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&#8217;s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. </p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"> <table id="pagebreakba8d021c-ad9e-4afc-b142-785139585bb6" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">- 6 -</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cols="1" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0"> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>AVINO SILVER &amp; GOLD MINES LTD.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">(Expressed in US dollars, except where otherwise noted)</p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"> <table style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="4%"><b>2.</b></td> <td valign="top"><b>BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)</b></td></tr> <tr height="15"> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company&#8217;s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company&#8217;s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the change in presentation currency as described above and in Note 4. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Basis of Consolidation</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries as follows: </p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center" border="0"> <tr height="15"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="bottom"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Subsidiary</b></p></td> <td width="1%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="bottom" width="25%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b>Ownership Interest</b></p></td> <td width="1%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="bottom" width="15%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b>Jurisdiction</b></p></td> <td width="1%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="bottom" width="25%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b>Nature of Operations</b></p></td></tr> <tr height="15" bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Oniva Silver and Gold Mines S.A. de C.V.</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td valign="top"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">100%</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td valign="top"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Mexico</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td valign="top"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">Mexican operations and administration</p></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr height="15" bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Promotora Avino, S.A. de C.V.

The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo resource, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012. This approach is being applied for the Avino Mine, for which similar risks and uncertainties have been identified.</i></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>San Gonzalo Mine

The original phased plan was for the future start-up of a small tonnage operation, and during the course of work being completed, our onsite consultants have identified ground and safety issues in the existing 800 level tunnel. It was determined that the 800 level needed rehabilitative work, and consultants were engaged to review and develop a plan for the repairs. In view of the proposed repairs, which would have restricted mine throughput, the construction of a new tunnel on the 800 level, which was originally included in a later phase, is now being considered to start earlier. The consultant&#8217;s recommendations are to construct a new tunnel on the 800 level, due to the age and limiting size of the original main access tunnel. The future construction of a new 800 tunnel should allow earlier access to the resources below the 800 level.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The recommended new 800 level tunnel would be sized for mechanized equipment (4.5 metres x 4.5 metres) for the long term development of the mine to depth. It would be near the mill, and replace the old 800 tunnel (2.5 metres x 2.5 metres) which was only accessible by small track equipment. The old tunnel would be made safe and would still be used for ventilation, secondary egress, and mine water drainage.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The proposed new mine plan also contemplates testing a different mining method, sub level long hole retreat mining on veins where the hanging wall, foot wall, and mineralization are conducive to this method, which should be safer and more productive than the shrinkage and cut &amp; fill mining methods used in the past. Combined with the larger new tunnel, the mining operation should be more mechanized and efficient than in the past.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Underground Drill Program and Surface Exploration</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">A surface and underground drill program is planned for the fall pending receipt of the M207 permit. An underground drill program will be carried out to better define the resources above and below the 800 level. The surface drill program will be designed to better define the resources near surface. Both programs will also be aimed at expanding the resources. Garth Kirkham, P.

The Permit Amendment provides a comprehensive and responsible permit which is updated to modern environmental and permitting standards, and is an important step in the Company&#8217;s strategic plan to re-open the Bralorne Gold Mine. With the receipt of this modern permit the Company anticipates an easier and quicker transition to an amended permit that will allow for future expansion. A surface and underground drill program is now being planned to update and increase the confidence in the resource base.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreakeecc1a4c-97c2-4933-8edc-42af54ee2341" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: right">9 | Page</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="100%" border="0"> <tr height="15"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="middle" width="12%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><img src="avino_ex992img2.jpg"></p></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="middle" width="45%"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="left"><b style="MARGIN: 0px"><font size="5">AVINO SILVER &amp;</font></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><font size="5">GOLD MINES LTD.</font></b></p></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid" valign="middle"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="right"><b>MANAGEMENT&#8217;S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="right"><b>FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017</b></p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Processing Plant and Infrastructure</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">During this past year, an independent consulting engineering firm has reviewed the processing plant and infrastructure to determine which buildings and equipment should be replaced.

Accordingly, new or refurbished equipment is being proposed for the processing plant. A separate crushing building is being considered for the plant, with separate fine ore storage, which will provide more space in the current mill building for the larger equipment being considered. The buildings will either be upgraded to meet the current required capacity, or they will be removed / demolished, and replaced. The first equipment to be installed in the processing plant will be a thickener large enough for an expanded operating rate.

However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company&#8217;s mining operations, and are widely reported in the silver and gold mining industry as benchmarks for performance, but do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Management of the Company believes that the Company&#8217;s ability to control the cash cost per silver equivalent ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company&#8217;s financial condition and results of operations. Achieving a low silver equivalent production cost base allows the Company to remain profitable from mining operations even during times of low commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improves the Company&#8217;s financial condition. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The Company has adopted the reporting of &#8220;all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce&#8221;. This measure has no standardized meaning throughout the industry. However, it is intended to provide additional information. Avino presents all-in sustaining cash cost because it believes that it more fully defines the total current cost associated with producing a silver equivalent ounce. Further, the Company believes that this measure allows investors of the Company to better understand its cost of producing silver equivalent ounces, and better assess the Company&#8217;s ability to generate cash flow from operations. Although the measure seeks to reflect the full cost per silver equivalent ounce of production from current operations, it does not include capital expenditures attributable to mine expansions, exploration and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, income tax payments, marketing and treatment charges, and financing costs. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs does not include depreciation and depletion expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. The Company&#8217;s calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as substantially all of the mining equipment used at San Gonzalo and Avino has been newly purchased or refurbished. The Company has planned for sustaining capital expenditures in future years in accordance with mine operating plans and expected equipment utilization levels. Although this measure is not representative of all of the Company&#8217;s cash expenditures, management believes that it is a useful measure in allowing it to analyze the efficiency of its mining operations.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The Company also presents cash flow per share, as it believes it assists investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's overall performance and its ability to generate cash flow from current operations. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS measures and the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements are provided below.
