Radius Gold Inc.

An Exploration Stage Company

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Expressed in Canadian Dollars



1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations


Radius Gold Inc. (The Company) was formed by the amalgamation of Radius Explorations Ltd. (Radius) (formerly RDU – TSXV) and PilaGold Inc. (PilaGold) (formerly PRI – TSXV) which became effective on July 1, 2004.


The Company is engaged in acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. The amounts shown for the mineral properties represent costs incurred to date and do not reflect present or future values.  The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.  Accordingly, the recoverability of these capitalized costs is dependant upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production.


The interim consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of Radius Gold Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Cayman Islands, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.


The six months ending June 30, 2006 consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  All financial summaries included are presented on a comparative and consistent basis showing the figures for the corresponding period in the preceding year.  The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  



2.

Accounting Policy


(a)

Stock-Based Compensation


The Company grants options in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).  The Company has adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”, which recommends the fair value-based methodology for measuring all compensation costs. Commencing January 1, 2004 the fair value of stock options awarded is recognized as an expense.


(b)

Marketable Securities


Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.


(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents included highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Segmented Information


Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operation decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  All of the Company’s operations are within the mining sector relating to gold exploration.  Due to the geographic and political diversity, the Company’s exploration operations are decentralized whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the exploration programs in addressing local and regional issues.  The Company’s operations are therefore segmented on a district basis. The Company’s assets are located in Canada, Caymans, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Dominican Republic and Mexico.


Details of identifiable assets by geographic segments are as follows:

RADIUS GOLD INC.

(the “Company”)


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Second Quarter Report – June 30, 2006





General


This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) supplements, but does not form part of, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The following information, prepared as of August 18, 2006, should be read in conjunction with the June 30, 2006 financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.  The June 30, 2006 financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.



Business of the Company


The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties, primarily gold targets, with a regional focus on Central America.  In some instances joint venture partners are found to advance the projects following discovery.  Presently the Company has a portfolio of projects in Nicaragua, Guatemala and southern Mexico.  


Nicaragua


The most advanced project in Nicaragua is the Natividad project which is located in Central Nicaragua. Radius is advancing this project through a joint venture with Meridian Gold Inc.  Meridian has an option to earn a 60% interest in the project by making certain exploration expenditures and cash payments to the Company, the details of this earn-in can be reviewed on the Radius web site.  To date, Meridian has expended over US$3.5 million on the property.  Having completed a total of 43 holes at Natividad in 2005, drilling is again underway at Natividad.  


This second round of drilling will attempt to extend the high-grade shoots indicated by last year’s drilling, explore the Pavon North and Las Brisas veins for better mineralization at deeper levels than were tested last year, and drill test new zones that were discovered from the on-going regional work completed within the joint venture area.  


Elsewhere in Nicaragua, Radius is continuing to market the San Pedro project.  Field teams continued prospecting, mapping and sampling at the project during the quarter with the aim of defining additional drill targets.  At the same time, the Company is actively seeking a joint venture partner to drill test this project.  


Regional work also continues in the country, recently identifying several new areas with potential.  Follow-up work is presently being undertaken on these targets.


Guatemala


In Guatemala, Radius’s technical personnel have commenced reviewing bids for underground work at the Tambor project.  Previous drilling on the project defined some very high grade gold shoots, the size of which was never defined by the drill programs conducted.  The Company feels that obtaining underground access to these areas would be a cost effective way to establish any continuity to these shoots, and believes there is potential to significantly increase the size of the present resource on this property.  


In western Guatemala, the Company had a joint venture with Glamis Gold Ltd. on the Banderas gold project.  Recently Glamis has terminated this joint venture and returned the property to Radius.  Results obtained by the two drill programs conducted by Glamis are being reviewed by the Company and a decision is pending where we go from here on this project.


Mexico


Radius’s teams continue the regional exploration programs ongoing in Mexico.  



Results of Operations


For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $1,716,996 ($0.03 per share) compared to a net loss of $534,545 ($0.01 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Interest and other income was higher in the 2006 period as compared to the 2005 period, and corporate expenses (not including stock-based compensation and amortization) in 2006 were almost half of corporate expenses for 2005.  Categories of corporate expenses which were significantly lower in the six months ended June 30, 2006 were legal and accounting, office and miscellaneous, public relations, and travel.  The increase in net loss from 2005 to 2006 is due mainly to a non-cash compensation charge in 2006 of $1,230,750 and a write-off of exploration costs of $307,861.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s cash and marketable securities decreased from $13.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $12.2 million at June 30, 2006.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company spent $1,214,812 in exploration and equipment costs and $155,038 on corporate expenses.  Working capital at June 30, 2006 was $12.4 million compared to $13.8 million at December 31, 2005.   


Management expects that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its corporate and exploration commitments over at least the next 24 months.  Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration and development activity.  Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto.  The Company continues to use various strategies to minimize its dependence on equity capital, including the securing of joint venture partners where appropriate.

Financial Instruments


The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from/to related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.  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.




Forward Looking Information


Certain statements contained in this MD&A and elsewhere constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance of achievements of the company to materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made, and readers are advised to consider such forward-looking statements in light of the risks set forth below.



Risks and Uncertainties


The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk.  Few properties that are explored ultimately become producing mines.  At present, none of the Company’s properties has a known commercial ore deposit.  The Company’s mineral properties are also located in emerging nations and consequently may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to developed countries.  Operations, the status of mineral property rights, title to the properties and the recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political situations.  Other risks facing the Company include competition, environmental and insurance risks, fluctuations in metal prices, share price volatility and uncertainty of additional financing.



Internal Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that they are sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to management and disclosed in accordance with applicable securities regulations.
