Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of Lumina Resources Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lumina Resources Corp. (An Exploration Stage Enterprise) and subsidiaries, as at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (February 28, 2005) to March 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards generally accepted in Canada. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lumina Resources Corp. and subsidiaries as at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (February 28, 2005) to March 31, 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information related to the nature of effect of these differences is presented in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our previous report dated May 12, 2006 has been withdrawn and the financial statements have been restated as explained in Note 1(b).

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     
(a)

Operations

     

Lumina Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 28, 2005, pursuant to the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and was inactive until May 19, 2005. On this date, Lumina Copper Corp. (“Lumina”) completed a reorganization, by way of a statutory plan of arrangement, and restructured into four separate companies, the existing company, which changed its name to Regalito Copper Corp., and three new companies. Shareholders of Lumina received one share of each of the three new companies for each share held in the existing company.

     

The Company is one of the three new companies formed under the reorganization. The Company received all of the issued and outstanding shares of CRS Copper Resources Corp. (“CRS”) and Moraga Resources Ltd. (“Moraga”), which together hold a 100% interest in the Hushamu, Redstone and Casino properties. The Company also received cash and other assets from Lumina. In consideration, the Company issued 20,917,441 common shares. The shares were valued at $5,994,970, being the aggregate value of the cash received and the carrying value of the vended net assets, at the date of the reorganization. As the reorganization of Lumina resulted in no substantive change in the beneficial ownership of Lumina and the ownership interests of the Company were identical to that of Lumina on the date of reorganization, the vended net assets have been recorded at their carrying values to Lumina on the date of reorganization.

     

The net assets acquired by the Company on May 19, 2005 were as follows:


  Cash $  3,791,427  
  Net working capital   35,667  
  Mineral properties   2,167,876  
         
      5,994,970  
  Future income tax liability assumed (Note 10)   (668,151 )
         
    $  5,326,819  

 

Pursuant to anti-dilution provisions of options and warrants outstanding in Lumina on the date of reorganization, the Company granted options for the purchase of up to 875,000 common shares to holders of Lumina options (Note 7) and issued warrants for the purchase of up to 100,000 common shares (Note 8).

     
 

The Company is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resources and is considered to be in the exploration stage as it has not placed any of its mineral properties into production.

     
 

The Company has entered into mineral property acquisition and option agreements that will require future outlays of cash in order to maintain the properties and options in good standing or in order to fulfil contractual obligations. The Company’s continuing operations as intended are dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances, asset sales or a combination thereof.

     
  (b)

Restatement

     
 

As disclosed in Note 1(a), the Company granted options for the purchase of up to 875,000 common shares to the holders of Lumina options on the date of the reorganization.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


  (a)

Principles of presentation

     
 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. As described in note 13, these principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     
 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and they include the accounts of Lumina Resources Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CRS and Moraga.

     
  (b)

Management estimates

     
 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     
  (c)

Cash and cash equivalents

     
 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within ninety days of purchase.

     
  (d)

Equipment

     
 

Equipment is stated at cost. Amortization is provided on the declining balance basis on furniture and office equipment at 20% per annum and on computer equipment at 30% per annum.

     
  (e)

Mineral properties

     
 

The Company capitalizes all direct 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 sold or the mineral rights are allowed to lapse.

     
 

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 estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount less 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. Where the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the Company or the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

F17.3-9

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


 

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 claims allowed to lapse.

     
 

Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral 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 or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

     
  (f)

Stock based compensation

     
 

The Company follows the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.” This Section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services. This standard requires that all stock- based awards made to employees and non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method.

     
  (g)

Income taxes

     
 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the period for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the potential benefit of income tax losses carried forward to future years.

     
 

Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent it is considered not likely that future income tax assets will be realized.

     
  (h)

Amounts per share

     
 

Amounts per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate fully diluted earnings per share. Diluted per share amounts are not presented as the effect of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive. 1,298,000 stock options and 100,000 warrants were excluded from the earning per share calculation as at March 31, 2006.

     
  (i)

Environmental protection practices

     
 

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest.

F17.3-10

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


 

The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company.

     
  (j)

Capital stock issued for other than cash

     
 

Capital stock issued for other than cash is valued at the price at which the stock traded on the principal stock exchange on which the stock trades at the time the agreement to issue the stock is made or, if such issuance is at the option of the Company, at the time the Company determines to issue such stock.

     
  (k)

Flow-through financing

     
 

The Company has financed a portion of its exploration activities through the issue of flow- through shares, which transfer the tax deductibility of exploration expenditures to the investor. The proceeds received on the issue of such shares have been credited to capital stock. Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration and development activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation. When these expenditures are renounced, temporary taxable differences created by the renunciation will reduce share capital.

     
  (l)

Asset retirement obligations

     
 

The Company recognizes the fair value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations in the period in which a reasonable estimate of such costs can be made. The asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long- lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement cost is allocated to expenses using a systematic and rational method and is also adjusted to reflect period-to-period changes in the liability resulting from passage of time and revisions to either timing or the amount of the original estimate of the undiscounted cash flow. As at March 31, 2006, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.

  (a)

Hushamu Property

     
 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Hushamu Property, which consists of 163 mineral claims located on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Should a production decision be made to commercially develop these claims, a payment of $1,000,000 is payable to a former owner. In addition, the claims are subject to a 10% net profits interest royalty.

     
 

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated February 3, 2005, the Company obtained an option to acquire a 100% interest in 54 mineral claims located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada in consideration of cash payments in the aggregate of $200,000, payable over a three year period (as of March 31, 2006, $40,000 paid by the Company, $20,000 paid by the predecessor company). Should a production decision be made, an additional $800,000, payable in cash or in shares at the Company’s election, will be paid to the optionor. The mineral claims comprise 14,600 hectares surrounding the Company’s Hushamu Property.

     
 

As additional consideration for this option, the Company granted the right to the optionor to explore and exploit the Hushamu claims for non-metallic industrial minerals, subject to the Company’s right to terminate such activities should such right conflict with the Company’s plans for the property.

     
  (b)

Redstone Property

     
 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Redstone Property which consists of 55 mineral claims and 5 mineral leases expiring in 2013 covering 60 units in the Coates Lake area of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The mineral leases are subject to a net smelter return royalty of 3% to 4%, depending on the average price of copper at the time of production.

STOCK OPTIONS

     
(a)

Options Outstanding

     

Pursuant to the reorganization of Lumina (Note 1(a)), holders of Lumina options received options to purchase the same number of common shares of the Company at exercise prices deemed to be 0.8% of the original exercise price of the Lumina options. Options to acquire 875,000 common shares were granted in this connection.

     

Under the Company’s stock option plan, the board of directors may grant options for the purchase of up to a total of 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Options granted under the plan vest over time at the discretion of the board of directors. Exercise prices on options granted under the plan are determined by reference to the market value on the date of the grant,

Weighted average:  
     Risk-free interest rate 3.10%
     Expected dividend yield -
     Expected stock price volatility 99%
     Expected option life in years 2
   

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

WARRANTS

   

Pursuant to the reorganization of Lumina (Note 1(a)), warrants were issued by Lumina that enable the holder to acquire up to 100,000 common shares of each of the four companies created under the reorganization (“Lumina Warrants”). The Lumina Warrants were exercisable until March 14, 2007 at $9.22 per share from which the Company would receive 0.76% of the proceeds or $0.07 per exercise. The Lumina Warrants were not exercisable except to acquire common shares of all four companies concurrently.

   

On February 14, 2006, the Lumina Warrants were cancelled. The Company issued replacement warrants for the acquisition of up to 100,000 common shares exercisable at a price of $0.07 per share to March 14, 2007 and exercisable independently of the warrants issued by the other companies created under the amalgamation. The replacements were accounted for as a modification of the Lumina warrants and did not result in an increase in value of the warrants.

FLOW-THROUGH SHARES

   

Flow-through shares entitle a company that incurs certain resource expenditures in Canada to renounce them for tax purposes allowing the expenditures to be deducted for income tax purposes by the investors who purchased the shares. A future income tax liability arises from the renunciation of mineral exploration costs to investors of flow-through shares.

   

In December, 2004, Lumina Copper Corp. raised $2,135,000 from the issuance of flow-through shares for its subsidiary at the time, CRS (Note 1(a)). Substantially all the proceeds raised by the issuance of the flow-through shares have been spent on qualified mineral exploration expenditures by CRS after the reorganization (while CRS was a subsidiary of the Company) while the exploration costs were renounced by Lumina Copper Corp. before the reorganization. As such, the mineral properties transferred to the Company as part of the reorganization have a tax basis that is less than their accounting basis to the extent that exploration expenditures had been renounced by Lumina Copper Corp. before the May 19, 2005 reorganization thus resulting in the assumption of a future income tax liability by the Company as a result of the reorganization.

   

This future income tax liability has been recorded as an increase in the Company’s deficit on the date of the reorganization.

   
11.

SEGMENTED DISCLOSURE

   

The Company has one operating segment, mineral exploration, and all capital assets of the Company are located in Canada.

INCOME TAXES

   

As at March 31, 2006, the Company has non-capital losses of approximately $703,000 which may be applied against future income for income tax purposes to the year 2016. The potential future tax benefits of these losses have not been recorded in these financial statements.

   

The reconciliation of the Company’s income tax provision computed at statutory rates to the reported income tax provision is as follows:


      2006     2005  
               
      34.50%     35.62%  
               
  Income tax benefit computed at Canadian statutory rates $  160,127   $  -

  Other differences   17,366     -  
  Unrecognized tax losses   (96,891 )   -  
               
    $  -   $  -  

Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount of the balance sheet items and their corresponding tax values as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are likely to be realized. Significant components of the Company’s future tax assets and liabilities, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, are as follows:

      2006     2005  
  Future income tax assets

MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differ from those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with GAAP, as described below.


  a)

Mineral property exploration expenditures

     
 

Mineral property exploration expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP as disclosed in note 2.

     
 

For U.S. GAAP purposes, mineral property exploration expenditures are expensed when incurred until it can be proven that economically viable reserves are present in the property and the Company has the ability and intention to pursue exploitation of these reserves.

     
 

Mineral property development expenditures incurred subsequent to the determination of the feasibility of mining operations are capitalized until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred.

     
 

Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair value of common shares and warrants issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. Mineral properties are written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse, abandoned, or when impairment in the value has been determined to have occurred. Mineral property sales proceeds or option payments received for exploration rights are treated as cost recoveries.

     
  b)

Comprehensive Income

     
 

U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) which is intended to reflect all other changes in equity except those resulting from contributions by, and payments to owners. The Company has no other comprehensive income items and therefore earnings (loss) is the same as comprehensive income (loss).

     
  c)

Income taxes

     
 

Under Canadian GAAP, future income taxes are calculated based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years. Under U.S. GAAP, only enacted rates are used in the calculation of future income taxes. This GAAP difference did not result in a difference in the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2006.

Recent U.S. accounting pronouncements

       
  i)

The Company follows SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which is the equivalent of CICA Section 3110. In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, to clarify when sufficient information would be available to reasonable estimate the timing and cost of performing a conditional asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 applies to fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Its application has not had an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

       
  ii)

At the September 29 and 30, 2004 and the November 17 and 18, 2004 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) meetings, the EITF discussed Issue 04-10, Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds (“EITF 04-10). EITF 04-10 concludes that a company, when determining if operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds of FASB Statement No 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”) should be aggregated, may aggregate such operating segments only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principle of SFAS No. 131, that they have similar economic characteristics, and that the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in (a) through (e) of paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131. The consensus in EITF 04-10 should be applied for fiscal years ending after September 15, 2005. The application of this consensus does not affect the presentation of the Company’s operating segment.

       
  iii)

In March 2005, the EITF issued EITF 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry”. The consensus indicated that costs of removing overburden and waste materials (“stripping costs”) after production begins, represent variable production costs and should be considered a component of mineral inventory cost subject to the guidance in Chapter 4 of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 “Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins”. EITF 04-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and upon adoption, can be applied by either retroactively restating prior periods or using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company believes that this Statement will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

       
  iv)

In September 2005, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. This is a change from the existing practice that requires most accounting changes to be accounted for by including in net income in the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in

LUMINA RESOURCES CORP.

fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. The impact of SFAS 154 cannot be determined until such time the Company makes a change in accounting policy.

     
  v)

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 123R-4 “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event.” FSP FAS 123R-4 addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event and amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of SFAS 123R. The Company was required to apply the guidance in FSP FAS 123R-4 in the current year. Its adoption has not had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


  e)

Recent Canadian accounting pronouncements

       
  i)

In January 2005, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement.” It prescribes when a financial asset, financial liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount, requiring fair value or cost-based measures under different circumstances. It also specifies how financial instrument gains and losses are to be presented. It applies to interim and annual financial statements for fiscal periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and will be adopted by the Company on April 1, 2007. Transitional provisions vary based on the type of financial instruments under consideration. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

       
  ii)

CICA Handbook Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, was issued in January 2005 to introduce new standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is the change in equity (net assets) of a company during a reporting period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except for changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. It applies to interim and annual financial statements for fiscal periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006 and will be adopted by the Company on April 1, 2007. Financial statements for prior periods will be required to be restated for certain comprehensive income items. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

       
  iii)

In September 2005, the CICA issued Section 3831 “Non-monetary Transactions”. This section supersedes Section 3830 “Non-monetary Transactions” and establishes standards for the measurement and disclosure of non-monetary transactions and defines when an exchange of assets is measured at fair value and when an exchange of assets is measured at carrying amount. Section 3831 applies to all non-monetary transactions initiated in periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006. The application of Section 3831 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

       
  iv)

The CICA replaced Section 3250, “Surplus”, with Section 3251, “Equity”, establishing standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during a reporting period. This pronouncement applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The Company plans to adopt this standard beginning on April 1, 2007. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.
