1. Nature and Continuance of Operations | |
Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 14, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. | |
The Company has not generated any revenues from operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $3,692,731. Further operating losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Since inception of May 14, 1996 to March 31, 2014 the Company’s accumulated deficit totals $88,087,094. The Company’s cash on hand and working capital at March 31, 2014 is $43,529,083 and $39,223,657, respectively. | |
Recoverability of amounts capitalized for the Company’s mineral properties, other than the Pan Project, are dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise funds or generate profits to enable funds to be available to complete exploration on the mineral properties, identify economically recoverable reserves and develop the mineral properties into profitable projects, or the receipt of adequate proceeds from the sale of such projects. Recoverability of amounts capitalized for the Pan Project is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise funds to complete development of the project and operate it profitability, or the receipt of adequate proceeds from any sale of the project. | |
The Company’s ability to complete its business objectives on a long term basis, as well as continuing on a going concern basis beyond the next twelve months, depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing for the capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations at the Pan Project. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company or, in certain circumstances, the Series A Preferred Shareholders (Note 9). | |

2. Significant Accounting Policies | |
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. | |
In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of our prior audited consolidated financial statements, except as described below. The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | |
Effective January 1, 2014, the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations changed from the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”) based upon significant changes in economic facts and circumstances, which included the receipt of the Record of Decision for the Pan Project in December 2013, the commencement of construction at the Pan Project in 2014, and recent and anticipated financings in U.S. dollars. These changes in economic facts and circumstances have resulted in the U.S. dollar being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The change in the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations has been applied prospectively with differences attributable to current-rate translation of assets and liabilities at the date of change being reported through other comprehensive income. The reporting currency remains the Canadian dollar, and all amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. | |
The financial statements of the Company’s operations are translated from their functional currency, the United States dollar, to the reporting currency, the Canadian dollar, using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated using the current rate in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. | |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, unless such tax loss or credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes resulting from the disallowance of a tax position. In the event that the tax position is disallowed or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit shall be presented in the financial statements as a liability and shall not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods, and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” ("FASB ASC Topic 830"). The update clarifies that complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign entity is required to release the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") for transactions occurring within a foreign entity. However, transactions impacting investments in a foreign entity may result in a full or partial release of CTA even though complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity has not occurred. Furthermore, for transactions involving step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment will be fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 405, Liabilities” ("FASB ASC Topic 405"). The update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date as the sum of the obligation the entity agreed to pay among its co-obligors and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations that existed upon adoption of the ASU. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |

Net (Income) Loss Per Share | ' | ||||||
3. Net (Income) Loss Per Share | |||||||
Basic (income) loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (income) loss per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and includes the dilutive effect of preferred shares, stock options and warrants. | |||||||
The two-class method is used to calculate basic and diluted (income) loss per common share since preferred shares are a participating security under ASC 260 Earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic (income) loss per common share is computed by dividing net (income) loss attributable to common shareholders after allocation of income to participating securities by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted (income) loss per common share is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. In periods of net loss, no effect is given to participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company. | |||||||
Basic and diluted (income) loss per share for the three month periods ended 2014 and 2013 are calculated as follows: | |||||||

4. Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: | |||||||||||||
· | Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. | ||||||||||||
· | Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||
· | Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. | ||||||||||||
The Company did not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||
The Company’s Level 2 liability as of December 31, 2013 is an embedded derivative liability related to the convertible Series A Preferred Shares issued as part of a private offering closed on December 13, 2012 (Note 9). The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to determine the fair value of the derivative liability and the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the derivative liability through the Statement of Operations. As a result of the change in functional currency of the Company’s parent from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, effective January 1, 2014, the embedded derivative liability related to the convertible Series A Preferred Shares was nil as of March 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||
The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||
Financial instruments measured at fair value as at December 31, 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||

7. Reclamation and Remediation | |||
The Company is required to post bonds with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for reclamation of planned mineral exploration and development programs associated with the Company’s mineral properties located in the United States. For the Spring Valley property, Barrick is responsible for bonding for the surface disturbance created by the exploration and development programs in which they are funding. | |||
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had purchased surety contracts for reclamation bonds covering the Company’s exploration projects in the amount of U.S.$846,491. The surety contracts are in place for a one year period through May of 2014, at which point the Company can elect to renew the surety contracts or deposit the full cash amount of the reclamation bonds with the BLM. | |||
As a part of the permitting process for the Pan project, the Company is required to have a reclamation bond of approximately U.S.$15,000,000 held with the BLM prior to commencement of construction. The Company purchased a surety contract for the reclamation bond, which requires the Company to deposit U.S.$3,700,000 into an escrow account as security for abandonment and remediation obligations. The holder of the surety contract may require, at its sole discretion that the Company make additional deposits to the escrow account of up to the U.S.$15,000,000 reclamation bond amount. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has paid U.S.$1,500,000 of the U.S.$3,700,000 deposit, which has been recorded in reclamation deposits on the consolidated balance sheet, and intends to remit the remaining U.S.$2,200,000 during 2014. The Company is required to maintain the escrow account until all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed to the satisfaction of the BLM. Over the life of the Pan project, prior to the completion of all abandonment and remediation obligations, the Company has the right to request a refund of a portion or all of the Pan Project reclamation deposit. Granting of the request is at the Surety’s sole discretion. | |||
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1,231,086 and $61,236, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to the Company’s properties. A reconciliation of the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is as follows: | |||

(c) Stock options | ||||||||||||||||
The Company adopted the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) after approval of the 2013 Plan by the Company’s Shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting on June 20, 2013. The 2013 Plan is designed to replace the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”); however, all outstanding option grants as of June 20, 2013 will remain under the 2008 Stock Option Plan. Upon adoption of the 2013 Plan on June 20, 2013, the 2008 Stock Option Plan ceased to be available for the granting of new stock options. | ||||||||||||||||
The 2013 Plan permits a fixed aggregate number of common shares to be issuable under all awards under the 2013 Plan of 16,628,914 (“Award Cap”), which was equivalent to 10% of the Company’s common shares plus Series A Preferred Shares as of April 18, 2013. The total number of common shares issuable to insiders at any time and issued to insiders of the Company within any one-year period pursuant to stock options granted under the 2013 Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares and preferred shares. The number of common shares issuable for Awards made under the 2008 Stock Option Plan is deducted from the Award Cap. The Award Cap represents the maximum number of shares issuable under both plans. | ||||||||||||||||
The exercise price of a stock option granted under the 2013 Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant of such option. The fair market value is the closing price of one common share on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant on the NYSE MKT. Stock options granted under the 2013 Plan are subject to the following restrictions: (i) a promissory note is not permitted as payment for a stock option; (ii) the maximum term for stock options is 10 years from the date of grant; and (iii) unless otherwise fixed, stock options expire three months after the person to which they have been granted is terminated (12 months if due to death) or when options expire during a trading restriction, expiry is extended to the third trading day after a period during which trading in the common shares was prohibited or restricted pursuant to the policies of the Company. | ||||||||||||||||
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions which are based on several different criteria. Expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected dividend yield is assumed to be nil, as the Company has not paid dividends since inception on common shares. Expected forfeitures are calculated based upon historical experience of options. The expected life is estimated based on historical experience for options granted. Risk free interest rates are based on U.S. government obligations with a term approximating the expected life of the option. | ||||||||||||||||

In December 2012, the Company issued 37,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares at U.S.$1.85 per share for gross proceeds of $68,936,000 (U.S.$70,000,000) by way of a private placement. The Company incurred a total of $641,333 in share issuance costs, of which the Company proportionately allocated $229,753 to the embedded derivative liability and, the remaining share issuance costs of $411,580 are presented net of the redeemable preferred shares on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Series A Preferred Shares are a participating security as defined under ASC 260, in that the security participates in dividends with common stock and has rights to earnings (additional-paid-in-capital in the absence of earnings) that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders. There is an eight percent (8%) annual dividend, compounding monthly, payable quarterly on the Series A Preferred Shares. At the Company’s option, it may pay the 8% dividend with common shares, net of withholding taxes, in-lieu of cash, based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares as quoted by the NYSE MKT on the trading day immediately prior to the payment date. | |||||||||||||||

Canadian tax legislation requires a corporate tax to be paid on all cash or in-kind dividends declared and paid by a Canadian entity on taxable preferred shares. The dividends declared since the offering in December 2012 have resulted in Canadian corporate “Part VI.1” tax of $1,895,015, $1,140,206 of which has been remitted as of March 31, 2014. The Company is entitled to a deduction for tax purposes equal to 3.5 times Part VI.1 taxes paid. Therefore, future Canadian corporate tax savings, if realized, should approximately offset the preferred dividend tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $404,602 and $424,576 of Part VI.1 tax expense, respectively. | |||||||||||||||
The holders of each Series A Preferred Share are able to convert the shares into a common share on a one-for-one basis at any time. After December 13, 2013, the Company can pro-ratably force conversion of the shares into common shares on a one-for-one basis provided that the weighted average price of the common shares exceeds U.S.$3.70 on each trading day during 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to both the delivery of an applicable mandatory conversion notice and the applicable mandatory conversion date. From and after the date which is five years from the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Shares (December 13, 2017), the Company or each holder of Series A Preferred Shares has the right, exercisable by 30 days' notice in writing, to redeem or to require the Company to redeem any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares plus accumulated unpaid dividends for cash. | |||||||||||||||
If the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares had been converted as of March 31, 2014, 37,837,838 common shares would have been issued and the fair value of those common shares based upon the closing price on the NYSE MKT as of March 31, 2014 of U.S.$1.05 would have been U.S.$39,729,730. If the common share price was above U.S.$1.85, there would be no change to the number of common shares issued upon conversion. | |||||||||||||||
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, subject to the approval of the majority of the holders of the Company’s common shares, have the right to nominate and elect, voting as a class, one (1) director to the Company’s Board. If the size of the Company’s Board is increased beyond seven (7) members, increases will occur in increments of two (2) and the “Preferred Governance Majority” will have the right to designate one (1) of the two director nominees for election or appointment as director. The Preferred Governance Majority has the right to fill any vacancy of the preferred shareholder director position. The Company agreed to seek shareholder approval for the Series A Preferred Shares director election and appointment rights at the Company’s next annual meeting and at each annual and special meeting of the shareholders until such rights are approved. | |||||||||||||||
If the Company is unable to redeem any Series A Preferred Shares two (2) years after a demand for redemption, then, subject to a special separate resolution of the holders of common shares and provided it is permitted by the Company’s articles, as amended, the holder of Series A Preferred Shares are to be entitled to (i) as a single class, vote to elect a majority of our Board, and (ii) in the event that our articles do not permit a single class of our shareholders to elect a majority of our Board sell, as may be permitted by applicable law, on our behalf, our assets, in such holder’s discretion, that are sufficient to redeem any Series A Preferred Shares. The proposal of this special separate resolution of the holders of our common shares failed to pass during our 2013 Annual General and Special meeting of shareholders. | |||||||||||||||
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to 125% of the initial issue price of US$1.85 prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of our common shares. | |||||||||||||||
In addition, holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have consent rights over a variety of significant corporate and financing matters, including, but not limited to, the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, the issuance of any common shares or common share equivalents for less than $1.85 per share or any amendment to the Company’s articles in a manner adverse to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares. | |||||||||||||||
Of the 37,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares sold, EREF-MID II, LLC and HCP-MID, LLC purchased a combined 17,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares. Hale Fund Management, LLC, (“HFM”) is the manager of EREF-MID II, LLC. Hale Capital Partners, LP, (“HCP”) is the sole member of HCP-MID, LLC. Hale Fund Partners, LLC, (“HFP”) is the general partner of HCP. Hale Capital Management, LP, (“HCM”) is the manager of HCP. Hale Fund Management, LLC, (“HFM”), is the general partner of HCM and exercises voting and investment power over the Series A Preferred Shares held by HCP-MID, LLC. Mr. Martin Hale, a member of the Company’s board of directors, is the (i) CEO of HCP, (ii) the sole owner and managing member of HFP and (iii) the sole owner and CEO of HFM. | |||||||||||||||
U.S. GAAP requires that embedded derivatives not closely related to the host contract be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for at fair value. Because the convertible feature of the Series A Preferred Shares is denominated in the U.S. dollar, a foreign currency in respect to the functional currency of the parent of the Company as of December 13, 2012, the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares and throughout fiscal year 2013, the Company bifurcated the Series A Preferred Shares and recorded an embedded derivative liability for the conversion feature. Effective January 1, 2014, the functional currency of the parent changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar based upon significant changes in economic facts and circumstances. As a result of this change in functional currency to the U.S. dollar, the embedded derivative liability recorded as of December 31, 2013 of $8,189,720 was reclassified to additional paid in capital pursuant to ASC815 due to the conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Shares no longer being denominated in a foreign currency. | |||||||||||||||

Foreign Currency Translation | |
Effective January 1, 2014, the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations changed from the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”) based upon significant changes in economic facts and circumstances, which included the receipt of the Record of Decision for the Pan Project in December 2013, the commencement of construction at the Pan Project in 2014, and recent and anticipated financings in U.S. dollars. These changes in economic facts and circumstances have resulted in the U.S. dollar being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The change in the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations has been applied prospectively with differences attributable to current-rate translation of assets and liabilities at the date of change being reported through other comprehensive income. The reporting currency remains the Canadian dollar, and all amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. | |
The financial statements of the Company’s operations are translated from their functional currency, the United States dollar, to the reporting currency, the Canadian dollar, using the current rate method. Assets and liabilities are translated using the current rate in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. | |

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, unless such tax loss or credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes resulting from the disallowance of a tax position. In the event that the tax position is disallowed or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit shall be presented in the financial statements as a liability and shall not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods, and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” ("FASB ASC Topic 830"). The update clarifies that complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign entity is required to release the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") for transactions occurring within a foreign entity. However, transactions impacting investments in a foreign entity may result in a full or partial release of CTA even though complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity has not occurred. Furthermore, for transactions involving step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment will be fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 405, Liabilities” ("FASB ASC Topic 405"). The update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date as the sum of the obligation the entity agreed to pay among its co-obligors and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations that existed upon adoption of the ASU. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
