Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Grandview Gold Inc.

1.  Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Grandview Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "Grandview") is a gold exploration company focused on exploring and developing gold properties in gold camps of North America.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company was previously in the business of investing significant equity interests in high-technology companies. As at March 26, 2004, the Company changed its direction to a gold exploration company. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues from gold exploration and is considered to be in the exploration stage. As such, the Company will be applying Accounting Guideline 11 "Enterprises in the Development Stage" as required by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants' ("CICA") Handbook effective March 26, 2004 onward.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), as applicable to a going concern entity which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to complete the development of a mineral property. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the following paragraph. Accordingly, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The Company's financing efforts to date, while substantial, are not sufficient in and of themselves to enable the Company to fund all aspects of its operations. Management expects that the Company, based upon the underlying value of its exploration projects, will be able to secure the necessary financing to meet the Company’s requirements on an ongoing basis. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

2.  Accounting Policies

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements is based on accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements except as noted below. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010, since they do not contain all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the respective unaudited interim periods presented.

2. Accounting Policies (Continued)

Future Accounting Pronouncements

International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRS”]

In January 2006, the CICA’s Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") formally adopted the strategy of replacing Canadian GAAP with IFRS for Canadian enterprises with public accountability. The current conversion timetable calls for financial reporting under IFRS for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011. On February 13, 2008 the AcSB confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. For these entities, IFRS will be required for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-Controlling Interests

The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: Section 1582, "Business Combinations", Section 1601, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and Section 1602, "Non-Controlling interests". These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Section 1582 replaces section 1581 and establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. Sections 1601 and 1602 together replace section 1600, "Consolidated Financial Statements". Section 1601, establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of IFRS lAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of the new standards.

3. Capital Management

The Company considers its capital structure to consist of share capital, warrants, contributed surplus and accumulated deficit. When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to achieve optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management team to sustain the future development of the business.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration program and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts when economic conditions permit it to do so.

- 10 -



3. Capital Management (continued)

 Management has chosen to mitigate the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital within current economic conditions by:

                               i) minimizing discretionary disbursements;

                               ii) reducing or eliminating exploration expenditures which are of limited strategic value; and

                               iii) exploring alternate sources of liquidity.

In light of the above, the Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it believes there is sufficient potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the three months period ended August 31, 2010. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

4. Risk Factors

The Company’s significant mineral properties are Red Lake Gold Camp, Ontario, Canada and Guilianta Property, Peru (called the "Properties"). A full description of these properties may be found in Note 7 of the May 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements.

Unless the Company acquires or develops additional significant properties, the Company will be solely dependent upon these Properties. If no additional mineral properties are acquired by the Company, any adverse development affecting the Properties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's risk exposures and their impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Fair Value

The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments where measurement is required. The fair value of short-term financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity. These include cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Fair value amounts represent point-in-time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of significant judgment. The methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements, for those financial instruments where fair value is recognized in the balance sheet, have been prioritized into three levels as per the fair value hierarchy included in GAAP. Level one includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in level one. Level three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data.

    Level One     Level Two     Level Three  
Cash and cash equivalents $  1,226,090   $  -   $  -  
Short-term investments $  25,099   $  -   $  -  
Reclamation bond $  14,001   $  -   $  -

4.  Risk Factors (continued)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, GST and sundry receivable and due from a related party. Cash and cash equivalents are held with a reputable Canadian chartered bank, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

Financial instruments included in GST and sundry receivable and due from a related party consist of sales tax receivable from government authorities in Canada, deposits held with service providers and a loan provided to the President and CEO of the Company. GST and sundry receivable and due from a related party are in good standing as of August 31, 2010. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in GST and sundry receivable and due from a related party is minimal.

Liquidity Risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at August 31, 2010, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents and short term investments balance of $1,251,189 (May 31, 2010 - $1,457,861) to settle current liabilities of $78,612 (May 31, 2010 - $89,284). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices.

(a)

Interest Rate Risk

  

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by the Company's Canadian chartered bank. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its bank.

  
(b)

Foreign Currency Risk

  

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

  
(c)

Price Risk

  

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, as they relate to gold to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

4. Risk Factors (continued)

Sensitivity Analysis

The Company has, for accounting purposes, designated its cash and cash equivalents as held for trading, which is measured at fair value. GST and sundry receivable and due from a related party are classified for accounting purposes as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost which equals fair value. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified for accounting purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost which also equals fair value.

As of August 31, 2010, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments are approximately equivalent.

The sensitivity analysis shown in the notes below may differ materially from actual results.

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are "reasonably possible" over a three month period:

(i)

Short term investments are subject to floating interest rates. As at August 31, 2010, if interest rates had decreased/increased by 1% with all other variables held constant, the loss for the three months ended August 31, 2010 would have been approximately $63 higher/lower, as a result of lower/higher interest income from short term investments. As at August 31, 2010, reported shareholders' equity would have been approximately $63 lower/higher as a result of lower/higher interest income from short term investments.

     
(ii)

The Company does not hold significant balances in foreign currencies to give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk.

     
(iii)

Commodity price risk could adversely affect the Company. In particular, the Company’s future profitability and viability of development depends upon the world market price of gold. Gold has fluctuated widely in recent years. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of gold may be produced in the future, a profitable market will exist for gold. A decline in the market price of gold may also require the Company to reduce its mining interests, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s value. As of August 31, 2010, the Company was not a gold producer. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations.


5.

Reclamation Bond

   

The Company has posted reclamation bonds for its mining projects, as required by the United States, Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, to secure clean-up costs, if any, on projects that are abandoned or closed.

   
6.

Mining Interests

   

On a quarterly basis, management of the Company reviews exploration expenditures to ensure mining interests include only costs and projects that are eligible for capitalization.

   

For a description of mining interests, refer to Note 7 of the audited financial statements as at May 31, 2010.

10. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted loss per share is calculated in a manner similar to basic loss per share, except the weighted-average shares outstanding are increased to include potential common shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares included in the calculation is based on the treasury stock method for options and warrants.

       
    Three Months Ended  
    August 31,  
    2010     2009  
Numerator for basic loss per share $  (84,258 ) $  (463,040 )
Numerator for diluted loss per share $  (84,258 ) $  (463,040 )
Denominator:            
Weighted average number of common shares - basic   72,763,033     44,652,098  
Weighted average number of common shares - diluted   72,763,033     44,652,098  
Basic and diluted loss per share $  (0.00 ) $  (0.01 )

Diluted loss per share reflects the maximum possible dilution from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible securities. However, the effect of outstanding warrants and stock options has not been included as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

13. Differences Between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP

The Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. These principles, as they pertain to the Company's consolidated financial statements differ from US GAAP as follows:

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounted for its stock compensation plan as described in Note 2(j) in the fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements under which CICA Handbook Section 3870 requires that compensation for option awards to employees and consultants be recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value for options granted in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2004. The Company, as permitted by CICA Handbook Section 3870, has adopted this section prospectively for new option awards granted on or after June 1, 2003. Accordingly, a fair value compensation expense is reported for any options that were granted and vested during an interim or fiscal period. Prior to this accounting policy, no compensation expense was required to be recorded for stock option grants under Canadian GAAP for fiscal 2004. For US GAAP purposes, the Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 148 effective as of June 1, 2003, which provisions allow the Company to record compensation expense for stock options granted in fiscal 2004 and all future periods based on the estimated fair value of such option, using the prospective method. In December 2004, FASB issued Statement 123 (Revised 2004), "Share- Based Payment," which mandates the recording of compensation expense based on the fair value of such options.

For the three months ended August 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company's accounting for stock option grants under US GAAP is substantially equivalent to the accounting under Canadian GAAP. As such, the expense recorded for US GAAP purposes would be equal to the expense recorded for Canadian GAAP purposes for the three months ended August 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. Had the Company adopted (FASB) Statement 148 for fiscal 2004, there would be no affect on earnings since no stock options were issued in that year.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for its exploration costs as described in Note 2(e) of the annual consolidated financial statements for May 31, 2010, while under US GAAP, exploration costs cannot be capitalized and are expensed as incurred. Mineral property rights relating to the properties are capitalized and they are tested for impairment.

Prior to June 1, 2007, under Canadian GAAP marketable securities and long-term investments are carried at the lower of cost or market, and adjustments to the carrying value are shown as an expense on the statement of operations. Under US GAAP marketable equity securities are carried at market value, and changes to the market value are shown as a component of shareholder's equity (if the securities are classified as available-for-sale securities) or as gain or loss in the statement of operations (if the securities are classified as trading securities). Effective June 1, 2007, the Company's accounting for financial instruments, equity and comprehensive income under US GAAP is substantially equivalent to the accounting under Canadian GAAP.

Canadian GAAP provides that a tax benefit be recorded in the statement of operations to reflect the recovery of future income taxes relating to the renunciation of resource property expenditures to the Company's flow-through share investors (see Note 12 of the annual consolidated financial statements for May 31, 2010). US GAAP has no such provision; consequently, the US GAAP statement of operations contains no such tax benefit.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company does not impute interest on loans to related parties, while under US GAAP, imputed interest is required to be recorded for the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements.

13. Differences Between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP (Continued)

Under US GAAP, exploration stage companies are required to provide cumulative-from-inception information relating to income statements, statements of cash flows, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity. Inception has been deemed to be March 26, 2004, the date on which the Company, at a shareholders' meeting, made the decision to return to the business of exploration as its primary business focus. The Company's statements of operations and comprehensive loss under US GAAP are as follows:
