MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR
FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Great Panther Resources Limited is responsible for the presentation and preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Great Panther Resources Limited and all related financial information contained in this Annual Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The consolidated financial statements (as restated) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. They include certain amounts that are based on estimates and judgments of management. Financial information presented elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has a process in place to evaluate internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. We, as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will certify our annual filings with the CSA and SEC as required in Canada by Multilateral Instrument 52-109 and in the United States as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors annually and is comprised of three independent directors. The Audit Committee meets quarterly to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and on an annual basis, the independent auditors’ report. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the external auditors to be appointed by the shareholders at each annual meeting and reviews the independence and effectiveness of their work. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Company, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2007, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, as stated in their report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Great Panther Resources Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great Panther Resources Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits 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 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and operating cash flow deficiencies that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in note 2(a), the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have been restated.

KPMG LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership is the Canadian member firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.




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 March 20, 2008, except as to note 2(a), which is as of February 3, 2009, expressed an unqualified 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 Great Panther Resources Limited

We have audited Great Panther Resources Limited’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.

KPMG LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership is the Canadian member firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.




In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, 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).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 and our report dated March 20, 2008, except as to note 2(a) which is as of February 3, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

GREAT PANTHER RESOURCES LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
 
Years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

1.

Nature of continuing operations:

     

Great Panther Resources Limited (“the Company”) was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) on March 22, 1996 and continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 9, 2004. On October 2, 2003, the Company changed its name from Great Panther Inc. to Great Panther Resources Limited and the common shares were consolidated whereby ten common shares were exchanged for one new common share.

     

The Company is in the business of acquisition, development and exploration, and operation of mineral properties and mines in Mexico. Of the properties in which the Company has an interest, the Topia and Guanajuato mines were in production at the balance sheet dates. The Company’s other mineral property interests are in the exploration stage and it has not yet been determined as to whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically viable. Costs associated with these exploration stage properties have been expensed.

     

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded losses of approximately $19,701,000 and $15,084,000 respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $12,484,000 and $11,433,000, respectively. As at December 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $44,628,000 and a working capital balance of $10,660,000.

     

The Company’s ability to continue on as a going concern is dependent on the achievement of profitable operations, the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to support its business activities. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

     
2.

Significant accounting policies:

     
(a)

Restatement:

     

These consolidated financial statements have been restated to reduce revenue to reflect the proceeds from the sale of concentrates, net of treatment and refining fees charged by counter parties, as the Company assumes no risk or obligation for treatment and refining services under its sales arrangements. The Company previously recorded treatment and refining fees as a cost of sales.

     

The effect of the restatement is a decrease in cost of sales (excluding amortization and depletion) and a decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 by $1,963,976 (2006 - $736,408). This restatement has no impact on the reported loss and loss per share for each of the years in the three years ended December 31, 2007.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The significant measurement differences between those principles and requirements promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively US GAAP), as they affect the Company, are disclosed in note 18.

     
  (c)

Use of estimates:

     
 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated 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 assessment for impairment and useful life of mineral properties, plant and equipment, site restoration costs, valuation of amounts receivable and future income tax assets, assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation, the fair value of the equity component of convertible note debentures and the fair value assigned to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed on acquisition. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with making such estimates, actual results reported in future years could differ from these estimates.

     
  (d)

Cash and cash equivalents:

     
 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Short term investments have maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase, or they are redeemable prior to maturity.

     
  (e)

Marketable securities:

     
 

Marketable securities are recorded at fair market value based on quoted market prices.

     
  (f)

Inventories:

     
 

Inventory consists of ore stockpiles and concentrate inventories which are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Costs include all direct costs incurred in production, including mining, crushing, processing and overhead. Supplies inventory, which includes the cost of consumables used in operations, such as fuel, grinding media, chemicals and spare parts, are stated at the lower of average cost and replacement cost.

     
  (g)

Mineral properties, plant and equipment:

     
 

The Company’s policy is to expense, as incurred, exploration expenditures, periodic option payments related to mineral properties and administrative and land use costs incurred prior to commercial feasibility of mining operations being established. Mineral property acquisition expenditures are capitalized.

     
 

Mineral property sales proceeds or option payments received for exploration rights are treated as cost recoveries. Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair value of common shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement.

Costs related to the acquisition of property and mineral rights, equipment, construction of production facilities and the development and betterment of mine infrastructure and equipment are capitalized. Costs of permitting, evaluation and feasibility are capitalized upon completion of an analysis which demonstrates the economic viability of the mineral deposit.

Once commercial production has commenced, production facilities and equipment, stated at cost, are depreciated using the straight-line method or units-of-production method, if sufficient reserve information is available, over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the life of the mine (5 years) to which the assets relate. As at December 31, 2007, the Company did not have a reliable estimate of reserves and therefore did not use the units-of-production method. Management’s estimate of expected mine life is based upon available internal and external estimated resource information, historical production and recovery levels, planned future production and recovery levels, and other factors. Changes in mine life are recognized prospectively.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Capital assets held at the parent company are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, calculated using the following basis:

  Computer equipment 30% declining balance
  Furniture and fixtures 20% declining balance
  Office equipment 20% declining balance
  Leasehold improvements straight-line over the term of the lease

  (h)

Impairment of long-lived assets:

     
 

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets, including mineral properties, plant and equipment, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset.

     
 

At each reporting period and whenever events or circumstances indicate that an asset's fair value may not be at least equal to its carrying value, management of the Company reviews the net carrying value. These reviews involve consideration of the fair value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has occurred and whether any asset write-down is necessary. The Company considers metals prices, cost of production, proven and probable reserves and salvage value of the property and equipment in its valuation.

     
 

Management's estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties of changes affecting the recoverability of the Company's investment in its mineral property, plant, equipment and mine development. Management's estimates of these factors are based on current conditions. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that in the near term, changes that could adversely affect management's estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from its properties could occur which may necessitate a write-down for asset impairment.

  (i)

Stock-based compensation:

     
 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments granted to non-employees after January 1, 2002 and employees after January 1, 2003 using the fair value based method. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the fair value as the awards are earned and services performed and charged to operations over the service period which normally is the period during which the options vest.

     
  (j)

Revenue recognition:

     
 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of concentrates based on market metal prices and mineral content when title to the concentrates transfers to the customer, which generally occurs on the date the shipment is received. Revenue is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations net of treatment and refining costs paid to counter parties under terms of the off take arrangements. Revenue from the sale of the concentrates is subject to adjustment upon final settlement based upon metal prices, weights and assays. For each reporting period until final settlement, estimates of metal prices are used to record sales using forward metal prices based upon the expected final settlement date. Variations between the sales price recorded at the shipment date and the actual final sales price at the settlement date caused by changes in market metal prices results in an embedded derivative in the sale related accounts receivable balance. The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs with changes in fair value classified as a component of revenue.

     
  (k)

Asset retirement obligations:

     
 

The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the fair value of future reclamation and remediation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the asset, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The liability is measured initially at fair value and the resulting cost capitalized to the carrying value of the related assets. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount and any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows. The asset retirement cost is depreciated over the remaining life of the assets.

     
 

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in remediation technology. The Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities, if any, as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation and reclamation liabilities may have changed. Any such increases in costs could materially impact the future amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation obligations.

     
  (l)

Foreign currency translation:

     
 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

     
 

Monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income.

  (m)

Income taxes:

     
 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, more likely than not to be realized.

     
  (n)

Loss per share:

     
 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options or warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because the effect on the basic loss per share of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive.

     
  (o)

Comparative figures:

     
 

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.


3.

Adoption of new accounting standards:

     
(a)

Accounting Changes:

     

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company has adopted CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes, which requires that: (a) a voluntary change in accounting principles can be made if, and only if, the changes result in more reliable and relevant information, (b) changes in accounting policies are accompanied with disclosures of prior period amounts and justification for the change, and (c) for changes in estimates, the nature and amount of the change should be disclosed. The Company has not made any voluntary change in accounting principles since the adoption of the revised standard.

     
(b)

Financial Instruments:

     

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company has adopted CICA Handbook Section 3855 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, Section 3865 Hedges, Section 1530 Comprehensive Income and Section 3251 Equity.

     

In accordance with these new standards, all financial assets, except those classified as held-to-maturity and loans and receivables, are measured at fair value. All financial liabilities are measured at fair value when they are classified as held-for-trading; otherwise, they are measured at amortized cost. Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income. These amounts will be reclassified from shareholders’ equity to net income when realized. Those instruments classified as held- for-trading, have gains or losses included in earnings in the period in which they arise. The Company has

Years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

classified its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading and therefore measures them at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in income. This change in accounting policy had no effect on the Company’s previous financial statements.

The Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities. This change in accounting policy had no effect as at January 1, 2007. Categories of regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at the settlement date.

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 from transactions and other events arising from non-owner sources and includes unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale.

Section 3865, Hedges, establishes standards for when and how hedge accounting may be applied. The Company has not designated any agreements as hedges.

Section 3251, Equity, establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity.

4.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

     
(a)

Capital Disclosures:

     

CICA Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, requires additional disclosures about how a company manages its capital. Such information includes quantitative and qualitative disclosure about the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, as well as summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital. The Company will be also be required to disclose whether during the period it complied with externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences of non-compliance, if applicable. Such disclosures will be based on information provided internally by the Company’s key management personnel. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Section on the disclosure in the financial statements.

     
(b)

Financial Instruments – Presentation:

     

Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. The Company does not expect adoption of this section to have a significant effect on the presentation in the financial statements.

     
(c)

Financial Instruments – Disclosures:

     

Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures about an entity’s financial assets and liabilities, and their associated risks. Such disclosures include the significance of financial instruments for an entity’s financial position and performance and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments. Specific disclosures include the criteria for designating the classification of different types of financial instruments and determining when impairment is recorded against the related financial asset or when an allowance is used. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Section on the disclosure in the financial statements.

Inventories:

     
 

Section 3031, Inventories, establishes standards for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. It provides guidance on the determination of costs and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value. The Section also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories. This standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements beginning on January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Section on the financial statements.

     
  (e)

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 announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The transition 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.

Acquisitions:

       
(a)

Topia Mine:

       

On June 30, 2005, the Company purchased 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment and Topia Mining Concessions pursuant to the Topia Purchase Agreement located in the Municipality of Topia, State of Durango, Mexico.

       

In consideration for the rights outlined in the Topia Purchase Agreement, the Company initiated payments totaling US$2,551,678 as follows:

       
(i)

US$100,000 upon registration of the option agreement and expensed as mineral exploration costs (paid);

       
(ii)

US$150,000 upon notification to option or of the Company’s decision to exercise the option to purchase the rights and the assets of the mine, and US$540,165 on the date of the formal signing of the purchase agreement totaling CAD$851,721 (paid);

       
(iii)

three annual payments of US$300,000, US$300,000 and US$346,919 each on the first, second and third year, respectively, commencing 18 months after the date of the agreement (paid); and

       
(iv)

the Company also agreed to assume the debt encumbering the property, totaling US$814,594 (US$325,527 paid upon signing of the purchase agreement). The debt was repayable out of production from concentrate sales as a 10% Net Smelter Return. As at December 31, 2007, the remaining debt balance is fully repaid.

The net present value of the Company’s post acquisition payment requirements pursuant to the Topia Purchase Agreement and assumed debt was determined by discounting the face value of the US$1,761,493 (CAD$2,158,534) at the Company’s estimated current borrowing cost to the date of acquisition, to equal $1,430,937. As at December 31, 2007, no remaining obligations remained.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration given and the estimate fair value of assets acquired as at the acquisition date:

         
  Assets acquired:      
           Plant $  1,730,573  
           Mineral properties   269,516  
           Offices and mobile equipment   319,253  
         
    $  2,319,342  
         
  Consideration given:      
           Cash and direct costs of acquisition $  888,405  
           Debt   1,430,937  
         
    $  2,319,342  

The Company incurred mineral exploration expenditures on mineral property included in the Topia Mine Project both prior and subsequent to the acquisition transaction (note 9).

Guanajuato Mine:

     
 

On October 25, 2005, the Company purchased a 100% ownership interest in a group of producing silver- gold mines in Guanajuato, Mexico which includes 2 main properties, a plant, workshops and administration facilities, mining infrastructure, equipment, and certain surface rights (real estate). The total purchase price of US$7,250,000 (paid) consisted of staged cash payments to the end of 2006. The cash paid and direct acquisition costs incurred at the acquisition date totaled $4,428,416. The remaining staged payments were discounted at the Company’s estimated current borrowing rate to the date of acquisition, to equal $3,918,747. As at December 31, 2006, no remaining obligations remained.

     
 

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration given and the estimated fair value of assets acquired at the acquisition date:


         
  Assets acquired:      
           Plant $  2,049,063  
           Mineral properties   3,750,000  
           Offices and mobile equipment   811,722  
           Land   1,736,378  
         
    $  8,347,163  
         
  Consideration given:      
           Cash and direct costs of acquisition $  4,428,416  
           Debt   3,918,747  
         
    $  8,347,163  

 

The Company incurred mineral exploration expenditures on mineral properties included in the Guanajuato Mine Project both prior and subsequent to the acquisition transaction (note 9).

     
 

A legal proceeding was launched in 2006 by five dissident members of the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalurgica Sante Fe (the "Cooperativa") against the administration of the Cooperativa. Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V. ("MMR") and one of MMR’s officers were named in the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that the sale of the Guanajuato mine assets should be nullified on the basis that the proceedings leading to the approval of the sale did not meet specific requirements as set out in the bylaws of the Cooperativa. The lawsuit was abandoned late in the second quarter of 2007 and was officially confirmed by the Court, after which the lawsuit cannot be re-initiated by the five dissidents.

     
  (c)

Arcoiris Concession:

     
 

On March 8, 2006, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Arcoiris concession. The total purchase price of US$300,000 consists of staged cash payments of US$20,000 (paid) upon signing of the purchase agreement, US$80,000 (paid) upon registration of the agreement and US$100,000 each on the first (paid) and second anniversary date. The Arcoiris concession is a strategic claim that is contiguous with the existing Topia Mine Property. The 100 hectare concession contains portions of the strike extension and down-dip projection of the Dos Amigos Vein that the Company has already started developing on its Topia Mine Property.

  (a)

Santo Nino Project:

     
 

On March 13, 2007, the Company satisfied all conditions of the option agreement by paying the seventh and final installment payment. By making cumulative payments of US$165,000 over a three year period, the Company is granted ownership to the Santo Nino Mining Concession located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico.

     
 

On February 2, 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement with Altair Ventures Incorporated (“Altair”). Terms of the agreement allow Altair to acquire a 70% interest in the four mining claims named “San Antonio”, “Iran”, “Chiripa”, and “Santo Nino” by making scheduled cash payments totaling US$200,000, issuing a total of 200,000 shares of Altair and fulfilling certain work commitments on the property over a three year period. US$30,000 was received upon signing of the agreement.

     
 

There is no underlying Net Smelter Return royalty or other royalties and Great Panther owns 100% of all four concessions as at December 31, 2007.

     
  (b)

San Taco Project:

     
 

On February 28, 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement (the San Taco Option Agreement) which grants the Company the right and option, for a period of three years plus 30 days, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to the San Taco Mining Concessions located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico.

     
 

The Company did not make the required US$100,000 payment on February 28, 2006 and as a result forfeited all rights and options to the property.

On June 13, 2005, the Company signed an Option Agreement to earn a 100% interest of the ownership rights in two mining claims designated as the Virimoa Property located in the Topia Mining District, State of Durango, Mexico.

       
 

In May 2007, the Company chose to forfeit all rights and options to the property. Of the total consideration of US$300,000 and 300,000 common shares of the Company payable over three years, $50,000 was paid and 150,000 shares issued. No payments were made in 2007.

       
  (d)

Mapimi Project:

       
 

On September 11, 2006, the Company signed an Option Agreement to earn a 100% interest of the ownership rights to seventeen mining concessions collectively known as the Mapimi Project (formerly known as Km 66) in eastern Durango State, Mexico. In consideration for the right and purchase, the Company must make payments totalling US$3,000,000 and issue 500,000 common shares as follows:

       
  (i)

US$20,000 (paid) within 30 days of the signing of the option agreement;

       
  (ii)

US$80,000 (paid) and issuance of 200,000 common shares (issued) upon registration of the option agreement;

       
  (iii)

US$200,000 (paid) and issuance of 200,000 common shares (issued) by the first anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement;

       
  (iv)

US$500,000 and issuance of 100,000 common shares by the second anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement;

       
  (v)

US$700,000 by the third anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement; and

       
  (vi)

US$1,500,000 by the fourth anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement.

       
 

If the option is exercised, the vendors will retain a 3% Net Smelter Return, each 0.5% (to a maximum of 2%) of which can be purchased for US$500,000.

  (ii)

On July 13, 2007, the Company completed financing agreements for cash proceeds of $4,050,000. The financing consisted of two 8% per annum unsecured convertible notes maturing July 14, 2011 and is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $2.25 per share at the holders’ option at any time. The conversion feature of the note has a fair value of $1,563,000 using a Black- Scholes valuation model upon issue of the note. Interest accreted on the notes payable during 2007 was $143,104.

The fair value of the conversion feature of the notes has been recorded as an equity component of the note financing, reducing the amount assigned to the debt component. The debt component is accreted to its fair value over the term to maturity as a non-cash interest expense charge.

Asset retirement obligations:

   

The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to site restoration, clean-up and ongoing treatment and monitoring of the Topia and Guanajuato mines. A reconciliation of the provision for asset retirement obligations is as follows:


      2007     2006  
               
  Balance, beginning of year $  92,285   $  -  
               
  Changes in cash flow estimates   986,182     92,285  
  Accretion expense   22,704     -  
               
  Balance, end of year $  1,101,171   $  92,285  

The provision for asset retirement obligations is based on the following assumptions:

 
  • The total undiscounted estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s estimated obligations is US$2,289,000 (2006 - US$175,000).

       

     

     
  • The expected timing of payments is estimated as follows: US$1,698,000 in 2011, US$290,000 in 2012, and US$301,000 in 2013. This timing matches our remaining life estimate of the mines, which is estimated at 3 years in the absence of a reliable estimate of reserves.

       

     

     
  • A credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 25.1% (2006 – 26.8%) has been used to discount cash flows.

    Stock options and warrants:

         
     

    The Company, in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), is authorized to grant incentive stock options (“options”) to officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Exchange policies permit the Company’s directors to grant options for the purchase of shares of the Company to qualified persons as incentive for their services. Pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), options must be non-transferable and may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of granting and may not exceed 5% of the outstanding to any individual (maximum of 2% to any consultant) in any 12-month period. The exercise price of options is determined by the board of directors by reference to the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Options have expiry dates of no longer than five years from the date of grant and terminate 30 days following the termination of the participant’s employment. Vesting of options is generally at the time of grant.

         
     

    On December 3, 2007, the Company amended the Plan to allow a participant the right, when entitled to exercise an option, to terminate the option and in lieu of receiving common shares pursuant to the exercise of the option, receive at no cost to the participant, that number of common shares which when multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on the day immediately prior to the exercise, have a total value equal to the product of that number of common shares subject to the option multiplied by the difference between the closing price on the day immediately prior to the exercise of the right and the option exercise price. The right to this cashless exercise feature is subject to approval by the board of directors. In the year ended December 31, 2007, 35,000 common shares were issued upon cashless exercises.

    The significant components of the Company’s future income tax assets are as follows:

          2007     2006  
                   
      Future income tax assets:

      Future income tax liability $  (2,421,504 ) $  -  

    At December 31, 2007, the Company had operating losses of $13,170,509 (2006 - $20,988,000; 2005 - $8,795,000) and capital losses of $1,934,816 (2006 - $1,934,816; 2005 - $1,989,000). The operating losses at December 31, 2007 includes $12,365,275 (2006 - $7,285,000; 2005 - $3,881,000) in Canada and $805,233 (2006 - $13,703,000; 2005 - $4,914,000) in Mexico. The capital losses are without expiry, and the operating losses expire at various dates to 2027.

       

    A new tax in Mexico, referred to as a “Flat Tax”, was enacted in 2007 and came into effect on January 1, 2008. The Flat Tax is an alternative minimum tax. Taxpayers are required to pay the higher of the amount due under income tax or flat tax. The tax basis of fixed assets is significantly reduced and tax losses originating from prior years are not deductible under Flat Tax.

    Financial instruments:


      (a)

    Fair value:

         
     

    The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the items. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The fair value of long-term debt payable to third parties approximates its carrying value as their interest rates reflect estimated market rates at December 31, 2007.

         
     

    In evaluating the fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

         
     

    For the year ended December 31, 2007, an unrealized gain of $5,945 for marketable securities designated as available-for-sale has been recognized in other comprehensive income.

    Foreign currency and interest rate risk:

         
     

    The Company currently has foreign operations, which gives rise to a risk that earnings and cash flows may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. To the date of these financial statements, the Company has not entered into foreign currency hedging arrangements or instruments to fix interest rates.

         
      (c)

    Credit risk:

         
     

    The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from one customer. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing evaluations and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

    Commitments and contingencies:

         
    (a)

    On August 16, 2007, Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V. received a notice of assessment from the Instituto Mexicano Del Seguro Social (the Mexican Social Security Institute (“IMSS”)) for approximately $347,000 of additional social security contributions due and penalties thereon. On November 9, 2007, the Company appealed this assessment and pledged a small piece of unused property at the Guanajuato mine as a guarantee. The guarantee will be removed upon successful appeal of the claim or by payment of the amount owing to the IMSS.

         

    Unpaid IMSS amounts are required to be adjusted for the National Consumer Price Index and penalties increase over the passage of time. The value of the claim at December 31, 2007 is $516,000. This has not been provided for since management believes that this assessment is without merit and will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

         
    (b)

    The Company is committed to making severance payments amounting to approximately $1,645,000 to certain Officers and management in the event that there is a change of control of the Company.

         
    (c)

    Commitments outstanding relating to laboratory and drilling services amount to $1,146,000 in 2008, $818,000 in 2009, $818,000 in 2010, and $818,000 in 2011.

         
    (d)

    The Company is committed to operating lease payments of $112,000 in 2008 and $66,000 in 2009.

         
    17.

    Subsequent events:

         
    (a)

    Revision to Shareholder Rights Plan

         

    On March 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan") as part of its procedures for dealing with any parties who may seek to acquire control of the Company through a take-over bid or other transaction. To implement the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issue of one Right in respect of each common share of the Company outstanding to holders of record on March 7, 2008. Until the occurrence of certain specific events, the Rights will trade with the common shares of the Company.

         

    The Rights become exercisable only when a person, including any party related to it or acting jointly with it, acquires or announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company without complying with the "Permitted Bid" provisions of the Plan. Under the Plan, a Permitted Bid is a bid made to all shareholders on identical terms and conditions that is open for at least 60 days. If at the end of 60 days more than 50% of the outstanding shares, other than those owned by the offeror and certain persons related to the offeror or acting jointly with it, have been tendered, the offeror may take up and pay for the shares but must extend the bid for a further 10 business days to allow all other shareholders to tender. Should a non-permitted acquisition occur, each Right would entitle each holder of

    common shares (other than the offeror and certain parties related to the offeror or acting jointly with it) to purchase additional common shares of the Company at a 50% discount to the market price at the time.

    Although the Plan has become effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors, in accordance with stock exchange requirements it will be submitted to shareholders of the Company for ratification at the next annual shareholders’ meeting. If ratified, the Plan will continue until the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2012. The Plan is subject to acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

         
      (b)

    Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase two scoop trams for a total purchase price of US$866,923, to be financed over 24 months at an interest rate of 9.93%.

         
      (c)

    Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company received proceeds of $360,000 from the exercise of 400,000 options.

      (a)

    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). A description of US GAAP and practices prescribed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively US GAAP) that result in measurement differences from Canadian GAAP are as follows:

           
      (i)

    Income taxes:

           
     

    As described in note 2(m), the Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes which is also in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under Canadian GAAP, future tax assets and liabilities are recorded at substantially enacted tax rates. Under US GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates. In 2007, there were no differences between enacted and substantially enacted rates. For each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, net future tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance as it is not more likely than not that the future tax assets would be realized. As a result, the application of US GAAP in accounting for income taxes does not result in any material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP for future tax assets or liabilities.

           
      (ii)

    Stock-based compensation:

           
     

    The Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with respect to the accounting for stock-based compensation on January 1, 2002 as described in note 2(i). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) became effective for US GAAP purposes for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

    NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
     
    Years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

     

    For fiscal years ending prior to December 31, 2003, as allowed by SFAS 123, the Company followed the intrinsic value principles of APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations, in measuring compensation expense for employee options. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The application of APB 25 resulted in compensation expense of $15,000 being recognized for employees in the year ended December 31, 2001 under US GAAP and no similar expense was required under Canadian GAAP. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 whereby the fair value of the stock options granted to employees was expensed. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), employee compensation cost recognized in 2003 is the same as that which would have been recognized had the provisions of SFAS 123 been applied from its original effective date. Results of prior years have not been restated.

         
     

    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS 123R) Share Based Payment using the modified prospective method for all employee awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date using the fair value measurement method of this standard. For unvested employee equity awards as of the effective date, compensation is to be recognized based upon the grant date fair value determined under SFAS 123, adjusted to reflect the estimated impact of forfeitures. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required. Non-employee awards are accounted for under the fair value method under both Canadian and US GAAP.

         
     

    There were no significant differences in accounting for stock-based compensation between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP during the three years ended December 31, 2007.

    Elimination of deficit:

         
     

    During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company reduced its paid-up capital by $6,211,205 to eliminate the deficit at March 31, 1999. In order to effect these reductions, it was not necessary to revalue the assets of the Company. As a consequence, all conditions under the US GAAP quasi- reorganization rules were not met and the recapitalization of the deficit would not be recorded.

         
      (iv)

    Convertible note payable:

         
     

    Under Canadian GAAP, the proceeds of the financing allocated to the estimated fair value of the conversion feature of the debt is recorded as an equity component of the debt (note 10(b)). Under US GAAP, a value is assigned to the conversion feature only if the effective conversion rate is less than the market price of the common stock at the date of issuance. Accordingly, no value would be assigned under US GAAP to the conversion feature on the convertible notes issued in 2006 and 2007.

         
     

    Applying US GAAP, the convertible notes at December 31, 2007 would be recorded at face value for a total of $6,070,000 and no value would be assigned to equity components of the convertible notes. In addition, accretion on the calculated debt discounts on the convertible notes under Canadian GAAP aggregating $377,812 (2006 - $149,799, 2005 - nil) for the year ended December 31, 2007 would not have been recorded, reducing interest expense by an equivalent amount.

    Statement of operations presentation:

         
     

    The consolidated statement of operations includes a write-down of the San Taco mineral property in other expenses. Under US GAAP, this amount would be disclosed as an operating expense.

         
      (vi)

    Mineral properties, plant, and equipment

         
     

    Production facilities and mineral property costs are currently amortized over the estimated life of mine of 5 years. Under US GAAP, the Company expects to use the units-of-production method based on reserves as defined under SEC Industry Guide 7 once such reserve amounts are determinable.

    Under Canadian GAAP, periodic option payments related to mineral properties are expensed prior to commercial feasibility of mining operations being established. Under US GAAP, periodic option payments are capitalized when such payments are associated with the acquisition of mineral rights and amortized over their respective option term. This measurement difference is not material for all reporting periods.

    Recently adopted United States accounting pronouncements:

           
     

    In June 2006, FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109. This interpretation provides guidance on recognition and measurement of uncertainties in income taxes and is effective for the Company’s 2007 fiscal year end. The adoption of this interpretation did not result in any adjustment being recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

           
      (c)

    Recently issued United States accounting pronouncements:

           
      (i)

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

           
      (ii)

    In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities which permits entities to choose to measure various financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

           
      (iii)

    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

      (iv)

    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 periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
