Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.  General Information
 
Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado” or the “Company”) is a gold exploration, development and mining company. The Company has operations and ongoing exploration and development projects in Turkey, China, Greece, Brazil and Romania. The Company acquired control of European Goldfields Ltd. (“EGU”) in February 2012, including its producing mine, Stratoni, and development projects, Olympias and Skouries in Greece and Certej in Romania.
 
Eldorado is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada.

2.  Basis of preparation
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The same accounting policies are used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except as included in note 3, as for the most recent audited annual financial statements and reflect all the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS for the interim periods presented.
 
3.  Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes
 
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been adopted by the company commencing January 1, 2013:
 
·  
IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’ – On June 16, 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published a revised version of IAS 19.  The revised IAS 19 (“IAS 19R”) represents IASB’s effort to improve the accounting for employee retirement benefits.  The revisions include:
 
-  
Requirement to recognize past service costs immediately in net income rather than using the corridor method.
-  
Requirement to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income OCI. Previously, companies had the option of recognizing actuarial gains and losses through OCI immediately or via use of the corridor method.
-  
Requirement that expected return on plan assets be calculated based on the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation which is based on high quality bond yields.  Previously, equity returns were incorporated into the expected return on plan assets.
-  
Requirement for more disclosure relating to the characteristics and risks of the amounts in the financial statements regarding defined benefit plans, including the timing and uncertainty of the entity’s cash flows.
 
The adoption of this standard had a nominal impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Therefore comparative periods have not been restated.
 
·  
IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ – This IFRS establishes control as the basis for an investor to consolidate its investee; it defines control as an investor’s power over the investee with exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee and the ability to affect the investor’s return through its power over the investee. At January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

3.  Adoption of new accounting standards and upcoming changes (continued)
 
·  
IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ – This standard replaces the guidance in IAS 31 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’.  Under IFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures.  Joint ventures entities are now accounted for using the equity method. 
 
  
Upon application of IFRS 11, entities which had previously accounted for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation shall collapse the proportionately consolidated net asset value into a single investment balance at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  The investment’s opening balance is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 28 and IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’.  Any impairment losses are recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. At January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this standard and there was no impact on its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
 
·  
IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ – This IFRS is a new standard that applies to companies with an interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates or unconsolidated structured entities.  The application of this standard intends to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with its interests in other entities, and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Companies are now required to disclose information about significant judgments and assumptions made in determining the control of another entity, the joint control of an arrangement or significant influence over another entity and the type of joint arrangement when the arrangement has been structured through a separate vehicle.  At January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this standard. The adoption did not require any adjustments to its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements but will require extended disclosures at year end.
 
·  
IFRS 13 ‘Fair value measurement’ – This IFRS aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS. At January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this standard and the required disclosures are included in note 10 of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
 
·  
IFRIC 20 ‘Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine’ – This interpretation applies to waste removal costs that are incurred in open pit mining activity during the production phase of the mine.  Recognition of a stripping activity asset requires the asset to be related to an identifiable component of the ore body.  Stripping costs that relate to inventory produced should be accounted for as a current production cost in accordance with IAS 2, ‘Inventories’. Stripping costs that generate a benefit of improved access and meet the definition of an asset should be accounted for as an addition to an existing asset.  Existing stripping costs on the balance sheet at transition that do not relate to a specific ore body should be written off to opening retained earnings. The stripping activity asset shall be depreciated on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity.  At January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this interpretation and there was no impact on its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
 
·  
IFRIC 21 ‘Levies’ – This interpretation of IAS 37,  ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, applies to the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the impact of adoption of this standard.

4.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, 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.
 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
 
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include assumptions and estimates relating to determining defined proven and probable reserves, value beyond proven and probable reserves, fair values for purposes of purchase price allocations for business acquisitions, asset impairment analyses, asset retirement obligations, share-based payments and warrants, pension benefits, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, the provision for income tax liabilities, deferred income taxes and assessing and evaluating contingencies.
 
Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Outlined below are some of the areas which require management to make estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values.
 
Purchase price allocation
Business combinations require estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining asset and liability fair values and the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
 
In respect of mining company acquisitions, such as the acquisition of EGU in February 2012, purchase consideration is typically allocated to the mineral reserves and resources being acquired. The estimate of reserves and resources is subject to assumptions relating to life of the mine and may change when new information becomes available. Changes in reserves and resources as a result of factors such as production costs, recovery rates, grade or reserves or commodity prices could impact depreciation rates, asset carrying values and environmental and restoration provisions. Changes in assumptions over long-term commodity prices, market demand and supply, and economic and regulatory climates could also impact the carrying value of assets, including goodwill.
 
Estimated recoverable reserves and resources
Mineral reserve and resource estimates are based on various assumptions relating to operating matters, including, with respect to production costs, mining and processing recoveries, cut-off grades, as well as assumptions relating to long-term commodity prices and, in some cases, exchange rates, inflation rates and capital costs. Cost estimates are based on feasibility study estimates or operating history. Estimates are prepared by appropriately qualified persons, but will be impacted by forecasted commodity prices, inflation rates, exchange rates, capital and production costs and recoveries amongst other factors. Estimated recoverable reserves and resources are used to determine the depreciation of property, plant and equipment at operating mine sites, in accounting for deferred stripping costs, in performing impairment testing and for forecasting the timing of the payment of decommissioning and restoration costs. Therefore, changes in the assumptions used could impact the carrying value of assets, depreciation and impairment charges recorded in the income statement and the carrying value of the decommissioning and restoration provision.
 
Current and deferred taxes
 
The Company calculates current and deferred tax provisions for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Actual amounts of income tax expense are not final until tax returns are filed and accepted by the relevant authorities. This occurs subsequent to the issuance of financial statements. Therefore, profit in subsequent periods will be affected by the amount that estimates differ from the final tax return.
 
Estimates of recoverability are required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet. The Company also evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are recognized unless the reversal of the temporary differences is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future and can be controlled.

4.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
 
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, decommissioning and restoration costs, capital expenditures, dividends and other capital management transactions.
 
Judgement is also required in the application of income tax legislation. These estimates and judgments are subject to risk and uncertainty and could result in an adjustment to current and deferred tax provisions and a corresponding credit or debit to profit.
 
5.  Acquisition of European Goldfields Ltd.
 
On February 24, 2012 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EGU.  Under the terms of the Arrangement former EGU shareholders received 0.85 of an Eldorado common share and C$0.0001 in cash for each EGU share. Eldorado issued 157,959,316 common shares pursuant to the Arrangement.  EGU holds a 95% stake in the Kassandra Mines district in Greece, which is comprised of the Stratoni Mine, and the Olympias and Skouries development projects, and an 80% stake in the Certej development project in Romania.
 
The Company acquired EGU to increase its presence in the Aegean region and leverage local operating knowledge and expertise.
 
The goodwill of $473,782 resulting from the acquisition arises mainly on the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and non-controlling interests and represents, among other things, the exploration potential within the assets acquired and future variability in the price of minerals. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
 
In April 2007, Hellas Gold (“Hellas”), a subsidiary of EGU, agreed to sell to Silver Wheaton (Caymans) Ltd. (“Silver Wheaton”) all of the silver metal to be produced from ore extracted during the mine-life within an area of approximately seven square kilometres around the Stratoni mine up to 15 million ounces, or 20 million ounces if additional silver is processed through the Stratoni mill from areas other than the current producing mine. The sale was made in consideration of a prepayment to Hellas of $57.5 million in cash, plus a payment per ounce of payable silver equal to the lesser of $3.90 and the prevailing market price per ounce calculated, due and payable at the time of delivery. The expected cash flows associated with the sale of the silver to Silver Wheaton at a price lower than market price have been reflected in the fair value of the mining interest recorded upon acquisition of EGU. The Company has presented the value of any expected future cash flows from the sale of any future silver production to Silver Wheaton as part of the mining interest, as the Company did not receive any of the original upfront payment. Further, the Company does not believe that the agreement to sell to Silver Wheaton meets the definition of an onerous contract or other liability as the obligation only arises upon production of the silver.

The purchase price allocation was finalized as at March 31, 2013. There were no changes from what was reported in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The fair value of the common shares and replacement options issued and the equity settled deferred phantom units (“DPUs”) as part of the consideration paid for EGU was based on the closing share price on February 24, 2012 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The value of the replacement options was calculated using the Black-Scholes model.  The following inputs were used to value the replacement options:
 
       
Risk-free interest rate
    1.28 %
Expected volatility (range)
    39% – 44 %
Expected life (range)
 
0.7 – 1.7 years
 
Expected dividends per share
 
Cdn $0.09
 
Forfeiture rate
    0 %

Acquisition related costs of $552 have been charged to transaction costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (2012 YTD – $20,005).
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2012 include EGU’s results from February 24, 2012 to September 30, 2012. The revenue included in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for the period from February 24, 2012 to September 30, 2012 contributed by EGU was $34,358.  This was from the sales of zinc, lead and silver concentrates produced at the Stratoni Mine in Greece. The net loss before tax was $18,776.
 
Had EGU been consolidated from January 1, 2012, the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for the period ended September 30, 2012 would include revenue of $42,136 and a net loss before tax of $41,820 from EGU.
 
Eldorado received net cash of $18,789 as a result of the EGU transaction. This net increase of cash was a result of an acquired cash balance of $18,808 less cash consideration of $19.

(a) Jinfeng CMB working capital loan
 
On January 16, 2013, Jinfeng entered into a RMB 100.0 million ($16,265) working capital loan with CMB. Each drawdown bears fixed interest at the prevailing lending rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China on the date of drawdown. The Facility has a term of up to one year, from January 16, 2013 to January 14, 2014. The facility is unsecured.
 
As at September 30, 2013, Jinfeng has drawn down the full amount of RMB 100.0 million ($16,265) under this facility, in three tranches, and has used the proceeds to fund working capital obligations. All tranches of the loan have a term of six months and a fixed interest rate of 5.6%.
 
(b) Eastern Dragon HSBC revolving loan facility
 
In March 2013, Eastern Dragon re-paid the full amount of this loan.
 
(c) Senior notes
 
On December 10, 2012, the Company completed an offering of $600.0 million senior notes (“the notes”) at par value, with a coupon rate of 6.125% due December 15, 2020.  The notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15.  Net deferred financing costs of $15,481 have been included as an offset in the balance of the notes in the financial statements and are being amortized over the term of the notes.
 
The fair market value of the notes as at September 30, 2013 was $581.3 million.
 
(d) Entrusted loan
 
In November 2010, Eastern Dragon, HSBC Bank (China) and Qinghai Dachaidan Mining Ltd (“QDML”), our 90% owned subsidiary, entered into a RMB 12.0 million ($1,952) entrusted loan agreement, which has been increased to RMB 720.0 million ($117,111) through a series of amendments.
 
Under the terms of the entrusted loan, QDML with its own funds entrusts HSBC Bank (China) to provide a loan facility in the name of QDML to Eastern Dragon. The loan can be drawn down in tranches. Each drawdown bears interest fixed at the prevailing lending rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China on the date of drawdown. Each draw down has a term of three months and can be rolled forward at the discretion of QDML. The interest rate on this loan as at September 30, 2013 was 4.59%.
 
As at September 30, 2013, RMB 629.0 million ($102,310) had been drawn under the entrusted loan. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, RMB 1.5 million ($244) was drawn under this loan.

8.  Income tax expense and deferred taxes
 
On January 11, 2013 the government of Greece enacted legislation increasing the corporate income tax rate from 20% to 26%, effective January 1, 2013.  As required by IAS 12, “Income Taxes”, when an income tax rate has changed the deferred tax liability must be adjusted to reflect the change in the income tax rate.  This non-cash adjustment is required to be charged to deferred income tax expense. The Company recorded the adjustment during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increasing its deferred tax liability and deferred tax expense by $125.2 million.
 
9.  Share capital
 
Eldorado’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of voting common shares without par value and an unlimited number of non-voting common shares without par value. At September 30, 2013 there were no non-voting common shares outstanding (December 31, 2012none).

At September 30, 2013, 199,034 deferred share units (“DSUs”) were outstanding with a value of $1,425, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
Compensation expense related to the DSUs was $80 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 (YTD income – $280).
 
11.  Fair value of financial instruments
 
Fair values are determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market, when available, or by using a valuation technique that uses inputs observed from relevant markets.
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
·  
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
·  
Level 2 – Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e.,quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).
 
·  
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as at September 30, 2013 include:

11. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
 
No liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2013.
 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily publicly-traded equity investments classified as held-for-trading securities or available-for-sale securities.
 
The following table provides the carrying value and the fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

13.  Segment information
 
Identification of reportable segments
 
The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management (the chief operating decision makers or CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
 
The CODM considers the business from both a geographic and product perspective and assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities. These measures include gross profit (loss), expenditures on exploration, property, plant and equipment and non-current assets, as well as total debt. As at September 30, 2013, Eldorado had six reportable segments based on the geographical location of mining and exploration and development activities.
 
13.1  Geographical segments
 
Geographically, the operating segments are identified by country and by operating mine or mine under construction as follows:
 
·  
The Brazil reporting segment includes the Vila Nova mine, development activities of Tocantinzinho and exploration activities in Brazil.
 
·  
The Turkey reporting segment includes the Kişladağ and the Efemçukuru mines and exploration activities in Turkey.
 
·  
The China reporting segment includes the Tanjianshan (“TJS”), Jinfeng and White Mountain mines, the Eastern Dragon development project and exploration activities in China.
 
·  
The Greece reporting segment includes the Stratoni mine and the Olympias, Skouries and Perama Hill development projects and exploration activities in Greece.
 
·  
The Romania reporting segment includes the Certej development project and exploration activities in Romania.
 
·  
Other reporting segment includes operations of Eldorado’s corporate office and exploration activities in other countries.
 
Financial information about each of these operating segments is reported to the CODM on at least a monthly basis.
