SEC-Required Report on Routing of Customer Orders

Euro Pacific Capital, Inc has prepared this report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring all brokerage firms to make publicly available quarterly reports on their order routing practices. The report provides information on the routing of “non-directed orders” — any order that the customer has not specifically instructed to be routed to a particular venue for execution. For these non-directed orders, Euro Pacific Capital, Inc has selected the execution venue on behalf of its customers.

The report is divided into four sections: one for securities listed on the New York Stock exchange, one for securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, one for securities listed on the American Stock Exchange or regional exchanges, and one for exchange-listed options. For each section, this report identifies the venues most often selected by Euro Pacific Capital, Inc sets forth the percentage of various types of orders routed to the venues, and discusses the material aspects of Euro Pacific Capital, Inc’s relationship with the venues.

Euro Pacific Capital, Inc.'s Anti-Money-Laundering Program

Following the attacks on 11 September 2001, the U.S. government enacted the USA PATRIOT Act, which is designed to prevent the use of the U.S. financial system to help fund terrorism and other crimes. The Act, which is similar to regulations in other countries in which we do business, imposes a series of new anti-money-laundering requirements on brokerage firms and other financial institutions.

Under the USA PATRIOT Act and other regulations, financial services firms must establish a compliance program, which includes policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transactions to the government, as well as ensure compliance with the new laws. Firms must also implement specialized employee training programs, designate a special compliance officer and conduct independent audits of the effectiveness of the compliance program.

All of our employees are being trained in anti-money-laundering practices and procedures, as well as the details of the firm's policies.

The regulations also impose new requirements regarding client information and verification of that information. Financial services firms are required to verify the identity of the clients with whom they do business, determine the source of funds in a client's account and obtain the information about a client's wealth.

At Euro Pacific Capital, Inc, we have always stressed the importance of knowing our clients. This tradition has developed not only from regulatory requirements but also from the belief that the better we know our clients, the better we can serve their financial needs.

As part of our compliance with the new Act and in support of the fight against money laundering around the world, we may ask clients for additional information and documentation about certain accounts and transactions. This information may be used to verify client identity.


Euro Pacific Capital’s Business Continuity Planning Disclosure Statement

Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

I. Emergency Contact Persons
Our firm's two emergency contact persons are: Peter Schiff, 203-662-9700, cell phone: 203-451-4560, pschiff@europac.net and Michael Carroll, 203-662-9700, cell phone: 203-253-7485, mcarroll@europac.net. These names will be updated in the event of a material change, and our Executive Representative will review them within 17 business days of the end of each quarter.

Rule: NASD Rule 3520.

II. Firm Policy
Our firm's policy is to respond to a Significant Business Disruption (SBD) by safeguarding employees' lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, quickly recovering and resuming operations, protecting all of the firm's books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In the event that we determine we are unable to continue our business, we will assure customers prompt access to their funds and securities.

A. Significant Business Disruptions (SBDs)
Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBDs, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only our firm's ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBDs prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a city flood, or a wide-scale, regional disruption. Our response to an external SBD relies more heavily on other organizations and systems, especially on the capabilities of our clearing firm.

B. Approval and Execution Authority
Peter Schiff, President, a registered principal, is responsible for approving the plan and for conducting the required annual review. Peter Schiff has the authority to execute this BCP.

C. Plan Location and Access
Our firm will maintain copies of its BCP plan and the annual reviews, and the changes that have been made to it for inspection. An electronic copy of our plan is located on www.europac.server.net in Michael Carroll Files under: My Documents: Business Continuity Plan.wpd, and with Doug Cooper of CoopLink Computer Support Services.
III. Business Description
Our firm conducts business in primarily international equities. Our firm is an introducing firm and does not perform any type of clearing function for itself or others. Furthermore, we do not hold customer funds or securities. We accept and enter orders. All transactions are sent to our clearing firm, which executes our orders, compares them, allocates them, clears and settles them. Our clearing firm also maintains our customers' accounts, can grant customers access to them, and delivers funds and securities. Our firm services retail and institutional customers. We also offer annuities, mutual funds, fixed income products and private placements.

The firm will make this information available to customers through its disclosure policy.

We will assist SIPC and the trustee by providing our books and records identifying customer accounts subject to SIPC regulation [and insert any additional procedures].

Rules: NASD Rule 3510(a); Securities Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1; 15 U.S.C. 78eee (2003).

VII. Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic)
Our firm maintains its primary hard copy books and records at 10 Corbin Drive, Darien CT 06820; and its electronic records at 4667 MacArthur Blvd., Ste. 450 Newport Beach, CA 92660.

Our firm maintains the following document types and forms that are not transmitted to our clearing firm: New Account Forms and Business Continuity Disclosure Forms.

Our firm maintains its back-up hard copy books and records at 10 Corbin Drive, Suite B, Darien, CT 06820. These records are paper copies and CD Roms. Peter Schiff is responsible for the maintenance of these back-up books and records. Our firm backs up its paper records by copying and taking them to our back-up site. We back up our records every 3 months.

The firm backs up its electronic records by making copies onto CD Rom, and keeps a copy at 10 Corbin Drive, Suite B, Darien, CT 06820.

In the event of an internal or external SBD that causes the loss of our paper records, we will physically recover them from our back-up site. If our primary site is inoperable, we will continue operations from our back-up site or an alternate location. For the loss of electronic records, we will either physically recover the storage media or electronically recover data from our back-up site, or, if our primary site is inoperable, continue operations from our back-up site or an alternate location.

Rule: NASD Rule 3510(c)(1).

VIII. Financial and Operational Assessments
A. Operational Risk
In the event of an SBD, we will immediately identify what means will permit us to communicate with our customers, employees, critical business constituents, critical banks, critical counter-parties, and regulators. Although the effects of an SBD will determine the means of alternative communication, the communications options we will employ will include www.europac.net. In addition, we will retrieve our key activity records as described in the section above, Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic).

Rules: NASD Rules 3510(c)(3) & (f)(2).

B. Financial and Credit RiskIn the event of an SBD, we will determine the value and liquidity of our investments and other assets to evaluate our ability to continue to fund our operations and remain in capital compliance. We will contact our clearing firm, critical banks, and investors to apprise them of our financial status. If we determine that we may be unable to meet our obligations to those counter-parties or otherwise continue to fund our operations, we will request additional financing from our bank or other credit sources to fulfill our obligations to our customers and clients. If we cannot remedy a capital deficiency, we will file appropriate notices with our regulators and immediately take appropriate steps, including funding Net Capital through Mr. Schiff's Brokerage account holdings.

Rules: NASD Rules 3510(c)(3), (c)(8) & (f)(2).

IX. Mission Critical Systems
Our firm's "mission critical systems" are those that ensure prompt and accurate processing of securities transactions, including order taking, entry, execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities. More specifically, these systems include: Net Exchange Pro, a proprietary data and order entry system.

We have primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining our business relationships with our customers and have sole responsibility for our mission critical functions of order taking and entry. Our clearing firm provides, through contract, the execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities.

Our clearing firm contract provides that our clearing firm will maintain a business continuity plan and the capacity to execute that plan. Our clearing firm represents that it will advise us of any material changes to its plan that might affect our ability to maintain our business and presented us with an executive summary of its plan. In the event our clearing firm executes its plan, it represents that it will notify us of such execution and provide us equal access to services as its other customers. If we reasonably determine that our clearing firm has not or cannot put its plan in place quickly enough to meet our needs, or is otherwise unable to provide access to such services, our clearing firm represents that it will assist us in seeking services from an alternative source.

Our clearing firm represents that it backs up our records at a remote Morris County, NJ site. Our clearing firm represents that it operates a back-up operating facility in a geographically separate area with the capability to conduct the same volume of business as its primary site. Our clearing firm has also confirmed the effectiveness of its back-up arrangements to recover from a wide scale disruption by testing, and it has confirmed that it tests its back-up arrangements every six months.

Recovery-time objectives provide concrete goals to plan for and test against. They are not, however, hard and fast deadlines that must be met in every emergency situation, and various external factors surrounding a disruption, such as time of day, scope of disruption, and status of critical infrastructure-particularly telecommunications-can affect actual recovery times. Recovery refers to the restoration of clearing and settlement activities after a wide-scale disruption; resumption refers to the capacity to accept and process new transactions and payments after a wide-scale disruption. Our clearing firm has the following SBD recovery time and resumption objectives: recovery time period of within 4 hours and resumption time within the same business day.

A. Our Firm's Mission Critical Systems

1. Order Taking
Currently, our firm receives orders from customers via telephone/fax/e-mail and at in person visits by the customer. During an SBD, either internal or external, we will continue to take orders through any of these methods that are available and reliable, and in addition, as communications permit, we will inform our customers when communications become available to tell them what alternatives they have to send their orders to us. Customers will be informed of alternatives by letter, telephone, email or fax. If necessary, we will advise our customers to place orders directly with our clearing firm at Pershing, LLC, 201-413-3664.

2. Order Entry
Currently, our firm enters orders by recording them on paper and electronically and sending them to our clearing firm electronically or telephonically. We also place customer orders through Net Exchange Pro, a Pershing Proprietary System. We have contacted Pershing, LLC and were told that, under its BCP, we can expect services within 4 hours.

In the event of an internal SBD, we will enter and send records to our clearing firm by the fastest alternative means available, which include mail, fax or email. In the event of an external SBD, we will maintain the order in electronic or paper format, and deliver the order to the clearing firm by the fastest means available when it resumes operations. In addition, during an internal SBD, we may need to refer our customers to deal directly with our clearing firm for order entry.

B. Mission Critical Systems Provided by Our Clearing Firm

Our firm relies, by contract, on our clearing firm to provide order execution, order comparison, order allocation, and the maintenance of customer accounts, delivery of funds and securities, and access to customer accounts.

Rules: NASD Rules 3510(c) & (f)(1).

X. Alternate Communications Between the Firm and Customers, Employees, and Regulators
A. Our Firm's Mission Critical Systems

We now communicate with our customers using the telephone, e-mail, our Web site, fax, U.S. mail, and in person visits at our firm or at the other's location. In the event of an SBD, we will assess which means of communication are still available to us, and use the means closest in speed and form (written or oral) to the means that we have used in the past to communicate with the other party. For example, if we have communicated with a party by e-mail but the Internet is unavailable, we will call them on the telephone and follow up where a record is needed with paper copy in the U.S. mail.

Rule: NASD Rule 3510(c)(4).

B. Employees

We will also employ a call tree so that senior management can reach all employees quickly during an SBD. The call tree includes all staff home and office phone numbers. We have identified persons, noted below, who live near each other and may reach each other in person:

Rule: NASD Rule 3510(c)(9).

XI. Critical Business Constituents, Banks, and Counter-Parties
A. Business constituents

We have contacted our critical business constituents (businesses with which we have an ongoing commercial relationship in support of our operating activities, such as vendors providing us critical services), and determined the extent to which we can continue our business relationship with them in light of the internal or external SBD. We will quickly establish alternative arrangements if a business constituent can no longer provide the needed goods or services when we need them because of a SBD to them or our firm. [or we have entered into a supplemental contract with certain critical business constituents to provide such services. The alternative suppliers are disclosed below.] Our major suppliers are: Staples and Office Depot.

Rules: NASD Rule 3510(c)(7).

B. Banks

We have contacted our banks and lenders to determine if they can continue to provide the financing that we will need in light of the internal or external SBD. The bank maintaining our operating account is: Bank of America, Darien, CT 1120 Post Road (Route 1), Darien, CT 06820. The bank maintaining our Proprietary Account of Introducing Brokers/Dealers (PAIB account) is Bank of New York, 100 Wall Street, New York, NY 10021. If our banks and other lenders are unable to provide the financing, we will seek alternative financing immediately from Peter Schiff's personal brokerage account at Pershing LLC, account number: 6WU207721.

Rules: NASD Rule 3510(c)(7).

C. Counter-Parties

We have contacted our critical counter-parties, such as other broker-dealers or institutional customers, to determine if we will be able to carry out our transactions with them in light of the internal or external SBD. Where the transactions cannot be completed, we will work with our clearing firm or contact those counter-parties directly to make alternative arrangements to complete those transactions as soon as possible.

Rules: NASD Rules 3510(a) &(c)(7).

XII. Regulatory Reporting
Our firm is subject to regulation by: NASD, SEC and Connecticut Department of Corporations. We now file reports with our regulators using paper copies in the U.S. mail, and electronically using fax, e-mail, and the Internet. In the event of an SBD, we will check with the SEC, NASD, and other regulators to determine which means of filing are still available to us, and use the means closest in speed and form (written or oral) to our previous filing method. In the event that we cannot contact our regulators, we will continue to file required reports using the communication means available to us. NASD Local Examiner, Amy Campanini, Boston District Office 617-532-3487.

Rule: NASD Rule 3510(c)(8).

XIII. Disclosure of Business Continuity Plan
