NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of M45 Mining Resources Inc (“M45” or “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments (consisting of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2007 (unaudited) and the results of its operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 (unaudited) and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 (unaudited). Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements. Results of operations for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2007, which was filed July 16, 2007.
 
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

M45 Mining Resources Inc.’s, new strategy is focused on building shareholder value through the exploration and development of mineral claims, particularly in the Matagami Mining Camp located in Quebec, Canada. The Matagami Mining Camp is known for its zinc-rich massive sulphide deposits. Initial exploratory work in the Camp can be traced back to the 1930's with Noranda's activities in the region. Ten of the eighteen deposits discovered to date have been mined and have produced a total of 3.9 Mt zinc and 0.4 Mt copper.

M45 management believed that there were likely one or more deposits situated within the limits of the Claims due to the fact that the property is located near past producers and existing deposits. Management has commenced its first phase exploration program in early April and conducted full surveying and NI-43-101 to determine the location of potential deposits. On June 7 2007, the company received final results of the NI-43-101 reports confirming the presence of deposits. The Company intends to initiate a massive drilling program as per the geologist’s recommendation, which is contained in the report. The drilling program cost will represent a total of $2.8 million Canadian dollars.

On October 9, 2007, M45 management finalized the acquisition of 160 mining titles covering a total area of 8,935 Hectares in the East area of the Matagami Mining Camp. The mining titles were acquired from "Miniere Grenville," a Canadian Corporation, for a total nominal consideration of One Million Two Hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in common shares at a set price value of $ 0.20 for a total number of restricted shares of 6,250,000. This acquisition is a key milestone of the "East Wind" phase of the Company's business development program.
 
The mining titles are situated on the east side of Matagami Mining Camp adjacent to properties owned by Xstrada plc, the world's fifth largest diversified mining company by market capitalization. These strategic territories strengthen M45's presence in the Matagami Camp by adding a new series of high-grade potential mining titles to the Company's existing "West Wind" territories. The Matagami Mining Camp is a world-class mining district, composed of 18 known volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of Zinc and 853 million pounds of Copper and has established infrastructure including a railway, paved road and a 2,350 t/day mill owned by Falconbridge/Xstrada plc.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. The Company had no potential common stock instruments which would result in a diluted loss per share.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For financial statement purposes, all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2007.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss)," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no significant impact on total shareholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2007.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight line depreciation method. Leasehold Improvements is calculated on the remaining lease period and using the straight line amortization method.

Development Stage Company
 
The Company currently has no revenues and is considered to be a development stage company under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, "Accounting and reporting by Development Stage Enterprises."

Dividends
 
Dividends may be paid on outstanding shares as declared by the Board of Directors. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2007. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, income tax recoverable, bank loans, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes and amounts due to related parties. The fair values were assumed to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Income Taxes
 
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") for recording the provision for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception and has incurred net operating losses. Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these unaudited consolidated financial statements because, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rates fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

Monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

Non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;

Revenue and expenses that are monetary items are valued at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The Company is exposed to fluctuating interest rates.

Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts reported in the previous year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Research and Development Costs
 
There were no expenditures for research and development activities.

Revenue Recognition
 
In December 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB 104), which supersedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The primary purpose of SAB 104 is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. The adoption of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements because it has not recognized any revenue to date.

Translation of Foreign Currencies
 
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency transactions occasionally occur, and are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. Management has adopted SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". Monetary balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Daily closing rates are used to translate revenues and expenses into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect on a specific date. Resulting translation gains and losses are charged to operations. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Assets retired or sold are removed from property accounts, with gain or losses on disposal included in income.

NOTE 3: COMMON STOCK

The Company has authorized capital stock of 55,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001, of which 24,342,500 shares were issued and outstanding as of November 1, 2007. The Company's common stock commenced trading on January 27, 1999 on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., under the symbol "MRES."

NOTE 4: GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in these consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 1,809,167 from inception to December 31, 2007 and does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon management to meet any costs and expenses incurred. Management realizes that this situation may continue until the Company obtains additional working capital through equity financing.

ITEM 1. - Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Company's consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Exploration Stage Company

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as pre-exploration stage.

Capitalization of Mineral Claim Costs

Cost of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred until such time as reserves are proven.  Costs incurred in proving and developing a property ready for production are capitalized and amortized over the life of the mineral deposit or over a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value.  Expenditures for mining equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s former subsidiary, Oasis, translated amounts from its functional currency, Canadian dollars, to the reporting currency, United States dollars, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”.  At cash balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate which may give rise to a foreign currency translation adjustment accounted for as a separate component of stockholders’ deficiency and included in comprehensive loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities assumed.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date.  All exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the year.

Overview
 
Business of Issuer

M45 Mining Resources Inc.'s new strategy is focused on building shareholder value through the exploration and development of mineral claims, particularly in the Matagami Mining Camp located in Quebec, Canada. The Matagami Mining Camp is known for its zinc-rich massive sulphide deposits. Initial exploratory work in the Camp can be traced back to the 1930's with Noranda's activities in the region. Ten of the eighteen deposits discovered to date have been mined and have produced a total of 3.9 Mt zinc and 0.4 Mt copper.

M45 Management believes that there are likely one or more deposits situated within the limits of the Claims due to the fact that the property is located near past producers and existing deposits.

Management has commenced its first phase exploration program in early April and conducted full surveying and NI-43-101 to determine the location of potential deposits. On June 7, 2007, the company received final results of the NI-43-101 reports confirming the presence of deposits. The Company intends to initiate a massive drilling program as per the geologist's recommendation, which is contained in the report. The drilling program cost will represent a total of $2.8 million Canadian dollars.

On October 9, 2007, M45 management finalized the acquisition of 160 mining titles covering a total area of 8,935 Hectares in the East area of the Matagami Mining Camp. The mining titles were acquired from "Miniere Grenville," a Canadian Corporation, for a total nominal consideration of One Million Two Hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in common shares at a set price value of $ 0.20 for a total number of restricted shares of 6,250,000. This acquisition is a key milestone of the "East Wind" phase of the Company's business development program.
On or about October 12, 2007, the Registrant received a Technical Report on the East Wind Property, dated October 5, 2007 from InnovExplo - Geologist Consulting Firm, Mines & Exploration containing a detailed analysis of the mining claims owned by the Registrant. In the report M 45 received confirmation of some anomalous Zinc rock values associated with Gold showings from diamond drill holes on its East Wind Property.
 
The mining titles are situated on the east side of Matagami Mining Camp adjacent to properties owned by Xstrata plc, the world's fifth largest diversified mining company by market capitalization. These strategic territories strengthen M45's presence in the Matagami Camp by adding a new series of high-grade potential mining titles to the Company's existing "West Wind" territories. The Matagami Mining Camp is a world-class mining district, composed of 18 known volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of Zinc and 853 million pounds of Copper and has established infrastructure including a railway, paved road and a 2,350 t/day mill owned by Falconbridge/Xstrata plc.

During the month of December 2007 management has instigated series of discussions with various investment groups in regards to an investment in equity for an amount between $5 to $10 million. The company is now negotiating the terms with 2 selected firms one located in New York, and with a European investment group and anticipates positive results by middle of March 2008.
 
The Company expects to encounter intense competition in its efforts to become a leader in mining exploration. Many large and small companies compete in this intense market. The principal means of competition vary among categories and business groups; however, the value of the territories is certainly to be taken into consideration. The competing entities will have significantly greater experience, financial resources, facilities, contacts and managerial expertise, than the Company.

Results of Operation

The Company had no revenues for the period April 1, 2007 to February 1, 2008. The Company has hired an external geologist firm to conduct geologic reports NI-43-101 on its Matagami property for an approximate cost of $90,000. The Company also incurred operation costs related to completing marketing material such as; Logo's Web site, summaries and other corporate presentation material. M45 started to pay rent and common shared expenses as of April 1, 2007; the agreement is for rent, telephone, utilities and other operation support cost at a set price of $3,500 a month. The Company also incurred expenses to cover for legal fees, filing expenses, press releases, traveling expenses, representation costs, mailings, research costs, and various operational costs. Through December 31, 2007, the Company’s majority shareholder has advanced the Company $748,491 to cover these operating costs. The shareholder agreed to continue to support operational costs until the Company can generate revenues from financing activities and or from commercial operations and to convert the note into equity in restricted shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
M45 is a development stage company, and as of the date of this report, had no operations that generate revenue and the Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,809,167. The Company continues to report negative stockholders’ equity and does not have sufficient assets to pay current liabilities as they come due. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon several factors; including the ability to attain profitable business operations and generate a positive cash flow. Management plans to raise additional capital investment in the Company, and it believes the necessary investment will be forthcoming within the next six month period. There can be no assurance that equity financings will be available to the Company in the future that will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. In the event that the Company’s efforts to obtain such financing prove unsuccessful, the Company may be required to abandon its current business goals and cease operations.

M45’s current management have indicated a willingness, for the time being, to continue rendering services to the Company, to advance sufficient funds to meet our operational needs, and not to demand payment of sums owed. The Company therefore believes that it can continue as a going concern in the near future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

Additionally, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
 

PART II  - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

Other than as set forth herein, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that we expect will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the value of the mining claims represents a total of $4,500,000 (CAD).

On October 9, 2007, M45 management finalized the acquisition of 160 mining titles covering a total area of 8,935 Hectares in the East area of the Matagami Mining Camp. The mining titles were acquired from "Miniere Grenville," a Canadian Corporation, for a total nominal consideration of One Million Two Hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in common shares at a set price value of $ 0.20 for a total number of restricted shares of 6,250,000.

ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

This Information Statement is furnished to holders of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of M45 Mining Resources Inc. (the “Company”) to notify such stockholders that on or about August 15, 2007, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock representing in excess of 50.1 % of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the “Majority Stockholders”) approving the Certificate of Amendment to increase in the number of authorized shares to 55,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.0001. (the “Share Increase”).

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the resolutions on August 15, 2007. A Written Consent of Shareholders was executed on August 15, 2007. As of August 15, 2007, there were 24,342,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

As a result of these actions, the Company will, effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, change its authorized capital.

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters other than those described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company's voting stock.

M45 MINING RESOURCES INC.’s Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes M45 MINING RESOURCES INC. to issue up to 55,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Board of Directors has increased in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of M45 MINING RESOURCES INC.

This Section provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less that the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on a matter were present and voted, may be substituted for the special meeting. According to this Section 78.390 of the Nevada Law, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on the matter is required in order to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to effect the Amendment as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of the majority shareholders of the Company.

The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that all Shareholders ARE NOT REQUIRED to return their certificates to have them re-issued by the Transfer Agent.
