NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited - stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alamos Gold Inc., a resident Canadian company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals in Mexico and Turkey. The Company owns and operates the Mulatos mine (the “Mine”) and holds the mineral rights to the Salamandra group of concessions in the State of Sonora, Mexico, which includes several known satellite gold occurrences. In addition, the Company owns the Agi Dagi and Kirazli gold development projects in Turkey.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparative figures, have been prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The disclosures concerning the transition from Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to IFRS are included in Note 15.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) and IFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”). Subject to certain transition elections disclosed in Note 15, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies in our opening IFRS balance sheet as at January 1, 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect.

The policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with the policies disclosed in Notes 2 and 3 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011 and are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of the date the Board of Directors approved the financial statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 could result in restatement of these interim consolidated financial statements, including the transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011 and the Canadian GAAP annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 2, 2011.

3. FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES

The following are new pronouncements approved by the IASB. The following new Standards and Interpretations are not yet effective and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements, however, may impact future periods.

(i) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was issued by the IASB on November 12, 2009 and will replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple classification options available in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial instruments.

(ii) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 10 replaces the guidance in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities (“SPE’s”). IFRS 10 provides a single model to be applied in the control analysis for all investees, including entities that currently are SPEs in the scope of SIC-12. In addition, the consolidation procedures are carried forward substantially unmodified from IAS 27. The extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 10 has not yet been determined.

(iii) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities was released in May 2011 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. If an entity applies this Standard earlier, it does not need to apply IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IAS 27 (2011) and IAS 28 (2011) at the same time. IFRS 12 contains the disclosure requirements for entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements (i.e. joint operations or joint ventures), associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. Interests are widely defined as contractual and non-contractual involvement that exposes an entity to variability of returns from the performance of the other entity. The required disclosures aim to provide information in order to enable users to evaluate the nature of, and the risks associated with, an entity’s interest in other entities, and the effects of those interests on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 12 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements, because of the nature of the Company’s interests in other entities.

(iv) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement was issued in May 2011 and is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 need not be applied in comparative information for periods before initial application. IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and sets out disclosure requirements for fair value measurements to provide information that enables financial statement users to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements and, for recurring fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income. IFRS 13 explains ‘how’ to measure fair value when it is required or permitted by other IFRSs. IFRS 13 does not introduce new requirements to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, nor does it eliminate the practicability exceptions to fair value measurements that currently exist in certain standards. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 13 prospectively in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2013. The extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 13 has not yet been determined.

(v) Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements was issued in June 2011 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. IAS 1 should be applied retrospectively, but early adoption is permitted. The amendments require that an entity present separately the items of OCI that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. Consequently an entity that presents items of OCI before related tax effects will also have to allocate the aggregated tax amount between these categories. The existing option to present the profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two statements has remained unchanged. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2013. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amendments has not yet been determined.

4. ACQUISITION OF TURKISH PROPERTIES

On January 6, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the Agi Dagi and Kirazli gold projects (the “projects”) through the purchase of certain Turkish subsidiaries held by Fronteer Development Group Inc. (“Fronteer”) and Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”).

This transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination. Consequently, the transaction has been recorded as an acquisition of an asset.

The Company paid a total of US$40 million cash and issued an aggregate of 4 million common shares to Teck (as to 60%) and Fronteer (as to 40%) in total consideration for the projects. In addition, a third party has a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty on production from the Agi Dagi project. The total purchase price was $91,334,000 including transaction costs of $704,000.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the total consideration at the closing date of acquisition. All financial assets acquired and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value. The fair value of the net assets acquired was in excess of the consideration paid and was therefore allocated to the mineral property, plant and equipment on a pro rata basis.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments is classified into the following categories:

 

    June 30       
2011       
    December 31,
2010
 
    ($000)     ($000)  

  Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) (1)

    207,696        188,180   

  Derivative instruments designated as FVTPL (2)

    465        1,094   

  Available for sale securities (3)

    11,618        9,380   

  Loans and receivables (4)

    4,792        5,749   

  Derivative contracts designated as FVTPL (5)

    (1,191)        (715)   

  Other financial liabilities (6)

    (20,294)        (17,831)   

 

(1)

Includes cash of $75.1 million (December 31, 2010 - $80.6 million), cash equivalents of $74.1 million (December 31, 2010 - $65.7 million) and short-term investments of $58.5 million (December 31, 2010 - $41.8 million).

(2)

Includes the Company’s investment in the warrants of Primero Mining Corp. The Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $0.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 (June 30, 2010 - nil).

(3)

Includes the Company’s investment in the common shares of Primero Mining Corp and other publicly traded entities. The Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $3.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 which is recorded in other comprehensive income (June 30, 2010 - nil).

(4)

Includes amounts receivable. As permitted by Mexican tax law, the Company offset $7.5 million of Mexican value-added tax receivables against its current taxes payable liability for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 ($14.2 million for year ended December 31, 2010).

(5)

Includes the Company’s foreign currency forward and option contracts and gold option contracts which, for accounting purposes, are not designated as effective hedges. These are classified within accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(6)

Includes all other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable, dividend payable, and property acquisition obligations.

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.

The Company may utilize financial instruments to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of gold and foreign exchange rates. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding gold contracts.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding contracts to deliver $16 million CAD in exchange for a fixed amount of USD at future dates up to September 2011, with CAD:USD rates ranging from 1.03:1 to 1.04:1. The mark-to-market loss associated with these contracts as at June 30, 2011 was $1.2 million (2010 - $0.7 million).

10. PROVISIONS

 

a) Employee future benefits

The Company accrues employee future benefits for all contract workers paid through its subsidiary employment services company. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to twelve days’ wages for each year of service (at the employee’s most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with fifteen or more years of service, as well as to certain employees terminated involuntarily prior to the vesting of their seniority premium benefit. Under Mexican Labour Law, the Company also provides statutorily mandated severance benefits to its employees terminated under certain circumstances. Such benefits consist of a one-time payment of three months’ wages upon involuntary termination without just cause.

The liability associated with the seniority and termination benefits is calculated as the present value of expected future payments. In determining the expected future payments, assumptions regarding employee turnover rates, inflation, minimum wage increases and expected salary levels are required and are subject to review and change.

A continuity of the employee future benefits provision is as follows:

 

        Six months ended 
   June 30, 2011 
    Year ended  
December 31, 2010

12


b) Property acquisition obligations

The Company is in the process of acquiring property adjacent to its present and prospective mining operations, including property comprising the town of Mulatos. Property owners and possessors are being offered a comprehensive benefits package including compensation for their property and/or relocation benefits. In certain cases, relocation benefits include deferred monthly payments over periods varying from three to five years. Obligations are recognized when a legal contract is signed by both parties and are measured at the discounted value of expected future payments. The discounted value accretes to the estimated future value over the period of the payment obligation. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company applied a discount rate of 4.50% to expected future payments.

A continuity of property acquisition obligations is as follows:

 

      Six months ended 
 June 30, 2011

     $752         $780     
  

 

 

 

 

c) Decommissioning liability

The fair value of a liability for a decommissioning liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, on a discounted cash flow basis, if a reasonable estimate can be made. The liability accretes to its full value over time through charges to earnings. In addition, the fair value is added to the carrying amount of the Company’s mineral property, plant and equipment, and is amortized on a units-of-production basis over the life of the Mine.

A continuity of the decommissioning liability is as follows:

 

        Six months ended  
   June 30, 2011  
     Year ended  
December 31, 2010

b) Stock options

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”), originally approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 17, 2003, and amended and ratified on May 25, 2007, May 15, 2008, April 7, 2009, and June 2, 2010, which allows the Company to grant incentive stock options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. Under the Plan, the number of shares reserved for issuance cannot exceed 10% of the total number of shares which are outstanding on the date of grant. The exercise price, term (not to exceed ten years) and vesting provisions are authorized by the Board at the time of the grant. Stock options granted to directors, officers and certain consultants under the Plan are exercisable for a five-year period, and options granted to employees are generally exercisable for a three-year period. Incentive stock options granted vest 20% on the date of grant, and 20% at each six-month interval following the date of grant.

The Plan is subject to shareholder approval and ratification every three years. The Plan was last approved by shareholders of the Company on May 15, 2008. The Company elected to withdraw its proposal to shareholders to ratify the existing Plan at its Annual and Special meeting held on June 2, 2011. As a result, the Plan expired on May 15, 2011. Accordingly, stock options outstanding at Mary 15, 2011 remain outstanding and exercisable subject to their initial terms and vesting conditions. New stock options cannot be granted until such time as the Company receives shareholder approval.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in the number of stock options outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2011:

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore it is management’s view that the existing models may not provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants.

As at June 30, 2011, 4,883,900 stock options were exercisable. The remaining 3,287,000 outstanding stock options vest over the following two years.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

a) Escondida Development and Mill Construction

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company signed a contract with an international mining contractor to develop the Escondida zone of the Mulatos Pit. Development began in the third quarter of 2009 and is expected to be completed over approximately a two and a half year period, following which the Company will begin mining the underlying deposit. The total contract value is approximately $61.2 million, and is subject to the contractor achieving certain preset performance conditions. As at June 30, 2011, the Company has incurred approximately $42.3 million in project to date expenditures relating to this contract.

During the year, the Company signed a contract with a supplier to design and construct a gravity mill to process high-grade ore at the Escondida zone. The total value of the contract is $10.5 million. The Company has made advances of approximately $6.8 million relating to this contract as of June 30, 2011.

 

b) Royalty

Production from certain concessions within the Salamandra district, including the Mine, is subject to a sliding scale production royalty. At current gold prices above $400 per ounce, the royalty is calculated at a rate of 5% of the value of gold and silver production, less certain deductible

 

17


refining and transportation costs. The royalty is calculated based on the daily average London PM Fix gold market prices, not actual prices realized by the Company. With the achievement of commercial production on April 1, 2006, production to a maximum of two million ounces of gold is subject to royalty. As at June 30, 2011, the royalty was paid or accrued on approximately 733,000 ounces of applicable gold production. Royalty expense for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.9 million and $5.5 million (three and six-months ended June 30, 2010: $2.3 million and $4.3 million).

In addition, a third party has a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty on production from the Company’s Agi Dagi project. The Company has not recorded an accrual for this royalty at June 30, 2011 as the project is not in production.

 

c) Mulatos Town Relocation

The Company commenced the planned relocation of the town of Mulatos in 2007. Relocation contracts have been signed with in excess of half of the families residing in Mulatos at the start of the relocation program. Property owners and possessors are being offered a comprehensive benefits package including compensation for their property at a premium to independent third-party valuations and/or relocation benefits. In certain cases, relocation benefits include deferred monthly payments. Since the start of the relocation effort in 2007, the Company has invested approximately $6,850,000 in property acquisition, relocation benefits, legal and related costs. In addition, the Company has recognized a liability of $752,000 representing the discounted value of expected future payments for relocation benefits to property owners and possessors that had signed contracts with the Company as at June 30, 2011. The discounted value of the liability was capitalized to mineral property, plant and equipment.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a land purchase agreement with the Mulatos Ejido, the local landowners. Pursuant to the land purchase agreement, the Company made a payment of $1,250,000 in order to secure temporary occupation rights to specified land. An additional payment of approximately $1,100,000 based on current exchange rates is payable once the land has been vacated and is transferred to the Company, which has not been accrued as at June 30, 2011. The probability and timing of this additional payment is currently unknown to the Company.

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company received notice that the Mulatos Ejido had filed a complaint with the Unitary Agrarian Court to nullify the 2008 land purchase agreement. The Company has received a legal opinion that the action is without merit. Preliminary hearings have commenced, and the matter remains unresolved by the Court at this time. The Company is committed to completing the agreement based on the original terms. The land purchase agreement does not affect current mining operations of the Company.

Additional future property acquisition, relocation benefits, legal and related costs may be material. The Company cannot currently determine the expected timing, outcome of negotiations or costs associated with the relocation of the remaining property owners and possessors and potential land acquisitions.

14. RECLASSIFICATION

The comparative financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.

 

18


15. IFRS TRANSITION FROM PREVIOUS GAAP

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 will be the first annual financial statements that comply with IFRS. The Company has prepared its opening IFRS balance sheet by applying existing IFRS standards in effect at the release of these condensed interim financial statements. However, the opening IFRS balance sheet and the December 31, 2010 comparative balance sheet presented in consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 may differ from those presented at this time if there are changes to IFRS standards that require retroactive adjustment.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies previously disclosed in the March 31, 2011 condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been applied in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011, the comparative information presented in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2010.

In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with previous Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). An explanation of how the transition from previous Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows is set out below.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards sets forth guidance for the initial adoption of IFRS. Under IFRS 1, the standards are applied retrospectively at the transitional statement of financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities charged or credited to retained earnings unless certain exemptions are applied. The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated January 1, 2010:

 

(a) Business Combinations

IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has utilized this election and has therefore applied IFRS 3 only to business combinations that occurred on or after January 1, 2010.

 

(b) Share-based payment transactions

IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the latter of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that vested prior to January 1, 2010, which have been accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The effect of applying IFRS 2 to unvested options at the transition date was to reduce retained earnings by $2.8 million as at January 1, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to contributed surplus.

 

(c) Compound financial instruments

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation requires an entity to split a compound financial instrument at inception into separate liability and equity components. If the liability component is no longer outstanding, retrospective application of IAS 32 involves separating two portions of equity, the first portion is in retained earnings and represents the cumulative interest accreted on the liability components, while the other portion represents the original equity component. The Company has utilized this IFRS 1 exemption to not require separation of these two portions if the liability component is no longer outstanding at the transition date.

 

19


(d) Decommissioning liabilities

Under IFRS 1, an entity can elect not to retrospectively calculate the effect of each change in estimate that occurred prior to the transition date on the decommissioning asset and related amortization. Instead, it can elect to measure the liability at the transition date using a shortcut method. The Company has elected to use the IFRS 1 exemption and has measured the decommissioning asset and liability using the short cut method available. The effect was to reduce mineral property, plant and equipment and decommissioning liability by $0.3 million as at January 1, 2010.

 

(e) Mineral property, plant and equipment - deemed cost

IFRS 1 includes an election to use fair value or revaluation as deemed cost for mineral property, plant and equipment, and is available on an asset-by-asset basis. The IFRS 1 election is separate from the policy choice available to measure long-lived assets at cost or under the revaluation model. The Company has elected to apply the IFRS 1 exemption to certain mobile equipment, which has resulted in a reduction of mineral property, plant and equipment of $1.5 million as at January 1, 2010, with an after-tax adjustment to retained earnings of $1.0 million.

 

(f) IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs

In accordance with IFRS 1, the Company has elected to prospectively apply IAS 23 effective January 1, 2011.

IFRS 1 also outlines specific guidelines that a first-time adopter must adhere to under certain circumstances. The Company has applied the following guidelines to its opening statement of financial position dated January 1, 2010:

 

(g) Estimates

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under the previous GAAP applied, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of January 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date.

 

(h) Mineral property, plant and equipment

IFRS 6 requires that an entity classify each asset in the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources as tangible or intangible according to the nature of the assets acquired and to apply the classification consistently. As a result, the Company has reclassified certain assets previously classified as mineral property, plant and equipment to exploration and evaluation assets.

IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. However, significant differences exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement and disclosure. While adoption of IFRS has not changed the Company’s actual cash flows, it has resulted in changes to the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations. In order to allow the users of the financial statements to better understand these changes, the Company’s Canadian GAAP Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been reconciled to IFRS, with the resulting differences explained.

 

(i) Mineral property, plant and equipment

Due to the adjustments to the provision for decommissioning liabilities and the adjustment for deemed cost election discussed in (d) and (e) above respectively, the cost of property plant and equipment is different in accordance with IFRS than in accordance with Canadian GAAP. As a result, even though amortization is calculated in the same manner, the amount of amortization differs by $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

20


(j) Share-based payments

IFRS

 

 

Each tranche of an award with different vesting dates is considered a separate grant for the calculation of fair value, and the resulting fair value is amortized over the vesting period of the respective tranches.

 

 

Forfeiture estimates are recognized in the period they are estimated, and are revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods.

Canadian GAAP

 

 

The fair value of stock-based awards with graded vesting are calculated as one grant and the resulting fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

 

Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.

The effect of applying IFRS 2 was an increase to stock based compensation expense by $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to contributed surplus.

 

(k) Provision for decommissioning liabilities

IFRS

 

 

The provision for decommissioning liabilities must be adjusted for changes in key assumptions, including the discount rate.

Canadian GAAP

 

 

The provision for decommissioning liabilities is not adjusted for changes in key assumptions, including the discount rate.

The effect was an increase in financing expense by a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to decommissioning liability.

 

(l) Provision for property acquisition obligations

IFRS

 

 

The provision for property acquisition obligations must be discounted using a discount rate applicable to settling the liability.

Canadian GAAP

 

 

The provision for property acquisition obligations must be discounted using a credited adjusted risk-free discount rate.

The effect was a decrease in financing expense by a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to the property acquisition obligation.

 

(m) Deferred tax liability

IFRS

A deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference, except to the extent the deferred tax liability arises from:

 

   

the initial recognition of goodwill; or

 

   

the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:

 

   

is not a business combination; and

 

   

at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Canadian GAAP

A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences unless they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. There is no exemption for the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Under Canadian GAAP, the carrying value of an asset acquired other than in a business combination is adjusted for the amount of the deferred tax recognized.

 

21


The effect was a reduction of the deferred income tax liability balance of $2.7 million as at January 1, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to mineral property, plant and equipment of $2.9 million and opening retained earnings of $0.2 million. In addition, in 2010, mineral property, plant and equipment and deferred income taxes were reduced by $17.7 million, as well as foreign exchange loss and deferred income tax expense increased by a total of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to increase deferred income tax liability.

 

(n) Deferred tax asset / liability

IFRS

For non-monetary assets, temporary differences that arise when changes in exchange rates lead to changes in the tax basis rather than the carrying amounts of those assets measured in the functional currency are recognized as a deferred tax asset / liability.

Canadian GAAP

For non-monetary assets, temporary differences that arise when changes in exchange rates lead to changes in the tax basis rather than the carrying amounts of those assets measured in the functional currency are not recognized.

The effect was an increase in deferred income tax liability by $5.4 million as at January 1, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to opening retained earnings. In addition, the effect was a decrease in deferred income tax expense by $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with an offsetting adjustment to deferred income tax liability.

 

(o) Available for Sale financial assets

IFRS

For available for sale financial assets, foreign exchange amounts arising from translation of the assets are recorded in net income.

Canadian GAAP

For available for sale financial assets, foreign exchange amounts arising from translation of the assets are recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

(p) Presentation

The presentation in accordance with IFRS differs from the presentation in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
