European Goldfields
Limited
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the periods ended 31 March 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited - Prepared by Management)
(in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
.
1. Nature of operations
European Goldfields Limited (the "Company"), a company incorporated under the
Yukon Business Corporations Act, is a resource company involved in the
acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Greece,
Romania and South-East Europe.
The Company's common shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol "EGU".
The Company is a developer-producer with globally significant gold reserves
located within the European Union. The Company generates cash flow from its 95%
owned Stratoni operation, a high grade lead/zinc/silver mine in North-Eastern
Greece. European Goldfields will evolve into a mid tier producer through
responsible development of its project pipeline of gold and base metal deposits
at Skouries and Olympias in Greece and Certej in Romania. The Company plans
future growth through development of its highly prospective exploration
portfolio in Greece, Romania and Turkey.
The underlying value of the deferred exploration and development costs for
mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of
reserves in the future, and the ability to fund the development of the
properties.
For the coming year, the Company believes it has adequate funds available to
meet its corporate and administrative obligations and its planned expenditures
on its mineral properties.
2. Significant accounting policies
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going
concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
Canada ("Canadian GAAP") using the same accounting policies as those disclosed
in Note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the
years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended
31 December 2009 and 2008.

The Certej exploitation licence and the Baita-Craciunesti exploration licence
are held by the Company's 80%-owned subsidiary, Deva Gold. Minvest S.A. (a
Romanian state owned mining company), together with three private Romanian
companies, hold the remaining 20% interest in Deva Gold. The Company is
required to fund 100% of all costs related to the exploration and development of
these properties. As a result, the Company is entitled to the refund of such
costs (plus interest) out of future cash flows generated by Deva Gold, prior to
any dividends being distributed to shareholders. The Voia and Cainel exploration
licences are held by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, European Goldfields
Deva SRL.
As at the 31 March 2010, the following cost had been incurred on the remaining

In April 2008, the Company entered into a Joint Venture ("JV") with Ariana
Resources plc ("Ariana") which became effective in May 2008 after the transfer
of Ariana's properties was confirmed by the General Directorate of Mining
Affairs in Turkey. The JV involves the development of Ariana's current
properties in an Area of Intent ("AOI") in the Greater Pontides region of
north-eastern Turkey, which include the Ardala copper-gold porphyry and fifteen
otherlicencescovering a total area of 229km², and a Strategic Partnership within
the AOI to define new opportunities for the JV.
The Turkish licences are held by the JV through a Turkish Company, Pontid
Madencilik. Currently the Company has a 51% interest in all the properties
within the JV and the Company will fund 100% of all costs related to the
development of these properties. Ownership of the Ardala property may be
increased to 80% by funding to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. All
other concessions within the JV funded to a Bankable Feasibility Study will be
90% owned by the Company. The owner of the remaining 49% of the properties is
Ariana Resources plc.

In January 2008, Hellas Gold acquired a 50% share of Greek Nurseries SA for a
consideration of $834 (EUR530), at the date of acquisition the Company had no net
assets.
In May 2008, the Company subscribed for 20.13% of the issued share capital of
Ariana through a $1,858 (GBP929) private placement of shares. The difference
between the cost of the investment of $1,830 and the underlying net book value
of Ariana was $132 at the date of acquisition. This excess represents
additional fair value assigned to mineral properties of Ariana and will be
depleted upon commencement of mining operations of Ariana.
In January 2009, Ariana performed a share issue which the Company took part in,
however this resulted in a dilution of ownership as the Company did not
subscribe to 20.13% of the new shares being issued. After the share issue the
Company held 19.87% interest in Ariana. During September 2009, Ariana carried
out a further share placement in which the Company did not subscribe and as at
31 December 2009, the Company held 16.58% of the issued share capital. Since
October 2009, the Company has not had a representative on the board of Ariana
and therefore no longer has significant influence. As a result, the Company has
accounted for its investment in Ariana as an investment available-for-sale.

9. Asset retirement obligation
Management has estimated the total future asset retirement obligation based on
the Company's ownership interest in the Stratoni mines and facilities. This
includes all estimated costs to dismantle, remove, reclaim and abandon the
facilities at the Stratoni property, and the estimated time period during which
these costs will be incurred in the future. The following table reconciles the
asset retirement obligation for the financial periods ended 31 March 2010 and 31
December 2009:
+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+

+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+ +----------+
| Asset retirement obligation - End of period | 7,101 | | 7,068 |
+-----------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+
As at 31 March 2010, the undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to
settle the obligation is $7,206 (31 December 2009 - $7,805). The estimated cash
flow has been discounted using a credit adjusted risk free rate of 5.04% (31
December 2009 - 5.04%). The expected period until settlement is five years.
10. Deferred revenue
In April 2007, Hellas Gold 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 some 7 km² around its zinc-lead-silver
Stratoni mine in northern Greece (the "Silver Wheaton Transaction"). The sale
was made in consideration of a prepayment to Hellas Gold of $57.5 million in
cash, plus a fee per ounce of payable silver to be delivered to Silver Wheaton
of the lesser of $3.90 (subject to an inflationary adjustment beginning after
year three) and the prevailing market price per ounce. During the period ended
31 March 2010, Hellas Gold delivered concentrate containing ounces 165,781 (31
December 2009 - 772,865 ounces) of silver for credit to Silver Wheaton.
In September 2007, Hellas Gold entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of
Celtic Resources Holdings ("Celtic") Plc for the sale of 50,000 wet metric
tonnes of gold bearing pyrite concentrate, for which Hellas Gold received a
prepayment of $4.71 million in cash. During the period a total of Nil wmt (31
December 2009 - 24,680 wmt) of concentrate was delivered to Celtic.

12. Share options, restricted share units and deferred phantom units
Share Option Plan
The Company operates a Share Option Plan (together with its predecessor, the
"Share Option Plan") authorising the directors to grant options with a maximum
term of 5 years, to acquire common shares of the Company to the directors,
officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, on
terms that the Board of Directors may determine, within the limitations of the
Share Option Plan. The maximum number of common shares of the Company which may
be reserved for issuance for all purposes under the Share Option Plan shall not
exceed 15% of the common shares issued and outstanding from time to time
(27,349,657 shares as at 31 March 2010).
An option holder under the Share Option Plan may elect to dispose of its rights
under all or part of its options (the "Exchanged Rights") in exchange for the
following number of common shares of the Company (or at the Company's option for
cash) in settlement thereof (the "Settlement Common Shares"):
+------------+-+------------------------+--+-------------------------+

Of the 5,069,165 (2009 - 3,241,665) share options outstanding as at 31 March
2010, 2,002,221 (2009 - 2,310,001) were fully vested and had a weighted average
exercise price of C$4.68 (2009 - C$3.24) per share. The share options
outstanding as at 31 March 2010, had a weighted average remaining contractual
life of years 3.66 (2009 - 2.44 years).
The weighted average grant date fair value cost of the 1,662,500 share options
granted during the period ended 31 March 2010 (2009 - Nil) was C$4,178 (2009 -
C$ Nil). For outstanding share options, including options granted during the
three-month period and those which were not fully vested during the three-month
period ended 31 March 2010, the Company incurred a total equity-based
compensation cost of $1,034 (2009 - $294) of which $778 (2009 - $221) has been
recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss and $256 (2009 -
$73) has been capitalised to deferred exploration and development costs.
The fair value of the share options granted has been estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes and Parisian option pricing model with the following
assumptions: weighted average risk free interest rate of 0.05% (2009 - Nil);
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's shares of 68.40%
(2009 - Nil); a weighted average expected life of the share options of 5 years
(2009 - Nil), maximum term of 5 years and a dividend yield of Nil (2009 - Nil).
Restricted Share Unit Plan
The Company operates a Restricted Share Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan") authorising
the directors, based on recommendations received from the Compensation
Committee, to grant Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") to designated directors,
officers, employees and consultants. The RSUs are "phantom" shares that rise and
fall in value based on the value of the Company's common shares and are redeemed
for actual common shares on the vesting dates determined by the Board of
Directors when the RSUs are granted. The RSUs vest on the dates below; however,
upon a change of control of the Company they would typically become 100% vested.
The maximum number of common shares of the Company which may be reserved for
issuance for all purposes under the RSU Plan shall not exceed 2.5% of the common
shares issued and outstanding from time to time (4,558,276 shares as at 31 March
2010).
As at 31 March 2010, the following RSUs were outstanding:

The weighted average grant date fair value cost of underlying shares of the
612,500, RSUs granted during the period ended 31 March 2010 (2009 - 584,779) was
C$6.20 (2009 - C$2.67). For outstanding RSUs which were not fully vested,
including RSU's granted during the period ended 31 March 2010, the Company
incurred a total equity-based compensation cost of $3,021 (2009 - $318) of which
$2,213 (2009 - $118) has been recognised as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss and $808 (2009 - $200) has been capitalised to deferred
exploration and development costs.
Deferred Phantom Unit Plan
The company operates a Deferred Phantom Unit plan (the "DPU Plan") authorising
the directors based on recommendation by the Human Capital Management Committee
to grant Deferred Phantom Units ("DPUs") to independent eligible directors. The
DPU are units which give rise to a right to receive a cash payment the value of
which, on a particular date should be the market value of the equivalent number
of shares at that date. The market value at 31 March 2010 has been included in
current liabilities.
As at 31 March 2010, the following DPUs were outstanding:

9,276) were fully vested.
The fair value cost of the 247,045 (2009 - 415,776) DPUs as at the 31 March
2010, based on the period end share price of C$6.04 (2009 - C$3.35), amounted to
C$1,493 (2009 - C$1,393).
13. Financial instruments and financial risk management
Financial exposures, in varying degrees, arise in the normal course of the
Company's consolidated operations and include commodity price risk, foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk associated
with trade and financial counterparties. These exposures are monitored by
Senior Management and are assessed and mitigated in accordance to the Group Risk
Management Policy.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and hedge contracts.
Short-term financial assets are amounts that are expected to be settled within
one year. The carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheets approximate
fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of the financial instruments and their fair values as at 31
March 2010 and 31 December 2009 are as follows:
+--------------------------+---------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices
on active markets as at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction
costs. The fair value of the listed equity investments are based on quoted
market prices.
For financial instruments not quoted in active markets, the Company used
valuation techniques such as present value and Black - Scholes option valuation
techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices
exist and other relevant models used by market participants. These valuation
techniques use both observable and unobservable market inputs.
Commodity price risk - The Company's net profit and value of the mineral
resource properties are related to the prices of gold, silver, copper, zinc and
lead and the outlook for these commodities.
Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous
factors outside of the company's control, including, but not limited to,
industrial and retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by market
participants, levels of worldwide production, macro-economic and political
variables and certain other factors related specifically to gold. Silver and,
in particular, base metal prices have historically tended to be driven more by
the demand and supply fundamentals for each metal, however, they are also
influenced by speculative activity, macro-economic and political variables and
certain other factors related specifically to silver and base metals.
The long term profitability of the Company's operations is highly correlated to
the market price of its commodities and in particular gold. To the extent that
these prices increase, asset values increase and cash flows improve; conversely,
declines in metal prices directly impact value and cash flows. A protracted
period of depressed prices could impair the Company's operations and development
opportunities, and significantly erode shareholder value.
Hedging commitments - The Company enters into financial transactions in the
normal course of business and in line with Board guidelines for the purpose of
hedging and managing its expected exposure to commodity prices. There are a
number of financial institutions which offer metal hedging services and the
Company deals with highly rated banks and institutions who have demonstrated
long term commitment to the mining industry. The Company has one counterparty in
respect of its lead and zinc hedge contracts noted below. Market conditions and
prices would affect the fair value of these hedge contracts and in certain
market conditions, where the fair value of the hedge contract is positive to the
Company and the counterparty were unable to honour its obligations under the
hedge contract, the Company would be exposed to the value of the hedge being the
difference between the hedged price and the then current market price on the
date of the settlement. The hedges below are treated as cash flow hedges in
accordance with CICA 3865: Hedges.
Lead and Zinc hedging contracts - As at 31 March 2010, the Company had entered
into hedging arrangementsas illustrated below which, for the amount of
production shown, protect the Company from decreasing prices below the floor
price and limit participation in increasing prices above the cap price. The
period of the hedge is from 1 April 2010 until 31 December 2010 and is cash
settled on a monthly basis between the monthly average of the relevant commodity
price and the cap and floor price, as applicable. As at 31 March 2010, these
contracts had a fair value of $209 (2009 - $(1,064)), determined by a third
party valuation using the appropriate Black-Scholes options valuation model,
based on the then prevailing market prices including lead and zinc prices,
interest rates and market volatility.

During the three-month period ended 31 March 2010, the Company recorded income
relating to its hedging program of $Nil (2009 - $2,417).
Given the current maturity profile of the hedge, market expectations and
parameters, we expect that the fair value of the existing hedge contracts $209
will be released to net income within the next 12 months.
Currency risk - The Company is exposed to currency risk on accounts receivable,
accounts payable and cash holdings that are denominated in currencies other than
the functional currencies of the operating entities in the group. As at the 31
March 2010, the Company held the equivalent of $62,997 (31 December 2009 -
$16,133) in net assets denominated in foreign currencies. These balances are
primarily made up of Euro and, to a lesser extent, Pound Sterling.
The Company publishes its consolidated financial statements in US dollars and as
a result, it is also subject to foreign exchange translation risk in respect of
Euro denominated assets and liabilities in its foreign operations.
For the three-month period ended 31 March 2010 the Company recorded a foreign
exchange gain of $1,563 (2009 - a loss of $2,882), mainly due to the translation
of Euro balances in its subsidiaries.
Liquidity risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to
meet its financial obligations when they become due.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring there is sufficient capital
to meet working capital, short and long term business requirements after taking
into account cash flows from operations and holdings of cash and cash
equivalents. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval
of planned expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and
anticipated investing and financing activities.
The Company does not have any borrowing or debt facilities and settles its
obligations out of cash and cash equivalents. The ability to do this relies on
the Company collecting its accounts receivable in a timely manner and
maintaining cash on hand.
Financial liabilities consist of trade payables, accrued liabilities and
financial derivatives. As at 31 March 2010, the Company's trade payables and
accrued liabilities amounted to $9,415 (2009 - $12,684), all of which fall due
for payment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The average credit
period achieved during the period ended 31 March 2010 was 30 days (2009 - 30
days).
As at 31 March 2010, cash and cash equivalents comprises the following:
+---------------------------------------------------+---------+----------+----------+
| | 31 | | 31 |
| | March | | December |

The Company has accounts receivable from trading counterparties to whom
concentrate products are sold. Where traders are chosen as counterparties, only
the larger and most financially secure metal trading groups are dealt with. The
company may also transact agreements with trading groups who have direct
interests in smelting capacity or direct to the smelters themselves.
Of the total trade receivable as at 31 March 2010, 6 (2009 - 4) customers

Interest rate risk - The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from
fluctuations in interest rates on its cash equivalents. The Company does not
have any borrowings or debt facilities and seeks to maximise returns on cash
equivalents without risking capital values. The Company's objectives of managing
its cash and cash equivalents are to ensure sufficient liquid funds are
maintained to meet day to day requirements and to place any amounts which are
considered in excess of this on short-term deposits with the Company's banks to
earn interest. The Company uses top rated institutions and ensures that access
to the amounts can be gained at short notice. During the three-month period
ended 31 March 2010 the company earned interest income of $62 (2009 - $508) on
cash and cash equivalents, based on rates of returns up to 3.5% (2009 - up to
2.50%).
Credit risk- Credit risk represents the financial loss the Company would suffer
if the Company's counterparties to a financial instrument, in owing an amount to
the Company, fail to meet or discharge their obligation to the Company.
Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk consist of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable and in certain market conditions, hedging
contracts. The cash equivalents consist mainly of short-term investments, such
as money market deposits. The Company does not invest in asset-backed
commercial paper and has deposited the cash equivalents only with the largest
banks within a particular region or with top rated institutions.
The Company's concentrate offtake arrangements also expose it to credit risk
which would result should the Company's offtakers default under these
arrangements, as a result of which the Company would not realise its trade
receivable amount. The Company manages this exposure through assessing the
offtaker's credit risk before entering the offtake agreement, the structure of
the offtake contract and sells to a number of different offtakers which
diversifies this risk
Included in the Company's accounts receivable is an amount of $17,642 relating
to value added taxes recoverable which is subject to Greek government credit
risk.
Sensitivity analysis - The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to
estimate the impact on net (loss)/profit of a 5% change in foreign exchange
rates, a 1% change in interest rates and a 10% change in base metal prices,
excluding the effect of hedging, during the three-month ended 31 March 2010 and
2009. The results of the sensitivity analysis can be seen in the following
table:
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+--------+
| | 31 | | 31 |
| Impact on Net (Loss)/Profit (+/-) | March | | March |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
| | $ | | $ |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+ +--------+
| | | | |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+
| Change of - 5 % US$: EUR foreign exchange rate | (261) | | 988 |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+--------+
| Change of + 5 % US$: EUR foreign exchange rate | 258 | | (893) |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+--------+
| Change of +/- 1% in interest rates | 179 | | 691 |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+--------+
| Change of +/- 10% in commodities prices | 241 | | 830 |
+-------------------------------------------------+-------+----------+--------+
Limitations of sensitivity analysis - The above table
demonstrates the effect of each sensitivity in isolation. In reality,
there may be a correlation between a combination of any of
these sensitivities. Additionally, the financial position of the
Company may vary at the time any of these factors occurs, causing
the impact on the Company's results to differ from
that shown above.
14. Capital Risk Management
The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to maintain financial
flexibility to achieve its long term business development plan, whilst managing
its costs, optimizing its access to capital markets and preserving capital
value. Further, it ensures that there is sufficient liquidity available to meet
day to day operating requirements.
The Company currently has no debt and considers its Shareholders' Equity and
cash and cash equivalents as components of its capital structure.
The Company's Board of Directors continually assesses the Company's capital
through its short-term budgets and long-term development plan, meeting regularly
through quarterly board meetings and regular communication with Officers and
senior management to assess the requirements, changes to Company's set of
assumptions and capital market conditions.
Going forward, as part of its capital management, the Company expects to raise a
level of debt based on the forecast cashflows of its projects. As a result, the
Company will need to comply with certain financial covenants and financial
restrictions accordingly.
In order tomaximiseongoing development efforts, the company does not pay out
dividends.
The Company's investment policy is to invest its cash in high-grade investment
securities with varying terms, maturity and counterparties, selected with
regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations and
counterparty risk.
The Company expects its current capital resources and anticipated debt raising
will be sufficient to carry out its plans and operations through its current
operating period.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there
has been no change in the overall capital risk management as at 31 March 2010.

business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011. Early
adoption of this Section is permitted. Section 1601 together with Section 1602
establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
Section 1601 is applicable for the Company's interim and annual consolidated
financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. Early
adoption of this Section is permitted. If the Company chooses to early adopt any
one of these Sections, the other two sections must also be adopted at the same
time.
International Financial Reporting Standards - ("IFRS") - In 2006, the Canadian
Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will
significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.
The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over
an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB confirmed
that publicly listed companies will be required to adopt IFRS for interim and
annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011, and in April 2008, the AcSB issued for comment it's Omnibus
Exposure Draft, Adopting IFRS in Canada. Early adoption may be permitted,
however it will require exemptive relief on a case by case basis from the
Canadian Securities Administrators.
