SHARPE RESOURCES CORPORATION

Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Sharpe Resources Corporation have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The most significant of these accounting principles have been set out in the December 31, 2005 audited consolidated financial statements. Only changes in accounting information have been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. These statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events. Therefore, estimates and approximations have been made using careful judgment. Recognizing that the Corporation is responsible for both the integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements, management is satisfied that these consolidated financial statements have been fairly presented.

Auditors' involvement

The auditors of Sharpe Resources Corporation have not performed a review of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

Sharpe Resources Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Sharpe") is a publicly held company, engaged primarily in the exploration for production of petroleum and natural gas properties through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharpe Energy Company ("Sharpe Energy"), in a single cost centre being the United States. The Corporation is continued under the New Brunswick Business Corporation Act and its common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

In August 1999, Sharpe Energy was forced to voluntarily seek Chapter 11 reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code and on March 27, 2000, Sharpe Energy's second plan of reorganization ("the Chapter 11 Plan") was confirmed under which the Corporation recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $1,313,900 in 2000. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Corporation still has outstanding debt under the Chapter 11 Plan, the details of which are described in Note 3 of the audited December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements.

As of September 15, 2004, the Corporation changed its focus away from the oil and gas business into precious metals exploration and development in the western US. Sharpe has purchased an option (the “Option ”) from Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM") to acquire a 60% interest in RSM ’s gold project located in Lyon County, Nevada (the “Project ”), in consideration for which Sharpe has issued 2,000,000 common shares to RSM at a deemed value of CDN $100,000 (US $78,125). To exercise the option, Sharpe must maintain the unpatented and patented mining claims on the Project, must pay all required option annual advanced minimum royalty payments, and deliver a completed positive feasibility study in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 in respect of the Project. Upon exercise of the Option, Sharpe will hold a 60% working interest in the Project.

RSM and the Corporation are related parties under common management and have common directors.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Corporation will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue in business.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Corporation's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN (continued)

New accounting pronouncement

In January 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued four new accounting standards: Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Handbook Section 3251, Equity, Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Corporation's fiscal years beginning January 1, 2007.

7. INCOME TAXES

Estimated taxable income for the period ended is $nil. Based on the level of historical taxable income, it cannot be reasonably estimated at this time if it is more likely than not that the Corporation will realize the benefits from future income tax assets or the amounts owing from future income tax liabilities.

Consequently, the future recovery of loss arising from differences in tax values and accounting values have been reduced by an equivalent estimated taxable temporary difference valuation allowance.

The estimated taxable temporary difference valuation allowance will be adjusted in the period that it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets or future tax liabilities will be realized.

For further information on the Corporation's actual losses for tax purposes, refer to the December 31, 2005 audited consolidated financial statements.

8. BASIC AND DILUTED (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

The (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the (loss) income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share reflects the maximum possible dilution from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. For 2006, the conversion of stock options and warrants was not included in the calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. In 2005, the conversion of stock options was not included because the average trading price for the period was less than the exercise price of the stock options. Diluted (loss) income per share is therefore the same as basic (loss) income per share for 2005.

The following table sets out the computation for basic and diluted (loss) income per share:

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 2005 2006 2005

Numerator: (Loss) income for the period $ (42,519) $ 348,055 $ (208,659) $ 320,053

Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 43,981,003 35,184,803 42,751,944 35,184,803
