1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
NWT Uranium Corp. (the "Company" or "NWT") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation dated September 26, 2003. The Company, which is in the development stage as defined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Accounting Guideline 11 "Enterprises in the Development Stage", is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties with a focus on uranium. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has interests in Canada, Niger and Mexico. The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration properties for mineral resources and has not determined whether the properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recovery of the amounts shown for the exploration properties and the related deferred expenditures is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration, and upon future profitable production.
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying values of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations and the ability of the Company to obtain financing necessary to complete development of the properties, or alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values. Some of the Company's exploration properties are located outside of Canada and are subject to the risk of foreign investment, including increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and political uncertainty.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
As at September 30, 2008, the Company had cash of $3,612,020 (December 31, 2007 - $905,473), short term investments of $4,908,864 (December 31, 2007 - $12,318,540) and working capital of $8,349,787 (December 31, 2007 - $10,340,862). Management of the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to pay its ongoing administrative expenses and to meet its liabilities for the ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its mineral property expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the interim consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, except as noted below. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards: Capital Disclosures (Handbook Section 1535), Financial Instruments – Disclosures (Handbook Section 3862), and Financial Instruments – Presentation (Handbook Section 3863). These new standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.
Capital Disclosures
Handbook Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such noncompliance. The Company has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook section in Note 3 to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments
Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks. The Company has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook sections in Note 4 to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Amendments To Section 1400 – General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation
In June 2007, the CICA amended Handbook Section 1400, Going Concern, to include additional requirements to assess and disclose an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Section 1400 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's operating results or financial position.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Future accounting changes
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In January 2006, the CICA's Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") formally adopted the strategy of replacing Canadian GAAP with IFRS for Canadian enterprises with public accountability. The current conversion timetable calls for financial reporting under IFRS for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011. On February 13, 2008 the AcSB confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. For these entities, IFRS will be required for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS on its consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In November 2007, the CICA approved Handbook Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” which replaces the existing Handbook Sections 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and 3450 “Research and Development Costs”. This standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, with earlier application encouraged. The standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements for goodwill and intangible assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
When managing capital, the Company's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of resource assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management team to sustain the future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the development stage. As such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign exchange rate and commodity price risk).
Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, short term investments, due from Niger Uranium Limited ("Niger") and amounts receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash and short term investments are held with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.
Due from Niger Uranium Limited consist of costs paid on behalf of Niger by NWT. Amounts receivable consist mainly of sales tax refunds due from government authorities in Canada and cost recoveries from a company related to former management of the Company. As of September 30, 2008, due from Niger Uranium Limited and amounts receivable are in good standing. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to due from Niger Uranium Limited and amounts receivable is minimal.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2008, the Company had a cash and short term investments balance of $8,520,884 (December 31, 2007 - $13,224,013) to settle current liabilities of $1,068,660 (December 31, 2007 - $3,940,804). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
Market risk
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in certificates of deposits issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its banks.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company funds operations and exploration costs in Mexico on a cash call basis. The Company maintains a Mexican Peso and US Dollar bank account in Mexico. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
(c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices as it relates to uranium to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
The Company's investment in Niger Uranium Limited is subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the equity markets.

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (continued)
Sensitivity analysis
The Company has, for accounting purposes, classified its cash and short term investments as held for trading, which are measured at fair value. Due from Niger Uranium Limited and amounts receivable are classified for accounting purposes as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost and are equal to fair value. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost and are also equal to fair value.
As of September 30, 2008, both the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments are approximately equivalent.
Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are "reasonably possible" over a nine month period:
(i) Short term investments have fixed interest rates therefore they are not subject to interest rate fluctuations.
(ii) Cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in US Dollars and Mexican Pesos are subject to foreign currency risk. As at September 30, 2008, had the US Dollar and Mexican Peso weakened/strengthened by 5% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, the Company's loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 would have been approximately $5,000 higher/lower as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of non-Canadian dollar denominated financial instruments. Similarly, as at September 30, 2008, reported shareholders' equity would have been approximately $5,000 lower/higher had the US Dollar and Mexican Peso weakened/strengthened by 5% as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of non-Canadian dollar denominated financial instruments.
(iii) Commodity price risk could adversely affect the Company. In particular, the Company's future profitability and viability of development depends upon the market price of uranium. Commodity prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of uranium may be produced in the future, a profitable market will exist for them. As of September 30, 2008, the Company was not a producer of uranium. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.

6. INTEREST IN EXPLORATION PROPERTIES AND DEFERRED EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES
On a quarterly basis, management of the Company review its mining interests to ensure deferred expenditures include only costs and projects that are eligible for capitalization. For a description of the mining interests owned by the Company, refer to Note 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2007. Specific changes to interest in exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures that occurred from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 are as follows:
(i) On January 4, 2008, 100,000 common shares valued at $59,000 were issued to Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") to comply with the definitive option agreement for the Daniel Lake property.
(ii) On July 7, 2008, Azimut and NWT concluded an agreement to terminate the option agreements previously granted by Azimut to NWT on the North Rae and Daniel Lake properties.
The termination of the option agreements is conditional upon Azimut making a cash payment within 90 days to NWT of $4,000,000, which Azimut plans to finance by way of an equity financing, and issuing of 1,100,000 common shares of Azimut to NWT. The shares to be issued to NWT will be subject to a one-year hold period commencing on the date of issuance. In the event that Azimut is unable to satisfy these conditions, the termination agreement will have no further force or effect and the current option agreements will remain valid and enforceable.
Azimut and NWT have agreed to extend to December 31, 2008 the closing date for completing the transaction (See Note 12(ii)).
