EMX ROYALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Expressed in Thousands of Canadian Dollars, Except where indicated)
For the Six Months Ended  June 30, 2020

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

EMX Royalty Corporation (the "Company" or "EMX"), together with its subsidiaries operates as a royalty and prospect generator engaged in the exploring for, and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties. The Company's royalty and exploration portfolio mainly consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia, and New Zealand.  The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and the NYSE American under the symbol of "EMX". The Company's head office is located at 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8. 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve months. 

Some of the Company's activities for royalty generation are located in emerging nations and, consequently, may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries.  Operations, the status of mineral property rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory and political situations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries except as to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. ("BULM"), the holder of a royalty income stream whose functional currency is the United States ("US") dollar.

Turkey

Alanköy and Trab-23 Projects

In February 2020, the Company executed purchase and sale agreements for the sale of EMX subsidiaries that own the Alanköy and Trab-23 exploration projects in Turkey to Kar Mineral Madencilik İnşaat Turizm Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. ("Kar"), a privately owned Turkish Company. Upon closing, EMX received the cash equivalent of 40 ounces of gold for the Alanköy project (US$63 received) and the cash equivalent of 30 ounces of gold for the Trab-23 project (US$47 received).

Balya Project

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed the transfer of the Balya royalty property in Turkey from Dedeman Madencilik San. ve Tic. A. Ş. to Esan Eczacibaşi Endüstriyel Hammaddeler San. ve Tic. A.Ş. ("Esan") a private Turkish company. The Company retains a 4% NSR royalty on the property that is uncapped and is not subject to a buy back agreement.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company's policy for accounting for impairment of non-current assets is to use the higher of the estimates of fair value less cost of disposal of these assets or value in use. The Company uses valuation techniques that require significant judgments and assumptions, including those with respect to future production levels, future metal prices and discount rates.

Non-current assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company continuously reviews the production of gold from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim  Block, expected long term gold prices to be realized, foreign exchange, and interest rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, these assumptions remained reasonable and no revisions were considered necessary.

15. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company considers items included in shareholders' equity as capital.  The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $68,520 (December 31, 2019 - $75,178).  The Company has continuing royalty income that will vary depending on royalty ounces received, the price of gold, and foreign exchange rates on US royalty payments.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments 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 public and/or private placements, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders. 

Fair Value

The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
  • Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value.

As at June 30, 2020, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2019. Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Assets   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Investments $ 6,765   $ 1,371   $ 259   $ 8,395  
Warrants   -     1,181     -     1,181  
Strategic Investments   33     9,603     -     9,636  
Total $ 6,798   $ 12,155   $ 259   $ 19,212  

The carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from joint venture partners, and loans receivable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company holds warrants exercisable into common shares of public companies. The warrants do not trade on an exchange and are restricted in their transfer. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using observable market information and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Included in Strategic Investments is $9,603 related to the Company's 19.9% interest in Rawhide Acquistion Holding, LLC ("Rawhide") and the Company's 7.5% equity interest in Ensero (Note 4). The Company's investments in Rawhide and Ensero do not have quoted market prices in an active market and the Company has assessed a fair value of the investment based on concurrent third party investments at the time of acquisition.

The Company's holds an investment in IG Copper LLC ("IGC"), a private entity which does not have a quoted market price in an active market and the Company has assessed a fair value of the investment based on IGC's unobservable net assets. As a result, the fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The process of estimating the fair value of IGC is based on inherent measurement uncertainties and is based on techniques and assumptions that emphasize both qualitative and quantitative information.  There is no reasonable quantitative basis to estimate the potential effect of changing the assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions on the estimated fair value of the investment.

15. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents and receivables.  This risk is minimized by holding a significant portion of the funds in Canadian banks. The Company's exposure with respect to its receivables is primarily related to royalty streams, recovery of project and royalty generation costs, and the sale of assets.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates.  Management believes the interest rate risk is low given interest rates on promissory notes is fixed and the current low global interest rate environment.  Fluctuation

in market rates is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations due to the short term to maturity and no penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents.

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and other company investments.  The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments.  Based on the June 30, 2020 portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective market values would increase or decrease net shareholders' equity by approximately $1,900.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due.  The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company's expenditures will not exceed available resources.

Commodity Risk

The Company's royalty revenues are derived from a royalty interest and are based on the extraction and sale of precious and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals discovered. Metal prices have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company's royalty interests cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.  The Company operates in Canada, Turkey, Sweden, Australia, Norway, Finland, Chile, and the U.S.A.  The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in US dollars and a portion of its expenditures are also incurred in local currencies.

15. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The exposure of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint venture partners to foreign exchange risk as at June 30, 2020 is as follows:

Accounts   US dollars  
       
Cash and cash equivalents $ 39,399  
Restricted cash   2,741  
Trade receivables   311  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (682 )
Advances from joint venture partners   (3,126 )
Net exposure $ 38,643  
Canadian dollar equivalent $ 52,715  

The balances noted above reflect the US dollar balances held within the parent company and any wholly owned subsidiaries.  Balances denominated in another currency other than the functional currency held in foreign operations are considered immaterial.  Based on the above net exposure as at June 30, 2020, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $5,271 in the Company's pre-tax profit or loss.million in the Company's pre-tax profit or loss.

16. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS

    June 30, 2020     December 31, 2019

Short-term deposits   1,969     187  
             
Total $ 58,390   $ 69,181  

The short-term deposits are used as collateral for the Company's credit cards and to earn interest. Short term deposits are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
