2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

 

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 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, 2016. 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, 2015 annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as if the policies have always been in effect.

 

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2016 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Effective April 1, 2016, management determined that the Avino Mine, located in the "ET zone" on the La Platosa property, had commenced production at levels intended by management, as explained in the section "commencement of production at levels intended by management" below.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

 

 

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)

 

Commencement of production at levels intended by management

 

Prior to reaching production levels intended by management, costs incurred are capitalized as part of the costs of related exploration and evaluation assets, and proceeds from concentrate sales are offset against costs capitalized. Depletion of capitalized costs for mining properties and depreciation of plant and equipment begin when operating levels intended by management have been reached. Management considers several factors in determining when a mining property has reached the intended production levels, including production capacity, recoveries, and number of uninterrupted production days. The results of operations of the Company during the periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been impacted by management's determination that the Avino Mine had achieved production levels intended by management as of April 1, 2016.

 

The basis for achievement of production levels intended by management as indicated by technical feasibility and commercial viability is generally established with proven reserves based on a NI 43-101-compliant technical report or a comparable resource statement and feasibility study, combined with pre-production operating statistics and other factors. In cases where the Company does not have a NI 43-101-compliant reserve report on which to base a production decision, such as with the Avino Mine, the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are considered in light of additional factors including but not limited to:

 

·Acquisition and installation of all critical capital components to achieve desired mining and processing results has been completed. Capital components have been acquired directly and are also available on an as-needed basis from the underground mining contractor;

  

 

·The necessary labour force, including mining contractors, has been secured to mine and process at planned levels of output;

  

 

·The mill has consistently processed at levels above design capacity and budgeted production levels with consistent recoveries and grades; and,

  

 

·The Company has entered into a long-term sales agreement for Avino Mine concentrates.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

 

 

Basis of Consolidation (continued)

 

Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 20, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. ("Bralorne").

 

On August 26, 2015, the Company converted existing loans advanced to Avino Mexico into new additional shares, resulting in an increase of the Company's ownership by 0.01% to an effective 99.67%. The intercompany loans and investments are eliminated upon consolidation of the financial statements. The Company had a pre-existing effective ownership interest of 99.66% in Avino Mexico prior to the 0.01% increase. The issuance of shares to the Company by Avino Mexico on August 26, 2015, resulted in a reduction in the non-controlling interest from 0.34% to 0.33%.

 

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, amounts receivable, investments in related and other companies, reclamation bonds, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and finance lease obligations.

 

The Company has classified its cash, investments, and derivative liabilities as FVTPL. Amounts receivable and reclamation bonds are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, term facility, equipment loans 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 (loss) 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.

Financial Instruments (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 June 30, 2016, the Company classified share purchase warrants with an exercise price in U.S. dollars (see Note 13) as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. As these warrants are exercised, the fair value of the recorded derivative 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 the derivative liability is recognized in net income (loss).

 

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following accounting standards were issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2016:

 

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, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its condensed consolidated interim 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. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosure

 

IFRS 7 was amended to require additional disclosures on transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The standard is effective on adoption of IFRS 9, which is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard is expected to have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

IFRS 16 was issued on January 13, 2016, and will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided the Company has adopted IFRS 15. This standard sets out a new model for lease accounting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard is expected to have on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Annual improvements

 

In September 2014, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements 2012-2014 cycle, effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016. These annual improvements made necessary but non-urgent amendments to existing IFRSs. These amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

5.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". The ET zone includes the Avino Mine, where production at levels intended by management was achieved on April 1, 2016.

 

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 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns ("NSR") at the commencement of production from the property. In addition, after the start of production, 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.

5.EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

 

 

(a)Durango, Mexico (continued)

 

 

(iv)Unification La Platosa properties (continued)

 

 

 

 

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.

 

The Company commenced production at levels intended by management at the Avino Mine on April 1, 2016. In connection with the transition to production at levels intended by management the Company assessed the $8,679,262 estimated carrying value of Avino Mine exploration and evaluation assets for impairment, and subsequently transferred the carrying value to inventory in the amount of $3,408,766 and to mining properties in the amount of $5,270,496.

 

In the periods before production at levels intended by management had been achieved, the Company recorded in its consolidated statement of financial position the costs of extracting and processing mineralized material from the Avino Mine as exploration and evaluation costs, and recorded a reduction to the carrying value of those costs for any proceeds from sales of Avino Mine concentrate. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reduced its exploration and evaluation costs in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position by $5,994,516 (US$4,640,796) for sales of 2,603 tonnes of Avino Mine copper/silver/gold concentrate, prior to commencing production at levels intended by management on April 1, 2016.

 

 

(b)British Columbia, Canada

 

 

(i)Bralorne Mine

 

 

 

 

The Company owns a 100% undivided interest in certain mineral properties located in the Lillooet Mining Division. There is an underlying agreement on 12 crown grants in which the Company is required to pay 1.6385% of Net Smelter Proceeds of Production from the claims, and pay fifty cents ($0.50) per ton of ore produced from these claims if the ore grade exceeds 0.75 ounces per ton gold.

 

 

(ii)Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties

 

 

 

 

The Company's mineral claims in British Columbia encompass two additional 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. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the optionee withdrew from the option agreement, and the entire interest in the property reverted back to the Company.

6.NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

 

 

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company had an effective 99.67% (December 31, 2015 - 99.67%) interest in its subsidiary Avino Mexico and the remaining 0.33% (December 31, 2015 - 0.33%) interest represents a non-controlling interest. The accumulated deficit and current period income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest are insignificant and accordingly have not been recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

13.WARRANT LIABILITIES

 

 

 

The Company's warrant liabilities arise 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 liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:

As at June 30, 2016, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 0.73 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:

14.RECLAMATION PROVISION

 

 

 

Management's estimate of the reclamation provision at June 30, 2016 is $5,614,642 (December 31, 2015 - $6,047,369), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $6,498,210 (December 31, 2015 - $6,790,812.)

 

The present value of the obligation in Mexico was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 7% (December 31, 2015 – 7%) and an inflation rate of 4.25% (December 31, 2015 – 4.25%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2019 for San Gonzalo and in 2028 for the Avino Mine.

 

The present value of the obligation for Bralorne was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 3% (December 31, 2015 – 3%) and an inflation rate of 2.45% (December 31, 2015 – 2.45%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2021.

(e)Restricted Share Units:

 

 

 

 

On May 27, 2016, the Company's Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan was approved by its shareholders. The RSU Plan is administered by the compensation committee under the supervision of the board of directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The compensation committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including any performance criteria or vesting period.

 

Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives common shares.

 

The plan as approved allows for the issuance of up to 870,560 RSUs. As at June 30, 2016, no RSUs had been granted.

20.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

 

 

The fair values of the Company's cash, amounts receivable, amounts due to related parties, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of the Company's term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair values based on current market rates for similar financial instruments.

 

The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.

20.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

 

(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 amounts receivable.

 

The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, 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 two counterparties. 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, 2016, 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 at June 30, 2016 in the amount of $10,665,086 (December 31, 2015 - $7,475,134) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At June 30, 2016, the Company had current liabilities of $8,344,602 (December 31, 2015 - $14,044,216). 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 portions of the term facility, the equipment loans, and the finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment.

 

The maturity profiles of the Company's contractual obligations and commitments as at June 30, 2016 are summarized as follows:

20.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:

Based on the net Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2016, a 10% fluctuation in the Canadian/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company's earnings (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 by approximately $780,690 (December 31, 2015 - $981,899). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

20.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

 

(c)Market 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.

 

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, 2016, based on outstanding accounts receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $180,104 (December 31, 2015 - $481,448).

 

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its investments 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, 2016, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $3,810 (December 31, 2015 - $3,871).

 

The Company's profitability and ability to raise capital to fund mineral resource exploration and mining activities 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, 2016:

 

 

 

Level 1

 

 

Level 2

 

 

Level 3
