GOING
CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
|
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for
the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net loss of $220,653 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2008 [net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2007 -
$359,725] and as at May 31, 2008 has incurred cumulative losses of $1,195,824
that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management has been able, thus far, to finance the
operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance the Company on
this basis.
In view
of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
is in substantial doubt and dependant upon its ability to generate sufficient
cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional
financing as may be required, to receive the continued support of the Company’s
shareholders, and ultimately to obtain successful operations. These unaudited
consolidated 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.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)

Basis
of Consolidation
|
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Target Energy, Inc. All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
b)
|
Revenue
Recognition
|
The
Company uses the sales method of accounting for natural gas and oil
revenues. Under this method, revenues are recognized upon the passage
of title, net of royalties. Revenues from natural gas production are
recorded using the sales method. When sales volumes exceed the
Company’s entitled share, an overproduced imbalance occurs. To the
extent the overproduced imbalance exceeds the Company’s share

ACCOUNTING POLICIES,

of the
remaining estimated proved natural gas reserves for a given property, the
Company records a liability. At May 31, 2008, the Company had no
overproduced imbalances.
c)
|
Oil
and Gas Properties
|
The
Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and
gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as
leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to unproved
properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs
including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost
pool. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves,
capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and
estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the
units-of-production method using estimates of proved
reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development
projects including capitalized interest, if any, are not amortized until proved
reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the
future exploration of unproved properties are determined uneconomical the amount
of such properties are added to the capitalized cost to be
amortized.
The
capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a “ceiling
test”, which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value,
using a ten percent discount rate of the future net revenues from proved
reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions.
Sales of
proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized
costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the
statement of operations.
Exploration
activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company’s
proportionate interest in such activities.
Cost
related to site restoration programs are accrued over the life of the
project.
d)
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123(revised), "Share-Based Payment", to
account for its stock options and similar equity instruments
issued. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options
or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the
grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period. SFAS No.
123(revised) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow
rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 ("SFAS 161"),
"Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 161
requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that
should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses
derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and
cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An
amendment of ARB No. 51”.SFAS 160 requires companies with noncontrolling
interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate
from the parent’s equity. The noncontrolling interest’s portion of
net income must also be clearly presented on the Income
Statement. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial
position or results of operations.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
141,(revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (R) applies the
acquisition method of accounting for business combinations established in SFAS
141 to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest,
regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. Consistent with
SFAS 141, SFAS 141 (R) requires the acquirer to fair value the assets and
liabilities of the acquiree and record goodwill on bargain purchases, with main
difference the application to all acquisitions where control is
achieved. SFAS 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of
this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future
financial position or results of operations
The FASB
has additionally issued SFAS No. 155 to SFAS No. 159 and FIN No. 48 but they
will not have any relationship to the current operations of the
Company. Therefore, a description and its impact on the Company’s
operations and financial position for each have not been disclosed.

LONG
TERM INVESTMENT
|
On April
21, 2008, the Company purchased 900,000 shares for $45,000 in Pro Eco Energy USA
Ltd. (“Pro Eco Energy”) which represented 8.25% ownership. The
Chairman of the Company is a Director in Pro Eco Energy which established the
existence of significant influence in Pro Eco Energy and accordingly the equity
method of accounting is adopted for the investment.
As at May
31, 2008, the Pro Eco Energy’s financial information was not readily available
and the Company’s percentage of earning and loss in Pro Eco Energy was not
determinable under the equity method of accounting. Management of the
Company has determined that the possible impact on the Company’s quarter
financial statements is immaterial. As the result, the Company’s
investment was recorded at cost as at May 31, 2008.

EVENTS
On June
11, 2008 the Company was successful in acquiring two land parcels of 160 acres
each in the Glen Park area of central Alberta, Canada. These 320 acres are
believed to be prospective for reef development and the potential accumulation
of oil deposits. Productive wells in the area have had production rates in
excess of 200 bop/d and in some cases with little associated water. We currently
have a 100% interest in these two prospects. The company continues to evaluate
other opportunities in this and other areas.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Historical
results and trends should not be taken as indicative of future operations.
Management's statements contained in this report that are not historical facts
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended. Actual results may differ
materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The Company
intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of
complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which
are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and
expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the
words "believe,""expect,""intend,""anticipate,""estimate,""project,""prospects,"
or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which
could have a material adverse affect on the operations and future prospects of
the Company on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to:
unanticipated problems relating to exploration, hazards such as pollution, or
other hazards which cannot be insured against or predicted, changes in economic
conditions, availability of capital, competition, and generally accepted
accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in
evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on
such statements. Further information concerning the Company and its business,
including additional factors that could materially affect the Company's
financial results, is included herein and in the Company's other filings with
the SEC.
Management's
Discussion and Analysis
Golden
Aria is an energy company with two separately focused divisions: the first is
exploring and developing conventional oil and gas properties while the second is
examining and developing opportunities in the alternative energy sector.
Management has made progress in both areas of business.
Strains
on the conventional energy supply chain have contributed to higher energy prices
and changing consumer habits. In the short term, management believes that its
interests in, and continued development of, opportunities in conventional oil
and gas have a high probability of building shareholder value. These
opportunities and others that the Company is evaluating from time to time,
should provide good opportunities for growth.
Additional
scaleable medium and long term economic benefits to shareholders are available
through our alternative energy initiatives, that also could act as a hedge
against the volatility of wildly fluctuating energy prices
The
following disclosure relates to each property that we have an interest
in:
The Wordsworth light oil
project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada
The
Wordsworth property has one producing oil well which was drilled in May, 2006,
and in which Golden Aria has a 3.75% net interest. This is a
horizontal well called the Wordsworth East HZ 2A2-23/3A11-14-7-3 W2, and was
considered a new pool discovery. A second well on this property, the Wordsworth
E. HZ 3B9-23/3A11-23-7-3 W2 located on the north side of the Wordsworth prospect
area, was deemed not commercially viable as a producing oil well. However, after
additional seismic was completed on this project the partners have agreed that a
new horizontal well will be drilled and it is anticipated this could result in a
new producing oil well before the end of 2008.
The Queensdale West light
oil project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada
The
Queensdale West property has two producing oil wells. Golden Aria has an 15.00%
Gross Interest before payout (BPO) and 7.5% net interest after payout in the
Queensdale West 1A9-25/4A2-25-6-2 W2 and an 8.00% Gross Interest before payout
(BPO) and 4% net interest after payout in the Queensdale West HZ 4A9-25 /
3A15-25-6-2 W2.
The Coteau Lake light oil
exploration project, South Eastern Saskatchewan, Canada
Coteau
Lake is an exploration property and we have no producing oil or gas wells on
this property at this time. Coteau Lake covers 1,280 acres of land. Golden
Aria’s gross and net interest in this project is 50%. There has been historic
oil production on the Coteau Lake project lands. Our internal
geological and geophysical work to date indicates our lands could be prospective
for oil & gas accumulations to have taken place. Our current focus on this
project is the defining of our first exploration well location.
The Glen Park light oil
exploration prospect, Central Alberta, Canada
Glen Park
prospect covers 160 acres that is believed to be prospective for reef
development and the potential accumulation of oil deposits. Productive wells in
the area have production rates in excess of 200 bop/d and in some cases with
little associated water. We currently have a 50% interest in the Glen Park
prospect and are actively looking at other prospects in the area..
Golden
Aria expects to evaluate additional properties on an ongoing basis and will
acquire interests when believed to be in the company interest.
Equity Investment in Pro Eco
Energy, Inc.
On April
21, 2008 the company announced that it had made an equity investment in to Pro
Eco Energy, Inc a clean tech energy enterprise in engineering, developing and
installing solar energy solutions to commercial and residential customers. We
also welcomed the President of Pro Eco Energy, Mr.Roger
Huber, as the first member of our Clean Tech Advisory board. Mr.
Huber has a long career in optimizing energy solutions and his knowledge and
wide industry contacts are expected to help us develop our alternative energy
solutions.

Snyder Electric.
On June
5, 2008 Mr. Mark Snyder, a long time clean energy expert in California, also
joined our Clean Tech Advisory board. Mr. Snyder is an expert in alternative
energy systems. Mr. Snyder’s focus is on complete “net zero” home solutions –
homes that generate through alternative energy systems such as solar thermal,
solar PV or other, as much energy as they consume.

specifically amounted to $45,158 for the nine-month period ending May 31,
2008.

Fees
paid to a consultant. In the nine month period ended May31, 2008, the
Company incurred $129,085 (May 31, 2007: $136,039); of which $97,571 was
related to the stock option plan.

Legal
and professional fees. In the nine month period ended May 31, 2008, the
Company incurred $32,608 (May 31, 2007: $16,628); the increase was caused
by cots relating to the acquisition of Target Energy
Inc.

Office
and Miscellaneous. In the nine month period ended May 31, 2008,
the Company incurred $14,697 (February 28, 2007:($4,051)) relating to
exchange losses on translation of foreign
currency.

We
incurred general and administrative expenses in the amount of $271,505 for the
nine-months ended May 31, 2008 compared to $317,769 for the same nine-month
period ended in the prior year. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses occurred due to the exploration and option payment in the prior
year.
The loss
for the period ended May 31, 2008 was $220,653 compared to a loss of $359,725
for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in loss
was caused by an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an
increase in revenue and no exploration costs and option payment.
Assets
As at May
31, 2008, we had current assets of $336,981 and total assets of $4,009,576. We
had total assets of $520,097 as of August 31, 2007. The increase in our total
assets is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Target Energy Inc., which
occurred on November 30, 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As at May
31, 2008, we had total current assets of $336,981 (August 31,
2007: $316,439) and total assets in the amount of $4,009,576 (August
31, 2007: $520,097). Our total current liabilities at May 31, 2008
were $166,926 (August 31, 2007: $222,934). As a result, on May 31,
2008 we had working capital of $170,055 (August 31, 2007: $93,505).
The increase in working capital was caused by the acquisition of Target Energy
Inc.
We relied
on cash on hand previously raised through the issue of equity capital to fund
our operations during the nine months ended May 31, 2008.
The
company generates some revenue. However, we still anticipate the need to raise
significant capital through the sale of equity securities on a private or public
basis in order to sustain operations, meet our commitments for exploration and
to acquire additional oil and gas properties. It is uncertain whether we will be
able to obtain the necessary capital.
We intend
to fund operations and commitments over the next twelve months from our cash on
hand, including our capital expenditures, working capital or other cash
requirements. We believe cash from operating activities, and our existing cash
resources may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the
next 12 months. We will likely require additional funds to support the Company’s
business plan. Management intends to raise additional working capital
through debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds
are not available, we may be unable to take advantage of future opportunities,
respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail
operations.
Natural
Gas and Oil Properties
We
account for our oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of
accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition of
properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas
reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of
abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are
capitalized. All general corporate costs are expensed as
incurred. In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas
properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain
or loss recorded. Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is
computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a
country-by-country basis. Unevaluated oil and gas properties are
assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate
basis. The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties
(full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future
net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or
estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax
considerations. These properties are included in the amortization
pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.
Unproved
properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on well currently being
drilled on the properties. The recorded costs of the investment in
unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the
projects can be determined or until they are impaired.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded
when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to
the customers. Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk
refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker
lifting has occurred. Revenues from the production of oil and natural
gas properties in which we share an undivided interest with other producers are
recognized based on the actual volumes sold by us during the
period. Gas imbalances occur when our actual sales differ from its
entitlement under existing working interests. We record a liability
for gas imbalances when we have sold more than our working interest of gas
production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the
partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At May 31, 2008,
we had no overproduced imbalances.
Item
3. Controls and
Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of May 31, 2008. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our President (Principal
Executive Officer) Robert McAllister, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chris Bunka.
Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Executive
Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 that
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such
controls.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
Principal Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the
Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and
material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of
any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
