AN
EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY
NOTES
TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY
31, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Mar Ked Mineral
Exploration, Inc. (“Mar Ked”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained
in
the Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the
financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure
contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year
2007 as reported in Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other
things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. As shown in the accompanying interim financial statements,
the Company incurred a new loss of $4,165 and $5,365 for the three months and
six months ending May 31, 2008 and has a deficit accumulated during the
exploration stage of $98,591 as of May 31, 2008. However, Mar Ked has no current
source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would be
unlikely for Mar Ked to continue as a going concern. Mar Ked’s management plans
on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed
basis and in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition, exploration and
development of mineral interests, if found. Mar Ked’s ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and ultimately,
upon achieving profitable operations through the development of mineral
interests.
NOTE
3 - COMMON SHARES
On
August
24, 2006, Mar Ked issued 5,000,000 common shares valued at $.001 per share
for
gross proceeds of $ 5,000.
On
October 28, 2006, Mar Ked issued 5,000,000 common shares valued at $.01 per
share for gross proceeds of $ 50,000.
On
October 28, 2006, Mar Ked issued 500,000 common shares valued at $.02 per share
for gross proceeds of $ 10,000.
7
On
October 30, 2006, Mar Ked issued 400,000 common shares valued at $ .05 per
share
for gross proceeds of $ 20,000.
NOTE
4 - MINERAL PROPERTY EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
(a)
On
November 1, 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a
100%
interest in fifty-eight (58) mineral claims that make up the RB Property located
in the Finlayson Lake area in the Yukon Territories in Canada. The costs
incurred to date are summarized as follows:
Acquisition
costs $ 7,000
In
order
to earn this 100% interest, subject to a 3% Net Smelter Return royalty, Mar
Ked
must make cash payments totaling $ 400,000 and incur minimum work expenditures
of $ 875,000 ( or CDN $ 1,000,000) as follows:
a)
|
$
3,500 paid within ten business days of signing the agreement (
paid);
|
b)
|
3,500
paid within thirty business days of the Company becoming free trading
on
the OTCBB (paid);
|
c)
|
$
13,000 paid on the first anniversary date of the agreement and minimum
work expenditures of $ 43,775 (or CDN $ 50,000) spent before the
first
anniversary date;
|
d)
|
$
20,000 paid on the second anniversary date of the agreement and minimum
work expenditures of $ 131,325 (or CDN$ 150,000) spent before the
second
anniversary date;
|
e)
|
$
160,000 paid on the anniversary date of the agreement and minimum
work
expenditures of $ 262,650 (or CDN $ 300,000) spent before the third
anniversary date;
|
f)
|
$
200,000 paid on the fourth anniversary date of the agreement and
minimum
work expenditures of $ 437,750 (or CDN $ 500,000) spent before the
third
anniversary date.
|
If
the
minimum work expenditures are not met and should the parties mutually agree,
then the Company may pay in cash to the vendor 50% of the difference between
the
actual expenditures and the minimum work expenditure required for that year
in a
single payment to avoid being in default.
After
the
third anniversary date, the vendor has the right to buy back a 30% interest
in
the property by refunding to the Company all of their cumulative work
expenditures spent to date on the property. If the vendor exercises this right,
then the parties will immediately form a joint venture with Mar Ked’s
participating interest being 70%.
The
Company may, at any time, purchase up to 1.5% of the Net Smelter Return royalty
by paying the vendor the sum of $ 1,000,000.
(b)
On
May 15, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an assignment
of
rights to acquire a 50% undivided right, title and interest in and to certain
mineral claims in the Hatchet Lake region, Canada for consideration of 3,500,000
common shares of Mar Ked and cash in the amount of $ 250,000, and further
consideration of Mar Ked assuming all financial obligations to fund the joint
venture of the vendor pursuant to an agreement with Maxore Minerals Corp. As
at
May 31, 2008, no shares had been issued or cash paid related to the
transaction.

NOTE
5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, and
accounts payable. 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 value, unless otherwise
noted.
Currency
risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations of
foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company
does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.
For
the
quarter ending May 31, 2008, the Company has financial liabilities of $2,544
CDN
($2,409 US) and financial assets of $ 3,088 CDN ($2,924 U.S).
NOTE
6 - INCOME TAX
The
Company has accumulated net operating losses for income tax purposes of
approximately $98,000 which expire beginning in 2026. The potential future
tax
benefits of these losses have not been recognized in these interim financial
statements due to uncertainty of their realization. A full valuation allowance
has been provided for the company’s future income tax assets, as the management
of the Company has determined that it is more likely that not that these assets
will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This
statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may
be
found throughout this statement. Actual events or results may differ materially
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, including the matters set forth in this statement.
Our
plan
of operation for the next twelve months is to obtain the funding necessary
to
identify, purchase and explore mineral claims.
During
the twelve month period following the date hereof, we anticipate that we will
not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional
financing in order to continue our plan of operations. We believe that debt
financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of
exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.
We
anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing
from
the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged
and
we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise
sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our acquisition
and
exploration program.
We
may
consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required
funding to acquire and develop yet to be identified mineral claims. We have
not
undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we
determined to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that
any
third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to
fund
exploration of any mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture
arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in
any
mineral claims.
COMPARISON
OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007
During
the three-month periods ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, we had no revenues. We
do
not anticipate having any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage
company.
During
the three-month periods ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative
expenses, amounted to $4,160 and $26,747, respectively, and are summarized

estimate that our total planned expenditures over the next twelve months will
be
approximately $85,000. Our cash and working capital will not be sufficient
to
enable us to locate alternative mineral claims and we will have to pursue
additional debt or equity financing.
CASH
USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash
used
for operating activities was $1,390 for the six-month period ended May 31,
2008
and $23,267 for the six-month period ended May 31, 2007. We anticipate that
cash
used in operating activities will increase in 2008 however; this is dependent
upon raising additional capital.
CASH
FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We
have
funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. From
our
incorporation on August 22, 2006, to May 31, 2008, we have raised a total of
$85,000 from private offerings of our common stock.
11
As
noted
in Note 4 of the condensed financial statements, we entered into an agreement
to
purchase an assignment of rights to acquire a 50% undivided right, title and
interest in and to certain mineral claims in the Hatchet Lake region, Canada
for
consideration of 3,500,000 common shares of Mar Ked and cash in the amount
of
$250,000, and further consideration of Mar Ked assuming all financial
obligations to fund the joint venture pursuant to an agreement with Maxore
Minerals Corp. To pursue this venture we will be required to initially raise
$250,000 to fund the purchase of the interest and will be required to raise
substantially more equity to fund the development.
There
are
no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock
or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the
financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be
able
to continue our exploration of the property underlying our mineral claims option
and our venture will fail.
GOING
CONCERN
We
have
not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing
to
pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons, there is
substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
FUTURE
FINANCINGS
We
anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order
to
continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will
result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that
we
will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt
or other financing to fund our planned exploration activities.
