AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders of
Gemstar Resources Ltd. We have audited the Balance Sheets of
Gemstar Resources Ltd. as at January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2004,
and the Statements of Income, Retained Earnings (Deficit), and Cash
Flows for the years ended January 31, 2005, and January 31, 2004.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as at January 31, 2005 and January 31, 2004 and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended January
31, 2005 and January 31, 2004 in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles. "Moen and Company" Chartered
Accountants Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada April 4, 2005
Comments by Auditor for U.S. Readers On Canada-U.S. Reporting
Difference In the United States, reporting standards for auditors
require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the
opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by
conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the company s
ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in
Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders
dated April 4, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian
reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events
and conditions in the auditors' report when they are properly
accounted for and are adequately disclosed in the financial
statements. "Moen and Company" Chartered Accountants Vancouver,

See Accompanying Independent Auditors' Report

Financial Statements January 31, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS The Company was
incorporated on March 31, 1998. The Company is in the development
stage relating to exploration and development of mineral properties
and has not generated any revenues from its planned operations. The
deficit has been accumulated during this development stage. Going
Concern These financial statement have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to a going concern which assume that the Company will realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has incurred losses since incorporation and
inception of $1,938,636 and has a working capital deficit at
January 31, 2005 of $977,583. These factors create doubt as to the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern unless
sufficient funds are raised for the payment of its current
liabilities and for ongoing operations. Realization values may be
substantially different from the carrying values as shown in these
financial statements should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern. Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Fixed
assets and depreciation The Company records depreciation on
computer equipment at 30%, on a declining balance basis. January
31, 2005 2004 ------------ ---------- Cost $ 1,653 $ 1,653
Accumulated depreciation 844 496
------------------------------------------------------------ $ 809
$ 1,157
============================================================ b)
General and administration expenses General and administration
expenses are written off to operations as incurred. c) Financial
Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash,
GST receivable, and current liabilities. 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
value of these financial statements approximates their carrying
values. GEMSTAR RESOURCES LTD. Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) d) Translation of
Foreign Currency The accounts of the Company are translated into
Canadian dollars on the following basis: - monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the
balance sheet date - non-monetary assets and liabilities are
translated at the rate prevailing when the transaction occurred -
revenue, general & administration expenses, and gains and
losses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during
the period - exchange gains or losses from conversion are included
in the current net income. - depreciation or amortization of assets
are translated at the same exchange rates as the assets to which
they relate; e) Use of estimates The preparation of financial
statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Estimates are used
for, but are not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts,
depreciation, income taxes, and the recoverability of non-producing
mining property capitalized costs and deferred exploration
expenditures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. f)
Stock-based compensation plan Effective January 1, 2002 the Company
adopted, on a prospective basis, CICA HB 3870 stock-based
compensation and other stock-based payments, which established
standards for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of
stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services.
Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments require
that stock-based payments to non-employees be accounted for using a
fair value based method of accounting. The new standards permit,
and the Company has adopted, the use of the intrinsic value based
method, which recognizes compensation costs for awards to employees
only when the market price exceeds the exercise price at date of
grant, but requires pro forma disclosure of earnings and earnings
and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been
adopted. No stock options were issued during the period, and no
stock options are outstanding at January 31, 2005. g) Cash Cash and
cash equivalents consist of $2,989 cash deposit in bank, $6,900
security deposit for credit card and $354 cash in lawyers' trust
account as at January 31, 2005. GEMSTAR RESOURCES LTD. Notes to
Financial Statements January 31, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) h) Mineral
Properties Acquisition costs of mineral properties are capitalized
by the Company, and are dealt with in the same manner as deferred
exploration costs. Mineral property sale proceeds or option
payments received for exploration rights are credited firstly to
mineral property costs, secondly, as a recovery of deferred
exploration costs, and thereafter, recognized as a gain or loss in
current operations. i) Values The amounts for deferred exploration
costs and mineral properties represent costs incurred to date and
are not intended to reflect present or future values. The
recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and
deferred exploration costs is dependent on the confirmation of
economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to
obtain the necessary financing to successfully complete their
development, including compliance with the requirements of lenders
who may provide this financing from time to time, and upon future
profitable operations. j) Reclassification of Comparative Figures
Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to
conform to the disclosure in these financial statements for 2005.
Note 3. SHARE CAPITAL a) Authorized: 100,000,000 common shares
without par value b) Issued and outstanding:

Note 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (a) (i) Loans from related
parties of $779,638 as at January 31, 2005 ($684,644 - January 31,
2004) are unsecured, non interest bearing, with no specific terms
of repayment. (ii) Loans from related party of $106,754 as at
January 31, 2005 is non interest bearing, and shall mature on
January 1, 2006 unless it is converted into equity (each $0.05 of
Principal outstanding may be converted into one share) prior to the
maturity date. The summary of the loans from related parties are as
follows: January 31, 2005 2004 ------------ ---------- Darcy Krell

============================================================ The
company adopted Handbook 3860.A25, to recognize the residual
valuation of equity component of the loans from Ryan Krell of
$106,754. The liability component is valued first, and the
difference between the conversion of the loans and the fair value
of the liability is assigned to the equity component. The present
value of the liability component is calculated using a discount
rate of 4.5%, as shown below. Present value of loans - $106,754
payable at the end of 1year/ 2 years $102,157 $97,758 Equity
component (by deduction) 4,597 8,996

Statements January 31, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 5. INCOME TAXES The Company does not have any income tax
liabilities during the current year and, accordingly, no income
taxes are recorded. The potential income tax benefits associated
with losses incurred by the Company have not been recorded in the
accounts as future taxation, as they are offset by valuation
reserves due to uncertainty as to the utilization of tax losses.
Note 6. INVESTMENT IN MINERAL PROPERTY The claims that the Company
acquired from L.C.M. Equity Inc. in the Black River area in the,
Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario, expired during the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2003, and accordingly, costs of $200,000
were written off, resulting in a charge to operations of $200,000
in that fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004,
the claims were restaked and the costs of $4,260 for restaking the
newly named claims are capitalized as investment in mineral
property. The Company has 100% interest in Dotted Lake Property (TB
3011450 expiring March 14, 2005, TB 3011451 expiring March 14,
2005, TB 3011452 expiring March 23, 2005, TB3011453 expiring March
23, 2005, TB3011454 expiring March 23, 2005, Thunder Bay Mining
Division, Ontario, Canada. These claims are held in trust for the
Company in the name of 1179406 Ontario Limited, the latter of which
is owned by Mr. Robert Reukl, the original staker of the claims who
transferred the claims to1179406 Ontario Limited. Note 7. ADVANCE
FOR EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES The advance for exploration
expenditures of $152,000 is held by L.C.M. Equity Inc. ("LCM") for
exploration expenditures. LCM is required to proceed with
exploration upon notice from Gemstar Resources Ltd. LCM is a
private company which is not related to Gemstar Resources Inc.
Management has determined that there is no impairment of this
amount as at January 31, 2005 Note 8. LAWSUIT There is a claim by
Ellis Foster that it is owed $51,680 for accounting services it
allegedly provided to the Company. The Company disputes the payment
of fees charged to it as the fees are in connection with the audit
of Dalian Maple Leaf International School, a private company owned
by the Company's former president, Mr. Sherman Jen. Note 9.

deposit on credit card of $6,900, legal retainer of $354, and
advance for exploration expenditure for $152,000 can be prepaid.
Under United States GAAP, deposit on credit card, legal retainer
and advance for exploration expenditure should be expensed as
incurred, and accordingly, the amount of $159,254 is expensed in
the previous statement of income for the year ended January 31,
2004. (b) Accounting for start-up costs - Mining Properties Cost of
Mineral Property and Deferred Exploration Costs Under Canadian
accounting principles, these costs and recoveries may be deferred
prior to the commencement of commercial operations. Accounting
principles in the United States require expenditures and revenue
during the start-up of operations to be charged to earnings. The
mining property costs of $4,206 which are deferred under Canadian
accounting principles, are expensed in the previous statement of
income for the year ended January 31, 2004 for U.S. GAAP. (c)
Income taxes The accounting for income taxes under Canadian GAAP
and United States GAAP is essentially the same, except that: -
income tax rates of enacted or substantively enacted tax law must
be used to calculate future income tax assets and liabilities under
Canadian GAAP. - Only income tax rates of enacted tax law can be
used under United States GAAP. For both Canadian GAAP and U.S.
GAAP, no Future Income Tax (Canadian GAAP) or Deferred Tax (U.S.
GAAP) are either recorded as assets or as liabilities, as they are
off
