EMPIRE MINERALS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS XACORD CORP.)
(AN EXPLORATION COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
 1.
    
    Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
 a.
    
    Nature of Business  Empire Minerals Corp. (Company) (formerly known as
Xacord Corp.) was incorporated January 4, 1996 under the laws of Delaware. The Company is
engaged in the exploration of precious and base metals including gold and copper. All
potential properties currently under exploration are located in the Peoples Republic of
China and Panama.From September 2005 to January 2007, the Company changed its name 3 times to reflect the
changing business plans. The original name of the Company was Objectsoft Corporation. In
June 2005, the name was changed to Nanergy, Inc. In, June 2006, the name was changed to
Xacord Corp and in January 2007, the name was changed to its current name, Empire Minerals
Corp.On February 20, 2007, the Company completed a triangular reverse merger with Empire
Minerals Corp., a Nevada Corporation (formerly known as Empire Gold Corp.) (Subsidiary)
and Xacord Acquisition Sub Corp, then the Companys subsidiary (Xacord). All 26,504,000
shares in the Subsidiary were exchanged one for one for 26,504,000 shares in the Company.
Additionally, 5,950,000 warrants in the Subsidiary were exchanged one for one for 5,950,000
warrants in the Company. The Subsidiary was the accounting acquirer and the Company was the
legal acquirer. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization.
As such, the accompanying financial statements reflect the historical operations of the
Subsidiary in the capital structure of the Company at the beginning of the first period
presented herein.b.
    
    Basis of Presentation  The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries Empire Minerals Corp., a Nevada
corporation (formerly known as Empire Gold Corp.), 50% owned Zhaoyuan Dongxing Gold Mining
Co., Ltd. (Dongxing), and 70% owned Empire (Tianjin) Resources Co., Ltd. (Tianjin)
(Subsidiaries). All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the
Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Minority interest has not
been presented on the consolidated balance sheet because accumulated losses have exceeded
the minority shareholders equity. In accordance with APB No. 18, the minority interest
has been written down to zero on the accompanying balance sheet.The Company is currently in an exploration stage, which is characterized by significant
expenditures for the examination and development of exploration opportunities by its
Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries focus for the foreseeable future will continue to be on
securing joint venture agreements within the Peoples Republic of China and Panama to begin
conducting mining operations.c.
    
    Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with

 accruals, for example, we must calculate the fair value of options granted based
on various assumptions. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those
estimates.d.
    
    Fair value of financial instruments- The Company believes the carrying value
of its financial instruments, including convertible notes, approximate fair value due to
their short maturities.e.
    
    Cash and Cash Equivalents  For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less.f.
    
    Concentration of riskFinancial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality
financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The
Company has limited experience as it is an exploration stage company but does not
anticipate incurring any losses related to this credit risk. As of September 30, 2007, the
Company had amounts in bank accounts in excess of FDIC insurance of $1,877,963.The Company has gold mining activities in Peoples Repbulic of China (PRC). Accordingly,
the Companys mining business, financial condition and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general
state of the PRCs economy. The Companys operations in the PRC are subject to specific
considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North
America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Companys
results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws
and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and
rates and methods of taxation, among other things.g.
    
    Net Loss Per Share  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share,an basic earnings/loss per common share (EPS)
is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under SFAS 128, diluted earnings/loss per share is
computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
potential common shares had been issued and dilutive. Net loss used in determining basic
EPS was $3,830,898, $1,064,312 and $5,954,570 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, the period from inception (March 1, 2006) through September 30, 2006, and the period
from inception (March 1, 2006) through September 30, 2007, respectively. The weighted
average number of shares of common stock used in determining basic EPS was 33,478,825 and
15,979,566 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the period from inception
(March 1, 2006) through September 30, 2006, respectively.

    Income Taxes  The Company provides for income taxes under SFAS 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes,which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted income tax
rate expected to apply to taxable income in the period in which the deferred tax liability
or assets is expected to be settled or realized. SFAS 109 requires that a valuation
allowance be established if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount
that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. The provision for
federal income tax differs from that computed amount by applying federal statutory rates
to income before federal income tax expense mainly due to expenses that are not deductible
and income that is not taxable for federal income taxes, including permanent differences
such as non-deductible meals and entertainment.i.
    
    Stock based compensation For stock, options and warrants issued to service
providers, employees and founders, the Company follows SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,which requires
recording the options and warrants at the fair value of the service provided and expensing
over the related service period.j.
    
    Recently issued accounting pronouncementsIn September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.This statement
clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. Management has not determined the effect,
if any; the adoption of this statement will have on the financial statements.In November 2006, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued 96-19 Debtors Accounting for
a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments. EITF 96-19 provides a test to determine
whether a transaction should be accounted for as an extinguishment (with gain or loss
recognition) or as a modification (with no gain or loss recognition). If the change in
the fair value of the embedded conversion option is at least 10 percent of the carrying
amount of the original debt instrument immediately prior to the modification or exchange,
the transaction should be accounted for as an extinguishment. EITF 96-19 also provides
that when a convertible debt instrument is modified or exchanged in a transaction that is
not accounted for as an extinguishment, an increase in the fair value of the embedded
conversion option should be reduce the carrying amount of the debt instrument with a
corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. However, a decrease in the fair value
of an embedded conversion option resulting from a modification or an exchange should not be
recognized. The Company adopted EITF 96-19.k.
    
    Equipment  Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The estimated service
lives of equipment and vehicles are as follows:

    Political and economic risks The Company entered into joint venture
contracts to establish businesses in China and Panama. Accordingly, the Companys
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environments in these countries.The Companys operations in these countries are subject to specific considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western
Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and
legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Companys results may be adversely
affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations,
anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and
methods of taxation, among other things.m.
    
    Impairment for long live assets  SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets requires that long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale, including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower
of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 broadens the reporting of
discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be
distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing
operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 also establishes a
primary-asset approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of
assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be
held and used. The Company has no impairment issues to disclose.n.
    
    Foreign currency translation  The reporting currency of the Company is US
dollar. Dongxing and Tianjin use their local currency RMB, as their functional currency.
Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the
period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by
the Peoples Bank of China at the end of the period, and equity is translated at
historical exchange rates.Translation adjustments amounted to $5,449 gain as of September 30, 2007. Asset and
liability accounts at September 30, 2007 were translated at 7.50 RMB to $1.00. Equity
accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to
income statement accounts and cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2007, from
inception (March 1, 2006) to September 30, 2006, and from inception (March 1, 2006) to
September 30, 2007 were 7.65 RMB, 7.99 RMB and 7.81 RMB, respectively. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows
from the Companys operations is calculated based upon the

 local currencies using the
average translation rate. Because cash flows are also translated at average translation
rates for the period, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily
agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of
operations as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from inception (March
1, 2006) to September 30, 2006, and from inception (March 1, 2006) to September 30, 2007,
total transaction gain (loss) amounted to $11,080, $0, and $11,080 respectively.

    Going ConcernThe Company is an exploration stage company and therefore has had no revenues or cash flows
from operations. The Company has insufficient sources of cash flows raising substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, management
is continuing to look for financing from various sources, although there are no guarantees that
they will be successful in their endeavors. In addition, the Company is in the process of
finding more companies in China and Panama to form joint ventures agreements with in order to
begin mining operations. No adjustment has been made to the accompanying financial statements
as a result of this uncertainty.3.
    
    Note receivableOn August 9, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Silver Global S.A., a
corporation organized and operating under the laws of the Republic of Panama (the debtor) for
the amount of $80,000, payable on demand. The debtor pays the Company interest on the
principal at 5% per annum.4.

work.Zhaoyuan Dongxing Gold Mining Co., Ltd. (Zhaoyuan Dongxing)  The Company entered into a
joint venture agreement with Zhaoyuan Dongxing Gold Minerals Co., Ltd. (Dongxing) to conduct
gold mining activities in the PRC. The agreement calls for a total capital contribution of

    For the transaction fee for the Company, Bellhaven and Cuprum transaction the
Company has paid Silver 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock (issued as
restricted securities) and if the Company completes its acquisition of the 65%
interest in Cuprum, it will transfer to Silver 7.5% of Cuprums outstanding stock.
If the Company earns the additional 10% interest in Cuprum by obtaining the
Bankable Feasibility Study, the Company will transfer to Silver 5% of Cuprums
outstanding stock. If the Company completes more than 50% of the full payment due
to Bellhaven and Cuprum but not all and thus earns a reduced interest in Cuprum,
the balance of the transaction fee to Silver will be proportionally reduced.
