1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Denison Mines Corp. (“DMC”) and its subsidiary companies and joint arrangements (collectively, “Denison” or the “Company”) are engaged in uranium mining related activities, which can include acquisition, exploration and development of uranium bearing properties, extraction, processing and selling of uranium.
 
As at September 30, 2018, the Company has a 63.30% interest in the Wheeler River Joint Venture (“WRJV”) (see note 11 and 26), a 22.50% interest in the McClean Lake Joint Venture (“MLJV”) (which includes the McClean Lake mill) and a 25.17% interest in the Midwest Joint Venture (“MWJV”), each of which are located in the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The McClean Lake mill provides toll milling services to the Cigar Lake Joint Venture (“CLJV”) under the terms of a toll milling agreement between the parties (see note 12). In addition, the Company has varying ownership interests in a number of other development and exploration projects located in Canada.
 
The Company provides mine decommissioning and decommissioned site monitoring services to third parties through its Denison Environmental Services (“DES”) division and is also the manager of Uranium Participation Corporation (“UPC”), a publicly-listed investment holding company formed to invest substantially all of its assets in uranium oxide concentrates (“U3O8”) and uranium hexafluoride (“UF6”). The Company has no ownership interest in UPC but receives fees for management services and commissions from the purchase and sale of U3O8 and UF6 by UPC.
 
DMC is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered head office is 40 University Avenue, Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 1T1.
 
 
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars.
 
These financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on November 9, 2018.
 
 
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except as described in the “Accounting Policy Changes – Adoption Impacts” and “New Accounting Policies” sections below.
 
Accounting Policy Changes – Adoption Impacts
 
The Company has made the following changes to its accounting policies and has adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
Foreign Currency Translation – Presentation Currency
 
The Company has changed its presentation currency from U.S. dollars (“USD”) to Canadian dollars (“CAD”) effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2018. The comparative periods have been restated to reflect the change in presentation currency. Refer to note 4 for more information.
 
International Financial Reporting Standard 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
 
In July 2014, the IASB published the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
 
Denison reviewed its accounting policies for financial instruments and on adoption of IFRS 9 has elected not to measure any of its equity instruments using the fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) approach and will instead use the fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) measurement method. Previously, under IAS 39, the Company had classified a subset of its equity instruments as “available for sale” and had recognized gains or losses on these investments in other comprehensive income (loss), similar to the FVTOCI approach under IFRS 9.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 and has applied the amendment retrospectively, through an adjustment to its opening equity as at January 1, 2017, reflecting a reclassification of the FVTOCI amount previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to Deficit. Any subsequent changes in AOCI for changes in FVTOCI during fiscal 2017 have been reversed and reflected as a component of net income (loss) for the period. See note 4 for details.
 
International Financial Reporting Standard 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)
 
IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 “Revenue” and IAS 11 ”Construction Contracts” and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
 
The Company reviewed its revenue recognition policies related to its UPC management services and its DES care and maintenance services and concluded that no retrospective change in timing or measurement is required for adoption of IFRS 15.
 
In its review of toll milling revenue recognition and its arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group PLC and its subsidiaries (the “APG Arrangement” and “APG”, respectively – see note 12), the Company concluded that the adoption of IFRS 15 will require a change to the Company’s accounting policy for deferred revenue associated with the APG Arrangement. Previously, the Company amortized the net proceeds of the APG Arrangement into revenue, on a pro-rata basis, based on the actual cash receipts from toll milling received in the period as a percentage of the total remaining undiscounted cash receipts expected to be received over the life of the arrangement. IFRS 15 requires that the APG deferred revenue be separated into a revenue component and a financing component. The transaction price associated with the revenue component is considered “variable” consideration under the standard. The transaction price has initially been measured at the transaction date as the aggregate of the net proceeds from the APG Arrangement and the expected financing charges to be incurred over the contract life, and is subsequently remeasured as changes to the timing or volume of the toll milling production profile occur. Revenue is recognized into net income (loss) based on the average toll milling drawdown rate multipled by toll milling production during the period. The average toll milling drawdown rate is computed based on estimates of the transaction price over the life of the contract divided by the estimated toll milling production to be delivered over the life of the contract. Changes in the estimated average toll milling drawdown rate are required to be retroactively adjusted each period with a cumulative adjustment to revenue. The financing component, computed annually, is based upon the discount rate applicable to the APG Arrangement up-front fee received multiplied by the outstanding deferred revenue liability amount.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018 and has applied the provisions of IFRS 15 on a full retrospective basis. This retrospective adoption has resulted in adjustments to increase revenues and finance expenses associated with the APG Arrangement, starting at the point in time of the APG Arrangement’s inception in February 2017, with the resulting net income (loss) impact being partly offset by changes in the deferred tax recoveries being recognized. See note 4 and 12 for details.
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
New Accounting Policies
 
The Company has changed its accounting policies in its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 for “Foreign currency translation”, “Financial instruments”, “Impairment of financial assets”, “Deferred revenue – toll milling” and “Revenue recognition” in light of the changes to its presentation currency and the adoption of IFRS 9 and 15. In addition, the Company has expanded its accounting policy for “Employee benefits – stock-based compensation” as a result of the new share unit plan approved by shareholders in May 2018. The new accounting policies are as follows:
 
(a)
Foreign currency translation
 
(i)
Functional and presentation currency
 
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the DMC group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). Primary and secondary indicators are used to determine the functional currency. Primary indicators include the currency that mainly influences sales prices, labour, material and other costs. Secondary indicators include the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated and in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained. Typically, the local currency has been determined to be the functional currency of Denison’s entities.
 
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
 
The financial statements of entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency of DMC (“foreign operations”) are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities-at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expenses-at the average rate of the period (as this is considered a reasonable approximation to actual rates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss as cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income or loss related to the foreign operation are recognized in the statement of income or loss as translational foreign exchange gains or losses.
 
(ii)
Transactions and balances
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into an entity’s functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in the statement of income or loss as transactional foreign exchange gains or losses.
 
(b) Financial instruments
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
 
At initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:
 
(i)
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
 
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is a derivative instrument, an equity instrument for which the Company has not made the irrevocable election to classify as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”), or a debt instrument that is not held within a business model whose objective includes holding the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Derivative financial liabilities and contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations are also classified in this category. Financial instruments in this category are recognized initially and subsequently at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income or loss. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are presented in the statement of income or loss – within other income (expense) - in the period in which they arise.
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
(ii)
Financial assets at amortized cost
 
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is a debt instrument and / or other similar asset that is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect the contractual cash flows (i.e. principal and interest). Financial assets in this category are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less a provision for impairment. Interest income is recorded in net income through finance income.
 
(iii)
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
 
All financial liabilities that are not recorded as FVTPL are classified in this category and are initially recognized less a discount (when material) to reduce the financial liabilities to fair value and less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recorded in net income through finance expense.
 
The Company has designated its financial assets and liabilities as follows:
 
“Investments” are classified as FVTPL;
“Cash and cash equivalents”, “Trade and other receivables” and “Restricted cash and investments” are classified as financial assets at amortized cost; and
“Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and “Debt obligations” are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
 
(c)
Impairment of financial assets
 
At each reporting date, the Company assesses the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets that are not carried at FVTPL. Expected credit losses are calculated based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted, where applicable, based on the assets original effective interest rate.
 
For “Trade and other receivables”, the Company calculates expected credit losses based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to debtors and the economic environment. In recording an impairment loss, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this computed amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account.
 
(d)
Revenue recognition
 
IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards.
 
(i)
Revenue from toll milling services
 
Revenue from the pre-sale of toll milling arrangement cash flows will be recognized as the toll milling services are provided. At contract inception, the Company will estimate the expected transaction price of the toll milling services being sold based on available information and calculate an average per unit transaction price that applies over the life of the contract. This unit price will be used to draw-down the deferred revenue balance as the toll milling services occur. When changes occur to the timing, or volume of toll milling services, the per unit transaction price will adjusted to reflect the change (such review to be done annually, at a minimum), and a cumulative catch up adjustment will be made to reflect the updated rate. The upfront nature of the payments from toll milling pre-sale arrangements represents a significant financing component. As such, the Company will also recognize an accretion expense on the deferred revenue balance which will be recorded in net income through finance expense.
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
(ii)
Revenue from environmental services (i.e. DES)
 
Environmental service contracts represent a series of distinct performance obligations that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer of control to the customer. The transaction price is estimated at contract inception and, is recognized over the life of the contract as control is transferred to the customer. Variable consideration, where applicable, is estimated at contract inception using either the expected value method or the most likely amount method. If it is highly probable that a subsequent reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty has been resolved, the Company will recognize as revenue the estimated transaction price, including the estimate of the variable portion, upon transfer of control to the customer. Where it is determined that it is highly probable that a subsequent reversal of revenue will occur upon the resolution of the uncertainty, the variable portion of the transaction price will be constrained, and will not be recognized as revenue until the uncertainty has been resolved.
 
(iii)
Revenue from management services (i.e. UPC):
 
The management services arrangement with UPC represents a series of distinct performance obligations that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer of control to the customer. The transaction price for the contract is estimated at contract inception and is recognized over the life of the contract as control is transferred to the customer as the services are provided. The variable consideration related to the net asset value (“NAV”)-based management fee was estimated at contract inception using the expected value method. It was determined that it is highly probable that a subsequent reversal of revenue would occur if the variable consideration was included in the transaction price, and as such, the variable portion of the transaction price will be measured and recognized when the uncertainty has been resolved (i.e. when the actual NAV has been calculated).
 
Commission revenue earned on acquisition or sale of U3O8 and UF6 on behalf of UPC (or other parties where Denison acts as an agent) is recognized when control of the related U3O8 or UF6 passes to the customer, which is the date when title of the U3O8 and UF6 passes.
 
(e)
Employee benefits
 
(i)
Share-based compensation
 
The Company uses a fair value-based method of accounting for share options to employees and to non-employees. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of the grant. The cost is recognized on a graded method basis, adjusted for expected forfeitures, over the applicable vesting period as an increase in share-based compensation expense and the contributed surplus account. When such share options are exercised, the proceeds received by the Company, together with the respective amount from contributed surplus, are credited to share capital.
 
The Company also has a share unit plan pursuant to which it may grant share units to employees – the share units are equity-settled awards. The Company determines the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The cost is recognized on a graded method basis, adjusted for expected forfeitures, over the applicable vesting period as an increase in share-based compensation expense and the contributed surplus account. When such share units are settled for common shares, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are credited to share capital.
 
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
 
IFRS 16 Leases requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. Under current standards, the Company expenses most of its lease payments. Application of IFRS 16 is mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company expects the adoption of IFRS 16 to result in the following: a) increased reported assets and liabilities; b) increased depreciation and accretion expense and decreased lease expense within the statement of income (loss); and c) decreased cash outflows from operations and increased cash outflows from financing as lease payments will be recorded as financing outflows in the cash flow statement. Assessments of the magnitude of the above impacts of adopting the standard are ongoing.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements that affect the amounts reported. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. These judgements and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience. Although the Company regularly reviews the estimates and judgements made that affect these financial statements, actual results may be materially different.
 
Management has made significant estimates and judgements in the current period related to the following items that are in addition to those included in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017:
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
(a)
Deferred Revenue – Toll Milling – Revenue Recognition
 
In February 2017, Denison closed the APG Arrangement and effectively monetized its right to receive specified future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV related to the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV. In exchange, Denison received a net up-front payment of $39,980,000 which has been accounted for as a deferred revenue liability as at the transaction close date (see note 12).
 
Under IFRS 15, the Company is required to recognize a revenue component and a financing component as it draws down the deferred revenue associated with the APG Arrangement over the life of the specified toll milling production included in the APG Arrangement. In estimating both of these components, the Company is required to make assumptions relating to the future toll milling production volume associated with Cigar Lake Phase 1 and 2 ore reserves and resources (to end of mine life) and estimates of the annual timing of that production. Changes in these estimates affect the underlying production profile which in turn affects the average toll milling drawdown rate used to recognize revenue.
 
When the average toll milling drawdown rate is changed, the impact is reflected on a life-to-date production basis with a retroactive adjustment to revenue recorded in the current period. Going forward, each time the Company updates its estimates of the underlying production profile for the APG Arrangement (typically, in the first quarter of each year, in the absence of material publicly disclosed news relating to Cigar Lake uranium production), retroactive adjustments to revenue will be recorded in the period that the revised estimate is determined – such adjustments could, and most likely will, be material.
 
Comparative Numbers
 
Certain classifications of the comparative figures have been changed to conform to those used in the current period.
 
 
4.
CHANGE IN PRESENTATION CURRENCY AND ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS
 
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company changed its presentation currency to CAD from USD. This change in presentation currency was made to better reflect the Company’s current business activities, which are now predominantly focused in Canada following the disposal of the Company’s African and Asia mining segments in fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
The consolidated financial statements for all periods presented in the interim financial statements are in CAD. The majority of the Company’s current entities, including all of its operating entities, have CAD as their functional currency so their functional currency financial statement amounts have been carried forward into the consolidated results. The financial statements of entities with a functional currency of USD have been translated into CAD in accordance with IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, as follows:
 
Assets and liabilities presented and previously reported in USD have been translated into CAD using period-end exchange rates of 1.3426 (January 1, 2017) and 1.2545 (December 31, 2017);
Consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income have been translated using the applicable average foreign exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods;
Investment in associates and shareholder’s equity balances have been translated using historical foreign exchange rates in effect on the date that transactions occurred; and
Resulting exchange differences have been recorded within the foreign currency translation reserve accounts.
 
The impact of the changes in presentation currency and the adoption of new accounting pronouncements (see note 3) on the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

GoviEx is a mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of its uranium properties located in Africa. GoviEx maintains a head office located in Canada and is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. At September 30, 2018, Denison holds an approximate 16.49% interest in GoviEx based on publicly available information (December 31, 2017: 18.72%) and has one director appointed to the GoviEx board of directors. Through the extent of its share ownership interest and its seat on the board of directors, Denison has the ability to exercise significant influence over GoviEx and accordingly, is using the equity method to account for this investment.
 
The trading price of GoviEx on September 30, 2018 was $0.24 per share which corresponds to a quoted market value of $15,635,000 (December 31, 2017: $17,589,000) for the Company’s investment in GoviEx common shares.
 
The following table is a summary of the consolidated financial information of GoviEx on a 100% basis taking into account adjustments made by Denison for equity accounting purposes for fair value adjustments and differences in accounting policy. Denison records its equity investment entries in GoviEx one quarter in arrears (due to the information not yet being publicly available), adjusted for any material publicly disclosed share issuance transactions that have occurred. A reconciliation of GoviEx’s summarized information to Denison’s investment carrying value is also included.

Mineral Properties
 
Canada Mining Segment
 
As at September 30, 2018, the Company has various interests in development, evaluation and exploration projects located in Canada which are either held directly or through option or various contractual agreements. Significant updates from the December 31, 2017 year-end are listed below.
 
Hook Carter
 
In November 2016, Denison completed the purchase of an 80% interest in the Hook-Carter property from ALX Uranium Corp (“ALX”). Under terms in the agreement, Denison has agreed to fund ALX’s share of the first $12,000,000 in expenditures and has also agreed to a work commitment of $3,000,000 over 3 years. Should Denison not meet this commitment, Denison’s interest in the property will decrease from 80% to 75% and ALX’s interest will increase from 20% to 25%.
 
As at September 30, 2018, the Company has spent $4,816,000 on the project, since acquisition, and has satisfied its work commitment condition in the Hook Carter purchase agreement.
 
Moore Lake
 
In August 2018, Denison received the final $300,000 cash option payment from Skyharbour Resources Ltd (“Skyharbour”) completing all of the commitments required under the August 2016 Moore Lake option agreement (“Moore Lake Agreement”). In conjunction with the final cash payment received, Denison has recognized a recovery of the carrying value of Moore Lake of $212,000, a gain on disposal of $88,000 and has transferred its 100% ownership interest in Moore Lake to Skyharbour. The Moore Lake Agreement is subject to certain buyback provisions in favour of Denison. To this point, Skyharbour has achieved the required $3,500,000 in expenditures on the project to trigger the first stage buyback option, which Denison has elected not to exercise. Denison retains a second stage buyback option on the property until a further $3,000,000 in expenditures have been incurred on the project by Skyharbour.
 
As at September 30, 2018, Denison’s ownership interest in Skyharbour is approximately 8.71% (December 31, 2017: 9.95%).
 
Waterbury Lake
 
In May 2018, the Company increased its interest in the Waterbury Lake property from 64.22% to 65.45% under the terms of the dilution provisions in the agreements governing the project (see note 22).
 
Wheeler River
 
In September 2018, Denison entered into an agreement with Cameco Corp. (“Cameco”) to increase its interest in the WRJV through the acquisition of Cameco’s remaining minority interest in the project. Under the terms of the agreement, and subject to the decision by JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Limited (“JCU”) to exercise certain rights of first refusal (“ROFR”) in its favor, Denison has agreed to acquire Cameco’s remaining interest in the WRJV (expected to be approximately 24% at the end of 2018) in exchange for the issuance of 24,615,000 common shares of Denison. Once issued, the shares will be subject to a six month escrow period during which time Cameco has agreed to not, directly or indirectly, transfer any of the shares with the prior written consent of Denison. The transfer of shares is also restricted for a further six month period, where Denison retains the right, under certain circumstances, to designate a purchaser upon notice from Cameco of the intent to transfer or sell all or a portion of the shares. The acquisition of Cameco’s minority interest will increase Denison’s interest in the WRJV to 90.00%, if JCU chooses not to exercise its ROFR rights. The transaction was completed on October 26, 2018 (see note 26).

Arrangement with Anglo Pacific Group PLC
 
In February 2017, Denison closed an arrangement with APG under which Denison received an upfront payment of $43,500,000 in exchange for its right to receive specified future toll milling cash receipts from the MLJV under the current toll milling agreement with the CLJV from July 1, 2016 onwards. The up-front payment was based upon an estimate of the gross toll milling cash receipts to be received by Denison discounted at a rate of 8.50%.
 
The APG Arrangement represents a contractual obligation of Denison to pay onward to APG any cash proceeds of future toll milling revenue earned by the Company related to the processing of specified Cigar Lake ore through the McClean Lake mill. The Company has reflected payments made to APG of $3,520,000, representing the Cigar Lake toll milling cash receipts received by Denison in respect of toll milling activity for the period from July 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017, as a reduction of the initial upfront amount received and has reduced the initial deferred revenue balance to $39,980,000 at the transaction date.
 
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recognized $3,000,000 of toll milling revenue from the draw-down of deferred revenue, based on Cigar Lake toll milling production of 13,134,000 pounds U308 (100% basis). The drawdown for the nine months includes a retroactive $332,000 decrease in revenue resulting from changes in estimates to the toll milling drawdown rate in the first quarter of 2018.

Letters of Credit Facility
 
In January and April 2018, the Company entered into amending agreements for the letters of credit facility with BNS (the “2018 facility”). Under the respective amendments, the maturity date of the 2018 facility has been extended to January 31, 2019 and the covenant to maintain a specified level of tangible net worth has been changed to $131,000,000 (from USD$150,000,000) in conjunction with the Company’s change in presentation currency. The 2018 facility continues to allow for credit to be extended to the Company for up to $24,000,000 and use of the facility continues to be restricted to non-financial letters of credit in support of reclamation obligations (see note 14). All other terms of the 2018 facility (pledged assets, security for the facility and letter of credit fees) remain unchanged from those of the 2017 facility.
 
At September 30, 2018, the Company is in compliance with its facility covenants and $24,000,000 (December 31, 2017: CAD$24,000,000) of the facility is being utilized as collateral for letters of credit issued in respect of the reclamation obligations for the MLJV and MWJV. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred letter of credit fees of $297,000.

Flow-Through Share Issues
 
The Company finances a portion of its exploration programs through the use of flow-through share issuances. Canadian income tax deductions relating to these expenditures are claimable by the investors and not by the Company.
 
As at September 30, 2018, the Company estimates that it has incurred $13,834,000 of its obligation to spend $14,499,790 on eligible exploration expenditures as a result of the issuance of Tranche A and Tranche B flow-through shares in March 2017. The Company renounced the income tax benefits of these issues in February 2018, with an effective date of renunciation to its subscribers of December 31, 2017. In conjunction with the renunciation, the flow-through share premium liability has been reversed and recognized as part of the deferred tax recovery (see notes 15 and 23).

Share Units
 
The Company has a share unit plan which provides for the granting of share unit awards to directors, officers and employees of the Company. The maximum number of share units that are issuable under the share unit plan is 15,000,000. Each share unit represents the right to receive one common share from treasury, subject to the satisfaction of various time and / or performance conditions.
 
Under the plan, all share unit grants, vesting periods and performance conditions therein are approved by the Company’s board of directors. Share unit grants are either in the form of RSUs or PSUs. RSUs granted in 2018 vest ratably over a period of three years. PSUs granted in 2018 vest ratably over a period of five years, based upon the achievement of the performance vesting conditions.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (“KHNP”)
 
As at September 30, 2018, KEPCO, through its subsidiaries, holds 58,284,000 shares of Denison representing a share interest of approximately 10.42%. KHNP Canada Energy Ltd., a subsidiary of KEPCO’s subsidiary KHNP, is the holder of the majority of Denison’s shares and is also the majority member of Korea Waterbury Uranium Limited Partnership (“KWULP”). KWULP is a consortium of investors that holds the non-Denison owned interests in Waterbury Lake Uranium Corporation (“WLUC”) and Waterbury Lake Uranium Limited Partnership (“WLULP”), entities whose key asset is the Waterbury Lake property.
 
In May 2018, Denison funded a portion of the approved fiscal 2018 program for Waterbury Lake which has had the impact of further diluting KWULP’s interest in the WLULP. As a result, Denison earned an additional 1.23% interest in the WLULP, increasing Denison’s interest to 65.45%. The additional interest has been accounted for using an effective date of May 31, 2018 and has resulted in Denison recording its increased pro-rata share of the net assets of Waterbury Lake, the majority of which relates to an addition to mineral property assets of $818,000 (see note 26).
 
Other
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred investor relations, administrative service fees and other expenses of $100,000 (September 30, 2017: $170,000) with Namdo Management Services Ltd, which shares a common director with Denison.

23. INCOME TAXES
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Denison has recognized deferred tax recoveries of $8,178,000. The deferred tax recovery includes the recognition of previously unrecognized Canadian tax assets of $3,835,000 relating to the February 2018 renunciation of the tax benefits associated with the Company’s $14,500,000 flow-through share issue in March 2017.
 
 
24. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 
The fair value of financial instruments which trade in active markets, such as share and warrant equity instruments, is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used to value financial assets held by the Company is the current closing price. Warrants that do not trade in active markets have been valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Debt instruments have been valued using the effective interest rate for the period that the Company expects to hold the instrument and not the rate to maturity.
 
Except as otherwise disclosed, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, restricted cash and cash equivalents and debt obligations approximate their carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments, or the variable interest rate associated with the instruments, or the fixed interest rate of the instruments being similar to market rates.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Specific Legal Matters
 
Mongolia Mining Division Sale – Arbitration Proceedings with Uranium Industry
 
In November 2015, the Company sold all of its mining assets and operations located in Mongolia to Uranium Industry a.s (“Uranium Industry”) pursuant to an amended and restated share purchase agreement (the “GSJV Agreement”). The primary assets at that time were the exploration licenses for the Hairhan, Haraat, Gurvan Saihan and Ulzit projects. As consideration for the sale per the GSJV Agreement, the Company received cash consideration of USD$1,250,000 prior to closing and the rights to receive additional contingent consideration of up to USD$12,000,000.
 
On September 20, 2016, the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia (“MRAM”) formally issued mining license certificates for all four projects, triggering Denison’s right to receive contingent consideration of USD$10,000,000 (collectively, the “Mining License Receivable”). The original due date for payment of the Mining License Receivable by Uranium Industry was November 16, 2016.
 
 
 
 
 
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
 
Under a subsequent extension agreement between Uranium Industry and the Company, the payment due date of the Mining License Receivable was extended from November 16, 2016 to July 16, 2017 (the “Extension Agreement”). As consideration for the extension, Uranium Industry agreed to pay interest on the Mining License Receivable amount at a rate of 5% per year, payable monthly up to July 16, 2017 and they also agreed to pay a $100,000 instalment amount towards the balance of the Mining License Receivable amount. The required payments were not made and Uranium Industry is in default of both the GSJV Agreement and the Extension Agreement.
 
On February 24, 2017, the Company served notice to Uranium Industry that it was in default of its obligations under the GSJV Agreement and the Extension Agreement and that the Mining License Receivable and all interest payable thereon are immediately due and payable.
 
On December 12, 2017, the Company filed a Request for Arbitration between the Company and Uranium Industry under the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration in conjunction with the default of Uranium Industry’s obligations under the GSJV and Extension agreements. A response and counterclaim was submitted by Uranium Industry on February 14, 2018 and on February 28, 2018 the members of the three person arbitration panel were appointed. As of the date hereof, arbitration proceedings are continuing.
 
 
26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Acquisition of Cameco’s Minority Interest in the WRJV
 
JCU waived its ROFR rights in respect of the purchase and on October 26, 2018, Denison completed the previously announced acquisition of Cameco’s entire WRJV minority interest of 23.92% (see note 11), in exchange for the issuance of 24,615,000 shares of Denison. Denison’s ownership interest in the WRJV has now increased to 90%.
 
The acquisition will be accounted for as an asset acquisition with share based consideration. Using Denison’s closing share price on October 26, 2018 of $0.70 per share, the value of the Denison shares issued to acquire the additional WRJV interest is approximately $17,231,000.
 
Dilution of KWULP Interest in Waterbury Lake
 
On October 31, 2018, Denison funded a portion of the approved fiscal 2018 program for Waterbury Lake which has the impact of further diluting KWULP’s interest in the WLULP. As a result, Denison has earned an additional 0.47% interest in the WLULP, increasing Denison’s interest from 65.45% to 65.92%.
 
Private Placement of 4,950,495 Flow-Through Common Shares
 
On November 2, 2018, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation, as a sole bookrunner and lead underwriter, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together, the ‘Underwriters’), under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a ‘bought deal’ private placement basis, 4,950,495 common shares on a flow-through basis (the ‘Flow-Through Shares’) at a price of $1.01 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $5,000,00. The Company also granted the Underwriters an option to increase the gross proceeds of the Offering by up to 10% (the ‘Underwriters’ Option’), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to two business days prior to the closing date, which is expected to occur on or about November 23, 2018.
