This Form 10-KSB contains "forward-looking statements" relating to Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount” "we", "our", or the "Company") which represent our current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-KSB that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2007. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend and restate the information provided under Item 9(a) of Part II, “Controls and Procedures.” This Amendment No. 1 responds to the comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its review of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
This Amendment No. 1 does not affect the original financial statements or footnotes as originally filed. This Amendment No 1 does not reflect events that have occurred after the original filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB on September 27, 2007 and does not modify or update the disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K in any way.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a result of this Amendment No. 1, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed and furnished respectively, as exhibits to the original filing, have been re-executed and refilled as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 and are included as Exhibits 31.2, 31.2, 32.1and 32.2 hereto.
This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the original filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Annual Report on Form 10-KSB

Item 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
·
provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with management and director authorization; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the company's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There was no change in the company's internal controls that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the company's internal controls over financial reporting.
