enCore Energy Corp.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023

(In USD unless otherwise noted)

 

 

1.Nature of operations and going concern

 

enCore Energy Corp. was incorporated under the Laws of British Columbia, Canada. enCore Energy Corp., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “enCore”), is principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium resource properties in the United States. In Q1 2024, the Company’s Rosita project transitioned to production. On February 19, 2024, the Company completed a sale of a 30% interest in the Company’s Alta Mesa project to Boss Energy Limited (“Boss Energy’). The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and directly on a U.S. Exchange under the symbol “EU.” The Company’s corporate headquarters is located at 101 N Shoreline, Suite 560, Corpus Christi, TX 78401.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

 

Geopolitical uncertainty

 

Geopolitical uncertainty driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led many governments and utility providers to re-examine supply chains and procurement strategies reliant on nuclear fuel supplies coming out of, or through, Russia. Sanctions, restrictions, and an inability to obtain insurance on cargo have contributed to transportation and other supply chain disruptions between producers and suppliers. As a result of this and coupled with multiple years of declining uranium production globally, uranium market fundamentals are shifting from an inventory driven market to one more driven by production.

 

2.Material accounting policy information

 

Basis of preparation

 

These financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as stated below, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. Those areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are discussed below.

 

These financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 10, 2024.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company supplies uranium concentrates to its customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control, as described below, over a good or service to a customer. Customers do not have the right to return products, except in limited circumstances. The Company’s sales arrangements with its customers are pursuant to enforceable contracts that indicate the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, including significant payment terms, where payment is usually due in 10 days. Each delivery is considered a separate performance obligation under the contract.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023

(In USD unless otherwise noted)

 

 

2.Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

Revenue recognition (continued)

 

In a uranium supply arrangement, the Company is contractually obligated to provide uranium concentrates to its customers. Company-owned uranium may be physically delivered to either the customer or to conversion facilities (Converters). For deliveries to customers, terms in the sales contract specify the location of delivery. Revenue is recognized when the uranium has been delivered and accepted by the customer at that location. When uranium is delivered to Converters, the Converter will credit the Company’s account for the volume of accepted uranium. Based on delivery terms in the sales contract with its customer, the Company instructs the Converter to transfer title of a contractually specified quantity of uranium to the customer’s account at the Converter’s facility. At this point, control has been transferred and enCore recognizes revenue for the uranium supply.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are uranium concentrates, and converted products including chemical and are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first in first out (FIFO) method. Cost includes direct materials, direct labor, operational overhead expenses and depreciation. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Consumable supplies and spares are valued at the lower of cost or replacement value.

 

Non-controlling interest

 

The Company applies the requirements of IFRS in accounting for non-controlling interests. A non-controlling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent company. The non-controlling interest represented in the financial statements includes the 30% interest Boss obtained in the Alta Mesa JV on February 26, 2024. The initial recognition of the interest was determined by calculating 30% of the total net assets, and the excess contribution was recorded under equity reserves. The subsequent recognition of the non-controlling interest is 30% of the net income of the Alta Mesa entity.

 

Basis of measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. All dollar amounts presented are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”) unless otherwise specified. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

 

Consolidation

 

These financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control is defined as the exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with an investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over the investee. Power over an investee exists when an investor has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. This control is generally evidenced through owning more than 50% of the voting rights or currently exercisable potential voting rights of a Company’s share capital. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

Consolidation (continued)

 

The Company has a 70% interest in a Joint Venture (JV) with BOSS Energy Limited (Boss). Under the JV agreement the Company retained control both before and after Boss acquired their interest. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the operations of the JV Co. with an offsetting non-controlling interest being recorded on sub-consolidation.

Alta Mesa joint venture

 

On December 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “MT Agreement”) with Boss Energy Limited (“Boss Energy”), a public company domiciled in Australia. Pursuant to the MT Agreement, Boss Energy was assigned the right to acquire a 30% interest in the Alta Mesa assets.

 

On February 26, 2024, pursuant to the terms of a MT Agreement, Boss Energy acquired a 30% equity interest in a new limited liability company (the “JV Company”) that was formed to hold the Alta Mesa project, in exchange for a payment of $60 million. The company holds 70% equity in the JV Company.

 

Upon closing of the Transaction, the parties entered into a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) which will govern the JV Company. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the company will act as manager of the JV Company and will be entitled to a management fee.

 

Concurrently with the establishment of the JV Company, the parties entered into a uranium loan agreement providing for up to 200,000 pounds of uranium to be lent by Boss Energy to the Company. The loan will bear interest of 9% and be repayable in 12 months in cash or uranium at the election of Boss Energy. After 6 months, the Company can elect to pay off the loan plus $200,000. At March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a deemed value of $20,108,000 for the borrowed uranium along with $174,012 of associated interest.

 

 

Boss Energy also acquired 2,564,102 common shares of the Company issued from treasury at a price of $3.90 per share for total proceeds to the Company of $10 million.

 

Finally, the parties also entered into a strategic collaboration agreement for the collaboration and research to develop the Company’s PFN technology, to be financed equally by each party.

 

The terms of the JV Agreement and the disposal of a 30% interest in the JV Co. support that control was retained both before and after Boss Energy acquired their interest, and that joint control is not present. As such, Company will continue to consolidate the operations of the JV Co. with an offsetting non-controlling interest being recorded.

 

The table below is a summary of the accounting for recognition of the initial Non-Controlling Interest on Boss Energy acquiring 30% interest in the JV Company.

12.Management of capital

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to support the exploration, evaluation, and development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. 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. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue debt, and acquire or dispose of assets.

 

The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its primary source of operating capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets, the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for investor support of its projects.

 

The Company considers the components of shareholders’ equity as capital.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

13.Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments include cash, receivables and marketable securities and any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one party and a financial liability or equity instrument to another party. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:

 

1.Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

2.Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

3.Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

Marketable securities are measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies these investments as financial assets whose value is derived from quoted prices in active markets and carries them at FVTPL.

 

The Company classifies its cash, restricted cash and receivables as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, lease liability, due to related parties, and convertible promissory note are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s convertible promissory note, and lease liabilities approximates fair value as they bear a rate of interest commensurate with market rates.

13.Financial instruments (continued)

 

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that future cash flows, net income and comprehensive income will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As the Company’s operations are conducted internationally, operations and capital activity may be transacted in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity party to the transaction.

 

The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposures to foreign currency cash flows by obtaining most of its estimated annual U.S. cash requirements and holding the remaining currency in Canadian dollars. The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and consolidated statement of financial position exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The following table provides an indication of the Company’s foreign currency exposures during the period/year ended March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

 

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
   C$   C$ 
Cash   2,333,327    5,120,718 
Marketable Securities - Current   23,840,337    22,333,093 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (331,929)   (351,193)
    25,841,735    27,102,618 

 

A 10% change in Canadian/US foreign exchange rate at period end would have changed the net loss of the Company, assuming that all other variables remained constant, by $1,907,120 for the period/year ended March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $2,049,192).

 

The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk arises from cash held by banks and financial institutions and receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of these financial assets. Some of the Company’s cash is held by a Canadian bank.

 

Market risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating value of its marketable securities (Note 4). The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the March 31, 2024 value of marketable securities every 10% change in the share price of these holdings would have impacted loss for the period/year, by approximately $1,760,000 (December 31, 2023 - $1,689,000) before income taxes.

 

Further, the Company still has a significant amount of projects still in the exploration stage. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence financial markets and may indirectly affect the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration.

13.Financial instruments (continued)

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk mainly arises from the Company’s cash, which receives interest based on market interest rates. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium resource properties in the United States which is subject to significant inherent risk. Declines in the market prices of uranium and delays in the production, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and cash flows and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations. Adverse changes to the factors mentioned above have impacted the recoverability of the Company’s mineral properties property, mining properties, and plant and equipment, which may result in impairment losses being recorded.

 

The Company’s current operating budget and future estimated cash flows indicate that the Company will generate positive cash flow in excess of the Company’s cash commitments within the twelve-month period following the date these consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance.

 

The Company may be required to raise additional funds from external sources to meet these requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing shareholders may be diluted. If the Company is unable to obtain financing from external sources or issuing securities the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations.

The Company operates in a single segment: the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the United States.
