The fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 has been calculated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

    Nine months ended December 31,

Risk free interest rate   0.53%     1.13%  
Expected life of option in years   2.86 years     3.01 years  
Expected volatility   57%     53%  
Expected dividend yield   0.45%     1.14%  
Estimated forfeiture rate   11%     11%  
Weighted average share price at date of grant $ 0.91   $ 1.75  

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was CAD$0.33 (for nine months ended December 31, 2014 - CAD$0.59).

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND 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. There have been no significant changes in the financial risks facing the Company since March 31, 2015.

(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.

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 at December 31, 2015 that are not otherwise disclosed. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company did not have financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value of other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

(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.

          December 31, 2015        
    Within a year     2-3 years     4-5 years     Total  
Mine right fee payable $ 3,898   $ 5,690   $ -   $ 9,588  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   33,723     -     -     33,723

(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 is tied to a basket of currencies of China’s largest trading partners.

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:

    December 31, 2015     March 31, 2015  
Financial assets denominated in U.S. Dollars $ 24,147   $ 20,838  
Financial assets denominated in Chinese RMB $ 40,410   $ 44,133  

As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the RMB against the USD would have increased (decreased) net income before income taxes by approximately $0.6 million.

As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the CAD against the USD would have decreased (increased) net income before income taxes by approximately $0.2 million.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments, not disclosed elsewhere in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are as follows:

    Total     Less than 1 year     1-5 years     After 5 years  
Operating leases $ 4,175   $ 390   $ 2,986   $ 799  
Commitments $ 6,418   $ -   $ -   $ 6,418  

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has two office rental agreements totaling $4,175 for the next eight years and commitments of $6,418 related to the GC property. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred rental expenses of $144 and $479, respectively (three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 - $283 and $912, respectively), which were included in office and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated interim statements of income.

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, no contingent liabilities were accrued.

On May 23, 2013 the Company became aware of an action commenced pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) against it and certain of its senior officers and expert advisors in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 21, 2013 relating to claims for misrepresentation, at common law and pursuant to secondary market civil liability provisions under the Securities Act (Ontario) (the “Mask Action”). The lead plaintiff is John Mask and the amount claimed as special damages or general damages, not including claims for costs and interest, is $80 million or such other sum the court finds appropriate in the event this action is certified and judgment pronounced at trial. Two other class action lawsuits have been filed against the Company and certain of its senior officers and expert advisors in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) on September 11, 2013 and in the British Columbia Supreme Court pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (British Columbia) on September 9, 2013. The Company understands that, as between the three actions, only the Mask Action is proceeding at this time. The Company believes that there is no merit to the allegations set out in these lawsuits and has retained McCarthy Tétrault LLP as its defense counsel and intends to pursue a vigorous defense.

On October 22, 2015 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice denied Mr. Mask leave to proceed with a class action and awarded costs in favour of Silvercorp. Mr. Mask has since filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
