12. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are classified and measured at amortized cost (cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred liabilities).

a) Fair value measurement

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred liabilities are considered reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.

b) Risk exposures and responses

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent financial instruments held by the Company are not denominated in US dollars.

At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Malaysian ringgit (RM), Australian dollar (AUD) and Canadian dollar (CAD):

December 31, 2020 June 30, 2020
$ $ $ $ $ $
(in 000’s,US dollar equivalent) AUD RM CAD AUD RM CAD
Financial instrument – assets
Cash and cash equivalents 1,637 336 121 145 592 235
Restricted cash - 321 2
- 302 2
Trade and other receivable 1,547 786 61 15 701 21
Financial instruments – liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 315 3,917 155 102 3,367 195
Lease liabilities - - 62
- - 78
Borrowings - - 47
- - 29

The Company has not hedged any of its foreign currency risks.

Based on the above net exposures as at December 31, 2020 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the RM against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.13 million (six months ended December 31, 2019: $0.02 million) in the Company’s net income, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the CAD against US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.01 million (six months ended December 31, 2019: increase/decrease $0.05 million) in net income and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the AUD against the US dollar would result in a decrease/increase of approximately $0.15 million (six months ended December 31, 2019: increase/decrease $0.01 million) in net income.

Price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company has not hedged any of its commodity price risks.

MONUMENT MINING LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020

(Unaudited – expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts or otherwise stated)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Generally, the Company’s interest income will be reduced during sustained periods of lower interest rates as higher yielding cash equivalents and short-term investments mature and the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates. The converse situation will have a positive impact on interest income.

To limit interest rate risk, the Company uses a restrictive investment policy. The fair value of the investments of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents is relatively unaffected by changes in short-term interest rates. The investments are generally held to maturity and changes in short-term interest rates do not have a material effect on the Company’s operations.

Credit risk

The Company’s credit risk on trade receivables is negligible.

The Company is exposed to concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents (Note 4). The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts at December 31, 2020. The amount of $4.51 million (June 30, 2020: $1.00 million) is held with a Malaysian financial institution, $1.64 million with an Australian financial institution (June 30, 2020: $0.15 million) and $8.30 million (June 30, 2020: $8.98 million) is held with Canadian financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through budgeting and forecasting cash flows to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its short-term requirements for operations, business development and other contractual obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and immediately available on demand for the Company’s use. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities as at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

14. Deferred Revenue

As of December 31, 2020, deferred revenue of $4.19 million (June 30, 2020: $4.54 million) represents the balance of gold delivery obligations of 3,133 ounces (June 30, 2020 3,837 ounces).

For the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2020, the milling capacity were reduced from time to time by running primary mill or secondary mill alone at Selinsing gold mine mainly caused by shortage of the ore. Mining production was interrupted from 8 weeks’ mining ban during March to May 2020; the temporary explosives shortage in Malaysia in quarter one of fiscal 2021 further reduced ore supplies to the mill. The costs of maintaining of the idle capacity of $0.03 million in quarter one and $0.15 million in quarter two were expensed against the operations account.

All options are potentially dilutive in the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 but excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share are those for which the average market prices below the exercise price.

Under the “Deed of Variation” to the "Heads of Agreement" executed on February 14, 2015, the terms of escrow period have been extended to January 16, 2022 and the Company agreed to release 7,000,000 million shares from escrow. The remaining 7,000,000 shares in escrow with Intec have been excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding because these shares are to be earned subject to the success of trial commercialization testwork and certain milestones. Unearned shares upon termination will be returned to treasury (Note 19).
