NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009 (Unaudited) |
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
First Majestic Silver Corp. (the Company or First Majestic) is in the business of production, development, exploration, and acquisition of mineral properties with a focus on silver in Mexico. The Companys shares and warrants trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols FR and FR.WT.B, respectively.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These interim financial statements do not contain all the information required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: Corporación First Majestic, S.A. de C.V. (CFM), First Silver Reserve Inc. (First Silver) and Normabec Mining Resources Ltd. (Normabec) as well as its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Majestic Plata, S.A. de C.V. (First Majestic Plata), Minera El Pilon, S.A. de C.V. (El Pilon), Minera La Encantada, S.A. de C.V. (La Encantada), Majestic Services S.A. de C.V. (Majestic Services), Minera Real Bonanza, S.A. de C.V. (MRB) and Servicios Minero-Metalurgicos e Industriales, S.A. de C.V. (Servicios). First Silver underwent a wind up and distribution of its assets and liabilities to the Company in December 2007 but First Silver has not been dissolved for legal purposes pending the outcome of litigation described in Note 8. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Change in Accounting Policy and Future Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations, Consolidations and Non-controlling
interests
The CICA has approved new Handbook Section 1582, Business
Combinations, Section 1601 Consolidations and Section 1602 Non-controlling
Interests to harmonize with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS). These new sections will be effective for years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Section 1582 specifies a number
of changes including: an expanded definition of a business, a requirement to
measure all business acquisitions at fair value, a requirement to measure
non-controlling interests at fair value, and a requirement to recognize
acquisition related costs as expenses. Section 1601 establishes the standards
for preparing consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 specifies that
non-controlling interests be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a
liability or other item outside of equity. The Company has adopted these new
standards effective January 1, 2010 and it has not had a material impact on the
Company.
International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS)
In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB)
published a strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting
requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines
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 public companies to commence using IFRS, replacing Canadas own GAAP. The
transition date is January 1, 2011, and relates to interim and annual financial
statements on or after January 1, 2011. The transition will require the
restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for all
reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2010.

8. VENDOR LIABILITY AND INTEREST AND RESTRICTED CASH
In May 2006, First Majestic acquired control of First Silver Reserve Inc. (First Silver) for $53.4 million. The purchase price was payable in three instalments (50%, 25% and 25%) to the then majority interest shareholder of First Silver (the Majority Shareholder). The first instalment was paid upon closing on May 30, 2006. The second instalment was paid on May 30, 2007. The third and final instalment of $13.3 million due on May 30, 2008 was withheld by the Company.
In November 2007, an action was commenced by the Company and its acquired subsidiary First Silver against the Majority Shareholder (the Defendant) who was previously a director, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Silver. The Company and First Silver allege in their action that, while holding the positions of director, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Majority Shareholder engaged in a course of deceitful and dishonest conduct in breach of his fiduciary and statutory duties owed to First Silver, which resulted in the Majority Shareholder acquiring a mine which was First Silvers right to acquire. Management believes that there are substantial grounds to this claim, however, the outcome of this litigation is not presently determinable. At the present time, the trial is scheduled to commence in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on February 21, 2011.
In March 2008, the Defendant filed a Counterclaim against the Company for unpaid amounts and interest of $14.9 million, and this action was secured by a $14.5 million Letter of Credit posted in Court by First Majestic. The Company recorded these amounts as Restricted Cash as at March 31, 2009. In July 2009, an Order was granted by the Court, with the consent of all parties, under which the Defendant obtained a judgment in the amount of $14.9 million. The Company agreed to pay out $14.3 million from the posted Letter of Credit to the Defendants lawyers trust account (the Trust Funds) in partial payment of the Judgment. The remaining funds from the Letter of Credit were paid out to the Company. The Consent Order requires that the Trust Funds be held in trust pending the outcome of the Companys action. If the trial has not commenced by June 30, 2011, the Trust Funds can be released to the Defendant, unless otherwise ordered by the court. These funds would be accessible to the Company in the event of a favourable outcome to the litigation.

9. DEBT FACILITIES
(a) Pre-Payment Facility
In August 2009, a subsidiary of the parent company entered into an agreement for a six-month pre-payment facility for advances on the sale of lead in its concentrate production. Under the terms of the agreement, US$1.5 million was advanced against the Companys lead concentrate production from the La Parrilla Silver Mine for a period of six months. Interest accrues at an annualized floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus 5%. Interest is payable monthly and the principal amount is repayable in lead concentrate shipments with minimum monthly instalments of US$250,000. The repayment of the credit facility is guaranteed by the parent company.
During 2010, the pre-payment facility was extended for two consecutive six-month periods. As at September 30, 2010, after delivering monthly quotas of lead concentrates and payment of interest charges, the Company had a remaining balance payable on the pre-payment facility of $1,302,089 (US$1,250,000).
(b) FIFOMI Loan Facilities
In October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the Mexican Mining Development Trust - Fideicomiso de Fomento Minero (FIFOMI) for two loan facilities, a capital asset loan and a working capital loan, totalling $4.3 million (53.8 million Mexican pesos). Funds from these loans were used for the completion of the 3,500 tonnes per day cyanidation plant at the La Encantada Silver Mine and for working capital purposes. The capital asset loan, for up to $3.7 million (47.1 million Mexican pesos), had interest at the Mexican interbank rate (4.5%) plus 7.51% per annum and was repayable over a 60-month period. The working capital loan, for up to $0.6 million (6.7 million Mexican pesos), had interest at the Mexican interbank rate plus 7.31% per annum and was a 90-day revolving loan. The loans were secured against real property, land, buildings, facilities, machinery and equipment at the La Encantada Silver Mine.
During the quarter ended September 2010, the Company repaid $2.7 million of the capital asset loan in advance. At September 30, 2010, the balance owing was reduced to $1.4 million (16.8 million Mexican pesos). In October 2010, the Company also repaid the remaining $1.4 million of FIFOMI loan facilities to completely extinguish the debt. The early repayment has released the Companys security and all guarantees relating to the FIFOMI loans (Note 20(iv)).

11. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
(b) Stock Options (continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted stock options to officers and employees to purchase 560,000 shares (September 30, 2009 1,347,500 shares) of the Company. Pursuant to the Companys policy of accounting for the fair value of stock-based compensation over the applicable vesting period, the fair value of stock options granted during the nine month period was $843,000 of which $390,457 was expensed in the current period and $452,543 will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of the stock options.
The weighted average fair value of each stock option granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.51 (2009 - $0.97) . The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:
Nine Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||
September 30, 2010 | September 30, 2009 | |||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.4% | 0.9% | ||||
Estimated volatility | 81.7% | 80.6% | ||||
Expected life | 1.5 years | 2.4 years | ||||
Expected dividend yield | 0% | 0% |
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of the above noted estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility of share prices. Changes in these underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, therefore, the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide an accurate measure of the ongoing actual fair value of the Companys stock options.
(c) Share Purchase Warrants
The changes in share purchase warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the year ended December 31, 2009, are as follows:

The warrants were detachable warrants issued in connection with the 8,487,576 unit offering. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (assumptions include a risk free rate of 1.5%, market sector volatility of 35.0%, expected life of 2 years, and expected dividend yield of 0%) and as a result $848,758 was credited to contributed surplus. |

16. OTHER LONG TERM LIABILITIES
In 1992, El Pilon entered into a contract with a Mexican bank, whereby the bank committed to advance cash to El Pilon in exchange for silver to be delivered in future instalments. The bank failed to advance the fully agreed amount, and El Pilon therefore refused to deliver the silver. El Pilon sued the bank for breach of contract. The Company believes it will retain the advance received from the bank, but the ultimate outcome is uncertain. The aggregate potential liability including interest and penalties amounts to $776,191 (December 31, 2009 - $753,657).
In September 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 15 hectares of surface rights at Quebradillas for total consideration of $348,710 (4.2 million Mexican pesos), of which $39,277 (476,000 Mexican pesos) was paid upfront and the remaining $309,433 (3.8 million Mexican pesos) is payable over 25 monthly instalments of $12,377 (150,000 Mexican pesos). At September 30, 2010, the long-term portion of this liability was $167,792.
17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Companys operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
18. COMMITMENTS
The Company is obligated to make certain mining property option payments as described in Note 7, in connection with the acquisition of its mineral property interests.
