1.Nature of Operations and going concern

 

Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (“Mountain Province” and together with its subsidiaries collectively, the “Company”) was incorporated on December 2, 1986 under the British Columbia Company Act. The Company amended its articles and continued incorporation under the Ontario Business Corporations Act effective May 8, 2006. The Company holds a 49% interest in the operating Gahcho Kué Project (“Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine” or “GK Mine” or “GK Project”) in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The Company also owns 100% of the mineral rights of the Kennady North Project (“KNP”).

 

The address of the Company’s registered office and its principal place of business is 161 Bay Street, Suite 1410, PO Box 216, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5J 2S1. The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol ‘MPVD’. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was also listed on the NASDAQ under the same symbol. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company voluntarily delisted its common shares from the NASDAQ.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of preparation which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may face liquidity challenges primarily resulting from the deferral of the periodic normal sales carried out in Antwerp, Belgium. While the Company continues to carry out direct sales on a limited basis, the risk of decreased sales volumes, particularly in the months of June and July 2020, along with the negative impact on realized diamond prices will significantly reduce 2020 expected revenues as compared to the 2020 revenues the Company expected prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company has drawn US$25 million from its US$50 million revolving credit facility agreement (“RCF”). The Company is subject to certain financial covenants on its outstanding senior secured notes and RCF which each include cross-covenant default terms. The uncertainty that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused over potential diamond sales in the near-term, particularly in June and July 2020, along with these financial covenants discussed, may result in an event of default under the terms of these debt instruments.

 

Management expects the Company will seek additional waivers or amendments from the lenders as to the financial covenants included. There are no assurances the lenders will provide further waivers or future amendments the Company may seek. If the Company is unable to comply with the financial covenants, and is not successful in obtaining suitable waivers or amendments, it would result in an event of default, and the outstanding balances could become payable on demand. Further, management may seek alternative sources of financing, however, such alternative sources of financing may not be available or at terms acceptable to the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that results in substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include the adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.

 

The underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown as “Property, Plant and Equipment” (Note 7) are dependent upon future profitable production and proceeds from disposition of the Company’s mineral properties.

Authorization of Financial Statements

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 6, 2020.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 except for changes indicated in Note 3 (i).

 

These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of equity securities and derivative assets and liabilities and are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mountain Province and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:

·2435572 Ontario Inc. (100% owned)
·2435386 Ontario Inc. (100% owned by 2435572 Ontario Inc.)
·Kennady Diamonds Inc. (100% owned)

 

The Company’s interest in the GK Mine is held through 2435386 Ontario Inc. All intercompany balances, transactions, income, expenses, profits and losses, including unrealized gains and losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

The Company has determined that its interest in the GK Mine through its joint arrangement is a joint operation under IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, and, accordingly has recorded the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to its interest in the joint operation. The Company’s interest in the GK Mine is bound by a contractual arrangement establishing joint control over the mine through required unanimous consent of the Company and De Beers Canada Inc. (“De Beers” or the “Operator”, and together with the Company, the “Participants”) for strategic, financial and operating policies of the GK Mine. The GK Mine management committee has two representatives of each of the Company and De Beers. The Participants have appointed De Beers as the operator of the GK Mine.

 

3.Significant accounting policies

 

(i)New accounting policies adopted in the current period

 

Conceptual Framework

 

On March 29, 2018 the IASB issued amendments to references to conceptual frameworks in IFRS Standards. These amendments are effective January 1, 2020. Upon adoption of the modified conceptual frameworks, there was no material impact to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

4.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ materially from these estimates. The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies were the same as those that applied to the audited financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the following summarized below:

(i)Significant judgments in applying accounting policies

The areas which require management to make significant judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies are:

a)       Impairment analysis – property, plant and equipment and evaluation and exploration assets

 

As required under IAS 36 and IFRS 6, the Company reviews its property, plant and equipment and its evaluation and exploration assets for impairment based on results to date and when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company is required to make certain judgments in assessing indicators of impairment. The Company’s assessment was that as at March 31, 2020 no indicator of an impairment in the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment and evaluation and exploration assets had occurred. The Company assessed for impairment as at December 31, 2019, and recorded an impairment to property, plant and equipment of $115.8 million.

8.secured notes payable

 

On December 11, 2017, the Company completed an offering of US$330 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, secured by a second-ranking lien on all present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company. The secured notes were sold at 97.992% of par, resulting in total proceeds of US$323.4 million. The secured notes pay interest in semi-annual instalments on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2018, at a rate of 8.00% per annum, and mature on December 15, 2022. The indenture governing the secured notes contains certain restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividend payments and other restricted payments, and create certain liens, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The restrictive covenant on the Company’s ability to pay potential future dividends relates to a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 2:1. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as EBITDA over interest expense. Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the amount of the restricted payments, which include dividends and share buybacks, is limited to a maximum dollar threshold, which is calculated at an opening basket of US$10 million plus 50% of the historical consolidated net income, subject to certain adjustments, reported from the quarter of issuance and up to the most recently available financial statements at the time of such restricted payment, plus an amount not to exceed the greater of US$15 million and 2% of total assets as defined in the indenture.

 

As at March 31, 2020, the Company has an obligation for US$299.9 million or $421.8 million Canadian dollar equivalent from the secured notes payable (December 31, 2019 -US$299.9 million or $389.3 million).

Revolving Credit Facility

Concurrent with the closing of the Notes offering, the Company entered into a US$50 million first ranking lien revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) with the Bank of Nova Scotia and Nedbank Ltd. in order to maintain a liquidity cushion for general corporate purposes. The RCF has a term of three years and the Company is subject to a quarterly commitment fee of between 0.9625% and 1.2375%, depending on certain leverage ratio calculations at the time. Upon drawing on the RCF, an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% to 4.5% per annum is charged for the number of days the funds are outstanding, based on certain leverage ratio calculations at the time. As at March 31, 2020, the RCF remained undrawn. The RCF is subject to several financial covenants, in order to remain available. The following financial covenants are calculated on a quarterly basis, of which the first three are required to be met, in order for the RCF to remain available:

  • Total leverage ratio of less than or equal to 4.50:1 calculated as total debt divided by EBITDA, up to and including March 31, 2020; 5:1 from April 1, 2020 up to and including June 30, 2020; and 4.25 thereafter until the maturity date. EBITDA in the RCF is defined as net earnings, plus, but only to the extent deducted in calculating net earnings (i) interest, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, non-cash expenses and losses, and (iv) amortization, excluding however any unusual items.
  • A ratio of EBITDA to interest expense no less than 2.25:1
  • A tangible net worth that is no less than 75% of the tangible net worth as reflected in the September 30, 2017 financial statements provided to the administrative agent as a condition precedent to closing, plus 50% of the positive net income for each subsequent quarter date.
  • The Company shall not make any distributions other than regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal related to the secured notes payable.

 

The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in order for US$25 million to remain available as at March 31, 2020.

 

The Company is limited to draw the RCF to a maximum of US$25 million until June 30, 2020. If the total leverage ratio is below 4.25:1 from July 1, 2020 onward, the full US$50 million facility would remain available.

 

Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company drew US$25 million from the RCF in order to maintain the liquidity of the business during the challenges faced by COVID-19.

10.SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
i.Authorized share capital

Unlimited common shares, without par value.

ii.Share capital

The number of common shares issued and fully paid as at March 31, 2020 is 210,392,473.

 

No dividends were declared and paid in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

iii.Stock options, RSUs, DSUs and share-based payments reserve

On June 13, 2019, the Company, through its Board of Directors and shareholders, adopted a long-term equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) which, among other things, allows for the maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan to be 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at the time of the grant. The Board of Directors has the authority and discretion to grant stock option, RSU and DSU awards within the limits identified in the Plan, which includes provisions limiting the issuance of options to qualified persons and employees of the Company to maximums identified in the Plan.

 

As at March 31, 2020, the aggregate maximum number of shares pursuant to options granted under the Plan will not exceed 21,039,247 shares, and there were 16,455,912 shares available to be issued under the Plan. All stock options are settled by the issuance of common shares.

 

The following table summarizes information about the stock options outstanding and exercisable:

 

             
   Three months ended March 31, 2020  Year ended December 31, 2019
   Number of options  Weighted average exercise price  Number of options  Weighted average exercise price

The fair value of the stock options granted have been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions are presented below for options granted during the December 31, 2019 period. Expected volatility is calculated by reference to the weekly closing share price for a period that reflects the expected life of the options. The 1,090,000 stock options issued on December 27, 2019 vest 1/3 on December 27, 2020, 1/3 on December 27, 2021 and 1/3 on December 27, 2022. The 200,000 stock options issued on June 30, 2018 vest 1/3 on July 1, 2019, 1/3 on July 1, 2020 and 1/3 on July 1, 2021. The 40,000 stock options issued on June 30, 2018 vest 1/2 on July 1, 2019 and 1/2 on July 1, 2020.

 

  December 31,
  2019
Exercise price $1.30
Expected volatility 43.33%
Expected option life  5 years
Contractual option life 5 years
Expected forfeiture  none 
Expected option cancellation  none 
Expected dividend yield 0%
Risk-free interest rate  1.64%

 

The following tables reflect the number of stock options outstanding, the weighted average of stock options outstanding, and the exercise price of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2020. The Black-Scholes values are measured at the grant date.

   $3,542    3,518,335    1,972,223   $3.26 

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at March 31, 2020 is 2.62 years (December 31 2019 - 2.86 years).

 

The restricted and deferred share unit plans are full value phantom shares that mirror the value of the Company’s publicly traded common shares. Grants under the RSU and DSU plan are made on a discretionary basis to qualified persons and employees of the Company subject to the Board of Directors’ approval. Under the RSU and DSU plan, RSUs vest according to the terms set out in the award agreement which are determined on an individual basis at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Vesting under the RSU and DSU plan is subject to special rules for death, disability and change in control. The awards can be settled through issuance of common shares or paid in cash, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. These awards are accounted for as equity settled RSUs.

Balance at end of the period*   1,065,000   $1.31    1,065,000   $1.31 

 

*As at March 31, 2020, 16,667 RSUs (2019, 16,667 RSUs) at a weighted average value of $3.90 have vested and have not yet been settled.

 

No DSU awards have been granted to date, therefore as at March 31, 2020 there are no DSUs outstanding.

 

The share-based payments recognized as an expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

12.Derivative assets and liabilities

 

The senior secured notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives and are outlined below. The Company may redeem the secured notes:

·in whole or in part at any time during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 104% of the principal amount of the secured notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption;
·in whole or in part at any time during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15, 2020 at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the secured notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; and
·in whole or in part at any time during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15, 2021 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the secured notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward swap contracts to mitigate the risk that a devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would reduce the Canadian dollar equivalent of the U.S. dollar sales proceeds and the Company would not have sufficient Canadian dollar funds to contribute to the operations of the GK Mine.

 

These derivatives have been classified as “non-hedge derivatives”. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward swap contracts are recognized in net income or loss as gains or losses on derivatives.

13.Financial instruments

 

Fair value measurement

 

The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in accordance with a fair value hierarchy. 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 fair values of the amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Fair values of assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 are valued using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models. These models require a variety of observable inputs including market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads. These inputs are obtained from or verified with the market where possible. The financial assets relate to the embedded derivative assets, which are prepayment options on the secured notes payable (Note 8).

Derivative instruments are valued using DCF models. These models require a variety of observable inputs including market prices, forward price curves and yield curves. These inputs are obtained from or verified with the market where possible.

 

The fair value of the secured notes payable is determined using market quoted prices.

The Company’s related parties include the Operator of the GK Mine, Dermot Desmond and Vertigol Unlimited Company (“Vertigol”) (corporations ultimately beneficially owned by Dermot Desmond), key management and their close family members, and the Company’s directors. Dermot Desmond, indirectly through Vertigol, is the ultimate beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the Company’s shares. Underwriting Unlimited (“IIU”) is also a related party since it is ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Dermot Desmond.

 

Related party transactions are recorded at their exchange amount, being the amount agreed to by the parties.

 

The Company had the following transactions and balances with its related parties including key management personnel including the Company’s directors, Dermot Desmond, Vertigol, IIU and the Operator of the GK Mine. The transactions with key management personnel are in the nature of remuneration. The transactions with the Operator of the GK Mine relate to the funding of the Company’s interest in the GK Mine for the current year’s expenditures, capital additions, management fee, and production sales related to the 49% share of fancies and special diamonds. The transactions with IIU are for the director fees of the Chairman of the Company.

 

Between 2014 and 2018, the Company and De Beers signed agreements allowing De Beers (“the Operator”) to utilize De Beers’ credit facilities to issue reclamation and restoration security deposits to the federal and territorial governments. In accordance with these agreements, the Company agreed to a 3% fee annually for their share of the letters of credit issued. As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s share of the letters of credit issued were $23.3 million (2019 - $23.3 million).

 

During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company and De Beers signed an agreement to reduce the fee from 3% to 0.3%, annually, for their share of the letters of credit issued. Furthermore, on the same day, a resolution was passed by the joint venture management committee to establish a decommissioning fund, where the Company will fund $15 million in 2020, and $10 million for four years thereafter until the Company’s 49% share totaling $55 million is fully funded. The targeting funding over time will increase, dependent on future increases to the decommissioning and restoration liability.

16.SEGMENTED REPORTING

 

The reportable operating segments are those operations for which operating results are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer who is the chief operating decision maker regarding decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess performance provided those operations pass certain quantitative thresholds. Operations with revenues, earnings or losses or assets that exceed 10% of total consolidated revenue, earnings or losses or assets are reportable segments.
