Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the balance sheet of Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation as at December 31, 2003 and the statements of loss, shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian and United States of America generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITOR FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA - U.S. REPORTING CONFLICT

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has incurred substantial losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our report to the shareholders dated May 13, 2004 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such uncertainty in the auditors' report when the uncertainty is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

TRI-LATERAL VENTURE CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003 and 2002
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

 

Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company is in the exploration stage and is currently investigating exploration opportunities. The Company currently has title to 10 patented mineral claims located in the Red Lake Mining Division of Ontario.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At December 31, 2003 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $101,787 and has accumulated losses of $6,860,738 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The Company was incorporated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act on April 24, 1967 as Jolly Jumper Products of America Limited. The Company changed its name on September 25, 1987 to Sun Valley Hot Springs Ranch Inc., on March 26, 1991 to Tri-Lateral Free Trade Inc., on June 19, 1995 to Tri-Lateral Investments Corporation and on October 2, 1998 to Tri-Lateral Venture Corporation.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are stated in Canadian dollars. Except as disclosed in Note 10, these financial statements conform in all material respects with GAAP in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

(a) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share ("LPS") is calculated by dividing loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted LPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. As at December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Therefore, there was no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted LPS in 2003 and 2002.

(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)

 

(b) Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable. Loans payable are interest-free. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.

(c) Income Taxes

The Company has adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and those reported in the financial statements. The future tax assets or liabilities are calculated using the tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to be settled. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.

(d) Resource Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

The acquisition of mineral properties are recorded at cost. Exploration and development costs relating to these properties are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time the costs are amortized on the unit of production basis, or until the properties are abandoned or sold, at which time the costs are written off. Mineral properties are abandoned, when the claims are no longer in good standing or the agreements covering the claims are in default, and in either case, management had determined that abandonment is appropriate. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future probability of profitable revenues from the property or from the sale of property.

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which to not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs 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.

At December 31, 2003 the Company has accumulated Canadian Exploration Expenses of $762,367 and Canadian Development Expenses of $32,391. These expenses carryforward indefinitely and are available to offset certain taxable income of future years at various rates per year.

The Company has also accumulated a capital loss of $500,000, which can be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future years' capital gains.

The Company does not have any other future income tax assets or liabilities. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its future income tax assets based on the extent to which it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be realized during the carryforward periods to utilize all future tax assets.

Note 9 Subsequent Events

On May 6, 2004 the Company split its common stock on the basis of seven new shares for one old share.

On May 6, 2004 the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pan American Gold Corporation ("Pan American") by issuing 3,370,000 post-split shares of its common stock. The former shareholders of Pan American would then own 9.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. Pan American is a private resource company with an interest in undeveloped resource properties in British Columbia, Canada and Nevada, United States of America. The Agreement closed on May 7, 2004.

Note 10 Differences between Canadian and United States Accounting Principles - (cont'd)

The Company's accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") as follows:

a) Resource Properties

Under Canadian GAAP, resource property acquisition costs and exploration costs may be deferred and amortized to the extent they meet certain criteria. Under US GAAP, acquisition costs and exploration costs must be expensed as incurred unless the resource properties have proven reserves. Therefore, an additional acquisition and exploration expense is required under US GAAP.

b) Accounting for Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS-109"), deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, measured using the provisions of enacted tax laws. A deferred tax asset with respect to loss carry-forwards and timing differences would not be recognized and the application of US GAAP does not result in a material difference from Canadian GAAP.

New Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued but not effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
