A PARTNERSHIP OF INCORPORATED PROFESSIONALS | AMISANO HANSON CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Directors,
Evolving Gold Corp.
(A Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the balance sheets of Evolving Gold Corp. as at March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the statements of loss and deficit, cash flows and shareholders’ equity (deficiency) for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the period June 19, 2003 (Date of Incorporation) to March 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the period June 19, 2003 (Date of Incorporation) to March 31, 2004 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA – U.S. REPORTING CONFLICT
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern that assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements and in respect of the Company’s working capital deficiency and accumulated losses from operations, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continuing as a going concern exists. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our report to the shareholders dated July 21, 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditor’s report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

EVOLVING GOLD CORP.
(A Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Note 1 | Nature and Continuance of Operations Evolving Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as 6109527 Canada Ltd. on June 19, 2003, under the Canada Business Corporation Act and is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties. On September 30, 2003, the Company changed its name to Evolving Gold Corp. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in the pre-exploration stage and had interests in mineral properties located in the Northwest Territories and Nevada, United States of America. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete their development, and future profitable production or disposition thereof. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As at March 31, 2005, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $143,711, has yet to achieve profitable operations and has accumulated losses of $554,336 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| |
| The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. Differences with respect to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American are described in Note 11. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| The financial statements, have in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: |

Evolving Gold Corp.
(A Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2005 and 2004 – Page 2
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| | |
| a) | Mineral Properties |
| | |
| | The Company defers the cost of acquiring, maintaining its interest, exploring and developing mineral properties until such time as the properties are placed into production, abandoned, sold or considered to be impaired in value. Costs of producing properties will be amortized on a unit of production basis and costs of abandoned properties are written-off. Proceeds received from the sale of interests in mineral properties are credited to the carrying value of the mineral properties, with any excess included in operations. Write-downs due to impairment in value are charged to operations. |
| | |
| | The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined the amount of reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Amounts shown for properties represent costs incurred net of write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future values. |
| | |
| b) | Income Taxes |
| | |
| | The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes only if it is more likely than not that they can be realized. |
| | |
| c) | Stock Based Compensation |
| | |
| | Effective April 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments”. The section requires use of the fair value-based method of accounting for stock awards for fiscal periods beginning January 1, 2004. The value of such rewards is charged to the statement of operations over the vesting period of the stock awards with an offsetting credit to contributed surplus. |
| | |
| | Consideration paid for shares on exercise of the share options are credited to share capital together with the amount of any contributed surplus that arose as a result of the grant of the exercised stock options. |

(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d) |
| | |
| d) | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share |
| | |
| | Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Fully dilutive amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share. |
| | |
| e) | Exploration Stage Company |
| | |
| | The Company is a pre-exploration stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7. The Company is devoting its present efforts to exploring and developing its mineral properties and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s pre- exploration stage activities. |
| | |
| f) | Financial Instruments |
| | |
| | The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. |
| |
Note 3 | Mineral Properties |
| | |
| a) | Murray Property |
| | |
| | Pursuant to a property option agreement dated July 22, 2003 and amended September 16, 2004, between the Company and International Zimtu Technologies Inc., a public company, the Company has the option to earn a 70% undivided interest in certain mineral claims (the “Property”), located 78 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in exchange for consideration of: |

Note 11 | Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada that differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as follows: Mineral Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs Under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) mineral property acquisition and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) mineral property acquisition costs and exploration costs must be expensed as incurred unless the mineral properties have proven reserves. Therefore an additional mineral property acquisition expense is required under US GAAP. The impact on the financial statements is as follows: |
