Pan American Silver Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except for number of options and per share amounts)

 
1.
Nature of Operations
 
Pan American Silver Corp. and its subsidiary companies (collectively, the “Company”, or “Pan American”) are engaged in silver mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation.  The Company’s primary product (silver) is produced in Peru, Mexico and Bolivia.  The Company has current project development activities in Argentina and Bolivia, and exploration activities throughout South America and Mexico.
 
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)            Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and follow the same accounting policies and methods as our most recent annual financial statements, except for the change as discussed in note 3. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in Canada for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
b)         Principles of Consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the most significant of which are presented in the following table:

3.         Changes in Accounting Policy
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted three new Handbook Sections of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”): Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, Section 3031, “Inventories”, Section 3862, “Financial Instruments-Disclosure” and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments – Presentation”.  The adoption of these guidelines did not have any material effect on the Company’s results, financial position or cashflows.
 
Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures”, establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed.  These standards require a company to disclose their objectives, policies

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except for number of options and per share amounts)


and processes for managing capital along with summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital.  In addition, disclosures are to include whether companies have complied with externally imposed capital requirements and when a company has not complied with capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance.
 
Section 3031, “Inventories”, replaces the existing inventories standard.  The new standard requires inventory to be valued on a first-in, first-out or weighted average basis, which is consistent with the Company’s current treatment.  The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and Section 3863 “Financial Instruments – Presentation”, replaces Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”.  The new disclosure standard increases the emphasis on the risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and in addition requires companies to provide disclosures of their financial statements that enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for the company’s financial position and performance and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the company is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the company manages those risks.  The new presentation standard carries forward the former presentation requirements.
 
4.
Management of Capital
 
The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time maximizing growth of its business and provide returns to its shareholders.  The Company’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity, comprising issued share capital plus contributed surplus plus retained earnings less accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
5.         Financial Instruments
 
Overview:
 
The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns.  The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are credit risk, foreign exchange rate risk, liquidity risk and metal price risk.  The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
 
Credit risk:
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meets its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.  The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
 
The Company’s exposure to credit risk with its customers is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.  The Company generally does not require collateral for sales.  The Company takes into consideration the customer’s payment history, their credit worthiness and the then current economic environment in which the customer operates to assess impairment.  The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has not experienced significant credit losses in the past.  At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has had no material past due trade receivables.

Pan American Silver Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except for number of options and per share amounts)


The Company invests its cash with the objective of maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment obligations.  The Company invests its cash and short term investments with counterparties that are of high credit quality.
 
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk:
 
The Company reports its financial statements in US dollars (“USD”); however the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies.  As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies.  Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.  In order to mitigate this exposure, from time to time the Company has purchased Peruvian New soles, Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars to match anticipated spending.
 
Liquidity risk:
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.  The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans.  The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents.
 
The Company’s liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarized below:
 
PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

Total contractual obligations
  $ 40,906     $ 40,321     $ 585                  

(1)
Contract commitments for construction materials for the Manantial Espejo and San Vicente projects existing at March 31, 2008, which will be incurred during 2008.
 
(2)
Amounts above do not include payments related to the Company’s anticipated asset retirement obligation.
 
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
 
Metal price risk:
 
Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments.
 
The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead, copper, and gold.  The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown extreme volatility and are beyond the Company’s control.
 
Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in silver prices, Company policy is not to hedge the price of silver.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except for number of options and per share amounts)


The Company mitigates the price risk associated with its base metal production by committing some of its forecasted base metal production under forward sales and option contracts.  The Board of Directors continually assesses the Company’s strategy towards its base metal exposure, depending on market conditions.
 
The Company markets its products in the United Kingdom, the US and other jurisdictions, including Peru, and as a result, is subject to currency risk.  Sales to customers are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.  Substantially all of the Company’s sales are in U.S. dollars. The Company does not hedge the risk related to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar from the date of the sales transactions to the collection date due to the short term nature of this exposure.
 
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity and terms of these financial instruments.
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company has not recognized a future income tax benefit related to the cumulative mark-to-market losses on the available-for-sale securities and investments held by the Company.  The tax estimate is based on the assumption that if the securities were sold at their March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 fair market value the capital loss would reduce the income taxes otherwise payable in the relevant tax jurisdiction.
