Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
1
Going concern and nature of operations
The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada and is involved in the acquisition and exploration of its gold, diamond and gemstone properties in Canada. The Company has not determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ability of Company to recover the costs it has incurred to date on these properties is dependant upon the Company being able to identify a commercial ore body, to finance its exploration and development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory, or other constraints which may hinder the successful development of the properties. The Company is in the development stage with no source of operating revenue and is dependant upon equity financing to maintain its current operations.
At September 30, 2008, the company has working capital of $652,186. As is typical for a development stage company, the company has incurred losses in the current and prior periods resulting in an accumulated deficit of $13,516,888. The company expects to continue to incur losses and is dependent on equity financing to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, there is some doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern, which could be material.

Significant accounting policies
Bases of Accounting and Consolidation
The interim financial statements for Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) on a basis consistent with those applied to the most recent annual financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenville Sand and Gravel Inc., which was incorporated on September 7, 2007.

Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Presentation
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following three new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA):
(i) Capital Disclosures (Section 1535)
CICA Handbook Section 1535 requires the disclosure of an entitys objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
The capital of the Company consists of items included in shareholders equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its resource assets. There were no changes to in the Companys capital management approach during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(ii) Financial Instruments Disclosure (Section 3862) and Presentation (Section 3863)
CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 replace CICA Section 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation. They increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entitys financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entitys key management personnel.
The Companys financial instruments consists of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, amounts receivable, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the fair values of which approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and are designated as held for trading and therefore carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in interest income. Amounts receivable, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and are measured at amortized cost.

Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management:
The Companys risk exposures and the impact on the Companys financial instruments are summarized below:
(a)
Credit risk
The Companys credit risk is limited to trade receivables in the ordinary course of business and the quality of its financial investments. As at September 30, 2008, the Companys financial instruments consist of interest-bearing short term investment-grade issued by a Canadian chartered bank. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to significant credit risk on financial instruments issued by the Canadian chartered bank.
(b)
Market risk: interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, but is not exposed to any interest rate risk on outstanding borrowing as there are none at September 30, 2008.
(c)
Liquidity risk
The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet the short-term business requirements. The Company maintains cash and short-term investments which are available on demand for this purpose.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced 2011 as the changeover date for publically-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadas own generally accepted accounting principles. The specific implementation is set for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The fair value of stock options was estimated at the grant date based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions:
|

|

|

|

|
Expected volatility |

|
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the companys stock options.

Outstanding matters
The Company received an additional claim with respect to the previously discussed law suit to the OJVA on the Kenville property on November 6, 2007, filed by Gold Standard Resource Corp (GSR) that duplicates the relief sought in the original claim dated December 27, 2006. The Company has filed its Statement of Defense and denies each and every allegation of fact contained in the claim with respect to the OJVA.
The Company believes that this suit is not properly brought forth as it is contrary to Rule 5(3) of the Rules of Court of British Columbia and that GSR is attempting to avoid ongoing attempts by Anglo Swiss to proceed with an application for the Plaintiffs to provide security for costs dated January 25, 2007. There is also an outstanding application by GSR to be added to the original claim dated March 8, 2007.
Anglo Swiss believes both claims to be without merit and are meant to cause the Company extra costs and to allow GSR to circumvent outstanding matters in the original claim and try to create a multiplicity of proceedings, contrary to the provision of the Law and Equity Act R.S.B.C.1996.c.253. Pursuant to the OJVA, in the first quarter of 2007 Anglo Swiss appointed an Auditor to audit the exploration expenditures alleged by the Optionees during the term of the OJVA. The Optionees failed to comply with the Auditor after repeated requests for the Audit materials and the Audit was completed with no basis to support the Optionees alleged expenditures.
The Company will continue to defend its 100% ownership of the Kenville property. Anglo Swiss has retained Ferris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP as council in this matter.

Interim Managements Discussion and Analysis
Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2008
DATED November 28, 2008
Anglo Swiss is a junior mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 company under the trading symbol ASW. The Company is also inter-listed in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol ASWRF and effective February of 2004 quoted on the Berlin Exchange in Germany under the trading symbol AMO.
Anglo Swiss is in the business of the acquisition, exploration, exploration management and sale of mineral properties, with the primary aim of advancing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit. The Company does not currently have any producing mineral properties and our current operations on our various properties are exploratory searches for mineable deposits of minerals. Before and during the period ended March 31, 2008, Anglo Swiss has been primarily engaged in the renewed exploration of the Kenville Mine property (metals) and the Fry Inlet property (diamonds).
This MD&A is dated November 28, 2008 and discloses specified information up to that date. Anglo Swiss is classified as a venture issuer for the purposes of National Instrument 51-102. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals applicable in Canada and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The discussion and analysis should be read together with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and related notes attached thereto (the 2007 Financial Statements). Throughout this report we refer from time to time to Anglo Swiss, the Company, we, us, our, or its. All these terms are used in respect of Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. which is the reporting issuer in this document.
We recommend that readers consult the Cautionary Statement at the end of this report.
Overall Performance
The following summarizes the significant events and transactions in our mineral projects during the period.
Kenville Mine Property (100% Owned)
The Kenville Property continues to be the major asset of the Company, with 385.82 hectares of staked mineral claims and 180.88 hectares of Crown granted mineral claims plus three - fee simple district lots. Due to the recent and continued increase in the global metals commodities market, the Company is of the opinion that the value of the property, plant and equipment has most likely increased.
This property is very advanced; from the underground infrastructure to the surface facilities, mill building, mine manager office, workers dry, assay laboratory, maintenance and repair shop and the mine managers residence. The equipment on site is extensive with most of the required ancillary equipment necessary to operate underground mining such as ore cars, coarse ore bins, jaw and cone crushers and the milling circuit.
Surface Facilities
The Company has taken delivery and initiated installation of mineral processing equipment for its 100-per-cent-owned Kenville Gold mine and milling property, located near the city of Nelson in south eastern British Columbia.
The newly purchased crushing and milling equipment consists of:
·
Two ball mills with drives;
·
A classifier;
·
Three flotation units containing four cells each.
The equipment complements the existing underground and surface facilities at the Kenville Gold mine property. Upon installation of the equipment, Anglo Swiss will enter into a pilot production program while continuing its exploration programs and gathering further geotechnical information
The Company has completed the rehabilitation of the main mine haulage system at its 100-per-cent-owned Kenville Gold mine property near Nelson, B.C. This major historical production level, known as the 257 level, is the lower of two levels and is now entirely operational with the extensive main drifts track repair complete. The Kenville Gold mine has approximately 6,000 metres (four miles) of tunnel and production areas.
Included in the Kenville Gold mine rehabilitation is the reconstruction of the main mine portal, installation and activation of the rail, the compressed air systems, and the installation of the mine ventilation system throughout the entire 257 level.
The 257-level haulage system has also been extended to surface for the transportation of existing loose mineralized quartz vein material to the recently rebuilt mill building for processing; the mill building itself is very near completion with installation of the newly purchased gold recovery equipment continuing.
This is an exciting milestone for the company as we advance the Kenville Gold mine property towards our goal of re-establishing production. The initial plant feed will be from the 257 level which has extensive tonnage of broken mineralized quartz materials from previous workings in the existing underground production areas. Once this material is processed, mining will then commence on the visible mineralized mine veins.
This equipment, with the existing infrastructure, will allow material bearing gold and other known metals from the underground bulk sample program to be processed on site. The existing underground system contains extensive ore stopes and old vein areas readily available for processing.
Exploration
The Kenville property has undergone the most extensive exploration program in many decades in 2008. The Company has completed the 2008 surface drill program consisting of over 14,000 meters and assays received to date have been very encouraging.
Initial assay results from multiple high-grade gold and silver intercepts in several newly discovered mineralized quartz veins have been traced for at least 700 metres through the western side of the Kenville mine property.
Assay highlights of five mineralized quartz vein intercepts from multiple high-grade intervals from the first 28 drill holes (totalling 8,530 metres) include:
·
205.0 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 0.3 metre with 182.0 g/t silver and 0.52 per cent copper in hole AK08-15;
·
115.0 g/t gold over 0.25 metre with 82.2 g/t silver and 1.61 per cent copper in hole AK08-17;
·
44.7 g/t gold over 0.5 metre with 90.3 g/t silver and 0.26 per cent copper in hole AK08-07;
·
29.2 g/t gold over 0.32 metre with 54.3 g/t silver and 1.05 per cent copper in hole AK08-18;
·
10.07 g/t gold over 1.22 metres with 8.43 g/t silver in hole AK08-24.
Geological interpretation has also recognized a fracture or shear zone that approximately parallels the trend of the high-grade quartz veins and like the quartz vein system, can be traced for approximately 700 metres, throughout the west side of the property. The fracture zone is variable in width between
approximately 4.5 to 10.0 metres, containing copper grades from 0.49 per cent to 1.53 per cent copper (plus/minus silver, molybdenum and gold).
Five different drill hole intersections throughout the length of the shear zone resulted in an average copper grade of 0.94 per cent copper. Further details of this mineralized fracture zone as well as related widespread disseminated or porphyry-style copper mineralization is summarized below:
Assay highlights of five copper (+/- silver, molybdenum and gold) intercepts of the 700 meter fracture of shear zone from the first 28 drill holes (totalling 8530 meters) include:

The Company has also commenced operations of its quarry operations through its wholly owned subsidiary Kenville Sand & Gravel Inc. Exploration is continuing on the aggregate resource on the Companys crown granted claims with a 43-101 resource report expected upon the completion of the exploration program.
Legal Status Kenville
This property was subject to an Option Joint Venture Agreement (OJVA) that lapsed on September 5, 2006, as the Optionee to the OJVA did not meet the required exploration expenditures of $700,000 due by that date. During August of 2006, the Company was advised by the Optionees that they alleged to have completed the required expenditures of $700,000 as required under the OJVA.
The Company commenced with an independent audit of the Optionees alleged exploration expenditures in accordance with the OJVA. The Optionees did not cooperate with the audit and the audit was completed with no evidence that $700,000 in expenditures had been achieved.
Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. filed a statement of defense in response to a lawsuit commenced in the Supreme Court of British Columbia file no. S068401 dated December 28, 2006 by Tracer Enterprises Ltd., Babylon Enterprises Ltd., Foaming Holdings Ltd. and Glacial Holdings Inc., collectively the Optionees with respect to the Option Joint Venture Agreement (OJVA) on the Kenville Mine property. An additional identical suit was served in November of 2007 and both are being defended.
In its statement of defense, Anglo Swiss denied the allegations contained in the Optionees' statement of claim. In particular, Anglo Swiss says that the claim is without merit as it had been brought before the audit has determined whether the Optionees are entitled to exercise the option. A claim to have a joint venture declared at that stage would be an attempt to avoid the audit procedure that Anglo Swiss and the Optionees agreed to when they entered the OJVA. Further, Anglo Swiss has denied the Optionees' allegations of breach of contract or breach of duty of good faith as being without basis.
Anglo Swiss has retained Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP as counsel in this matter.
Northwest Territories Fry Inlet Property (Optioned)
Fry Inlet Diamond Property the Company performed two exploration programs in 2007 on the Fry property. The Company contracted with Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Yellowknife, NWT, to conduct ground geophysics consisting of MAG/HLEM surveys. This program preceded the Company's proposed 1,500-metre drill program scheduled for mid summer.
The 2007 geophysics program generated 39 magnetic and 34 electromagnetic anomalies for drilling and a significantly diamondiferous kimberlite was confirmed to date. MPH Consulting Ltd. interpreted the 2006 Fugro airborne survey data earlier that year and its report far exceeded management's expectations as MPH identified 39 magnetic anomalies conforming to an idealized Lac de Gras-style intrusive diatreme (16 ranked as A and 23 as B plus). There were another 34 electromagnetic anomalies (10 ranked as A and 24 as B plus) again conforming to an idealized diatreme model -- prime contexts for the possibility of diamond-bearing kimberlites.
The LI 201 kimberlite produced 14 macrodiamonds and 46 microdiamonds from a previous drill program in the 1990s and is contained within a cluster of seven anomalies that the 1,500-metre drill program will test this year.
Aurora's program was based on a survey involving approximately 18.0 line kilometres of total field magnetics and approximately six line kilometres of horizontal loop electromagnetics. Aurora mobilized a six-man crew to conduct this project. Standard gridding was completed on 100-metre lines for the horizontal loop EM surveys. The total field magnetic surveys was completed using non-differential GPS navigation and control.
Anglo Swiss technical staff reviewed MPH's recommendations and selected a cluster of seven targets for NQ drilling, including re-drilling the significantly diamondiferous LI-201 kimberlite upon completion of the ground geophysics program. The data collected by Aurora was again interpreted by MPH Consulting to assist Anglo's technical staff in selecting the order and priority of additional drill targets within the cluster.
In August of 2007 the drill program was initiated. Drilling on the LI-201 kimberlite was carried out over the period Aug. 22 to Sept. 19, 2007. The drilling program consisted of five core holes, totalling 421.6 metres (1,383.2 feet). Two of the drill holes contained intercepts of LI-201 kimberlite. Drill holes Y07-04 and Y07-05 intersected kimberlite totalling 20.25 metres and 14.75 metres, respectively. The material sampled from these two drill holes had a combined weight of 58.0 kilograms, and was obtained from six separate subsamples of split NQ-size drill core. The samples were sent to C.F. Minerals Research Ltd., of Kelowna, B.C., for processing and indicator mineral and microdiamond recovery, and a total of 30 diamonds were recovered. The "Diamond distribution in CIM square mesh sieve classes" table shows the stone size distribution for the combined sample.

Note: Thirteen additional microdiamonds passed through a 0.106-millimetre square mesh sieve for a total diamond count of 30 microdiamonds. In total, 17 diamonds greater than 0.106 mm have been recovered, which equates to 293 diamonds (more than 0.106 mm) per tonne of kimberlite.
The drill program tested geophysical targets as well as to confirm the location and nature of the previously discovered LI-201 kimberlite. Due to continuing mechanical problems throughout the drill
program, and with the onset of winter conditions, the drilling program was considerably reduced from its originally intended 1,500-metre program.
The results obtained from the latest study confirm the diamondiferous nature of the LI-201 kimberlite. The company has conducted airborne geophysics over the body and believes that potential exists for additional phases of kimberlite beyond the area of the current drill intersections. Additional work on the compositions of the indicator mineral recovered and analyzed by C.F. Minerals from LI-201 is currently being carried out by Mineral Services Canada Inc. of North Vancouver, B.C. Mineral Services Canada Inc. will be retained to carry out interpretive studies pertaining to future diamond exploration programs by Anglo Swiss.
With only four drill holes that have intersected the LI-201 kimberlite (two by Kennecott and two by Anglo Swiss) over a small area (50 m by 75 m), the overall size and nature of the kimberlite zone requires further evaluation and testing. Anglo Swiss is in the third year of a five-year option agreement with New Shoshoni Ventures Ltd. that allows Anglo Swiss to earn up to a 60-per-cent interest in the Fry Inlet property be incurring $6.2-million in exploration expenditures.
At present, Anglo Swiss is in the planning stages for carrying out a detailed program of ground geophysics that will test the known area of the LI-201 kimberlite and to locate extensions or larger masses related to the known kimberlite zone. The LI-201 kimberlite zone is located on the immediate edge of a small lake. Due to the recessive nature of kimberlite bodies, the small lake may represent a topographic depression caused by partial glacial erosion of a larger hidden body of kimberlite. The known area of the LI-201 kimberlite may represent a linear dike structure of kimberlite emanating from a larger kimberlite body underlying the adjacent lake. Part of the proposed geophysics program will be carried out over the lake area to test the hypothesis of a hidden kimberlite body under the lake.
Group of Five Diamond Claims (100% Owned)
On January 19, 2006 the company acquired a 100% interest in four strategically located mineral claims covering approximately 4,180 hectares within the Lac de Gras area in the Northwest Territories.
The vendor of these claims neglected to transfer the AFR 6 & 7 claims to the Company under the terms of the acquisition agreement and subsequently the claims lapsed. A transfer agreement dated April 20, 2007 replaced the two lost claims at the vendors expense to the Company with three new claims, the UL 3, 4, and 5 claims. These claims totalled 7,746 acres and are contiguous to the UL 1&2. Exploration consisting of ground and airborne geophysics is planned for 2009. Ground and airborne geophysics are being designed and budgeted for 2009.
Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Operations
At September 30, 2008 the Kenville Mine property is carried at $3,980,760 in acquisition and exploration expenditures, plus fixed assets of certain plant and equipment of $796,964 for a total of $4,777,724 a significant improvement from the year ended December 31, 2007 of $2,604,857. This is a direct result of the capital improvements incurred on the surface facilities and the extensive exploration programs during the first nine months of 2008.
The Blu Starr and the McAllister properties are at the grass roots exploration stage and are carried at $1,449,754 and $8,567 respectively at September 30, 2008. Limited exploration was incurred on both of these properties in 2008 and assessments reports are currently being written at the time of this report.
The Fry Inlet property incurred $50,943 in expenditures through the nine month period as the Company has filed its assessment report for the 2006/2007 explorations seasons earlier in 2008. The Company has expended $1,290,356 to-date on this property, towards an option joint venture
agreement with New Shoshoni Ventures which requires a total of $3,000,000 incurred by July of 2010.
The Company was required to expend $800,000 in exploration expenditures by July of 2008, which by mutual agreement has been extended to July of 2010. The Company has met the first two years exploration obligations due by May 25, 2007 of $600,000 and completed all the anniversary payments of $30,000, $35,000 and $40,000 due May 25, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Cash resources at September 30, 2008 were $535,008 compared to $4,151,934 at December 31, 2007 and $640,424 at September 30, 2007. The Company completed four private placements in 2007 raising over $6 million. The Company has expended 90% of its cash resources in the first 9 months of 2008 due to the extensive exploration activity and the capital costs attributed to the rehabilitation of the mill and plant infrastructure.
While the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, and sourcing partners to advance its properties, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, there is some doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
Summary of Quarterly Results (Un-audited)
The following table sets out selected quarterly financial information of Anglo Swiss. Anglo Swiss interim financial statements are prepared by management, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and expressed in Canadian dollars.

Q3 Ended September 30, 2007
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Anglo Swiss sustained a loss of $505,910; the loss for the similar period of 2007 was $306,770. The expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2008 saw some significant increases as the Company was more active in its operations and exploration activities.
Significant increases were incurred in Travel and Promotion which were higher at $15,115 ($9,228 in Q3-2007) as the Company attended investor trade shows for the first time in many years. Shareholder Information was also increased to $86,902 in this third quarter compared to $31,334 for the similar quarter of 2007. General exploration expenses of $123,237 were incurred on the Blu Starr and McAllister properties in 2008 (Q3-2007 - $3,054) with results pending. Consulting fees were also increased to $54,000 in this quarter compared to $15,000 in Q3-2007 as the Company entered into management employment contracts with its senior executives in 2008.
Administrative fees saw a decrease to $14,772 for the third quarter of 2008 ($59,168 due to one-time tax charge of approximately $40,000 incurred in the third quarter of 2007). Filing fees as well decreased this quarter to $1,957 compared to $12,128 during the similar period in 2007 due to the
costs associated with the private placement closed in August, nil for the same period in 2008. This also affected the costs incurred for Professional fees that were reduced to $7,496 for the 3rd quarter of 2008 compared to $64,504 in 2007.
Non-cash related items included Stock-based compensation in Q3 of 2008 of $177,006 (Q3-2007 of $109,250) and further depreciation of $51,996 in this period (Q3-2007 - $769) of the plant and equipment at the Kenville Mine site which is now subject to depreciation as it has commenced production of crushing the waste rock dumps into aggregate for sale to the local community. Transfer agent fees were slightly higher in Q3 2008 to $6,692 compared to $4,091 in Q3 2007.
Administrative consists of general administrative expenses attributed to the day to day operation of the public side of the business, items such as rent, phone/internet, hydro and all day to day office expenses with the exception of any extraordinary events.
The total expenses (excluding non-cash charges) for the three month period ending September 30, 2008 were $276,908 compared to $197,520 for the same period in 2007 excluding stock based compensation and depreciation of the Kenville Mill equipment.
The Company also recorded $664,384 for potential future income tax liability related to the renunciation of exploration expenditures from a flow through share offering in 2007. The Company believes it will not be exposed to this possibility as it has incurred the required qualifying exploration expenditures in 2008.
Liquidity
In managements view given the nature of the Companys activities, which consists of the acquisition, exploration, exploration management and purchase of mineral properties, the most meaningful and material financial information concerning the Company relates to its current liquidity and capital resources. The Company currently does not have any producing properties and its current operations on its various properties are in the exploration stages and have not derived any revenues from the sale of gold, gemstones or any other materials in the last three years.
The Companys mineral exploration activities have been funded through the sales of common shares, and while the Company has also been successful in attracting partners to continue development and exploration of its properties, there is no assurance that these trends will continue indefinitely. The ongoing general and administrative obligations are dependent on financings as well and the Company expects to continue to utilize this source of funding until it develops cash flow from its operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to obtain the required financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.
The Company has existing working capital of $652,186 at September 30, 2008 ($640,424 at September 30, 2007) and will require additional financing to further exploration of its mineral properties and to meet its ongoing obligations as they incur. The Company has not carried out debt financing nor has it made use of any financial instruments for hedging purposes.
The Company has work commitments for capital expenditures of approximately $1,800,000 from the New Shoshoni Option and Joint Venture Agreement due by July of 2010. The other claims held in the NWT will also require work expenditures during fiscal 2009. There are approximately 32,000 acres requiring $2 per acre per year in exploration expenditures to retain in good standing.
Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008 Anglo Swiss had paid up capital of $18,487,447, representing 102,462,837 common shares without par value, and a deficit of $13,516,888 resulting in a shareholders equity (or net
assets) of $7,690,887 (December 31, 2007 - $9,182,444). Anglo Swiss has working capital of $652,186 at September 30, 2008.
While the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, and sourcing partners to advance its properties, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company may also finance itself through the exercise of options and warrants outstanding; although this avenue of funding is directly related to the capital markets and the future share price of its common shares within the marketplace and therefore should not be relied upon.
The Company has at September 30, 2008 18,855,000 options granted at $0.10 to $0.44 per share to directors, officers and consultants that expire at various dates from February 2009 to June of 2013. At September 30, 2008 there were 13,502,500 exercisable.
Additional Disclosure for Ventures without Significant Revenue
Additional disclosure concerning Anglo Swiss general and administrative expenses and resource property costs is provided in the Companys Statement of Loss and Deficit and the Schedule of Resource Property Costs contained in its Financial Statements for September 30, 2008 and the audited year end statements at December 31, 2007 both are available on the Company website at www.anglo-swiss.com or on its SEDAR page site accessed through www.sedar.com , in the United States through its EDGAR filings accessed at www.sec.gov.

including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have designed, or caused to be designed under our supervision, internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.
Subsequent Events to September 30, 2008
Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. has further extended the expiration date related to 2.5 million warrants issued in a private placement completed on April 30, 2007 originally extended to October 31, 2008. The new warrant expiration date will be amended to April 30, 2009. The exercise price remains unchanged.
Changes in Accounting Policies
On January 1, 2004, the company adopted the fair value-based method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Accordingly, compensation expense was recorded on the grant of stock options to employees and directors as the exercise price is equal to or greater than the market price at the date of the grant.
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Presentation
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following three new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA):
(i) Capital Disclosures (Section 1535)
CICA Handbook Section 1535 requires the disclosure of an entitys objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
The capital of the Company consists of items included in shareholders equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its resource assets. There were no changes to in the Companys capital management approach during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(ii) Financial Instruments Disclosure (Section 3862) and Presentation (Section 3863)
CICA Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 replace CICA Section 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation. They increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entitys financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entitys key management personnel.
The Companys financial instruments consists of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, amounts receivable, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the fair values of which approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and are designated as held for trading and therefore carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in interest income. Amounts receivable, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities and are measured at amortized cost.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced 2011 as the changeover date for publically-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadas own generally accepted accounting principles. The specific implementation is set for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
