NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited (Tabular amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars)

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

First Majestic Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “First Majestic”) is in the business of silver production, development, exploration, and acquisition of mineral properties with a focus on silver production in Mexico. The Company presently owns and operates five producing silver mines: the La Encantada Silver Mine, La Parrilla Silver Mine, Del Toro Silver Mine, San Martin Silver Mine and the La Guitarra Silver Mine.

 

First Majestic is incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia and is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AG”, on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “FR”, on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the symbol “AG” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “FMV”. The Company’s head office and principal address is located at 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1805, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L2.

 

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies consistent with those in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014, as some disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis except for certain items that are measured at fair value including derivative financial instruments (Note 21(a)), marketable securities (Note 13) and the prepayment facilities (Note 18). All dollar amounts presented are in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

 

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies consistent with those in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company applied the critical judgements and estimates disclosed in note 3 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

3.ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued)

 

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at June 30, 2015

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, IAS 18 – Revenue, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 – Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is currently mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial instruments

 

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

4.SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company has seven reporting segments, including five operating segments located in Mexico, one retail market segment in Canada and one silver trading segment in Europe. Others consists primarily of the Company’s other development and exploration properties (Note 14) not considered segments, other investments (Note 16), prepayment facilities (Note 18), corporate and intercompany eliminations.

 

All of the Company’s operations are within the mining industry and its major products are silver doré, silver-lead and silver-zinc concentrates. Transfer prices between reporting segments are set on an arms-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Coins and bullion cost of sales are based on transfer prices.

 

A reporting segment is defined as a component of the Company that:

·engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
·whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and
·for which discrete financial information is available.

 

Management evaluates segment performance based on mine operating earnings as other expenses are not allocated to the segments.

14.MINING INTERESTS

 

Mining interests primarily consist of acquisition, exploration, development and field support costs directly related to the Company’s operations and projects. Upon commencement of commercial production, mining interests for producing properties are depleted on a units-of-production basis over the estimated economic life of the mine. In applying the units of production method, depletion is determined using quantity of material extracted from the mine in the period as a portion of total quantity of material, based on reserves and resources, considered to be highly probable to be economically extracted over the life of mine plan. If no published reserves and resources are available, the Company may rely on internal estimates of economically recoverable mineralized material, prepared on a basis consistent with that used for determining reserves and resources, for purpose of determining depletion.

16.OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

As at December 31, 2014, the Company held a 31.7% interest in Sundance, a privately held exploration company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, as part of a plan of arrangement, Sundance closed a private placement of CAD$5.0 million in March 2015 and completed the reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Albion Petroleum Ltd. Concurrent with the RTO, subscription receipts of CAD$2.7 million were converted into shares of Sundance. Following the RTO, Sundance changed its name to First Mining Finance Corp. and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “FF”.

 

As a result of the aforementioned transactions, First Majestic’s holding in Sundance was converted on a 1:1 basis into common shares of First Mining, equivalent to 19.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Mining. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized a gain of $0.1 million in relation to dilution of its investment in First Mining from 31.7% to 19.7%.

 

Due to certain common directors and a common officer, the Company’s investment in First Mining is accounted for as an investment in associate. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s share of First Mining’s net loss was $0.3 million (2014 - $nil) and $0.4 million (2014 - $nil), respectively.

 

As at June 30, 2015, the Company’s investment in First Mining has a carrying value of $3.0 million and a market value of $7.1 million based on Level 1 fair value measurement.

21.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s financial instruments and related risk management objectives, policies, exposures and sensitivity related to financial risks are summarized below.

 

(a)Fair value and categories of financial instruments

 

Financial instruments included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position are measured either at fair value or amortized cost. Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to approximate amounts for which the instruments could be exchanged in an arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.

 

The Company uses various valuation techniques in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the extent to which the fair value is observable. The following fair value hierarchy is used to categorize and disclose the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held at fair value for which a valuation technique is used:

 

Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:All inputs which have a significant effect on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term.

 

Level 3:Inputs which have a significant effect on the fair value are not based on observable market data.

 

The table below summarizes the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument:

 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value   Valuation Method
Cash equivalents (short-term investments)   Assumed to approximate carrying value
Trade receivables (related to concentrate sales)   Receivables that are subject to provisional pricing and final price adjustment at the end of the quotational period are estimated based on observable forward price of metal per London Metal Exchange (Level 2)
Marketable securities
Silver futures derivatives
Foreign exchange derivatives
  Based on quoted market prices for identical assets in an active market (Level 1) as at the date of statements of financial position
Prepayment facilities   Based on observable forward price curve of lead and zinc per London Metal Exchange (Level 2). Related call options are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market (Level 1) as at the date of statements of financial position
     
Financial Instruments Measured at Amortized Costs   Valuation Method
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other payables
  Approximated carrying value due to their short-term nature
Finance leases   Assumed to approximate carrying value

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014.

 

(b)Capital risk management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility to continue as a going concern while optimizing growth and maximizing returns of investments from shareholders. The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The Company monitors its capital structure and, based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may adjust the structure by repurchasing shares, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or retiring existing debt. The Company prepares annual budget and quarterly forecasts to facilitate the management of its capital requirements. The annual budget is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The capital of the Company consists of equity (comprising of issued capital, equity reserves and retained earnings), prepayment facilities, lease obligations, net of cash and cash equivalents as follows:

 

   June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014 
Equity  $542,971   $520,533 
Prepayment facilities   43,256    55,976 
Lease obligations   21,748    26,883 
Less: cash and cash equivalents   (37,742)   (40,345)
   $570,233   $563,047 

 

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company expects that its available capital resources will be sufficient to carry out its development plans and operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of complying with covenants under the prepayment facility agreements. As at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

21.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

(c)Financial risk management

 

There are no significant changes in financial risk management compared to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for the following:

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they arise. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and contractual obligations. The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand, combined with cash flows from operations, to meet operating requirements as they arise for at least the next 12 months.

 

The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and commitments based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows:

 

   Carrying Amount

Prepayment facilities   43,256    53,127    31,742    21,385    -    - 
Finance lease obligations   21,748    23,601    11,358    12,103    140    - 
Decommissioning liabilities   15,051    15,897    -    -    -    15,897 
   $114,736   $127,306   $77,781   $33,488   $140   $15,897 

 

Currency Risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily relating to financial instruments that are denominated in Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos, which would impact the Company’s net earnings and other comprehensive income. To manage foreign exchange risk, the Company may occasionally enter into short-term foreign currency derivatives. The foreign currency derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

 

The sensitivity of the Company’s net earnings and comprehensive income due to changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar is included in the table below:

   $22,736   $7,331   $(18,365)  $29,239   $40,941   $4,094   $(5,639)  $(564)

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on silver, gold, lead and zinc, which have a direct and immediate impact on the value of its related financial instruments and net earnings. The Company’s revenues are directly dependent on commodity prices that have shown volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its commodity price risk to silver but has forward sales agreements to sell a portion of its lead and zinc production at a fixed price (see Note 18). The Company purchased call options on lead and zinc futures to mitigate potential exposure to future price increases in lead and zinc for its lead and zinc forward sales agreements.

23.CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS

 

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

Mexican Federal Labour Law

 

In 2012, the Mexican government introduced changes to the federal labour law which made certain amendments to the law relating to the use of service companies and subcontractors and the obligations with respect to workers’ participation benefits. These amendments may have an effect on the distribution of profits to workers and result in additional financial obligations to the Company. The Company continues to be in compliance with the federal labour law and believes that these amendments will not result in any new material obligations. Based on this assessment, the Company has not accrued any provisions as at June 30, 2015. The Company will continue to monitor developments in Mexico and to assess the potential impact of these amendments.

 

First Silver Litigation

 

In April 2013, the Company received a positive judgment on the First Silver litigation from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”), which awarded the sum of $93.8 million in favour of First Majestic against Hector Davila Santos (the “Defendant”). The Company received a sum of $14.1 million in June 2013 as partial payment of the judgment, leaving an unpaid amount of approximately $65.3 million (CAD$81.5 million). As part of the ruling, the Court granted orders restricting any transfer or encumbrance of the Bolaños Mine by the defendant and limiting mining at the Bolaños Mine. The orders also require that the defendant to preserve net cash flow from the Bolaños Mine in a holding account and periodically provide to the Company certain information regarding the Bolaños Mine. However, there can be no guarantee that the remainder of the judgment amount will be collected and it is likely that it will be necessary to take additional action in Mexico and/or elsewhere to recover the balance. Therefore, as at June 30, 2015, the Company has not accrued any of the remaining $65.3 million (CAD$81.5 million) unpaid judgment in favour of the Company.

 

24.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The following significant events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2015:

 

a)On July 27, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of SilverCrest for consideration of 0.2769 common shares of First Majestic plus CAD$0.0001 in cash per SilverCrest common share. With this acquisition, SilverCrest’s Santa Elena Mine will be First Majestic’s sixth producing silver mine, adding further growth potential to the Company’s portfolio of Mexican projects. It will also add approximately CAD$30 million in cash and further enhances the Company’s working capital position.

 

b)3,844 common shares were cancelled; and

 

c)68,750 options were cancelled.
