NEXGEN ENERGY LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
(Unaudited)
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 & 2016
1.
REPORTING ENTITY
NexGen Energy Ltd. (“NexGen” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage entity engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of uranium properties in Canada. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on December 20, 2011. The Company’s registered records office is located on the 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1B3.
On April 19, 2013, the Company (as it was then called, Clermont Capital Inc. (“Clermont”)) completed its qualifying transaction, which was effected pursuant to an amalgamation agreement dated December 31, 2012 (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) amongst Clermont, 0957633 B.C. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clermont, and NexGen Energy Ltd. (“Old NexGen”). Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, the shareholders of Old NexGen were issued one common share of Clermont (on a post-share consolidation basis) for every one Old NexGen common share held immediately prior to the completion of the amalgamation. In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, Clermont also completed a consolidation of its common shares on a 2.35:1 basis and changed its name to “NexGen Energy Ltd.”.  The Company’s acquisition of Old NexGen was accounted for as a reverse takeover.
Following Exchange approval, on April 23, 2013, the Company was a Tier 2 Issuer classified as a mineral exploration and development company. The Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “NXE” on April 23, 2013.  On August 7, 2015, the Company began trading as a Tier 1 Issuer. On July 15, 2016, NexGen graduated and commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under its existing symbol. The Company’s common shares also trade on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “NXGEF”.
In February 2016, the Company incorporated four wholly owned subsidiaries: NXE Energy Royalty Ltd., NXE Energy SW1 Ltd., NXE Energy SW3 Ltd., and IsoEnergy Ltd. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries were incorporated to potentially hold certain exploration assets of the Company. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, certain exploration and evaluation assets were transferred to each of IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”), NXE Energy SW1 Ltd. and NXE Energy SW3 Ltd. (Note 5). Subsequent to the transfer, IsoEnergy shares were issued to third parties pursuant to external financings, with NexGen retaining 71.7% of IsoEnergy’s outstanding common shares as at March 31, 2017.
2.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
As an exploration stage company, the Company does not have revenues and historically has recurring operating losses.  As at March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $58,220,798 and working capital of $63,044,791. Pursuant to an option agreement, IsoEnergy is required to spend $10 million prior to May 31, 2017 in order to earn a 70% interest in the Radio property (“Radio Option Agreement”) (Note 5). Therefore, in order to meet this requirement, IsoEnergy will need to raise additional funds or seek an amendment to the agreement. There is no guarantee IsoEnergy will be successful in doing so.
The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk. NexGen is an exploration company and is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage. These risks include, but are not limited to, the challenges of securing adequate capital; development and operational risks inherent in the mining industry; changes in government policies and regulations; the ability to obtain the necessary environmental permits or, alternatively NexGen's ability to dispose of its exploration and evaluation assets on an advantageous basis; as well as global economic and uranium price volatility; all of which are uncertain.
The underlying value of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves and is subject to, but not limited to, the risks and challenges identified above. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS”) for annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Accordingly, accounting policies applied other than as discussed in Note 4 are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements.  These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2017.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value, including the Convertible Debentures issued by the Company (Note 8). In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to Canadian dollar amounts (“$”). These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using a convertible note valuation model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
4.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 4 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements except for the following change in accounting policy:
Change in accounting policy:
In the prior year, the proceeds allocated to the flow-through premium was recognized as “income on reduction of flow-through premium liability” in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the period that the flow-through proceeds were spent on eligible exploration expenditures.  In the current period, this premium is measured on the same basis, however, it is recorded as a deferred tax benefit. The Company voluntarily changed this classification with a view to better present the results of the Company. There is no impact on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss or on the statement of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2016 nor on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2016 as flow-through shares were not issued until the third quarter of 2016.
Future accounting pronouncements:
The following standards have not been adopted by the Company and are being evaluated to determine their impact:
·
IFRS 9: New standard that replaced IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial instruments, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.
·
IFRS 16: New standard that will replace IAS 17 for the accounting and measurement of leases with a term of more than 12 months, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.
·
IFRS 2: This standard was amended to clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations, and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The extent of the impact of adoption of the amended standard has not yet been determined.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
 
a)
Rook 1 Property
Pursuant to an agreement to purchase mineral claims dated June 20, 2005 (as amended), Titan Uranium Inc. (“Titan”) purchased dispositions S-113928 through S-113933 from 455702 B.C. Ltd. and 643990 B.C. Ltd.  The remainder of the claims comprising the Rook I Project was subsequently ground staked by Titan in 2007 and 2008.  In 2012, pursuant to a mineral property acquisition agreement between Titan and Mega Uranium Ltd. (“Mega”), Titan sold the property to Mega.  NexGen acquired the Rook I Property from Mega pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 14, 2012.
The Rook I Project is located in Northern Saskatchewan, approximately 40 kilometres (km) east of the Saskatchewan – Alberta border, approximately 150 km north of the town of La Loche and 640 km northwest of the City of Saskatoon.
The Rook I Project consists of 32 contiguous mineral claims totalling 35,065 hectares.  The Arrow deposit is situated on claim S-113927.  The mineral dispositions that make up the Rook I Project are in good standing until, between May 13, 2019 and June 13, 2038.
NexGen has a 100% interest in the claims subject only to: (i) a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”); and (ii) a 10% production carried interest, in each case, only on claims S-113928 to S-113933. The NSR may be reduced to 1% upon payment of $1 million. The 10% production carried interest provides for the owner to be carried to the date of commercial production.
b)
Other Athabasca Basin Properties
Other Athabasca Basin properties comprises various mineral claims throughout the region.
On May 1, 2014, the Company issued 361,930 common shares valued at $119,436 to Long Harbour Exploration Corp. (now NxGold Ltd. (“NxGold”)) to acquire a 75% interest in, and an option to acquire the remaining 25% interest in, five mineral claims comprising the Madison Lake and 2Z Lake properties.  The Company also paid $15,000 in finder’s fees.
On October 15, 2015, two corporate officers of the Company were appointed to the Board of Directors of NxGold.
On February 26, 2016, the Company issued 49,861 common shares recorded at the quoted market price of $48,864 at the time of issuance to NxGold on the exercise of its option to acquire the remaining 25% interest in mineral claims comprising the Madison Lake and 2Z Lake properties. The Company also paid $5,000 in finder’s fees. These mineral claims are subject to a royalty of 2% of net smelter returns and a 2% gross overriding royalty on production from the property.
On June 16, 2016, NexGen entered into an agreement with its subsidiaries, NXE Energy SW1 Ltd.  (“SW1”) and NXE Energy SW3 Ltd. (“SW3”), to transfer certain of its exploration assets to SW1 and SW3.

The Radio property is located in Northern Saskatchewan.  In December 2011, Tigers Realm Minerals Pty Ltd (“Tigers Realm”), a shareholder of NexGen, entered into the Radio Option Agreement with three arm’s length individuals (collectively, the “Optionors”) pursuant to which Tigers Realm was granted the exclusive right and option to earn an undivided 70% interest in the Radio property in exchange for a combination of cash, shares and an obligation to incur certain exploration expenditures. On February 21, 2012, Tigers Realm assigned all of its interest in the Radio Option Agreement to NexGen in exchange for the issue of 21,999,997 common shares of NexGen.
The Radio Option Agreement was subsequently amended by agreements dated June 5, 2012, November 23, 2012, April 12, 2013, June 25, 2013, and June 28, 2013.  As of December 31, 2013, NexGen had satisfied all of its obligations under the Radio Option Agreement except an obligation to incur $15,000,000 of expenditures over a two-year period ending March 31, 2015.
By agreement dated January 15, 2014, the Radio Option Agreement was further amended to delete the expenditure requirement described above and instead require that NexGen incur expenditures of $10,000,000 between January 1, 2014 and May 31, 2017, in exchange for 5,714,286 units (issued) priced at $0.35 per unit, each unit comprising one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company, where each warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.50 into one common share of the Company until May 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, $2,110,061 have been incurred towards IsoEnergy's expenditure obligation under the Radio Option Agreement.
Upon IsoEnergy earning a 70% interest in the Radio property, IsoEnergy and the Optionors will be deemed to have formed a joint venture with IsoEnergy having an initial 70% interest therein and the Optionors having an initial 30% interest and the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate the terms of a joint venture agreement. The Optionors’ 30% interest shall be free carried until the commencement of commercial production after which all costs and expenses (other than those incurred in connection with an expansion in respect of which the Optionors shall be free carried) shall be pro rata to the parties’ respective interest in the joint venture.
The Radio Option Agreement provides that the Optionors shall retain a 2% net smelter royalty and a 2% gross overriding royalty on production from the property, calculated in accordance with the Radio Option Agreement.  The gross overriding royalty applies only to gems and gemstones.

COMMITMENTS
Flow-through expenditures:
The Company periodically issues flow-through shares with any resulting flow-through premium recorded as a flow-through share premium liability. The liability is subsequently reduced when the required exploration expenditures are made, and accordingly, a recovery of flow-through premium is recorded as income.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, IsoEnergy, raised $4,328,100 through the issuance of flow-through shares and is required to spend this amount on eligible exploration expenditures by December 31, 2017.  As of March 31, 2017, IsoEnergy fulfilled $3,834,774 of the required exploration expenditures with a further commitment of $493,326 to be spent by December 31, 2017. A $393,464 flow-through share premium liability was initially recorded on issuance and was subsequently reduced to $44,849 as of March 31, 2017 as IsoEnergy fulfilled a portion of its obligation towards spending the required eligible exploration expenditures.
A continuity of the flow-through share premium liability is as follows:

On June 10, 2016, the Company issued US$60 million principal amount of convertible debentures (“Debentures”) which were determined to be a hybrid financial instrument comprised of the host debt contract and multiple embedded derivatives. At inception, the Company made an irrevocable election to designate the entire convertible debenture as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the entire convertible instrument was measured at fair value with associated transaction costs expensed as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, the convertible financial instrument is marked to market at each financial reporting date and any change in fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued)
The Company received gross proceeds of $76,416,000 (US$60 million) and net proceeds of $72,363,602 (US$56,852,383) after deducting $4,052,398 (US$3,147,617) in transaction costs from the issue of the Debentures. A 3% establishment fee of $2,292,480 (US$1.8 million) was also paid to the debenture holders through the issuance of 1,005,586 common shares. The fair value of the Debentures on issuance date was determined to be $74,123,520 (US$58.2 million).
The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in US dollars on June 10 and December 10 in each year, commencing on December 10, 2016.  Two thirds of the interest (equal to 5% per annum) is payable in cash and one third of the interest (equal to 2.5% per annum) is payable, subject to any required regulatory approval, in common shares of the Company, using the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common shares on the TSX or TSX-V (“Principal Exchange”) for the 20 trading days ending on the day prior to the date on which such interest payment is due. For this purpose, the VWAP shall be converted into US dollars on each of the 20 days in the period, using the noon rate of exchange for such currency as reported by the Bank of Canada. The Debentures mature on June 11, 2021.
The Debentures are convertible, from time to time, into common shares of the Company at the option of the debenture holders at any time prior to maturity at a price per common share of US$2.3261 (the “Conversion Price”).
The Debentures are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 10, 2019. On or after June 10, 2019 and prior to June 11, 2021, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time that the 20-day VWAP of the common shares exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price, on not less than 30 days’ prior notice to the debenture holders. For this purpose, the VWAP shall be converted into US dollars on each of the 20 days in the period, using the noon rate of exchange for such currency as reported by the Bank of Canada.
Upon completion of a change of control (which includes in the case of the holders right to redeem the Debentures, a change in the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), the holders of the Debentures or the Company may require the Company to purchase or the holders to redeem, as the case may be, any outstanding Debentures in cash at: (i) on or prior to June 10, 2019, 130% of the principal amount; and (ii) at any time thereafter, 115% of the principal amount, in each case plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any.  In addition, upon the public announcement of a change of control that is supported by the Board, the Company may require the holders of the Debentures to convert the Debentures into common shares at the Conversion Price provided the consideration payable upon the change of control exceeds the Conversion Price and is payable in cash.
A “change of control of the Company is defined as consisting of: (a) the acquisition by a person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert of voting control or direction over 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (b) the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which the holders of the common shares immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly, hold less than 50% of voting control or direction over the entity carrying on the business of the Company following such transaction; or (c) the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company to another entity in which the holders of the common shares immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly, hold less than 50% of voting control or direction over the other entity following such transaction.
The Debentures may not be converted and the holders of the Debentures may not tender any common shares of the Company held by them, in the event of an unsolicited take-over bid that is a change of control transaction until certain conditions are met including that the Board recommend the proposed change of control transaction or the bidder takes-up and pays for the number of common shares such that it holds 66 2/3% of the outstanding common shares on a fully-diluted basis.
The fair value of the Debentures increased from $70,811,801 (US$52,738,364) on December 31, 2016 to $90,971,749 (US$68,404,954) at March 31, 2017, resulting in a loss of $20,159,948 (US$15,158,995) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. The loss for the period ended March 31, 2017 was recorded in loss and comprehensive loss.
The Debentures were valued using a convertible bond pricing model based on a system of two coupled Black-Scholes equations where the debt and equity components are separately valued based on different default risks and assumptions.
The inputs used in the convertible debenture pricing model as at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results.  Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. There were no stock options granted in the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the weighted average grant date fair values for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017:

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business.
In the management of capital, the Company considers all components of equity and debt and is dependent on third party financing, whether through debt, equity, or other means.  Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining required financing in the future or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it determines that there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
12.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and Debentures.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value, due to their short-term maturities or ability of prompt liquidation. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables and are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost with accrued interest recorded in amounts receivable.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
 
·
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. derived from prices).
·
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s Debentures are re-measured at fair value at each reporting date with any change in fair value recognized in profit or loss (Note 8). The Debentures are classified as Level 2.
As at March 31, 2017, the Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
(a)
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments potentially subject to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with large Canadian and Australian banks. Credit risk is concentrated as a significant amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are held at one financial institution. Management believes the risk of loss to be remote. The Company’s amounts receivable consists of input tax credits receivable from the Government of Canada and interest accrued on cash equivalents. Accordingly, the Company does not believe it is subject to significant credit risk.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Fair Value Measurement, continued
(b)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital to meet short-term obligations. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2017, NexGen had cash and cash equivalents of $53,535,035 and short-term investments of $13,322,000 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4,845,820.
(c)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.
(i)
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company holds its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Due to the short‑term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances as of December 31, 2016. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy for short‑term investments included in cash equivalents. This policy focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity. The Company monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit rating of its banks. The Debentures, in a principal amount of US$60 million, carry a fixed interest rate of 7.5%.
(ii)
Foreign Currency Risk
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The Company is affected by currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. Consequently, fluctuations of the Canadian dollar in relation to other currencies impact the fair value of financial assets, liabilities and operating results. Financial assets and liabilities subject to currency translation risk primarily include Australian and US dollar denominated cash and Australian and US dollar accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company maintains an Australian dollar bank account in Australia and Canadian and US dollar bank accounts in Canada.
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its US dollar denominated Debentures. At maturity the US$60 million principal amount of the Debentures is due in full, and prior to then at a premium upon the occurrence of certain events, including a change of control. The Company holds sufficient US dollars to make all interest payments due under the Debentures until maturity but not to pay the principal amount.  Accordingly, the Company is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate that may make the Debentures more costly to repay.
(iii)
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Accordingly, significant movements in the Company’s share price may affect the valuation of the Debentures which may adversely impact its earnings.
Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. Future declines in commodity prices may impact the valuation of long-lived assets. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of uranium, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Sensitivity Analysis
As at March 31, 2017, the Company’s Australian dollar net financial assets were AUD $10,523 and its US dollar net financial liabilities were US$54,575,792.  Thus a 10% change in the Canadian dollar versus the Australian and US dollar exchange rates would give rise to a $7,269,516 change in loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
