NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
(Amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)

New Gold Inc. (“New Gold” or the “Company”) is an intermediate gold producer engaged in gold mining and related activities including acquisition, exploration, extraction, processing and reclamation. The Company’s assets are comprised of the New Afton Mine in Canada, the Mesquite Mine in the United States (“U.S.”), the Peak Mines in Australia and the Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico. Significant projects include the Rainy River development project in Canada, the Blackwater development project in Canada and a 30% interest in the El Morro copper-gold development project in Chile.

The Company is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol NGD.

The Company’s registered office is located at 1800 – 555 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1M9, Canada.


 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies are presented as Note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except as noted in 2(b).

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 30, 2014.

(b) Changes in accounting policies
The Company has adopted the following new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) along with any amendments, effective January 1, 2014. These changes were applied in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.

IFRIC 21, Levies
IFRIC 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments was issued by the IASB in May 2013. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.

IAS 32, Financial instruments: presentation
IAS 32, Financial instruments: presentation (“IAS 32”), was amended by the IASB in December 2011. The amendment clarifies that an entity has a legally enforceable right to offset financial assets and financial liabilities if that right is not contingent on a future event and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.

IAS 36, Impairment of assets
IAS 36, Impairment of assets (“IAS 36”), was amended by the IASB in May 2013. The amendments require the disclosure of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period and additional disclosures about the measurement of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, including the discount rate when a present value technique is used to measure the recoverable amount. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.

3. FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On May 12, 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”), and IAS 38, Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”). In issuing the amendments, the IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of a tangible asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of a tangible asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The IASB has also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset.  This presumption for an intangible asset, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances.  The standard is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying the amendments, however does not anticipate that there will be any impact on its current method of calculating depreciation or amortization.

Share purchase warrants
The Company has outstanding share purchase warrants (“Warrants”), as at June 30, 2014. The Warrants have an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency and therefore are classified as a non-hedged derivative liability. The Warrants are measured at fair value on initial recognition, and subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains or losses are recognized in net earnings.

At June 30, 2014 the fair value of the derivative liability was $32.4 million (December 31, 2013 - $27.8 million). The change in fair value resulted in a loss of $7.1 million and a foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million on the revaluation of the Warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (2013 – fair value gain of $20.6 million and a foreign exchange gain of $1.4 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the change in fair value resulted in a loss of $4.8 million and a foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million (2013 – fair value gain of $43.2 million and a foreign exchange gain of $2.9 million).

As a result of Cerro San Pedro’s annual update of its life of mine plan, at December 31, 2013, the Company estimated that the long-term recoverable silver ounces on the pad at Cerro San Pedro had reduced by 1.4 million ounces. As a result, the Company wrote down the silver inventory and recorded a charge of $7.3 million in net earnings. The write-down consisted of $6.5 million included in operating expenses and $0.8 million included in depreciation and depletion.

Heap leach inventories of $30.2 million (December 31, 2013 – $31.0 million) are expected to be recovered after one year.

The Company capitalized interest of $8.2 million and $16.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (2013 – $4.2 million and $8.2 million) to qualifying development projects. The Company’s annualized capitalization rate is 6.53% (2013 – 6.53%).

Government grant receivable
The province of British Columbia provides an incentive for exploration in British Columbia as a refundable tax credit. The credit is based on 20% of qualifying exploration plus 10% additional credit if the exploration is carried out in a pine beetle area. This refundable tax credit is treated as government assistance and reduces the mineral property asset or is included within net earnings when receivable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company has a receivable of $21.1 million (2013 - $nil and $nil) with $20.3 million reducing the mineral property asset and $0.8 million included within net earnings.

Impairment
At December 31, 2013 an impairment charge of $272.5 million ($206.3 million after tax) was recognized primarily relating to assets at Cerro San Pedro.

(c) El Morro project funding loan
The Company owns a 30% interest in the Chilean company Sociedad Contractual Minera El Morro (“El Morro”) with Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) holding the remaining 70% interest.  El Morro is the operator of the El Morro project.

Goldcorp has agreed to fund 100% of the Company’s El Morro funding commitments until commencement of commercial production. These amounts, plus interest, will be repaid out of 80% of the Company’s distributions once the El Morro project is in production.

The interest rate on the Company’s share of the capital funded by Goldcorp is 4.58%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, non-cash investing activities were $4.2 million and $5.4 million (2013 – $1.8 million and $7.2 million) excluding accrued interest, and represent the Company’s share of contributions to the El Morro project funded by Goldcorp. The loan is secured against all rights and interests of the Company’s Chilean subsidiaries, including a pledge of the El Morro shares, limiting recourse to the Company’s investment in its Chilean subsidiaries.

(d) Revolving credit facility
On February 28, 2013, the Company extended its $150.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) for an additional 12 months to December 14, 2014. At the same time, certain terms of the Facility were amended, resulting in a reduction in pricing and increased flexibility with regard to shareholder distributions and the security underpinning the Facility. In addition, net debt, rather than total debt, will be used to calculate leverage for the purpose of covenant tests and pricing levels. The commitments from each member of the bank group remain the same and all other major aspects of the Facility remain unchanged.

The Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales and liens. Significant financial covenants are as follows:

   
June 30
December 31
 
Financial covenant
2014
2013
       
Minimum tangible net worth ($1.38 billion + 25% of positive quarterly net income)

Minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest)
>4.0:1.0
5.9 : 1
5.7 : 1
Maximum leverage ratio (net debt to EBITDA)
<3.0:1.0
1.3 : 1
1.3 : 1


 
11

 


 
The interest margin on drawings under the Facility ranges from 1.25% to 3.50% over LIBOR, the Prime Rate or the Base Rate, based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio and the currency and type of credit selected by the Company. The standby fees on undrawn amounts under the Facility range from 0.56% to 0.88%, depending on the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio. Based on the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio, the rate is 0.63% as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – 0.63%).

As at June 30, 2014, the Company has not drawn any funds under the Facility; however the Facility has been used to issue letters of credit of $18.8 million relating to environmental and reclamation requirements at Cerro San Pedro, A$10.3 million for Peak Mines’ reclamation bond for the State of New South Wales, C$9.5 million for New Afton’s reclamation requirements, C$3.2 million for New Afton’s commitment to B.C. Hydro for power and transmission construction work (the B.C. Hydro letter of credit will be released over time as New Afton consumes and pays for power in the early period of operations), C$2.7 million for Blackwater’s reclamation requirements, and $1.0 million relating to worker’s compensation security at Mesquite. The annual fees are 1.60% of the value of the outstanding letters of credit which totalled $43.9 million as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $43.1 million).

The Company intends to extend or replace the revolving credit facility prior to the expiry date of December 14th, 2014.

(b) Gold hedging contracts
On May 15, 2013, the Company eliminated its legacy gold hedges that were associated with the 2008 project financing put in place to develop the Mesquite Mine. The Company paid $65.7 million to fully close all hedges dated to December 2014. Hedge accounting with respect to these contracts was discontinued on May 15, 2013.

Prior to the discontinuance of hedge accounting, the net amount of existing gains (losses) arising from the unrealized fair value of the Company’s gold hedging contracts, which are derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges and are reported in other comprehensive income, would be reclassified to net earnings as contracts are settled on a monthly basis. The amount of such reclassification would be dependent upon fair values and amounts of the contracts settled.

At the closing date of the hedge, on May 15, 2013, the Company had unrecognized losses related to the gold hedging contracts of $46.3 million, which remained deferred in other reserves and is released to net earnings in the same period in which the original designated underlying forecast sales occur. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company transferred $6.9 million and $13.7 million of these losses to net earnings (2013 - $4.7 million and $4.7 million).

The fixed impact on net earnings of the close out of the gold hedging contracts will be a reclassification of the unrecognized losses to net earnings of $13.7 million during the remainder of 2014.

Effective April 1, 2013, the British Columbia corporate tax rate increased from 10% to 11%. This resulted in an increase to the statutory effective tax rate to 26.0% compared to 25.8% in the prior period.

The 2013 Mexican tax reform package was published in the “Official Gazette” on December 11, 2013 and took effect on January 1, 2014. The law requires taxpayers with mining concessions to pay a new 7.5% Special Mining Duty and in addition creates a new Extraordinary Mining Duty equal to 0.5% of gross revenues from the sale of gold, silver and platinum. Both the Extraordinary Mining Duty and Special Mining Duty are tax deductible for income tax purposes. As a result of the law being enacted in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a non-cash deferred tax expense of $nil and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (2013 - $nil and $nil). The Company will record the Special Mining Duty within the income tax expense section of the consolidated income statement as it is considered an income tax. The Extraordinary Mining Duty is considered a royalty, which does not impact the income tax expense, however is recorded in operating expenses.

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing the fair value of a particular contract, the market participant would consider the credit risk of the counterparty to the contract. Consequently, when it is appropriate to do so, the Company adjusts the valuation models to incorporate a measure of credit risk. Fair value represents management's estimates of the current market value at a given point in time.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified and measured as follows:

The Company has not offset financial assets with financial liabilities.

The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value. The investments and the gold contracts are presented at fair value at each reporting date using appropriate valuation methodology.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The following tables summarize information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position and categorized by level of significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 as during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Valuation methodologies for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities

Provisionally priced contracts and copper swap contracts
The fair value of the provisionally priced contracts and the copper swap contracts are calculated using the mark-to-market forward prices of London Metals Exchange gold and copper based on the applicable settlement dates of the outstanding provisionally priced contracts and copper swap contracts.  


 
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In assessing the loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. If the assessment of a contingency suggests that a loss is probable, and the amount can easily be estimated, then a loss is recorded. When a contingent loss is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reliably estimated, then details of the contingent loss are disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the Company discloses the nature of the guarantees. Legal fees incurred in connection with pending legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. If the Company is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

(a) The Company has entered into a number of contractual commitments for capital items related to operations and development. At June 30, 2014, these commitments totalled $195.3 million (December 31, 2013 – $44.5 million), $150.5 million of which are expected to fall due over the next 12 months.

(b) The Chilean Environmental Permitting Authority (“Servicio de Evaluacion Ambiental” or “SEA”), approved the El Morro project’s environmental permit in March 2011. However, a constitutional action was filed against the SEA in May 2011 by the Comunidad Agricola Los Huasco Altinos (“CAHA”) seeking annulment of the environmental permit. El Morro, the Chilean company jointly held by the Company and Goldcorp and which owns and operates the El Morro project, participated in the legal proceedings as an interested party and beneficiary of the environmental permit. In February 2012, the Court of Appeals of Antofagasta ruled against approval of the environmental permit, for the primary reason that the SEA had not adequately consulted or compensated the indigenous people that form the CAHA. SEA and El Morro appealed the ruling; however, the ruling was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Chile on April 27, 2012. Based on the Supreme Court’s decision, El Morro immediately suspended all project field work being executed under the terms of the environmental permit. On June 22, 2012, SEA initiated the administrative process to address the deficiencies identified by the Chilean Court and on October 22, 2013, El Morro’s environmental permit was reinstated. Certain local communities and groups filed constitutional actions challenging the reinstated permit, and on November 22, 2013 the Copiapo Court of Appeals granted an injunction suspending development of the El Morro project. On April 28, 2014, the Copiapo Court of Appeals rejected the constitutional actions and consequently the injunction was lifted. The decision of the Copiapo Court of Appeals was subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court of Chile. The decision is expected in the third quarter of 2014.

(c) In March 2011, the municipality of Cerro de San Pedro approved a new municipal land use plan, after public consultation, which clearly designates the area of the Cerro San Pedro Mine for mining. New Gold believes this plan resolves any ambiguity regarding the land use in the area in which Cerro San Pedro is located, and which has had a history of ongoing legal challenges related to the environmental authorization (“EIS”) for the Mine. In April 2011, a request was filed for a new EIS based on the new Municipal Plan and on August 5, 2011 a new EIS was granted.  The new EIS is subject to a number of ongoing conditions that will need to be fulfilled through the continued operation and eventual closure of the mine. In addition, some authorizations necessary for the operation of the Cerro San Pedro Mine have durations of one year or one quarter, or other periods that are shorter than the remaining mine life.  While historically these authorizations have been renewed, extended or re-issued without incident, in late 2013 the annual construction and operations licenses issued by the Municipality of Cerro de San Pedro in San Luis Potosì were subject to numerous inappropriate conditions. The application of the conditions was suspended by the State Contentious and Administrative Tribunal.  As of July 30, 2014, MSX remains in a dispute with the Municipality regarding certain conditions relating to the annual licenses. MSX may not ultimately prevail in court proceedings regarding the terms and conditions of such licenses.  This could result in a suspension or termination of operations at the Cerro San Pedro Mine and/or additional costs, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s production, cash flow and profitability.
