Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Other information contained in this document has also been prepared by management and is consistent with the data contained in the consolidated financial statements. A system of internal control is maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is accurate and reliable.

The Board’s review is accomplished principally through the audit committee, which is composed of non-executive directors. The audit committee meets periodically with management and the auditors to review financial reporting and control matters.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Goldcorp Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Goldcorp Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows, shareholders’ equity and accumulated other comprehensive income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldcorp Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Sections 1530 — Comprehensive Income, 3251 — Equity, 3855 — Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, 3861 — Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation and 3865 — Hedges, effective January 1, 2007.
On March 10, 2008, we reported separately to the Shareholders of Goldcorp Inc. that we have also audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, consolidated financial statements for the same periods, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles but which excluded the footnote providing a reconciliation of accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and the United States of America as it related to the Company.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Goldcorp Inc is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that:
| i. | | pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions related to and dispositions of Goldcorp’s assets; |
|
| ii. | | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that Goldcorp receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Goldcorp’s directors; and |
|
| iii. | | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Goldcorp assets that could have a material effect on Goldcorp’s financial statements. |
We have excluded from our assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Minera Alumbrera Limited (“Alumbrera”) in which we hold a 37.5% interest because we do not have the ability to dictate or modify controls at this entity and we do not have the ability to assess, in practice, the controls at the entity. Alumbrera constitutes 4% of both net and total assets, 27% of revenues and 35% of net earnings of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Goldcorp’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria set forth inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2007, Goldcorp’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of Goldcorp’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2007, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, Independent Registered Chartered Accountants, as stated in their report which appears on the following page.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Goldcorp Inc.
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Goldcorp Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Minera Alumbrera Limited, (“Alumbrera”) in which it holds a 37.5% interest, because the Company does not have the ability to dictate or modify controls at this entity and does not have the ability to assess, in practice, the controls at the entity. Alumbrera constitutes 4% of both net and total assets, 27% of revenues, and 35% of net earnings of the consolidated financial statement amounts of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Alumbrera. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Sections 1530 — Comprehensive Income, 3251 - - Equity, 3855 — Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, 3861 — Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation and 3865 — Hedges.

interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIE’s are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entity’s expected losses and/or expected residual returns. The Company has determined that none of its equity investments qualify as VIE’s.
| (b) | | Use of estimates |
|
| | | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires that the Company’s management make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
|
| | | Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recoverability of accounts receivable and investments, the quantities of material on leach pads and in circuit, the proven and probable ore reserves and resources and the related depletion and amortization, the estimated tonnes of waste material to be mined and the estimated recoverable tonnes of ore from each mine area, the estimated net realizable value of inventories, the accounting for stock-based compensation, the provision for income and mining taxes and composition of future income and mining tax assets and liabilities, the expected economic lives of and estimated future operating results and net cash flows from mining interests, the anticipated costs of reclamation and closure cost obligations, and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. |
|
| (c) | | Revenue recognition |
|
| | | Revenue from the sale of metals is recognized in the accounts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, collection is reasonably assured and the price is reasonably determinable. Revenue from the sale of metals in concentrate may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays. Adjustments to revenue for metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments are recorded on final settlement. Refining and treatment charges are netted against revenue for sales of metal concentrate. |
|
| (d) | | Investment in joint ventures |
|
| | | The Company conducts a portion of its business through joint ventures under which the joint venture participants are bound by contractual agreements establishing joint control over the venturers. The Company records its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and operating costs of the joint ventures. |
|
| (e) | | Cash and cash equivalents |
|
| | | Cash and cash equivalents include cash, and those short-term money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash with an original term of less than 90 days. |
|
| (f) | | Marketable securities |
|
| | | Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale current assets because the Company does not hold these securities for the purpose of trading. Marketable securities are valued at market value, using quoted market prices, and unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from net income and are included in other comprehensive income until such gains or losses are realized or an other than temporary impairment is determined to have occurred. |
|
| (g) | | Inventories and stockpiled ore |
|
| | | Finished goods, work-in-process, heap leach ore and stockpiled ore are valued at the lower of average production cost or net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of mining interests. Supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or replacement cost. |
|
| | | The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process used at certain of the Company’s mines. Under this method, ore is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution which dissolves the gold |
46 | GOLDCORP
2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | | contained in the ore. The resulting “pregnant” solution is further processed in a plant where the gold is recovered. For accounting purposes, costs are added to ore on leach pads based on current mining and leaching costs, including applicable depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining interests. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces of gold are recovered based on the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad. |
|
| | | Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated from the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tonnes added to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and a recovery percentage (based on ore type). |
|
| (h) | | Mining interests |
|
| | | Mining interests represent capitalized expenditures related to the development of mining properties, related plant and equipment and expenditures related to exploration arising from property acquisitions. Capitalized costs are depreciated and depleted using either a unit-of-sale method over the estimated economic life of the mine to which they relate, or for plant and equipment, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. |
|
| | | The costs associated with mining properties are separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential, and include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties representing the fair value at the time they were acquired. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves assigned through acquisition. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-sale method over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The reserve value is noted as depletable mining properties in Note 10. The resource value represents the property interests that are believed to potentially contain economic mineralized material such as inferred material within pits; measured, indicated, and inferred resources with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proven and probable reserves; and inferred resources in close proximity to proven and probable reserves. Exploration potential represents the estimated mineralized material contained within (i) areas adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization located within the immediate mine area; (ii) areas outside of immediate mine areas that are not part of measured, indicated, or inferred resources; and (iii) greenfields exploration potential that is not associated with any other production, development, or exploration stage property, as described above. Resource value and exploration potential value is noted as non-depletable mining properties in Note 10. At least annually or when otherwise appropriate, and subsequent to its review and evaluation for impairment, value from the non-depletable category is transferred to the depletable category as a result of an analysis of the conversion of resources or exploration potential into reserves. |
|
| | | Costs related to property acquisitions are capitalized until the viability of the mineral property is determined. When it is determined that a property is not economically viable, the capitalized costs are written-off. |
|
| | | Drilling and related costs incurred on sites without an existing mine and on areas outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit which contains proven and probable reserves are exploration expenditures and are expensed as incurred to the date of establishing that property costs are economically recoverable. Further development expenditures, subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability, are capitalized to the property. |
|
| | | Drilling and related costs incurred to define and delineate a mineral deposit that has not been classified as proven and probable reserves at a development stage or production stage mine are capitalized as part of the mineral deposit, in the accounting period when the expenditure is made, when management determines that there is sufficient evidence that the expenditure will result in a future economic benefit to the company. Management evaluates the following criteria in its assessment: |
| • | | Geology: whether or not there is sufficient geologic and economic certainty of being able to convert a residual mineral deposit into a proven and probable reserve at a development stage or production stage mine, based on the known |
GOLDCORP | 47
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | | geologic and metallurgy. A history of conversion of resources to reserves at operating mines to support the likelihood of conversion. |
|
| • | | Scoping: there is a scoping study or preliminary feasibility study that demonstrates the additional resources will generate a positive commercial outcome. Known metallurgy provides a basis for concluding there is a significant likelihood of being able to recoup the incremental costs of extraction and production. |
|
| • | | Accessible facilities: mineral property can be processed economically at accessible mining and processing facilities where applicable. |
|
| • | | Life of Mine Plans: an overall life of mine plan and economic model to support the mine and the economic extraction of resources/reserves exists. A long-term life of mine plan, and supporting geological model identifies the drilling and related development work required to expand or further define the existing ore-body. |
|
| • | | Authorizations: operating permits and feasible environmental programs exist or are obtainable. |
Therefore prior to capitalizing such costs, management determines that the following conditions have been met:
| • | | There is a probable future benefit that will contribute to future cash inflows; |
|
| • | | The Company can obtain the benefit and control access to it; and |
|
| • | | The transaction or event giving rise to the benefit has already occurred. |
Commercial production is deemed to have commenced when management determines that the completion of operational commissioning of major mine and plant components is completed, operating results are being achieved consistently for a period of time and that there are indicators that these operating results will be continued. The Company determines commencement of commercial production based on the following factors which indicate that planned principal operations have commenced. These would include one or more of the following:
| (i) | | A significant portion of plant/mill capacity is achieved; |
|
| (ii) | | A significant portion of available funding is directed towards operating activities; |
|
| (iii) | | A pre-determined, reasonable period of time has passed; or |
|
| (iv) | | A development project significant to the primary business objective of the enterprise has been completed as to significant milestones being achieved. |
Mine development costs incurred to maintain current production are included in operations. The nature of the Company’s mine development costs includes costs related to accessing ore bodies that will be mined within the current production cycle. The costs include the development and access costs (tunneling) of production drifts to develop the ore body in the current production cycle. The distinction when compared with those mining expenditures incurred either to develop new ore bodies or to develop mine areas in advance of current production is mainly the production timeframe of the mining area. For those areas being developed which will be mined in future periods, the costs are capitalized and amortized at such time as the related mining area is mined as compared to current production areas where development costs are expensed as incurred given that the short-term nature of these expenditures matches the benefit of the ore being mined.
Upon sale or abandonment, the cost of the property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation or depletion is removed from the accounts and any associated gains or losses are included in operations.
The Company reviews and evaluates its mining properties for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on expected future production, commodity prices, operating costs and capital costs.

2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| (i) | | Goodwill |
|
| | | Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method whereby assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values as of the date of acquisition and any excess of the purchase price over such fair value is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is identified and allocated to reporting units by preparing estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing this amount to the fair value of assets and liabilities in the reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized. |
|
| | | The Company evaluates, on an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this evaluation, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units that include goodwill and compares those fair values to the reporting units’ carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to operations. Assumptions underlying fair value estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. |
|
| (j) | | Silver interests |
|
| | | Contracts for which settlement is called for in silver, the amount of which is based on production at the mines, are recorded at cost. The cost of this asset is separately allocated to reserves, resources and exploration potential. The value allocated to reserves is depreciated on a unit-of-sale basis over the estimated recoverable reserves at the mine corresponding to the specific contract. |
|
| | | Evaluations of the carrying value of each contract are undertaken in each reporting period to determine if estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying value. Estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are calculated using estimated production, sales prices and purchase costs. If it is determined that the undiscounted future net cash flows from an operation are less than the carrying value then a write-down is recorded with a charge to operations. |
|
| (k) | | Investments |
|
| | | Investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale because the Company does not hold these securities for the purpose of trading for a profit and intends to hold the investments for more than one year. Unrealized holding gains and losses related to available-for-sale investments are excluded from net income and are included in other comprehensive income until such gains or losses are realized or an other than temporary impairment is determined to have occurred. |
|
| | | Warrants held by the Company are for long-term investment purposes, however, due to their nature meet the definition of a derivative and are classified as held-for-trading and marked-to-market on a quarterly basis. Mark-to-market gains and losses relating to the warrants are included in net income in the period they occur. |
|
| | | The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments at the balance sheet date using quoted market prices for available-for-sale securities and a Black-Scholes option pricing model for warrants held. |
|
| (l) | | Income and mining taxes |
|
| | | The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income and mining taxes. Under the liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for tax losses and other deductions carried forward. Upon business acquisitions, the liability method results in a gross up of mining interests to reflect the recognition of the future tax liabilities for the tax effect of such differences. |
|
| | | Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. A reduction in respect of the benefit of a future tax asset (a valuation allowance) is recorded against any future tax asset if it is not more likely than not to be realized. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| (m) | | Reclamation and closure cost obligations |
|
| | | The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These environmental regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. The Company has recorded a liability and corresponding asset for the estimated future cost of reclamation and closure, including site rehabilitation and long-term treatment and monitoring costs, discounted to net present value. However, these estimates are subject to change based on changes in circumstances and any new information that becomes available. |
|
| (n) | | Employee pension plans |
|
| | | The Company has various defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans that provide pension benefits to most of its salaried and hourly employees. The Company does not provide other post-employment benefits such as health care or life insurance. |
|
| | | Pension costs associated with the Company’s required contributions under its defined contribution pension plans are based on a percentage of employees’ salaries and are charged to earnings in the year incurred. |
|
| | | The Company accrues the costs and related obligations associated with its defined benefit pension plans based on actuarial computations using the projected benefit obligation method and management’s best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and other relevant factors. For the purpose of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. Cumulative gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the accrued benefit obligation and the market-related value of plan assets are deferred and amortized over the expected average remaining service life of the plan participants (EARSL), which ranges from 4 to 20 years depending on the plan. Past service costs arising from plan amendments are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over EARSL. |
|
| (o) | | Non-controlling interests |
|
| | | Non-controlling interests exist in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and represent the outside interest’s share of the carrying values of the subsidiaries. When the subsidiary company issues its own shares to outside interests, a dilution gain or loss arises as a result of the difference between the Company’s share of the proceeds and the carrying value of the underlying equity. |
|
| (p) | | Foreign currency translation |
|
| | | Prior to April 1, 2005, the Canadian dollar was determined to be the measurement currency of the Company’s Canadian operations and these operations were translated into United States dollars until this date using the current rate method as follows: all assets and liabilities were translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; all revenue and expense items were translated at the average rate of exchange for the period; and the resulting translation adjustment was recorded as a foreign exchange translation adjustment (“FETA”), a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Subsequent to the change in measurement currency described below, the FETA balance will remain the same until the reporting units that gave rise to the FETA balance are disposed of or retired. |
|
| | | Due to the Wheaton acquisition in 2005(note5(d))and related changes, including holding a greater proportion of the Company’s cash in United States dollars, it was determined that the Unites States dollar would be the reporting and measurement currency of the Company’s Canadian operations as of April 1, 2005, and therefore these operations have been translated using the temporal method from that date onward. All operations outside of Canada apply the United States dollar as their reporting and measurement currency and therefore translate their operating results using the temporal method. Under this method, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date; and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of earnings.

| | | addition, unrealized gains and losses due to movements in exchange rates on cash balances held in foreign currencies are shown separately on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
|
| (q) | | Earnings per share |
|
| | | Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method, in which the assumed proceeds from the potential exercise of those stock options, warrants and restricted share units whose average market price exceeds their average exercise price are used to purchase the Company’s common shares at their average market price for the year. |
|
| (r) | | Stock-based compensation |
|
| | | The Company applies the fair value method of accounting for all stock option awards. Under this method, the Company recognizes a compensation expense for all stock options awarded to employees since January 1, 2003 based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant, which is determined by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the options. Stock options issued to employees before January 1, 2003 were accounted for using the settlement method and accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded for those options. |
|
| (s) | | Financial instruments |
|
| | | The Company’s financial instruments comprise primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, due primarily to their immediate or short-term maturity. Fair values of other financial instruments have been estimated by reference to quoted market prices for actual or similar instruments where available. |
|
| | | Goldcorp uses copper forward contracts to mitigate the risk of copper price changes on copper sales at Alumbrera. These contracts do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and consequently changes in the fair values of these contracts are recorded in earnings in each period. |
|
| | | The Company employs interest rate and Canadian dollar forward and option contracts, from time to time, to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. No contracts were outstanding at the end of the current or comparative period. |
3. | | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| | Accounting Policies Implemented Effective January 1, 2007 |
|
| | On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)’s new Handbook Sections 1530, Comprehensive Income, 3251, Equity, 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, and 3865, Hedges, which address the classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments in the financial statements, the inclusion of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and establish the standards for hedge accounting. As a result of adopting these new standards, the Company recorded a non-cash increase of $12.3 million to opening marketable securities, a non-cash increase of $58.3 million to opening investments, a non-cash increase of $12.5 million to future income tax liability, a non-cash increase of $15.9 million to non-controlling interest, a non-cash pre-tax increase of $54.7 million in accumulated OCI ($42.2 million net of tax) for the change in accounting for financial assets classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value instead of cost, and the retroactive reclassification to accumulated OCI of $101.9 million in cumulative unrealized foreign exchange translation adjustments. |
|
| | Under Section 3855, share purchase warrants held by the Company are classified as derivatives and marked-to-market each reporting period. As a result, the Company realized a non-cash increase of $12.2 million to opening investments, a non-cash |
GOLDCORP | 51
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | decrease of $1.4 million to future income tax liability, a non-cash increase of $2.5 million to non-controlling interests and a non-cash increase of $11.1 million to retained earnings as a one time cumulative effect of a change in accounting policy. |
|
| | In addition, the Company adopted a policy to expense debt financing costs when they are incurred, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of preparation for their intended use or sale, in which case they are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash adjustment to decrease opening retained earnings by $1.5 million to eliminate the opening balance of debt financing fees that were capitalized and amortized under the Company’s previous accounting policy. |
|
| | The adoption of Section 3865 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
| | Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes, which replaces the former Section 1506, also became effective on January 1, 2007. Section 1506 prescribes the criteria for changing accounting policies and the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and corrections of errors. The adoption of Section 1506 did not have a material effect on the Company. |
|
| | In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Committee issued Abstract 160, Stripping Costs Incurred in the Production Phase of a Mining Operation (“EIC-160”). EIC-160 discusses the treatment of costs associated with the activity of removing overburden and other mine waste minerals in the production phase of a mining operation and concludes that such stripping costs should be accounted for according to the benefit received by the entity and recorded as either a component of inventory or a betterment to the mineral property, depending on the benefit received. The implementation of EIC-160, effective January 1, 2007, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
| | Accounting Policies to be Implemented Effective January 1, 2008 |
|
| | Two new Handbook sections, 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, will replace Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation. These new sections incorporate many of the disclosure requirements in the existing section, but place an increased emphasis on disclosure about risk, including both qualitative and quantitative information about the risk exposures arising from financial instruments. |
|
| | Section 1535, Capital Disclosures establishes disclosure requirements about the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, as well as quantitative information about capital. |
|
| | Section 3031, Inventories, which replaces the existing Section 3030, establishes standards for the measurement and disclosure of inventories. The new standard provides more extensive guidance on the determination of cost, including allocation of overhead, requires impairment testing and expands the disclosure requirements. The adoption of Section 3031 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
| | Accounting Policies to be Implemented Effective January 1, 2009 |
|
| | In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. Various changes have been made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The new Section will be applicable to the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new Section on its consolidated financial statements. |

4. | | ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF MINING INTERESTS |
| (a) | | Acquisition of 100% Interest in Porcupine and Musselwhite and Disposition of Interest in La Coipa |
|
| | | On December 21, 2007, Goldcorp acquired Kinross Gold Corporation’s 49% interest in the Porcupine gold mine in northeastern Ontario and its 32% interest in the Musselwhite gold mine in northwestern Ontario in exchange for Goldcorp’s 50% interest in the La Coipa silver-gold mine in Chile and $200 million in cash plus closing adjustments. |
|
| | | The La Coipa operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations in these consolidated financial statements(Note 6), with restatement from May 12, 2006, the date of acquisition(note5(b)). A gain of $46.4 million was recognized on the disposition. |
|
| | | Goldcorp’s interests in Porcupine and Musselwhite are included in these consolidated financial statements at 51% and 68%, respectively, from May 12, 2006 to December 21, 2007 and at 100% subsequent to December 21, 2007. |
|
| | | The acquisition of the remaining interests in Porcupine and Musselwhite was accounted for as a step purchase transaction, with the cost of the acquisition allocated on a preliminary basis as follows: |
| | | | |
Purchase price: | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 206.5 | |
50% interest in La Coipa | | | 100.0 | |
Transaction costs | | | 6.4 | |
|
| | $ | 312.9 | |
|
Net assets acquired: | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 1.7 | |
Non-cash operating working capital | | | 7.6 | |
Mining interests | | | 348.4 | |
Other assets | | | 11.8 | |
Future income tax liabilities | | | (9.5 | ) |
Reclamation and closure cost obligations | | | (46.1 | ) |
Other liabilities | | | (1.0 | ) |
|
| | $ | 312.9 | |
|
| | | Prior to the closing of the above transaction, the Porcupine Joint Venture disposed of a property consisting of a decommissioned mine and mill in Timmins, Ontario. Goldcorp recognized a gain of $10.8 million from the sale of this property. For the purposes of these consolidated statements, the purchase consideration has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on management’s best estimates and taking into account all available information at the time of the transaction, as well as applicable information at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. Goldcorp will continue to review information and perform further analysis with respect to these assets, including an independent valuation, prior to finalizing the allocation of the purchase price in 2008. This process will be performed in accordance with Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 152. Although the results of this review are presently unknown, it may result in a change to the value attributable to tangible assets and future income tax liabilities. |
|
| (b) | | Disposition of Amapari and Peak Mines |
|
| | | During April 2007, Goldcorp closed its transaction to sell the Amapari and Peak mines to Peak Gold in exchange for $200 million in cash and $100 million in share considerations, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $40.2 million ($6.5 million, net of tax). Goldcorp owned approximately 22% of Peak Gold on close of the transaction. The Amapari and Peak mines were not classified as discontinued operations in 2007 as Goldcorp continues to have a significant influence through its equity interest in Peak Gold. |

|
| (c) | | On February 1, 2007, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldcorp completed the sale of other mining interests for cash of $24 million and $2 million in common shares of an investment which had been classified as available for sale. The proceeds received approximated the net book value of the mining interests. |
|
| (d) | | Bermejal Gold Deposit |
|
| | | On March 31, 2005, Goldcorp completed the acquisition of the Bermejal gold deposit in Mexico for cash consideration of $70 million from a joint venture of Industrias Peñoles SA de CV and Newmont Mining Corporation. The Bermejal gold deposit is located two kilometers south of Goldcorp’s Los Filos gold deposit. The Company is developing the two deposits as a single project, the Los Filos project, and a detailed engineering study for the combined project was completed in April, 2006. The Los Filos mine commenced commercial production in January 2008. |
| (a) | | Glamis Gold Ltd |
|
| | | On August 31, 2006, Goldcorp and Glamis Gold Ltd (“Glamis”) announced that their respective boards of directors had agreed to combine Goldcorp and Glamis. The transaction was approved by Glamis shareholders on October 26, 2006 and closed on November 4, 2006. Each Glamis common share was exchanged for 1.69 Goldcorp common shares and C$0.0001 in cash. All outstanding Glamis stock appreciation rights (‘‘SAR’s’’) were exercised by the holders into Glamis shares such that holders of the SAR’s received Goldcorp shares and cash at the same share exchange ratio. Each Glamis stock option, which previously gave the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Glamis when presented for execution, was exchanged for a stock option which gives the holder the right to acquire shares in the common stock of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Glamis common shares for Goldcorp common shares. |
|
| | | The business combination was accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp being identified as the acquirer and Glamis as the acquiree. These consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Glamis since November 4, 2006. |

The price of the Goldcorp common shares was calculated as the average share price of Goldcorp two days before, the day of, and two days after the date of announcement. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. |
|
| | | The allocation of the purchase price was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2007, which resulted in an $837.9 million increase in the amount initially recorded for mining interests, a $524.6 million decrease to goodwill, a $354.7 million increase in future income tax liabilities and a net increase in other balances of $41.4 million. |
|

| (b) | | Placer Dome Inc Mining Assets |
|
| | | On October 30, 2005, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to acquire certain of Placer Dome Inc’s (“Placer Dome”) Canadian and other mining assets and interests upon Barrick’s successful acquisition of Placer Dome. On March 15, 2006, Barrick acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Placer Dome for approximately $10.0 billion in shares and cash. On May 12, 2006, Goldcorp completed the agreement with Barrick for cash of approximately $1.6 billion.

Goldcorp also acquired a 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo gold development project in the Dominican Republic, together with Placer Dome’s interests in its Canadian exploration properties, including the Mount Milligan copper/gold deposit in British Columbia. On July 24, 2006, Goldcorp sold certain of these Canadian exploration interests to Terrane(note18(b)). On December 21, 2007, Goldcorp acquired the remaining 49% and 32% interests in the Porcupine and Musselwhite gold mines and disposed of its interest in the La Coipa silver-gold mine(note4(a)). |
|

| (d) | | Wheaton River Minerals Ltd |
|
| | | In December 2004, Goldcorp and Wheaton announced a proposed transaction which provided for Goldcorp to make a take-over bid for Wheaton on the basis of one Goldcorp share for every four Wheaton shares. |
|
| | | On February 8, 2005, Goldcorp announced a special $0.50 per share cash dividend would be payable to existing Goldcorp shareholders should shareholders approve by majority Goldcorp’s take-over bid for Wheaton and Wheaton shareholders tender the minimum two-thirds bid requirement. The payment of the special dividend also resulted in an adjustment to the exchange ratio of Goldcorp’s outstanding warrants – an increase in entitlement from 2.0 to 2.08 Goldcorp shares per warrant. |
|
| | | On February 10, 2005, at a special meeting, Goldcorp shareholders approved the issuance of additional Goldcorp common shares to effect the acquisition of Wheaton. As of February 14, 2005, the effective date of acquisition, approximately 70% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares were tendered to Goldcorp’s offer, satisfying the minimum two-thirds bid requirement under the terms of the Goldcorp offer. With conditions met, the special $0.50 per share cash dividend, totaling approximately $95 million, was paid on February 28, 2005. |
|
| | | As of March 31, 2005, Goldcorp held approximately 82% of the outstanding Wheaton common shares and by April 15, 2005, 100% had been acquired. In addition, each Wheaton warrant or stock option, which gave the holder the right to acquire common shares of Wheaton, was exchanged for a warrant or stock option of Goldcorp, giving the holder the right to acquire common shares of Goldcorp on the same basis as the exchange of Wheaton common shares for Goldcorp common shares. |
|
| | | This business combination was accounted for as a purchase transaction, with Goldcorp identified as the acquirer and Wheaton as the acquiree. These consolidated financial statements include 82% of Wheaton’s operating results for the period February 15 to April 15, 2005, and 100% of the results thereafter. The allocation of the purchase price of the shares of Wheaton is summarized in the following table: |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
On December 1, 2006, Goldcorp and Glamis were amalgamated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act, Goldcorp placed $65 million in escrow in compliance with the United States Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, following the filing of an Application for Withholding Certificate for Dispositions by Foreign Persons of United States Real Property Interests. These funds were restricted to potentially remit required withholding tax to the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) following the transfer to Goldcorp of all common shares of a former United States subsidiary of Glamis, a United States Real Property Holding Corporation, which was deemed to have been disposed of for United States tax purposes. Under United States income tax statutes, Goldcorp was required to withhold 10% of the deemed sale price of the subsidiary and subsequently remit any amount owing to the IRS within 20 days of the IRS issuing the withholding certificate. On February 21, 2007, the Company received clearance from the IRS that no withholdings taxes were required for this amalgamation.

Work in process
Work-in-process is the stage between the product (gold, silver, and copper) as it sits as a raw material (mined or stockpiled ore), and when it has been converted into the finished product (doré or concentrate).
Heap leach inventory
The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process used at the Marigold and Wharf mines, and at the former Amapari mine(note 4(b)). Under this method, ore is placed on leach pads where it is treated with a chemical solution which dissolves the gold contained in the ore.
Stockpiled ore
The majority of the low-grade stockpiled ore is located at Alumbrera and is forecasted to be drawn down throughout the remainder of the mine life, until 2016. The portion that is to be processed within one year is reflected as a current asset.

The value allocated to reserves is classified as depletable and is depreciated on a units-of-sale basis over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves at the mine. The value associated with resources and exploration potential is the value beyond proven and probable reserves allocated at acquisition and is classified as non-depletable until such time as it is transferred to the depletable category as a result of the conversion of resources or exploration potential into reserves.

(a) | | On December 20, 2007, Silver Wheaton signed a binding letter agreement to purchase between 45% and 90% of the life-of-mine silver to be produced by the Rosemont Copper Project (“Rosemont”), a 100%-owned property of Augusta Resource Corporation (“Augusta”). Augusta must elect the percentage of life-of-mine silver subject to the transaction, which will be between a minimum of 45% and a maximum of 90%, on or before March 31, 2008. Subject to the finalization of the structure of the transaction, including tax considerations, Silver Wheaton will pay an upfront cash payment ranging in value from $135 million to $165 million to acquire 45% of the payable silver, or $240 million to $320 million to acquire 90% of the payable silver, produced for the life-of-mine. The upfront payment will be made on a drawdown basis to fund construction of the mine as construction milestones are achieved. Silver Wheaton will not be required to pay any further ongoing per ounce payments for silver delivered from Rosemont and is not required to fund or contribute to ongoing capital expenditures. Augusta will provide a completion guarantee with certain minimum production criteria by a certain date. The transaction is subject to (a) Augusta receiving all necessary permits to construct and operate a mine in accordance with their August 2007 Rosemont Feasibility Study (the “Feasibility Study”), (b) Augusta having entered into committed arrangements for sufficient financing to construct and operate the mine, and (c) execution by the parties of definitive agreements on or before June 30, 2008 as well as receipt of any required regulatory approvals and third-party consents. |
|
(b) | | On July 24, 2007, Silver Wheaton entered into a transaction to acquire 25% of the silver produced from Goldcorp’s Peñasquito project located in Mexico for the life of mine, for an upfront cash payment of $485 million. In addition, a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of $3.90 and the prevailing market price is due (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2011), for silver delivered under the contract. |
|
| | Silver Wheaton is not required to fund any capital expenditures at Peñasquito, including any expansion scenarios. Goldcorp has provided a completion guarantee to Silver Wheaton that the Peñasquito mine will be constructed with certain minimum production criteria by certain dates. |
|
(c) | | On April 23, 2007, Silver Wheaton entered into an agreement with Hellas Gold S.A., a subsidiary of European Goldfields Ltd., to acquire all of the silver produced from Hellas Gold’s Stratoni mining operations in Greece for the life of mine. Silver Wheaton made an upfront cash payment of $57.5 million. In addition, a per ounce cash payment of the lesser of $3.90 and the prevailing market price is due (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2010), for silver delivered under the contract. |
|
| | During the term of the contract, Silver Wheaton will have a right of first refusal on any future sales of silver streams from any other mine owned or operated by European Goldfields or Hellas Gold. |
|
(d) | | On March 23, 2006, Silver Wheaton entered into a contract with Glencore International AG’s (“Glencore”) to purchase 4.75 million ounces of silver per year for a period of 20 years, based on the production from Glencore’s Yauliyacu mining operations in Peru. The upfront payment was $285 million, comprised of $245 million in cash and a $40 million promissory note, which was paid in full on May 31, 2006. In addition, a cash payment of $3.90 per ounce of silver delivered under the contract is due (subject to an inflationary adjustment commencing in 2009). In the event that silver produced at Yauliyacu in any year totals |

(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | |
| | less than 4.75 million ounces, the amount sold to Silver Wheaton in subsequent years will be increased to make up for the shortfall, so long as production allows. |
|
| | During the term of the contract, Silver Wheaton has a right of first refusal on any future sales of silver streams from the Yauliyacu mine and a right of first offer on future sales of silver streams from any other mine owned by Glencore at the time of the initial transaction. In addition, Silver Wheaton also has an option to extend the 20 year term of the silver purchase agreement in five year increments, on substantially the same terms as the existing agreement, subject to an adjustment related to silver price expectations at the time and other factors. |

2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
Summary of Long-term Debt
(a) | | On May 18, 2007, Goldcorp entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. The credit facility is unsecured and amounts drawn are required to be refinanced or repaid by May 18, 2012. Amounts drawn incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.35% to 0.70% per annum dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio, increasing by an additional 0.05% per annum if the total amount drawn under this facility exceeds $750 million. Undrawn amounts are subject to a 0.08% to 0.175% per annum commitment fee dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio. |
(b) | | On July 24, 2007, Silver Wheaton entered into a credit agreement with Bank of Nova Scotia and BMO Capital Markets, as co-lead arrangers and administrative agents, to borrow $200 million under a non-revolving term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to $300 million under a revolving term loan (the “Revolving Loan”). The Revolving Loan is for a period of seven years and the Term Loan is to be repaid in equal installments over a period of seven years, however, prepayments are allowed at any time. Silver Wheaton has committed to pay down the Revolving Loan, within 61 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, by an amount equal to 90% of the cash flows reported for the quarter. The Revolving Loan can be drawn down at any time to finance acquisitions or investments. In order to fund the acquisition of the Peñasquito silver contract from Goldcorp, the Term Loan was drawn in full and the Revolving Loan was drawn in the amount of $246 million. |
|
| | Amounts drawn incur interest at LIBOR plus 0.875% to 1.75% per annum dependent upon Silver Wheaton’s leverage ratio. Undrawn amounts are subject to a 0.2% to 0.45% per annum commitment fee dependent on Silver Wheaton’s leverage ratio. Both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan are secured against Silver Wheaton’s assets, including Silver Wheaton’s silver interests. Silver Wheaton paid $2.5 million in debt financing costs relating to the credit agreement, which was capitalized to the cost of the Peñasquito contract. During 2007, Silver Wheaton repaid $7.1 million and $19.0 million of the balances outstanding on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan, respectively. |
(c) | | As at December 31, 2006, the Company had a $500 million revolving credit facility, which was required to be refinanced or repaid by July 29, 2010. As at December 31, 2006, this facility was fully drawn. In addition, the Company had two credit facilities comprised of a $550 million bridge facility and a $350 million revolving credit facility. As at December 31, 2006, $290 million of debt was outstanding on the $350 million credit facility and $100 million was outstanding on the bridge facility. All of these facilities were repaid and cancelled on May 18, 2007. |
(d) | | The Company assumed a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and a $45.0 million term loan as a result of the acquisition of Glamis (note 5(a)). As at December 31, 2006, $35 million had been drawn against the revolving facility. The facility was repaid and cancelled on January 19, 2007. The term loan was repaid on December 29, 2006. |
(e) | | Reclamation letters of credit outstanding at the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $230.7 million (2006 — $135.5 million). |

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instrument risk exposure
The Company manages its exposure to financial risks, including commodity risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk, in accordance with its Risk Management Policy. The Risk Management Policy provides a framework for the Company to manage the risks it is exposed to in various markets and to protect itself against adverse price movements. All transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ongoing business; the Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s Board of Directors oversees management’s risk management practices by setting trading parameters and reporting requirements.
The following describes the type of risks that the Company is exposed to and its objectives and policies for managing those risk exposures.
(a) | | Commodity price risk |
|
| | Profitability of the Company depends on metal prices for gold, silver and copper. Gold, silver and copper prices are affected by numerous factors such as the sale or purchase of gold and silver by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuations in the value of the US dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold, silver and copper-producing countries throughout the world. |
|
| | The Company has a policy not to hedge gold sales. Goldcorp has entered into copper hedging instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in copper prices. |
|
(b) | | Foreign exchange risk |
|
| | Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations. Gold, silver and copper are sold in US dollars and the Company’s costs are incurred principally in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Argentine pesos, Guatemalan quetzals and Honduran lempira. The appreciation of non-US dollar currencies against the US dollar can increase the cost of gold, silver and copper production and capital expenditure in US dollar terms. In addition, following the Glamis and Placer acquisitions (Note 5), the Company recorded $3.1 billion of future income tax liabilities on mineral interests which are recorded in local currencies. The future income tax liabilities are monetary items, which are revalued each period end at current exchange rates, with the gain or loss recorded in income in the period. |
|
| | Goldcorp’s Risk Management policy includes hedging to reduce the risk associated with currency fluctuations; however, Goldcorp has not entered into such types of transactions during the current or comparative periods. The Company has assessed this risk and has not presently adopted an active currency hedging program given the correlation between metal prices and the currencies in which the Company operates. In 2007, favourable changes in metal prices have mitigated the adverse effect of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar. |
|
(c) | | Interest rate risk |
|
| | The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding borrowings and short-term investments. Presently, all of the Company’s outstanding borrowings are at floating interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and is comfortable with its exposures given the relatively low short-term US dollar rates. The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company in 2007 on its outstanding borrowings was 5.775%. |
68 | GOLDCORP
2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
(d) | | Credit risk |
|
| | The Company’s financial assets comprise, primarily, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities and investments. Credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables; however, it also arises on cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments. |
|
| | To mitigate exposure to credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments, the Company has established policies to limit the concentration of credit risk, to ensure counterparties demonstrate minimum acceptable credit worthiness, and to ensure liquidity of available funds. |
|
| | The Company closely monitors its financial assets and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. |
|
(e) | | Liquidity risk |
|
| | The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansionary plans. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. Goldcorp has in place a $1.5 billion committed loan facility, of which $855 million was available to be drawn at December 31, 2007. Additionally, Silver Wheaton has in place a $300 million revolving term loan and a $200 million non-revolving term loan, of which $73 million and $7.1 million, respectively, was available to be drawn at December 31, 2007. |
Derivative Instruments
(a) | | Copper forward contracts |
|
| | Commencing in 2006, the Company has entered into copper forward contracts to manage its exposure to copper price volatility. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, and are therefore marked to market at the end of each reporting period, as determined by reference to published copper prices in an active market. |
|
| | At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into 30 million pounds of copper forward contracts on its 2008 production at a blended rate of $2.55 per pound. Additionally, the Company has entered into a zero-cost collar structure whereby puts have been purchased at an average price of $3.26 on 21.8 million pounds and calls sold at an average price of $3.63 on 19.5 million pounds for 2008 production. These contracts are monthly swaps, cash settled, based on the average London Metal Exchange Cash Settlement price for the month. |

|
Non-hedge derivative loss | | $ | 23.5 | | | $ | 4.1 | |
|
(b) | | Embedded derivatives |
|
| | Financial instruments and non-financial contracts may contain embedded derivatives, which are required to be accounted for separately at fair value as derivatives when the risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of their host contract and the host contract is not carried at fair value. The Company regularly assesses its financial instruments and non-financial |

| | contracts to ensure that any embedded derivatives are accounted for in accordance with its policy. There were no embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting at December 31, 2007. |
16. RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE COST OBLIGATIONS
The Company’s asset retirement obligations consist of reclamation and closure costs for both active and inactive mines. The present value of obligations relating to active mines is currently estimated at $138.2 million (2006 — $130.0 million) reflecting payments for approximately the next 100 years. The present value of obligations relating to inactive mines is currently estimated at $129.5 million (2006 — $87.3 million) reflecting payments for approximately the next 100 years. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine facilities, ongoing care and maintenance and other costs.
The liability for reclamation and closure cost obligations at December 31, 2007 is $267.7 million (2006 — $217.3 million). The undiscounted value of this liability is $373.2 million (2006 — $374.2 million). An inflation rate assumption of 2% has been used. An accretion expense component of $10.8 million has been charged to operations in 2007 (2006 — $6.8 million, 2005 — $8.1 million) to reflect an increase in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligation which has been determined using a discount rate of 5%. Changes to the reclamation and closure cost balance during the year are as follows:

17. EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS
Total cash payments for employee pension plans for 2007, consisting of cash contributed by the Company to its funded defined benefit pension plans, cash payments directly to beneficiaries of its unfunded defined benefit pension plans, and cash contributed to its defined contribution plans was $10.0 million (2006 — $4.6 million, 2005 — $0.5 million).
Defined contribution pension plans
The Company has several defined contribution pension plans covering substantially all employees in North America. Under these plans, the Company contributes either a fixed percentage of the employee’s salary or matches a percentage of the employee’s contributions. The employees are able to direct the contributions into a variety of investment funds offered by the plans. The Company’s expense related to these plans was $7.8 million in 2007 (2006 — $3.6 million; 2005 — $0.5 million), included in Operating Expenses and Corporate Administration on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The increased expense in 2007 was the result of the business acquisitions that occurred in 2006.
Defined benefit pension plans
The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its Canadian employees, which were assumed upon the acquisition of the Placer Dome assets(Note5(b))in 2006, and a defined benefit plan for certain of its employees in Mexico.

| | As a result of the Wheaton acquisition on February 14, 2005, Goldcorp acquired Wheaton’s 65% ownership of its subsidiary, Silver Wheaton. This interest decreased to 48% as at December 31, 2007 following the transactions described below. |
| (i) | | On March 30, 2006, Goldcorp and Silver Wheaton amended the silver purchase contract, increasing the minimum number of ounces of silver to be delivered over the 25 year period by 100 million ounces, to 220 million ounces, and waiving any capital expenditure contributions previously required to be paid by Silver Wheaton. In consideration for these |

2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | | amendments, Silver Wheaton issued to Goldcorp 18 million common shares, valued at $115.6 million, and a $20.0 million non-interest bearing promissory note due on March 30, 2007. As a result, at March 30, 2006, Goldcorp owned 62% of Silver Wheaton’s common shares. This transaction resulted in an increase to mining interests of $46.6 million, an increase to future income tax liabilities of $14.3 million, and an increase in non-controlling interests of $32.3 million. |
|
| (ii) | | On April 20, 2006, Silver Wheaton closed a C$200 million public offering of 16.7 million common shares at a price of C$12.00 per share. This transaction resulted in a decrease in Goldcorp’s ownership in Silver Wheaton from 62% to 57%. This dilution of the Company’s interest gave rise to a dilution gain of $61.4 million and an increase in non-controlling interests of $98.1 million. |
|
| (iii) | | On December 7, 2006, Goldcorp completed the sale of 18 million common shares of Silver Wheaton at a price of C$12.70 per share for gross proceeds of $199.1 million. This transaction, which reduced Goldcorp’s interest in Silver Wheaton to 49%, gave rise to a gain on sale of $109.8 million which was recognized in operations in 2006 and an increase in non-controlling interests of $51.9 million. |
|
| (iv) | | Related transactions |
|
| | | Goldcorp’s interest in Silver Wheaton declined marginally during 2007 (to 48%, from 49% in the prior year) as a result of additional issuances of common shares by Silver Wheaton from the exercise of stock options and warrants, which resulted in a dilution gain of $1.1 million being recognized in income in the current year (2006 — dilution gain of $61.4 million, 2005 — $18.7 million) and an increase in non-controlling interests of $9.2 million. The Company continued to consolidate Silver Wheaton in 2007, as it maintained control of Silver Wheaton due to the majority influence it exerted on the board of directors. |
|
| | | During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company sold to Silver Wheaton 6.9 million ounces (2006 — 9.0 million ounces, 2005 — 7.9 million ounces) of silver from a subsidiary at a price of $3.90 per ounce, for total consideration of approximately $27.0 million (2006 — $35.0 million, 2005 — $30.8 million). Silver Wheaton also has an agreement with Goldcorp whereby the Company provides certain management and administrative services at cost. During the year, total management fees paid to the Company were $0.2 million (2006 — $0.2 million, 2005 — $0.4 million). This agreement allows for cancellation with 30 days notice at any time. |
|
| | | During September 2006, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Glamis, Silver Wheaton agreed to waive its right to acquire an interest in any of Glamis’ Mexican projects. In exchange for this waiver, Silver Wheaton received a right of first refusal on future silver production from the Peñasquito Project in Mexico. |
| (i) | | On July 24, 2006, the Company completed the sale of Mt Milligan and certain other Canadian exploration interests to Terrane. Goldcorp acquired these exploration interests from Barrick in May 2006(note5(b)). |
|
| | | In consideration for the exploration properties, the Company received 240 million convertible Series A preferred shares at a price of C$0.50 per share. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares of Terrane at the option of Goldcorp at any time without any further consideration. Upon acquisition, on an as-converted basis, Goldcorp would own an 81% equity interest in Terrane’s issued and outstanding shares. The preferred shares are not entitled to dividends, are non-transferable without the prior written consent of Terrane, are non-redeemable, non-retractable, non-voting and if not previously converted will be automatically converted into common shares on the 20th anniversary of their issuance. |
|
| (ii) | | On November 3, 2006, Terrane issued 13.4 million units in a brokered private placement at a price of C$0.75 per unit for gross proceeds of C$10 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant. As a result of this transaction, Goldcorp’s interest in Terrane, on an as-converted basis, decreased to 77%, resulting in a dilution gain of $2.4 million which has been recognized in operations for the current year and an increase in non-controlling interests of $5.8 million. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| (iii) | | On July 23, 2007, Terrane closed a private placement of 5.6 million shares at a price of C$0.65 per share for gross proceeds of C$3.6 million. On June 21, 2007, Terrane closed a C$25 million public offering of 30.8 million common shares at a price of C$0.65 per share and 6.25 million flow-through shares at a price of C$0.80 per share. These transactions resulted in a decrease in Goldcorp’s ownership in Terrane during the year from 77% to 68%. This dilution of the Company’s interest has given rise to an increase in non-controlling interest of $20.1 million and a dilution gain of $8.9 million. |
19. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At December 31, 2007, the Company had unlimited authorized common shares and 708.4 million common shares outstanding (December 31, 2006 — 703.5 million). Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for movement in capital stock.
(a) | | Share Purchase Warrants |
|
| | On March 21, 2006, the Company proposed the issuance of new common share purchase warrants (“New Warrants”) in exchange for the early exercise of the five existing series of warrants (“Existing Warrants”). On June 9, 2006, over 92% of Existing Warrant holders had exercised their warrants during the early exercise period giving rise to net proceeds of $454.9 million which were subsequently used to pay down credit facilities drawn down to fund the previously completed acquisition of certain assets of Placer Dome from Barrick(note5(b)). Pursuant to this transaction, the remaining Existing Warrant holders had their warrants automatically exchanged, without any further action on the part of the warrant holder (including payment of any consideration), for (i) a fraction of a common share equivalent in value to the intrinsic (in-the-money) value of such Existing Warrant calculated with reference to the price of Goldcorp common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the expiry of the early exercise period, and (ii) one half of the fraction of a New Warrant issued to holders of Existing Warrants who exercised during the early exercise period. |
|
| | Each of the 8.4 million New Warrants issued by the Company entitles the holder to purchase at any time one common share of Goldcorp at an exercise price of C$45.75 until June 9, 2011. The New Warrants trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). |
|
| | All Existing Warrants were de-listed from the TSX and NYSE. |
|
| | As a result of the Virginia acquisition(note5(c)), there were 0.9 million Virginia warrants convertible into 0.3 million Goldcorp shares at an average exercise price of C$4.81. As at December 31, 2006, all Virginia warrants were either exercised or have expired. |
|
(b) | | Stock Options |
|
| | The Company has a 2005 Stock Option Plan which allows for up to 12.5 million stock options, with a maximum exercise period of ten years, to be granted to employees, officers and consultants. Of the 14.0 million stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007, 9.7 million relate to options granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan. |
|
| | The Company granted 3.9 million stock options during the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 — 3.6 million), which vest over a period of two years, are exercisable at prices ranging from $23.06 to $23.68 (C$24.40 to C$25.71) per option, expire in 2017, and have a total fair value of $22.7 million. Stock options, when exercised, result in an increase in the number of common shares issued by the Company. |
|
| | The fair value of the options granted is calculated on the date of grant using an option pricing model with the following weighted average valuation assumptions: |

Compensation expense of $35.1 million has been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 — $21.4 million; 2005 — $13.9 million), of which $28.8 million relates to Goldcorp (2006 — $17.3 million, 2005 — $13.4 million), $2.5 million for Silver Wheaton (2006 — $1.7 million, 2005 — $0.5 million), and $3.8 million for Terrane (2006 — $2.4 million).

|
Differences between Canadian and US GAAP as they affect the Company’s financial statements are as follows:
(a) | | Joint venture interests |
|
| | Under Canadian GAAP, the Company proportionately consolidates its interest in the incorporated joint venture of Alumbrera. The Company’s interest in the La Coipa incorporated joint venture was proportionately consolidated in 2006 but has been reclassified as a discontinued operation in the current period as a result of its sale on December 21, 2007(Note4(a)). Under US GAAP, the Company is required to equity account for these investments and records its proportionate share of their net earnings in earnings of equity investees. Goldcorp’s share of earnings from Alumbrera amounted to $166.4 million in 2007 (2006 — $231.7 million; 2005 — $92.7 million). Goldcorp’s share of earnings from La Coipa amounted to $38.3 million in 2007 (2006 — $7.7 million). |
|
| | In addition, under Canadian GAAP, the Company proportionately consolidates its interests in the unincorporated joint ventures of Marigold, and proportionately consolidated its interests in the Porcupine and Musselwhite unincorporated joint ventures up to December 21, 2007 when a full ownership interest was acquired(Note4(a)). US GAAP allows interests in unincorporated joint ventures in the natural resource industry to be accounted for by proportionate consolidation. |
|
(b) | | Development expenditures applicable to mining properties |
|
| | Under Canadian GAAP, exploration costs incurred to the date of establishing that a property is economically recoverable are charged to operations. Further development expenditures are capitalized to the property. Under US GAAP, exploration costs incurred until the completion of a final feasibility study on the property are charged to operations. Under US GAAP, $79.0 million of such expenditures would be recorded in operations during the period they were incurred, which resulted in a $53.0 million (net of tax of $26.0 million) charge to income during the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 — $16.1 million, net of tax of $8.9 million, 2005 — nil) principally arising from mining expenditures incurred on the Éléonore, Hollinger, Pueblo Viejo, Cerro Blanco and Mt Milligan development projects. |
86 | GOLDCORP
2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| The Company incurred $64.2 million of drilling and related costs during 2007 (2006 — $31.2 million; 2005 — $50.9 million) to convert mineral resources to reserves or to provide greater definition of existing reserves at properties that are either in the production or development stage that were capitalized. The Company acknowledges that there is diversity in interpretation and application of accounting practice within the mining industry with respect to the accounting treatment of such costs, in that some companies expense as incurred, the drilling and related costs incurred to define and delineate residual mineral deposits that have not been classified as proven and probable reserves at a development stage or production stage mine. |
|
(c) | Commencement of production |
|
| Under Canadian GAAP, the Company uses specific criteria to assess the point at which an operation commences commercial production(note 2 (h)). Under US GAAP, the Company determines commencement of production whereby the production phase of a mine is determined to have begun when saleable minerals are extracted (produced) from an ore body, regardless of the level of production. The production phase does not commence with the removal of de minimus saleable mineral material that occurs in conjunction with the removal of overburden or waste material for the purpose of obtaining access to an ore body. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were two Canadian/US GAAP differences with respect to the determination of production as follows: |
| | According to Canadian GAAP, the mine commenced commercial production on January 1, 2008, while for US GAAP purposes, production commenced and associated production costs were expensed beginning on March 1, 2007. The impact of this difference was to increase 2007 net earnings in accordance with US GAAP by $1.7 million and the balance sheet impact was to increase inventories by $26.0 million, decrease mining interests by $23.5 million, decrease income and mining taxes receivable by $0.7 million and increase reclamation and closure cost obligations by $0.1 million as of December 31, 2007. |
| (ii) | | Red Lake underground expansion project |
| | An expansion of the underground mine at Red Lake commenced in 2006. The #3 shaft production hoist and service cage was commissioned during the third quarter of 2007 and waste skipping and personnel movement commenced. However, due to a change in the project scope and the fact that the ventilation system is not yet functional, the shaft was not considered to be in commercial production for purposes of Canadian GAAP. Under US GAAP, once an asset is in operation it is considered to be in use and should be depreciated. The impact of this difference was to increase depreciation expense in accordance with US GAAP by $2.1 million, decrease net earnings by $1.4 million, decrease mining interests by $2.1 million and increase income and mining taxes receivable by $0.7 million as of December 31, 2007. |
|
(d) | Investments in securities |
|
| | Prior to the adoption of the new Canadian accounting standards for financial instruments on January 1, 2007(Note 3), a US and Canadian GAAP difference existed in the accounting for investments in securities, which, under US GAAP (SFAS 115), would have been classified as available-for-sale and trading securities and carried at fair value. The unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities were not recognized under Canadian accounting principles, but were recognized under United States accounting principles as a component of comprehensive income and reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. The unrealized gains on trading securities were also not recognized under Canadian accounting principles, but were recognized under United States accounting principles in net earnings. At December 31, 2006, for US GAAP purposes, the Company’s marketable securities increased by $12.1 million and long-term investments increased by $70.5 million as a result of valuing them at fair value, with an increase in future income tax liabilities of $11.2 million. The amounts recorded in comprehensive income in 2006 were net of tax expense of $8.4 million (2005 — tax recovery of $0.6 million). The amounts recorded in net earnings in 2006 amounted to $8.0 million (net of tax of $1.8 million). The 2006 unrealized holding gain includes $18.4 million related to Silver Wheaton’s non-controlling interests. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
(e) | | Contributed surplus |
|
| | Prior to 2004, under Canadian GAAP the Company used $70.6 million of contributed surplus to eliminate a deficit which is not allowed for under US GAAP. Also prior to 2004, for US GAAP purposes the Company reduced contributed surplus by $56.3 million resulting from the amalgamation with another company. |
|
(f) | | Flow through shares |
|
| | Under US GAAP, the renunciation of tax deductions to holders of flow-through shares is allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits when the shares are offered. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow through shares rather than as a cost of issuing equity as required by Canadian GAAP. |
|
(g) | | Cumulative translation adjustment |
|
| | The change in cumulative translation adjustment is recorded in the calculation of comprehensive income for both Canadian and US GAAP. The Company changed its functional currency to the United States dollar on April 1, 2005. There was no change in the cumulative translation adjustment in 2007 (2006 — nil; 2005 — $5.8 million). |
|
| | Under US GAAP, a proportionate amount of the cumulative translation adjustment account ($3.4 million) is not recognized in earnings when there is a reduction in the Company’s net investment in a subsidiary as a result of dividend distributions. |
|
(h) | | Comprehensive income |
|
| | Under US GAAP, SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is net income, plus certain other items that are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities. A US and Canadian GAAP difference existed prior to the adoption of the new Canadian accounting standard for Comprehensive Income on January 1, 2007(Note 3). |
|
(i) | | Mining taxes |
|
| | Certain changes to income tax legislation affecting mining companies became law in 2003. However, the enabling regulations which quantify the deduction for mining taxes paid permitted by this change in legislation (which was considered to be substantively enacted for Canadian GAAP purposes) did not receive the required approval to be considered enacted for US GAAP purposes until October 4, 2006. Consequently for US GAAP purposes the 2004 and 2005 results were adjusted to remove the benefit accrued for the deduction for income tax purposes of actual provincial and other Crown royalties and mining taxes. As these legislative changes were enacted for US GAAP purposes in 2006, the cumulative adjustment of $7.1 million with respect to these income tax benefits was taken into net earnings in 2006. |
|
(j) | | Stock options |
|
| | The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan(Note19(b)). Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”on a modified prospective basis, and, as a result, prior periods were not restated. The application of FAS 123R to Restricted Share Units did not result in any significant change in the method of accounting for these units. |
|
| | Share-based benefits have been valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for option grants and the grant date fair market value for stock awards. Compensation amounts have been expensed over the applicable vesting period, with the exception noted below. |

2007 Annual Report
(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
| | Stock options issued to employees of foreign operations, with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency or the local currency of the foreign operation, are required to be classified and accounted for as financial liabilities and fair valued each period. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting policy adjustment was recorded as at January 1, 2006, and resulted in a $14.9 million decrease to opening retained earnings, a total increase to derivative liabilities of $23.4 million and a decrease to share capital of $8.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the net effect to US GAAP net earnings of reflecting the mark-to-market impacts related to fair valuation of these stock options, is to reduce net earnings in 2007 by an additional amount of $10.0 million (2006 — $8.0 million) arising from the recognition of a mark-to-market loss on these stock options. On November 4, 2006, the Company re-issued options to certain Glamis employees as part of the acquisition which resulted in the liability relating to stock options increasing by $69.6 million. The liability as at December 31, 2007 relating to stock options issued to employees of the foreign operations totaled $76.3 million (2006 — $100.9 million). Stock options and additional paid in capital was reduced by $3.7 million in 2007 related to the reversal of stock option expense recognized on options issued to foreign operations under Canadian GAAP and by $96.6 million in 2006 relating to the reclassification of $69.5 million to liabilities for new options issued to foreign operations, the reclassification of $18.6 million to common shares on the exercise of options and the cumulative impact of the change in accounting policy of $8.5 million. |
|
| | The total intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007, exclusive of options issued to employees of foreign operations, was $111.1 million and the intrinsic value of options exercisable was $71.5 million. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2007 was $40.0 million. 3.3 million options vested in 2007. |
|
| | As of December 31, 2007 there was $13.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost will be recognized through December 2009. The following summarizes the changes in the Company’s non-vested stock options during 2007: |

|
Unvested stock options at December 31, 2007 | | | 4,637 | | | $ | 6.26 | |
|
(k) | | Deferred stripping costs |
|
| | On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted EITF 04-06, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry”, which differs from the Canadian guidance in EIC-160, “Stripping Costs Incurred in the Production Phase of a Mining Operation”. Under US GAAP capitalized deferred stripping is not permissible, therefore any additions to the deferred strip balance capitalized under Canadian GAAP is charged to cost of sales for US GAAP as gold is produced and sold. The Company adjusted for this difference prospectively, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy being recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as at January 1, 2006. The opening retained earnings adjustment, which impacted Alumbrera only, was $11.1 million (net of a future income tax liability of $4.8 million). For the year ended December 31, 2007, the net effect of expensing the stripping costs for US GAAP is $9.0 million (2006 — $4.3 million), net of a future income tax liability recovery of $3.8 million (2006 — $1.8 million). |

(in United States dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)
(l) | | Share purchase warrants |
|
| | For Canadian GAAP purposes, all of the Company’s outstanding share purchase warrants are classified and accounted for as equity in the Company’s financial statements. In 2006, an interpretation of US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS 133, Accountingfor Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,required that share purchase warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency be classified and accounted for as a financial liability and fair valued. The net effect to US GAAP net earnings of reflecting the mark-to-market impacts related to fair valuation of these series of warrants was to reduce net earnings in 2007 by $66.2 million, net of non-controlling interests of $111.8 million, arising from the recognition of a mark-to-market loss on the share purchase warrants (2006 by — $541.6 million mark-to-market loss, net of non-controlling interests of $68.8 million; 2005 — mark-to-market loss of $418.3 million net of non-controlling interests of $17.2 million). A derivative liability at December 31, 2007 of $572.9 million (2006 — $394.9 million) has been recorded for these warrants. The non-controlling interest share of the warrant derivative liability is $227.0 million (2006 - $115.2 million). The $719.6 million reclassification of warrants from derivative liabilities to common shares and share purchase warrants in 2006 relates to the early exercise of the five existing series of warrants at the time of announcement in March 2006. |
|
| | In addition, in 2006 the Company restated its Goodwill arising from the purchase of Wheaton River in 2005 in the amount of $21.5 million due to the impact of this interpretation on the net asset value of Silver Wheaton, a subsidiary acquired as part of that purchase. |
|
(m) | | Pro forma information on business combinations |
|
| | Under US GAAP, SFAS 141 requires disclosure of certain pro forma information when a business combination is effected. The following table presents the pro forma results of operations for informational purposes, assuming that the Company had acquired Glamis (including the full ownership interest in Porcupine and Musselwhite acquired on December 21, 2007), certain Placer Dome assets, Virginia and Wheaton at the beginning of 2005. |

Revenues | | $ | 1,796.9 | | | $ | 1,578.2 | | | $ | 1,181.4 | |
Net earnings (loss) | | | 323.2 | | | | (204.2 | ) | | | (210.0 | ) |
Pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share | | | 0.46 | | | | 0.29 | | | | 0.30 / 0.29 | |
| | The pro forma results of operations give effect to certain adjustments including the increase in depletion, depreciation and amortization resulting from adjustments to asset carrying values upon acquisition of mine assets. The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated assuming the common shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Glamis, Virginia and Wheaton were issued at the beginning of each year presented. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the future combined results of operations of the Company. |
|
(n) | | Defined benefit pension plans |
|
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Plans and Other Post Retirement Benefits”, which was effective for the Company’s December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan, other than a multi-employer plan, as an asset or liability, with changes in the funded status recognized through comprehensive income. An additional requirement, to measure the funded status of a plan as of the year-end date, is effective for years ending after December 15, 2008. |
|
| | The Company adopted SFAS 158 as at the end of 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |

(o) | | United States accounting pronouncements adopted effective January 1, 2007 |
| (i) | | Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes |
| | In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. |
|
| | The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption did not result in any adjustment to opening retained earnings for purposes of US GAAP. |
|
| | A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: |
| | | | |
Balance at January 1, 2007 | | $ | 134.0 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | | | 20.5 | |
Additions for tax positions of prior years | | | 17.3 | |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | | | (57.9 | ) |
|
Balance at December 31, 2007 | | $ | 113.9 | |
|
| | As at December 31, 2007, the Company had $113.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, $113.9 million of these amounts would be recorded as a benefit to income taxes on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and, therefore, would impact the reported effective tax rate. |
|
| | The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized $5.5 million of interest and penalties (2006 — $1.5 million; 2005 — $0.7 million). The Company had $8.4 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007 (2006 — $2.9 million). |
|
| | The Company is subject to taxes in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and various offshore countries. The tax years which remain subject to examination as of December 31, 2007 are as follows: |
| | | | |
Canada | | | 2000 to 2007 | |
United States | | | 2000 to 2007 | |
Mexico | | | 2002 to 2007 | |
Honduras | | | 2002 to 2007 | |
| (ii) | | Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments |
| | In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB statement 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). This Statement simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial statements by permitting fair value remeasurements for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, and eliminates the restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special — purpose entity (“SPE”) may hold, with any changes in fair value recognized to earnings. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in the first fiscal year beginning after Sept. 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |

| (iii) | | Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities |
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued FSP AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities”, which prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial statements, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of FSP AUG AIR-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
(p) | | United States accounting pronouncements effective on or after January 1, 2008 |
|
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 157-b, which provided for a one-year deferral of the implementation of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities. However, SFAS 157 is still required to be adopted effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value. |
|
| | In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007. |
|
| | In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R) “Business Combinations” and SFAS 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which are both effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R), which will replace FAS 141, is applicable to business combinations consummated after the effective date of December 15, 2008. |
|
| | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the above noted standards on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |
26. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 31, 2008, Goldcorp announced that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, pursuant to which the underwriters agreed to purchase from a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldcorp, on a bought deal basis, 108 million common shares of Silver Wheaton, at a price of $14.50 per common share, for aggregate gross proceeds to Goldcorp of C$1,566.0 million (the “Offering”). The Offering, which closed on February 14, 2008, represents the sale of all of Goldcorp’s remaining interest in Silver Wheaton. It is expected that a minimal gain for accounting purposes will be recorded on this transaction due to the recognition of the cost of delivering silver to Silver Wheaton under the Peñasquito and Luismin silver contracts.
The carrying amounts of Silver Wheaton’s major classes of assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2007 were as follows:
| | | | |
Current assets | | $ | 11.7 | |
Silver interests | | | 385.3 | |
Other long-term assets | | | 121.8 | |
|
| | $ | 518.8 | |
|
Current liabilities | | $ | 34.8 | |
Long-term debt | | | 391.3 | |
|
| | $ | 426.1 | |
