enCore Energy Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited – Prepared by Management
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022
(Expressed in USD unless otherwise noted)

 

1.Nature of operations and going concern

 

enCore Energy Corp. was incorporated on October 30, 2009 under the Laws of British Columbia, Canada. enCore Energy Corp., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “enCore”), is principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium resource properties in the United States. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE American Market under the symbol “EU.” The Company’s corporate headquarters is located at 101 N Shoreline, Suite 450, Corpus Christi, TX 78401.

 

On September 14, 2022, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding shares on a ratio of three old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share (the “Share Consolidation”). All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this Share Consolidation.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The Company has no source of operating cash flow and operations to date have been funded primarily from the issue of share capital. These factors give rise to material uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $5,688,316 (September 30, 2022 - $10,760,766), had working capital of $17,617,426 (December 31, 2022 - $7,017,115), and an accumulated deficit of $54,555,693 (December 31, 2022 - $48,867,377). The Company’s long-term continued operations are dependent on its abilities to monetize assets or raise additional funding from loans, equity financings, or other arrangements. There is no assurance that future financing activities will be successful.

 

These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Geopolitical uncertainty

 

Geopolitical uncertainty driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led many governments and utility providers to re-examine supply chains and procurement strategies reliant on nuclear fuel supplies coming out of, or through, Russia. Sanctions, restrictions, and an inability to obtain insurance on cargo have contributed to transportation and other supply chain disruptions between producers and suppliers. As a result of this and coupled with multiple years of declining uranium production globally, uranium market fundamentals are shifting from an inventory driven market to one more driven by production.

(Expressed in USD unless otherwise noted)

 

2.Material accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. All dollar amounts presented are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”) unless otherwise specified. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

 

These financial statements were approved for issuance by the audit committee of the Board of Directors on November 7, 2023.

 

Material accounting policies

 

The accounting policies, estimates and critical judgments, methods of computation and presentation applied in these financial statements are consistent with those of the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements and are those the Company expects to adopt in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

These financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise specified. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company changed its presentation currency from Canadian Dollars to U.S. Dollars. The change in presentation currency is to improve investors’ ability to compare the Company’s financial results with other publicly traded businesses in the exploration industry.

 

The functional currency of enCore Energy Corp. is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar and based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which these subsidiaries operate.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.

 

On consolidation, the parent Company’s financial statements are translated into the presentation currency, being the U.S. Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period in which they arise. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity.

2.Material accounting policies (continued)

 

Basis of consolidation

 

These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. Power over an investee exists when an investor has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. This control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a Company’s share capital. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its significant subsidiaries listed in the following table:

2.Material accounting policies (continued)

 

Newly adopted accounting standards and interpretations

 

Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the following amendments:

 

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) – the amendments require that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.

 

Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) – the amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.” Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.

 

The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the results of its operations and financial position.

10.Asset acquisition

 

In November 2022, the Company, and Energy Fuels, Inc (“Energy Fuels”) entered into a Definitive Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions in the Definitive Agreement, on February 14, 2023, the Company acquired the Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery uranium project (“Alta Mesa”).

 

The aggregate amount of the total consideration was $120,574,541 calculated by taking into account: a cash payment of $60,000,000, the issuance of a $60,000,000 secured vendor takeback convertible promissory note, the issuance of 44,681 enCore stock options (the “Replacement Options”) in replacement of options held by Energy Fuels option holders, valued at $81,414 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and total transaction costs of $493,127 associated with the Arrangement.

The transaction did not qualify as a business combination according to the definition in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, accordingly, it has been accounted for as an asset acquisition with the purchase price being allocated based on the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities summarized as follows:

 

Consideration  $ 
Cash   60,000,000 
Convertible promissory note   60,000,000 
Fair value of replacement options   81,414 
Transaction costs   493,127 
Total consideration value   120,574,541 

 

Net assets acquired  $ 
Prepaids   42,374 
Property, plant, and equipment   6,111,000 
Mineral properties   120,196,484 
Asset retirement obligations   (5,488,969)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (286,348)
Total net assets acquired   120,574,541 

 

The value of the replacement options has been derived using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

 

Weighted Average    
Exercise Price  $3.10 
Share price  $3.20 
Discount Rate   3.39%
Expected life (years)   5.00 
Volatility   99.48%
Fair value of replacement options (CAD per option):  $2.43 

 

The fair value of the Replacement Options is based on the issuance of 44,681 options with a fair value of $108,636 CAD ($81,414).

14.Share capital (continued)

 

Share subscriptions received

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company held in escrow CAD $67,596,720 ($51,558,624) in share subscriptions pertaining to a financing that closed concurrently with the Company’s acquisition of Alta Mesa (Note 10).

 

Convertible promissory note

 

On February 14, 2023, the Company (through enCore Energy US Corp.) issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in connection with the Alta Mesa acquisition (Note 10).

 

The principal value of the Note is $60,000,000, and the Note is secured by certain assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement, a Security Agreement, and a Guaranty Agreement between the parties.

 

The principal portion of the Note is convertible at any time and at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $2.9103 per share until maturity on February 14, 2025, and bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Commencing on June 30, 2023, the Company makes semi-annual interest only payments on June 30 and December 31, of each year through to maturity.

 

The Note was valued initially by measuring the fair value of the liability component using an 12% discount rate, and by allocating the residual (using the residual value method) to the equity conversion feature. Certain transaction costs associated with the Note were not included in the discounting of the Note as they were allocated as consideration for the asset acquisition completed as a whole (Note 10).

 

A reconciliation of the convertible debenture components is as follows:

16.Management of capital

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the exploration, evaluation, and development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. 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. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue debt, and acquire or dispose of assets.

 

The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its primary source of operating capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets, the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for investor support of its projects.

 

The Company considers the components of shareholders’ equity as capital.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

17.Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments include cash, receivables and marketable securities and any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one party and a financial liability or equity instrument to another party. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:

 

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 inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

Marketable securities are measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies these investments as financial assets whose value is derived from quoted prices in active markets and carries them at FVTPL.

 

The Company classifies its cash, restricted cash and receivables as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liability, due to related parties, notes payable, and convertible promissory note are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s convertible promissory note, and lease liabilities approximates fair value as they bear a rate of interest commensurate with market rates.

 

Investments in uranium are measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies these investments as financial assets measured at fair value as determined based on the most recent month-end spot prices for uranium published by UxC and converted to Canadian dollars at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position.

17.Financial instruments (continued)

 

Discussions of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are detailed below:

  

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that future cash flows, net income and comprehensive income will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As the Company’s operations are conducted internationally, operations and capital activity may be transacted in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity party to the transaction.

 

The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposures to foreign currency cash flows by obtaining most of its estimated annual U.S. cash requirements and holding the remaining currency in Canadian dollars. The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and consolidated statement of financial position exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The following table provides an indication of the Company’s foreign currency exposures during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2023   2022 
   $   $ 
Cash   78,580    1,140,190 
Marketable Securities - Current   1,684,570    222,750 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (33,037)   (25,687)
    1,730,113    1,337,253 

 

A 10% change in Canadian/US foreign exchange rate at period end would have changed the net loss of the Company, assuming that all other variables remained constant, by $1,291,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (2022 - $1,337,253).

 

The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions and receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of these financial assets. The Company’s cash is primarily held with a major Canadian bank.

 

Market risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities (Note 6). The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the September 30, 2023 value of marketable securities every 10% increase or decrease in the share prices of their holdings would have impacted loss for the period, up or down, by approximately $1,887,000 (2022 - $395,000) before income taxes.

 

Further, the Company is in the exploration stage and commodity prices are not reflected in operating financial results. However, fluctuations in commodity prices may influence financial markets and may indirectly affect the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk mainly arises from the Company’s cash, which receives interest based on market interest rates. Fluctuations in interest cash flows due to changes in market interest rates are not significant.

17.Financial instruments (continued)

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its current obligations as they become due. The majority of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are payable in less than 90 days. The Company prepares annual exploration and administrative budgets and monitors expenditures to manage short-term liquidity. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, funding for long-term liquidity needs is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing through various means, including equity financing.

 

18.Segmented information

 

The Company operates in a single segment: the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the United States.
