NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
(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, 2020.
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.
As of March 31, 2020, the Mexican government declared a national health emergency with extraordinary measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous health precautions have been decreed, including the suspension of non-essential businesses, with only essential services to remain open. Mining does 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 is retaining essential personnel at each mine site during the suspension period to maintain safety protocols, environmental monitoring, security measures and equipment maintenance. Essential personnel are following the Company’s strict COVID-19 safety protocols and non-essential employees have been sent home to self-isolate and stay healthy, while continuing to receive their base pay. The suspension of activities may not be applicable after May 18, 2020, to municipalities that present low or no known cases or transmission of the COVID-19 virus. All three of the Company operating mines are located in municipalities that currently present low to no cases and the Company is planning to re-start operations on this premise.
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 situation 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 the 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, 2020, the Company held $15.0 million in cash and $27.2 million in working capital, however the temporary suspension imposed by the Mexican government will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. Management believes there is sufficient working capital to meets its current obligations, however the ultimate duration of the suspension or other future suspensions will impact liquidity. The Company has raised $1,840 subsequent to March 31, 2020 under its ATM facility and on April 28, 2020 filed a base shelf prospectus (see Note 10). The Company may be required to raise additional funds through future debt or equity financings in order to carry out its business plans. The Company will continue to monitor discretionary spending and capital needs during the temporary suspension of mining operations and the COVID-19 health crisis.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
(expressed in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise stated)
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. A. de C.V., Guanaceví Mining Services S.A. de C.V., Recursos Humanos Guanaceví S.A. de C.V., Recursos Villalpando S.A. de C.V., Servicios Administrativos Varal S.A. de C.V., Minera Plata Carina SPA, MXRT Holding Ltd., Compania Minera del Cubo S.A. de C.V., Minas Lupycal S.A. de C.V., Metales Interamericanos S.A. de C.V., Oro Silver Resources Ltd., Minera Oro Silver de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Terronera Precious Metals S.A. de C.V. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation of these subsidiaries.
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 annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 except that the Company has changed its presentation of concentrate treatment and refining costs of sales to presenting as a reduction in revenue. The prior period amounts have also been reclassified.
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, 2019 and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company considered the effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic, including its assumptions on liquidity (see Note 2) and long-lived asset impairment indicators. Management concluded the suspension of mining operations is temporary, therefore not an indicator of impairment for any of its mine CGUs.

(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 17).

16. INCOME TAXES
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 ($5,200) tax assessment based on the June 2015 ruling. The 2016 tax assessment comprised of MXN 41.8 million owed ($1,800) in taxes, MXN 17.7 million ($700) in inflationary charges, MXN 40.4 million ($1,700) in interest and MXN 23.0 million ($1,000) 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, while a number of deficiencies exist within the assessment. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 7.6 million ($300) and inflationary charges of MXN 11.5 million ($500) 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 December 31, 2019, the Company’s income tax payable includes an allowance for transferring the shares and assets of MSCG amounting to $595. The Company is currently assessing MSCG’s settlement options based on on-going court proceedings and discussion with the tax authorities.
Compania Minera Del Cubo SA de CV (“Cubo”), a subsidiary of the Company, received a MXN 58.5 million ($2,500) 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 ($1,000) for taxes, MXN 21.0 million ($900) for penalties, MXN 10.4 million ($400) for interest and MXN 3.0 million ($100) for inflation.
Due to the denial of certain suppliers for income tax purposes, the invoices are deemed ineligible for refunds of IVA paid on the invoices. The assessment includes MXN 14.7 million ($600) for re-payment of IVA (value added taxes) 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 has filed an administrative appeal related to the 2016 Cubo Tax assessment. Cubo has provided a lien on certain El Cubo mining concessions during the appeal process. Since issuance of the assessment interest charges of MXN 4.9 million ($200) and inflationary charges of MXN 0.9 million ($100) has accumulated.

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, which are comprised of Marketable securities, 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, 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.
The Company determines the fair value of the SARs liability using an option-pricing model.
Level 3:
The Company has no assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the period ended March 31, 2020.
