AUDITORS’ REPORT

 
To the Shareholders of
Wealth Minerals Ltd.
(Formerly Triband Enterprise Corp.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Wealth Minerals Ltd. (formerly Triband Enterprise Corp.) as at November 30, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated statements of operations and cumulative loss, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for each of the years in the three year period ended November 30, 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations and cumulative loss and cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation on October 7, 1994 to November 30, 2004. These consolidated financial statements, expressed in Canadian dollars, are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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. Those standards require that we plan 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 statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at November 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and cumulative loss, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the years in the three year period ended November 30, 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations and cumulative loss and cash flows for the period from the date of incorporation on October 7, 1994 to November 30, 2004, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected results of operations and shareholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2004, to the extent summarized in Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.

The cumulative amounts from the date of incorporation on October 7, 1994 to November 30, 2000 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on these financial statements in their report dated March 30, 2001.

WEALTH MINERALS LTD.
(Formerly Triband Enterprise Corp.)
 
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)


1.  
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties.

 
On January 14, 2004 the Company changed its name to Wealth Minerals Ltd. from Triband Enterprise Corp. and consolidated its capital stock, warrants and options on a basis of four old shares for one new share. All share, warrant, option and per unit data included in these financial statements have been adjusted to retroactively reflect this consolidation.

 
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
2.  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of estimates

 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounts specifically requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values are receivables, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party, due to affiliated company and future income taxes.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Triband Resource US Inc. (incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A.). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in bank accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Restricted cash
 
Under the terms of MasterCard’s corporate credit policy, the Company is required to pledge a defined amount of term deposit to the financial institution as collateral. This deposit is interest bearing and refundable upon cancellation of the credit cards.
 
Financial instruments
 
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. Unless otherwise noted, it is Management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d...)

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs will be capitalized on properties when proven and provable reserves are defined. No mineral resource estimates have been defined on any Company property interests to date. Mineral property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid.  

 
Exploration and development costs

 
The Company has adopted the policy of expensing exploration and development costs as incurred. The Company will expense future exploration and development costs until such time as the existence of proven and probable reserves is determined, or sufficient objective evidence in the opinion of Management to support the recognition of an asset. Option payments receivable by the Company would be credited against mineral property exploration costs when received.

 
Property evaluations

 
The Company reviews and evaluates the carrying amounts of its mineral properties when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the net recoverable amount is significantly less than the carrying value and the impairment in value is likely to be permanent, a reduction in the carrying amount of mineral properties with a corresponding charge to operation are recorded.

Cost of maintaining mineral properties

 
The Company does not accrue the estimated future costs of maintaining its mineral properties in good standing.

 
 Environmental protection and reclamation costs

 
The operations of the Company have been, and may be in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restorations costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.

 
The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against statements of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because all property holdings are at early stages of exploration. Therefore, estimated future removal and site restoration costs are presently considered minimal.
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:

Computer equipment
30% declining balance basis
Office furniture and equipment
20% declining balance basis

Investments

 
The Company’s long-term investments are accounted for on the cost basis. The investments will be written-down to their estimated net realizable value when there is evidence of a decline in value below carried cost that is other than temporary.

 
Foreign exchange

Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at that date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of exchange. Gains and losses arising from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each year-end are included in statements of operations. 

Capital stock

 
The proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants and escrow shares are credited to capital stock in the amount for which the option, warrant or escrow share enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company.
 
Basic and diluted loss per share
 
The Company uses the "treasury stock method" in computing loss per share. Under this method, basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted net loss per common share when the effect would be anti- dilutive.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company has a stock option plan as described in Note 9. The Company uses the accounting recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3870, "Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments". For the 2004 fiscal year, the Company began recording compensation cost on the granting of stock options to employees and directors that are not direct awards of stock or stock appreciation rights and in accordance with this policy will provide certain pro-forma disclosure as required by the fair value method of accounting for stock options. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant. Any consideration received on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock. The adoption of the new standard results in expense recognition for options granted after November 30, 2003.

Income taxes
 
Future income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled.

The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment or substantive enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it to be more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

Segmented Information

The Company follows CICA Handbook Section 1701, “Segment Disclosures” about operating segments in financial statements, as well as additional disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of minerals is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser, including delivery of the product, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Settlement adjustments, if any, are reflected in revenue when the amounts are known.
 
Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have been placed with a major Canadian chartered bank.
 
3.  
DUE FROM (TO) RELATED PARTIES

Amounts due from (to) directors, officers, companies they control, and companies with common directors and/or officers are unsecured, without interest or fixed terms of repayment (see Note 10).

MINERAL PROPERTIES
 
Amata Project, Peru
 
The Company acquired a 100% interest in Minera Koripampa’s (a private Peruvian company) 70% interest in the Amata Project in Southern Peru, for initial consideration of 200,000 common shares (issued at a fair value of $1.22 per share), US$100,000 on closing (paid), the issuance of 200,000 common shares one year after closing, work expenditures of US$200,000 and US$500,000 in the first two years respectively, and escalating cash payments of US$3.9 million over a four-year period. (see Note 7).
 
BET claims, Nevada, USA
 
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary holds title to twenty-three unpatented mining claims, referred to as the BET 1-23 Claims, located in Whisky Canyon, Lander County, Nevada. To earn and maintain 100% interest in the BET 1-23 claims, the Company is required to pay annual fees of US$8.50 per claim plus total maintenance fees of US$2,875 per year. The claims are continuing to be maintained by the Company.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary was also party to a 2003 agreement to acquire two claims, referred to as the Betty O’Neal claims, bordering the BET 1-23 claims. On July 9, 2004, a US$25,000 option payment due in respect of the Betty O’Neal claims was not paid and the Company dropped its intent to acquire an interest in them.

Title to mineral properties

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.

During the year ended November 30, 1999, the Company acquired 240,000 common shares of Puresource, Inc. (“Puresource”), a private company incorporated in the State of Washington, United States for $146,450. The investment is accounted for using the cost basis.

 
Effective August 19, 1999, Puresource sold all of its assets to Clearant, Inc. (“Clearant”), a private company incorporated April 30, 1999 in the State of California, United States. As consideration, Puresource was issued 3,000,000 shares of Clearant with a fair value of $2,837,650 (US$1,900,000) or $0.95 (US$0.63) per share determined by an independent valuation at date of closing and promissory notes convertible into common shares at the discretion of Clearant totaling $1,642,850 (US$1,100,000). Upon completion of the sale, the shareholders of Puresource resolved to wind up the corporation.

 
In October 2000, the Company received a distribution of assets from Puresource consisting of 29,015 Clearant shares. The distribution of assets by Puresource to its shareholders is considered a non-monetary non-reciprocal transfer and is accounted for on the basis of the recorded value of the resources transferred. As such, the 29,015 Clearant shares were recorded by the Company at $0.95 per share for a total value of $27,564. In October 2003, the Company received another 1,979 Clearant shares representing the Company’s proportionate interest in the remaining promissory notes. The Company now holds 30,994 common shares of Clearant. The promissory notes receivable were not originally recorded by the Company, and the resulting distribution of shares in lieu of those receivables has nominal value.

 
Clearant is a private company with no active market for its shares and has sustained significant operating losses in prior years. Due to uncertainty as to the value of the shares and a lack of current information from Clearant, the Company has determined that the investment in Clearant has experienced a permanent impairment and has written down its investment to a nominal value of $1.

 
The investment in shares of Puresource was written down in the 2000 fiscal year by $146,449 to a nominal value of $1. Following the second distribution of shares noted above, Puresource was wound up and the balance of the investment was written off.

If the common shares trade above $1.50 per share on the TSX Venture Exchange for a period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to the expiry of the warrants and after the initial four month hold period has expired, the Company has the right to force the exercise of the warrants.
 
In September, 2004, the Company completed a private placement consisting of 1,306,250 units at a price of $0.80 per unit, for total proceeds of $1,045,000.

STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Under its existing accounting policy for stock options, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of options granted on or after November 30, 2003, and provides certain pro-forma disclosure for the fair value of options granted up to November 30, 2003. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation and disclosures, the following assumptions were used:

The Company, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, is authorized to grant options to directors, employees and consultants, up to 10% of issued and outstanding common stock. The exercise price of each option is not less than the average market price of the Company’s stock as calculated over the ten trading days preceding the date of grant, and may also be set at a higher price. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years. The consolidation of the Company’s outstanding options on a one new for every four old basis on January 14, 2004, and the repricing of all consolidated options to $0.25 per share on February 24, 2004, have been applied on a retroactive basis.
 
Stock-based compensation of $20,160 from the January 2004 grant to directors and officers of 120,000 options exercisable at $0.25 per share, and $529,200 from the September 2004 grant to directors and officers of 900,000 options exercisable at $0.70 per share, was calculated by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The amount is charged against income in the period granted, with the corresponding credit to contributed surplus. Upon exercise, a proportionate amount is credited to capital stock.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

a)
The Company has entered into a month to month office lease arrangement with no annual lease commitments.

 
b)
On September 17, 2004, the Company entered into a contract with the President of the Company, at a rate of $108,000 per annum, subject to a six month review by the Board. The President is entitled to 200,000 stock options with an option price of $0.70 expiring September 29, 2006 whereby 50,000 will vest after six months, and the balance will vest over the ensuing six month period. At the six month anniversary review, either the Board or the President can elect to terminate the contract with a payment of one year’s salary as severance.

 
c)
On September 24, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Corporate Development Associates, a private US investor relations company, to perform marketing and promotion services. Included in prepaid expenses is a deposit of US$125,000 (CDN$160,975) for these services. Depending on the scope of services provided, additional payments may be due.

 
d)
All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations. Environmental legislation, in the countries in which the Company performs exploration work, is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and heightened degree of responsibilities for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Presently, compliance with such laws is not a significant factor in the Company’s operations, and there is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
a)
On December 7, 2004 the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with Minera San Jorge S.A. de C.V. (“MSJ”), a Mexican corporation, for an exclusive due diligence period and right of first refusal to acquire a 60% interest in two exploration projects, one in the State of Jalisco, Mexico, and the other in Columbia. Under the letter of intent, the Company can acquire:

i)  
a 60% interest in the Mexican project for a payment to MSJ of US$350,000; and

ii)  
a 60% interest in the Columbian project (referred to as the Sur de Bolivar Projects) for a payment to MSJ of US$250,000 (disclaimed February 28, 2005. See below).

Under the letter of intent, the Company advanced US$150,000 as a refundable acquisition fee to MSJ. If the Company elects to enter into an option agreement for either project, the advance will be applied to the agreement. The advance is secured by a promissory note from MSJ and marketable securities comprised of 250,000 shares of Tumi Resources Ltd. (“Tumi”), a TSX Venture Exchange listed company. As at November 30, 2004 shares of Tumi closed at $0.99, representing a value of $247,500.

 
On February 28, 2005, the Company announced that it had elected to not pursue a property position through MSJ in Columbia. The Company also announced that the secured payment of US$150,000 to guarantee exclusive due diligence and right of first refusal on the projects would remain in escrow, pending a property acquisition decision in Mexico.

b)
On February 7, 2005, 20,000 options were exercised and paid for by a former director at $0.25 per share for total proceeds of $5,000.

c)
On February 28, 2005, the Company announced the signing of a letter agreement with Brett Resources Inc. (“Brett”) for the right to acquire a 60% interest in a 47km2 exploration license in eastern El Salvador covering the surface exposure of a potential low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver vein system. The terms of the letter agreement require both parties to enter into a formal binding agreement. The agreement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and the board of directors. The Company can earn a 60% interest in the property by issuing 100,000 shares, and, over a five year period, paying US$200,000 to Brett and incurring US$2,000,000 on exploration. The amounts are spread out in an escalating fashion over the five year period. On signing the formal agreement, the Company will pay Brett US$20,000 and issue 50,000 common shares. The Company plans to complete a drill program as part of the first year’s US$200,000 work commitment.

d)   
All share subscriptions receivable of $30,375 were received subsequent to year end.

The United States Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB25”). This statement uses the intrinsic value based method whereby compensation cost is recorded for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price over the exercise price, at the date the stock options are granted. As at November 31, 2003, no compensation cost would have been recorded for any period under this method.

 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), issued in October 1995, requires the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock options. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the options granted and is recognized over the exercise period. SFAS 123 allows the Company to continue to measure the compensation cost of employees and directors in accordance with APB 25.

Stock-Based Compensation (cont’d...)

 
Prior to 2004, Canadian generally accepted accounting principles did not require the reporting of any stock based compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of incentive stock options at the grant date. As at November 30, 2004, cumulative compensation expense totaling $882,671 (2003 - $350,111; 2002 - $342,311) has been incurred. Cumulative compensation expense does not include the value of options granted and subsequently forfeited or exercised. In determining the fair value of the incentive stock options, the following assumptions, on a weighted average basis, were used:
       
 
 
2004
2003
2002
       
Risk free interest rate

Income taxes
 
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). SFAS No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the tax rates in effect in the years when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Mineral properties

 
The Company’s policy of expensing acquisition, exploration and development costs except in the case where an outright property interest has been acquired has resulted in an accounting treatment for these costs which the Company considers to be, in substance, congruent with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Trading securities and available-for-sale securities

 
Under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or quoted market value. Long-term investments are recorded at cost and only written down when there is evidence of a decline in value below carried value that is other than temporary. Holding gains are never recognized.

 
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”), unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in statements of operations. Temporary unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from statements of operations and reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized.

 
Comprehensive Income

 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, addresses standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.

 
Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income represents revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 
For the years ended November 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, there were no other items of comprehensive income.

Loss per share

 
SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” simplifies the computation of (loss) per share by replacing the presentation of primary earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share, as defined. The statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share by entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 151 (“SFAS 151”) “Inventory Costs”. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, “to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage)”. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement will be effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (“SFAS 153”) “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. This Statement amended APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception of non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 153 does not have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment”. This Statement requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. The Statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions. The Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The provisions of this Statement will be effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year ending 2007. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 123 (revised 2004) does not have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.
