(expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Operations
Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. (the company) owns gold mining and milling operations in Kirkland Lake, Canada, which were inactive when acquired in December 2001.

Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of business as they come due.

At July 31, 2006, the company has working capital of $17.2 million and has committed to spend $1.1 million on eligible flow-through expenditures before December 31, 2006. The funds required to continue operations and exploration activities during this period have been financed primarily from the issue of equity or convertible debt instruments.

Management estimates that these funds, together with cash flow from targeted operations, will be sufficient to meet the company's obligations and capital expenditure plans for the coming year.

These financial statements do not include any adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

Measurement uncertainty

The Company's history of operating losses from mining operations has resulted in cumulative losses to July 31, 2006 of $68,279,344.

Management estimates, using a constant gold price of $625 per ounce and operating costs similar to historical costs incurred over the past year, that annual production of between 75,000 and 85,000 ounces of gold in fiscal 2007 and for each year thereafter would be required to cover costs of operations and estimated capital expenditures required for mining operations.

Gold price or Canadian/ U.S. dollar exchange rate movements, changes in the costs of labour and other costs or unforeseen production difficulties could impact on the ability of the Company to achieve its goals from operations. Aside from the prevailing favourable price of gold and available public information about prices achieved for purchase transactions involving other mineral properties, management has concluded that the carrying values of mineral properties and other mining assets is not impaired as a result of the Company’s success in:

      • Realizing production improvements;
      • Containing and reducing operating costs;
      • Completing a number of significant capital investment projects;
      • Achieving a threefold increase in proven and probable gold reserves to open up a number of high quality underground exploration targets.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     
(a)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") in Canada. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company's audited financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2006.

     
(b)

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     

The company has a stock option plan as described in note 9. Effective May 1, 2004, the company adopted the new accounting standard for stock-based compensation. The standard sets out a fair value approach that is required for all stock-based transactions. Prior to May 1, 2004, the company used the intrinsic value-based method to account for its employee stock incentive plan and therefore no compensation expense had been recognized under the plan for stock options issued to employees and directors. This change in policy has been applied retroactively without restatement of prior periods.

     

Stock-based compensation on options is recorded as an expense in the period the options are vested, based on the fair value estimated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing method.


3. SECURITY DEPOSITS

The company’s short-term investments include $225,000 held as collateral to provide a letter of credit to the Independent Electricity Market Operator as security for payment in connection with ongoing electricity usage, and $500,000 as a security deposit at the Royal Bank of Canada to cover payroll electronic file transfers.

9. OPTIONS

The company has adopted a stock option plan. The plan allows the company to grant options to directors, senior officers and employees of or consultants to the company and its subsidiaries or employees of a corporation providing management services to the company. The aggregate number of shares which may be subject to issuance pursuant to options granted under this plan is 3,500,000 shares.

The plan provides that the exercise price of an option granted under the plan shall not be less than the market price at the time of granting the option. Options have a maximum term of 10 years and terminate on the 90th day after the optionee ceased to be any of a director, officer, consultant or employee; on the 30th day after the optionee ceased to be an employee or consultant if the optionee was engaged in providing investor relations services for the company; or the earlier of the 90th day and the third month after the optionee ceased to be an employee or officer if the optionee is subject to the tax laws of the United States of America. Notwithstanding that options can have a maximum term of 10 years it is presently the policy of the company to issue options for terms of five years.

The change in stock options issued during the quarter ended July 31, 2006 are as follows:

            Weighted  
      Number of shares     average exercise  
            price

9. OPTIONS (CONT'D)

The company grants all employee stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. Compensation costs for all grants under the employee stock option plan have been determined by the fair value method. Compensation expense recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $38,975.

The fair value of each option at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

    JULY 31 APRIL 30
    2006 2006
  Expected life of options 5 years 5 years
  Risk-free interest rate 3 - 4% 3 - 4%
  Expected stock price volatility 50 50
  Expected dividend yield 0% 0%

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the company's stock options.

For the period ended July 31, 2006, the value ascribed to unexercised options recorded as a component of shareholders' equity is as follows:

      JULY 31     APRIL 30  
      2006     2006  
  Balance - Beginning of period as restated $  1,079,766   $  1,184,062  
  Accretion of options granted   38,975     365,440  
  Exercise of options   (194,032 )   (456,217 )
  Options forfeited   (6,054 )   (13,519 )
  Balance - End of period $  918,655   $  1,079,766
