MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Endeavour Silver Corp. (“the Company”) have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and within the framework of the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.

Management, under the supervision of and the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have a process in place to evaluate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as required by Canadian and United States securities regulations. We, as CEO and CFO, will certify our annual filings with CSA and SEC as required in Canada by Multilateral Instrument 52-109 and in the United States are required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out its responsibility principally through its Audit Committee which is independent from management.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets with management to review results of the consolidated financial statements and related financial reporting matters prior to submitting the consolidated financial statements to the Board of Directors for approval. The Audit Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements and MD&A; considers the report of the external auditors; assesses the adequacy of internal controls, including management’s assessment described below; examines the fees and expenses for audit services; and recommends to the Board the independent auditors for appointment by the shareholders. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with it to discuss the audit work, financial reporting matters and our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and all of its members are independent directors.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Endeavour Silver Corp. (the Company) as at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 and for the ten-month period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, we also conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 and for the ten-month period ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from US generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 2, 2008 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Endeavour Silver Corp.

We have audited Endeavour Silver Corp’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment: (1) an ineffective control environment; (2) inadequate controls over information and communication; (3) inadequate controls over the translation of foreign currency accounts into the reporting currency; and (4) lack of personnel with expertise in accounting for Mexican tax.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2007 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated April 2, 2008, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Endeavour Silver Corp. Page - 4 -


In our opinion, because of the effect of the aforementioned material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Endeavour Silver Corp. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control— Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and Ten Months Ended December 31, 2005
(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   

Endeavour Silver Corp. and its subsidiary companies (collectively the “Company” or “Endeavour Silver”) are engaged in silver mining in Mexico and related activities including acquisition, exploration, development, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation.

   

The Company has acquired interests in additional mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves in its mineral properties, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development of its properties, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying properties, the receipt of necessary permitting and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of these interests.

   

The Company has $25.3 million in working capital as of December 31, 2007, which management deems is sufficient to meet the near term business objectives.

   
2.

CHANGE IN FUNCTIONAL AND REPORTING CURRENCY

   

Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company’s operations were measured in Canadian dollars and the consolidated financial statements were expressed in Canadian dollars. Effective January 1, 2007, the US dollar was adopted as the unit of measure of the Company’s operations which reflects significant operational exposure to the US dollar, the predominantly US dollar asset and investment base of the Company and the transition from an exploration company to a mine operator. Concurrent with this change in functional currency, the Company adopted the US dollar as its reporting currency. In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company is required to restate all amounts presented for comparative purposes into US dollars using the current rate method whereby all revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average rates that were in effect during these periods and all assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate in effect at the end of these periods. Equity transactions have been translated at historic rates; the resulting net translation adjustment has been credited to comprehensive income.

   

The effect on the consolidated financial statements resulted in an accumulated comprehensive income adjustment of $212,000 as at December 31, 2006.

   
3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Basis of presentation

   

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Significant measurement differences from United States GAAP are described in Note 17 to these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

   
(b)

Use of estimates

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of mineralized reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, determination of asset retirement obligations, valuation allowances for future income tax assets, and assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   
(c)

Revenue recognition

   

Estimated mineral revenue, based upon prevailing metal prices, is recognized upon delivery when title and risk of ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate passes to the buyer and when collection is reasonably assured. Estimated revenue is subject to adjustment upon final settlement of metal prices, weights and assays.

   
(d)

Cash and cash equivalents

   

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits in banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less.

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(e)

Marketable securities

  

Marketable securities include investments in shares of companies and other investments capable of reasonably prompt liquidation. Share investments are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses at the reporting date recognized in comprehensive income in accordance with section 1530 (see Note 4).

  
(f)

Inventories

  

Product inventories are valued at the lower of average production cost and net realizable value. In-process inventories, including ore stockpiles are valued at the lower of average production cost and net realizable value, after an allowance for further processing costs. Finished goods inventory is valued at the lower of average production costs and net realizable value. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost.

  
(g)

Mineral properties, plant and equipment

  

Mineral properties include direct costs of acquiring the properties, the costs incurred which are employed directly in the development process of feasible properties, while expenses relating to exploration properties are expensed as incurred.

  

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its mineral properties with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of reserves, anticipated future prices, anticipated future costs of exploring, developing and operating a producing mine, expiration term and ongoing expense of maintaining leased mineral properties and the general likelihood that the Company will continue exploration. The Company does not set a pre-determined holding period for properties with unproven reserves. However, properties which have not demonstrated suitable mineral concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted and their carrying values are appropriate.

  

If any area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the period of abandonment or determination that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. The amounts recorded as mineral properties represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

  

The accumulated costs of mineral properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production are amortized using the units of production basis using proven and probable reserves (as defined by National Instrument 43-101).

  

Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method at rates varying from 5% to 30% annually.

  
(h)

Asset retirement obligations

  

These obligations are measured initially at fair value and the resulting costs capitalized to the carrying value of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for any changes in the amount or timing and for the accretion of discounted underlying future cash flows. The capitalized asset retirement cost is amortized to operations over the life of the asset.

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(i)

Stock-based compensation

     

The Company has a share option plan which is described in Note 13(c). The Company records all stock-based compensation for options using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable, and are charged to operations over the vesting period. The offset is credited to contributed surplus. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.

     
(j)

Income taxes

     

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and losses carried forward. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted or enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

     
(k)

Loss per share

     

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, loss available to common shareholders equals the reported loss. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the year. In the Company’s case, diluted loss per share presented is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of outstanding options and warrants in the loss per share calculation would be anti-dilutive.

     
(l)

Foreign currency translation

     

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency, and accounts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar have been translated as follows:

     

Revenue and expense items at the rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date;

Non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at market, in which case they are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date; and

Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations in the period in which they occur.
     
(m)

Fair value of financial instruments

     

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short terms to maturity. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value. Asset backed commercial paper is recorded at management estimated fair value.

(o)

Recently released Canadian accounting standards

   

The Company has assessed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued that are not yet effective and determined that the following may have a significant impact on the Company:

   
i)

In fiscal 2008, the Company will be required to adopt two new standards. Financial Instruments – Disclosures (CICA Handbook Section 3862) and Financial Instruments – Presentation (CICA Handbook Section 3863) will replace Financial Instruments (Disclosure and Presentation (CICA Handbook Section 3861). The new disclosure standard increases the emphasis on the risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed. The new presentation standard carries forward the former presentation requirements. The new financial instruments presentation and disclosure requirements were issued in December 2006 and the Company is assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

   
ii)

In fiscal 2008, the Company will be required to adopt Capital Disclosures (CICA Handbook Section 1535), which will require companies to disclose their objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. In addition, disclosures are to include whether companies have complied with externally imposed capital requirements. The new capital disclosure requirements were issued in December 2006 and the Company is assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

   
iii)

In fiscal 2008, the Company will be required to adopt Inventories (CICA Handbook Section 3031), which will re-establish standards for the measurement and disclosure of inventories. The Company’s assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

   
iv)

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 announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

   
v)

In fiscal 2008, the Company is required to adopt revised Accounting Changes (CICA Handbook Section 1506), which provides expanded disclosures for changes in accounting policies, accounting estimates and corrections of errors. Under the new standard, accounting changes should be applied retrospectively unless otherwise permitted or where impracticable to determine. As well, voluntary changes in accounting policy are made only when required by a primary source of GAAP or the change results in more relevant and reliable information. The Company does not expect application of this revised standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted three new accounting standards that were issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants: Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Presentation and Disclosure and Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. These standards have been applied prospectively; accordingly, comparative amounts for prior periods have not been restated.

   

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its accounting policy for mineral property exploration expenditures to harmonize accounting differences between Canadian and US GAAP while the Company continues to transition its operations from a sole exploration company to an operator.


(a)

Comprehensive income/loss

   

Section 1530 introduces comprehensive income, which consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income represents changes in shareholders’ equity during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale. The components of accumulated comprehensive income are disclosed in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity

   
(b)

Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure; recognition and measurement

   

Section 3861 establishes standards for the presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. It requires that financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, be measured at fair value on initial recognition and recorded on the balance sheet. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities.

   

Financial assets and liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in net income. Financial assets and financial liabilities considered held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. Available-for- sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost.

   

Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments are recognized in net income with the exception of derivatives designated as effective cash flow hedges. The Company has no such designated hedges.

   
(c)

Impact upon adoption of Handbook Sections 1530, 3855 and 3861

   

The transition adjustment attributable to the re-measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value for available-for-sale financial assets were recognized in opening accumulated other comprehensive income as at January 1, 2007. The Company has recorded a non cash increase of $512,000 to opening marketable securities and a non-cash adjustment of $512,000 as a one time cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy in opening accumulated other comprehensive income.

   
(d)

Exploration Expenditures

   

In prior years, the Company capitalized the acquisition cost of mineral properties and deferred exploration expenditures directly related to specific mineral properties. Under the new policy, exploration expenditures on non producing properties are expensed, while acquisition costs continue to be capitalized. This change has been applied retrospectively and the comparatives for 2006 and 2005 have been re-stated accordingly. The amount expensed for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $400,000 and $451,000 respectively, with a corresponding reduction in mineral properties.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION AND SIGNIFICANT ASSET ACQUISITIONS


  a)

Acquisition of the Guanacevi property

     
 

In May 2004, the Company entered into an option agreements to acquire 100% interest in the outstanding shares of Minera Santa Cruz y Garibaldi SA de CV (“Minera Santa Cruz”), which owns 100% of the producing Santa Cruz silver-gold mine located in Durango, Mexico for $2.5m, with final payment occurring January 28, 2008. On January 28, 2006 the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the outstanding shares of Minera Santa Cruz on completion of initial cash payments totaling $1,276,000.

     
 

In May 2004, the Company entered into option agreements to purchase certain mining concessions and the Guanacevi mineral processing plant, also located in Durango, Mexico. The Company acquired a 51% beneficial ownership interest in these assets on January 28, 2006 on payment of $2.3 million. In 2006, the Company accounted for this acquisition as a purchase of an asset and accordingly reclassified $1.7 million from mineral properties to plant and equipment. The remaining 49% interest was to be transferred upon completion of the 2008 payment. However in July 2006, the Company acquired 100% shares of the company that owned the plant, Metalurgica Guanacevi, S.A. de C.V. (“Metalurgica”), for $2.6 million comprised of $438,000 and 671,558 units at a market price of CAN $3.53 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one-quarter of a common share purchase warrant; each full warrant was exercisable to purchase one common share at an exercise price of CAN $3.70 until August 23, 2007 (Note 13 (e))

     
 

The following table set forth the original May 2004 payment schedules:


                  Mining        
      Minera Santa Cruz     Processing Plant     concessions     Total

  January 28, 2006   423     572     5     1,000  
  January 28, 2007   638     857     5     1,500  
  January 28, 2008   638     857     5     1,500  
    $  2,551   $  4,000   $  449   $  7,000  
                           
  51% ownership   1,275     2,286     439     4,000

    $  2,551   $  4,000   $  449   $  7,000  

Under the Minera Santa Cruz option interest agreement the scheduled January 28, 2007 payment of $638,000 was made with 176,201 shares of the Company in lieu of cash.

The Company was able to acquire the remaining shares of Minera Santa Cruz for the final option interest agreement payment of $638,000 due in January 2008, however the Company negotiated an early buy out of the minority shareholders. In May 2007, the Company issued 1,350,000 shares of the Company with a fair market value of $5.04 to acquire the remaining 49% of outstanding shares in Minera Santa Cruz. The settlement price reflects the minority shareholders’ earnings to date, the 2008 option payment and the projected 2007 earnings. The aggregate purchase price of $6.8 million above the non-controlling interest liability, of $4.1 million and the future income tax liability of $1.6m was allocated to mineral properties.

Acquisition of the Guanajuato mines project

     
 

On April 30, 2007 the Company acquired the exploitation contracts to the Unidad Bolanitos silver-gold mines and plant located in the northern parts of the Guanajuato and La Luz silver districts in the state Guanajuato, Mexico. The Company paid $2.4 million in cash and 224,215 shares of the Company with a fair market value of $4.46 per share.

     
 

On May 30, 2007 the Company acquired 100% of the Guanajuato mine assets from two subsidiary companies of Industrias Penoles SA de CV (“Penoles”). The assets consist of 2,071 hectares of land , three mines and a 500 ton per day processing plant. The purchase price was 800,000 shares of the Company with a fair market value of $4.84 and 250,000 2 year warrants with an exercise price of CAN $5.50. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $460,000; the fair value was based on an expected stock price volatility of 68.7%, expected life of 2 years and an estimated risk-free rate of 3.98%.

     
 

The Company has accounted for these acquisitions as asset acquisitions as the contracts and the plant are considered to be separate asset purchases that do not represent a business as defined under Canadian GAAP.

     
 

The Company allocated $7.3 million to mineral properties, $396,000 to the plant and recognized an asset retirement obligation of $664,000 related to the future reclamation of the Guanajuato properties (Note 12).

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  

The Company shares common administrative services and office space with related party companies and from time to time will incur third party costs on behalf of the related parties on a full cost recovery basis.

  

During the course of the period the company paid $95,000 (2006 - $ nil, 2005 - $ nil) in performance bonus compensation to terminated employees who are now employees of a company with common directors and management.

  

During the course of the period the company paid $177,000 (2006 - $ nil, 2005 - $ nil) in consulting fees to a company with common directors and management.

  

The Company has paid $130,000 (2006 – $255,000, 2005- $81,000) for legal services from a legal firm with common management.

  

The Company currently holds marketable securities purchased for $279,000 of a public company with common directors and management that has a market value of $135,000.

  

On December 31, 2007 the Company signed option agreements with Aztec Metals Corp. (“Aztec”) a non-public company with common directors, whereby Aztec has the right to acquire unexplored properties (Rio Chico and Matehuala) for a cash payment of $63,000 and issuance of 533,333 common shares in Aztec. The cash payment and common shares were received subsequent to year end. To exercise the option on the Rio Chico properties Aztec will pay to Endeavour $100,000 and deliver a signed silver participation contract prior to September 30, 2008. To exercise the option on the Matehuala property, Aztec will pay to Endeavour $43,000 and deliver a signed silver participation contract prior to June 30, 2008.

  
10.

LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

  

At December 31, 2007 the Company held asset backed commercial paper (“ABCP”) purchased in August 2007 with a par value $5.2 million and an estimated fair value of $3.9 million. At the dates the Company acquired the ABCP it was rated RI (High) by Dominion Bond Rating Services (“DBRS”), the highest credit rating issued for commercial paper. The ABCP did not settle as it matured as a result of the liquidity issues in the ABCP market. There has been no active trading in the ABCP since mid-August 2007 and no market quotations are currently available. The ABCP in which the Company has invested continues to be rated RI (High, Under review with developing implications) by DBRS.

  

On December 23, 2007, a comprehensive restructuring of the ABCP was agreed to in principle between all parties. The approval of the restructuring is subject to votes by all investors, and is anticipated to close by the end of April 2008.

  

There is a significant amount of uncertainty in estimating the amount of timing of cash flows associated with the ABCP. The Company estimates the fair value of its ABCP by discounting expected future cash flows considering the best available information. An adjustment of $1.3 million has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007 to reflect the lack of liquidity in the ABCP market. As result of the proposed restructuring, the Company has also concluded that the most probable outcome is that the ABCP will not be realized within a year and has accordingly classified the ABCP as a non-current asset. Due to illiquidity in the ABCP market, the Company estimated a 20% impairment from the face value of the asset and discounted the remaining value over a one year period using a discount rate of prime + 1%. The outcome of the ABCP restructuring could result in a material difference to managements’ estimate fair value.

Guanacevi properties and plant (Durango, Mexico)

   

See note 5, Business acquisitions and significant asset acquisitions to these financial statements for a discussion of the significant acquisition of Minera Santa Cruz and Metalurgica of the Guanacevi mine.

   

In June 2005, the Company acquired nine silver mining properties in the Guanacevi district, Durango, Mexico, from Industrias Peñoles S.A. de C.V. (“Peñoles”). Six of these properties form part of the producing Santa Cruz silver mine. This transaction effectively allowed the Company to acquire the outright ownership of the six mineral concessions as well as a 4.5% net proceeds royalty from Peñoles. The Company is required to send all mineral production from these properties to the Peñoles smelter in Torreon, Mexico, for smelting and refining. Peñoles retains a 3% net proceeds royalty on future production after deduction of all shipping and smelting costs, including taxes and penalties if any. The Company also formed a strategic alliance with Peñoles to acquire additional mining properties in Mexico. Peñoles has agreed to provide the Company with access to information on its portfolio of mineral concessions throughout Mexico. On each additional Peñoles property made available to the Company to acquire, a purchase price may be negotiated, payable in common shares of the Company. If the Company acquires additional properties from third parties introduced by Peñoles, the Company will pay Peñoles a 5% fee on the cash purchase price, also payable in common shares of the Company. If Peñoles acquires property from a third party introduced by the Company, Peñoles will pay the Company a 5% fee on the cash purchase price. In compensation for the nine mining properties acquired and certain mining equipment located thereon and the formation of the strategic alliance, the Company issued 1,000,000 units to Peñoles in July 2005; each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share at $2.10 until July 22, 2006 and thereafter at $2.30 until July 22, 2007 (note 13 (e)). The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $260,000 which was included in mineral properties; the fair value was based on an expected stock price volatility of 54.45%, expected life of 1 year and an estimated risk-free rate of 1.28%.

   

In July 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two silver properties, Porvenir Dos and La Sultana, in the Guanacevi District, Durango, Mexico, for payments totalling $137,500 prior to 2007.

   

In August 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in four silver properties, La Prieta, El Aguaje de Arriba, Ampliacion El Aguaje de Arriba and La Plata, in the Guanacevi District, Durango, Mexico, for $100,000 of which final payment of $70,000 was paid in August 2007.

   

In October 2005, the Company acquired a mining lease from Minera Tayahua, S.A. de C.V., on the El Porvenir property, Guanacevi district, Durango, Mexico. Under the lease agreement, the Company holds the exclusive right to mine the El Porvenir property for a 5-year period, which can be extended for another 5 years, by mutual agreement. The Company agreed to mine El Porvenir at the rate of between 9,000 tonnes and 27,000 tonnes per quarter and to pay a 3% net smelter royalty from production. The agreement includes a clause that either party can terminate the contract in advance, without indicating cause, communicating the termination date at least 2 years before the effective date of the termination. On August 16, 2006 The Company received a letter indicating contract termination as of August 31, 2008. The Company is currently mining the El Porvenir and will continue to mine this zome up to August 30, 2008.

   

On November 22, 2007, the Company paid $50,000 and 30,000 common shares to enter into an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the El Maliche property in the Guanacevi district for an additional $50,000 within 18 months.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million (2006 - $3.4 million, 2005 – $1.1 million) based on the fair value of options granted.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

The weighted average fair values of stock options granted and the assumptions used to calculate compensation expense have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions for the period ended:

    Period E nded   Period E nded   Period Ended

INCOME TAXES

   

On October 1, 2007, the Government of Mexico enacted legislation which introduces certain tax reforms including a new minimum flat tax effective January 1, 2008. As the legislation is new, remains subject to ongoing varying interpretations, and the possibility of amendments by the Government of Mexico, the estimated future income tax recorded at the balance sheet date may change. As a result of these tax reforms, the Company has taken a conservative approach and estimated the company will be subject to the new minimum flat tax over the life of our projects. This approach increased the temporary differences on assets within the Mexican entities, which is offset by the lower tax rate under the new minimum flat tax increasing future income tax expense by $1.2m on historical balances. The change in the estimate tax regime also changes the tax rate used to determine the future tax liability created from the share acquisition of certain Mexican entities, resulting in a $1.3m recovery on future income tax.

   

When circumstances cause a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of future tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance will be reflected in current income.

   

The reconciliation of the income tax provision computed at statutory rates to the reported income tax provision is as follows:


      December 31,     December 31,     December 31,  
      2007     2006     2005  
                     
  Canadian statutory tax rates   34.12%     34 .12%     34.12%  
                     
  Income tax benefit computed at Canadian statutory rates $  (3,772 ) $  767   $  1,603  
  Foreign tax rates different from statutory rate   (341 )   (179 )   (141 )
  Temporary differences not recognized in the period   3,274     1 ,292     (797 )
  Permanent differences   2,008     (471 )   (665 )
                     
    $  1,169   $  1 ,409   $  -  

The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to future tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is for Mexico subsidiaries is presented below:

      December 31,     December 31,

RECONCILIATION WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

  

Accounting practices under Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as they affect the Company, are substantially the same, except for the following measurement differences.


(a)

Stock based compensation

  

Under U.S. GAAP, Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee”, requires all share based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company currently uses the fair value method to account for all stock option grants. For the years presented, there are no differences in stock-based compensation.

  

Under U.S. GAAP, stock based compensation would be presented within general and administrative costs whereas the stock-based compensation expense is reported separately for Canadian GAAP.

  
(b)

Unrealized holding gains and losses on marketable securities

  

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 115, Accounting for Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115) requires that the Company’s marketable securities be classified as available- for-sale securities and they be recorded at market value with unrealized gains or losses recorded outside of income as a component of shareholders’ equity unless a decline in value is considered to be other than temporary. The Company’s marketable securities were presented at lower of cost or market value before January 1, 2007 under Canadian GAAP. Upon adoption of CICA Handbook Section 3855 on January 1, 2007 (note 4), there are no ongoing differences between Canadian and US GAAP in the accounting for marketable securities.

  
(c)

Reporting comprehensive income

  

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 130 (SFAS 130) Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income equals net income (loss) for the year as adjusted for all other non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity. SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, comprehensive loss equals $512,000 and $ nil, respectively. Upon adoption of CICA Handbook Section 1530 on January 1, 2007, there are no ongoing differences between Canadian and US GAAP in reporting and displaying comprehensive income.

(d)

Mineral property exploration

  

US GAAP requires that long lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review of recoverability, the Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff has indicated that their interpretation of U.S. GAAP requires mineral property exploration costs to be expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property, as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated prior to such determination. Accordingly, for all periods presented, the Company would expense all mineral property exploration costs for U.S. GAAP purposes, which is consistent with the Canadian GAAP treatment following the change in accounting policy described in note 4 (d).

  

For Canadian GAAP, cash flows relating to mineral property exploration costs are reported as investing activities. For US GAAP, theses costs would be characterized as operating activities.

  
(e)

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes

  

In June 2006, The FASB has issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption, with the cumulative effect adjustment reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007. In addition, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits during the year. Accordingly, there is no impact on the Company’s December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of FIN 48.

  

The Company files income tax returns in Canada and Mexico. Years ranging from 2001 through 2007, as applicable, are subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions where returns are filed.

(f)

Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements:


  (i)

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement to define fair value, establish a framework for determining fair value measurements that are already required or permitted under current accounting standards and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement only applies to fair value and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

     
  (iii)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement permits entities the option to measure financial instruments at fair value (fair value option) thereby achieving an offsetting effect for accounting purposes for certain changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without have to apply hedge accounting. This statement is effective as of beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Retrospective application to fiscal years preceding the effective date is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of the statement to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

     
  (iv)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, a standard on accounting for non-controlling interests and transactions with non-controlling interest holders in consolidated financial statements. This statement specifies that non-controlling interests are to be treated as a separate component of equity, with increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest as capital transactions. This standard requires net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both the controlling and the non-controlling interests. Additional required disclosures and reconciliations include a separate schedule that shows the effects of any transactions with the non-controlling interests on the equity attributable to the controlling interest.

     
 

The statement is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests, including any that arose before the effective date. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.


  (v)

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revised standard on accounting for business combinations SFAS 141(R).

     
 

The major changes to accounting for business combinations are summarized as follows:

 

all business acquisitions would be measured at fair value

 

most acquisition-related costs would be recognized as expenses as incurred (they would no longer be part of the purchase consideration)

 

non-controlling interests would be measured at fair value at the date of acquisition (i.e., 100% of the assets and liabilities would be measured at fair value even when an acquisition is less than 100%)

 

goodwill, if any, arising on a business combination reflects the excess of the fair value of the acquiree, as a whole, over the net amount of the recognized identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is allocated to the acquirer and the non-controlling interest

The statement is effective for business combination transactions occurring in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Corporation not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.
