Eldorado Gold Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2008


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



1.

Nature of operations and basis of presentation

Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”, “we” or “the Company”) is a gold exploration, development, mining and production company. We have ongoing exploration and development projects in Brazil, China and Turkey. On July 1, 2006, Eldorado began production in Turkey and on February 1, 2007, Eldorado began production in China. We suspended production at the Kişladağ mine in Turkey in August 2007 as a result of a court injunction and the mine remained shut down throughout the remainder of 2007. The court injunction was removed in February 2008 and the mine restarted production on March 6, 2008. We ceased production operations at the São Bento mine in Brazil in the second quarter of 2007, and the mine is now in reclamation.

With the exception of changes in accounting policies as outlined in note 2 below, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Eldorado in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) consistent with those used to prepare Eldorado’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. As these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by Canadian GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In the opinion of management, Eldorado has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as at June 30, 2008 and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.


2.

Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments


Capital Disclosures – Section 1535


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures”, which requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information that enables the users to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital as well as the implications of non-compliance. Disclosures required by this standard are included in note 7.


Inventories – Section 3031


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Section 3031 “Inventories”. This Section prescribes the accounting treatment for inventories and provides guidance on the determination of costs and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.

Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments (continued)


Financial Instruments – Disclosures – Section 3862 and Presentation – Section 3863

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and Section 3863 “Financial Instruments – Presentation”. These Sections require entities to disclose quantitative and qualitative information in their financial statements that enables users to evaluate (a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance; and (b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing such risks. Disclosures required by these standards are included in note 8.


Goodwill and intangible assets – Section 3064

In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets and is effective beginning January 1, 2009. Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, EIC-27, “Revenues and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, will be withdrawn. This will result in a change to the Company’s accounting for the start-up of mining operations, as pre-commercial production costs will no longer be capitalized as an asset. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.


International Financial Reporting Standards

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) over an expected five-year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the transition date for publicly listed companies to use IFRS, which will replace Canadian GAAP. The effective date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While we have begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Capital disclosure

Eldorado’s objectives when managing capital are to:


a)

safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern,

b)

have sufficient capital to develop our mining projects and take them into production, and

c)

meet external capital requirements on our credit facilities.


The Company monitors capital based on the debt to adjusted capital ratio. Debt is total debt shown on the balance sheet. Adjusted capital includes all components of shareholders’ equity, which includes accumulated comprehensive income, share capital, contributed surplus and deficit.


Eldorado’s strategy is to keep the debt to adjusted capital ratio below 40%. The debt to adjusted capital ratio at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 11.94% and 14.60% respectively.

Fair value estimates are made at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments.


Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from the markets.


The derivative contract fair value was calculated based on a capital asset pricing model (“CAPM”) to estimate the forward price of Brazilian electricity for 2008, adjusted by the Brazilian real and US dollar forward exchange rates and then discounted for time value.


The CAPM estimates the risk-adjustment applied to spot electricity prices as a means of deriving a forward price.


We used the following assumptions when calculating the fair value of this contract:


Quantity of energy to purchase

39,655.60 MWh

Set price per contract

$24.50/MWh

Spot price in Brazilian real – January 2008

R$502.45/MWh

Forward price of energy (range)

$111.78/MWh – $54.75/MWh

US treasury yield (range)

2.90% – 3.31%

Financial instruments (continued)

b)

Financial risk management

Eldorado’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and gold price risk.


Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. Eldorado deposits its cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by ratings agencies.

 

Currency risk

The Company operates in numerous countries, including Canada, Turkey, China and Brazil, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.


Eldorado’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are held in several currencies (mainly Canadian dollars, Turkish liras, Chinese renminbi and Brazilian real) and are therefore subject to fluctuation against the US dollar.

We held the following balances in foreign currency as at June 30, 2008:


 

Canadian dollar

Euro

Turkish        lira

Chinese renminbi

Brazilian real

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

  7,720 

  37 

  2,009 

  (11,616)

  1,524 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Equivalent in US dollars

  7,589 

  58 

  1,644 

  (3,671)

  956 


Based on the balances as at June 30, 2008, a 1% increase (decrease) in the exchange rates on that date would have resulted in a (decrease) increase of approximately $66 in earnings before income. There would be no effect in other comprehensive income.

Our cash flows from our operations are exposed to foreign exchange risk, as commodity sales are set in US dollars and a certain amount of our operating expenses are in the currency of the country in which our mining operations take place.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature. Eldorado’s debt is not exposed to interest rate cash flow risk as the interest rate has been fixed at the time of each drawdown.

8.

Financial instruments (continued)


Gold price risk and other price risk

Eldorado is subject to price risk for fluctuations in the market price of gold. Gold prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including central bank sales, producer hedging activities, the relative exchange rate of the US dollar with other major currencies, global and regional demand and political and economic conditions. Worldwide gold production levels also affect gold prices, and the price of gold is occasionally subject to rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. We have elected not to actively manage our exposure to gold price risk at this time. From time to time, we may use commodity price contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the price of gold.

Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Eldorado’s other price risk includes equity price risk and energy price risk, whereby the Company’s investments in available-for-sale securities and derivative contracts, respectively, are subject to market price fluctuation.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalent balances, and by appropriately using its lines of credit. Our treasury department monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.

As at June 30, 2008, Eldorado had $29,928 of purchase obligations with respect to its normal course of business and $25,403 in capital commitments for the remainder of 2008.

Subsequent events

a)

On July 3, 2008 we announced that our bid to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation (“FRP”) was successful. The transaction is valued at approximately C$148 million (or C$157 million on a fully diluted basis). FRP shareholders will receive 0.122 common shares of Eldorado and C$0.0001 in cash as well as one exchange receipt (an "Exchange Receipt") for every common share of FRP. Each Exchange Receipt will entitle its holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, 0.008 common shares of Eldorado, conditional upon a joint ministerial resolution being issued prior to July 1, 2009 by the Greek Joint Ministerial Council, comprised of the Greek Ministries of Environment, Agriculture, Culture, Development and Health, accepting the environmental terms of reference drafted by the Ministry of the Environment for FRP's Perama Hill gold project. If the joint ministerial resolution accepting the environmental terms of reference is not received prior to July 1, 2009, the Exchange Receipts will be cancelled.

b)

On July 9, 2008 we announced our agreement with Brazauro Resources Corporation to earn an interest in the Tocantinzinho (“TZ”) Project in Brazil. Eldorado can earn up to a 75% interest in the TZ Project by undertaking $9.5 million of exploration and development expenditures and making payments to Brazauro in the aggregate of $90.0 million plus a production decision fee of up to $10.0 million. As part of the transaction Eldorado will subscribe for 8,800,000 units of Brazauro at a price of $0.95 per unit.

c)

On July 31, 2008 we announced we have entered into a letter agreement (“the Agreement”) with AngloGold Ashanti (“AngloGold”) for the sale of all the shares of São Bento Gold Limited (“SBGL”) together with its wholly owned subsidiary São Bento Mineracao S.A, which in turn holds all the assets and liabilities of the São Bento Gold Mine in Minas Gerais State, Brazil (“the Transaction”). The Agreement is subject to execution and delivery of final definitive agreements and regulatory approvals in Brazil and the Republic of South Africa. Under the terms of the Agreement AngloGold will acquire all the shares of SBGL for a total consideration of US$70 million, to be paid in American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) of AngloGold which will be freely tradeable on the New York Stock Exchange. Eldorado’s Vila Nova Iron Ore Project and certain pieces of underground equipment are excluded from the Transaction. As a term of the Agreement, Eldorado will be provided with a right of first refusal on any future disposition by AngloGold of the São Bento Mine or AngloGold’s adjacent Corrego do Sitio Gold Project for a period of three years.
