LINCOLN GOLD CORPORATION |

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
|
1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
| |
| Lincoln Gold Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on February 17, 1999 under the name of Braden Technologies Inc. Effective March 26, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp., a private company incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on September 25, 2003. On April 6, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary, Lincoln Gold Corp., merged to form Lincoln Gold Corporation. |
| |
| On November 20, 2007, the Company completed a continuation changing its corporate jurisdiction from Nevada to Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”). Unlike the Nevada jurisdiction, the Company chose under the CBCA to not have par value shares and, accordingly, prior period share capital amounts have been revised to reflect this change. In addition, the Company changed its authorized share capital from 100,000,000 to unlimited. |
| |
| The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing properties to a stage where they can be exploited for a profit. To date, the Company and its subsidiary have not earned any revenues and are considered to be in the exploration stage. |
| |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") under the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. While the Company has a history of operating losses and has a working capital deficiency of $625,967 at March 31, 2008 (December 31, 2007 – deficiency $71,665), it intends to undertake exploration programs that will require that the Company raise further funds. These interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
| |
| The operations of the Company have been primarily funded by the issuance of share capital and debt. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to complete additional equity financings or generating profitable operations in the future. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. |
| |
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
| These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the presentation of interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). The financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Annual Financial Statements except as described below. |
| |
| The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows: |

| Where applicable, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the current year. |

|
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) |
| |
| Basis of consolidation |
| |
| These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Lincoln de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Lincoln Mexico”), from the date of formation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
| |
| Foreign currency translation |
| |
| Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Canadian (CA) dollar as its functional and reporting currency, as a significant portion of its expenses, assets, liabilities and financing are denominated in CA dollars. All currency figures reported in these interim unaudited consolidated statements are reported in CA dollars, unless otherwise specified. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company reported its annual and quarterly consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in the United States (US) dollar. The related financial statements and corresponding notes prior to January 1, 2008 have been restated to CA dollars for comparison to the 2008 financial results. |
| |
| Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than CA dollar are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Other non-monetary balance sheet items denominated in currencies other than CA dollar are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the time the items arose. Revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in exchange rates are included in operations for the periods in which they occur. |
| |
| Adoption of new accounting policies: |
| |
| Recent accounting pronouncements |
| |
| Assessing Going Concern |
| |
| The Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") amended CICA Handbook Section 1400, to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. This section applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. |

5. | NOTE PAYABLE |
| |
| Convertible loans |
| |
| On March 3, 2008, the Company received convertible loan proceeds of $75,000. The Company also entered into a general security agreement (“GSA”) whereby the loan is secured by way of general charge over the Company’s present and after acquired personal property. The Company agreed to repay the principal and interest upon completing a financing of more than $500,000. |
| |
| The principal amount bears interest at 8% per annum, compounded weekly for the first two weeks, and thereafter at the rate of 24% per annum compounded weekly, payable following the repayment of the principal. At any time that the principal and interest shall remain outstanding, the lender has the right to convert such principal and interest to shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.20 per share. The Company agreed to issue 37,500 share purchase warrants in relation to this convertible loan, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.25 per share for a period of two years. At March 31, 2008, the Company accrued $924 in interest in relation to this convertible loan. |
| |
| The fair value of the warrants of $2,479 was estimated using the Black Scholes stock price valuation model with the following assumptions: i) expected volatility of 93.5%; risk free interest rate of 2.6%; iii) expected weighted average life of 6 months; and iv) no dividend yield. As at March 31, 2008, the warrants had not yet been issued. The Company did not allocate to proceeds from the convertible loan to the warrants as it was deemed to be nominal. |
| |
| During February 2008, the Company received convertible loan proceeds of $95,000 from the CEO. The principal amount bears interest at 5% per annum, and has no specific term of repayment. At any time that the principal and interest shall remain outstanding, the lender has the right to convert such principal and interest to shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of equal to the average trading price of the stock over the last five days prior to conversion. At March 31, 2008, the Company accrued $522 in interest in relation to this convertible loan. |
| |
| On February 22, 2008, the Company received further convertible loan proceeds of $25,000 from a director of the Company. The principal amount bears interest at 5% per annum until December 31, 2008, and at 10% per annum subsequent to December 31, 2008.
