1.

Description of business and nature of operations

  

The Company is a gold producer engaged in gold mining and related activities including acquisition, exploration, extraction, processing and reclamation. The Company’s assets are comprised of the Amapari mine in Brazil, the Cerro San Pedro mine in Mexico, the Peak mine in Australia, and the Mesquite mine in the United States (“U.S.”). Significant development projects include the New Afton copper-gold project in Canada and a 30% interest in a copper- gold project in Chile.

  

On June 30, 2008 New Gold Inc. (“NGI”), Metallica Resources Inc. (“Metallica”) and Peak Gold Ltd. (“Peak Gold” or the “Company”) completed a business combination and the acquisition of assets (the “Transaction” see Note 4 (b)). In accordance with the provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations, Peak Gold has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As such, these interim consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Peak Gold, with the comparative information being that of Peak Gold. Following completion of the Transaction, Peak Gold is now known as New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”). References to NGI in these consolidated interim financial statements refer to transactions involving the pre- transaction public company New Gold Inc. Comparative information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 include only the operations of Amapari and Peak Mines.

  

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed a business combination (“Business Combination” see Note 4 (a)) with Western Goldfields Inc. (“Western Goldfields”). The Business Combination was completed by way of plan of arrangement that was approved by the New Gold and Western Goldfields shareholders on May 13 and May 14, 2009, respectively and which received final court approval on May 27, 2009. May 27, 2009 was determined to be the date of acquisition and interim consolidated financial statements include the results of Western Goldfields from May 27, 2009 to June 30, 2009.

  
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. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, as they do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements.

  

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

  

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as at June 30, 2009 and results of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation (continued)

The principal subsidiaries of the Company as of June 30, 2009 are as follows:

Subsidiary   Interest

Variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline (“AcG”) 15, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIE’s are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities’ expected losses and/or expected residual returns. The Company has determined that it does not have any investments that qualify as VIE’s.

       

All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Changes in accounting policies

       
(a)

Accounting policies implemented effective January 1, 2009

       
(i)

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, and establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA restricted the application of Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) 27, Revenues and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period. The adoption of Section 3064 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Changes in accounting policies (continued)

     
(a)

Accounting policies implemented effective January 1, 2009 (continued)

     
(ii)

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Sections 1582, Business Combinations, (“Section 1582”), 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, (“Section 1601”) and 1602, Non-controlling Interests, (“Section 1602”) which replaces CICA Handbook Sections 1581, Business Combinations, and 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Section 1582 is applicable for the Company’s business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of these standards had a significant impact on how the Company accounted for the business combination with Western Goldfields. The impact was as follows:

     
  •  
  • Transaction costs were not capitalized as part of the purchase consideration and instead were expensed as incurred. As a result of this, the Company has expensed approximately $6.6 million transaction costs.

         
  •  
  • Measurement date for equity instruments issued by the Company was at the date of acquisition (May 27, 2009) and not at the average of a few days before and after the terms were agreed to and announced (March 4, 2009). This resulted in using a share price of $2.63 versus a share price of $1.73. This resulted in an increase in the purchase consideration for the Business Combination of $138.1 million, resulting in increased goodwill being recorded on the balance sheet (Note 4 (a)).

         
    (iii)

    On January 20, 2009, the CICA issued EIC 173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarifies that an entity’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments. EIC 173 is to be applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods in interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after the date of issuance of EIC 173. The Company adopted this recommendation January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard had a significant impact on the fair value of the gold forward sales at June 30, 2009. Without the inclusion of the Company’s own credit risk the fair value of the gold hedge would have been $61.4 million compared to $54.5 million.

    Changes in accounting policies (continued)

       
    (b)

    International Financial Reporting Standards

       

    In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed January 1, 2011 as the date IFRS will replace current Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises. This will result in the Company reporting under IFRS starting with the interim period ending March 31, 2011, with restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported under Canadian GAAP. The Company expects the transition to IFRS to impact accounting policies, financing reporting, IT systems and processes, as well as certain business activities.

       

    During the first quarter of 2009, the Company completed a high-level impact assessment to identify key areas that will be affected by the conversion. A project team has been established to manage the conversion process, and a detailed IFRS conversion plan has been completed. The detailed analysis of the IFRS-Canadian GAAP differences, and the selection of accounting policy choices under IFRS has commenced and is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company will continuously monitor changes in IFRS leading up to the changeover date, and will update its conversion plan as required.

    Business combination and asset acquisition

       
    (a)

    Acquisition of Western Goldfields Inc.

       

    On March 4, 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Western Goldfields. Under the agreement, the Company exchanged one common share of Western Goldfields and Cdn$0.0001 in cash for each common share of Western Goldfields. The Business Combination closed on May 27, 2009.

       

    142,796,287 common shares issued to Western Goldfields were valued at a $2.63 per share. The value per share was determined using the May 27, 2009 closing share price of New Gold. Holders of options, warrants and other convertible instruments of Western Goldfields exchanged such equity instruments for similar securities of New Gold at an exchange rate of one to one.

    Issuance of New Gold shares (142,796,287 common shares)   375,554  
    Fair value of options issued   9,749  
    Fair value of warrants issued   11,850  
    Purchase consideration   397,153  
           
    Net assets acquired      
       Net working capital (including cash of $20,735)   39,088  
       Property, plant and equipment   102,693  
       Mineral properties   234,479  
       Investments - reclamation and remediation   8,978  
       Other assets   1,790  
       Loss on gold contracts   (50,960 )

       Goodwill   189,634  
        397,153  

    For purposes of these consolidated interim financial statements the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including allocation of mining interest to depletable and non-depletable properties, based on management’s best estimates and available information at the time of the Business Combination. The preliminary allocation is subject to change.

        (i)

    Goodwill impairment charges

           
       

    In preparing its first quarter consolidated financial statements, the Company elected to early adopt Section 1582. The acquisition date was determined to be May 27, 2009, the date the court approved the Business Combination under the Ontario Business Corporation Act (“OBCA”). On May 27, 2009, the share price was $2.63 (Cdn$2.92) which resulted in additional purchase consideration of $138.1 million that would not have been recorded under the Company’s previous accounting policy. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $189 million in goodwill for the Business Combination with Western Goldfields.

    (a)

    Acquisition of Western Goldfields Inc. (continued)

        
    (i)

    Goodwill impairment charges (continued)

        

    The Company allocated its goodwill to the Mesquite mine as it was the only reporting unit acquired pursuant to the Western Goldfields Business Combination. The net asset value of the Mesquite mine consist of plant and equipment and mining properties. Plant and equipment were valued using an independent third party valuator. Mining properties were valued using the discounted cash flow of proven and probable reserves, measured, indicated and inferred resources. In addition the Company valued the sulfide potential using prices paid for similar market transactions.

        

    The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually and when impairment indicators exist. Asset valuations and impairment charges are based on management estimates and assumptions.

        

    The Company has determined that it cannot support the carrying value of this goodwill as at June 30, 2009 and as a result the Company has recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $189.6 million.

        
    (b)

    Acquisition of Metallica and NGI

        

    On May 9, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to complete a business combination (the “Transaction”) with Metallica and NGI.

        
    (i)

    Metallica

        

    The acquisition of Metallica has been accounted for as a purchase transaction. Shareholders of Metallica received 0.9 of a New Gold common share and nominal cash consideration for each one common share of Metallica.

        

    87,447,821 common shares issued to Metallica shareholders were valued at $6.92 per share. The value per share was determined with reference to the share price of New Gold common shares for the two days prior to, the day of, and the two days subsequent to the date of the announcement on March 31, 2008. Holders of options, warrants or other convertible instruments of Metallica (“Metallica equity instruments”) exchanged such equity instrument for similar securities of New Gold at an exchange ratio of 0.9 and at a price equivalent to the original price divided by 0.9.

        (ii)

    NGI

           
       

    This element of the Transaction has been accounted for as a purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities of NGI by Peak Gold.

           
       

    In accordance with the determination that Peak Gold is the accounting acquirer in this Transaction, the deemed consideration is the market value of the 37,005,717 NGI common shares and the fair value of options, warrants and convertible or exchangeable securities of NGI currently outstanding. As at June 30, 2008, there were options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities and other rights to acquire an aggregate of 30,678,500 common shares of NGI. The common shares of NGI have been valued at $7.82 per share, the share price of NGI as of June 30, 2008, the closing date of the Transaction.

    Restricted cash

       

    The Company has a term loan facility with a syndicate of banks (Note 9 (c)). Under the terms of this facility, the Company has set aside $7.5 million in a cost overrun account until the completion of the Mesquite mine development project, which occurs on satisfaction of physical and economic completion tests as set out in the credit agreement. At completion, unused funds will be applied to fund a debt service reserve account, established to hold an amount equal to the debt service amounts payable on the next repayment date as set out in the credit agreement, and thereafter any surplus funds may be returned to the Company. Interest earned on restricted cash is for the account of the Company. Completion of the Mesquite mine development project, as defined in the credit agreement, has not yet been reached.

      (a)

    Work-in-process

         
     

    Work-in-process is the stage between the product (gold, silver and copper) as it sits as a raw material (mined or stockpiled) and when it has been converted into the finished product (doré or concentrate).

         
      (b)

    Heap leach ore

         
     

    The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process used at the Cerro San Pedro and Mesquite mines. Under this method, ore is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution which dissolves the gold contained in the ore.

         
      (c)

    Stockpiled ore

    The low-grade stockpiled ore is located at the Peak mines and is forecasted to be drawn down throughout the remainder of the life of the mines.

    The amount of inventories recognized in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is $29.8 million and $57.9 million, respectively. There were no reversals of write-downs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

    Investments

    The Company owns Cdn$160 million of face value of long-term asset backed notes (“AB Notes”). These AB Notes were issued as replacement of asset backed commercial paper (“ABCP”) formerly held by the Company. When the ABCP matured but was not redeemed in 2007, it became the subject of a restructuring process that replaced the ABCP with long-term asset backed securities (“New Notes”). The restructuring was completed and the AB Notes were issued on January 21, 2009.

    The Company has estimated the fair value of the New Notes at June 30, 2009 using the methodology and assumptions outlined below. The fair value estimate of the New Notes under the restructuring has been calculated based on information provided by the Pan Canadian Investor Committee, the monitor of the restructuring, and the administrator of MAV2 and MAV3. The table below summarizes the Company’s valuation:

              Base case

      *

    the range of fair values estimated by the Company varied between $69.6 million (Cdn$80.9 million) and $84.6 million (Cdn$98.3 million)

    The Company’s valuation methodology entails gathering as many facts as possible about the New Notes, making assumptions and estimates where certain facts are unavailable, and then applying its best estimate of prospective buyers’ required yield for investing in such notes. These figures are then used to calculate the present value of the New Notes using required yield as the discount factor. Using a range of potential discount factors allows the Company to estimate a range of recoverable values. In several cases, the Company has been able to identify the net asset value of the assets supporting certain of its notes and has factored these values into its analysis.

    Investments (continued)

       

    The fair market value of the AB Notes has been impacted by a number of factors as follows:

       
  •  
  • There has been an improvement in general corporate credit market conditions over this time period. This decrease in credit risk impacts the intrinsic value of the AB Notes due to a general lowering of default risk - albeit a decline from historically high levels - and a decrease in the likelihood that credit risk limits built into the AB Notes will be exceeded (specifically, the spread-based margin triggers). Accordingly, the required yield on the AB Notes has been reduced to reflect easing in the credit markets.

       
  •  
  • The simple passage of time. As with all debt instruments, the value of these AB Notes will approach par as the date of maturity approaches and assuming that they do not default. The reduction in the time-to-maturity is a factor that increases the fair market value of the AB Notes this period.

       
  •  
  • There were two defaults in the pool of assets underlying the AB ‘pooled’ notes. Two credit derivative trades that had Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as the counterparty were included in the pool but were not subject to the moratorium on margin calls and were also not supported by the margin facility. These trades failed to meet a required margin call and were subsequently terminated on March 13, 2009 with a 100% loss. This loss translates into 1.1% of the total value of the AB Notes and is realized within the most- junior ‘C’ notes which represent the first 3% of the total pool. Thus, the maximum value that could be returned to investors upon the maturity of the C notes is 67% of par.

       
  •  
  • The anticipated missed interest payments on the AB Notes. The interest income on the pool of assets underlying the pooled notes is variable and mostly based on the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rates. This variable income must first pay the fixed expense of the Margin Funding Facility (“MFF”) fee before any interest is paid to noteholders. The MFF lenders are the Canadian banks, some international banks, and the federal government. If there are not enough funds to pay the MFF fee in any given period, then the shortfall accrues and is payable in priority in future periods. There will be no interest payments on the notes until there is a rise in the prevailing interest rates and only once any accrued MFF fees are repaid. This anticipated near-term lack of income on the notes has a negative impact on their fair market value.

       
  •  
  • In April 2009 the Company received principal repayments in the amount of Cdn$9.4 million on an AB Note backed by traditional assets. This represented a return of principal at par for substantially all of the face value of the note. However, this note was valued at 97% of face value prior to the repayment; the impact on the remaining portfolio of AB Notes is a re-balancing towards lower-valued notes and, therefore, a decrease in the weighted average price of the remaining portfolio.

       

    As a result of this analysis, the Company has estimated the fair market value of its AB Notes investment to be $76.6 million (Cdn$89.0 million) as at June 30, 2009.

       

    While the Company believes that it has utilized an appropriate methodology to estimate fair value, given the current state and ongoing volatility of global credit markets there can be no assurance that management’s estimate of potential recovery as at June 30, 2009 is accurate. Subsequent adjustments, either materially higher or lower, may be required in future reporting periods. The Company will continue to aggressively manage the process to recover the maximum value from the original investments and interest due.

    Investments (continued)

       

    The secondary market for the AB Notes is very illiquid with only a very small number of trades reported that took place at very distressed sales prices. There is little bidding activity and it is difficult to ascertain what potential volume could be transacted at those bids. Investors wishing to sell their AB Notes would have to give up a significant liquidity discount below the intrinsic value of the notes. It is uncertain if or when a more liquid secondary market for the AB Notes will develop.

       

    The Company has designated the investments as held-for-trading financial instruments.

    The face value of the debentures as at June 30, 2009 is Cdn$55 million (December 31, 2008 - Cdn$55 million). Each debenture has a principal amount of Cdn$1,000, bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum and is convertible by the holders into shares of the Company at any time up to June 29, 2014 at a conversion price of Cdn$9.35 per share. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual instalments on January 1 and July 1 in each year.

       

    The Debentures are subordinate to the notes and any secured indebtedness incurred subsequent to the issue of the Debentures.

       

    The Debenture Indenture requires the Company to comply with certain reporting and other covenants.

       
    (c)

    Term loan facility

       

    As part of the Business Combination (Note 4 (a)), the Company acquired a term loan facility with a syndicate of banks under which the Company can borrow up to $105 million in connection with the development of the Mesquite mine. The term of the facility is until December 31, 2012 and comprises a multiple-draw term loan of which $87.3 million is available as required for the development of the Mesquite mine; the remainder will be available for up to 12 months after completion for corporate purposes. The facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Mesquite Mines Inc. (“WMMI”) and a pledge of the shares of WMMI owned by the Company. In addition, until completion, the facility is guaranteed by the Company. Under the terms of the facility, completion as defined by the credit agreement must be reached by June 30, 2009. The Company failed the completion test but received an extension from the syndicate to allow an amendment to the facility to be negotiated by September 30, 2009 (see Note 14 (d)).

       

    Interest on the term loan is charged at U.S. dollar LIBOR plus 2.2% prior to completion and U.S. dollar LIBOR plus 1.75% after completion. Completion occurs upon the satisfaction of certain technical and financial criteria as defined in the credit agreement. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had drawn $86.3 million less repayments of $22.4 million, under the facility and incurred interest at an average rate of approximately 2.6% for the period. Repayment of the project facility is on a semi- annual basis, from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012 according to an agreed schedule of percentages of the loan outstanding on the final day of the availability period. In addition to the scheduled repayments, mandatory prepayments are required semi-annually based on excess cash flows from the Mesquite mine. At June 30, 2009, there were excess cash flows that triggered a prepayment of approximately $3 million. This is expected to be paid in the third quarter.

    El Morro project funding loan

       

    Xstrata has agreed to fund 70% of the Company’s program funding commitments on El Morro (Note 8 (a)) until commencement of commercial production. These amounts, plus interest, will be repaid out of the Company’s distributions once El Morro is in production.

    Derivative instruments

       
    (a)

    Mark-to-market loss on gold hedging contracts

       

    Under the terms of the term loan facility (Note 9 (c)), WMMI was required, as a condition precedent to drawdown the loan, to enter into a gold hedging program acceptable to the banking syndicate. As such, the Company has executed gold forward sales contracts for 429,000 ounces of gold at a price of $801 per ounce. The hedging contracts represent a commitment of 5,500 ounces per month for 78 months that commenced July 2008 with the last commitment deliverable in December 2014.

       

    The Company settles these contracts, at the Company’s option, by physical delivery of gold or on a net financial settlement basis. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had remaining gold forward sales contracts for 363,000 ounces of gold at a price of $801 per ounce at a remaining commitment of 5,500 ounces per month for 66 months. Realized gains of $0.7 million were recognized for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The remaining contracts were marked-to-market as at June 30, 2009 using a spot price of gold of $934 per ounce. The cumulative unrealized loss of $54.5 million has been disclosed as a liability as at June 30, 2009 and the Company has recorded an unrealized and realized gain of $8.2 million related to the mark-to- market adjustment required to revalue the May 27, 2007 cumulative unrealized loss of $62.7 million to $54.5 million.

       
    (b)

    Mark-to-market gain on fuel contracts

       

    The Company entered into fuel hedge contracts that represent a total commitment of 1.5 million gallons of diesel per year at prices of $1.82 and $2.00 per gallon in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company will be financially settling 126,000 gallons of diesel per month.

       

    The contracts were marked-to-market as at June 30, 2009. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had a remaining commitment of 4.5 million gallons of diesel for 18 months. The cumulative unrealized gain of $0.8 million has been disclosed as an asset on the balance sheet as at June 30, 2009.

    The Company sells all of its concentrate production to two customers under an off-take contract. The loss of this customer or unexpected termination of the off-take contract could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

    The Company is not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of its gold because gold can be sold through numerous commodity market traders worldwide.

    The Company has five customers that account for over 85% of the concentrate and doré sales revenue.

    Commitments and contingencies

         
    (a)

    The Company has entered into a number of contractual commitments related to equipment orders to purchase long lead items or critical pieces of mining equipment and operating leases for its operations. At June 30, 2009, these commitments totaled $18.6 million and are expected to fall due over the next 12 months.

         
    (b)

    The Company terminated various employment, consulting and service agreements as a result of slowing development activities at the New Afton project and placing Amapari on temporary care and maintenance. Certain of the affected parties have or may in the future make legal claims in response to such terminations. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any such actions, but would vigorously defend against them.

         
    (c)

    The Company has received notice that legal claims in the amount of approximately $38.7 million (76.9 million reals) have been filed in Brazilian courts against the Company’s subsidiary, Amapari. The claims allege that Amapari has adversely impacted the quality of William Creek causing economic loss and health concerns. The Company believes that these claims are unfounded and intends to vigorously defend against them.

    Commitments and contingencies (continued)

       
    (d)

    Under a term loan facility in connection with the development of the Mesquite mine (Note 9 (c)), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WMMI, was subject to a completion test by June 30, 2009. The Company failed the completion test but received an extension with the syndicate to allow an amendment to the facility to be negotiated by September 30, 2009.

       

    In addition, production at the Mesquite Mine was below expected production levels during the second quarter agreed to in the term loan, which is considered a trigger event under the term loan facility. However, the Company has four months to remediate the trigger event. The Company expects to be in compliance with expected production levels under the agreement during the four month period.

       
    (e)

    The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time, arising in the ordinary course of business. Typically, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
