31、inion on these financial statements based on our audits.We conducted our audits inaccordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.Those standards require that we comply with ethicalrequirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial s
32、tatements are freefrom material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment,including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement ofthe fin

39、ANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThese financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles,the more significant of which are summarized below.Revenue recognitionSales of natural gas are recognized when title passes to the customer,normally at the transp
40、orters(Union Gas Limited)pipeline delivery point,and collectability is reasonablyassured.Investment income is recognized when earned.Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and short-term investments that have a fixed maturity date less than three months from the dat
41、e of acquisition.InventoryInventory consists of pipe,fittings and processing supplies and is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value,with the cost of pipe and fittings determined on a first-in,first-out basis.Natural gas propertiesThe Company owns and/or controls approximately 40,000 ac
42、res of petroleum,natural gas and mineral leases in Charlotteville,Walsingham and Houghton townships in NorfolkCounty,Ontario,and follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas properties whereby all acquisition and development costs relating to the properties are capitalized.These costs
43、are depleted by the unit of production method based on estimated proven drilled gas reserves.The ratio of production to proved reserves before royalties determinesthe proportion of depletable costs to be expensed.The natural gas reserves of the Company are assessed annually.Total capitalized costs n
44、et of accumulated depletion and future income taxes is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proven reserves at year end,less estimated future production related general and administrative expenses,financing costs and income taxes.At March 31,2011 and 2010,no writedown
45、was required.Theprices used to estimate future cash flows are based on published forecasted prices for the NYMEX adjusted for the historical price differential between Metalores gas sales andthe benchmark.Forecasted prices,in Canadian dollars,for the following next six calendar years are:Remainder o
46、f 20116.10per Mcf20148.21per Mcf20126.92per Mcf20158.75per Mcf20137.47per Mcf20169.14per McfMining properties The Company owns a 1%net smelter return on 18 claims in the Brookbank and Beardmore area of Ontario and a 26%participating interest in approximately 600 contiguousmining claims in Sandra,Irw
47、in,Walters,Leduc and LeGault townships in Northwestern Ontario which are subject to a working option agreement with Goldstone Resources Inc.,formerly Ontex Resources Limited.The Company also owns a 100%interest in 306 mining claims in the Sioux Narrows(Cedartree Lake)area of Northwestern Ontario.Acq
48、uisition and exploration costs are capitalized.During the year,general and administrative costs of$1,537(2010-$1,785)and exploration costs of$119,257(2010-$11,572)were capitalized.Disposals of mining property and equipment are offset against the acquisition costs.If exploration activities are follow
49、ed by production,capitalized costs will beamortized on the unit of production method based on the estimated reserves in the area.If exploration activities are unsuccessful and the area is abandoned,all capitalizedcosts relating to the area will be written off.Mining properties are assessed annually
50、or as economic events dictate,for potential write-down.Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments-recognition and measurementThe Company has classified its marketable securities as available for sale assets.Accounts receivable is classified as loans and receivables.Cash and cash equivalents isclassi
51、fied as held for trading while accounts payable and accrued liabilities,and due to shareholders are classified as other financial liabilities.Purchase and sale of securities are accounted for on a trade date basis.Fair value hierarchyThe Company follows the recommendations of CICA Handbook Sections
52、3862 and 3863 for the disclosure and presentation of its financial instruments.Under Section 3862,the Company is required to classify their financial instruments within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair market value.The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:Level 1-unadjusted qu
53、oted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2-inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectlyLevel 3-inputs that are not based on observable market data.Cash and cash equivalents,marketable securities ar
54、e measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs and accounts receivable,accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due toshareholders are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs.Section 3863 establishes the standards for presentation of financial assets and liabilities from the perspective of th
55、e issuer as well as the classification of interest,dividends,gains and losses as well as the circumstances in which financial assets and liabilities can be offset.Impairment TestThe Company performs an impairment test annually to determine the recoverability of capitalized costs associated with rese
56、rves.Should the amount of the capitalized costsexceed the amount of the reserves,the resulting impairment loss will be recognized in earnings.The amount of the impairment loss is determined by making assumptions aboutfuture reserves,the price of natural gas and future costs all of which are subject
57、to uncertainty.By their nature,these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty andchanges in these estimates may have a material impact on the financial statements of future periods.Asset retirement obligationThe Company recognizes the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligations
58、on the balance sheet when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.The fair valueof the estimated obligation associated with the retirement and reclamation of tangible long-lived assets is recorded in the period the related assets are put into use with acorresponding increase to the carrying
59、amount of the related assets.This increase in capitalized costs is depleted to income on a basis consistent with the underlying assets.Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation are capitalized and depleted over the remaining useful life of the underlying asset
60、.The asset retirement obligation liabilities are carried on the balance sheet at their discounted present value and are accreted over time for the change in their present value.METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED MARCH 31,20117METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDNOTES TO FINANCIA
61、L STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED MARCH 31,2011(Continued from previous page)Future income taxesThe liability method of tax allocation is used in accounting for income taxes.Under this method,future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences betweenthe financial reporting and tax basis of a
62、ssets and liabilities,and measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences areexpected to reverse.Stock optionsThe Company uses the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to account for stock options granted to employees.
63、Under the fair value method,theCompany recognizes estimated compensation expense related to stock options over the vesting period of the options granted,with the related credit being charged to contributedsurplus.Upon exercise of any stock options,amounts previously credited to contributed surplus a
64、re reversed and credited to share capital.There were no stock options issuedduring the year or in the prior year.Earnings per shareEarnings per share has been calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding.Fully diluted earnings per share reflects the maximum possible dilution fromt
65、he potential exercise of stock options and is anti-dilutive for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.Future changes in significant accounting policiesInternational Financial Reporting StandardsIn February 2008,the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be req
66、uired to adopt International Financial ReportingStandards(IFRS)effective for all interim and annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,2011,with early adoption permitted.As a result thesechanges will be effective for the Companys fiscal period ended March 31,2012.T
67、he transition date of April 1,2010 will require the restatement of comparative balances for theyear ended March 31,2011.The conversion to IFRS will impact the Companys accounting policies,information technology and data systems,internal control over financialreporting and disclosure controls and pro
68、cedures.The transition date of April 1,2010 will require the restatement of comparative balances for the year ended March 31,2011.IFRS transition planThe Company has established a comprehensive IFRS transition plan to assist with the planning and implementation of its transition to IFRS.The followin
69、g summarizes theCompanys progress and expectations with respect to the IFRS transition plan:1.Scoping and analysis of key areas for which accounting policies may be impacted by the transition to IFRS.In progress,completion during Q1 Fiscal 20122.Detailed evaluation of potential changes required to a
70、ccounting policies,information systems and business processes,including the application of IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards In progress,completion during Q1 Fiscal 20123.Resolution of the accounting policy change implications on information technology,busines
71、s processes and contractual arrangements.In progress,completion during Q1 Fiscal 20124.Quantification of the financial statement impact of changes in accounting policies.In progress,completion during Q1 Fiscal 20125.Management and employee education and training.Throughout the transition process and
72、 on-going as neededImpact of adopting IFRS on the Companys businessAs part of the analysis of potential changes to significant accounting policies,the Company is assessing what changes may be required to its accounting systems and businessprocesses.The Company believes that the changes identified to
73、 date are minimal and the systems and processes can accommodate the necessary changes.To date the Company has not identified any contractual arrangements that may be affected by potential changes to significant accounting policies.The Companys staff andadvisors involved in the preparation of financi
74、al statements are being trained on the relevant aspects of IFRS and the anticipated changes to accounting policies.Employees ofthe Company that will be affected by a change to business processes as a result of the conversion to IFRS will also be trained as necessary.The Board of Directors and AuditC
75、ommittee have been regularly updated on the progress of the IFRS conversion plan and made aware of the evaluation to date of the key aspects of IFRS affecting the Company.First time adoption of IFRSThe adoption of IFRS requires the application of IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial
76、 Reporting Standards(IFRS 1),which provides guidance for an entitysinitial 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 providescertain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions t
77、o this retrospective treatment.The Company expects to identify the optional exemptions that it expects will apply inits preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at April 1,2010,the Companys Transition Date.Prior to reporting interim financial statements in accordance withIFR
78、S for the quarter ended June 30,2011,the Company may decide to apply other optional exemptions contained in IFRS 1.IFRS does not permit changes to estimates that have been made previously.Accordingly,estimates used in the preparation of the Companys opening IFRS statement of financialposition as at
79、the Transition Date will be consistent with those made under current Canadian GAAP.If necessary,estimates will be adjusted to reflect any difference in accounting policy.Impact of adopting IFRS on the Companys financial statementsThe adoption of IFRS will result in some changes to the Companys accou
80、nting policies that are applied in the recognition,measurement and disclosure of balances andtransactions in its financial statements.The following provides a summary of the Companys evaluation to date of potential changes to accounting policies in key areas basedon the current standards and guidanc
81、e within IFRS.This is not intended to be a complete list of areas where the adoption of IFRS will require a change in accounting policies,but to highlight the areas the Company has identified as having the most potential for significant change.The International Accounting Standards Board has a numbe
82、r of ongoingprojects,the outcome of which may have an effect on the changes required to the Companys accounting policies on adoption of IFRS.At the present time however,theCompany is not aware of any significant expected changes prior to its adoption of IFRS that would affect the summary provided be
83、low:8METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED MARCH 31,2011(Continued from previous page)1.Exploration and Evaluation ExpendituresIFRS currently allows an entity to retain its existing accounting policies related to the exploration for and evaluation of mineral properties,su
84、bject to some restrictions.The Company expects to retain its current policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditures are incurred.Therefore,the Company does not expect that theadoption of IFRS will result in any significant change to the related line items within its financial statements
85、.2.Impairment of(Non-Financial)AssetsIFRS requires a write down of assets if the higher of the fair market value and the value in use of a group of assets is less than its carrying value.Value in use isdetermined to be the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the discounted estimated fut
86、ure cash flows.Current Canadian GAAP requires a write down toestimated fair value only if the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of a group of assets are less than its carrying value.The Companys accounting policies relatedto impairment of assets will bechanged to reflect these differences,how
87、ever the Company does not expect this change will have an immediate impact to the carrying value of its assets.TheCompany will perform impairment assessments as at the Transition Date in accordance with IFRS.3.Share-based PaymentsIn certain circumstances IFRS requires a different measured of stock-b
88、ased compensation related to stock options than current Canadian GAAP.The Company doesnot expect any changes to its accounting policies related to share-based payments that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements.4.Asset Retirement Obligations(Decommissioni
89、ng Liabilities)IFRS requires the recognition of a decommissioning liability for legal or constructive obligations,while current Canadian GAAP only requires the recognition of suchliabilities for legal obligations.A constructive obligation exists when an entity has created reasonable expectations tha
90、t will take certain actions.The Companysaccounting policies related to decommissioing liabilities will be changed to reflect these differences,however the Company does not expect this change will have animmediate impact to the carrying value of its assets.5.Property and EquipmentIFRS contains differ
91、ent guidance related to recognition and measurement of property and equipment than current Canadian GAAP.The Company does not expectany changes to its accounting policies related to property and equipment that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements.6.Incom
92、e TaxesIn certain circumstances IFRS contains different requirements related to recognition and measurement of future(deferred)income taxes.The Company does notexpect any changes to its accounting policies related to income taxes that would result in a significant change to line items within its fin
93、ancial statements.Subsequent disclosureFurther disclosure of the IFRS transition process is expected on the Companys first financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS,the interim financial statements forthe three months ending June 30,2011,which will include notes disclosing transitional i
94、nformation and disclosure of new accounting policies under IFRS.The interim financialstatements for the three months ended June 30,2011 will also include 2011 financial statements for the comparative period,adjusted to comply with IFRS,and the Companystransition position(as at April 1,2010).Measurem
95、ent uncertaintyThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amount of assets and liabilities,disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of th
96、e financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesand expenses during the period.Such estimates are periodically reviewed and any adjustments necessary are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.Actual results could differ from these estimates.3.MARKETABLE SECURITIES2

128、ssion and analysis,prepared as of June 29,2011 review and summarize the activities of Metalore Resources Ltd.(“Metalore”or the“Company”)and compare the financial results for the period ended March 31,2011 with those from March 31,2010.The following should be read together with the audited financial
129、statements for the year ended March 31,2011 and related notes attached thereto,which were prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.CORPORATE PROFILE Metalore has been active in mi
130、ning exploration for over sixty-five years and in Natural Gas development for over fifty years.The company participated in early development of the Provost gas field in Alberta from 1956 through 1961 and has been the major player in developing the Norfolk gas field in Southwestern Ontario since 1964
131、,pioneering state-of-the-art completion and fracturing technology.The Ontario Natural Gas operation constitutes the“core business”of the Company and is its principal source of revenue.The consistent modi operandi of the Company has been to prioritize the allocation of operating income to(1)maintain
132、capital integrity,(2)drill sufficient wells to sustain and or increase production,(3)explore mining exploration prospects of especial merit and(4)continue to pay dividends to Shareholders from operating profits.Metalore is a unique Company in the junior resource sector.It has the lowest number of sh
133、ares outstanding of any resource stock listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange(“MET”on TSX).The Company has protected the equity of shareholders for the past forty years by financing all exploration and development costs with cash flow from operations.Metalore inaugurated payment of its first cash divi
134、dend to shareholders in the year 2000 and has since paid its eleventh consecutive annual dividend.OVERALL PERFORMANCE Management of the Company has established a record of discovering and outlining precious metal resources(Brookbank,Fox Ear,Cherbourg and Irwin,in the Windigokan Lake area,Northwester
135、n Ontario,are 43-101 compliant).The major interests in these deposits were sold in 1998 to Ontex Resources(now Premier Gold),subject to joint venture participations and royalty interests to Metalore.Although the price of Gold has been trending sharply higher since Metalore acquired its new Cedartree
136、 Lake properties,mining exploration is a very high risk business,in terms of returns on investment.Consequently,the Company continues to diligently limit and carefully direct the funds dedicated to this enterprise.Metalore manages a large portfolio of undrilled petroleum and natural gas leases and s
137、ustains production by the systematic drilling of new wells.The Company has consistently located its wells on ultra wide spacing patterns to minimize the year to year decline and maximize the longevity of production which can be verified by its forty-five year production record.Although the price of
138、Natural Gas has been trending lower for the past three years,there is considerably less risk in hydro-carbon development than with mining exploration.Consequently,the Company continues to allocate whatever funds are necessary to sustain production levels.Metalore s Natural Gas Operation continues to
139、 yield the highest MARGIN of profit(per capital invested and revenue recovered)of any actively developing gas producer in Ontario.MINING EXPLORATION UPDATE During the spring of 2010,the Company launched a new two year exploration program on its Cedartree Lake Gold properties in Northwesten Ontario.F
140、rom early April to mid July a two man crew staked an additional 172 mining claim units 1,contiguous to the original 134 claims acquired in 2002,where Metalore obtained high grade gold intersections with early drillings(November,2002,Quarterly Report to Shareholders).From mid July through late Septem
141、ber,the Company employed a local lumber/saw mill contractor to forge some seven kilometers of drill access roads through rugged wilderness terrain with heavy equipment(tree buncher,excavator,dozer and power washer).This equipment enabled Metalore s Geologist to conduct stripping operations(removal a
142、lluvial material)at several locations to examine and map the underlying rock(and mineralization)in preparation for drilling.All of this work was done at nominal cost as there was a synergetic benefit in providing timber for the sawmill from slashing the access route.This access/stripping operation r
143、equired daily supervision by the geologist for more than two months,however,and drilling was not commenced until October.From mid October to mid December just seven drill holes were completed,two on targets associated with geophysical anomalies and five on the projected southwest extension of the ma
144、in gold zone.These results will be combined and released upon completion of the forthcoming expanded drill program this season.The drilling also positively confirmed that subsurface disseminated and massive sulphide mineralization could be precisely located by correlating high tech ground geophysics
145、 2 with airborne anomolies3 in favourable geology of the Cedartree Lake area.Metalore will continue to apply the optimum of its human,technical and financial resources to evaluate the economic potential of this extensive property.1 Each claim unit measures approximately 40 acres.2 Induced Potential.
146、3 Texas Gulf Sulpher drilled 65 airborne anomolies in the spruce swamps north of Timmins before discovering the massive Kidd Creek orebody(Cu,Zn,Ag),now being mined below 10,000 feet underground by Xstrata.11METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDMD&A(contd)12$T 0.28 0.24 0.39 S C 0.24 0.21 0.66 A A -30,515 -C .

148、rch 31,2011 compared to a net income of$418,765 or$0.24 per share for the year ended March 31,2010.No forward strip contracts were in place after the end of October 2010.Production was being sold at two week intervals on the spot market at prices shown on the cover of this report.Revenue and expense
149、s incurred during the year consist of:1.Natural gas revenue of$1,131,580(2010-$1,000,651)increased during the current fiscal year despite continuing low market prices for natural gas.Three new wells were also placed“on stream”late in fiscal 2010,also increased the overall volume of gas produced.2.In
150、vestment&interest income of$69,058(2010-$62,877)slightly increased due to a higher ratio of high dividend paying securities in its investment portfolio(all Ontex shares were liquidated).3.Royalty expenses of$82,532(2010-$57,841)normally vary in proportion to natural gas revenue.They were low in 2010
151、 because of an accrual adjustment.4.Production expenses of$476,960(2010-$450,262)have increased because of an abnormally cold winter requiring higher maintenance.5.Administrative expenses of$177,603(2010$141,590)have also increased.6.Amortization expense of$276,485(2010-$219,000)has increased in pro
152、portion to the amount of natural gas shipped.7.Future income taxes showed a recovery(negative amount)of$326,500.(2010-$216,000).In both cases this was because of a re-assessment of future income taxes based on the lower income tax rates introduced in recent years.SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS Quarter

162、imetable.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Management is required to make estimates in preparing its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP).These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and re
163、ported amounts of net income during the reporting period.The critical accounting estimates made by the Company are used in the determination of natural gas property costs,mining property costs,amortization and depletion of any resource established or found,and future income taxes.i.Natural Gas Prope
164、rty Costs The full cost method of accounting is used whereby acquisition and development costs relating to these properties are capitalized.These costs are depleted by the unit of production method based on estimated proven drilled gas reserves.The ratio of production to proven reserves before royal
165、ties determines the proportion of depletable costs to be expensed.The natural gas reserves of the company are assessed annually by an independent engineer,as verified by the annual filing of National Instrument Form 51-101 with SEDAR.Total capitalized costs net of accumulated depletion and future in
166、come taxes is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proven reserves at year end and costs,less future cash flows based on the Alberta AECO spot price,increased by$1.30 per mmbtu to allow for actual prices received near Dawn,Ontario.Forecast prices used for the next five
167、 years are listed in note 2 of the notes to the annual financial statements.The significance to the financial statements of the estimate of depletion of natural gas properties is that it historically accounts for twenty percent of total expenses before income taxes.The sensitivity of this estimate i
168、s such that an error of ten percent in its calculation would therefore affect total pre-tax expenses by two percent.The company performs an impairment test annually to determine the recoverability of capitalized costs associated with reserves of natural gas.Should the amount of the capitalized costs
169、 exceed the amount of the reserves,the resulting impairment loss will be recognized in earnings.The amount of the impairment loss is determined by making assumptions about future reserves,the price of natural gas and future costs all of which are subject to uncertainty.By their nature,these estimate
170、s are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes to these estimates may have a material impact on the financial statements of future years.For example the table of future estimated gas prices reported in note 2 to the financial statements for 2011 is approximately double the market price current
171、ly prevailing.The Company has no control over the continental market price of natural gas.ii.Mining Property Costs Acquisition and exploration costs are capitalized.Disposals of mining property and equipment are offset against the acquisition costs.If exploration activities are followed by productio
172、n,capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit of production method based on the estimated reserves in the area.Mining properties are assessed annually or as economic events dictate,for potential write down.If exploration activities are unsuccessful and or the area is abandoned,all capitalized
173、 costs are written off.The significance to the financial statements of accounting for mining properties is limited to the balance sheet.There is currently no production from the properties and for this reason no estimates for depletion are necessary.The sensitivity of the balance sheet data to carry
174、ing an abandoned asset depends on the historical cost of the asset.The risks involved in exploration for minerals have been discussed under“Risks and Uncertainties”on page 5 herein.iii.Future Income Taxes Income taxes are calculated using the liability method of tax allocation.Temporary differences
175、between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate future income tax liabilities or assets.Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using the substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect in the
176、 periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse.The effect of changes in rates is included in earnings in the period which includes the substantive enactment.The significance of the calculation of future income taxes to the financial statements is that it can be as much as thirty per
177、cent of pre-tax net income.Differences in the estimate of future income taxes can have a significant effect on the calculation of net income after taxes,as was the case this year and in 2009 and 2010.On the balance sheet,future income taxes account for approximately 14%of total liabilities and equit
178、y.The sensitivity of this estimate is small because historically the Company has paid only Provincial corporate minimum taxes.The Income Tax Act of Canada provides for deductions of exploration and development expenses that can be applied against current income before income tax becomes applicable.T
179、he Company has accumulated sufficient deductions of exploration and development expenses to delay payment of future income taxes for several years.Every year that wells are drilled and developed,or other exploration is conducted,this timeline is pushed still further into the future.4 Note:Natural Ga
180、s royalties are based upon minimum estimated Natural Gas production.13METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDMD&A(contd)FINANCINGS There were no financings during fiscal year ended March 31,2011.OFF BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENT The company maintains a surety bond in the amount of$70,000,which is the maximum required
181、 by the Ministry of Natural Resources as assurance for the abandonment of dry holes and or depleted wells.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Companys financial instruments consist of cash,cash equivalents,accounts receivable,marketable securities,accounts payable and accrued liabilities.It is the managements
182、 opinion that the Company is not exposed to abnormal interest,currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.Management expects to adequately meet its present and future working capital and exploration and development requirements with cash flow from operations.DISCLOSURE CONTROLS
183、and PROCEDURES Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures used for the financial statements and MD&A at March 31,2011.Although certain weaknesses are inherent with small office operations,management has implemented certain controls such as segregatio
184、n of duties within critical departments,frequent reviews and regular preparations of reconciliations of transactions to ensure absence of material irregularities.Management has concluded that the disclosure controls are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed has bee
185、n made known to them in a timely manner.The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure effective information required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable securities laws are accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required discl
186、osure.The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the accompanying financial statements for the Year ended,March 31,2011.REGULATION COMPLIANCE Metalore has complied with all filing requirements pursuant to National Instrument 51-101(Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Ga
187、s Activities)by filing forms 51-101 F1,F2 and F3 with SEDAR.TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES All related party transactions have been recorded at the exchange amount that represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties a)The Company has an agreement with Sou
188、thern Ontario Natural Gas Limited(“SONG”),a private company controlled by the Companys president,George W.Chilian,to provide technical and consulting services for the gas operations for an annual fee of$78,000 plus 10%of the Companys annual gas revenue in excess of$1,000,000.The fiscal 2011 expense
189、charged by SONG amounted to$87,773(2010-$78,000).The Company and SONG also have a joint ownership(52%and 48%respectively)in natural gas properties in Houghton Township,Ontario.The Houghton battery has been shut in for the past three years due to a lack of market demand.As at March 31,2011,the Compan
190、y owed SONG$17,023(2010-$55,900)which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.b)During the year ended March 31,2011,the Company paid the President and Chief Executive Officer$135,600 2010-$135,600 in respect of management and consulting services.c)During the year ended March 31,2011,
191、the Company paid a company influenced by the Chief Financial Officer$4,700 2010-$3,500 in respect of management and consulting services.SHAREHOLDER DIVIDEND POLICY In the year 2000,Metalore introduced a policy to pay annual dividends to shareholders(subject to applicable law).Metalore paid its eleve
192、nth consecutive annual dividend on December 19,2010,to all Shareholders of Record on November 27th.This payment of 6 cents per share was the same as for 2009.RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Mining exploration risks The business of exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk.Very few properties t
193、hat are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.Hydrocarbon risks The hunt for and development of conventional non-renewable hydrocarbons is vulnerable to price variations,dry holes and ultimately depleted reservoirs.Commodity Prices Even if Metalores exploration programs are successf
194、ul,factors beyond the control of the Company will affect the marketability of any resources discovered.Inflation,international economic and political trends,currency fluctuations,interest rates and worldwide production levels all have a bearing on commodity prices.The effect of these factors cannot
195、accurately be predicted.The Company partially mitigates the price risk factor by selling most of its gas production at least several months ahead with forward strip contracts.14METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDMD&A(contd)FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES:INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS(IFRS)In February
196、 2008,the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS)for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,2011,with early adoption permitted.Accordingly,the conversion to IFRS will be appl
197、icable to the Companys reporting no later than in the quarter ending June 30,2011,with restatement of comparative information presented.The conversion to IFRS will impact the Companys accounting policies,information technology and data systems,internal control over financial reporting,and disclosure
198、 controls and procedures.IFRS Transition Plan The Company has established a comprehensive IFRS transition plan to assist with the planning and implementation of its transition to IFRS.The following summarizes the Companys progress and expectations with respect to its IFRS transition plan:Transition
199、Plan Progress 1)Initial scoping and analysis of key areas for which accounting policies may be impacted by the transition to IFRS.In progress,completion expected during Q1 Fiscal 2012 2)Detailed evaluation of potential changes required to accounting policies,information systems and business processe
200、s,including the application of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.In progress,completion expected during Q1 Fiscal 2012 3)Resolution of the accounting policy change implications on information technology,business processes and contractual arrangements.In progre
201、ss,completion expected during Q1 Fiscal 2012 4)Quantification of the Financial Statement impact of changes in accounting policies.Throughout fiscal 2012 5)Management and employee education and training.Throughout the transition process Impact of Adopting IFRS on the Companys Business As part of its
202、analysis of potential changes to significant accounting policies,the Company is assessing what changes may be required to its accounting systems and business processes.The Company believes that the changes identified to date are minimal and the systems and processes can accommodate the necessary cha
203、nges.To date,the Company has not identified any contractual arrangements that may be affected by potential changes to significant accounting policies.The Companys staff and advisers involved in the preparation of financial statements are being trained on the relevant aspects of IFRS and the anticipa
204、ted changes to accounting policies.Employees of the Company that will be affected by a change to business processes as a result of the conversion to IFRS will also be trained as necessary.The Board of Directors and Audit Committee have been regularly updated on the progress of the IFRS conversion pl
205、an,and made aware of the evaluation to date of the key aspects of IFRS affecting the Company.First-time adoption of IFRS The adoption of IFRS requires the application of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS 1”),which provides guidance for an entitys initial
206、 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 Company has identified the optional ex
207、emptions that it expects will apply in its preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position as at April 1,2011,the Companys“Transition Date”:Prior to reporting interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the quarter ended June 30,2011,the Company may decide to apply other
208、optional exemptions contained in IFRS 1.IFRS 1 does not permit changes to estimates that have been made previously.Accordingly,estimates used in the preparation of the Companys opening IFRS statement of financial position as at the Transition Date will be consistent with those made under current Can
209、adian GAAP.If necessary,estimates will be adjusted to reflect any difference in accounting policy.Impact of Adopting IFRS on the Companys Financial Statements The adoption of IFRS will result in some changes to the Companys accounting policies that are applied in the recognition,measurement and disc
210、losure of balances and transactions in its financial statements.The following provides a summary of the Companys evaluation to date of potential changes to accounting policies in key areas based on the current standards and guidance within IFRS.This is not intended to be a complete list of areas whe
211、re the adoption of IFRS will require a change in accounting policies,but to highlight the areas the Company has identified as having the most potential for significant change.The International Accounting Standards Board has a number of ongoing projects,the outcome of which may have an effect on the
212、changes required to the Companys accounting policies on adoption of IFRS.At the present time however,the Company is not aware of any significant expected changes prior to its adoption of IFRS that would affect the summary provided below:1)Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures IFRS currently allows
213、 an entity to retain its existing accounting policies related to the exploration for and evaluation of mineral properties,subject to some restrictions.The Company expects to retain its current policy of expensing exploration and evaluation expenditures as incurred.Therefore the Company does not expe
214、ct that the adoption of IFRS will result in any significant change to the related line items within its financial statements.15METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDMD&A(contd)2)Impairment of(Non-Financial)Assets IFRS requires a write down of assets if the higher of the fair market value and the value in use of
215、 a group of assets is less than its carrying value.Value in use is determined using discounted estimated future cash flows.Current Canadian GAAP requires a write down to estimated fair value only if the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of a group of assets are less than its carrying value.Th
216、e Companys accounting policies related to impairment of assets will be changed to reflect these differences,however the Company does not expect this change will have an immediate impact to the carrying value of its assets.The Company will perform impairment assessments as at the Transition Date in a
217、ccordance with IFRS.3)Foreign Currency IFRS requires that the functional currency of the Company be determined separately,and the factors considered to determine functional currency are somewhat different than current Canadian GAAP.The Company does not expect any changes to its accounting policies r
218、elated to foreign currency that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements at the Transition Date.4)Share-based Payments In certain circumstances,IFRS requires a different measurement of stock-based compensation related to stock options than current Canadian G
219、AAP.The Company does not expect any changes to its accounting policies related to share-based payments that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements.5)Asset Retirement Obligations(Decommissioning Liabilities)IFRS requires the recognition of a decommissioning
220、 liability for legal or constructive obligations,while current Canadian GAAP only requires the recognition of such liabilities for legal obligations.A constructive obligation exists when an entity has created reasonable expectations that it will take certain actions.The Companys accounting policies
221、related to decommissioning liabilities will be changed to reflect these differences,however the Company does not expect this change will have an immediate impact to the carrying value of its assets.6)Property and Equipment IFRS contains different guidance related to recognition and measurement of pr
222、operty and equipment than current Canadian GAAP.The Company does not expect any changes to its accounting policies related to property and equipment that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements.7)Income Taxes In certain circumstances,IFRS contains different
223、 requirements related to recognition and measurement of future(deferred)income taxes.The Company does not expect any changes to its accounting policies related to income taxes that would result in a significant change to line items within its financial statements.Subsequent Disclosures Further discl
224、osures of the IFRS transition process are expected as follows:The Companys Management Discussion and Analysis for the 2011 interim periods and the year ended March 31,2012 will include updates on the progress of the transition plan,and,to the extent known,further information regarding the impact of

226、 new accounting policies under IFRS.The interim financial statements for the three months ending June 30,2011 will also include 2011 financial statements for the comparative period,adjusted to comply with IFRS,and the Companys transition position(as at April 1,2010).DISCLOSURE OF OUTSTANDING SHARE D
