ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2006

(Unaudited – Expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Nature of operations

Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado", or the "Company") is engaged in gold mining and related activities, including exploration and development, extraction, processing, and reclamation. Gold, the primary product, is produced in Turkey and Brazil. Development and construction of mines and processing facilities are underway in China. Exploration activities are carried on in Brazil, Turkey and China.

The Company has not determined whether all of its development properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amount shown for mineral properties and deferred development is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing, licenses and permits to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The amounts shown as mineral properties and deferred development represent net costs to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

Effective July 1, 2006, the Company commenced commercial production at its Kisladag gold mine in Turkey.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles following the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited annual financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2005, except as stated in note 3. The disclosures in these interim financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual financial statements of the Company.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain of the prior periods' balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2006

(Unaudited – Expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Significant accounting policies

As a result of the commissioning of the Kisladag mine, the Company adopted an accounting policy for open pit operations, analogous to its accounting policy for underground operations:

Mineral properties and capitalized development costs, where the mine operating plan calls for production from well defined ore reserves, are amortized over the life of the mine on a units of production basis. Buildings, machinery, mobile and other equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, not exceeding the life of the mine.

The adoption of this policy has no effect on any prior periods presented.
