NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
1. Basis of presentation
Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements
As of July 31, 2008, the Company has
changed its name from Utah Uranium Corp. to Universal Potash Corp. There was no
change in share capital and no consolidation of shares associated with this name
change. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. They may not include all information and footnotes
required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited
financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial
statements included in the Form 10-KSB as at March 31, 2008. In the opinion of
Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation,
consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating
results for the period ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2009.
Going Concern
These financial statements do not give
effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at
amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial
statements.
The Company has not generated any operating
revenues to date. The Company does not have adequate funds to cover
overhead expenses for the next year and is in the process of raising additional
financing to fund exploration activities on its recently acquired mineral
properties.
2. Marketable Securities
The Company received 100,000 common shares
of Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. (Abaddon) in fiscal year 2008. Abaddon
is a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) (Note 3 (a)).
The marketable securities had a cost base of $25,000 and an associated
unrealized loss of $7,000, recorded in other comprehensive loss at March 31,
2008. A $2,000 unrealized gain was recognized at June 30, 2008. The net
unrealized loss recorded in other comprehensive loss is $5,000 as of June 30,
2008.

$25,074 in mineral property exploration costs. The Company is obligated to
expend $300,000 as work commitment on the claims by June 1, 2009.
The Pinto Claims are subject to a royalty payable of 4% on uranium
and 2% on vanadium. The Company has the right to purchase 2% of the uranium
royalty for $3,000,000.
On November 1, 2007 the
Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the Pinto JV Agreement) with
Abaddon in regards to the Pinto Claims. Under the terms of the Pinto JV
Agreement, Abaddon can earn its 60% interest in the Pinto Claims in exchange for
a one-time payment to the Company of $100,000 (received) on January 3, 2008 (the
Approval Date) (the date upon which Abaddon received approval from the TSX-V
for the Pinto JV Agreement), the assumption of 60% of the Companys $400,000
remaining cash obligation and the issuance of shares of common stocks of Abaddon
as follows:
-
100,000 common shares
to be issued on the Approval Date (issued) (Note 3);
-
180,000 common shares
to be issued before June 1, 2008 (outstanding); and
-
240,000 common shares
to be issued before June 1, 2009,
Abaddon is also
responsible to complete a work commitment of exploration expenditures on the
Pinto Claims of $305,000 before December 31, 2007 and an additional $300,000
before June 1, 2008. Abaddons work commitments have not been fulfilled. The
Company is currently in negotiations with Abaddon to settle the outstanding
commitments under the Pinto JV Agreement.
As at June 30, 2008, an
amount of $13,163 is receivable from Abaddon regarding work commitment
expenditures. This balance has been recorded in exploration advances.
The Pinto Claims Agreement was amended whereby the Companys
outstanding obligations include:
-
$350,000 cash to be
paid by June 1, 2009,
-
$400,000 cash to be
paid by June 1, 2010,
-
300,000 shares of
common stock to be issued by June 1, 2009; and

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Business Overview
We are a natural resource exploration and development
company engaged in the exploration and development of properties that may
contain uranium minerals in the United States. Recently, we also acquired
several potash claims in Alberta, Canada. Our strategy is to acquire
properties that are thought to contain economic quantities of either uranium or
potash. To date, we have acquired 7,120 acres of mineral claims located in
Colorado and Utah, which we intend to explore for economic deposits of uranium.
We have also acquired interests in 201,216 hectares of mineral agreements
located in the Province of Alberta, which we intend to explore for economic
deposits of potash.
The Company is following a business plan that calls for
Company representatives to research, negotiate and obtain highly prospective
uranium or potash properties, following which the Company intends to enter into
Joint Venture agreements to see the properties developed at a minimal cash cost
to the Company.
Our principal mineral property is the Ernestina Potash
project, located in Alberta, and consisting of 201,216 hectares. We plan
to use our exploration data to target additional exploration properties for
acquisition. Going forward in the 2009 financial year, we have plans to
acquire further acres of mineral properties consisting of claim blocks located
in, but not limited to, the western Canada and the United States, which include
the states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, with our primary focus in
Utah and Colorado. Our ability to complete these acquisitions will be
subject to our obtaining sufficient financing and our being able to conclude
agreements with the property owners on terms acceptable to us. These
potential property acquisitions have not yet been specifically identified.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company has acquired interests
in seven mineral properties, summarized in the table below:

Subsequent Events:
The Company has been attempting to permit two drilling
operations, on the Wild and the Pinto projects in Utah, since January, 2008.
The two drill programs are being financed through joint venture agreements
with Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. ("Consolidated Abaddon").
To date, the Company has not been successful in obtaining those
permits due to a variety of delaying factors in dealing with the Bureau of Land
Management. Work has been ongoing in this respect, but the Company has
recently received notice from Consolidated Abaddon that due to the lengthy
nature of these delays, they no longer wish to proceed with these drill
programs. The Company has yet to decide if it will continue with the
application process in anticipation of entering into further joint ventures to
perform the actual drilling programs.
The Company has also received an extension agreement with
Ted Murer regarding the Pinto claims, whereby property payments that were due to
Mr. Murer in June, 2008 (and subsequent payments that followed) have all been
deferred for a period of one year.
The Company has filed two applications with the Bureau of
Land Management for certain grounds located near Moab, Utah. The nature of
the applications is firstly for potash leases, on ground that is classified as
Known Potash Leasing Areas, which will result in those lands being subject to
an auction process which the Company fully intends to participate in. The
Bureau of Land Management does not know the specific date that the auction will
be held, but have the Company listed as a participant to received advance notice
of the date, once established. The Company has also applied for Potash
Prospecting Permits in an area just outside the Known Potash Leasing Areas.
These permits are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the
Company has been advised that the processing of those permits should be complete
in late summer, early fall, 2008. The Company also applied for potash
leases on grounds north of Moab controlled by the State of Utah, School and
Administrative Trusts Branch. The specific grounds are currently the
subject of an oil/gas exploratory lease, and as such, the existing lease takes
precedent. The specific leaseholders in this situation have been contacted
by the State of Utah and have formally requested they be allowed to continue
their exploratory work until the spring of 2009. At that time, if the
oil/gas exploratory permit is not renewed, then an auction will be held to allow
the granting of potash lease permits. The State of Utah, School and
Administrative Trusts Branch, has on record our application, and will notify the
Company in the event an auction is to be held.
On July 3, 2008, we issued 100,000 common shares in total
to the David A. Lacy and Michael B. Lacy (50,000 common shares each), the
Optionors on the Whale Property. Also on July 3, 2008, we issued 100,000
common shares to Bob Shupe, the Optionor on the Hoopie Property.
On July 31, 2008, we changed our name to Universal Potash
Corp., to better reflect our additional focus. Our new trading symbol is
"UPCO".
Cash Requirements
We are a start-up exploration company and must raise cash
to implement our business plan. The Company is in the process of acquiring
and evaluating mineral properties, therefore our cash requirements over the next
twelve months depend to a certain degree on acquisition opportunities, as well
as discoveries on our properties. The net of joint venture payment
requirements for properties that have been acquired as of June 30, 2008, for the
next twelve months is $605,000.
The Company is considering a private placement for
September, 2008, in order to augment the current cash balance. By
implementing a private placement as such, we would be in a better position to
enhance the property portfolio through additional acquisitions. In light
of prices for the Uranium, the Company has negotiated with several property
vendors to reduce or defer cash requirements looking forward. The Company
is attempting to negotiate buy-outs of some of the Uranium properties, with the
aim to complete the acquisitions of those assets deemed valuable enough to
warrant keeping, while reducing future cash property payments through the
issuance of shares.
The Company continues to maintain an office in Moab,
Utah, for which monthly rent is $2,000 and operating expenses amount to less
than $200 per month. The office is not permanently staffed at this time.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to make any significant equipment
purchases over the next twelve months, other than spectrometers and office
furnishings and computers.
Employees
Currently our only employees are our directors and
officers. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees
over the next twelve months. We do and will continue to outsource contract
employment as needed.

4T. Controls and Procedures.
The management of the Company is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of June 30, 2008, management assessed the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based
on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting
established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on
conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that,
during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures
were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as
more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the
design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that
adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be
material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures
that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) insufficient
written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with
respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure
and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified
by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our
financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our
management.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set
forth in items (1), (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on the Company's
financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization.
As part of this commitment, we will i) create a position to segregate duties
consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and
technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are
available to the Company ii) preparing and
implement sufficient written policies and checklists
which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with
respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements.
Management believes that preparing and implementing
sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material
weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and
financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP
and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end
financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the
hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge
will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances
within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training
needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the
department occur.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls
over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further
action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary
and as funds allow. This annual report does not include an attestation report of
the Company's registered accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting.
Management's report is not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management is not aware of any legal proceedings

an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not
aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened
against us or our properties.
