The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 650, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, Canada, V6C 3L6.





2. Basis of Presentation



Statement of Compliance



These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 -Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which includes information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.



The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2018 (Note 3). The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not effective yet.



On November 7, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved these interim financial statements for issuance.



Presentation and Functional Currency



These interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“$” or "US$"), which is the functional currency of the Company. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars, unless otherwise stated.



Basis of Measurement



These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 25).





3. Significant Accounting Policies and Changes to Accounting Policies



IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers



The Company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) as of January 1, 2018. The Company elected to apply IFRS 15 using a modified retroactive approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially adopting this standard at the date of initial recognition. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 Revenue (“IAS 18”). The Company has concluded that there was no cumulative effect adjustment required to be recognized at January 1, 2018. The details of the accounting policy changes and the quantitative impact of these changes are described below.

Concentrate Sales:



The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers related to its concentrate sales. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when a customer obtains control of the concentrate and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price, which is the amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transferring of the concentrates. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price.



The Company satisfies its performance obligations for its concentrate sales based upon specified contract terms which are generally upon delivery to the customer at a specified warehouse or upon loading of the concentrate onto a vessel. The Company typically receives payment within one to four weeks of delivery. 



Revenue from concentrate sales is recorded based upon forward market price of the expected final sales price date. IFRS 15 does not consider provisional price adjustments associated with concentrate sales to be revenue from contracts with customers as they arise from changes in market pricing for silver, gold, lead and zinc between the delivery date and settlement date. As such, the provisional price adjustments are accounted for as derivatives and presented separately in Note 21 of these financial statements.



The Company has concluded that there were no significant changes in the accounting for concentrate sales as a result of the transition to IFRS 15, as the timing of control of the concentrate passing to the customer and the treatment of provisional pricing adjustments are unchanged from policies applied prior to the adoption of IFRS 15.



IFRS 9 Financial Instruments



The Company has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods were not restated and no material changes resulted from adopting this new standard. IFRS 9 introduced a revised model for classification and measurement, and while this has resulted in several financial instrument classification changes, as presented in Note 25, there were no quantitative impacts from adoption.



The details of accounting policy changes as  a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 are described below:



(a) Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities



IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories for financial assets: held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale.



Under IFRS 9, a financial asset is measured as either:  amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).  All non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated, and instead the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.



A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

·

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

·

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.



A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

·

it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

·

its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.



On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income (OCI). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.

(Unaudited - Presented in thousands of US dollars – unless otherwise noted)

 



The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets: 



·

Financial assets at FVTPL - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

·

Financial assets at amortized cost  - These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

·

Equity investments at FVOCI - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the equity investment are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.



Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the Company made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of its investments in marketable securities, which is substantially consistent with the accounting treatment prior to adoption. These financial assets are classified as FVOCI.



The original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 are summarized in the following table:

(b) Impairment of financial assets



IFRS 9 introduces a new three-stage expected credit loss model for calculating impairment for financial assets. IFRS 9 no longer requires a triggering event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. An entity is required to recognize expected credit losses when financial instruments are initially recognized and to update the amount of expected credit losses recognized at each reporting date to reflect changes in the credit risk of the financial instruments. In addition, IFRS 9 requires additional disclosure requirements about expected credit losses and credit risk. 



For our trade receivables, we apply the simplified approach for determining expected credit losses which requires us to determine the lifetime expected losses for all our trade receivables. The expected lifetime credit loss provision for our trade receivables is based on historical counterparty default rates and adjusted for relevant forward-looking information, when required. We did not record an adjustment relating to the implementation of the expected credit loss model for our trade receivables.



(c) Hedge accounting



The Company has elected to adopt the new general hedge accounting model in IFRS 9. This requires the Company to ensure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with its risk management objectives and strategy and to apply a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing hedge effectiveness.

The Company has established a strategy, in accordance with its current risk management policies, to use interest rate swaps to hedge against the variability in cash flows arising from changes in USD LIBOR based floating interest rate borrowing relating to its credit facility.  



As per IFRS 9, hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39, that also qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 (after taking into account any rebalancing of the hedging relationship on transition), are regarded as continuing hedging relationships. Hence, the original hedge relationship continues from the trade inception date of the interest rate swap to the maturity date of the interest rate swap associated with the hedged exposure, unless the hedging relationship is required to be terminated earlier.



Management qualitatively assess that the changes in value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item will move in opposite directions and will be perfectly offset. As both counterparties to the derivative are investment grade, the effect of credit risk is considered as neither material nor dominant in the economic relationship. The hedge was highly effective at transition date under IFRS 9.  The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective will be recognized directly in other comprehensive income while the amount that is determined to be ineffective, if any, will be recorded in the profit or loss during the life of the hedging relationship.



New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Effective



In 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items.



The Company assembled an implementation team to assess the impact of the leases standard. The implementation team has developed its project plan, education sessions have been completed and the process has begun to gather more information with respect to the population of contracts that will need to be assessed in light of the new standard. The Company will continue to assess the effect of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements and have a quantitative estimation of the effect of the adoption of the standard on the Company’s financial statements by the end of 2018.



The new standard is likely to result in increases to both the asset and liability positions of the Company, as well as affect the reported depreciation expense, finance costs and cost of sales in the Company’s income statement.



Comparative figures



Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.





4. Use of Judgements and Estimates



The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.



The impacts of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.



In preparing these interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company applied the critical judgements and estimates as disclosed in note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

As at September 30, 2018, the Company has a  zero cost collar for 600 tonnes of lead with a floor price of $2,300 per tonne and a cap price of $2,689 per tonne, maturing in October 2018, a  zero cost collar for 650 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of  $2,700 per tonne and a cap price of $3,394 per tonne maturing in October 2018, and zero cost collars for an aggregate of 6,000 tonnes of zinc with a floor price of $3,050 per tonne and a cap price of $3,300 per tonne maturing between November 2018 and June 2019.



The zinc and lead contracts are derivative financial instruments and are not accounted for as designated hedges. They were initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the related derivative contracts were entered into and are subsequently re-measured to estimated fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are credited or charged to profit or loss.

(b)

Interest rate swap



In January 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap ("Swap") for a term of four years in connection with the amended credit facility (Note 16) to hedge the variable interest rate risk on the Company’s credit facility. The fixed interest rate on the Swap is 2.61% and the floating amount is based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The Swap is settled on a monthly basis, with settlement being the net difference between the fixed and floating interest rates. The Swap has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes.



During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $229 and $409  (three and nine months ended September 30, 2017  – gains of $55 and $235), related to changes in the fair value of the swaps through other comprehensive income.  The Swap was determined to be an effective hedge for the period ended September 30, 2018.

16. Credit Facility



On January 26, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated four-year term credit facility with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Amended Credit Facility”).  The Amended Credit Facility consists of a $40,000 non-revolving credit facility, which has been fully drawn and an $80,000 revolving credit facility, which has not been drawn.  The interest rate on the Amended Credit Facility is on a  sliding scale at one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.5% to 3.5%, based on a Total Debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by a first ranking lien on the assets of Minera Bateas S.A.C. ("Bateas"),  Compania Minera Cuzcatlan S.A. de C.V. ("Cuzcatlan"), Mansfield Minera S.A. ("Mansfield") and their holding companies. The Company must comply with the terms in the Amended Credit Facility relating to, among other matters, reporting requirements, conduct of business, insurance, notices, and must comply with certain financial covenants, including a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, each as defined in the Amended Credit Facility.  The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants as at September 30, 2018.



The amendment to the credit facility was accounted for as a modification under IFRS 9 and a loss of $465 was recognized in finance cost in the consolidated income statement.

Capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30,  2018 were $33,034 and $65,598, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 - $15,844 and  $39,038 respectively).





25. Fair Value Measurements



Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. 



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 (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated 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 sets up the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments.



 



Financial asset or liability

 

Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value

Trade receivables

Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of a quotational period.  We mark these to market at each reporting date based on the forward price corresponding to the expected settlement date.

Interest rate swaps, and metal contracts

Fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates.  These are discounted using a yield curve, and adjusted for credit risk of the Company or the counterparty.

Marketable securities warrants

The Company determines the value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model which uses a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, such as volatility and interest rate estimates. Fair value changes on the warrants are charged to profit and loss.



During the period ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, there were no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.  Fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is not presented if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

(c) Tax contingencies



Peru



The Company has been assessed $1,750 by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, including interest and penalties of $573, for the tax years 2010 and 2011. The Company is appealing these assessments and has provided a guarantee by way of a letter bond in the amount of $820.  



No amounts have been accrued as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 with respect to these tax assessments as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company’s appeal will be successful.



(d) SGM Royalty



The Mexican Geological Service (“SGM”) has advised the Company that in 1993 the previous owner of one of the Company’s mineral concessions located at the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico granted SGM a royalty of 3% of the billing value of minerals obtained from the concession. The Company was unaware of the existence of the royalty since it does not appear on the electronic title register (although it is listed in the official record books of the concessions of the Mining Registry, it was not disclosed to the Company by the prior owner at the time of sale, nor was it noted in any of the multiple legal title opinions obtained by the Company at the time of and since it acquired the concession. The Company has engaged three independent Mexican law firms and has obtained legal opinions from all three firms which confirm that there was no legal basis for the creation of the royalty and that it was invalidly created. All opinions confirm that it is more likely than not that the Company’s position will succeed in the event of a dispute. The Company has advised SGM that it is of the view that no royalty is payable and has taken administrative steps to remove reference to the royalty on the title register. No action has been started by the mining authority. In the event of a dispute, the Company would be required to pay the then claimed amount of the royalty to preserve the concession and would thereafter proceed with dispute proceedings. The amount of the royalty, if payable is materially less than cash and cash equivalents on hand and would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations



 (e) Other contingencies



The Company is subject to various investigations, royalties and other claims, legal, labor, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial conditions of the Company.
