Eldorado Gold Corporation

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.General Information

Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or the “Company”) is a gold exploration, development, mining and production company. The Company has operations and ongoing exploration and development projects in Turkey, China, Greece, Brazil and Romania.

Eldorado is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada.

 

2.Basis of preparation
a)Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The same accounting policies are used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as for the most recent audited annual financial statements and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 27, 2016.

b)Judgement and estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the exception of the judgements and estimates related to assets held for sale, as discussed in note 5.

 

3.Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes

The following standards have been published and are mandatory for Eldorado’s annual accounting periods no earlier than January 1, 2018:

·IFRS 2 ‘Share-Based Payments’ In June 2016, the IASB issued final amendments to this standard. IFRS 2 clarifies the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. These amendments deal with variations in the final settlement arrangements including: (a) accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition, (b) classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features, and (c) accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity. IFRS 2 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the impact of the adoption of this standard.
·IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ – This standard was published in July 2014 and replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements.

3.Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes (continued)

It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

·IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ – This standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.
·IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ This standard was published in January 2016 and replaces the existing guidance in IAS 17, ‘Leases’. IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for lessees and for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The accounting treatment for lessors will remain largely the same as under IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

There are other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that have been published and are not yet effective. The Company believes they will have no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

4.Transactions

        Eastern Dragon agreement

In March 2014, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, entered into a Subscription and a Shareholders agreement (“Agreements”) with CDH Fortune II Limited (“CDH”).

As a result of these Agreements, CDH acquired 21.05% of the total ordinary shares of Sino Gold Tenya (HK) Limited (“Tenya”), a subsidiary of the Company, and indirectly a 20% interest in the Eastern Dragon Project (“ED”). This transaction has been accounted as an equity transaction with the recognition of a non-controlling interest in the amount of $40,000 representing the consideration received.

Under the terms of the Agreements, CDH had the right to require Eldorado to purchase or procure the purchase by another party of CDH’s shares in Tenya at a fixed price (“Put Option”) for 90 days following the second anniversary of the Agreements. A liability in the initial amount of $46,970 was recorded against equity at the transaction date, representing the present value of the redemption amount of the Put Option. Future changes in the present value of the redemption amount of the Put Option were also charged against equity. Upon expiration of the Put Option in the second quarter of 2016, the net present value of this liability was reversed against equity as the Put Option lapsed without being exercised by CDH.

The Agreements include a second put option that can be exercised by CDH within 90 days following the third anniversary of the Agreements. No liability has been recorded for the second put option, as the conditions under this put option are not within the control of CDH.

The Agreements include other rights and obligations of the Company and CDH associated with the advancement of the ED project, the holding structure, and the number of subsidiaries related to our Chinese assets.

5.Discontinued operations

       On April 26, 2016, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its 82 percent interest in Jinfeng to a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National Gold Group (“CNG”) for $300 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments. The sale was completed on September 6, 2016. In addition to the sale of Jinfeng, on May 16, 2016 Eldorado announced it had reached an agreement to sell its respective interest in White Mountain, Tanjianshan and Eastern Dragon to an affiliate of Yintai Resources Co. Ltd. (“Yintai”) for $600 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Yintai transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016 and is subject to obtaining various regulatory and shareholders approvals and other customary closing conditions.

An initial post-tax loss of $339 million was recognized on re-measurement to fair value less cost of disposal of our Chinese operations (“China Business”) during the second quarter. This loss was allocated first to goodwill and the remainder to property, plant and equipment. On September 6, 2016, due to the sale of Jinfeng, a net loss on sale of assets held for sale of $207 million was realized in net loss from discontinued operations. The loss on re-measurement to fair value less costs to sell was reduced to $136 million to reflect the part of the China Business that is still included in our discontinued operations as at September 30, 2016.
The loss on disposal of Jinfeng was calculated as follows:

 

          $
Net proceeds received:    
   Sales price   300,000
   Pre-closing cash amount   25,656
   Working capital adjustment   (813)

The results from operations for our China Business have, together with restated comparatives, been presented as discontinued operations within the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The discontinued operations include the results of Jinfeng up to September 6, 2016.

The Company applies judgment to determine whether an asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition and that its sale is highly probable and therefore should be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date. Conditions that support a highly probable sale include the following: an appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group, an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated, the asset or disposal group has been actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale.

The CNG and Yintai transactions were a result of a strategic review by the Company’s management to maximize the value of the Company’s operations in China. Accordingly, the disposal of substantially all of the China Business through the CNG and Yintai transactions represents a single coordinated plan to dispose of a major line of business or geographical area of operations.

The Company concluded that during the second quarter of 2016, the assets and liabilities of the China Business met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, the group of assets and liabilities were presented separately under current assets and current liabilities, respectively, as settlement is expected within twelve months. These assets have been re-measured to fair value less cost of disposal with the loss recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, the assets of the China Business are not depreciated while they are classified as held for sale.

(a) Revolving credit facility

In November 2012, the Company entered into a $375 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks (“the credit facility”). The credit facility was due to mature on November 23, 2016.

In June 2016, the Company amended and restated the existing revolving credit agreement (“the amended and restated credit agreement” or “ARCA”) and reduced the available credit to $250 million with the option to increase by an additional $100 million through an accordion feature. The maturity date was also extended to June 13, 2020. The ARCA continues to be secured by the shares of SG Resources and Tuprag, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The ARCA contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur aggregate unsecured indebtedness exceeding $850 million, incur secured indebtedness exceeding $200 million and permitted unsecured indebtedness exceeding $150 million. The ARCA also contains restrictions for making distributions in certain circumstances, selling material assets (other than the permitted disposition of the China Business) and conducting business other than that which relates to the mining industry. Significant financial covenants include a maximum Net Debt to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of 3.5:1 and a minimum EBITDA to Interest of 3:1. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2016.

6.Debt (continued)

Loan interest is variable dependent on a Net Leverage ratio pricing grid. The Company’s current net leverage ratio is approximately 1.0:1. At this ratio, interest charges and fees are as follows: LIBOR plus margin of 2.25% and undrawn standby fee of 0.60%. Fees of $2,031 were paid on the amendment dated June 2016. This amount has been deferred as pre-payment for liquidity services and is being amortized to financing costs over the term of the credit facility. As at September 30, 2016, the prepaid loan cost on the balance sheet was $1,862.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $10 million drawn against the facility. This amount was repaid on October 6, 2016.

(b) Senior notes

On December 10, 2012, the Company completed an offering of $600 million senior notes (“the notes”) at par value, with a coupon rate of 6.125% due December 15, 2020. The notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. Net deferred financing costs of $8,960 have been included as an offset in the balance of the notes in the financial statements and are being amortized over the term of the notes.

The fair market value of the notes as at September 30, 2016 was $607.9 million.

(c) Entrusted loan

In November 2010, Eastern Dragon, HSBC Bank (China) and QDML entered into an entrusted loan agreement, which currently has an approved limit of RMB 720 million ($107,820).

Under the terms of the entrusted loan, QDML with its own funds entrusts HSBC Bank (China) to provide a loan facility in the name of QDML to Eastern Dragon. The loan can be drawn down in tranches. Each drawdown bears interest fixed at the prevailing lending rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China on the date of drawdown. Each drawdown has a term of one year and can be rolled forward at the discretion of QDML. The interest rate on this loan as at September 30, 2016 was 4.59%.

As at September 30, 2016, RMB 697.4 million ($104,455) had been drawn under the entrusted loan. The entrusted loan has been recorded on a net settlement basis.

 

7.Share capital

Eldorado’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of voting common shares without par value and an unlimited number of non-voting common shares without par value. At September 30, 2016 there were 716,587,134 (December 31, 2015 – 716,587,134) voting common shares and no non-voting common shares (December 31, 2015none) outstanding.

On May 25, 2016 the shareholders of the Company approved by special resolution the reduction of the stated capital account of the Company. As at September 30, 2016, the stated capital of the Company has been reduced by $2,500,000.

(d) Performance share units plan

A total of 796,652 performance share units (“PSUs”) were granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 under the Company’s PSU plan.

When fully vested, the number of PSUs redeemed will range from 0% to 200% of the target award, subject to the performance of the share price over the 3 year period. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance from treasury under the PSU plan is 3,130,000.

Compensation expense related to PSUs for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $406 (YTD - $1,168).

 

9.Fair value of financial instruments

Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The only assets measured at fair value as at September 30, 2016 are marketable securities and assets held for sale (see note 5). No liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2016 except for the liabilities related to the assets held for sale.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily publicly-traded equity investments classified as available-for-sale securities.

With the exception of the fair market value of the Company’s senior notes (note 6b), which are included in level 2, all carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value.

11.Segmented information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include gross profit (loss), expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at September 30, 2016, Eldorado had five reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.

11.1Geographical segments

Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine or mine under construction. The Turkey reporting segment includes the Kişladağ and the Efemçukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkey. The Brazil reporting segment includes the Vila Nova mine, Tocantinzinho project and exploration activities in Brazil. The Greece reporting segment includes the Stratoni mine, the Olympias, Skouries, Perama Hill and Sapes projects and exploration activities in Greece. The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej project and exploration activities in Romania. Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate office and exploration activities in other countries.

Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on at least a monthly basis. The mines in each of the different segments share similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated accordingly.
