(FORMERLY AMAX GOLD INC.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of Kinam Gold Inc. ("the Company") include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved in future periods. The financial information as of this interim date should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. On June 1, 1998, the Company completed a merger agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") providing for a combination of their businesses. Kinross currently owns 100% of the Company's outstanding common stock. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following (in millions): September 30, December 31, 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold: Finished Goods $ 16.0 $ 18.9 Work-in-process 2.6 2.8 Materials and supplies 30.1 30.8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 48.7 $ 52.5 ================================================================================ 3. LONG-TERM DEBT During the first nine months of 1999, Refugio entered into capital leases totaling $3.7 million for the acquisition of the mobile fleet and the new tertiary crusher. Debt repayments relating to the Kubaka Mine totalled $7.1 million during the first nine months of 1999. These payments were made from cash flow provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 1999. Schedule capital lease payments at Refugio and Ft. Knox were also made from cash flow provided by operating activities. 4. HEDGE CONTRACTS Forward sales contracts, generally on a spot deferred basis, and call option contracts options are entered into from time to time to protect the Company from the effect of price changes on precious metals sales. As of September 30, 1999 the Company has no outstanding hedge contracts. 5 6 During July 1998, the Company liquidated its hedge position and received approximately $45.9 million in cash. In connection with the transaction the Company recognized a gain of $41.7 million, net of costs previously incurred. The gain is being included in revenue over the period the underlying hedge contracts were originally scheduled to expire. 6 7 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Reclamation, site restoration and closure costs are accrued on a units-of-production basis using estimates based upon current federal, state and applicable foreign laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. Any changes in these laws and regulations could impact future estimated reclamation costs. Total reclamation costs for the Company at the end of current operating mine lives are estimated to be approximately $50 million. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the Company's results of operation, including gold production, production costs, ounces of gold sold and average realized prices, for the periods indicated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Kinam Gold Inc. reported a third quarter 1999 net loss attributable to common shares of $8.9 million, or $.10 per share, on revenue of $45.8 million, compared with 1998 third quarter income attributable to common shares of $4.1 million, or $.04 per share, on revenue of $54.2 million. Operating loss of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 1999 compared with operating income of $7.3 million for the 1998 third quarter. Lower gold sales coupled with significantly lower realized prices, partially offset by lower depreciation rates, contributed to the operating income decrease. For the first nine months of 1999 the Company had a loss attributable to common shares of $18.3 million, or $.20 per share, on revenue of $157.4 million, compared with a loss attributable to common shares of $21.5 million, or $.20 per share on revenue of $191.4 million for the first nine months of 1998. The Company had a nine month operating loss of $3.6 million compared with income of $9.8 million for the same period of 1998. Kinam Gold's average realized price in the third quarter and first nine months of 1999 was $274 per ounce and $285 per ounce, respectively, compared with $312 per ounce and $323 per ounce, respectively, for the comparable 1998 periods due to the closing of the Company's hedge position in 1998 coupled with lower spot prices. The average spot price for the third quarter 1999 of $259 per ounce was $15 per ounce lower than the $274 per ounce realized due to the amortization of the gain realized when the hedge position was closed in 1998. The Company's third quarter 1999 gold production increased to 178,700 ounces compared with 167,769 ounces in the 1998 third quarter. The 53% owned Kubaka mine reported production of 57,234 ounces for Kinam Gold's account during the third quarter of 1999 compared with 60,335 ounces in the third quarter of 1998 when Kinam's ownership was 50%. Production at the Kubaka mine continues to exceed expectations due to higher mill feed grades and higher mill throughput . Fort Knox's production of 95,974 ounces in the third quarter of 1999 compared with 81,866 ounces in the same period of 1998. Management believes the recent acquisition of the True North property in Alaska will provide higher grade ore and allow Ft. Knox to increase production once permitting activities have been completed. At Refugio, the Company's 50% share of quarterly production was 17,193 ounces in the third quarter of 1999, compared with 13,132 ounces for the 1998 third quarter. Mining was completed at both Hayden Hill and Guanaco during 1997, which resulted in the decrease in production at each mine. The Company anticipates that production at Hayden Hill and Guanaco will continue to decline during 1999 as residual leaching continues. The Company's third quarter 1999 cost of sales increased to $32.4 million, compared with $29.3 million in the third quarter of 1998. Consolidated total cash costs decreased to $182 per ounce for the third quarter of 1999, compared with $204 per ounce in the third quarter of 1998. Fort Knox's cash costs of $188 per ounce for the 1999 third quarter compared with $205 per ounce in the third quarter of 1998 primarily due to higher production levels associated with higher grades. As a result of higher mill throughput, Kubaka's third quarter 1999 cash costs of $134 per ounce were lower than 1998 third quarter cash costs of $155 per ounce. Refugio's cash costs improved to $322 per ounce for the third quarter of 1999, compared with $431 per ounce in the third quarter in 1998. The Company commenced self-mining and also became operator of the Refugio mine during the third quarter of 1999. In addition to purchasing the mobile fleet further capital expenditures to complete the replacement of the tertiary crusher will occur during 1999. The company believes that substantially lower production costs will be seen in the foreseeable future. Hayden Hill and Guanaco third quarter 1999 cash costs were $181 per ounce and $218 per ounce, respectively, compared with cash costs of $100 per ounce and $317 per ounce, respectively for the third quarter of 1998. Consolidated nine month cash costs of $183 per ounce in 1999 compared with $187 per ounce in 1998. 8 9 In the third quarter of 1999 depreciation and depletion decreased to $17.2 million from $17.5 million in the third quarter for 1998 due primarily to lower depreciation rates due to the 1998 write downs, partially offset by increased sales. General and administrative income increased $0.6 million to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 1999. The $0.2 million decrease in exploration expense to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 1999 resulted from decreased exploration activity in order to conserve cash due to continued low gold prices. Interest expense increased to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 1999, compared with $1.8 million for the 1998 third quarter. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Kinam Gold's cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 1999 increased to $46.7 million, compared with $41.8 million for the comparable 1998 period due to lower interest payments, lower cash costs at Kubaka and Refugio, partially offset by lower realized gold prices and lower sales. Capital spending of $12.7 million for the first nine months of 1999 compared with $12.0 million spent during the first nine months of 1998. Approximately $6.0 million was spent at Refugio during the first nine months of 1999 to purchase the mobile fleet and replace the tertiary crusher. Due to low gold prices, the Company continues to only spend capital on sustaining projects. Fort Knox capital of $5.9 million included mobile equipment, pit dewatering and development of the True North projects. Additionally $0.8 million was spent at Kubaka. No additional funds were borrowed under the demand loan facility during the third quarter of 1999. Scheduled debt payments were made with cash flow provided by operating activities. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 review and impact analysis of the Company's operating facilities is proceeding according to the plan that was disclosed in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10K. The Fort Knox, Refugio and Kubaka mines have completed the review, analysis and remediation work to their process control systems and these systems are now considered Year 2000 compliant. Remediation of business information systems and ancillary application packages has successfully been completed at the Fort Knox and Kubaka mines. Remediation at the Refugio Project is 90% complete with a planned completion date of December 1, 1999. No issues have been identified with the Company's critical vendors. Year 2000 contingency planning is currently taking place at each of the Company's project sites and the Company's plans will be updated as circumstances change throughout the remainder of the year. The supply of electrical power to various sites still remains a concern despite information from various electrical utilities that they are Year 2000 compliant. Contingency plans will take this into consideration and the Company is presently engaged in efforts to determine the best method to maintain operations utilizing standby power generators. Total project spending estimates for the Company's Year 2000 project remain in line with previous estimates. No serious issues have been identified by the assessments, and it is the Company's belief that there will not be 9 10 any serious operational problems caused by the advent of the Year 2000 and that the Company has taken the necessary steps to resolve any Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience unforeseen operational or information system failures or that any one or more such failures would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Actual outcomes and results could be affected by future factors including, but not limited to, the availability of skilled personnel, the Company's ability to locate software problems, the response of critical suppliers and subcontractors and the ability and willingness of customers and suppliers to take timely action in response to Year 2000 issues. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding expected dates for gold sales, reserve additions, projected quantities of future gold production, estimated reserves and recovery rates, anticipated production rates, costs and expenditures, prices realized by the Company and expected to be realized, expected future cash flows, anticipated financing needs, growth plans and sources of financing and repayment alternatives timing and results of the pending business combinations and anticipated effects of the advent of the Year 2000. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, among others: risks and uncertainties relating to general domestic and international economic and political conditions, the cyclical and volatile price of gold, the political and economic risks associated with foreign operations, cost overruns, unanticipated ground and water conditions, unanticipated grade and geological problems, metallurgical and other processing problems, availability of materials and equipment, the timing of receipt of necessary governmental permits and approvals, the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions, force majeure events, lower than expected ore grades, the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, labor relations, accidents, environmental risks, the results of financing efforts and financial market conditions and other Risk Factors on pages 11 to 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for a more detailed discussion of risks. Many of such factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 1. Commodity Price Risks The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale of gold production. The Company's net income can vary significantly with fluctuations in the market prices of gold. At various times, in response to market conditions, the Company has entered into gold forward sales contracts for some portion of expected future production to mitigate the risk of adverse price fluctuations. The significant decline in spot gold prices in 1998 increased the value of the Company's forward sales contracts. The Company closed out these contracts in 1998 for $45.9 million in cash. Based on the Company's projected 1999 sales volume, each $10 per ounce change in the average realized price on gold sales would have an approximate $7.1 million impact on revenues and pre-tax earnings. 2. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk The Company conducts the majority of its operations in the U.S., Russia, and Chile. Currency fluctuations affect the cash flow that the Company realizes from its operations as gold is sold in U.S. dollars, while production costs are incurred in Russian rubles and U.S. 10 11 dollars. The Company's results are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar weakens against these foreign currencies. The Company's cash and equivalent balances are held in U.S. dollars. Holdings denominated in other currencies are relatively insignificant. In the last half of 1998, the Russian ruble weakened against the U.S. dollar and the Company benefited primarily through lower Russian labour and material costs. In Russia, the temporal method is used to consolidate the financial results. The major currency-related exposure at any balance sheet date is on ruble-denominated cash balances and working capital. Because the Company's bullion inventory is denominated in U.S. dollars, there are no related foreign exchange risks. The Company believes its foreign exchange exposure on the balance of the Company's working capital items is nominal. Gold sales during 1998 were denominated 50% in U.S. dollars and 50% in rubles. The dollars received were used to service the U.S. dollar denominated debt and the foreign supplies inventory purchases, while the rubles received from the gold sales were used to pay local operating costs. The Company has and will continue to convert any excess rubles into U.S. dollars to repay U.S. denominated third party and inter-corporate debt obligations. Assuming estimated 1999 ruble payments of 350 million rubles at an exchange rate of 20 rubles to one U.S. dollar, each 2 rubles change to the U.S. dollar could result in an approximate $1.0 million change in the Company's pre-tax earnings. In Chile, the currency measurement is the U.S. dollar as the majority of transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Local expenditures are recorded based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time and bullion settlement receivables are denominated in U.S. dollars. The vast majority of expenditures are denominated in U.S. dollars resulting in little peso-related exposure. Interest Rate Risks The Company has interest rate swaps to fix interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The costs associated with these contracts are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the agreements. As at September 30, 1999, the Company carried $124.8 million of variable rate debt, all denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest expense would change by approximately $1.0 million for every one percent change in interest rates. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes these claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
