EAST DELTA RESOURCES CORP.
(a development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of East Delta Resources
Corp., (a development stage company), have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in
East Delta's latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the
financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained
in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2005, as
reported in Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.
NOTE 2 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, East Delta began recording compensation expense
associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.
Prior to January 1, 2006, East Delta accounted for stock options according to
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related
compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value.
East Delta adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under
SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from
prior periods.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, East Delta did not grant any
options to its employees.
East Delta adopted the disclosure requirements of FAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation and FAS No. 148 with respect to pro forma disclosure of
compensation expense for options issued. For purposes of the pro forma
disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table illustrates
the effect on net loss and net loss per share if East Delta had applied the fair
value provisions of FAS 123, to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 3 - NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
During the first quarter of 2006:
- East Delta repaid its related party loan in the amount of $150,000.
- East Delta received an advance of $25,000 from a related party to fund
its operations. This advance is due on demand, bears no interest and
is unsecured.
There were no related party transactions during the second quarter of 2006.
NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During the period between March 15, 2006 and May 2, 2006, East Delta sold an
aggregate of 980,000 Euros in convertible debentures at a price of 1 Euro per
debenture. The debentures are 6% senior secured convertible notes, convertible
at the option of the note holders into shares of the East Delta's common stock,
at a conversion price of 0.80 Euros. The maturity date for these notes is March
31, 2008.
Total proceeds to East Delta amounted to $1,193,565. The sale of the securities
was to non-resident foreign shareholders, exempt from registration under
Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. A sales commission totaling 6% of
the proceeds, in cash and common stock, was paid relating to this issuance. The
total commission on the sale of $76,660 was capitalized to deferred financing
costs and will be amortized over the life of the note under the effective
interest method. As of June 30, 2006, the cash portion of this commission had
been paid and the common stock portion was accrued. $2,720 of deferred financing
costs had been amortized as of June 30, 2006.
As of June 30, 2006, East Delta received 980,000 EUROS, approximately $1,193,565
from its investors. Because the conversion prices are higher than the market
trading price of East Delta's common stock when the notes were issued, no
Beneficial Conversion Feature was created. East Delta analyzed these instruments
for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. East
Delta determined the convertible notes were conventional and the warrants met
the criteria for classification in stockholders equity under SFAS 133 and EITF
00-19. Therefore, derivative accounting is not applicable for these instruments.
NOTE 5 - COMMON STOCK
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, East Delta issued 408,500 shares of
common stock to consultants for their services. These shares were valued and
recorded at their fair value of $264,205.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, East Delta did not issue any additional
shares of common stock.
NOTE 6 - MINORITY INTEREST RESTATEMENT
In August 2006, East Delta determined there was an error in accounting from
2005. In April 2005, East Delta incorporated a subsidiary in Delaware under the
name Sino-Canadian Metals Inc. East Delta consolidated Sino-Canadian Metal and
previously recorded a minority interest of $299,940. East Delta determined that
the recognition on the minority was improperly recorded. Originally, minority
interest was recorded at the value of cash received for stock issued by
Sino-Canadian Metal. Minority interest should have been recorded at the
percentage of ownership of the minority shareholders in the net assets of
Sino-Canadian Metal. Consequently, the consolidated balance sheet was restated
for the line items shown below.
Consolidated balance sheet:
As of December 31, 2005
As originally filed Restated
------------------- --------
Minority interest $ 299,940 $ 103,743
Additional paid in capital 22,697,589 22,893,786
Total stockholders' equity 564,120 460,377
7
NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE RESTATEMENT
East Delta evaluates the application of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 for all of its
financial instruments and concluded the outstanding warrants at June 30, 2005
were derivatives because East Delta did not have sufficient number of authorized
shares to settle these warrants. East Delta is required to record the warrants
on its balance sheet as liabilities measured at fair value with changes in the
values of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of
operations as "Gain (loss) on derivative liabilities." The warrants were
originally accounted for as equity instead of liabilities. The statement of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 has been restated to
reflect the impact of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The effects of the restatements
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were a gain of $925,719 and a
loss of $409,026, respectively. In May 2006, East Delta received waivers from
its warrant holders acknowledging that East Delta does not have sufficient
authorized shares of common stock available to issue upon the exercise of all of
East Delta's outstanding warrants and agreed not to request East Delta to
exercise their warrants. These waivers expire at the earlier of December 31,
2006 or at such time as East Delta has amended its Certificate of Incorporation
to permit the exercise of all outstanding warrants.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Overview
East Delta Resources Corp., formerly Avic Technologies Ltd., ("we", or the
"Company" or "EDLT"), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on March 4, 1999.
We are a start-up, development stage company and have not yet generated or
realized any revenues from our new business operations. Since inception, we have
sold our equity to raise money for property acquisitions, corporate expenses and
to repay outstanding indebtedness. Our current business strategy focuses on gold
exploration and mining development in main land China.
There is little historical financial information about our company upon which to
base an evaluation of our performance. We have never generated any revenues from
our mining operations. Accordingly, comparisons with prior periods are not
meaningful. We are 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.
Our Business
In January 2004, our Board of Directors decided that we should reorganize and
reorient the company to profit from the recent worldwide strong revival of
interest in precious minerals. Towards this goal, on February 4, 2004, we signed
an agreement to acquire 100% of the common stock of Omega Resources, Inc.
("Omega"), a related party by virtue of common ownership and management. The
acquisition, which was consummated on June 30, 2004, permitted us to undertake
our business direction towards mineral exploration and mining, as Omega was in
the business of mineral exploration in China.
As stated, our objective is to profit from the recent worldwide revival of
interest in precious metals. Our primary activity will be in gold exploration,
mining development and production. We also plan to participate in other mineral
exploration and mining, specifically, nickel, zinc and lead. The geographic
focus is in growth mining regions in Southeast Asia, primarily in China. Our
goal is to establish ourselves, in these areas, as a major force in the mining
industry by bringing together a network of financing sources, management
expertise, the latest mining technology and extensive local industry contacts.
Business Strategy
We plan to develop our business mostly through acquisitions and/or joint
ventures with local participants, in which they will have substantial equity and
management control. Priority will be given to the more advanced potential mining
properties, where most of the exploration and pre-feasibility study work have
already been completed or by the outright purchase of a majority interest in
operating mines. The objective is to become the owner of producing mines in the
shortest term possible. With profit potential adequately demonstrated and
funding available, a new plant can be in production as quickly as twelve months.
Business Activities
As its initial entry into the mining business, Omega previously acquired 100% of
the common shares of Amingo Resources Inc. ("Amingo"). Amingo is a Canadian
based company whose major work is in gold exploration and mining development in
China and whose principals have been exploring in China for over five years. Our
efforts for the immediate term will be directed to develop Amingo and its
Chinese properties.
In February, 2004, Amingo signed a Joint Venture Contract with the provincial
and county governments of Guizhou Province and Jinping County, respectively, to
explore and mine gold within their territories. Under the terms of the
agreement, Amingo has acquired rights to develop an 85 square kilometer property
in the county, and is eligible to earn up to 84% of the net revenues extracted
from this particular property. In early May, 2004 the Guizhou Provincial
Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau approved the "Joint Venture" for
Guizhou Amingo Resources Inc. The success of this venture is fully dependant on
us obtaining the necessary financing, and no assurances can be given that
sufficient funding will be found, and even if such funding is located, that the
venture will result in any viable ore bodies being uncovered and profitably
mined. As at September 30, 2004, our Chinese Joint Venture, operating under the
name Guizhou Amingo Resources Inc., received its business license, valid for a
period of twenty years.
9
With respect to such financing, Amingo has agreed to contribute $1,000,000 to
fund Guizhou's early stage preliminary exploration activities. As of December
31, 2005, Amingo has funded $850,000 of this amount and the remaining $150,000
must be funded by June 30, 2006. Amingo also contributed approximately $614,000,
which is to be used for activities outside of the Joint Venture and accordingly,
Amingo's net investment in China are approximately $1,770,000 at June 30, 2006.
To date Amingo recognized approximately $1,500,000 loss from its investment in
China.
In late 2005, we signed an agreement with a Chinese mining company, Huaqiao Gold
Mining Company of China ("Huaqiao Gold Mine") that would acquire majority
ownership of the Huaqiao Gold Mine. In September 2005, Guizhou placed a deposit
of $151,043 on this potential purchase. Under the terms of the agreement, East
Delta will own 77.5% of the acquired company and will be required to inject
$500,000 over three months, while Huaqiao will transfer complete ownership of
all assets and permits related to the mine to this entity. In addition, the
acquired company will have rights to explore and mine an additional one sq. km.
of prospective land situated to the NE side of the existing mine. As of June 30,
2006, the acquisition has not been closed and the deposit of $151,043 was
expensed due to the uncertainty of the closing of the acquisition.
In October 2005, Guizhou Amingo signed a Consignment Cooperation Agreement with
Beijing TianMeng Rui Si Information Consulting Ltd ("Beijing TianMeng") to
manage and supervise its exploration activity on the Mining Project. Under the
terms of the agreement, Beijing TianMeng will be responsible for the complete
project exploration management, including, but not limited to, drilling planning
and drilling, geochemical and geophysical studies, trenching, survey and
mapping, related geological research, engineering flow sheet development,
logistics, staffing, and equipment rental. Under the terms of the contract
Guizhou-Amingo agreed to pay 8,500,000 RMB towards the future costs of work
contemplated at the site. 7,000,000 RMB was paid prior to December 31, 2005 and
was expensed by East Delta. The remaining 1,500,000 RMB was paid in January
2006.
In March 2006, our subsidiary, Sino-Canadian Metals signed a letter of intent
with Qinghai Hua Long Ding Shun Minerals Ltd of Qinghai Province, China, to form
a joint venture to develop a nickel-copper property covering an area of
approximately 17 square kilometers. The property is located 160 kilometers
southeast of XiNing, the capital of Qinghai Province in northwest China. The
proposed joint venture agreement calls for Sino-Canadian to initially deposit
$300,000 into the project in order to eventually obtain 80% equity ownership,
with further exploration and development expenditure of up to $4.7 million
within two years, upon receipt of positive preliminary results. Due diligence on
this potential acquisition is planned over the next six months.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
Readers are referred to the cautionary statement below that addresses
forward-looking statements.
As a result of the transaction above, the following discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included in this
Form 10-QSB and our recent 10-KSB filing for the nine months transition period
ending December 31, 2005.
Our operations have been fairly minimal to date, and have not generated any
revenues. Accordingly, we are considered to be in the development stage as
defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7.
Revenues and Cash Position
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we had no
revenues.
As of June 30, 2006, our cash position was $1,006,371 compared to $1,235,008 as
of June 30, 2005.
We are of the opinion that East Delta needs to obtain additional funds for the
next 12 months to further develop its major property, Bake and to integrate at
least one acquisition of an additional property into operations. The subsequent
progress on this acquisition and on any additional acquisitions will depend on
East Delta's ability to find several million dollars in financing.
10
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
Our total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were
$296,908 and $807,601, respectively, of which a large portion was in stock based
compensation valued at $264,205. This amount was paid in common stock as
finder's fees to compensate consultants in assisting us in several potential
Chinese acquisitions and for services related to investor relations. Total
expenses compare to $740,044 and $2,655,144 paid in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Our general and administrative expenses for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted to $203,951 and $450,394.
This compares to $143,025 and $341,070 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2005, respectively.
Our average monthly recurring expenses during these three months approximated
$30,000, and includes employee salaries, management salaries, office overhead,
professional fees, travel, business entertainment, equipment, and insurance.
No officer and director compensation expenses were paid for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006. Total officer and director compensation expenses
amounted to $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
We currently occupy a 500 sq. ft. of space for our offices in Suite 600, 447
St-Francois Xavier St., Montreal, Quebec under a month to month arrangement,
rent free. As of April 1, 2005, the owner of our office space who is also a
director and shareholder of East Delta, agreed to let us continue occupying
these offices rent free until further notice.
During the three and six months ending June 30, 2006, the Company incurred an
operating loss of $296,908 and $807,601, respectively, as compared to $740,044
and $2,655,144 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. As of June 30,
2006, we have a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $23,220,775.
Loss per share was $0.01 and $0.02 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2006 as compared to an income per share of $0.00 for the three months ended June
30, 2005 and a loss per share of $.08 for the six months ending June 30, 2005.
Plan of Operations
Overall, during 2006, the Company's emphasis will be to:
a. define the mineral resources and reserves in the Jiaoyun zone of the core
property (Bake) in accordance with US/Canadian reporting standards;
Although the acquisition at Huaqiao has not been closed as yet, management has
decided to proceed as if it has and has begun to do the following:
b. map, sample and plan drill program at Huaqiao;
c. develop plan to modernize (including addressing environmental and safety
issues) the facilities at Huaqiao and expand capacity;
Additional plans are:
d. make the described property acquisitions and seek other acquisitions;
e. consolidate the acquisitions by integrating them into the Company's Chinese
operations;
f. define and undertake a significant drilling program to fuel internal growth
from the properties.
Bake - Jiaoyun
Surface mapping has been completed for an 8 square kilometer area of interest
lying within the 85 square kilometer Bake-Jiaoyun concession. The objective of
the next phase is to focus activities on the most promising of the many
mineralization zones that have been mapped within different sectors of the
mapped portions of the property, while completing the surface mapping of the
remaining 2 square kilometer area of interest.
The company will conduct geophysical analysis as well as trenching and drilling
campaigns to determine/verify the grades and thickness of the zones that are
predicted in resource models and preliminary exploration results.
11
The company intends to:
a. assess and prioritize the potential of known mineralized zones;
b. explore the high priority deposits;
c. prepare resource estimates to US/Canadian standards; and
d. substantially increase our measured and indicated (proven and probable) gold
resource and reserve base.
Bake - Zone 1 (NE Ruixin) and Zone 2 (SW Ruixin)
RuiXin has identified at least 7 veins on their property, which protrude into
the Bake territory both at their head and tail ends. The immediate activities
underway in these two areas are surface mapping programs, intended to determine
the extent that these seven veins continue into the Bake claim. Drilling plans
will be based on the results of the ongoing scoping study. The goal is to
prioritize the potential of known mineralized zones, explore the high priority
deposits, and prepare resource estimates to US/Canadian standards.
Upon successful determination of the resources in these two zones (1 and 2),
preparatory work for the sizing of the future gold extraction plan will
continue. This program should yield additional proven/probable reserves in the
short term.
Huaqiao
As indicated earlier, that although the acquisition at Huaqiao has not been
closed as yet, management has decided to proceed as if it has by budgeting and
planning activities at the existing mine site.
Huaqiao is an operating gold mine with a maximum daily throughput of 100-150
tonnes per day. The historical mine operational procedures and mine records are
not sufficient to show production statistics such as daily tonnes processed,
grade, recovery etc. Nevertheless, the operation was sufficiently successful to
have purchased and installed a new, state of the art mill in 2003 consisting of:
2-stage crushing; ball mill, thickener, 12 flotation cells, and 2 gravity shaker
tables. This mill was operated for a short time, but stopped about two months
after the trainers departed due to a lack of familiarity by the owners, who went
back to using the shaker tables as before. The mining underground is not well
developed, and while underground maps are available, there is no recent geologic
mapping or model of the veins as encountered. Also lacking is regular sampling
of the veins to indicate continuity of grade along the vein.
If the acquisition is closed, East Delta intends to do the following in 2006 and
early 2007:
o Complete surface survey over an additional 0.4 km2;
o Complete underground geologic mapping of all veins;
o Create new geologic model for resource/reserve estimation;
o Establish a systematic sampling regime for exploration and mining;
o Based on results from the mapping, model and sampling, plan drill holes.
o Begin surface facility training for flotation mill in February 2006;
o Determine most suitable mining method for maximizing extraction;
o Train operators in underground mining methods;
o Address tailings disposal concerns;
o Assess the need to add labor living quarters;
o Purchase and install additional production equipment as required; and
o Assess and streamline management reporting structure.
The above activities should build upon the proven gold reserves on this property
offering the option to increase future ore production from 150 t/d to 300 t/d.

ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Management has evaluated, with the participation of our President, the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon this evaluation, our President concluded that, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and forms.
We identified deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosure
controls related to the expense recognition of deferred financing costs and
accounting for minority interest. We are in the process of improving our
internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate these
deficiencies through improved supervision and training of our accounting staff.
These deficiencies have been disclosed to our Board of Directors. We believe
that this effort is sufficient to fully remedy these deficiencies and we are
continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and
procedures. Our President and directors will continue to work with our auditors
and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are
adequate and effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this
report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
