What a bunch of noise about nothing from the auditors. The restatement had little effect on the numbers. Trading Symbol TSX-VE: GGC April 18, 2006 Genco Amends Financial Statements April 18, 2006 – Vancouver, B.C., Canada – Wayne Moorhouse, VP Finance for Genco Resources Ltd. [TSX Venture Exchange: GGC], announces Genco has amended its financial statements for the financial periods ending October 31, 2003 through September 30, 2005. The reason for this action was an overstatement of the debt Genco reported relating to the acquisition on August 1, 2003 of La Guitarra Compania Minera S.A. de C.V. (La Guitarra), a company incorporated in Mexico whose assets include an operating mine and mining concessions in the Temascaltepec Mining District of Mexico. Genco acquired La Guitarra for consideration of US $5,000,000. The purchase price was comprised of 1,380,315 common shares of Genco valued at CDN $1,407,921 and US $4,000,000 payable without interest in annual payments of US $500,000 for eight years. The effect of this restatement is to reduce the debt and related assets reported on each balance sheet. The income statements were adjusted by reducing the depreciation on the assets previously reported and adding imputed interest.
