1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Silvercorp Metals Inc., along with its subsidiary companies (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of precious and base metal mineral properties. The Company’s producing mines are in China, with current exploration and development projects in China and Canada.

The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

The head office, registered address and records office of the Company are located at 200 Granville Street, Suite 1378, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1S4.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors dated on August 2, 2011. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2012.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of Compliance

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) require companies that adopt IFRS to make an explicit and unreserved statement in their first annual IFRS financial statements of compliance with IFRS. The Company will make this statement when it issues its financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2012.

Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the Company’s initial presentation of its results and financial position under IFRS and as such were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS (“IFRS 1”). The disclosures of the elected transition exemptions, reconciliation and explanation of accounting policy compared to Canadian GAAP have been provided in Note 22 to these financial statements. The policies applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and effective as at the date the Board of Directors approved these financial statements for issue. Any subsequent changes to IFRS could result in a restatement of these financial statements, including the transition adjustments recognized on conversion to IFRS.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011, which were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, and have been restated in the IFRS disclosures included in Note 22.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries, the most significant of which are presented in the following table:

    Ownership    
Subsidiary Location interest Status Property
Henan Found Mining Co. Ltd. China 77.5% Consolidated Ying, TLP
(“Henan Found”)        
Henan Huawei Mining Co. Ltd. China 80% Consolidated HPG, LM
(“Henan Huawei”)        
Guangdong Found Mining Co. Ltd. China 95% Consolidated GC
(“Guangdong Found”)        
Xinshao Yunxiang Mining Co. Ltd. China 70% Consolidated BYP
(“Yunxiang”)        
0875786 B.C. Ltd. Canada 100% Consolidated Silvertip

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control. For non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Net income for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary.

Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

(c) Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is not a subsidiary or joint venture. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company has power to be actively involved and influential in financial and operating policy decisions of the associate.

The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of profit and loss of the associate and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company’s share of comprehensive income or losses of associates are recognized in comprehensive income during the period. Distributions received from an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired. When there is objective evidence that an investment in an associate is impaired, the carrying amount is compared to its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and value in use. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in net income in the period it occurs.

(d) Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for each subsidiary of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of all Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency non-monetary assets are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). The financial position and results of the Company’s entities are translated from functional currencies to USD as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date;

  • income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the period; and

  • all resulting exchange gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income.

The Company treats inter-company loan balances, which are not intended to be repaid in the foreseeable future, as part of its net investment. When a foreign entity is disposed and exchange differences arise, such differences are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(f) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, the sale price can be measured reliably, the Company has no significant continuing involvement and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

These conditions are generally satisfied when the title is passed to the customer. The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets. Under the Company’s concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters, final commodity prices are set on a specified quotation period, typically ranging from ten to fifteen days around shipment date.

(g)Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original terms of three months or less.

(h) Short-term Investments

Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and money market instruments, including cashable guaranteed investment certificates, bearer deposit notes and commercial paper with original terms of three months or more, but less than one year.

(i) Inventories

Inventories include metals contained in concentrates, direct smelting ore, stockpile ore and operating materials and supplies. The classification of metals inventory is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Inventories of ore are sampled for metal content and are valued based on the lower of actual production costs incurred or estimated net realizable value based on the period ending prices of contained metals. Mined materials that do not contain a minimum quantity of metal needed to compensate the estimated processing expenses for recovery of the contained metal, are not classified as inventory and are assigned no value.

Direct smelting ore and stockpiled ore are valued at the lower of mining cost and net realizable value. Mining cost includes the cost of raw material, mining contractor cost, direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Concentrate inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of concentrate inventories includes the mining cost for stockpiled ore milled, freight charges for shipping stockpile ore from mine sites to mill sites and milling cost. Milling cost includes cost of materials and supplies, direct labour costs, and applicable production overheads cost, based on normal operating capacity. Material and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales.

(j) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost, including all directly attributable costs to bring the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and applicable impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based on the nature and useful lives of the assets. The significant classes of plant and equipment and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Building 20 years
Office equipment and furniture 5 years
Machinery and equipment 5-10 years
Motor vehicle 5 years
Land use right 50 years
Leasehold improvement 5 years

Subsequent costs that meet the asset recognition criteria are capitalized while costs incurred that do not extend the economic useful life of an asset are considered repairs and maintenance, which are accounted for as an expense recognized during the period.

Assets under construction are capitalized as construction-in-progress. The cost of construction-in-progress comprises its purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing it into working condition for its intended use. Construction-in-progress assets are not depreciated until they are completed and available for use.

(k) Mineral Rights and Properties

The cost of acquiring mineral rights and properties either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination is capitalized and represents the property’s fair value at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined by estimating the value of the property’s reserves, resources and exploration potential.

Exploration and evaluation costs, incurred associated with specific mineral rights and properties prior to demonstrable technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource, are capitalized. Upon determination that a mineral property can be economically developed, which occurs at the earlier of: completion of positive economic analysis of the mineral deposit by establishing proven and probable reserves; or obtaining a mining permit, the subsequent development costs incurred such as to further delineate the ore body and costs incurred during production to increase output by providing access to additional sources of mineral resources, are also capitalized.

Upon commencement of commercial production, mineral rights and properties and capitalized expenditures are depleted over the mine’s estimated life using the units of production method calculated based on proven and probable reserves. If commercial production commences prior to the determination of proven and probable reserves, depletion is calculated based on the mineable portion of measured and indicated resources.

(l) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including mineral rights and properties, plant and equipment are reviewed and tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are considered to exist. Impairment assessments are conducted at the level of cash-generating units (“CGU”), which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of carrying amount of a CGU over its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For mineral rights and properties and processing facilities, the recoverable amount is estimated as the discounted future net cash flows expected to be derived from expected future production, metal prices, and net proceeds from the disposition of assets on retirement, less operating and capital costs. Impairment losses are recognized in the period they are incurred.

Impairment losses are reversed if the conditions that gave rise to the impairment are no longer present and it has been determined that the asset is no longer impaired as a result. This reversal is recognized in net income in the period the reversal occurs limited by the carrying value that would have been determined, net of any depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognized in prior years.

(m) Rehabilitation Provision

The Company recognizes rehabilitation provision for statutory, contractual, constructive or other legal obligations relating to site reclamation and restoration costs that will incur on the retirement of assets and abandonment of mine and exploration sites. Provisions for the cost of each mine site’s rehabilitation program are normally recognized at the time that an environmental disturbance occurs or a constructive obligation is determined.

Costs included in the provision were estimated for all rehabilitation activities expected to occur progressively over the life of the operation and at the time of mine site closure. The estimated costs also have risks and probabilities of alternative estimates of cash flows required to settle the obligations taken into consideration.

The timing of the actual rehabilitation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors such as the life of operation, nature of the asset, and the operating license conditions.

Rehabilitation provisions are measured at the expected value of future cash flows excluding the effect of inflation. The future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a current Chinese government bond real risk-free pre-tax interest rate. Provisions are updated at the end of each reporting period using the most current discount rate and exchange rate.

When rehabilitation provisions are initially recognized, the corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset in mineral rights and properties and depreciated over the life of the operation to which it relates. When there is a change in estimate of the cost associated, provisions will be updated with the respective changes to the related asset. The accretion expense, representing the amortization of the discount, is included in finance costs and results in an increase in the amount of the provision.

(n) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The Company capitalizes borrowing costs for all eligible assets where construction commenced on or after April 1, 2010.

(o) Stock-based Payments

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees, officers, directors, and consultants using the fair value method. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is expensed over the vesting periods of the stock options with a corresponding increase to equity. The fair value of options granted to employees, officers, and directors is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market related inputs as of the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted to consultants is measured at the fair value of the services delivered unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, which then is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vest periods and fair values. Forfeitures are accounted for using estimates based on historical actual forfeiture data. Stock-based compensation expense related to exploration is capitalized in mineral rights and properties.

Upon the exercise of the stock option, consideration received and the related amount transferred from contributed surplus are recorded as share capital.

(p) Income Taxes

Current tax for each taxable entity is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect to previous periods.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, can be utilized, except:

  • where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is

12



SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreeeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(q) Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if additional common shares are assumed to be issued under securities that entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. For stock options and warrants, the number of additional shares for inclusion in diluted earnings per share calculations is determined by the treasury stock method. Under this method, derivatives, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of our common shares, are assumed to be exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The incremental number of common shares issued under stock options, and repurchased from proceeds, is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

(r) Financial Instruments

On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), of which transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on the classification of such assets and liabilities.

FVTPL:
Financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in net income. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as FVTPL when: (i) they are acquired or incurred principally for short-term profit taking and/or meet the definition of a derivative (held-for-trading); or (ii) they meet the criteria for being designated as at FVTPL and have been designated as such on initial recognition.

13



SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Available-for-sale financial assets:
A financial asset is classified as available-for-sale when: (i) it is not classified as a loan and receivable, a held-to-maturity investment or as at FVTPL; or (ii) it is designated as available-for-sale on initial recognition. A financial asset classified as available-for-sale is measured at fair value except for investments in equity instruments that do not have quoted market prices in active markets and where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Such equity instruments are accounted for at cost. For financial assets measured at fair value, their mark-to-market gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity until the financial asset is derecognized or there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Loans and receivables:
Financial assets classified as loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization from the effective interest method is included in finance cost or income.

Other financial liabilities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings:
Other financial liabilities and financial liabilities classified as interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiums on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest method. Amortization from the effective interest method is included in finance cost or income.

Impairment:
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, if any, are recognized in net income in the period they are incurred.

Derecognition:

A financial asset is derecognized when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability. In this case, a new liability is recognized, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of operations.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle liabilities simultaneously.

Fair value of financial instruments:
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices, without deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques, such as using a recent arm’s length market transaction, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows:

  • Financial assets classified as at FVTPL: short term investments, investments in warrants.

  • Financial assets classified as available-for-sale: equity investment in Yongning Smelting Co., Ltd., equity investment in Jinduicheng Xise (Canada) Co. Ltd., and other non-derivative marketable securities.

  • Loans and receivables: trade and other receivables.

  • Other liabilities and interest bearing loans and borrowings: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, and bank loan.

(s) Government Assistance

Refundable mining exploration tax credits received from eligible mining exploration expenditures reduces the carrying amount of the related mineral rights and properties asset. The depletion of the related mineral rights and properties asset is calculated based on the net amount.

(t) Significant Judgments & Estimation Uncertainty

Many amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet require management to make judgments and/or estimates. These judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet.

Areas of significant judgment and estimates include:

  • Estimates of the quantities of proven and probable mineral reserves and the portion of resources considered to be probable of economic extraction.

  • Forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs, and recovery rates.

  • The future economic benefit of exploration and evaluation costs.

  • The estimated fair values of CGU for impairment tests, including estimates of future costs to produce proven and probable reserves, future commodity prices, and discount rates.

  • The estimated useful lives and residual values of tangible and long-lived assets and the measurement of depreciation expense.

  • Provision for environmental rehabilitation.

  • The fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.

  • The recoverability of trade and other receivables and investments.

  • Valuation inputs and forfeiture rates used in calculation of stock-based compensation.

  • Inputs to determine the fair value of warrants held.

  • Evaluation and assessment of contingent liabilities.

  • Valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets.

The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by qualified persons as defined in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101.

(u) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The IASB and IFRIC have issued certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards, mandatory for future accounting periods. The most significant of these are as follows, and are all effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted, unless otherwise specified:

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) will be the new standard for financial reporting of financial instruments that is set to replace the existing IAS 39. IFRS 9 is principles-based and is aimed to be less complex than IAS 39. In October 2010, phase 1 of IFRS 9 was amended to address the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The remaining phases containing mainly amendments to address derecognizing financial instruments, impairment, and hedge accounting, are expected to be completed during the second half of 2011.

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”) provides a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31 and SIC-13.

IFRS 12 – Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities will be the new standard for disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint-ventures, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. As previous disclosure requirements segregated in different standards – IAS 27, IAS 28, and IAS 31 – had overlaps in numerous areas, the new combined disclosure standard will present a uniformed requirement that is easier to understand and apply.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements will be the new standard replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27 and SIC-12, by establishing a consistent application of the concept of control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement will be the new standard that replaces the guidance on fair value measurement in existing IFRS. It defines and provides guidance on measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements in a single standard.

IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures had an amendment in May 2011 that sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint-ventures. The amendment specifies that interest in joint-ventures should be recognized as an investment and accounts for it using the equity method, unless the entity meets certain exemption criteria.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the future accounting standards on the consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The transaction was a business combination and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The final allocation of the purchase price to Yunxiang’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values at the time of acquisition is presented as follows:

Cash consideration $ 23,084  
  Liabilities assumed   3,273  
  Purchase consideration $ 26,357  
       
Net working capital (cash: $nil) $ 27  
Plant and equipment   776  
Mineral rights and properties   49,551  
Environmental rehabilitation provision   (415 )
Deferred income tax liabilities   (12,286 )
  Non-controlling interest   (11,296 )
  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 26,357  

The Company measured the non-controlling interest at its proportionate share of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Acquisition related costs were expensed in the period.

(b) 10% Equity Interest in Henan Huawei Mining Co. Ltd.

On May 21, 2010, the Company acquired an additional 10% equity interest in Henan Huawei from the non-controlling interest shareholder for consideration of $1,127. The consideration was paid through the issuance of 163,916 common shares of the Company. The common shares were valued at $6.876 per share, being the prevailing share price on the New York Stock Exchange at the date of the transaction.

The increase of the Company’s ownership in Henan Huawei from 70% to 80% has been accounted for as an equity transaction with the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interests being adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in Henan Huawei. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid are recognized directly in equity.

17. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company’s objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the entity’s ability to support the Company’s normal operating requirement on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of its mineral properties, and support any expansionary plans.

The capital of the Company consists of the items included in shareholders’ equity. Risk and capital management are primarily the responsibility of the Company’s corporate finance function and is monitored by the Board of Directors. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments depending on economic conditions. Funds have been primarily secured through profitable operations and issuances of equity capital. The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and other short-term deposits, all held with major financial institutions. Significant risks are monitored and actions are taken, when necessary, according to the Company’s approved policies.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

(a) Fair value

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”).

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by IFRS 7, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of April 1, 2010, March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company did not have financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its short term business requirements. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities.

    June 30, 2011     March 31, 2011     April 1, 2010  
    Within a year  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 16,903   $ 12,770   $ 7,504  
Dividends payable   3,631     3,600     3,238  
Bank loan   -     -     1,465  
  $ 20,534   $ 16,370   $ 12,207  

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from such transactions.

The Company conducts its mining operations in China and thereby the majority of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB, which was tied to the USD until July 2005, and is now tied to a basket of currencies of China’s largest trading partners. The RMB is not a freely convertible currency.

The Company currently does not engage in foreign currency hedging, and the exposure of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities to foreign exchange risk is summarized as follows:

    June 30, 2011     March 31, 2011     April 1, 2010  
Financial assets denominated in U.S. Dollars $ 46,727   $ 77,968   $ 29,808  
                   
Financial liabilities denominated in U.S. Dollars $ -   $ -   $ 5  

As at June 30, 2011, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the RMB against the USD would have increased (decreased) net income by approximately $0.2 million.

As at June 30, 2011, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $0.3 million.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents and short term investments primarily includes highly liquid investments that earn interests at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of June 30, 2011.

(e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, interest receivable, cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. The Company has amounts receivable from its major customers primarily in China engaged in the mining and milling of base and polymetallic metals. The historical level of customer defaults is zero and aging of accounts receivable are less than 90 days, and, as a result, the credit risk associated with accounts receivable from customers as at June 30, 2011 is considered to be immaterial.

(f) Equity price risk

The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on Canadian financial markets. As the Company’s marketable securities holding are mainly in mining companies, the value will also fluctuate based on commodity prices. Based upon the Company’s portfolio at June 30, 2011, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency effects, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to comprehensive income of approximately $1.1 million.

22. TRANSITION TO IFRS

The Company adopted IFRS effective April 1, 2011 with a transition date of April 1, 2010. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its previous Canadian GAAP consolidated balance sheet as at April 1, 2010 and its previously published Canadian GAAP consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended March 31, 2011.

(a) First-time adoption exemptions applied

In preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1, the Company has applied certain of the optional exemptions from full retrospective application of IFRS. The optional exemptions applied are described below.

(i)     

Business combinations – the Company has elected the business combinations exemption in IFRS 1 to not apply IFRS 3, Business Combinations retrospectively to past business combinations. Accordingly, the Company has not restated business combinations that took place prior to the transition date.

(ii)     

Cumulative translation differences – the Company has elected to set the previously cumulative translation account, which was included in accumulated other comprehensive income, to zero as at the transition date, and absorbed the balance to retained earnings.

(iii)     

Fair value as deemed cost – a first-time adopter of IFRS is allowed to elect a previous GAAP revaluation of an item of property, plant and equipment at, or before, the transition date to IFRS as deemed cost at the date of the revaluation, if the revaluation was at the date of the revaluation, broadly comparable to fair value. The Company had previously revalued certain mineral rights and properties as a result of a Canadian GAAP impairment on December 31, 2008

and has elected these revalued amounts, which is $nil, as their deemed cost as at the transition date. The fair value was $nil.

(iv)     

Share-based payment – the Company has elected to not apply IFRS 2, Share-based Payment to equity instruments granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the date of transition to IFRS.

(b) Reconciliation of equity

(d) Statement of cash flows

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the conversion to IFRS did not result in material changes to the statement of cash flows.

For the year ended March 31, 2011, the conversion to IFRS did not result in material changes to the statement of cash flows.

(e) Notes to the reconciliations

Transitional adjustments are made according to the following notes:

(i) Foreign exchange impact on translation

With the adoption of IFRS, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries changed their functional currency from the CAD to the RMB. Such change resulted in a foreign exchange difference between the two accounting standards on certain non-monetary assets and non-controlling interest. These assets were previously translated from RMB to CAD by using historical rates and then translated from CAD to USD by using period end rates under Canadian GAAP. However under IFRS, they are translated from RMB to USD directly by using period end rates.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

April 1, 2010: Foreign exchange differences of $475 were adjusted to the respective non-current assets and retained earnings.

June 30, 2010: Foreign exchange differences of $4,650 were adjusted to respective non-current assets and retained earnings with an exchange gain of $327 recognized in net income in the period.

March 31, 2011: Foreign exchange differences of $289 were adjusted to respective non-current assets and retained earnings with an exchange loss of $47 recognized in net income in the period.

(ii) Acquisition cost of GC property

At the time when the Company acquired its GC property, deferred income tax liabilities arising from acquisition premiums were recognized under the Canadian GAAP with the related assets capitalized to mineral rights and properties. However, IFRS does not allow the recognition of such deferred income tax liabilities.

April 1, 2010: Adjustments of $19,475 were made to reduce mining rights and properties (non-current assets) and deferred income tax liabilities.

June 30, 2010: Adjustments of $19,602 were made to reduce mining rights and properties (non-current assets) and deferred income tax liabilities.

March 31, 2011: Adjustments of $20,312 were made to reduce mining rights and properties (non-current assets) and deferred income tax liabilities.

(iii) Non-controlling interests’ portion of reserves

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements requires the Company subsidiaries’ non-controlling shareholders to pick up their portion of the reserve funds. Reserves of $7,176 were allocated to non-controlling interest.

(iv) Cumulative translation difference

The Company has elected to eliminate its cumulative translation difference that existed at the date of transition to IFRS. Cumulative translation difference of $14,591 was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Non-controlling interest of $188 was adjusted to reflect the non-controlling interest holders’ portion of the cumulative translation difference.

(v) Stock-based compensation

Under Canadian GAAP, forfeitures of grants were recognized as they occur. Under IFRS, forfeiture estimates are recognized in the period they are estimated, and are revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods.

April 1, 2010: Stock-based compensation was reduced by $82 with respective adjustments made to contributed surplus and retained earnings.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

June 30, 2010: Stock-based compensation was reduced by $26 with respective adjustments made to contributed surplus and retained earnings.

March 31, 2011: Stock-based compensation was reduced by $135 with respective adjustments made to contributed surplus and retained earnings.

(vi) Henan Huawei 10% share acquisition adjustment

The acquisition of an additional 10% interest in Henan Huawei was accounted for as a business combination under Canadian GAAP. As the transaction did not result in a change of control in the Company’s ownership interest in Henan Huawei, under IFRS, the transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction. As a result, the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect the changes in the relative interests in Huawei.

June 30, 2010: Non-current assets were reduced by $973, with the respective adjustments made to non-controlling interests and equity.

March 31, 2011: Non-current assets were reduced by $723, with the respective adjustments made to non-controlling interests and equity. $278 is adjusted to increase net income mainly due to reversal of deferred taxes.

(vii) Non-controlling interests’ pick-up

Canadian GAAP does not allow the debit balance of non-controlling interests, while IFRS requires picking up of the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of transition, even if the resulting non-controlling interest balance becomes debit. As a result, the non-controlling interests of the Company’s subsidiaries, Huawei and Qinghai Found have been adjusted to reflect their portion of the changes in equity since the date of transition.

June 30, 2010: Non-controlling interests balance increased by $318.

March 31, 2011: Non-controlling interests balance increased by $1,528.

(viii) Reclassification of financial statement items

Current portion of deferred income tax assets (liabilities) under Canadian GAAP were reclassified to long term under IFRS. Non-controlling interests classified as liabilities under Canadian GAAP were reclassified to equity under IFRS. Non-controlling interests on the statement of comprehensive income was reclassified for presentation purposes to be in accordance with IFRS.

(ix) Dilution gain and share of income from an associate, NUX

Adjustments to equity income and dilution gain were made due to changes of financial results of NUX as a result of NUX adopting IFRS. As a result, adjustment of $198 was made to non-current assets with corresponding increase in comprehensive income on March 31, 2011 (June 30, 2010 - $nil).

(x) Environmental rehabilitation

IFRS requires the Company to revisit the environmental rehabilitation at every balance sheet date using the most current market information, such as the discount rate used to calculate future cash flows. This was not required under Canadian GAAP. The Company will revaluate the environmental rehabilitation based on discount rate changes on an annual basis. As a result of discount rate changes, an adjustment of $117 was made to reduce the environmental rehabilitation provision and its related assets on March 31, 2011 (June 30, 2010 - $nil, April 1, 2010 - $nil).

(xi) Acquisition of Xinshao Yunxiang Mining Co. Ltd.

The acquisition of Yunxiang was accounted for as a business combination under Canadian GAAP using the purchase method. Under such method, the non-controlling interest is recorded at its proportionate share of the carrying value of the net assets acquired. The acquisition-related costs are included as part of the purchase consideration. Under IFRS, the acquisition is accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The full fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded. The non-controlling interest is recorded at its proportionate share of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and the acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period.

As a result, on March 31, 2011, non-current assets were adjusted by $14,171, non-current liabilities related to deferred income liabilities were adjusted by $3,543 and non-controlling interest balance was adjusted by $10,841. Acquisition-related costs of $304 were expensed in statement of income for the period.
