NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

(Amounts expressed in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)

1. Description of business and nature of operations

New Gold Inc. (“New Gold” or the “Company”) is an intermediate gold mining company engaged in the development and operation of mineral properties. The assets of the Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, are comprised of the New Afton Mine in Canada (“New Afton”), the Mesquite Mine in the United States (“Mesquite”), the Peak Mines in Australia (“Peak Mines”) and the Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico (“Cerro San Pedro”). Significant projects include the Rainy River (“Rainy River”) and Blackwater (“Blackwater”) projects, both in Canada.

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. Basis of preperation and 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, 2016.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 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, 2016, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 26th, 2017.

(b) Future changes in accounting policies

Revenue

On May 28, 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”). This standard outlines a single comprehensive model with prescriptive guidance for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with its customers. IFRS 15 uses a control based approach to recognize revenue which is a change from the risk and reward approach under the current standard. This standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. The effective date is for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of applying IFRS 15, primarily analyzing its concentrate sale agreements. The Company does not anticipate any changes in the gross amounts of the revenue recognized or a significant change in the timing of revenue recognition under the new standard.

7 | WWW.NEWGOLD.COM TSX:NGD NYSE MKT:NGD

Leases

On January 6, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”). This standard specifies the methodology to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases. The effective date is for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the effect of adoption of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements however, as mining at its Cerro San Pedro Mine ceased during 2016, the Company no longer holds significant operating leases on mining equipment and therefore the adoption of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

8 | WWW.NEWGOLD.COM TSX:NGD NYSE MKT:NGD

(c) Revisions to prior period comparatives

In the first quarter of 2017 the Company identified an immaterial error relating to depletion of its New Afton mining interest for the year ended December 31, 2016 resulting in a reduction in 2016 net earnings of $9.7 million.

The quarterly impact on the comparative condensed consolidated income statement is outlined in the table below. The resulting overstatement of the mining interests balance of $15.4 million, overstatement of deferred tax liability of $5.3 million, and understatement of inventories totaling $0.4 million as at December 31, 2016 has been revised in the comparative condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and the associated notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. There has been no change to the cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities in the comparative condensed consolidated statement of cash flow.

The 2020 Unsecured Notes are subject to a minimum interest coverage incurrence covenant of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment, and other non-cash adjustments to interest of 2:1. The test is applied on a pro-forma basis prior to the Company incurring additional debt, entering into business combinations or acquiring significant assets, or certain other corporate actions.

2020 and thereafter | 100.00%

(c) Revolving credit facility

The Company holds a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which expires on August 14, 2019.

Net debt is used to calculate leverage for the purpose of covenant tests and pricing levels. The Credit Facility contains various covenants customary for a loan facility of this nature, including limits on indebtedness, asset sales and liens. The Credit Facility contains two covenant tests, the minimum interest coverage ratio, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, exploration, impairment, and other non-cash adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to interest and the maximum leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA), both of which are measured on a rolling four-quarter basis at the end of every quarter.

During the quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 the maximum leverage ratio will be 4.5 : 1.0. For the following two quarters, ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the maximum leverage ratio will be 4.0 : 1.0. Following that period, the maximum leverage ratio will be 3.5 : 1.0.

Significant financial covenants are as follows:

| Twelve months ended March 31 | Twelve months ended December 31
| Financial covenant | 2017 | 2016
Financial covenants |  |  |
Minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest) | >3.0 : 1 | 5.7 : 1 | 5.7 : 1
Maximum leverage ratio (net debt to EBITDA) | <4.5 : 1 | 2.1 : 1 | 2.6 : 1

16 | WWW.NEWGOLD.COM TSX:NGD NYSE MKT:NGD

The interest margin on drawings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.00% to 3.25% over LIBOR, the Prime Rate or the Base Rate, based on the Company’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and the currency and type of credit selected by the Company. Based on the Company’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, the rate is 2.75% over LIBOR as at March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 – 3.25%). The standby fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility range from 0.45% to 0.73%, depending on the Company’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. Based on the Company’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, the rate is 0.62% as at March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 – 0.73%). As at March 31, 2017, the Company has drawn $100 million under the Credit Facility and the Credit Facility has been used to issue letters of credit of $123.1 million as at March 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016 - $122.1 million). Letters of credit relate to reclamation bonds, worker’s compensation security and other financial assurances required with various government agencies.

9. Gold stream obligation

In 2015 the Company entered into a $175 million streaming transaction with RGLD Gold AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. (“Royal Gold”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will deliver to Royal Gold 6.5% of gold production from the Rainy River project up to a total of 230,000 ounces of gold and then 3.25% of the project’s gold production thereafter. The Company will also deliver to Royal Gold 60% of the project’s silver production to a maximum of 3.1 million ounces and then 30% of silver production thereafter. Royal Gold paid $175.0 million in consideration of this transaction.

In addition to the upfront deposit, Royal Gold will pay 25% of the average spot gold or silver price at the time each ounce of gold or silver is delivered under the stream. The difference between the spot price of metal and the cash received from Royal Gold will reduce the $175.0 million deposit over the life of the mine. Upon expiry of the 40-year term of the agreement (which may be extended in certain circumstances), any balance of the $175.0 million upfront deposit remaining unpaid will be refunded to Royal Gold.

The gold stream obligation is accounted for as a financial liability under the scope of IFRS 9 (2013). Accordingly, the Company values the liability at the present value of its expected future cash outflows at each reporting period with changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The gold stream obligation contained a maximum leverage ratio covenant (net debt to EBITDA) of 3.5 : 1.0, with the exception that the net leverage covenant limit is permitted to be increased to 4.0 : 1.0 for two consecutive quarters, provided that it thereafter returns to a maximum of 3.5 : 1.0. Furthermore, the leverage ratio contained in the above agreement with Royal Gold has also been adjusted to match the revised maximum leverage ratio under the Credit Facility, up to December 31, 2017.

The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s gold streaming obligation:

(in millions of U.S. dollars) |
Change in Stream Obligation |
Balance, December 31, 2015 | 147.6
Fair value adjustments related to changes in the Company’s own credit risk(1) | 67.8

Fair value adjustments related to changes in the Company’s own credit risk(1) | (17.2)
Other fair value adjustments(2) | 3.0

| 1. | Fair value adjustments related to changes in the Company’s own credit risk are included in other comprehensive income.

| 2. | Other fair value adjustments are included in the consolidated income statements.

Fair value adjustments represent the net effect on the gold stream obligation of changes in the variables included in the Company’s valuation model between the date of receipt of deposit and the reporting date. These variables include loan accretion, risk-free interest rate, future metal prices, Company-specific credit spread and expected gold and silver ounces to be delivered.

Each period the Company reviews cost estimates and other assumptions used in the valuation of the obligations at each of its mining properties and development properties to reflect events, changes in circumstances and new information available. Changes in these cost estimates and assumptions have a corresponding impact on the fair value of the obligation. The fair values of the obligations are measured by discounting the expected cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the risk-free rate of interest. The Company prepares estimates of the timing and amount of expected cash flows when an obligation is incurred. Expected cash flows are updated to reflect changes in facts and circumstances. The principal factors that can cause expected cash flows to change are: the construction of new processing facilities; obligations realized through additional ore bodies mined; changes in the quantities of material in reserves and a corresponding change in the LOM; changing ore characteristics that impact required environmental protection measures and related costs; changes in water quality that impact the extent of water treatment required; and changes in laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The fair value of an obligation is recorded when it is incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company updated the reclamation and closure cost obligations for each of its mine sites. The impact of these assessments was an increase of $8.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2016 – $3.6 million), which primarily related to New Afton and the Rainy River project. New Afton’s increase of $4.0 million was a result of an acquisition of a historical tailings facility adjacent to the site, and a decrease in the discount rate. Key drivers of the Rainy River liability increase of $2.7 million include additional obligations related to the continued project advancement.

16. Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received when selling 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 has certain financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value. 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.

There were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 and 3 financial assets and liabilities:

Provisionally priced contracts and gold and copper swap contracts

The fair value of the provisionally priced contracts and the gold and copper swap contracts is 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.

Diesel swap contracts

The fair value of the diesel swap contracts is calculated using the Gulf Coast ULSD forward prices based on the applicable settlement dates of the contracts.

Gold option contracts and copper forward contracts

The fair value of the gold option contracts and copper forward contracts are calculated using the mark-to-market method based on fair value prices obtained from the counterparties of the gold option contracts and copper forward contracts.

Gold stream obligation

The fair value of the gold stream obligation is calculated using the risk-free interest rate derived from the fifteen-year U.S Treasury rate, forward metal prices, company specific credit spread based on the yield on the Company’s 2022 Senior Unsecured Notes, and expected gold and silver ounces to be delivered from the Rainy River project life of mine model.

Performance share units (PSU)

The fair value of the PSU liability is calculated using the quantity of base options subject to cash settlement, the weighted-average three-year achieved performance ratio (calculated using the annualized return of the Company’s share price compared to the annualized return of the S&P Global Gold Index) and the expected share price at the end of the vesting period based on analyst consensus on the future share price.
