These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2019 (Note 3). The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

On November 12, 2019, 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 (“$” or “US$” or “US dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. Reference 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 29) at the end of each reporting period.

3.Significant Accounting Policies and Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

a)  IFRS 16 Leases

 

The Company adopted IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019. The following is the new accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16.

 

At inception, the Company assesses whether a contract contains an embedded lease. A contract contains a lease when the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 

The Company, as lessee, is required to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”), representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company may elect to not apply IFRS 16 to leases with a term of less than 12 months or to low value assets, which is made on an asset by asset basis.

 

The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the commencement of the lease. The ROU asset is initially measured based on the present value of lease payments, plus initial direct cost, less any incentives received. It is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The ROU asset is depreciated from the commencement date over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator of impairment.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the operation would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:

 

·fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
·variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
·amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
·the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise;
·lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option; and
·penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

 

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

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

 

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate not included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they are incurred.

 

The ROU assets are presented within “Plant and equipment” and the lease liabilities are presented in “Lease obligations” on the balance sheet.

 

b) Adoption of IFRS 16 Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. The comparative figures for the 2018 reporting period have not been restated and are accounted for under IAS 17, Leases, and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard.

 

The Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

 

·Applied the exemption not to recognize right of use asset and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term;
·Excluded initial direct cost from measuring the right of use asset at the date of initial application; and
·Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains an option to extend or terminate the lease.

 

At transition to IFRS 16, for those leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, the lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using each operation’s applicable incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. As a result, the Company, as a lessee, has recognized $7,316 within Lease Obligations representing its obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets of the same amount were recognized within Plant and Equipment, representing its right to use the underlying assets. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 5.32%.

 

The Company leases various equipment that had previously been classified as finance leases under IAS 17. For these finance leases, the carrying amount of the ROU asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

 

The following table summarizes the difference between operating lease commitments disclosed immediately preceding the date of initial application and lease liabilities recognized on the balance sheet at the date of initial application:

 

Operating lease obligations as at December 31, 2018  $2,553 
Leases with lease term of 12 months or less and low value assets   (825)
Embedded leases identified in existing service contracts   6,162 
Effect of discounting at incremental borrowing rate   (574)
Lease liabilities recognized as at January 1, 2019   7,316 
Lease liabilities from finance leases previously recorded in lease obligations   8,767 
Total lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019   16,083 
Less current portion   (6,120)
Non-current portion  $9,963

c) Adoption of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

 

This interpretation sets out how to determine the accounting for a tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its interim financial statements.

  

4.Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements

 

The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions 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 estimates, assumptions and judgements are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

 

The impact of such estimates, assumptions and judgements 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, 2019, the Company applied the critical estimates, assumptions and judgements as disclosed in note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the new significant estimates, assumptions and judgements related to lessee accounting under IFRS 16, which are described below.

 

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management on adoption of IFRS 16 Leases primarily included judgement about whether the lease conveys the right to use a specific asset, whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset, evaluating the appropriate discount rate to use to discount the lease liability for each lease or groups of assets, and to determine the lease term where a contract includes renewal options. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments over these factors would affect the present value of the lease liabilities, as well as the associated amount of the ROU asset.

29.Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell 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.

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

 

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 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.

31.Contingencies and Capital Commitments

 

(a)Caylloma Letter of Guarantee

Pursuant to the closure regulations, the Company is required to provide the following guarantees with the government:

·2020 – $9,704

 

The Company has established a bank letter of guarantee in the amount of $7,237 on behalf of Bateas in favor of the Peruvian mining regulatory agency, in compliance with local regulation and to collateralize Bateas’ mine closure plan. This bank letter of guarantee expires on December 31, 2019.

(c)Other Commitments

 

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had capital commitments of $33,499, $160 and $128 for civil work, equipment purchases and other services at the Lindero Project and the Caylloma and San Jose Mines, respectively, expected to be expended within one year.

 

(d)Tax Contingencies

 

Peru

 

The Company has been assessed $1,284 (4,343 Peruvian Soles), including interest and penalties of $710 (S. 2,405 Peruvian Soles), for the tax year 2010 by SUNAT, the Peruvian tax authority, with respect to the deduction of certain losses arising from derivative instruments. The Company applied to the Peruvian tax court to appeal the assessments.

 

On January 22, 2019, the Peruvian tax court reaffirmed SUNAT’s position and denied the deduction. The Company believes the assessment is inconsistent with Peruvian tax law and that it is probable the Company will succeed on appeal through the Peruvian legal system. The Company has paid the disputed amount in full and has initiated proceedings through the Peruvian legal system to appeal the decision of the Peruvian tax court.

 

The Company has the amount paid of $1,284 (4,343 Peruvian Soles) in long-term receivables and other as at September 30, 2019, as the Company believes it is probable that the appeal will be successful (note 12).

 

(e)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 the Mexican mining authorities that it is of the view that no royalty is payable and has taken administrative and legal proceedings to remove reference to the royalty on the title register. The proceedings are progressing in accordance with the procedures of the Mexican administrative court. In the event that the royalty is payable, the amount payable from the Company’s capital resources would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ongoing ability to operate.

 

(f)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.

32.Subsequent events

 

On October 2, 2019, the Company completed a bought deal public offering (the “Offering”) of senior subordinated unsecured convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $40,000. The Offering was subject to an over-allotment option which was exercised in full on October 8, 2019, pursuant to which an additional $6,000 aggregate principal amount of debentures were issued, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company under the Offering to $46,000. The debentures issued under the Offering including those issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option are collectively referred as the “Debentures”.

 

The Debentures mature on October 31, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 4.65% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on the last business day of April and October, commencing on April 30, 2020. The Debentures are convertible at the holder’s option into common shares in the capital of the Company at a conversion price of $5.00 per share, representing a conversion rate of 200 Common Shares per $1 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

 

Subject to certain exceptions in connection with a change of control of the Company, the Debentures will not be redeemable by the Company prior to October 31, 2022. On or after October 31, 2022 and prior to October 31, 2023, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the Company’s option at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the NYSE for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which the notice of the redemption is given is at least 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after October 31, 2023, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the Company’s option at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest regardless of the trading price of the Common Shares.

 

Subject to applicable securities laws and regulatory approval and provided that no event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debentures and accrued and unpaid interest on the redemption date and the maturity date, in whole or in part, through the issuance of Common Shares, by issuing and delivering that number of Common Shares, obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon by 95% of the current market price (as defined in the Debenture Indenture) on such redemption date or maturity date, as applicable.
