Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

(An exploration and development stage company)

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010


1.

NATURE OF 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. and New Millennium Metals Corporation (“New Millennium”). The Company is an exploration and development company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the significant policies outlined below.


(a)

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The financial statements of entities which are controlled by the Company through voting equity interest, referred to as subsidiaries, are consolidated. Variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which include, but are not limited to, special purpose entities, trusts, partnerships and other legal structures, as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities’ expected losses and/or residual returns.  The Company does not currently have any VIEs.


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”) (and in turn PTM RSA’s wholly-owned subsidiary Wesplats Holdings (Proprietary) Limited (“Wesplats”) and the 54.75% owned subsidiary Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd. (“Maseve”). PTM RSA holds mineral rights and conducts operations in the Republic of South Africa. Wesplats owns surface rights areas overlying and adjacent to mineral rights held by PTM RSA and on behalf of the Company.  Maseve holds a 100% interest in Projects 1 and 3 of the former Western Bushveld Joint Venture (“WBJV”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. They have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of applications as the latest annual consolidated financial statements except for the adoption of Section 3064 as indicated in note 2(m). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The information contained in these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2009.


(b)

Short-term investments

Short-term investments comprise guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of more than 90 days and less than one year.

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010



(c)

Mineral properties, surface rights, and deferred exploration and development costs

Mineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions, options, contracts and certain surface rights. Surface rights that have no associated mineral title and which are owned by the Company outright are shown separately. Acquisition and leasehold costs, exploration costs and surface rights are capitalized until such time as the property is put into production or disposed of either through sale or abandonment. Development expenditures incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability and upon receipt of project development approval from the Board of Directors are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related property. If put into production, the costs of acquisition, exploration and development will be amortized over the life of the property based on estimated economic reserves. If a property is abandoned, the property and deferred exploration costs are written off to operations.


Management of the Company reviews and evaluates the carrying value of each mineral property and its mineral investments for impairment regularly. Where estimates of future net cash flows are available and the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and assets are written down to fair value.  Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available, management assesses whether the carrying value can be recovered by considering alternative methods of determining fair value. When it is determined that a mineral property is impaired it is written down to its estimated fair value.


(d)

Cash and cash equivalents

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


(e)

Reclamation and closure costs

The Company recognizes the estimated fair value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations including reclamation and closure costs in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. The liability is adjusted for changes in estimate at each reporting period and is accreted over time to the estimated asset retirement obligation ultimately payable through charges to operations.


The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamation and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in technology and the means and cost of reclamation. Based on management’s estimates, the Company has determined that there are no significant reclamation liabilities as at period end.


(f)

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.

 (g)

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are amortized at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment and software

          30% declining balance

Office furniture and equipment

          20% declining balance

Vehicles

30% declining balance

Leasehold improvements

          2 years straight line


 (h)

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.


The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. In periods when a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and share purchase warrants would be anti-dilutive, and accordingly basic and diluted loss per share are the same.


(i)

Measurement uncertainty

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 disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the reporting period. Significant items where management’s judgement is applied include the assessment of impairment of long-lived assets, amortization, income tax provisions, contingent liabilities, and stock-based compensation and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(j)

Translation of foreign currencies

These consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars. For integrated foreign operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates and other assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses on translation of monetary assets and monetary liabilities are charged to operations.


(k)

Stock-based compensation

The fair values for all stock-based awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes model and recorded in operations over the period of vesting. The compensation cost related to stock options granted is recorded in operations or capitalized to mineral properties, as applicable.


Cash received on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus is reclassified to share capital.

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010



 (l)

Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, amounts due from project partners, performance bonds, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.


Cash and cash equivalents are recognized at their fair value.  The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity or their capacity of prompt liquidation.


(m)

New accounting pronouncements

Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. In February 2008, the CICA issued the new pronouncement establishing revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets.  The new standard also provides guidance for  the  treatment  of  preproduction  and  startup  costs  and  requires  that  these  costs  be expensed  as  incurred. The new standard applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Section 3064 was adopted September 1, 2009, and doing so has had no effect.

In July 2009, the CICA approved amendments to Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures. The amendments require additional fair value disclosure for financial instruments and liquidity risk disclosures. These amendments require a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value assessments. The amendments to Section 3862 apply for financial statements relating to fiscal years ending after September 30, 2009. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.


In January 2009, The CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations, Section 1601, Consolidations, and Section 1602, Non-controlling Interests. These sections replace the former CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations and Section 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. CICA Handbook Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination, and states that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business will be recorded at fair value. Obligations for contingent considerations and contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The standard also states that acquisition related costs will be expensed as incurred and that restructuring charges will be expensed in the periods after the acquisition date. The section applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

CICA Handbook Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

CICA Handbook Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in the preparation of consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination.

CICA Handbook Section 1601 and Section 1602 apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier adoption of these sections is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year.

 

 

 

All three sections must be adopted concurrently. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the sections.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

(An exploration and development stage company)

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010



a)

Projects 1 & 3


On October 26, 2004 the Company entered into the WBJV with a subsidiary of Anglo Platinum Limited (“Anglo”) and Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited (“Africa Wide”) to pursue platinum exploration and development on combined mineral rights covering approximately 67 square kilometres on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa. The Company contributed all of its interests in portions of the farms Onderstepoort 98JQ and Elandsfontein 102JQ. Anglo contributed its interests in portions of the farms Koedoesfontein 94JQ, Elandsfontein 102JQ and Frischgewaagd 96JQ. Later, in 2007, Anglo Platinum contributed its 50% interest in Portion 11 of the farm Frischgewaagd bringing the total area of the WBJV to approximately 72 square kilometres. The Company and Anglo Platinum each held a 37% working interest in the WBJV, while Africa Wide held a 26% working interest.  The area of the WBJV was comprised of three functional areas described as Project 1 (100% WBJV), Project 2 (50% WBJV: 50% Wesizwe Platinum Ltd.) and Project 3 (100% WBJV).  In April 2007 the shareholders of Africa Wide sold 100% of their company to Wesizwe Platinum Ltd (“Wesizwe”) and since then Wesizwe has become responsible for all of the rights and obligations of Africa Wide.


The Company published a Feasibility Study for Project 1 of the WBJV in July 2008 and later an Updated Feasibility Study in October 2009.  Based on the WBJV resource estimate contained in the July 2008 Feasibility Study, and under the terms of the original WBJV agreement, each party was allocated an equalization amount due or payable based upon their contribution of measured, indicated, and inferred ounces of combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (“4E”) from the contributed properties comprising the WBJV.  Inferred ounces were credited at US$0.50 per ounce, indicated ounces at US$3.20 per ounce and measured ounces at US$6.20 per ounce.  Ounces contributed to the WBJV by Anglo in 2007 from a 50% interest in Portion 11 of the Farm Frischgewaagd 96 JQ, a property in Project 2, received an equalization credit of US$0.62 per inferred ounce, US$10.37 per indicated ounce and US$39.55 per measured ounce.  On April 22, 2010 the Company paid its equalization amount due to Anglo in the amount of $ 24.83 million (R 186.26 million).


Also on April 22, 2010, the partners of the WBJV completed a transaction first announced September 2, 2008 whereby the WBJV was dissolved with the following outcomes:


·

The Company and Wesizwe transferred a collective 100% interest in Projects 1 and 3 into new operating company Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd in exchange for shares of Maseve. Subsequent to this transaction, the Company owned 37% of Maseve.  

·

The Company sold its 18.5% interest in Project 2 to Wesizwe in exchange for an additional 17.25% interest in Maseve.

·

Anglo became a shareholder of Wesizwe Platinum Limited.

·

The Company holds 54.75% of Maseve with a right to subscribe for a further 19.25% interest for Rand 408.6 million (approx. $55.67 million) to bring its holdings to 74%, with Wesizwe holding the remaining interest.


Any additional subscriptions’ the Company makes in shares of Maseve will be held in escrow to be applied towards Wesizwe’s capital requirements for Projects 1 and 3.  The subscription into Maseve is due by January 22, 2011.  The Company may make partial subscriptions.


The sale of the Company’s 18.5% interest in Project 2 was accounted for as an arm’s length transaction at a fair market value of $65.42 million on April 22, 2010, versus an historic cost of $19.80 million, for a gain of $45.62 million.  The transfer of the Company’s 37% interest in Projects 1 and 3 into Maseve was accounted for as a reorganization of existing business and was transferred into Maseve at book cost.  The April 22, 2010 transactions qualified for relief from capital gains tax in accordance with South African tax law.

(b)

Surface Rights


In 2004 the Company acquired surface and mineral rights to 365.64 hectares of the farm Elandsfontein 102 JQ in exchange for total payments of approximately $1.4 million.  The benefit of these rights became part of the WBJV under the original 2004 agreement.  The Elandsfontein mineral titles were transferred to project operating company Maseve on April 22, 2010 while the surface rights, valued at half of the original acquisition cost, remain under title to the Company and a 45.25% credit of approximately $316,750 was applied to amounts due to/from Wesizwe in recognition of their attributable portion of the surface rights.


During 2008 the Company purchased surface rights adjacent to the WBJV Project 1 deposit area measuring 216.27 hectares for Rand 8.0 million (approx. $1.09 million) and the Company also acquired surface rights directly over a portion of the WBJV Project 1 deposit area measuring 358.79 hectares for an amount of Rand 15.07 million (approx. $2.07 million).  The rights to these two properties are to the benefit of the Company alone and are distinct from the 365.64 hectare Elandsfontein Farm described above.


(c)

Rock Winders


During 2008 the Company acquired two rock winders at a cost of R 16.6 million (approx. $2,269,220) on behalf of the WBJV for use on a possible shaft facility for Project 1 of the WBJV.  Later designs excluded the use of winders and these winders have been held for sale.  They remain under title to the Company.  On April 22, 2010 the Company applied a 45.25% credit for $1,026,822 to the amount due to/from Wesizwe in recognition of their attributable share of the winders.  Subsequent to period end the Company entered into a sale agreement whereby one winder will be sold for US $1.28 million (approx. R 9.6 million) and a deposit of 50% was received on June 23, 2010.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives in managing its liquidity and capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide financial capacity to meet its strategic objectives. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to common shareholders, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income and accumulated deficit.


The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets.


In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary based on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors. The Company does not currently declare or pay out dividends.


As at May 31, 2010, the Company does not have any long-term debt and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

9.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks.


(a)

Credit risk


Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.








Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

(An exploration and development stage company)

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010



(i)

Trade credit risk


The Company is an exploration and development company, and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant trade credit risk.


(ii)

Cash and cash equivalents


In order to manage credit and liquidity risk we invest only in term deposits with Canadian Chartered banks that have maturities of three months or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rating.


(iii)

Due from joint venture partners


In order to manage credit risk management regularly reviews amounts outstanding from partners and considers recoverability.


(b)

Liquidity risk


The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements and its exploration and development plans. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors.


Future exploration, development, mining, and processing of minerals from the Company’s properties will require additional financing.  The Company has no credit facilities in place at this time, although it is currently evaluating possible debt financing.  The only other current source of funds available to the Company is the issuance of additional equity capital, which if available, may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that such funding will be available to the Company, or that it will be obtained on terms favourable to the Company.  Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in delaying or indefinite postponement of exploration, development, or production on any or all of the Company’s properties, or even a loss of property interests.


(c)

Currency risk


The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while its operations are in both Canada and South Africa; therefore the Company's net earnings (losses) and other comprehensive earnings (losses) are impacted by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the Canadian dollar. The Company's significant foreign currency exposures on financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, performance bonds, amounts due from WBJV partners, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.


The Company's net loss and other comprehensive loss are affected by changes in the exchange rate between its operating currencies and the Canadian dollar.  At May 31, 2010, based on this exposure a 10% change in the Canadian dollar versus Rand foreign exchange rate would give rise to a change in the loss for the nine month period presented of approximately $239,535.









Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

(An exploration and development stage company)

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010



(d)

Interest rate risk  


The Company’s interest revenue earned on cash and cash equivalents and on short term investments is exposed to interest rate risk. At May 31, 2010, based on this exposure a 1% change in the average interest rate would give rise to an increase/decrease in the loss for the period of approximately $47,824.

10.
