Notes to the consolidated financial statements

March 31, 2008

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of business and nature of operations

The Company is a gold producer engaged in gold mining and related activities including exploration, extraction, processing and reclamation. The Company’s assets are comprised of the Amapari gold mine in Brazil and the Peak gold mine in Australia that were acquired in the second quarter of 2007. On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a signed letter of agreement to complete a business combination with Metallica Resources Inc. and New Gold Inc. (refer to Note 5 (b)).

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements, except as in Note 3. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the thirteen months ended December 31, 2007, as they do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as at March 31, 2008 and results of operations, deficit and other comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

3. Changes in accounting policies

 

  (a) Capital disclosures and financial instruments - Disclosures and presentation

The Company adopted three new presentation and disclosure standards that were issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants: Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures (“Section 1535”), Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures (“Section 3862”) and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation (“Section 3863”).

Section 1535 requires the disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.

Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements for financial instruments. Sections 3862 and 3863 place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.

3. Changes in accounting policies (continued)

 

  (b) Inventories

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Section 3031, Inventories, which replaces the existing Section 3030, establishes standards for the measurement and disclosure of inventories. The new standard provides more extensive guidance on the determination of cost, including allocation overhead, requires impairment testing and expands the disclosure requirements. The adoption of Section 3031 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2008.

 

4. Financial instruments

The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and other price risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

 

  (a) Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2007.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity and loans payable, as well as the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid, lower risk short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities 120 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry its exploration and development plans and operations through its current reporting period.

The Company does not have any borrowings or other financial instruments with covenants attached.

4. Fair values of financial instruments (continued)

 

  (b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company’s financial assets are primarily composed of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables; however it also arises on cash and cash equivalents.

To mitigate exposure to credit risk, the Company has established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable worthiness, and to ensure liquidity of available funds.

The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The Company sells its products exclusively to large international organizations with strong credit ratings. The historical level of customer defaults is minimal and, as a result, the credit risk associated with trade receivables at March 31, 2008 is not considered to be high.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in large Canadian financial institutions. Short term investments (including those presented as part of cash and cash equivalents) are composed of financial instruments issued by Canadian banks and companies with high investment-grade rate. These investments mature at various dates over the current operating period.

 

  (c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 4 (a) of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

The Company’s overall liquidity risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.

 

  (d) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Australia, Brazil and Canada. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

4. Fair values of financial instruments (continued)

 

  (d) Currency risk (continued)

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The sensitivity of the Company’s net earnings and other comprehensive income from these financial instruments due to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies noted below:

 

     March 31, 2008  
     10% increase
in the
Australian
dollar
   10% decrease
in the
Australian
dollar
 
     $    $  

Net earnings and other comprehensive income

   2,139    (2,614 )
           

For the period ended March 31, 2008, a 10% fluctuation between the Brazilian real and Canadian dollar, relative to the U.S. dollar would not have a significant impact on net earnings and other comprehensive income.

 

  (e) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term investments. Presently, all of the Company’s outstanding borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and is comfortable with its current exposure. The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk.

 

  (f) Commodity price risk

Profitability of the Company depends on metal prices for gold and copper. Gold and copper prices are affected by numerous factors such as the sale or purchase of gold by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold and copper-producing countries throughout the world.

A 10% change in commodity prices would impact the Company’s net earnings as follows:

4. Fair values of financial instruments (continued)

 

  (g) Financial assets and liabilities

The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which is measured at fair value. Prepaids, accounts receivable, and short-term borrowings are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as held-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price.

The carrying value less impairment provision, if necessary, of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash, short-term money market investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings.

For cash, short-term money market investments, and current accounts receivable and payable and short-term borrowings, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.

 

5. Business combination

 

  (a) On February 15, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) to acquire Goldcorp’s Amapari mine in Brazil and Peak mine in Australia (the “Acquisition”). The Company completed the acquisition of the Amapari mine and the Peak mine on April 3, 2007 and April 27, 2007, respectively. In consideration for the acquisition of the Amapari and Peak mines, the Company issued to Goldcorp 155 million common shares with a value of $100 million and paid $200 million in cash, respectively.

The business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with the Company as the acquirer and the Amapari and Peak Mines as the acquiree. The results of the operations of the acquired assets are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the dates of the Acquisition.

In order to finance the Acquisition and to provide working capital, the Company completed a financing of 435 million subscription receipts at a price of Cdn$0.75 per subscription receipt for net cash proceeds of approximately Cdn$309.9 million ($267.5 million) on April 3, 2007. The subscription receipts were immediately converted into units of the Company with each unit consisting of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$1.50 per share until April 3, 2012.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company issued as a transaction success fee 5 million common shares of the Company with a value of approximately $3.2 million to Endeavour Financial (“Endeavour”), a company in which a director of the Company was an officer. This amount has been recorded as an acquisition cost. In addition, the Company has capitalized cash transaction costs of approximately $1.8 million relating to the Acquisition.

  (b) On March 31, 2008, the Company signed a letter agreement to complete a business combination (the “transaction”) with Metallica Resources Inc. and New Gold Inc. The combined company, to be called New Gold Inc., will own three operating gold mines in Australia, Brazil and Mexico, and development projects in Canada and Chile.

The transaction is subject to the completion of confirmatory due diligence, definitive documentation, regulatory approvals and obtaining a minimum two-thirds shareholder approval at special meetings of the shareholders of each of Metallica Resources and Peak Gold and majority approval at a special meeting of the shareholders of New Gold. The obligations of Metallica Resources and Peak Gold are also conditional upon New Gold obtaining waivers or amendments to certain terms and conditions of its $237 million unsecured Series D notes (the “Notes”).

On May 8, 2008, New Gold announced that the resolution amending certain terms and conditions of the Notes has been approved by written resolution of holders of more than 62  2/3% of the Notes.

On May 12, 2008, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement with Metallica Resources Ltd. and New Gold in connection with the business combination.

The transaction is expected to close on or about June 30, 2008.

On November 28, 2007, the Company completed a private placement financing of 147,723,334 Special Warrants at a price of Cdn$0.75 per Special Warrant for total gross proceeds at Cdn$110.8 million (US$111.8 million) and net proceeds after issue costs of Cdn$103.2 million (US$104.2 million). Each Special Warrant entitled the holder thereof to receive one unit of the Company, at no additional cost. Each unit comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire one additional share purchase warrant, at a price of Cdn$0.90 until November 28, 2012.

On February 28, 2008, the 147,723,334 Special Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2007 were converted into 147,723,334 common shares of the Company and 73,861,667 common share purchase warrants. The warrants were valued at $23.7 million using the Black-Scholes pricing model and that amount is included in share issue costs and contributed surplus. A fair value of approximately $0.32 for each warrant was calculated using the following assumptions: no dividends are paid, volatility of 60%, risk free interest rate of 3.4%, and expected life of five years.

9. Intangible royalty asset

The asset relates to a royalty agreement between Amapari and a third party. Under the agreement, the Company receives 1% of gross revenues from iron ore mined by the third party on adjacent properties. The asset is amortized on a units-of-production basis which is measured by a portion of the third-party mine’s economically recoverable and proven ore reserves recovered during the period. As of March 31, 2008, no amortization has been taken as production under the terms of the agreement was minimal.
