Silver Standard Resources Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated - unaudited)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS

	Silver Standard Resources Inc. (the “Company”) is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and its shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NASDAQ in the United States. The Company together with its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the exploration, development and production of silver-dominant resource properties located primarily in the Americas. The Company is the ultimate parent of the Group.

	The Company's address is Suite 1400, 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2W2.

	The Company strategic focus is on optimizing the production of silver from its Pirquitas mine in Argentina, and on advancing other principal development and exploration projects including San Luis in Peru, Diablillos in Argentina, and Pitarrilla, Nazas and San Agustin in Mexico. In addition to its principal projects, the Company holds a geologically-diverse portfolio of other predominantly silver projects in various stages of exploration.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

	a) Basis of preparation and adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

	The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company commenced reporting on this basis in its 2011 interim consolidated financial statements. In the financial statements, the term Canadian GAAP refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of IFRS.

	These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and IFRS 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. The impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company's reported equity as at June 30, 2010 and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is provided in note 17. This note also includes the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.


	The policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 10, 2011, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 could result in restatement of these interim consolidated financial statements, including the transition adjustments recognised on change-over to IFRS.

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated - unaudited)

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Cont’d)

	The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Canadian GAAP annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the Company's interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial statements.

Future accounting changes

On May 12, 2011 the IASB issued the following statements:

	i.	IFRS 10,Consolidation(“IFRS 10”) (see further details below)

	ii.	IFRS 11Joint Venture(“IFRS 11”) ( see further details below)

	iii.	IFRS 12Disclosures of Involvement with Other Entities(“IFRS 12”) (see further details below)

	iv.	IAS 27Separate Financial Statement(revised 2011) (“IAS 27”), has been amended for issuance of IFRS 10 while maintaining the current guidance for separate financial statements

	v.	IAS 28Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures(revised 2011) (“IAS 28”), has been amended for conforming changes based on the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

Each of these standards has an effective date for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Early adoption of any of these standards is permitted only if the other standards are also adopted early.

	i.	IFRS 10 establishes control as the single basis for consolidation of entities, regardless of the nature of the investee. An entity has control over an investee when it has power over it; it is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect those returns. IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27's guidance that addresses when and how an investor should prepare consolidated financial statements and replaces all of SIC-12. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

	ii.	IFRS 11 requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the assets and the obligations for the liabilities. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The determination whether a joint arrangement constitutes a joint operation or a joint venture is based on the parties' rights and responsibilities under the arrangement and thus the existence of a separate legal vehicle is no longer the main factor in making such determination. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting thereby eliminating the option available under existing IFRS to use either the proportionate consolidation method or the equity method. Joint operations are accounted for by a venturer by recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operation. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

	iii.	IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures relating to an entity's interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. An entity is required to disclose information that enable users of its financial statements to assess the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Cont’d)

	IFRS 13Fair Value Measurement(“IFRS 13”) was issued on May 12, 2011 and establishes a single framework for measuring fair value where it is required by other standards. IFRS 13 applies to all transactions (whether financial or non-financial) for which IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements, with the exception of share-based payment transactions accounted for under IFRS 2Share-based Paymentand leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 12Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value such as net realisable value under IAS 2Inventoriesor value in use under IAS 36Impairment of assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price).

	This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the standard or determined whether it will adopt the standard early.

^(a)

The Company received a $9,980,000 (C$10,000,000) convertible debenture with a coupon rate of 3% per annum from Aurcana Corporation (“Aurcana”) as part of the consideration received for the sale of the Shafter Silver property in 2008. The convertible debenture was repayable on July 15, 2011. In 2009 the coupon rate on the debenture was revised from 3% per year to 1.5% in the first year and 4% per year thereafter, which resulted in an impairment of $2,002,000 during that year. On March 25, 2011 the terms of the convertible debenture receivable were renegotiated so that Aurcana was required to pay C$7 million on July 15, 2011 and the remaining C$3 million in quarterly instalments until July 15, 2012. The interest rate for the remainder of the arrangement was increased to 9%. This resulted in a recovery of the previous impairment of $2,400,000 which was recorded within other income (expenses) (note 12) and the reclassification of $8.6 million to current assets. On July 15, 2011, the Company received a payment for C$7.4 million from Aurcana of which C$7 million was applied to reduce the principal outstanding as per the March 25, 2011 amended terms and C$ 0.4 million was in respect of the interest earned to July 15, 2011.

The non-controlling interest recorded at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 results from the consolidation of the Reliant Ventures S.A.C in 2007 for the San Luis property in Peru, following the Company taking control of the project. At June 30, 2011 the Company had a 70% interest in the project, and on July 28, 2011 the Company closed the agreement to acquire the remaining 30% interest in the San Luis project from its joint venture partner, Esperanza Resources Corp. (“Esperanza”). The Company paid consideration of C$17 million in cash and transferred to Esperanza the 6.459 million shares of Esperanza that it owned. In addition, under the terms of the agreement the Company will provide a 1% net smelter return royalty on future production.

In February 2010 the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Silvertip property located in British Columbia, Canada to Silvercorp Metals Inc. (“Silvercorp”). Under the terms of the agreement, Silvercorp paid total consideration of $14,957,000, comprising cash of $7,125,000 and 1,200,000 common shares of Silvercorp with a fair value of $7,832,000, for an after tax gain of $13,073,000.

Pretium Resources Inc.	Common shares	145,301	187,202
	Convertible note	-	39,069
		145,301	226,271

On December 21, 2010 the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Snowfield and Brucejack properties located in British Columbia, Canada, to Pretium Resources Inc. (“Pretium”). Total consideration was $442,260,000 (C$450,000,000) which comprised 32,537,833 common shares of Pretium, with a fair value of $191,869,000, cash of $211,322,000 (before underwriters' fees of $12,427,000), and a non-interest bearing promissory note in the principal amount of $39,069,000.

As at December 31, 2010 the convertible note was included in carrying value of the investment in Pretium as this most accurately reflected the substance of the arrangement. The note was partially repaid on January 6, 2011 whereby the Company received proceeds of $18,083,000 and on January 31, 2011 the balance of the note $20,986,000 was converted into 3,625,000 common shares of Pretium with a fair value of $22,946,000 resulting in a gain on settlement of $1,092,000. Total transaction costs of $1,631,000 were expensed in the period, and together with the gain on settlement of the note these were presented within the gain (loss) on sale of mineral property in the income statement as they are all interrelated with the original sale transaction.

On April 8, 2011 the Company sold 11.5 million units in relation to the shares of Pretium it owns. Each unit contained one common share of Pretium and half of a warrant to acquire an additional common share of Pretium for C$12.50 within 12 months and was priced at C$10.00. The Company received cash proceeds of $120,117,000 before transaction costs of $7,244,000. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a gain on partial disposal of associate of $39,266,000 (after tax gain $34,687,000). The warrants issued are recognized at fair value and recorded as a liability (note 6).

Following the closing of the secondary offering the Company's ownership interest in Pretium was approximately 28.86% . The investment is accounted for as an equity investment.

The carrying amount of the investment in associate represents the fair value at initial recognition, plus the Company's share of comprehensive income or loss. Share of loss of associate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,705,000 (2010: $nil) and $3,992,000 (2010: $nil).

6.	WARRANT LIABILITY

On April 8, 2011 as part of the unit offering (note 5) the Company issued 5,750,000 common share purchase warrants of Pretium shares owned by the Company. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of C$12.50 for a period of 12 months. The Company initially recognized a warrant liability of $7,500,000, transaction costs of $453,000 were expensed, and this liability is recorded at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an unrealized gain upon re-measurement of the liability of $2,060,000.

7.	DEFERRED INCOME TAX

	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

	The deferred income tax asset of $15,451,000 as at June 30, 2011 relates to property, plant and equipment and has been recognized only to the extent we believe it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

8.	CONVERTIBLE NOTES

	In February 2008, the Company sold $138,000,000 in senior convertible unsecured notes (“Notes”) for net proceeds of $132,754,000 after payment of commissions and expenses related to the offering. The unsecured Notes mature on March 1, 2028 and bear an interest rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semi-annually. At initial recognition the value of the notes was allocated between the debt and the derivative components. The fair value of the debt portion was $99,144,000 and the fair value of the derivative was $38,856,000 upon inception. The debt component continues to be accreted to its maturity value using the effective interest rate method.

	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on the derivative of $10,778,600 (2010: $3,201,600) and $6,334,000 (2010: $12,420,000). The following assumptions were used to obtain the valuation:

		June 30
		2011
Expected dividend yield (%)		0%
Average risk-free interest rate (%)		4.09
Expected life (years)		17
Expected volatility (%)		57.5
Implied yield on straight debt (%)		9.34

9.	SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

a)Share capital

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company closed a public share offering of 6,729,000 common shares at a price of $17.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $114,389,000. After deducting underwriting fees and estimated offering expenses of $6,479,000, net proceeds were approximately $107,910,000.

b)Share-based compensation

The Company has an incentive plan, approved by the Company's shareholders at its annual general meeting held on May 14, 2008 and amended on May 11, 2011, under which options to purchase common shares may be granted to directors, officers, employees and others at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The plan provides for the issuance of incentive options to acquire up to a total of 8.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company. The exercise price of each option is set at the date of grant and shall not be less than the closing market price of the company's stock on the award date.

9.	SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION(Cont’d)

The options can be granted for a maximum term of 7 years with vesting provisions determined by the Board of Directors. Currently, the vesting periods range up to three years. New shares from treasury are issued on the exercise of stock options.

The Company also has plans for deferred share units (“DSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”).

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 358,500 options were granted to employees exercisable over a 7 year period at a weighted average exercise price of C$27.08 and average fair value of C$12.39. The option valuations were based on an average expected option life of 4.6 years, a risk free interest rate of 2.4%, a dividend yield of nil and an expected volatility of 55%. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 50,000 options were granted to an employee exercisable over a 10 year period at a strike price of C$18.99 and average fair value of C$9.77. 688,625 options were exercised during the period ended June 30, 2011 at a weighted average exercise price of C$18.95.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 10,012 (2010: 20,095) DSUs were granted to non-executive directors, 74,800 RSUs were granted to employees, and 141,800 PSUs to senior executives.

The DSUs vest immediately and are redeemable in cash on the date the non-executive director ceases to be a director of the company. At June 30, 2011, there were 100,373 DSUs (2010: 89,202) outstanding with a fair value of $2,682,000 (2010: $1,429,000).

The RSUs vest over a three year period, and are cash-settled immediately upon vesting. At June 30, 2011, there were 69,300 RSUs outstanding with a fair value of C$25.77. The PSUs vest after a performance period of two to three years; the vesting of the award is based on the Company's total shareholder return in comparison to its peer group, and awards range from 0% to 200% of initial PSUs granted. At June 30, 2011, there were 127,700 PSUs outstanding with fair values ranging from C$29.04 to C$31.59.

The stock based compensation expense, including all equity and cash-settled arrangements, recorded for the six months period ended June 30, 2011 was $3,498,000 (June 30, 2010: $ 3,817,000) of which $89,000 (June 30, 2010: $206,000) was capitalized to exploration and development expenditures.

	31,433	15,764	63,627	43,889

	⁽¹⁾	The Pirquitas mine has a fiscal stability agreement with the government of Argentina dating from 1998. In 2002, the government of Argentina implemented an export duty on concentrates that did not apply to companies with pre - existing fiscal stability agreements. In December 2007 the National Customs Authority of Argentina levied an export duty of approximately 10% on concentrates for projects with fiscal stability agreements predating 2002. The Company has been advised that the project is subject to this export duty despite rights under the fiscal stability agreement from 1998. The legality of the export duty has been challenged and is currently under review by the court in Argentina. In July 2010, the Company filed a claim in provincial Argentina court for repayment of export duties paid to date and for an order to cease payment of the export duty until the matter is decided by the court. An order was granted effective September 29, 2010 to cease payment of the export duty pending the decision of the courts, and in April 2011 a government appeal against this order was denied.

		As of June 30, 2011 the Pirquitas mine has paid $6,646,000 in duties, however despite the order to cease payment the Company has continued to accrue duties in full until the outcome of the claim is known with certainty. At June 30, 2011 the accrual totalled $12,674,000 million, and $9,449,000 million has been included in cost if sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011. If these duties are recovered the benefit will be recognized in the statement of earnings for the full amount in the period recovery becomes virtually certain.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has identifed its operating segments based on the information used by the President and Chief Executive Officer (who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)) to manage the business. The Company primarily manages its business by looking at individual extractive projects and typically segregates them between production, development and exploration. For reporting purposes all exploration and development projects have been aggregated into a single reportable segment 'exploration and development' because they all have similar characteristics and none exceed the quantitative thresholds for individual disclosure. The only production property, Pirquitas, is considered a single operating segment which derives its revenues from the sale of silver and zinc concentrate. The corporate division only earns income that is considered incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment.

TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

	c)	Explanations of the key differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS giving rise to adjustments in the reconciliations

		(i) Valuation of the Pirquitas mine

		The Company elected under IFRS 1 to deem the fair value of the Pirquitas mine as cost at January 1, 2010. The fair value of the mine was determined to be approximately US$317 million following a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate of 10%. The resulting difference between the carrying value under Canadian GAAP and the deemed cost was charged to accumulated deficit.

		In addition to the adjustment to the carrying value of the Pirquitas mine additional adjustments following the transition to IFRS were recorded. These relate to close down and restoration provisions for $720,000, capitalized interest $797,000 and deferred tax liabilities $20,262,000. The impacts of these adjustments on the carrying value of the Pirquitas mine at January 1, 2010 are detailed below:

	Canadian GAAP	Transition to IFRS adjustment						IFRS

		Fair value as		Close down	Capitalised
		deemed cost of		and restoration	borrowing	Deferred
	January 1, 2010	Pirquitas		provision	costs	taxes		January 1, 2010
		(i)		(ii)	(vi)	(vii)
	$	$		$	$	$		$
Producing properties	180,018	(84,018	)	313	797	(20,262	)	76,850
Construction in progress	8,015							8,015
Mining equipment	12,478							12,478
Plant and equipment	219,305			407				219,712
Other	222							222
Total	420,039	(84,018	)	720	797	(20,262	)	317,278

The lower carrying value of the producing property balance under IFRS also impacts the periodic depletion expense charged. Depletion is charged using the percentage of completion method based on the tonnage of ore mined as a ratio to the total ore expected to be mined over the life of the mine. The lower cost base of the asset has reduced depletion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010;

(ii) Close down and restoration provision

Under Canadian GAAP assetretirement obligations for close down and decommissioning costs are measured at the initial date of recognition using a discounted cash flow analysis with the Company's credit-adjusted risk free interest rate. The liability (and corresponding asset) is only re-measured in the event of changes in the amount or timing of cash flows required to settle the obligation.

IFRS (IAS 37) requires initial measurement of the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risk associated with the liability; furthermore the liability is required to be re-measured at each reporting date.

The Company elected to use the IFRS 1 transition exemption from full retrospective adjustment that would have been required under IFRIC 1.

For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010 no adjustment was recorded as it was insignificant.

(iii) Share-based compensation

The Company's accounting policy for share based compensation under Canadian GAAP was broadly consistent with the requirements of IFRS, however, under IFRS 2 the Company is required to make adjustments to the compensation expense recorded for estimates of non-market vesting conditions, such as options that are not expected to vest i.e. forfeited. The initial estimation of non-market vesting conditions is not mandatory under Canadian GAAP. As a result the Company's accounting policy choice was to make adjustments only when events occurred so that non-market vesting conditions were not met, such as when options were forfeited. The Company elected to apply the IFRS 1 transition exemption, whereby adjustments were only required to be made to options that had been granted after November 7, 2002 and had not vested at the date of transition to IFRS.

The Company estimated the amount of options that would not vest by using historical data, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 the impact was a reduction to stock based compensation of $227,000 and $626,000 of which $213,000 and $585,000 was credited to the income statement and the balance of $14,000 and $41,000 was credited to mineral properties.

(iv) Functional currency and cumulative translation adjustment account

Under Canadian GAAP the Company determines whether a subsidiary is an integrated operation or a self-sustaining entity which determines the method of translation into the presentation currency of the Group. IFRS requires that an entity determine the functional currency of each subsidiary individually, prior to consolidation into the Group's presentation currency.

TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS(Cont’d)

The Company determined that certain subsidiaries had a functional currency other than the US dollar, which under Canadian GAAP had been classified as being integrated operations. Those subsidiaries under Canadian GAAP were consolidated using the temporal method (i.e. monetary assets and liabilities translated at the current rate and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historic exchange rates with gains or losses being charged to income), whereas under IFRS those entities with non US dollar functional currencies are translated into US dollars using the current rate method (whereby all assets and liabilities are translated using the reporting date exchange rates with any gains or losses being recorded in equity).

For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010 the impact was a decrease in mineral properties of $2,093,000 and $1,339,000.

(v) Convertible notes

The Company issued US$138 million of convertible notes (“Notes”) in 2008. Under Canadian GAAP the Company accounted for the Notes as a split instrument allocating the value of the notes between the debt and equity components. The debt was valued using a discounted cash flow model, with the residual balance being allocated to equity. At initial recognition the transaction costs were allocated to the debt and equity components pro rata. The debt portion was designated as an 'other liability', those transaction costs allocated to the debt were expensed, those allocated to equity were treated as a reduction of the value of the equity component. Subsequently, the difference in carrying value of the debt and its final redemption amount was recognised as accretion expense in the income statement over the period to maturity using the effective interest rate method.

There are two GAAP differences in relation to this instrument. Firstly, under Canadian GAAP the conversion feature is considered to be an equity instrument, but under IFRS it is considered as an embedded derivative liability due to the fact that if the holder elects to exercise their conversion option, the instrument can be cash-settled at the option of the Company. Secondly, under Canadian GAAP the debt component of the instrument was designated as an 'other liability', and it was similarly designated under IFRS. However, under IFRS, transaction costs relating to an instrument that is designated as an „other liability' must be netted against the carrying value of the instrument, whereas under Canadian GAAP the Company made an accounting policy election to expense those costs.

At initial recognition under IFRS, similar to Canadian GAAP, the fair value of the debt component and conversion option were estimated but under IFRS the conversion option was recognised as a derivative liability. Transaction costs incurred were allocated pro rata to the two components, again consistent with Canadian GAAP. For IFRS the debt has been designated as an 'other liability', which means that the instrument is recorded at amortized cost, net of transaction costs. Subsequently, the accounting is the same as Canadian GAAP whereby the instrument is accreted over an expected life of 5 years using the effective interest method.

The accretion expense each reporting period under IFRS is greater than under Canadian GAAP due to the lower value attributed to the debt portion upon initial recognition, due to the fact that transaction costs are netted against the carrying value of the debt. Differences in accretion expense have been charged to accumulated deficit at the date of transition.

Under IFRS the derivative liability is recognised as FVTPL so all transaction costs were expensed and the instrument is re-measured at each reporting period using a binomial tree approach.

(vi) Deferred income tax

Under Canadian GAAP deferred tax liabilities were calculated following the acquisition of various mineral property assets. IFRS does not allow the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences that arise in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the taxable nor accounting profit or loss. As a result deferred tax liabilities recognised on asset acquisitions under Canadian GAAP have been derecognised under IFRS and credited to accumulated deficit.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities of an entity are measured in its functional currency. If an entity's taxable income or loss is determined in a different currency, changes in exchange rate will give rise to a temporary difference that results in a deferred tax asset or liability under IAS 12. Effectively, the carrying value of the non-monetary asset/liability (as measured in the functional currency based on historical exchange rates) is translated from the functional currency to the local currency at the current rate and compared to the tax value in the local currency. The resulting temporary difference (measured in the local currency) is multiplied by the appropriate tax rate to arrive at the deferred tax balance in the local currency. This deferred tax balance is then translated into the functional currency at the current rate and charged/credited to profit or loss.

The above result is different from Canadian GAAP which prohibits the recognition of deferred taxes for temporary differences caused by exchange gains and losses related to foreign non-monetary assets and liabilities that are remeasured into the functional currency using historical exchange rates.

The impact on retained earnings as a result of these differences in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was a reduction of $1,270,000 and $6,820,000 respectively.
