Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Gryphon Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, and pursuant to instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2007 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be followed by the Company later in the year. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. In management’s opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements are of a normal recurring nature and are reflected in the interim periods included.
Amounts shown for September 30, 2007 are based upon the audited financial statements of that date.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Gryphon Resources, Inc.’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.
The financial statements reflect the following significant accounting policies:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.

Mineral Property Rights Acquisition and Exploration Expenditures
The Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and the Company is reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations, which may include the receipt of a legally binding project approval certificate.
Costs of acquiring mining properties and exploration and development costs are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially minable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.
The Company does not set a predetermined holding period for properties with unproven deposits, however, properties which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted, whether there has been any impairment in value and that their carrying values are appropriate.
If an area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs are charged against operations in the year of abandonment or determination of value. The amounts recorded as mineral leases and claims represent costs to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.
The Company’s exploration activities and proposed mine development are subject to various laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
The accumulated costs of properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by common stock equivalents. At March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents outstanding.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of accounts payable, and other financial instruments reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years during which the differences are expected to reverse and upon the possible realization of net operating loss carry-forwards.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of un-depreciated balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Start-up Costs
The Company has adopted FASB Statement of Position No. 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that all non-governmental entities expense the cost of start-up activities, including organizational costs as those costs are incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 Foreign Currency Translation, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Historical cost balances are re-measured using historical exchange rates. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on these financial statements.
Note 3 - Impairment of Mineral Properties
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company’s new CEO undertook a review of the Company’s existing exploration projects and determined the Company should not proceed with the exploration of three gold property claims in the Province of Saskatchewan. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded and the related mineral property assets were removed from the accounting records of the Company. Although this determination was made subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, management elected to record the effect of the mineral properties impairment in these financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008.
Note 4 Going Concern
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated operating losses since its inception and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of investors and stockholders of the Company. As of March 31, 2008 we project the Company will need additional cash resources to operate during the upcoming 12 months and will raise this capital through shareholder loans from

our President. It is also the belief of management that initiatives planned for the upcoming fiscal year will expand the Company’s investor base. The Company intends to attempt to acquire additional operating capital through private equity offerings to the public and existing investors to fund its business plan. However, there is no assurance that equity or debt offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Note 5 Shareholder Loan
As at March 31, 2008, the Company had one related party shareholder loan outstanding of $42,071 which included $938 of accrued interest. This loan is uncollateralized and has no fixed repayment date.
Note 6 Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company’s new CEO undertook a review of the Company’s existing exploration projects and determined the Company should not proceed with the exploration of three gold property claims in the Province of Saskatchewan. As a result, an impairment charge was recorded and the related mineral property assets were removed from the accounting records of the Company. Although this determination was made subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, management elected to record the effect of the mineral properties impairment in these financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company established a subsidiary in Turkey to pursue mining opportunities. This subsidiary has not yet conducted business and no financial data pertaining to it has been consolidated into these financial statements.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company’s President transferred into the Company’s subsidiary certain mining license rights which have no accounting value at present. No financial data pertaining to this transaction has been incorporated into these financial statements.
