12、arnings,comprehensive income and cash flows for the years then ended.These financial statements are theresponsibility of the companys management.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements basedon our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally
13、accepted auditing standards.Those standards require that weplan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.An audit includes examining,on a test basis,evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statemen
14、ts.Anaudit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,as well asevaluating the overall financial statement presentation.In our opinion,these financial statements present fairly,in all material respects,the financial position of the company as
15、at March31,2009 and 2008 the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadiangenerally accepted accounting principles.61.NATURE OF OPERATIONS Metalore Resources Limited is a junior resource company dedicated to natural gas production and gold explorat
16、ion in Ontario.2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles,the more significant of which are summarized below.Revenue recognition Sales of natural gas are recognized when title passes
17、to the customer,normally at the transporters(Union Gas Limited)pipeline delivery point,and collectability is reasonably assured.Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and short term investments that have a fixed maturity date less than three months from the date of
18、 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 properties The Company owns and/or controls approximately 40,000 acres
19、 of petroleum,natural gas and mineral leases in Charlotteville,Walsingham and Houghton townships in Norfolk County,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 ar
20、e depleted by theunit of production method based on estimated proven drilled gas reserves.The ratio of production to proved reserves before royalties determines the proportion of depletable costs to be expensed.The natural gas reserves of the Company are assessed annually.Total capitalized costs net
21、 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 estimatedfuture production related general and administrative expenses,financing costs and income taxes.At March 31,2009 and 2008,no write down wa
22、s required.The prices used to estimate future cashflows are based on published forecasted prices for the NYMEX adjusted for the historical price differential between Metalores gas sales and the benchmark.Forecasted prices for the followingsix calendar years are:Remainder of20099.37per Mcf201210.86pe
23、r Mcf201010.03per Mcf201311.33per Mcf201110.42per Mcf201411.57per McfThereafter escalation at a rate of 2%Mining 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 contiguous mining claim
24、s inSandra,Irwin,Walters,Leduc and LeGault townships in Northwestern Ontario which are subject to a working option agreement with Ontex Resources Limited(Ontex).The Company also owns a100%interest in 134 mining claims in the Sioux Narrows(Cedartree Lake)area of Northwestern Ontario.Acquisition and e
25、xploration costs are capitalized.During the year,general and administrativecosts of$5,074(2008-$4,378)and exploration costs of$20,720(2008-$16,571)were capitalized.Disposals of mining property and equipment are offset against the acquisition costs.If explorationactivities are followed by production,
26、capitalized costs will be amortized on the unit of production method based on the estimated reserves in the area.If exploration activities are unsuccessful andthe area is abandoned,all capitalized costs relating to the area will be written off.Mining properties are assessed annually or as economic e
27、vents dictate,for potential write down.Financial instruments The Company has classified its marketable securities and long term investments as available for sale assets.Accounts receivable is classified as loans and receivables.Cash is classified as heldfor trading while accounts payable and accrued
28、 liabilities,income taxes payable and due to shareholders are classified as other financial liabilities.Impairment test The Company performs an impairment test annually to determine the recoverability of capitalized costs associated with reserves.Should the amount of the capitalized costs exceed the
29、 amountof 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 naturalgas and future costs all of which are subject to uncertainty.By their nature,these estimates are subject
30、 to measurement uncertainty and changes in these estimates may have a material impacton the financial statements of future periods.Asset retirement obligation The Company recognizes the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligations on the balance sheet when a reasonable estimate of fair v
31、alue can be made.The fair value of the estimatedobligation associated with the retirement and reclamation of tangible long lived assets is recorded in the period the related assets are put into use with a corresponding increase to the carryingamount of the related assets.This increase in capitalized
32、 costs is depleted to income on a basis consistent with the underlying assets.Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the assetretirement obligation are capitalized and depleted over the remaining useful life of the underlying asset.The asset retirement obligation liabilities are carried o
33、n the balance sheet at their discounted present value and are accreted over time for the change in their present value.Future income taxes The liability method of tax allocation is used in accounting for income taxes.Under this method,future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differe
34、nces between the financial reportingand tax basis of assets and liabilities,and measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.Stock options The Company uses the fair value method using the Black Scholes option pricing
35、model to account for stock options granted to employees.Under the fair value method,the Company recognizesestimated compensation expense related to stock options over the vesting period of the options granted,with the related credit being charged to contributed surplus.Upon exercise of these stockop
36、tions,amounts previously credited to contributed surplus are reversed and credited to share capital.Earnings per share Earnings per share has been calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding.Fully diluted earnings per share reflects the maximum possible dilution from the potentia
37、l exerciseof stock options and is anti dilutive for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008.Changes in accounting policies Effective April 1,2008,the Company adopted the following new CICA Handbook sections:Section 3031-Inventories.The section provides guidance regarding the measurement of inventories including
38、 the allocation of costs such as overhead and fixed production costs and allows forthe reversal of previous impairment.The section was adopted retrospectively and had no impact on these financial statements.Section 3863,Financial Instruments-Presentation,Section 1535,Capital Disclosures and Section
39、1400,General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation.The only impact of these sectionswas a requirement for additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEARS ENDED MARCH 31,20097METALORE RESOURCES LIMITEDNOTES TO FINANCI
40、AL STATEMENTSYEARS ENDED MARCH 31,2009(Continued from previous page)Future changes in significant accounting policies The following accounting standards have been issued by the CICA but are not yet effective.The company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting these standards on their financia
41、l statements.In February 2008,the CICA issued Section 3064,Goodwill and intangible assets,(Section 3064)replacing Section 3062,Goodwill and other intangible assets(Section 3062)and Section 3450,Research and development costs.Various changes have been made to other standards to be consistent with the
42、 new Section 3064.Section 3064 will be applicable to financial statements relatingto fiscal years beginning on or after October 1,2008.Accordingly,the Company will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1,2009.Section 3064 establishes standards for therecognition,measurement,pre
43、sentation and disclosure of goodwill and of intangible assets.Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section3062.The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new Section on its financial statements but does not anticipate tha
44、t the adoption of this Section will have a materialimpact on the financial statements.The Accounting Standards Board confirmed that public companies will be required to report under IFRS effective for all interim and annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or afterJanuary 1,2011.Th
45、e transition date of January 1,2011 will require the restatement of comparative balances for the year ended December 31,2010.While the Company has commenced assessingthe adoption of IFRS for 2011,the impact of the change to IFRS cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.Measurement uncertainty The
46、 preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamount of assets and liabilities,disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statem
47、ents and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.Suchestimates 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 SECURITIES 20092008CostFMVCos

77、sion and Analysis(MD&A)in respect of Metalore Resources Limited(“Metalore”or the“Company”)should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended March 31,2009.The Companysfinancial statements and financial data set out below have been prepared in accordance w
78、ith Canadian generally accepted accountingprinciples.Unless specified otherwise,all dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars.Additional information relating to the Company,including the Annual Report for the fiscal year 2009,is available on SEDAR at .This discussion contains certain forward-looking st
79、atements.All statements,other than statements of historical fact,thataddress activities,events or development that the Company believes,expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future areforward-looking statements.These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses made by manage
80、ment in light ofits experiences and perception of historical trends,current conditions and expected future developments,as well as other factorsmanagement believes are appropriate in the circumstances.However,whether actual results and developments will conform tomanagements expectations is subject
81、to a number of risks and uncertainties.Forward-looking statements are not guarantees as tothe Companys future results since there are inherent difficulties in predicting future results.Accordingly,actual results could differfrom those expressed or implied.Corporate ProfileMetalore is a unique Compan
82、y in the junior resource sector.It has the lowest number of shares outstanding of any resourcestock listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange(TSX).The Company has protected the equity of shareholders for the past forty yearsby financing all exploration and development costs with cash flow from operations
83、.Metalore inaugurated payment of its first cashdividend to shareholders in the year 2000 and has since paid its ninth consecutive annual dividend from operating profits.Metalore has been active in mining exploration for over sixty-five years and in natural gas development for over fifty years.The co
84、mpany participated in early development of the Provost gas field in Alberta from 1956 through 1961 and was the major playerin developing the Norfolk gas field in Southwestern Ontario since 1964,pioneering advanced completion and fracturing techniques.The Ontario natural gas operations constitute the
85、“core business”of the company as the principal source of revenue.The cash flowfrom production and investments is balanced and allocated between drilling new wells to sustain and/or increase production,fieldingselect mining exploration projects,maintaining capital liquidity and paying dividends to Sh
86、areholders.Management of the Company has also established a record of discovering and outlining precious metal resources(Brookbank,Fox Ear,Cherbourg and Irwin are 43-101 compliant).The majority interests in these resources were sold in 1998 subjectto various participations and future overriding roya
87、lty payments(see“Current Business Strategy Table”hereunder).Current Business StrategyThe Company has further strengthened its financial condition during the past year.Considering the current low price fornatural gas and general economic conditions we have temporarily shut in approximately 50%of our
88、production and reducedexpenditures on exploration and development.One new gas well was completed in December/08 and a second well is nearingcompletion(June/09)on a program that was initiated and announced last year.A very extensive ongoing exploration program is currently under way in the Beardmore
89、area of Ontario whereon Metaloreholds various interests in mining claims covering some thirty miles of strike length along the Brookbank,Fox Ear,Cherbourg and Irwintrends that contain 43-101 compliant gold resources.A recent addition to executive management of Ontex Resources along with aninfusion o
90、f from five to nine million dollars in new financing should hasten the objectives of(1)increasing tonnage and ounces of theknown deposits for feasibility and ultimate production as well as(2)increasing the possibility of making new discoveries.Metalorewill be carefully monitoring and probably partic
91、ipating in some of these programs during the months ahead.Overall PerformanceMetalores natural gas operations yield a stable base income.The Company has consistently located its wells on ultra widespacing patterns to minimize the year to year decline in deliverability and maximize the longevity of p
92、roduction,which is consistentwith the Companys long term production record.Production is being maintained by the systematic drilling of additional wells whenrequired.The Company has consistently obtained“forward”prices for its gas that average higher than current“spot”prices at timeof delivery.The C
93、ompany continues to diligently protect the equity of both its Natural Gas and Mining properties.Brookbank Area Gold Deposits 2.0 g/t Au Cut-off,43-101 CompliantMetaloresInterest1%N.S.R.26%J.V.26%J.V.26%J.V.ZoneNameBROOKBANK1,3CHERBOURG1,4FOXEAR1,4Sub-Total 1IRWIN2,4TOTALIndicatedInferredTonnes1,517,

129、ent expenditures of$795,453 during the fiscal year 2008.The expenditures were mainlycomprised of natural gas development.ii)Management Discussion&Analysis of Fourth QuarterThe operating profit in the fourth quarter is mostly the result of advantageous contracts for the sale of naturalgas at prices a
130、bove the prevailing market price at the time of delivery,as well as greater efficiencies applied in gasfield management.The 2009 investment income was up compared to prior years due to the continued acquisition ofhigh yielding marketable securities.Operating expenses decreased compared to 2008 partl
131、y due to managementcutbacks in expenses in preparation for a lean year in fiscal 2010.Accretion expense is dealt with in item 10 of thefinancial statement notes.As a result of factors described in the preceding paragraph,cash flow from operations was strong compared to2008.Changes in working capital
132、 are quarter by quarter changes in accounts receivable,inventories and accountspayable and represented nothing out of the ordinary.Working capital increased in the quarter.Internal Control Over Financial ReportingThe current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer are responsible
133、 for establishing andmaintaining internal control over financial reporting for the Company and have designed such controls to providereasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements forexternal purposes in accordance with GAAP.It shoul
134、d be noted that,while the Companys current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief FinancialOfficer believe that the Companys internal controls over financial reporting provide a reasonable level of assurancethat they are effective,they do not expect that the Companys internal control over financi
135、al reporting will prevent allerrors and fraud.A control system,no matter how well conceived or operated,can provide only reasonable,notabsolute,assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.Forward Strip ContractsAs of June 26,2009,Metalore has only two forward strip contracts in place

138、 its financial statements in conformity with generallyaccepted accounting principles.These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and reported amounts of net income during the reporting period.The critical accountingestimates made by th
139、e 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 Property CostsThe full cost method of accounting is used whereby acquisition and development cost relating
140、 to theseproperties are capitalized.These costs are depleted by the unit of production method based on estimated provendrilled gas reserves.The ratio of production to proven reserves before royalties determines the proportion ofdepletable costs to be expensed.The natural gas reserves of the company
141、are assessed annually by an independentengineer,as verified by the annual filing of National Instrument Form 51-101 with SEDAR.Total capitalized costs netof accumulated and future income taxes is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue form provenreserves at year end and costs
142、,less future cash flows are based on the NYMEX Henry Hub prices adjusted by$1.32per mmbtu to allow for actual prices received near Dawn,Ontario.Forecast prices used for the next five years arelisted in note 1 of the notes to the financial statements.The significance to the financial statements of th
143、e estimate of depletion of natural gas properties is that ithistorically accounts for twenty percent of total expenses before income taxes.The sensitivity of this estimate is suchthat an error of ten percent in its calculation would therefore affect total pre-tax expenses by two percent.The company
144、performs an impairment test annually to determine the recoverability of capitalized costsassociated with reserves of natural gas.Should the amount of the capitalized costs exceed the amount of thereserves,the resulting impairment loss will be recognized in earnings.The amount of the impairment loss
145、isdetermined by making assumptions about future reserves,the price of natural gas and future costs all of which aresubject to uncertainty.By their nature,these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes to theseestimates may have a material impact on the financial statements of fut
146、ure years.For example the table of futureestimated gas prices reported in note 2 to the financial statements for 2009 are approximately double the market pricecurrently prevailing.The Company has no control over the continental market price of natural gas.ii.Mining Property CostsAcquisition and expl
147、oration costs are capitalized.Disposals of mining property and equipment are offsetagainst the acquisition costs.If exploration activities are followed by production,capitalized costs will be amortizedusing the unit of production method based on the estimated reserves in the area.Mining properties a
148、re assessedannually of as economic events dictate,for potential write down.If exploration activities are unsuccessful includingand the area is abandoned,all capitalized costs are written off,as has been the case for some properties this year 2009.The significance to the financial statements of accou
149、nting 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.Thesensitivity of the balance sheet data to carrying an abandoned asset depends on the historical cost of the asset.Therisks i
150、nvolved in exploration for minerals have been discussed already in an earlier paragraph.1Note:Contractual Obligations are estimates based upon expected gas production.Contractual Obligations1Report for the upcoming five yearsShareholder Dividend PolicyIn the year 2000,Metalore introduced a policy to
151、 pay annual dividends to shareholders(subject to applicablelaw).On December 15,2008 the Company paid its ninth consecutive annual dividend to Shareholders of record onNovember 30,2008;this payment was for$0.07 per share.The dividend is converted to US currency for a significant percentage of shareho
152、lders registered with United Statespostal addresses.Outstanding Share DataThe Company has 1,775,035 common shares issued(1,780,035 fully diluted,see Notes 7 and 8 to thefinancial statements).Regulation ComplianceMetalore has complied with all filing requirements pursuant to National Instrument 51-10

156、r liability and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculatefuture income tax liabilities or assets.Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using the substantivelyenacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect in the periods that the temporary differenc
157、es are expectedto reverse.The effect of changes in rates is included in earnings in the period which includes the substantiveenactment.The significance of the calculation of future income taxes to the financial statements is that it can be as muchas thirty percent of pre-tax net income.Differences i
158、n the estimate of future income taxes can have a significant effecton the calculation of net income after taxes,as was the case in 2007 and 2008.On the balance sheet,future incometaxes account for approximately seventeen per cent of total liabilities and equity.The sensitivity of this estimate is sm
159、all because historically the Company has paid only Federal corporateminimum taxes.The Income Tax Act of Canada provides for deductions of exploration and development expensesthat can be applied against current income before income tax becomes applicable.The Company has accumulatedsufficient deductio
160、ns of exploration and development expenses to delay payment of future income taxes until manyyears into the future.Every year that wells are drilled and developed and/or mining exploration is conducted,thistimeline is pushed still further into the future.It should be noted that the“real time”net pro
161、fit per share is actually higherthan systematically recorded on the financial statements because of the anachronism of“future income tax”.Transactions with Related PartiesMetalore has an on-going agreement with Southern Ontario Natural Gas Limited(SONG),a private companycontrolled by the Company Pre
162、sident,George W.Chilian,to provide highly technical services for gas well completionsand production.Details are included in note 6 of the March 31/09 Financial Statements.International Financial Reporting StandardsIn February 2008,the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accou
163、ntable enterpriseswill be required to adopt IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,2011,with early adoption permitted.Accordingly,the conversion to IFRS will be applicable to the Companys reporting no later than in the quarter endingJune 30,2011,with restatement of comparative informa
164、tion presented.The conversion to IFRS will impact theCompanys accounting policies,information technology and data systems,internal control over financial reporting,anddisclosure controls and procedures.Disclosure Controls and ProceduresDisclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure
165、that information required to be disclosedby the Company is accumulated and communicated by management as appropriate to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure.The Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance thatmaterial information related to the Company is
166、made known to current management.It should be noted that,while the Companys current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief FinancialOfficer believe that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance thatthey are effective,they do not expect that the Compa
167、nys disclosure controls and procedures or internal control overfinancial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.A control system,no matter how well conceived or operated,canprovide only reasonable,not absolute,assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.Risk and UncertaintiesMin
168、ing exploration risksThe business of exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk.Few properties that are explored areultimately developed into producing mines.Hydrocarbon risksThe hunt and development of conventional non-renewable hydrocarbons is vulnerable to price variations,dryholes a
169、nd ultimately depleted reservoirs.Commodity PricesEven if Metalores exploration programs are successful,factors beyond the control of the Company mayaffect the marketability of any resources discovered.Commodity prices(both natural gas and minerals)havehistorically fluctuated,and are affected by fac
170、tors beyond the control of the company.Inflation,international economicand political trends,currency fluctuations,interest rates and worldwide production levels all have a bearing oncommodity prices.The effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted.The Company partially mitigates theprice r
171、isk factor by selling most of its gas production at least several months ahead with forward strip contracts.15Metalore Resources LimitedYearMonthHIGH:LOW:2008 May20.7116.75June20.0016.78July16.0014.00August14.0513.31September13.458.50October8.296.00November7.004.25December7.304.002009 January8.757.3
