1. 
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “Avino”) was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver and gold, and the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties.
 
The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States and trades on the TSX-V, NYSE MKT and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.
 
The Company owns interests in mineral properties located in Durango, Mexico as well as in British Columbia and the Yukon, Canada. On October 1, 2012, the Company commenced production of silver and gold at levels intended by management at its San Gonzalo mine in the state of Durango, Mexico.
 
2. 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company, except for the accounting policies which have changed as a result of the adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations which are effective January 1, 2014. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2013 annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
 
The mandatory adoption of the following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations on January 1, 2014 had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the periods presented:
 
IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets
In May 2013, the IASB issued an amendment to address the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets or a CGU for periods in which an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. The amendments also address disclosure requirements applicable when an asset’s or a CGU’s recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.
 
IFRIC 21 – Levies
In May 2013, the IASB issued 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. 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.
 
The following accounting standards were issued but not yet effective as of March 31, 2014:
 
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which is intended to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of financial instruments. In February 2014, the IASB tentatively determined that the revised effective date for IFRS 9 would be January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

Annual improvements
In December 2013, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles to make necessary but non-urgent amendments to existing standards. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014; however, these amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Mexican subsidiaries as follows:

Nature of Operations
Oniva Silver and Gold Mines S.A. de C.V.

1.27% indirect (Promotora)
99.66% effective
 
Mexico
 
Mining and exploration
 
 
Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

On June 4, 2013, the Company converted existing loans advanced to Avino Mexico into new additional shares, resulting in an increase of the Company’s ownership by 0.38% to an effective 99.66%. The intercompany loans and investments are eliminated upon consolidation of the financial statements. The Company had a pre-existing effective ownership interest of 99.28% in Avino Mexico prior to the 0.38% increase. The issuance of shares to the Company by Avino Mexico on June 4, 2013 resulted in a reduction in the non-controlling interest from 0.72% to 0.34%.

Financial Instruments

All financial assets are initially recorded at fair value and classified into one of four categories: held to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivables, or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and classified as either FVTPL or other financial liabilities. Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, sales taxes recoverable, accounts receivable, investments in related and other companies, reclamation bonds, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, warrant liability, and finance lease obligations. At initial recognition management has classified financial assets and liabilities as follows:

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, investments in related and other companies, and warrant liability as FVTPL. Sales taxes recoverable, accounts receivable, and reclamation bonds are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and finance lease obligations are classified as other financial liabilities.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
 
Financial Instruments (continued)

Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets are measured in accordance with the following:
 
 
(i)  
Financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. All gains and losses resulting from changes in their fair value are included in net income (loss) in the period in which they arise.

 
(ii)  
Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums or discounts and transaction costs are amortized into net income (loss), using the effective interest method less any impairment.
 
 
(iii)  
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income until the asset is realized, at which time they will be recorded in net income (loss). Other than temporary impairments on available-for-sale financial assets are recorded in net income (loss).
 
 
Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial liabilities are measured in accordance with the following:
 
 
(i)  
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

 
(ii)  
Financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized in net income (loss). At March 31, 2014, the Company classified share purchase warrants with an exercise price in U.S. dollars (see note 8) as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. As these warrants are exercised, the fair value of the recorded warrant liability on date of exercise is included in share capital along with the proceeds from the exercise. If these warrants expire, the related decrease in warrant liability is recognized in net income (loss).
 
 
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies to the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of the impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period from uncertain future events and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)
 
 
Additional information on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties by region is as follows:
 
 
(a)  
Durango, Mexico
 
The Company’s subsidiary Avino Mexico owns 42 mineral claims, and leases 4 mineral claims under leased concessions in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Company’s mineral claims in Mexico are divided into the following four groups:

(i)        Avino mine area property

The Avino mine area property is situated around the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the historic Avino mine site. There are four exploration concessions covering 154.4 hectares, 24 exploitation concessions covering 1,284.7 hectares, and one leased exploitation concession covering 98.83 hectares.  Within the Avino mine site area is the Company’s San Gonzalo mine which achieved production levels intended by management as of October 1, 2012, and on that date accumulated exploration and evaluation costs for the San Gonzalo mine were transferred to mining properties.
 
 
 
(ii)       Gomez Palacio property
 
The Gomez Palacio property is located near the town of Gomez Palacio, and consists of nine exploration concessions covering 2,549 hectares.

(iii)      Santiago Papasquiaro property
 
The Santiago Papasquiaro property is located near the village of Papasquiaro, and consists of four exploration concessions covering 2,552.6 hectares and one exploitation concession covering 602.9 hectares.

(iv)      Unification Las Platosa properties
 
The Unification Las Platosa properties are situated within the Avino mine area property around the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the formerly producing Avino mine.
 
In February 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary entered into a new agreement with Minerales de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales”) whereby Minerales has indirectly granted to the Company the exclusive right to explore and mine the La Platosa property known as the “ET zone”.
 
Under the agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive right to explore and mine the property for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to extend the agreement for another 5 years. In consideration of the granting of these rights, the Company issued 135,189 common shares with a fair value of $250,100.
 
The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns (“NSR”) at the commencement of commercial production from the property. In addition, after the development period, if the minimum monthly processing rate of the mine facilities is less than 15,000 tonnes, then the Company must pay to Minerales a minimum royalty equal to the applicable NSR royalty based on processing at a monthly rate of 15,000 tonnes.
 
Minerales has also granted to the Company the exclusive right to purchase a 100% interest in the property at any time during the term of the agreement (or any renewal thereof), upon payment of US$8 million within 15 days of the Company’s notice of election to acquire the property. The purchase would be subject to a separate purchase agreement for the legal transfer of the property.

8.
WARRANT LIABILITY
 
The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in U.S. dollars. As the denomination is different from the Canadian dollar, functional currency of the entity issuing the underlying shares, the Company recognizes a derivative liability for these warrants and re-measures the liability each period using the Black-Scholes model.
 
A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the periods is as follows:

As at March 31, 2014, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 2.90 years.
 
Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing warrants is based on volatility observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values:

RECLAMATION PROVISION
 
Management’s estimate of the reclamation provision at March 31, 2014 is a present value of $1,920,959 (December 31, 2013 - $1,833,938). The present value of the obligation was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 7% (December 31, 2013 – 7%) and an inflation rate of 4.25% (December 31, 2013 – 4.25%).  Reclamation activities are estimated to occur in the years beginning in 2019 for San Gonzalo and in 2023 for the Avino Mine.  The undiscounted value of the obligation is $2,405,543 (December 31, 2013 - $2,274,153).

SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

 
(ii)  
On February 26, 2014, the Company closed a brokered private placement issuing 2,066,117 units at a price of $2.69 (US$2.42) per unit for gross proceeds of $5,566,503 (US$5,000,000). Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half transferrable share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant is exercisable for a term of three years into one-half common share at a price of US$2.87 per share until February 25, 2017. If the volume weighted average closing market price for the Company's common shares on the NYSE MKT is greater than USD$6.85 per share for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, then the Company may deliver a notice to the warrant holder notifying such holder that the warrants must be exercised within 30 days from the date of delivery of such notice, otherwise the warrants will expire on the thirty-first day after the date of delivery of the notice.
 
Of the $5,566,503 total aggregate proceeds raised in this financing, the fair value of the warrants of $1,295,647 was attributed to warrant liability and the residual amount of $4,270,856 was attributed to common shares (note 8).
 
The Company incurred share issuance costs of $556,614 with respect to this private placement.

COMMITMENTS (continued)
 
In February 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire processing equipment and related parts with a total value of $463,190 (€298,313). The Company paid a deposit of $87,106 (€56,100) and issued a letter of credit for the remaining balance of $376,084 (€242,213). The Company expects to receive the equipment in June 2014.

On March 28, 2014, the Company committed to enter into two new finance leases with Caterpillar Finance. The new equipment will be used for mining operations in Mexico. The leases are for a term of 36 months and bear interest at rate of 4.5% per annum. The Company’s obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. The Company paid down payments of $324,792 (US$293,558) in April 2014, and will finance the balance of $1,299,169 (US$1,174,231) over the term of the lease.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, sales taxes recoverable, accounts receivable, amounts due to related party, accounts payable, and income taxes payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of investments in related and other companies are based on quoted market prices.
 
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.

 
(a)  
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents, sales taxes recoverable, and accounts receivable.
 
The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and cash equivalents, by maintaining the majority of cash at highly rated financial institutions.
 
The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with one counterparty and all of its stockpile sales are with one other counterparty. However, the Company has not recorded any allowance against its trade receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in full when due (typically within 60 days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties.
 
The Company also has credit risk in respect of its sales taxes recoverable, which are due from the governments of Mexico and Canada. The balances are expected to be recoverable in full due to the Company’s previous collection history and the nature of the counterparties.
 
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. At March 31, 2014, no amounts were held as collateral.
 
 
(b)  
Liquidity Risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company had cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 in the amount of $15,199,333 (December 31, 2013 - $3,839,595) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At March 31, 2014, the Company had current liabilities of $2,939,781 (December 31, 2013 - $2,196,172). Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The current portion of finance lease obligations is due within 12 months of the consolidated statement of financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment. Current income taxes are payable within 12 months.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 
(c)  
Market Risk
 
Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
 
 
(i)
To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
 
 
(ii)
To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.
 
 
  
In management’s opinion, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as the Company’s finance lease obligations bear interest at fixed rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican Pesos and US dollars:
 
   
March 31, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
   
MXN
   
USD

Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 13,825,428     $ 11,592,251     $ 6,166,837     $ 2,508,191  
Sales taxes recoverable
    4,861,299       -       3,599,484       -  
Amounts receivable
    77,098       2,110,061       1,897,963       1,197,766  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    (16,866,234 )     (400,969 )     (10,149,263 )     (408,427 )
Finance lease obligations
    -       (1,504,772 )     -       (1,579,402 )
Net exposure
    1,897,591       11,796,571       1,515,021       1,718,128  
Canadian dollar equivalent
  $ 160,669     $ 13,041,109     $ 123,004     $ 1,827,401  
 
 
  
Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at March 31, 2014, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 by approximately $1,352,385 (December 31, 2013 - $220,137). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
 
 
(d)  
Price Risk 
 
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 
(d)  
Price Risk (continued)
 
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its accounts receivable, as certain trade accounts receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging strategies to limit its exposure to price risk. At March 31, 2014, based on outstanding accounts receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in the market price of silver would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $347,657 (December 31, 2013 - $383,094), and a 10% change in the market price of gold would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $130,949 (December 31, 2013 - $125,612).
 
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its investments in related companies and its investments in other companies as these investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses being recognized in net income (loss). At March 31, 2014, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $10,720 (December 31, 2013 - $14,904).
 
The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund mineral resource exploration is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
 
 
(e)  
Classification of Financial Instruments
 
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
 
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2014:
