Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements |
Aurelio Resource Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Form 8-K to notify readers that the Board of Directors has determined that two accounting errors have been identified that affect certain previously issued financial statements that are included in:
(i) | the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 that was originally filed on April 2, 2008; and |
(ii) | the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 that was originally filed on May 20, 2008. |
(iii) | the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 that was originally filed on May 17, 2007. |
(iv) | the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 that was originally filed on August 14, 2007. |
(v) | the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for quarterly period ended September 30, 2007 that was originally filed on November 16, 2007. |
As a result of these findings, the Board of Directors has determined that the Company’s balance sheets included in these filings should not be relied upon. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that the statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 should not be relied upon.
The accounting errors have been quantified as set forth below and have been discussed with the Company’s independent auditors. The Company is in the process of making the necessary corrections to its affected financial statements and expects to file amendments to its previous filings within the next 10 days.
Correction of Accounting Errors
Change in Method of Accounting For Acquisition Cost of Unpatented Mining Claims
On June 28, 2008, the Company changed its method of accounting for acquisition costs of unpatented mining claims, including the costs of certain unpatented mining claims that were acquired from ARI in August 2006. The Company has determined that such property acquisition costs are capitalizable and should be included in assets as Mining Claims. This change in accounting is a result of the misapplication of previous GAAP.
In reviewing the purchase price allocation to the mining claims acquired from ARI in August 2006, the Company determined that $601,686 of such costs should be attributed to said unpatented mining claims as at August 17, 2006, the date of the closing. The consideration paid to ARI was common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the reciprocal adjustment to correct the cost of unpatented mining claims is to increase additional paid-in capital.
As a result of this change in policy, the comparative balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and each unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2008 will be restated to apply the new accounting policy retrospectively.

The consideration paid to ARI was common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the reciprocal adjustment to correct the cost of unpatented mining claims is to increase additional paid-in capital.
The following financial statement line items for the years ended as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 as well as from inception through December 31, 2007 that were effected by this change in accounting policy are shown below. It should be noted that results of operations were not affected by this change.
