PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2006. We are an exploration stage corporation. We do not own any interest in any property, but merely have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property. The one property consists of 20 cells containing 169.029 hectares located in the Nicola Mining Division District of British Columbia, Canada. We intend to explore for gold on the property. Our exploration program should take approximately 365 days, weather permitting. If we do not find mineralized material on the property, we do not know what we will do.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans. Currently, we do not intend to acquire other interests in any other mineral properties. Our business plan is solely to explore one mineral property. If we are successful in our initial endeavors, we may look at other exploration situations.
Background
In March 2005, we paid Laurence Sookochoff, a non-affiliated third party for US$5,000, for the property. Mr Sookochoff is a professional geologist residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. The claim is recorded in the name of Mr. Sookochoff to avoid paying additional fees. Mr. Sookochoff suggested that the property be retained in his name and we concurred therewith. The property was selected by Mr. Brenner after consulting with Mr. Sookochoff. No money was paid to Mr. Sookochoff to hold the claim. No money will be paid to Mr. Sookochoff to transfer the property to us. Mr. Sookochoff has provided us with a declaration of trust stating that he holds the property in trust for us. Mr. Sookochoff will issue a bill of sale to a subsidiary corporation to be formed by us should mineralized material be discovered on the property.
In March 2005, Walter Brenner, our president, acquired one mineral property containing 20 cells in British Columbia, Canada. British Columbia allows a mineral explorer to claim a portion of available Crown lands as its exclusive area for exploration by registering the claim area on the British Columbia Mineral Titles Online system. The Mineral Titles Online system is the Internet-based British Columbia system used to register, maintain and manage the claims. A cell is an area which appears electronically on the British Columbia Internet Minerals Titles Online Grid and was formerly called a claim. A claim is a grant from the Crown of the available land within the cells to the holder to remove and sell minerals. The online grid is the geographical basis for the cell. Formerly, the claim was established by sticking stakes in the ground to define the area and then recording the staking information. The staking system is now antiquated in British Columbia and has been replaced with the online grid. The property was registered by Laurence Sookochoff, a non affiliated third party. Laurence Sookochoff is a self-employed contract staker and field worker residing in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Under British Columbia law, title to British Columbia mineral claims can only be held by British Columbia residents. In the case of corporations, title must be held by a British Columbia corporation. Since we are an American corporation, we can never possess a legal mineral claim to the land. In order to comply with the law we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time since the legal costs of incorporating a subsidiary corporation, the accounting costs of audited financial statements for the subsidiary corporation, together with the legal and accounting costs of expanding this registration statement would cost several thousands of dollars. Accordingly, we have elected not to create the subsidiary at this time, but will do so if mineralized material is discovered on the property.
In the event that we find mineralized material and the mineralized material can be economically extracted, we will form a wholly owned British Columbia subsidiary corporation and Mr. Sookochoff will convey title to the property to the wholly owned subsidiary corporation. Should Mr. Sookochoff transfer title to another person and that conveyance is recorded before we record our conveyance, that other person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, we will have to cease or suspend activities. We will have a cause of action against Mr. Sookochoff for breach of declaration of trust. Mr. Sookochoff has agreed verbally with us not to cause the title to pass to another entity.
To date we have not performed any work on the property. All Canadian lands and minerals which have not been granted to private persons are owned by either the federal or provincial governments in the name of Her Majesty. Ungranted minerals are commonly known as Crown minerals. Ownership rights to Crown minerals are vested by the Canadian Constitution in the province where the minerals are located. In the case of the Company’s property, that is the province of British Columbia.
In the nineteenth century, the practice of reserving the minerals from fee simple Crown grants was established. Legislation now ensures that minerals are reserved from Crown land dispositions. The result is that the Crown is the largest mineral owner in Canada, both as the fee simple owner of Crown lands and through mineral reservations in Crown grants. Most privately held mineral titles are acquired directly from the Crown. Our property is one such acquisition. Accordingly, fee simple title to our property resides with the Crown. That means that the Crown owns the surface and minerals.
Our claim is a mineral lease issued pursuant to the British Columbia Mineral Act. The lessee has exclusive rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward.
The property is unencumbered, that is there are no claims, liens, charges or liabilities against the property, and there are no competitive conditions, that is the action of some unaffiliated third party, that could affect the property. Further, there is no insurance covering the property and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the property is unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.
To date we have not performed any work on the property. Accordingly, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property, in fact the likelihood that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists is remote.
-5-
There are no native land claims that affect title to the property. We have no plans to try to interest other companies in the property if mineralization is found. If mineralization is found, we will try to develop the property ourselves.
Mr. Sookochoff suggested purchasing the claim to Mr. Brenner. Mr. Brenner after reviewing the matter with Mr. Sookochoff agreed and accordingly it was decided to proceed with the project as discussed herein.
Claims
The following is a list of tenure numbers, claim, date of recording and expiration date of our claims:
Tenure No. | Document Description | Recording | Expiration |
514942 | IXL Mineral Claim | NTS 092I.039 | June 21, 2009 |
Our claim consists of 20 cells comprising of a total of 165.029 hectares.
In order to maintain this claim, Mr. Sookochoff must pay a fee of CDN$4.00 per year per hectare (in total for the IXL claim this is CDN$660.17) or we must perform work on the claim of equivalent value each year after the expiry date. If the work option is chosen, certain paperwork must be filed with the B.C. government along with a nominal filing fee. As long as the CDN$660.17 fee is paid, no work has to be performed to maintain the claim. Under current rules, Mr. Sookochoff can renew the claim indefinitely by paying the fee. We have no idea if the fee to renew the claim will increase after 2009. There is no grace period if there is a default on the work or if Mr. Sookochoff misses renewing the claim. Mr. Sookochoff will not cause the claim to expire as a result of not renewing the same or failing to perform work on the claim, provided mineralized material is found. In the event that our exploration program does not find mineralized material, Mr. Sookochoff will allow the claim to expire and we will cease activities. We will reimburse Mr. Sookochoff for payments made by him to maintain the claim.
The property was selected because gold has been discovered in the area.
Location and Access
The property is located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, northwest of Merrit, south of Kamloops and within two miles of Mineral Hill.
Access can be obtained by road from either Merrit, which is located approximately 25 miles to the southwest or from Kamloops which is located approximately 25 road miles to the north, via the Merrit-Kamloops Highway No. 5 to within two miles of the property. A secondary road, the Peter Hope Lake road, junctions off to the east within two miles south of Stump Lake and provides access to, and through, the property.

Physiography
The property lies between elevations of 2,000 feet and 3,000 feet. The terrain is gently sloping. Vegetation consists mainly of deciduous trees and scattered pine trees.
The property is snow-free from March to December, providing a nine to ten month exploration season.
Property Geology
The major type of rocks found on the property are of the Nicola group of rocks including meta-sediments, volcanics and granatoid rocks. Gold is found in such formations. As of the date hereof, we have not found or determined if gold is located on our property.
History of Previous Work
To our knowledge, there has never been exploration activity on the property.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
We are prospecting for gold. Our target is mineralized material. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. Mineralized material is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we do not find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease activities and you will lose your investment. We anticipate being able to delineate a mineralized body, if one exists, within nine months of beginning exploration.
We do not own any interest in any property, but merely have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of the property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease activities.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on the property and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
-9-
The property is undeveloped raw land. Detailed exploration and surveying has not been initiated. To our knowledge, no previous exploration activities have taken place on the property. The only event that has occurred is the staking of the property by Mr. Sookochoff and five days of prospecting. Mr. Sookochoff examined the surface and took samples. The samples did not reveal anything. Mr. Sookochoff used a hammer, pick and sack to take samples. While Mr. Sookochoff is a geologist, he is not an engineer, and accordingly his area of expertise is limited to geological matters. Before gold retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We cannot predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and evaluate the property. We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the property. We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of 3 phases as follows:
Phase 1 - Compilation and mapping
We intend to engage a technically trained consultant to compile exploration data, analyze it and compile a map. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus. This phase 1 reconnaissance work requires approximately one week of field work by a two person crew. The whole phase, including the initial compilation and the later presentation to management, is estimated to cost $5,000.
Phase 2 - Sampling, test reconnaissance soil sampling/surveys
Upon completion of phase 1, we intend to pursue a field program of prospecting and geochemical surveying to determine the extent and distribution of mineralization on the surface of the property which may indicate the potential presence of a reserve. Geochemical surveys involve a consulting geologist gathering samples of soil and rock from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization. All samples gathered will be sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analyzed for metal content. Cost for phase 2 is estimated to be $15,000.
Phase 3 - Detailed field work and Magnetometer and soil survey
Upon completion of phase 2, we intend to conduct a detailed field examination of potential exploration sites including localized geophysical surveys and localized magnetometer and soil surveys over the prime indicated anomalous zones. We anticipate this phase will cost approximately $20,000.
-10-
Phase 4 - Drilling
Upon completion of phase 3 we intend to begin core sampling which is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 1,400 feet in order to extract samples of earth. Mr. Brenner and the consultant we hire will determine where drilling will occur on the property. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the property. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate activities; proceed with additional exploration of the property; or develop the property. We intend to take our core samples to Geoterrex Limited, analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers located in Toronto, Ontario. Neither we nor our officers or directors have any affiliation with Geoterrex. Geoterrex is a registered assayer.
We estimate the cost of core sampling will be $20 per foot drilled. A drilling rig is required to take the core samples. The cost of the drilling rig is included in the drilling cost per foot. We intend to drill 36 holes to a depth of 100 feet for a total cost of $72,000. We estimate that it will take up to three months to drill the holes to a depth of 100 feet. We will pay an exploration consultant up to a maximum of $5,000 per month for his services during the three month period or a total of $15,000. The consultant will be responsible for managing the project, supervising the core sampling, and hiring subcontractors to perform work on the property. Our employees will not have involvement in the work performed, but will be overseeing everything. The total cost for analyzing the core samples will be $3,000.
The breakdown of estimated times and dollars was made by Mr. Brenner.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.
If we are unable to complete exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease activities until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease activities. If we cease activities, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything else.
We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for mineralized material. We may or may not find any mineralized material. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event.
We do not have any plan to take our company to revenue generation. That is because we have not found economic mineralization yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.
We anticipate starting exploration operations in August 2007, weather permitting.
If we do not find mineralized material on the property, Mr. Sookochoff will allow the claim to expire and we will cease activities.
-11-
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal mineral from our property. Readily available gold markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.
Regulations
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
| * | locating claims |
| |
| * | working claims |
| |
| * | reporting work performed |
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply with these laws to operate our business. Compliance with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our activities. These regulations will not impact our exploration activities. The only current costs we anticipate at this time are reclamation costs. Reclamation costs are the costs of restoring the property to its original condition should mineralized material not be found. We estimate that it will cost between $3,000 and $9,000 to restore the property to its original condition, should mineralized material not be found. The variance is based upon the number of holes that are drilled by us.
Environmental Law
We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mineral properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:
| 1. | Health and Safety |
| |
| 2. | Archaeological Sites |
| |
| 3. | Exploration Access |
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
-12-
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of operation before we start any mineral activities. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our activities and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with the act and will continue to comply with the act in the future. We believe that compliance with the act will not adversely affect our business activities in the future.
Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only “cost and effect” of compliance with environmental regulations in British Columbia is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the property. We cannot speculate on those costs in light of our ongoing plans for exploration. When we are ready to drill, we will notify the B.C. Inspector of Mines. He will require a bond to be put in place to assure that the property will be restored to its original condition. We have estimated the cost of restoring the property to be between $3,000 to $9,000, depending upon the number of holes drilled.
Subcontractors
We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than our officers and directors. Our officers and directors are part-time employees and will devote about 10% of their time to our operations. Our officers and directors do not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Our officers and directors will handle our administrative duties. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of our property. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future.

Dividends
We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.
Section Rule 15(g)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6, and 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
-15-
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the salesperson’s compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approve the transaction for the customer’s account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no securities authorized for issuance thereunder.

This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business activities.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills.
To meet our need for cash we raised money from a private placement. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.
Our officers and directors are willing to loan us additional money to complete our exploration program. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We do not own any interest in any property, but merely have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property. Even if we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the property. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of our prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a reserve and we have determined it is economical to extract the minerals from the land.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don’t have enough money, we will cease activities until we raise more money. If we can’t or don’t raise more money, we will cease activities. If we cease activities, we don’t know what we will do and we don’t have any plans to do anything.
-17-
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.
Milestones
The following are our milestones:
1. March 2008 - April 2008, we intend to engage a technically trained consultant to compile exploration data, analyze it and compile a map. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this report. This phase 1 reconnaissance work requires approximately one week of field work by a two person crew. The whole phase, including the initial compilation and the later presentation to management, is estimated to cost $5,000.
2. May 2008 - October 2008, we intend to pursue a field program of prospecting and geochemical surveying to determine the extent and distribution of mineralization on the surface of the property which may indicate the potential presence of a reserve. Geochemical surveys involve a consulting geologist gathering samples of soil and rock from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization. All samples gathered will be sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analyzed for metal content. The cost for of this activity is estimated to be $15,000.
3. March 2009 - June 2009, we intend to conduct a detailed field examination of potential exploration sites including localized geophysical surveys and localized magnetometer and soil surveys over the prime indicated anomalous zones. We anticipate this will cost approximately $20,000.
4. July 2009 - September 2009, we intend to begin core drilling. Core drilling will cost $20 per foot. We intend to drill 36 holes to a depth of 100 feet for a total cost of $72,000. Core drilling will be subcontracted to non-affiliated third parties. No power source is needed for core drilling. The drilling rig operates on diesel fuel. All electric power needed for light and heating while on the property will be generated from gasoline powered generators. Currently, we do not have sufficient capital to complete this activity.
5. March 2010 - April 2010, we intend to have an independent third party analyze the samples from the core drilling to determine if the property contains mineralized material. We estimate that it will cost $3,000 to analyze the core samples.
All funds for the foregoing activities will be obtained from a future private placement, a public offering or a loan from our management.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from activities. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct research and engage in exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our activities. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Activities
From Inception on March 24, 2006
We acquired the right to explore one property containing one claim. We do not own any interest in any property, but merely have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property. The property has been staked and we intend to begin exploration activities shortly.
Since inception, we have used loans from Mr. Brenner, our president, to stake the property, to incorporate us, and for legal and accounting expenses. Net cash provided by him since inception on March 24, 2006 to January 31, 2008 was $38,897. The loans are not evidenced by any written instrument and are to be repaid at our discretion. The loans are without interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business activities.
We issued 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Brenner on March 24, 2006, pursuant to Reg. S of the Securities Act of 1933. Mr. Brenner is our president, chief executive officer and a director. Mr. Brenner acquired these shares at a price of $0.00001 per share for total proceeds to us of $30.
We completed a private placement of 2,100,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share to seven purchasers on August 23, 2006, pursuant to Reg. S of the Securities Act of 1933. The total amount received from the private placement was $210.
We completed a private placement of 700,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share to seven purchasers on August 29, 2006, pursuant to Reg. S of the Securities Act of 1933. The total amount received from the private placement was $700.
-19-
We completed a private placement of 335,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.05 per share to seventeen purchasers on October 16, 2006, pursuant to Reg. S of the Securities Act of 1933. The total amount received from the private placement was $16,750.
As of January 31, 2008, our total assets were $3,249 and our total liabilities were $42,234.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Acropolis Precious Metals Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Acropolis Precious Metals Inc. (the Company), an exploration stage company, as of January 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2008, for the period March 24, 2006 (inception) to January 31, 2007, and for the period March 24, 2006 (inception) to January 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Acropolis Precious Metals Inc., an exploration stage company, as of January 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2008, for the period March 24, 2006 (inception) to January 31, 2007, and for the period March 24, 2006 (inception) to January 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ACROPOLIS PRECIOUS METALS INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2008
1. | OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
| Organization |
|
| The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on March 24, 2006. |
|
| Exploration Stage Activities |
|
| The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage. |
|
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| a) | Basis of Presentation |
|
| | The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. |
|
| | The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At January 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $3,249 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $38,985. For the period March 24, 2006 (inception) to January 31, 2008, the Company had no revenues and incurred a net loss of $56,675. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to obtain additional equity capital to finance its exploration program and future operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing this objective. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
|
| b) | Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
|
| | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
| c) | Financial Instruments |
| | |
| | The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and some of its assets and |

|
| liabilities give rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. |
|
| d) | Mineral Interest Acquisition Costs |
|
| | The Company initially capitalizes all mineral interest acquisition costs. |
|
| | The Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. |
|
| e) | Exploration Costs |
|
| | The Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until the establishment of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probable reserves are established and production is determined to be probable, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized and depleted on a units-of-production basis over the estimated proven and probable reserves. |
|
| f) | Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
| | The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143’), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. |
|
| | The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded. |

January 31, 2008
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
|
| g) | Environmental Costs |
|
| | Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts. |
|
| h) | Foreign Currency Translation |
|
| | The Company’s reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Canadian dollar transactions are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transaction. Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and exchange gains and losses are reflected in operations. |
|
| i) | Income Taxes |
|
| | The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. |
|
| j) | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share |
|
| | The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares (such as from stock options and convertible securities) outstanding during the period, if dilutive. |
|
3. | MINERAL CLAIM INTEREST |
|
| On April 3, 2006, the Company acquired the IXL mineral claim located in the Nicola Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada in consideration for $5,000. The claim is registered in the name of the vendor, who has executed a trust agreement to hold the claim in trust on behalf of the Company. The claim expires June 21, 2008. |
| |
| At January 31, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5,000 and reduced the carrying amount of the mineral interest acquisition costs to $0. |

|
| On October 16, 2006, the Company sold 335,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share for cash proceeds of $16,750. |
|
| On July 20, 2007, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 to register 3,035,000 shares of common stock for resale by existing non-affiliate stockholders of the Company at $0.05 per share until the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. |
|
| The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities. |
|
6. | INCOME TAXES |
| |
| The provisions for income taxes differ from the result obtained by applying the statutory income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes. The difference results from the following items: |
|
| | Year Ended January | | Period March 24, | |

Based on management’s present assessment the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $19,270 at January 31, 2008 attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward of $56,675 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforward expires $7,239 in year 2027 and $49,436 in year 2028.
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the inception of our company through the date of this Form 10-K. Our financial statements for the period from inception to January 31, 2008, included in this report have been audited by Michael T. Studer, CPA, P.C., 18 East Sunrise Highway, Suite 311 Freeport, New York 11520, as set forth in this annual report.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and proced ures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls
We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the indivi dual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
-31-
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
-32-
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
