PORTAL RESOURCES LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended December 31, 2008 (Unaudited – prepared by management)

(stated in Canadian dollars)




1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Portal Resources Ltd. was incorporated on August 14, 2000 under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia.  


The Company is an exploration stage company whose business activity is the exploration of mineral rights located in Argentina and the United States.  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.



2.

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 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies describe in the Company’s annual 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 the ones that would be applied under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) are disclosed in Note 8.


References to the Company are inclusive of the Canadian parent company and its wholly-owned Argentinean subsidiary Portal del Oro, S.A. and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary , Portal Resources US Inc..  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.


The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008 and have been consistently followed in preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements, except with respect to the following new and revised accounting standards which the Company is required to adopt under Canadian GAAP for interim and annual financial statements relating to its fiscal year commencing July 1, 2008.


New accounting policies

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Section 3251 Equity, Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement; and Section 3865, Hedges, retroactively without restatement.  These new CICA Handbook Sections, which apply to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006, provide requirements for the recognition of financial instruments and on the use of hedge accounting.  


(a)

Section 1530 – Comprehensive Income:  Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, with is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources.  Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated.  The adoption of this Handbook Sections has no impact on opening deficit.


Section 3855 – Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement: Section 3855 prescribes when a financial asset, financial liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (Continued)


balance sheet, and whether fair value or cost-based measures are used to measure the recorded amounts.


Financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.  Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value depend on their initial classification, as follows: held-for-trading financial instruments are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income; available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net income.


The Company has designated it cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value and accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost.  Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to/from related parties are classified as other financial liabilities.  The Company had neither available-for-sale or held-to-maturity instruments during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  


(b)

Section 3865 – Hedges: Section 3865 is applicable when an entity chooses to designate a hedging relationship for accounting purposes.  It specifies how hedge accounting is applied and what disclosures are necessary when it is applied.  The adoption of this standard has no present impact as the Company is not currently engaged in any hedging activity.

UNPROVEN MINERAL RIGHTS


The Company’s mineral properties are all located in Argentina and the United States.


Arroyo Verde

On November 27, 2003, Portal S.A. signed an option to acquire a 100% interest in a series of mining rights in Chubut province of Argentina.  Under the terms of the agreement the Company had to make cash payments totaling US$210,000 (paid) on or before December 1, 2007.

 

On or before December 1, 2008 or upon receipt of the feasibility study, the Company must pay an advance royalty payment of US$1 for each ounce of gold equivalent contained within the measured and indicated resource categories with a minimum payment of US$100,000 and a maximum payment of US$250,000.  This advance royalty can be applied against subsequent royalty obligations.  The vendor retains a 2% net smelter royalty that the Company can purchase 1% of, at any time, for US$1,000,000.


As of November 12, 2008 an amendment to the agreement was signed where the owner agreed to defer the payment due on December 1, 2008 until December 1, 2009 in exchange for a payment of US$10,000 on December 1, 2008.


San Rafael

The properties in the San Rafael project have been acquired through two separate option agreements.


San Pedro

On June 18, 2004, Portal S.A. signed an option to acquire a 100% interest in a series of mining rights in Mendoza province of Argentina.  Under the terms of the agreement the Company must make cash payments totaling US$ 830,000 (US$120,000 paid) on or before June 18, 2012.


On March 27, 2008 Portal notified the owners of the San Pedro claims of the decision to return the claims and has not further commitments with respect to this agreement.


Minera Rio de la Plata

The Company is obligated to make the initial three annual payments of $15,000 (paid).  Should the Company wish to develop any of the four areas defined in the agreement, during the term of the option, it must pay the sum of US$50,000 for each area so designated.  The Company would then form a new 100% owned subsidiary to which the mining rights in that designated area would be transferred.  The new subsidiary would be subject to a 15% to 20% net profit interest to the owner.


The Company has the right to purchase 10% of the net profits interest at any time for the sum of US$1,000,000.


On March 3, 2008 the Minera Rio de la Plata (MRDP) agreement was modified so the US$70,000 payment due April 9, 2008 was deferred to June 10, 2008.

UNPROVEN MINERAL RIGHTS (Continued)


Subsequently, management returned all the of the claims held under the MRDP agreement, with the exception of nine claims, which will continue to form the Tiger uranium project. On April 22, 2008 an amendment to the MRDP agreement was executed by Portal and MRDP to this effect.


On April 30, 2008, MRDP and Portal signed an agreement whereby the due date for the US$70,000 payment as amended to June 10, 2008 was extended until July 10, 2008.


On June 10, 2008, Portal informed MRDP of the Company’s decision to declare the nine claims comprising the Tiger Uranium Project as a “Development Area” under clause 6.4 of the MRDP agreement and to pay MRDP the sum of US$50,000.


On June 17, 2008, Portal received from MRDP notification of its rejection of Portals declaration of a “Development Area”.


On July 18, 2008, Portal received notification from MRDP of their declaration that the MRDP contract is null and void for failure to make the US$70,000 payment due July 10, 2008.


Portal has retained legal counsel in the matter and is of the opinion that the declaration of a Development Area on June 10, 2008 was valid and thus the MRDP contract is valid and in good standing. Portal is pursuing both legal avenues as well as negotiating with MRDP to resolve the dispute.

La Pampa Uranium

On April 20, 2007 Portal signed a letter agreement with Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. whereby Portal has an option to earn a 60% interest in a series of mining rights in Chubut province of Argentina.  Under the original terms of the agreement the Company’s payment requirements are as follows:

On signing of the agreement

$  15,000 (paid)

On or before April 20, 2008

$  30,000 (see below)

On or before April 20, 2009

$  50,000

On or before April 20, 2010

$  50,000


In order to maintain the option in good standing, Portal must expend an aggregate of US$1,200,000 by April 20, 2011.  The required cumulative required expenditures are as follows:


On or before April 20, 2008

$    150,000

On or before April 20, 2009

$    400,000

On or before April 20, 2010

$    800,000

On or before April 20, 2011

$ 1,200,000


On March 11, 2008, the agreement of April 20, 2007 was modified so that the time periods for the above referenced payment and expenditure commitments will begin on the date that the Argentina Department of Mines gives formal notice that the concessions for the properties have been granted to Consolidated Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd.


Slick Rock Uranium


The property was returned to the Vendor with no further commitments necessary on behalf of Portal in June 20, 2008

Nevada Properties


On September 2, 2008, Portal announced that it had entered into an option agreement under which it has the right to acquire, from Claremont Nevada Mines, Scoonover Exploration and JR Exploration, three properties located in the Walker Lane Belt and Battle Mountain/Eureka Trend in Nevada, USA. Terms of the renewable ten year option include total cash advance royalty payments of US$10,000 on the first anniversary, $15,000 on the second, $20,000 on the third, $25,000 on the fourth and $30,000 on the fifth and each subsequent anniversary date to maintain the option in good standing. Portal, through its subsidiary, Portal Resources US Inc., can acquire a 100% interest in the properties by making an additional payment of $1,000 and delivering a final feasibility study on any of the properties.


The vendors will retain a 3% net smelter returns royalty. Portal has the right to reduce the net smelter returns royalty to 1% for a payment of US$1,000,000.


Golden Snow Property


The Golden Snow property is an advanced Carlin-type gold target comprised of 114 unpatented lode mining claims or 3.5 square miles on the Battle Mountain/Eureka Trend.


Fish Project


The Fish Project is situated within the Walker Lane Mineral Belt, Lone Mountain District, Esmeralda County, Nevada about 12 miles west of the historic mining town of Tonopah, Nevada. The project consists of 58 unpatented lode mining claims or 1.9 square miles.

The exercise price for options granted under the Stock Option Plan is determined by the Board upon grant provided the price is not less than the closing trading price on the day immediately preceding the date of grant, less any discounts permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange or such other stock exchanges on which the common shares are listed.  Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are subject to a minimum one year vesting schedule whereby 25% of each option will vest on each of the three month anniversaries of the date of grant, up to and including the end of the first year after such grant, or such other more restrictive vesting schedule as the administrator of the Stock Option Plan may determine.  Options are non-assignable and are exercisable for a period of up to five years from the date the option is granted, subject to earlier termination after certain events such as the optionee’s cessation of service to the Company or death.


The Company accounts for its grants in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $10,211 (2007 - $124,419) in stock-based compensation for employees, directors and consultants.

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 from the application of U.S. accounting principles to preferred mineral rights.
