NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fortuna is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. Its common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol FSM, on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Lima Stock Exchange, both under the trading symbol FVI, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol F4S.F.

2.

Basis of Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a)

Statement of Compliance


These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The policies applied in these Financial Statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued and effective as at September 30, 2013.  The Board of Directors approved these financial statements for issue on November 5, 2013.  


The Financial Statements of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 have been prepared by management.  The Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.  The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.  In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements.


b)

Basis of Consolidation


These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.


Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.  Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.  Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power.  Control can also be achieved through power over more than half the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors or through the exercise of de facto control.

Basis of Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


b)

Basis of Consolidation (continued)


For non-wholly owned subsidiaries, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position. Net income for the period that is attributable to non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the minority shareholders in the subsidiary.


Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control.  The principal subsidiaries of the Company and their geographic locations at September 30, 2013 were as follows:

c)

Revenue Recognition


Revenue arising from the sale of metal concentrates is recognized when title or the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the concentrates have been transferred to the buyer.  The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract.  Final commodity prices are set in a period subsequent to the date of sale based on a specified quotational period, either one, two, or three months after delivery.  The Company’s metal concentrates are provisionally priced at the time of sale based on the prevailing market price.


Variations between the price recorded at the delivery date and the final price set under the sales contracts are caused by changes in market prices, and result in an embedded derivative in accounts receivable.  The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and included in sales in the consolidated statement of income.  Sales of metal concentrates are net of refining and treatment charges.


Revenues from metal concentrate sales are subject to adjustment upon final settlement of metals prices, weights, and assays as of a date that is typically one, two, or three months after the delivery date.  Typically, the adjustment is based on an inspection of the concentrate by the customer and in certain cases an inspection by a third party.  The Company records adjustments to revenues monthly based on quoted spot prices for the expected settlement period.  Adjustments for weights and assays are recorded when results are determinable or on final settlement.

Basis of Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


d)

Fair Value Measurement


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Refer to Note 13. a).


e)

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these judgments and estimates. The Financial Statements include judgments and estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such judgments and estimates are pervasive throughout the Financial Statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.


Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of judgments and estimates that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:


i.

Critical Judgments


·

The analysis of the functional currency for each entity of the Company.  In concluding that the United States dollar functional currency for its Peruvian and Mexican entities and the Canadian and Barbados entities have a Canadian dollar functional currency, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates.  As no single currency was clearly dominant the Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.

·

In concluding when commercial production has been achieved, the Company considered the following factors:

·

all major capital expenditures to bring the mine to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management have been completed;

·

the mine or mill is operating as per design capacity and metallurgical recoveries were achieved; and,

·

the ability to sustain ongoing production of ore at a steady or increasing level.

g)

New Accounting Standards


The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the following new accounting standards, noted below, on the Company’s Financial Statements.


IAS 32 Financial Instruments - Presentation in Respect of Offsetting (Amendment)

The amendments to IAS 32 address inconsistencies in current practice when applying the requirements with regards to the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and are required to be applied retrospectively.  


IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: IFRS 9 introduces the new requirements for the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier application permitted.


IFRIC 21 - Levies  

IFRIC 21 is an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments.  IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“obligating event”).  IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy.  IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014.


IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets - Amendments for Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

The amendment to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique.


h)

Change in Estimate


The Company has made a change in estimate and commencing in the fourth quarter of 2012, the amortization of depletable properties on a unit-of-production basis will be over the portion of resources, in addition to the proven and probable reserves, expected to be extracted economically. The change in estimate is applied prospectively and impacts the depletion of the mineral deposit for the current and future periods.

a)

Mario Property


During the second quarter of 2012, upon completion of a 7,000 meter Phase I drill program at the Mario and Don Mario Properties (“Mario project”), the Company determined the program was not successful in demonstrating the potential to meet the minimum target size established for the project and the Company abandoned its interest in the Mario property resulting in a write-off of $3,627.  


b)

Don Mario Property


As the Don Mario property is part of the overall Mario project and as the Phase 1 drill program at the Mario Property was not successful, the Company abandoned its interest in the Don Mario Property resulting in a write-off of $260 in the second quarter of 2012.   


c)

Tlacolula Property


Pursuant to an agreement dated September 14, 2009, as amended December 18, 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, was granted an option (the “Option”) to acquire a 60% interest (the “Interest”) in the Tlacolula silver project (“property”) located in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico from Radius Gold Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Radius (Cayman) Inc. (“Radius”) (a related party by way of directors in common with the Company described further in Note 7. a)).

Mineral Properties, Plant and Equipment (continued)


c)

Tlacolula Property (continued)


The Company can earn the Interest by spending $2,000, which includes a commitment to drill 1,500 meters within 12 months after Cuzcatlan has received a permit to drill the property and making staged annual payments totalling $250 cash and providing $250 in common shares of the Company to Radius according to the following schedule:


Ø

$20 cash and $20 cash equivalent in shares upon stock exchange approval;

Ø

$30 cash and $30 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2011;

Ø

$50 cash and $50 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2012;

Ø

$50 cash and $50 cash equivalent in shares by January 15, 2013; and,

Ø

$100 cash and $100 cash equivalent in shares within 90 days after Cuzcatlan has completed the first 1,500 meters of drilling on the property.


Upon completion of the cash payments and share issuances, and incurring the exploration expenditures as set forth above, the Company will be deemed to have exercised the Option and acquired a 60% interest in the property, whereupon a joint venture will be formed to further develop the property on the basis of the Company owning 60% and Radius 40%.


As at December 31, 2012, the Company had issued 23,174 common shares of the Company, with a fair market value of $100 and paid $100 cash according to the terms of the option agreement.


On January 15, 2013, the Company issued 11,415 common shares of the Company, at a fair market value of $4.38 per share and on January 14, 2013 paid $50 cash according to the terms of the option agreement.


d)

Taviche Oeste Concession


On February 4, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, acquired, through an option agreement with Plata Pan American S.A. de C.V. (“Plata”, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan American Silver Corp.), a 55% undivided interest in the 6,254 hectare Taviche Oeste Concession (“concessions”) immediately surrounding the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico.  The Company made a cash payment of $4.0 million.  On June 19, 2013, the Company made the final $6.0 million cash payment to purchase the remaining 45% undivided interest in the concessions.


The concession is subject to a 2.5% net smelter royalty on ore production from this property.


e)

San Luisito Concessions


On February 26, 2013, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cuzcatlan, was granted an option with a third party on concessions in the San Luisito Project, Sonora, Mexico and made a cash payment of $50.  During the second quarter of 2013, upon completion of the exploration program and given the current economic environment, the Company abandoned its interest in the option agreement resulting in a write-off of $376. Additional costs of $125 were written off in Q3 2013 for a total write-off of $501.

Mineral Properties, Plant and Equipment (continued)


f)

Caylloma Property


Assets are reviewed and tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows or cash generating units.

 

Impairment indicators were identified for Caylloma in the second quarter of 2013. The Company has determined that the Caylloma property represents a cash generating unit within the Peru geographic region.  Fair value models were used to determine the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit.  The carrying value of net assets of $87,562 was determined to be impaired by $15,000.


In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $15,000 (2012: $nil) for non-current assets related to Caylloma. The impairment charge was allocated on a prorata basis against the net book value of the mineral properties, plant and equipment of $90,129.


The impairment was driven by the reduction in gold and silver prices and an increase in operating costs, and reflects a reduction in expected future cash flows at the Caylloma operations. Expected future cash flows to determine the value in use used in the impairment testing of non-current assets are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. The cash flows are significantly affected by a number of factors including estimates of production levels, operating costs, and capital expenditures reflected in the Company’s life of mine plans, as well as economic factors beyond Management’s control, such as silver and gold prices, discount rates, and observable net asset valuation multiples. Should Management’s estimate of the future not reflect actual events, further impairments or reversals of impairments may be identified.

Long Term Liabilities


The Company’s Mexican operation is required to provide a seniority premium to all employees as required under Mexican labor law. This liability is calculated using actuarial techniques and discounting the benefit using the Projected Unit Credit Method with the following assumptions: a discount rate of 7.50%, wage increases ranging from 4.5% to 5.0%, minimum wage increase of 4.0%, and a long term inflation rate of 4.0%.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $4 and $11 (2012: $3 and $17) has been recognized as an expense, respectively.

9.

Provisions (continued)


In view of the uncertainties concerning environmental reclamation, the ultimate cost of reclamation activities could differ materially from the estimated amount recorded.  The estimate of the Company’s decommissioning and restoration liability relating to the Caylloma and San Jose mine is subject to change based on amendments to laws and regulations and as new information regarding the Company’s operations becomes available.


Future changes, if any, to the estimated liability as a result of amended requirements, laws, regulations, operating assumptions, estimated timing and amount of obligations may be significant and would be recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.  Any such change would result in an increase or decrease to the liability and a corresponding increase or decrease to the mineral properties, plant and equipment balance. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of the related mineral properties, plant and equipment balance can result in a change to the future depletion expense.


10.

Share Capital


a)

Unlimited Common Shares Without Par Value


During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 11,415 (2012: 8,605) common shares of the Company, at a fair market value of $4.38 (2012: $5.81) per share and paid $50 (2012: $50) cash to Radius, under the option to acquire a 60% interest in the Tlacolula silver project located in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. (Refer to Note 5. c)).


b)

Share Options


Shareholder approval of the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), dated April 11, 2011, was obtained at the Company’s annual general meeting held on May 26, 2011.  The Plan provides that the number of common shares of the Company issuable under the Plan, together with all of the  Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, may not exceed 12,200,000 shares, which equals 9.92% of the current total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, as at April 11, 2011.  


Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimate of the share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life of the options.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The following is a summary of share option transactions:

Capital Disclosure


The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  


The capital of the Company consists of equity and available credit facility, net of cash.  The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

12.

Capital Disclosure (continued)


The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at September 30, 2013, are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next 12 months.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.


The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remained unchanged during the period.


13.

Management of Financial Risk


The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk, and price risk.  The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.


a)

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rate, yield curves), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there have been no transfers of amounts between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments (continued)


ii.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (continued)

 


1 Fair value approximates the carrying amount due to short term nature and historically negible credit losses.


2 Trade receivable from concentrate sales include provisional pricing, and final price and assay adjustments. The fair value of trade receivable from concentrate sales resulting from provisional pricing reflect observable market commodity prices and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


3 Borrowing costs and deposits on long term assets includes the amortized value of long term receivables which approximates their fair value.


4 Leases and long term liabilities are recorded at amortized costs. The fair value of leases and long term liabilities are primarily determined using quoted market prices. Balance includes current portion of leases and long term liabilities.


b)

Currency Risk


The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates.  The Company operates in Canada, Peru and Mexico and a portion of its expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, nuevo soles, and Mexican pesos.  A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the United States dollar relative to the other currencies could have a material effect on the Company’s income, financial position, or cash flows.  The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.  


As at September 30, 2013, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, nuevo soles and Mexican pesos (all amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, thousands of nuevo soles or thousands of Mexican pesos):

Management of Financial Risk (continued)


b)

Currency Risk (continued)


Based on the above net exposure as at September 30, 2013, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar against the above currencies would result in an increase or decrease, as follows: impact to other comprehensive income of $385 (2012: $784) and a net loss of $541 (2012: net loss $1,130).


c)

Credit Risk


Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short term investments are held through large Canadian, international, and foreign national financial institutions.  These investments mature at various dates within one year.  All of the Company’s trade accounts receivables from concentrate sales are held with large international metals trading companies.


The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2013 is as follows:

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company’s credit risk has not declined significantly from the prior year.


d)

Liquidity Risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  The Company manages liquidity risk by continuing to monitor forecasted and actual cash flows.  The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its development plans.  The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash, short term investments, and its committed liabilities.

Operating leases includes leases for office premises, computer and other equipment used in the normal course of business.  Refer to Note 15. c).


On April 23, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia for a $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“credit facility”) to be refinanced or repaid on or within three years or before April 22, 2016.  The credit facility is secured by a first ranking lien on Bateas, Cuzcatlan, Continuum, and Barbados, and their assets and bears interest and fees at prevailing market rates. In the event that utilization under the credit facility is less than $10 million, a commitment fee of 1.0% per annum is payable quarterly on the unutilized portion of the available credit facility.  No funds were drawn from this credit facility.


e)

Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value is limited because the balances are generally held with major financial institutions in demand deposit accounts.


A 10% change in interest rates would cause a $2 change in income on an annualized basis.


f)

Metal Price Risk


The Company is exposed to metals price risk with respect to silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper sold through its mineral concentrate products.  As a matter of policy, the Company does not hedge its silver production.
