To the Shareholders of

Tyler Resources Inc.




We have audited the balance sheets of Tyler Resources Inc. as at July 31, 2004 and 2003 and the statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2004.  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 generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the United States of America.  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.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2004 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.

Tyler Resources Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

July 31, 2004


1.

Nature of operations


Tyler Resources Inc. is engaged in the business of mineral exploration.  Since inception, the efforts of the Company have been devoted to the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  To date the Company has not received any revenue from mining operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage.


Mineral properties are recognized in these financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 2.  Accordingly, their carrying values represent costs incurred to date, net of recoveries, abandonments and write-downs, and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.  The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves; the acquisition and maintenance of appropriate permits, licenses and rights; the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of properties where necessary, and upon future profitable operations; or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to recover its costs through a disposition of its interests.


2.

Summary of significant accounting policies

a)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, such as resource properties (see Note 1), and liabilities and disclosure 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 differ from those estimates.


b)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes bank and brokerage deposits and term deposits and treasury bills with maturities equal to or less than 90 days.


c)

Mineral properties

Costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties are capitalized on an area of interest basis.  These expenditures will be charged against income, through unit of production depletion, when properties are developed to the stage of commercial production.  If an area of interest is abandoned or management determines that there is a permanent and significant decline in value, the related costs are charged to operations.  The Company reviews the carrying values of mineral property interests on a quarterly basis by reference to the project economics, including the timing of the exploration work, the work programs and exploration results experienced by the Company and others, and the extent to which optionees have committed, or are expected to commit to, exploration on the property.  When it becomes apparent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount based on the foregoing criteria, an impairment provision is made for the other than temporary decline in value.


Where the Company’s exploration commitments for an area of interest are performed under option agreements with a third party, the proceeds of any option payments under such agreements are applied to the area of interest to the extent of costs incurred.  The excess, if any, is credited to operations.  Option payments made by the Company are recorded as mineral property costs.  Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.


 

d)

Capital assets

Capital assets are recorded at historical cost.  The declining-balance method is used to calculate depreciation at rates of 10% to 30%.


e)

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 income tax legislation.  Future income tax liability is increased and capital stock is reduced by the estimated tax benefits transferred to shareholders.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)


f)

Joint interests

Certain of the Company's exploration activities are conducted jointly with others.  These financial statements reflect only the Company's proportionate interest in such activities. Although the Company holds certain interests in mineral properties through joint venture agreements, none of its operations are carried on through joint venture entities.


g)

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of portfolio investments carried at the lessor of cost and market value.  They are classified as a current asset as they are capable of reasonably prompt liquidation.


 

h)

Investments

Portfolio investments are carried at cost, less a provision for declines in value that are considered to be other than temporary.


i)

Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares.  For the years presented this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.  The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments.  Under the treasury stock method only “in-the-money” dilutive instruments impact the dilution calculations.   


j)

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective August 1, 2002, in accordance with the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, (CICA), the Company prospectively adopted, with no restatement or disclosure pertaining to awards granted prior to August 1, 2002, new rules for the accounting for, and disclosure of, stock-based compensation.


The recommendations of the CICA establish financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans as well as transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees.  The Company has elected to follow the “fair value” method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, whereby the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is recorded as compensation cost.  The fair value is determined using an option-pricing model that takes into account the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock, its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock, and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option.  


k)

Income taxes

Income taxes are recorded using the liability method of tax allocation.  Future income taxes are calculated based on temporary timing differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying value using tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse.  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.


l)

Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars at the balance sheet date rate of exchange and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at appropriate transaction date rates.  Gains and losses in translation are included in income.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)


m)

Financial instruments

The fair market value of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments and/or the variable interest rate associated with the instrument.  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.

n)

Reclamation costs

The Company’s activities have primarily been focused on exploration directed toward the discovery of mineral resources.  When it is determined that a future reclamation cost is likely, and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the costs thereof will be accrued.

Mineral properties (continued)


Mexico

The Company’s principal exploration property in Mexico is Bahuerachi.    During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Company acquired a 40% interest in the Bahuerachi mineral property from CDG Investments Inc. (CDG), a Company related by virtue of certain common officers and directors.  The Company issued 13,336,000 shares at $0.06 per share in payment of the $800,000 purchase price.  The price was negotiated and agreed to by independent committees of the board of directors of both companies and came within the range of values assigned to the property by an independent geological consulting firm.  As the transaction took place between related parties, the transaction was valued at the amount of CDG’s cost basis in the property on the transaction date which also  approximated the fair value of the property.


Subsequent to the acquisition the Company incurred sufficient exploration expenditures, subject to verification by the vendor, to earn a 95% interest in the property.  The Vendor’s 5% interest is convertible into a 10% net profits interest.  The 5% interest or 10% net profits interest, as the case may be, may be purchased by the Company for $700,000 U.S.


Pursuant to the option agreement the Company is required to pay $50,000 U.S. annually to the optionee until the property commences production.

 

Northwest Territories


Carat and Kelsey

The Carat property, in which the Company has a 30% interest, was subject to an option agreement with Diamondex Resources Ltd. (Diamondex).  Pursuant to the option agreement, Diamondex earned a 70% interest in the property by incurring $2,000,000 of exploration expenditures and issuing 200,000 common shares to the Company.  


During the year ended July 31, 2004, pursuant to an Arbitration decision, the Company received $261,572 plus interest of $11,654, as reimbursement of joint venture over-expenditures associated with the Carat Joint Venture.  The Company also received $284,675 as reimbursement for legal and other costs incurred regarding the arbitration.  The awards were credited to the Carat property where the original property and arbitration costs had been capitalized.  The interest has been included in “interest and other” in the statement of operations.


The Company has a 33% interest in the Kelsey property with Diamondex holding the remaining 67%.  Diamondex earned its interest in the property by incurring in excess of $825,000 in exploration costs, issuing 200,000 of its common shares to the company, and making cash payments aggregating $40,000.  


The Company has granted Majescor Resources Inc., (Majescor), an option to acquire its approximate 30% and 33% interests, subject to a net profits interest retained by the Company of approximately 8%, in the Carat and Kelsey diamond exploration joint ventures respectively.  In order to purchase the interests Majescor will be required to pay the Company $300,000 in cash and issue 300,000 common shares and 200,000 warrants to the Company over the course of two years.  The warrants will be exercisable at prices ranging from $0.40 per share to $0.55 per share and will expire within two to three years of the warrant issue dates.  To July 31, 2004, the Company has received 100,000 Majescor shares, 50,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share to March 4, 2007 and $50,000 in cash.

Mineral properties (continued)


Saskatchewan

The Company has a 50.1% interest in the Weedy Lake property.  During fiscal 2002 the Company entered into an option agreement with Golden Band Resources Inc. (Golden Band), whereby Golden Band can earn 50% of the company’s interest, (a 25.5% interest in the property).  In order to earn the interest Golden Band must incur cumulative exploration expenditures of:  $100,000 by December 31, 2002; $200,000 by December 31, 2003; $300,000 by December 31, 2004 and $1,500,000 by December 31, 2005.  Upon completion of the option terms, the Company may convert its remaining 25.05% interest into a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty or continue to participate in the joint venture.  Golden Band has been notified by the Company that it is in default of its earn-in commitments.  The Company believes it can negotiate a sale to Golden Band or arrange different farm-out terms.

With the exception of write-offs and abandonments of Mexican properties in 2004 of $Nil (2003 - $7,824, 2002 - Nil), all gross revenues and the net losses are attributed to Canadian operations.  With the exception of mineral properties noted above, net identifiable assets at the respective year-ends were associated with Canadian operations.


11.

Stock-based compensation


The Company follows the “fair value” method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, whereby the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is recorded as compensation cost and a credit to contributed surplus.  The fair value is determined using an option–pricing model that takes into account the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock, its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock, and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option.


Stock options granted during the year ended July 31, 2004 were valued at $596,000 in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions:

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Canada and United States


The Company follows Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which are different in some respects from those applicable in the United States and from practices prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions, as described below:


a)

Mineral Properties

Under Canadian GAAP the costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties are capitalized on an area of interest basis and charged against income through unit-of-production depletion, when properties are developed to the stage of commercial production.  Costs related to abandoned properties, and costs related to properties which the Company has assessed, based on the price of metals/minerals and general economic and market conditions, as not viable, are charged to other expenses in the year in which such determination is made.


Under US GAAP the costs relating to the exploration of mineral properties as defined above, which have not led to the identification of a commercially feasible property, are expensed in the year incurred and are charged to income (loss) from operations.  As a result, all costs associated with the exploration properties described in Note 6 have been written off for US GAAP purposes.  


b)

Marketable Securities and Long-term Investments

Portfolio investments in shares of public companies have been recorded at the lesser of cost and fair market value.  Long-term portfolio investments in shares of public companies have been recorded at cost less impairment in value considered to be other than temporary. Under US GAAP, the Company is required to record these available-for-sale investments at fair value and record the unrealized gains or losses as a component of other comprehensive income under Shareholder’s Equity.


c)

Stock Option Benefit

Prior to August 1, 2002 the Company did not recognize compensation expense when stock options were granted.  Under US GAAP the Company would have been required to comply with SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” for stock options granted in its fiscal 2001 and 2002 years.  The following reconciliations account for all options granted in those years by recording their fair value on the grant date as compensation expense using the same methodology described in note 2 (j).

New Accounting Prouncements


ACCOUNTING FOR VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES


In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“Fin 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity, if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.  FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003.  For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.  However, in December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46, and to exempt certain entities from its requirements.  Under the new guidance, there are new effective dates for companies that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities.  The rules are effective in financial statements for periods ending afte March 15, 2004.  The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.


ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” which changes the accounting for mandatorily redeemable shares, put options, forward purchase contracts and obligations that can be settled with shares effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.  As the Company does not have any of these types of instruments outstanding, the adoption of this statement did not have any impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
