SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silvercorp Metals Inc., along with its subsidiary companies (collectively the “Company”), is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and mining of precious and base metal mineral properties.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and follow the same accounting policies and methods set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by Canadian GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2011.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silvercorp Metals Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Silvercorp Metals China Inc., Fortune Mining Limited, Fortune Copper Limited, Fortress Mining Inc., Fortune Gold Mining Limited, Victor Resources Ltd., Victor Mining Ltd., Yangtze Mining Ltd., Yangtze Mining (H.K.) Ltd., 0875786 B.C. Ltd., Wonder Success Ltd., 82% owned subsidiary, Qinghai Found Mining Company Ltd. (“Qinghai Found”), 80% owned subsidiary, Henan Huawei Mining Co. Ltd. (“Henan Huawei”, also see notes 6&9), 77.5% owned subsidiary, Henan Found Mining Co. Ltd. (“Henan Found”), and 95% owned subsidiaries, Anhui Yangtze Mining Co. Ltd. and Guangdong Found Mining Co. Ltd.

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) New Canadian Accounting Pronouncements

(i) Convergence with IFRS

In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with early adoptions permitted. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt IFRS for fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company’s first IFRS financial statements will be its interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2012 with an opening balance sheet date of April 1, 2011, which will require restatement of comparative information presented.

Page 6




SILVERCORP METALS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The conversion to IFRS will impact the Company’s accounting policies, information technology and data systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. The transition may also impact business activities, such as certain contractual arrangements, debt covenants, capital requirements and compensation arrangements.

(ii) Business combinations and related sections

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 “Business Combinations” to replace Section 1581. The new standard effectively harmonizes the business combinations standard under Canadian GAAP with IFRS. The new standard revises guidance on the determination of the carrying amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill and accounting for non-controlling interests at the time of a business combination.

The CICA concurrently issued Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602 “Non-controlling Interests”, which replace Section 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1601 provides revised guidance on the preparation of consolidated financial statements and Section 1602 addresses accounting for non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination.

The new standards will become effective prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period on January 1, 2011 with early adoption available. The Company did not early adopt these new standards but continues to evaluate the attributes of early adoption of these standards and their potential effects.

(iii) Multiple deliverable revenue arrangements

In December 2009, the EIC issued EIC Abstract 175, “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”. This EIC addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how such a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. This EIC should be applied prospectively and should be applied to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables entered into or materially modified in the first annual fiscal period beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company did not early adopt this EIC and upon adoption does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(a) New Pacific Metals Corp. (“NUX”), with significant influence

New Pacific Metals Corp. is a Canadian public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange with a trading symbol “NUX”. NUX is a related party of the Company by way of a common director and officers.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, NUX completed a private placement by issuing 18,000,000 units at CAD$1.35 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one NUX common share at CAD$2.00 until June 22, 2012. The Company acquired, through this private placement, 2,000,000 units of NUX for a cash consideration of $2.7 million (CAD$2.7 million). The Company used the relative fair value method to allocate the total consideration to the two million common shares and one million warrants. The fair value of warrants was included in “Warrants” as at December 31, 2010.

As at December 31, 2010, the Company owned 9,402,100 common shares (March 31, 2010 - 7,400,000 common shares) of NUX, representing an ownership interest of 14.3% (March 31, 2010 - 23.4%). In addition to the above-mentioned private placement, the dilution of the Company’s ownership in NUX was also a result of NUX issuing 15,613,122 common shares to acquire a mining company during this current fiscal year. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, Silvercorp recognized dilution gain of $3,332 and $4,726, respectively.

(b) Common shares and warrants in publicly-traded companies with the Company having no significant influence

The Company has been acquiring, on open market or by participating in private placements, equity interests of other publicly-traded mining companies. These equity interests, including common shares and warrants, are for long-term investment purposes. However, due to their nature, warrants meet the definition of derivatives and are accounted for as held-for-trading securities. The fair value of warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model as at the acquisition date as well as at each period end. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the warrants are included in net income for the period in which they arise.

Investments in publicly traded common shares are classified as available for sale and are measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequent measurement. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the common shares are excluded from net income and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) until such gains or losses are realized or an other-than-temporary impairment has been determined to have occurred. As of December 31, 2010, none of the shares held by the Company was over 10% of the respective outstanding shares of investees.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 (for three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 - $nil), the Company disposed of certain investments in common shares for $1,113 with a gain of $366 recorded.

The common shares were valued at $6.876 per share, using the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the two trading days before and two trading days after.

The increase of the Company’s ownership in Henan Huawei from 70% to 80% has been accounted for using the purchase method. The allocation of the purchase cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon estimated fair values at the time of acquisition.

The preliminary assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Company’s 10% increase in the ownership of Henan Huawei are as follows:

Purchase price is comprised of:      
163,916 shares issued at $6.876 per share $ 1,127  
 
Net working capital $ (151 )
Plant and equipment   144  
Mineral rights and properties   1,229  
Asset retirement obligations   (95 )
  $ 1,127  

As at December 31, 2010, the non-controlling interests in Henan Found, Henan Huawei, Qinghai Found and Guangdong Found were 22.5%, 20%, 18% and 5%, respectively (March 31, 2010 – 22.5%, 30%, 18% and 5%, respectively).

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company undertakes transactions in various foreign currencies, and reports results of its operations in US dollars while the Canadian dollar is considered as its functional currency. The Company is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the translation of functional currency to reporting currency.

The Company conducts its mining operations in China and thereby the majority of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB¥, which was tied to the US Dollar until July 2005, and is now tied to a basket of currencies of China’s largest trading partners. The RMB¥ is not a freely convertible currency.

The Company currently does not engage in foreign currency hedging, and the exposure of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities to foreign exchange risk is summarized as follows:

The amounts are expressed in US$ equivalents   December 31, 2010     March 31, 2010  
Canadian dollars $ 85,993   $ 27,125  
United States dollars   90,679     29,808  
Chinese renminbi   85,650     48,173  
Hong Kong dollars   -     1  
Total financial assets $ 262,322   $ 105,107  
 
Canadian dollars $ 5,559   $ 3,799  
United States dollars   -     5  
Chinese renminbi   16,284     15,140  
Total financial liabilities $ 21,843   $ 18,944  

As at December 31, 2010, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the Chinese RMB¥ against the Canadian dollar would have increased (decreased) net income by approximately $0.03 million and increased (decreased) other comprehensive income by $0.6 million.

As at December 31, 2010, with other variables unchanged, a 1% strengthening (weakening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $0.9 million and would have increased (decreased) other comprehensive income by approximately $2.4 million.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents and short term investments primarily includes highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates that are fixed to maturity or at variable interest rates. Because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have significant impact on the fair values of the financial instruments as of December 31, 2010.

(e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily associated to accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company undertakes credit evaluations on counterparties as necessary and has monitoring processes intended to mitigate credit risks. The Company has accounts receivables from three major customers primarily in China engaged in the mining and milling of base and polymetallic metals industry. The historic level of customer defaults is zero and the aging of accounts receivable is less than 90 days, and, as a result, the credit risk associated with accounts receivable from customers at December 31, 2010 is considered to be immaterial.

(f) Equity price risk

The Company holds certain marketable securities that will fluctuate in value as a result of trading on Canadian financial markets. Furthermore, as the Company’s marketable securities are also common shares of mining companies, market values will fluctuate as commodity prices change. Based upon the Company’s portfolio at December 31, 2010, a 10% increase (decrease) in the market price of the securities held, ignoring any foreign currency risk, would have resulted in an increase (decrease) to other comprehensive income of approximately $1.6 million.
