Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

New Pacific Metals Corp. along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “New Pacific”) is a Canadian mining issuer engaged in exploring and developing mineral properties in Bolivia. The Company is in the stage of exploring and advancing the development of its mineral properties and has not yet determined if they contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The underlying value and the recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.

 

The Company is publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “NUAG” and on the NYSE American stock exchange (“NYSE-A”) under the symbol “NEWP”. The head office, registered address and records office of the Company are located at 1066 Hastings Street, Suite 1750, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.

 

2.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

 

(a)Statement of Compliance and Basis of Preparation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies, estimates and judgements set out in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, except as set out in Note 2(c) below.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were approved and authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) dated on May 6, 2024.

 

(b)Basis of Consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. For non-wholly-owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position. Net income or loss for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary.

(c)Changes in Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023 with the exception of the mandatory adoption of certain amendments noted below:

 

i.Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Making Materiality Judgments - Disclosure of Accounting Policies

 

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term “significant accounting policies” with “material accounting policy information.” Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

 

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material. The IASB has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.

 

The amendments were applied effective July 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

ii.Amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors—Definition of Accounting Estimates

 

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.” The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the IASB retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

 

§A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error; and

 

§The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors.

 

The amendments were applied effective July 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

3.OTHER TAX RECEIVABLE

 

Other tax receivable is composed of value-added tax (“VAT”) imposed by the Bolivian government. The Company had VAT outputs through its exploration costs and general expenses incurred in Bolivia. These VAT outputs are deductible against future VAT inputs that will be generated through sales.

 

4.INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS

10.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and equity price risk in accordance with its risk management framework. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

 

(a)Fair Value

 

The Company classifies its fair value measurements within a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements as defined in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”).

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 that are not otherwise disclosed. As required by IFRS 13, financial assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value of other financial instruments excluded from the table above approximates their carrying amount as of March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

 

(b)Liquidity Risk

 

The Company has a history of losses and no operating revenues from its operations. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its short term business requirements. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital position of $23,667,267 and sufficient cash resources to meet the Company’s short-term financial liabilities and its planned exploration and development expenditures on various projects in Bolivia for, but not limited to, the next 12 months.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities:

 

   March 31, 2024   June 30,
2023		 
   Due within
a year		   Total   Total 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $810,749   $810,749   $2,280,553 
Due to a related party   30,752    30,752    56,102 
   $841,501   $841,501   $2,336,655 

 

(c)Foreign Exchange Risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it undertakes transactions and holds assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than its functional currencies. The functional currency of the head office, Canadian subsidiaries and all intermediate holding companies is CAD. The functional currency of all Bolivian subsidiaries is USD. The functional currency of the Chinese subsidiary is RMB. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange currency hedging. The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk that could affect net income is summarized as follows:

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

Financial assets denominated in foreign currencies other than relevant functional currency  March 31,
2024		   June 30,
2023		 
United States dollars  $326,586   $320,994 
Bolivianos   1,001,596    869,869 
Total  $1,328,182   $1,190,863 
           
Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than relevant functional currency          
United States dollars  $69,773   $73,970 
Bolivianos   400,990    1,543,889 
Total  $470,763   $1,617,859 

 

As at March 31, 2024, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the USD against the CAD would have increased (decreased) net income by approximately $2,600.

 

As at March 31, 2024, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the Bolivianos against the USD would have increased (decreased) net income by approximately $6,000.

 

(d) Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company holds a portion of cash in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of March 31, 2024. The Company, from time to time, also owns cashable guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”) and bonds that earn interest payments at fixed rates to maturity. Fluctuation in market interest rates usually will have an impact on bond’s fair value. An increase in market interest rates will generally reduce bond’s fair value while a decrease in market interest rates will generally increase it. The Company monitors market interest rate fluctuations closely and adjusts the investment portfolio accordingly.

 

(e) Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is primarily associated with cash and cash equivalents, bonds, and receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets included on the statement of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Company has deposits of cash and cash equivalent that meet minimum requirements for quality and liquidity as stipulated by the Board. Management believes the risk of loss to be remote, as the majority of its cash and cash equivalent is held with major financial institutions.
