Consolidated Financial Statements

Prepared by Management

 

Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014


MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Endeavour Silver Corp. (“the Company”) have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and within the framework of the significant accounting policies disclosed in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.

Management, under the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have a process in place to evaluate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as required by Canadian and United States securities regulations. We, as CEO and CFO, will certify our annual filings with Canadian Securities Administrators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as required in Canada by Multilateral Instrument 52-109 and in the United States as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, respectively.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out its responsibility principally through its Audit Committee, which is independent from management.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets with management to review the consolidated financial statements and related financial reporting matters prior to submitting the consolidated financial statements to the Board of Directors for approval. The Audit Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis; considers the report of the external auditor; assesses the adequacy of internal controls, including management’s assessment; examines the fees and expenses for audit services; and recommends to the Board the independent auditors for appointment by the shareholders. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with it to discuss the audit work, financial reporting matters and our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and all of its members are independent directors.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of Endeavour Silver Corp.

We have audited Endeavour Silver Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Endeavour Silver Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying report titled “Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

   

Endeavour Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “Endeavour Silver”) is a corporation governed by the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia). The Company is engaged in silver mining in Mexico and related activities including acquisition, exploration, development, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation. The Company is also engaged in exploration activities in Chile. The address of the registered office is #301 – 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 1G8.

 

 

2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and using accounting policies in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company’s reporting period for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

 

The Board of Directors approved the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for issue on March 2, 2016.

 

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency of US dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Endeavour Management Corp., Endeavour Zilver SARL, Endeavour Gold Corporation S.A. de C.V., Mineros Paola, S.A. de C.V. SOFOM ENR (formerly Endeavour Capital S.A. de C. V. SOFOM ENR), Minera Santa Cruz Y Garibaldi S.A de C.V., Metalurgica Guanacevi S.A. de C.V., Minera Plata Adelante S.A. de C.V., Refinadora Plata Guanacevi S.A. de C. V., Minas Bolañitos S. A. de C.V., Guanacevi Mining Services S.A. de C.V., Recursos Humanos Guanacevi S.A. de C.V., Recursos Villalpando S.A. de C.V., Servicios Administrativos Varal S.A. de C.V., Minera Plata Carina SPA, MXRT Holding Ltd., Compania Minera del Cubo S.A. de C. V., Minas Lupycal S.A. de C.V. and Metales Interamericanos S.A. de C.V.. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation of these subsidiaries.

 

 

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

The accounting policies below have been applied consistently to all years presented and by all subsidiaries in the group.


  (a)

Currency Translation

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the US dollar. Transactions in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at each reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Foreign currency translation differences are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences on the retranslation of non-monetary available-for-sale financial instruments which are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

     
  (b)

Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

     
 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant areas requiring the use of management judgment relate to the determination of mineralized reserves, plant and equipment useful lives, estimating the fair values of financial instruments and derivatives, impairment of non-current assets, reclamation and rehabilitation provisions, recognition of deferred tax assets, and assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash share-based compensation.

ENDEAVOUR SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Information about the use of management estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

  Note 10 Impairment of Non-Current Assets
  Note 13 Provision for Reclamation and Rehabilitation
  Note 14 Share Capital
  Note 15 Derivative Liabilities
  Note 21 Income Taxes

  (c)

Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives and contingent liabilities, are measured at fair value on initial recognition and recorded on the statement of financial position. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, held for trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity or loans and receivables or as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost.

     
 

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded on the statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in net earnings.

     
 

Realized gains and losses on short term metal derivative transactions are presented as investment and other income.

     
  (d)

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, finance leases and income taxes payable approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value due to the existence of floating market-based interest rates. Investments, consisting of money market investments, marketable securities and notes are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses at the reporting date recognized in comprehensive income unless unrealized losses are indicative of impairments in value, in which case they are recognized in net earnings.

     
  (e)

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits in banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of the purchase of no more than ninety days, or that are readily convertible into cash. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables.

     
  (f)

Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities include investments in shares of companies and other investments capable of reasonably prompt liquidation. Share investments are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income until the securities are disposed of or when there is evidence of impairment in value. Impairment is evident when there has been a significant or sustained decline in the fair value of the marketable securities. When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified from equity to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment.

     
  (g)

Inventories

 

Production inventories are valued at the lower of production cost and net realizable value. Work-in-process inventories, including ore stockpiles, are valued at the lower of production cost and net realizable value, after an allowance for further processing costs. Finished goods inventory, characterized as dore bars or concentrate, is valued at the lower of production cost and net realizable value. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Similar inventories within the consolidated group are measured using the same method, and the reversal of previous write-downs to net realizable value is required when there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventories.

     
  (h)

Mineral properties, plant and equipment

 

Mineral properties, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of mineral properties, plant or equipment items consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Mineral properties include direct costs of acquiring properties (including option payments) and costs incurred directly in the development of properties once the technical feasibility and commercial viability has been established.

Exploration and evaluation costs are those costs required to find a mineral property and determine commercial feasibility. These costs include costs to establish an initial mineral resource and determine whether inferred mineral resources can be upgraded to measured and indicated mineral resources and whether measured and indicated mineral resources can be converted to proven and probable reserves. Project costs related to exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred until such time as the Company has defined mineral reserves. Thereafter, costs for the project are capitalized prospectively in mineral properties, plant and equipment. The Company also recognizes exploration and evaluation costs as assets when acquired as part of a business combination, or asset purchase, with these assets recognized at cost.

     
 

Capitalized exploration and evaluation costs for a project are classified as such until the project demonstrates technical feasibility and commercial viability. Upon demonstrating technical feasibility and commercial viability, and subject to an impairment analysis, capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are transferred to mineral property costs within mineral properties, plant and equipment. Technical feasibility and commercial viability generally coincide with the establishment of proven and probable reserves; however, this determination may be impacted by management’s assessment of certain modifying factors.

     
 

Where an item of plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment and amortized separately over their useful lives.

     
 

Plant and equipment is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method at rates varying from 5% to 30% annually. The accumulated costs of mineral properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production are amortized using the units of production method, based on proven and probable reserves (as defined by National Instrument 43-101).

     
 

The Company conducts an annual assessment of the residual balances, useful lives and depreciation methods being used for mineral properties, plant and equipment and any changes arising from the assessment are applied by the Company prospectively.

     
  (i)

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

 

The Company’s tangible assets are reviewed for indications of impairment at each financial statement date. If an indicator of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period.

     
 

The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

     
 

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

     
 

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its exploration and evaluation assets with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of reserves, forecast future metal prices, forecast future costs of exploring, developing and operating a producing mine, expiration term and ongoing expense of maintaining leased mineral properties and the general likelihood that the Company will continue exploration. The Company does not set a pre- determined holding period for properties with unproven reserves. However, properties which have not demonstrated suitable mineral concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted and their carrying values are recoverable.

     
 

If any area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the period of abandonment or determination that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. The amounts recorded as mineral properties represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

  (j)

Provision for Reclamation and Rehabilitation

 

The Company recognizes provisions for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the decommissioning and reclamation of mineral property, plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. A liability is recognized at the time environmental disturbance occurs and the resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The provision for reclamation and rehabilitation obligations is estimated using expected cash flows based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third-party industry specialists and is discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is amortized on the same basis as the related asset.

     
 

In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for any changes in the amount or timing of the estimated future cash costs, changes in the discount or inflation rates and for the accretion of discounted underlying future cash flows. The unwinding of the effect of discounting the provision is recorded as a finance cost in profit or loss for the period.

     
  (k)

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of bullion and concentrates upon delivery when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer, and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue from the sale of concentrates is based on prevailing market prices and estimated mineral content which is subject to adjustment upon final settlement based on metal prices, weights and assays. For each reporting period until final settlement, estimates of metal prices are used to record sales. Variations between the sales price recorded at the initial recognition date and the actual final sales price at the settlement date, caused by changes in market metal prices, results in an embedded derivative in the related trade accounts receivable balance. The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as a component of revenue. Revenue is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, gross of treatment and refining costs paid to counterparties under the terms of the sales agreements.

     
  (l)

Share-based payments

 

The Company has a share option plan which is described in Note 14(c). The Company records all share-based compensation for options using the fair value method with graded vesting. Under the fair value method, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable, and are charged over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options for which the related service and vesting conditions are met. The offset is credited to contributed surplus. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. For those options that expire or are forfeited after vesting, the amount previously recorded in contributed surplus is transferred to deficit.

     
 

Share-based payment expense relating to cash-settled awards, including deferred share units, is accrued over the vesting period of the units based on the quoted market value of the Company’s common shares. As these awards will be settled in cash, the expense and liability are adjusted each reporting period for changes in the underlying share price.

     
  (m)

Income taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted or enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent their recovery is considered probable based on their term to expiry and estimates of future taxable income.

     
  (n)

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, loss available to common shareholders equals the reported loss. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the year.

  (o)

Business combinations

On a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting is used, whereby the purchase consideration is allocated to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities (identifiable net assets) on the basis of fair value at the date of acquisition. When the cost of acquisition exceeds the fair values attributable to the Company’s share of identifiable net assets, the difference is treated as purchased goodwill. If the fair value attributable to the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of acquisition, the difference is immediately recognized in the income statement. Incremental costs related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred.

     

Determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill, if any, requires that management make estimates based on the information provided by the acquiree. Changes to the provisional values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, deferred income taxes and resulting goodwill, if any, will be adjusted when the final measurements are determined (within one year of the acquisition date).

     

When purchase consideration is contingent on future events, the initial cost of the acquisition recorded includes an estimate of the fair value of the contingent amounts expected to be payable in the future. When the fair value of contingent consideration as at the date of acquisition is finalized and before the end of the twelve month measurement period, the adjustment is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Changes to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

     
  (p)

Accounting standards adopted during the year

     

IAS 17, Leases

Assets held by the Company under leases that transfer to the Company substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are recognized in the statement of financial position and measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset (e.g. property, plant and equipment). Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance cost is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

     

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the profit or loss as incurred over the term of the lease.

     
  (q)

Changes in IFRS not yet adopted

     

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)

In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 as the first step in its project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. On July 24, 2014 the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on an entity’s business model and the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

     

Classification is made at the time the financial asset is initially recognized, namely when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

     

IFRS 9 amends some of the requirements of IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, including added disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value in other comprehensive income, and guidance on the measurement of financial liabilities and de-recognition of financial instruments. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted, and must be applied retrospectively with some exemptions permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements.

     

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)

On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. IFRS 15 will replace IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 Revenue Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

ENDEAVOUR SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have also been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized.

The Company intends to adopt IFRS 15 in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined.

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)
On December 18, 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 as part of its major initiative to improve presentation and disclosure in financial reports. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt these amendments in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
On January 13, 2016 the International Accounting Standards Board published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases, eliminating the current dual accounting model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-balance sheet finance leases and off-balance sheet operating leases. Under the new standard, a lease becomes an on-balance sheet liability that attracts interest, together with a new right-of-use asset. In addition, lessees will recognize a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when cash rentals are constant. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has not yet completed an assessment of the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

  Unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss)   (25 )   (729 )
  Write down of marketable securities   (4,785 )   -  
    $  614   $  786  

Marketable securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 22) and as available-for-sale financial assets. The fair values of available-for-sale investments are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the reporting date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, being the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the assets. Changes in fair value on available-for sale marketable securities are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss, unless there is objective evidence of impairment. As at September 30, 2015, the Company reviewed the value of its investments for objective evidence of impairment based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a write down through the income statement of $4.8 million (2014 - $nil) on its marketable securities, which was reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss).

  (1)

The trade receivables consist of receivables from provisional silver and gold sales from the Bolañitos and El Cubo mines. The fair value of receivables arising from concentrate sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms is determined using the appropriate quoted closing price on the measurement date from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, these receivables, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (see note 22).

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   

The Company shares common administrative services and office space with a company related by virtue of a common director and from time to time will incur third party costs on behalf of the related parties on a full cost recovery basis. The charges for these costs totaled $43 for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2014 - $89). The Company has a $111 net receivable related to these costs as of December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – $180).

   

The Company was charged $151 for legal services for the year ended December 31, 2015 by a legal firm in which the Company’s corporate secretary is a partner (December 31, 2014 - $150). The Company has $12 payable to the legal firm as at December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $3).

   

Key management personnel

The key management of the Company comprises executive and non-executive directors, members of executive management and the Company’s corporate secretary. Compensation of key management personnel was as follows:


      Dec 31, 2015     Dec 31, 2014  
               
  Salaries and short-term employee benefits $  2,472   $  2,868  
  Non-executive directors' fees   97     215  
  Share-based payments   2,776     3,167  
    $  5,345   $  6,250  

The amount disclosed for share-based payments is the expense for the year calculated in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based payments. The fair value of a share-based payment award is recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the award. Therefore, the compensation expense in the current year comprises a portion of current year awards and those of preceding years that vested within the current year.

The share-based payments include the change in fair value of non-executive directors’ cash settled deferred share units over each reporting period and payments of deferred share units. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted 245,438 cash settled deferred share units with a market value of $487 at the date of grant (December 31, 2014 –82,689 cash settled deferred share units with a market value of $342). At December 31, 2015, there were 413,618 cash settled deferred share units outstanding with a market value of $590 (December 31, 2014 – 168,180 outstanding with a market value of $367), with the change in fair value recognized in the net earnings (loss).

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS

   

The recoverable amounts of the Company’s CGUs, which include mining properties, plant and equipment are determined on an annual basis, if impairment indicators are identified. At December 31, 2015, the continued commodity price decline led the Company to determine that there were impairment indicators and to re-assess the recoverable amounts of its CGUs. The recoverable amounts are based on each CGUs future cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mining properties and represent each CGU’s value in use. The cash flows are determined based on the life-of-mine after tax cash flow forecast which incorporates management’s best estimates of future metal prices, production based on current estimates of recoverable reserves and resources, exploration potential, future operating costs and non-expansionary capital expenditures.

   

At December 31, 2015, the Company tested the recoverability of its operating assets, resulting in a detailed review of the Company’s three operating mines. The Company estimated future operating and capital costs, factored in analysts’ consensus pricing for the first three years of its economic model (Silver: 2016 - $15.00/oz, 2017 - $16.78/oz, 2018 - $17.11/oz; Gold: 2016 - $1,125/oz, 2017 - $1,174/oz, 2018 - $1,192/oz) and used a long term silver price of $17.33 per ounce and a long term gold price of $1,201 per ounce and a risk adjusted project specific discount rate of 9.0%-9.5% based on the CGUs weighted average cost of capital. Due to the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts to the various factors mentioned and specifically long term metal prices as well as unforeseen factors, any significant change in the key assumptions and inputs could result in additional impairment charges in future periods.

   

At December 31, 2015 the carrying value related to the El Cubo CGU was $113,397, including an associated deferred income tax asset of $5,120 which was greater than its estimated recoverable amount of $4,200, calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. The Company considers use of its internal discounted cash flow economic models as a proxy for the calculation of fair value in use. Based on the above assessment at December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the El Cubo CGU of $104,300, plus valuation of the tax asset of $4,897 for a total impairment charge of $109,197 after tax.

   

At December 31, 2015 the net carrying value related to the Bolañitos CGU was $31,992, including an associated deferred income tax liability of $5,874 which was greater than its estimated recoverable amount of $6,900, calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. The Company considers use of its internal discounted cash flow economic models as a proxy for the calculation of fair value in use. Based on the above assessment at December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the Bolañitos CGU of $29,700, and an associated recovery of the deferred tax liability of $4,607 for a net after tax impact of 25,093.

   

In 2015, The Company reviewed the Guancevi CGU for value in use, which resulted in no significant change after the impairment charge in 2013. The Guanacevi carrying value was adjusted to value in use in 2013; any modest decrease in one key assumption in isolation causes the estimated recoverable amount to be less than or equal to the net carrying value of $26,500.

   

At December 31, 2014 a sustained decline in precious metal prices led the Company to re-assess the recoverable amounts of its CGUs.

   

At December 31, 2014, the Company tested the recoverability of its operating assets, resulting in a detailed review of the Company’s three operating mines. The Company estimated future operating and capital costs, factored in analysts’ consensus pricing for the first three years of its economic model (Silver: 2015 - $18.31/oz, 2016 - $18.72/oz, 2017 - $19.51/oz; Gold: 2015 - $1,253/oz, 2016 - $1,270/oz, 2017 - $1,271/oz) and then used a long term silver price of $19.59 per ounce and a long term gold price of $1,270 per ounce and a risk adjusted project specific discount rate of 9.0%-9.5% based on the CGUs weighted average cost of capital. Due to the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts to the various factors mentioned and specifically long term metal prices as well as unforeseen factors, any significant change in the key assumptions and inputs could result in additional impairment charges in future periods.

   

At December 31, 2014 the carrying value related to the El Cubo CGU was $191,565 and net of associated deferred income tax liabilities of $52,836 was greater than its estimated recoverable amount of $89,000, calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. The Company considers use of its internal discounted cash flow economic models as a proxy for the calculation of fair value in use. Based on the above assessment at December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the El Cubo CGU of $55,858, net of tax ($83,000 before tax).

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

   

On July 24, 2012, the Company entered into a $75 million revolving credit facility (“the Facility”), reducing over three years, with Scotia Capital. The purpose of the Facility is for general corporate purposes and is principally secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its material operating subsidiaries, including Refinadora Plata Guanacevi SA de CV, Minas Bolañitos SA de CV and Compania Minera del Cubo SA de CV. The interest rate margin on the Facility ranges from 2.75% to 4.25% over LIBOR based on the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio, where EBITDA is adjusted for gains or losses on derivative liabilities and extraordinary items. The Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of between 0.69% and 1.05% on undrawn amounts under the facility based on the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio. The Facility is subject to various qualitative and quantitative covenants, including a debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, an interest service coverage ratio and a tangible net worth calculation. On July 24, 2013, as part of the Facility agreement, the capacity of the Facility was reduced to $50 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company extended the Facility until July 24, 2016, with a requirement to reduce the credit limit from $50 million to $25 million by July 24, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $22,000 outstanding on the Facility and recognized $872 of interest expense during the year in financing costs (December 31, 2014 - $1,343).

   

The Company has deferred commitment fees and legal costs of $937 which are being recognized over the life of the Facility. For the year ended December 31, 2015, $221 of the deferred commitment fees and legal costs were amortized (December 31, 2014 - $221).


    Facility Financial Dec. 31, Dec. 31,
  Facility Financial Covenants Requirements 2015 2014
  Leverage Ratio < 3.00:1 0.53 0.64
  Interest Service Coverage Ratio > 4.00:1 42 40
  Tangible Net Worth > 45,900 51,020 197,031

In March 2015, the Facility was amended requiring the Tangible Net Worth of the Company (as defined in the Facility) to be greater than 85% of “Equity” (as defined by the Facility) as at December 31, 2014, plus 50% of subsequent quarterly earnings.

   

Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into an amended and restated Facility with Scotia Capital, including an amended Tangible Net Worth covenant requiring the tangible net worth to be greater than 45,900, subject to final satisfaction of conditions precedent, to convert the remaining outstanding balance under the Facility into a two year term loan amortized quarterly and expiring December 31, 2017. The Company repaid $3 million on signing the amended and restated Facility agreement and will pay $2.5 million each quarter.

   
12.

FINANCE LEASE OBLIGATION

   

The Company has certain mining equipment under financial leases expiring in 2016. The leases carry a weighted average annual interest rate of 11.45%. Estimated lease payments are as follows:


      December 31     December 31  
      2015     2014  
               
  2016 $  1,238   $  -  
  Minimum lease payments   1,238     -  
               
  Less: interest portion   58     -  
  Net minimum lease payments $  1,180   $  -  

The equipment under finance leases has been recognized in property and equipment at the present value of minimum lease payments. Interest charges on lease equipment during the year were approximately $56 (2014 - $Nil). Other than interest, no costs were incurred relating to the leases. The lease is secured by the assets under lease. At year end, the net book value of the equipment pledged as security for the finance leases is $1,544 (2014 - $Nil).

PROVISON FOR RECLAMATION AND REHABILITATION

   

The Company’s environmental permit requires that it reclaim certain land it disturbs during mining operations. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, decommissioning of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and other costs. Although the ultimate amount of the reclamation and rehabilitation costs to be incurred cannot be predicted with certainty, the total undiscounted amount of probability weighted estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s estimated obligations is $2,148 for the Guanacevi mine operations, $1,775 for the Bolañitos mine operations and $4,076 for the El Cubo mine operations.

   

The timing of cash flows has been estimated based on the mine lives using current reserves and the present value of the probability weighted future cash flows assumes a risk free rate specific to the liability of 1.3% for Guanacevi and 1.0% for Bolañitos and El Cubo and an inflation rate of 2.0% for all three operations.

   

Changes to the reclamation and rehabilitation provision balance during the year are as follows:


      Guanacevi     Bolañitos     El Cubo     Total  
  Balance at December 31, 2013 $  1,846   $  1,040   $  3,766   $  6,652

SHARE CAPITAL


  (a)

Management of Capital

     
 

The Company considers the items included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placements, convertible debentures, asset acquisitions or return capital to shareholders. As at December 31, 2015, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

     
  (b)

Public Offerings

     
 

In July 2014, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf”) that qualifies for the distribution of up to CDN$ 200 million of common shares, warrants or units of the Company comprising any combination of common shares and warrants (“Securities”). The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices to be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement, including transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions. The Base Shelf allowed the Company to enter into an “At-The-Market” Facility (“ATM”) equity distribution agreement.

     
 

On November 25, 2015, the Company entered into an ATM equity facility with Cowen and Company, LLC, acting as sole agent. Under the terms of this ATM facility, the Company may, from time to time, sell common stock having an aggregate offering value of up to US$16.5 million on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company determines, at its sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under the ATM facility. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had 799,569 common shares issued or issuable under the ATM facility at an average price of $1.43 per share for net proceeds of $1,111.

     
 

Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Company issued an additional 3,616,043 shares under the ATM facility at an average price of $1.57 per share for net proceeds of $5,498.

Purchase Options

     
 

Options to purchase common shares have been granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to the Company’s current stock option plan approved by the Company’s shareholders in fiscal 2009 and ratified in 2015, at exercise prices determined by reference to the market value on the date of grant. The stock option plan allows for, with approval by the Board, granting of options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire up to 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares at any time.

     
 

The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s stock option plan and changes during the year:

  6,322,050 3.4 $3.80   4,488,550 $4.10

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized share based compensation expense of $2,885 (December 31, 2014 - $3,600) based on the fair value of the vested portion of options granted in the current and prior years.

The weighted average fair values of stock options granted and the assumptions used to calculate compensation expense have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

    Year Ended   Year Ended
    December 31, 2015   December 31, 2014
  Weighted average fair value of options
     granted during the year
$1.04 $1.93
  Risk-free interest rate 0.89%   1.31%
  Expected dividend yield 0%   0%
  Expected stock price volatility 63%   59%
  Expected option life in years 3.86   3.84

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The expected life of the options considered such factors as the average length of time similar option grants in the past have remained outstanding prior to exercise, expiry or cancellation and the vesting period of options granted. Volatility was estimated based on average daily volatility based on historical share price observations over the expected term of the option grant. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair value of the options. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options on a graded basis over the respective vesting period of each tranche of stock options awarded. As at December 31, 2015, the unvested share option expense not yet recognized was $870 (December 31, 2014 - $1,205) which is expected to be recognized over the next 17 months.

Share Appreciation Rights Plan

     
 

The Company’s share appreciation rights plan allows a participant the right (the “Right”), when entitled to exercise an option, to terminate such option in whole or in part by notice in writing to the Company and in lieu of receiving common shares pursuant to the exercise of the option, and receive instead, at no cost to the participant, that number of common shares, disregarding fractions, which, when multiplied by the market price on the day immediately prior to the exercise of the Right have a total value equal to the product of that number of common shares subject to the option times the difference between the market price on the day immediately prior to the exercise of the Right and the option exercise price. During fiscal 2015, nil options (2014 – nil) were cancelled for the exchange of share appreciation rights.

     
  (e)

Performance Share Units Plan

     
 

The Company has a Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) plan whereby performance share units may be granted to employees of the Company. Once vested and performance conditions have been met, a PSU is redeemable into one common share entitling the holder to receive the common share for no additional consideration. The current maximum number of common shares authorized for issuance from treasury under the PSU plan is 1,000,000. No PSUs have been granted as of December 31, 2015.

     
  (f)

Warrants

     
 

The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s share purchase warrants and changes during the years presented:


Exercise   Oustanding at       Oustanding at
Price Expiry Dates December 31, 2013 Issued Exercised Expired December 31, 2014
CAN $            
$1.90 February 25, 2014 475,000 - (475,000) - -
$1.51 February 25, 2014 25,292 - (25,292) - -
$1.90 February 26, 2014 322,207 - (322,207) - -
$2.05 February 26, 2014 374,468 - (374,468) - -
    1,196,967 - (1,196,967) - -

The warrants with an expiry date of February 26, 2014, consisted of agent warrants issued for placing debentures and warrants issued on conversion of debentures, and were eligible to be exercised “cashless” in which event no payment of the exercise price was required and the holder received the number of shares based upon the intrinsic value of the warrants over the five day trading average share price of the Company prior to exercise. For the year ended December 31, 2014, 85,525 warrants were elected by the holders to be exercised “cashless” resulting in 44,463 shares being issued.

15.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

   

Warrants

   

Equity offerings were completed in previous periods whereby warrants were issued with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. As the warrants had an exercise price denominated in a currency which is different from the functional currency of the Company (US dollar), the warrants were treated as a financial liability. The Company’s share purchase warrants are classified and accounted for as a financial liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. The warrant derivative liability is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see note 22(a)). The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the Canadian dollar denominated warrants.


  Balance at December 31, 2013   1,491  
         
  Exercise of warrants   (2,925 )
  Mark to market loss (gain)   1,434  
  Balance at December 31, 2014 and 2015 $  -  

Black-Scholes pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Volatility was estimated using an average daily volatility based on historical share price observations over the expected term of the option grant.

INCOME TAXES


(a)

Tax Assessments

   

Minera Santa Cruz y Garibaldi SA de CV (“MSCG”), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN$238 million assessment on October 12, 2010 by Mexican fiscal authorities for failure to provide the appropriate support for certain expense deductions taken in MSCG’s 2006 tax return, failure to provide appropriate support for loans made to MSCG from affiliated companies, and deemed an unrecorded distribution of dividends to shareholders, among other individually immaterial items. MSCG immediately initiated a Nullity action and filed an administrative attachment to dispute the assessment.

   

In June 2015, the Superior Court ruled in favour of MSCG on a number of the matters under appeal; however, the Superior Court ruled against MSCG for failure to provide appropriate support for certain deductions taken in MSCG’s 2006 tax return. An assessment by the Tax Court was made, however the Tax Court did not follow the Superior Court directive as required by law. Therefore the Company filed another Nullity action for the Tax Court to follow the Superior Court directive during the year. The Company expects the Tax Court to make a final assessment based on the Superior Court directive in 2017. The Company estimates the impact of the Superior Court ruling will result in an additional tax expense of MXN 31.7 million (~USD $1.8 million) to MSCG for fiscal 2006 when the Tax Court rules on a final assessment. As of December 31, 2015, the Company estimates additional interest and penalties payable on overdue taxes by MSCG to be MXN 65.7 million (~USD $3.8million). If MSCG agrees to pay the tax assessment, or a lesser settled amount, it is eligible to apply for forgiveness of 100% of the penalties and 50% of the interest, with the latter amounting to MXN 22.6 million (~USD $1.3 million) on the MXN 31.7 million estimated tax assessment.

   

Included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are net assets of $240, including $42 in cash, of MSCG. Following the Tax Court’s rulings, MSCG will engage in discussions with the tax authorities with regards to the shortfall of assets within MSCG to settle its estimated tax liability. An alternative settlement option would be to transfer the shares and assets of MSCG to the tax authorities. As of September 30, 2015, the Company recognized an allowance for transferring the shares and assets of MSCG amounting to $240. The Company is currently assessing MSCG’s settlement options, however the Tax Court assessment must be received before any negotiation can be finalized or a decision is made.

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at December 31, 2015 are:

    Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
    $     $     $     $  
                         
Financial assets:                        
Investments   614     614     -     -  
Trade receivables   1,704     1,704     -     -  
Total financial assets   2,318     2,318     -     -  

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established by IFRS 13 are as follows:

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

Marketable securities are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the reporting date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security. As a result, these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure and Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management process. The types of risk exposure and the manner in which such exposures are managed is outlined as follows:

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its bank accounts, investments, and accounts receivable. Credit risk exposure on bank accounts and short term investments is limited through maintaining the Company’s balances with high-credit quality financial institutions, maintaining investment policies, assessing institutional exposure and continual discussion with external advisors. Value added tax (“IVA”) receivables are generated on the purchase of supplies and services to produce silver and gold, which are refundable from the Mexican government. Trade receivables are generated on the sale of concentrate inventory to reputable metal traders.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

Below is an aged analysis of the Company’s receivables:

      Carrying     Gross     Carrying     Gross  
      amount     impairment     amount     impairment  
      December 31, 2015     December 31, 2014  
                           
  Less than 1 month $  9,892   $  -   $  8,251   $  -  
  1 to 3 months   4,350     -     4,529     -  
  4 to 6 months   3,870     -     1,222     -  
  Over 6 months   6,231     1,778     5,713     1,778  
  Total accounts receivable $  24,343     1,778   $  19,715   $  1,778  

At December 31, 2015, 94% of the receivables that were outstanding greater than one month were comprised of IVA and tax receivables in Mexico (December 31, 2014 – 81%) and 4% of the receivables outstanding are pending finalizations of concentrate sales.

At December 31, 2015, an impairment loss of $1,597 relates to IVA receivable claims from prior years and $181 relates to an allowance on related party receivables from prior years (December 31, 2014 - $1,778).

Liquidity Risk

The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements. The Company’s policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest, while cash reserves are maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash equivalents, money market investments, marketable securities, receivables and available borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company believes that these sources, operating cash flows and its policies will be sufficient to cover the likely short term cash requirements and commitments.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to future minimum payments. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments at December 31, 2015:

      Less than     1 to 3     4 to 5     Over 5        
      1 year     years     years     years     Total

  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   18,949     -     -     -     18,949  
  Finance lease obligation   1,180                       1,180

Market Risk

Significant market related risks to which the Company is exposed consist of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk.

Foreign Currency Risk – The Company’s operations in Mexico and Canada make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations. Certain of the Company’s operating expenses are incurred in Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars, therefore the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar in relation to these currencies will consequently have an impact on the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.

The U.S. dollar equivalents of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar as at December 31 are as follows:

      December 31, 2015     December 31, 2014  
      Canadian Dollar     Mexican Peso     Canadian Dollar     Mexican Peso  
                           
  Financial assets $  1,777   $  18,446   $  2,029   $  16,036  
  Financial liabilities   (1,416 )   (14,368 )   (1,525 )   (17,267 )
  Net financial assets (liabilities) $ 361   $  4,078   $  504   $  (1,231 )

Of the financial assets listed above, $224 (2014 – $282) represents cash and cash equivalents held in Canadian dollars and $882 (2014 - $2,614) represents cash held in Mexican Pesos. The remaining cash balance is held in U.S. dollars.

As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 5% strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would decrease net earnings by $17 due to these financial assets and liabilities.

As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 5% strengthening of the US dollar against the Mexican peso would decrease net earnings by $194 due to these financial assets and liabilities.

Interest Rate Risk – In respect of financial assets, the Company’s policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity. Fluctuations in interest rates impact the value of cash equivalents. The Facility is subject to interest rate risk as amounts outstanding are subject to charges at a LIBOR-based rate (plus 2.75% to 4.25% depending on financial and operating measures) payable according to the quoted rate term. The interest rate charge for the year was 3.64%. As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 1% increase in the LIBOR rate would result in additional interest expense of $220.

Commodity Price Risk – Gold and silver prices have historically fluctuated significantly and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand due to speculative hedging activities and certain other factors. The Company has not engaged in any hedging activities, other than short term metal derivative transactions less than 90 days, to reduce its exposure to commodity price risk. Revenue from the sale of concentrates is based on prevailing market prices which is subject to adjustment upon final settlement. For each reporting period until final settlement, estimates of metal prices are used to record sales. At December 31, 2015 there are 629,226 ounces of silver and 9,274 ounces of gold which do not have a final settlement price and the estimated revenues have been recognized at current market prices. As at December 31, 2015, with other variables unchanged, a 10% decrease in the market value of silver and gold would result in a reduction of revenue of $1.9 million.
