(An Exploration Stage Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements |

(Unaudited) |
1. | Nature of operations and going concern assumption |
Grandview Gold Inc. (the "Company") is a gold exploration company focused on exploring and developing gold properties in gold camps of North America. | |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company was previously in the business of investing significant equity interests in high-technology companies. As at March 26, 2004, the Company changed its direction to a gold exploration company. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues from gold exploration and is considered to be in the exploration stage. As such, the Company will be applying Accounting Guideline 11 "Enterprises in the Development Stage" as required by Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook effective March 26, 2004 onwards. | |
These statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary financing to complete the development of its mineral interests and/or the realization of the proceeds from the sale of one or more of its mineral interests. These financial statements do not include adjustments related to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. | |
2. | Basis of presentation and accounting policies |
The unaudited interim 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 financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended August 31, 2007 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2008. | |
The balance sheet at May 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2007, except as noted below. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2007. | |
Refer to Note 13 of the May 31, 2007 audited financial statements for the Company's commitments. |

Accounting Changes | ||
Section 1506, "Accounting Changes". This section prescribes the criteria for changing accounting policies, together with the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and correction of errors. The Company has adopted these new standards effective June 1, 2007. | ||
Financial instruments, comprehensive income and hedges | ||
In January 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued Handbook Sections 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, and 3865, “Hedges”. These new standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years commencing on or after October 1, 2006 on a prospective basis; accordingly, comparative amounts for prior periods are not restated. The Company has adopted these new standards effective June 1, 2007. | ||
Section 3855 prescribes when a financial instrument is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount. It also specifies how financial instrument gains and losses are to be presented. This Section requires | ||
that: | ||
| º All financial assets be measured at fair value on initial recognition and certain financial assets to be measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition; | |
| ||
| º All financial liabilities be measured at fair value if they are classified as held for trading purposes. Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method; and | |
| ||
| º All derivative financial instruments be measured at fair value on the balance sheet, even when they are part of an effective hedging relationship. | |
| ||
Section 1530 introduces a new requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses from changes in fair value outside net income. It includes unrealized gains and losses, such as: changes in the currency translation adjustment relating to self-sustaining foreign operations; unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments; and the effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or hedges of the net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations. | ||
Section 3865 provides alternative treatments to Section 3855 for entities which choose to designate qualifying transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. It replaces and expands on Accounting Guideline 13 “Hedging Relationships”, and the hedging guidance in Section 1650 “Foreign Currency Translation” by specifying how hedge accounting is applied and what disclosures are necessary when it is applied. | ||
Under adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. GST and sundry receivable, prepaid expenses, exploration advances and due from a related party are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. | ||
The adoption of these Handbook Sections had no impact on opening deficit. |

Future accounting changes | |
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation | |
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards: Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation. These new standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Company's reporting period beginning on June 1, 2008. | |
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 non-compliance. | |
The new 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 is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards on its financial statements. | |
3. | Mining interests |
On a quarterly basis, management of the Company reviews exploration expenditures to ensure mining interests include only costs and projects that are eligible for capitalization. | |
For a description of mining interests, refer to Note 5 of the audited financial statements as at May 31, 2007. Specific changes to mining interests that occurred from June 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007 are as follows: | |
On June 18, 2007, the Company amended the option agreement with EMCO Corporation SA ("EMCO") relating to the Sanshaw-Bonanza gold property. The Company has agreed to increase the expenditures required to be incurred on or before August 31, 2008 to $500,000 and to issue to EMCO 100,000 common shares in the capital of the Company as consideration for the amended agreement (issued and valued at $35,000). | |
On June 20, 2007, the Company announced that it has fulfilled the terms of its option agreement with Mill City relating to the Company’s right to earn an undivided 60% interest in the 28 square-mile Pony Creek/Elliott Dome property (the “Property”) located on the Carlin Trend in north central Nevada. | |
Under the terms of the option agreement with Mill City, dated April 14, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”), the Company had a right to earn an undivided 60% interest in the Property by spending US$3,500,000 over three years. The Company recently presented a detailed accounting of its US$3,500,000 exploration program completed to date, as well as plans for exploration moving forward. | |
Mill City accepted in writing on June 20, 2007, the Company’s earn-in and further, Mill City has informed the Company that, as per the terms of the Option Agreement, it will exercise its option to dilute its 40% participating interest to a 20% carried interest, up to and including the date on which the Bankable Feasibility Study is completed by the Company. At that time Mill City shall convert its 20% carried interest to a 20% participating interest. The acceptance by Mill City of the terms of the Company’s earn in, immediately converts the Company’s 60% interest to an 80% interest in the Property. |

On July 6, 2007, the Company closed a brokered private placement with Bolder Investment Partners, Ltd. (the "Agent") . The brokered placement resulted in the issuance by the Company of a total of 8,589,000 units in the capital of the Company (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,435,600. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant is exercisable to acquire one further common share of the Company at a price of $0.65 for a period of 24 months from closing.
The fair value of the 4,294,500 common share purchase warrants has been estimated to be $704,298 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In determining this value, the following assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 4.72%, dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 97% and an expected life of 24 months.
In connection with the brokered placement, the Company paid a cash fee to the Agent of 8% of the gross proceeds raised for total of $274,848 and also issued broker options to acquire 8% of the total number of Units issued at a price of $0.40 per Unit for a period of 24 months from closing. In addition, the Company also paid a cash work fee of $7,500 for certain services of the Agent.
The fair value of the 687,120 broker options has been estimated to be $145,670 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In determining this value, the following assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 4.72%, dividend yield of 0%, expected stock volatility of 97% and an expected life of 24 months.
The Company also closed a non-brokered placement on the same terms as the brokered placement for an additional 125,000 Units and further proceeds of $50,000.
Other costs associated to the private placements amounted to $95,997.
The fair value of the 62,500 common share purchase warrants has been estimated to be $10,250 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

10. | Differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP |
The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. These principles, as they pertain to the Company's interim financial statements differ from US GAAP as follows:
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounted for its stock compensation plan as described in Note 2(h) in the fiscal 2007 audited financial statements under which CICA Handbook Section 3870 requires that compensation for option awards to employees and consultants be recognized in the financial statements at fair value for options granted in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2004. The Company, as permitted by CICA Handbook Section 3870, has adopted this section prospectively for new option awards granted on or after June 1, 2003. Accordingly, a fair value compensation expense is reported for any options that were granted and vested during an interim or fiscal period. Prior to this accounting policy, no compensation expense was required to be recorded for stock option grants under Canadian GAAP for fiscal 2004. For US GAAP purposes, the Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 148 effective as of June 1, 2003, which provisions allow the Company to record compensation expense for stock options granted in fiscal 2004 and all future periods based on the estimated fair value of such option, using the prospective method. In December 2004, FASB issued Statement 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," which mandates the recording of compensation expense based on the fair value of such options.
Prior to June 1, 2003, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plan for US GAAP purposes under FASB statement 123, under which no compensation expense was required to be recognized in fiscal 2003.
For the period ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company's accounting for stock option grants under US GAAP is substantially equivalent to the accounting under Canadian GAAP. As such, the expense recorded for US GAAP purposes would be equal to the expense recorded for Canadian GAAP purposes for the period ended August 31, 2007 and 2006. Had the Company adopted (FASB) Statement 148 for 2004, there would be no effect on earnings since no stock options were issued in that year.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for its exploration costs as described in Note 2(d) of the audited annual financial statements for May 31, 2007, while under US GAAP, exploration costs cannot be capitalized and are expensed as incurred. Mineral property rights relating to the properties are capitalized and they are tested for impairment.
Prior to June 1, 2007, under Canadian GAAP marketable securities and long-term investments are carried at the lower of cost or market, and adjustments to the carrying value are shown as an expense on the statement of operations. Under US GAAP marketable equity securities are carried at market value, and adjustments to the carrying value are shown as a component of shareholder's equity (if the securities are classified as available-for-sale securities) or as gain or loss in the statement of operations (if the securities are classified as trading securities). Effective June 1, 2007, the Company's accounting for financial instruments, equity and comprehensive income under US GAAP is substantially equivalent to the accounting under Canadian GAAP (see Note 2).
Canadian GAAP provides that a tax benefit be recorded in the statement of operations to reflect the recovery of future income taxes relating to the renunciation of resource property expenditures to the Company's flow-through share investors (see Note 10 of the audited annual financial statements for May 31, 2007). US GAAP has no such provision; consequently, the US GAAP statement of operations contains no such tax benefit.

10. | Differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP (Continued) |
Under US GAAP, exploration stage companies are required to provide cumulative-from-inception information relating to income statements, statements of cash flows, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity. Inception has been deemed to be March 26, 2004, the date on which the Company, at a shareholders' meeting, made the decision to return to the business of exploration as its primary business focus. Had the Company's statements of operations and deficit been prepared using US GAAP, such statements would have included cumulative-from-inception amounts in addition to amounts for the period ended August 31, 2007, August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005. Such statements under US GAAP are as follows:

Recent US GAAP accounting pronouncements
In March 2004, the FASB ratified a consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") on issue No. 04-2 entitled "Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets". This consensus requires that costs to acquire mineral rights (defined as the legal rights to explore, extract and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits) as tangible assets. This consensus was effective for years beginning after March 2004 and has been applied in the May 31, 2005 balance sheet. Prior to the adoption of this consensus, the Company accounted for mineral rights costs with exploration costs as expense when incurred.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that conditional asset retirement obligations meet the definition of liabilities and should be recognized when incurred if their fair values can be reasonably estimated. The Company was required to adopt FIN 47 during the year ended May 31, 2007; the implementation did not have any effect on the Company's financial statements as the Company does not yet have significant assets which the Company is obligated to retire.
In March 2005, the FASB ratified a consensus reached by the EITF on the issue No. 04-6 entitled "Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry". This Consensus affects the accounting for costs of removing overburden and waste materials during the production phase of a mine. The consensus requires that stripping costs are to be accounted for as variable production costs and charged to operations during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. This consensus is required to be adopted in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007. This consensus has no effect on the financial statements since the Company is not yet in the production phase.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, has been introduced and requires, unless impracticable, retroactive application as the required method for reporting changes in accounting principles in the absence of transitional provisions specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. The adoption of this accounting principle had no effect on the financial statements.

Recent US GAAP accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption, with the cumulative effect adjustment reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not expect a material effect on the financial statements from the adoption of this standard.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement 157 "Fair Value Measurements". Statement 157 will become effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of Statement 157 "Fair Value Measurements" will have on the financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement 159 "Fair Value Option". Statement 159 will become effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement for accounting for financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating potential impact, if any, that the adoption of Statement 159 "Fair Value Option" will have on the statements.
