1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (“the Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Turquoise Hill”), is an international mining company focused on copper, gold and coal mines in the Asia Pacific region.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business operations. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

As at September 30, 2013, Turquoise Hill had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $102.5 million, a consolidated working capital deficiency of $1.9 billion and an accumulated deficit of $4.9 billion. The consolidated working capital deficiency is largely a result of classifying the $2.0 billion aggregate amount due to majority shareholder Rio Tinto plc (“Rio Tinto”) under the interim funding facility and the New Bridge Facility (Note 10) as a current liability.

In 2010, Rio Tinto provided the Company with a $1.8 billion interim funding facility to assist in sustaining the development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine. The interim funding facility had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2013 and is subject to earlier mandatory repayment from the expected proceeds of the first drawdown under the planned Oyu Tolgoi project-financing package.

On August 7, 2013, the Company signed a binding term sheet with Rio Tinto for a new funding package, including a New Bridge Facility (Note 10 (b)). Under the New Bridge Facility, Rio Tinto provided the Company with a secured $600 million bridge funding facility that had an original maturity date of December 31, 2013. The facility was initially used to refinance amounts outstanding under the Short-Term Bridge Facility (Note 10 (b)) and thereafter is being used for the continued ramp up of phase one of the Oyu Tolgoi mine’s development.

Under the terms of the 2013 Memorandum of Agreements entered into with Rio Tinto in connection with the New Bridge Facility (the “2013 MOA”, in the event that the Oyu Tolgoi project financing funds are not available to repay the New Bridge Facility and the $1.8 billion interim funding facility by their respective maturity dates, the Company is obligated to launch a rights offering, with a standby commitment from Rio Tinto, originally to close by the end of 2013, the proceeds of which would be used to repay both facilities. To allow for completion of a rights offering, Rio Tinto and the Company have agreed to amend the 2013 MOA and to extend the latest date by which the rights offering must be completed to January 13, 2014 (although the Company has agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to close the rights offering as soon as practicable) and, correspondingly, to extend the maturity dates of the interim funding facility and the New Bridge Facility to the earlier of the second business day following the rights offering closing date and January 15, 2014.

On November 1, 2013, the Company announced that it has completed the divestment of the entirety of its interest in Inova Resources Limited to Shanxi Donghui Coking & Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. for approximately $85 million in cash (Note 4). These funds are expected to be received in November 2013.

The Company believes that based on its current cash position, the availability of components of the new funding package, cash generated from the operation of the Oyu Tolgoi mine, the value of investments in publicly-traded subsidiaries and the planned project financing package, it will have sufficient funds to meet its minimum obligations, including general corporate activities, for at least the next 12 months.

2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 have been restated to correct errors identified subsequent to the original issuance of the financial statements for those periods, as more fully described below.

 

  (a) Correction of errors related to SouthGobi revenue recognition

The Company has determined that certain revenue transactions of SouthGobi were previously recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prior to meeting relevant revenue recognition criteria. The restatement is due to a change in the determination of when revenue should be recognized from its sales of coal previously recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the full year ended December 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012. The affected transactions relate to sales contracts which specify the location of title transfer as the customer’s stockpile, which is located in a yard within the Ovoot Tolgoi mine’s mining license area. During the affected periods, revenue for such sales was recognized upon delivery of coal to the customer’s stockpile. The restated consolidated financial statements reflect a correction in the point of revenue recognition from the delivery of coal to the customer’s stockpile to loading the coal onto the customer’s trucks at the time of collection.

 

  (b) Correction of error related to withholding taxes on intercompany interest

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company identified and recorded $7.6 million and $20.7 million of accrued withholding taxes on intercompany interest that arose in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 but were not identified and recorded in those periods. In conjunction with the restatement described in (a) above, the Company has made adjustments to reflect the withholding taxes in the proper periods.

The following tables represent the impact of these matters on the previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, as well as the reclassification of Inova’s assets and liabilities as held for sale and the operations of Inova as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 4.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a) Basis of preparation

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accounting policies followed in preparing these consolidated financial statements are those used by the Company as set out in the audited restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included for annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited restated consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2013 and for all periods presented, have been included in these financial statements. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending December 31, 2013, or future operating periods. For further information, see the Company’s annual restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, including the accounting policies and notes thereto.

The Company has five segments: Oyu Tolgoi LLC (66.0% owned) (“Oyu Tolgoi”) with its copper-gold mine in southern Mongolia; Inova Resources Limited (56.1% owned) (“Inova”) (formerly Ivanhoe Australia Limited) with its copper-gold operations, development activities and exploration activities in Australia; SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (57.0% owned) (“SouthGobi”) with its coal operations and exploration activities in Mongolia; other exploration with projects primarily in Mongolia and Indonesia; and the Company’s corporate division.

References to “Cdn$” refer to Canadian currency, “Aud$” to Australian currency, and “$” to United States currency.

 

  (b) Comparative figures

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation as at and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013. In particular, $23.9 million and $55.2 million have been reclassified from exploration and evaluation to other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 respectively and $2.3 million has been reclassified from cost of sales to write-down of carrying value of property, plant and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

  (c) Accounting changes

 

    In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance was updated to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements: (i) the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and (ii) the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013.

 

  (d) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

    In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued to clarify foreign currency matters as they relate to the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014.

 

    In June 2013, ASC guidance was updated to amend the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements associated with investment companies. The updated guidance becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014.

 

    In July 2013, ASC guidance was updated to clarify the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward exists. The updated guidance provides that an unrecognized tax benefit should generally be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards. The updated guidance becomes effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015.

The Company has not assessed the impact, if any, of the standards that become effective January 1, 2014 or later.

 

4. DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell its investment in Inova in conjunction with a proposed bid by the Shanxi Donghui Coal Coking & Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. (“Shanxi”) to acquire the majority of shares of Inova for Aud$0.22 cash per share (the “Takeover Offer”). As at September 30, 2013, the Takeover Offer was subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals and a 51% minimum acceptance condition. On November 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of all of its shares of Inova to Shanxi for approximately $85 million (Aud$90 million) in cash. These funds are expected to be received in November 2013.

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary Inova are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and the operations and cash flows of Inova are presented, for all periods, as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively.

  (i) At September 30, 2013, the Company held 9.1 million freely tradeable Class A common shares of Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (“Ivanhoe”) (formerly Ivanplats Limited) and a further 10.7 million Class A common shares that are subject to certain trading restrictions that expire by September 30, 2014 (Note 6 (c)(i)). The freely tradeable Class A common shares were valued based on their quoted market price. Whereas, a liquidity discount was applied to this quoted market price to value the Class A common shares that are subject to trading restrictions.

  (c) Other equity securities, cost method (continued)

 

  (i) In September 2012, Ivanhoe completed a reorganization whereby all 33.5 million Ivanhoe common shares held by the Company were reclassified to Class B common shares. The reclassification preserved the Company’s existing shareholder rights, but imposed a restriction on transferability that inhibited liquidity until such time as the Class B common shares were converted to Class A common shares. The Company accelerated the conversion of the Class B common shares by signing a Lock-up Agreement with Ivanhoe in April 2013. Otherwise, the conversion would have occurred automatically 39 months after the completion of Ivanhoe’s initial public offering, which was completed on October 23, 2012. Upon signing the Lock-up Agreement, the Class B common shares automatically converted to Class A common shares and became subject to certain restrictions on disposition. These trading restrictions are gradually lifted over a 33 month period commencing April 23, 2013.

As at September 30, 2013, 16.1 million Class A common shares had been transferred from cost method investments to available-for-sale equity securities (Note 6 (b)(i)). The transferred Class A common shares consists of 5.4 million Class A common shares with no trading restrictions and a further 10.7 million Class A common shares with trading restrictions that expire by September 30, 2014.

As at September 30, 2013, the Company held a further 17.4 million Class A common shares with trading restrictions exceeding one year, which are classified as a cost method investment because they do not have a readily determinable fair value.

On October 20, 2009, Turquoise Hill purchased a Treasury Bill (“T-Bill”) from the Mongolian Government, having a face value of $115.0 million, for $100.0 million. The annual rate of interest on the T-Bill was set at 3.0%. The maturity date of the T-Bill is October 20, 2014.

Turquoise Hill made tax prepayments to the Mongolian Government of $50.0 million and $100.0 million on April 7, 2010 and June 7, 2011 respectively. The after-tax rate of interest on the tax prepayments is 1.59% compounding annually. Unless already off-set fully against Mongolian taxes, the Mongolian Government is required to repay any remaining tax prepayment balance, including accrued interest, on the fifth anniversary of the date the tax prepayment was made.

7. OTHER LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

Turquoise Hill has designated the T-Bill and tax prepayments as available-for-sale investments because they were not purchased with the intent of selling them in the near term and Turquoise Hill’s intention to hold them to maturity is uncertain. The fair values of the T-Bill and tax prepayments are estimated based on available public information regarding what market participants would consider for such investments. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale investments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Turquoise Hill has used a discounted cash flow approach to value the T-Bill and tax prepayments incorporating the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     T-Bill     Tax Prepayments  
     September 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
    September 30,
2013

Term

     1.1 years        1.8 years        2.0 years        0.3 years   

Based on the discounted cash flow models as at September 30, 2013, the fair values of the T-Bill and tax prepayments were estimated at $107.8 million and $143.4 million respectively. As a result of these valuations, Turquoise Hill recorded an unrealized loss of $1.0 million (2012 – $14.8 million unrealized gain) on the T-Bill and an unrealized loss of $12.6 million (2012 – $15.2 million unrealized gain) on the tax prepayments in accumulated other comprehensive income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.

9. CONVERTIBLE CREDIT FACILITY (Continued)

 

On November 19, 2009, SouthGobi issued a convertible debenture to a wholly owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation (“CIC”) for $500.0 million. The convertible debenture bears interest at 8.0% (6.4% payable semi-annually in cash and 1.6% payable annually in shares of SouthGobi) and has a term of 30 years. A first charge over SouthGobi’s assets, including the shares of its material subsidiaries, is pledged as collateral against the convertible debenture. An event of default on the convertible debenture can be triggered as a result of certain encumbrances on SouthGobi’s assets (Note 20).

SouthGobi expects to file restated financial statements and the related MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 as soon as possible. Any delay in filing these items could ultimately result in an event of default of SouthGobi’s convertible debenture held by CIC, which if not cured within applicable cure periods in accordance with the terms of such debenture, may result in the principal amount owing and all accrued and unpaid interest becoming immediately due and payable upon notice to SouthGobi by CIC.

Pursuant to the convertible debentures’ terms, SouthGobi had the right to call for the conversion of up to $250.0 million of the convertible debenture upon SouthGobi achieving a public float of 25.0% of its common shares under certain agreed circumstances. On March 29, 2010, SouthGobi exercised this right and completed the conversion of $250.0 million of the convertible debenture into 21.5 million shares at a conversion price of $11.64 (Cdn$11.88).

CIC has the right to convert the debenture, in whole or in part, into common shares of SouthGobi from November 19, 2010 onwards. After November 19, 2014, SouthGobi is entitled to convert the debenture, in whole or in part, into its common shares at the conversion price if the conversion price is at least Cdn$10.66. The conversion price is the lower of Cdn$11.88 or the 50-day volume-weighted average price at the date of conversion, subject to a floor price of Cdn$8.88 per share.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, SouthGobi and CIC mutually agreed upon a three month deferral of the convertible debenture’s semi-annual $7.9 million cash interest payment due on May 19, 2013. Subsequently, SouthGobi and CIC agreed to an additional deferral of one month, and the cash interest payment was settled on September 19, 2013.

As at September 30, 2013, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability associated with the remaining $250.0 million principal outstanding was determined to be $4.7 million (December 31, 2012 - $8.9 million). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, Turquoise Hill recognized a gain of $4.2 million (2012 - $38.9 million) as a result of the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, Turquoise Hill capitalized $nil (2012 - $9.4 million) of interest expense incurred on the convertible credit facility.

The embedded derivative liability was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model is a valuation model that relies on random sampling and is often used when modeling systems with a large number of inputs and where there is significant uncertainty in the future value of inputs and where the movement in the inputs can be independent of each other. Some of the key inputs used by the Monte Carlo simulation include: floor and ceiling conversion prices, SouthGobi’s share price, expected volatility of SouthGobi’s share price, risk-free rate of return, spot Cdn$ exchange rates and forward Cdn$ exchange rate curves.

10. INTERIM AND BRIDGE FUNDING FACILITIES

 

  (a) Interim Funding Facility

In December 2010, Rio Tinto provided the Company with an initial, non-revolving interim funding facility of $1.8 billion to assist in sustaining the development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine. The interim funding facility matures on December 31, 2013, subject to earlier mandatory prepayment of all amounts from the proceeds of the first drawdown under the planned Oyu Tolgoi project-financing package.

As at September 30, 2013, a total of approximately $1.8 billion (December 31, 2012—$1.8 billion) had been drawn on the interim funding facility.

Amounts advanced to the Company under the interim funding facility bear interest at the weighted average rate of return earned by the Company on the aggregate interim funding facility proceeds advanced to Oyu Tolgoi. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, the interim funding facility’s effective annual interest rate equaled 90% of the sum of the three-month LIBOR and 6.5%. Any interest and fees incurred under the interim funding facility are subject to a gross-up for applicable withholdings taxes.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, interest expense of $92.6 million (2012 - $69.6 million), including a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes, was incurred on the interim funding facility, of which $87.3 million (2012 - $69.6 million) was capitalized as Oyu Tolgoi mine development costs.

 

  (b) Short-Term Bridge Facility and New Bridge Facility

On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with majority shareholder Rio Tinto for a non-revolving bridge facility for up to $225 million (Short-Term Bridge Facility). Amounts drawn under the Short-Term Bridge Facility have been fully repaid.

Amounts advanced to the Company under the Short-Term Bridge Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 5%. Interest and fees incurred under the Short-Term Bridge Facility were subject to a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes.

10. INTERIM AND BRIDGE FUNDING FACILITIES (Continued)

 

  (b) Short-Term Bridge Facility and New Bridge Facility (continued)

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, a front end fee of $1.3 million, interest of $0.9 million and commitment fees of $0.6 million, each inclusive of a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes, were incurred on the Short-Term Bridge Facility, of which $2.4 million was capitalized as Oyu Tolgoi mine development costs.

On August 7, 2013, the Company signed a binding term sheet with Rio Tinto for a new funding package, including a new bridge facility (“New Bridge Facility”). Under the New Bridge Facility, Rio Tinto provided the Company with a secured $600 million bridge funding facility that matures on December 31, 2013. The New Bridge Facility is subject to a front end fee of $6.0 million, an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.0% per annum on drawn amounts and a commitment fee of 2.0% per annum on undrawn amounts. Interest and fees incurred under the New Bridge Facility are subject to a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes.

As at September 30, 2013, a total of approximately $207.9 million had been drawn on the New Bridge Facility.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, a front end fee of $6.7 million, interest of $0.7 million and commitment fees of $1.2 million, each inclusive of a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes, were incurred on the New Bridge Facility, of which $4.7 million was capitalized as Oyu Tolgoi mine development costs.

 

  (c) Bridge Funding Facility

On April 17, 2012, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Rio Tinto that established Rio Tinto’s support for a series of funding measures, including an additional bridge funding facility of up to $1.5 billion towards continued construction of the Oyu Tolgoi mine. The bridge funding facility, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 5.0%, was not extended past its May 23, 2013 maturity date.

During 2012, the Company incurred a front end fee of $16.7 million. Additionally, a commitment fee of 1.75%, calculated on an annual basis on the daily average of the undrawn amount under the bridge funding facility, was payable on a semi-annual basis in arrears throughout the term of the bridge funding facility.

Any interest and fees incurred under the bridge funding facility were subject to a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, commitment fees of $11.5 million (2012 - $10.6 million), including a gross-up for applicable withholding taxes, were incurred on the bridge funding facility, of which $11.3 million (2012 - $10.6 million) was capitalized as Oyu Tolgoi mine development costs.

No amounts were ever drawn on the bridge funding facility.

  (a) Since 2011, Turquoise Hill has funded common share investments in Oyu Tolgoi on behalf of Erdenes Oyu Tolgoi LLC (“Erdenes”). In accordance with the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated June 8, 2011, such funded amounts earn interest at an effective annual rate of LIBOR plus 6.5% and are repayable to Turquoise Hill via a pledge over Erdenes’ share of future Oyu Tolgoi common share dividends. Erdenes also has the right to reduce the outstanding balance by making payments directly to Turquoise Hill.

Common share investments funded on behalf of Erdenes are recorded as a reduction to the net carrying value of noncontrolling interest. As at September 30, 2013, the cumulative amounts of such funding and unrecognized interest were $751.2 million (December 31, 2012 - $645.8 million) and $96.6 million (December 31, 2012 - $59.7 million) respectively.

  (i) During the second quarter of 2012, SouthGobi commenced curtailing mining activities at the Ovoot Tolgoi mine to manage coal inventories and to maintain efficient working capital levels. By June 30, 2012, mining activities were fully curtailed and remained so for the remainder of 2012. While operations at the Ovoot Tolgoi mine resumed on March 22, 2013, the 2013 production plan does not fully utilize SouthGobi’s existing mining fleet. Accordingly, costs related to idled mine assets continue to be incurred subsequent to March 22, 2013.

Cost of sales related to idled mine assets for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 includes $4.5 million (2012 - $12.5 million) and $21.3 million (2012 - $21.3 million) of depreciation expense respectively. The depreciation expense relates to SouthGobi’s idled plant and equipment.

18. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

The ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

(Stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted; tabular amounts in thousands)

 

 

18. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING (Continued)

 

Level 2:    Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3:    Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s freely tradeable long-term investments are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using quoted market prices of certain investments. Whereas, long-term investments with trading restrictions are classified within level 2 as they are valued by applying a liquidity discount to quoted market prices of certain investments.

18. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING (Continued)

 

The Company’s other long-term investments are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and consist of tax prepayments, the T-Bill and other investments.

The Company’s embedded derivative liability, included within the convertible credit facility (Note 9), is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as its fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, which uses readily observable market inputs.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s level 3 financial assets for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.

19. DISCLOSURES REGARDING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

  (a) Turquoise Hill is exposed to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable and other long-term investments. The significant concentrations of credit risk are situated in Mongolia, China and Australia. Turquoise Hill does not mitigate the balance of this risk.

 

  (b) Turquoise Hill is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to the variable rates of interest incurred on the interim and bridge funding facilities (Note 10) and cash and cash equivalents. Interest rate risk is concentrated in Canada and principally relates to the U.S. dollar LIBOR. Turquoise Hill does not mitigate the balance of this risk.

 

20. CONTINGENCIES

Due to the size, complexity and nature of Turquoise Hill’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. Turquoise Hill accrues for such items when both a liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

SouthGobi is subject to investigations by Mongolia’s Independent Authority against Corruption (“IAAC”) and the Mongolian State Investigation Office (“SIA”) regarding allegations against SouthGobi and some of its former employees and one current employee. The IAAC investigation concerns possible breaches of Mongolia’s anti-corruption laws, while the SIA investigation concerns possible breaches of Mongolia’s money laundering and taxation laws.

While the IAAC investigation into allegations of possible breaches of Mongolian anti-corruption laws has been suspended, SouthGobi has not received notice that the IAAC investigation is complete.

20. CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

 

The SIA continues to enforce administrative restrictions, which were initially imposed by the IAAC investigation, on certain of SouthGobi’s Mongolian assets, including local bank accounts, in connection with its continuing investigation of these allegations.

The orders placing restrictions on certain of SouthGobi’s Mongolian assets could ultimately result in an event of default of SouthGobi’s convertible debenture. This matter remains under review by SouthGobi and its advisers, but to date, it is SouthGobi’s view that this would not result in an event of default as defined under the convertible debenture terms. However, in the event that the orders result in an event of default of SouthGobi’s convertible debenture that remains uncured for ten business days, the principal amount owing and all accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable upon notice to SouthGobi by CIC.

The orders relate to certain items of operating equipment and infrastructure and SouthGobi’s Mongolian bank accounts. The orders related to the operating equipment and infrastructure restricts the sale of these items; however, the orders do not restrict the use of these items in SouthGobi’s mining activities. The orders related to SouthGobi’s Mongolian bank accounts restrict the use of in-country funds. While the orders restrict the use of in-country funds pending outcome of the investigation, they are not expected to have any material impact on SouthGobi’s activities.
