NORTHERN MINERALS INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
As at June 30, 2012
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Northern Minerals
Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto contained in Northern Minerals' Form 10-K
filed with SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have
been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to
the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure
contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2012 as reported in the
Form 10-K have been omitted. It is management's opinion that all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods have been
made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
As of June 30, 2012, Northern Minerals has not generated revenues and has
accumulated losses since inception. The continuation of Northern Minerals as a
going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its
shareholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue
operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding Northern Minerals' ability to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE 3. LOAN PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
As of June 30, 2012, $47,800 is owed to Damian O'Hara and is non interest
bearing with no specific repayment terms.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act. The words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "seeks,"
"expects," "intends" and similar expressions identify some of the
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
performance or future results and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
The factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could also cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated by the Company's
forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements.
BUSINESS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Northern Minerals Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 5, 2007
to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource
properties. We are an exploration stage company with no revenues or operating
history.
We received the results of Phase 1 and Phase 1A of the exploration program from
the consulting geologist. The findings were not promising and management
determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders to allow the claim
to lapse. As a result, we are investigating other properties on which
exploration could be conducted and other business opportunities to enhance
shareholder value. During the next twelve months we anticipate spending
approximately $8,500 on professional fees, including fees payable in complying
with reporting obligations, and general administrative costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash in the bank at June 30, 2012 was $967 and outstanding liabilities were
$47,900. We have sold $57,000 in equity securities since inception, $10,000 from
the sale of 2,000,000 shares of stock to our officers and directors, $7,000 from
the issuance of 1,400,000 shares of stock to a director in repayment of the
funds paid by him for the acquisition of the mineral claim and $40,000 from the
sale of 2,000,000 shares registered pursuant to our SB-2 Registration Statement
which became effective on October 12, 2007. If we experience a shortfall of
funds our directors have agreed to continue to loan us funds, however they have
no obligation to do so.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are still in our development stage and have no revenues to date. Our net loss
since inception through June 30, 2012 was $103,933.
We incurred operating expenses of $5,426 and $6,685 for the three months ended
June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These expenses consisted of general
operating expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day to
day operation of our business and the filing of our required statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
If we experience a shortage of funds we may utilize funds from our directors,
who have informally agreed to advance funds, however they have no formal
commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the
company. If they fail to do so we may be required to terminate our business. We
are an exploration stage company and have generated no revenue to date. Through
June 30, 2012 the directors had loaned the company $47,800. Through June 30,
2012 we had sold $57,000 in equity securities to pay for our business
operations. On February 18, 2008, we closed our offering pursuant to a SB-2
8
Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
which became effective on October 12, 2007. We sold 2,000,000 shares of common
stock to 30 unaffiliated shareholders at $.02 per share for total proceeds of
$40,000.
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is
substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next
twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is
because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we
begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach
that point.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we
are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management maintains "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in Northern Minerals' Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an
evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2012.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, that Northern Minerals' disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting
information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes
in Northern Minerals' internal controls over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 30, 2012, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting subsequent
to the date of management's last evaluation.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
The following events were reported on Form 8-K/A as filed on November 3, 2011:
(A) RESIGNATION OF MALCOLM L. POLLARD, INC.
On October 24, 2011, we were notified of the retirement of our principal
independent accountant, Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc., due to his retirement he has
declined to stand for re-election.
Malcolm L. Pollard has served as our principal independent accountant from
November 8, 2010 through October 24, 2011.
The principal independent accountant's report issued by Malcolm L. Pollard for
the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and it was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles, other than their opinion, based on our lack of operations
and our net losses, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that
might have resulted from the outcome of that uncertainty.
We are able to report that during the year ended March 31, 2011 through October
24, 2011 there were no disagreements with Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc., our former
principal independent accountant, on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc.'s satisfaction, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such
periods. We have requested that he furnish us with a letter addressed to the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not he disagrees with
the above statements and he has provided us with a letter that was attached as
Exhibit 16 to the Form 8-K/A.

ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and through October 27, 2011 regarding either: (i)
the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements, or other information provided that was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing,
