Rye Patch Gold Corp. Acquisition
On March 19, 2018, the Company and Rye Patch Gold Corp. (“Rye Patch”) jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Rye Patch for consideration of 0.48 common shares of the Company (the "Exchange Ratio") and CAD$0.001 in cash for each common share of Rye Patch. Outstanding Rye Patch warrants and options will be converted into warrants and options to acquire the Company’s common shares based on the Exchange Ratio (“Replacement Warrants and Options”).
The transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement and will require the approval of at least:
| • | 50% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Alio voting together as a single class at the annual general meeting of Alio shareholders; and, |
| • | 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Rye Patch voting together as a single class at a special meeting of Rye Patch shareholders. |
In addition to securityholder and court approvals, the transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature.
a) | Statement of compliance |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May 8, 2018.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As such, these interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (“annual consolidated financial statements”).

(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
b) | Significant accounting policies |
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements with exception of the following:
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") which replaced IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking 'expected loss' impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes significant changes to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach. IFRS 9 did not impact the Company's classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The standard also had negligible impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at the transition date.
The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the current standard:
| • | IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company's business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments for principal and interest. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9. The change did not impact the carrying amounts of any of the Company’s financial assets on transition date. |
| • | The adoption of the new "expected credit loss" impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39, had a negligible impact on the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets on the transition date given the Company transacts exclusively with large established commodity trading firms and other organizations with strong credit ratings and the negligible historical level of customer default. |
| • | The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms previously available under IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been replaced with the principle of an "economic relationship". Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity's risk management activities have also been introduced. The Company had not designated any of its financial instruments as hedges as at December 31, 2017, or upon adoption of IFRS 9. |
The Company has also adopted a narrow scope amendment to IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments - Disclosures. As a result of applying the amendment, the Company will add disclosure relating to its risk management strategies for which hedge accounting is applied in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 18 - Revenue ("IAS 18"). IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective approach without applying any practical expedients.

(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
IFRS 15 requires entities to recognize revenue when ‘control’ of goods or services transfers to the customer whereas the previous standard, IAS 18, required entities to recognize revenue when the ‘risks and rewards’ of the goods or services transfer to the customer. The Company concluded there is no change in the timing of revenue recognition of its gold doré sales under IFRS 15 compared to the previous standard as the point of transfer of risks and rewards of goods and services and transfer of control occur at the same time. As such, no adjustment was required to the Company's financial statements.
Additionally, IFRS 15 requires entities to apportion the transaction price attributable to contracts from customers to distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company has evaluated its sales agreements and concluded delivery of individual gold doré shipments are the only performance obligations in the contracts and accordingly there will be no change in the amount or timing of revenue recognition under the new standard.
| iii. | Other narrow scope amendments/interpretations |
The Company has adopted amendments to IFRS 2 - Share Based Payments and IFRIC 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, which did not have an impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
| iv. | Changes in accounting policies not yet effective |
In January 2016, the IASB published a new accounting standard, IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") which supersedes IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted if IFRS 15 has also been applied. The Company plans to adopt IFRS 16 for periods beginning after January 1, 2019.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of applying IFRS 16.
c) | Critical judgements and estimates |
The Company’s management makes judgements in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. The critical judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in notes 2(d) and 2(e) to the annual consolidated financial statements with exception of the following:
Revenue recognition as a result of adopting IFRS 15
| i. | Determination of performance obligations |
The Company applied judgement to determine if a good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct based on whether the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources and whether the good or service is separately identifiable. Based on these criteria, the Company determined the primary performance obligation relating to its sales contracts is the delivery of the gold doré.

(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
Judgement is required to determine when transfer of control occurs relating to the sale of the Company's gold doré to its customers. Management based its assessment on a number of indicators of control, which include, but are not limited to whether the Company has present right of payment, and whether the physical possession of the goods, significant risks and rewards and legal title have been transferred to the customer.
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries, except as otherwise noted. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. All inter-company balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated.

The share purchase warrants are classified as a financial instrument under the principles of IFRS 9, as the share purchase warrants are considered a derivative financial instrument given that their exercise price is in Canadian dollars (C$) while the functional currency of the Company is the US dollar. Accordingly, the outstanding warrants are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date with change in the fair value charged to finance (income) expense (note 3(c)).

| • | Unlimited number of convertible preference shares without par value, with the same rights as the common shares on dissolution and similar events. These shares have no voting rights and are not entitled to dividend payments. |
There were no common share transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, there were 44,678,701 issued and outstanding common shares. The Company does not currently pay dividends and entitlement will only arise upon declaration.
The Company has an incentive share option plan (“the plan”) in place under which it is authorized to grant share options to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants. The plan allows the Company to grant share options up to a maximum of 10.0% of the number of issued shares of the Company.
Share options granted under the plan will have a term not to exceed five years, have an exercise price not less than the Market Price as defined by the TSX Corporate Finance Manual and vest over periods no less than eighteen months.
Share option transactions and the number of share options outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and year ended December 31, 2017, are summarized as follows:
| Number of share options | | Weighted average exercise price (C$) | |

The fair value of share options recognized as an expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $276 (three months ended March 31, 2017 - $177) (note 3(b)).
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018, was C$1.53 ($1.21) (three months ended March 31, 2017 - C$2.85 ($2.15). The following are the weighted average assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model valuation of share options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:
| | | | | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | | | | | 2018 | | 2017 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 2.0 | % | | 1.0 | % |
Expected life of options | 5.0 years | | 4.5 years | |

Forfeiture rate | | 2.2 | % | | 2.2 | % |
Dividend rate | | 0.0 | % | | 0.0 | % |
The risk-free rate of periods within the expected life of the share option is based on the Canadian government bond rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the annualized volatility assumptions are based on the VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners Exchange Traded Fund (GDXJ) and historical forfeiture rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the annualized volatility and forfeiture rate assumptions are based on the Company’s historical results.
c) | Share-based compensation |
The Company has a long-term incentive plan consisting of deferred share units (“DSU”), restricted share units (“RSU”), and performance share units (“PSU”) under its long-term incentive plan.

11. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company has established a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs of valuation techniques used in making fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and,
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.
At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, none of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at fair value with the exception of the share purchase warrants (note 8) and derivative asset/liability.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, trade payables, and vendor loan approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at fair value that would be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above with the exception of the derivative asset/liability, which is a Level 2 fair value measurement.
As at March 31, 2018, the Company holds open option contracts whereby the Company purchased the option to sell gold ounces at a set price (“put option”) and financed the purchase price of this put option by selling the right to a third party to purchase a number of the Company’s gold ounces at a set price (“call option”). The Company has placed a minimum floor sales price and a maximum sales price on the ounces that are subject to these contracts. A total of 45,000 gold ounces were placed under these contracts with expiry dates through to December 27, 2018, with a weighted average floor price of $1,250 per gold ounce and a weighted average maximum sales price of $1,444 per gold ounce. At May 8, 2018, 40,000 of these option contracts were unsettled and 5,000 had expired. The fair value of the derivative liability of $57 (fair value of the derivative asset at December 31, 2017 - $21) is based on the valuation of the outstanding gold option contracts using Level 2 inputs and valuation techniques.
Operating results of operating segments are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. The Company has determined that it has two reportable operating segments, the San Francisco Mine and the Ana Paula Project. Other consists primarily of the Company’s corporate assets, derivative assets, warrant liabilities and corporate and administrative expenses which are not allocated to operating segments. Prior period results have been represented to reflect the current presentation.
A reporting segment is defined as a component of the Company:
| • | that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues or incur expenses; |
| • | whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and, |
| • | for which discrete financial information is available. |
The CODM evaluates segment performance based on earnings from operations and capital expenditures.
The Company does not treat the production of gold and silver, the primary two minerals produced at the San Francisco Mine, as separate operating segments as they are the output of the same production process, only become separately identifiable as finished goods and are not reported separately from a management perspective.
