FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008

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”, “FR.WT.A” 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. On March 5, 2009, the Company completed a public offering with a syndicate of underwriters who purchased 8,487,576 units at an issue price of $2.50 per unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $21.2 million. Of the Company’s cash balance of $33.1 million, $14.5 million is restricted pending the outcome of the litigation described in Note 9. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent primarily on the price of silver in global commodity markets, and on maintaining sustained, profitable operations and/or obtaining funds from other sources as required for capital developments. If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, then material adjustments would 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”) with respect to the preparation of interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by Canadian GAAP in the preparation of annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. The accounting policies, used in preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, are the same as those described in our most recent annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

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”) and First Silver Reserve Inc. (“First Silver”) 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”) and Majestic Services S.A. de C.V. (“Majestic”). 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 9. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008

3. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The CICA issued the new Handbook Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard also provides guidance for the treatment of preproduction and start-up costs and requires that these costs be expensed as incurred. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009.

The CICA issued the new Handbook Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, Section 1601 “Consolidations” and Section 1602 “Non-controlling Interests” to harmonize with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 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. These new standards become effective beginning on or after January 1, 2011, but early adoption is permitted.

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 for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for all the periods ended after January 1, 2010.

We have begun planning our transition to IFRS but the impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

4. RESTRICTED CASH

On July 22, 2008, the Company secured its outstanding vendor liability (Note 9) by entering into a Letter of Credit facility for $13,940,237, secured by cash and liquid short term investments. The Letter of Credit is revolving with annual expiry on July 22. The cash and short term investments earn market rates of interest from which the 0.5% per annum cost of the Letter of Credit is deducted and the net interest remitted to the Company. In addition, a further $545,522 was paid into the Supreme Court of British Columbia in January 2009 and our Letter of Credit will be amended for a total Restricted Cash balance of $14,485,759. The Restricted Cash is segregated from operating cash as the funds are not accessible by the Company pending the outcome of litigation described in Note 9.

(e) Cuitaboca Silver Project, Sinaloa State

The Cuitaboca Silver Project, located in Sinaloa State , Mexico, consists of an option to acquire a 5,134 hectare land package. This option was acquired in May 2006 through the acquisition of First Silver and its wholly owned subsidiary, El Pilon.

The Company entered into an option agreement in November 2004 with Consorcio Minero Latinamericano, S.A. de C.V., a private Mexican company owned by a former director of First Silver, for the purchase of a 100% interest in seven mining claims covering 3,718 hectares located in Sinaloa State, Mexico. To purchase the claims, the Company needs to pay US$2,500,000 in staged cash payments through November, 2010 (US$925,000 paid as at March 31, 2009). A 2.5% NSR on the claims may be purchased at any time during the term of the agreement or for a period of 12 months thereafter for an additional US$500,000.

9. VENDOR LIABILITY AND INTEREST

In May 2006, First Majestic acquired control of First Silver Reserve Inc. (“First Silver”) for $53,365,519. The purchase price was payable to the majority shareholder of First Silver (the “Majority Shareholder”) in three instalments. The first instalment of $26,682,759, for 50% of the purchase price, was paid upon closing on May 30, 2006. An additional 25% instalment of $13,341,380 was paid on May 30, 2007, the first anniversary of the closing. The final 25% instalment of $13,341,380 was due on May 30, 2008, the second anniversary of the closing of the acquisition. Simple interest at 6% per annum is payable quarterly on the outstanding vendor balance.

In November 2007, an action was commenced by the Company and First Silver against the Majority Shareholder who previously was a director, President & Chief Executive Officer of First Silver, and a company he controls. The Company and First Silver allege 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.

Pending resolution of the litigation set out above, the Company has withheld payments of interest due to the previous Majority Shareholder on scheduled interest payment dates of November 30, 2007, February 29, 2008 and May 30, 2008. The Company is withholding payment of the final instalment of $13,341,380 due May 30, 2008 and the above mentioned interest payments, an amount totalling $13,940,237.

In January 2009, a further $545,522 was paid into the Supreme Court of British Columbia for additional interest payments and will be added to the Letter of Credit posted to the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

On March 14, 2008, a statement of defence and counter-claim was filed by the Majority Shareholder regarding the action commenced by the Company. Pursuant to the counterclaim, a claim has been made for payment of an aggregate of $598,857 in respect of interest payments due under the share purchase agreement dated April 3, 2006, which the Company has withheld under such agreement. The Majority Shareholder further claims unquantified damages, costs and interest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, no stock options were granted to directors, officers and employees.

The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions:

    Three Months ended     Year ended  
    March 31, 2009     December 31, 2008  
Risk-free interest rate   2.4%     2.4%  
Estimated volatility   64.9%     64.9%

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 a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

Under the terms of the plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), First Majestic acquired the remaining First Silver shares in consideration for either: (i) the issuance of one common share of First Majestic for each two First Silver shares acquired; or (ii) a cash payment of $2.165 per share of First Silver.
