EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 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.

These condensed consolidated interim 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 generation are 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.

These condensed consolidated interim financial 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 and Measurement

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 profit or 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.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as our most recent annual financial statements, except as described below, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $382,000 as a result of including certain items previously classified as non-operating into revenue and other income including $365,000 related to the gain on sale of projects, $234,000 of interest income, and a loss of $217,000 from the sale of marketable securities. There was no change to the net loss for the period.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 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-balance sheet. 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 statement of financial position, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 are consistent with those applied in the Company’s December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements.

3. RESTRICTED CASH

At September 30, 2019, the Company classified $4,364,000 (December 31, 2018 - $619,000) as restricted cash. This amount is comprised of $191,000 (December 31, 2018 - $196,000) held as collateral for its corporate credit cards, $Nil (December 31, 2018 - $86,000) held in trust to be used to offset loan fees, and $4,173,000 (2018 - $336,000) cash held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company whose full amount is for use and credit to the Company’s exploration venture partners in the USA, Sweden, Norway, and Finland pursuant to expenditure requirements for ongoing option agreements. Partner advances expected to be used within the following 12 months are included with current assets.

Total investments $  3,504   $  (1,935 ) $  1,569  

On February 20, 2019, the Company acquired through a private placement, 1,995,672 Units of Boreal Metals Corp. ("Boreal"; TSX-V: BMX) for $190,000 or $0.095 per unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one warrant to purchase a further common share. The Company applied the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants acquired in the private placement. This resulted in $160,000 being applied to the share component or $0.08 per share which was the trading price on the closing date of BMX’s private placement, and $30,000 or $0.015 allocated to the warrant component. At September 30, 2019 the fair value of warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions as follows: risk-free interest rate of 1.58%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 132%, forfeiture rate of 0%, and an expected life of 1.3 years. During the 9 months ended September 30, 2019 the Company acquired an additional 358,000 common shares of Boreal Metals Corp. at a price of $0.05 per share ($17,011).

On April 25, 2019, the Company acquired a 1% NSR royalty on existing West Pogo project claims held by Millrock Resources Inc ("Millrock") (TSX Venture: MRO, OTCQX: MLRKF) by way of a private placement. Pursuant to the investment, in addition to the royalty interests EMX acquired 7,142,857 Units of Millrock for $1 million or $0.14 per Unit representing a 9.4% equity interest in Millrock. Each Unit consists of one common share of Millrock and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the Company to purchase one additional common share of Millrock until December 14, 2021 at an escalating exercise price ($0.14 until December 14, 2019; $0.17 from December 15, 2019 until December 14, 2020; and $0.20 from December 15, 2020 until December 14, 2021). The Company applied a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares, warrants, and royalty interests acquired in the private placement. This resulted in $571,000 or $0.08 per share being allocated to the share component which was the trading price of Millrock on the closing date, $217,000 or $0.03 per share allocated to the warrant component using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the residual balance being $211,000 allocated to the royalty interest (Note 11). The weighted average assumptions used for fair valuing the warrants at September 30, 2019 were as follows: risk-free interest rate of 1.58% and 1.47% , dividend yield of 0% for both periods, volatility of 123% and 117%, forfeiture rate of 0% for both periods, and an expected life of 1.72 and 1.81 years respectively.

4. INVESTMENTS (Continued)

In July 2019, the company acquired an additional 1,300,000 Units of Millrock for $97,500 or $0.075 per Unit through a non-brokered private placement . Each Unit consists of one common share of Millrock and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the Company to purchase one additional common share of Millrock until December 14, 2021 at an escalating exercise price ($0.14 until December 14, 2019; $0.17 from December 15, 2019 until December 14, 2020; and $0.20 from December 15, 2020 until December 14, 2021). Applying the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants acquired in the private placement there was no residual value to allocate to the warrants.

In June 2019, pursuant to a purchase agreement to acquire royalty interests from Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus") (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) for $350,000 (Note 11), the Company made an equity investment of $900,000 in Corvus through a private placement financing. At the time of the investment, the trading price of Corvus exceeded the $900,000 purchase price for the shares.

In July 2019, the Company acquired 1,000,000 common shares of GlobeTrotters Resource Group Inc. a private Canadian exploration company operating in Peru at a price of $0.50 per share ($500,000).

Included in investments for the year ended December 31, 2018 is $264,000 being the fair value of an investment in IG Copper

LLC ("IGC") previously recorded as an investment in an associated entity.

5. RECEIVABLES

The Company’s receivables are related to distributions expected from investments, sale of foreign subsidiaries, royalty receivable, goods and services tax and harmonized sales taxes receivable from government taxation authorities, and recovery of royalty generation costs from project partners.

7. NOTE RECEIVABLE

On October 16, 2017, the Company issued a note receivable to Revelo Resources Corp. (TSX-V: RVL), a related party by way of a common director for the principal amount of $400,000. The note was due on December 31, 2017, together with accrued interest at a rate of 1% per month and a bonus of $20,000. As at September 30, 2019, the balance owed to the Company pursuant to the note was $514,000 (December 31, 2018 - $478,000) including accrued interest and bonus fee. The Company continues discussions with RVL on options for repayment of the outstanding balance.

8. EQUITY LOSS IN AN ASSOCIATED ENTITY

On December 12, 2018, The Company’s equity investment, IGC underwent a recapitalization in which the Company did not participate and EMX’s investment was diluted to 19.9% . As such, the Company derecognized its 39.99% equity investment in IGC and reallocated the fair value of the remaining investment to FVTPL (Note 4).

Prior to the derecognition of IGC as an investment in an associated entity, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $Nil (2018 - $1,150,000) 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.

Pursuant to the agreement, Playfair can earn a 100% interest in the project by the issuance of 3,000,000 common shares (received) to EMX and performance of certain work during the option period. The commons shares received were valued at $150,000, or $0.05 per share and included in revenue and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

These AAR payments may be made in gold bullion, their cash equivalents, or their value equivalent in shares of GLR, subject to certain conditions. EMX will have the right to participate pro-rata in future financings at its own cost to maintain its 9.9% interest in GLR.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company entered into 2 acquisition agreements for certain royalty interests in Alaska’s Goodpaster Mining District as follows:

Corvus Royalty Interests

Pursuant to an acquisition agreement with Corvus, EMX acquired the following net smelter return ("NSR") royalty interests from Corvus for $350,000:

  • West Pogo WPX Claim Block: EMX will acquire two thirds of Corvus’s 3% NSR royalty on precious metals and 1% NSR royalty on base metals. Corvus has retained the remaining one third of its royalty on the West Pogo WPX claim block. The precious metals royalty is subject to a buy down of 1% for US $2 million, and a buy down of an additional 1% for US $5 million, both of which will be shared proportionately by EMX and Corvus.

  • LMS Project: EMX will acquire Corvus’s 3% NSR royalty on precious metals and 1% NSR royalty on base metals. The precious metals royalty is subject to a buy down of 1% for US $4 million.

  • Goodpaster District: EMX will acquire all of Corvus’s rights to a 1% NSR royalty on properties staked within a defined area of interest ("AOI") pursuant to a 2015 agreement with Millrock. The AOI expires July 21, 2020, and Millrock may purchase one-half of these royalties (i.e., 0.5% NSR royalty) for US $2 million.

  • Chisna Project – EMX will acquire all of Corvus’s 1% NSR royalties on precious and base metals.

11. ROYALTY INTERESTS (Continued)

Millrock Royalty Interests

Pursuant to a private placement financing and acquisition agreement, the Company acquired the following royalty interests from Millrock valued at $211,000 (Note 3).

  • West Pogo: At the West Pogo project the new claims staked are covered by 0.5% to 1.0% EMX NSR royalty interests. The new staking adds on to claims that Millrock already owns, or upon which Millrock already has an option to purchase a 100% interest. These pre-existing Millrock property interests, including the Aurora and Hansen claim blocks, are partially covered by an EMX purchase option for NSR royalty interests ranging from 1.0% to 1.5%.

  • East Pogo: At the East Pogo project, new claims staked around several known prospects are subject to 0.5% to 1% EMX NSR royalty interests. These prospect areas contain elevated gold, arsenic and bismuth surface sample anomaly clusters related to northeast and northwest-oriented high angle faults.

  • Shaw-Eagle-LMS Trend: New claims staked along the Shaw–Eagle–LMS trend are subject to 0.5% to 1% EMX NSR royalty interests. The claims cover gold, arsenic and bismuth geochemical anomalies.

Carlin Trend Royalties

The Company holds royalty interests in the Carlin Trend in Nevada which includes the following 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. Should the property become producing, the Company will receive a production royalty of US$0.50 per yard of ore processed or 4% of net profit, whichever is greater.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1,152,000 (2018 - $1,602,000) in royalty income was included in revenue and other income. Applied only against the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block royalty income was depletion of $747,000 (2018 - $1,378,000 ) and a 5% direct gold tax of $39,000 (2018 - $74,000).

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company’s policy for accounting for impairment of non-current assets is to use the higher of the estimates of 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

Total $  431   $  444  

As at September 30, 2019, the Company has no material reclamation obligations.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, Goodwill was written down by $911,000 in conjunction with the net decrease of $862,000 of the related deferred income tax liability.

14. ADVANCES FROM JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS

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 September 30, 2019, the Company had working capital of $81 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 was due an additional distributions of $2.6 million (US$2 million) related to escrow funds subject to certain conditions and is expected to be released from escrow pending any warranty claims during 2019. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company received US$697,000 as partial payment on the additional amount due.

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 at September 30, 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 $  3,256   $  -   $  264   $  3,520  
Warrants   -     311     -     311  
Strategic Investments   49     -     -     49  
Total $  3,305   $  311   $  264   $  3,880  

The carrying value of 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.

The Company holds warrants exercisable into common shares of public companies. The warrants do not trade on an exchange and are restricted in their transfer. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using observable market information 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.

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 to estimate the potential effect of changing the assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions on the estimated fair value of the investment.

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

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 September 30, 2019 portfolio 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.

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

The exposure of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, convertible notes receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable to foreign exchange risk as at September 30, 2019 is as follows:

In Thousands of Dollars      
Accounts   US dollars  
Cash and cash equivalents $  54,770  
Restricted cash   2,879  
Trade receivables   2,462  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (442 )
Advances from joint venture partners   (2,823 )
Net exposure $  56,846  
Canadian dollar equivalent $  75,262  

     The balances noted above reflect the US dollar balances held within the parent company and any wholly owned subsidiaries. Balances denominated in another currency other than the functional currency held in foreign operations are considered immaterial. Based on the above net exposure as at September 30, 2019, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $7,500,000 million in the Company’s pre-tax profit or loss.
