NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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 Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), the NYSE MKT and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.

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 consolidated 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 June 30, 2014:

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, IAS 18 – Revenue, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 – Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive five-step framework for the timing and measurement of revenue recognition. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

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.

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, 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:

Financial Instruments (continued)

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, investments in related and other companies, and warrant liability as FVTPL. 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.

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 June 30, 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 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 La Platosa properties

The Unification La Platosa properties, consisting of three leased concessions in addition to the leased concession described in note (i) above, 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.

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 at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model.

A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the periods is as follows:

WARRANT LIABILITY (continued)

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 June 30, 2014 is a present value of $1,960,658 (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 begin in 2019 for San Gonzalo and in 2023 for the Avino Mine. The undiscounted value of the obligation is $2,413,238 (December 31, 2013 - $2,274,153).

(ii) 
On February 21, 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 $5,566,504 (US$5,000,000). Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of a transferrable share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant is exercisable at a price of US$2.87 per warrant into one-half of a common 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 20 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 $1,295,647 fair value of the warrants 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 $559,614 with respect to this private placement.

(d)
Stock options:

The Company has a stock option plan to purchase the Company’s common shares under which it may grant stock options of up to 10% of the Company’s total number of shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, accounts receivable, amounts due to related party, and accounts 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 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’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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2014 in the amount of $13,600,435 (December 31, 2013 - $3,839,595) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At June 30, 2014, the Company had current liabilities of $3,800,353 (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.

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 cash flow 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:
 
   
June 30, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
   
MXN
   
USD
   
MXN
   
USD
 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 5,633,208     $ 8,886,397     $ 6,166,837     $ 2,508,191  
Amounts receivable
    654,536       1,393,492       1,897,963       1,197,766  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    (12,473,591 )     (500,099 )     (10,149,263 )     (408,427 )
Warrant liability
    -       (940,082 )     -       -  
Finance lease obligations
    -       (2,650,713 )     -       (1,579,402 )
Net exposure
    (6,185,847 )     6,188,995       (2,084,463 )     1,718,128  
Canadian dollar equivalent
  $ (508,477 )   $ 6,603,658     $ (169,238 )   $ 1,827,401  

Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2014, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 by approximately $609,518 (December 31, 2013 - $131,289). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

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)

 
(c) 
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 June 30, 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 $405,671 (December 31, 2013 - $383,094), and a 10% change in the market price of gold would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $150,840 (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 certain of 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 June 30, 2014, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $12,436 (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.

 
(d) 
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 June 30, 2014:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Proposed Acquisition of Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. – On August 1, 2014, the Company signed an arrangement agreement with Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (“Bralorne”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Bralorne which the Company does not already own by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Bralorne holds an undivided 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Bralorne gold mine project in British Columbia.

The Company currently holds 9,679,149 Bralorne common shares, representing approximately 34% of Bralorne’s issued and outstanding common shares as of August 20, 2014. 9,500,000 shares at a price of $0.28 per share were purchased from a third party on July 9, 2014, and the Company previously held 179,149 shares for investment purposes (see Note 6).

Under the terms of the arrangement agreement, Bralorne shareholders would receive 0.14 of an Avino share for each Bralorne share, with any fractions rounded down to the nearest whole share, and with any unexercised options being cancelled in connection with the arrangement. Based on the 28,513,844 Bralorne shares currently outstanding, and the 9,679,149 Bralorne shares currently held, the Company would issue 2,636,857 common shares to complete the acquisition of Bralorne.

The transaction and plan of arrangement are subject to approval by the shareholders and optionholders of Bralorne voting as a single class, at an annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled for October 9, 2014. The transaction is also subject to receipt of all necessary approvals from the TSX-V and the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia after a hearing as to the fairness of the arrangement. Upon completion of the transaction, Bralorne would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

With the acceptance of the TSX-V, and to provide Bralorne with required working capital pending completion of the arrangement, Avino has also agreed to loan to Bralorne up to $1,250,000, consisting of an initial advance of $500,000 (which was made in July 2014), and up to $750,000 upon the delivery of a mutually agreeable budget, of which $450,000 was advanced on August 15, 2014. All advances will bear interest at 12 per cent per annum payable on maturity, and will mature 30 days after demand, which may be made at any time after October 31, 2014. The principal amount and any accrued interest have been secured by a general security agreement against all of the assets of Bralorne.

Shelf prospectus share offering – Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company received net proceeds of $666,059 (US$619,483), after commissions of $20,600 (US$19,159), in respect of common shares issued pursuant to an at-the-market prospectus offering under the Company’s U.S. shelf registration statement.

Exercise of options - Subsequent to June 30, 2014, 112,000 stock options were exercised for gross proceeds of $146,740.

Mineral property option agreement – On July 28, 2014, the Company’s option and joint venture agreement with Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour”) was terminated. The agreement had provided for Endeavour to earn up to a 75% interest in the Company’s El Laberinto property by incurring exploration expenditures of US$3,000,000 and making option payments of US$200,000 through July 30, 2016. Up to the termination date, Endeavour had met its obligations by incurring exploration expenditures of at least US$300,000 and making option payments of US$50,000.
