FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS

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 Company’s shares and warrants trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols “FR” and “FR.WT.B”, respectively.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the price of silver in global commodity markets, and on maintaining profitable operations or obtaining sufficient funds from alternative sources as required to augment operations and for ongoing capital developments. If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, material adjustments may be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the balance sheet classifications used.

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 Company’s 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.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline 15 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities expected losses and/or expected residual returns. The Company has determined that it has no VIEs.

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 for the period ended March 31, 2010.

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 Canada’s 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.

The Company has commenced planning its transition to IFRS but the impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined. The Company is continuing its diagnosis and impact assessment of its current accounting policies systems and processes in order to identify differences between current Canadian GAAP and IFRS treatment. The Company will continue to monitor changes in IFRS during implementation process and intends to update the critical accounting policies and procedures to incorporate the changes required by converting to IFRS and the impact of these changes on its financial reporting.

(e) Real de Catorce Silver Project, San Luis Potosi State (continued)

In addition, the Company has agreed to acquire the surface rights forming part of the property, including the buildings located thereon and covering the location of the previous mining operations, in consideration for a single payment of US$1.0 million to be made in December 2010.

The Company has also agreed to make a payment of US$200,000 on December 10, 2010 for all technical and geological information collected over the area. Such payment is not related to the acquisition of the mining concessions or the surface rights and buildings agreement.

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 Silver’s 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 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 Defendant’s lawyer’s 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 Company’s 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, $1.6 million (US$1.5 million) was advanced against the Company’s 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 based on the volume of lead concentrate shipped with minimum monthly instalments of US$250,000 required. The repayment of the credit facility is guaranteed by the parent company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company granted stock options to an officer and an employee to purchase 225,000 shares (three months ended March 31, 2009 – nil) of the Company. Pursuant to the Company’s policy of accounting for the fair value of stock-based compensation over the applicable vesting period, the fair value of stock options granted during this quarter was $348,000, of which $112,115 was expensed in the current period and $235,885 was deferred and will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of the stock options.

11. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
   
(b) Stock Options (continued)

The weighted average fair value of each stock option granted during the past three months was $1.55 (2009 - $nil). The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

    Three Months
  Three Months Ended Ended March 31,
  March 31, 2010 2009
Risk-free interest rate 1.2% 2.4%
Es timated volatility 93.3% 64.9%
Expected life 1.5 years 2.4 years
Expected dividend yield 0% 0%

Option pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility of share prices. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide an accurate measure of the actual fair value of the Company’s stock options.

(c) Share Purchase Warrants

The changes in share purchase warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the year ended December 31, 2009, are as follows:

    Three Months Ended March 31, 2010     Year Ended December 31, 2009

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.

 

(ii)

At March 31, 2010, prior shareholders of First Silver had not yet exchanged 114,254 shares of First Silver, exchangeable for 57,127 shares of First Majestic, resulting in a remaining value of shares to be issued of $276,495.

Any certificate formerly representing First Silver shares not duly surrendered on or prior to September 14, 2012 shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature, including a claim for dividends or other distributions against First Majestic or First Silver by any former First Silver shareholder. After such date, all First Majestic shares to which the former First Silver shareholder was entitled shall be deemed to have been cancelled.

14. CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

In 2007 and 2008, the Company entered into lease commitments with a mining equipment supplier for $14.1 million (US$11.2 million) of equipment to be delivered during 2007 and 2008. The Company committed to pay 35% within 30 days of entering into the leases, 15% on arrival of the equipment, and the remaining 50% in quarterly payments over a period of 24 months from delivery, financed at 9% interest over the term of the lease. On March 13, 2009, the Company executed a restructuring agreement for the balance of $3.6 million (US$2.9 million) payable to the equipment lease vendor, to be paid over 24 monthly payments commencing February 1, 2009 with interest payable at 9% on the outstanding principal balance, secured by a guarantee from the parent company.

On January 12, 2009, the Company executed two additional financing arrangements with an equipment vendor, committing the Company to total payments of approximately $2.6 million (US$2.0 million) representing the purchase price plus interest with terms of 36 monthly lease payments of $48,460 (US$38,420) consisting of principal plus 12.5% interest on outstanding balances and 12 monthly lease payments of $43,640 (US$34,600) consisting of principal only.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under the capital leases as at March 31, 2010:

15. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS (continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reassessed its reclamation obligations at each of its mines based on updated mine life estimates, rehabilitation and closure plans. The total undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the Company’s estimated obligations is $6.1 million, which has been discounted using a credit adjusted risk free rate of 8.5%, of which $1.7 million of the reclamation obligation relates to the La Parrilla Silver Mine, $2.0 million of the obligation relates to the San Martin Silver Mine, and $2.5 million relates to the La Encantada Silver Mine. The present value of the reclamation liabilities may be subject to change based on management’s current estimates, changes in the remediation technology or changes to the applicable laws and regulations. Such changes will be recorded in the accounts of the Company as they occur.

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 $776,611 (December 31, 2009 - $753,657).

17. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s 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.

The Company has office lease commitments of $116,880 per annum in 2010 through 2011 and $29,220 in 2012. Additional annual operating costs are estimated at $101,110 per year ($8,426 per month) over the term of the lease. The Company provided a deposit of one month of rent equaling $20,151.

As at March 31, 2010, the Company is committed to construction contracts of approximately $0.8 million (US$0.8 million) (December 31, 2009 - $2.1 million or US$2.0 million) relating to the La Encantada mill expansion project which is currently in the final stage of completion.

As a result of the acquisition of Normabec, the Company is committed to make a US$1.0 million payment in December 2010 to acquire surface rights forming part of the Real de Catorce Project. It is also committed to make a payment of US$200,000 in December 2010 for technical and geological information collected over the Real de Catorce area.

The Company is committed to making severance payments in the amount of approximately $2.0 million, (December 31, 2009 - $1.9 million), subject to certain adjustments, to four officers in the event of a change of control of the Company.
