NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT S

June 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for all contracts using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this new guidance did not result in any changes to previously reported revenue amounts. Please see Note 3 for more information.

In March 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-05—I ncome Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 , which updates the income tax accounting in U.S. GAAP to reflect the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interpretive guidance released on December 22, 2017, when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. Please see Note 6 for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 — Leases (Topic 842). I n February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard regarding leases. Lessees will be required to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Public business entities are required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For calendar year-end public entities, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. T he Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2019 .

The Company has begun its assessment of the new guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures and expects to complete its analysis in 2018. Management is still completing its assessment of the impacts; however, based on preliminary findings, the Company expects that the majority of its identified leases will be required to be reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the preliminary

Table of Contents

assessment, the Company expects there will be minimal impacts to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects to have an update to the impacts of the standard in the third quarter of 2018.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07 — Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). In June 2018, the FASB issued new guidance regarding accounting for stock compensation. The new guidance expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public entities beginning December 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the adoption of ASC 606. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of d oré and concentrate. The following table presents the Company’s net sales disaggregated by source:

Total sales, net	$	30,768	$	21,391	$	62,919	$	45,727

Doré Revenue

Doré sales are recognized upon the satisfaction of performance obligations, which occurs when control of the doré transfers to the customer. Transfer of control occurs once the customer takes possession of the doré. Doré sales are recorded using quoted metal prices, net of refining charges.

Concentrates Revenue

Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sales prices, net of treatment and refining charges, at the time of delivery to the customer at which point the performance obligations are satisfied and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices of metals until final settlement occurs. The changes in price between the provisional sales price and final sales price are considered an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the quoted metal prices at the time of delivery. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through revenue each period prior to final settlement. Market changes in the

Table of Contents

prices of metals between the delivery and final settlement dates will result in adjustments to revenues related to previously recorded sales of concentrate. Sales are recorded net of charges for treatment, refining, smelting losses and other charges negotiated with the buyer. These charges are estimated upon delivery of concentrates based on contractual terms and adjusted to reflect actual charges at final settlement. Historically, actual charges have not varied materially from the Company’s initial estimates.

The Company periodically purchases gold and silver bullion on the open market for investment purposes and to use in its dividend exchange program under which shareholders may exchange their cash dividends for minted gold and silver rounds. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company purchased nil ounces and 151.55 ounces, respectively, of gold bullion.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s holdings of rounds/bullion, using quoted market prices, consisted of the following:

6. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.8 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The Company’s annualized effective rate differs from the U.S. corporate rate of 21% primarily due to differences in statutory rates for income and mining taxes in Mexico.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs, among other things. The Company has not revised any of the 2017 provisional estimates under SAB No. 118 and ASU No 2018-05. The Company continues to gather information and is awaiting further guidance from the IRS, SEC and FASB on the Tax Act.

The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary to U.S. in the form of dividends. Mexico requires a 10% withholding tax on dividends to foreign parent companies on all post-2013 earnings. Dividends from earnings generated prior to 2014 were exempted from the new dividend withholding tax. The Company plans to distribute post-2013 earnings from Mexico beginning in 2018. According to the existing

Table of Contents

U.S. – Mexico tax treaty, the dividend withholding tax between these countries is limited to 5% if certain requirements are met. Based on the Company’s review of these requirements, it estimates it will pay a 5% withholding tax on dividends received from Mexico in 2018. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2018 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

In 2015, the Mexican government approved a 2016 Federal Revenue Act that provides tax incentives, including tax credits on Mexican Excise Duty (a.k.a., IEPS), for the acquisition of combustible fossil fuels to be used in productive processes. The Company’s Mexican operations utilize a significant amount of diesel fuel for power generation that qualifies for such tax credits. These tax credits can be applied against income taxes payable, as well as other income tax withholdings during the year. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of fuel tax credits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of fuel tax credits. These fuel tax credits were used to offset production costs and such credits were applied against the income tax payable.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company believes that it has no liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company is required to post bonds with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for reclamation of planned mineral exploration and development programs associated with the Company’s mineral properties located on BLM lands in the United States. As a part of the permitting process for the Isabella Pearl project, the Company is currently required to have a reclamation bond of approximately $9.2 million held with the BLM. The Company purchased a surety contract for the reclamation bond which did not require any cash collateral. The Company is required to maintain the reclamation bond until all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed to the satisfaction of the BLM. The surety contract names the Company’s subsidiary Walker Lane Minerals Corp. as an indemnitor to the surety agreement. The surety may require additional collateral to be placed into the reclamation deposit account at their discretion. As of June 30, 2018, the Company did not incur any significant disturbances related to the Isabella Pearl project, therefore no reclamation and remediation liability has been recorded.

The Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of common stock in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, stock grants, stock units, performance shares, performance share units and performance cash. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, any award outstanding under the Prior Plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, a total of 14,964 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vested and shares were issued with an intrinsic and a fair value of $0.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,361,259 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $3.14 per share. Of that amount, 945,000 of the options were exercised on a net exercise basis, resulting in 244,345 shares being delivered. The remaining 416,259 options were exercised for cash .

17. Net Income per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. All the Company’s restricted stock units are considered to be dilutive.

The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Options to purchase 3.0 million and 2.8 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $11.65 and $9.42 were outstanding at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during those periods, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income per common share is calculated as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net income (in thousands)	$	3,754	$	864	$	9,211	$	5,240

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		58,314,123		57,375,938		58,153,350		57,744,817
Net income per share:

Diluted	$	0.06	$	0.02	$	0.16	$	0.09

18. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). 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;

Table of Contents

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

As required by accounting guidance, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth certain of the Company’s assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:


	2018		2017		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents:
Bank deposits	$	26,645	$	22,390	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion		3,664		3,812	Level 1
Accounts receivable:
Receivables from provisional concentrate sales		1,727		2,884	Level 2
	$	32,036	$	29,086

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Gold and silver rounds/bullion consist of precious metals used for investment purposes and in the dividend program which are valued using quoted market prices. Please see Note 4 for additional information. The Company determined that it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of its non-current investment in equity securities of $0.2 million and as such, it is reported at cost. There have been no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the investment.

Trade accounts receivable include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers. Concentrate sales contracts provide for provisional pricing as specified in such contracts. These sales contain an embedded derivative related to the provisional pricing mechanism which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to sales to reflect the mark-to-market of outstanding provisional invoices based on the forward price curve. Because these provisionally priced sales have not yet settled as of the reporting date, the mark-to-market adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an unrealized loss of $2.3 million and an unrealized gain of $0.4 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Please see Note 14 for additional information.

Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of these financial instruments were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as shown in the following table:

Table of Contents

projects within our Oaxaca Mining Unit and on developing the mine and processing facilities at our Isabella Pearl project within our Nevada Mining Unit. Our processing facilities at the Aguila project produce doré and concentrates primarily from ore mined from the Arista underground mine, which contains precious metals of gold and silver and base metals of copper, lead and zinc, and from the Mirador underground mine, which contains gold and silver . Additionally, we are focused exploration and development of our Nevada properties, including our Isabella Pearl project which is currently in development and construction.

Precious metal gold equivalent, used periodically throughout this discussion, is determined by taking gold ounces produced or sold, plus silver ounces produced or sold converted to precious metal gold equivalent ounces using the gold to silver average price ratio for the period. The gold and silver average prices used to determine the gold to silver average price ratio are the actual metal prices realized from sales of our gold and silver. Please see the section titled Non-GAAP Measures below for additional information concerning cash cost per ounce measures.

Exploration and Development Activities

Exploration activities are performed on our portfolio of exploration properties in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, U.S.A. All of the properties that make up our Oaxaca Mining Unit are located along what is known as the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur, which runs north 70 degrees west. Our properties comprise 55 kilometers of this structural corridor which spans three historic mining districts in Oaxaca. Our Nevada Mining Unit properties are in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt which is known for its significant and high-grade gold-silver production from current and historic mines. Our Nevada properties are in close proximity to each other for potential equipment and manpower synergies of future operations.

Oaxaca Mining Unit, Mexico

The Aguila Project : Our mine activities during the second quarter of 2018 continued to focus on development and ore extraction from the Arista and Switchback vein systems. Exploration activities during the quarter mainly focused on underground exploration drilling at the Switchback vein system in the Arista Mine. The Switchback drilling program continued to target further expansion and delineation of the multiple high-grade parallel veins for reserve definition, expansion and mine plan optimization. The Switchback vein system remains open on strike and vertical extent. During the second quarter, drilling also targeted the Santiago vein of the Arista vein system at depth and completed an initial phase of underground drilling targeting potential veins southwest of, and parallel to, the Arista vein system. Four underground diamond drill holes totaling 3,099 meters were completed at the Aguila project during the second quarter of 2018.

Table of Contents

Alta Gracia property : Mirador Mine development and access to previously identified mineralization continued during the second quarter of 2018. Exploration activities during the quarter included surface drilling targeting extensions of ore shoots on known veins, such as Independencia, Jarillas, San Juan and Victoria, that were historically mined on a small-scale. Sixteen holes totaling 3,174 meters were completed during the second quarter of 2018.

Margaritas property : During the second quarter of 2018, geological mapping and geochemical sampling commenced on the southeast extension of the gold and silver mineralized zone called “Trenes” identified at Margaritas. Trenes is located approximately 10 kilometers northwest of the Arista Mine along our 55-kilometer mineralized trend. Interpretation of results from this work along with previous surface drilling, geological mapping and rock chip channel sampling will be used for preparation of a future surface drilling program.

Nevada Mining Unit, U.S.A.

Isabella Pearl Project: After we obtained all the necessary permits, we commenced construction of mine and processing facilities at our Isabella Pearl property on June 18, 2018. We are planning to produce gold doré from open pit, heap leach operations at the property. First gold production from Isabella Pearl is targeted in less than 12 months from commencement of construction. We are targeting a more than 100% increase to our annual consolidated gold production from Isabella Pearl’s first full year of commercial production. As of June 30, 2018, clearing and grubbing activities have commenced and we have secured most of our long lead-time equipment.

Exploration work during the second quarter included 19 in-fill and step-out holes totaling 1,420 meters on the Isabella Pearl deposit. Surface mapping and rock chip sampling also identified a new high-grade surface gold mineralized area located on the northeast side of the Isabella Pearl deposit. This area is targeted for surface drilling in the future.

During the second quarter of 2018, we released our initial mineral reserve report and feasibility study for the Isabella Pearl project. Proven and probable reserves (with a drill data cutoff date of December 31, 2017) include 2,694,500 tonnes grading 2.22 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 13 g/t silver, equating to 192,600 gold ounces and 1,129,100 silver ounces. Please see our website at www.goldresourcecorp.com for more information.

Mina Gold property: We completed a surface reverse circulation drilling program targeting expansion along strike and to depth the known surface high-grade gold mineralization on our patented claims. Eleven holes totaling 885 meters were completed during the second quarter.

East Camp Douglas property: We continued to review historical geological, exploration and mining data on the East Camp Douglas property during the second quarter of 2018. Exploration activities included examinations and surveying of the historic mine workings in the Cerro Duro mine area and historic drill collars. Analysis of a lithocap area rock chip grid sample program taken in the final quarter 2017 also continued in preparation of surface drill targeting in the future.

County Line property: We continued to review of historical geological, exploration and mining data along with conducting surface mapping and rock chip sampling at the County Line property .

Gold Mesa property: We conducted a thorough review of all reverse circulation drilling completed to-date, including the most recent results from our latest drill program. In July, based on our review, we terminated our option agreement on the property.

Sales, net

Net sales of $30.8 million for the second quarter of 2018 increased by $9.4 million, or 44%, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily a result of higher sales volume and prices for base metals and higher silver sales volumes. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, average realized prices for base metals increased from the same period in 2017 as follows: copper by 20% to $6,888 per tonne, lead by 10% to $2,389 per tonne, and zinc by 22% to $3,110 per tonne. During the same period, the average metal price for silver decreased by 7% from 2017 prices.

Metal sales for the first half of the year of 2018 were $62.9 million as compared to $45.7 million for the same period of 2017, representing a $17.2 million increase. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes and realized base metal prices. Base metal sales volume in 2018 increased significantly over 2017 as follows: copper by 64%, lead by 55%, and zinc by 48%.

Please see the Sales Statistics table below for additional information regarding our mineral sales statistics.

Production

Gold and silver production for the second quarter of 2018 totaled 5,806 ounces and 593,955 ounces, respectively, compared to 5,696 and 397,670 ounces over the same period in 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, combined milled tonnage averaged an historic high of 1,735 tonnes per day, an increase of 34% when compared to the same period in 2017.

Approximately 60% of Arista Mine production in the second quarter of 2018 came from the Switchback vein system. Level development of the Switchback vein system continued along strike towards the northwest.

Aguila open pit ore production continued as per plan at slightly lower levels than in previous periods. The Mirador Mine ore production increased by 41% in the second quarter of 2018 from the first quarter of 2018. The agitated leach plant production averaged approximately 160 tonnes per day for the second quarter of 2018. Both the Aguila open pit ore and Mirador Mine are treated in our Agitated Leach Processing Plant on a batch basis.

For the first half of 2018, we produced 12,453 and 1,019,839 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, as compared to 12,443 and 825,560 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, over the same period in 2017. The increase in gold and silver production was the result of higher mill throughput. Our gold recoveries in the first half of 2018 at the Arista Mine decreased by 10% as a result of a change in the metallurgical response of the mill feed. The different response is related in part to Switchback ore characteristics.

On a precious metal gold equivalent basis, our mill production totaled 13,335 ounces and 25,211 ounces for the second quarter and first six months of 2018, compared to 11,133 ounces and 24,014 ounces for the same period of 2017. See the Production Statistics table below for additional information regarding our mineral production statistics.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 5,460 gold ounces and 561,009 silver ounces at a total cash cost after by-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce of $70 as a result of strong base metal sales during the quarter. Please see Non-GAAP Measures below for additional information concerning the cash cost per ounce measures .

Metal production represents metal contained in concentrates and doré produced at our Aguila processing facility, which is before payable metal deductions are levied by the buyers. Payable metals deductions are defined in our contracts with the buyers and represent estimates of metals contained in the concentrates and doré which the buyers deduct from payment. There are inherent limitations and differences in the sampling method and assaying of estimated metal contained in concentrates and doré that are shipped, and those contained metal estimates are derived from sampling methods and assaying throughout the production process. We monitor these differences to ensure that precious metal production quantities are materially correct.

Other Financial Results

Mine gross profit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, mine gross profit increased by $4.3 million or 82% and $6.8 million or 43%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased metals sales volumes and increased base metal prices .

General and administrative expenses. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.2 million and $4.6 million as compared to $1.7 million and $3.5 million for the same periods in 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher legal and accounting fees. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2018, we accrued additional compensation costs related to our short-term incentive plan. Please see

Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Exploration expenses. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, exploration expenses totaled $1.3 million and $2.4 as compared to $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increased exploration expense was primarily the result of increased drilling at our Aguila project in Mexico and Gold Mesa property in Nevada.

Other expense. F or the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded other expense of $0.5 million and $0.8 million as compared to other expense of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The $0.3 million change in six months ended June 30, 2018 was a result of a decrease in foreign currency losses as the Mexican peso weakened in 2018 as compared to 2017. Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 did not materially change from the same period in 2017. Please see

Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this report, we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced some non-GAAP performance measures which we believe will assist with understanding the performance of our business. These measures are based on precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold and include cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost (credit) after by-product credits per ounce, total all-in sustaining cost per ounce (“AISC”) and all-in cost per ounce (“AIC”). Because the non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP, nor are they indicative of future performance.

Total cash cost, after by-product credits, is a measure developed by the Gold Institute in an effort to provide a uniform standard for comparison purposes. The guidance was first issued in 1996 and revised in November 1999. AISC and AIC are calculated based on guidance from the World Gold Council issued in June 2013.

Total cash cost before by-product credits includes all direct and indirect production costs related to our production of metals (including mining, milling and other plant facility costs, smelter treatment and refining charges, royalties, and site general and administrative costs) less stock-based compensation allocated to production costs plus treatment and refining costs.

Total cash cost (credit) after by-product credits includes total cash cost before by-product credits less by-product credits, or revenues earned from base metals.

AISC includes total cash cost (credit) after by-product credits plus other costs related to sustaining production, including sustaining allocated general and administrative expenses and sustaining capital expenditures. We determined sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan .

AIC includes all-in sustaining costs plus non-sustaining capital expenditures and exploration expense related to the Oaxaca Mining Unit. Exploration and capital expenditures to develop new properties outside our Oaxaca Mining Unit are excluded from this calculation .

Cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost (credit) after by-product credits per ounce, AISC and AIC are calculated by dividing the relevant costs, as determined using the cost elements noted above, by precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold for the periods presented.

As of June 30, 2018, we had working capital of $27.7 million, consisting of current assets of $46.2 million and current liabilities of $18.5 million. This represents an increase of $0.2 million from the working capital balance of $27.5 million at December 31, 2017. Our working capital balance fluctuates as we use cash to fund our operations, financing and investing activities, including exploration, mine development, income taxes and shareholder dividends.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.3 million to $26.6 million during the first half of 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $19.5 million increased by $5.5 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in net income and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities of $15.1 million increased $4.1 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 due to increased mine development in our Arista Mine, the development of our Isabella Pearl property, and the purchase of the County Line property.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had net cash of $0.1 million provided by financing activities as compared to a net cash use of $0.6 million for the same period in 2017. The change of $0.7 million was a result of cash proceeds received from stock option exercises which were partially offset with loan and capital lease payments in 2018. No such transactions occurred in 2017.

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2018, we have incurred $11.3 million of the approximate $30 million total development costs for Isabella Pearl. To fund the remaining capital requirements, we are currently evaluating the use of cash, equity financing, debt financing, or a combination thereof. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available when or if needed upon acceptable terms, or at all.

To provide financial flexibility, on April 3, 2018, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with an investment banking firm that may act as our sales agent with respect to the offer and sale from time to time of our shares of common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $75.0 million. The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of April 3, 2021, or the date that the ATM Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. No sales have been made pursuant to the ATM Agreement as of June 30, 2018.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes in our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2017.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:

statements about our future exploration, permitting, production, and plans for development of our properties;

statements concerning the benefits that we expect will result from our business activities and certain transactions that we contemplate or have completed, such as receipt of proceeds, decreased expenses and avoided expenses and expenditures; and

statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, our targets, exploration activities, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.

These statements may be made expressly in this document or may be incorporated by reference from other documents that we will file with the SEC. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “targets,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions used in this report or incorporated by reference in this report.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied in those statements. Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is

Table of Contents

based on present facts and assumptions, which may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions.

Risk Factors Impacting Forward-Looking Statements

The important factors that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, but are not limited to, those set forth in other reports we have filed with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the following:

Changes in the worldwide price for gold and/or silver;

Volatility in the equities markets;

Adverse results from our exploration or production efforts;

Producing at rates lower than those targeted;

Political and regulatory risks;

Weather conditions, including unusually heavy rains;

Earthquakes or other unforeseen ground movements impacting mining or processing;

Failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;

Decline in demand for our common stock;

Downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;

Technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

Investor perception of our industry or our prospects;

Lawsuits;

Actions by government central banks; and

General economic trends.

We undertake no responsibility or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, but may do so in the future in written or oral statements. Investors should take note of any future statements made by us or on our behalf.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, provisional sales contract risks, changes in interest rates, and equity price risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk; however, we may consider such arrangements in the future as we evaluate our business and financial strategy.

Commodity Price Risk

The results of our operations depend in large part upon the market prices of gold, silver, and base metal prices of copper, lead and zinc. Gold and silver prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, the stability of exchange rates, the world supply of and demand for gold, silver and other metals, among other factors, can all cause significant fluctuations in commodity prices. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. The price of gold and silver has fluctuated widely in recent years, and future price declines could cause a mineral project to become uneconomic, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We have not entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for gold or silver. We may in the

Table of Contents

future more actively manage our exposure through derivative contracts or other commodity price risk management programs, although we have no intention of doing so in the near-term.

In addition to adversely affecting our reserve estimates, results of operations and/or our financial condition, declining gold and silver prices could require a reassessment of the feasibility of a project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause delays in the implementation of a project.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase or decrease our costs to the extent we pay costs in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by Mexican peso rate changes relative to the U.S. Dollar, as we incur some costs in Mexican peso. When the value of the peso rises in relation to the U.S. Dollar, some of our costs in Mexico may increase, thus affecting our operating results. Alternatively, when the value of the peso drops in relation to the US Dollar, peso-denominated costs in Mexico will decrease in U.S. Dollar terms. These fluctuations do not impact our revenues since we sell our metals in U.S. dollars. Future fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect our financial results.

We have not utilized market-risk sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates but may in the future actively manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Provisional Sales Contract Risk

We enter into concentrate sales contracts which, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates determined at the quoted metal prices at the time of delivery. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through revenue each period prior to settlement. Changes in the prices of metals between the delivery and final settlement date will result in adjustments to revenues related to the sales of concentrate previously recorded upon delivery . Please see Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding debt, at fixed rates, consisted of an equipment loan and leased equipment classified as capital leases. As the debt is at fixed rates, we consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time.

Equity Price Risk

We have in the past sought and may in the future seek to acquire additional funding by sale of common stock and other equity. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell our common stock at an acceptable price should the need for new equity funding arise.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our

Table of Contents

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
