Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (“pro forma financial statements”) have been prepared by Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (“Moneta”) and gives effect to the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Northern Gold Mining Inc. (“Northern Gold Mining”) (the “Transaction”). These unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The pro forma financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial position that will exist following the Transaction. Actual amounts recorded when the Transaction closed will likely differ from those recorded in the pro forma financial statements. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the Transaction have been excluded from the pro forma financial statements.
Moneta determined that Northern Gold Mining did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As the acquisition of Northern Gold Mining did not qualify as a business acquisition, Moneta accounted for the Transaction as an asset acquisition, measured under IFRS 2, Share‐based Payments. Refer to Note 2.
The pro forma financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and have been compiled from and include:
-
The statement of financial position and loss and comprehensive loss as at December 31, 2020, obtained from the audited financial statements of Moneta for the year ended December 31, 2020.
-
The statement of financial position and loss and comprehensive loss as at December 31, 2020, obtained from the audited financial statements of Northern Gold Mining for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The pro forma financial statements do not contain all the information required for annual financial statements. Accordingly, it should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial statements of both Moneta and Northern Gold Mining. Based on the review of the accounting policies of Northern Gold Mining, it is Moneta management’s opinion that there are no material accounting differences between the accounting policies of the Moneta and Northern Gold Mining.
The pro forma adjustments and allocations of the purchase price of Northern Gold Mining by Moneta as an asset acquisition are based on the fair value of the common shares of Moneta. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial position of Moneta which would have actually resulted had the proposed Transaction been effected on the date indicated. The actual pro forma adjustments will depend on a number of factors and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared as if the transaction had occurred as of December 31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated loss and comprehensive loss has been prepared, giving effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2020.

2. Acquisition of Northern Gold Mining Inc.
On January 13, 2021, Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. entered into a Definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with O3 Mining Inc. ("O3 Mining"), the parent of Northern Mining (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Moneta issued 149,507,273 common shares to O3 Mining in exchange for all the issued and outstanding common shares of Northern Gold Mining.
The acquisition of the Northern Gold Mining shares has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as, at the time of the Transaction; Northern Gold Mining did not meet the definition of a business. The consideration paid has been allocated to the exploration and evaluation assets as at the date of acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation of estimated consideration transferred is subject to change and is summarized as follows:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Acquisitionprice ‐ 149,507,273 common shares at$0.33per share | 49,337,400 |
| Fair value of Northern Gold Mining's net assets acquired | |
| Sales tax recoverable | 101,000 |
| Reclamation deposit | 161,000 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 105,000 |
| Exploration and evaluation assets | 50,519,400 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (260,000) |
| Asset retirement obligation | (598,000) |
| Deferred tax liability | (691,000) |
| 49,337,400 |
The pro forma adjustments and allocations of the estimated consideration transferred are based in part on estimates of the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. The final determination of the consideration transferred and the related allocation of the fair value of Northern Gold Mining’s net assets to be acquired pursuant to the Transaction is ultimately to be determined after the closing of the transaction. It is likely that the final determination of the consideration transferred and the related allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will vary from the amounts present in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and that those differences may be material.
3. Pro forma assumptions and adjustments
These pro forma financial statements incorporate the following pro forma assumptions:
-
