Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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, gold, and copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement 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 Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the NYSE American, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.

The Company operates the Avino Mine which produces copper, silver and gold at the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Company also owns interests in mineral properties located in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2022, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis.

Critical 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New and amended IFRS that are effective for the current year:

In the current year, the Company has applied the below amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that were effective for annual periods that begin on or after January 1, 2023. These standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures or on the amounts in the current reporting periods.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Material Judgments – Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regards to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term “significant accounting policies” with “material accounting policy information.” Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonable by expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events, or conditions, is immaterial and not required to be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events, or conditions, even of the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events, or conditions, is itself material. The IASB has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the “four-step materiality process” described in IFRS Practice Statement 2.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors – Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.”

The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted; however, the IASB retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

	·	A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not a correct of an error
	·	The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction

The amendments clarify that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognized, such as with leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments were applied effective January 1, 2023, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at June 30, 2023:

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current with Covenants

The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current.

In addition, the amendment requires entities to disclose information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

The amendments require a seller/lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller/lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale or leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application.

The amendments are applied on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. ACQUISITION OF LA PRECIOSA

On March 21, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition with Coeur Mining Inc. (“Coeur”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A de C.V, a Mexican corporation, and Cervantes LLC, a Delaware LLC, that together hold the La Preciosa property in Mexico (“La Preciosa”).

Total consideration paid to Coeur was comprised of:

	a)	Cash consideration of $15.3 million paid;
	b)	A promissory note for $5 million in favour of Coeur, payable without interest on or before March 21, 2023 (paid prior to March 21, 2023);
	c)	14,000,000 common shares of Avino, with a value of $13.65 million on issuance;
	d)	7,000,000 share purchase warrants with a total value at $2.24 million exercisable at $1.09 per share until September 21, 2023, representing a 25% premium to Avino’s 20-day volume weighted average trading price as of October 26, 2021;

Additionally, Avino issued the following consideration for which payment is contingent on a future event and due to acquisition date uncertainty these are valued at Nil. A liability for these contingent payments will be recognized when related activity and events occur.

	e)	An additional cash payment of $8.75 million, to be paid no later than 12 months after initial production at La Preciosa, up to one-half of which may be paid in common shares of Avino (provided Coeur’s total shareholdings cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares);
	f)	A 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Gloria and Abundancia areas of La Preciosa, and a 2.00% gross value royalty on all other areas of La Preciosa; and
	g)	A payment of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (subject to inflationary adjustment) of new mineral reserves (as defined by NI 43-101) discovered and declared outside of the current mineral resource area at La Preciosa, subject to a cap of $50 million, and any such payments will be credited against any existing or future payments owing on the gross value royalty.

The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as La Preciosa is in the exploration and evaluation stage and had not demonstrated technical feasibility, commercial viability, or the ability to provide economic benefits. La Preciosa did not have the workforce, resources and/or reserves, mine plan, or financial resources to the meet the definition of a business for accounting purposes.

Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties – British Columbia

On May 2, 2022, the Company has granted Endurance Gold Corporation the right to acquire an option to earn 100% ownership of the former Minto Gold Mine, Olympic and Kelvin gold prospects contained within a parcel of crown grant and mineral claims (the “Olympic Claims”).

Under the terms of the letter agreement, Endurance can earn a 100% interest in the Olympic Claims if they pay Avino a total cash consideration in the aggregate amount of C$100, issue up to a total of 1,500,000 common shares (“Shares”) of Endurance and incur exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of C$300; all of which is to be incurred by December 31, 2024.

As part of the final requirement to earn its interest, Endurance agreed to grant to Avino 750,000 share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) by December 31, 2024, that offer Avino the option to purchase additional shares in the Company for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants will be set at a 25% premium to the 20-day VWAP share price at the issuance date. During the Option period, if Endurance is successful in defining a compliant mineral resource of at least 500,000 gold-equivalent ounces on the Olympic Claims then Endurance will be obliged to pay Avino a C$1,000 discovery bonus.

13. WARRANT LIABILITY

The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in US 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. Changes in respect of the Company’s warrant liability are as follows:

	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Balance at beginning of the period	$	475		$	741
Warrants issued		-			2,240
Fair value adjustment		(458	)		(2,935	)
Effect of movement in exchange rates		3			(111	)
Balance at end of the period	$	20		$	475

Continuity of warrants during the periods is as follows:

	Underlying Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, January 1, 2022		1,950,412	$	0.80
Granted		7,000,000	$	1.09
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2022		8,950,412	$	1.03
Issued		-		-
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, June 30, 2023		8,950,412	$	1.03

			All Warrants Outstanding and Exercisable
Expiry Date	Exercise Price per Share		June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
September 21, 2023	$	1.09		7,000,000		7,000,000
September 25, 2023	$	0.80		1,950,412		1,950,412
				8,950,412		8,950,412

As at June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 0.23 years (December 31, 2022 – 0.73 years).

Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of 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:

	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		4.90	%		4.07	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected warrant life (years)		0.23			0.73
Expected stock price volatility		41.71	%		56.80	%
Weighted average fair value	$	0.002		$	0.05

14. RECLAMATION PROVISION

Management’s estimate of the reclamation provision at June 30, 2023, is $546 (December 31, 2022 – $445), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $1,686 (December 31, 2022 – $1,454).

The present value of the obligation was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 9.38% (December 31, 2022 – 9.65%) and an inflation rate of 4.00% (December 31, 2022 – 7.82%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2025 for the San Gonzalo Mine and in 2041 for the Avino Mine.

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s reclamation provision is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company charged $524 (six months ended June 30, 2022 - $504) to operations as share-based payments for the fair value of stock options granted.

(d) Restricted Share Units:

On April 19, 2018, 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 attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives common shares.

Continuity of RSUs is as follows:

	Underlying Shares			Weighted Average Price (C$)

RSUs outstanding, January 1, 2022		1,439,477		$	1.32
Granted		1,799,000		$	1.19
Exercised		(982,879	)	$	1.18
Cancelled / Forfeited		(64,932	)	$	1.40
RSUs outstanding, December 31, 2022		2,190,666		$	1.27

Exercised		(592,667	)	$	1.19
Cancelled / Forfeited		(15,333	)	$	1.14
RSUs outstanding, June 30, 2023		3,391,666		$	1.21

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2023:

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, long-term investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. 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.

(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, long-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short-term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments 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 three (December 31, 2022 – two) counterparties (see Note 21). 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.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. At June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, in the amount of $1,207 and working capital of $4,583 in order to meet short-term business requirements. 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 note payable and 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, 2023, are summarized as follows:

	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-5 years		More Than 5 Years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	11,900	$	11,900	$	-	$	-
Amounts due to related parties		35		35		-		-
Minimum rental and lease payments		850		105		347		398
Equipment loans		489		195		294		-
Finance lease obligations		3,796		1,918		1,878		-
Total	$	17,070	$	14,153	$	2,519	$	398

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 exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. A 10% change in the interest rate would not a result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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 Canadian dollars:

	June 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	MXN			CDN			MXN			CDN
Cash	$	7,441		$	154		$	4,097		$	250
Due from related parties		1,940			-			1,402			-
Long-term investments		-			1,601			-			2,365
Reclamation bonds		-			6			-			4
Amounts receivable		3,232			48			-			34
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(86,906	)		(273	)		(85,486	)		(108	)
Due to related parties		-			(197	)		-			(135	)
Finance lease obligations		(742	)		(294	)		(161	)		(343	)
Net exposure		(75,035	)		1,045			(80,148	)		2,067
US dollar equivalent	$	(4,397	)	$	789		$	(4,136	)	$	1,526

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2023, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2023, by approximately $368 (year ended December 31, 2022 - $275). 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.

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its amounts 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, 2023, 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 $41 (December 31, 2022 - $65).

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses being recognized in net income (loss). At June 30, 2023, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $117 (December 31, 2022 - $175).

The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production 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 13 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).

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

2nd Quarter 2023 Highlights

Avino Announced Best Drill Intercept in Company History

On July 5, 2023, the Company released the results of three holes from below Level 17, the current deepest workings at the Elena Tolosa (“ET”) area of the Avino system. Drill Hole ET-23-09 showed 57 metres true width of mineralization and is a step-out 50 metres to the west of Avino’s most westerly drill hole at 200 metres downdip below Level 17. This mineralized intercept is exceptionally wide and has very high silver, gold and copper grades. The vein system continues to be open along strike and at depth.

Metallurgical Testing Completed at the Oxide Tailings Project

On April 5, 2023, Avino announced metallurgical results from the testwork program that was completed and will form the basis of the metallurgical analysis in a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS) on the project. This Project has been in our portfolio for many years and factors prominently into our five-year growth plan to become an intermediate silver producer in Mexico. These results also build on the studies in the 2017 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) and increase the level of confidence in the Project through the extensive testwork completed. In the recent update, The Oxide Tailings mineral resource was increased by 407% in the measured and indicated categories to total 5.7 million tonnes, and an increase of 287% to the silver equivalent ounces resulting in 17.4 million.

Steady Production at Avino

Silver equivalent production of 587,317 ounces is another consistent quarter of mining operations. Production decreased when compared to recent quarters, primarily due to mine sequencing of certain lower grade zones of the Avino Mine along with supply chain issues for some maintenance parts that affected recovery in the mill.

Released ET Area Drilling Results – Avino Vein Extends a Further 500 Metres:

On May 23, 2023, Avino announced drill results from ten (10) drill holes at the Avino Elena Tolosa (“ET”) area below the current deepest workings at the mine. These drill results show the Avino Vein to extend a further 500 metres downdip of the lowest mining level. This exploration program is designed to test the continuity and to improve our understanding of the potential for deeper mineralization. As a result, the Avino Vein is now known to extend 1,100 metres downdip from surface outcrop. Additionally, a previously undiscovered breccia vein was intersected approximately 15 to 30 metres below the Avino Vein in the football intrusive rocks. For further details, see the “Exploration” section in this MD&A.

Dry Stack Tailings Facility Completed and Operational:

Avino’s tailings management system is based on our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship. We approach our tailings management with respect for the people in our communities and the environment. When we consider our environmental approach, we strive to meet or exceed expectations while being guided by best practice standards globally. For those reasons we selected dry stack and constructed a dry stack tailings facility which is now complete and fully operational. The conveyor system is installed and is currently transporting the pressed dry tailings to the Avino open pit area. A tab is now available on our website that provides further information on our tailings management system, along with a video (in Spanish) from the minesite that can be viewed. In addition, a selection of short videos of the facility in operation can be viewed under Videos and Media.

La Preciosa Update:

The Company is conducting community engagement in the nearby towns adjacent to the property and will provide further updates as plans develop. Avino is fully committed to moving this project forward as it factors prominently in the Company’s 5-year growth strategy.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Revenues

The Company recognized revenues net of penalties, treatment costs and refining charges, of $9.2 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate, compared to $9.4 million revenues for Q2 2022, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease is a result of lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current quarter of 452,011, compared to 594,700 in Q2 2022, a decrease of 24%. This was partially offset by positive price movements for silver and gold in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, as outlined below.

Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $24.50 per ounce of silver, $1,995 per ounce of gold, and $8,558 per tonne of copper, compared to $22.75 per ounce of silver, $1,889 per ounce of gold, and $9,407 per tonne of copper for Q2 2022.

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

Cost of sales was $8.1 million, compared to $5.5 million in Q2 2022, an increase of $2.6 million. The increase in cost of sales is partially attributable to 33% higher processed & milled tonnes in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, which resulted in higher overall overhead costs despite lower ounces sold in the current quarter when compared to Q2 2022. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the quarter, which directly impacted labour and contractor costs.

Mine operating income, after depreciation and depletion, was $1.1 million, compared to $3.9 million in Q2 2022. The decrease in mine operating income is a result of the increased cost of sales noted above, with lower revenues than the comparative quarter due to lower produced and sold ounces arising from lower mill recovery and productivity.

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

General and administrative expenses was $1.5 million, compared to $1.4 million in Q2 2022, with the small increases coming from the increased corporate activity relating to the acquisition of La Preciosa and financing activities.

Share-based payments was $0.8 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q2 2022, a decrease of $0.1 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price from period to period.

Other Items

Other Items totaled income of $1.0 million for the period, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to income of $1.8 million related to other items in Q2 2022.

Unrealized loss on long-term investment was $0.3 million, a positive change to income of $0.3 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Q2 2022. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources from period to period, and to a less extent, the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold Corp..

Fair value adjustment on warrant liability was a gain of $0.8 million, a decrease to income of $1.6 million compared to a gain of $2.4 million in Q2 2022. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s warrant liability relates to the issuance of US dollar-denominated warrants, which are re-valued each reporting period, and the value fluctuates with changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and in the variables used in the valuation model, such as the Company’s US share price, and expected share price volatility.

Foreign exchange gain for the period was $0.6 million, a change of $0.5 million compared to a gain of $0.1 million in Q2 2022. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Mexican peso, resulting in an unrealized foreign exchange gain. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Canadian dollar but remained constant in relation to the Mexican peso, also resulting in an unrealized foreign exchange gain.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

The remaining Other Items resulted in a loss of $0.1 million, unchanged when compared to loss of $0.1 million for Q2 2022.

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

Current income tax recovery was $0.6 million in Q2 2023, a change of $1.0 million compared to $0.4 in income tax expense for Q2 2022. The higher amount of current income tax expenses in Q2 2022 is a result of income generated in the comparable quarter, with lower operating income being generated in the current quarter.

Deferred income tax recovery was $0.9 million, a change of $1.8 million compared to a tax expense of $0.9 million in Q2 2022. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to the special mining duty in Mexico and to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes during the current and comparable periods primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and mining profits and/or losses in Mexico.

Net Income/Loss

Net income from all operations was $1.1 million for the period, or $0.01 per share, compared to income of $2.3 million, or $0.02 per share during Q2 2022. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily decreases in revenues and mine operating income, increases to costs of sales and a small increase to general and administrative expenses, as well as lower unrealized loss on investments. Decreases in income/loss were partially offset by current and deferred income tax recoveries, as noted above, and positive movements in the fair value adjustment of the warrant liability and the gain on unrealized foreign exchange.

EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

EBITDA was $0.4 million, a decrease of $3.7 million when compared to $4.1 million for Q2 2022. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, and any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings for the period was $0.03 million, a decrease of $2.4 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $2.5 million in the corresponding quarter in 2022. Changes to adjusted losses are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, gains and losses related to warrants, and movements in unrealized foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.

Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce, excluding stand-by costs, was $16.33, compared to $8.39 for Q2 2022. The increase in cost per ounce is a result of higher milled tonnes, resulting in higher overhead, with less ounces produced and sold in Q2 2023 when compared to Q2 2022, primarily due to lower mill productivity and performance in the current quarter. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the quarter, which directly impacted labour and contractor costs.

All-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $23.06, compared to $15.95 for Q2 2022. The increase is primarily a result of the items noted above, offset by certain reductions in penalties, treatment and refining charges, exploration expenses and sustaining capital expenditures.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Revenues

The Company recognized revenues net of penalties, treatment costs and refining charges, of $19.0 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate, compared to revenues of $20.4 million for 2022, a decrease of $1.4 million.

The decrease in revenues is a result of lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period of 12%, as well as a decrease in copper price by 11% in the current period compared to 2022. This was partially offset by smaller positive price movements for silver and gold in the current period, as outlined below, as well as a decrease in penalties, treatment costs and refining charges of $1.1 million in the current period compared to 2022.

Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $24.00 per ounce of silver, $1,938 per ounce of gold, and $8,773 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $23.74 per ounce of silver, $1,901 per ounce of gold, and $9,785 per tonne of copper.

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

Cost of sales was $16.1 million, compared to $11.8 million in 2022, an increase of $4.3 million. The increase in cost of sales is partially attributable to 38% higher processed & milled tonnes in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022, which resulted in higher overall overhead costs despite lower ounces sold in the current period. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso, which directly impacted labour and contractor costs.

Mine operating income, after depreciation and depletion, was $3.0 million, compared to $8.6 million in 2022. The decrease in mine operating income of the increased cost of sales and decreased revenues than the comparative period, as noted above.

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

General and administrative expenses was $2.7 million, compared to $2.5 million in the comparable period, with any increases coming from the increased corporate activity surrounding the acquisition of La Preciosa and financing activities undertaken in the period.

Share-based payments was $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the comparable period, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price from period to period.

Other Items

Other Items totaled income of $0.3 million for the period, a decrease to income of $0.4 million compared to income of $0.7 million related to Other Items in the comparable period in 2022.

Unrealized loss on long-term investment was $0.6 million, a positive movement of $0.7 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million in the comparable period. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources from period to period, as well as the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold.

Fair value adjustment on warrant liability was a gain of $0.5 million, a negative movement of $2.1 million compared to a gain of $2.6 million in the comparable period in 2022. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s warrant liability relates to the issuance of US dollar-denominated warrants, which are re-valued each reporting period, and the value fluctuates with changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and in the variables used in the valuation model, such as the Company’s US share price, and expected share price volatility.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Unrealized foreign exchange gain for the period was $0.4 million, a positive movement of $0.9 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the comparable period in 2022. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the period, the Canadian dollar and the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Mexican peso, resulting in a foreign exchange gain. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the US dollar appreciated slightly in relation to the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, resulting in a foreign exchange loss.

The remaining Other Items had no impact on net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

Current income tax recovery was $0.5 million, compared to a current income tax expense of $0.5 million in the comparable period. The movements are a result of higher profits generated in 2022, resulting in increased income tax expense, whereas in 2023, the Company was in a recovery position.

Deferred income tax recovery was $0.9 M, a change of $3.2 million compared to expense of $2.3 million in Q2 2022. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to the special mining duty in Mexico and to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes during the current and comparable periods primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and mining profits and/or losses in Mexico.

Net Income/Loss

Net income was $0.7 million for the period, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.03 per share during the comparable period in 2022. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily decreases in revenues and mine operating income, increases in share-based payments between the two comparable quarters. Net income/loss was further impacted by movements in unrealized foreign exchange, fair value adjustments on the warrant liability, and an increased unrealized loss on investments as noted above.

EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

EBITDA was $0.7 million, a decrease of $6.2 million when compared to $6.9 million for the comparable period. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, and any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings for the period was $1.1 million, a decrease of $4.7 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $5.8 million in the corresponding period in 2022. Changes to adjusted losses are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, gains and losses related to warrants, and movements in unrealized foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.

Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $15.22, compared to $9.94 for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in cost per ounce is partially attributable to 38% higher processed & milled tonnes in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2022, which resulted in higher overall overhead costs despite lower ounces sold in the current period. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso, which directly impacted labour and contractor costs.

All-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $21.53, compared to $17.75 for the comparable period in 2022. The increase is a result of the items noted above, as well as movements in penalties, treatment and refining charges, exploration expenses and sustaining capital expenditures.

Under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101-compliant reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments, or feasibility studies, and historically projects without such reports have increased uncertainty and risk of economic viability. The Company’s decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company’s discovery of the San Gonzalo and Avino Mine resources, 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Previously, the Company reported the extension of the Avino Vein to a further 500 metres downdip below the lowest current production mining level. Drill Hole ET-23-09 shows 57 metres true width of mineralization and is a step out 50 metres to the west of Avino’s most westerly drill hole at 200 metres downdip below Level 17. This continuing exploration program is testing the continuity of the steeply dipping mineralization. Avino has enlisted several world-renowned consulting geologists to contribute to the geological theory to drive understanding of the mineralization characteristics. The depth extent of at least 750 metres of known mineralization is unusual in comparison with most Mexican epithermal deposits.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Selected intercepts from the Avino Vein include:

	·	Hole ET 23-04: 122 AgEq g/t (including 0.65% Cu) over 35.73 metres true width, including 208 AgEq g/t (including 1.33% Cu) over 5.20 metres true width, as well as 152 AgEq g/t (including 0.82% Cu) over 6.24 metres true width

	·	Hole ET 23-05: 120 AgEq g/t (including 0.55% Cu) over 48.40 metres true width, including 256 AgEq g/t (including 1.37% Cu) over 1.76 metres true width, as well as 1,165 over AgEq g/t (including 7.43% Cu) over 0.33 meters true width

	·	Hole ET 23-06: 141 AgEq g/t (including 0.81% Cu) over 36.00 meters true width, including 219 AgEq g/t (including 1.32% Cu) over 14.00 metres true width

Avino is developing a geological model based on a “near porphyry” environment because of the increasing copper grades. The persistence of grade continuity from surface down a plunge distance of over 1,100 metres (800 metres vertical) supports the possibility of a deeper mineralized system that may be linked to a deep porphyry centre.

The Company has budgeted 8,000 metres of drilling in 2023, with a focus on at depth below the current Elena Tolosa production area. To date, the Company has completed approximately 7,100 metres of drilling in 2023. Further results on the area below the current production area at Elena Tolosa will be released in the coming weeks.

Additional information on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties by region is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold to a subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company (“Hecla”) the Eagle Property for cash consideration of C$250.

Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties – British Columbia

As of June 30, 2023, Endurance was in compliance with all terms of the Option agreement. See Note 8 of the financial statements for further details.

Oxide Tailings Metallurgical Testwork

On April 5, 2023, the Company announced metallurgical results from the testwork program on its oxide tailings project (“Oxide Tailings” or the “Project”). The Project hosts gold and silver from past producing historic operations in an inactive tailings facility located on the Avino property with a 5.7 million tonnes of measured and indicated resource grading 95 g/t of silver equivalent. Historically, near surface oxidised material was not recovered well by Avino’s conventional flotation mill, which has created this opportunity for re-processing the tailings with a cyanide leaching process.

Highlights from the testwork:

The project consists of three types of tailings that are categorized by grade as well as identified in three stratigraphic layers within the deposit based on the time period when they were processed. They are, Ancient Oxides, Recent Oxides and Sulphides, and each type was sampled and tested separately. The average grades are shown below.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

The project exhibits an excellent response using conventional metallurgical techniques.

Recovery Highlights include:

	·	Ancient Oxides: Gold Recovery up to 89.5% and silver recovery of up 90.4% in a conventional bottle roll.

	·	Recent Oxides: Gold Recovery up to 85.8% and silver recovery of up 83.4% in a conventional bottle roll.

	·	Sulphides: Gold Recovery up to 82.8% and silver recovery of up 76.1% in a conventional bottle roll.

The conventional bottle roll test parameters for the three samples were achieved at a particle size of eighty percent passing 75 microns using 500 to 1000ppm sodium cyanide and a retention time of 60-72 hours. The metallurgical test program was completed by SGS de Mexico (“SGS”), a leading metallurgical testing and consulting firm based in Durango Mexico. The testwork was completed on a composite sample from approximately 437 kg of HQ core from a sonic drill from 127 drill holes drilled into the oxide tailings resource in 2021 and 2022. Each type of tailings was identified and separated so that a composite for each style of tailings could be created. Both the deposition style and appearance of the tailings within the drill core allowed for relatively straight forward categorization. The sulphides section used 158.9 kg of sample, the ancient oxides used 135.5 kg and the recent oxides 142.7 kg.

The testwork program included chemical analysis, size fraction analysis, agglomeration, bulk leaching extractable gold test, bottle roll test to simulate agitated leaching, column leaching tests to simulate heap leaching, flotation, and cyanide detoxification using sodium hypochlorite.

Non – IFRS Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted earnings

Earnings, or loss, before interest, taxes and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non IFRS financial measure which excludes the following items from net earnings:

	·	Income tax expense
	·	Finance cost
	·	Amortization and depletion

Adjusted earnings excludes the following additional items from EBITDA

	·	Share based compensation;
	·	Non-operational items including foreign exchange movements, fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants and other non-recurring items

Management believes EBITDA and adjusted earnings provides an indication of continuing capacity to generate operating cash flow to fund capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. These measures are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts. There are not standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted earnings excludes share-based payments, and non-operating or recurring items such as foreign exchange gains and losses and fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants. Under IFRS, entities must reflect within compensation expense the cost of share-based payments. In the Company’s circumstances, share-based compensation can involve significant amounts that will not be settled in cash but are settled by issuance of shares in exchange. The Company discloses adjusted earnings to aid in understanding the results of the company.

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost per Silver Equivalent Payable Ounce

The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales from the consolidated financial statements to cash cost and all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce sold. In each table, “silver equivalent payable ounces sold” consists of the sum of payable silver ounces, gold ounces and copper tonnes sold, before penalties, treatment charges, and refining charges, multiplied by the ratio of the average spot gold and copper prices for the corresponding period.

Cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. 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 payable ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company’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 as issued by the IASB, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

Cash cost per payable ounce

Management believes that the Company’s ability to control the cash cost per payable silver equivalent ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company’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 improve the Company’s financial condition.

The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $434 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022 - $2,162) and all of which is attributable to the Avino Mine.

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS measures and the Company’s consolidated financial statements are provided below. The measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS measures. Calculated figures may not add up accurately due to rounding.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

	·	Revenue decreased in Q2 2023 compared to previous quarters due to lower concentrate tonnes shipped & sold during the current quarter. This was primarily due to lower production in Q2 2023 than previous quarters, which resulted in lower sales volumes. This was after having seen Q4 2022 increase compared to other previous quarters following the restart of operations during Q3 2021 and the commencement of sales in September 2021.

	·	Net income/loss was lower in Q1 and Q2 2023 primarily due to lower revenues and ounces sold than Q4 2022 and preceding quarters in 2022, as well as higher costs resulting from a stronger Mexican Peso than in previous quarters. For further details see “Financial Results” section.

	·	Total assets increased have increased overall when compared to previous quarters excluding Q1 2023, as result of the acquisition of La Preciosa as well as the increased operating cash flow generation.

Quarterly results will fluctuate with changes in revenues, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, including non-cash items such as share-based payments, and other items including foreign exchange and deferred income taxes.

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $1.0 million, a decrease of $6.1 million compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. In 2023, cash generated from operating activities decreased by $5.7 million primarily due to lower mine operating income as a result of higher levels of production with limited increase in sales volumes during the quarter and an increase in operating costs resulting from the strengthening of the Mexican Peso compared to the US dollar. Other movements are primarily a result of working capital changes between the two periods.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The movement is a result of higher lease and equipment loan payments, partially offset by proceeds from shares issued on the ATM. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash of $0.4 million (June 30, 2022 – $0.03 million). The Company also made finance lease and equipment loan payments totalling $0.8 million (June 30, 2022 - $0.7 million).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $10.6 million compared to $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash used in investing activities included cash capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation expenditures of $5.6 million (June 30, 2022 - $2.9 million) on the acquisition of property and equipment and exploration expenditures, as well as $5.0 million related to the repayment of the promissory note associated with the acquisition of La Preciosa during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $15.3 million in the upfront payments in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash, in both the short term and the long term, to maintain existing capacity and to fund ongoing exploration, is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or resources and the ability of the Company to continue with sustainable and profitable mining operations.

Management expects that the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements will be funded from cash generated from current operations and from further financing, as required, in order to fund ongoing exploration activities, and meet its objectives, including ongoing advancement at the Avino Mine. The Company continues to evaluate financing opportunities to advance its projects. The Company’s ability to secure adequate financing is, in part, dependent on overall market conditions, the prices of silver, gold, and copper, and other factors.

The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.

Intended Use of Proceeds

Actual Use of Proceeds

During 2023, the Company received net proceeds of $2.2 million in connection with a brokered at-the-market offering issued under prospectus supplements.

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company is using the funds as intended.

During 2023, all funds were used for exploration and evaluation activities, the acquisition of property and equipment, and the repayments of capital equipment acquired under lease and loan.

Financial Instruments and Risks

22 | Page

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

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

(a) Credit Risk

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 three (December 31, 2022 – two) 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 highly-rated 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 unaudited consolidated statement of financial position. At June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, in the amount of $1,207 and working capital of $4,583 in order to meet short-term business requirements. 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 term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are 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.

The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at June 30, 2023, are summarized as follows:

	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-5 years		More Than 5 Years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	11,900	$	11,900	$	-	$	-
Amounts due to related parties		35		35		-		-
Minimum rental and lease payments		850		105		347		398
Equipment loans		489		195		294		-
Finance lease obligations		3,796		1,918		1,878		-

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

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 exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. A 10% change in the interest rate would not result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.

(d) Classification of Financial Instruments

IFRS 13 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, 2023:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash	$	1,207	$	-	$	-
Amounts receivable		-		849		-
Long-term investments		1,210		-		-
Total financial assets	$	2,417	$	849	$	-
Financial liabilities
Warrant liability		-		-		(20	)
Total financial liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	(20	)

The Company uses Black-Scholes model to measure its Level 3 financial instruments. As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments consisted of the warrant liability.

For the Company’s warrant liability valuation and fair value adjustments during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, see Note 13 of the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations.

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures on financial reporting (as defined in NI 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and has concluded that, based on its evaluation, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2023, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings and as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective as of June 30, 2023.

Remediation

The Company has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness described in the management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of the material weakness will be completed prior to the end of the year ended December 31, 2023.
