NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2019 AND 2018 |
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company"), incorporated in Canada, is a precious metals royalty and streaming company, who engages in the acquisition and management of precious metal royalties, streams, and similar production- based interests. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MTA”. The head office and principal address is 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. | |
The Company has incurred a cumulative deficit to date of $32,899,494 as at August 31, 2019 (May 31, 2019 - $31,285,237) and has had losses from operations for multiple years. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable earnings in the future, receive continued financial support, and/or complete external financing. Management expects that its cash balance and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for fiscal 2020. | |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparation and measurement | |
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019. | |
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019, except for those noted below. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. | |
Accounting standards adopted during the period | |
Adoption of IFRS 16 | |
The Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) on June 1, 2019, in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, applying the modified retrospective approach. | |
At the inception of a contract, the new leasing standard requires the lessee to assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits during the term of the arrangement and has the right to direct the use of the asset. If a lease is identified, the new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, and all leases that have a term of at least 12 months and are not of a low value will be recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position. |

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d…) |
Accounting standards adopted during the period(cont’d…) | |
Adoption of IFRS 16(cont’d…) | |
The Company has completed its assessment of the new standard. The process included a review of all lease and service contracts, to determine if we have the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Based on the Company’s analysis, the only contract to which the Company will apply the new standard relates to the lease for the use of the Company’s office premise. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $26,029. The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability on adoption. | |
New accounting policy for leases under IFRS 16 | |
At inception of a contract, an assessment is made as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date of a lease, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The lease obligation is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments. | |
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period if there is an indication the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is not recoverable. | |
Adoption of IFRIC 23 | |
The Company adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) on June 1, 2019, with retrospective application in accordance with the standard. IFRIC 23 clarifies the recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not result in any adjustments to the Company’s financial results or disclosures. | |

Alamos acquisitions
In April 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a portfolio of eighteen net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties and options to acquire NSR royalties from Alamos Gold Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Alamos”) for total consideration of US$8,240,000 payable in common shares of the Company. As at May 31, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition and issued 8,219,009 common shares (valued at $1.16 per share on April 16, 2019). The Company incurred $426,171 of acquisition costs. The aggregate purchase price of $9,960,221 was allocated to each component based on its proportionate fair value within the portfolio of assets acquired.
In June 2019, the Company issued 10,299 common shares (valued at $1.08 per share on June 20, 2019) for a 2.0% NSR royalty on the Biricu project.
In August 2019, the Company and Alamos amended the purchase and sale agreement to remove one NSR royalty and include the purchase of the Orion NSR royalty for common shares of the Company.
Fifteen Mile Stream acquisition
In August 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 3.0% NSR royalty on the western of half of the Plenty Zone and Seloam Brook prospect of St. Barbara Ltd.’s Fifteen Mile Stream (“FMS”) project for $2,000,000; $500,000 of which was paid on signing of the agreement and $1,500,000 which is conditional upon the achievement of certain milestones. This acquisition increased the Company’s position at the FMS project.
Tower Mountain project
In August 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Tower Mountain project for $150,000 (offset against preproduction royalty payable to the original owner) and a 2.0% NSR royalty interest on the property was retained for the benefit of the Company.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds 15% interest in Silverback Ltd. (“Silverback”), who 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 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, 2019 and 2018 of Silverback is as follow:

Financial assets | |||||||

Cash | $ | 7,211,357 | $ | 4,603,062 | |||

$ | 4,864,696 | $ | 3,925,957 |
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:
a) | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
b) | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and | |
c) | 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. As at August 31, 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at 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. Receivable from provisional sales (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 loan payable is approximated by its carrying value as its interest rates are comparable to market interest rates.

12. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(cont’d…) |
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, 2019 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 significantly 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. | |
Currency risk | |
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company primarily operates in Canada and Australia and incurs expenditures in currencies other than the 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, 2019, 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 $20,000 in the Company’s pre-tax income or loss. | |
13. | COMMITMENTS |
The Company may be required to make payments in cash and/or common shares related to its royalty interests (Note 4), including milestone payments subject to certain triggers being met related to the IEPI royalty portfolio acquisition (please refer to the Company’s past audited consolidated financial statements on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). |
