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 Companys 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 Companys
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.
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.
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.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING

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.

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 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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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:
|
|

|
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 Companys stock options.

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.

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 Companys 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
managements 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.

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 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.
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.
