MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS <strong>OF</strong> FINANCIAL<br />
CONDITION AND RESULTS <strong>OF</strong> OPERATIONS<br />
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations<br />
(‘‘MD&A’’) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of <strong>Mirabela</strong> and the related notes<br />
thereto included in this prospectus (the ‘‘Financial Statements’’). This discussion is current at the date of this<br />
prospectus. The Financial Statements (and the financial information contained in the related MD&A) were<br />
prepared in accordance with IFRS rather than Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. From<br />
December 31, 2005, Australian financial statements are required under the Australian Corporations Act 2001<br />
(Cth) to be prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to IFRS.<br />
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and<br />
uncertainties. Actual results of the Company could differ materially from those discussed in such forwardlooking<br />
statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this prospectus under<br />
‘‘Forward-Looking Statements’’ and under ‘‘Risk Factors’’.<br />
Overview<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong> is in the exploration and evaluation stage of development and has not yet commenced mining<br />
operations on any of its properties. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have any mining revenues.<br />
Until the successful completion of the proposed development of the Santa Rita Project, the Company is not<br />
expected to have any mining revenues.<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong> currently has no long term debt obligations.<br />
As at March 23, 2007, <strong>Mirabela</strong> had 88,450,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 4,850,000<br />
unlisted options exercisable for an equivalent number of shares, subject to various strike prices, exercise dates<br />
and performance objectives. In addition, on February 27, 2007, <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s board of directors authorized the<br />
grant of 1,800,000 options. However, pursuant to the ASX listing rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the<br />
grant of these options is subject to shareholder approval. As at April 20, 2007 <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s market capitalization<br />
(based on its trading price on the ASX) is approximately A$526 million (approximately A$553 million calculated<br />
on a fully diluted basis including in-the-money options less related option exercise amounts and not including<br />
this Offering).<br />
