REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders of

Strathmore Minerals Corp.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Strathmore Minerals Corp. as at December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

DECEMBER 31, 2005





1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS



Strathmore Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and is considered to be in the exploration stage.


The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production.




2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Principles of consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Minera Peruran S.A. (incorporated under the laws of Peru), and Strathmore Resources (US) Ltd. (incorporated under the laws of Nevada, USA).  Significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Cash and equivalents


Cash is comprised of cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.


Foreign currency translation


The Company’s subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents  using the temporal method.  The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating those in effect at the time of the transaction.  Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.


Short term investments


Short term investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value on an aggregate basis.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)



Property and equipment


Property and equipment is recorded at cost and amortization is calculated using the declining-balance method, unless otherwise noted, at the following annual rates:


 

Office equipment

20%

 

Leasehold improvements

5 year straight-line

 

Computer equipment

30%

 

Computer software

50%




Mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs


The Company records mineral property interests, which consist of the right to explore for mineral deposits, at cost.  The Company records deferred exploration costs, which consist of costs attributable to the exploration of mineral property interests, at cost.  All direct and indirect costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of these mineral property interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks until the mineral property interests to which they relate are placed into production, the mineral property interests are disposed of through sale or where management has determined there to be an impairment.  If a mineral property interest is abandoned, the mineral property interest and deferred exploration costs will be written off to operations in the period of abandonment.


On an ongoing basis, the capitalized costs are reviewed on a property-by-property basis to consider if there is any impairment on the subject mineral property interest.  Management’s determination for impairment is based on: i) whether the Company’s exploration programs on the mineral property interests have significantly changed, such that previously identified resource targets are no longer being pursued; ii) whether exploration results to date are promising and whether additional exploration work is being planned in the foreseeable future; or iii) whether remaining lease terms are insufficient to conduct necessary studies or exploration work.  As at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, management believes that no impairment relating to the mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs was required.


The recorded cost of mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs is based on cash paid and the value of share considerations issued for mineral property interest acquisitions and exploration costs incurred.  The recorded amount may not reflect recoverable value as this will be dependent on future development programs, the nature of the mineral deposit, commodity prices, adequate funding and the ability of the Company to bring its projects into production.


Flow-through common shares


Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with Canadian income tax legislation.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)


Flow-through common shares (cont’d…)



Effective March 19, 2004, the Company adopted EIC 146 “Flow-Through Shares” that dictates the accounting treatment on renunciation of the tax deductibility of the qualifying expenditures that give rise to taxable temporary differences. The change in accounting policy was applied prospectively. When the Company renounces flow-through expenditures, a portion of the Company’s future income tax assets that were not recognized in previous years, due to the recording of a valuation allowance, will be recognized as a recovery of income taxes in the statement of operations.


Asset retirement obligations


An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that the Company is required to settle.  The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability.  


Stock-based compensation


The Company uses the fair value method whereby the Company recognizes compensation costs for the granting of all stock options and direct awards of stock.  Any consideration paid by the option holders to purchase shares is credited to capital stock.


Income taxes


Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method whereby future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.  The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs.  To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.


Loss per share


The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.  For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.


Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral property interests.  The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.


Athabasca property, Canada


The Company acquired an option to purchase a 100% interest in a uranium property located in Alberta, Canada, by paying $98,192, incurring additional costs of $29,510 and issuing 200,000 common shares valued at $332,000. The property is subject to a 0.75% net smelter returns royalty on certain mineral production and a 4% gross over riding royalty on all diamond production from the property.


Chord property, USA


The Company acquired an option to purchase a 100% interest in a uranium property located in South Dakota, USA, by paying $48,640.  During fiscal 2003, the Company amended the terms of the lease agreement for consideration of 100,000 shares of the Company valued at $56,000 and incurred additional fees of $6,468.  To earn its interest, the Company is required to make annual payments of either 50,000 common shares or US$10,000 per year to July 1, 2009. In fiscal 2005, the Company paid $12,558 (US$10,000) (2004 - $13,616 (US$10,000)).  The property is subject to a 2% gross royalty.


Comstock property, Canada


The Company acquired an option to purchase a 100% interest in certain claims located in British Columbia, Canada by issuing 200,000 common shares valued at $294,000 and incurring additional fees of $3,271.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)



Stock-based compensation


Under United States GAAP, Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) recommended, but did not require, companies to establish a fair market value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company has elected to follow the recommendations of SFAS 123 and has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the fair value based method.


New accounting and disclosure standards were introduced under Canadian GAAP (Note 2) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.  During the year ended December 31, 2003, under Canadian GAAP, the Company adopted, on a prospective basis, the fair value based method of accounting for all stock-based compensation.  Accordingly, there is no difference between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP in the accounting for stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and, 2003.



Mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs


Mineral property costs and related exploration expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP as disclosed in Note 2.  


For United States GAAP purposes, effective until fiscal 2003, the Company expensed, as incurred, the acquisition and exploration costs relating to unproven mineral property interests. This resulted in a decrease in mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs and a corresponding increase in loss for the year of $98,343 for fiscal 2003. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared, then subsequent development costs of the property are capitalized.  The capitalized costs of such properties are to be amortized using the unit of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves and would be measured periodically for recoverability of carrying values.


Effective for fiscal 2004, the Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 04-02 “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets” which concluded that mineral rights are tangible assets.  Accordingly, the Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interests.  Under United States GAAP, exploration costs on mineral properties prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves continue to be expensed as incurred. This resulted in a decrease in mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs and a corresponding increase in loss for the year of $3,794,539 for fiscal 2005 and $1,627,429 for fiscal 2004.


Flow-through shares


Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures (as defined under the Income Tax Act of Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors.  Under Canadian GAAP, flow-through shares are accounted for as described in Note 2.  Under United States GAAP, any difference between the fair value of the non flow-through shares and the fair value of the flow-through shares must be recorded as a liability if a premium is paid by investors for the flow-through shares.  The liability is charged to income as the flow-through share proceeds are expended on qualifying expenditures and the related income tax deductions are renounced to investors.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)



Flow-through shares (cont’d…)


During fiscal 2005, the Company issued 30,000 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $58,500.  As the value of the compensation received for the flow-through shares issued during fiscal 2005 exceeded the fair value of the non-flow through shares on the date issued, the Company recorded a difference in capital stock and related income tax expenses of $11,699 on renunciation during fiscal 2005.   


During fiscal 2004, the Company issued 513,000 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $1,000,350.  As the value of the compensation received for the flow-through shares issued during fiscal 2004 exceeded the fair value of the non-flow through shares on the date issued, the Company recorded a difference in capital stock and related income tax liability of $271,890 during fiscal 2004. On renunciation in fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a difference in capital stock and related income tax expenses of $84,235.  


During fiscal 2003, the Company issued 400,000 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $100,000.  As the value of the compensation received for the flow-through shares issued during fiscal 2003 was equal to the fair value of non-flow through shares on the date issued, there is no difference for U.S. GAAP purposes.  



Short Term investments


Under Canadian GAAP, temporary investments are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or current market value.


Under United States GAAP, SFAS 115 requires that certain debt and equity investments must be classified into available-for-sale or trading securities and stated at fair market values.  Any unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized for available-for-sale securities, and included in earnings for trading securities.  For United States GAAP purposes, the Company's investment in debt securities have been classified as trading securities.  Under SFAS 115, for the 2005 fiscal year there was no difference under Canadian GAAP or United States GAAP as these debt securities have been written down to their fair market value, with an unrealized loss of $4,817 included in the consolidated statement of operations.


Loss per share

Under both Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP, basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

Under United States GAAP, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares that remain in escrow, but may be earned out based on the Company incurring a certain amount of exploration and development expenditures.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding under United States GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were 53,475,088, 26,065,368 and 8,271,374, respectively.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)



New accounting pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial position and results of operations.



In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which is a change in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.



In February, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” and in March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”, but they will not have any relationship to the operations of the Company. Therefore a description and its impact for each on the Company’s operations and financial position have not been disclosed.



In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.



In March 2005, the EITF issued EITF 04-6, "Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry".  The consensus indicated that costs of removing overburden and waste materials ("stripping costs") after production begins, represent variable production costs and should be considered a component of mineral inventory cost subject to the guidance in Chapter 4 of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, "Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins".  EITF 04-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and upon adoption, can be applied by either retroactively restating prior periods or using a cumulative catch-up adjustment.  The Company believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.


FASB has also issued SFAS No. 151 and No. 152 but they will not have any relationship to the operations of the Company therefore a description and its impact for each on the Company’s operations and financial position have not been disclosed.
