PORTAL RESOURCES LTD.

(formerly Portal de Oro Resources Ltd.)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited – prepared by management)

For the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003

(stated in Canadian dollars)


1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN


Portal Resources Ltd. (“Portal” or “the Company”, formerly Portal de Oro Resources Ltd. and Gateway Enterprises Ltd.) was incorporated on August 14, 2000 under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia.  The Company was called for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“the Exchange”) as a “Capital Pool Company” in May 2001.


On March 15, 2004 the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) under the Capital Pool Company rules of the Exchange when it acquired all of the outstanding shares of Portal de Oro (B.V.I.) Ltd. (“Portal (BVI)”), which through its wholly owned subsidiary El Portal de Oro S.A (“Portal S.A.”) has a 100% interest the Arroyo Verde project in Argentina, in consideration for the issuance of 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.10 per share.  All of the consideration shares are subject to a three-year value escrow agreement.


Pursuant to a Special Resolution passed by shareholders January 6, 2004, the Company changed its name from Gateway Enterprises Ltd. to Portal de Oro Resources Ltd. Pursuant to a Special Resolution passed by the shareholders on December 10, 2004, the Company changed its name from Portal de Oro Resources Ltd. to Portal Resources Ltd.


The Company is an exploration stage company whose business activity is the exploration of mineral rights located in Argentina.  The Company has not yet determined if any of these rights contain economic mineral reserves and, accordingly, the amounts shown for deferred exploration costs represent costs incurred to date, less write-downs, and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.  The recovery of these amounts is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration of the rights, and upon the commencement of future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.


In order to maintain future exploration expenditures and cover administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional financing.  Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in the future in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations.  Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheet.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (Canadian GAAP).  These interim consolidated financial statements do not include in all respects the annual disclosure requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.  The differences between those principles and these that would be applied under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) are disclosed in note 9.


References to the Company are inclusive of the Canadian parent company and its wholly-owned Argentinean subsidiary.

(stated in Canadian dollars)


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (Continued)


Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of current assets and current liabilities.  The fair value of these instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.  Financial risk is the risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.


Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturity dates of less than one year that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.  Interest earned is recognized immediately in operations.


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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Mineral rights

Mineral right acquisition costs and their related exploration costs are deferred until the rights are placed into production or disposed of.  These costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the rights following the commencement of production, or written-off if the rights are disposed of.


Cost includes the cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on acquisition of mineral rights.  Rights acquired under option agreements or joint ventures, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at such time as the payments are made.  The proceeds from options granted are netted against the cost of the related mineral rights and any excess is applied to operations.


The Company reviews capitalized costs on its mineral rights on a periodic basis and will recognize an impairment in value based upon current exploration results and upon management’s assessment of the future probability of profitable revenues from the rights or from the sale of the rights.  Management’s assessment of the right’s estimated current fair market value is also based upon a review of other similar mineral rights transactions that have occurred in the same geographic area as that of the rights under review.


Equipment and software

Equipment and software are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided for using the straight-line method at the following annual rates: Computer equipment – 30%; Computer software – 50%, Furniture and fixtures – 20%, Vehicles – 20%.


Share Capital

Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair market value based upon the trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.


Stock Option Plan

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company has early adopted the recommendation of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants in accounting for employee stock option plans.  Options granted to employees and non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method where compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model.

(stated in Canadian dollars)


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (Continued)


Stock-based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for stock options granted at the time of their vesting using the fair value method.  The adoption of this accounting policy for stock-based compensation has been applied prospectively to all stock options granted subsequent to January 1, 2003, prior to which the Company followed the policy of disclosing on a pro-forma basis only the effect of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors on a fair value basis.


The proceeds received by the Company on the exercise of options are credited to share capital.


Loss per share

Loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted loss per share amounts are not presented, as they are anti-dilutive.


Income Taxes

The Company accounts for the tax consequences of future tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled.  When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no asset is recognized.  The Company has taken a valuation allowance for the full amount of all potential net tax assets.


Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.

ACQUISTION OF PORTAL DE ORO (B.V.I.) LTD.


On March 15, 2004 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Portal de Oro (B.V.I.) Ltd. (“Portal BVI”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the Arroyo Verde project in Argentina, owned by El Portal de Oro S.A, a wholly owned subsidiary of Portal BVI. Under the purchase agreement, the Company acquired Portal BVI for 2,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.10 per share.  The Company incurred acquisition costs of $122,372. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method.  The allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)

Under Canadian GAAP for junior mining exploration companies, mineral exploration expenditures are deferred on prospective mineral rights until such time as it is determined that further exploration work is not warranted, at which time the mineral right costs are written-off. Under U.S. GAAP, all exploration expenditures are expensed until an independent feasibility study has determined that the mineral rights are capable of economic commercial production. The following items (a) to (g) provide a summary of the impact of these financial statements that would result form the application of U.S. accounting principles to deferred mineral rights.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP) (Continued)


OTHER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GAAP


f)

Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Under U.S. GAAP applied to the financial statements of the Company, compensation expense and related assumptions must be disclosed for all stock options granted, requiring the Company to utilize either the intrinsic value method or the fair-value based methods of accounting for stock-based compensation.  Under Canadian GAAP, no such expense or related disclosures were required to be recognized prior to 2002.


No stock options were issued or vested during 2002, therefore the Company’s accounting treatment and related disclosures for 2002 were materially congruent with the approach followed under APB 25.  In 2003 however, the Company, if required to report under U.S. GAAP, would have elected to apply the provisions of SFAS 123 and to account for all options issued to employees and consultants utilizing the fair-value based method.  This approach would have been consistent with new Canadian GAAP standards applied in 2003.  As a further similarity, both U.S. and Canadian standards for recording stock-based compensation permit the Company to adopt a fair value methodology on a prospective basis, which the Company has adopted.


g)  Loss per Share


Under Canadian GAAP, shares held in escrow and contingently issuable are included in the calculation of loss per share, however under U.S. GAAP, these shares are excluded until the shares are released for trading.


The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share calculations.  Diluted loss per share is not presented as it is anti-dilutive.
