NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

(figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

 

1.Description of Business and Nature of Operations

Alexco Resource Corp. (“Alexco” or the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) on December 3, 2004 and commenced operations on March 15, 2005. Effective December 28, 2007, it was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Corporation operates two principal businesses: a mining business, comprising mineral exploration and mine development in Yukon Territory; and through Alexco Environmental Group (“AEG”), an environmental services business, providing consulting, remediation solutions and project management services in respect of environmental permitting and compliance and site remediation, primarily in Canada and the United States.

The Corporation is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, successful permitting, the ability of the Corporation to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of each mineral property. Furthermore, the acquisition of title to mineral properties is a complicated and uncertain process, and while the Corporation has taken steps in accordance with common industry practice to verify its title to the mineral properties in which it has an interest, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured. The carrying amounts of mineral properties are based on costs incurred to date, adjusted for depletion and impairments, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

Alexco is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (under the symbol AXR) and the NYSE American Stock Exchange (under the symbol AXU). The Corporation’s corporate head office is located at Suite 1225, Two Bentall Centre, 555 Burrard Street, Box 216, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7X 1M9.

2.Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as compared with the most recent annual financial statements (except for those policies disclosed in Note 3), being for the year ended December 31, 2017, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s most recent annual financial statements. Note 4 discloses the effects of the adoption of new IFRS pronouncements and changes in existing accounting policies for all periods presented. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2018.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost method, except for derivative financial instruments, share-based compensation and certain financial assets which have been measured at fair value. All figures are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

3.Summary of Amended Accounting Policies

The following are significant accounting policies that have changed as a result of the adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 and related policy choices as noted in italics. All other significant accounting policies are consistent with those reported in our 2017 annual consolidated financial statements.

 

(a)Mineral Properties

Exploration and Evaluation Properties

The Corporation capitalizes exploration and evaluation expenses at cost for expenditures incurred after it has obtained legal rights to explore a specific area and before technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources are demonstrable.

All direct and indirect costs relating to the exploration of specific properties with the objective of locating, defining and delineating the resource potential of the mineral interests on specific properties are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets, net of any directly attributable recoveries recognized, such as exploration or investment tax credits.

 

 
 

 

ALEXCO RESOURCE CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

(figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

The Corporation has elected to follow a policy of applying the proceeds received from the silver streaming arrangement with Wheaton Precious Metals (“Wheaton”) explained further in Note 10, as a credit to the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation Property. Accordingly, this has been applied retrospectively and the initial deposit has been applied as an offset against the mineral interest asset, with the cumulative catch up adjustment in the amount of $12,400,000 recognized in opening retained earnings (Note 4).

At each reporting date, exploration and evaluation assets are evaluated, classified as mining operations assets upon achieving technical feasibility and determination of commercial viability.

(b)Revenue Recognition

Revenue from environmental services are recognized upon the transfer of promised services based on the output appropriate to the particular service contract and when a customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the service.

(c)Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments, are initially recognized at fair value on the balance sheet when the Corporation becomes a party to the relevant contractual provisions. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the financial instrument’s classification.

The Corporation classifies the financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost.

(i)Classification

 

The Corporation determines the classification of financial instruments at initial recognition.

Financial assets

 

a)Debt - The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Corporation’s business model for managing the financial assets and the relevant contractual cash flow characteristics. A debt instrument is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the debt instrument for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest.

 

b)Equity - Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Corporation may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by- instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.

 

Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost; unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Corporation has opted to measure at FVTPL.

(ii)Measurement

 

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

 

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of income (loss). Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statement of income (loss) in the period in which they occur. Where the Corporation has opted to designate a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with our own credit risk will be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).

 

 
 

 

ALEXCO RESOURCE CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

(figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

 

Financial assets at FVTOCI

 

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, the investments are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes from initial recognition recognized in OCI.

 

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

 

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortized cost adjusted by any impairment.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

When the Corporation enters into derivative contracts, these are intended to reduce the exposures related to assets and liabilities, or forecast transactions. Derivatives are classified as FVTPL.

 

Derivatives embedded in financial liabilities are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to the host contracts. However, the classification approach described above is applied to all financial assets, including those that contain embedded derivatives, without the need to separate the embedded derivative from the host contract.

 

(iii)Impairment of financial assets

 

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

 

The Corporation recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.

 

The Corporation is applying the simplified method for trade receivables and is calculating expected credit losses at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss.

 

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the expected credit losses are reversed after the impairment was recognized.

 

(iv)Derecognition

 

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the investments mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, canceled or expired. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized within finance income and finance costs, respectively. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated OCI.

 

(v)Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active, the Corporation establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the financial asset’s specific circumstances.

The Corporation has assessed the impact of IFRS 15 on its silver streaming arrangement with Wheaton, as described in Note 10.  At the date the initial transaction was completed, the Corporation determined that the contract was a sale of a mineral interest and a related contract to provide extraction services.  Under its existing policy, the Corporation applies the provisions of IFRS 6, which allows for an accounting policy choice to either apply the proceeds received as a credit to the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) asset, or account for the transaction as a partial sale, with deferral of the gain, to be recognized on a units-of-production sold basis. Upon the effective date of IFRS 15, the Corporation will continue to apply IFRS 6 guidance for the partial sale of the mineral interest, but has elected to change the policy to apply the proceeds received as a credit to the carrying value of the E&E asset. Management believes this approach to be more relevant and reliable.

Specifically, the USD $50,000,000 initial deposit recorded as consideration was applied against the carrying value of the mineral interest, with a gain being recognized to the extent that the value of the consideration exceeds the value of the mineral interest.

Overview of Changes to IFRS

The Corporation adopted IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018 in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, applying a modified retrospective approach in restating our prior period financial information.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18, Revenue and IAS 11, Construction contracts and related interpretations. Management’s primary focus was evaluating contracts under our Environmental Services business, as this is currently the Corporation’s primary source of revenue. Based on this analysis, the Corporation does not have significant changes to the timing and amount of our revenue recognition related to from environmental services under IFRS 15, as the majority of its contracts contain a single performance obligation. Consequently, consistent with the Corporation’s existing policy, revenue is recognized “over time”, as the services are provided.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change for liabilities is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in OCI rather than in net earnings. The Corporation has made the irrevocable classification choice to record fair value changes on its equity investments in OCI (Note 15). This election resulted in a nil reclassification from the Corporation’s retained earnings to AOCI, on January 1, 2018.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. While the Corporation is exposed to credit losses due to the non-performance of its counterparties, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk and the Corporation does not consider this to be a material risk. The Corporations customers with whom the current business operations are with include government bodies and reputable businesses.

The Corporation has implemented a process for managing expected credit loss provisions related to trade receivables going forward under IFRS 9. For its trade receivables, the Corporation applies the simplified approach for determining expected credit losses, which require the Corporation to determine the lifetime, expected losses for all its trade receivables. The expected lifetime credit loss provision for its trade receivables is based on historical counterparty default rates and adjusted for relevant forward looking information, when required. Because of factors including that the majority of its customers are considered to have low default risk and the Corporation does not extend credit to customers with a high default risk, the historical default rates are low and the lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables is nominal as atJune 30, 2018. Accordingly, the Corporation did not record any adjustment relating to the implementation of the expected credit loss model for its trade receivables.

5.Acquisition of Contango Strategies Ltd.

On June 15, 2018 the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, AEG, completed the acquisition of Contango Strategies Ltd. (“Contango”), a private company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Corporation concluded that the acquisition of Contango is considered a business combination under IFRS 3.

AEG acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Contango in exchange for consideration of $1,388,000 comprising $971,600 in cash and 237,999 common shares of Alexco at a value of $416,400. The common shares were valued at $1.75 per share using the market price on the date of issuance. Settlement of the consideration is in two tranches with $1,018,000 (comprising $601,600 in cash and $416,400 in Alexco common shares) paid on closing with the remaining $370,000 cash payment to be made on the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction. The acquisition includes all of Contango’s operations including $450,000 in working capital and property, plant and equipment.

Acquisition related costs in the amount of $28,000 were incurred and have been recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of loss, as part of other expenses.

Goodwill of $550,000 is primarily related to growth expectation, expected future profitability and the substantial skill and expertise of Contango’s employees. Goodwill is reflected on the Balance Sheet under intangible assets and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and may vary based upon the completion of additional valuation procedures and finalization of working capital adjustments pursuant to the purchase agreement.

The date of the acquisition for accounting purposes is June 15, 2018 being the closing date of the share purchase agreement and the date consideration was formally exchanged. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of Contango based on management’s estimate of fair values is as follows:

On October 2, 2008 (with subsequent amendments on October 20, 2008, December 10, 2008, December 22, 2009, March 31, 2010, January 15, 2013, March 11, 2014 and June 16, 2014), the Corporation entered into a silver purchase agreement (the "SPA") with Wheaton under which Wheaton will receive 25% of the life of mine payable silver produced by the Corporation from its Keno Hill Silver District properties. The SPA anticipated that the initial silver deliveries would come from the Bellekeno property. Under the SPA, the Corporation received up-front deposit payments from Wheaton totaling US$50,000,000, and received further payments of the lesser of US$3.90 (increasing by 1% per annum after the third year of full production) and the prevailing market price for each ounce of payable silver delivered, if as and when delivered. After the initial 40 year term of the SPA, the Corporation is required to refund the balance of any advance payments received and not yet notionally reduced through silver deliveries. The Corporation would also be required to refund the balance of advance payments received and not yet reduced if Wheaton exercised its right to terminate the SPA in an event of default by the Corporation. As of September 2013, Bellekeno mining operations were suspended in light of a low silver price environment.

On March 29, 2017 the Corporation and Wheaton amended the SPA (the “Amended SPA, such that Wheaton will continue to receive 25% of the life of mine payable silver from the Keno Hill Silver District with a variable production payment based on monthly silver head grade and monthly silver spot price. The actual monthly production payment from Wheaton will be determined based on the monthly average silver head grade at the mill and the monthly average silver spot price, as determined by a grade and pricing curve with an upper ceiling grade of 1,400 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver and price of US$25 per ounce of silver and a floor grade of 600 g/t silver and price of US$13 per ounce of silver. Additional terms of the amendment include a date for completion of the 400 tonne per day mine and mill completion test, which is reset to December 31, 2019. If the completion test is not satisfied by December 31, 2019, the Corporation will be required to pay a capacity related refund to Wheaton in the maximum amount of US$8,788,000, which can be further proportionately reduced by mine production and mill throughput exceeding 322 tonnes per day for a 30 day period prior to December 31, 2019. The Amended SPA is secured against the Corporation’s mineral properties until repayment of the original deposit of US$50,000,000.

In consideration of the foregoing amendments, the Corporation issued 3,000,000 shares to Wheaton with a fair value of $6,600,000 (US$4,934,948). Under the terms of the Amended SPA, the original US$50,000,000 deposit was notionally reduced by this amount. The variability in the future cash flows to be received from Wheaton upon extraction and delivery of their 25% interest of future production is considered an embedded derivative within this host contract under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. The embedded derivative asset was initially recorded at fair value based on the value of the consideration paid to Wheaton and is to be re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis at each period end with changes in value being recorded within the Statement of Loss.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

(figures in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

As at June 30, 2018, the fair value of the embedded derivative was calculated based on the discounted future cash flows associated with the difference between the original US$3.90 per ounce production payment Wheaton would pay for each payable ounce delivered under the SPA and the new production payment under the Amended SPA which varies depending on the monthly silver head grade and monthly silver price. The model currently relies upon inputs from the preliminary economic assessment (the “PEA”), such as payable ounces delivered and head grade, but will be updated in the future as a result of updated studies, mine plans and actual production. The valuation model for the embedded derivative has been updated to utilize a probability-based dynamic pricing structure as opposed to a static pricing structure. As such, the discount rate used and silver price assumptions are updated quarterly based on the risk-free yield curve and silver price forward curve at quarter end.

11.Credit Facility

On February 23, 2018 the Corporation entered into a definitive credit agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending (Collector), L.P. (“Sprott”) to provide a US$15,000,000 credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has the following key terms:

 

Term of 3 years, Maturity Date - February 23, 2021
Interest rate on funds drawn down: the greater of

The Corporation’s decommissioning and rehabilitation provision consists of costs expected to be incurred in respect of future reclamation and closure activities at the end of the life of the Bellekeno, Flame & Moth, Bermingham, Lucky Queen and Onek mines. These activities include water treatment, land rehabilitation, ongoing care and maintenance and other reclamation and closure related requirements.

The total inflation adjusted estimated cash flows required to settle the decommissioning and rehabilitation provision is estimated to be $6,561,000 (December 31, 2017 - $6,187,000), with the expenditures expected to be incurred substantially over the course of the next 20 years. In determining the carrying value of the decommissioning and rehabilitation provision as at June 30, 2018, the Corporation has used a risk-free discount rate of 2.12% (December 31, 2017 - 2.11%) and an inflation rate of 2.0% (December 31, 2017 - 2.0%) resulting in a discounted amount of $5,230,000 (December 31, 2017 - $5,055,000).

On February 23, 2018 1,000,000 warrants were issued as a fee for the Credit Facility with Sprott (Note 11). The warrants were capitalized as a pre-payment for services, and are being amortized over the availability period of the facility to which it relates. The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming a risk-free rate of 1.94% per annum, an expected life of options of 5 years, an expected volatility of 73% based on historical volatility, and no expected dividends.

Equity Incentive Plan

Under the Corporations equity incentive plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), the aggregate number of common shares issuable on the exercise of stock options or issuance of RSUs cannot exceed 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding. As at June 30, 2018, a total of 7,850,500 stock options and 273,989 RSUs were outstanding under the New Plan and a total of 2,674,401 remain available for future grants.

Incentive Stock Options

Generally stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan have a maximum term of five years, vesting 25% upon granting and 25% each six months thereafter. The exercise price may not be less than the immediately preceding five day volume weighted average price of the Corporation’s common shares traded through the facilities of the exchange on which the Corporation’s common shares are listed.

Fair value through other comprehensive loss             
Investment in marketable securities  Level 1  $841   $673 
      $8,215   $8,355 

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the fair value of warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming a risk-free interest rate of 1.90% (2017 - 1.10%) per annum, an expected life of options of 1.12 years (2017 - 1.84), an expected volatility of 116% (2017 - 138%) based on historical volatility and no expected dividends (2017 - nil).

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the fair value of the embedded derivative was estimated using a probability-based dynamic pricing structure resulting in a mark-to-market adjustment of $663,000 (2017 - nil). The model currently relies upon inputs from the preliminary economic assessment dated March 29, 2017, and considers payable ounces delivered and head grade. The model is updated quarterly for the discount rate used and silver price assumptions based on the risk-free yield curve and silver price forward curve at quarter end.

The carrying amounts of all of the Corporation’s other financial assets and liabilities, carried at amortized cost, reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

19.Segmented Information

The Corporation had two operating segments during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, being firstly environmental services carried out through AEG, providing consulting and project management services in respect of environmental permitting and compliance and site remediation and reclamation; and secondly mining operations, including care and maintenance of the formerly operating Bellekeno mine, producing silver, lead and zinc in the form of concentrates (suspended in September 2013), as well includes exploration, underground development and evaluation activities. The Corporation’s executive head office and general corporate administration are included within ‘Corporate and other’ to reconcile the reportable segments to the consolidated financial statements. An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities, operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker with respect to resource allocation and for which discrete financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker for the Corporation is the Chief Executive Officer. Inter-segment transactions are recorded at amounts that reflect normal third-party terms and conditions, with inter-segment profits eliminated from the cost base of the segment incurring the charge. Revenue from non-Canadian customers of both operating segments was derived primarily from the United States.

Segmented information as at and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is summarized as follows:
