LKA International, Inc., (referred to herein as LKA, the Company, we, us, our or words of similar import) was incorporated on March 16, 1988, in the State of Delaware.  Since our inception, our authorized capital has been 100,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of one mill ($0.001) per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, also with a par value of one mill per share.  LKA owns certain real and personal property interests including patented and unpatented mining claims, water rights, buildings, fixtures, improvements, equipment, and permits situated in Lake City, Colorado, which are described below. LKA's activities associated with these properties have been sporadic since they were acquired in December, 1982.  On November 5, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement by which we agreed to grant to Richmont Mines, Inc., an option to acquire a 50% undivided interest in our Gold Wonder mine located in Hinsdale County, Colorado, in exchange for Richmont's payment of (i) $150,000 within 10 days of the date of the Letter Agreement; and (ii) an additional $150,000 within 60 days of the date of the Letter Agreement.  On December 21, 2007, Richmont notified the Company that it has completed its initial evaluation of the Golden Wonder mine and intends to proceed with the Initial Commitment Period as defined in the letter agreement.  For more information on the letter agreement see our 8-K Current Report dated November 5, 2007.  The Lake City, Colorado Properties. The Ute-Ule silver mine and milling facility and the Golden Wonder gold mine (respectively, the "Ute-Ule Property" and the "Golden Wonder Property" or, collectively, the "Properties"), consist of certain patented and unpatented mining claims located in Hinsdale County, Colorado. In December, 1982, our predecessor, LKA Holdings, Inc., a Utah corporation ("LKA Utah") acquired a 51% interest in the Properties from Lake City Mines, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Lake City Mines"), which retained the remaining 49% interest. Immediately after the acquisition, LKA Utah assigned 90% of its interest in the future proceeds that it had the right to receive from the Properties to Caldera Partners Limited Partnership, a Washington limited partnership ("Caldera") in return for approximately $1.6 million, which LKA used to develop the Properties. As a result, Caldera owned a 45.9% interest in the future proceeds that LKA Utah had the right to receive on the Properties. LKA's President, Kye A. Abraham, is Caldera's Managing Partner. Subsequent to a bankruptcy filing by Lake City Mines in February 1984, LKA acquired Lake City Mines interest in the Properties through a Sheriffs sale. On March 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Caldera's 45.9% interest in the Golden Wonder and Ute Ule mines. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to issue Caldera 6,434,042 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of common stock in exchange for Caldera's interest in the mines and the full satisfaction of all receivables due to Caldera from the Company. Caldera was also relieved of any future obligations to contribute further exploration and development funds. For more information on this transaction, see the Company's Current  3   Report on Form 8-K, dated March 3, 2005, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2005. See the Exhibit Index, Part III, Item 13 of this Report.  Business LKA has begun the permitting process with respect to an additional exploration program at the Golden Wonder mine. Other than our plans to assist Richmont in the exploration and development of new ore zones within the Golden Wonder mine during the Initial Commitment Period of our letter agreement with Richmont, and the resolution of our environmental cleanup proceeding with the Bureau of Land Management as discussed in Part I, Item 3 of this Report, we do not currently expect to have any material operations during the next 12 months.  Our ability to proceed with exploration and development of the Golden Wonder mine under the letter agreement is subject to Richmonts satisfactory completion of its initial exploration work and evaluation of the Golden Wonder mine  Principal Products or Services and their Markets  We do not currently have any products or services.  Distribution Methods of the Products or Services  None; not applicable.  Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service  None; not applicable.  Competitive Business Conditions and the Small Business Issuers Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition  Management believes that there are literally thousands of non-operating mining companies such as LKA. We believe that our competitive position in the industry will be very insignificant.  Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers  We do not use any raw materials, as we do not directly conduct any material operations.  Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers  From 1998 through the second quarter of 2006, our revenues consisted solely of royalties from the mining activities of Au Mining, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Au Mining"). In the third quarter of 2006, Au Mining ceased these activities and we do not currently have any source of revenue.  Our ability to obtain revenue in the foreseeable future will be dependent on Richmonts exploration efforts and its decision whether to proceed with additional funding under our letter agreement.  Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration  We have obtained "110d" limited impact permits from the Colorado Division of  Reclamation Mining and Safety and have posted reclamation bonds to ensure the clean-up of environmental disturbances on the Ute-Ule and Golden Wonder Properties. We are currently in compliance with all applicable permit and bonding requirements in this regard. Permits associated with an exploratory drift/tunnel at the Golden Wonder have been applied for.  Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services  None; not applicable.  4    Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business  We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.  Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.  We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K or 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or 10-QSB with the Securities Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K12G3.  Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years  We have not spent any money on research and development in the past five years and we do not plan to make any such expenditures in the foreseeable future.  Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws  As the owner of permits pertaining to the Properties, we are subject to many federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality. For example, any mining operations conducted on the Properties must comply with federal and state laws and regulations that protect the quality of surface water and groundwater.  The Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (the "Division") requires mine operators to have permits to conduct mining activities in Colorado. The Division also requires operators to obtain a reclamation bond to ensure the clean-up of disturbances on mining properties and conducts regular inspections to make sure that the operators are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. We have obtained, and/or are in the process of obtaining, all necessary bonds and permits required by the State of Colorado and believe that we are in compliance with all laws and regulations in this regard. However, we can provide no assurance as to the impact on LKA of any future environmental laws or regulations or any governmental interpretation of existing or future laws or regulations.  The Federal Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") has advised us of its desire to extend to the Ute-Ule Property certain environmental clean-up activities that it is conducting on neighboring properties that we do not own. The BLM has commissioned and obtained an engineering evaluation and cost analysis ("EE/CA") report on the Ute-Ule and the neighboring public lands. This EE/CA, which was prepared by Harding ESE, Inc., analyzes the current environmental state of the Ute-Ule Property and other properties in the area. The EE/CA has identified a large volume of mine tailings and metals loading of shallow ground water, with elevated levels of arsenic, cadmium and lead being present. The total clean-up costs on all of these properties are estimated at approximately $7 million, with the projected clean-up cost of the Ute-Ule alone estimated at approximately $4,317,000. A later report commissioned by the BLM entitled Value Engineering Study on the Ute Ulay Mine/Mill Site  Final Report dated January 5, 2006 projected these costs to be approximately $2.1 million. Management believes that due to LKAs  5   status as a de minimus participant, the Companys actual costs associated with this effort will be substantially below BLM estimates. Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the BLM and EPA may either require a property owner to perform the necessary cleanup or the agencies may perform the work and seek recovery of costs against the owner.  As of the date of this Report, management has had several meetings with the BLM and the Solicitor General's office in an effort to negotiate a settlement of this matter.  The Company and the BLM remain in the process of discussing and deliberating the purported environmental impacts as discussed in the engineering evaluation and cost analysis report commissioned by the BLM.  No determination of an overall site clean-up plan has yet been made by the BLM.  The BLM has taken the position that LKA will be liable for the cleanup on the Ute-Ule property, with the timing of the cleanup, the ultimate cost, and LKA's share of the total cost, still to be determined.  The BLM has indicated its willingness to negotiate a settlement of the matter and LKA intends to vigorously defend itself.  We are currently actively engaged in settlement discussions and we can not accurately predict what our ultimate liability, if any, will be. If we are unsuccessful in reaching a cost effective arrangement with the BLM and are held responsible for the entire amounts associated with the cleanup the financial consequences could render the Company insolvent.  Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees  Kye A. Abraham is LKA's only full-time employee. Nanette K. Abraham assists with bookkeeping and administrative work, but receives no financial remuneration.  Reports to Security Holders  You may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commissionss Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission at their Internet site www.sec.gov.    Item 2. Description of Property  We own a 100% interest in the Ute-Ule and Golden Wonder Properties. Prior to March 3, 2005, we paid to Caldera 45.9% of the proceeds that we received from the Properties through our Lease Agreement with Au Mining. However, on that date, the Company completed the acquisition of Caldera's 45.9% interest in the Golden Wonder and Ute Ule mines. As a result of this assignment, the Company is entitled to receive all of the lease and royalty payments on these Properties. We are not currently engaged in any mining operations on the Properties or anywhere else.  On November 5, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Richmont Mines, Inc., under which we agreed to grant to Richmont an option to acquire a 50% undivided interest in the Golden Wonder Mine, located in Hinsdale County, Colorado.  Richmonts exercise of this option is subject to numerous contingencies, including Richmonts expenditure of up to $18 million in exploration, development, and related costs.  We can provide no assurance that Richmont will determine to proceed with these expenditures or the exercise of its option.  For a discussion of the Richmont letter agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated November 5, 2007, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007.  Both the Ute-Ule silver mine and the Golden Wonder gold mine are vein type deposits associated with volcanic activity occurring millions of years ago during a turbulent period known in geology as Tertiary time. During this violent geologic era, most of the known precious metal mines in the State of Colorado were formed along a southwest to northeast channel or narrow band approximately 20 miles wide, which stretches in a diagonal trend from Durango in the southwest to Boulder County in the northeast. This zone has been called the Colorado Mineral Belt. Lake City, Colorado lies astride this mineral belt in a topographical cul de sac 57 miles southwest of Gunnison, Colorado. On the other side of the mountain range that encloses the cul de sac are the historic precious metal mining districts of Ouray, Telluride, Silverton and Creede, which were productive in the late 19th century.  LKAs early exploration and development efforts in the mid-1980s and its now-terminated Lease Purchase Agreement with Au  6   Mining recovered approximately 136,622 ounces of gold from the Golden Wonder, valued at approximately $46.1 million based on an average gold price of $337.52 per ounce at the time of sale.  Each Property is described below.  Ute-Ule Group.  The Ute-Ule Property consist of 23 patented mining claims located approximately four miles west of Lake City, Colorado. These are highly mineralized silver-lead-zinc mines with excellent access via a gravel road that is maintained year-round by the County of Hinsdale. This road goes from the Property to Lake City and from Lake City a blacktop road (State Highway 149) extends northward approximately 46 miles to an intersection with U.S. 50, about nine miles west of Gunnison, Colorado.  This Property has a long history of mineral extraction dating back to the nineteenth century. Most of this extraction occurred between 1874 and 1903.  We can not assure you that the mineralized material found on the Property can be mined and milled on a commercial basis.  The Ute-Ule Property is the subject of an EE/CA which identifies certain environmental hazards on the property.  We are in the process of negotiating a settlement of this matter with the Bureau of Land Management and the Solicitor General.  See the heading Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws of Part I, Item 1 of this Report; and the caption Legal Proceedings, Part I, Item 3 of this Report.  The Ute Mill.  A 100 ton-per-day flotation mill, including various equipment and support facilities, exists on the Ute-Ule Property. The mill is located at the level of the main haulage tunnel of the Ute mine. It is in satisfactory condition and was used effectively by LKA Utah to mill ore from the Golden Wonder mine during a 1984 pilot production program. The mill is also ideally suited for the processing of ore from the Ute-Ule mines.  To the knowledge of management, this mill is the only mill located in the Lake City District. Since the Lake City District has no smelting facilities, ore and ore concentrates, if any, from the Properties, or other mines in the district would have to be sent to smelters in other distant locations.  Since the mill is the only one in the Lake City District and construction of another mill of this size would be possible only at substantial cost and subject to considerable environmental constraints, management believes that LKA could derive income from custom milling or the sale of the mill if mining is successfully revived in the District.  Water for milling and the power needs of the mill has historically been available through water rights pertaining to the Property. Although we believe the Property is currently in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, any future operations at the mill may require additional settling ponds and additional treatment of waste water may be required to preserve water quality. We do not believe that these requirements would impose an undue burden on us.  LKA re-acquired the Ute-Ule Property pursuant to a lease agreement with Au Mining in 2003.  Substantial additional funding will be required to make the mill operational. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any such fundraising efforts.  Golden Wonder.  The Golden Wonder Property consists of three patented and 25 unpatented mining claims located approximately 2-1/2 miles south of Lake City, Colorado. It has been worked intermittently since its discovery in 1880. The Property can be reached by following Colorado State Highway 149 south of Lake City to the Vickers Ranch, and then following an easement over unimproved road through the ranch to the mine. The mine is at an elevation of 10,323  7   feet and is situated on a hill slope approximately 1,500 feet above the valley floor. It lies at the head of "Dead Man's Gulch."  The initial discovery was made after finding high grade float in the surface containing free gold. A limited body of ore was mined prior to 1889. The Property was generally unworked through 1930. From 1930 to 1969, sporadic mining and development efforts were conducted, some of which resulted in the extraction of ore.  During the summer of 1969, Southern Union Production Company ("Supron") began an exploration program at the Golden Wonder. Out of this, the SUPCO winze (a steeply inclined passageway connecting the mine workings) was started in the winter of 1970-1971 and completed to a depth of approximately 150 feet below the third level of the mine, with lateral drifting along the course of mineralization off the winze on the fourth level. Work was halted on the property in 1972, when Supron decided to discontinue all its metallic mineral operations in the western United States and South America. In 1973, Rocky Mountain Ventures secured a lease on the Property and shipped a small tonnage of dump material to a mill then operating at Crested Butte, Colorado for processing.  The Golden Wonder has been explored and developed by drifts on six different levels, with raises and winzes connecting the lower levels. In 1984, LKA Utah conducted a five-month pilot production program that resulted in the sale of approximately $590,000 of gold concentrates to ASARCO. The average grade of the ore produced during the pilot program was 0.96 ounces of gold per ton and the average gold price at that time was $325 per ounce. The majority of this production was derived from two slopes on the mine's fourth level, which consistently averaged one ounce of gold per ton. Commercial quantities of gold were also taken from the mine's fifth level. From 1997 until the second quarter of 2006, when Au Mining discontinued production at the Golden Wonder, that entity had conducted mining operations and produced approximately 8,349 tons of ore containing 133,701 ounces of gold  from the mine's fifth and sixth levels. The value of this production at the time of sale/settlement exceeded $46 million. The average grade of the ore produced during this period was 16.01 ounces of gold per ton.  The average price was $337.76 per ounce.    Office Space.  We currently lease approximately 750 square feet of office space located at 3724 47th Street Ct. N.W., Gig Harbor, Washington. Effective as of January 1, 2005, we pay monthly rent of $1,300 to Abraham and Co., Inc. an NASD member broker/dealer which is controlled by our President, Kye A. Abraham. This rent includes the use of the office space, bookkeeping services, telephone, office supplies, utilities, computers and photocopiers. The office is attached to Mr. Abraham's home. The lease arrangement is a month-to-month oral lease with Mr. Abraham and the payment amount increased to $1,500 per month in 2007 to keep pace with increased costs.    Item 3. Legal Proceedings  Except as discussed below, LKA is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings and, to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against LKA by any federal, state or local governmental agency.  1.  LKA International, Inc. v. Au Mining, Inc.  On August 27, 2007, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Au Mining, Inc.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Au Mining agreed to release all rights to the Golden Wonder Mine and the Ute Ule Mine, including all mining rights thereto, that it had under the 2003 Lease Agreement between the parties and/or Au Mining's option exercise under the parties 1997 Lease Agreement.  For more information regarding this Settlement Agreement see our 8-K Current Report dated August 24, 2007.  2.  Ute-Ule - BLM remediation matter.  As of the date of this Report, management has had several meetings with the BLM and the Solicitor General's office in an effort to negotiate a settlement of this matter. The Company and the BLM remain in the process of discussing and deliberating the purported environmental impacts as discussed in the engineering evaluation and cost analysis report commissioned by the BLM.  No determination of an overall site clean-up plan has yet been made by the BLM.  The BLM has taken the position that LKA will be liable for the cleanup on the Ute-Ule property, with the timing of the cleanup, the ultimate cost, and LKA's share of the total cost, still to be determined.  The BLM has indicated its willingness to negotiate a settlement of the matter and LKA  8   intends to vigorously defend itself.  We are currently in the negotiating stages of this process and we can not accurately predict what our ultimate liability, if any, will be. If we are unsuccessful in reaching a cost effective arrangement with the BLM and are held responsible for the entire amounts associated with the cleanup the financial consequences could render the Company insolvent.  In the first quarter of 2007, the Company filed a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the BLM for the purpose of driving a 4,600 exploratory drift from the Companys unpatented claims at the valley floor into Gold Hill in the hope of intersecting the Golden Wonder vein system.  In May, 2007, the BLM informed us that this project, as proposed by the Company, does not qualify for the NOI process and that it wants the Company to proceed by filing a comprehensive Plan of Operations, which is considerably more expensive  and time-consuming. The Company believes it is clearly entitled to use the NOI process for exploratory projects of this nature and has appealed the local BLM decision to the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA). The Administrative Law Judge ordered that hearings/proceedings be suspended to give the parties time to reach a compromise.  We are currently actively engaged in settlement discussions with the BLM over this matter.  None of this directly effects the Companysability to continue mining the Golden Wonder from the current working areas where it maintains active permits.  On May 16, 2007, the Company learned of a lawsuit filed by Barrick GoldStrike Mines, Inc. (Barrick) against Au Mining and its officers, alleging that Au Mining salted Golden Wonder mine assay samples to indicate considerably higher gold content than was actually contained in the ore that it delivered to Au Mining in May/June, 2006.  Based on Barricks sampling protocol and the fact that the grade of ore in the contested shipment, while high, was not inconsistent with ore grades produced from the Golden Wonder and shipped to various processors over a period of nine years, LKA believes that it is hightly unlikely that Au Mining could have carried out such a scheme.  However, if Barrick is able to substantiate its allegations, it could call into question the grade of the gold in the Golden Wonder mine.  On May 18, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to this matter.  To the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to the Company.  To the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to LKA.    Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders  No matter was submitted to a vote of our security holders during the calendar year covered by this Annual Report or during the two previous calendar years.     PART II     Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.  Market Information  There is no "established trading market" for our shares of common stock. Our shares are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") under the symbol "LKAI"; however, management does not expect any established trading market to develop unless and until we have material operations. In any event, no assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will develop or be maintained. If a public market ever develops in the future, the sale of "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission by members of management or others may have a substantial adverse impact on any such market. All of these persons have satisfied the six month holding period requirement of Rule 144. See "Sales of Unregistered Securities During the Past Three Years," of this Annual Report.  Set forth below are the high and low closing bid prices for our common stock for each quarter during our two most recent calendar years. These bid prices were obtained from Pink Sheets, LLC, formerly known as the "National  9   Quotation Bureau, LLC," All prices listed herein reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.

Effective as of December 31, 2005, we granted to Mr. Abraham options to purchase an additional one million such shares at a price of $0.55 per share, exercisable for a period of three years.  On August 1, 2006, we issued 30,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of our common stock to Sean Tingey for services valued at $.91 per share.  On February 22, 2007, we issued 100,000 unregistered and restricted shares of our common stock to Charles H.  10   Brown for consulting and business relations services.  Also on February 22, 2007, we granted to Steve Glass warrants to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.80 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.  The warrants for 100,000 of these shares will vest upon the issuance by the State of Colorado of a permit to commence exploration operations on the Companys claims at Slumgullion Pass near Lake City, Colorado.  The warrants for the remaining 100,000 such shares will vest upon the successful conclusion of LKAs environmental cleanup matter with the Bureau of Land Management.  See the caption Legal Proceedings, Part I, Item 3 of this Report.  On August 21, 2007, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to Nancy Bentson-Essex for legal services valued at $3,000.  On December 28, 2007, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Mr. Abraham for services previously rendered. The options have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and have a five-year term from the date of grant.  We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission and from various similar state exemptions.  In connection with the sale of these securities, the Company relied on the fact that there were fewer than 35 non-accredited recipients.  In addition, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities  We did not sell any registered securities during the calendar year ended December 31, 2007.

Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  During the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, we received total royalty revenue of $0, compared to royalty revenue of $821,637 in 2006.  Due to our dispute with Au Mining, royalty revenues ceased during the year ended December 31, 2006, and we do not expect to receive any future revenues until production activities resume on our Properties pursuant to our letter agreement with Richmont.  The commencement of such activities is subject to numerous contingencies, and we can provide no assurance that these contingencies will be met.  Operating expenses increased from $664,753 in 2006, to $1,943,455 in 2007. This change was primarily due to settlement expenses and bad debt expense, which collectively totaled $629,180 in 2007.  In addition, general and administrative expenses increased to $502,646 in 2007, from $308,688 in the 2006 period.  Officer salaries and bonus increased to $615,092 in 2007, as compared to $127,500 in 2006. With a combination of significantly decreased revenues and significantly increased operating costs, we incurred an operating loss of $1,943,455 during the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to operating income of $156,884 in 2006.  Our total other expense decreased to $35,829 in 2007, from $51,226 in the prior year.  Interest income decreased to $14,546 in 2007, from $20,631 in 2006. Interest expense increased to $16,726 in 2007 from $12,588 in 2006.  We had $133,460 in unrealized loss on securities and $28,559 in realized gain on securities in 2007. This compares to unrealized losses and realized losses of $32,521 and $77,696, respectively, in 2006. We received $71,252 in dividend and other investment income in 2007, versus $48,744 in 2006.  After taking into account income tax benefit of $400,600 for 2007 and income tax expense of $49,673 in 2006, net income totaled $(1,578,684), or $(0.12) per share, and $55,985 , or $0.00 per share, respectively, during these periods. Our stockholders' equity of $1,052,014 at December 31, 2007, represented a decrease of approximately 49% in stockholders' equity of $2,131,312 at December 31, 2006.  Liquidity and Capital Resources  Current assets at December 31, 2007, totaled $1,168,646.  As of that date, we had $22,676 in cash and $0 in money market funds, as compared to $403,467 and $113,619 at December 31, 2006.  During fiscal 2007, our operating activities used net cash of $630,791.  In 2006, by contrast, operating activities provided net cash of $26,257.  Net cash provided by investing activities decreased to $0 in 2007, from $7,889 in the prior year.  Net cash used for financing activities increased to $280,000 in 2007, compared to $0 in 2006 and relates solely to a payment on notes payable of $280,000, which was related to the settlement of our dispute with Au Mining in August, 2007.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $464,060, as compared to working capital of $1,670,991 at December 31, 2006.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  We had no off balance sheet arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Gig Harbor, Washington  We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of LKA International, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LKA International, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of LKA International, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.   /s/HJ & Associates, LLC  HJ & Associates, LLC Salt Lake City, Utah April 14, 2008         F-3    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

F-9    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  The consolidated financial statements presented are those of LKA International, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary (LKA International, Inc.), a Nevada corporation.  The Company was incorporated on March 15, 1988, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was engaged in several natural resource projects, but ceased operations shortly thereafter due to high capital investments and the risk of no return. The Company exited the development stage in September 2003 as a result of the reacquisition of its interest in an operating mine near Lake City, Colorado. The Company is currently engaged in efforts to expand mine production and continues to seek additional investment opportunities (See Note 11).  a. Accounting Methods  The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a calendar year-end.  b.

Exploration Costs  Costs related to locating and evaluating mineral and ore deposits, as well as determining the economic mineability of such deposits are expensed as incurred.  d. Asset Retirement Obligations  On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143).  SFAS 143 requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at fair value at the time the obligations are incurred.  Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost should also be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. See Note 3.  F-10    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2006  NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  e. Income Taxes  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Colorado.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004.  The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.  The Companys policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 consist of the following: 20072006Current -Federal$(179,772)$42,560State(31,734)7,113Deferred-Federal(161,296)-State(27,798)-Total provision for income taxes$(400,600)$49,673  Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:  20072006Deferred tax assets:Net operating loss carry forward$159,623$-Accrued expenses23,16818,080Allowance for bad debts33,721-Depreciation(3,863)5,525Valuation allowance--Net deferred tax asset$212,649$23,555           F-11    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  e. Income Taxes (Continued)  The federal income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 due to the following:  20072006Pre-tax book income (loss)$(668,400)$34,155State income taxes-(2,280)Meals and entertainment1,230430Unrealized loss45,37510,512Stock for services37,400535Options issued for services141,135-Related party accruals4,5932,030Penalties and other218-Depreciation(370)1,583Accretion585-Allowance for doubtful accounts33,721-Net operating loss carry forward159,623-Net operating loss carry back244,890-Federal Income Tax$-$46,965  Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.  Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.  At December 31, 2007, the Company has recognized an income tax receivable totaling $244,890 relating to a net operating loss carry back expected to be recovered from income taxes paid in prior periods.  f. Cash Equivalents  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  g. Principles of Consolidation  The consolidated financial statements include those of LKA International, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary (LKA International, Inc.), a Nevada corporation.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  h. Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 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.     F-12    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)   i. Revenue Recognition Policy  Royalty revenue is recognized by the Company at the time the Licensee/Operator of the Companys mineral properties has delivered ore and or concentrates to the buyer and receives notice of a final sale/settlement and is entitled to payment. Historically, such sales/settlements have been conducted through ASARCO and Barrick Gold Corp.  j. Securities and Investments  The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115), regarding marketable securities. The Company invests in securities that are intended to be bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, and as a result, classifies such investments as trading securities.  Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value being reflected as unrealized gains or losses in the current period.  In addition, and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 115, the Company also classifies the cash flows from purchases, sales, and maturities of trading securities as cash flows from operating activities.  k. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Companys assessment of the collectibility of payments on accounts, notes and accrued interest receivable. This assessment requires judgment regarding the ability of customers to pay the amounts owed to the Company. The allowance activity for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows (See Notes 4 and 5):  20072006Beginning Balance$-$                      -Allowance for 50% of Notes Receivable57,897-Allowance for 50% of Accounts Receivable32,263-Allowance for 50% of Accrued Interest Receivable9,020-Ending Balance$90,180$                      -  l. New Accounting Pronouncements  In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, or SFAS 155, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. This statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.  F-13     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)  In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. This statement amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement 125, or SFAS 140, regarding (1) the circumstances under which a servicing asset or servicing liability must be recognized, (2) the initial and subsequent measurement of recognized servicing assets and liabilities, and (3) information required to be disclosed relating to servicing assets and liabilities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.  In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of SFAS 109, (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides interpretive guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48on January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment to SFAS No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option should only be made at initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis accounting. The decision about whether to elect the fair value option is applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is irrevocable and is applied only to an entire instrument and not only to specified risks, cash flows or portions of that instrument. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting standards that require certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). The Company adopted the recognition and related disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006. SFAS No. 158 also requires that an employer measure plan assets and obligations as of the end of   F-14     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  l. New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)  the employers fiscal year, eliminating the option in SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 to measure up to three months prior to the financial statement date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 requires entities to report noncontrolling interests as a separate component of shareholders equity in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of earnings attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests should be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 requires any changes in a parents ownership interest of its subsidiary, while retaining its control, to be accounted for as equity transactions. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  m. Reclassification of Prior Period Balances  Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the year ended December 31, 2007, with no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders equity.  NOTE 2 - FIXED ASSETS  Fixed assets and depreciation for the period are as follows: December 31, 2007Fixed assets:Land$376,442Mining claims12,137Automobile66,923Unamortized asset retirement obligation (Note 3)56,922Total fixed assets$512,424  Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $20,830 and $20,830, respectively.  F-15    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007   NOTE 3 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS  SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs.  The Companys asset retirement obligations (AROs) consist of estimated costs related to the reclamation of the Golden Wonder and Ute Ule mines in correspondence with federal and state reclamation laws as defined by each applicable mine permit.  The obligation and corresponding asset have been recognized in the period in which the liability was incurred.  The Company calculates its estimated AROs for final reclamation and mine closure based upon anticipated amounts and timing of future cash expenditures for a third party to perform the required work.  Spending estimates have been escalated for inflation (estimated at 1.93% per annum), then discounted at the credit-adjusted risk-free rate (estimated at 4.09% per annum at September 18, 2003).  The Company recorded an ARO asset associated with the liability and amortizes the asset over its expected life using the strait-line depreciation method.  The ARO liability is being accreted to the projected spending date.  Changes in estimates could occur due to mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, and changes in the timing of the performance of reclamation activities. No such changes have been made through December 31, 2007.  During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company revised its assessment of the anticipated productivity of the Ute Ule mine, and determined that the mine would not be subject to further development or mining activity. As a result, the entire ARO asset associated with the Ute Ule mine was written off.  Accretion expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,722 and $1,655, respectively.  NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  The Company owes Cognitive Associates Limited Partnership $56,828 in unpaid principal from a note dated December 31, 1986.  The note is unsecured, due upon demand, and accrues interest at 10% per annum.  No payments have been made during the year ended December 31, 2007.  Accrued interest related to this note totaled $53,606 as of December 31, 2007.  The Company owes Cognitive Intelligence Limited Partnership $5,975 in unpaid principal from a note dated October 1, 1987.  The note is unsecured, due upon demand, and accrues interest at 10% per annum.  No payments have been made during the year ended December 31, 2007.  Accrued interest related to this note totaled $7,303 as of December 31, 2007.  The Company pays a company owned by an officer and shareholder $1,500 per month for office rent and expenses.  The affiliated Company, (Abraham & Co., Inc. a NASD member and registered investment advisor) also executes the Companys securities transactions and manages its investment portfolio.   F-16     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)  From 2002 to 2007, the Company advanced $64,526 to various parties in the form of legal payments associated with activities unrelated to the operation of the Company. The counterparties are considered to be affiliates of the Company as they are represented, collectively, by an officer of the Company. These advances are due upon demand and non-interest bearing. As of December 31, 2007, and due to the current market conditions and uncertainty as to the timing of any eventual repayment, the Company has elected to record an allowance equivalent to 50% of the outstanding balance, or $32,263.  On December 31, 2003, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an officer and shareholder for services previously rendered. The shares were granted in two tranches of 1,000,000 options on December 31, 2004, and 1,000,000 options on December 31, 2005. The 2004 and 2005 grants had an exercise price of $0.25 and $0.55 per share, respectively, and have a three-year term from the date of grant. See Note 9.  During March 2006, the Company sold a sapphire gem to an officer and shareholder in exchange for $2,204 in cash. The gem has been in the possession of the company for over fifteen years and had previously been written-off for financial reporting purposes.  As such, the entire cash receipt was recorded as a current period (2006) gain on sale.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company awarded $50,000 in bonuses to an officer and shareholder related to the execution of the option agreement to grant Richmont Mines a 50% joint venture interest in the Golden Wonder Mine (see Note 11).  As of December 31, 2007, this amount has been paid in full.  On December 28, 2007, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an officer and shareholder for services previously rendered. The options have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and have a five-year term from the date of grant. See Note 9.  NOTE 5 - NOTES RECEIVABLE  In October 2003, the Company loaned $99,997 to seven individuals. These notes accrued interest at 8.5% per annum and were due in full by December 15, 2004.  On December 15, 2004, all seven of the above notes receivable were exchanged for new notes totaling $110,164.  The new notes extended the term of the previous notes through December 15, 2005 and have face values equivalent to the full value of all prior notes plus all associated accrued interest.  On March 1, 2006, all seven of the notes were again exchanged for new notes. The new notes extended the term of the previous notes through March 1, 2007, and had face values equivalent to the full value of all prior notes plus all associated accrued interest.  All of the replacement notes accrue interest at 8.5% per annum, and were due in full on March 1, 2007.  On May 16, 2006, one of the notes receivable was paid in full in the amount of $5,785, including accrued interest.      F-17     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 5 - NOTES RECEIVABLE (Continued)  The total remaining principal amount of these notes receivable plus related accrued interest totaled $133,833 at December 31, 2007. Although the Company has verbally agreed to extend the due date of these notes through December 31, 2007, no repayments have yet been received. As such, the Company has determined it necessary to record an allowance equivalent to 50% of the outstanding principle and accrued interest balances. This determination was based upon current market conditions and uncertainty as to the timing of any eventual repayment. The total associated allowance as of December 31, 2007, was $66,916.  NOTE 6 - NOTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION  During the fall of 2002, the Federal Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") advised the Company of its desire to extend to the Ute-Ule Property certain environmental clean-up activities that it is conducting on neighboring properties that the Company does not own.  The BLM has commissioned and obtained an engineering evaluation and cost analysis (EE/CA) report on the Ute-Ule and the neighboring public lands. The EE/CA, which was released for a 30 day public comment period in December of 2002, has identified a large volume of mine tailings and metals loading of shallow ground water, with elevated levels of arsenic, cadmium and lead being present.  The total clean-up costs on all of these properties are estimated at approximately $7 million, with the projected clean-up cost of the Ute-Ule alone estimated at approximately $4,317,000. The BLM has prepared a written response to the public comments received concerning the EE/CA and is in the process of selecting an overall site clean-up plan and is determining the final engineering plans. Once these tasks are completed, the BLM will then enter into the process of implementing those plans. As of December 31, 2007, the Company and the BLM remain in the process of discussing and deliberating the reported environmental impacts as previously reported within the EE/CA. No determination of an overall site clean-up plan has yet been made by the BLM.  Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the BLM and EPA may either require a property owner to perform the necessary cleanup or the agencies may perform the work and seek recovery of costs against the owner.  The BLM has taken the position that the Company will be liable for the cleanup on the Ute-Ule property, with the timing of the cleanup, the ultimate cost, and the Companys share of the total cost, still to be determined.  The BLM has indicated its willingness to negotiate a settlement of the matter and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself.  However, the Company is in the early stages of this process and cannot accurately predict a range of what the ultimate liability, if any, will be.  NOTE 7 - SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION  On October 6, 2006, the Company received a letter from counsel for Au Mining (AUM), lease and operator of the Golden Wonder Mine, and its principals, demanding immediate payment of $740,000, with interest alleged to be due to them under the lease agreement with AUM.   F-18     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 7 - SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION (Continued)  The lease agreement with AUM provided for the payment of $5,000 each to AUMs principals every month for work on the anticipated lower level development of the Golden Wonder mine until the commencement of commercial mining thereon.  On or about October 27, 2006, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment against AUM. It seeks a declaratory judgment that the Company has no obligation to make payments under the lease agreement because the new development contemplated thereby has not commenced.  The complaint also seeks an order requiring AUM to pay the Company's attorneys fees and costs incurred in connection with the action.  AUM subsequently counterclaimed against the Company, seeking rescission of the lease agreement or, in the alternative, damages from the Company for breach of the lease agreement.  The counterclaim sought damages for the Companys alleged failure to make the $5,000 per month payments and for alleged breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing in failing to finance the development of new levels of the Golden Wonder mine.  On August 24, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with AUM. Under the terms of the agreement, AUM agreed to release all rights to the Golden Wonder Mine and the Ute Ule Mine, including all mining rights thereto, that it had under the 2003 Lease Agreement between the parties and/or AUM's option exercise under the parties' 1997 Lease Agreement. The Company agreed to pay to AUM the sum of $280,000 within 60 days of the date of the agreement, with the payment of an additional $250,000 payable 12 months from the date of the agreement. The Company remitted the $280,000 payment to AUM on October 22, 2007.  On August 24, 2007, the Company executed a promissory note evidencing the remaining obligation of $250,000. The note bears interest at the rate of eight percent, includes a late fee of five percent of the balance due, and has no prepayment penalty. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has recorded associated interest expense (and liability) of $7,233.  In connection with the agreement, the Company has executed a Royalty Agreement under which it is to pay to AUM a net smelter royalty of six percent on all future proceeds received from materials produced from the Golden Wonder Mine, with all royalty payments to cease once AUM has received total royalty payments of $12,647,505. The parties have further agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims and counterclaims made in Case No. 2006 CV 05, filed in the District Court of Colorado, Hinsdale County. In addition, AUM has agreed to grant the Company subterranean access to the Golden Wonder Mine through its Red Cloud patented mining claim for an annual fee of $1,000 during the years that such easement is used.     F-19     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  Except as discussed below and in Notes 6 and 7, the Company is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings and, to the knowledge of management; no proceedings are presently contemplated against the Company by any federal, state or local governmental agency.  NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION  Previous Non-Disclosure of Options Granted  In April 2007, the Companys Board of Directors concluded that the Companys financial statements for the calendar years ended December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005, did not properly disclose:  (i) the granting to the Companys President, Kye A. Abraham, on December 31, 2004, of an option to purchase up to one million shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, exercisable for three years (the 2004 Options); or (ii) the granting to Mr. Abraham on December 31, 2005, of an option to purchase up to one million shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $0.55 per share, exercisable for three years (the 2005 Options).  At its annual meeting held on December 31, 2003, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the grant of the 2004 Options in 2004 and the grant of the 2005 Options in 2005, but due solely to administrative oversight, neither the grant of the 2004 Options nor the grant of the 2005 Options were ever formally documented in the years that they were intended to be granted.  As a result, neither the Companys audited financial statements for the calendar years ended December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005, nor its Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB for those calendar years indicated that either the 2004 Options or the 2005 Options had been granted.  The Company has amended the disclosure in these Annual Reports accordingly.  Options Outstanding  As noted above, the Companys board of directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an officer and shareholder for services previously rendered on December 31, 2003. The shares were granted in two tranches of 1,000,000 options on December 31, 2004, and 1,000,000 options on December 31, 2005. The 2004 and 2005 grants had an exercise price of $0.25 and $0.55 per share, respectively, and have a three-year term from the date of grant.  On December 28, 2007, the Companys board of directors authorized an additional issuance of options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an officer and shareholder for services previously rendered. The options have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and have a five-year term from the date of grant.  F-20     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)  Treatment and Pro Forma Results  On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), requiring measurement and recognition of expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123R supersedes SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 25. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25 and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, which did not require compensation cost be recognized for the Companys stock options provided the option exercise price was established at 100% (or greater) of the common stock fair market value on the date of the grant.  Awards granted after January 1, 2006, will be valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over  the  service  periods of each  award.  Additionally, SFAS  No. 123R  requires companies to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards as they continue to vest, as calculated previously and recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. There were no unvested amounts associated with previously issued (employee) options as of January 1, 2006. As such, the adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have an impact to the Companys current or previously reported financial information.  As of January 1, 2006, and until December 28, 2007, the Company had two (employee) option awards outstanding, representing a total of 2,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. The Company estimated the fair values of these stock option awards granted on December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005,  using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility of 110% and 138%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.2% to 4.4%, weighted average expected option lives of 3 years, and no dividend yield. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. All 1,000,000 of the 2004 options expired on December 31, 2007, without having been exercised.     F-21    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)  Treatment and Pro Forma Results (continued)  If the fair value provision of SFAS No. 123R would have been applied to all stock-based compensation for periods prior to January 1, 2006, net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts shown in the following table for the years indicated as follows:   For the Years Ended December 31, 20072006Previously reported net income$(1,578,684)$55,985Pro forma net income$(1,578,684)$55,985Weighted average shares - basic12,844,06012,808,694Earnings per share - basic$(0.12)$0.00Weighted average shares - diluted12,844,06014,808,694Earnings per share - diluted$(0.12)$0.00   Issuance of Options Since Adoption of SFAS No. 123R  On December 28, 2007, the Company issued an additional (employee) option award for a total of 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. The Company estimated the fair values of these stock option awards using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility of 131%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.52%, a weighted average expected option life of 5 years, and no dividend yield. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. The resulting fair value estimate, net of tax, totaled $415,092. This amount was recorded as a current period expense during the fourth quarter of 2007.        F-22     LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

On February 22, 2007, the Company authorized the issuance of 200,000 warrants to consultants for the purchase of equivalent shares of the Companys common stock at $0.80 per share. The grant of these warrants is contingent upon the completion of certain activities related to exploration and remediation milestones related to the Companys Golden Wonder and Ute Ulay mines in Hinsdale County, Colorado. As of December 31, 2007, these contingencies have not been met, and, therefore, the warrants have not been granted. The warrants will expire five years from the date of their issuance.  On August 21, 2007, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock, at $0.60 per share, to an attorney for services rendered in relation to the Au Mining litigation.  NOTE 11 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS  On November 5, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Richmont Mines Inc. which grants Richmont an option to earn a 50% joint-venture interest in the Companys Golden Wonder Mine located near Lake City, Colorado. Richmont had sixty days from the date of the agreement in which to complete its evaluation of the Golden Wonder Mine and exercise an option to enter into a joint venture with the Company for the further development and exploration of the mine and surrounding property.    F-23    LKA INTERNATIONAL, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2007  NOTE 11 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (Continued)  On December 21, 2007, Richmont notified the Company that it has completed its initial evaluation of the Golden Wonder Mine and intends to proceed with the Initial Commitment Period of an option to acquire a 50% joint venture interest in the mine. During this Initial Commitment Period, Richmont will be required to invest $3 million in certain project-related expenditures prior to September 1, 2008. Included in this amount will be expenditures for exploration and development within the mine as well as approximately $550,000 to, or on behalf of, the Company for option fees, litigation settlement costs and project-related finders fees. Also included will be certain amounts for permit compliance work at the mine.  Once Richmont completes its obligations under the Initial Commitment Period it will have the option, but not the obligation, to proceed with a formal joint venture in which Richmont can earn a 50% interest in the Golden Wonder Mine, subject to additional Option Expenditures totaling $15 million over a maximum, sixty-four month period. In the event Richmont fails to complete any of the Option Expenditures within certain specified time periods the shortfall will be paid directly to LKA in cash.  Richmont may (at any time) relinquish the option and its rights under the agreement for any reason including not having identified sufficient mineralized resource to justify, in Richmont's discretionary view, the development and construction of the infrastructure required for exploitation. If Richmont so relinquishes, or if the agreement is otherwise terminated for any reason, Richmont shall forfeit all amounts paid or spent prior to the termination and make any payment then due to LKA under the agreement (i.e. unfunded commitment amounts as defined in the Agreement. Richmont would not retain any right, title, or interest in and to the agreement, any purchased property or related assets.  The Company has recognized all direct cash payments received from Richmont as deferred gains. These amounts, totalling $150,000 as of December 31, 2007, will be recorded as a period gain only upon the completion (by Richmont) of the associated Commitment Period. An additional payment, also for $150,000, was received by the Company on January 9, 2008.        F-24    Item 8.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure  None; not applicable.    Item 8A(T). Controls and Procedures.  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.  As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation we concluded that information required to be disclosed is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized, communicated and reported to allow for required disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission reports.  Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that such internal controls have operated effectively for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Changes in internal control over financial reporting  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Annual Report.    Item 8B.
