Eldorado Gold Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2009


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



1.

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 for annual financial statements, 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 September 30, 2009 and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three- and nine-month periods then ended.

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


2.

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.


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


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.

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


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.


Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (Section 3855) and Impaired Loans (Section 3025)


In July 2009, the Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) amended Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, and Section 3025, Impaired Loans, to converge with IFRS for impairment of debt instruments by enabling debt securities to be included in the loans and receivables category. The main features of the amendments are: i) to eliminate the distinction between debt securities and other debt instruments and adopt the definition of loans and receivables from IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, ii) to permit reclassification of financial assets from the held-for-trading and available-for-sale categories into the loans and receivables category and specifying the circumstances in which such transfers can be made and the accounting for those transfers, iii) to reclassify to net income, foreign exchange gains and losses associated with assets transferred out of the available-for-sale category, that were previously recognized in other comprehensive income, immediately upon transfer, iv) to change the impairment model for held-to-maturity investments to the incurred credit loss model in accordance with Section 3025, and v) to require the reversal of an impairment loss relating to an available-for-sale debt instrument when, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the loss was recognized.

The new changes are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after November 1, 2009. Application to interim financial statements in year of adoption is permitted if statements are issued on or after August 20, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.



3.

Vila Nova Iron Ore Project


On August 5, 2009, the Company announced the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in its Vila Nova Iron Ore Project (the "Project") from Mineração Amapari SA (“Amapari”), a Brazilian private company, in exchange for a Net Profits Interest royalty of 10% plus a sliding scale royalty based on the operating margin of the Project. The transaction took place between Amapari and Unamgen Mineração - a wholly owned subsidiary of Eldorado in Brazil.


Under the terms of the agreement, Eldorado has to pay $750 on start of commercial production plus variable payments tied to total production or sales of assets.

Debt


In November 2007, Qinghai Dachaidan Mining Limited (“QDML”), our 90% owned subsidiary, entered into a $15,000 revolving facility (“the Facility) with HSBC Bank (China). The Facility can be drawn down in minimum tranches of $100 or in integral multiples of $10. Each drawdown bears interest fixed at the prevailing lending rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China with a 10% markdown. The Facility had a term of one year and is subject to annual review and renewal. In November 2008, the Facility was renewed for a second year and the interest rate was fixed at 1.2 times the prevailing lending rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China.


In January 2009, QDML drew down $5,000 under the Facility and the total amount was paid off in September, 2009. A restricted cash account was set up as collateral for the bank loan at the beginning of the year in the amount of $5,500 and it was released by the Bank when the loan was paid off at the end of September, 2009.

Agreements to acquire Sino Gold Mining Limited


On July 27, 2009, Eldorado acquired 57,968,029 shares (19.8%) of Sino Gold Mining Limited (“Sino Gold”) from Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”). On that date, Eldorado issued 27,824,654 common shares from Treasury as consideration for the 57,968,029 common shares of Sino Gold (the “Sino Gold shares”).


The Sino Gold shares were initially valued and recorded at $263,293 and are classified as a long term investment available for sale. As such, the investment in Sino Gold is carried at fair value at September 30, 2009, being $345,415, based on the closing price of the shares and foreign exchange rate at September 30, 2009. The increase in fair value during the period is recorded as an unrealized gain of $82,122 in other comprehensive income with a related future income tax charge of $9,946. In accordance with EIC-172, the tax benefit from the recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses carried forward consequent to the recording of unrealized gains on the Sino Gold investment has been recognized in net income as an income tax recovery of $9,946.


For a period of 18 months, Gold Fields has 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 0.48 share exchange ratio received by Gold Fields.

8.    Agreements to acquire Sino Gold Mining Limited (continued)


On August 26, 2009, Eldorado and Sino Gold announced that they had signed a Scheme Implementation Deed under which Eldorado proposed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in Sino Gold that it does not currently own via a Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme") under Australian law.


Consideration for the transaction will be Eldorado shares, with Sino Gold shareholders offered 0.55 Eldorado shares for each Sino Gold share they own. The transaction values Sino Gold at approximately A$2.2 billion (US$1.8 billion) as at the announcement date.


On completion of the transaction, Eldorado expects to issue 4.1 million shares to Gold Fields pursuant to the top-up right.


The transaction is subject to satisfaction of a number of customary conditions precedent, including the receipt of required regulatory and Australian court approvals, as well as the approval of Sino Gold shareholders. Regulatory approvals from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board have been obtained, and subject to meeting customary conditions, approval from the TSX and NYSE have been obtained. The transaction is expected to close by mid December. On September 14, 2009, Eldorado announced that the due diligence conditions had been satisfied.


A reimbursement fee of A$21 million applies to both parties should the Scheme Implementation Deed be terminated under certain circumstances and the transaction does not complete.
