Quaterra Resources Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2020(Unaudited - In U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares)


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY RISK

Quaterra Resources Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Quaterra" or the "Company") is a copper exploration company working on its mineral properties located in Nevada and Alaska, United States. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Its head office is located at 1100 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3T5.

The Company acquires mineral properties by way of option or lease agreements and defers all acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties. The underlying value of the amounts recorded as mineral properties does not reflect current or future values. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability of the Company to acquire new properties and obtain funding to complete the exploration activities.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are 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. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $1,005,000, and along with the proceeds from its ongoing water rights sale, the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to sustain its operations for at least the next 12 months. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is yet to be fully determined, it may have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow in future periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGE

a. Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  The Company's significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates applied in these financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 2 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

b. Accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies, reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Differences may be material.

Judgment is required in assessing whether certain factors would be considered an indicator of impairment. Both internal and external information is considered to determine whether there is an indicator of impairment present and, accordingly, whether impairment testing is required.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company holds 1,942,795 common shares of Grande Portage Resources Ltd. with a market value of $232,801 (December 31, 2019 - $164,542). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a $68,259 gain was recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

4. MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company owns a 100% interest in the MacArthur and Yerington properties, has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Bear, Wassuk, and Butte Valley properties in Nevada, and a 90% interest in Groundhog property in Alaska.

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced two separate purchase and sale agreements to sell certain primary ground water rights to Desert Pearl and Desert Hills Dairy, LLC for $1,880,000, subject to relevant governmental approval.

As of March 31, 2020, total mineral property maintenance and exploration costs are listed in the table below:

a) Bear Deposit, Nevada

The Bear Deposit consists of five option agreements covering private land in Yerington, Nevada. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make approximately $5,423,290 in cash payments over 11 years ($4,644,290 paid) to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights, and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties.

c) Groundhog, Alaska

On April 25, 2017, the Company announced it signed a five-year lease agreement, amended to six years, with Chuchuna Minerals Company ("Chuchuna") to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog copper prospect, located 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. To earn the 90% interest, the Company is required to fund a total of $5,000,000 ($2,331,000 funded) of exploration expenditure and to make a lump sum payment to Chuchuna of $3,000,000 by the end of the sixth year.

The Company is required to fund a minimum of $500,000 each year with excessive funding in any one year carried forward to the following year. The Company had met the annual work commitments up to year-end 2019 and will do so in 2020. The Company can terminate the agreement at its discretion.

d) Butte Valley, Nevada

On August 22, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement with North Exploration, LLC, to earn a 100% interest in 600 unpatented mining claims in White Pine County, Nevada, for $600,000 over five years. North Exploration will retain a 2.5% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased for $1,000,000. A further 0.5% NSR can be purchased within the first ten years for $5,000,000.

On December 3, 2019, the Company entered another option agreement with Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., to purchase a 100% interest in 78 unpatented claims associated with the Butte Valley project, for $250,000 over five years. Nevada Select Royalty will retain a 2% NSR, of which 1% can be purchased by Quaterra for $10,000,000.

Aggregate payments to maintaining the two option agreements by year are as follows:

  • $20,000 due 2019 (paid);
  • $80,000 due in 2020;
  • $100,000 due in 2021;
  • $150,000 due in 2022; and
  • $250,000 each due in 2023 and 2024.

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On August 28, 2018, and September 20, 2018, the Company completed non-brokered private placements in tranches by way of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $550,000 and Canadian dollars ("CAD") CAD 550,000 each. The convertible debentures bear simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in arrears, and mature 18 months from the closing date. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the noteholders, subject to regulatory approvals in the case of share payments.

The principal amount is convertible at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per unit in the first 12 months, and $0.075 or CAD 0.10 thereafter until the maturity date. Each unit is to consist of one common share and one warrant of the Company. Each warrant is to entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per share, expiring August 28, 2022, and September 20, 2022. The convertible notes are secured against the assets of the Company.

In August 2019, $550,000 and CAD 50,000 notes were converted into units at $0.05 and CAD 0.065, comprising 11,769,230 shares and 11,769,230 warrants.

Page 8 | 10

Quaterra Resources Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the three months ended March 31, 2020(Unaudited - In U.S. Dollars; tabular amounts in thousands except for shares)


The remaining principal balance of CAD 500,000 is convertible into units at CAD 0.1 per unit, amended to expire on August 28, 2020. In the event that the Company's water rights sale has not completed by August 28, 2020, the maturity date will be further extended to February 28, 2021. There are no other changes to the term of the convertible notes.

The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and determined the conversion feature is a derivative liability based on the fact the conversion into units could result in a variable number of shares to be issued.

Interest and accretion expense on the convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $31,707 (March 31, 2019 - $77,265).

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The conversion of the remaining convertible notes into units could result in a variable number of shares to be issued; the Company also has certain warrants exercisable in a different currency from the Company's functional currency. The conversion feature and the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

As of March 31, 2020, the derivative liabilities were related to the remaining CAD 500,000 convertible notes and 769,230 warrants with CAD exercise prices and were revalued using the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 105%, the expected term of 2.5 years, a discount rate of 1.69% and a dividend yield of 0%.

7. WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS

a) Share purchase warrants

The Company had the following warrants outstanding:

Expiry date Exercise price March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
August 28, 2022 $ 0.05 11,000,000 11,000,000
September 20, 2022 CAD 0.065 769,230 769,230
11,769,230 11,769,230

b) Stock options

The Company has a stock option plan under which it 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 500,000 stock options exercised at CAD 0.05, including 400,000 exercised on December 31, 2019, which shares were issued on January 3, 2020, due to holiday season.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding by expiry dates with an exercise price in Canadian dollars:

(In U.S. dollars)

Quaterra Resources Inc. MD&A – Quarterly Highlights For the three months ended March 31, 2020

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Quaterra Resources Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Quaterra" or the "Company"), dated May 7, 2020, should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes thereto. These financial statements have been prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. All $ amounts in this MD&A are United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "QTA" and trade on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "QTRRF". Information about mineral resources and risks associated with investing in the Company's securities is contained in the Company's most recently filed 20-F.

Review of Operations and Financial Results

COVID-19 quickly evolved into a worldwide health crisis that caused significant turmoil and heightened uncertainty in the global financial markets. The extent COVID-19 impacts copper demand is highly uncertain and unpredictable. Moreover, the actual and threatened spread of the coronavirus globally could continue to restrict people's movement, adversely affect the financing availability to the Company, may cause impairment indicators to rise in 2020.

The scale and nature of the Company's corporate and administrative activity have remained relatively consistent over the periods presented. Quarterly fluctuation in losses has mainly been caused by interest expenses on convertible notes, non-cash fair value changes in the derivative liabilities, unrealized gain or loss on the marketable securities, and share-based compensation.

Interest expenses were primarily related to the interest accretion on the convertible notes.

The following table sets out the quarterly financial information for each of the last eight quarters:

NOTE TO READER

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (NI 52-109), this Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of

i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer's GAAP.

The issuer's certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate.  Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
