NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008
1. Basis of presentation
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
As of July 31, 2008, the Company has changed its name from Utah Uranium Corp. to Universal Potash Corp. There was no change in share capital and no consolidation of shares associated with this name change. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They may not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB as at March 31, 2008. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2009.
Going Concern
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company has not generated any operating revenues to date. The Company does not have adequate funds to cover overhead expenses for the next year and is in the process of raising additional financing to fund exploration activities on its recently acquired mineral properties.
2. Marketable Securities
The Company received 100,000 common shares of Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. (Abaddon) in fiscal year 2008. Abaddon is a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) (Note 3 (a)). The marketable securities had a cost base of $25,000 and an associated unrealized loss of $7,000, recorded in other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2008. A $2,000 unrealized gain was recognized at June 30, 2008. The net unrealized loss recorded in other comprehensive loss is $5,000 as of June 30, 2008.
3. Mineral Properties
The following summarizes expenditures on the Companys mineral property interests for the three months ended June 30, 2008:

-
$400,000 cash to be paid by June 1, 2010,

Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Overview
We are a natural resource exploration and development company engaged in the exploration and development of properties that may contain uranium minerals in the United States. Recently, we also acquired several potash claims in Alberta, Canada. Our strategy is to acquire properties that are thought to contain economic quantities of either uranium or potash. To date, we have acquired 7,120 acres of mineral claims located in Colorado and Utah, which we intend to explore for economic deposits of uranium. We have also acquired interests in 201,216 hectares of mineral agreements located in the Province of Alberta, which we intend to explore for economic deposits of potash.
The Company is following a business plan that calls for Company representatives to research, negotiate and obtain highly prospective uranium or potash properties, following which the Company intends to enter into Joint Venture agreements to see the properties developed at a minimal cash cost to the Company.
Our principal mineral property is the Ernestina Potash project, located in Alberta, and consisting of 201,216 hectares. We plan to use our exploration data to target additional exploration properties for acquisition. Going forward in the 2009 financial year, we have plans to acquire further acres of mineral properties consisting of claim blocks located in, but not limited to, the western Canada and the United States, which include the states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, with our primary focus in Utah and Colorado. Our ability to complete these acquisitions will be subject to our obtaining sufficient financing and our being able to conclude agreements with the property owners on terms acceptable to us. These potential property acquisitions have not yet been specifically identified.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company has acquired interests in seven mineral properties, summarized in the table below:

Subsequent Events:
The Company has been attempting to permit two drilling operations, on the Wild and the Pinto projects in Utah, since January, 2008. The two drill programs are being financed through joint venture agreements with Consolidated Abaddon Resources Inc. ("Consolidated Abaddon"). To date, the Company has not been successful in obtaining those permits due to a variety of delaying factors in dealing with the Bureau of Land Management. Work has been ongoing in this respect, but the Company has recently received notice from Consolidated Abaddon that due to the lengthy nature of these delays, they no longer wish to proceed with these drill programs. The Company has yet to decide if it will continue with the application process in anticipation of entering into further joint ventures to perform the actual drilling programs.
The Company has also received an extension agreement with Ted Murer regarding the Pinto claims, whereby property payments that were due to Mr. Murer in June, 2008 (and subsequent payments that followed) have all been deferred for a period of one year.
The Company has filed two applications with the Bureau of Land Management for certain grounds located near Moab, Utah. The nature of the applications is firstly for potash leases, on ground that is classified as Known Potash Leasing Areas, which will result in those lands being subject to an auction process which the Company fully intends to participate in. The Bureau of Land Management does not know the specific date that the auction will be held, but have the Company listed as a participant to received advance notice of the date, once established. The Company has also applied for Potash Prospecting Permits in an area just outside the Known Potash Leasing Areas. These permits are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the Company has been advised that the processing of those permits should be complete in late summer, early fall, 2008. The Company also applied for potash leases on grounds north of Moab controlled by the State of Utah, School and Administrative Trusts Branch. The specific grounds are currently the subject of an oil/gas exploratory lease, and as such, the existing lease takes precedent. The specific leaseholders in this situation have been contacted by the State of Utah and have formally requested they be allowed to continue their exploratory work until the spring of 2009. At that time, if the oil/gas exploratory permit is not renewed, then an auction will be held to allow the granting of potash lease permits. The State of Utah, School and Administrative Trusts Branch, has on record our application, and will notify the Company in the event an auction is to be held.
On July 3, 2008, we issued 100,000 common shares in total to the David A. Lacy and Michael B. Lacy (50,000 common shares each), the Optionors on the Whale Property. Also on July 3, 2008, we issued 100,000 common shares to Bob Shupe, the Optionor on the Hoopie Property.
On July 31, 2008, we changed our name to Universal Potash Corp., to better reflect our additional focus. Our new trading symbol is "UPCO".
Cash Requirements
We are a start-up exploration company and must raise cash to implement our business plan. The Company is in the process of acquiring and evaluating mineral properties, therefore our cash requirements over the next twelve months depend to a certain degree on acquisition opportunities, as well as discoveries on our properties. The net of joint venture payment requirements for properties that have been acquired as of June 30, 2008, for the next twelve months is $605,000.
The Company is considering a private placement for September, 2008, in order to augment the current cash balance. By implementing a private placement as such, we would be in a better position to enhance the property portfolio through additional acquisitions. In light of prices for the Uranium, the Company has negotiated with several property vendors to reduce or defer cash requirements looking forward. The Company is attempting to negotiate buy-outs of some of the Uranium properties, with the aim to complete the acquisitions of those assets deemed valuable enough to warrant keeping, while reducing future cash property payments through the issuance of shares.
The Company continues to maintain an office in Moab, Utah, for which monthly rent is $2,000 and operating expenses amount to less than $200 per month. The office is not permanently staffed at this time.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to make any significant equipment purchases over the next twelve months, other than spectrometers and office furnishings and computers.
Employees
Currently our only employees are our directors and officers. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next twelve months. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.

Not applicable
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of June 30, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1), (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will i) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company ii) preparing and
implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report is not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Legal Proceedings.
Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this Annual Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.
