The MCTO imposed restrictions on trading in the corporation's securities by its chief executive officer, Robert Wunder, and its chief financial officer, David Lurie. On July 31, 2014, the company filed is audited financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, the unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and MD&A for the corresponding periods. On Aug. 6, 2014, the MCTO expired.

Under the loan agreement, the company is required to file the audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of year-end and the condensed interim consolidated financial statements within 60 days of quarter-end. As a result, the company obtained a waiver from DB, which extended the delivery date of filing the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, to July 31, 2014, and the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, to Aug. 31, 2014.

Restatement

The company has reassessed the accounting for its derivative financial instruments, relating to the copper collar swap derivative, and copper call option derivative and derivative asset. The company had previously not recorded the fair value of these derivative financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The company also had previously not recorded the fair value of the derivative asset for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013. As a result, the company's consolidated statement of financial position, and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss), did not reflect the appropriate fair value liability and gains (losses) for the related periods. This has been corrected retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, resulting in the adjustment of prior-year financial information.

On Sept. 30, 2013, the company reassessed the timeline to repay the principal and cash interest to Gerald Metals. As of Dec. 31, 2012, management had estimated that the repayment would occur on June 30, 2014, however, after reviewing the company's estimated future monthly cash flows, it has determined that the repayment of principal debt and cash interest will occur on May 31, 2016, one month after the DB loan is repaid, at which point the Gerald Metals debt is no longer subordinated to the DB loan. As a result, the company's consolidated statement of financial position, and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss), did not reflect the appropriate Gerald Metals loan liability and gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013. This has been corrected retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, resulting in the adjustment of prior-year financial information.

The company had incorrectly capitalized certain expenditures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result, the company's consolidated statement of financial position, and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss), did not reflect the appropriate carrying values and gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. This has been corrected retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, resulting in the adjustment of prior-year financial information.

On declaring commercial production on July 1, 2013, the company had incorrectly capitalized certain expenditures during the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013, and adjusted the inventory recovery rates from 78 per cent to 75 per cent as at June 30, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2013, which resulted in restatement of accounting for inventory accounts. As a result, the company's consolidated statement of financial position, and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss), did not reflect the appropriate carrying values and gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013. This has been corrected retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, resulting in the adjustment of prior-year financial information.
