Silver Standard Resources Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014
(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)


1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silver Standard Resources Inc. ("we", "us" or "our") is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and our shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NASDAQ Global Markets in the United States. Together with our subsidiaries, we (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of precious metal resource properties located in the Americas. With the acquisition of the Marigold mine on April 4, 2014, we have two producing mines and a portfolio of silver resource dominant projects located throughout the Americas. Silver Standard Resources Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Group.

Our address is Suite 800, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, PO Box 49088, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1G4.

Our strategic focus is to optimize the production of silver and gold from our Pirquitas mine in Argentina and Marigold mine in Nevada, USA and to advance other principal development projects including the Pitarrilla project in Mexico and the San Luis project in Peru and our other projects within our project pipeline towards development and commercial production.


2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are set out below.

a)
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The comparative information has also been prepared on this basis, with the exception of certain items, details of which are given below, for which comparative information has been restated.
The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") interpretations and were approved on August 6, 2014 by our Board of Directors. Following the acquisition of the Marigold mine on April 4, 2014, we have applied the following new accounting policies that were not previously applicable to the business. All other applicable accounting policies to the Marigold mine are consistent with those disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(i)
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred. The results of businesses acquired during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the businesses which can be measured reliably are recorded at provisional fair values at the date of acquisition. Provisional fair values are finalized within 12 months of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the “measurement period” (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

(ii)
Revenue recognition for gold bullion
Revenue from the sale of gold bullion is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer; it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to us; the sale price can be measured reliably; we have no significant continuing involvement; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Typically, this is on the trade settlement date.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

(iii)
Leach pad inventory
The recovery of gold and by-products from certain oxide ore is achieved through a heap leaching process. Under this method, ore is stacked on leach pads and treated with a chemical solution that dissolves the gold contained within the ore. The resulting pregnant solution is further processed in a plant where the gold is recovered in doré. Costs are included in heap leach ore inventory based on current mining and leaching costs, including applicable depreciation and depletion of mineral properties, and removed from heap leach ore inventory as ounces of gold are recovered at the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pads. Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated based on the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tonnes added to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and a recovery percentage.

(iv)
Property, plant and equipment
The following significant classes of depreciable plant and equipment were acquired with Marigold mine and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
life of mine
Mobile equipment components
3 to 15 years

b)Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes. There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting judgments and estimates from those disclosed in note 2 of the audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 other than those which related to the sale of the Challacollo project and the acquisition of the Marigold mine, as discussed below.

(i)
Deferred consideration
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our 100% interest in the Challacollo project (note 7) of which a portion of sale consideration is deferred. The deferred consideration is dependent on various uncertain events and assumptions, including estimation of the year in which commercial production may be reached, the share price of Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay") for the deferred shares, and the price of silver for the deferred silver bullion. The fair value of the deferred consideration is determined by considering various scenarios of discounting the expected cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate and applying probability aspects to the cash flows.

(ii)
Acquisition of the Marigold mine
Judgment is required to determine whether we acquired a business under the definition of IFRS 3, Business combinations, and also the acquisition date when we obtained control over the acquiree, which was the date that consideration is transferred and when we assumed the assets and liabilities of the acquiree.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The valuation of certain assets and liabilities requires significant management estimates and judgment. The value of the leach pad inventory requires an estimation of recoverable ounces, production profile, future metal prices and estimation of costs to complete the production process. Property, plant and equipment requires judgment over the appropriate fair value methodology to appraise the assets and various assumptions around estimated useful lives and current replacement costs. The mineral property valuation is based upon estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources used in the life of mine plan, as well as estimates of future metal prices, production, costs, and economic assumptions around inflation rates and discount rates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

(iii)
Cost of sales and valuation of leach pad inventory
In determining cost of sales recognized in the consolidated statements of loss, we make estimates of quantities of ore stacked on leach pads and in process, and the recoverable gold in this material to determine the average costs of inventory sold during the period. Changes in these estimates can result in a change in cost of sales of future periods and carrying amounts of inventory.

(iv)
Estimated recoverable ounces
The carrying amounts of our mineral properties are depleted based on recoverable ounces contained in proven and probable mineral reserves. Changes to estimates of recoverable ounces and depletable costs including changes resulting from revisions to our mine plans and changes in metal price forecasts can result in a change to future depletion rates.

c)Pronouncements affecting our financial statements presentation or disclosure
The following new and amended IFRS pronouncements were adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Levies imposed by governments
IFRIC 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments, was effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. This did not have any significant impact on our current accounting for levies imposed by governments.
Impairment of assets
IAS 36, Impairment of assets, was amended to clarify disclosure requirements when recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less costs of disposal. The amendment was effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014 and does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from contracts with customers
The IASB has replaced IAS 18 - Revenue in its entirety with IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) which is intended to establish a new control-based revenue recognition model and change the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognized over time or at a point in time. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard is expected to have on our financial statements.


3.
PURCHASE OF MARIGOLD MINE

On April 4, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Marigold mine, an open pit operating gold mine in Nevada, USA, from subsidiaries of Goldcorp Inc. and Barrick Gold Corporation for a purchase price of $275,000,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we settled post-closing adjustments with the sellers that resulted in an adjustment in favor of us of $7,268,000 for total cash consideration of $267,732,000. The acquisition of Marigold accomplishes our strategic goal of adding an operating mine in a well-established, low-risk mining jurisdiction. The purchase price was paid in cash from our existing cash on hand. In addition, we pledged cash of $15,750,000 million to support the bonding requirements for Marigold’s long term environmental and reclamation obligations.

The acquisition is a business combination and has been accounted for in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions of IFRS 3, Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires that the purchase consideration be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

3.
PURCHASE OF MARIGOLD MINE (Cont'd)

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair values are determined based on third party appraisals, discounted cash flow models, and quoted market prices, as deemed appropriate. This allocation is preliminary in nature as we are in the process of finalizing certain fair value assumptions, and this allocation may require adjustment in future periods. Acquisition costs, in the form of advisory, legal and other professional fees, which were associated with the transaction to acquire Marigold were expensed as incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $5,036,000.

The following table shows the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimates of fair value, including a summary of major classes of consideration transferred, and the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Had the Marigold mine been consolidated from the start of January 1, 2014, our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 would have been approximately $143,659,000 and our consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 would have been $23,851,000.

Following reviews of our exploration and development property portfolio, we concluded that certain exploration properties had no future value and were written off.

On December 19, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our 100% interest in the Challacollo project in Chile. As such, the project was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013 and removed from exploration and development expenditure.

Sale of Challacollo
On February 6, 2014, we completed the sale of our 100% interest in the Challacollo project located in Chile to Mandalay. Under the terms of the agreement, the total aggregate consideration was comprised of $7,500,000 in cash, 12,000,000 common shares of Mandalay with the fair value of $9,188,000, deferred consideration of 5,000,000 common of shares of Mandalay issued at the end of the first quarter in which commercial production has commenced, and cash equivalent of 240,000 ounces of silver paid in eight quarterly installments (based on the average quarterly silver price) beginning the quarter immediately following the quarter in which commercial production has commenced. In addition, we received a 2% net smelter return royalty on silver sales in excess of 36 million ounces, up to a maximum of $5,000,000 from the project. The fair value of consideration received was $18,644,000 and we recorded a gain on the sale of this mineral property of $9,240,000 before tax expense of $1,773,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold all of the Mandalay shares received for proceeds of $9,279,000 recognizing a loss on disposal of $112,000.

VAT paid in Argentina in relation to the Pirquitas mine became recoverable under Argentine law once the mine reached the production stage and we apply to the Argentine government to recover the applicable VAT on an ongoing basis. There have, at times, been significant delays in obtaining final approvals and, therefore, the collection of VAT and the classification reflects best estimates of timing of recoveries. Despite the procedural delays, we believe that the remaining balance is fully recoverable and have not provided an allowance.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On January 16, 2013, we sold $265,000,000 in senior convertible unsecured notes (the "Notes") for net proceeds of $256,083,000 after payment of commissions and expenses related to the offering. The Notes mature on February 1, 2033 and bear an interest rate of 2.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Notes are convertible into our common shares at a fixed conversion rate, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur to us, holders of the Notes may be entitled to an increased conversion rate. The Notes are convertible into our common shares at an initial conversion rate of 50 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, representing an initial conversion price of $20.00 per common share.

We may not redeem the Notes before February 1, 2018, except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after February 1, 2018, but before February 1, 2020, we may redeem all or part of the Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale price of our common shares for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 130% of the conversion price. On or after February 1, 2020, we may redeem the Notes in full or in part, for cash.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES (Cont'd)

Holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or part of their Notes on February 1 of each of 2020, 2023 and 2028, or upon certain fundamental corporate changes. The repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being converted, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

At initial recognition, the net proceeds of the Notes were bifurcated into its debt and equity components. The fair value of the debt portion of $178,358,000 was estimated using a discounted cash flow model method based on an expected life of seven years and a discount rate of 8.5%. The residual of $77,723,000 ($68,347,000 net of deferred tax) was allocated to equity. The Notes had a fair value of $224,959,000 as at June 30, 2014.

The debt portion has been designated as an 'other financial liability' and is recorded at amortized cost, net of transaction costs, and is accreted over the expected life using the effective interest method.

The movement in the debt portion of the Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 comprised of the following:

We entered into a fiscal stability agreement (the “Fiscal Agreement”) with the Federal Government of Argentina in 1998 for production from the Pirquitas mine. In December 2007, the National Customs Authority of Argentina (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas) levied an export duty of approximately 10% from concentrates for projects with fiscal stability agreements pre-dating 2002. The Federal Government asserts that the Pirquitas mine is subject to this export duty despite contrary rights detailed under the Fiscal Agreement. We have challenged the legality of the export duty applied to silver concentrates and the matter is currently under review by the Federal Court (Jujuy) in Argentina. The Federal Court (Jujuy) granted an injunction in our favor effective September 29, 2010 that prohibited the Federal Government from withholding the 10% export duty on silver concentrates (the “Injunction”), pending the decision of the courts with respect to our challenge of the legality of the application of the export duty. The Injunction was appealed by the Federal Government but upheld by each of the Federal Court of Appeal (Salta) on December 5, 2012 and the Federal Supreme Court of Argentina on September 17, 2013. The Federal Government also appealed the refund we claimed for the export duties paid before the Injunction, as well as matters of procedure related to the uncertainty of the amount reclaimed; however, on May 3, 2013, such appeal was dismissed by the Federal Court of Appeal (Salta).

As of June 30, 2014, we have paid $6,646,000 in export duties, against which it has filed for recovery. In accordance with the Injunction, we have not been paying export duties on silver concentrates but continue to accrue duties in full until the outcome of our challenge of the legality of the application of the export duty is known with certainty. However, the Federal Government has enacted legislation limiting the term of effectiveness of injunctions ordered against it, and we are assessing the potential impact of such legislation on the Injunction, including as it relates to the payment of any accrued export duties. As at June 30, 2014, we have accrued a liability totaling $51,667,000 (December 31, 2013 - $48,169,000), with a corresponding increase in cost of sales in the relevant period. If this export duty is successfully overturned, the benefit will be recognized in the consolidated statement of (loss) income for the full amount of paid and unpaid duty in the period that recovery becomes virtually certain.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

We are a resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of precious metal projects in the Americas.

An operating segment is defined as a component:
that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s chief operating decision maker; and
for which discrete financial information is available.

We have identified operating segments based on the information used by our President and Chief Executive Officer (who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker) to manage the business. We primarily manage our business by looking at individual resource projects and typically segregate these projects between production, development and exploration.

For reporting purposes, exploration and development projects have been aggregated into a single reportable segment ‘exploration and development properties’ where they all have similar characteristics and do not exceed the quantitative thresholds for individual disclosure. The Pitarrilla project which, as of June 30, 2014, exceeds 10% of our total assets, has therefore been disclosed separately as a component.

The corporate division earns income that is considered incidental to our activities and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment. Consequently, the following reporting segments have been identified:
Pirquitas mine;
Marigold mine;
Pitarrilla project; and
Other exploration and development properties.

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Marketable securities, consisting of available-for-sale investments with no trading restrictions are valued using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices in an active market obtained from securities exchanges. The fair value disclosed for our convertible notes is also included in Level 1, as the basis of valuation uses a quoted price in an active market.

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

Marketable securities with certain trading restrictions and derivative instruments are included in Level 2, as are trade receivables from provisional invoices for concentrate sales, as the basis of valuation uses quoted commodity prices.

Our derivative asset is recognized on equity collars. The fair value of the hedge is calculated using a model which utilizes a combination of quoted prices and market-derived inputs, including volatility estimates.

Accrued liabilities relating to DSUs, RSUs, and PSUs are included in Level 2, as the basis of valuation uses quoted prices in active markets.

Level 3 – inputs for an asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The deferred consideration from the sale of the Challacollo project (note 7) is included in Level 3, as certain assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value are not based on observable market data as detailed in Note 2.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or transfers into and out of Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
