1.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS


The Company is a British Columbia corporation incorporated on February 18, 2002 by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (“Old Platinum”) and New Millennium Metals Corporation (“New Millennium”).  The Company is an exploration company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements principally in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to mineral properties. The recoverability of these amounts is dependant upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses from inception and does not currently have the financial resources to sustain operations in the long-term. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. External financing, predominately by the issuance of equity to the public, will be sought to finance the operations of the Company; however, there is no assurance that sufficient funds will be raised.


These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then significant adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.



2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the following significant policies outlined below. These policies conform, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), except as described in Note 13.


(a)

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (PTY) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”). PTM RSA holds mineral rights and conducts operations in the Republic of South Africa. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(b)

Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs


Mineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions, options and contracts.  Acquisition and leasehold costs and exploration costs are capitalized and deferred until such time as the property is put into production or disposed of either through sale or abandonment. The estimated values of all properties are assessed by management on a quarterly basis and if the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then these costs are written down to fair value. If put into production, the costs of acquisition and exploration will be amortized over the life of the property, based on the estimated economic reserves. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will first be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the property and deferred exploration costs are written off to operations.


(c)

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term money market instruments, which are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less.


(d)

Marketable securities and investments


Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.


Investments where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, generally where the Company has a 20% to 50% equity interest, are accounted for using the equity method.  Under this method, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is included in operations and its investments therein are adjusted by a like amount.  Dividends received from these investments are credited to the investment accounts.


Other long-term investments are accounted for using the cost method, whereby income is included in operations when received or receivable.  


Provisions for impairment of long term investments are made, where necessary, to recognize other than temporary declines in value.  


(e)

Fixed assets


Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are amortized on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:


Computer equipment

30%

Computer software

30%

Office furniture and equipment

20%

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(f)

Stock-based compensation


Effective September 1, 2004, the Company adopted the amended recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.  Under the amended standards of this section, the fair value of all stock-based awards granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes model and are recorded in operations over their vesting periods.  The compensation cost related to stock options granted after September 1, 2004 is recorded in operations.


Previously, the Company provided note disclosure of pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been used to account for share purchase options granted to employees, directors and officers after September 1, 2002.  The amended recommendations have been applied retroactively from September 1, 2002 without restatement of prior periods.  As a result, as of September 1, 2004, the deficit was increased by $318,000, contributed surplus was increased by $304,977, and share capital was increased by $13,023 for share purchase options granted in prior years and exercised in Fiscal 2005.


The total compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations for share purchase options granted in Fiscal 2005 amounted to $1,283,289.  Had the same basis been applied to share purchase options granted in 2004 and 2003, net earnings would have been as follows:

 

2004 2003
Net loss $

2,242,627

$ 1,748,993
Additional compensation expense 241,000 77,000
Pro forma net loss $ 2,483,627 $ 1,825,993
Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share $ (0.08) $ (0.07)

 


For the year ended August 31, 2004, stock-based compensation expense was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming no dividends are to be paid, a weighted average volatility of the Company’s share price of 200%, an annual risk free interest rate of 3.97% and expected lives of 3.47 years.  The weighted average fair value of share purchase options granted in 2004 was $1.04 per option.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(f)

Stock-based compensation (continued)


For the year ended August 31, 2003, stock-based compensation expense was determined using an option pricing model assuming no dividends are to be paid, a weighted average volatility of the Company’s share price of 87%, an annual risk free interest rate of 3.73% and expected lives of 3.50 years.  The weighted average fair value of share purchase options granted in 2003 was $0.57 per option.


Please refer to Note 7 (c) for a summary of stock options granted in the current period and the related valuation assumptions.


(g)

Income taxes


Future income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax values. Future tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment or substantive enactment.


(h)

Earnings (loss) per common share


Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding contingently returnable shares held in escrow.


The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares arising upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.


(i)

Financial instruments


The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and capital lease obligation reflected in the balance sheet approximate their respective carrying values. The fair value of marketable securities are as disclosed on the balance sheet.


Price risk is the risk that the value of the Company’s financial instruments will vary from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

(j)

Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Significant items where management’s judgement is applied include provisions for loss on and the estimated recoverable amount of assets, depreciation, income tax provisions, contingent liabilities, stock compensation and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(k)

Asset retirement obligations


The CICA issued Section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations, which became effective January 1, 2004.  This standard focuses on the recognition and measurement of liabilities related to legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment.  Under this standard, these obligations are initially measured at fair value and subsequently adjusted for the accretion of discount and any changes in the underlying cash flows.  The asset retirement cost is to be capitalized to the related asset and amortized into earnings over time.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

INVESTMENTS


(a)

Active Gold Group Ltd.


At August 31, 2003 the Company held 1,461,905 shares (26.79%) of Active Gold Group Ltd. at a cost of $160,327. Active Gold was a private corporation founded by the Company that attempted to acquire and develop gold projects in South Africa.  Active Gold failed to achieve a prospecting license for its Rooderand Gold Project and the project was abandoned.  The Company is now dormant.  Advances by the Company to Active Gold in the normal course of business during 2003 amounted to $45,487 and in 2004 amounted to $90,062.  In 2003 the Company wrote off its investment in and advances to Active Gold after recognizing its equity in that company’s losses.  Advances in 2004 were written off in the year they occurred.


On September 30, 2004 the Company acquired 1,407,069 shares of Active Gold from six of its other founding shareholders, all of whom were at arm’s length to the Company, in exchange for 399,999 shares (market value $131,200) of Sydney Resource Corporation (“SYR”), paid from the Company’s holdings of that security (see Note 4 (c)). As Active Gold was of nominal value, the transaction was entered into for the purpose of preserving existing business relationships.  PTM, therefore, recorded the exchange as an expense of $131,200.


(b)

MAG Silver Corporation


In 2003 the Company earned a finders’ fee of 200,000 shares of MAG Silver Corporation, a company with one director and one officer in common with the Company, with an assigned value of $0.50 per share for introducing MAG Silver to certain individuals and mineral properties located in Mexico. During 2003 the Company sold 100,000 of these shares for proceeds of $67,630. The remaining 100,000 MAG shares owned by the Company had a market value of $97,000 at November 30, 2005 and are included in marketable securities.


(c)

Sydney Resource Corporation


In 2002 New Millennium granted SYR, a company with two directors in common with the Company, an option to earn a 50% interest in New Millennium’s 100% owned Simlock Creek gold project, located in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia.  On December 2, 2003 the Company and SYR agreed to terminate the Option and the Company then sold the property to SYR outright in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of SYR at a value of $0.20 per share.  At November 30, 2005 the Company held 800,001 SYR shares with an aggregate cost of $160,000.  The shares are included in marketable securities.

(i)

Agnew Lake


The Company has earned a 99% interest in certain claims located near Sudbury, Ontario known as the Agnew Lake property subject to a 2% royalty interest payable to the original vendor. The Company optioned the Agnew Lake property to Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (“PFN”) on June 18, 2000.

War Springs and Tweespalk (continued)


Under the new Minister and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002), which became effective in May 2004, Old Order permits must be converted into New Order permits during a transition period.  This process is underway for the War Springs and Tweespalk properties.  The June 3, 2002 option agreement provides for amendments as may be needed to maintain the parties in the same commercial position as they were in under the preceding mineral legislation and such amendments are yet to be completed.


Black Economic Empowerment groups Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited and Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd. each have been granted a 15% interest in the War Springs project carried to bankable feasibility.  The Company’s retains a net 70% project interest.


Africa Wide also has a 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property.  The Company has not recorded a receivable for Africa Wide’s share of costs to date, which at November 30, 2005 are calculated to be $253,903 (August 31, 2005 - $250,994).  The Company expects that Africa Wide will be able to fund their share of costs in the future and amounts recovered from Africa Wide will be treated as a reduction of costs relating to the Tweespalk property.

Western Bushveld Joint Venture


On October 26, 2004 the Company entered into a joint venture with, Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited and Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited (the “WBJV”) to pursue platinum exploration and development on combined mineral rights covering 67 square km on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa.  The transaction closed effective January 26, 2005. The Company contributed all of its interests in portions of the farms Onderstepoort 98JQ and Elandsfontein 102JQ (see (ii) (1) and (ii) (2) below). Anglo Platinum contributed its interests in portions of the farms Koedoesfontein 94JQ, Elandsfontein 102JQ and Frischgewaagd 96JQ. The Company and Anglo Platinum will each own an initial 37% working interest in the WBJV, while Africa Wide will own an initial 26% working interest. Africa Wide will work with local community groups in order to facilitate their inclusion in the economic benefits of the WBJV in areas such as training, job creation and procurement.


The Company will also operate and fund an exploration program in the amount of Rand 35 million (at August 31, 2005 approx. US$5.4 million; C$6.44 million) over the next five years in order to earn its 37% interest in WBJV. Minimum expenditures in year one of Rand 5 million were completed by the Company before August 31, 2005.  Optional expenditures in years two and three are also

Rand 5 million and in years four and five are Rand 10 million in each year. After R35 million in expenditures have been funded by PTM, the parties will fund their portion of further expenditures pro-rata based on their working interest in the WBJV.


Once a bankable feasibility study has been completed the respective deemed capital contribution of each party will be credited by adding their contribution of measured, indicated, and inferred PGE ounces from the contributed properties comprising the WBJV, determined in accordance with the South African SAMREC code.  Inferred ounces will be credited at US$0.50 per ounce, indicated ounces will be credited at US$3.20 per ounce and measured ounces will be credited at US$6.20 per ounce. Each party will then have the opportunity to contribute additional capital in order to catch up any resulting shortfall in their contributed capital and thereby maintain their respective working interest in the JV. Should a party not wish to participate, the JV agreement provides a mechanism whereby the parties may elect to become “non-contributory” to the JV and by doing so they would be subject to dilution.


The Company has concluded that it has significant influence over the operations of WBJV and has therefore acquired an investment which will be recorded using the equity method.


The initial exchange of the Company’s pre-existing interests in the Elandsfontein and Onderstepoort properties for the interest in WBJV has been recorded at cost as it represents a non-monetary exchange.  The balance paid to date of the Company’s commitment to spend up to R35 million in exploration costs has also been recorded as a cost of the investment and is included under mineral properties.

Elandsfontein interest


In December 2002 the Company acquired an option to purchase 100% of the surface and mineral rights to 365.64 hectares of the farm Elandsfontein 102 JQ located in the Western Bushveld area.

To earn its interests the Company must make aggregate prospecting and option payments over time to the vendors of R12.44 million (approximately C$2.24 million) ending April 2008.  Of this amount R834,000 has been paid.  During 2004 the Company was granted old order prospecting permits on five portions of the farm.  In 2005 the Company was granted New Order prospecting permits on the remaining two farm portions. Certain portions covering 569 ha are subject to the vendors right to participate as to a 7.5% working interest, or to convert 1% NSR royalty, which the Company may buy-back for R 5,000,000 (approximately C $900,000).
