NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)      Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates and all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in income.

b)      Loss Per Share

Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

c)      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial statements include cash, receivables, advances receivable, cheques issued in excess of cash, accounts payable and property obligations payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

d)      Deferred Costs

The company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs related to exploration projects, until such time as the project is put into commercial production, sold or abandoned. If commercial production commences, capitalized costs will be amortized on a unit-of-production basis. When mineral properties are abandoned, the related capitalized costs are expensed.

e)      Future Income Taxes

The company recognizes income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Future income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax bases using enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expressed to affect taxable income, and where there is relative certainty the losses will be realized.

f)      Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. The assets which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values included interests in mineral properties.

g)      Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes and values stock-based compensation on the Black-Scholes model of option pricing, as recommended by the CICA Handbook Section 3870.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

 

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia on February 6, 1996. By Articles of Continuances effective June 3, 1996, the Company was continued in Ontario under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario). On November 4, 1996, the Company was continued in Alberta under the name Latin American Mining Investment Corporation. On February 18, 1997, the Company was extra-provincially registered in British Columbia. Through Articles of Amendment dated effective January 5, 1999, the Company effected a consolidation of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one (1) new common share for each ten (10) common shares formerly issued and outstanding and changed its name to “Sutcliffe Resources Ltd.”

 

 

The continued operation of the Company is dependent upon continued creditor support, the acquisition and discovery of economically recoverable mineral properties and reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete property development and upon further profitable production.

10. UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 

 

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (CDN GAAP) which, in these financial statements, conform in all material respects with those in the United States (US GAAP), except as follows:

 

 

 

a)

Exploration Expenditures

 

 

 

Under CDN GAAP, exploration expenditures are capitalized until the property is sold or abandoned. If developed, the deferred expenditures are amortized over the expected benefit period. If there can be no assurance of the commencement of operations, US GAAP requires that exploration expenditures be expensed as incurred until it is determined that commercially viable operations exist and the expenditures then incurred are recoverable.

 

 

 

b)

Flow-through Shares and Future Income Tax Recovery

 

 

 

Under Canadian GAAP flow-through shares are recorded at the value of compensation received less an amount equal to future income tax liability resulting from the related renunciation of qualified exploration expenditures as a reduction in share capital. The Company also recognizes in operations the realization of future income tax benefits of previously unrecorded future income tax assets on the date of renouncement of the expenditures to the flow-through share investors. Under US GAAP flow-through shares have a carrying value equal to that of non flow-through shares and the difference between the fair value of the shares and the value of compensation received is reported as a recovery of deferred tax benefit on the statement of operations. As the value of the compensation received for flow-through shares issued during the year was equal to the fair value of non flow-through shares on the date issued, no recovery of deferred tax benefit is required for US GAAP purposes.

 

 

 

c)

Comprehensive Income

 

 

 

Under US GAAP, SFAS No. 130 requires that companies report comprehensive income as a measure of overall performance. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a year expect those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners. There is no similar concept under Canadian GAAP. The Company has determined that it had no comprehensive income other than the loss in any of the years presented.

 

 

 

d)

Interest expense on related party debt

 

 

 

Under US GAAP, in the absence of an established interest rate, the present value of the loan is determined by discounting the loan using an imputed rate of interest. The imputed interest rate used is one that approximates the rate that an independent borrower and lender would have negotiated in a similar transaction. Any difference between the face amount of the loan and its present value is accounted for as a discount or premium and amortized over the term of the loan. The Company had no interest expense on related party debt in any of the years presented.

10.

UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (continued)

 

 

 

e)

Escrow Shares

 

 

 

Under CDN GAAP shares issued with escrow restrictions are recorded at their issued price and are not revalued upon release from escrow. Under US GAAP escrow shares which are released upon the Company meeting certain criteria (performance-based) are considered to be contingently issuable. These shares are excluded from the weighted average shares calculation and the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of their release from escrow and the shares’ original issue price (being the market price at that time) is accounted for as a compensation expense and share capital at the time shares are released from escrow. The Company’s escrow shares are not performance-based and therefore no adjustments have been made to the calculation of loss per share.

 

 

 

f)

The following summarizes the balance sheet items with material variations under US GAAP:


    June 30     December 31  
    2005 $     2004 $
