1.         Nature of Operations
 
Pan American Silver Corp, subsidiary companies and joint ventures (collectively, the “Company” or “Pan American”) are engaged in silver mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing, refining, and reclamation.  The Company’s operations consist of production of its primary product (silver) in Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, along with development activities in Argentina, Mexico, and Bolivia, and exploration activities in South America.
 
 
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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
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, 2006.
 
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:

Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
c)  Short-term Investments:  Short-term investments are classified as “available for sale”, and consist of highly-liquid debt securities with original maturities in excess of three months and equity securities.  The debt securities include corporate bonds with S & P rating of A- to AAA with an overall average of single A high.  These debt and equity securities are initially recorded at cost, which upon their initial measurement is equal to their fair value.  Subsequent measurements for bonds included in available-for-sale securities are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  Interest income and amortized premium or discount is charged to net income.  Changes in the market value of the securities are recorded as changes to other comprehensive income.

3.         Changes in Accounting Policy
 
On January 1, 2007, the Company retroactively adopted, without restatement of prior periods, the recommendations included in the following Sections of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook:  Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, Section 3865, “Hedges”, Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, and Section 3251, “Equity”.
 
Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, requires the presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a new financial statement. Comprehensive income is the change in the net assets of a company arising from transactions, events and circumstances not related to shareholders. Section 3251, “Equity”, establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period.
 
Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, and Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation”, establish standards for classification, recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments (including derivatives) and non-financial derivatives in the financial statements.  This standard prescribes when to recognize a financial instrument in the balance sheet and at what amount.  Depending on their balance sheet classification, fair value or cost-based measures are used.  This standard also prescribes the basis of presentation for gains and losses on financial instruments.  Based on financial instrument classification, gains and losses on financial instruments are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income.
 
The company has made the following classification:
 
-  
Short-term investments including debt and equity securities are classified as “Available for sale securities”.  Changes in the market value of the securities are recorded as changes to other comprehensive income.
 
-  
Accounts receivable are classified as “Loans and Receivables”.  They are recorded at cost, which upon their initial measurement is equal to their fair value.  Subsequent measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
-  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as “Other financial liabilities”.  They are initially measured at their fair value.  Subsequent measurements are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
Section 3865, “Hedges”, sets out standards specifying when and how an entity can use hedge accounting.  It offers entities the possibility of applying different reporting options than those set out in Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, to qualifying transactions that they elect to designate as hedges for accounting purposes.
 
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts in the normal course of its operations.  For these derivatives, the Company elected not to use hedge accounting.  As a result, based on Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, these derivatives are measured at fair value at the end of each period and the gains or losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in net income as gains or losses on commodity or foreign currency contracts.
 
The adoption of these new standards translated into the following changes as at January 1, 2007: a $153,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income and a $153,000 increase in short-term investments reported under assets.  The adoption of these new standards had no impact on the Company’s cash flow.

The Company has recognized a future income tax liability of $1.4 million related to the cumulative mark-to-market gains 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 September 30, 2007 fair market value the capital gains would be taxed at the appropriate substantively enacted tax rates within each jurisdiction.

6.  Commodity and foreign currency contracts
 
At September 30, 2007, the Company had fixed the price of 600,000 ounces of silver produced during the third quarter and contained in concentrates, which are due to be priced in October and November of 2007 under the Company’s concentrate contracts.  The price fixed for these ounces averaged $12.80 per ounce while the spot price of silver was $13.65 on September 30, 2007, resulting in an unrealized loss of $0.5 million.
 
At September 30, 2007, the Company had sold forward 6,545 tonnes of zinc at a weighted average price of $3,344 per tonne and committed an additional 2,650 tonnes to option contracts, which have the effect of ensuring zinc prices of between $2,500 and $2,871 for that quantity. The forward sales and option commitments for zinc represent approximately 30 per cent of the Company’s forecast payable zinc production during 2008.  At September 30, 2007, the cash offered price for zinc was $3,059 per tonne and the mark-to-market value was an unrealized gain of $1.1 million.

9.         Acquisitions of Mining Assets
 
San Vicente (Pan American Silver (Bolivia) S.A.)
 
On May 23, 2007, Pan American completed the acquisition of an additional 40 percent interest in PAS Bolivia, the operator of the San Vicente Mine from Empresa Minera Unificada S.A. (EMUSA).  The transaction gave the Company an indirect 95 percent interest in San Vicente.  The purchase price was $9.0 million, plus acquisition costs, plus a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”).  The NSR is factored by 80 per cent and is payable only after Pan American has recovered its capital investment in the project and only when the average price of silver in a given financial quarter is $9.00 per ounce or greater.
 
The acquisition of the additional 40 percent interest was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
 
The preliminary allocation of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and the consideration paid are summarized as follows:
 
Current assets, including cash of $1.9 million
   
$      4,855
Mineral property, plant and equipment, net
5,376
 
10,231
Less:
 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
652
Future income tax liability
429
Total purchase price
$      9,150

Consideration paid is as follows:
Cash paid at closing
$      8,000
Payable due in one year
1,000
Acquisition costs (estimated)
150
 
$      9,150

The purchase cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows and estimates made by management. The purchase consideration for the mining assets of San Vicente exceeded the book value of the underlying assets by $ 0.8 million. In addition, the Company considered the prior ownership basis in calculating the tax impact of the acquisition.  These amounts have been applied to increase the carrying value of the mineral properties for accounting purposes.  However, this did not increase the carrying value of the underlying assets for tax purposes and resulted in a temporary difference between accounting and tax values. The resulting estimated future income tax liability associated with this temporary difference of $ 0.4 million was also applied to increase the carrying value of the mineral properties.
 
For purposes of presenting a summary of assets and liabilities acquired, the balance sheet of Pan American Silver (Bolivia) S.A. at May 31, 2007
 
 
9

 
has been used as a proxy for the balance sheet on May 23, 2007.  The Company does not expect that the final allocation of the consideration among the assets and liabilities of the San Vicente project will materially vary from those shown above.

11.  Dukat sale
 
On November 8, 2004 the Company completed the sale of its 20 percent interest in the Dukat silver mine in Russia for up to $43.0 million.  The Company received $20.5 million in cash in 2004 and may receive up to $22.5 million in contingent future payments.  The future payments are to be made annually based on the yearly average of silver price as follows:
 
 
Average
   
Amount
 
Price of Silver
   
of annual payment
 
$5.50 -  $5.99
   
$500,000                       
 
$6.00 -  $6.99
   
$1,000,000                       
 
$7.00 -  $7.99
   
$2,000,000                       
 
$8.00 -  $8.99
   
$5,000,000                       
 
$9.00 -  $9.99
   
$6,000,000                       
 
$10.00 - and above
   
$8,000,000                       

 
During 2006 and 2005 the Company recognized gains of $8.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, relating to the future payments based on the fact that the average silver price for the year was $11.55 for 2006 and $7.31 for 2005.  The agreement also includes provisions for early payment of remaining future payments on the occurrence of certain events.  One such event occurred in March 2007 when the purchaser of the Dukat property went out to raise money on an initial public offer (“IPO”) for the property.  According to the provisions in the sale agreement, this event triggers an early payment whereby the Company is to receive 50 percent of the outstanding future payments owed at the time of the IPO, which amounted to $10.25 million.  The Company received $10.25 million in cash in March, 2007 and has recognized this receipt as a gain in net income for the current period.  The Company has received from the purchaser $14.25 million to date.  The Company expects to receive $10.25 million; $8.0 million recorded as a current receivable due on or before December 28, 2007 and the remaining balance of $2.25 million recorded as a long term receivable due on or before December 28, 2008.

16.       Other legal matters
 
Pan American Silver Corp., has been named in two separate law suits filed in the Superior Court of the State of California.  The claims arise from two separate incidents which occurred on or about April 7, 2006 and April 14, 2006.  Claims arise from individuals trespassing on property allegedly owned by the Company.  The individuals entered into an inactive mine and failed to notice an open shaft and fell.  The April 7, 2006 incident resulted in a fatality with Plaintiffs seeking damages for wrongful death, personal injury, special damages, funeral, and burial expenses.  The incident which occurred on April 14, 2006 resulted in injuries to the individual that fell down the shaft; however the extent of the claimed injuries is currently unknown.  Plaintiff seeks general, special, and punitive damages as a result of the incident.  Legal proceedings have recently commenced in the aforementioned matters and the extent and amount of loss is undetermined at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend these complaints.  No amounts have been accrued for any potential loss under these complaints.
 
17.  Subsequent events
 
Bank credit facilities
 
On October 18, 2007 the Company secured a $50 million revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes.  The credit facility is secured by certain of the Company’s short term investments.  Any amounts drawn under the credit facility will incur interest at Canadian dollar Prime Rate for Canadian dollar drawings or Alternative Base Rate for US dollar drawings.  The credit facility does not have a maturity date but may be terminated by lender upon 30 day notice.  The Company had not made any drawings under the facility.

Mexican flat tax enacted, October 1, 2007
 
On October 1, 2007 the Mexican taxing authority enacted a new business flat tax (“IETU”) that becomes effective for years starting in 2008. The IETU is defined as a minimum tax in respect to income tax (IT), but with a wider taxable base as many of the tax deductions authorized for IT purposes are not permissible for the IETU. The transitional provision establishes the rate for 2008 at 16.5% and 17% for 2009.  The rate applied after 2009 will be 17.5%.  The tax will be computed by applying the applicable rate to the amount resulting from deducting expenses related to the deductions authorized by the law from the total income earned in the year. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new tax will have on its future operations and cash requirements in Mexico.
