DENISON MINES CORP.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

(Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. dollars except for shares and per share amounts)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Denison Mines Corp. and its subsidiary companies and joint ventures (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining and related activities, including acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing and selling of uranium. The environmental services division of the Company provides mine decommissioning and decommissioned site monitoring services for third parties.

The Company has a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake mill located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company also has interests in a number of development and exploration projects located in Canada, Mongolia and Zambia, some of which are operated through joint ventures and joint arrangements.

Denison Mines Inc. (“DMI”), a subsidiary of DMC, is the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8 ”) and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives various fees for management services and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.

Denison Mines Corp. (“DMC”) is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered head office is 595 Bay Street, Suite 402, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5G 2C2.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been 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. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company’s presentation currency is U.S. dollars.

These financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on August 9, 2012.

 

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Comparative Numbers

On June 29, 2012, the Company completed its previously announced transaction with Energy Fuels Inc. (“EFR”) to sell all of its mining assets and operations located in the United States (the “U.S. Mining Division”) and, in conjunction with the sale, reorganize the Company’s capital (see note 4). In accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, the Company has restated the presentation of its statement of comprehensive income to include only the Company’s continuing operations in the line item detail of the statement and to disclose the results of its U.S. Mining Division, net of tax, as a single line item amount.

 

4. DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

U.S. Mining Division Transaction and Denison Capital Reorganization

On April 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement to complete a transaction with EFR whereby EFR would acquire all of Denison’s mining assets and operations located in the United States (the “U.S. Mining Division”) from Denison in exchange for 425,441,494 common shares of EFR (the “EFR Share Consideration”). Immediately following the closing of the transaction, Denison would complete a Plan of Arrangement (the “Denison Arrangement”) whereby Denison would reorganize its capital and distribute the EFR Share Consideration to Denison shareholders on a pro rata basis as a return of capital in the course of that reorganization. On June 29, 2012, the Company completed the transaction and the capital reorganization.

 

- 6 -


In accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 17, Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners (“IFRIC 17”), the Company was required to fair value the assets being distributed to shareholders, which in this case, was the U.S. Mining Division via the EFR Share Consideration being distributed.

Immediately prior to the sale, the Company tested the U.S. Mining Division for impairment using the fair value of the EFR Share Consideration as the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount was determined to be $79,395,000 based on 425,441,494 common shares of EFR to be received and distributed to the Company’s shareholders, a share price of CAD$0.19 per share and a CAD$ to USD$ foreign exchange rate of 0.9822.

In performing the impairment test, the Company concluded that the recoverable amount of the U.S. Mining Division was lower than the carrying value. As a result, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of $97,944,000 in the six month period ending June 30, 2012 which has been allocated on a pro rata basis between plant and equipment and mineral property assets in the U.S. Mining Division’s results.

The details of the net assets of the U.S. Mining Division sold to EFR on June 29, 2012 are as follows:

The fair value of the EFR share consideration has been accounted for as a non-cash distribution of assets to shareholders and has been recorded as a component of Deficit in the statement of financial position.

As a result of the transaction, the Company has presented the results of the U.S. Mining Division as discontinued operations and, in accordance with IFRS 5, has revised its statement of comprehensive income (loss) to reflect this change in presentation. The condensed consolidated statements of financial position and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have not been revised. A summary of the impact of the discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is presented below.

U.S. Mill and Mine Reclamation

The Company had cash, cash equivalents and fixed income securities as collateral for various bonds posted in favour of the State of Utah, the applicable state regulatory agencies in Colorado and Arizona and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for estimated reclamation costs associated with its formerly owned White Mesa mill and U.S. mining properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company deposited $nil into its collateral account. The Company has divested these assets as part of its U.S. Mining Division transaction with EFR (see note 4).

Elliot Lake Reclamation Trust Fund

The Company has the obligation to maintain its decommissioned Elliot Lake uranium mine pursuant to a Reclamation Funding Agreement effective December 21, 1995 (“Agreement”) with the Governments of Canada and Ontario. The Agreement, as further amended in February 1999, requires the Company to maintain funds in the Reclamation Trust Fund equal to estimated reclamation spending for the succeeding six calendar years, less interest expected to accrue on the funds during the period. Withdrawals from this Reclamation Trust Fund can only be made with the approval of the Governments of Canada and Ontario to fund Elliot Lake monitoring and site restoration costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company deposited an additional $731,000 (CAD$732,000) into the Elliot Lake Reclamation Trust Fund and withdrew $231,000 (CAD$232,000).

Plant and Equipment-Mining

The Company had a 100% interest in the White Mesa mill located in Utah and mines located in Arizona, Colorado and Utah. The Company has divested these assets as part of its U.S. Mining Division transaction with EFR (see note 4).

The Company has a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake mill and mines located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. The mill is currently on stand-by and is scheduled to remain so into 2013. A toll milling agreement has been signed with the participants in the Cigar Lake joint venture that provides for the processing of the future output of the Cigar Lake mine at the McClean Lake mill, for which the owners of the McClean Lake mill will receive a toll milling fee and other benefits. In determining the amortization rate for the McClean Lake mill, the amount to be amortized has been adjusted to reflect Denison’s expected share of future toll milling mill feed.

Plant and Equipment—Services and Other

The environmental services division of the Company provides mine decommissioning and decommissioned site monitoring services for third parties.

Mineral Properties

The Company has various interests in development and exploration projects located in Canada, Mongolia and Zambia which are held directly or through option or joint venture agreements. Amounts spent on development projects are capitalized as mineral property assets. Exploration projects are expensed.

The most significant of the Company’s mineral property interests are as follows:

Canada

The Company has a 22.5% interest in the McClean Lake project and a 25.17% interest in the Midwest project located in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. These projects are in the development stage.

 

- 11 -


Other significant mineral property interests that the Company has in Canada, also located in the Athabasca Basin, but which are not yet in the development stage include:

 

  a) Wheeler River – the Company has a 60% interest in the project;

 

  b) Moore Lake – the Company has a 75% interest in the project subject to a 2.5% net smelter return royalty;

 

  c) Wolly – the Company has a 22.5% interest in the project; and

 

  d) Park Creek – the Company has entered into an option agreement to earn up to a 75% interest in the project. Under the option, the Company is required to incur exploration expenditures of CAD$2,800,000 on or before December 31, 2008 to earn an initial 49% interest and a further CAD$3,350,000 on or before December 31, 2017 to earn an additional 26% interest. As at June 30, 2012, the Company has incurred a total of CAD$4,219,000 towards the option and has earned a 49% ownership interest in the project under the phase-in ownership provisions of the agreement.

United States

The Company had 100% interests in various mines in the Colorado Plateau, Arizona Strip, Henry Mountain and White Canyon mining districts located in Colorado, Arizona and Utah. The Company has divested these assets as part of its U.S. Mining Division transaction with EFR (see note 4).

Mongolia

The Company currently has an 85% interest (70% interest at December 31, 2011) in and is the managing partner of the Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture company (“GSJV”) in Mongolia. The other party to the GSJV is the Mongolian government with a 15% interest. The results of the GSJV have been 100% consolidated in these financial statements since the Company exercises control and its partner in the GSJV has a carried interest at this time.

Under the Nuclear Energy Law of Mongolia, the Mongolian participant in the GSJV is entitled to hold a 34% to 51% interest in the GSJV, depending on the amount of historic exploration that was funded by the government of Mongolia, to be acquired at no cost to the Mongolian participant. This interest will be held by Mon-Atom LLC, the Mongolian state owned uranium company.

The Company and Mon-Atom are proceeding with restructuring the GSJV to meet the requirements of the Nuclear Energy law, pending government reviews and authorizations. In March 2012, the Company acquired the interest of Geologorazvedka, a Russian entity which held 15%, for cash consideration of $742,000, including transaction fees, and the release of the Russian entity’s share of unfunded joint venture obligations. This additional interest is expected to be transferred to Mon-Atom as part of the restructuring plan and the payment of $742,000 has been expensed and included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations (see note 19).

The final restructuring of the GSJV is expected to result in the Company having its interest reduced to 66%. It is anticipated that the restructuring will be completed in 2012.

Zambia

The Company has a 100% interest in the Mutanga project located in Zambia.

Site Restoration: U.S. Mill and Mines

The decommissioning and reclamation of the White Mesa mill and U.S. mines are subject to legal and regulatory requirements. Estimates of the costs of reclamation are reviewed periodically by the applicable regulatory authorities. The above accrual represents the Company’s best estimate of the present value of future reclamation costs, discounted at rates ranging from 4.98% to 5.67%. As at December 31, 2011, the undiscounted amount of estimated future reclamation costs is $23,082,000. Reclamation costs are expected to be incurred between 2012 and 2040. The Company has divested these liabilities as part of its U.S. Mining Division transaction with EFR (see note 4).

Site Restoration: Elliot Lake

The Elliot Lake uranium mine was closed in 1992 and capital works to decommission this site were completed in 1997. The remaining provision is for the estimated cost of monitoring the Tailings Management Areas at the Company and Stanrock sites and for treatment of water discharged from these areas. The Company conducts its activities at both sites pursuant to decommissioning licenses issued by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. The above accrual represents the Company’s best estimate of the present value of the total future reclamation cost based on assumptions as to levels of treatment, which will be required in the future, discounted at 5.41%. As at December 31, 2011, the undiscounted amount of estimated future reclamation costs is $26,990,000 (CAD$27,448,000).

Spending on restoration activities at the Elliot Lake site is funded from monies in the Elliot Lake Reclamation Trust fund (see note 9).

17. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) provides for the granting of stock options up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant, subject to a maximum of 20 million common shares. As at June 30, 2012, an aggregate of 15,223,200 options have been granted (less cancellations) since the Plan’s inception in 1997.

Under the Plan, all stock options are granted at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, including any vesting provisions if applicable. The term of any stock option granted may not exceed ten years and the exercise price may not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. In general, stock options granted under the Plan have five year terms and vesting periods up to thirty months.

Options outstanding at June 30, 2012 expire between August 2012 and March 2017.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table outlines the range of assumptions used in the model to determine the fair value of options granted:

 

     Six Months Ended

Risk-free interest rate

     1.39

Expected stock price volatility

     92.8

Expected life

     3.7 years

Included in the statement of income (loss) is stock-based compensation of $529,000 and $1,150,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $1,041,000 and $1,648,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011.

The fair values of stock options with vesting provisions are amortized on a straight-line graded method basis as stock-based compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. At June 30, 2012, the Company had an additional $1,829,000 in stock-based compensation expense to be recognized periodically to March 2014.

Revenue Concentration

Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”)

In June 2009, Denison completed definitive agreements with KEPCO. The agreements included a long-term offtake agreement which provides for the delivery to KEPCO of 20% of Denison’s annual U3O8 production (±10%) but not less than 350,000 pounds (±10%) per year from 2010 to 2015 inclusive. This long-term offtake agreement has been assigned to EFR as part of the U.S. Mining Division transaction (see note 4). KEPCO also purchased 58,000,000 common shares of Denison representing approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding capital as at June 2009. Pursuant to a strategic relationship agreement, KEPCO is entitled to subscribe for additional common shares in Denison’s future share offerings and require Denison to nominate two persons designated by KEPCO to Denison’s board of directors if KEPCO holds at least a 15% share interest in Denison (or one director if KEPCO’s share interest is between 5% and 15%).

Under the strategic relationship agreement, two representatives from KEPCO have been appointed to Denison’s board of directors.

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General Legal Matters

The Company is involved, from time to time, in various legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate amount of any potential liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results.

Third Party Indemnities

The Company has agreed to indemnify Calfrac Well Services against any future liabilities it may incur related to the assets or liabilities transferred to the Company on March 8, 2004.

The Company remains a guarantor under a sales contract included in the sale of the U.S. Mining Division to EFR. The sales contract requires deliveries of 200,000 pounds of U3O8 per year from 2013 to 2017 at a selling price of 95% of the long-term U3O8 price at the time of delivery. Should EFR not be able to deliver for any reason other than “force majeure” as defined under the contract, the Company may be liable to the customer for incremental costs incurred to replace the contracted quantities if the unit price of the replacement quantity is greater than the contracted unit price selling amount. EFR has indemnified the Company for any future liabilities it may incur related to this guarantee.
