1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Denison Mines Corp. (“DMC”) and its subsidiary companies and joint arrangements (collectively, “Denison” or the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining related activities, which can include acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing and selling of uranium.
 
The Company has a 90.00% interest in the Wheeler River Joint Venture (“WRJV”), a 65.92% interest in the Waterbury Lake Limited Partnership (“WLULP”), a 22.50% interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture (“MLJV”) (which includes the McClean Lake mill) and a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Joint Venture (“MWJV”), each of which are located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The McClean Lake mill provides toll milling services to the Cigar Lake Joint Venture (“CLJV”) under the terms of a toll milling agreement between the parties (see note 12). In addition, the Company has varying ownership interests in a number of other development and exploration projects located in Canada.
 
The Company provides mine decommissioning and environmental consulting services (collectively “environmental services”) to third parties through its Denison Environmental Services (“DES”) division and is also the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives fees for management services and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.
 
DMC is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered head office is 40 University Avenue, Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 1T1.
 
 
2.
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
 
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars.
 
These financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on May 1, 2019.
 
 
3.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Changes in Fiscal 2019
 
The significant accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, with the exception of the Company’s accounting for leases.
 
On January 1, 2019, Denison adopted the provisions of IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) using the modified retrospective approach. As such, comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under International Accounting Standard 17 Leases (“IAS 17”) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”). The transitional impact of the change in accounting policy is disclosed in note 4 and additional disclosures related to Denison’s IFRS 16 right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are disclosed in notes 11 and 15, respectively. Denison’s new accounting policy for leases is as follows:
 

 
 
 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
A.
Leases
 
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: (a) the Company has the right to operate the asset; or (b) the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
 
If the contract contains a lease, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are set-up at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. The lease payments are discounted using either the interest rate implicit in the lease, if available, or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost (i.e. accretion) so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining lease liability balance. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components separately. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
 
 
4.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – IMPACT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
As noted above, Denison adopted the provisions of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized an additional $944,000 of right-of-use assets (reported within “Property, Plant and Equipment” – see note 11) and an additional $944,000 of lease liabilities (reported within “Other Liabilities” – see note 15).
 
The underlying lease payments have been discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 of 8.50%. In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, Denison has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: a) leases with a term of less than 12 months remaining at January 1, 2019 have been accounted for as short-term leases; and b) initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application have been excluded.
 
A reconciliation of Denison’s December 31, 2018 lease commitments to its opening lease liabilities amount recognized under IFRS 16 is as follows:

At March 31, 2019, Denison holds an approximate 16.20% interest in GoviEx based on publicly available information (December 31, 2018: 16.21%) and has one director appointed to the GoviEx board of directors. Through the extent of its share ownership interest and its seat on the board of directors, Denison has the ability to exercise significant influence over GoviEx and accordingly, is using the equity method to account for this investment.
 
The trading price of GoviEx on March 31, 2019 was $0.16 per share which corresponds to a quoted market value of $10,423,000 (December 31, 2018: $9,772,000) for the Company’s investment in GoviEx common shares.
 
The following table is a summary of the consolidated financial information of GoviEx on a 100% basis taking into account adjustments made by Denison for equity accounting purposes for fair value adjustments and differences in accounting policy. Denison records its equity investment entries in GoviEx one quarter in arrears (due to the information not yet being publicly available), adjusted for any material publicly disclosed share issuance transactions that have occurred. A reconciliation of GoviEx’s summarized information to Denison’s investment carrying value is also included.

Arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group (“APG”) PLC
 
In February 2017, Denison closed an arrangement with APG under which Denison received an upfront payment in exchange for its right to receive specified future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV under the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV from July 1, 2016 onwards. The APG Arrangement represents a contractual obligation of Denison to pay onward to APG any cash proceeds of future toll milling revenue earned by the Company related to the processing of specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has recognized $1,263,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 4,863,000 pounds U308 (100% basis). The drawdown for the three months includes a retroactive $26,000 increase in revenue resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate in the first quarter of 2019.

Letters of Credit Facility
 
In January 2019, the Company entered into an amending agreement for its letters of credit facility with BNS (the “2019 facility”). Under the amendment, the maturity date of the 2019 facility has been extended to January 31, 2020. All other terms of the 2019 facility (tangible net worth covenant, pledged cash, investment amounts and security for the facility) remain unchanged from those of the 2018 facility. The 2019 facility continues to provide the Company with access to credit up to $24,000,000 (the use of which is restricted to non-financial letters of credit in support of reclamation obligations) subject to letter of credit and standby fees of 2.40% (0.40% on the first $9,000,000) and 0.75% respectively.
 
At March 31, 2019, the Company is in compliance with its facility covenants and $24,000,000 (December 31, 2018: $24,000,000) of the facility is being utilized as collateral for letters of credit issued in respect of the reclamation obligations for the MLJV and MWJV. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred letter of credit fees of $98,000.

Share Cancellations
 
In February 2019, 46,178 shares were cancelled in connection with the January 2013 acquisition of JNR Resources Inc (“JNR”). JNR shareholders were entitled to exchange their JNR shares for shares of Denison in accordance with the share exchange ratio established for the acquisition. In January 2019, this right expired and the un-exchanged shares for which shareholders had not elected to exercise their exchange rights were subsequently cancelled.
 
Flow-Through Share Issues
 
The Company finances a portion of its exploration programs through the use of flow-through share issuances. Canadian income tax deductions relating to these expenditures are claimable by the investors and not by the Company.
 
As at March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that it has incurred $3,965,000 of its obligation to spend $5,000,000 on eligible exploration expenditures as a result of the issuance of flow-through shares in November 2018. The Company renounced the income tax benefits of this issue in February 2019, with an effective date of renunciation to its subscribers of December 31, 2018. In conjunction with the renunciation, the flow-through share premium liability at December 31, 2018 has been extinguished and a deferred tax recovery has been recognized in the first quarter of 2019 (see notes 15 and 23).

Share Units
 
The Company has a share unit plan which provides for the granting of share unit awards to directors, officers and employees of the Company. Under the plan, all share unit grants, vesting periods and performance conditions therein are approved by the Company’s board of directors. Share unit grants are either in the form of RSUs or PSUs. RSUs granted in 2018 and 2019 to-date, vest ratably over a period of three years. PSUs granted in 2018 vest ratably over a period of five years, based upon the achievement of the performance vesting conditions – no PSUs had been granted in 2019 as at March 31, 2019.

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Uranium Participation Corporation
 
The previous management services agreement with UPC expired on March 31, 2019. Effective April 1, 2019, a new management services agreement (“MSA”) was entered into for a term of five years (the “Term”). Under the MSA, Denison continues to receive the following management fees from UPC, unchanged from the previous agreement: a) a base fee of $400,000 per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments; b) a variable fee equal to (i) 0.3% per annum of UPC’s total assets in excess of $100 million and up to and including $500 million, and (ii) 0.2% per annum of UPC’s total assets in excess of $500 million; c) a fee, at the discretion of the Board, for on-going monitoring or work associated with a transaction or arrangement (other than a financing, or the acquisition of or sale of U3O8 or UF6); and d) a commission of 1.0% of the gross value of any purchases or sales of U3O8 or UF6 or gross interest fees payable to UPC in connection with any uranium loan arrangements.
 
The MSA may be terminated during the Term by Denison upon the provision of 180 days written notice. The MSA may be terminated during the Term by UPC (i) in the event of a material breach, (ii) within 90 days of certain events surrounding a change of both of the individuals serving as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of UPC, and / or a change of control of Denison, or (iii) upon the provision of 30 days written notice and, subject to certain exceptions, a cash payment to Denison of an amount equal to the base and variable management fees that would otherwise be payable to Denison (calculated based on UPC’s current uranium holdings at the time of termination) for the lesser period of a) three years, or b) the remaining term of the MSA.

 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
24. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 
The fair value of financial instruments which trade in active markets, such as share and warrant equity instruments, is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used to value financial assets held by the Company is the current closing price. Warrants that do not trade in active markets have been valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Debt instruments have been valued using the effective interest rate for the period that the Company expects to hold the instrument and not the rate to maturity.
 
Except as otherwise disclosed, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, restricted cash and cash equivalents and debt obligations approximate their carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments, or the variable interest rate associated with the instruments, or the fixed interest rate of the instruments being similar to market rates.
 
The following table illustrates the classification of the Company’s financial assets within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

25. CONTINGENCIES
 
Specific Legal Matters
 
Mongolia Mining Division Sale – Arbitration Proceedings with Uranium Industry
 
In November 2015, the Company sold all of its mining assets and operations located in Mongolia to Uranium Industry a.s (“UI”) pursuant to an amended and restated share purchase agreement (the “GSJV Agreement”). The primary assets at that time were the exploration licenses for the Hairhan, Haraat, Gurvan Saihan and Ulzit projects. As consideration for the sale per the GSJV Agreement, the Company received cash consideration of USD$1,250,000 prior to closing and the rights to receive additional contingent consideration of up to USD$12,000,000.
 

 
 
 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
On September 20, 2016, the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia (“MRAM”) formally issued mining license certificates for all four projects, triggering Denison’s right to receive contingent consideration of USD$10,000,000 (collectively, the “Mining License Receivable”). The original due date for payment of the Mining License Receivable by UI was November 16, 2016.
 
Under an extension agreement between UI and the Company, the payment due date of the Mining License Receivable was extended from November 16, 2016 to July 16, 2017 (the “Extension Agreement”). As consideration for the extension, UI agreed to pay interest on the Mining License Receivable amount at a rate of 5% per year, payable monthly up to July 16, 2017 and they also agreed to pay a USD$100,000 instalment amount towards the balance of the Mining License Receivable amount. The required payments were not made.
 
On February 24, 2017, the Company served notice to UI that it was in default of its obligations under the GSJV Agreement and the Extension Agreement and that the Mining License Receivable and all interest payable thereon are immediately due and payable.
 
On December 12, 2017, the Company filed a Request for Arbitration between the Company and UI under the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration in conjunction with the default of UI’s obligations under the GSJV and Extension agreements. The three person arbitration panel was appointed on February 28, 2018, and formal submissions have been made by each party. As of the date hereof, arbitration proceedings are continuing with hearings scheduled for Q4 2019.
