NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on February 20, 2015 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency, and “C$” to Canadian currency.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company received $675 in net proceeds from a common stock issuance. Newmont used the proceeds, supplemented with cash from the Company’s balance sheet, to fund the acquisition of the Cripple Creek & Victor gold mining business (“CC&V”) in Colorado from AngloGold Ashanti Limited, which was completed on August 3, 2015, for a purchase consideration of $821, plus a 2.5% net smelter return royalty from potential future underground ore which has no fair value at September 30, 2015. Refer to Note 13 for further information.

 

On March 12, 2013, Newmont completed the sale of the Hope Bay Project to TMAC Resources Inc. (“TMAC”). On July 7, 2015, TMAC completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), issuing 22,500,000 common shares at a price of C$6.00 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$135. Additionally, TMAC entered into a term loan facility for $120. At September 30, 2015, Newmont held a 29.38% ownership interest in TMAC. Prior to the financing events, Newmont identified TMAC as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance for consolidation, determined it was the primary beneficiary, and consolidated TMAC in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon further evaluation subsequent to the financing events, Newmont determined that TMAC is no longer considered a VIE, and no longer will be consolidated into Newmont’s financial results. Newmont deconsolidated the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest related to TMAC and recognized a gain of $76, recorded within Other income, net. The fair value of the retained investment was valued utilizing the market approach applying the IPO share price. Newmont’s retained investment in TMAC, which was $104 at September 30, 2015, will be accounted for as an equity method investment reflected in Note 16.

 

On July 24, 2015, Newmont completed the sale of its 60.64% ownership interest in European Gold Refinery Holdings (“EGR”) for total cash proceeds of $119. The gain of $53 was recorded in Other income, net.  

 

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation and were not material to the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

As a global mining company, our revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold, copper and, to a lesser extent, silver. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that we can economically produce. The carrying value of our property, plant and mine development assets, inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads, and

deferred tax assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in our long term price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

 

In September 2014, PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) and the Government of Indonesia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) that resulted in PTNNT receiving a six-month permit to export copper concentrate from the Batu Hijau mine (“Batu Hijau”) that expired in mid-March 2015. On March 30, 2015, PTNNT received a six-month permit extension to export copper concentrate that expired in late September 2015. A permit renewal application was submitted in August 2015 and renewal remains pending. Supplemental information regarding domestic smelting development progress via MoU with PT Freeport Indonesia was finalized and submitted in September 2015. All required information has been submitted to the Government of Indonesia. Effective with the signing of the MoU, PTNNT agreed to pay certain export duties and royalties. The MoU also outlines terms for the six main elements of the Contract of Work renegotiation, which will be incorporated into an amendment of the Contract of Work. The six areas are: concession area size; royalties, taxes and export duties; domestic processing and refining; ownership divestment; utilization of local manpower, domestic goods and services; and duration of the Contract of Work. Negotiations between PTNNT and the Government of Indonesia to amend the Contract of Work remain on-going. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and the renewal of the export permit. The failure to receive a timely renewal may negatively impact future operations and financial results at Batu Hijau. As a result of the on-going Contract of Work renegotiations at Batu Hijau, the need for asset impairments, inventory write-downs, tax valuation allowances and other applicable accounting charges will continue to be evaluated. At this time, the Company expects operations to continue into the future. The total assets at Batu Hijau as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $3,462 and $3,107, respectively.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Business combinations

 

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Services Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) guidance related to accounting for measurement-period adjustments in a business combination. This update simplifies the measurement-period adjustments by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, and not retrospectively. This update also requires the separate presentation on the face of the statement of income, or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively as of September 30, 2015. As applicable, adoption of the new guidance will impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock-based performance awards for which the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Inventory

 

In July 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to inventory simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Employee benefit plan accounting

 

In July 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans, and health and welfare benefit plans. This update designates contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, simplifies and makes more effective the investment disclosure requirements for employee benefit plans, and provides a simplified method for determining the measurement date for employee benefit plans. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Debt issuance costs

 

In April 2015, and further amended in August 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to debt issuance costs. This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Consolidations

 

In February 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to consolidations. This update makes some targeted changes to current consolidation guidance and impacts both the voting and the variable interest consolidation models. In particular, the update will change how companies determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are variable interest entities. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We currently consolidate certain variable interest entities and we do not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
