Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Nature of operations

Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or “the Company”) is a gold exploration, development, mining and production company. The Company has ongoing exploration and development projects in Brazil, China, Turkey and Greece. On July 1, 2006, the Company began production in Turkey, and on February 1, 2007, the Company began production in China. Production at the Kişladağ mine in Turkey was suspended in August 2007 as a result of a court injunction and the mine remained shut down throughout the rest of that year. The court injunction was removed in February 2008 and the mine restarted production on June 6, 2008. Production operations in Brazil ceased in the second quarter of 2007 and the São Bento mine (“São Bento”) was sold to AngloGold Ashanti on December 15, 2008.

With the exception of changes in accounting policies as outlined in note 2 below, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were 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, 2008. 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, 2008.

In the opinion of management, Eldorado has made all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as at June 30, 2009 and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods then ended.

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

Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments

Goodwill and intangible assets (Section 3064)

In February 2008, the Canadian institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new standard provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing goodwill and intangible assets and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and applies retrospectively.

Concurrent with the adoption of this standard, CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 27 (“EIC-27”), “Revenues and Expenditures in the Pre-operating Period”, was withdrawn. This resulted in a change to the Company’s accounting for the start-up of mining operations, as pre-commercial production costs are no longer capitalized as an asset.

The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have a material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Changes in accounting policies and new accounting developments (continued)

Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (EIC Abstract 173)

In January 2009, the CICA issued EIC Abstract 173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The EIC requires the Company to take into account the Company’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. This abstract applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have any material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.

Mining Exploration Costs (EIC Abstract 174)

In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC Abstract 174, “Mining Exploration Costs”. The EIC provides guidance on the accounting and the impairment review of exploration costs. This abstract applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have any material impact on Eldorado’s consolidated financial statements.

Sale of subsidiary

Effective June 1, 2009, Eldorado sold to Solex Resources Corp. (“Solex”) its interest in the Macusani East Uranium project, the sole asset of Minera Frontera Pacifico S.A. (“MFP”), which was obtained through its acquisition of Frontier Pacific Mining Corporation in 2008.

Under the terms of the sale agreement, Solex acquired 27,555,244 common shares of MFP and Eldorado received 11,820,487 common shares of Solex, a promissory note in the amount of Cdn$2,000 payable in instalments of Cdn$1,000 on the first and second anniversaries of the closing (secured by a mortgage on the project), and a uranium royalty on the project. Eldorado also received a promissory note of Cdn$125 payable on demand.

Following the completion of the transaction, Eldorado holds directly 13,820,487 Solex common shares representing 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Solex shares (as at June 1, 2009).

This transaction resulted in a gain of $1,463.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents short-term interest-bearing money market securities and funds held on deposit as collateral. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had the following restricted cash:

Agreement to acquire shares in Sino Gold Mining Limited

In June 2009, Eldorado entered into an agreement to acquire 57.9 million shares of Sino Gold Mining Limited (“Sino Gold”) from Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”) in a private transaction in exchange for Eldorado shares. This represents approximately 19.83% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sino Gold.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire 57,968,029 Sino Gold shares from Gold Fields. The transaction is to be settled though the issuance to Gold Fields of 27,824,654 shares of Eldorado by way of a prospectus. The number of Eldorado shares was determined based on an exchange ratio of 0.48 Eldorado shares for each Sino Gold share.

For a period of 18 months, Gold Fields will hold a top-up right which will apply should Eldorado purchase an additional 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Sino Gold and the sellers receive consideration equivalent to a share consideration ratio in excess of the share exchange ratio received by Gold Fields.

In connection with this transaction, a short form prospectus was filed and a receipt issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission to the Company on July 20, 2009.

The agreement closed on July 27, 2009.
