ARDENT MINES LIMITED
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Ardent Mines, Ltd, 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 Ardent's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10−KSB. In the opinion of management, all 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 substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2007 as reported in the Form 10−KSB have been omitted.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

From July 27, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007, Ardent Mines has had no revenues since inception and accumulated losses of $464,005 at December 31, 2007. The ability of Ardent Mines to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. There is no guarantee that Ardent Mines will be able to complete any of the above objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Ardent Mines' ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - RESTATEMENT

In August 2007, the Company issued 8,243,200 shares of common stock valued at $82,432 for a prior fiscal year stock payable, therefore overstating its stock payable as of December 31, 2007 and understating it common stock by $82 and additional paid in capital by $82,350.

The effect of the restatement as of and for the six month period ended December 31, 2007 follows:

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of September 30, 2007, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Management's original determination was that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequently, an accounting error related to the presentation of the issuance of common stock was identified, and the financial statements were restated, indicating the presence of a material weakness. Upon review of the effect that the accounting error and material weakness had on the previous assessment, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer changed their conclusion and determined that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A. Due to this material weakness, the Company, in preparing its restated condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, performed additional procedures relating to accounting for the issuance of common stock to enable it to conclude that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company's processes, procedures and controls related to the presentation of the issuance of common stock were not effective. This material weakness resulted in an accounting error. The error did not affect the Registrant's expenses or cash flow. However, the error did result in the understatement of common stock and additional paid in capital, and overstatement of current liabilities for the interim fiscal period reported in this report, as described in the Note 3 of the Financial Statements herein.

Changes in Internal Controls.

To avoid recurrence of an error such as the one described above, the Company are assessing the appropriateness of technical resources assigned to the engagement and improving documentation.

Other than the change discussed above, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, subsequent to the date of that evaluation.
