UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

On March 14, 2016, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (“Paramount” or the “Company”) and Calico Resources Corp. (“Calico”) entered into a definitive arrangement agreement dated as of (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which Paramount will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calico (the “Transaction”) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”).  Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Paramount will acquire each common share of Calico from Calico’s shareholders in exchange for 0.07 of a share of Paramount common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of Paramount and Calico, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on July 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Paramount and Calico, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2016. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements; (ii) the historical financial statements of Paramount and the accompanying notes in Paramount’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015; (iii) the historical financial statements of Calico and the accompanying notes in Calico’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 ; and (iv) additional information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2016.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. Since the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded at the date of the acquisition may differ materially from the information presented. These estimates are subject to change pending further review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not intend to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

Note -1 Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on Paramount’s and Calico’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Calico.  The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and year ended June 30, 2015 give effect to the Calico acquisition as if it occurred on July 1, 2014.  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 gives effect to the Calico acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2016.

 

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled

 

a)

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines Paramount’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 and Calico’s balance sheet of March 31, 2016.

 

b)

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015 combines Paramount’s statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015 and Calico’s statement of operation for the year ended June 30, 2015.

 

c)

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 combines Paramount’s statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and Calico’s statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition, the total expected costs to integrate the operations of Paramount and Calico, or the total expected costs necessary to achieve such cost savings and operating synergies.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of Calico to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. These reclassifications have no impact on the historical operating loss, total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity reported by Paramount or Calico. Upon consummation of the acquisition, further review of Calico’s financial statements may result in additional revisions to Calico’s classifications to conform to Paramount’s presentation.

 

Calico presents its financial statements in its functional currency of the Canadian Dollar.  Paramount presents its financial statements in its functional currency of the U.S. Dollar.  The historical financial statements of Calico, from which the unaudited consolidated combined pro forma financial statements have been derived, have been translated from the Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar utilizing exchange rates follows:

 

Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2016

0.7710

Note 2 – Accounting Policies

 

Upon consummation of the Agreement, Paramount will continue the review of Calico’s accounting policies.  As a result of that review, Paramount may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements.  At this time, Paramount is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements, except as follows.

 

Calico’s prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).  Under IFRS, acquisition and exploration expenditures on mineral properties, less recoveries in the pre-production stage, are deferred until such time as the properties are put into commercial production, sold, or become impaired.  On the commencement of commercial production, the deferred costs are charged to operations on the unit-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves.  General exploration expenditures are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition costs are capitalized, but exploration costs are not considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment and, accordingly, are expensed prior to the company determining that economically proven and probable mineral reserves exist, after which all such costs are capitalized.

 

Set out below are the material adjustments to Calico’s mineral properties and deficit as at March 31, 2016, and to operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended June 30, 2015 in order to conform to U.S. GAAP:

Note 3 – Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

The acquisition of Calico by Paramount has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805.  Further, under the acquisition method, the purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.

 

The estimated consideration is approximately $8.7 million based on Paramount’s closing share price of $1.21 on March 11, 2016. The value of the merger consideration will fluctuate based upon changes in the share price of Paramount’s common stock and the number of Calico’s common shares outstanding on the closing date.

$1.21

Total preliminary purchase price

 

$8,677,163

 

 

 

The purchase price will be computed using the value of Paramount common stock on the closing date, therefore the actual purchase price will fluctuate with the market price of Paramount common stock until the Transaction is closed.  As a result, the final purchase price could differ significantly from the current estimate, which could materially impact the pro forma financial statements.

 

The following table provides sensitivities to changes in purchase price due to changes in the per share price of Paramount common stock:

Note 4 – Pro forma adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change.  The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information:

 

 

a.

To adjust mineral property exploration costs that were capitalized under IFRS, but would have been expensed under U.S. GAAP (see Note 2). The effect of this adjustment at March 31, 2016 is to reduce the carrying value of mineral property interest by $7,942,712 and increase deficit by $7,942,712. The effect of this adjustment for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 is to increase exploration expense by $1,330,028.  The effect of this adjustment for the year ended June 30, 2015 is to increase exploration expense by $2,416,944.

 

 

b.

To record the issuance of: (a) 7,171,209 common shares of Paramount with par value of $0.01 in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calico pursuant to the Agreement; recorded at fair value of $8,677,163 (see Note 3), and to eliminate the common stock, contributed surplus and deficit of Calico prior to acquisition.

 

 

c.

Represents the elimination of non-recurring transaction costs incurred during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016 of $700,523 that are directly related to the acquisition of Calico.

 

 

d.

In connection with the acquisition of Calico, Paramount expects to incur approximately $800,000 of cash expenses related to a loan to Calico to finance Calico’s operating activities.  As at March 31, 2016, $300,000 of this loan has been advanced and this adjustment represents the elimination of the amount owing upon completion of the acquisition of Calico.

 

 

e.

Pro forma loss per share, basic and diluted, includes the addition of 7,171,209 shares of common stock which will be issued in conjunction with the closing of the Agreement (Note 3).  The following adjustments represent the changes to basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
