Foraco International S.A. Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020
Selected notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated. Because all the disclosures required by IFRS are not included, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Foraco International S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Foraco” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Except when otherwise stated, all amounts are presented in thousands of US$, which is the presentation currency of the Company.
2. Selected notes on critical accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements
2.1. Accounting policies
The accounting policies have been consistently applied with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 except for the following: during the year, the income tax expense is recognized based on Management’s best estimate of the average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year on a tax jurisdiction by tax jurisdiction basis. In the last quarter of each fiscal year, Management determines the effective income tax rate for the full year based on the anticipated actual tax returns to be filed and the effective contribution of each tax jurisdiction to the consolidated financial statements.
2.2. Seasonal fluctuations
The worldwide presence of the Company reduces its overall exposure to seasonality and its influence on business activity, the first quarter being the weakest. In West Africa, most of the Company’s operations are suspended between July and October due to the rainy season. In Canada, seasonal slow periods occur during the winter freeze and spring thaw or break-up periods. Depending on the latitude, this can occur anytime from October until late December (freezing) and from mid-April through to mid-June (break-up). Operations at mining sites continue throughout the year. Russia is also affected by the winter period during which operations are suspended. In Asia Pacific and in South America, where the Company operates exclusively in the Mining segment, a seasonal slowdown in activity occurs around year-end during the vacation period. Certain contracts are also affected in Chile in July and August when the winter season peaks.

2.3. Going concern
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the world in the first half of 2020. For Foraco, the first priority was to ensure the health and well-being of its employees, customers and business partners. During the quarter, the Company managed to keep its operations running at a reasonable level. The pandemic affected revenue in certain important operations centers, particularly in North and South America but the Company recorded solid activities in other areas and managed to limit the negative impact of the pandemic on its costs structure thanks to satisfactory control of operations, flexibility of its organization and the support from certain clients and governments.
As at June 30, 2020, the Company met its financial covenants. Despite the current economic environment, and assuming that the health crisis does not deteriorate further, , the Company believes that it will have adequate financial resources to continue in operation for a period of at least twelve months.
2.4.Impairment testing
As at December 31, 2019, the Company conducted impairment testing for goodwill at the level of each geographic region using the expected discounted cash flows method. Based on the internal forecasts and projections made, the expected discounted future cash flows generally exceeded, and sometimes significantly, the goodwill carrying amounts. As at March 31, 2020, given the uncertainties regarding the business impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic the Company reperformed an impairment testing for the regions which presented a lower headroom. No impairment charge was required. Based on the current financial performance, the information available including customers’ feedback and the Company’s backlog, there is no triggering event for conducting impairment tests as at June 30, 2020.
2.5.Deferred tax valuation allowance
The Company’s policy is to recognize deferred tax assets only when they can be recovered within a reasonable timeframe. As a general rule, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets only when they can be used against taxable profit generally within five years or when available tax opportunities exist. On this basis, the Company has adopted a partial recognition based approach and has recorded certain valuation allowances. During the period, the Company did not recognize or use any deferred tax asset.
2.6. New accounting pronouncements
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that were adopted by the Company during the period
-
Amendments to IFRS 3
-
Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8
-
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)
The application of the other standards and amendments has not had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Foraco International S.A. Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet mandatory effective and have not been early adopted by the Company
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, but have not been early adopted by the Group:
- Annual improvement 2018 – 2020
The application of the new amendments is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its activity, including: liquidity risk, currency risk, cash transfer restriction, interest rate / re-investment risk, financial counter-party risk and credit risk.
A significant portion of the cash flows of the Company are denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Real, Chilean Pesos, Russian Rubbles and US Dollars. The financial performance and position as reported in US$ are dependent on the fluctuations of the US$ against the other mentioned currencies of the Group.
4. Segment information
The long-standing presence of the Company in the water segment enabled it to develop unique applications for the mining sector. These applications which require the use of certain specific assets and which now represent a growing part of the Company’s revenue led the chief operating decision makers to assess the performance of these activities separately from the mining sector. These activities which include the mining dewatering are now classified in the water segment. The historical figures presented in the table above have been restated to present comparative data in a homogeneous manner.
The business segment information for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is as follows:

The following is a summary of sales to external customers by geographic area for the threemonth periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:
| Three-monthperiod ended June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 |

|
| Net sales 47,351 54,093 |
During the second quarter 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the exchange rates between currencies. The evolution of sales by region presented above is largely driven by the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company mitigates its net exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by balancing its costs, revenues and financing in local currencies, resulting in a natural hedge.
The following is a summary of sales to external customers by geographic area for the sixmonth periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:
