TIMMINS GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
(Unaudited in Canadian dollars, except for number of options and per share amounts)
 
1. NATURE 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 December 31, 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.
   
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND PRESENTATION
   
Restatement of September 30, 2010 interim financial statements
   
The September 30, 2010 figures have been restated to adjust for certain errors related to deferred stripping and future income tax liability. The Company expects to issue amended financial statements as at September 30, 2010 and for the three and six-month periods then ended. The effects of the restatement are summarized as follows:

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND PRESENTATION (continued)
     
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.
     
a) Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests
     
In January 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Handbook Sections 1582, Business Combinations (“Section 1582”), 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements (“Section 1601”) and 1602, Non-controlling Interests (“Section 1602”) which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581, Business Combinations (“Section 1581”) and 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements. Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Sections 1601 and 1602 establish standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the accounting for non-controlling interests in financial statements that are equivalent to the standards under !FRS. Section 1582 is required for the Company’s. business combinations with acquisition dates on or after April 1, 2011. Sections 1601 and 1602 are required for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. Earlier adoption of these sections is permitted, which requires that all three sections be adopted at the same time.
     
Under Section 1582, business combinations are accounted for under the “acquisition method”, compared to the “purchase method” previously required by Section 1581. The significant changes that result from applying the acquisition method of Section 1582 include: (i) the definition of a business is broadened to include development stage entities, and therefore more acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations rather than asset acquisitions; (ii) the measurement date for equity interests issued by the acquirer is the acquisition date instead of a few days before and after terms are agreed to and announced, which may significantly change the amount recorded for the acquired business if share prices differ from the agreement and announcement date to the acquisition date; (iii) all future adjustments to income tax estimates are recorded as income tax expense or recovery, whereas under Section 1581, certain changes in income tax estimates were recorded to goodwill; (iv) acquisition related costs, other than costs to issue debt or equity securities, of the acquirer, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, valuation fees, and other professional or consulting fees are expensed as incurred, whereas under Section 1581, these costs were capitalized as part of the cost of the business combination; (v) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at 100% of fair value even if less than 100% is obtained, whereas under Section 1581, only the controlling interest’s portion was recorded at fair value; and (vi) non-controlling interests are recorded at their proportionate share of fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, whereas under Section 1581, non-controlling interests were recorded at their share of carrying value of net assets acquired.
     
Under Section 1602, non-controlling interests are measured at 100% of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. For presentation and disclosure purposes, non-controlling interests are classified as a separate component of equity. In addition, Section 1602 changes the manner in which increases and decreases in ownership percentages are accounted for. Changes in ownership percentages are recorded as equity transactions and no gain or loss is recognized as long as the parent retains control of the subsidiary. When a parent company deconsolidates a subsidiary but retains a non-controlling interest, the non-controlling interest is re-measured at fair value on the date control is lost and a gain or loss is recognized at that time. Under Section 1602, accumulated losses attributable to non-controlling interests are no longer limited to the original carrying amount, and therefore non-controlling interests could have a negative carrying amount.
     
b) 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 2011, with restatement of comparative information presented.

e) Other Properties
   
In November 23, 2010 the Company entered into a property option agreement to earn an interest in the San Onesimo, Zindy and San Fernando mineral concessions located in the State of Zacatecas, Mexico. To earn its interest the Company is required to make payments of up to US$2 million at various dates up to January 2015.
   
On November 24, 2010 the Company entered into a property option agreement to earn an interest in the Quila mineral concession located in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. To earn its interest the Company is required to make payments of up to US$1 million and incur exploration expenditures of up to US$2 million at various dates up to November 2013.

7. VENDOR LOAN AND RESTRICTED CASH
   
Under the San Francisco Property Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company agreed to purchase certain mine equipment, buildings and mining concessions from the vendor for US$4,025,000 ($4,004,265) including IVA. Originally, payment for the mine equipment and buildings was to be made at any time prior to March 11, 2010 amounting to US$2,300,000 ($2,288,151) including IVA. During the three months period ended December 31, 2010, an order was issued by Mexico Tax Administration Service (“SAT”) requiring the Company to directly pay amounts owed under the Arrangement to SAT through a process similar to a garnishment order. This was done to cover liabilities owed by the vendor to SAT. During February 2011, the order was overturned and the funds are no longer being held to satisfy the vendor’s obligations and thus the Company is liable to the vendor under the original terms of the Agreement. The Company has commenced the proceedings necessary to return the restricted funds held by an institutional bank and payment to the vendor is expected to be made when the funds are returned to the Company.
   
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Stock-based compensation

The total fair value of stock options recognized as an expense during the nine months period ended December 31, 2010 was $1,379,271 (2009 - $454,364).There were no option grants in the period ended December 31, 2010.

The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes valuation of stock options and agents’ compensation options granted:

         
      Year ended  
      March 31, 2010  
  Risk-free interest rate   1 – 2.75%  
  Expected life of options   1-4 years  
  Annualized volatility   89 – 119%  
  Dividend rate   0.00%  

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table above. Because Black-Scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumption for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise pattern within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behaviour are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given above results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviour. The risk-free rate is based on the Canadian government bonds rate.

  Change in estimate   -     737,083  
               
  Balance, end of the period $  961,107   $  929,382  

The asset retirement obligations consist of mine closure, reclamation and retirement obligations for mine facilities and infrastructure.

During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company reassessed its asset retirement obligation estimate based on an independent technical report and to reflect the additional liability incurred with the commencement of mining operations. The total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the retirement obligations of the San Francisco Property is US$1,041,244 ($1,057,487), which has been discounted using a credit-adjusted interest rate of 6.674% . All asset retirement obligations are not expected to be paid for several years in the future and are intended to be funded from cash balances at the time of the mine closure.

11. LONG TERM DEBT

On January 22, 2010, the Company issued US $15 million in principal amount of gold-linked notes (the “Gold Loan”) to Sprott Asset Management LP. Included with the notes was an aggregate of 3 million share purchase warrants allowing the holder to acquire common shares of the Company at a price of $0.80 for up to 24 months. (The warrants were valued at $1,830,000.) The proceeds received have been recorded separately for the warrants and for the resulting debt and at issuance, the debt was recorded at US$13,361,213 ($14,137,500).

The Gold Loan is to be repaid in 12 monthly installments commencing in September 2010. Each monthly payment will be the US$ cash equivalent of 1,667 ounces of gold. In addition, the Company has guaranteed the holders of the Gold Loan to receive a minimum payment over the term of the loan of US$18,375,000 ($18,275,775). The loan is secured by among other things, a first charge on the assets of MdN. After evaluating the expected payments to be made, and after considering the separate recognition of the warrants referred to above, the debt is recorded at a discount to its face value.

As a result of the indexation of the principal repayments to the movement in the price of gold, the Company has determined that the Gold Loan contains a derivative which is embedded in the $US denominated debt instrument (the “Embedded Derivative”). This derivative is the equivalent of a series of 12 USD/Gold forward contracts which mature on each of the principal dates. As a result, the value of the loan is revalued each period to recognize the change in value of the derivative with changes in the value being recorded as interest expense. In addition, the debt discount is amortized using the effective interest method to each of the scheduled principal payment dates.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, total interest expense recorded on the debt was $10,985,280 including $6,129,198 ($1,838,813 for the three months ended December 31, 2010) related to the recognition of the fair value of the Embedded Derivative.

13. 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, and the Gold Loan and other long term liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. The fair value of the accounts payable and the vendor loan approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the obligations. The fair value of the Gold Loan at December 31, 2010 was $17,856,576 (March 31, 2010: $18,138,266) and was calculated using a discounted cash flow using market-based assumptions.

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.

  b) Categories of Financial Assets and Liabilities

At December 31, 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 at fair value. 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 $  4,595,992   $  -  
  Restricted Cash   1,710,387     -  
  Embedded Derivative   -     4,084,589

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies. At December 31, 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. The Gold Loan is recognized in two components with the debt host instrument recorded at its accreted principal amount. The Embedded Derivative is recorded in addition to the principal and is recorded at fair value.

14. 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 $ 106,270  
  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 $1,068,659 (March 31, 2010 - $1,035,590).
