NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(unaudited- prepared by management)

 (expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Endeavour Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "Endeavour Silver") is a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).  The Company is engaged in silver mining in Mexico and related activities including acquisition, exploration, development, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation.  The Company is also engaged in exploration activities in Chile.  The address of the registered office is #1130 - 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C., V7Y 1G5. 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. 

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements for issue on May 6, 2021.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government declared a national health emergency with extraordinary measures due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Numerous health precautions were decreed, including the suspension of non essential businesses, with only essential services to remain open. As at March 31, 2020 mining did not qualify as an essential service so for the protection of the Company's staff, employees, contractors and communities, the Company suspended its three mining operations in Mexico as of April 1, 2020 as mandated by the Mexican government. The Company retained essential personnel at each mine site during the suspension period to maintain safety protocols, environmental monitoring, security measures and equipment maintenance. Non essential employees were sent home to self-isolate and stay healthy, while continuing to receive their base pay. The suspension of activities ceased in May 2020, when mining was declared an essential business by the Mexican government.

The Company implemented plans to minimize the risks of the COVID-19 virus, both to employees and to the business.  At each site, Endeavour is following government health protocols and is closely monitoring the pandemic with local health authorities.  The Company has posted health advisories to educate employees about the COVID-19 symptoms, best practices to avoid contracting and spreading the virus, and procedures to follow if symptoms are experienced.

The Company's long-term business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID 19 will have on third parties' ability to meet their obligations with the Company, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In particular, the continued spread of COVID 19 globally could materially and adversely impact the Company's business including without limitation, employee health, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, on-going restrictions to mining and processing operations and drill programs, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Company's control. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries (including those in which the Company operates), resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the Company's operating results and ability to raise capital. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held $86 million in cash and $113.1 million in working capital, the COVID-19 global pandemic is dynamic and given COVID-19 virus cases continue to rise at a significant rate across Mexico and globally, any future restrictions could have a material effect on the Company's financial position. Management believes there is sufficient working capital to meet the Company's current obligations, however the ultimate duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and could impact the financial liquidity of the Company.  The Company may be required to raise additional funds through future debt or equity financings in order to carry out its business plans. 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency of US dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Endeavour Management Corp., Endeavour Gold Corporation S.A. de C.V., EDR Silver de Mexico S.A. de C.V. SOFOM , Minera Santa Cruz Y Garibaldi S.A de C.V., Metalurgica Guanaceví S.A. de C.V., Minera Plata Adelante S.A. de C.V., Refinadora Plata Guanaceví S.A. de C. V., Minas Bolañitos S.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's annal audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the following:

Assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.  For the sale to be highly probable, management must be committed to , and have a plan to sell the assets, the assets must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and the sale must be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are measured at the lower or their original carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.  Impairment losses or impairment reversals on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in earnings or loss.  Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated.

The following amendment to accounting standards has been issued but not yet adopted in the financial statements:

On May 14, 2020, the IASB published a narrow scope amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use.  The amendment prohibits deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while preparing the asset for its intended use.  Instead, amounts received will be recognized as sales proceeds and the related costs in profit or loss.  The effective date is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.  The Company is assessing the effect of the narrow scope amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

4. OTHER INVESTMENTS

    March 31     December 31  
    2021     2020  
Balance at beginning of the period $ 4,767   $ 69  
Investment in marketable securities, at cost   882     5,497  
Disposals   (3,467 )   (862 )
Unrealized gain (loss)   1,530     63  
Balance at end of the period $ 3,712   $ 4,767  

The Company holds $3,712 in marketable securities that are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 18) and as financial assets measured at FVTPL.  The fair values of Level 1 marketable securities are determined based on the closing price of each particular security at the reporting date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, being the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the assets.

5. ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

      March 31     December 31  
  Note   2021     2020  
               
Trade receivables (1)   $ 4,800   $ 8,755  
IVA receivables (2)     8,825     9,666  
Other receivables     3,333     1,721  
Due from related parties 7   1     2  
    $ 16,959   $ 20,144  

(1) The trade receivables consist of receivables from provisional silver and gold sales from the Bolañitos, and El Compas mines.  The fair value of receivables arising from concentrate sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price on the measurement date from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal.  As such, these receivables, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (Note 18).

(2) The Company's Mexican subsidiaries pay value added tax, Impuesto al Valor Agregado ("IVA"), on the purchase and sale of goods and services. The net amount paid is recoverable but is subject to review and assessment by the tax authorities. The Company regularly files the required IVA returns and all supporting documentation with the tax authorities, however, the Company has been advised that certain IVA amounts receivable from the tax authorities are being withheld pending completion of the authorities' audit of certain of the Company's third-party suppliers. Under Mexican law the Company has legal rights to those IVA refunds and the results of the third-party audits should have no impact on refunds. A smaller portion of IVA refund requests are from time to time improperly denied based on the alleged lack of compliance of certain formal requirements and information returns by the Company's third-party suppliers. The Company takes necessary legal action on the delayed refunds as well as any improperly denied refunds. 

These delays and denials have occurred within Compania Minera del Cubo ("El Cubo") and Refinadora Plata Guanaceví S.A. de C.V. ("Guanaceví,").  At March 31, 2021, El Cubo holds $756 and Guanaceví holds $7,601 in IVA receivables which the Company and its advisors have determined to be recoverable from tax authorities (December 31, 2020 - $978 and $7,714 respectively). The Company is in regular contact with the tax authorities in respect of its IVA filings and believes the full amount of its IVA receivables will ultimately be received; however, the timing of recovery of these amounts and the nature and extent of any adjustments to the Company's IVA receivables remains uncertain. 

As at March 31, 2021, the total IVA receivable of $11,497 (December 31, 2020 - $12,342) has been allocated between the current portion of $8,825, which is included in accounts receivable, and a non-current portion of $2,672 (December 31, 2020 - $9,666 and $2,676 respectively).  The non-current portion is composed of El Cubo and Guanacevi of $336 and $1,431 respectively, which are currently under appeal and are unlikely to be received in the next 12 months.  The remaining $905 is IVA receivable for Terronera, which will not become recoverable until Terronera recognizes revenue for tax purposes.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company shares common administrative services and office space with a company related by virtue of a common director and from time to time will incur third party costs on behalf of related parties on a full cost recovery basis.  The charges for these costs totaled $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (March 31, 2020 - $1). The Company has a $1 net receivable related to these costs as of March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $2).

The Company was charged $141 for legal services for the three months ended March 31, 2021 by a legal firm in which the Company's corporate secretary is a partner (March 31, 2020 - $38). The Company has $73 payable to the legal firm as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $26).

17. INCOME TAXES

(a) Tax Assessments

Minera Santa Cruz y Garibaldi SA de CV ("MSCG"), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN 238 million assessment on October 12, 2010 by Mexican fiscal authorities for failure to provide the appropriate support for certain expense deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return, failure to provide appropriate support for loans made to MSCG from affiliated companies, and deemed an unrecorded distribution of dividends to shareholders, among other individually immaterial items. MSCG immediately initiated a Nullity action and filed an administrative attachment to dispute the assessment.

In June 2015, the Superior Court ruled in favour of MSCG on a number of the matters under appeal; however, the Superior Court ruled against MSCG for failure to provide appropriate support for certain deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return. In June 2016, the Company received a MXN 122.9 million ($6,000) tax assessment based on the June 2015 ruling.  The 2016 tax assessment comprised of MXN 41.8 million owed ($2,000) in taxes, MXN 17.7 million ($900) in inflationary charges, MXN 40.4 million ($2,000) in interest and MXN 23.0 million ($1,100) in penalties.  The 2016 tax assessment was issued for failure to provide the appropriate support for certain expense deductions taken in MSCG's 2006 tax return and failure to provide appropriate support for loans made to MSCG from affiliated companies. The MXN 122.9 million assessment includes interest and penalties. If MSCG agrees to pay the tax assessment, or a lesser settled amount, it is eligible to apply for forgiveness of 100% of the penalties and 50% of the interest.

The Company filed an appeal against the June 2016 tax assessment on the basis certain items rejected by the courts were included in the new tax assessment, and a number of deficiencies exist within the assessment. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 9.1 million ($500) and inflationary charges of MXN 13.7 million ($700) has accumulated.

Included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, are net assets of $595, including $42 in cash, held by MSCG. Following the Tax Court's rulings, MSCG is in discussions with the tax authorities with regards to the shortfall of assets within MSCG to settle its estimated tax liability. An alternative settlement option would be to transfer the shares and assets of MSCG to the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2021, the Company's income tax payable includes an allowance for transferring the shares and assets of MSCG amounting to $595.  The Company continues to assess MSCG's settlement options based on on-going court proceedings and discussion with the tax authorities. The Company continues to assess that it is probable that its appeal should prevail, and the maximum estimated exposure is the amount of the above allowance.

Compania Minera Del Cubo SA de CV ("Cubo"), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN 58.5 million ($2,900) assessment in 2019 by Mexican fiscal authorities for alleged failure to provide the appropriate support for depreciation deductions taken in the Cubo 2016 tax return and denied eligibility of deductions of certain suppliers.  The tax assessment consists of MXN 24.1 million ($1,200) for taxes, MXN 21.0 million ($1,100) for penalties, MXN 10.4 million ($500) for interest and MXN 3.0 million ($100) for inflation.  At the time of the tax assessment the Cubo entity had and continues to have sufficient loss carry forwards which would be applied against the assessed difference of taxable income. The Mexican tax authorities did not consider these losses in the assessment.

Due to the denial of certain suppliers for income tax purposes in the Cubo assessment, the invoices from these suppliers have been assessed as ineligible for refunds of IVA (value added taxes) paid on the invoices. The assessment includes MXN 14.7 million ($700) for re-payment of IVA refunded on these supplier payments.  In the Company's judgement the suppliers and invoices meet the necessary requirements to be deductible for income tax purposes and the recovery of IVA.

The Company filed an administrative appeal related to the 2016 Cubo tax assessment. The Company had previously provided a lien on certain El Cubo mining concessions during the appeal process.  As a condition of the sale of the El Cubo mine and related assets, the Company elected to pay the assessed amount of $3.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the appeal process the amount paid has been classified as a non-current income tax recoverable. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 9.9 million ($500) and inflationary charges of MXN 1.6 million ($100) had accumulated.  The Company continues to assess that it is probable that its appeal will prevail, and no provision is recognized in respect of the Cubo tax assessment.

Fair value measurements

Fair value hierarchy

Fair value is 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.  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.

Level 1:

Other investments are comprised of marketable securities.  When there is an active market are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the reporting date.  The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security.  As a result, $3,712 of these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deferred share units are determined based on a market approach reflecting the Company's closing share price.

Level 2:

The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to its trade receivables based on the quoted closing price obtained from the silver and gold metal exchanges. 

Level 3:

The Company has no assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, marketable securities included in Level 2 at December 31, 2020 with a fair market value of $497 were transferred to Level 1, as these securities began trading on an active market.
