KLONDIKE STAR MINERAL CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2008
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Klondike Star Mineral Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") is engaged in mineral exploration in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The Company was originally incorporated in 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was also registered in the Yukon Territory, Canada effective June 22, 2004. The Company maintains its head office in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.
The Company was originally incorporated as Cyberbiz, Inc., later changed its name to Urbanfind, Inc. and again in 2004 changed its name to Klondike Star Mineral Corporation. The Company’s fiscal year-end is the last calendar day of February.
Historically, the Company had been principally engaged in an internet-based business. Upon its acquisition of certain mining claims in December 2003, the Company began a new exploration stage as a minerals exploration company.
As the Company is in the exploration stage, it has not realized any revenues from operations.
On March 16, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Klondike Star Canada Inc. (“Klondike Star Canada”) under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Klondike Star Canada maintains its head office in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. As of May 31, 2008, Klondike Star Canada had limited exploration operation in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2008. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended May 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the re sults that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2009.
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Methods
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company consolidates more-than-50% owned subsidiaries that it controls and entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Klondike Star Canada Inc. (incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act). All significant transactions and balances among the companies included in the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in a commercial bank in Bellevue, Washington, and in a commercial bank in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The account in Washington is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. The Canadian dollar accounts in Yukon Territory are guaranteed by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CIDC) up to $100,000 Canadian ($100,820 US dollars at May 31, 2008). At February 29, 2008, the Company did not exceed the FDIC insured. At May 31, 2008, the Company exceeds the CIDC insured amount.
Foreign Operations
The accompanying balance sheet contains certain recorded Company assets (principally cash and property and equipment) in a foreign country (Canada). The Company also holds mineral properties situated in the Yukon Territory of Canada which were expensed as an exploration cost when acquired. Although Canada is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company expenses lease exploration costs as incurred. As of May 31, 2008, the exploration costs and mineral rights expensed during the Company’s exploration stage have been approximately $45,979,000. Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized. If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned. Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a units of production basis over proven and probable reserves. Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Going Concern
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $963,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $59,272,000 since inception of the Company’s exploration stage (December 8, 2003). The Company currently has no revenues and no operating mining properties.
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Management’s plans include actively seeking additional capital and management believes that new properties can ultimately be developed to enable the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in its endeavors.
The Company’s management believes that it will be able to generate sufficient cash from public or private debt or equity financing for the Company to continue to operate based on current expenditure projections of $3,000,000 for fiscal year ending in 2009. The Company has approximately $267,000 in cash at May 31, 2008.

Gold Price Outlook
Global mineral exploration spending reached a new high-water mark in 2007 for the fifth straight year in a row. In a special report prepared for the Prospectors and Developers International Convention (PDAC) in March 2008, the Metals Economics Group advised that worldwide mineral exploration spending (excluding ferrous metal and uranium) reached $10.5 billion in 2008. The Metals Economics Group expects that exploration spending will continue to be driven upward in 2008, the combined result of a well-funded junior sector and the current reserves-replacement requirements of major and intermediate companies. (Source: Metals Economics Group,World Exploration Trends: A Special Report from the Metals Economics Group for the PDAC International Convention 2008,March 2008.)

Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures
The financial statements, financial analyses and all other information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were prepared by the Company's management, which is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition and use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Furthermore, due to changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2008, the Company terminated an arrangement for third party accounting services performed on a contractual basis effective on the commencement of the new fiscal year, March 1, 2008 – February 28, 2009. The Company’s management is now fully in charge of the general ledger (including the preparation of routine and non-routine journal entries and journal entries involving accounting estimates), the preparation of accounting reconciliations, and the preparation of interim and annual financial statements including note disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company also undertook a series of measures to improve internal controls, accounting and financial reporting, including for example, revisions to the chart of accounts, bank signing authority and retaining additional in-house professional and accounting resources.
