Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants
 
To the Shareholders of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. and subsidiaries as at April 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has a deficit of $32.8 million at April 30, 2011 and incurred a net loss of $2.1 million during the year ended April 30, 2011. These matters, as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Other Matter

The consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2009 were audited by another auditor who issued an unmodified opinion dated July 31, 2009, except for the effects of the restatement as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010 (not presented herein), as to which the date is August 19, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants
 
To the Shareholders of
CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (the “Company”) (an exploration stage company) as at 30 April 2009 (not presented herein) and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended 30 April 2009.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 30 April 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended 30 April 2009 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Comments by Independent Registered Chartered Accountants for United States of America Readers on Canada – United States of America Reporting Differences

The standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America) require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Although we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), our report to the Shareholders dated 31 July 2009, except for the effects of the restatement as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2010 (not presented herein) appearing under Item 17 of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F, as to which the date is 19 August 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended April 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Expressed in Canadian dollars except where indicated)
 
1
Nature of Operations
 
  CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (the “Company” or “CanAlaska”) and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the exploration of uranium properties. The Company will attempt to bring the properties to production, structure joint ventures with others, option or lease properties to third parties or sell the properties outright. The Company has not determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable and the Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. On June 21, 2011, the Company’s shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and ceased trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.
   
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  CanAlaska has incurred losses since inception and as at April 30, 2011 has cumulative losses of $32.8 million (2010: $30.7 million). The Company has never paid dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future.  At April 30, 2011, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million (2010: $8.7 million) (note 4) and working capital of $9.9 million (2010: $8.5 million). Management believes that the cash on hand at April 30, 2011 is sufficient to meet corporate, administrative and exploration activities for the coming twelve months. However, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although CanAlaska has been successful in raising funds in the past, there can be no assurance that CanAlaska will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future. Should CanAlaska be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on the balance sheet.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
  Basis of Presentation
   
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and presented in Canadian dollars.
   
  Principles of Consolidation
   
 
The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of all entities controlled by the Company. The effects of transactions between entities on the consolidated group are eliminated. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statements of loss and deficit from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year, its results are included for that part of the year during which control exists.

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Canada-Korea Uranium Limited Partnership (“CKU Partnership”) and CanAlaska Korea Uranium Limited (“CKUL”) in accordance with the guidance of Accounting Guideline 15 - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“AcG-15”). It recognizes the other Partners’ ownership as non-controlling interest. The Company also proportionately consolidates its interest in the Rise and Shine joint venture (a New Zealand joint venture).
   
 
Measurement Uncertainties
   
 
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
 
Realization of the Company’s assets and liabilities is subject to risks and uncertainties, including reserve and resource estimation, future uranium and precious and base metal prices, estimated costs of future production, changes in government legislation and regulations, estimated future income taxes, and the availability of financing and various operational factors.
   
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
   
  Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash at banks, cash on hand and other short term investments with a maturity of less than 90 days.
   
  Financial Assets and Liabilities
   
 
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured based on their classification as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale or held-for-trading. The classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition unless the facts and circumstances warrant a change in classification. 
   
  Held-for-Trading
   
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are purchased and incurred with the intention of generating profits in the near term are classified as held-for-trading. These instruments are measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in income.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
 
Available-for-Sale Securities
   
 
Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income.
   
  Comprehensive Income
   
 
Comprehensive income is composed of the Company’s earnings and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation gains and losses on the net investment in self-sustaining operations and changes in the fair market value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, all net of income taxes. Cumulative changes in other comprehensive income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is presented as a category in shareholders’ equity.
   
 
Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Expenditures
   
  The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.
   
 
Mineral exploration and development costs are capitalized on an individual prospect basis until such time as an economic ore body is defined or the prospect is determined by management to be impaired or abandoned. Amounts received for the sale of resource properties, option payments, exploration advances and recovery of mineral property expenditures are treated as reductions of the cost of the property and payments in excess of capitalized costs are recognized in income.
   
  The recoverability of the amounts capitalized for the undeveloped mineral properties is dependent upon the determination of economically recoverable ore reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete their development and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
   
 
Management of the Company regularly reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property. Where events or changes in circumstances suggest impairment, estimated future cash flows are calculated using estimated future prices, proven and probable reserves, value beyond proven and probable reserves, probability weighted outcomes and operating capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future cash flows are less than the carrying value, a write-down to the estimated fair value is expensed for the period. The Company presently has no proven or probable reserves. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if carrying values can be recovered. If the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then the project is written-down to estimated fair values with the write-down expensed in the period.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
  Management’s estimates of future mineral prices, recoverable resources, initial and operating capital and reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur that could adversely affect management’s estimate of the net cash flows to be generated from its properties.
   
 
Title to mineral properties involves inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently unreliable conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, all of its properties are in good standing.
   
 
Mineral Exploration Tax Credits (“METC”)
   
 
The Company recognizes METC amounts when the Company’s METC application is approved by the relevant taxation authorities or when the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured.
   
  Asset Retirement Obligations
   
 
The Company recognizes the legal liability for obligations relating to retirement of property, plant, and equipment, and arising from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of those assets. Such asset retirement cost are recognized at fair value, when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated, in the period in which it is incurred, added to the carrying value of the related asset, and amortized into income on a systematic basis over the related assets useful life. The liability is adjusted for changes in the expected amounts and timing of cash flows required to discharge the liability and accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to earnings.
   
  There are no asset retirement obligations as at April 30, 2011 and 2010.
   
  Property and Equipment
   
  Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation on the following basis: Office equipment - 20% declining balance method; Automotive equipment - 30% declining balance method; Mining equipment - 30% declining balance method; and Leasehold improvements - straight-line method over the life of the lease.
   
  Income Taxes
   
  The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years at the substantively enacted income tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be reversed. The amount of future tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

  Stock-Based Compensation
   
 
All stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized using a fair value based method. For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of the grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. For employees and non-employees, the fair value of options is accrued and charged to operations, with the offsetting credit to contributed surplus, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to share capital.
   
  Loss per Share
   
  Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method whereby all "in the money" options and warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from the exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended April 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is the same as the effect of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.
   
 
Foreign Currency Translation
   
  The accounts of the Company's foreign operations have been translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
   
 
Monetary assets and liabilities are converted at the year-end rates and all other assets and liabilities at historical rates. Revenue and expense and exploration and development items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.
   
 
Exchange gains and losses arising from these translations are reflected in income or expense in the year that they occur.
   
 
Flow-Through Shares
   
 
Canadian Income Tax Legislation permits an enterprise to issue securities referred to as flow-through shares, whereby the investor can claim the tax deductions arising from the renunciation of the related resource expenditures. Under Canadian GAAP, when resource expenditures are renounced to the investors and the Company has reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be completed, future income tax liabilities are recognized with a corresponding reduction in share capital.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
 
If a Company has sufficient unused tax losses and deductions (“losses”) to offset all or part of the future income tax liabilities and no future income tax assets have been previously recognized on such losses, a portion of such unrecognized losses (losses multiplied by the effective corporate tax rate) is recorded as income up to the amount of the future income tax liability that was previously recognized on the renounced expenditures.
   
 
The Company follows the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) with respect to flow-through shares, as outlined in EIC-146.  The application of EIC-146 requires the recognition of the foregone tax benefit on the date the Company renounces the tax credits associated with exploration expenditures, provided there is reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be made.
   
  New Accounting Pronouncement
   
 
IFRS Convergence
   
  In February 2008, the CICA announced that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises is to be replaced by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Companies are required to provide IFRS comparative information for the previous fiscal year. Accordingly, the conversion from Canadian GAAP to IFRS is to be applicable to the Company’s reporting for the first quarter of its 2012 year end for which the current and comparative information will be prepared under IFRS. The Company is required to apply all of those IFRS standards which are effective for fiscal year ending April 30, 2011 and apply them to its opening May 1, 2010 balance sheet.

Interests in Variable Interest Entities
 
  CanAlaska Korean Uranium Joint Venture
   
 
In December 2007, the Company formed a partnership, CKU Partnership, with Hanwha Corporation, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Resources Corp., and SK Networks Co. Ltd. (together the “Korean Consortium”) to develop the Cree East uranium exploration project (“Cree East”), which consists of approximately 56,000 hectares of contiguous mineral claims in a region known as the Athabasca Basin (“Athabasca”), located in Saskatchewan, Canada.
   
 
Under the terms of agreements, the Korean Consortium will invest $19 million towards the earn-in of a 50% ownership interest in the CKU Partnership over a 4-year period. As of April 30, 2011, the Korean Consortium has contributed $19 million (2010: $12.6 million) and has a 50% interest (2010: 40.6%) in the CKU Partnership.
   
 
The Company acts as the operator for the exploration project and earns a management fee of 10% of the exploration expenditures incurred. The following are the significant balances of the CKU Partnership that are included in CanAlaska’s consolidated balance sheets:

The Company was awaiting the grant of exploration permits by the Government of Manitoba, which have been delayed due to aboriginal consultations. In June 2010, Great Western terminated the agreement and on June 22, 2010, the Company withdrew its exploration permit application and recorded a mineral property write-down of $367 for the Misty project.
   
 
Rainbow Hill comprises 12 unpatented federal lode mining claims in the Valdez Creek Mining District, Talkeetna Recording District, Alaska, U.S.A. This property was optioned to District Gold Inc.

During the year, flow-through shares totalling $0.7 million (2010: $4.3 million) were issued, which funds are required to be spent on certain Qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures (note 8). As the Company no longer has the ability to use the expenditures for tax purposes, the Company is required to record a future tax liability which is equal to the renunciation at the corporate tax rate when expenditures are renounced. This amounted to $0.1 million (2010: $1.2 million). However, the Company can utilize previously unrecognized future income tax assets to offset the liability to the extent available. The excess future income tax liability of $3.6 million (2010: $3.4 million) has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly, such as prices, or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity), such as non-corroborative indicative prices for a particular instrument provided by a third party.

Fair Values

As at April 30, 2011, the Company's carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

Cash and cash equivalents are designated as held-for-trading. The Company has financial assets classified as available-for-sale. The Company has recorded its available-for-sale securities at current market value through either permanent impairment or revaluation through other comprehensive income.

Capital Management

The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time minimizing the cost of capital and maximizing growth of its business and provide returns to its shareholders. The Company’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity, comprising issued share capital plus contributed surplus plus accumulated other comprehensive income and deficit with a balance of $42.4 million as at April 30, 2011 (2010: $39.9 million). The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended April 30, 2010.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.

Currency Risk

The Company maintains a majority of its cash and cash equivalents in Canadian dollars and also incurs a majority of its expenditures in Canadian dollars and therefore, has minimal exposure to foreign currency fluctuation.

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company is reliant upon equity issuances and funding from its strategic partners as its two sources of cash. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company continuously reviews its actual expenditures and forecast cash flows and matches the maturity dates of its cash equivalents to capital and operating needs.  The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all due within the year.  The Company has been successful in raising equity financing in the past; however, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future (note 1).

Differences between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”). The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requires that financial statements of foreign companies contain a reconciliation presenting the statements on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Any differences in accounting principles as they pertain to the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not material, except as follows:

a)     US GAAP requires that mineral property exploration and land use costs must be expensed as incurred, until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property. Accordingly, for US GAAP purposes, for all periods presented, the Company has expensed all land use costs for mineral properties and deferred exploration costs, which have been incurred by the Company, for which commercially mineable revenues do not exist. The expensing of these costs has a consequential impact on future income taxes.  Under Canadian GAAP, such costs have been deferred. For Canadian GAAP, cash flows relating to mineral property exploration and land use costs are reported as investing activities. For US GAAP, these costs would be characterized as operating activities.

b)      Under Canadian GAAP a premium to market on the issuance of flow-through shares would be recorded in share capital. For US GAAP purposes, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”, the proceeds should be allocated between the offering of the shares and the sale of tax benefits when the shares are issued. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow-through shares. A future tax liability is recognized for the premium paid by the investors and is then recognized as a future income tax recovery in the period of renunciation.

Differences between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (continued)

For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Company records a future income tax liability and a corresponding reduction of share capital in respect of flow-through share financing. For US GAAP purposes no such entry is recorded.

c)                      Under Canadian GAAP, investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Under US GAAP, investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The different accounting treatment affects only the display and classification of financial statement items and not net earnings or shareholders’ equity. As allowed under the SEC rules applicable to Form 20-F, no adjustment has been made for this difference.

d)                      Under US GAAP, funds raised from the issuance of flow-through shares, which have not yet been disbursed on qualifying exploration expenditures, would be disclosed as restricted cash. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents under US GAAP would be reduced by $nil at April 30, 2011, $833,000 at April 30, 2010, and $nil at April 30, 2009.
