Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Expressed in United States Dollars) |
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management) |
|
For the Nine Month Period Ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 |
NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary DLJ Management Corp., have been prepared in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which were the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited consolidated financial statements as at July 31, 2006. The disclosure which follows is incremental to the disclosure included in the annual consolidated financial statements. These interim financial statements to April 30, 2007 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 2006.
NOTE 2 – FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to adequately fund its activities and has therefore relied principally upon the issuance of securities and the sale of investments for financing. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of securities and the sale of investments to finance its operations and activities to the extent they are available to the Company and under terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
