Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six month period ended October 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars except where indicated)
1 | Nature of Operations |
CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (the “Company” or “CanAlaska”) and its subsidiaries for the past 8 years have been principally engaged in the exploration of uranium properties. The Company will attempt to bring the properties to production, structure joint ventures with others, option or lease properties to third parties or sell the properties outright. The Company has not determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable and the Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. From time to time, the Company evaluates new properties and directs exploration on these properties based on the Board of Director’s evaluation of financial and market considerations at the time. On June 21, 2011, the Company’s shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “CVV” and ceased trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s shares are also quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) in the United States under the symbol “CVVUF” and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “DH7N”. The Company’s registered office is located at 625 Howe Street, Suite 1020, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T6, Canada.
2 | Going Concern |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classification that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties. Due to increasingly difficult market conditions facing junior uranium exploration companies there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional financing. The amounts shown as mineral property costs represent net acquisition costs incurred to date and do not necessarily represent current or future values of the mineral properties.
At October 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million (April 30, 2013: $1.3 million) (note 4) and working capital of $1.1 million (April 30, 2013: $1.2 million). The Company has a deficit of $81.3 million at October 31, 2013 and incurred a loss of $0.4 million during the six months ended October 31, 2013. Management may either need to dilute its ownership in its properties or secure additional financing to continue to advance the development of its exploration projects. The above factors cast substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Option and warrant pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants. The Company’s expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. For the six months ended October 31, 2013, there were no stock options or warrants granted.

12 | Management of Capital |
The Company considers its capital to consist of common shares, stock options and warrants. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
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 attempt to issue new shares and, acquire or dispose of assets.
In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with short term maturities, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.
