NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019 and 2018
(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
Alio Gold Inc. (“Alio” or “the Company”) was incorporated on March 17, 2005 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing and operating mineral resource properties in Mexico and the United States (“US”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timmins Goldcorp Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Molimentales del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V. (“MdN”) and Minera Aurea, S.A de C.V. (“Minera Aurea”) (collectively “the subsidiaries”). MdN owns the San Francisco Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Minera Aurea holds a 100% interest in the Ana Paula Property (“Ana Paula”), an exploration and evaluation asset in Guerrero, Mexico.
On May 25, 2018, Alio acquired all the outstanding common shares of Rye Patch Gold Corp. (“Rye Patch”) (note 3). Through the acquisition, Alio acquired additional subsidiaries: a 100% interest in Alio Gold (US) Inc., Rye Patch Gold US Inc., Rye Patch Mining US Inc., Florida Canyon Mining Inc. (“FCMI”), Standard Gold Mining Inc., and RP Dirt Inc. FCMI owns the Florida Canyon Mine in Nevada, US.
The Company is listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol ALO. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 507 - 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8.
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 August 8, 2019.
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, 2018 and 2017 (“annual consolidated financial statements”).
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, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") which superseded IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset. Control is considered to exist if the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and the right to direct the use of that asset. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on balance sheet accounting model that is similar to the finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets.
The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, in accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 16. This did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim financial statements with the exception of additional disclosures included in notes 7, 9 and 12 regarding assets, liabilities, and expenses recognized in the period in connection with leases.

ALIO GOLD INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019 and 2018
(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company analyzed its contracts to identify whether they are or contain a lease arrangement and did not identify any leases which qualify for recognition under IFRS 16, except office leases. The Company has elected to apply the available exemptions as permitted by IFRS 16 to recognize a lease expense on a straight-line basis for short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and low value leases. The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient whereby leases whose term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application would be accounted for in the same way as short-term leases.
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 statements 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:
Leases as a result of adopting IFRS 16
| i. | Identifying whether a contract includes a lease |
IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset. The Company had to apply judgment on certain factors, including whether the supplier has substantive substitution rights, does the Company obtain substantially all of the economic benefits and who has the right to direct the use of that asset.
| ii. | Estimate of lease term |
When the Company recognizes a lease, it assesses the lease term based on the conditions of the lease and determines whether it will extend the lease at the end of the lease contract, or exercise an early termination option. As it is not reasonably certain that the extension or early termination options will be exercised, the Company determined that the term of its leases are the lesser of original lease term or the life of the mine. This significant estimate could affect future results if the Company extends the lease or exercises an early termination option.
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries including Rye Patch from the date of acquisition (note 3). 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.
On May 25, 2018 (“Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Rye Patch exchanging 0.48 of the Company’s shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) and cash consideration of C$0.001 for each common share of Rye Patch. This resulted in 39,105,365 common shares of the Company being issued and C$81 ($63) cash being paid to the former shareholders of Rye Patch.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019 and 2018
(In thousands of United States dollars, except where noted) - Unaudited
In addition to the 39,105,365 common shares each Rye Patch share option and warrant, which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares of Rye Patch, was exchanged for a warrant and share option which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares in the Company on the same basis as the Exchange ratio (the “Replacement Warrants and Options”). The exercise price of the Replacement Warrants and Options was determined by dividing the exercise price of the Rye Patch warrants and share options by the Exchange Ratio.
The 9,508,540 Replacement Warrants and 1,511,800 Options issued have been included in the consideration paid at their fair value based on the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:
Replacement Warrants
| May 25, |
| 2018 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.9% |
Expected life of warrants | 0.2 - 3.2 years |
Annualized volatility | 25.9 - 45.7% |
Dividend rate | 0.0% |
The weighted average grant date fair value of the Alio warrants consideration granted upon acquisition, was C$0.21 ($0.16) per warrant.
Replacement Options
| May 25, |
| 2018 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.9 - 2.3% |
Expected life of options | 0.2 - 9.7 years |
Annualized volatility | 25.4 - 50.4% |
Forfeiture rate | 2.2% |
Dividend rate | 0.0% |
The weighted average grant date fair value of the Alio share options consideration granted upon acquisition, was C$0.48 ($0.37) per option.
The transaction has been accounted for by the Company as a business combination. The transaction qualified as a business combination under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, as the significant inputs, processes and outputs, that together constitute a business, currently exist. The primary business of Rye Patch is the Florida Canyon Mine, an operating gold mine, in Nevada, Unites States. Rye Patch was acquired to diversify the Company’s asset base.

15. | 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 June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, 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 reclamation bonds (note 8), share purchase warrants (note 11), and derivative asset/liability.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade payables, vendor loan and equipment loan approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

At June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, 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 share purchase warrants (note 11) and the derivative liability, which are a Level 2 fair value measurements.
Zero cost collars
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.
As at June 30, 2019, a total of 24,000 gold ounces are placed under these contracts with expiry dates through to December 27, 2019, with a weighted average floor price of $1,300 per gold ounce and a weighted average maximum sales price of $1,350 per gold ounce. The fair value of the derivative liability of $1,905 (December 31, 2018 - $nil) is based on the valuation of the outstanding gold option contracts using Level 2 inputs and valuation techniques.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 10,000 and 8,000 contracts were settled and expired, respectively, resulting in a realized loss of $285.
Subsequent to June 30, 2019, 4,000 ounces were settled resulting in a realized loss of $276. 20,000 ounces remain under open contracts.
Forward sales contracts
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, a total of 14,000 gold ounces were placed under forward contracts with a weighted average price of $1,307 per gold ounce. The contracts are treated as derivative financial instruments as they do not meet the own-use exemption under IFRS 9.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, nil and 14,000 ounces, respectively, were delivered into the contracts resulting in a realized loss of $nil and $115, respectively.
At June 30, 2019, there were no open contracts.
16. CONTINGENCIES
Peal Arbitration
During February 2019, Peal de Mexico, S.A. DE C.V. (“Peal”) gave notice of the termination of the mining services contract (“Peal Contract”) between Peal and Molimentales. Peal also entered in the arbitration process seeking to recover demobilization expenses and a termination penalty under the Peal Contract. The Company has properly accrued all expenses, including demobilization costs, based on the actual costs incurred. The Company has not accrued a termination penalty of $20,000 as it does not believe there is basis for the claim in the Peal Contract. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in the arbitration and no additional liability has been recognized in the interim financial statements.
Maverix Arbitration
During July 2019, the Company received formal notice from Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”), a 3.25% royalty holder of the Florida Canyon Mine, seeking arbitration to resolve disputed allowable deductions in the royalty calculations. The arbitration notice states that the dollar amount of the claim is still being calculated but the disputed amount based on past production is $1,000. The Company remains confident that the historical calculation of the royalty is correct. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests and the interests of its stakeholders. The Company has not accrued the disputed amount.

Notice of Civil Claim
On May 2, 2019, the Company received a Notice of Civil Claim from a former shareholder of Rye Patch whose shares were acquired by the Company (note 3). The plaintiff brought the claim pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act and is seeking damages against the Company and certain directors and officers for misrepresentations with respect to anticipated gold production during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company has reviewed the claim and currently has no reason to believe the claim has any merit. In the unlikely event the claim is successful, the Company is adequately insured for any reasonable outcome. Accordingly, no additional liability has been recognized in the interim financial statements.
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 three reportable operating segments, the San Francisco Mine and Ana Paula Project located in Mexico, and the Florida Canyon Mine located in the US. The Florida Canyon Mine was included as part of the Rye Patch acquisition (note 3) and is a significant operating asset of the Company which is monitored by the CODM.
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.
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 and Florida Canyon 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.
