1)  Prior to January 1, 2014, the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations was the Canadian dollar and the functional currency for all the foreign entities was the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations changed on a prospective basis from the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar effective January 1, 2014, as management determined that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates changed after SilverCrest drew down United States dollar funds from the credit facility (note 10). Exchange differences on the re-translation of the Company’s Canadian entities are now recorded in the statement of operations.
 
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 
 

 
 
1.      NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (“SilverCrest” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the jurisdiction of the Province of British Columbia, Canada pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. SilverCrest is a public company whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (under the symbol SVLC), on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) (under the symbol SVL) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) (under the symbol CW5).
 
The head office and principal address of the Company is 570 Granville Street, Suite 501, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3P1. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 19th Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3E8.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company on November 12, 2014.
 
2.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with SilverCrest’s most recently issued audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies, use of judgments and estimates were presented in notes 2 and 3, respectively, of these audited consolidated financial statements, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except for those policies which have changed as a result of the adoption of new and amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2014.

Basis of Preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of SilverCrest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries NorCrest Silver Inc., and SVL Minerals Ltd. (both incorporated under the laws of Canada), and Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Santa Elena Oro y Plata S.A. de C.V., Minera de Cerro Santo S.A. de C.V., Magellan Exploracion S.A. de C.V., Minera Metro S.A. de C.V., and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (all incorporated under the laws of Mexico). All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

SilverCrest consolidates subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity. Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the voting power. Control can also be achieved through power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control.

3.      CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company has adopted the following new standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective January 1, 2014. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
 
IFRS 8 – Operating Segments:
 
Amended to require disclosure of the judgments made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments share similar economic characteristics.  IFRS 8 was early adopted effective January 1, 2014 and had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Refer to note 21 for disclosure of the Company’s operating segments.
 
IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”)
 
The IASB amended IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify certain aspects because of diversity in application of the requirements on offsetting, focused on four main areas:
 
 
·
the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’;
 
 
·
the application of simultaneous realization and settlement;
 
 
·
the offsetting of collateral amounts; and
 
 
·
the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements.
 
IAS 32 was adopted effective January 1, 2014 and had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets (“IAS 36”)
 
The amendments to IAS 36 restrict the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) to periods in which an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. The amendments also expand and clarify the disclosure requirements applicable when an asset or CGU’s recoverable amount has been determined on the basis of fair value less cost of disposal. IAS 36 was adopted effective January 1, 2014 and had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
IFRIC 21 – Levies (“IFRIC 21”)
 
An interpretation of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 was adopted effective January 1, 2014 and had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
 
4.       NEW STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
 
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
 
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 which replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on an entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow of the financial asset. Classification is made at the time the financial asset is initially recognized, namely when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
 
IFRS 9 amends some of the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, including added disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value in other comprehensive income, and guidance on financial liabilities and derecognition of financial instruments. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted.
 
IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)
 
In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 to replace IAS 18 – Revenue, which establishes a new single five-step control-based revenue recognition model for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted.
 
IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38 – Intangibles (“IAS 38”)
 
IAS 16 and IAS 38 were issued in May 2014 and prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are to be applied prospectively.
 
The Company has not yet completed the process of assessing the impact that IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IAS 16 and IAS 38 will have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements, or whether to early adopt these new requirements.

7.       PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
 
 (1) Prior to completing the commissioning of Santa Elena’s Expansion in Progress (“EIP”), the Company capitalized proceeds from sales of silver and gold ounces and related expenses attributed to the underground mine, mill and processing facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company capitalized $3,571,688 related to production from Santa Elena’s underground mine and $4,948,662 from production during the commissioning period from Santa Elena’s new mill and CCD/MC processing facilities.  In determining commissioning completion of the mill and CCD/MC processing facilities, management considered the following criteria;
 
 
·
Achieving greater than 80% of nameplate capacity (3,000 tonne-per-day) over a reasonable period of continuous production.
 
·
Achieving average startup recovery rates of 82% gold and 65% silver.
 
·
Dore production from the new mill exceeding budget estimates.
 
·
All major components of the mill and facilities completed and operating to the satisfaction of management and independent commissioning team.
 
·
Completion of budgeted capital expenditures.
 
·
Achieving positive operating cash flows from expanded operations including milling but excluding underground operations.
 
 All of the above commissioning criteria were met to the satisfaction of management so on August 1, 2014, the Company reclassified the carrying value of $65,711,812 related to the mill and processing facilities from Santa Elena Mine EIP to Santa Elena Mine Equipment, stopped capitalizing sales of silver and gold ounces and related expenses to the carrying value of the asset, and started to record depreciation in the statement of operations.
 
(2) Based on updated quantities of probable reserves disclosed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “Santa Elena Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study and Open Pit Reserve Update” (“Technical Report”) filed July 25, 2013, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, SilverCrest allocated the Santa Elena Mine $4 million acquisition cost between open pit mine asset and underground mine asset, which resulted in a reclassification of $2,330,000 from Santa Elena Mine Mining Assets to Santa Elena Mine EIP.
 
(3) In March 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (note 9), Sandstorm made an additional $10 million upfront deposit for their share of Santa Elena’s expansion capital costs related to the underground development. The additional $10 million upfront deposit was recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the Santa Elena EIP asset.

 
8.       EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
 
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing except as otherwise disclosed. However, this should not be considered as a guarantee of title. The mineral properties may be subject to prior claims or agreements, or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

Ermitaño Property, Sonora, Mexico
 
In January 2014, SilverCrest signed an option agreement (the “Agreement”) with Evrim Resources Corp. (“Evrim”) whereby SilverCrest can acquire a 100% interest in Evrim’s Ermitaño Property in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Ermitaño Property consists of two concessions (I and II) totalling 165 square kilometres of mineral tenure contiguous to the Santa Elena Mine.  SilverCrest can earn a 100% interest in the Ermitaño Property by paying $75,000 upon signing (paid) and $50,000 each anniversary thereafter, completing a minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures in the first year, and delivering a Production Notice within five years specifying mine and construction plans with accompanying permits. Upon delivery of the Production Notice, the annual payments will cease and Evrim will retain a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) on revenues from production of minerals.

 La Joya Project, Durango, Mexico
 
The La Joya Project, located southeast of Durango City, Durango State, Mexico is comprised of 15 mineral concessions. Nine of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya West concessions, which the Company acquired on May 24, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s full exercise of an option granted in 2010 by the original vendors of the concessions. Three of the 15 mineral concessions are known as the La Joya East concessions, for which the Company still maintains an option to purchase from the original owners. The remaining three contiguous mineral concessions were acquired directly by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
 
Prior to 2013, the Company held an option to acquire a 100% interest in the La Joya West concessions, which option was exercised in full on May 24, 2013 by making staged payments totaling $2,680,000 over a three year period commencing June 2010. The final payment of $2,500,000 was settled on May 24, 2013, by a combination of cash payment ($1,250,000) and the issuance of a total of 615,776 common shares of the Company. In March 2014, the Company released the final payment on the La Joya West concessions upon verification of title registration in Mexico. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals.
 
On November 25, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the three La Joya East concessions. Under the terms of the original option agreement, the Company may exercise its option to acquire the La Joya East concessions by making staged payments totaling $1,500,000 over a three year period commencing January 2011 (of which $912,500 has been paid). On November 6, 2013, the Company amended the La Joya East option agreement so that the final payment of $1,175,000 may be paid in two equal cash payments in the amount of $587,500 each, with the first payment due May 6, 2014 (paid) and the second and final payment due May 6, 2015. There is a 2% NSR on revenues from production of minerals. Of the final option payments, $750,000 shall be deemed to be advanced royalty payments made on account of the NSR.
 
Cruz de Mayo Project, Sonora, Mexico
 
The Company purchased a 100% interest in certain mineral concessions, located in Sonora State, Mexico, in 2004, and on November 19, 2010, finalized an assignment agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the El Guereguito concession in the same state. The Company has the right to acquire the 100% interest in the El Guereguito concession by making staged option payments totaling $1,000,000.

9.       DEFERRED REVENUE
 
On May 14, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Purchase Agreement”) under which the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., agreed to sell 20% of future gold production from the Santa Elena Project to Sandstorm in exchange for an Upfront Deposit of $12,000,000 and 3,500,000 common shares of Sandstorm. The Purchase Agreement also provided for ongoing per-ounce payments by Sandstorm equal to the lesser of $350 and the prevailing spot gold market price upon delivery of gold until a total of 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered. The per ounce price of $350 is subject to an increase of 1% per annum commencing April 1, 2014.
 
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company could have been required to return a portion of the Upfront Deposit if certain production levels were not achieved. Therefore, the Upfront Deposit and fair value of the shares were treated as deferred revenue. As deliveries of gold are made to Sandstorm, the Company recognizes a portion of the deferred revenue as operating revenue. The amount recognized for fiscal 2014, is based on the proportion of gold ounces delivered to Sandstorm in the period, to 50,000 (2013 – 35,794) ounces of gold deliverable to Sandstorm.
 
In February 2014, the Company received notice of Sandstorm’s election to participate in the Underground Mine Option. In accordance with the terms of the exercise of the option, Sandstorm paid an additional upfront deposit of $10 million to the Company, and will continue to make ongoing per ounce payments of $350 until 50,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to Sandstorm, inclusive of ounces already delivered from open-pit production, at which time the payments will increase to $450 per ounce of gold. The Company recorded the additional $10 million deposit as a reduction to the carrying value of the Santa Elena EIP asset (note 7) as there are no requirements to return any portion of the deposit to Sandstorm.
 
The Company has granted Sandstorm a charge on the assets of the Company that is subordinate to any existing and future bank debt.
 
 
 

 

9.       DEFERRED REVENUE (continued)
 
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded revenue of $2,209,947 (2013 - $3,229,925) from the delivery of 3,942 gold ounces (2013 - 4,453) to Sandstorm. The revenue recorded consisted of $1,388,174 (2013 - $1,558,655) in cash and $821,773 (2013 - $1,671,270) from amortization of deferred revenue.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company also recorded $459,948 (2013 - $Nil) to the Santa Elena Mine EIP related to the delivery of 819 gold ounces to Sandstorm. This revenue consisted of $289,183 in cash and $170,765 from amortization of deferred revenue.

10.       CREDIT FACILITY
 
On July 11, 2013, SilverCrest entered into a three year $40 million secured corporate credit facility (the “Facility”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”). The Facility is principally secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its material subsidiaries, including Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and their assets. SilverCrest drew down $15 million from the Facility in February, 2014 to fund Santa Elena expansion expenditures.
 
On July 11, 2014, the available credit limit of the Facility reduced by $10 million to $30 million. The credit limit will reduce by a further $10 million on July 11, 2015, and then mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement.
 
Depending on the Company’s total indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, the interest rate margin on the Facility will, at the Company’s election, range from 3.00% to 4.25% over LIBOR, or 2.00% to 3.25% over Scotiabank’s Base Rate in Canada. The Facility is subject to standby fees and interest is currently payable at the rate of 3.23% per annum.
 
The availability of the Facility is subject to various qualitative and quantitative covenants, including a current ratio, a debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, interest service coverage ratio and a tangible net worth calculation. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as at September 30, 2014. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, SilverCrest incurred $297,167 (2013 - $Nil) in interest expense under the Facility, of which $214,660 (2013 - $Nil) was capitalized to Santa Elena Mine EIP and $82,507 (2013 - $Nil) was included in “Finance costs” in the statements of operations. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, standby fees on the Facility amounted to $138,568 (2013 - $Nil) which in included in Finance costs.
 
In fiscal 2013, the Company deferred $514,758 of incremental costs associated with the set-up of the Facility. These costs are being amortized over the three year term of the Facility. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company amortized $128,337, which is included in Finance costs. The unamortized portion, amounting to $305,094, is included in “Deferred finance costs” on the consolidated statement of financial position.

19.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments carrying value and fair value
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, taxes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, taxes payable and the credit facility. Fair value is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair values of amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the credit facility approximate their carrying values due to the short term to maturities of these financial instruments.
 
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs.
 

 
20.    INCOME TAXES
 
The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
 
   
September 30, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
Mexico operations
           
Deferred tax assets:
           
Non-Capital losses
  $ 406,000     $ 229,000  
Asset retirement obligations
    1,433,000       1,376,000  
Deferred tax liabilities:
               
Property, plant and equipment
    (7,167,000 )     (7,589,000 )
Exploration and evaluation assets
    (2,939,000 )     (2,594,000 )
Deferred revenue
    (3,000,000 )     -  
Inventory
    (337,000 )     (465,000 )
Defered tax liabilities, net
  $ (11,604,000 )   $ (9,043,000 )
 
Current income tax recovery (expense) for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $3,092,000 (2013 - ($1,153,000)) and $370,000 (2013 – ($3,870,000)), respectively.
 
The income tax recovery arises primarily from taking tax deductions for mine development and commissioning costs incurred at Santa Elena during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. These 2014 income tax deductions give rise to significant differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective Mexican tax bases. The deferred tax expenses amounted to $3,278,000 (2013 - $3,092,000) for the three months and $2,561,000 (2013 – $1,998,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
