Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation — The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Coeur” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated during consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. All references to June 30, 2012 or to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Areas requiring significant management estimates and assumptions include: recoverable ounces from proven and probable reserves that are the basis of future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortization calculations; useful lives utilized for depreciation and amortization; estimates of future cash flows for long-lived assets; estimates of recoverable gold and silver ounces in ore on leach pad; amount and timing of reclamation and remediation costs; valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; assessment of valuation allowance for value added tax receivables; and employee benefit liabilities.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-04 which included new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This standard provides guidance on the application of fair value accounting where it is already required or permitted by other standards. This standard also requires additional disclosures related to transfers of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to significant unobservable inputs. In addition, the standard includes specifications for the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. The adoption of this standard has no material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements, for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 which includes guidance for presentation of comprehensive income and requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance was effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company chose to use the two-statement approach and the update had no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 201): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." This ASU adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the disclosure requirements for our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 632,213 shares of common stock equivalents related to equity-based awards have not been included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 1,056,901 and 1,419,282, respectively, shares of common stock equivalents related to convertible debt and equity based awards

Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (Continued)

have not been included in the diluted per share calculation as the shares would be antidilutive. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes were not included in the computation of diluted earning per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 because there is no excess value upon conversion over the principle amount of the Notes.
The effect of potentially dilutive stock outstanding as of June 30, 2012, and 2011 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards establish 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;
Level 2
Quoted market 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).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

The Company’s short-term investments are readily convertible to cash and, therefore, these investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair market value in the financial statements based on quoted market prices, which are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s derivative instruments related to the put and call options, silver ounces receivable from Mandalay, royalty obligation embedded derivative, and other derivative instruments, net, which relate to the concentrate sales contracts and foreign exchange contracts, are valued using pricing models which require inputs that are derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, forward market prices, yield curves and credit spreads. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company had no Level 3 financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
There were no transfers between levels of fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities during the first six months of 2012.

The fair value at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding were determined by market transactions. As such, the notes are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation is valued using a pricing model which requires inputs that are derived from observable market data, including contractual terms, yield curves, and credit spreads. The model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. As such, the obligation is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Kensington Term Facility is valued at the outstanding principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest which approximates book value. The interest rate is periodically adjusted per contractual terms to give effect to current rates that market participants would consider when pricing the obligation.
The fair value of the Company's cash equivalents, receivables, restricted assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and capital leases approximate book value due to the nature of these assets and liabilities and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, except for capital leases which are classified as Level 2.
The fair value of the Company's non-current portion of the refundable value added tax is not practicable to estimate due to the uncertainty of the timing of the expected future cash flows to be received.
NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies the marketable securities in which it invests as available-for-sale securities. Such securities are measured at fair market value in the financial statements with unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). At the time securities are sold or otherwise disposed of, gains or losses are included in net income. The equity securities reflected in the table below consist of equity securities of silver and gold exploration and development companies that the Company purchased. The following table summarizes the Company’s available-for-sale securities on hand as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

In the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $5.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss). In the six months ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $5.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company performs a quarterly assessment on each of their marketable securities with unrealized losses to determine if the security is other than temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until they recover or increase in value. The Company’s management team uses industry knowledge and expertise and has determined that these unrealized losses are not other than temporary based on a review of the potential for each company in which it currently holds investments.

There were no allowances against receivable balances at December 31, 2011.
Taxes paid to foreign governments that are refundable to the Company are classified as “Refundable value added tax” at the face value of the amount of the tax refund due. Refunds expected to be received in the next twelve months are classified as “current” and amounts that are expected to be received after twelve months are classified as “non-current”.

Operational Mining Properties
Palmarejo Mine: Palmarejo is located in the State of Chihuahua in northern Mexico, and its principal silver and gold properties are collectively referred to as the “Palmarejo mine.” The Palmarejo mine commenced production in April 2009.

San Bartolomé Mine: The San Bartolomé mine is a silver mine located near the city of Potosi, Bolivia. The mineral rights for the San Bartolomé project are held through long-term joint venture/lease agreements with several local independent mining co-operatives and the Bolivian state owned mining organization, (“COMIBOL”). The Company commenced commercial production at San Bartolomé in June 2008.
Kensington Mine: The Kensington mine is an underground gold mine and consists of the Kensington and adjacent Jualin properties located on the east side of the Lynn Canal about 45 miles north-northwest of Juneau, Alaska. The Company commenced commercial production in July of 2010.
Rochester Mine: The Company has conducted operations at the Rochester mine, located in Western Nevada, since September 1986. The mine utilizes the heap-leaching process to extract both silver and gold from ore mined using open pit methods. Rochester’s primary product is silver with gold produced as a by-product.
Martha Mine: The Martha mine is an underground silver mine located in Argentina. Coeur acquired a 100% interest in the Martha mine in April 2002. Due to high operating costs and a short remaining expected mine life, the Company evaluated strategic and operational alternatives for the Martha mine and recorded an impairment charge of $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Mineral Interests
Endeavor Mine: In May 2005, CDE Australia Pty Ltd, (“CDE Australia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur acquired the silver production and reserves, up to a maximum 17.7 million  payable ounces, contained at the Endeavor mine in Australia, which is owned and operated by Cobar Operations Pty. Limited (“Cobar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBH Resources Ltd. (“CBH”). In March 2006, CDE Australia entered into an amended agreement under which it owns all silver production and reserves up to a total of 20.0 million payable ounces.

12
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (Continued)

CDE Australia began realizing reductions in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of a silver price sharing provision that was part of the purchase agreement. CDE Australia has received approximately 4.0 million payable ounces to-date and the current ore reserve contains approximately 3.5 million payable ounces based on current metallurgical recovery and current smelter contract terms.
Non-Producing and Development Properties
Joaquin Project – Argentina: The Joaquin project is located in the Santa Cruz province of southern Argentina. The Company commenced exploration of this large property, consisting of over 28,450 hectares (70,300 acres) north of the Company's Martha silver mine, in November 2007. Since that time the Company has defined silver and gold mineralization in two deposits at Joaquin, La Negra and La Morocha, collectively referred to as the "Joaquin Project," and has recently commenced work on detailed drilling and other technical, economic and environmental programs which it expects will lead to completion of pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. The Company has not capitalized any expenditures associated with the Joaquin Project as of June 30, 2012.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding balance of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 was $48.7 million, or $46.8 million net of debt discount. The notes are classified as current liabilities as of June 30, 2012 as a result of the holders' option to require the Company to repurchase the notes on March 15, 2013.
The fair value of the notes outstanding, as determined by market transactions at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $46.8 million and $49.2 million, respectively. The carrying value of the equity component at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $10.9 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 interest expense recognized was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 interest expense recognized was $0.8 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 accretion of the debt discount was $0.6 million and $0.6, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 accretion of the debt discount was $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The debt discount remaining at June 30, 2012 was $1.9 million, which will be amortized through March 15, 2013. The effective interest rate on the notes was 8.9%.
Kensington Term Facility
As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding balance of the Kensington Term Facility was $72.0 million.
As a condition to the Kensington term facility with Credit Suisse, the Company agreed to enter into a gold hedging program which protects a minimum of 243,750 ounces of gold production over the life of the term facility against the risk associated with fluctuations in the market price of gold. This program consists of a series of zero cost collars which consist of a floor price and a ceiling price of gold. Call options protecting 111,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at June 30, 2012. The weighted average strike price of the call options was $1,971.94. Put options protecting 156,000 ounces of gold were outstanding at June 30, 2012. The weighted average strike price of the put options was $958.16.
The Amended Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary, including financial covenants that Coeur Alaska’s debt to equity ratio shall not exceed 40%, the ratio of projected cash flow to debt service shall be at least 125%, the tangible net worth of the Borrower is not less than $325 million and the tangible net worth of the Guarantor is no less than $1.0 billion. Project covenants include covenants as to performance of sales contracts, maintenance and management. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with the debt service ratio covenant. The bank has waived that requirement of the agreement for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company capitalizes interest incurred on its various debt instruments as a cost of properties under development. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized interest of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, and $1.7 million and $0.4 million respectively.
NOTE 11 – RECLAMATION AND MINE CLOSURE
Reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties. The Company uses assumptions about future costs, mineral prices, mineral processing recovery rates, production levels, capital costs and reclamation costs. Such assumptions are based on the Company’s current mining plan and the best available information for making such estimates. The sum of the expected costs by year is discounted, using the Company's credit adjusted risk free interest rate. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions.

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 varies from the statutory rate primarily because of differences in tax rates for the Company’s foreign operations and changes in valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets, permanent differences and foreign exchange rate differences. The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2017 through 2031. Net operating losses in foreign countries have an indefinite carryforward period, except in Mexico where net operating loss carryforwards are limited to ten years.
NOTE 13 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has an annual incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan. The Company’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation at the 2010 annual shareholders meeting.
The compensation expense (benefit) recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 for share based compensation awards was $1.0 million and $(3.4) million, and $2.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance units outstanding under the plan are liability-based awards and are required to be re-measured at the end of each reporting period with corresponding adjustments to previously recognized and future stock-based compensation expense. As of June 30, 2012, there was $7.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost (net of estimated forfeitures) related to unvested stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares and performance units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.8 years.

NOTE 14 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION AND 401(k) PLANS
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company provides a noncontributory defined contribution retirement plan for all eligible U.S. employees. Total contributions, which are based on a percentage of the salary of eligible employees, were $0.5 million and $0.4 million, and $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a retirement savings plan (which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) covering all eligible U.S. employees. Under the plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 100% of their cash compensation, subject to ERISA limitations. The Company adopted a Safe Harbor Tiered Match and is required to make matching contributions equal to 100% of the employee’s contribution up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus matching contributions equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution up to an additional 2% of the employee’s compensation. Total plan expenses recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, and $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
NOTE 15 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty
On January 21, 2009, the Company entered into a gold production royalty transaction with Franco-Nevada Corporation. The royalty covers 50% of the life of mine production from the Palmarejo mine and adjacent properties. The royalty transaction included a minimum obligation of 4,167 ounces per month that ends when payments have been made on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold. As of June 30, 2012, a total of 224,710 ounces of gold remain outstanding under the minimum royalty obligation.
The price volatility associated with the minimum royalty obligation is considered an embedded derivative financial instrument under U.S. GAAP. As such, the Company is required to recognize the change in fair value of the remaining minimum obligation due to the changing gold prices. Unrealized gains are recognized in periods when the gold price has decreased from the previous

16
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (Continued)

period and unrealized losses are recognized in periods when the gold price increases. The fair value of the embedded derivative is reflected net of the Company's current credit adjusted risk free rate, which was 5.3% and 5.7% at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, based on forward gold prices averaging approximately $1,630 and $1,610 per ounce, respectively, was a liability of $146.7 million and $159.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, mark-to-market adjustments for this embedded derivative amounted to a gain of $25.1 million and a loss of $4.0 million, and a gain of $12.7 million and a loss of $2.9 million respectively.
Payments on the royalty obligation occur monthly resulting in a decrease to the carrying amount of the minimum obligation and the derivative liability and the recognition of realized gains or losses as a result of changing prices for gold. Each monthly payment is an amount equal or greater of the minimum of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of the actual gold production per month multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $400 per ounce (which $400 floor is subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment beginning on January 21, 2013). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, realized losses on settlement of the liabilities were $11.0 million, and $9.7 million and $24.2 million and $17.2 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments and realized losses are included in fair value adjustments, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts to reduce the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted Mexican peso (“MXP”) operating costs at its Palmarejo mine. At June 30, 2012, the Company had MXP foreign exchange contracts of $26.1 million in U.S. dollars. These contracts require the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXP at a weighted average exchange rate of 13.37 MXP to each U.S. dollar and the Company had a liability with a fair value of $0.4 million at June 30, 2012. At December 31, 2011, the Company had MXP foreign exchange contracts of $25.5 million in U.S. dollars. These contracts required the Company to exchange U.S. dollars for MXP at a weighted average exchange rate of 12.40 MXP to each U.S. dollar and the Company had a liability with a fair value of $3.2 million at December 31, 2011. The Company recorded mark-to-market gains on these contracts of $0.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company recorded mark-to-market gains (losses) of $(0.7) million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These mark-to-market adjustments are reflected in fair value adjustments, net. The Company recorded realized losses of $1.2 million and $1.9 million in production costs applicable to sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , respectively. The Company recorded realized gains of $0.9 million and $1.1 million in production costs applicable to sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Concentrate Sales Contracts
The Company enters into concentrate sales contracts with third-party smelters. The contracts, in general, provide for a provisional payment based upon provisional assays and quoted metal prices. The provisionally priced sales 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 at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is the final settlement price based on a future price, does not qualify for hedge accounting. These embedded derivatives are recorded as derivative assets (in Prepaid expenses and other) or derivative liabilities (in Accrued liabilities and other) on the balance sheet and are adjusted to fair value through earnings each period until the date of final settlement. At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $20.2 million, consisting of 0.4 million ounces of silver and 5,698 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of $19.9 million including the embedded derivative. At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding provisionally priced sales of $22.5 million consisting of 0.2 million ounces of silver and 9,701 ounces of gold, which had a fair value of approximately $21.7 million including the embedded derivative.

Commodity Derivatives
As of June 30, 2012, in connection with the Kensington term facility, the Company had outstanding call options requiring it to deliver 111,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $1,971.94 per ounce if the market price of gold exceeds the strike price. At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to sell 156,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $958.16 per ounce if the market price of gold were to fall below the strike price. The contracts will expire over the next four years. At December 31, 2011, the Company had written outstanding call options requiring it to deliver 136,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $1,919.83 per ounce if the market price of gold exceeds the strike price. At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding put options allowing it to sell 190,000 ounces of gold at a weighted average strike price of $951.93 per ounce if the market price of gold were to fall below the strike price. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair market value of these contracts was a net liability of $13.2 million and $17.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 no gold call options expired. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 34,000 ounces of gold put options expired at a weighted average strike price of $923.34 per ounce, resulting in a realized loss of $1.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 23,750 ounces of gold call options at a weighted average strike price of $1,737.68 expired.

The Company recognized mark to market losses of $0.3 million and $0.3 million associated with this silver in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company recognized mark to market gains (losses) of $(0.4) million and $0.5 million associated with this silver in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
