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 Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), the 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.

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 and July 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.

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 on July 1, 2014.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

The following accounting standards were issued but not yet effective as of September 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.

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.

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%.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Investment in Associate

The Company defines an associate as an entity over which it has significant influence, but not control, that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Company’s investment in associate is accounted for by the equity method. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter to record the Company’s share of postacquisition earnings or loss of the investee as if the investee had been consolidated. The carrying value of the investment is also increased or decreased to reflect the Company’s share of capital transactions, including amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (if any).

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, amounts receivable, loan 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, investments in related and other companies, and warrant liability as FVTPL. Amounts receivable, loan 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, 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, 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.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 
(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 September 30, 2014, the Company classified share purchase warrants with an exercise price in U.S. dollars (see note 10) 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.

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. With respect to the investment in associate which was made during the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company carries its investment at cost and adjusts for its share of earnings and capital transactions of the investee. The Company reviews the carrying value of the investment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. In undertaking this review, the Company makes reference to the investee’s financial circumstances and to the prevailing technological, market, economic, and legal environments in which the investee operates. The review would generally include a consideration of assumptions made with respect to the investee’s anticipated operating and capital costs and with respect to metals prices. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the carrying values of the investment.

3.
LOAN RECEIVABLE

In July 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan”) with Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (“Bralorne”), under which the Company agreed to lend an aggregate of $1,250,000 to Bralorne. The principal amount of the Loan accrues interest, calculated from the date of advance, at a rate of 12.0% per annum. The Loan, including principal, accrued interest, and other expenses, costs or charges payable thereunder is due and payable by Bralorne 30 days after demand is made after October 31, 2014. The Loan is secured by a general security interest over all of the present and future assets of Bralorne. At September 30, 2014, the Company had advanced the full amount of $1,250,000 to Bralorne.

As described in Note 20, on October 20, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining common shares of Bralorne it did not already own. As a result of the acquisition, Bralorne became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the loan receivable will therefore be eliminated on consolidation in subsequent consolidated financial statements.

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”.

5.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)
 
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.

 
(b) 
British Columbia, Canada

The Company’s mineral claims in British Columbia encompass two properties, Minto and Olympic-Kelvin, each of which consists of 100% owned Crown-granted mineral claims located in the Lillooet Mining Division.

 
(c) 
Yukon, Canada

The Company has a 100% interest in 14 quartz leases located in the Mayo Mining Division of Yukon, Canada which collectively comprise the Eagle property. In January 2012, the Company entered into an option agreement on the Eagle property, under which the optionee is required to make cash payments, incur exploration expenditures, and issue shares to the Company in order to earn a 75% interest in 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.

As at September 30, 2014, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 2.39 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 September 30, 2014 is a present value of $1,988,897 (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 $2,406,600 (December 31, 2013 - $2,274,153).

A reconciliation of the changes in the reclamation provision during the periods is as follows:

19. 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, loan 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, amounts receivable, and loan 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 is also exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its loan receivable. The Company has not recorded any allowance against its loan receivable because of the nature of the counterparty and the completion of the acquisition of the counterparty subsequent to September 30, 2014 (Note 20).

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 September 30, 2014, no amounts were held as collateral.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
 
 
(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 September 30, 2014 in the amount of $8,823,969 (December 31, 2013 - $3,839,595) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At September 30, 2014, the Company had current liabilities of $4,602,323 (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.

 
(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:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

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.

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 September 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 $283,056 (December 31, 2013 - $383,094), and a 10% change in the market price of gold would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $101,690 (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 September 30, 2014, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings of approximately $6,248 (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.

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 September 30, 2014:
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3
