Eldorado Gold Corporation

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.General Information

Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or the “Company”) is a primarily gold exploration, development and mining company. The Company has operations and ongoing exploration and development projects in Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Canada, Romania and Serbia. The Company disposed of its China operations (“China Business”) in 2016. Details of the sale are included in note 4b. On July 10, 2017, the Company finalized its acquisition of Integra Gold Corporation (“Integra”), a Canadian company with mineral assets in Quebec, Canada (note 4a).

Eldorado is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada.

 

2.Basis of preparation
a)Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The same accounting policies are used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as for the most recent audited annual financial statements and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 26, 2017.

b)Judgement and estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

3.Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes

The following standards have been published and are mandatory for Eldorado’s annual accounting periods no earlier than January 1, 2018:

·IFRS 2 ‘Share-Based Payments’ In June 2016, the IASB issued final amendments to this standard. IFRS 2 clarifies the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. These amendments deal with variations in the final settlement arrangements including: (a) accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition, (b) classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features, and (c) accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity. IFRS 2 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to apply this standard at the date it becomes effective. The Company does not currently expect the impact of these changes to be material.

3.Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes (continued)
·IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ – This standard was published in July 2014 and replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to apply this standard at the date it becomes effective.

The Company expects the following impact of this standard upon adoption:

                        i)         the classification of its financial assets and liabilities to remain consistent under the new standard, with the possible exception of equity securities. Under the new standard, equity investments that move through other comprehensive income can be recorded directly into its profit and loss results or continue recording against other comprehensive income with no profit and loss effect on sale. If the Company does not make an election, changes in fair value of the equity securities will be recognized in profit and loss results.

                      ii)         the company does not expect to apply hedge accounting to hedge components of its non-financial items.

                     iii)         the Company does not expect a material impact to its financial statements from any of the other changes to this standard, including the new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets.

·IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ – This standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising 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 been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to apply this standard at the date it becomes effective.

The Company continues to evaluate the extent of the impact of the adoption of this standard, primarily analyzing its doré and concentrate sale agreements. Based on our preliminary assessment, the new standard is not expected to significantly affect the gross amount or timing of revenue recognized by the Company.

·IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ – This standard was published in January 2016 and replaces the existing guidance in IAS 17, ‘Leases’. IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for lessees and for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments. The accounting treatment for lessors will remain largely the same as under IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating all operating leases as it is expected that, under this standard, the present value of most lease commitments will be shown as a liability on the balance sheet together with an asset representing the right of use, including those classified as operating leases under the existing standard. This implies higher amount of depreciation expense and interest on lease liabilities that will be recorded in the Company’s profit and loss results. Additionally, a corresponding reduction in general and administrative costs and/or production costs is expected. The Company has not quantified these impacts at this time.

There are other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that have been published and are not yet effective. The Company believes they will have no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

4.Acquisitions and divestitures
a)Acquisition of Integra
On May 15, 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Integra, pursuant to which Eldorado agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Integra that it did not already own, by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). The acquisition was finalized on July 10, 2017.
Under the terms of the Arrangement former Integra shareholders were entitled to receive, at their option, for each Integra share they own either (i) 0.2425 Eldorado shares plus C$0.0001 in cash, (ii) C$1.2125 in cash, in both (i) and (ii) subject to pro ration, or (iii) 0.18188 of an Eldorado share and C$0.30313 in cash. Eldorado issued 77,180,898 common shares pursuant to the Arrangement with a fair value of $188,061 and paid $99,823 in cash to the former Integra shareholders. Integra is a resource company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties. It is focused on its high-grade Lamaque gold project located in Val-d’Or, Quebec.

As part of the consideration, the Company included advances to Integra for $27,046 and the fair value of the existing available-for-sale Integra investment that it previously owned for $41,968. The Company recognized a gain on marketable securities for $28,364 and taxes of $4,024, as a reversal of the unrealized gain and taxes included in other comprehensive income at the date of acquisition related to this previously owned investment.

The fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Integra was based on the closing share price on July 7, 2017 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The foreign exchange rate used at time of acquisition was CDN$1 = US$0.776.

The goodwill of $99,462 resulting from the acquisition arises mainly on the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and represents, among other things, the exploration potential within the assets acquired and future variability in the price of minerals. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Eldorado paid net cash of $121,664 as a result of the Integra transaction. This net decrease of cash was a result of cash consideration, including advances to Integra, of $126,869 net of an acquired cash balance of $5,205.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Integra Gold Corp issued flow-through shares (“FTS”) for total proceeds of C$46.7 million and the eligible flow-through expenditures were renounced to shareholders as at December 31, 2016. At the time of acquisition, Integra was obligated to spend the remaining flow through funds of C$15.8 million by December 31, 2017. The tax authorities are reviewing the eligibility of some of Integra’s past flow-through expenditures. As a result, a provision of $2.0 million has been recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as the exposure related to potential penalties and shareholder compensation, based on challenged expenditures to date. Integra’s FTS have been measured using the residual method. Under this method, the proceeds from issuance have been allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits based on the difference between the quoted price of non-flow through shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow through shares. A liability was recognized for this difference as the entity has an obligation to pass the tax deductions to the investor. As Integra fulfills its obligation, the sale of tax deductions has been recognized in the income statement as other income and the liability derecognized. Integra’s flow-through share premium liability as at September 30, 2017 amounts to $2.0 million, as compared to $4.3 million at the acquisition date.

Flow-through share premium liability (4,280)
Other liabilities   (9,635)
Deferred income taxes   (127,754)
      $               356,898

For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s best estimates taking into account all available information at the time of acquisition as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. The Company will continue to review information and perform further analysis with respect to these assets, prior to finalizing the allocation of the purchase price.

Acquisition related costs of $4,265 have been charged to acquisition costs in the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

These consolidated financial statements include Integra’s results from July 10, 2017 to September 30, 2017. The net loss before tax included in the consolidated income statement since July 10, 2017 contributed by Integra is $3,877. Had Integra been consolidated from January 1, 2017, the consolidated income statement would include a net loss before tax of $16,053 from Integra.

 

b)Sale of China Business
On April 26, 2016, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its 82 percent interest in Jinfeng to a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National Gold Group for $300 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments. The sale was completed on September 6, 2016. In addition to the sale of Jinfeng, on May 16, 2016 Eldorado announced it had reached an agreement to sell its respective interest in White Mountain, Tanjianshan and Eastern Dragon to an affiliate of Yintai Resources Co. Ltd. (“Yintai”) for $600 million in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments. The sale was completed on November 22, 2016.
The Company concluded that during the second quarter of 2016, the assets and liabilities of the China Business met the criteria for classification as held for sale as settlement was expected within twelve months. Accordingly, an initial post-tax loss of $339 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2016 on re-measurement to fair value less costs of disposal of our China Business. For the year ended December 31, 2016, a net loss on sale of assets held for sale of $351.0 million was recorded in net loss from discontinued operations as a result of completing both sale transactions.

9.Fair value of financial instruments

Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

9.Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value as at September 30, 2017 are marketable securities and a derivative related to the Company’s metal hedge positions on zinc. The Company’s derivative liability of $171, which is considered level 2, is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. The loss on derivatives for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $948 (YTD - $171) and is presented in Loss (gain) on marketable securities and other investments in our consolidated income statement.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily publicly-traded equity investments classified as available-for-sale securities. With the exception of the fair market value of the Company’s senior notes (note 5), which are included in level 2, all carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair value.

11.Segmented information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include gross profit (loss), expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at September 30, 2017, Eldorado had six reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.

Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine or mine under construction. The Turkey reporting segment includes the Kişladag and the Efemcukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkey. The Brazil reporting segment includes the Vila Nova mine, Tocantinzinho project and exploration activities in Brazil. The Greece reporting segment includes the Stratoni and Olympias mines; the Skouries, Perama Hill and Sapes projects and exploration activities in Greece. The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej project and exploration activities in Romania. The Canada reporting segment includes the Lamaque project and exploration activities in Canada. Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate office and exploration activities in other countries.

Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on at least a monthly basis. The mines that have been aggregated into one segment share similar economic characteristics.

The Company assessed the leach pad inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value and determined that no write down was required as at September 30, 2017.
