1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   

Timmins Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 17, 2005 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing and operating mineral resource properties in Mexico, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timmins Goldcorp Mexico, S.A. de C.V and Molimentales del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V. (“MdN”) ( collectively the “Subsidiary”). MdN owns the San Francisco Mine which was placed into commercial production on April 1, 2010. The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The recovery of the Company's investment in its resource properties is dependent upon sale of mineral products produced from these properties, the possible sale of any of its resource properties and the ability to raise sufficient capital to continue to explore, develop and operate these properties at a profit.

   

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements do not include in all respects the annual disclosure requirements of GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual statements for years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2010 and for all periods presented, have been included in these financial statements. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year ending March 31, 2010 or future operating periods. For further information, see the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto.

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or to continue to raise adequate financing. Since its inception, the Company has reported losses from operations, except for the income reported in this most recent quarter, resulting in a deficit of $15.65 million. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.96 million and a working capital deficit of $8.03 million.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND PRESENTATION

   

Restatement of June 30, 2010 interim financial statements

   

The June 30, 2010 figures have been restated to correct for certain errors related to deferred stripping, depreciation, future income tax recoveries, long-term debt, accrued interest and loss on embedded derivative. The restatement is summarized as follows:


      June 30, 2010

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND PRESENTATION (continued)

     

Reclassification

     

The comparative financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year financial statements; specifically the Statement of Operations has been reclassified following the commencement of commercial operations at the San Francisco Mine on April 1, 2010.

     

New accounting pronouncements

     

CICA has issued new standards which may affect the financial disclosures and results of operations of the Company. The Company will adopt the requirements on the date specified in each respective section and is considering the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements.

     
b)

Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests

     

CICA sections 1582, 1601 and 1602 replace the former CICA 1581, Business Combinations and CICA 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. CICA 1582 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011. CICA 1601 and CICA 1602 apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

     
c)

Comprehensive revaluation of assets and liabilities

     

In August 2009, the CICA amended Section 1625, Comprehensive revaluation of assets and liabilities. This section has been amended as a result of issuing Business combinations, Section 1582, Consolidated financial statements, Section 1601, and Non-controlling interests, Section 1602, in January 2009. The amendments apply prospectively to comprehensive revaluations of assets and liabilities occurring in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. If the Company adopts this section for a fiscal year beginning before January 1, 2011, it also adopts Section 1582. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

     
d)

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

     

In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Accordingly, the conversion to IFRS will be applicable to the Company’s reporting no later than in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011, with restatement of comparative information presented.

Under the San Francisco Property Acquisition Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase certain mine equipment and buildings from the vendor for US $4,025,000 (or $4,237,200). Originally, payment for the mine equipment and buildings was to be made at any time prior to March 11, 2010, without interest. Therefore to March 31, 2010, the full acquisition price of the US dollar denominated debt had been discounted at an annualized rate of 6.775% to reflect the implied interest rate. The final payment on this obligation in the amount of US $1,730,774 (or Canadian $1,775,715) is expected to be paid by December 2010.

LONG TERM DEBT

On January 22, 2010, the Company issued US$15 million in notes to Sprott Asset Management LP (the “Gold Loan”). Gold Loan holders were also granted an aggregate of 3 million share purchase warrants exercisable for 24 months at a price of $0.80. These warrants were valued at $1,745,436. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: (i) volatility-67%, (ii) interest rate-1.21%, (iii) term-730 days and (iv) dividends-nil. During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, 1,000,000 of these warrants were exercised.

The Gold Loan is to be repaid in 12 equal monthly installments commencing August 2010. At the time of payment, each payment shall be equivalent in value to 1,667 ounces of gold (a total of 20,004 ounces). The Company has guaranteed the Gold Loan holders a minimum rate of return of 15% per annum and the Gold Loan is secured by among other things a first charge on the assets of MdN.

The total loan payable at the initial transaction date was $14,137,500. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, the interest expense on this debt was $3,936,159. As of March 31, 2010, the Company accrued and capitalized to mineral property $1.37 million of interest expense which amount was recorded as current portion of long term debt. In addition, in accordance with CICA section 3855 the Company fair valued an embedded derivative associated with this liability and a charge to earnings of $3,559,060 was recorded as a debt.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 

   
  a) Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In accordance with Canadian GAAP, financial instruments are classified into one of the five following categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and other financial liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as held-for-trading and their carrying value approximates fair value as they are cash or they are readily convertible to cash in the normal course. Accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties are classified as loans and receivables. Their carrying value approximates fair value due to their limited time to maturity and ability to convert them to cash in the normal course. Accounts payable , the vendor loan, the Gold Loan and other long term debt are classified as other financial liabilities. Accretion on the vendor loan has been determined using a market related interest rate and the amortized cost of the Gold Loan is calculated using the effective interest rate method and as such their carrying values approximate fair value.

Amended CICA section 3862 establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and

Level 3- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.

At September 30, 2010, the following table sets forth the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured and recognized in the balance sheet. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

      Level 1     Level 2  
               
  Cash and cash equivalents $  3,963,236   $  -  
  Embedded derivative   -     3,559,060

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

     

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies. At September 30, 2010, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the balance sheet at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

     
b)

Derivative Financial instruments

     

The Company may utilize financial instruments to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in the market prices of gold and silver and foreign exchange rates. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had not entered into any such derivative contracts.

     
c)

Risk Management

     

The Company’s operations consist of acquiring, exploring and developing and operating mineral resource properties in Mexico. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risks. The Company’s risk management program strives to evaluate the unpredictability of financial and commodity markets and its objective is to minimize the potential adverse effects of such risks on the Company’s financial performance, where financially feasible to do so. When deemed material, these risks may be monitored by the Company’s corporate finance group and they are regularly discussed with the Board of Directors or one of its committees.

     

(i) Credit risk

     

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements. The Company’s credit risk is predominantly limited to cash balances held in financial institutions, the recovery of IVA from the Mexican tax authorities and for any gold and silver sales and related receivables. The maximum exposure to the credit risk is equal to the carrying value of such financial assets. At September 30, 2010, the Company expects to recover the full amount of such assets.

     

The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to minimize potential losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the quality of its counterparties, taking into account their credit worthiness and reputation, past performance and other factors. Cash and short term investments are only deposited with or held by major financial institutions where the Company conducts its business. In order to manage credit and liquidity risk the Company invests only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of three months or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rating.

     

Gold and silver sales are made to a limited number of large international organizations specializing in the precious metals markets. The Company believe them to be of sound credit worthiness and to date, all receivable have been settled in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions.

     

(ii) Commodity price risks

     

Beginning with the commissioning of the San Francisco Mine, the Company is exposed to price risk associated with the volatility of the market price of commodities and in particular gold and silver and also to many consumables that are used in the production of gold and silver dore. The prices of most commodities are determined in international markets and as such the Company has limited or no ability to control or predict the future level of most commodity prices. In some instances, the Company may have the ability to enter into derivative financial instruments to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in the price of commodities such as gold, silver, oil and electricity. At this time, the Company has elected not to actively manage its exposure to commodity price risk through the use of derivative financial instruments.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

     

The Company entered into the Gold Loan to partially finance the resumption of mining activities at the San Francisco Mine. As repayment of this obligation is referenced to the spot price of gold, any increase in the price of gold will increase the cost of borrowing related to this financing. For example, at September 30, 2010 for each (US) $100 per ounce increase in the price of gold, the cost of repaying this obligation will increase by (US) $1,667,000 over remaining ten monthly payments.

     
(iii)

Liquidity risk

     

The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements and its exploration and production plans. Because the Company remains in its formative stages, no assurance may be given that external financing will be available should the Company’s Board of Director determine that such financing will be necessary. The Company's overall liquidity risk has increased since the San Francisco mine was placed into commercial production.

     
(iv)

Currency risk

     

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and therefore the Company's net loss and other comprehensive loss are impacted by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the Canadian dollar. The Company's foreign currency exposures comprise cash and cash equivalents, metal sales and accounts receivable, accounts payable,

     

accrued liabilities, the Gold Loan and future income tax liabilities, denominated in Mexican pesos and United States dollars. The San Francisco Mine has operating costs that may be denominated in or referenced to either the Mexican peso or the United States dollar. In addition, several of the Company’s agreements to acquire properties in Mexico may result in option payments by the Company denominated in Mexican pesos or in United States dollars. At the present time, the Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Appreciation in the Mexican peso and the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar will increase the cost of operations in Mexico. A decrease in the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar will result in a loss to the extent that funds are held in United States dollars and its revenue will fall as gold and silver are priced in United States dollars.. The Company partially offsets its exposure to foreign exchange risk, principally with respect to the Mexican peso, by maintaining currency balances in Mexican pesos to offset operating costs, amounts payable and tax liabilities that are denominated in pesos. Some balance sheet and income statement exposure remains as it is not possible to fully forecast the peso currency requirements and peso receipts in future periods. The Company is also exposed to inflation risk in Mexico.

     

The approximate sensitivity of the Company’s net loss and other comprehensive loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 due to changes in the exchange rate for the Mexican peso in relation to the Canadian dollar is summarized in the following table expressed as a decrease in the net income and comprehensive income for each 10% appreciation in the peso against the Canadian dollar:


     
  Net loss and other comprehensive loss $ 1.5 million

A 10% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar would have a similar increase in net income.

A 10% appreciation in the US dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar would have increased the Company’s net income and comprehensive income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, 2010 by approximately:

     
  Net loss and other comprehensive loss $ 2.8 million

A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have a similar decrease in net income.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(v) Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest revenue earned on cash and cash equivalents is exposed to interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts to manage this risk, and the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is very low as the Company has limited short term investments. In addition, the Company has and may incur additional interest bearing debt obligations. The Company has elected not to enter into interest rate swaps or other instruments to actively manage such risks. In addition, in January, 2010, the Company entered into the Gold Loan and increases in the price of gold will increase the effective borrowing cost of this obligation (see Commodity price risk). The Company has chosen not to hedge its exposure to changes in the price of gold with respect to the Gold Loan.

(vi) Fair value disclosures

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable approximate their fair value based on their short term nature. The carrying value of the vendor loan approximates its fair value as it has been discounted at an interest rate approximating current market rates. The carrying value of the gold loan approximates fair value as it has been amortized using the effective interest method and its embedded derivative is fair valued at each reporting period.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


  a)

The Company has lease commitments for office premises and equipment, which require future minimum lease payments for the fiscal years ended as follows:


  2011 (six months) $  81,105  
  2012   13,520  

The lease commitments include a guarantee provided by the Company for the office premises at its corporate office.

  b)

Under Mexican regulations, the Company may be obligated to remit taxes to the government on payments made for the acquisition of mineral claims in the event that the recipients of such payments fail to make the required tax remittances relating to those payments. The outcome of this matter is not determinable. The maximum potential remittance is approximately $477,649; however, the Company believes it has substantive defenses against any claims.

     
  c)

On March 1, 2010, the Company re-entered into a consulting agreement with Grandich Publications, LLC (“Grandich”). Grandich is paid a monthly fee of US$2,000. The agreement was for a period of twelve months.

     
  d)

The Company has entered into a mining contract with Peal de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Peal”). The contract is for 42 months, and is at a contracted price of US$1.59 per ton (plus IVA). Under the Peal contract, the Company is responsible for demobilization costs of US$900,000 (plus IVA) payable one month prior to the end of the mining contract. These obligations have been recorded at an annualized discount rate of 6.775%, reflecting the implied interest rate, and calculated according to the formula stipulated in the contract. This obligation is recorded at $1,080,293 (March 31, 2010 - $1,035,590).
