WEALTH MINERALS LTD.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

May 31, 2007 and 2006





1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS


The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties, primarily in Argentina, Peru and Canada.  The Company considers itself to be an exploration stage company.


The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that any of the Company’s current or future exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations.  The recoverability of amounts shown for minerals properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete their development and exploitation, and future profitable operations or sale of the mineral properties.


Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has or has a right to acquire an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures to not guarantee title (whether of the Company or of any underlying vendor(s) from whom the Company may be acquiring its interest).  Title to mineral properties may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers, and may also be affected by undetected defects or the rights of indigenous peoples.


2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Accounts specifically requiring the use of management’s  best estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values are receivables, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and future income taxes.


Principles of consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Triband Resource US Inc. (incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A.) and Wealth Minerals Peru, S.A.C. (incorporated in Peru).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  As at May 31, 2007 and November 30, 2006, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.


Restricted cash


Under the terms of MasterCard’s corporate credit policy, the Company is required to pledge a defined amount of term deposit to the financial institution as collateral.  This deposit is interest bearing and refundable upon payment in full of any outstanding balance owing and cancellation of the credit cards.  The interest on the term deposit is paid to the Company.


Financial instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, term deposits, restricted cash, and accounts receivable, refundable acquisition fee, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties.  Unless otherwise noted, it is Management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.


Acquisition costs


The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property-by-property basis.  Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries.  Costs are deferred until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed, the property is sold or the Company’s mineral rights are allowed to lapse.


All capitalized costs are reviewed on a property-by-property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment.  When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount (as estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve or by reference to option or joint venture expenditure commitments) or when, in the Company’s assessment, it will be unable to sell the property for an amount greater than the deferred costs, the property is written down for the impairment in value.


From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement.  As such options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded at the time of the agreement.  Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.


Capitalized costs are depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the applicable mineral rights are allowed to lapse.


Asset retirement obligations


An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets the Company is required to settle.  This would include obligations related to future removal of property and equipment, and site restoration costs.  The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The carrying amount of the related long-lived assets is increased by the same amount as the liability.  The adoption of this accounting policy has not affected the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Environmental protection and reclamation costs


The operations of the Company have been, and may be in the future, affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restorations costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.


The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.  Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against Statements of Operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits.  The Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because all property holdings are at early stages of exploration.  Therefore, estimated future removal and site restoration costs are presently considered minimal.


Equipment


Equipment is recorded at cost and is being amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:


Computer equipment

30% declining balance basis

Office furniture and equipment

20% declining balance basis


Investment


The Company’s long-term investment is accounted for on a cost basis.  The investment is written-down to its estimated net realizable value when there is evidence of a decline in value below carried cost that is other than temporary.


Foreign exchange


Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.  Monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at that date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of exchange.  Gains and losses arising from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each year end are included in Statements of Operations.


Basic and diluted loss per share


The Company uses the “treasury stock method” in computing loss per share.  Under this method, basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year.  Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method.  Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted net loss per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive.


Stock-based compensation


The Company has a stock option plan as described in Note 10.  The Company uses the accounting recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”.  At the beginning of the 2004 fiscal year, the Company began recording compensation cost on the granting of stock options to employees and directors that are not direct awards of stock or stock appreciation rights.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant.  Any consideration received on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock.  The adoption of the new standard results in expense recognition for options granted after November 30, 2003.


Income taxes


Future income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.


The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment or substantive enactment occurs.  To the extent that the Company does not consider it to be more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.


Flow-through Common Shares


Under the terms of Canadian flow-through share legislation, the tax attributes of qualifying mineral exploration expenditures are renounced to the flow-through share subscribers.  To recognize the foregone tax impact, capital stock is reduced and future income tax liability is recognized at the time the related expenditures are renounced.  Losses for income tax purposes are reduced by the amount of the flow-through renunciation.

The Company follows CICA Handbook Section 1701, “Segment Disclosures” about operating segments in financial statements, as well as additional disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.


Revenue Recognition


Interest income is recorded on an as-earned basis.


Credit Risk


Cash, term deposits and restricted cash have been placed with a major Canadian chartered bank, and to date the Company has not experienced losses on any of its balances.


3.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY


Effective December 1, 2005, the Company changed its accounting policy to capitalizing all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property-by-property basis.  Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures net of recoveries.  This change in policy has been retroactively applied.  The effect of the change in accounting policy on the consolidated financial statements of the prior period is to capitalize $2,167,306 of exploration costs that would otherwise have been expensed.


4.

DUE TO RELATED PARTIES


Amounts due to related parties include directors, officers, companies they control, and companies with common directors and/or officers.  The amounts are unsecured, without interest or fixed terms of repayment (Note 12).

REFUNDABLE ACQUISITION FEE


Mexico/Columbia Project Acquisition Letter of Intent


Under a letter of intent dated December 6, 2004 (as amended January 31, 2005) (“LOI”) between the Company, Geosermin S.A. (“Geosermin”), a Mexican corporation, and Minera San Jorge S.A. de C.V. (“MSJ”), a Mexican corporation, MSJ, Geosermin and/or affiliated companies provided data to the Company with respect to two mineral projects, one in Columbia and one in Mexico.  Under the LOI, the Company advanced MSJ USD 150,000 as an advance payment in connection with the acquisition of either the Columbian or Mexican project.  The LOI provides that the advance is to be repaid by MSJ if the Company declines to proceed with the acquisition of both the Columbian and Mexican projects.  The advance is evidenced by a promissory note from MSJ and is secured by the pledge of 250,000 shares of Tumi Resources Ltd. (“Tumi”), a TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) listed company, registered in the name of MSJ.


Following due diligence, the Company determined not to proceed with the acquisition of either the Columbian or the Mexican projects.  On April 1, 2005, the Company demanded the return of the USD 150,000 refundable acquisition payment but, to date, such repayment has not occurred.  As at May 31, 2007, shares of Tumi closed at $0.93 on the TSXV, representing a gross value for the pledged securities of $232,500.  The Company has written down the deposit to a value of $100,000.

9,720,305


a)  Mackenzie Project, British Columbia, Canada


Pursuant to an agreement dated May 2, 2005 between the Company and five individuals (the “Vendors”), the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Mackenzie Project, which is comprised of 118 mineral claims located in east-central British Columbia approximately 150 kilometres north of Prince George.  In order to acquire a 100% interest, the Company is required to:


1)

Pay the Vendors $80,000 (paid) and issue 100,000 common shares (issued) within 10 days of TSXV acceptance of the acquisition (received June 10, 2005);

2)

Pay the Vendors an additional $25,000 (paid) and issue an additional 200,000 common shares on or before June 10, 2006 (issued);

3)

Pay the Vendors an additional $25,000 and issue an additional 250,000 common shares on or before June 10, 2007; and

4)

Pay the Vendors an additional $25,000 and issue an additional 250,000 common shares on or before June 10, 2008.


The Vendors retain a 2% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) on any production.  The Company may purchase 50% of the NSR, being 1%, for payment of $1,000,000 at any time until June 10, 2026.


Based on the results of the exploration work, the Company returned the property to the vendors and wrote off the investment of $1,969,739 as of May 31, 2007.


b)

Madero Uranium Project, Argentina


Pursuant to an agreement dated July 11, 2005 (“LOI”) between the Company and the individual shareholders of Madero Minerals S.A. (“Madero”), a private Argentinean corporation, the Company has the option (subject to regulatory acceptance - received October 21, 2005) to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Madero from its shareholders.  In order to exercise the option, the Company is required to pay the shareholders USD 100,000 (paid) and issue the shareholders an aggregate of 600,000 common shares, as follows: 100,000 shares 10 days after regulatory acceptance (issued), 200,000 shares on or before November 8, 2006 (issued), and 300,000 shares on or before November 8, 2007.


At the time of the execution of the LOI, Madero held, or had applied for, 17 prospective uranium properties in Argentina.  Based upon initial work completed by the Company, 15 of the properties have been dropped, and further work has focused on the two remaining projects, Alemania and Amblayo.  In addition, subsequent to the execution of the LOI, Madero has continued to actively seek out and apply for/acquire additional prospective uranium properties which would be acquired by the Company upon the exercise of the option to acquire Madero.  Although Madero believes that the majority of such applications will be successful, there can be no assurance that all or any of such cateos will be granted.  Madero may determine to abandon some of such applications in order to secure title to others of the cateos applied for.


c)

Diamante Los Patos, Argentina


The Diamante Los Patos Property consists of 16 cateos (“exploration concessions”) and 13 minas (“exploitation concessions”) covering an area of approximately 156,361 hectares, which have been applied for by Madero on behalf of the Company.  Of these, 8 cateos (approximately 56,816 hectares) have been granted, while the balance of the cateos and the minas have been applied for but not yet granted.  The minas cover portions of the property subject to 4 of the granted cateos (which cateos will be dropped in conjunction with the grant of the minas, leaving an aggregate of 12 cateos and 13 minas).  The data which led to the discovery of the Diamante-Los Patos project was supplied by two prospectors, and in consideration of being provided with such data, the Company agreed to issue to the prospectors an aggregate of 100,000 common shares (issued).  If the Company does not exercise the option to acquire Madero (Note 7(b)), the Diamante-Los Patos properties will be transferred by Madero to the Company’s nominee.


d)

Radiante I Property, Peru


Pursuant to an agreement dated April 7, 2006, the Company acquired a 100% interest the Radiante I property, comprised of one mining concession in the Province of Carabaya, Peru, from Minera San Isidro S.A.C., a private Peruvian corporation, for 200,000 common shares (issued).

f)

i)

San Jorge Basin Properties, Peru


Pursuant to an option agreement dated March 13, 2007 between the Company and two Peruvian individuals, the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in and to 20 cateos (exploration concessions) located in the province of Chubut, Argentina in consideration of the issuance of an aggregate of 50,000 shares, as to 10,000 shares (issued) 21 days after TSXV acceptance (May 23, 2007) of the agreement and as to an additional 10,000 shares on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of such acceptance.

Title to Mineral Properties


Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties.  The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties for which titles have been issued are in good standing.

STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Under its existing accounting policy for stock options, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of options granted on or after November 30, 2003, and provided certain pro-forma disclosure for the fair value of options granted up to November 30, 2003.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted.  The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results.  Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values.  For purposes of the calculation and disclosures, the following assumptions were used:

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “2004 Plan”).  The essential elements of the 2004 Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2004 Plan may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of the granting of the options.  Options granted under the 2004 Plan will have a maximum term of five years.  The exercise price of options granted under the 2004 Plan will not be less than the discounted market price of the common shares (defined as the last closing market price of the Company’s common shares immediately preceding the issuance of a news release announcing the granting of the options, less the maximum discount permitted under TSXV policies), or such other price as may be agreed to by the Company and accepted by the TSXV.  Options granted under the 2004 Plan vest immediately, except for options granted to consultants conducting investor relation activities which will become vested with the right to exercise one-fourth of the option upon the conclusion of each three month period subsequent to the date of the grant of the option, unless otherwise determined by the directors at the date of grant.


The current fiscal period stock-based compensation expense of $ 2,812,133 (2006 - $266,860) was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.  The expenses were based on options vested in the period and the following newly issued grants:


a)

December 5, 2006: options to acquire up to 400,000 shares granted to directors and exercisable at $2.00 per share for two years.


b)

February 28, 2007: options to acquire up to 500,000 shares granted to directors, officers and consultants and exercisable at $3.10 per share for two years.


c)

March 9, 2007: options granted to underwriters to acquire up to 280,000 underwriters’ compensation warrants, each underwriters’ warrant being exercisable to acquire one share at a price of $2.00 per share until March 9, 2009.


d)

April 11, 2007: options to acquire up to 525,000 shares granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants and exercisable at $4.74 per share for two years.


 

The stock-based compensation expenses were charged against income, resource properties or share issuance costs in the periods granted, with the corresponding credit to contributed surplus.  Upon exercise, a proportionate amount is credited to capital stock. The expenses were allocated as follows:

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)

The Company has entered into a month to month arrangement for the rental of office premises and the provision of administrative services.

b)

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations.  Environmental legislation, in the countries in which the Company is currently performing exploration work, is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and heightened degree of responsibilities for companies and their officers, directors and employees.  Although, presently, compliance with such laws is not a significant factor in the Company’s operations, there is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

As at May 31, 2007, the Company has the following mineral property commitments over the next two years (all of which are payable/issuable at the sole option of the Company):

UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.  Except as set out below, these consolidated financial statements also comply, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Stock-Based Compensation


The United States Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB25”).  This statement uses the intrinsic value based method whereby compensation cost is recorded for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price over the exercise price, at the date the stock options are granted.  As at November 30, 2003, no compensation cost would have been recorded for any period under this method.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), issued in October 1995, requires the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock options.


Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the options granted and is recognized over the exercise period.  SFAS 123 allows the Company to continue to measure the compensation cost of employees and directors in accordance with APB 25.


Prior to 2004, Canadian generally accepted accounting principles did not require the reporting of any stock -based compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of incentive stock options at the grant date.  As at May 31, 2007 cumulative compensation expense totalled $4,535,291 (November 30, 2006 - $1,723,138).  In determining the fair value of the incentive stock options, the following assumptions, on a weighted average basis, were used:

Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”).  SFAS No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the tax rates in effect in the years when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.


Exploration expenditures


Under Canadian GAAP, acquisition costs and exploration expenditures are deferred as explained in Note 2.


Under U.S. GAAP, exploration costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization are expensed as incurred.  Commercial feasibility is established in compliance with Industry Guide 7, which consists of identifying that part of a mineral deposit that could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.  After an area of interest has been assessed as commercially feasible, expenditures specific to the area of interest for further development are capitalized.  In deciding when an area of interest is likely to be commercially feasible, management may consider, among other factors, the results of pre-feasibility studies, detailed analysis of drilling results, the supply and cost of required labour and equipment, and whether necessary mining and environmental permits can be obtained.


Under U.S. GAAP, mining projects and properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.  If estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the mining project or property are less than the capitalized costs, an impairment is recognized based upon the estimated fair value of the mining project or property.  Fair value generally is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows for each mining project or property, calculated using estimated mineable reserves and mineral resources based on engineering reports, projected rates of production over the estimated mine life, recovery rates, capital requirements, remediation costs and future prices considering the Company’s hedging and marketing plans.


Trading securities and available-for-sale securities


Under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or quoted market value.  Long-term investments are recorded at cost and only written down when there is evidence of a decline in value below carried value that is other than temporary.  Holding gains are never recognized.


Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”), unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in Statements of Operations.  Temporary unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from Statements of Operations and reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized.


Comprehensive Income


SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, addresses standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.  Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income.  Other comprehensive income represents revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under United States generally accepted accounting principles.


For the periods ended May 31, 2007 and 2006 there were no other items of comprehensive income.


Loss per share


SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” simplifies the computation of income (loss) per share by replacing the presentation of primary earnings (loss) per share with a presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share, as defined.  The statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share by entities with complex capital structures.  Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.


Recent accounting pronouncements


a)

In March 2005, the Emerging Issue Task Force issued EITF Issue 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry” (“EITF Issue 04-6”), stating that post-production stripping costs are a component of mineral inventory costs subject to the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting Research Bulletin No.43, “Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins, Chapter 4”, “Inventory Pricing”, (“ARB No.43”).  Based upon this statement, post production stripping costs are considered as costs of the extracted minerals under a full absorption costing system and are recognized as a component of inventory to be recognized in costs of sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of the inventory.  In addition, capitalization of such costs would be appropriate only to the extent inventory exists at the end of a reporting period.  The provisions will be effective for financial statements issued for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted.  The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF Issue 04-6 does not have an impact on its results of operations or financial position since the Company is still in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations.


b)

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”) “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143”.  A conditional asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement.  Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event.  FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005, for calendar-year enterprises).  Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but is not required.  The Company does not have any conditional asset retirement obligations.


c)

The following standards issued by the FASB do not impact the Company at this time:


SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.


SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets” - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.


SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB No. 3.


SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”.


SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.


SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.


SFAS No, 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”.


SFAS Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”.  This statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP.  SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
