HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Company Overview
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (formerly known as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MUDS”)) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “it”, “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company that is focused on exploring and developing its wholly owned Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company’s operating plan until November 2021 was primarily focused on developing the novel two-stage heap oxidation and leach process (“Novel Process”) detailed in the Hycroft Technical Report Summary (“TRS”), Heap Leaching Feasibility Study, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants (“Modernization Rules”), with an effective date of July 31, 2019 (“2019 Hycroft TRS”). Subsequent to November 2021, the Company’s operating plan has been focused on advancing evaluations and developing technical studies for milling sulfide ore through a well-established and proven pressure oxidation process (“POX”). Additionally, as announced on November 10, 2021, as a result of the then current and expected ongoing cost pressures for many of the reagents and consumables used at the Hycroft Mine, and the timeline for completing the updated technical studies in early 2022, the Company discontinued pre-commercial scale mining at its run-of-mine (“ROM”) operation. The Company will continue producing gold and silver from the drain down solutions as long as it is economic which is currently expected to continue through the end of 2022. In February 2022, Hycroft, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary for the Hycroft Mine (“2022 Hycroft TRS”) which included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a POX process for sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide and transition mineralization. The Company will continue to build on the work to date and investigate opportunities identified through progressing the technical and data analyses leading up to the 2022 Hycroft TRS and will provide an updated technical report at an appropriate time.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed an equity private placement and an at-the-market public offering program (“ATM Program”) that raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million before issuance costs. The Company plans to use a portion of the proceeds from these equity offerings to conduct additional exploration that will focus on the higher-grade opportunities identified during 2021 exploration drilling and a systematic approach to develop a better understanding of the Hycroft Mine deposit, including potential feeder systems.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those audited consolidated financial statements with updates discussed below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had available unrestricted cash on hand of $153.4 million and net working capital of $155.2 million which is expected to provide it with the necessary liquidity to fund its operating and investing requirements and future obligations as they become due within the next twelve months from the date of this filing.
HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
While the Company has continued to process gold and silver ore on the leach pads and in the drain down solutions to partially offset the cash that is projected to be used in its operations and investing activities, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund its business. As discussed in Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity, the Company raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million in March 2022 through the following equity financings:
•On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and 2176423 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.
•On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an ATM pursuant to which the Company registered the offer and sale from time to time of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million of gross proceeds. Under the ATM Program, which was completed on March 25, 2022, the Company sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock for gross proceeds, before commissions and offering expenses, of $138.6 million.
Also, as discussed in Note 10 - Debt, Net, as a result of the equity financings above, the Company reached an agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (the “Lender”) with respect to the Credit Agreement among Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, as borrower, Autar Gold Corporation, MUDS, MUDS Holdco Inc., Allied VGH LLC, Hycroft Resources and Development, LLC, Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector) Inc., and Sprott Resources Lending Corp. (“Sprott Credit Agreement”), which required the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million following the Company’s receipt of the $55.9 million cash proceeds discussed above. The Company also made an additional prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022.
In addition to the above equity financings, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital necessary to fund the future exploration and development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.
Historically, the Company has been dependent on various forms of debt and equity financing to fund its business. While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plans.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to: recoverable gold and silver ounces on leach pads and in-process inventories; timing of near-term ounce production and related sales; the useful lives of long-lived assets; estimates of mineral resources; estimates of life-of-mine production timing, volumes, costs and prices; future mining and current and future processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; deferred taxes and related valuation allowances; estimates of the fair value of liability classified warrants, and estimates of fair value for asset impairments and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these condensed consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.
Cash and cash equivalents
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company invested in the AAAm rated US Government Money Market Funds that are readily convertible to cash and, as such, the Company has included them in Cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021, cash consisted of cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash balances and believes that no significant risk of loss exists with respect to its cash.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies guidance on accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity including calculating diluted earnings per share. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that will clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (i) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (ii) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s surface management surety bonds totaled $58.7 million and $59.3 million, respectively, of which $58.3 million secured the financial assurance requirements for the Hycroft Mine. The remaining portion related to the securitization of the financial assurance requirements for the adjacent water supply well field and exploration project. The financial assurance requirement for the adjacent water supply well field was reduced to $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2022. This reduction was achieved by canceling a $1.0 million surety bond and replacing it with a $0.4 million increase to an existing surety bond. The $1.0 million surety bond was collateralized with $0.6 million cash which, upon cancellation, was returned to the Company. The $0.4 million increase to the existing surety bond was achieved without additional cash collateral. Also in the second quarter of 2022, the Company began receiving interest on its cash collateral for certain surety bonds. Interest received on cash collateral balances is restricted as to its use and is included as an increase to Restricted cash with a corresponding increase to Interest income when earned.

On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second A&R Agreement”), which: (i) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (ii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement Offering with AMC and 2176423 Ontario Limited (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (iii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Facility in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (iv) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds
HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations: (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales will be credited/offset by the aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments ($23.9 million); and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. The Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest of $0.5 million; (ii) made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and (iii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022. The Company accounted for the Second A&R Agreement as a debt modification as the Second A&R Agreement did not result in debt that was substantially different.
Amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Amendment”), with: (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors; (ii) holders of the 10% Senior Secured Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), including certain funds affiliated with, or managed by, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P, Whitebox Advisors, LLC, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, and Aristeia Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”); and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also removed the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note. The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of a private placement upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses). The Company accounted for the Note Amendment as a debt modification as the Note Amendment did not result in debt that was substantially different. The Company incurred a $1.8 million liability management fee attributable to the completion of the Note Amendment. As the Note Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification, the $1.8 million paid to a third-party was charged to General and administrative. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

Warrant Liabilities
5-Year Private Warrants
The 5-Year Private Warrants cannot be redeemed and can be exercised on a cashless basis if the 5-Year Private Warrants are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the 5-Year Private Warrants are transferred to someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (an "Unrelated Third Party"), such warrants become redeemable by the Company under substantially the same terms as the 5-Year Public Warrants. Since the original issue of private warrants, transfers to an Unrelated Third Party totaled 836,371, including 75,201 and 394,863 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and therefore became classified as 5-Year Public Warrants.
Seller Warrants
