|
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, |

|
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
| | Statement of Compliance |
| | |
| | These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with |
| | International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial |
| | Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These |
| | condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of |
| | application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company. These condensed |
| | consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for ful annual financial |
| | statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read |
| | in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2019, annual consolidated financial statements, which were |
| | prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. |
|
| | These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dol ars and have |
| | been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. |
| | In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual |
| | basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out below have been applied |
| | consistently to al periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as if the |
| | policies have always been in effect. |
|
| | Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates |
|
| | The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies |
| | to the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the |
| | preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of |
| | the impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period |
| | from uncertain future events and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting |
| | period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. |
| | Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are |
| | considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the |
| | carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. |
|
| | The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed |
| | consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020, are consistent with those |
| | applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended |
| | December 31, 2019. |

AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD. |
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 |
(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
|
| | Additional information on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties by region is as fol ows: |
|
| | (a) Durango, Mexico |
| | | |
| | The Company’s subsidiary Avino Mexico owns 42 mineral claims and leases four mineral claims in the |
| | state of Durango, Mexico. The Company’s mineral claims in Mexico are divided into the following four |
| | groups: |
| | | |
| | (i) Avino mine area property |
| | | |
| | | The Avino mine area property is situated around the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de |
| | | Avino and surrounding the historic Avino mine site. There are four exploration concessions covering |
| | | 154.4 hectares, 24 exploitation concessions covering 1,284.7 hectares, and one leased exploitation |
| | | concession covering 98.83 hectares. Within the Avino mine site area is the Company’s San Gonzalo |
| | | Mine, which achieved production at levels intended by management as of October 1, 2012, and on this |
| | | date accumulated exploration and evaluation costs were transferred to mining properties. |
| | | |
| | (i ) Gomez Palacio property |
| | | |
| | | The Gomez Palacio property is located near the town of Gomez Palacio, and consists of nine exploration |
| | | concessions covering 2,549 hectares. |
|
| | (iii) Santiago Papasquiaro property |
| | | |
| | | The Santiago Papasquiaro property is located near the vil age of Santiago Papasquiaro, and consists |
| | | of four exploration concessions covering 2,552.6 hectares and one exploitation concession covering |
| | | 602.9 hectares. |
|
| | (iv) Unification La Platosa properties |
| | | |
| | | The Unification La Platosa properties, consisting of three leased concessions in addition to the leased |
| | | concession described in note (i) above, are situated within the Avino mine area property near the towns |
| | | of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the Avino Mine. |
| | | | |
| | | In February 2012, the Company’s whol y-owned Mexican subsidiary entered into a new agreement with |
| | | Minerales de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales”) whereby Minerales has indirectly granted to the |
| | | Company the exclusive right to explore and mine the La Platosa property known as the “ET zone”. The |
| | | ET zone includes the Avino Mine, where production at levels intended by management was achieved |
| | | on July 1, 2015. |
| | | |
| | | Under the agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive right to explore and mine the property |
| | | for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to extend the agreement for another 5 years. In |
| | | consideration of the granting of these rights, the Company issued 135,189 common shares with a fair |
| | | value of C$250 during the year ended December 31, 2012. |
| | | |
| | | The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns (“NSR”). In |
| | | addition, after the start of production, if the minimum monthly processing rate of the mine facilities is |
| | | less than 15,000 tonnes, then the Company must pay to Minerales a minimum royalty equal to the |
| | | applicable NSR royalty based on the processing at a monthly rate of 15,000 tonnes. |
|
| | | Minerales has also granted to the Company the exclusive right to purchase a 100% interest in the |
| | | property at any time during the term of the agreement (or any renewal thereof), upon payment of $8 |
| | | mil ion within 15 days of the Company’s notice of election to acquire the property. The purchase would |
| | | be subject to a separate purchase agreement for the legal transfer of the property. |

|
12. WARRANT LIABILITY |
|
| | The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in US dollars. As |
| | the denomination is different from the Canadian dol ar functional currency of the entity issuing the 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 follows: |
| | |
| | | | June 30, | December 31, |
| | | | 2020 | | 2019 |
| | Balance at beginning of the period | | | | | $ | 1,579 | $ | 2,009 |
| | Fair value adjustment | | 1,149 | | (520) |
| | Effect of movement in exchange rates | | | | | | (73) | 90 |
| | Balance at end of the period | | | | | $ | 2,655 | $ | 1,579 |
| | |
| | Continuity of warrants during the periods is as follows: |
| | | | | | | Underlying | Weighted Average |
| | | | | | | Shares | Exercise Price |
| | Warrants outstanding and exercisable, January 1, 2019 | | | | | 10,778,061 | $1.20 |
| | Issued | | | | | 464,122 | C$0.85 |
| | Expired | | | | | (3,602,215) | $1.99 |
| | Warrants outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2019 | | | | | 7,639,968 | $0.79 |
| | Exercised | | | | | (464,122) | C$0.85 |
| | Warrants outstanding and exercisable, June 30, 2020 | | | | | 7,175,846 | $0.80 |
| | |
| | | | | All Warrants |
| | | | | | | | | | Outstanding and Exercisable |
| Exercise Price | | | June 30, | December 31, |
| | Expiry Date | | | | | | | | per Share | 2020 | | 2019 |
| | July 30, 2020 | | | | | | | | C$0.85 | - | 464,122 |
| | September 25, 2023 | | | | | | | $0.80 | 7,175,846 | 7,175,846 |
| | | | | | | | | | 7,175,846 | 7,639,968 |
| | |
| | As at June 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 3.24 years |
| | (December 31, 2019 – 3.55 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: |
| | |
| | | | June 30, | December 31, |
| | | | 2020 | | 2019 |
| | Weighted average assumptions: | | | | | | | | | |
| | Risk-free interest rate | | 0.57% | | 1.68% |
| | Expected dividend yield | | | | | | 0% | 0% |
| | Expected warrant life (years) | | 3.24 | | 3.57 |
| | Expected stock price volatility | | 66.50% | | 61.61% |
| | Weighted average fair value | | $0.37 | | $0.22 |

| | |
| | Management’s estimate of the reclamation provision at June 30, 2020, is $1,296 (December 31, 2019 – |
| | $1,524), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $1,597 (December 31, 2019 – $1,985). |

| | | | | | | 2019, representing $116. |
|
| | (iii) | | | | | During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 675,145 common shares as |
| | | | | | | settlement of accrued advisory services provided by Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporate |
| | | | | | | (“Cantor”) for the completion of the sale of Bralorne. The value of these shares was accrued at |
| | | | | | | December 31, 2019; however, the shares were not issued until January 2020. |

| | | | | | | as commission, leaving a residual amount of $5,124. This amount includes a flow-through |
| | | | | | | premium, which represents the difference between the C$0.85 price in which the common shares |
| | | | | | | were issued, and the offering price of C$0.99 per share. Based on the C$ to US$ exchange rate |
| | | | | | | on the date of the transaction, $247 was recorded as the flow-through premium, for a net share |
| | | | | | | capital allocation of $4,877. This premium is presented in “Other liabilities” on the condensed |

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 |
(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
|
| | During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company charged $(4) (six months ended June 30, 2019 |
| | - $56) to operations as share-based payments and capitalized $Nil (six months ended June 30, 2019 - |
| | $21) to exploration and evaluation assets for the fair value of stock options vested during the period. |
|
(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. |
| | |
| | During the six months ended June 30, 2020, no RSUs (year ended December 31, 2019 – 1,730,500) |
| | were granted. Al RSUs granted vest one-third annually from the date of the grant until ful y vested at the |
| | end of the three-year term. For the RSUs issued in the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted |
| | average fair value at the measurement date was C$0.79, based on the TSX market price of the |
| | Company’s shares on the date the RSUs were granted. |
| | |
| | At June 30, 2020, there were 2,277,107 RSUs outstanding (December 31, 2019 – 2,372,875). |
| | |
| | During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company charged $374 (June 30, 2019 - $356) to |
| | operations as share-based payments and capitalized $Nil (June 30, 2019 - $36) to exploration and |
| | evaluation assets for the fair value of the RSUs vested. The fair value of the RSUs is recognized over the |
| | vesting period with reference to vesting conditions and the estimated RSUs expected to vest. |

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. |

AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD. |
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 |
(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
|
| | 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 four (December 31, 2019 – six) |
| | counterparties (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 |
| | days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties. |
| | |
| | The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount |
| | of these financial assets as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. At June 30, 2020, |
| | no amounts were held as collateral. |
|
| | (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 June 30, 2020, in the amount of $10,386 |
| | and working capital of $13,797 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 June 30, 2020, are |
| | summarized as follows: |
| | | Less Than | | More Than 5 |
| | | Total | | 1 Year | 1-5 years | | Years |
| | Accounts payable and |
| | accrued liabilities | | | | | $ 3,110 | $ 3,110 | $ - | $ - |
| | Amounts due to related |
| | parties | 138 | | | | | | | 138 | - | - |
| | Minimum rental and lease |
| | payments | 25 | | | | | | | 6 | 16 | 3 |
| | Term facility | 4,307 | | 3,467 | | | | | | 840 | - |
| | Equipment loans | 185 | | | | | | | 185 | - | - |
| | Finance lease obligations | 739 | | | | | | | 415 | 324 | - |
| | Total | $ 8,504 | | $ 7,321 | $ 1,180 | $ 3 |
|
| | (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 a 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 following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and Canadian dol ars: |
| | |
| | | June 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 |
| | | MXN | | CDN | MXN | | CDN |
| | Cash | | | | | $ | 3,378 $ | | 4,526 $ | 2,780 $ | | 5,902 |

| | Reclamation bonds | - | | | | | | | | 6 | - | | 6 |
| | Amounts receivable | - | | | | | | | | 14 | - | | 54 |
| | Accounts payable and |
| | accrued liabilities | (59,084) | | | | | | (167) | (51,307) | | | | | | (442) |
| | Due to related parties | - | | | | | | | | (188) | - | | (202) |
| | Finance lease obligations | (676) | | | | | | | | (491) | (1,037) | | | | | | (522) |
| | Net exposure | (56,382) | | 10,607 | (49,564) | | 10,395 |
| | US dollar equivalent | | | | | $ | (2,453) $ | | 7,782 $ | (2,627) $ | | 8,004 |
| | |
| | Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2020, a 10% |
| | fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings |
| | for the six months ended June 30, 2020, by approximately $462 (year ended December 31, 2019 - $465). |
| | 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 June 30, 2020, 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 approximately $20 (December 31, 2019 - $70). |
| | |
| | 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 June 30, 2020, a 10% change in market prices would have an |
| | impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $507 (December 31, 2019 - $467). |
| | |
| | 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 following 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 June 30, 2020: |
