1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|
| | Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “Avino”) was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the |
| | Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold, |
| | and copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of mineral properties. The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granvil e Street, Vancouver, |
| | BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States, and trades on the Toronto |
| | Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the NYSE American, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges. The Company owns interests in mineral properties located in Durango, Mexico, as well as in British |
| | Columbia and Yukon, Canada. On October 1, 2012, the Company commenced production of silver and gold |
| | at levels intended by management at its San Gonzalo Mine, and on July 1, 2015, the Company commenced |
| | production of copper, silver, and gold at levels intended by management at its Avino Mine; both mines are |
| | located on the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico. |
|
| | Risks associated with Public Health Crises, including COVID-19 |
| | |
| | The Company's business, operations and financial condition could be material y adversely affected by the |
| | outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, such as the outbreak of COVID-19 that was |
| | designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The international response |
| | to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, |
| | quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such public health |
| | crises can result in operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions, global stock |
| | market and financial market volatility, declining trade and market sentiment, reduced movement of people |
| | and labour shortages, and travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, including as a result of government |
| | regulation and prevention measures, or a fear of any of the foregoing, all of which could affect commodity |
| | prices, interest rates, credit risk and inflation. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic, and any future |
| | emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions |
| | which may adversely impact the Company's operations, and the operations of suppliers, contractors and |
| | service providers, including smelter and refining service providers, and the demand for the Company's |
| | production. |
| | |
| | The Company may experience business interruptions, including suspended (whether government mandated |
| | or otherwise) or reduced operations relating to COVID-19 and other such events outside of the Company's |
| | control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and operating results, |
| | financial condition and liquidity. |
| | |
| | As at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the duration of the business |
| | disruptions internationally and related financial impact of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated. It is |
| | unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period of |
| | time. In particular, the region in which we operate may not have sufficient public infrastructure to adequately |
| | respond or efficiently and quickly recover from such event, which could have a materially adverse effect on |
| | the Company's operations. The Company's exposure to such public health crises also includes risks to |
| | employee health and safety. Should an employee, contractor, community member or visitor become infected |
| | with a serious il ness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Company's workforce at |
| | risk. |

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
| | Application of new and revised accounting standards: |
| | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS |
| | 16) |
| | The amendments in Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, |
| | IFRS 4 and IFRS 16) introduce a practical expedient for modifications required by the reform, clarify that |
| | hedge accounting is not discontinued solely because of the IBOR reform, and introduce disclosures that |
| | allow users to understand the nature and extent of risks arising from the IBOR reform to which the entity is |
| | exposed to and how the entity manages those risks as wel as the entity’s progress in transitioning from |
| | IBORs to alternative benchmark rates, and how the entity is managing this transition. |
| | The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2021, and did not have a material impact on the |
| | Company’s financial statements. |
| | Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at September 30, 2021: |
| | Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) |
| | The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds |
| | from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be |
| | capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds |
| | from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are applied |
| | on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application |
| | permitted. The amendments are applied retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment |
| | that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner |
| | intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial |
| | statements in which the Company first applies the amendments. The Company wil recognize the cumulative |

| | effect of initial y applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at |
| | the beginning of that earliest period presented. This amendment wil impact the Company’s accounting for |
| | proceeds from mineral sales prior to reaching commercial production at levels intended by management. |
| | Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) |
| | The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine |
| | whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date |
| | should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The |
| | amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023, |
| | with early adoption permitted. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s |
| | financial statements. |

| | underlying shares, the Company recognizes a derivative liability for these warrants and re-measures the |
| | liability at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. Changes in respect of the |
| | Company’s warrant liability are as fol ows: |

| | As at September 30, 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was |
| | 1.99 years (December 31, 2020 – 2.73 years). |
|
| | Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including |
| | the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing warrants is based on volatility |
| | observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value |
| | estimates. The fair value of the warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the |
| | following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values: |
| | |
| | | | September 30, | | December 31, |
| | | | | 2021 | | 2020 |

| | Weighted average fair value | | | $0.39 | | $0.77 |
|
| | During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a realized loss on the exercise |
| | of warrants of $1,111 as result of the exercise of 1,030,362 warrants for the issuance of 1,030,362 common |

(d) Restricted Share Units: |
|
| | On April 19, 2018, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan was approved by its |
| | shareholders. The RSU Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee under the supervision of |
| | the Board of Directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The |
| | Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including |
| | any performance criteria or vesting period. |
| | |
| | Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the |
| | participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of |
| | the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until |
| | such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to |
| | ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives |
| | common shares. |

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
| | The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their |
| | carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, long- |
| | term investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s |
| | term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair |
| | values based on current market rates for similar financial instruments. |
| | |
| | The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity |
| | risk, and market risk. |
|
| | (a) Credit Risk |
| | |
| | Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument wil cause a financial loss for the other party |
| | by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, long- |
| | term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and |
| | short-term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated |
| | financial institutions. |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts |
| | receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with one (December 31, 2020 – three) |
| | counterparty (see Note 20). However, the Company has not recorded any al owance against its trade |
| | receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in ful when due (typically within 60 |

|
| | (b) Liquidity Risk |
|
| | Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company wil encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as |
| | they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its |
| | operating, investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at September 30, 2021, in the |
| | amount of $22,341 and working capital of $28,903 in order to meet short-term business requirements. |
| | Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand |
| | and are subject to normal trade terms. The current portions of term facility, equipment loans, and |
| | finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the condensed consolidated interim statement of |
| | financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment. |
|
| | The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at September 30, |
| | 2021, are summarized as follows: |
| | | Less Than | | More Than 5 |
| | | Total | | 1 Year | 1-5 years | | Years |
| | Accounts payable and |
| | accrued liabilities | | | | | $ 3,079 | $ 3,079 | $ - | $ - |
| | Amounts due to related |
| | parties | 175 | | | | | | | 175 | - | - |
| | Minimum rental and lease |
| | payments | 303 | | | | | | | 64 | 83 | 156 |
| | Finance lease obligations | 1,167 | | | | | | | 398 | 769 | - |
| | Total | | | | | $ 4,724 | $ 3,716 | $ 852 | $ 156 |
|
| | (c) Market Risk |
|
| | Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further |
| | below. |
|
| | Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk consists of two components: (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are |
| | | | | | | | | | | affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate |
| | | | | | | | | | | cash flow risk. |
| | (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s |
| | | | | | | | | | | monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk. |
| | |
| | In management’s opinion, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term |
| | facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. A 10% change in the interest rate |
| | would not result in a material impact on the Company’s operations. |

|
| | Foreign Currency Risk |
| | |
| | Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wil |
| | fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to |
| | the extent that the fol owing monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and |
| | Canadian dollars: |
| | |
| | | September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 |
| | | MXN | | CDN | MXN | | CDN |
| | Cash | | | | | $ | 7,017 $ | | 2,655 $ | 36,896 $ | | 2,831 |
| | Long-term investments | - | | | | 4,210 | | | - | 5,317 |
| | Reclamation bonds | - | | | | | | | | 6 | - | | 6 |
| | Amounts receivable | - | | | | | | | | 29 | - | | 20 |
| | Accounts payable and |
| | accrued liabilities | (11,775) | | | | | | (302) | (22,972) | | | | | | (157) |
| | Due to related parties | - | | | | | | | | (263) | | | | | - | | (196) |
| | Finance lease obligations | (582) | | | | | | (385) | (1,543) | | | | | | (448) |
| | Net exposure | (5,340) | | 5,951 | 12,381 | | 7,373 |
| | US dollar equivalent | | | | | $ | (262) $ | | 4,670 $ | | | 620 $ | 5,791 |
| | |
| | Based on the net US dol ar denominated asset and liability exposures as at September 30, 2021, a 10% |
| | fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings |
| | for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, by approximately $398 (year ended December 31, |
| | 2020 - $589). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk. |
| | |
| | Price Risk |
| | |
| | Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wil fluctuate due to |
| | changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its amounts receivable, as certain trade accounts |
| | receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted |
| | metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors |
| | beyond the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging |
| | strategies to limit its exposure to price risk. At September 30, 2021, based on outstanding accounts |
| | receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an |
| | impact on net earnings (loss) of $4 (December 31, 2020 - $2). |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments |
| | are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or |
| | losses being recognized in net income (loss). At September 30, 2021, a 10% change in market prices |
| | would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $330 (December 31, 2020 - $418). |
| | |
| | The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production |
| | activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors |
| | commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate |
| | course of action to be taken by the Company. |

| | (d) Classification of Financial Instruments |
|
| | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to |
| | valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: |
| | |
| | Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| | Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, |
| | either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and |
| | Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable |
| | inputs). |
| | |
| | The fol owing table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair |
| | value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2021: |
| | |
| | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| | Financial assets | | | | | | |
| | Cash | $ | | 22,341 $ | | | | - $ | - |
| | Amounts receivable | | | | | | - | 1,513 | | | | - |
| | Long-term investments | | | 3,304 | | | | - | 40 |
| | | | $ |
| | Total financial assets | $ 25,645 | | | 1,513 $ | | | | 40 |
| | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | | |
| | Warrant liability | | | | | | - | - | (761) |
| | Total financial liabilities | $ - $ | | | | | | - $ | (761) |
|
| | The Company uses Black-Scholes model to measure its Level 3 financial instruments. As at September |
| | 30, 2021, the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments consisted of the Silver Wolf warrants and the |
| | warrant liability. |
| | |
| | For the Company’s warrant liability valuation and fair value adjustments during the years ended |
| | December 31, 2021 and 2020, see Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements. |
| | |
| | The Company’s Level 3 financial assets, which consists of warrants of Silver Wolf that were acquired |
| | during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (see Note 6 for long-term investments details and |
| | Note 7 for details of the acquisition). The warrants are measured on acquisition and at September 30, |
| | 2021, using the following assumptions: |
| | |
| | | | | | | | | | September 30, | | March 11, |
| | | | | | | 2021 | 2021 |
