NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Elray Resources, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC on Form SB-2.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as reported in the Company’s registration statement, have been omitted.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

Elray has recurring losses and has a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $42,489 as of December 31, 2007.  Elray's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, Elray has no current source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern.  Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral interests, if found.  Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of mineral interests.  


NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTY

During the period ended March 31, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% interest in a mining claim, as well as a technical mining report on the property, in the Osoyoos mining district of British Columbia, Canada for cash consideration of $ 3,500.  The consideration was paid by the director of the Company and the debt was subsequently settled for shares.  The property is being held in trust for the Company by a third party.  

As there are no proven mineral reserves on the property, Elray has recorded an impairment of $ 3,500 related to the cost of property and report acquisition.


NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS


Elray neither owns nor leases any real or personal property, an officer has provided office services without charge.  Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein.  The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.


A shareholder of the Company has offered a shareholder loan facility up to $ 70,000.  The loan facility bears interest at 5% per annum and would be required to be repaid on demand after June 30, 2008.  As at December 31, 2007, the amount outstanding under the shareholder loan facility was $ nil.










ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION  


Forward-looking statements


This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains "forward-looking statements" relating to the registrant which represent the registrant's current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning registrant’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth.  For this purpose, any statement contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, ability of registrant to continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the registrant's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the Company’s audited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2007.


OVERVIEW


Elray Resource, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2006.


We are in the business of precious minerals exploration. We currently own one mineral claim only, named the DL Claim, situated near the Town of Osoyoos in southern British Columbia, Canada. We do not have any current plans to acquire interests in additional mineral properties, though we may consider such acquisitions in the future.  


The DL Claim is the subject of a geological report prepared by James W. McLeod, P. Geo., dated December 23, 2006. According to the report, the deposit types that historically predominate in the general area of the DL Claim are the porphyry-type base and precious metal (copper-gold-palladium or copper-molybdenum) occurrences with peripheral base and precious metal occurrences as veins and/or contact zones of mineralization. The primary focus of our planned exploration activities will be to find commercially viable deposits of gold.


There is no assurance that a commercially viable precious minerals deposit exists on the DL Claim property.


Plan of Operation


Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of the DL Claim property.


Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases.  Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. In his geological report, Mr. McLeod recommends a three phase process of exploration.   Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with the next phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program.


We have completed Phase One explorations. If warranted by results from Phase One, we will conduct Phase Two explorations. Our business plans after the next 12 months will depend upon the results from preceding exploration activities. Assuming Phase Three exploration activities are warranted by the results from Phase Two exploration activities, we will execute Phase Three exploration plans after the next 12 months.


Even if we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve. This will necessitate raising additional funds, as the funds available to us through equity investments and shareholder loan commitments will not be sufficient to carry us forward.


If our exploration activities indicate that there are no commercially viable gold deposits on our mineral claim, we will abandon the claim and stake a new claim to explore in British Columbia. We will continue to stake and explore claims in British Columbia as long as we can afford to do so.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three Months Ended December 31, 2007


Revenues


We did not generate any revenues during the reporting period.


Expenses


Professional fees were $11,824, exploration expenses were $6,900 and other expenses were $1,545 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. 


Net Loss


We incurred net losses from operations of $20,269 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and $42,489 for the period from inception on December 13, 2006 through December 31, 2007.


Nine Months Ended December 31, 2007


Revenues


We did not generate any revenues during the reporting period.


Expenses


Professional fees were $19,909, exploration expenses were $6,900 and other expenses were $5,491 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. 


Net Loss


We incurred net losses from operations of $32,300 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and $42,489 for the period from inception on December 13, 2006 through December 31, 2007.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from the sale of common stock. Uses of funds have included activities to establish our business, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.


The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2007 consisted of $15,386 in cash and cash equivalents and a shareholder loan facility from a director and principal shareholder.


Under the shareholder loan facility from Shaun D. Langford, loan advances to or on behalf of Elray bear interest at 5% per annum, calculated and compounded annually, not in advance. Elray is required to repay the outstanding principal and interest at any time after June 30, 2008, on demand. Prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest may be made by Elray at any time without notice, bonus or penalty.


The amount outstanding under shareholder loan facilities was $ nil as of December 31, 2007.


We believe the Company will have adequate resources to implement its strategic objectives in upcoming quarters. Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, however, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Material Events and Uncertainties


Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable exploration stage companies.


There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.


ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure controls and procedures
