NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2020 AND 2019

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  1. ROYALTY, STREAM, AND OTHER INTERESTS (cont'd…)
    During the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Company had the following acquisitions:
    Wharf Acquisition
    In June 2020, the Company closed an agreement to acquire an existing 1.0% Gross Value Return ("GVR") royalty interest on the operating Wharf Mine owned by Coeur Mining Inc from third parties. Under the terms of the agreement the third parties received cash of US$1,000,000 and 899,201 common shares (valued at $7.20 per share on June 30, 2020) as consideration for the GVR. The Company incurred $200,657 in transaction costs associated with this transaction. The Wharf mine is an open pit, heap leach operation located in the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota and has been in production since 1983, as such the Wharf GVR has been classified as a producing asset upon acquisition.
    Fosterville Acquisition
    In July 2020, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with NuEnergy Gas Limited to acquire an existing 2.5% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty on the northern and southern portions of Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd.'s operating Fosterville mine ("Fosterville") in Victoria, Australia, for a total consideration of AUD$2.0 million in cash and 467,730 common shares. The transaction closed after the period end on September 28, 2020.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds a 15% interest in Silverback Ltd. ("Silverback"), which is a privately held company, whose sole business is the receipt and distribution of the net earnings of the New Luika Gold Mine ("NLGM") silver stream. Distributions to the shareholders are completed on an annual basis at minimum. Given the terms of the shareholders' agreement governing the policies over operations and distributions to shareholders, the Company's judgment is that it has significant influence over Silverback, but not control and therefore equity accounting is appropriate. Summarized financial information for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 of Silverback is as follows:

In March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible loan facility (the "Loan Facility") of $12,000,000 with Beedie Capital ("Beedie") to fund acquisitions of new royalties and streams. The Loan Facility consisted an initial advance of $7,000,000, with the remaining $5,000,000 available for subsequent advances in minimum tranches of $1,250,000. The facility carried an interest rate of 8.0% on amount advanced and 2.5% on standby funds available, with the principal repayment due on April 21, 2023. Per the Loan Facility, at the option of Beedie, principal outstanding could be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $5.56 per share.

In August 2019, the Company drew down the initial advance of $7,000,000, of which $4,217,682 was allocated to the liability portion and the residual value of $2,782,318 was allocated to the conversion feature as equity and a deferred tax liability of $751,226 related to the taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the convertible loan was recognized in equity reserves. The effective interest rate on the liability was 23.5% per annum, with an expected life of four years.

  • Beedie converted $6,000,000 of the $7,000,000 drawn down on the Loan Facility in 2019 at a conversion price of $5.56 per share for a total of 1,079,136 common shares of the Company. The conversion price on the remaining $1.0 million will remain at $5.56 per share;
  • the Company drew down the remaining undrawn $5,000,000 available from the Loan Facility and the conversion price for this drawn $5,000,000 million was repriced from $5.56 to $9.90 per share;
  • the Loan Facility was increased by an aggregate $20,000,000. All future advances from the additional $20,000,000 will have a minimum amount of $2,500,000 and each advance will have its own conversion price based on a 20% premium to the 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the Company's shares on the date of such advance;
  • if for a period of 30 consecutive trading days the 30-day VWAP is at a 50% premium above any or all of the conversion prices, the Company may elect to convert the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Facility at the respective conversion prices;
  • the standby fee on all undrawn funds available under the Loan Facility will bear an interest rate of 1.5% (previously 2.5%), the interest rate on all drawn funds will remain unchanged at 8.0%; and
  • the maturity date remains unchanged with principal payment due April 21, 2023.

Following this conversion and draw down, under the Loan Facility and the Loan Amendment (together the "Amended Loan Facility") the Company has $1,000,000 outstanding with a conversion price of $5.56, $5,000,000 outstanding with a conversion price of $9.90 per share, and has $20,000,000 million available under the Amended Loan Facility with the conversion price to be determined on the date of any future advances.

In August 2020, the Company drew down $5,000,000 from the Amended Loan Facility of which $3,753,572 was allocated to the liability portion and the residual value of $1,246,428 was allocated to the conversion feature as equity reserves. A deferred tax liability of $336,536 related to the taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the convertible loan was recognized as an offset in equity reserves. The effective interest rate on the liability portion was 20.0% per annum, with an expected life of approximately three years.

In August 2020, as per the terms of the Loan Amendment, Beedie converted $6,000,000 of the initial draw-down on the Loan Facility in 2019 at a conversion price of $5.56 per share for a total of 1,079,136 common shares of the Company. Upon conversion the Company derecognized $4,022,337 from the liability, and $2,384,844 from equity reserves and transferred $6,407,181 to share capital. The Company also recorded a deferred income tax expense of $533,969 with an offset to equity reserves to unwind a portion of the deferred taxes that were recognized in August 2019 upon the first draw-down.

For the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized finance charges of $144,808 (2019 - $336,098) related to costs associated with the Amended Loan Facility including standby fees on the undrawn portion of the Amended Loan Facility, as well as set up and other associated costs.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont'd…)

Fair value

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  1. Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  2. Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and
  3. Level 3 - Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

The carrying value of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Royalty, stream receivable (if any) includes provisional pricing, and final price and assay adjustments and is valued using observable market commodity forward prices and thereby classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's loans payable is approximated by its carrying value as its interest rates are comparable to market interest rates.

Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to provide shareholder returns through maximization of the profitable growth of the business and to maintain a degree of financial flexibility relevant to the underlying operating and metal price risks while safeguarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The capital of the Company consists of share capital. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management. 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. The Company may issue new shares in order to meet its financial obligations. The management of the Company believes that the capital resources of the Company as at August 31, 2020 are sufficient for its present needs for at least the next twelve months. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash deposits, as well as credit exposures to counterparties of outstanding receivables and committed transactions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk other than cash deposits. The Company's cash deposits are primarily held with a Canadian chartered bank. Receivables include value added tax due from the Canadian government. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk and overall, the Company's credit risk has not declined from the prior year.

Liquidity risk

The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from royalty interests, its holdings of cash, and its committed liabilities. The maturities of the Company's non‐current liability are disclosed in Note 7. All current liabilities are settled within one year.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont'd…)
    Currency risk
    The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada, Australia, Argentina, and the United States and incurs expenditures in currencies other than Canadian dollars. Thereby, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. Based on the above net exposure, as at August 31, 2020, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $36,000 in the Company's pre-tax income or loss.
  2. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
    In August 2019, the Company drew down an initial advance of $7,000,000 on its convertible loan facility (Note 7). In the
    Company's financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company allocated $4,217,682 to the liability portion and the residual $2,782,318 was allocated to the conversion feature within equity reserves, however at that time no amount was recorded related to any taxable temporary differences. While preparing the Company's annual financial statements for the twelve months ended May 31, 2020, the Company reassessed the conversion feature recorded within equity reserves. Upon further analysis it was determined that a deferred tax liability of $751,226 related to a taxable temporary difference arising from the equity portion of the convertible loan should also be recorded in equity reserves and this amount was recorded in the Company's annual financial statements for the twelve months ended May 31, 2020. As the $751,226 amount recorded at year-end was related to a transaction that initially took place during the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company has decided to adjust the related prior period comparative amounts for the three months ended and as at August 31, 2019, to reflect the recognition of the deferred tax related to the convertible debenture in the period when it first occurred. As a result of this adjustment the following amounts were adjusted:

The amounts in the table above were corrected on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, and the statement of cash flows. In addition, the allocation of conversion feature in the statement of changes in equity changed from the previously reported amount of $2,782,318 to $2,031,092. Net loss in the statement of changes on equity also changed consistent with the table above.

Please note all comparative amounts that changed due to the correction of the error disclosed above were changed as required and all comparative numbers disclosed within these statements reflect the above noted adjustments.
