STARFIELD RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
MAY 31, 2007
 
 
1.           NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta, Canada) on April 22, 1994, registered in the province of British Columbia as an extra-provincial company on April 22, 1998 and  registered in the Nunavut Territory, Canada as an extra-territorial corporation on March 18, 2003. The Alberta registration was discontinued and continued in British Columbia on October 27, 2006.  The Company is an advanced exploration and development company focused on its Ferguson Lake property.  Starfield owns a 100% undivided interest in the Ferguson Lake Platinum-Palladium-Nickel-Cobalt-Copper property (Note 3).

The underlying value of the mineral properties and related deferred costs is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of these properties, and upon profitable future production.  Currently, the Company has no producing mineral properties.  The Company plans to meet anticipated financing needs in connection with its obligations by the exercise of stock options and purchase warrants, through private placements and underwritings and short-term loans.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.

All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.


2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
a) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the year reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future years could be significant. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
 
b) Mineral properties

The cost of each mineral property, or interest therein, together with exploration costs are capitalized until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or abandoned or management has determined there to be an impairment in value. Costs of abandoned properties are written off to operations. These costs will be amortized on the basis of units produced in relation to the proven and probable reserves available on the related property following commencement of production.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
MAY 31, 2007
 
 
b) Mineral properties (cont’d…)

The costs capitalized do not necessarily reflect present or future values. The ultimate recovery of such amounts depends on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, successful commercial development of the related properties, availability of financing and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties.  There are no proven or probable reserves on the properties.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to resource properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.
 
c) Equipment and amortization

Equipment is recorded at cost with amortization provided on a declining balance as follows:

Furniture & fixtures
20%-30%
Exploration equipment
30%
Equipment under capital lease
30%

In the year of acquisition only one-half of the normal rates are applied.  Amortization related to exploration equipment is deferred to mineral properties as they are part of exploration costs.
 
d) Leases

Leases that substantially transfer all of the benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company, or otherwise meet the criteria for capitalization under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, are accounted for as capital leases.  An asset is recorded at the time a capital lease is entered into together with its related long-term obligation to reflect its purchase and financing.  Rental payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.
 
e) Asset retirement obligations

An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that the Company is required to settle. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability. To date, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations.
 
f) Flow-through common shares

Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with Canadian income tax legislation.  The Company records a future income tax liability and a reduction in capital stock for the estimated tax benefits transferred to shareholders.  When the Company renounces flow-through expenditures, a portion of the Company’s future income


[2]


 
f) Flow-through common shares (cont’d…)

tax assets that were not recognized in previous years, due to the recording of a valuation allowance, will be recognized as a recovery of future income taxes in the statement of operations.
 
g) Loss per share

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. For loss per share the dilutive effect has not been computed as it proved to be anti-dilutive. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year.
 
h) Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for its stock-based compensation.  The fair value of the stock options awarded is determined at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the associated expense is recognized over the vesting period.  Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock.
 
i) Income taxes

Income taxes are provided for in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method of tax allocation, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in rates is included in operations in the year in which the change is enacted or substantively enacted. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely then not to be realized.
 
j) Comprehensive earnings

Section 1530 introduces comprehensive earnings, which is composed of net earnings (loss) and other comprehensive earnings (loss) (OCE).  OCE comprises revenues, expenses, gains and losses that GAAP requires to be included in shareholder’s equity but are excluded from the calculation of net earnings (loss).  OCE includes unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale, unrealized foreign exchange currency translation gains or losses arising from self-sustaining foreign operations, net of hedging activities and changes in fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedging instruments.  Cumulative changes in OCE are presented in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) (AOCE) which is presented as a new category of shareholder’s equity on the balance sheet.


[3]

 
k) Financial instruments

Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities, and non-financial derivatives.  It requires that financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, be recognized on the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument or non-financial derivative contract.  Under this standard, all financial assets and liabilities are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition except for certain related party transactions.  Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification as held-for-sale, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, or other financial assets and liabilities.  Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial instruments designated as held-for-trading.  For other financial instruments, transaction costs are either captialized on initial recognition or expensed as incurred.  Starfield has decided to expense all transaction costs as incurred on its financial assets and liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities designated as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in financing and other costs.  Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization.  Available-for-sale assets are presented as investments on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, including changes in foreign exchange rates, being recognized in net income.  Investments in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost.  Investments in equity instruments over which the Company exercises significant influence and employs equity accounting are also measured at cost.

Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts that are closely related to the host contracts.  Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments are recognized in net earnings with the exception of derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company considers the impact of financial instruments at May 31, 2007 to be nil.
 
l) Hedges

Section 3865 outlines the criteria that must be satisfied in order for hedge accounting to be applied.  There are three permitted hedging strategies:  fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations.  Hedge accounting is prospectively discontinued when the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge or the derivative is terminated, sold, matures or expires.

The Company has no hedges in place at May 31, 2007.

Ferguson Lake claims

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company earned a 100% interest in the property, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) on mineral production, a 3% gross overriding royalty on diamond production and a $25,000 annual advance royalty payment. The Company has the right to purchase 1% of the 3% NSR for $1,000,000 up to 180 days after receipt of a positive feasibility study recommending commercial production. The Company was also required to pay the vendor an annual operator management fee on the annual qualifying exploration expenditures on the Ferguson Lake claims.  The Company has terminated the annual management fee in exchange for increasing the annual advance royalty payment to $50,000.
 
Starfield / Wyn Ferguson Lake project:

On November 8, 2002 (as amended May 6, 2003 and December 3, 2003), Wyn Developments Inc.  (“Wyn”) entered into an option agreement with Hunter Exploration Group (“Hunter”) to earn an undivided 100% interest in certain claims located contiguous to the Ferguson Lake claims, Nunavut Territory in consideration of the issuance of 1,100,000 units to Hunter, the expenditure of $1,000,000 over four calendar years between 2002 and 2005 on exploration and development on the property and the payment of advance royalty payments.  In July 2003, the Company signed an option agreement with Wyn whereby the Company could earn a 50% interest in these claims. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was required to incur a total of $500,000 (one-half of the total commitment of Wyn) in exploration expenditures in the calendar years 2004 through to 2005 and contribute an additional $75,000 for exploration in calendar year 2004. In addition, the Company was required to pay $15,000 and $10,000 advance royalties on July 1, 2004 and July 1, 2005 respectively.   In April 2004, the Company signed an addendum to the Starfield / Wyn
[5]




option agreement to add claims which were staked under an area of mutual agreement.  The new claims were held on a 50-50 basis.

The exploration commitments were not completed by either party and it was decided by management to write-down the mineral property to $1 because the Company and Wyn retained interest in certain claims that fell outside the Hunter agreement. The remaining amount was written off during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 as the claims expired.
