Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Stated in U.S. Dollars) – Page



1.      NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated on December 28, 2001 in the Yukon Territory, Canada and is listed on the TSX Venture exchange. The Company changed its name to Grand Peak Capital Corp. on November 15, 2007. The Company changed its year end from December 31 to September 30 in 2007.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis.  The Company has an accumulated operating deficit of $4.1 million at March 31, 2008 (2007 - $4.0 million). The ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate equity financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations.  Should the Company be unable to continue as a going-concern, the net realizable values of its net assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheets.


2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Basis of Accounting and Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”).  Summarized below are those policies considered particularly significant to the Company. References to the Company included herein are inclusive of the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and operating status are as follows:

Subsidiary
Status
Lucky Minerals Inc.
Active
2801 Shangri-La Ltd.

0808964 B.C. Ltd.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  Estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed at the time to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may differ from those previously estimated.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - cont’d


Key areas where management has made complex or subjective judgements include fair value of certain assets; accounting for amortization; mineral asset impairment assessments; environmental obligations; income taxes and contingencies.

Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions of CICA Sections 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, and 1530, Comprehensive Income, on October 1, 2006 which address the classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments in the financial statements and the inclusion of other comprehensive income.

The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loan payable.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The fair values are the same as the carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

The fair value of marketable securities, and loan payable are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements.

Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration and Development Cost

Mineral properties, including options to mineral claims, are stated at cost.  The recorded cost of mineral properties and exploration and development interests is based on cash paid and assigned value, if any, of share considerations given for mineral properties and exploration and development costs incurred.

All direct and indirect costs relating to the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks or areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or when management has determined that there is an impairment in the carrying values of those mineral properties.

The Company defers expenditures directly attributable to the exploration and development of mineral properties, pending a decision as to the commercial viability of a property.  At such times as the Company loses or abandons title on its interest in property, the accumulated expenditures on such property are charged to operations.  If any property reaches commercial production, the applicable costs of the mineral property and the deferred exploration and development expenditures will be amortized against related production revenues on the unit of production method, based on the property’s estimated reserves.  Properties which have reached a production stage will have a gain or loss calculated.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - cont’d

Based on the information available to date, the Company has not yet determined whether the mineral properties it is exploring and developing contain economically recoverable reserves.  The recoverability of the amounts capitalized as mineral properties and deferred exploration and development costs is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to successfully complete its exploration and development programs and upon future profitable production.

The amounts shown for mineral properties and deferred exploration and development expenses represent costs incurred to date, and do not necessarily represent present or future values as they are entirely dependent upon various factors as noted above.

The Company does not accrue the estimated future costs of maintaining its mineral properties in good standing.

Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation Costs

The Company’s policy relating to environmental protection and land rehabilitation programs is charged to income for any such costs incurred during the year.  Presently, the Company does not foresee the necessity to make any material expenditures in this area.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The company reviews long-lived assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or net realizable value.

Equipment

Equipment consists of office equipment, computer equipment and leaseholds.  The office equipment and computer equipment and leaseholds are recorded at cost and amortized at an annual rate of 20% to 45% using the declining balance method.

Risk Management

Environmental risk:
The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and development and is accordingly exposed to environmental risks associated with mining activity.  The Company is currently in the exploration stages with its mineral interests and has not determined whether significant site reclamation costs will be required.  The Company would record liability for site reclamation only when reasonably determinable and quantifiable.

Portfolio risk:
The Company has marketable securities which are subject to significant price and market volatility.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - cont’d

Interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk:
The Company is not currently exposed to significant interest rate or credit concentration risk. The Company is currently exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized on an undiscounted cash flow basis when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the obligation 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 expense using a systematic and rational method and is adjusted to reflect period-to-period changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time and from revisions to either expected payment dates or the amounts comprising the original estimate of the obligation.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.

Future Income Taxes

The Company accounts for potential future net tax assets which are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and which are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled.  When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of potential future benefit is taken and no net asset is recognized. Such an allowance has been applied to all potential income tax assets of the Company.

Retirement of long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment when events and circumstances warrant, when the carrying amounts of the assets exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow from use or its fair value, at which time the impairment is charged to earnings.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency for the presentation of its consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. Under this method, the income statement and the cash flow statement items for each year are translated into the reporting currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions, and the assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of that year. All resulting exchange differences are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive income.

Share Capital

Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair market value based upon the lower of the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of the agreement to issue the shares and the date of share issuance.

Royalty income

The Company records royalty income when earned.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company follows the Recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) in connection with accounting for stock option-based compensation.  The standard now requires that all stock option-based awards made to consultants and employees be recognized in these consolidated financial statements and measured using a fair value-based method.

Consideration received on the exercise of stock options and compensation options and warrants is recorded as share capital. The related contributed surplus originally recognized when the options were granted, is transferred to share capital.

Loss per share

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is not presented as it is anti-dilutive to the loss per share figures.

Comparative Figures

Certain of the prior years' figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s financial statement presentation.

3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the second quarter ended March 31, 2008, there were no related party transactions.

During 2006, the Company’s former President’s private company charged $38,463 in management fees and $22,327 in interest on the amounts advanced in 2006 and 2005. The former president received marketable securities and long-term investments valued at $71,138 for management fees, advance repayment and partial interest repayment. The Company recorded a gain on sale of long-term investments of $44,099, a write-down of marketable securities of $3,892 and a loss on sale of marketable securities of $81,597, a result of these settlements.

All transactions with related parties have occurred in the normal course of operations and are measured at their fair value as determined by management.
