YAMANA GOLD INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016
(With Comparatives as at December 31, 2015 and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015)
(Amounts in millions of United States Dollars, except for shares and per share amounts unless otherwise noted, unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Yamana Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "Yamana"), including comparative figures, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") using the accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS for annual audited consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 26, 2016.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of and using the accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation consistent with those applied and disclosed in Notes 3 and 5 to the Company’s Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as noted below. Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period. In particular, effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed its policy with respect to certain general and administrative expenses incurred at producing mines previously classified as general and administrative expenses, are now classified as cost of sales excluding depletion, depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for the period end. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual future outcomes may differ from present estimates. Management reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using the most current information available.

The critical judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainties in the application of accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are the same as those disclosed in Note 4 to the Company's Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.


2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2015. Pronouncements that are not applicable to the Company have been excluded from this note. The following pronouncements have been issued but are not yet effective:  

(a)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 for public entities. The Company is assessing the impact of this Standard.
(b)
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - The final standard on revenue from contracts with customers was issued on May 28, 2014, effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. The Company is assessing the impact of this Standard.
(c)
IFRS 16 Leases - The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted for companies that also apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is assessing the impact of this Standard.


3.    ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF MINERAL INTERESTS

a)
Disposition of Mercedes


yamanalogoa15.jpg | 7


On September 30, 2016, the Company completed the sale to Premier Gold Inc. of its Mexican subsidiaries through which the Mercedes mine was held. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company received total consideration of $122.5 million in cash plus shares, equity securities and net smelter return royalties having an additional value of $26 million. The marketable securities received include 6 million common shares of Premier and 3 million common share purchase warrants of Premier that are exercisable at C$4.75 per common share for 24 months. The Company also received a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the Mercedes mine, that becomes payable upon the earlier of six years from the completion of the sale or the date upon which cumulative production of 450,000 ounces of gold equivalent from Mercedes has been achieved, as well as a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on the La Silla property in Sinaloa, Mexico and the La Espera property in Sonora, Mexico. The Company has recognized a non-cash loss of $24.4 million on the sale. The comparative loss and cash flows from discontinued operations have been restated to include those operations classified as discontinued in the current period.

The following table summarizes the statement of operations of the Mexican subsidiaries operations:

b)
Acquisition of Mineração Riacho dos Machados Ltda (“MRDM”)

On February 17, 2016, Brio Gold, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamana Gold Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and a Restructuring Agreement pursuant to which it would ultimately acquire all right, title and interests in Mineração Riacho dos Machados Ltda (“MRDM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carpathian Gold Inc. (“Carpathian”), from Macquarie Bank Limited, holder of rights and interests in loan facility extended to MRDM, and Carpathian. MRDM owns and operates the Riacho Dos Machados ("RDM") mine which is an open-pit heap-leach gold mine located in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. RDM increases the production profile of the Company in a mining-friendly jurisdiction expected to increase the sustainable production level, contribute to cash flow and provide mineral reserve growth and a mineral resource base with growth potential.

On April 29, 2016, the Company closed on the restructuring procedures and concurrently attained control of MRDM for approximately $53.9 million in total cash consideration, excluding acquisition related costs of $3.0 million which have been recognized as an expense and included in other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2016 since the acquisition date.

The Company has recognized its interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of MRDM in accordance with the Company’s rights and obligations prescribed by the transaction, as a business combination. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the Company has recognized the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities.

As of the date of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is based on preliminary estimates and has not been finalized. The Company is currently in the process of determining the fair values of the net assets acquired, assessing and measuring the associated deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the acquisition. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the preliminary fair value below and are subject to change.

Total consideration paid by the Company was as follows:

MRDM's revenues and net losses are $28.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the period ended September 30, 2016 since the acquisition date. Revenues and net earnings for the Company would have been $1,380 million and $53.5 million, respectively, for the nine months period ended September 30, 2016, if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2016.

7.    EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings/(Loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings/(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

10.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

(a)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, investments in financial securities, trade and other payables, long-term debt and derivative assets (liabilities). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, advances and deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Adjustments recognized in the balance sheet relating to concentrate sales are fair valued based on published and observable prices. Fair values of derivatives were based on market closing prices at period end, on published and observable market prices for similar instruments and on inputs derived principally from or collaborated by observable market data or other means, except for the determination of the fair value of warrants for which the Black-Scholes model was used.

There were no material differences between the carrying value and fair value of non-current financial assets and liabilities. As at September 30, 2016, the debt has a carrying value of $1.7 billion (December 31, 2015 — $1.8 billion), which is comprised of a revolving facility, senior debt notes and assumed debt with fair values of $175.8 million, $1.5 billion and $22.4 million, respectively (December 31, 2015 — $185.7 million, $1.5 billion and $42.2 million). The fair value was calculated by discounting the future cash flows by a discount factor based on an interest rate of 5% which reflects the Company's own credit risk. Fair values of available-for-sale securities were calculated based on current and available market information.

The Company assesses its financial instruments and non-financial contracts on a regular basis to determine the existence of any embedded derivatives which would be required to be accounted for separately at fair value and to ensure that any embedded derivatives are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s policy. As at September 30, 2016, there were no embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting other than concentrate sales.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing the fair value of a particular contract, the market participant would consider the credit risk of the counterparty to the contract. Consequently, when it is appropriate to do so, the Company adjusts its valuation models to incorporate a measure of credit risk. The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Valuation Techniques
Available-for-Sale Securities
The fair value of publicly traded available-for-sale securities is determined based on a market approach reflecting the bid price of each particular security at the balance sheet date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, and therefore available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using either present value techniques or option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs. The Company continues to monitor the potential impact of the recent instability of the financial markets, and will adjust its derivative contracts for credit risk based upon the credit default swap spread for each of the counterparties as warranted.

Gold Sales Contracts and Metal Concentrate Sales Contracts
Gold sales are made at market observable spot prices. Metal concentrate sales are based on market prices of measurement dates, which are two or three months after shipment depending on the terms of the off-take agreements. The sales are measured initially and then adjusted monthly on the basis of prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange until measurement date. Therefore, metal concentrate sales would be classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company continues to monitor and, as warranted, adjust for credit risk based upon the credit default swap spread for each of the counterparties.

Share purchase warrants includes proceeds from the sale of warrants received from Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) on October 27th, 2015. The share purchase warrants, which were initially valued at $18.4 million, were sold on September 26, 2016.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market factors, such as foreign exchange, commodity prices or interest rates will affect the value of the Company's financial instruments. Market risks are managed by either accepting the risk or mitigating it through the use of derivatives and other economic hedges. As at September 30, 2016, there are no substantial changes to the market risk described in Note 16: Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, except for the change in managing the Company’s currency risk as discussed below.

The Company’s sales are predominantly denominated in United States Dollars. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the United States Dollar as a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies; predominately the Brazilian Real, the Argentine Peso, the Chilean Peso, the Mexican Peso and the Canadian Dollar. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. These potential currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on production costs and affect the Company’s earnings and financial condition.

Following a period of sustained decline in the aforementioned currencies, as at December 31, 2015, the Company temporarily halted its currency hedging program. To limit the variability in the Company’s expected operating expenses denominated in Brazilian Reais, the Company restarted its hedging program in May 2016. It has entered into zero-cost collar contracts totaling 510 million Reais with purchase of call options at an average strike price of 3.40 Reais per USD and sale of put options at an average strike price of 4.13 Reais per USD. The term of the cash flow hedge is from May 2016 to April 2017. In October 2016, the Company entered into an additional zero-cost collar contracts totaling $400.0 million Reais with the purchase of call options at an average strike price of 3.25 Reais per USD and sale of put options at an average strike price of 3.79 Reais per USD. The term of the cash flow hedge is from May 2017 to December 2017.

(i)
Tax credits recoverable classified as other financial assets consist of sales taxes which are recoverable in the form of a refund from the respective jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
(ii)
Investments in financial securities includes available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities and warrants with a cost of $39.3 million (2015 - $35.1 million) and a fair value of $30.1 million (2015 - $20.6 million). Pursuant to the sale of the Mercedes mine to Premier Gold Inc, the Company received 6,000,000 common shares of Premier Gold Inc. and 3,000,000 common share purchase warrants that are exercisable at C$4.25 per common share for the next 24 months. During the period ended June 30, 2016, the Company received common shares of Aura Minerals Inc. as consideration for the sale of Ernesto Pau-a-Pique ("EPP"). The Company's total ownership in Premier Gold and Aura Minerals does not represent a significant interest, thus, the Company does not have control over Premier Gold or Aura Minerals. AFS are reviewed quarterly for significant or prolonged decline in fair value requiring impairment and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The review includes an analysis of the fact and circumstances of the financial assets, the market price of actively traded securities and other financial assets, the severity of loss, the financial position and near-term prospects of the investment, credit risk of the counterparties, the length of time the fair value has been below costs, both positive and negative evidence that the carrying amount is recoverable within a reasonable period of time, management’s intent and ability to hold the financial assets for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value and management’s market view and outlook. On September 26, 2016 the Company sold all of its Warrants held in Sandstorm for $33.5 million cash. The warrants were originally issued by Sandstorm to Yamana as part of the consideration for certain metal purchase arrangements relating to copper and silver entered into with Sandstorm in 2015.

(i)
The Company is subject to additional taxes in Chile on the repatriation of profits to its foreign shareholders.  Total taxes in the amount of $34.9 million (December 31, 2015 - $70.3 million) have been accrued on the assumption that the profits will be repatriated.
(ii)
On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into a copper purchase agreements with Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) (the “Copper Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Altius paid the Company total advanced payments of $60 million in cash consideration plus 400,000 Altius warrants valued at $1.1 million. The Copper Purchase Agreement provides Altius with the right to receive deliveries of copper referenced to production from the Company’s Chapada mine in Brazil.  The advanced payments have been accounted as deferred revenue.  The Company records a portion of the deferred revenue as sales, when substantial risks and rewards of the metals have been transferred to Altius. Movement of deferred revenue of $0.4 million in the year to date is related to the amortization of deferred revenue on metal delivery.
(iii)
Deferred revenue on metal agreements include the proceeds received from three metal agreements signed with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) on October 27th, 2015. Sandstorm paid the Company total cash of $152 million and issued the Company 15 million common share purchase warrants (valued at $18.4 million at inception) with a five year term and strike price of $3.50. The metal purchase agreements include a silver purchase contract referenced to production from Cerro Moro, Minera Florida and Chapada, a copper purchase transaction referenced to production from Chapada, and a gold purchase transaction referenced to production from Agua Rica. Refer to details of the terms of the agreement disclosed in note 26 Other Provisions and Liabilities to the Company's Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Movement of deferred revenue of $3.6 million in the year to date is related to the amortization of deferred revenue on metal delivery.
(iv)
Other provisions and liabilities include provisions relating to legal proceedings, silicosis and other. In 2004, a former director of Northern Orion (now named 0805346 B.C. Ltd.) commenced proceedings in Argentina against Northern Orion claiming damages in the amount of $177.0 million for alleged breaches of agreements entered into with the plaintiff.  The plaintiff alleged that the agreements entitled him to a pre-emptive right to participate in acquisitions by Northern Orion in Argentina and claimed damages in connection with the acquisition by Northern Orion of its 12.5% equity interest in the Alumbrera Mine.  On August 22, 2008, the National Commercial Court No. 13 of the

yamanalogoa15.jpg | 16


City of Buenos Aires issued a first-instance judgment rejecting the claim.  The plaintiff appealed this judgment to the National Commercial Appeals Court.  On May 22, 2013, the appellate court overturned the first-instance decision.  The appellate court determined that the plaintiff was entitled to make 50% of Northern Orion’s investment in the Alumbrera acquisition, although weighted the chance of the plaintiff’s 50% participation at 15%.  The matter was remanded to the first-instance court to determine the value.  Northern Orion appealed this decision through to the Supreme Court of Argentina, but on October 28, 2014, the Supreme Court denied Northern Orion’s motion for leave to appeal and accordingly the determination of the National Commercial Appeals Court regarding the plaintiff’s entitlement to damages stands. The court appointed valuator subsequently delivered an assessment order of the value of lost opportunity to the plaintiff at $244 million. The Company succeeded in having the assessment order annulled on November 13, 2015, the National Commercial Court of Appeals rejected the plaintiff’s appeal against the annulment of the award. As no further action before the expiration of the term for any possible appeal on December 18, 2015, the annulment of the $244 million award made by the valuator is definitive.  A new valuator was appointed and an “arbitral report” was rendered on September 13, 2016. Such report provides only a suggestion of value at $54.2 million. While this represents a significant improvement over the original annulled award, of $244 million, the amount suggested in the current report continues to be well in excess of the amount Northern Orion considers reflective of the claim. Northern Orion has determined that there are several flaws in this latest report, as was the case in the first report, and that the instructions of the court pursuant to which the arbitration is being conducted were not followed. In addition, the latest report is advisory of the amount of the award and is not a determinative award. As such, an application has been made to annul the report on similar grounds to the application to annul the first report which succeeded. Northern Orion believes that pursuant to the instructions for conducting the valuation, any award should be at most de minimis or nominal. In addition to the application for an annulment of the current arbitration, Northern Orion will continue to consider all its legal options to defend its interests.

17.    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with strategic acquisitions, to ensure the externally imposed capital requirements relating to its long-term debt are being met, and to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company defines capital that it manages as net worth, which is comprised of total shareholders’ equity and debt obligations (net of cash and cash equivalents). Refer to Note 15: Share Capital and Note 14: Long-term Debt for a quantitative summary of these items.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of general economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and the Company’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue shares, pay dividends, or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as capital and operating budgets. The Company has not made any changes to its policies and processes for managing capital during the year.

The Company has the following externally imposed financial covenants on certain of its debt arrangements:
(a)
Tangible net worth of at least $2.3 billion.
(b)
Maximum net total debt (debt less cash) to tangible net worth of 0.75.
(c)
Leverage ratio (net total debt/EBITDA) to be less than or equal to 3.5:1.

Not meeting these capital requirements could result in a condition of default by the Company. As at September 30, 2016, the Company has met all of the externally imposed financial covenants.


18.    OPERATING SEGMENTS
 
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company’s determination of its reportable operating segments was revised to reflect the revisions to its portfolio approach on its assets as, at this point in time, no producing or development stage assets are considered to be non-core. The Company has seven core reportable operating segments which include the following mines: the Chapada mine in Brazil, El Peñón mine in Chile, Canadian Malartic mine in Canada (50% interest), Gualcamayo mine in Argentina, Minera Florida in Chile, Jacobina in Brazil and Brio Gold Inc. with assets in Brazil. The Company aggregates and discloses the financial results of non-reportable operating segments which include, but are not limited to: investments in associate and corporate entities as these operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments. The Company’s chief operating decision makers perform planning, review operation results, assess performance and make resource allocation decisions for each of these segments at an operational level on a number of measures, which include mine operating earnings, production levels and unit production costs.  General and administrative, exploration and evaluation, finance income and costs, impairment charges and reversals, and investment write-down are managed on a consolidated basis and are therefore not reflected in segment income. Comparative information of prior periods has been restated to conform to the current reportable segment format and definition.

20.    CONTINGENCIES
 
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will be resolved only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The impact of any resulting loss from such matters affecting these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company may be material.
 
In December 2012, the Company received assessments from the Brazilian federal tax authorities disallowing certain deductions relating to financial instruments used to finance Brazilian operations for the years 2007 to 2010. The Company believes that these financial instruments were issued on commercial terms permitted under applicable laws and is appealing these assessments. As such, the Company does not believe it is probable that any amounts will be paid with respect to these assessments with the Brazilian authorities and the amount and timing of any assessments cannot be reasonably estimated.

On August 2, 2016, Canadian Malartic General Partnership (“CMGP”), the operator of the Canadian Malartic mine, was served with a class action lawsuit with respect to allegations involving the Canadian Malartic mine. Beginning in the spring of 2015, Canadian Malartic GP has been working collaboratively with the community of Malartic and its citizens to develop a “Good Neighbour Guide” that addresses the allegations contained in the lawsuit. Yamana and Canadian Malartic GP will take all reasonable steps necessary to defend themselves from this lawsuit. At the current time, the Company does not believe it is probable that any amounts will be paid with respect to these lawsuits and the amount and timing cannot be reasonably estimated.


21.    EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
 
On October 17, 2016, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Brio Gold Inc. had filed a preliminary prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada in connection with qualifying a secondary offering of common shares held by Yamana, which Brio Shares will be transferred to purchasers through the exercise of purchase rights. Each purchase right shall provide Yamana Shareholders with an opportunity to purchase from Yamana its Brio Shares at an exercise price to be determined in the context of the market.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into additional zero-cost collar contracts totaling $400.0 million Reais with average call and put strike prices of $3.25 and $3.80 respectively.
