Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
August 31, 2007 |
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS
Journey Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is a mineral exploration resource company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company was incorporated on March 29, 2000, under the Company Act of British Columbia, under the name Access West Capital Corporation. Subsequently, the Company changed its name to Journey Unlimited Omni Brand Corporation, and on November 4, 2005, to Journey Resources Corp.
The Company is presently in the business of acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. It presently owns mining concessions in Guerrero State, Mexico, and mineral claims in Idaho, U.S.A.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to incur operating losses, and has a consolidated deficit of $5,598,699 as at August 31, 2007.
The Company's ability to continue operations is uncertain and is dependent upon its ability to obtaining new sources of financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) | Interim financial statements |
| |
| These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the annual financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include in all respects the annual disclosure requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual statements. |
| |
b) | Basis of Consolidation |
| |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V. (Note 3), and its two wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries, Journey Unlimited Equipment Inc. (Canada) and Journey Unlimited Equipment Inc. (U.S.A.). All inter- company transactions and balances have been eliminated (Note 3). |
| |
c) | Foreign Currency Translation |
| |
| The Company’s foreign operations are determined to be of an integrated nature and are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their applicable historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates prevailing for the year, except for amortization which is translated at the historical rates associated with the assets being amortized. Foreign exchange gains and losses from the translation of foreign operations are reflected in operations for the current year. |
| |
d) | Marketable Securities |
| |
| The Company owns common shares of Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc. (“Wits Basin”). Upon the adoption of new accounting polices on November 30, 2006, the Company carries these shares at their market value. |
JOURNEY RESOURCES CORP. |
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
August 31, 2007 |
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e) | Property and Equipment |
| |
| Property and equipment are recorded at cost and amortized at the following rates on a declining balance basis, except in the year of acquisition, when one half of the rates are used: |
Furniture and Fixtures | 20% |
Exploration Equipment | 20% |
Computer Equipment | 30% |
f) | Mineral Properties |
| |
| The Company’s mineral properties are in the exploration stage and therefore, the Company capitalizes all expenditures related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties until such time as the properties are placed into commercial production, abandoned, sold or considered to be impaired in value. Costs of producing properties will be amortized on a unit-of-production basis based on proven and probable reserves. Costs of abandoned properties are written off to operations. Proceeds received on the sale of interests in mineral properties are credited to the carrying value of the mineral properties, with any excess included in operations. Adjustments to carrying value due to impairment are charged to operations. |
| |
| Property option payments received are credited against the cost of mineral properties. Where option payments received exceed the recorded acquisition costs of mineral claims, the amount in excess of the capitalized costs is credited to operations. |
| |
| The Company has not yet determined the amount of reserves available on the properties owned. The recoverability of the capitalized costs for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development of the properties and on future production or proceeds of disposition. The Company assesses the impairment of a mineral property whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the capitalized costs is then determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of the property to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the mineral property. If such mineral property is considered to be impaired, that property is written down to its estimated net realizable value. |
| |
| Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest in accordance with general industry standards, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and therefore title may be affected. |
| |
g) | Asset Retirement Obligation |
| |
| The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, including site closure and reclamation costs associated with exploration activities on its mineral properties, in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company records the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site closure and reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increases the carrying value of the related assets by that amount. The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value through charges to accretion expense. The costs capitalized to the related assets are depleted to earnings in a manner consistent with the underlying assets. |
| |
| As at August 31, 2007, the Company has determined that it does not have material obligations for asset retirement obligations. |

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
h) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
| |
| Long-lived assets are reviewed by the Company for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. As at August 31, 2007, management believes there has been no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets. |
| |
i) | Share Capital and Stock Based Compensation |
| |
| The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of related share issue costs. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on the quoted market value of the Company’s shares on the date of share issuance. |
| |
| The Company has a plan for granting stock options to management, directors, employees and consultants. The Company recognizes compensation expense for options granted under this plan and brokers warrants issued under the fair value based method in accordance with CICA Handbook section 3870 “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant and recognized over the vesting period, with the offsetting amounts credited to contributed surplus. The Company estimates the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus amount is transferred to share capital. |
| |
j) | Loss Per Common Share |
| |
| Basic loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the issuance of shares on the exercise of stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. |
| |
k) | Income Taxes |
| |
| The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax assets, including the benefit of income tax losses available for carry-forward, are only recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the Company will ultimately realize those assets. |
| |
l) | New Accounting Policies |
| |
| Effective November 30, 2006, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Section 3251, Equity; Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement; and Section 3865, Hedges, retroactively without restatement. These new Handbook Sections, which apply to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006, provide requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments and on the use of hedge accounting. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated. The adoption of these Handbook Sections had no impact on opening deficit. |

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
l) | New Accounting Policies (Continued) |
| |
| Under Section 3855, financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for- trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities which are measured at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows: held-for-trading, financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income; available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net income. |
| |
m) | Financial instruments |
| |
| Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its cash as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable, GST receivable and subscription receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. Marketable securities are classified as available-for- sale which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amount would be recorded in net income. |
| |
| The Company’s "other comprehensive income or loss" transactions during the six months ended August 31, 2007 of ($62,937). |
| |
| The Company undertakes certain transactions in foreign currencies denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican Pesos and as such is subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Foreign exploration expenditures of the Company are due and payable in the short-term and accordingly, management believes there is not significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. |
| |
n) | Comparative Figures |
| |
| Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted for the current year. |
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On April 11, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“the Agreement”) with Murcielago Capital S.A. (“Murcielago”) to acquire 5,000,000 common shares (out of a total of 5,050,000 issued and outstanding shares) of Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales Jazz”), a private Mexican mining exploration company. The main asset held by Minerales Jazz is the Vianey Mine concession, located in Guerrero State, Mexico.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made a cash payment of $150,000 and issued 900,000 common shares and 100,000 share purchase warrants. Each share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share. The warrants were not exercised and expired on July 20, 2006.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION (Continued)
The common shares and share purchase warrants issued on the acquisition were recorded based on their fair values. The fair value of the common shares was $360,000 and was based on the trading value of the Company’s common shares at the date of the closing of the Agreement. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was $3,336 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a risk-free interest rate of 2.86%; dividend yield of 0%; a stock price volatility of 103%; and an expected life of 1 year. On September 11, 2006, the Company also exercised the option to purchase for a nominal amount the remaining 50,000 common shares of Minerales Jazz by making a cash payment of $10.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is required to issue additional shares as follows:
| (a) | 500,000 common shares on or after that date which is seven business days following completion by the Company of the work program recommended in a technical report; and |
| | |
| (b) | 800,000 common shares on or after that date which is seven business days following the earlier of (i) the completion of an economically viable pre-feasibility study on the Vianey Mine, and (ii) the commencement of commercial production. |
As at August 31, 2007, the Company has issued an additional 500,000 common shares on the completion of the work program 2007(Note 8(a)(iv)). The fair value of these common shares totalled $125,000 and were accounted for as an increase in the cost of the acquired assets on June 6, 2007.
These consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Minerales Jazz commencing from July 20, 2005, the date of acquisition.

NOTE 6 – MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
a) | Musgrove Creek Gold Project |
| |
| On September 29, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent, and on November 30, 2005, the Company signed an option agreement, as amended on May 23, 2007 (the “Agreement”) with Roxgold Inc. (formerly Wave Exploration Corp.) and Wave Mining Inc. to acquire all of its rights, title and interest in certain claims known as the Musgrove Creek Gold Property (“Musgrove Property”). The Musgrove Property consists of 47 unpatented claims situated in the Cobalt Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA. |
| |
| Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company was granted an option to earn a 100% interest in the Musgrove Property by making a total of $200,000 cash payments (paid) and issuing 375,000 common shares (300,000 shares issued in fiscal 2005 and 75,000 shares issued on June 20, 2007 (Note 8iv)) of the Company on or before June 30, 2007. |
| |
| The Company issued to an unrelated party 100,000 of its common shares, with a fair value of $32,500, as a finder’s fee. |
| |
| Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company assumed the underlying lease agreement dated June 12, 2003 with respect to certain mineral claims that comprise the Musgrove Property. The underlying lease has a 10 year term and can be renewed for two successive terms of 10 years provided that the conditions of the lease are met. The Company is required to pay annual lease payments to the underlying lessor which progressively increase from US$25,000 due on the third anniversary (June 12, 2006) of the lease to a maximum of US$50,000 per year for the duration of the lease. These claims are subject to an underlying 2% production royalty and a lump sum payment of $1,000,000 upon completion of a feasibility study. In addition, the Company is required to incur minimum annual exploration expenditures of $100,000 on the property during the term of the lease. As at August 31, 2007, the Company paid a total of US$55,000 for the third and fourth annual lease payments to the underlying lessor. |
| |
| In 2006, the Company staked and recorded an additional 40 claims to the Musgrove Property. |
| |
| On June 13, 2007, the Company fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement and earned 100% interest in the Musgrove Property. |
| |
b) | Empire Mine Project |
| |
| On May 29, 2006, the Company signed an option agreement with Trio Gold Corp. (“Trio”) to acquire a 50% lease interest in certain mining claims known as the Empire Mine Property (“Empire Property”). The Empire Property consists of 23 patented mining claims, 6 mill-site claims and 21 unpatented mining claims situated in the Alder Creek Mining District, Custer County, Idaho, USA. |
| |
| Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may earn a 50% lease interest in the property by making a non-refundable deposit of US$50,000 (paid), a cash payment of $200,000 (paid), and issuing 700,000 common shares of the Company (issued). The Company is required to incur a minimum of US$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the property on or before August 31, 2007, however, this date has been extended pending the outcome of the current litigation between Trio and the underlying lessor. Once all requirements are met, the Company will be deemed to have earned a 50% lease interest in and to the claims, and a joint venture between the Company and Trio will be formed. |
| |
| The Company also issued to an unrelated company 200,000 of its common shares, with a fair value of $58,000, as a finder’s fee. |
| |
| The Company staked and recorded an additional 10 claims to the Empire Property on January 09, 2007 at a total cost of USD$411,450. |

NOTE 7 – MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
b) | Empire Mine Project (Continued) |
| |
| On June 26, 2006, Trio was served with a Statement of Claim asserting that Trio was in breach of the underlying lease agreement with the underlying lessor with respect to the ownership of the mineral claims comprising the Empire Property. Trio filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on July 20, 2006. Management of Trio and the Company are of the opinion that the Statement of Claim is without merit. As at August 31, 2007, the outcome of these proceedings is uncertain. The resolution of this uncertainty will determine whether there is a loss or impairment of the Company’s mining interest in the property. As the outcome has yet to be determined, the Company has not made any provision in the financial statement for any loss or impairment in the carrying value of the mineral property. |
| |
c) | Vianey Mine Silver Project |
| |
| On April 11, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of Minerales Jazz which is the beneficial holder of the Vianey Mine concession (Note 3). The Vianey Property is held pursuant to an exploitation concession issued on May 5, 1979 by the government of Mexico and will expire in 2029, unless renewed. |
| |
| On June 28, 2006, the Company signed an Option Agreement with Wits Basin whereby the Company granted Wits Basin the option to acquire up to a 50% interest in the Vianey Property. On December 18, 2006, Wits Basin has earned a 25% interest in the Vianey Property by issuing 600,000 of its common shares and incurring US$500,000 in exploration expenditures, and entered into a joint venture agreement with the Company. The Company, who will act as the operator, holds the remaining 75% interest under the joint venture. |
| |
| Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Wits Basin maintains its option to earn an additional 25% interest in the Vianey Property by fulfilling certain payment and expenditure requirements, including the issuance of 500,000 shares received on January 9, 2007 and incurring an additional US$500,000 exploration expenditures for funding of a Phase II drilling project on or before September 30, 2007, which date has been extended by the Company. As of August 31, 2007, Wits Basin incurred US$100,000 towards Phase II drilling project. |
| |
| The Company issued to an unrelated party 100,000 of its common shares, with a fair value of $30,000, as a finder’s fee. |

d) | Stock Based Compensation |
| |
| The fair value of stock options and brokers warrants granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants made during the periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006: |
| | 2007 | 2006 |
| | | |
| Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate | 3.9 – 4.5% | 3.9 – 4.4% |
| Expected Annual Dividend Yield | 0% | 0% |
| Expected Stock Price Volatility | 82% | 167 – 217% |
| Expected Life of Option | 2 - 5 year | 4 year |
| The weighted average fair value per share of stock options granted during the period ended August 31, 2007 was $0.37 (February 28, 2006 – $Nil) per share. During the period ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $57,108 and $188,857, respectively, of stock based compensation expense for options granted to directors, officers, and consultants. |
| |
| Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models may not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options and brokers warrants. |
| |
e) | Escrow Shares |
| |
| As at August 27, 2007, the number of shares held in escrow was 226,630 (November 30, 2006 – 248,168). |
