1.

Nature of operations and going concern

   

Quaterra Resources Inc. (“Quaterra” or the “Company”) is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious and base metal mineral properties in the United States and Mexico. Quaterra is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“QTA”) and OTCQX. The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 1100 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5. The Company’s registered office is 1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2L3.

   

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The underlying value and the recoverability of the amounts recorded as mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete its acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties or receive proceeds from joint venture partners’ contributions. The carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties does not reflect current or future values.

   

The Company incurred a net loss of $467,659 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (March 31, 2013 - $266,044). As at March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit $92,267,179 with a working capital deficiency of $608,627.

   

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its commitments as they become due, including completion of the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties, is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing. Although management is confident that it will be able to raise sufficient funds there is no assurance at the date these condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved that these financing initiatives will be successful. The lack of sufficient committed funding for the next 12 months indicates a material uncertainty, which casts substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

   

Management is in the process of raising additional capital to finance operations through equity financing, joint venture partner arrangements, corporate transaction, and/or proceeds from disposal of its interests in certain mineral properties.

   

The business of mining exploration involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that current exploration projects will result in future profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead, pay its liabilities, and maintain its mineral interests.

   

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on May 12, 2014.

   
2.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

   

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for complete annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board effective as at March 31, 2014 and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the notes thereto.

Mineral properties, continued

     

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties in North America. Exploration programs are carried out through the Company’s management expertise and the use of consultants and contractors. Continuation of these programs is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional funds from the market and continuing participation of its exploration partners.

     
a)

MacArthur Property, Nevada

     

Pursuant to an agreement dated September 13, 2005, and subsequently amended, with North Exploration LLC, the Company acquired the right to earn an interest in certain unpatented mining claims covering the former MacArthur copper-oxide mine, in the Yerington Mining District of Lyon County, Nevada. The Company may elect to acquire the property by making the following staged payments totaling US$2,207,000, of which $424,000 was outstanding as of March 31, 2014:


  (i)

US$635,000 and 150,000 shares by January 15, 2010 (paid and issued)

  (ii)

  (vi)

US$212,000 plus interest by January 15, 2015


 

The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), which may be reduced to 1% for US$1,000,000.

     
  b)

Bear Copper Deposit, Nevada

     
 

Pursuant to an exclusive exploration agreement with Desert Pearl Farms, LLC on March 20, 2013, the Company paid US$125,000 for an option to purchase the surface rights, mineral rights and surface water rights to the Hunewill Ranch property in Lyon County, Nevada. To earn the exclusive right to conduct mineral exploration on the property, the Company is required to make total payments of US$1,480,000 over eight years.

     
  c)

Wassuk Copper Project, Nevada

     
 

On May 26, 2011, the Company entered into a mining lease with an option to purchase agreement with Majuba Mining Ltd. to earn an interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Lyon County, Nevada, for US$1.61 million:

Mineral properties, continued

     
c)

Wassuk Copper Project, Nevada, continued

     

The Company is required to incur a total of US$300,000 exploration work on or before May 26, 2014 and any difference between the actual expenditures and US$300,000 is required to be paid in the event that less than US$300,000 is so incurred. The Company is in process of renegotiating the terms of this option agreement.

     

The project is subject to a 3% NSR upon commencing commercial production of which 1% can be bought for US$1,500,000.

     
d)

Nieves Silver Concessions, Mexico

The Company owns equal interest in the Nieves silver property located in northern Zacatecas, Mexico with its US-based joint venture partner, Blackberry Ventures 1, LLC (“Blackberry”). All work plans are made in consultation with the joint venture partner, Blackberry, which contributes its share of ongoing exploration costs plus a 10% administration fee. As at March 31, 2014, Blackberry owed $4,122 (December 31, 2013 - $49,468) for their share of exploration expenditures incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Nieves concessions are subject to a maximum 3% NSR to the original concession holders, which the Company may purchase at any time for US$2,000,000. In addition, Kennecott Exploration Company, the optionor in the initial Underlying Agreement, retained a 2% NSR on certain core claims and 1% on certain peripheral claims. On January 24, 2007, this NSR was purchased by Royal Gold Inc. Commencing January 26, 2004, an AMR payment of US$75,000 is due to the concession holders until the commencement of commercial production.

Derivative liability – warrants

   

On September 13, 2013, the Company issued 29,810,000 share purchase warrants as part of a private placement offering (Note 8). As these warrants have an exercise price denominated in a currency that is different from the Company’s functional currency, they are classified as derivative liabilities and carried at their fair values. Any changes in the fair value from period to period are recorded in profit or loss.

   

The fair value of each warrant was estimated to be US$0.089 on the date issued and subsequently re-measured at March 31, 2014 to be US$0.03 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming an expected volatility of 113%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.02%, a dividend yield of 0% and an expected term of 2.5 years.

   

Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility, which was determined based on the historical volatility over the estimated life of the warrants. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

   

The following table sets out the changes in derivative liability warrants:


      Number of     Fair value     Weighted Average  
      Warrants     assigned     Exercise Price  
  At December 31, 2012   6,541,571   $ 774,673     USD0.53  
  Issuance of derivative warrants   29,810,000     2,781,003     USD0.15  
  Change in fair value estimates         (2,363,892 )      
  At December 31, 2013   36,351,571     1,191,784     USD0.22  
  Change in fair value estimates         (212,529 )      
  At March 31, 2014   36,351,571   $ 979,255     USD0.22

Share-based payments

     
a)

Stock options

     

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”), which is approved by the shareholders annually. The Plan is designed to attract and retain individuals and to reward them for current and expected future performance. Options generally are granted for a maximum term of five years and expire 90 days following the termination of the optionee’s agreement. The exercise price for the options is set at the closing market price of the common shares on the grant date. The vesting period of options vary with terms determined by the board of directors. Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to grant stock options of up to 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding of the Company at any given time.

     

The following table presents changes in stock options outstanding and exercisable:

 
      March 31, 2014     December 31, 2013

    Total stock options outstanding               16,040,000     16,310,000  

The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding and exercisable March 31, 2014 was 2.48 (December 31, 2013 – 2.73) years and 2.40 (December 31, 2013 – 2.65) years, respectively.

The Company has used the same assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value the options granted in 2013 for the options vested in the current period.

Volatility was determined based on the historical volatility over the estimated lives of the options.

The share-based payments expense of $7,587 in the current period reflected the vesting for the stock options granted to a director and officer in 2013; no share-based payment expense was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Financial instruments

   

The Company designates the fair value of financial instruments according to the following:


Level 1 -

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 -

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 -

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of risks arising from financial instruments. These risks and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing these risks are disclosed as follows.

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Cash – as held for trading
Restricted cash, amounts due from exploration partners and reclamation bonds – as loans and receivables
Marketable securities – available for sale
Accounts payable and loan payable – other financial liabilities

Fair value

   

The Company’s marketable securities measured at fair value were categorized in Level 1 at $3,500 (2013 - $4,167). The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is based on active market prices at the reporting date.

   

The derivative liability is measured at fair value and categorized in Level 2 at $979,255 (2013 - $1,191,784). The fair value of the derivative liability is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model inputs disclosed in Note 7, as determined at the reporting date.

   

The recorded amount for cash, restricted cash, amount due from exploration partners, amounts due from and to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the reclamation bonds approximate their fair values, as these balances are redeemable on demand.
