Mine operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure.  Mine operating earnings are equal to sales less cost of sales and depreciation and amortization, which is considered to be substantially the same as gross margin.

(2)
Total cash cost per ounce and total production cost per ounce are non-GAAP measurements and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them and are urged to read all GAAP accounting disclosures presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes.  In addition, see the reconciliation of operating costs to “Cash Cost per Ounce of Payable Silver” set forth in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

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.

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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 four 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.

Pan American Silver Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
(Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except for number of options and per share amounts)


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 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 in the 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 to 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.

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.

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 meet 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 September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has had no material past due trade receivables.
 
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 nuevos 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, cash equivalents, and short term investments.
 
In addition to commitments otherwise reported in these financial statements the Company is contractually committed to the following as at September 30, 2008:

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


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.
 
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.  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 and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, taxes 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.

Commodity and Foreign Currency Contracts
 
At the end of Q3 2008, the Company had sold forward 6,442 tonnes of zinc at a weighted average price of $2,466 per tonne and committed an additional 1,050 tonnes to option contracts, which have the effect of ensuring zinc prices of between $2,500 and $2,871 for that quantity.  In addition, the Company had sold forward 215 tonnes of lead at a weighted average price of $2,200 per tonne and committed an additional 3,000 tonnes to option contracts, which have the effect of ensuring lead prices of between $1,920 and $2,144 for that quantity.  The forward sales and option commitments for zinc and lead represent approximately 16% and 17% of the Company’s forecast payable zinc and lead production, respectively, over the following 15 months.  At September 30, 2008, the 3-month prices for zinc and lead were $1,680 and $1,830 per tonne and the mark-to-market value on open positions for both zinc and lead was an unrealized gain of $6.2 million.
 
Approximately one-third of the Company’s operating and capital expenditures are denominated in local currencies other than the US dollar.  These expenditures are exposed to fluctuations in US dollar exchange rates relative to the local currencies.  From time to time, the Company mitigates part of this currency exposure by entering into contracts designed to fix or limit the Company’s exposure to changes in the value of local currencies relative to US dollars.  In anticipation of operating expenditures in Peruvian nuevos soles (“PEN”) and Mexican pesos (“MXN”), the Company has entered into foreign currency contracts with an aggregated nominal value of PEN $76.0 million settling between October 2008 and December of 2009 at an average PEN/US$ exchange rate of 2.83 and contracts with an aggregated nominal value of MXN $19.5 million settling between October 2008 and December of 2009 at an average MXN/US$ exchange rate of 10.61.  At September 30, 2008, the unrealized mark-to-market value of the Company’s position was a loss of $4.8 million.

Subsequent events
 
On October 2, 2008 the Company has entered into additional foreign currency contracts with an aggregated nominal value of MXN $22 million at MXN/US$ exchange rates between 10.6 and 12.00, settling between January and December 2009.
 
On October 10, 2008 Pan American entered into a $70 million revolving credit facility (“the Facility”) with Scotia Capital and Standard Bank Plc (“the Lenders”). The purpose of the Facility is for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Facility, which is principally secured by a pledge and lien of Pan American’s equity interests in its material subsidiaries, has a term of four years. The interest margin on drawings under the Facility ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% over LIBOR, based on the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio. Pan American has agreed to pay a commitment fee of between 0.55% and 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Facility, depending on the level of drawings and the Company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio.  Pan American has the ability to increase the Facility amount to $100 million by receiving additional commitments from one or more banks acceptable to the Lenders.  The Company has made no drawings under this Facility.
