(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited – prepared by management)
December 31, 2007
1. Basis of Presentation and Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company’s business had recently consisted of holding investments in primarily mineral exploration companies. During fiscal 2006 Management determined that shareholders of the Company would better realize the fair value of the Company’s assets through their distribution to the shareholders. As a result, during fiscal 2006, the Company distributed substantially all of its investments to shareholders both by way of a dividend in kind and a return of capital. After investment distributions to shareholders and sales in the open market, the Company had disposed of all of its investments by September 30, 2006. During fiscal 2007 and to date, Management has been evaluating numerous possible business acquisitions with which the Company can move forward. While the Company has more than sufficient cash resources to fund its limited operating expenses for the upcoming year, future profitable oper ations are dependent upon management finding a viable business for the Company.
These interim financial statements, that were not subject to audit or review by the Company’s external accountants, follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007 except for the adoption of Sections 1535, 3862 and 3863 of the CICA Handbook as described in note 2 below. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007 as not all disclosures required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for annual financial statements are presented.
2.
Newly adopted accounting policies
Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted the following accounting standards related to financial instruments. These accounting policy changes were adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement of prior period financial statements.
Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, 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, Financial Instruments – disclosures, and 3863, Financial Instruments – presentation, 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.
3.
Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the carrying values of the various financial instrument categories:
| |
Category | Carrying value |
Held for trading (Cash and Cash Equivalents) | $ 1,972,916 |
Other financial liabilities (Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Due to related parties) |
$ 310,264 |
Other financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value and cost due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Held for trading investments are carried at fair value which approximates cost due to their short-term nature.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

These related party transactions were in the normal course of business and were recorded at the exchange amount, being the amount established and agreed to by the two parties.

The Company is currently not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
