GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation: The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are expressed in United States dollars and are prepared in conformance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”), its U.S. subsidiary GRC Nevada Inc. and its Mexican subsidiary Don David Gold Mexico S.A. de C.V. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

 

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all material normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. However, the results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2016 may not be indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: Accounting Standards Update 2016-09—Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to employee share-based payment accounting. On March 30, 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. The standard affects all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and was part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The areas for simplification in this standard involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this standard are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the financial statements and disclosures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical

Table of Contents

assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: 

 

Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; 

 

Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and 

 

Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). 

 

The following tables set forth certain of the Company’s assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Gold and silver rounds/bullion consist of precious metals used in the dividend program which are valued using quoted market prices. The Company’s current investments consist of marketable equity securities which are valued using quoted market prices. The Company determined that it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of its non-current investment in equity securities of $0.2 million and as such, it is reported at cost.

 

Trade accounts receivable include amounts due to the Company for shipments of concentrates and doré sold to customers. Concentrate sales contracts provide for provisional pricing as specified in such contracts. These sales contain an embedded derivative related to the provisional pricing mechanism which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to sales to reflect the mark-to-market of outstanding provisional invoices. Because these provisionally priced sales have not yet settled as of the reporting date, the mark-to-market adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date.

The Mexican government approved a 2016 Federal Revenue Act that provides tax incentives, including tax credits on Mexican Excise Duty (a.k.a., IEPS), for the acquisition of combustible fossils to be used in productive processes. Our Mexico operations utilize a significant amount of diesel fuel for power generation that qualifies for such tax credits. These tax credits can be applied against income taxes payable, as well as other income tax withholdings for 2016. The Company already applied $0.2 million of fuel tax credits against its taxes payable and anticipates to utilize the remainder by the end of the year.

 

The Company has asserted permanent reinvestment of all Mexico undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2015. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2016, net of foreign tax credits, is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company’s annualized effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to dividends from our Mexican subsidiary as well as differences in statutory rates for income and mining taxes in Mexico.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are available for deduction. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. As of June 30, 2016, the Company believes it has sufficient positive evidence to conclude that its federal and foreign deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. However, the Company has determined that the realization of its state deferred tax assets is not more likely that not to be realized and has a valuation allowance offsetting the state deferred tax assets.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the Company believes that it has no liability for uncertain tax positions.

12. Concentrate Sale Settlements

 

The Company records adjustments to sales of metals concentrate that result from final settlement of provisional invoices in the period that the final invoice settlement occurs. The Company also compares assays taken at the mine site on its concentrate shipments, upon which the Company’s provisional invoices are based, to assays obtained from samples taken at the buyer’s warehouse prior to final settlement, upon which the final invoices are in part based, to assess whether an adjustment to sales is required prior to final invoice settlement.

 

In addition to the final settlement adjustments on provisional invoices, the Company records a sales adjustment to mark-to-market outstanding provisional invoices at the end of each reporting period. These adjustments resulted in an increase to sales of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and a decrease to sales of nil and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Sales of metal concentrates are recorded net of smelter refining fees, treatment charges and penalties. Total charges for these items totaled $4.1 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $3.1 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

13. Equity Incentive Plans

 

The Company previously maintained a Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Grant Plan, approved by the Board of Directors in 1999 (“1999 Plan”.) In 2010, that plan was amended and restated as the Gold Resource Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Option and Stock Grant Plan and the number of shares reserved for issuance there under was increased to 10 million.

 

On April 14, 2016, the Board of Directors adopted the Gold Resource Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) and suspended the grant of any new awards under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan will remain in effect until all awards granted thereunder have been exercised, forfeited, cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated.

 

The 2016 Plan allows for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, stock grants, stock units, performance shares, performance share units and performance cash. All employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan. The current amount of common stock subject to grant under the 2016 Plan is 5.0 million shares. The 2016 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 15, 2016.

15. Net Income per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period, have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

 

Options to purchase 4.3 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $10.28 were outstanding at June 30, 2016 and 2015, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their exercise prices exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock for the respective periods presented.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion summarizes the results of operations of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, or “us”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and compares those results to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. It also analyzes our financial condition at June 30, 2016 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis and the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2015 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The discussion also presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) but are important to management in its evaluation of our operating results and which are used by management to compare our performance with what we perceive to be peer group mining companies, and are relied on as part of management’s decision-making process. Management believes these measures may also be important to investors in evaluating our performance. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the discussion below under Non-GAAP Measures.

 

See Forward-Looking Statements at the end of this Item 2 for important information regarding statements contained herein.

 

Overview

 

We are a mining company which pursues gold and silver projects that are expected to have both low operating costs and high returns on capital. We are presently focused on mineral production from the Aguila Project in Oaxaca, Mexico. Our processing facilities at the Aguila Project produce doré and concentrates primarily from ore mined from the Arista underground mine, which contains precious metals of gold and silver and base metals of copper, lead and zinc.

 

In our financial statements, we report the sale of precious metals and base metals as revenue and we periodically review our revenue streams to ensure that this treatment remains appropriate. We consider precious metals to be the primary driver of our economic decisions and believe that base metals are secondary products.

 

For the second quarter of 2016, our mill produced 10,011 gold ounces, 572,499 silver ounces, 320 copper tonnes, 1,009 lead tonnes and 3,813 zinc tonnes. During the same period, we sold 8,197 gold ounces and 548,537 silver ounces, or a total of 15,570 precious metal gold equivalent ounces, at a total cash cost per gold equivalent ounce of $317. Precious metal gold equivalent is determined by taking gold ounces produced or sold, plus silver ounces produced or sold converted to precious metal gold equivalent ounces using the gold to silver average price ratio for the period. The gold and silver average prices used to determine the gold to silver average price ratio are the actual metal prices realized from sales of our gold and silver. Please see the section titled Non-GAAP Measures below for additional information concerning the cash cost per ounce measures.

 

For the second quarter of 2016, we reported revenue of $26.2 million, mine gross profit of $12.4 million and net income of $5.6 million.

 

Exploration Activities

 

Oaxaca Mining Unit, Mexico

 

The Aguila Project: Our mine exploration activities during the second quarter of 2016 at the Aguila Project focused mainly on underground exploration drilling at the Switchback and Arista vein systems. The Switchback drilling program continued to target further exploration and delineation of the multiple high-grade parallel veins for reserve definition and mine plan optimization. A second Switchback ramp initiated from the 21 level of the Arista mine continued to advance during the second quarter to access previously delineated mineralized material at the Switchback vein system. In addition during the quarter, our mine exploration activities included step-out holes testing the mineralized extensions of the Baja and Splay 66 veins at our producing Arista underground mine. Twelve diamond drill holes totaling 3,594 meters were completed at the Aguila Project during the second quarter of 2016.

Table of Contents

 

Alta Gracia property: We have been granted a mining permit for this property and are awaiting the blasting permit before mining operations can commence at Alta Gracia. Once this final permit is granted we plan to begin development and access the mineralization by improving existing historic drift accesses. We will target small scale underground mining with delivery of mineralized material to our Aguila processing facility anticipated in the fourth quarter of this year. During the second quarter of 2016, surface and underground geological mapping and sampling commenced at Alta Gracia to identify additional areas for potential underground mining.

 

Las Margaritas property: Geological mapping and geochemical sampling was completed during the second quarter of 2016 on the new gold and silver mineralized zone called “Trenes” identified at Margaritas. An initial diamond drilling program for Trenes is being targeted for later in 2016.

 

Nevada Mining Unit, U.S.A.

 

Gold Mesa property: An initial surface drilling program was completed at Gold Mesa during the second quarter of 2016. The initial exploration drill program tested four target areas and consisted of forty-five holes totaling 1,780 meters. This drilling confirmed and extended previously known near surface gold mineralization at Gold Mesa. Significant intercepts included 15.24 meters of 6.27 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 33.54 meters of 1.89 g/t gold. Additional step-out drill holes and testing of other surface gold mineralized zones is targeted for later in 2016.

 

Radar property: During the second quarter of 2016, we terminated our lease agreement on the Radar gold property located in Nevada.

Metal sales of $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 increased by $2.9 million, or 13%, when compared to the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to higher gold and base metal production. Gold, copper, lead and zinc production increased by 47%, 9%, 7% and 26%, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2015. Stronger market prices for precious metals were also contributing factors to our increased sales. Gold and silver realized prices increased by 6% to $1,271 and 2% to $17.08, respectively, compared to the same period in 2015. Higher realized prices for gold and silver were partially offset by lower realized prices for base metals.

 

Metal sales of $43.6 million for the first half of 2016 decreased by $8.0 million, or 16%, when compared to the same period in 2015. This was primarily due to the 27% decrease in silver production and a 4% decrease in realized silver prices, as well as lower realized prices for copper, lead and zinc of 22%, 3% and 14%, respectively. The decrease in silver and base metals sales was slightly offset by higher realized gold prices.

Production 

 

For the second quarter of 2016, mill production totaled 10,011 ounces of gold and 572,499 ounces of silver, an increase of 47% and a decrease of 1%, respectively, over the same period in 2015. Second quarter 2016 production was significantly impacted by higher gold and base metals grades, when compared to the same period in 2015. We modified our Arista mine plan to allow for the mining of narrower, higher grade veins and supplemented the volume with lower grade, stockpiled open pit ore mined in years past. During the quarter we processed 10,608 tonnes of approximately 2 g/t gold of stockpiled open pit ore. The net effect of running stockpiled open pit ore is that it lowers the overall grades for all metals processed.

 

For the first half of 2016, mill production totaled 16,474 ounces of gold, an increase of 9% over the same period in 2015, while silver production totaled 1,006,640 ounces, a decrease of 27% from the same period in 2015.

 

We remain on target with our 2016 annual production outlook of 26,000 gold ounces and 1.9 million silver ounces.

 

On a precious metal gold equivalent basis, our mill production totaled 17,706 ounces and 29,445 ounces for the second quarter and first half of 2016, respectively. Please see the Production and Sales Statistics table below for additional information regarding our mineral production statistics.

 

We continue to focus on mining and development activities at the Arista underground mine. Our production rate and estimated average grades at Arista are a direct result of our mine development and the establishment of sufficient stopes and working faces, while maintaining development consistent with the mine plan. The Aguila mill’s flotation circuit processing capacity is a nominal 1,500 tonnes per day. Achieving this processing rate in the future is dependent upon our ability to develop the mine to a point where ore extraction can consistently achieve target capacity while meeting grade and dilution parameters. During the second quarter and first half of 2016, we processed 1,228 and 1,265 ore tonnes per operating day, respectively, compared to 1,127 and 1,077 ore tonnes per operating day, respectively, for the same periods in 2015.

 

The following table summarizes certain information about our mining operations:

(1)

For the second quarter and first half of 2016, this includes 10,608 and 27,305 tonnes, respectively of low-grade stockpile open pit ore.

(2)

Based on actual days the mill operated during the year.

(3)

Mill production represents metal contained in concentrates produced at the mill, which is before payable metal deductions are levied by the buyer of our concentrates. Payable metal deduction quantities are defined in our contracts with the buyer of our concentrates and represent an estimate of metal contained in the concentrates produced at our mill which the buyer cannot recover through the smelting process. There are inherent limitations and differences in the sampling method and assaying of estimated metal contained in concentrates that are shipped, and those contained metal estimates are derived from sampling methods and assaying throughout the mill production process. The Company monitors these differences to ensure that precious metal mill production quantities are materially correct.

(4)

Average metal prices realized vary from the market metal prices due to final settlement adjustments from our provisional invoices when they are settled. Our average metal prices realized will therefore differ from the market average metal prices in most cases.

Mine gross profit increased $5.5 million or 79% and decreased $5.1 million or 24% for the second quarter and first half of 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The second quarter 2016 gross profit increase was due to a reduction of production costs as a result of cost reduction efforts and overcoming 2015 challenges, including water inflow management and an unsanctioned work stoppage, as well as a significant reduction to the diesel fuel cost due to the fuel tax credit previously discussed (please see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Gross profit was also significantly impacted by higher sales volumes and higher realized prices for precious metals, partially offset by lower realized prices for base metals and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense. Gross profit decreased in the first half of 2016 primarily due to lower sales volume and lower realized metal prices as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was offset by significantly lower production cost due to the factors discussed above.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 due to a decrease in stock based compensation expense and cost reduction measures, partially offset by increased IT support costs due to the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system.

Table of Contents

Exploration expenses decreased $2.3 million and $3.5 million respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 due to reduced exploration spending as a result of cost cutting measures. We continued exploration activities at both our Oaxaca and Nevada Mining Units in second quarter and first half of 2016, although at a reduced rate from the same periods in 2015 due to cost reduction efforts.

 

Other income (expense), net increased $1.1 million and $2.3 million respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 due to foreign currency gains, an increase in the value of gold and silver rounds/bullion and an increase in the market value of equity investments in the 2016 periods.

 

Provision for income taxes increased $4.5 million and $1.1 million respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. Please see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The increase in taxes is commensurate with our increase in income period over period.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Throughout this report we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced some non-GAAP performance measures which we believe will assist with understanding the performance of the business. These measures are based on precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold and include cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-product credits per ounce, total all-in sustaining cost per ounce (“AISC”) and all-in cost per ounce (“AIC”). Because the non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

 

Total cash cost, after by-product credits, is a measure developed by the Gold Institute in an effort to provide a uniform standard for comparison purposes. The guidance was first issued in 1996 and revised in November 1999. AISC and AIC are calculated based on guidance from the World Gold Council issued in June 2013.

 

Total cash cost before by-product credits includes all direct and indirect operating cash costs related to our production of metals (including mining, milling and other plant facility costs, smelter treatment and refining charges, royalties, and site general and administrative costs) less stock based compensation allocated to production costs plus treatment and refining costs.

 

Total cash cost after by-product credits includes total cash cost before by-product credits less by-product credits, or revenues earned from base metals.

 

AISC includes total cash cost after by-product credits plus other costs related to sustaining production, including sustaining capital expenditures, exploration and general and administrative costs. We determined sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. General and administrative costs are derived from the amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, less administrative depreciation cost.

 

AIC includes all-in sustaining cost plus non-sustaining capital expenditures and exploration expense. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are classified as non-sustaining. Exploration expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance future production are classified as non-sustaining and are derived from the exploration expense amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-product credits per ounce, AISC and AIC are calculated by dividing the relevant costs, as determined using the cost elements noted above, by precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity and capital position improved during the first half of 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we had working capital of $24.6 million, consisting of current assets of $34.3 million and current liabilities of $9.7 million. This represents an increase of $6.9 million from the working capital balance of $17.7 million at December 31, 2015. Our working capital balance fluctuates as we use cash to fund our operations, financing and investing activities, including exploration, mine development, income taxes and shareholder dividends.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $0.4 million during the first half of 2016.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2.1 million for the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a decrease in exploration spending and the new diesel tax credit.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2.0 million for the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a reduction in capital expenditures for mine development at our Aguila Project. Our planned development drilling expenditures are discretionary and could be significantly more or less depending on variables including available capital, the ongoing results from our drilling programs and market conditions. Development drilling to further delineate and define our Arista deposit are considered mine development.

 

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $2.9 million for the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the reduced dividends. For the first half of 2016 and 2015 we paid dividends of $0.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

 

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities for the foreseeable future.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

There have been no changes in our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2015.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others: 

 

·

statements about our future exploration drilling and plans for development of our properties;

·

statements concerning the benefits that we expect will result from our business activities and certain transactions that we contemplate or have completed, such as receipt of proceeds, decreased expenses and avoided expenses and expenditures; and

·

statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, our targets, exploration activities, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.

 

These statements may be made expressly in this document or may be incorporated by reference from other documents that we will file with the SEC. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “targets,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions used in this report or incorporated by reference in this report.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements. Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, which may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions.

 

Risk Factors Impacting Forward-Looking Statements

 

The important factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, but are not limited to, those set forth in other reports we have filed with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the following:

 

·

Changes in the worldwide price for gold and/or silver;

·

Volatility in the equities markets; Disappointing results from our exploration or production efforts;

·

Producing at rates lower than those targeted;

·

We undertake no responsibility or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, but may do so in the future in written or oral statements. Investors should take note of any future statements made by or on our behalf.  

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, provisional sales contract risks, changes in interest rates, equity price risks and country risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk; however, we may consider such arrangements in the future as we evaluate our business and financial strategy.

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

The results of our operations depend in large part upon the market prices of gold and silver, and to a lesser extent on base metal prices of copper, lead and zinc. Gold and silver prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, the stability of exchange rates, the world supply of and demand for gold, silver and other metals, among other factors, can all cause significant fluctuations in commodity prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. The price of gold and silver has fluctuated widely in recent years, and future price declines could cause a mineral project to become uneconomic, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We have not entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for gold or silver. We may in the future more actively manage our exposure through derivative contracts or other commodity price risk management programs, although we have no intention of doing so in the near-term.

 

In addition to adversely affecting our reserve estimates, results of operations and/or our financial condition, declining gold and silver prices could require a reassessment of the feasibility of a project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause delays in the implementation of a project.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase or decrease our costs to the extent we pay costs in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by Mexican peso rate changes relative to the U.S. dollar. These fluctuations do not impact our revenues since we sell our metals in U.S. dollars. Future fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect our financial results.

 

21


 

Table of Contents

We have not utilized market-risk sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates but may in the future actively manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

 

 

Provisional Sales Contract Risk

 

We enter into concentrate sales contracts with a third-party smelter. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates determined at the average forward prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is the final settlement based on a future price, does not qualify for hedge accounting and is marked-to-market through operations each period prior to final settlement. Please see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our previous outstanding debt consisted of leased equipment classified as capital leases that were paid off during the quarter. Accordingly, we consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time.

 

 Equity Price Risk 

 

We have in the past sought and may in the future seek to acquire additional funding by sale of common stock and other equity. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell our common stock at an acceptable price should the need for new equity funding arise.

 

Country Risk

 

Most of our mineral properties are located in Mexico. In the past, that country has been subject to political instability, increasing crime, legislative initiatives and changes and uncertainties which may cause changes to existing government regulations affecting mineral exploration and mining activities including taxes. Civil or political unrest or criminal activities could disrupt our operations at any time. Our exploration and mining activities may be adversely affected in varying degrees by changing government regulations relating to the mining industry or shifts in political conditions that could increase the costs related to our activities or maintaining our properties. Additionally, Mexico’s status as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain required financing for our properties.

 

 

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

 

During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Effective January 1, 2016, we transitioned to a new Enterprise Resource Planning system. We have taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting as it pertains to the general information technology control environment.

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first half of 2016 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
