Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

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

(Unaudited)

1.	Nature of operations

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (“Turquoise Hill”) were authorized for issue in accordance with a directors’ resolution on July 31, 2018. Rio Tinto plc is the ultimate parent company and indirectly owned a 50.8% majority interest in Turquoise Hill as at June 30, 2018.

Turquoise Hill, together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Company”), is an international mining company focused principally on the operation and further development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine in Southern Mongolia. Turquoise Hill’s head office is located at 354-200 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1S4. Turquoise Hill’s registered office is located at 300-204 Black Street, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, Y1A 2M9.

Turquoise Hill has its primary listing in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange and secondary listings in the U.S. on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.

2.	Summary of significant accounting policies

(a)

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. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are compliant with IAS 34 and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, and in conjunction with the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 which include the impact of adoption and the accounting policies applied with regards to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

(b)

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, both of which were effective and have been applied from January 1, 2018.

(c)

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ending December 31, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The following standard may have an effect on future consolidated financial statements of the Company:

2.	Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c)

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

(i)

IFRS 16, Leases, which will replace IAS 17, Leases, is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 and is available for early adoption. The objective of the new standard is to report all leases on the consolidated balance sheet with the exception of short term (under 12 months) and low value leases, and to define how right to use assets and related lease liabilities are measured. Under the new standard, a lessee is in essence required to:

Recognize all lease assets and liabilities (including those currently classed as operating leases) on the balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not paid at that date;

Recognize amortization of lease assets and interest on lease liabilities in the statement of income over the lease term; and

Separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (which companies can choose to present within operating or financing activities consistent with presentation of any other interest paid) in the statement of cash flows.

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of IFRS 16. Generally, it is expected that under IFRS 16, the present value of most lease commitments will be shown as a liability on the balance sheet together with an asset representing the right of use. This will include those classified as operating leases under the existing standard. Information on the undiscounted amount of the Company’s operating lease commitments at June 30, 2018 under IAS 17, the current lease standard, is disclosed within Note 20. In addition to the increase in assets and liabilities, the Company expects an increase in depreciation and accretion expenses and also an increase in cash generated from operating activities due to the removal of operating lease payments. Cash outflows from financing activities are expected to increase as finance lease principal payments will be treated as financing cash flows.

To date, work has focussed on the identification of the provisions of the standard that will mostly impact the Company, together with a detailed review of contracts and financial reporting impacts. This work will continue during 2018 together with embedding the new lease management software system. The Company intends to apply the modified retrospective approach and will not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption.

None of the remaining standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Project finance facility

On December 14, 2015, Oyu Tolgoi signed a $4.4 billion project finance facility. The facility is provided by a syndicate of international financial institutions and export credit agencies representing the governments of Canada, the United States and Australia, along with 15 commercial banks. The project finance lenders have agreed a debt cap of $6.0 billion. In addition to the funding drawn down to date there is an additional $0.1 billion available, subject to certain conditions, under the Company’s facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and the potential for an additional $1.6 billion of supplemental debt in the future. Under the terms of the project finance facility held by Oyu Tolgoi, there are certain restrictions on the ability of Oyu Tolgoi to make shareholder distributions.

At June 30, 2018, Oyu Tolgoi has drawn down $4.3 billion of the project finance facility:

Borrowings and other financial liabilities (continued)

(a)

Project finance facility (continued)

(i)

The carrying value of borrowings under the project finance facility differs from fair value due to amortized transaction costs, and changes in the estimate of fair value between the initial recognition date and the balance sheet date. Project finance borrowings were initially recognized at fair value on the relevant draw down dates, with aggregate initial fair value being $4,336.8 million before transaction costs. At June 30, 2018, these borrowings are stated net of $178.5 million amortized transaction costs.

All decommissioning obligations relate to Oyu Tolgoi. Reclamation and closure costs have been estimated based on the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements and other commitments made to stakeholders, and are measured as the net present value of future cash expenditures upon reclamation and closure.

Estimated future cash expenditures of $268.2 million (December 31, 2017 - $266.5 million) have been discounted from an anticipated closure date of 2055 to their present value at a real rate of 2.0% (December 31, 2017 - 2.0%).

(a)

Since 2011, the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company.

Common share investments funded on behalf of Erdenes are recorded as a reduction to the net carrying value of non-controlling interest. As at June 30, 2018, the cumulative amount of such funding was $967.0 million (December 31, 2017 - $846.3 million). Accrued interest of $442.1 million (December 31, 2017 - $387.7 million) relating to this funding, has not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements, as payment will be triggered on common share dividend distribution by Oyu Tolgoi, the certainty of which cannot currently be reliably determined.

Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to owners of Turquoise Hill by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding at each period end have been excluded from the weighted average share calculation. As at June 30, 2018, the number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the earnings per share calculation due to anti-dilution is nil (June 30, 2017 - 424,490). As of January 29, 2018, there were no longer any outstanding options in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. As a result, the Turquoise Hill Board of Directors decided to repeal the Equity Incentive Plan on March 14, 2018.

In addition to placing cash and cash equivalents on deposit with banks or investing funds with other financial institutions, Turquoise Hill may deposit cash and cash equivalents with Rio Tinto in accordance with an agreed upon policy and strategy for the management of liquid resources. At June 30, 2018, cash equivalents deposited with wholly owned subsidiaries of Rio Tinto totalled $741.7 million, earning interest at rates equivalent to those offered by financial institutions or short-term corporate debt.

(iv)

As part of project finance (Note 13), Turquoise Hill appointed 9539549 Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto, as service provider to provide post-drawdown cash management services in connection with net proceeds from the project finance facility, which were placed with 9539549 Canada Inc. and shall be returned to Turquoise Hill as required for purposes of Oyu Tolgoi underground mine development and funding. Rio Tinto International Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto, agreed to guarantee the obligations of the service provider under this agreement. At June 30, 2018, the resulting receivable from 9539549 Canada Inc. totalled $2,606.3 million, earning interest at an effective annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.45%. The interest rate reflects: interest receivable at LIBOR minus 0.05%; plus a benefit of 2.5% arising on amounts receivable from 9539549 Canada Inc. under the Cash Management Services Agreement, which are net settled with the 2.5% completion support fee described in (v) below.

At June 30, 2018, the fair value of the receivable approximates its carrying value. The fair value has been estimated with reference to a market yield, the variability of which is considered a reasonable indicator, over the projected timeframe for returning funds to Turquoise Hill, of movements in the fair value of the receivable. This is considered a level 3 fair value measurement.

Related parties (continued)

(v)

As part of the project finance agreements (Note 13), Rio Tinto agreed to provide a guarantee, known as the completion support undertaking (“CSU”) in favour of the Commercial Banks and the Export Credit Agencies. In consideration for providing the CSU, the Company is required to pay Rio Tinto a fee equal to 2.5% of the amounts drawn under the facility. The annual completion support fee of 2.5% on amounts drawn under the facility is accounted for as a borrowing cost and included within interest expense and similar charges (refer to Note 7). The fee is settled net of a benefit arising on amounts receivable from 9539549 Canada Inc. under the Cash Management Services Agreement described in (iv) above. The fee payment obligation will terminate on the date Rio Tinto’s CSU obligations to the project lenders terminate.

The above noted transactions were carried out in the normal course of operations and were measured at the transaction amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Commitments and contingencies (continued)

(d)

On January 16, 2018, the Company announced that Oyu Tolgoi received a tax assessment for approximately $155 million from the Mongolian Tax Authority (the “MTA”) as a result of a general tax audit for the period covering 2013 through 2015. In January 2018 Oyu Tolgoi paid an amount of $4.8 million to settle unpaid taxes, fines and penalties for accepted items.

The Company is of the opinion that Oyu Tolgoi has now paid all taxes and charges required under the 2009 Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”), the Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement (“ARSHA”), the Underground Mine Development and Financing Plan and Mongolian law. Following engagement with the MTA, Oyu Tolgoi was advised that the MTA could not resolve Oyu Tolgoi’s objections to the tax assessment. Accordingly, on March 15, 2018, Oyu Tolgoi issued a notice of dispute to the Government of Mongolia under the Investment Agreement and on April 13, 2018, Oyu Tolgoi submitted a claim to the Mongolian Administrative Court. The Administrative Court has currently suspended the processing of the case for an indefinite period based on current procedural uncertainty in relation to the tax assessment disputes.

Chapter 14 of the Investment Agreement sets out a dispute resolution process. The issuance of a notice of dispute is the first step in the dispute resolution process and commenced a 60 working-day negotiation period. The parties were unable to reach a resolution during the 60 working-day period; however, the parties can continue discussions in an attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. If unsuccessful, the next step would be dispute resolution through international arbitration.

The Company accrues for such matters when both a liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes that Oyu Tolgoi has paid all taxes and charges as required under the Investment Agreement, ARSHA, the Underground Mine Development and Financing Plan and Mongolian law and in the opinion of the Company at June 30, 2018, a provision is not required for the amount of approximately $150 million disputed by the Company relating to the years 2013 through 2015 or any additional amounts related to the period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018. The amounts that could arise related to the period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018 would be material. The final amount of taxes to be paid depends on a number of factors including the outcome of discussions with the government and possible international arbitration. Changes in management’s assessment of the outcome of this matter could result in material adjustments to the Company’s statements of income and financial position.

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 recognizes a liability with respect to such matters when an outflow of economic resources is assessed as probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Financial instruments and fair value measurements

Certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities may also be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost is determined in accordance with accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. Except as otherwise specified, the Company considers that the carrying amount of other receivables, trade payables and other financial assets measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value because of the demand nature or short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments and fair value measurements (continued)

The following tables provide an analysis of the Company’s financial assets that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value on a recurring basis, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the significant inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.

●

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

●

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include significant inputs that are not based on observable market data.


	Fair Value at June 30, 2018
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Money market funds (a)	$	301,400	$	301,400	$	-	$	-
