We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. and
subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at April 30, 2012, April 30, 2011, and May 1, 2010, and the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.   1

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. and subsidiaries as at April 30, 2012, April 30, 2011, and May 1, 2010, and financial performance and their cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Emphasis of Matter Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has a deficit of $78.5 million at April 30, 2012 and incurred a net loss of $6.9 million during the year ended April 30, 2012. These matters indicate the existence of material
uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.    Independent Registered Chartered AccountantsJuly 27, 2012Vancouver, Canada 2







Emphasis of Matter





Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has a deficit of $78.5 million at April 30, 2012 and incurred a net loss of $6.9 million during the year ended April 30, 2012. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the year ended April 30, 2012 and 2011

(Expressed in Canadian dollars except where indicated)


1           Nature of Operations





CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (the “Company” or “CanAlaska”) and its subsidiaries for the past 7 years have been principally engaged in the exploration of uranium properties. The Company will attempt to bring the properties to production, structure joint ventures with others, option or lease properties to third parties or sell the properties outright. The Company has not determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable and the Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. From time to time, the Company evaluates new properties and directs exploration on these properties based on the Board of Director’s evaluation of financial and market considerations at the time. On June 21, 2011, the Company’s shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “CVV” and ceased trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s shares are also quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) in the United States under the symbol “CVVUF” and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “DH7N”. The Company’s registered office is located at 625 Howe Street, Suite 1020, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T6, Canada.





2 Going Concern





These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classification that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.





The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties. Due to increasingly difficult market conditions facing junior uranium exploration companies there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional financing. The amounts shown as mineral property costs represent net acquisition costs incurred to date and do not necessarily represent current or future values of the mineral properties.





At April 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million (April 30, 2011: $9.6 million) (note 5) and working capital of $3.1 million (April 30, 2011: $8.2 million). The Company has a deficit of $78.5 million at April 30, 2012 and incurred a net loss of $6.9 million during the year ended April 30, 2012. Management believes that the cash on hand at April 30, 2012 is sufficient to meet corporate, administrative and selected exploration activities for the coming twelve months. Should management be successful in its forthcoming exploration programs it may either need to dilute its ownership in its properties or secure additional financing to continue to advance the development of its exploration projects. The above factors cast substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





a)                      Statement of Compliance





These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (“IASB”). These IFRS consolidated financial statements are the Company’s first annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ending April 30, 2012. Previously, the Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). Subject to certain transition elections disclosed below, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies in the opening IFRS statement of financial position as at May 1, 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 17 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company’s reported consolidated statements of financial position, statement of net loss and comprehensive loss and statement of cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2011.





The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are presented in note 3 and are based on IFRS issued and effective at April 30, 2012. These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on July 27, 2012.





b)                      Basis of preparation





These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.  The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured on the fair value basis.





These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CanAlaska and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including:




· CanAlaska Resources Ltd. U.S.A., a Nevada company


· CanAlaska West McArthur Uranium Ltd., a B.C. company


· Golden Fern Resources Limited, a New Zealand company


· Poplar Uranium Limited., a B.C. company





Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or convertible, are taken into account in the assessment of whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company.  They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. All inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.





These consolidated financial statements also include the proportionate share of each of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of its interest in CanAlaska Korean Uranium Limited Partnership (“CKULP” or the “Partnership” or the “CKU Partnership”) and CanAlaska Korean Uranium Limited.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)





c)                      Share-based payments





The Company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees and non-employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Company.  The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.





The fair value of share-based compensation is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and management’s assumptions as disclosed in note 10. When a stock option is exercised, the Company recognizes an increase in its share capital equivalent to the consideration paid by the option holder and the amount previously recognized in equity reserve. The fair value of any stock options granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company is recorded as an expense over the vesting period of the options with a corresponding increase in equity reserve.





d)                      Income taxes





Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense.  Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity.





Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.





Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to unused tax loss carry forwards, unused tax credits and differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.





The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income or loss in the period that substantive enactment occurs.





A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized.  To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.





The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities:


· the initial recognition of assets or liabilities, not arising in a business combination, that does not affect accounting or taxable income;


· initial recognition of goodwill;


· investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and reversal in the foreseeable future is not probable.





Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to the set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)





e)                      Flow-through shares





Under Canadian income tax legislation, a company is permitted to issue flow-through shares whereby the Company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. The Company has adopted a policy to (i) allocate the proceeds between the offering of the shares and the sale of tax benefits when the shares are offered and (ii) recognize an income tax provision upon filing of appropriate renunciation forms with the Canadian taxation authorities for qualifying expenditures previously incurred.





The allocation of the proceeds is made based on the residual difference between the quoted price of the shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow-through shares. A liability is recognized for the premium paid by the investors. The liability is reduced and the reduction of premium liability is recorded in other income when the Company has the intention to renounce the expenditures with the Canadian taxation authorities for qualifying expenditures previously incurred.  The deferred tax impact, if any, is recorded at the same time.





f)                      Property and equipment





Property and equipment (“PPE”) are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss. Where an item of property and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.





The Company provides for amortization of its property and equipment as follows:





Automotive
30% declining balance basisLeasehold improvements
30% declining balance basisMining equipment
30% declining balance basisOffice equipment
20% declining balance basis





g)                      Exploration and evaluation expenditures





Exploration and evaluation expenditure include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred as mineral property expenditures. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.





Acquisition costs are capitalized to the extent that these costs can be related directly to the acquisition of a specific area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)





Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.





Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property and equipment.





Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.





The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its investment in mineral properties and accordingly follows the practice of expensing all costs relating to exploration for and development of mineral claims and crediting all proceeds received for option or farm-out arrangements or recovery of costs against the mineral expenditures.





h)                      Impairment of non-financial assets





At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for the period. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.





Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.





Management considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that the Company’s non-financial assets are impaired. External sources of information management considers include changes in market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of its non-financial assets.  Internal sources of information management consider include the manner in which non-financial assets are being used or are expected to be used and indications of economic performance of the assets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)





i)                      Foreign currencies





The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot rates prevailing at the date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the date of the transaction and not revalued every period.





j)                      Financial assets and liabilities





Financial assets held are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and available-for-sale securities. Financial liabilities are trade and other payables.





These are classified into the following specified categories: available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets, loans and receivables and other liabilities. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Available-for-sale securities held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as being AFS and are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in other comprehensive income in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of significant or prolonged losses which are recognized in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investments revaluation reserve is included in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the period.





The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the financial position reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortized cost of the asset is recognized in profit or loss. Trade and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.





The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:





Cash and cash equivalents
Loans and receivablesAvailable-for-sale securities
Available-for-saleTrade and other receivables
Loans and receivablesTrade and other payables
Other financial liabilities

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued)





Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:


·
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


·
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);


·
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).





The Company’s available for sale investments are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the reporting period.





Impairment of financial assets





Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each financial position reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For unlisted shares classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. For all other financial assets objective evidence of impairment could include:


·
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or


·
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or


·
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.





For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When an accounts receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in equity.





k)                       Investment revaluation reserve





Investment revaluation reserve includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, none of which are included in the calculation of net earning or losses until realized or until there is a significant or prolonged decline in the investments value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





l)                      Cash and cash equivalents





Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits in banks, bankers’ acceptances and certificates of deposits (note 5) and are readily convertible into a known amount of cash with maturity days of three months or less.





m)                    Decommissioning liabilities





Obligations associated with the decommissioning of tangible non-current assets are recorded as provisions when those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at management’s best estimates. These obligations are capitalized in the accounts of the related non-current assets and are amortized over the useful lives of the related assets. It is possible that the Company's estimates of its ultimate decommissioning liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, the extent of environmental remediation required and the means of reclamation or costs estimates. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively from the period these estimates are revised. There are no decommissioning liabilities obligations as at April 30, 2012, April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010.





n)                     Equity





An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of issue costs.





o)                     Provisions





A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.





p)                     Interest income





Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.





q)                     Loss per share





Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the loss attributed to shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. Stock options, shares to be issued, and warrants outstanding are not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

s)                      Accounting standards issued but not yet effective





·
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, issued in December 2009, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted, introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Management anticipates that this standard will be adopted in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the period beginning January 1, 2015.





●
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendment), the amendment, effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011, with early application permitted, requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures relating to transfers of financial assets, where: financial assets are derecognized in their entirety, but where the entity has a continuing involvement in them or; financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety.




·
IAS 12Income Taxes (Amendment), IAS 12 Income Taxes, amendments regarding Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets introduces an exception to the existing principle for the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising on investment property measured at fair value, and the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sale basis.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.




·
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment), the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements require companies preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRS to group together items within other comprehensive income (“OCI”) that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement. The amendments retain the 'one or two statement' approach at the option of the entity and only revise the way other comprehensive income is presented: requiring separate subtotals for those elements which may be 'recycled' (e.g. cash-flow hedging, foreign currency translation), and those elements that will not (e.g. fair value through OCI items under IFRS 9).  In addition, the tax associated with items presented before tax to be shown separately for each of the two groups of OCI items (without changing the option to present items of OCI either before tax or net of tax). The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

·
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements, and SIC12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.  IFRS 10 establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more entities.  This standard (i) requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements; (ii) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as a basis for consolidation; (iii) sets out how to apply the principle of control whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee; and (iv) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.  IFRS 10 may be adopted to an earlier accounting period, but in doing so, an entity must disclose the fact that it has early adopted the standard and apply IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as amended in 2011), IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures)as amended in 2011).





·
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interest in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers.This standard establishes the core principle that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement (joint operations or joint ventures).  This standard is effective for annual periods on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.





·
IFRS 12 combines the disclosure requirements for an entity’s interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities into one comprehensive disclosure standard.  This standard requires the disclosure of information that enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interest in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted, and entities are permitted to incorporate any of the new disclosures into their financial statements before that date.





·
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurementprovides guidance on how to measure fair value, but does not change when fair value is required or permitted under IFRS.  IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payments transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payments; leasing transactions with the scope of IAS 17 Leases; measurements that have some similarities to fair value that are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories; or value in use IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.





·
IAS 27 has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates when an entity elects, or is required by local regulations, to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.

·
IAS 28 prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and to set the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.





·
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”), in June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 that introduced significant changes to the accounting for defined benefit plans and other employee benefits.  The amendments include elimination of the options to defer or recognize in full in profit or loss actuarial gains and losses and instead mandates the immediate recognition of all actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income.  The amended IAS 19 also requires calculation of net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset using the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation. In addition, other changes incorporated into the amended standard include changes made to the date of recognition of liabilities for termination benefits and changes to the definitions of short-term employee benefits and other long-term employee benefits which may impact on the classification of liabilities associated with those benefits. The amendments to IAS 19 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted.





·
IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine (“IFRIC 20”), in October 2011, the IASB issued IFRIC 20. IFRIC 20 clarifies the requirements for accounting for the costs of stripping activity in the production phase when two benefits accrue: (i) usable ore that can be used to produce inventory; and (ii) improved access to further quantities of material that will be mined in future periods. IFRIC 20 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted and includes guidance on transition fro pre-existing stripping assets.





The Company is assessing the application of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above and whether it has a material impact on the results and financial position of the Company.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates





The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.





Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)





a)
Critical judgments





The Company has determined that it will account for its investment in CKU Partnership using the proportionate consolidation method to reflect its joint control with the Korean Consortium. In assessing whether the Company has joint control the Company assessed whether all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement. This assessment necessarily involves judgment as to whether (i) the Consortium and the Company have equal rights and powers in governing the financial and operating policies of the Partnership or appointing and removing members of the Partnership’s Board of Directors and (ii) decision making is governed by the Partnership’s Board of Directors, with equal representation from the Consortium and the Company.





The Company decided not to recognize deferred tax assets consisting of Canadian exploration expenses, capital losses and unused tax losses as it considered it not to be probable that taxable income will be available in the near future to offset these deferred tax assets.





A variety of practices have historically been adopted in the accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures. Some mining entities have capitalized all exploration and evaluation expenditures as a matter of policy, while others have written off the costs as incurred until a decision was made that commercial exploitation is probable, from which point the costs have been capitalized. The Company has elected to have a policy to expense all costs for exploration and evaluation expenditures.





The Company believes that the cash on hand at April 30, 2012 is sufficient to meet corporate, administrative and selected exploration activities for the coming twelve months.





b)
Estimates

1Represents cumulative spend required not the spend per fiscal year to maintain certain interests in the Company’s properties.





a)      Cree East, Saskatchewan – Korean Consortium





Cree East consists of approximately 56,000 hectares of mineral claims in the Athabasca. In December 2007, the Company formed the CKU Partnership with the Korean Consortium (“Consortium”) to develop Cree East. Under the terms of agreements, the Korean Consortium would invest $19.0 million towards the earn-in of a 50% ownership interest in the CKU Partnership over a four year period. As of April 30, 2012, the Korean Consortium had contributed $19.0 million (April 30, 2011: $19.0 million) and held a 50% interest (April 30, 2011: 50%) in the CKU Partnership. The total cash contribution for the year ended April 30, 2012 from the Korean Consortium was $nil (2011: $6.0 million). The Company acts as the operator for the exploration project and earns a management fee of 10% of the exploration expenditures incurred.  The total expenditures on the property for the year ended April 30, 2012 was $2,733,000 (2011: $4,581,000).





b)      West McArthur, Saskatchewan - Mitsubishi





West McArthur consists of approximately 36,000 hectares of mineral claims in the Athabasca. In April 2007, the Company optioned the claims to Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd. (“Mitsubishi”) whereby Mitsubishi could exercise an option to earn a 50% interest in the property by funding expenditures of $10.0 million and by making a $1.0 million payment upon completion of the $10.0 million funding requirement. In February 2010, Mitsubishi exercised their option with a payment to the Company of $1.0 million and an unincorporated 50/50 joint venture was formed between the parties to pursue further exploration and development of the property. The total cash contribution for the year ended April 30, 2012 from Mitsubishi was $1.3 million (2011: $1.5 million). The Company acts as project operator and earns a fee (between 5% and 10%) based on the expenditures incurred.

BC Copper is comprised of approximately 25,000 hectares located in south central British Columbia. In November 2011, the Company optioned the claims to Tyrone Docherty and subsequently amended the agreement in February 2012 whereby certain acquired claims were included and excluded in the option as well as a reduction in the required exploration expenditure. Tyrone Docherty may earn a 50% interest in the property by making payments of $30,000 (received) and making exploration expenditures of $250,000 before July 2014.

Option and warrant pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants. The Company’s expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the compensation expense for the period ended April 30, 2012:

14
Financial Instruments





The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.





The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and commodity price risk.





a)
Currency Risk





The Company’s presentation and functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the functional currency of its New Zealand subsidiary is the New Zealand dollar and its United States subsidiary is the US$. The Company is therefore exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, both in the New Zealand dollar relative to the Canadian dollar , and in the US$ relative to the Canadian dollar.





The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.





A 10% change in the New Zealand dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s comprehensive loss by 22,000.





A 10% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s comprehensive loss by $1,000.

14
Financial Instruments (continued)





b)
Credit Risk





Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. To mitigate exposure to credit risk, the Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with high quality large Canadian financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.





As at April 30, 2012, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.





c)
Liquidity Risk





Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is reliant upon equity issuances as it source of cash. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company continuously reviews its actual expenditures and forecast cash flows and matches the maturity dates of its cash and cash equivalents to capital and operating needs.





d)
Interest Rate Risk





The Company’s interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents is exposed to interest rate risk. A decrease in interest rates would result in lower relative interest income and an increase in interest rates would result in higher relative interest income.





15
Management of Capital





The Company considers its capital to consist of common shares, stock options and warrants. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.





The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares and, acquire or dispose of assets.





In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with short term maturities, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

Transition to IFRS





The Company has adopted IFRS effective May 1, 2010 (“Transition Date”) in accordance with IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards”, which provides guidance for an entity’s initial adoption of IFRS. IFRS 1 generally requires retrospective application of IFRS as effective at the end of its first annual IFRS reporting period. However, IFRS 1 also provides certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to this retrospective treatment.





The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied in the preparation of its opening IFRS statement of position at the date of transition, and in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.





IFRS Exemptions and Choices





The Company has elected to apply the following optional exemptions in its preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at May 1, 2010, the Company’s Transition Date:





a)             Share-based payments





The Company has applied IFRS 2 “Share based Payments” only to equity instruments that were issued after November 7, 2002 and had not vested by the Transition Date.





b)            Business combinations





The Company has applied the business combination exemption in IFRS 1 to not apply IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” retrospectively to past business combinations. Accordingly, the Company has not restated any business combinations that took place prior to the Transition Date.

Transition to IFRS (continued)





c)          Leases





The Company has elected under IFRS 1 not to reassess whether an arrangement contains a lease under IFRIC 4 for contracts that were assessed under previous Canadian GAAP. Arrangements entered into before the effective date of EIC 150 that have not subsequently been assessed under EIC 150, were assessed under IFRIC 4, and no additional leases were identified.





Mandatory exceptions to retrospective application





In preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1 the Company has applied certain mandatory exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS. The mandatory exceptions applied from full retrospective application of IFRS are described below.





Estimates





In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of May 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date.





Other IFRS-1 exemptions and mandatory exceptions have not been discussed above as they are not applicable to the Company.





In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"). An explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the additional notes that accompany the tables.

17
Transition to IFRS (continued)





Notes to the reconciliation of equity and net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss):





a)                Flow through shares and deferred taxes





Under Canadian GAAP, the Company followed the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) with respect to flow-through shares, as outlined in EIC-146. The application of EIC-146 requires the recognition of the foregone tax benefit on the date the Company renounces the tax credits associated with the exploration expenditures, provided there is reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be made. To recognize the foregone tax benefits to the Company, the carrying value of the shares issued is reduced by the tax effect of the tax benefits renounced to subscribers.





As part of the transition to IFRS, the Company has adopted a policy to (i) allocate the proceeds between the offering of the shares and the sale of tax benefits when the shares are offered and (ii) recognize an income tax provision upon filing of appropriate renunciation forms with the Canadian taxation authorities for qualifying expenditures previously incurred. In particular, the corresponding reduction of share capital in respect of flow-through share financing as a result of the allocation of the proceeds as previously recorded under Canadian GAAP is now recorded as other income in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.





Pursuant to the above policy the allocation of the proceeds from flow through share issuance is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow-through shares. A liability is recognized for the premium paid by the investors. The liability is reduced and the reduction of premium liability is recorded in other income when the Company has the intention to renounce the expenditures with the Canadian taxation authorities for qualifying expenditures previously incurred. The deferred tax impact, if any, is recognized at the same time.





The effects of this transitional change are as follows:




(i)
Premium on flow-through shares:a)
decreased share capital and deficit at May 1, 2010 by $792,000, to recognize the premium paid for flow-through shares in excess of the market value of the shares without the flow-through features.(ii)
Renouncement of flow-through tax credits:a)
increased share capital and deficit by $7,569,000 at May 1, 2010;b)
decreased share capital and deferred tax provision expense by $149,000 for the year ended April 30, 2011 to recognize an income tax provision upon filing of appropriate renunciation forms with the Canadian taxation authorities for qualifying expenditures previously incurred.

b)                      Variable interest entity





Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounted for its interest in CKULP (“Partnership”) as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with the Company as the primary beneficiary. The Partnership was determined to be a VIE because the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the Partnership to finance its mine exploration and development activities without additional financial support from its partners. Consequently, the Company concluded that the entity was a VIE and identified the primary beneficiary of the Partnership as the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated 100% of the Partnership, and previously reported a non‐controlling interest. IFRS does not include the concept of a variable interest entity.





IFRS requires the Company to consolidate entities including Special Purpose Entities only where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. On application of IFRS, the Company determined that it has joint control of the Partnership under the contractual provisions of the joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”).  The Company does not control the Partnership based on voting interest and does not own more than half of the voting power. Furthermore, both the Consortium and the Company have equal rights and powers in governing the financial and operating policies of the Partnership or appointing and removing members of the Partnership’s Board of Directors. Decision making is governed by the Partnership’s Board of Directors, with equal representation from the Consortium and the Company. Under IFRS, the Company has applied the proportionate consolidation method to account for its interest in the Partnership.





Under the JV Agreement, the contributions by the Consortium to obtain its 50% ownership have occurred over time commencing with the formation of the Partnership in 2007. Upon changing from full consolidation to proportionate consolidation under IFRS, the cash contributions by the Consortium are reflected in equity during the year ended April 30, 2011 as they result from transactions at the shareholder level and do not result in a change of joint control. The effects of the deconsolidation are as follows:





(i)                        At May 1, 2010:


a)     cash decreased by $836,000


b)     non-controlling interest decreased by $12,600,000


c)     credit resulting from above credited to deficit in the amount of $11,764,000





(ii)                        At April 30, 2011:


a)     cash decreased by $1,774,000


b)     non-controlling interest decreased by $19,000,000


c)     credit resulting from above credited to deficit in the amount of $5,462,000

c)                      Share based payments





Under IFRS graded vesting awards are accounted for as though each instalment is a separate award. IFRS does not provide for an election to treat the instruments as a pool and recognize expense on a straight line basis. Straight line basis is permissible under Canadian GAAP. Under IFRS, the estimates of the number of equity-settled awards that vest are adjusted to the actual number that vests, unless forfeitures are due to market-based conditions. There is no choice to accrue compensation cost as if all instruments granted were expected to vest and recognize the effect of the forfeitures as they occur as elected by the Company under Canadian GAAP. The impact of transition to IFRS with respect to options granted after November 7, 2002 that vest after the date of transition is as follows: (i) increased deficit and equity reserve by $469,000 at May 1, 2010, (ii) decreased share-based payments expense and equity reserve by $96,000 for the year ended April 30, 2011.





d)                      Deferred mineral exploration costs





Under Canadian GAAP, the Company records it interests in mineral exploration properties at cost. Exploration expenditures, other than those of a general nature, relating to mineral properties in which an interest is retained were deferred and carried as an asset until the results of the projects are known. If a project is unsuccessful or if exploration has ceased because continuation is not economically feasible, the cost of the property and the related exploration expenditures were written off.





Under IFRS, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to retrospectively expense all pre-feasibility exploration and evaluation costs.





The effects of this transitional change are as follows:





(i)             At May 1, 2010:


a)     decrease deferred exploration assets of $44,542,000


b)     increase deficit of $44,542,000





(ii)            At April 30, 2011:


a)     decrease deferred exploration assets of $52,345,000


b)     increase opening deficit by $44,542,000


c)     increase net loss by $7,803,000

Impact of above on deferred taxes





The Company has reversed deferred income tax liability with respect to the taxable temporary differences between the carrying value of the mineral property interests as follows:





(i)                  At May 1, 2010:


a)     decrease liability and deficit by $3,399,000





(ii)                 At April 30, 2011:


a)     decrease liability by $3,596,000


b)     decrease opening deficit by $3,399,000


c)     decrease net loss by $197,000





e)             Impact on deficit





The effect of the above adjustments on deficit is as follows:

f)              Impact on cash flow





As described in note 17(b) the deconsolidation of CKULP resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents as follows:





(i)                        At May 1, 2010:                                     cash decreased by $836,000


(ii)                       At April 30, 2011:                                  cash decreased by $1,774,000





A separate reconciliation has not been presented as the impact is limited to the above and there are no other impacts on net cash flows.
