EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

EMX Royalty Corporation (the “Company” or “EMX”), together with its subsidiaries operates as a royalty and prospect generator engaged in the exploring for, and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties. The Company’s royalty and exploration portfolio mainly consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the NYSE American under the symbol of “EMX”. The Company’s head office is located at 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.

Thesecondensed consolidatedinterim financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve months.

Some of the Company’s activities for royalty generationare located in emerging nations and, consequently, may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory and political situations.

At the date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade mineral on any of its exploration and evaluation assets. The ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to date on these exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the Company identifying a commercial mineral body, to finance its development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory or other constraints which may hinder the successful development of the exploration and evaluation assets.

Thesecondensed consolidated interimfinancial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries except as to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“BULM”), the holder of a royalty income stream whose functional currency is the United States (“US”) dollar.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profitor loss and fair value through other comprehensive income, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Reclassification

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

As a result of the reclassifications, loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased by $494,000as a result of including certain items previously classified as non-operating into revenue and other income including $422,000related to the gain on sale of projects, $25,000from the sale of marketable securities, and $47,000of interest income. There was no change to the net loss for the period.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of EMX Royalty Corp., the parent company, and its controlled subsidiaries, after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.

The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated. The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are as follows:

Name   Place of Incorporation     Ownership Percentage  
Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc   Utah, USA     100%  
EMX (USA) Services Corp.   Nevada, USA     100%  
Bronco Creek Exploration Inc.   Arizona, USA     100%  
Eurasia Madencilik Ltd. Sirketi   Turkey     100%  
Azur Madencilik Ltd. Sirketi   Turkey     100%  
Trab Madencilik Ltd. Sirketi   Turkey     100%  
Eurasian Minerals Cooperatief U.A.   Netherlands     100%  
Eurasian Minerals Sweden AB   Sweden     100%  
Viad Royalties AB   Sweden     100%  
Waikato Gold Limited   New Zealand     100%  

Functional and Reporting Currency

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar except the functional currency of the operations of Bullion Monarch which is the US dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Translation of transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the rate of exchange at each financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

On translation of the entities whose functional currency is other than the Canadian dollar, revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses, including results of re-translation, are recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounting Standards Adopted During the Period

Leases

IFRS 16, Leases was issued in January 2016 and applies to annual financial reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. IFRS 16 introduced significant changes to lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged.

IFRS 16 has changed how the Corporation accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which were off-balancesheet. Applying IFRS 16 for all except for short term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Corporation will (i) recognize ‘right-of-use’ assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate; (ii) recognize depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of loss; and (iii) separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within operating activities) in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office furniture), the Corporation has opted to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by IFRS 16. The Company has taken the exemptions related to short-term and low value asset leases. Exploration and evaluation assets and mineral leases are not in the scope of this standard.

The adoption of IRFS 16 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements.

8. EQUITY LOSS IN AN ASSOCIATED ENTITY (Continued)

Prior to the derecognition of IGC as an investment in an associated entity, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $Nil (2018 - $611,000) in equity losses.

The Company continues to hold a 19.9% interest in IGC, has a minority position on the Board of IGC, and does not control operational decisions. The Company’s judgment is that it does not have control or significant influence of IGC, and accordingly accounting for the remaining investment in IGC as FVTPL is appropriate.

Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block

The Company holds an interest in the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block in Nevada which includes the following royalty properties:

  - Leeville Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the Company is receiving a continuing 1% gross smelter return royalty (“GSRR”).
     
  - East Ore Body Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the property is currently being mined and the Company is receiving a continuing 1% GSRR.
     
  - North Pipeline: Located in Lander County, Nevada. Shouldthe property become producing, the Company will receive a production royalty ofUS $0.50 per yard of ore processed or 4% of net profit, whichever is greater.

During thethree months ended March 31,2019,$356,000 (2018-$587,000) in royalty income was included in revenue and other income. Applied only against the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block royalty income was depletion of $317,000 (2018 - $414,000 ) and a 5% direct gold tax of $16,000 (2018 - $23,000).

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company’s policy for accounting for impairment of non-current assets is to use the higher of the estimatesof fair value less cost of disposal of these assets or value in use. The Company uses valuation techniques that require significant judgments and assumptions, including those with respect to future production levels, future metal prices and discount rates.

Non-current assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company continuously reviews the production of gold from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block, expected long term gold prices to be realized, foreign exchange, and interest rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, these assumptions remained reasonable and no revisions were considered necessary.

12. RECLAMATION BONDS

Reclamation bonds are held as security towards future project and royalty generation work and the related future potential cost of reclamation of the Company’s land and unproven mineral interests. Once reclamation of the properties is complete, the bonds will be returned to the Company.

13. GOODWILL

The Company’s goodwill represented the excess of the purchase price paid during fiscal 2012 for the acquisition of Bullion Monarch Mining Inc. over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.

The Company applies a one-step approach to determine if the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block and the related assets within the same Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”)are impaired (Note 11). The impairment loss is the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.As a result of an impairment against the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block the Goodwill was written-off to $Nil in the year ended December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Goodwill was written down by $372,000 in conjunction with the net decrease of $372,000 of the related deferred income tax liability.

18. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $84 million (December 31, 2018 - $89 million). The Company has continuing royalty income that will vary depending on royalty ounces received, the price of gold, and foreign exchange rates on US royalty payments. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private placements, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders.

As a result of of the Company’s former investment in an associated entity, IGC (Note 8)the Company is due additional distributionsof $5 million (US$4 million) related to escrow funds subject to certain conditions of which $2.7 million (US$2 million) was received subsequent to March 31, 2019, and remaining funds expected to be released from escrow pending any warranty claims during 2019.

Fair Value

The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
  Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments’ fair value.

As atMarch 31, 2019, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2018. Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

In Thousands of Dollars                        
Assets   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Investments $  2,276   $  -   $  911   $  3,187  
Strategic Investments   49     -     -     49  
Settlement receivables   -     848     -     848  
Total $  2,325   $  848   $  911   $  4,084  

The carrying value of receivables (excluding settlement receivables), accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from joint venture partners, and note payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Settlement receivables, including both long and current portions relate to the sale of certain Turkish subsidiaries were valued using a pricing model which require a variety of inputs, such as expected gold prices and foreign exchange rates. These receivables are valued using observable market commodity prices and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s investment in IGC does not have a quoted market price in an active market and the Company has assessed a fair value of the investment based on IGC’s unobservable net assets. As a result, the fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

18. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The process of estimating the fair value of IGC is based on inherent measurement uncertainties and is based on techniques and assumptions that emphasize both qualitative and quantitative information. There is no reasonable quantitative basis toestimate the potential effect of changing the assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions on the estimated fair value of the investment.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents and receivables. This risk is minimized by holding a significant portion of the funds in Canadian banks. The Company’s exposure with respect to its receivables is primarily related to royalty streams, recovery of project and royalty generation costs, and the sale of assets.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Management believes the interest rate risk is low given interest rates on promissory notes is fixed and the current low global interest rate environment. Fluctuation in market rates is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations due to the short term to maturity and no penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents.

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the March 31, 2019portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective market values would increase or decrease net shareholders’ equity by approximately $3.2 million.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company’s expenditures will not exceed available resources.

Commodity Risk

The Company’s royalty revenues are derived from a royalty interest and are based on the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered. Metal prices have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s royalty interests cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company operates in Canada, Turkey, Sweden, Australia, Norway, and the U.S.A. The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in US dollars and a portion of its expenditures are also incurred in local currencies.
