TRX Gold Corporation
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
| 1. | Nature of operations |
TRX Gold Corporation (“TRX Gold” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the Province of Alberta on July 5, 1990 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration, development and production of mineral property interests in the United Republic of Tanzania (“Tanzania”).
The Company’s registered office is 400 3rd Avenue SW, Suite 3700, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2, Canada and the Company’s principal place of business is 277 Lakeshore Road E, Suite 403, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 6J3, Canada.
The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada (TSX: TRX) and NYSE American in the United States of America (NYSE American: TRX).
The Company is primarily focused on development and mining operations, exploring, and evaluating its mineral properties. The business of exploring and mining for minerals involves a high degree of risk. The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral resources and reserves, the ability to raise long-term financing to complete the development of the properties, government policies and regulations, and upon future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; all of which are uncertain.
|
2. |
Basis of preparation |
a) |
Statement of compliance |
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 10, 2024.
| b) | Basis of presentation and measurement |
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value as disclosed in Note 17. All amounts in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars with all amounts rounded to the nearest thousand, except for share and per share data, or as otherwise noted. Reference herein of $ or USD is to U.S. dollars and C$ or CAD is to Canadian dollars.
|
3. |
Material accounting policies, judgements and estimates |
The accounting policies, judgements and estimates applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out in Notes 3 and 4 of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023, except as described below:
TRX Gold Corporation
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2)
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements, requiring that an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. The IASB has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the ‘four-step materiality process’ described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.
The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 were adopted on September 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors. The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error and effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors.
The amendments to IAS 8 were adopted on September 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments to IAS 12 narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions which give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is to recognize a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition for certain transactions, including leases and reclamation provisions.
The amendments to IAS 12 were adopted on September 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

| (1) | Sales tax receivables consist of harmonized services tax and value added tax (“VAT”) due from Canadian and Tanzanian tax authorities, respectively. Tanzanian tax regulations allow for VAT receivable to be refunded or set-off against other taxes due to the Tanzania Revenue Authority (“TRA”). The Company has historically experienced delays in receiving payment or confirmation of offset against other taxes. The Company is in communication with the TRA and there is an expectation for either cash payments or offsetting of VAT receivable against other taxes in the future. VAT which the Company does not expect to recover within the next 12 months has been classified as long-term assets. |
The Company held no collateral for any receivables. During the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, $nil (February 28, 2023 – $0.2million) of VAT was written-off. During the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recovered VAT refunds from the TRA of $1.3million and $2.6million, respectively (February 28, 2023 – $nil and $nil, respectively).

| 10. | Income tax |
Income tax expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The maximum amount of tax losses that a business can utilize in Tanzania is 70% of its taxable profit for the current year. The remaining 30% of taxable profit is subject to a statutory tax rate of 30%. As a result, Buckreef’s current income tax is calculated at an effective tax rate of 9% until Buckreef’s tax loss carryforwards are fully utilized. Tax losses in Tanzania can only be utilized by the entity to which the tax losses relate to.
The carrying value of Buckreef’s Mineral Property, Plant and Equipment is higher than their tax written down values due to historical mining incentives in Tanzania and accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. The taxable temporary difference between the carrying value of Mineral Property, Plant and Equipment and its tax basis in excess of available tax loss carryforwards resulted in a deferred tax liability.
For the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9million, comprised of current income tax expense of $0.1million and deferred income tax expense of $0.8million (February 28, 2023 – $1.2million income tax expense comprised of current income tax expense of $0.2million and deferred income tax expense of $1.0million). For the six months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.1million, comprised of current income tax expense of $0.4million and deferred income tax expense of $1.7million (February 28, 2023 – $2.7million income tax expense comprised of current income tax expense of $0.5million and deferred income tax expense of $2.2million).

For the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The Company classifies its financial instruments carried at fair value according to a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. The three levels of fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs, are as follows:
| · | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| · | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and |
| · | Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. |
As at February 29, 2024 and August 31, 2023, cash was classified as Level 1, gold zero-cost collars were classified as Level 2 (Note 9), and derivative warrant liabilities (Note 9) were classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.
