ore reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company’s mining properties. The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, metallurgical recoveries, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size, and grade of the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mining interests, mine restoration provisions, recognition of deferred tax assets, and depreciation and amortization charges.

     
c)

Uncertain tax positions

     

The Company is periodically subject to income tax audits at its operating mine locations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded provisions totalling $2.7 million representing its best estimate of the outcome of current assessments. The Company is appealing the assessments received and the final outcome of such appeals are not determinable at this time. The provisions made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

     
d)

Value-added tax receivables

     

The Company incurs indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its operating mines and development projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company’s best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management’s assessment of recoverability involves judgments regarding balance sheet classification and the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets

   

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the long-term consensus gold price continued to be below the overall long-term gold price assumptions used in the Company’s reserve estimations and life-of-mine plans. The prolonged decline of the long-term gold price was considered to be an impairment indicator at September 30, 2014. The Company has revised its long-term gold price estimate to $1,300 per ounce of gold.

   

In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company will update its impairment indicator assessment for its long- lived assets at December 31, 2014 in light of any continuing volatility in the long-term gold price or changes in any other factors that may indicate that its long-lived assets are impaired. Updated life-of-mine plans will be prepared for each of the Company’s mining operations to incorporate 2014 year-end reserve and resource estimates. In addition, the Company is currently finalizing a metallurgical recovery sampling and analysis program in order to assess the potential for a mill expansion at the Masbate Mine and to assist in mine planning. The conclusions of the report are expected by the end of 2014, and will be incorporated in Masbate’s mineral reserves and resources and related mine plan.

   

The Company performed impairment tests on the following cash-generating units: Masbate Mine, including related goodwill, Limon Mine, Libertad Mine and Otjikoto Mine. The Company’s investment in the Gramalote joint venture was also assessed for impairment. As a result of these assessments, the Company determined that impairment charges were required for the goodwill relating to the Masbate Mine and the Company’s investment in Gramalote as described below.

   

Masbate goodwill

   

The Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis whereby the carrying values of the Masbate property, plant and equipment and goodwill, were compared to the mine’s fair value using the fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) methodology. In carrying out the review of Masbate’s long-lived assets for impairment, the Company utilized discounted cash flow models incorporating estimates and assumptions that included such factors as future production levels, metallurgical recovery estimates, operating and capital costs in its life-of-mine plans, future metal prices, foreign exchange rates and discount rates. The Company’s estimate of future cash flows is subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore could change in the future if the underlying assumptions change.

   

Key assumptions used for the impairment test at September 30, 2014 were:


  -        Gold price $1,300/ounce
  -        Silver price $20/ounce
  -        Discount rate 5% - 7%

The Company’s analysis concluded that the carrying values of Masbate Mine property, plant and equipment and amounts assigned to undeveloped mineral interests at September 30, 2014 were not impaired. However, it was concluded that the carrying value of Masbate related goodwill was impaired, resulting in an impairment charge of $202.1 million being recorded in the statement of operations for the current quarter.

Investment in Joint Venture - Gramalote

The Company conducted an impairment analysis whereby the carrying value of the investment in the Gramalote joint venture was compared to the investment’s fair value using the fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) methodology. In carrying out the impairment analysis, the Company utilized discounted cash flow models incorporating estimates and assumptions that include such factors as future production levels, mill recoveries, operating and capital costs in its life-of-mine plans, future metal prices, foreign exchange rates and discount rates. These factors were based on the assumptions and inputs disclosed by the Company on March 13, 2014 from the Gramalote Preliminary Economic Assessment and included a long-term gold price assumption of $1,300 per ounce of gold and a discount rate of 6.5% . The Company’s estimate of future cash flows is subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore could change in the future if the underlying assumptions change.

The Company’s analysis concluded that the investment in Gramalote was impaired resulting in an impairment charge of $96.3 million being recorded in the statement of operations for the current quarter.

Acquisition of Papillon Resources Limited

   

On October 3, 2014, the Company completed the scheme of arrangement (“Merger”) by which the Company acquired all of the issued ordinary shares of Papillon. Under the terms of the Merger, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Papillon based on an exchange ratio of 0.661 of a common share of B2Gold for each Papillon ordinary share. In addition, all of the outstanding stock options of Papillon were cancelled and the former holders thereof received that number of the Company shares that corresponded to the value of the “in-the-money” portion of their Papillon options. The primary asset acquired was the Fekola Project located in Mali.

   

The arrangement has been accounted for as a purchase of net assets. For accounting purposes, the acquisition date was determined to be September 22, 2014, the date at which the Company obtained control of Papillon.

   

The cost of the acquisition was approximately $493.3 million, and included the fair value of the shares issued of $484.3 million, based on the issuance of 237,390,819 shares at Cdn.$2.25 per share and a foreign exchange rate of Cdn.$1.1031 to $1, plus transaction costs of approximately $9.0 million.

   

The purchase price was calculated as follows:


      $  
  Common shares issued (237,390,819 common shares)   484,277  
  Transaction costs   9,026  
  Total purchase price   493,303

On June 4, 2014, RTG Mining Inc. (“RTG”) acquired all of the outstanding securities of Sierra Mining Limited (“Sierra”). The Company received three new ordinary shares of RTG for every ten shares held of Sierra. The transaction did not constitute a disposal; therefore, unrealized gains were not transferred from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to the statement of operations.

Convertible senior subordinated notes

As at September 30, 2014, the fair value of the convertible senior subordinated notes was $247.3 million, resulting in a change in fair value for the three and nine months of a gain of $31.5 million and a loss of $11.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the gain in fair value of the notes recognized in the statement of operations was reduced to $31.5 million by $3.0 million of capitalized finance costs which are attributable to eligible expenditures on the Otjikoto property. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the change in fair value of the notes recognized in the statement of operations was reduced to $11.2 million by $7.9 million of capitalized finance costs.

Interest payments in the first and third quarter of 2014 were $5.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Revolving corporate credit facility

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an amending agreement pursuant to which the facility amount of the Senior Credit Facility was increased by $50 million to a total amount of $200 million, subject to updating security documents to reflect the increased amount of the facility.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company drew down an additional $50 million and $75 million, respectively, under the Senior Credit Facility. As at September 30, 2014 the Company had drawn down a total of $125 million under the Senior Credit Facility, leaving an undrawn balance of $75 million.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the interest and financing expense relating to the revolving corporate credit facility recognized in the statement of operations was reduced by $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which was attributable to eligible expenditures on the Otjikoto property and capitalized to the carrying amount of the property.

Masbate finance lease obligations

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company notified Leighton Holdings Limited (“Leighton”) that it was exercising its option to terminate the mining services agreement effective December 31, 2014 and would purchase the leased assets under the agreement. On June 30, 2014, the Company terminated the finance lease and took ownership of the leased assets.

Otjikoto equipment loan facility

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company, B2Gold Namibia drew $20.3 million under the facility. At September 30, 2014, the B2Gold Namibia had drawn $30.5 million under the facility leaving $10.4 million undrawn, based on current exchange rates. Transaction costs relating to the facility totalled approximately $1.6 million and are being recognized over the term of the facility using the effective interest rate method.

The Borrower is required to maintain a deposit in a debt service reserve account ("DSRA") with HSBC Bank Bermuda Limited equal at all times to the total of the principal, interest and other payments that become payable over the next six month period. At September 30, 2014, the balance in the DSRA was $3.6 million (Note 10).

Libertad equipment loan

During the first quarter of 2014, a subsidiary of the Company purchased mobile heavy equipment valued at $3.0 million (2013 - $4.2 million) for its Libertad operation. The Company paid 15% of the value of the equipment in cash and entered into two credit contracts with Caterpillar Crédito S.A de C.V for the remaining 85%. The contracts have a sixty month term, with quarterly payments of principal and interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 4.0% . The Company has provided security on the loan in the form of the related equipment.

Financial instruments

   

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loan receivable from EVI (Note 10), long-term investments (Note 8), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, South African rand foreign exchange derivative contracts, gold derivative contracts, and debt (Note 11).

   

Fair values

   

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement based on the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

As at September 30, 2014, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows:

      As at Sept. 30, 2014     As at Dec. 31, 2013  
      Level 1     Level 2     Level 1     Level 2  
      $     $     $     $  
                           
                           
  Long-term investments (Note 8)   25,380     -     20,769     -  
  Convertible senior subordinated notes (Note 11)   -     (247,287 )   -     (237,554 )
  Gold derivative contracts (Note 10)   -     35     -     (205 )
  South African rand foreign exchange derivative contracts   -     (798 )   -     (2,563 )

The fair value of the Company’s long-term investments was determined using market quotes from an active market for each investment.

The fair value of the convertible senior subordinated notes was determined using a broker’s price quote from an active market.

The fair value of the gold derivative contracts and South African rand foreign exchange derivative contracts was determined using prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

The Company has entered into foreign currency contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure of forecast expenditures denominated in Namibian dollars relating to the development of its Otjikoto project. As the Namibian dollar is pegged to the South African rand, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts between the South African rand and the United States dollar due to their greater liquidity.

ZTS Claim

   

On April 7, 2014, a local Malian company, Etablissements Zoumana Traoré SARL (ZTS), filed a claim against Papillon before the Commercial Court of Bamako seeking to claim an additional shareholding in Songhoi Resources SARL (Songhoi). Papillon’s Medinandi tenement is owned by Songhoi which is a joint venture company between Papillon, who owns 90%, and its local joint venture partner, Mani SARL (Mani), who owns 10%. Mani originally acquired the tenement from ZTS in 2006. On June 26, 2014, a judge of the Commercial Court of Bamako dismissed Papillon’s arguments on jurisdiction and accepted ZTS’s claims on the merits. The hearing was supposed to be limited to the question of jurisdiction and Papillon was not given an opportunity to submit arguments on the merits of the case. Notwithstanding, the judgement held that ZTS holds 17% of Songhoi’s share capital, 10% of which is already indirectly held by ZTS through Mani. In addition, the judge awarded damages to ZTS in an amount of 3 billion CFA francs (approximately $5.8 million) and a penalty amount of 100 million CFA francs (approximately $0.2 million) per day for any delay in effecting the decision of the judge. The Company considers the decision to be totally unlawful and has appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal in Bamako. The Company has accordingly not made an accrual for any element of these damages. In addition, Papillon has initiated International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitral proceedings in Paris in order to secure its rights against ZTS and other respondents, which has been registered by the ICC Secretariat.

   

The Company believes that it is not probable that the claim by ZTS will be successful and accordingly, no provision for any liability has been recognised in these financial statements.
