Trust Overview

CurrencySharesSM Mexican Peso Trust (the "Trust") is a grantor trust that was formed on June 8, 2006. The Trust issues shares (the "Shares") in blocks of 50,000 each (a "Basket") in exchange for deposits of Mexican Pesos and distributes Mexican Pesos in connection with the redemption of Baskets.

The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust does not have any officers, directors or employees. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Mexican Peso plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the Mexican Peso.

The Shares, which began trading on June 26, 2006, trade under the ticker symbol "FXM" on NYSE Arca. Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility.

Definition of Net Asset Value; Valuation of the Mexican Peso

The net asset value ("NAV") of the Trust is the aggregate value, expressed in U.S. Dollars ("USD"), of the Trust's assets. To calculate the NAV, The Bank of New York Mellon (the "Trustee") adds to the amount of Mexican Pesos in the Trust at the end of the preceding business day accrued but unpaid interest, Mexican Pesos receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsor's fee, Mexican Pesos payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any.

Prior to November 13, 2008, the NAV was expressed in USD based on the Noon Buying Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. As of and after November 13, 2008, the NAV has been expressed in USD based on the Closing Spot Rate as determined by WM/Reuters. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate shall be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares.


Table of Contents

The Sponsor publishes the NAV and NAV per Share on each day that the NYSE Arca is open for regular trading on the Trust's website, www.currencyshares.com.

The following chart illustrates the movement in the price of the Shares based on
(1) NAV per Share, (2) the "bid" and "ask" midpoint offered on the NYSE (prior to October 30, 2007) and NYSE Arca (as of and after October 30, 2007) and
(3) the Noon Buying Rate (prior to November 13, 2008) and the Closing Spot Rate (as of and after November 13, 2008) expressed as a multiple of 1,000 Mexican Pesos:

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust's liquidity needs. The Trust's Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of July 31, 2009 was an annual nominal rate of 3.95%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Trust's Shares began trading on the NYSE:

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor's fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee, withdraws Mexican Pesos from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor's fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. In the event that the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor's fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

Critical Accounting Estimates

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.
