Name: | Anna M. Tudela | |||
Title: | Director, Legal and Assistant Corporate Secretary | |||
Date: July 27, 2006
1.1 | Name and Address of Company | ||
Goldcorp Inc. (the Company) Waterfront Centre, Suite 1560, 200 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3L6 |
|||

The following executive officer of the Company is knowledgeable about the significant acquisition and this report: | |||
Lindsay Hall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (604) 696-3000 |
2.1 | Nature of Business Acquired | ||
The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Placer Dome (CLA) Limited (CLA) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated May 12, 2006 (the Purchase Agreement) between the Company and Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick). The assets acquired by the Company from Barrick include CLAs former interests in the Campbell mine in Ontario (100%), the Porcupine (51%) and Musselwhite (68%) joint ventures in Ontario, a 50% interest in the La Coipa gold/silver mine in Chile and a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold development project in the Dominican Republic, together with interests in its Canadian exploration properties, including the Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia. | |||
2.2 | Date of Acquisition | ||
The effective date of the acquisition is May 12, 2006. | |||
2.3 | Consideration | ||
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Barrick approximately US$1.6 billion for the four CLA mines and other agreed interests. The Company used a portion of its current cash balances and existing credit facilities to fund the acquisition. The proceeds from the early |
exercise of the Companys outstanding warrants (approximately US$453 million) has been used to repay credit facilities drawn down to fund the acquisition. | |||
2.4 | Effect on Financial Position | ||
Other than as described below, the Company does not have any current plans for material changes in the Companys business affairs or the affairs of the acquired assets which may have a significant effect on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. | |||
Disposition | |||
On July 24, 2006, the Company sold certain of its recently acquired Canadian exploration interests to Terrane Metals Corp. (formerly Atlas Cromwell Ltd.) (Terrane) in exchange for preference shares convertible into 240 million common shares of Terrane at a notional price of C$0.50 per share for a total notional consideration of C$120 million. These assets include CLAs former interests in Mount Milligan, Berg, Maze Lake and Howards Pass. | |||
Impact of Acquisition | |||
To partially fund the purchase price for the acquisition of the CLA assets from Barrick, the Company incurred debt of approximately US$1.3 billion, approximately US$450 million of which has since been repaid out of the proceeds from the early exercise of the Companys outstanding warrants. | |||

1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Goldcorp Inc. (the Company or Goldcorp) as at March 31, 2006 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared by management of Goldcorp, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP), for illustrative purposes only, to show the effect of the agreement entered into with Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) that resulted in the purchase of certain operations and projects of Placer Dome Inc. (Placer Dome). As a result of the purchase, Goldcorp has acquired the Placer Dome Canadian operations, a 50% interest in the La Coipa mine and a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo project. Goldcorp paid approximately $1.61 billion in cash to Barrick for the purchase of these operations subject to final adjustments. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements assume that there will be no tax consequences to Goldcorp on the purchase of these operations from Barrick. In addition, these unaudited pro forma financial statements show the effect of the acquisition of Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. (Wheaton) that completed on February 14, 2005 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2005. These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled from, and include: |
(a) | A pro forma consolidated balance sheet combining the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Goldcorp as at March 31, 2006 and the unaudited combined balance sheet of the Placer Dome operations and projects as at March 31, 2006. | ||
(b) | A pro forma consolidated statement of operations combining the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Goldcorp for the three months ended March 31, 2006 with the unaudited combined statement of operations of the Placer Dome operations and projects for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. | ||
(c) | A pro forma consolidated statement of operations combining the audited consolidated statement of operations of Goldcorp for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the audited combined statement of operations of the Placer Dome operations and projects for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the unaudited operations of Wheaton for the period from January 1, 2005 to the date of acquisition of February 14, 2005. |
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2006 has been prepared as if the transactions described in Note 3 had occurred on March 31, 2006. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared as if the transactions described in Note 3 had occurred on January 1, 2005. |
It is managements opinion that these pro forma consolidated financial statements present in all material respects, the transactions described in Note 3, in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these statements are consistent with Goldcorps accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2005. The pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Goldcorp which would have actually resulted had the transactions been effected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the agreement will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement information. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the transaction have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial statement information. Further, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future. | ||
Certain elements of the Goldcorp, Placer Dome Operations and projects consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to provide a consistent format. | ||
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Goldcorp and Placer Dome. | ||
These pro forma financial statements have been reconciled to United States GAAP in Schedule I. |
The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement information are those set out in Goldcorps audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information a review was undertaken to identify Placer Dome accounting policy differences where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Further accounting policy differences may be identified after consummation of the proposed acquisition of Placer Dome. The significant accounting policies of Goldcorp conform in all material respects to those of Placer Dome. |
(a) | Agreement with Barrick | ||
On October 30, 2005, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Barrick to acquire certain assets and operations in the event that Barrick was successful in its offer to acquire all the outstanding shares of Placer Dome. On January 19, 2006 and February 3, 2006, Barrick acquired 80% and 14%, respectively, of the shares of Placer Dome. On March 15, 2006, Barrick acquired the remaining shares of Placer Dome pursuant to a compulsory acquisition under the Canadian Business Corporations Act. On May 12, 2006, Goldcorp purchased from Barrick certain of Placer Domes Canadian and other assets for cash of approximately $1.61 billion, subject to final adjustment. Goldcorp acquired Placer Domes interests in the Campbell, Porcupine, and Musselwhite gold mines in Ontario, and its 50% interest in the La Coipa gold/silver mine in Chile. Goldcorp also acquired a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo development project in the Dominican Republic, together with Placer Domes interests in its Canadian exploration properties, including Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia. | |||
This business combination will be accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and the Placer Dome operations as the acquire. The results of operations of the acquired assets will be included in the consolidated financial statements of Goldcorp from May 12, 2006. Goldcorp is currently undergoing an exercise to value the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including any goodwill that arose in the acquisition. The actual amounts recorded on the acquisition will differ from the amounts recorded in this unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement information. | |||
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information assumes the cost of acquisition will include the purchase price of $1.61 billion plus transaction costs of $15 million, equalling a total purchase price of $1.625 billion. |
(a) | Agreement with Barrick (continued) | ||
Goldcorp has not yet determined the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the amount of the purchase price that may be allocated to goodwill, or the complete impact of applying purchase accounting on the income statement. Therefore, after reflecting the pro forma purchase adjustments identified to date, the excess of the purchase consideration over the adjusted book values of Placer Domes assets and liabilities has been presented as unallocated purchase price. Goldcorp is currently undergoing a process whereby the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as well as any goodwill arising upon the acquisition will be determined. On completion of valuations, with a corresponding adjustment to the historic carrying amounts of mining interests, or on recording of any finite life intangible assets on acquisition, these adjustments will impact the measurement of amortization recorded in the consolidated income statements of Goldcorp for periods after the date of acquisition. Goldcorp estimates that a $100 million adjustment to the carrying amount of mining interests of Placer Dome would result in a corresponding adjustment to amortization expense in the pro forma consolidated statement of earnings by approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $6.25 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. No pro forma adjustments have been reflected for any changes in future tax assets or liabilities that would result from recording Placer Domes identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value as the process of estimating the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities is not complete. |

(b) | Acquisition of Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. | ||
On December 6, 2004, Goldcorp and Wheaton issued a joint press release announcing a proposed transaction which provided for Goldcorp to make a take-over bid for Wheaton on the basis of one Goldcorp share for every four Wheaton shares. On December 29, 2004, Goldcorp mailed the Goldcorp Take-over Bid Circular to the Wheaton shareholders. | |||
On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced a special $0.50 per share cash dividend would be payable to existing Goldcorp shareholders should shareholders approve by majority Goldcorps take-over bid for Wheaton and Wheaton shareholders tender the minimum two-thirds bid requirement. The payment of a special dividend resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorps outstanding warrants an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant. | |||
On February 10, 2005, at the special meeting of shareholders, approximately 65% of Goldcorp shareholders who voted were in favour of approval of the issuance of additional Goldcorp common shares to effect the acquisition of Wheaton. As of February 14, 2005, approximately 70% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares (403,165,952 shares) were tendered to Goldcorps offer. This satisfied the minimum two-thirds bid requirement under the terms of the offer to acquire Wheaton. On the same day, Goldcorp extended the offer expiry date to February 28, 2005 to give remaining Wheaton shareholders more time to tender their shares. With conditions met, the special $0.50 per share dividend, totaling approximately $95 million, payable to Goldcorp shareholders of record on February 16, 2005, was paid on February 28, 2005. | |||
As of March 10, 2005, Goldcorp held approximately 82% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares. Goldcorp and a subsidiary entered into a series of transactions with Wheaton that resulted in Goldcorp owning 100% of Wheaton common shares on April 15, 2005. Further, the series of transactions resulted in each Wheaton warrant or stock option, which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Wheaton, being exchanged for a warrant or stock option of Goldcorp which gives the holder the right to acquire common shares of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Wheaton common shares for Goldcorp common shares. The Wheaton options and warrants have been included as part of the purchase price consideration. | |||
This business combination has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Wheaton as the acquiree. |

The fair value of the Goldcorp shares issued is based on the deemed issuance of 143.8 million Goldcorp common shares at $13.13 being the average share price of Goldcorp two days before, the day of, and two days after February 8, 2005, the day when the special $0.50 dividend was announced in connection with the offer to acquire Wheaton, adjusted for the special $0.50 dividend. |
4. | PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS | |
Pro forma adjustments to consolidated balance sheet | ||
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the following adjustments as if the transaction with Barrick had occurred on December 31, 2005: |
(a) | The fair value allocation is in progress and is not yet complete. Currently, the excess of the purchase consideration over the adjusted book values of Placer Domes assets and liabilities of $1.42 billion has been presented as unallocated purchase price. A reduction in Placer Dome assets acquisition costs of $252.2 million to reflect the $250 million pre-payment made in January 2006 and the $2.2 million in acquisition costs already incurred. An increase in accounts payable by $12.8 million to record estimated transaction costs relating to the acquisition of Placer Dome operations. A decrease in cash of $60 million to reflect the cash component required to finance the balance of $1.61 billion purchase price in conjunction with the financing of $1.3 billion in long-term debt. | ||
(b) | To record the issuance of 54,446,000 common shares upon the exercise of 166,623,000 warrants for gross proceeds of $456.5 million and warrant issue costs of $4.5 million pursuant to the short form base shelf prospectus filed by the Company on May 5, 2006. Net proceeds have been used to reduce debt. |
Pro forma adjustments to consolidated statements of earnings | ||
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings reflect the following adjustments as if the acquisition of certain Placer Dome operations and the acquisition of Wheaton had occurred on January 1, 2005: |
(c) | An increase in interest expense of $10.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and $42.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect the interest expense on the long-term debt of $1.3 billion less $451.5 million of net cash proceeds received on the exercise of warrants. | ||
(d) | To reverse the non-controlling interest share of income arising from Goldcorp owning 82% of Wheaton between February 15, 2005 and April 15, 2005. | ||
(e) | To record adjustments to depletion expense resulting from adjustments to asset carrying values in the purchase allocations relating to Wheaton assets. | ||
(f) | To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at 40%. |
5. | PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE | |
Since the purchase agreement with Barrick is a cash transaction, there is no impact to the calculation of the weighted average number of Goldcorp shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the additional shares of the Wheaton effective January 1, 2005. | ||

6. | RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES | |
Significant differences between Canadian and US GAAP, as they affect the pro forma financial statements, are as follows and are reflected on Schedule I: |
(a) | Under Canadian GAAP, the Companies accounted for their joint venture interests in Alumbrera and La Coipa on a proportionate consolidated basis. Under US GAAP, the Companies are required to equity account for their investments in Alumbrera and La Coipa and record in operations their proportionate share of Alumbrera and La Coipa net earnings in accordance with US GAAP. | ||
In addition, on January 1, 2006, La Coipa prospectively adopted the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB Issue 04-6 that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. The cumulative effect of the change in policy on Placer Operations share of La Coipa earnings was a decrease of $18,286,000 decreasing the equity in La Coipa earnings from $9,408,000 to ($8,878,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. | |||
La Coipa is the only Goldcorp Operation that incurs deferred stripping costs under Canadian GAAP. |
6. | RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued) |
(b) | Under US GAAP (FAS 115), investments in securities would be classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at fair value. The unrealized holding gains at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 on available-for-sale securities are not recognized under Canadian accounting principles, but are recognized under United States accounting principles as a component of comprehensive income and reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders equity until realized. The amounts recorded in comprehensive income are shown net of tax expense (recovery) of $0.6 million for March 31, 2006 and $(0.6 million) for December 31, 2005. | ||
(c) | In 2003, certain changes to income tax legislation affecting mining companies became law; however, the enabling regulations which quantify the deduction for mining taxes paid permitted by this change in legislation (which is considered to substantively enacted for Canadian GAAP purposes) had not yet received the required approval to be considered enacted for US GAAP purposes. Consequently for US GAAP purposes the three months ended March 31, 2006 and year ended December 31, 2005 results have been restated to remove the benefit accrued for the deduction for income tax purposes of actual provincial and other Crown royalties and mining taxes paid as at March 31, 2006. The benefits of this change in legislation will be recognized for US GAAP purposes when the approval for the amendments to the regulations has been given. The net effect of the restatement is to increase the tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by an amount of $0.6 million and the year ended December 31, 2005 by an amount of $2.3 million. | ||
(d) | Effective January 1, 2005, Placer Dome operations changed its accounting policy with respect to termination obligations, whereby the liability accrued will represent the obligation to date for all employees at mine sites. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. This differs from the prior practice, which involved accruing for the estimated termination costs through annual charges to earnings over the estimated life of the mine. The effect of the change in policy on the combined statement of earnings in 2005 was $3.3 million. |

1. | Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Goldcorp Inc. (Goldcorp) has entered into a bid support and purchase agreement (the Agreement) with Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) dated October 30, 2005. This agreement was entered into in conjunction with a bid by Barrick on October 31, 2005 for the common shares of Placer Dome Inc. (Placer Dome). Pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement Goldcorp has agreed to acquire all of Placer Domes Canadian properties and operations (the Goldcorp Transaction), including all historic mining, reclamation and exploration properties, Placer Domes interest in the La Coipa mine in Chile, and 40% of Placer Domes interest in the Pueblo Viejo project in the Dominican Republic. Goldcorp has also agreed to be responsible for all liabilities relating solely to these assets, including employment commitments and environmental, closure and reclamation liabilities. The assets noted are held either directly or indirectly by Placer Dome (CLA) Limited (PDCLA) which after certain re-structuring will be sold to Goldcorp. The Goldcorp Transaction will be effected following Barricks acquisition of 100% of the Placer Dome common shares. On February 3, 2006, Barrick owned approximately 94% of Placer Dome and is proceeding with compulsory acquisition to acquire the remaining outstanding shares. Negotiations between Barrick and Goldcorp are ongoing to more specifically identify all the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed by Goldcorp. | ||
The financial statements for Operations to be acquired by Goldcorp set out the actual assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Placer Domes businesses that are to be acquired by Goldcorp pursuant to the Agreement described above as at and for the periods shown. These include the Campbell Mine, the proportionate share of the Musselwhite (68%), Porcupine (51%) and La Coipa (50%) joint ventures, a 40% proportionate interest in the Pueblo Viejo development property, and various Canadian properties which are no longer producing gold but which are incurring reclamation expenditures. In addition to these items, the costs related to Canadian exploration and certain administrative personnel in Placer Domes Toronto office have been included. These operations have been managed by Placer Dome throughout the reported periods. | ||
Operations to be Acquired by Goldcorp Inc. (collectively, Placer operations) are engaged in gold mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation. Gold which is produced in Canada and Chile is the primary product and is sold to the world market. Placer operations also produce and sell quantities of silver. | ||
Placer operations cash flow and profitability is dependent primarily on the quantity of metals produced, metal prices, operating costs, environmental costs, and discretionary expenditure levels including exploration, technology, resource development and general and administrative. Since Placer operations operate internationally, exposure also arises from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political risks and varying levels of taxation. | ||
The U.S. dollar is the principal currency of measure of all the Placer operations. The Placer operations combined financial statements are prepared in United States (U.S.) dollars and in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Significant differences in the combined financial statements of net earnings between the U.S. and Canadian GAAP are described in note 14 to these financial statements. |
2. | Business Segments | |
All of the Placer operations are within the mining sector. Due to geographic and political diversity, Placer operations are decentralized whereby Mine General Managers are responsible for achieving specified business results within a framework of global policies and standards. Country corporate offices provide support infrastructure to the mines in addressing local and country issues including financial, human resource and exploration support. Major products are gold and silver produced from mines located in Canada and Chile. |

4. | Income and Resource Taxes | |
These financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that certain mining assets held by PDCLA will be purchased by Goldcorp. Prior to this sale other PDCLA assets that are not being purchased must be transferred out. As some of the legal issues associated with these transfers have not been fully resolved to date and the value of the assets being transferred have not been finalized, the Canadian tax pools that Goldcorp will receive upon the purchase of PDCLA can not be determined with certainty. The combined financial statements have been prepared including current and future income taxes of foreign affiliates of PDCLA that Goldcorp will be purchasing. The tax provisions with respect to the Canadian mining operations only reflect cash taxes payable as future income tax liabilities are offset and reduce to nil due to the recognition of unrecorded tax assets and for December 31, 2005, the establishment of a valuation allowance for future income tax assets. Significant tax deductions for income tax purposes exist within PDCLA. After the restructuring of PDCLA in preparation for its sale these tax deductions will still be significant but can not be predicted with absolute certainty at this time. As at December 31, 2005 and prior to any restructuring PDCLA tax deductions included: |
Non-capital losses

10. | Capital leases | |
(a) | The Placer operations are obligated under capital leases for mobile mining equipment until 2008. The capital lease agreement provides that the Placer operations can purchase the leased equipment at fair value at the end of the lease term. At December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, $258, $302 and $269 respectively, of leased property was included in plant and equipment, net of $152, $109 and $141, respectively, of accumulated depreciation and depletion. | |
Anticipated capital lease repayments are as follows: |

The average effective interest rate of the leases is approximately 7.72%. | ||
11. | Commitments and Contingencies | |
(a) | Although the ultimate amount of reclamation to be incurred for existing and past mining interests is uncertain, the future value of these costs is estimated to be $112 million as at December 31, 2005. This future value includes a discounted liability of $32 million for Equity Silver, which represents the costs of the perpetuity water treatment, and undiscounted costs of $80 million for the other sites. The aggregate accrued obligation as at September 30, 2005, representing the fair value of the Placer operations share of future reclamation costs, included with Reclamation and post closure obligations credits and other liabilities and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (note 8), was $56 million (2004 $51 million). Charges to earnings of $7 million and $8 million for the nine months ended September 30 2005, and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, have been recorded. |
Regulatory authorities in certain jurisdictions require that security be provided to cover the estimated reclamation obligations. At December 31, 2005, Placer operations have letters of credits of CAD$23.6 million (US$20.2 million) and CAD$50.3 million (US$43.1 million) for Equity Silver mine and the other Canadian mines and properties, respectively. There is a review of the adequacy of the letter of credit held as security for the Equity Silver mine every 5 years. While this review commenced in 2005, it had not yet been finalized. Based on initial estimates however the letter of credit is expected to increase. | ||
Although the ultimate amount of termination benefits obligations to be incurred for existing and past mining interests is uncertain, Placer operations share of contractual termination benefits is estimated to be $31 million as at December 31, 2005, and has accrued through charges to earnings of $2 million, $3 million, and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The aggregate accrued obligation as at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, included with Reclamation and post closure obligations credits and other liabilities and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (note 8), was $24 million, $25 million, $21 million. | ||
(b) | The Agreement provides for the purchase of the shares of PDCLA which directly owns the Canadian operating mines as well as other assets. PDCLA is currently awaiting a Supreme Court of Canada ruling pertaining to an Ontario mining tax case. The Ontario Ministry of Finance has reassessed PDCLA for taxes and related interest owing, for the 1995 to 2001 tax years, amounting to Canadian $77 million. Funds sufficient to discharge the obligation have been deposited with the Ontario Ministry of Finance. A further estimated Canadian $5 million of taxes and interest may be required should PDCLA lose the case. As well tax deductions with an estimated undiscounted tax effected value of Canadian $21 million would be utilized reducing Ontario mining taxes during the years in question to minimize the cash tax payable. The Agreement provides for a purchase price increase for 87 percent of the funds received from the Ontario government should PDCLA prevail at the Supreme Court. It is not known when the Supreme Court will make its ruling. | |
(c) | During the second quarter of 2005, the Chilean Congress passed a tax bill enacting a maximum 5% tax on mine operating profits, effective January 1, 2006. Compania Minera Mantos de Oro (MDO), the operator of La Coipa mine, has opted out of its DL600 tax stability clause and has established an invariable tax rate of 4% for a period of 12 years. The final administrative application details related to the new mining tax have yet to be issued. Aside from knowing that tax rates will increase the exact impact of the change cannot be determined at this time. | |
(d) | The Placer operations are subject to various investigations, claims and legal and tax proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavourably to the Placer operations. The Placer operations have established accruals for matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Placer operations. | |

(i) | The investment in MDO (50%) is in the form of an incorporated joint ventures. MDO is equity accounted for under the U.S. basis. Under the Canadian basis this joint venture is proportionately consolidated. |
(ii) | Effective January 1, 2005, Placer operations changed its accounting policy with respect to termination obligations, whereby the liability accrued will represent the obligation to date for all employees at mine sites. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. This differs from the prior practice, which involved accruing for the estimated termination costs through annual charges to earnings over the estimated life of the mine. Under the U.S. basis, the cumulative effect of the change in policy on the balance sheet at January 1, 2005 was to increase Deferred credits and other liabilities by $5.7 million with a one time after-tax charge to net earnings of $3.8 million. Under the Canadian basis the new policy was applied retroactively with restatement of 2004 comparative figures and an impact to the net earnings in 2004 of nil. Under the US basis, the liability at December 2004 was reduced by $5.7 million to reflect that it had not yet been adopted. |
(iii) | Under the Canadian basis, the Placer operations have prospectively early adopted CICA 3870 Stock Based Compensation , which requires fair value accounting for all stock options issued during the year. Under the U.S. basis, in accordance with SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock- based Compensation (SFAS 123), Placer operations apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in the accounting for employee stock option plans, and follow the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123. For stock options granted to employees and directors, no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price is equal to the market price of Placer Domes common stock on the date of grant. For Canadian dollar denominated stock options granted to non-Canadian employees, variable accounting is applied. For stock options granted to personnel at joint ventures, deferred compensation charges based on the fair value of the options granted are expensed over the vesting period. |

1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS | |
Goldcorp Inc. (Goldcorp) has entered into a bid support and purchase agreement (the Agreement) with Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) dated October 30, 2005. This Agreement was entered into in conjunction with a bid by Barrick on October 31, 2005 for the common shares of Placer Dome Inc. (Placer Dome). Pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, Goldcorp has agreed to acquire all of Placer Domes Canadian properties and operations (the Goldcorp Transaction), including all historic mining, reclamation and exploration properties, Placer Domes interest in the La Coipa mine in Chile, and 40% of Placer Domes interest in the Pueblo Viejo project in the Dominican Republic. Goldcorp has also agreed to be responsible for all liabilities relating solely to these assets, including employment commitments and environmental, closure and reclamation liabilities. The assets noted are held either directly or indirectly by Placer Dome (CLA) Limited (PDCLA) which, after certain restructuring, were sold to Goldcorp on May 12, 2006. | ||
Operations to be Acquired by Goldcorp Inc. (collectively, Placer operations) are engaged in gold mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation. Gold which is produced in Canada and Chile is the primary product and is sold on the world market. Placer operations also produce and sell quantities of silver. | ||
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
These unaudited interim combined financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). The preparation of financial data is based on accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual combined financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Placer operations audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, as they do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements. These policies are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in all material respects except as outlined in Note 14. | ||
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2006, and for all periods presented, have been made. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
(a) | Basis of presentation and principles of combination | ||
The financial statements for Operations to be acquired by Goldcorp set out the actual assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Placer Domes businesses that are to be acquired by Goldcorp pursuant to the Agreement described in Note 1 and for the periods shown. These include the Campbell Mine, the proportionate share of the Musselwhite (68%), Porcupine (51%) and La Coipa (50%) joint ventures, a 40% proportionate interest in the Pueblo Viejo development property, and various Canadian properties which are no longer producing gold but which are incurring reclamation expenditures. In addition to these items, the costs related to Canadian exploration and certain administrative personnel in Placer Domes Toronto office have been included. These operations have been managed by Placer Dome throughout the reported periods. | |||
(b) | Comparative amounts | ||
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation. |
3. | BUSINESS SEGMENTS | |
All of the Placer operations are within the mining sector. Due to geographic and political diversity, Placer operations are decentralized whereby mine general managers are responsible for achieving specified business results within a framework of global policies and standards. Country corporate offices provide support infrastructure to the mines in addressing local and country issues including financial, human resource and exploration support. Major products are gold and silver produced from mines located in Canada and Chile. |

4. | INCOME AND RESOURCE TAXES | |
On May 12, 2006 Goldcorp purchased PDCLA, a Canadian corporation, and a number of subsidiaries. For Canadian income tax purposes the acquisition of control of a corporation has several income tax implications, some of which are based on valuation of assets on the date of acquisition of control. Goldcorp is in the process of determining the allocation of the total purchase price to individual assets. Goldcorp also is in the process of reorganizing the acquired corporations and assets to optimize its taxes. As a result of these uncertainties Goldcorp cannot determine with certainty the PDCLA tax pools that it will ultimately result from the reorganization. The combined financial statements have been prepared including current and future income taxes of foreign affiliates of PDCLA that Goldcorp has acquired on May 12, 2006. The tax provisions with respect to the Canadian mining operations only reflect the cash taxes payable as future income tax liabilities are offset and reduce to $Nil due to recognition of unrecorded tax assets and income tax liabilities are offset and reduce to $Nil due to the establishment of a valuation allowance for future income tax assets. Significant deductions for income tax purposes exist within PDCLA. After the impact of the acquisition of control and reorganization the tax deductions will still be significant but cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. As at December 31, 2005 and prior to any restructuring, PDCLA tax deductions (in Canadian dollars) included: |
Non-capital losses |
$348 million | |||
Undepreciated capital cost |
221 million | |||

Carrying values of non-U.S. dollar monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each period end to reflect the U.S. exchange rate prevailing at that date. The foreign exchange (losses) gains resulted from the revaluation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each period end. | ||
11. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
(a) | Although the ultimate amount of reclamation to be incurred for existing and past mining interests is uncertain, the future value of these costs is estimated to be $112 million as at March 31, 2006. This future value includes a discounted liability of $32 million for Equity Silver, which represents the costs of the perpetuity water treatment, and undiscounted costs of $80 million for the other sites. The aggregate accrued obligation as at March 31, 2006, representing the fair value of the Placer operations share of future reclamation costs, included with reclamation and post closure obligations credits and other liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (Note 8), was $69 million (December 2005 $56 million). Charges to loss of $ 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31 2006 (2005 $1.5 million) have been recorded. | ||
Regulatory authorities in certain jurisdictions require that security be provided to cover the estimated reclamation obligations. At March 31, 2006, Placer operations have letters of credit of Cdn$57.2 million (US$49.0 million) and Cdn$23.6 million (US$20.2 million) for the Equity Silver mine and the other Canadian mines and properties, respectively. There is a review of the adequacy of the letter of credit held as security for the Equity Silver mine every five years. While this review commenced in 2005, it had not yet been finalized. Based on initial estimates however the letter of credit is expected to increase. |
11. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) |
(a) | (continued) | ||
Although the ultimate amount of termination benefits obligations to be incurred for existing and past mining interests is uncertain, Placer operations share of contractual termination benefits is estimated to be $31 million as at March 31, 2006, and has accrued through charges to earnings of $1 million and $ 2 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The aggregate accrued obligation as at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 included in other post closure obligations and liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (Note 8), was $25 million and $25 million, respectively. | |||
(b) | During the second quarter of 2005, the Chilean Congress passed a tax bill enacting a maximum 5% tax on mine operating profits, effective January 1, 2006. Compania Minera Mantos de Oro (MDO), the operator of La Coipa mine, has opted out of its DL600 tax stability clause and has established an invariable tax rate of 4% for a period of 12 years. The final administrative application details related to the new mining tax have yet to be issued. Aside from knowing that tax rates will increase the exact impact of the change cannot be determined at this time. | ||
(c) | The Placer operations are subject to various investigations, claims and legal and tax proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavourably to the Placer operations. The Placer operations have established accruals for matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of amounts provided will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Placer operations. |
12. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
(a) | Stock- based compensation | ||
Employees of the Placer Operations have been granted stock options in Placer Dome Inc.; charges to cost of sales of $1,816,000 have been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2006 (2005 $153,000) . | |||
(b) | SAP costs allocation | ||
The implementation of a SAP enterprise resource planning system was completed at Campbell Mine during 2005. All of the licensing and system development costs have been incurred by Placer Dome. Management fees of $411,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 (2005 $Nil) have been included in these combined financial statements, representing Campbells portion of the global licensing and development costs. | |||
(c) | Management fees | ||
Management fees of $517,000 and $469,000 were paid by Placer operations to Placer Dome for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |

(i) | The investment in La Coipa (50%) is in the form of an incorporated joint venture. La Coipa is equity accounted for under the U.S. basis. Under the Canadian basis this joint venture is proportionately consolidated. | ||
In addition, on January 1, 2006, La Coipa prospectively adopted the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB Issue 04-6 that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. The cumulative effect of the change in policy on Placer Operations share of La Coipa earnings was a decrease of $18,286,000 decreasing the equity in La Coipa earnings from $9,408,000 to ($8,878,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. | |||
La Coipa is the only Placer Operation that incurs deferred stripping costs under Canadian GAAP. |
14. | DIFFERENCES IN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES (Continued) |
(ii) | Effective January 1, 2005, Placer operations changed its accounting policy with respect to termination obligations, whereby the liability accrued will represent the obligation to date for all employees at mine sites. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. This differs from the prior practice, which involved accruing for the estimated termination costs through annual charges to earnings over the estimated life of the mine. Under the U.S. basis, the cumulative effect of the change in policy on the balance sheet at January 1, 2005 was to increase deferred credits and other liabilities by $5.7 million with a one-time after-tax charge to net earnings of $3.3 million. |
15. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT | |
In May of 2006 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on an Ontario mining tax issue that had been in dispute with the Minister of Finance of Ontario since 2000 when Placer Dome Canada Limited was reassessed for its 1995 and 1996 taxation years. The court concluded that gold hedging profits earned by Placer Dome Canada Limited and its later successor by amalgamation, PDCLA, were included in mining profits subject to Ontario mining tax. The Ontario Ministry of Finance had previously reassessed PDCLA for taxes and interest owing, for the 1995 to 2001 taxation years, amounting to Cdn$77 million ($65.9 million). Funds had already been deposited with the Ontario Ministry of Finance by Placer Dome Inc. to discharge the obligation for the years reassessed; these funds have been attributed to PDCLA by Placer Dome Inc. A further estimated Cdn$6 million ($5.1 million) of taxes and interest are due for hedging profits earned from 2002 through March of 2006. Since PDCLAs successful appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal, PDCLA had been accruing interest on the funds deposited with the Ontario Ministry of Finance and therefore must now reverse interest income accrued of Cdn$8.3 million ($7.1 million). | ||
As the Supreme Court loss is a subsequent event that provides additional information relating to a contingency that existed at March 31, 2006, the $78.3 million negative impact to earnings (consisting of $48.6 million in income tax expense and $27.6 million in interest expense) of this loss has been reflected in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
