ALTAIR INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
These unaudited interim financial statements of Altair International
Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Such rules and regulations allow the
omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of
Company management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods
shown. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual
Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company is a Canadian corporation and, in the past, has prepared
its interim and year-end financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"). Because the
Company's operations are now centered in the United States, the Company
determined effective January 1, 1997 that its functional currency is the U.S.
Dollar and determined effective January 1, 1998 to prepare its interim financial
statements in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the
United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Accordingly, the foregoing unaudited interim
financial statements are denominated in U.S. Dollars and presented in accordance
with U.S.
GAAP.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
Note 2. Development Stage Company
As of March 31, 1998, the Company would be characterized as a
development stage enterprise under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 7 (SFAS 7). The following is a summary of the deficit accumulated during the
development stage prepared in accordance with SFAS 7:

Note 3. Equity Transactions.
During 1996, the Company acquired the rights to Campbell Centrifugal
Jig, altered and improved to become the Altair Centrifugal Jig (the "CJ"),
through a merger (the "TMI Merger") involving the Company, Fine Gold Recovery
Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Trans Mar, Inc.
("TMI"), a Washington corporation. In the TMI Merger, all shares of the capital
stock of TMI were converted into and exchanged for 1,919,957 shares of the
Company's common stock ("Common Shares"), which were issued and deposited into
escrow pursuant to the terms of two escrow agreements. Of the 1,919,957 Common
Shares initially deposited into escrow, 266,170 Common Shares remain subject to
a Performance Escrow Agreement dated February 29, 1996 (the "Escrow Agreement"),
which provides for release based on the cash flow of the Company, and 749,957
Common Shares have been released pursuant to the terms of the governing
agreements. The remaining 903,830 Common Shares initially deposited into escrow
were subject to the terms of the Performance Escrow Agreement. However, on March
19, 1998, the Alberta Stock Exchange approved (and thereby made effective) a
settlement agreement (the "Settlement") with respect to such 903,830 shares.
Pursuant to the Settlement, 180,765 of the affected 903,830 shares were released
to the beneficial owners effective March 19, 1998 (subject to certain resale
restrictions) and the remaining 723,065 shares subject to the Settlement were
canceled.
During the first quarter of 1998, 120,000 options to purchase Common
Shares were issued to employees of the Company at prices equal to the market
price on the Alberta Stock Exchange on the day prior to the date of issuance.
During the same period, options to purchase 17,500 Common Shares were exercised,
from which the Company received $113,664. As of March 31, 1998, 1,065,000
options to purchase Common Shares were outstanding.
