D. Risk factors. The operations of the Company involve a number of substantial risks and an investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative in nature. The following risk factors should be considered:

History of Losses; No Assurance of Profitability

The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2008 was $321,495 as compared to $255,827 for the year ending December 31, 2007 an increase of $65,668.

The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2007 was $ 255,827as compared to the net loss of $344,752 for the year ending December 31, 2006 a decrease of $88,925.

The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2006 was $344,752 as compared to net income of $289,238 for 2005. The difference of $633,990 is the result of the gain on the sale of the West Thrifty Unit in 2005 of $416,320 and a one time management fee of $154,000 paid to a current director and officer for the Corporation in 2006. This transaction was in the normal course of operations and was measured at the exchange value which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

6

Although the company reported income of $289,238 for the year ended December 31, 2005, it was the direct result of the sale of its West Thrifty Unit. The gain on the sale was $416,320.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $194,909 which is an increase of $181,261 a result of decreased production at the West Thrifty Unit.

In 2003, the Company had a loss of $13,648. The decrease from 2002 of $98,351 is primarily due to the sale of 32% of the Company's interest in the West Thrifty Unit.

The Company has accumulated losses of US $12,342,356 since inception.

Extreme Volatility of Coal and Gas Prices

Sharpe's revenues have been dependent upon prevailing prices for coal and gas. Coal and gas prices can be extremely volatile and are affected by the action of foreign governments and international cartels.

In addition, the marketability and profitability of coal and natural gas acquired or discovered is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Sharpe. Any material decline in prices could result in a reduction of Sharpe's net production revenue. These factors include reservoir characteristics, market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment and government regulation.

Highly Competitive Industry

The coal and natural gas industry is competitive in all its phases. Sharpe competes with numerous other participants in the search for, and the acquisition of, coal and natural gas properties and in the marketing of coal and natural gas. Sharpe's competitors include coal companies, which have far greater financial and other resources, staff and facilities than those of Sharpe. Competitive factors in the distribution and marketing of coal and natural gas include price, methods of delivery and reliability of delivery.

No Assurance of Discoveries or Acquisitions

Coal and natural gas acquisition, exploration and development involve many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of coal or natural gas will be discovered or acquired by Sharpe.

Uncertainty of Warrant Exercises; Need for Additional Capital

There is no assurance that any of the outstanding share purchase warrants or options will be exercised. Even if all of the outstanding share purchase warrants and options are exercised, Sharpe may still require additional capital to conduct its acquisition, exploration and development activities.

Effect of Outstanding Warrants and Options; Negative Effect of Substantial Sales

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 3,780,000 Common Shares. The exercise prices of the outstanding options are Cdn. $0.10. The expiration dates of the outstanding options range from May 8, 2008 to May 8, 2013. At December 31, 2008 the Company had no warrants outstanding. All of the foregoing securities represent the right to acquire Common Shares of the Company during various periods of time and at various prices. Holders of these securities are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Shares and are likely to exercise

7

its securities at a time when the Company would be able to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms. Substantial sales of Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of such options and warrants could have a negative effect on the market price for the Common Shares.

No Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Regulation

The Company's coal and gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the Company's cost of doing business and affects its profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, the Company is unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws.

The State of Texas and many other states require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. Such states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. The statutes and regulations of certain states limit the rate at which oil and gas can be produced from the Company's properties.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions, which affect the marketing of gas produced by the Company, as well as the revenues received by the Company for sales of such production. Since the mid-1980s, the FERC has issued a series of orders, culminating in Order Nos. 636, 636-A and 636B ("Order 636"), that have significantly altered the marketing and transportation of gas. Order 636 mandates a fundamental restructuring of interstate pipelines sales and transportation service, including the unbundling by interstate pipelines of the sales, transportation, storage and other components of the city-gate sales services such pipelines previously performed. One of the FERC's purposes in issuing the orders is to increase competition within all phases of the gas industry. Order 636 and subsequent FERC orders on rehearing have been appealed and are pending judicial review. Because these orders may be modified as a result of the appeals, it is difficult to predict the ultimate impact of the orders on the Company and its gas marketing efforts. Generally, Order 636 has eliminated or substantially reduced the interstate pipelines' traditional role as wholesalers of natural gas, and has substantially increased competition and volatility in natural gas markets. While significant uncertainty remains, Order 636 may ultimately enhance the Company's ability to market and transport its gas, although it may also subject the Company to greater competition and the more restrictive pipeline imbalance tolerances and greater associated penalties for violation of such tolerances.

Industry Conditions

Sales of oil and natural gas liquids by the Company are not regulated and are made at market prices. The price the Company receives from the sale of these products is affected by the cost of transporting the

8

products to market. Effective as of January 1, 1995, the FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transpiration rates for oil pipelines, which, generally would index such rates to inflation, subject to certain condition and limitations. These regulations could increase the cost of transporting oil and natural gas liquids by pipeline, although the most recent adjustment generally decreased rates. These regulations are subject to pending petitions for judicial review. The Company is not able to predict with certainty what effect, if any, these regulations will have on it, but, other factors being equal, the regulations may, over time, tend to increase transportation costs or reduce wellhead prices for oil and natural gas liquids.

Environmental Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to environmental regulation pursuant to local, state and federal legislation. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain oil and natural gas industry operations. In addition, legislation requires that well and facility sites be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities and the landowner. A breach of such regulations and legislation may result in the imposition of fines, penalties, clean-up orders and can affect the location of wells and facilities and the extent to which oil and gas exploration and development is permitted. Non-compliance with these regulations and legislation can be sufficient cause for governmental authorities to withhold approval of drilling and/or operating permits. Sharpe is in material compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the disposal site or the site where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Persons who are responsible for releases of hazardous substances found at the site and persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Company is able to control directly the operation of only those wells with respect to which it acts as operator. Notwithstanding the Company's lack of control over wells operated by others, the failure of the operator to comply with applicable environmental regulations may, in certain circumstances, be attributed to the Company. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures to comply with existing environmental requirements.

Risk Inherent to Sharpe's Proposed Mining Activities

1. Sharpe is engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring coal and other mineral properties in the hope of locating an economic deposit or deposits of minerals. The property interests of the Company are in the exploration stage only and are without a known body of commercial ore. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any revenues or be profitable or that the Company will be successful in locating an economic deposit of minerals.
2. There are a number of uncertainties inherent in any exploration and development program, including the location of economic coal deposits, the development of appropriate metallurgical processes, the receipt of necessary governmental permits, and the construction of mining and processing

9

facilities. Substantial expenditures will be required to pursue such exploration and development activities. Assuming discovery of an economic ore body, and depending on the type of mining operation involved, several years may elapse from the initial stages of development until commercial production is commenced. New mining operations frequently experience unexpected problems during the exploration and development stages and during the initial production phase. In addition, preliminary reserve estimates may prove inaccurate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's current exploration and development programs will result in any commercial mining operations.

3. The Company may become subject to liability for cave-ins and other hazards of mineral exploration against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons. Payment of such liabilities would reduce funds available for acquisition of mineral prospects or exploration and development and would have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Title to Properties

The validity of unpatented mining claims on public lands, mineral leases and purchased mineral rights is often uncertain and may be contested and subject to title defects.

Conflict of Interest

Certain directors and officers of the Company are also directors and officers of other natural resource and base metal exploration and development companies. As a result, conflicts may arise between the obligations of these directors to the Company and to such other companies.

Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company's success will be dependent upon the services of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roland Larsen.

Item 4. Information on the Company

A. History and development of the company

Sharpe Resources Corporation (the "Company" or "Sharpe") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on April 10, 1980 under the name "Sharpe Energy & Resources Limited". By Articles of Amendment dated November 2, 1984, the Company amended its authorized capital to consist of an unlimited number of common shares and removed restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of such shares. By Articles of Amendment dated July 29, 1996, the Company changed its name to Sharpe Resources Corporation.

Sharpe entered the oil and gas business in the United States in early 1994. In 1995, it acquired working and net revenue interests in over 400 oil and gas wells on 250 properties in 11 states and the West Thrifty waterflood project in Texas. These assets were acquired from the oil and gas division of Figgie International Inc. and were located primarily in the Rocky Mountain and Southwestern United States regions. In 1996, Sharpe sold almost all of its Rocky Mountain interests. In early 1997, Sharpe acquired interests in the Matagorda offshore project.

10

In 2001, the Company sold all of its offshore, Gulf of Mexico natural gas production and several non-operated onshore petroleum and natural gas properties. In 2002 the Company focused its efforts on its remaining properties in Texas. In 2003, the Company sold 32% of its interest in the West Thrifty Unit Texas properties. The purchaser also took over operations on the properties.

In June, 2005, the company sold its remaining 62% revenue and working interests in the West Thrifty Unit located in Brown County, Texas.

As of May 15, 2006, the Corporation changed its focus away from the Texas oil and gas business to exploration and development for mineral resources and oil and gas in the western US and a focus on coal, coal bed methane and shale gas projects in the northeastern US.

B. Business overview.

In May 2006, the Corporation changed its focus away from Texas based oil and gas business to mineral exploration and development in the western US and coal bed methane and shale gas projects in the northeastern US. The Company had been a resource company engaged in oil and gas exploration, and production in the United States since the early 1990's. This effort included the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in the United States. However, in 2005, the Company sold its remaining oil and gas properties.

C. Organizational structure.

The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Sharpe Energy Company, which is incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Virginia. The Company's operations in Canada consist of general and administrative expenses necessary to the maintaining of the Company's public company status.

The terms "Sharpe" or the "Company", as used in this annual report on Form 20-F, refers to Sharpe or the Company and it's wholly owned subsidiaries collectively.

D. Property, plants and equipment.

The registered office of Sharpe Resources Corporation is located at 56 Temperance Street, Fourth Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5G 2V5. The principal office is located at 3258 Mob Neck Road, Heathsville, Virginia 22473.

West Thrifty - Brown County, Texas

The remaining producing property owned by the Company was its West Thrifty project. The Company had a 100% working interest in this property however, in 2003, the Company sold 32% of its interest and the purchaser took over operation of the property. In June, 2005, the Company sold its remaining revenue and working interests in this property.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

A. Operating results.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007

The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2008 was $321,495 as compared to the net loss of $255,827 for the year ending December 31, 2007 an increase of $65,668. Operating expenses decreased by $24,386 however General and Administrative expenses increased by $38,705. There was an increase

11

of $98,641 in Stock-option compensation from $90,232 for the year ending December 31, 2007 to $188,873 for the year ending December 31, 2008. On May 8, 2008, the Corporation granted options to purchase a total of 1,700,000 common shares to directors and officers of the Corporation. The options are exercisable at $0.10 (Canadian) and expire on May 8, 2013. For the purposes of the 1,700,000 options, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 161.3%; risk-free interest rate of 3.04% and an expected average life of 5 years. The estimated value of $188,873 was recorded as a debit to stock-option compensation and a credit to contributed surplus.

Revenue increased from $8,606 for the year ending December 31, 2007 to $39,604 for the year ending December 31, 2008 and represents interest income and various small override interests in petroleum and natural gas properties.

On January 7, 2008, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Standard Energy Corporation ("Standard"). Standard's primary asset includes 100% ownership interest in all of the coal seams on more than 17,000 acres in Preston County, West Virginia. Details of the proposed acquisition are included in Note 10(a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006. The purchase price consists of the forgiveness of the repayment of US $250,000 demand promissory note owing from Standard to the Corporation and the issuance of 2 million shares of the Corporation's common stock.

On June 12, 2008, the Corporation announced that RSM has reached an agreement in principle with the Corporation to jointly develop and operate a number of coal projects. To enter into the transaction RSM has agreed in principle to advance to the project up to $2 million to facilitate the startup.

Roland M. Larsen is the Chief Executive Officer of both RSM and the Corporation. In order to conduct the negotiations and settlement of definitive agreements in this connection, the board of RSM has appointed an independent committee of directors to evaluate finalize and recommend the transaction to the Board of Directors of RSM if warranted. It is anticipated that the business will operate as a joint venture between the companies at least at the outset. A joint venture agreement was completed and executed by both Boards' of Directors on November 12, 2008.

In an effort to achieve diversity within its natural resource portfolio RSM has entered into the joint venture program mentioned above focused initially on the eastern Kentucky coal fields with the Corporation.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, or if appointed, by a special committee of Directors appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (such committee, or if no such committee is appointed, the Board of Directors of the Company, is hereinafter referred to as the "Committee") pursuant to rules of procedure fixed by the Board of Directors.

(a)

the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, subject to adjustment as set forth in section 10 hereof, and further subject to the applicable rules and regulations of all regulatory authorities.

the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, within a one-year period, to any one Optionee shall not exceed 5% of the Outstanding Common Shares;

(d)

the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, within a one-year period, to Employees or Consultants conducting Investor Relations Activities may not exceed 2% of the Outstanding Common Shares; and

Compensation Policy

The executive compensation policy of the Company is determined with a view to securing the best possible talent to run the Company. Executives expect to reap additional income from the appreciation in the value of the Common Shares they hold in the Company, including stock options.

20

Salaries are commensurate with those in the industry with additional options awarded to executive officers in lieu of higher salaries. Bonuses may be paid in the future for significant and specific achievements, which have a strategic impact on the fortunes of the Company. Salaries and bonuses are determined on a judgmental basis after review by the board of directors of the contribution of each individual, including the executive officers of the Company. Although they may be members of the board of directors, the executive officers do not individually make any decisions with respect to their respective salary or bonus. In certain cases, bonuses of certain individuals, other than the executive officers, may be tied to specific criteria put in place at the time of engagement.

The grant of stock options under the Company's Stock Option Plan is designed to give each option holder an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term and to reward employees for both past and future performance. Individual grants are determined by an assessment of an individual's current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities and the importance of his/her position with and contribution to the Company.

C. Board practices.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors

The Board recognizes it is responsible for the stewardship of the business and affairs of the Company and has adopted a set of principles and practices setting out its stewardship responsibilities. Under its mandate, the Board seeks to discharge such responsibility by reviewing, discussing and approving the Company's strategic planning and organizational structure, and supervising management to ensure that the foregoing enhance and preserve the underlying value of the Company for the benefit of all shareholders. As part of the strategic planning process, the Board contributes to the development of a strategic direction for the Company by reviewing, on an annual basis, the Company's principal opportunities, the processes that are in place to identify such opportunities and the full range of business risks facing the Company, including strategic, financial, operational, leadership, partnership and reputation risks. On an ongoing basis, the Board also reviews with management how the strategic environment is changing, what key business risks and opportunities are appearing and how they are managed, including the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks and opportunities. The performance of management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is also supervised to ensure that the affairs of the Company are conducted in an ethical manner. The Board, directly and through its committees, ensures that the Company puts in place, and reviews at least on an annual basis, comprehensive communication policies to address how the Company

(i) interacts with analysts, investors, other key stakeholders and the public, and (ii) complies with its continuous and timely disclosure obligations. Finally, the Board monitors the integrity of corporate internal control procedures and management information systems to manage such risks and ensure that the value of the underlying asset base is not eroded.

The Board from time to time delegates to senior executives the authority to enter into certain types of transactions, including financial transactions, subject to specified limits. According to the Company's policy, investments and other similar expenditures above the specified limits, including major capital projects as well as material transactions outside the ordinary course of business, whether on or off balance sheet, are reviewed by, and subject to, the prior approval of the Board.

21

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Following are the principles of the Company's corporate governance arrangements:

• Subject to the relatively small size of the Company and to business needs, the size of the Board must be kept to a sufficiently low number to facilitate open and effective dialogue and full participation and contribution of each Director.
• The Board must function as a cohesive team, with shared responsibilities and accountabilities that are clearly defined, understood and respected.
• The Board must have the ability to exercise all its supervisory responsibilities independent of any influence by management.
• The Board must have access to all the information needed to carry out its full responsibilities. Information must be available in a timely manner and in a format conducive to effective decision making.
• The Board must develop, implement, and measure effective corporate governance practices, processes and procedures.

Election of Directors and Officers

The Company's articles provide for a minimum of three and a maximum of seven directors, to be elected yearly and to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. The whole board is elected at each annual meeting, and all directors then in office must retire, but, if qualified, are eligible for re-election. If an election of directors is not held at the proper time, the directors continue in office until their successors are elected or appointed. Each officer continues to hold office until the appointment of officers at the first meeting of the board of directors after the election of directors and, in default of the appointment of officers at such meeting, continues to hold office after such meeting. In the absence of written agreements to the contrary, the board may remove at its pleasure any officer of the Company.

Committees of the Board

There are currently two committees of the board of directors. The board does not have, nor does it currently intend to form, a nominating committee. It is the view of the board of directors that its current size (three) is small enough to make such additional committees counter productive. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings of the board, its members are in continuous contact with one another and with the members of senior management. If the size of the board were to be enlarged or if the Company were to undergo a substantial change in its business and operations, consideration would at that point be given to the formation of additional committees, including a nominating committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The charter of the Corporation's audit committee charter is as follows:

1. Establishment of Audit Committee: The board of directors of the Corporation hereby establishes a committee to be called the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:

22

a) Identify and monitor the management of the principal risks that could impact the financial reporting of the Corporation;
b) Monitor the integrity of the Corporation's financial reporting process and system of internal controls regarding financial reporting and accounting compliance;
c) Monitor the independence and performance of the Corporation's external auditors;
d) Provide an avenue of communication among the external auditors, management and the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities, and it has direct access to the external auditors as well as anyone in the organization. The Audit Committee has the ability to retain, at the Corporation's expense, special legal, accounting, or other consultants or experts it deems necessary in the performance of its duties.

2. Membership: The Audit Committee will be comprised of three or more directors as determined by the Board and the make-up of which shall satisfy applicable independence requirements of applicable securities regulatory authorities. Members shall be appointed annually from among the members of the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Audit Committee shall be appointed by the board of directors. All members of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate. An Audit Committee member who is not financially literate may be appointed to the Audit Committee provided that the member becomes financially literate within a reasonable period of time. The following board members have been appointed to serve on the Audit Committee as follows:

Kimberly L. Koerner (Chair)

Roland Larsen

Troy Koerner

3. The role of the Audit Committee is to provide oversight, and, in such a role, it has the powers set forth in this Charter. While being financially literate, the members of the Committee are generally not accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing and, in any event, do not serve in such capacity. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate or are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations and to assure compliance with any laws and regulations and the Company's business conduct guidelines. These matters are the responsibility of management and, in certain cases, the external auditor.

4. Mandate: The Audit Committee shall, in addition to any other duties and responsibilities specifically assigned or delegated to it from time to time by the board of directors:

a) Meet with the independent external auditors (the "auditors") and the senior management of the Corporation to review the year-end audited financial statements of the Corporation which require approval by the board of directors, prior to the issuance of any press release in respect thereof;
b) Review with senior management and, if necessary, the auditors, the interim financial statements of the Corporation prior to the issuance of any press release in respect thereof;
c) Review the MD&A and press releases containing financial results of the Corporation;
d) Review all prospectuses, material change reports and annual information forms;

23

e) Review the audit plans and the independence of the auditors;
f) Meet with the auditors independently of management;
g) In consultation with senior management, review annually and recommend for approval by the board of directors:

(i)   the appointment of auditors at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Corporation;

(ii)  the remuneration of the auditors; and
(iii) pre-approve all non audit services to be provided to the Corporation by the external auditor;

h) review with the auditors:

(i)   the scope of the audit;

(ii)  significant changes in the Corporation's accounting principles, practices or policies; and

(iii) new developments in accounting principles, reporting matters or industry practices which may materially affect the financial statements of the Corporation;

i) review with the auditors and senior management the results of the annual audit, and make appropriate recommendations to the board of directors, having regard to, among other things:

(i)   the financial statements;

(ii)  management's discussion and analysis and related financial disclosure contained in continuous disclosure documents;

(iii) significant changes, if any, to the initial audit plan;

(iv) accounting and reporting decisions relating to significant current year events and transactions;

(v)  the audit findings report and management letter, if any, outlining the auditors' findings and recommendations, together with management's response, with respect to internal controls and accounting procedures; and

(vi) any other matters relating to the conduct of the audit, including the review and opportunity to provide comments in respect of any press releases announcing year end financial results prior to issue and such other matters which should be communicated to the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards;

j) Review with the auditors the adequacy of management's internal control procedures and management information systems and inquiring of management and the auditors about significant risks and exposures to the Corporation that may have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's financial statements, and inquiring of the auditors as to the efforts of management to mitigate such risks and exposures;
k) Monitor policies and procedures for reviewing directors' and officers' expenses and perquisites, and inquire about the results of such reviews;
l) Review and approve written risk management policies and guidelines including the effectiveness of the overall process for identifying the principal risks affecting financial reporting;
m) Review issues relating to legal, ethical and regulatory responsibilities to monitor management's efforts to ensure compliance Including any legal matters that could have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements, the Corporation's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and inquiries received from regulators of governmental agencies; and,

b.

the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the issuer of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

4. Administrative Matters: The following general provisions shall have application to the Audit Committee:

a) A quorum of the Audit Committee shall be the attendance of two members thereof present in person or by telephone. No business may be transacted by the Audit Committee except at a meeting of its members at which a quorum of the Audit Committee is present or by a resolution in writing signed by all the members of the Audit Committee. Meetings of the Audit Committee shall be held at least annually and more often as the Chair of the Audit Committee may determine;

b) Any member of the Audit Committee may be removed or replaced at any time by resolution of the directors of the Corporation. A member of the Audit Committee shall ipso facto cease to be a member of the Audit Committee upon ceasing to be a director of the Corporation. The board of directors, upon recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, may fill vacancies on the Audit Committee by appointment from among its members. If and whenever a vacancy shall exist on the Audit Committee, the remaining members may exercise all its powers so long as a quorum remains. Subject to the foregoing, each member of the Audit Committee shall hold such office until the close of the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Corporation next following the date of appointment as a member of the Audit Committee or until a successor is duly appointed. Any member of the board of directors who has served as a member of the Audit Committee may be re-appointed as a member of the Audit Committee following the expiration of his term;

c) The Audit Committee may invite such officers, directors and employees of the Corporation as it may see fit from time to time to attend at meetings of the Audit Committee and to assist thereat in the discussion of matters being considered by the Audit Committee.

e) The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Audit Committee and shall have a second and deciding vote in the event of a tie, provided that, in the event of a tie vote when only two members of the Audit Committee are present at a particular meeting, the matter shall be resolved by a future vote of members of the Audit Committee at which more than two members are present. In the absence of the Chair, the other members of the Audit Committee shall appoint one of their members to act as Chair for the particular meeting;

f) Notice of meetings of the Audit Committee may be given to the auditor of the Corporation and shall be given in respect of meetings relating to the annual audited financial statements.

Audit Committee to consider any matters which the auditor believes should be brought to the attention of the directors or shareholders of the Corporation;

The Board of Directors may, from time to time, permit departures from the terms hereof, either prospectively or retrospectively, and no provision contained herein is intended to give rise to civil liability to shareholders of the Company or other liability whatsoever.

Corporate Governance Committee

The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the development, maintenance, and disclosure of the Company's corporate governance practices. The mandate of the committee includes:

• developing criteria governing the size and overall composition of the Board;
• conducting an annual review of the structure of the Board and its committees, as well as of the mandates of such committees;
• recommending new nominees for the Board (in consultation with the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer); and
• recommending the compensation of directors
• ensuring that the Company's policy on disclosure and insider trading, including communication to the different stakeholders about the Company and its subsidiaries, documents filed with securities regulators, written statements made in documents pertaining to the Company's continuous disclosure obligations, information contained on the Company's Web site and other electronic communications, relationships with investors, the media and analysts is timely, factual and accurate, and broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The committee also coordinates the annual evaluation of the Board, the committees of the Board and individual directors. All issues identified through this evaluation process are then discussed by the

26

Corporate Governance Committee and are reported to the Board. Finally, it also has the responsibility for annually initiating a discussion at the Board level on the performance evaluation and remuneration of the President and Chief Executive Officer.

Conflicts of Interest

Some of the directors and officers of the Company also serve as directors and officers of other companies involved in the resource exploration sector. Consequently, there exists a possibility for any such officer or director to be placed in a position of conflict. Each such director or officer is subject to fiduciary duties and obligations to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company.

Similar duties and obligations will apply to such other companies. Thus any future transaction between the Company and such other companies will be for bona fide business purposes and approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company.

D. Employees.

In addition to the officers and directors, the Company has one part-time administrative assistant.

B. Significant Changes.

a) On December 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% interest in Standard. Standard is a private company related by virtue of its ownership by an officer and director of the Company. Standard's primary asset includes 100% ownership in all of the coal seams on more than 17,000 acres in Preston County, West Virginia.

29

The purchase price consists of the forgiveness of the repayment of US $250,000 demand promissory note owing from Standard to the Company and the issuance of 2 million shares of the Company's common stocks. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and as of March 31, 2009, the business combination has not been so approved.

b) On June 12, 2008, the Company announced that Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM") has reached a letter of intent agreement in principle with the Company to jointly develop and operate a number of coal projects. To enter into the transaction RSM has agreed in principle to advance to the projects up to $2 million to facilitate the startup.

Roland M. Larsen is the Chief Executive Officer of both RSM and the Company.

In an effort to achieve diversity within its natural resource portfolio RSM has entered into the joint venture program mentioned above focused initially on the eastern Kentucky coal fields with the Company. The joint venture will involve the opportunity for RSM to earn a 50% interest in coal projects that Standard has acquired or holds under option agreements. RSM can earn its 50% interest by advancing four projects to production over the next 12 months.

The agreement was approved and executed by both Boards of Directors on November 12, 2008. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and as of March 31, 2009 the joint venture has not been so approved.

Item 9. The Offer and Listing

A. Offer and listing details.

The authorized capital of the Company consists of (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares and (ii) an unlimited number of preferred shares. The Common Shares are the only class of securities which are the subject of this registration statement on Form 20-F.

The Common Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable, carry one vote at all meetings of shareholders (except meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote), participate ratably in any dividend declared by the directors, subject to the rights of holders of any shares ranking prior to the Common Shares, carry the right to receive a proportionate share of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of the Common Shares in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. The Common Shares do not carry any pre-emptive rights or voting rights.

On May 10, 1998, the shareholders of the Company approved by the requisite vote an amendment to the Company's articles to increase the authorized capital of the Company by the creation of an unlimited number of preferred shares. The preferred shares are issuable in series and authorize the directors of the Company to fix the number of shares in, and determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of each series. As of December 31, 2008, no series has been designated by the board of directors of the Company.

There are no laws or regulations, which would impose voting restrictions on non-resident shareholders.

(See Item 10. E. - Taxation.)

32

There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the Articles or other charter documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote Common Shares, other than as provided by the Investment Canada Act (Canada) as amended, including as amended by the World Trade Organization Implementation Act (Canada). The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadians who propose to acquire Common Shares.

The Investment Canada Act (the "Act") enacted on June 20, 1985, as amended, including as amended by the World Trade Organization Implementation Act (Canada), requires notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a "non-Canadian" of "control" of a "Canadian business," all as defined in the Act. "Non-Canadian" generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or a Corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians. For purposes of the Act, "control" can be acquired through the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets used in the Canadian business, or the direct or indirect acquisition of voting interests or shares in an entity that carries on a Canadian business or which controls the entity which carries on the Canadian business whether or not the controlling entity is Canadian. Under the Act, control of a Corporation is deemed to be acquired through the acquisition of a majority of the voting shares of a Corporation, and is presumed to be acquired where at least one-third, but less than a majority, of the voting shares of a Corporation or of an equivalent undivided ownership interest in the voting shares of a Corporation are acquired unless it can be established that the Corporation is not controlled in fact through the ownership of voting shares. Other rules apply with respect to the acquisition of non-corporate entities.

All investments to acquire control of a Canadian business are notifiable, unless they are reviewable. Investments requiring review and approval include: (i) a direct acquisition of control of a Canadian business with assets with a value of Cdn. $5,000,000 or more; (ii) an indirect acquisition of control of a Canadian business where the value of the assets of the Canadian business and of all other Canadian entities the control of which is acquired directly or indirectly is Cdn. $50,000,000 or more; and (iii) an indirect acquisition of control of a Canadian business and of all other Canadian entities the control of which is acquired directly or indirectly is Cdn. $5,000,000 or more and represents greater than 50% of the total value of the assets of all of the entities, control of which is being acquired. Subject to certain exceptions, where an investment is made by a "WTO Investor" (generally, nationals or permanent residents of World Trade Organization member states, or entities controlled by residents or nationals of WTO member states) or the Canadian business is controlled by a WTO Investor, the monetary thresholds discussed above are higher. In these circumstances the monetary threshold with regard to direct acquisitions is Cdn. $160,000,000 in constant 1995 dollars as determined in accordance with the Act. Indirect acquisitions of Canadian businesses by or from WTO Investors are not subject to review. The United States is a WTO member state.

Special rules apply with respect to investments by non-Canadians (including WTO Investors) to acquire control of Canadian businesses that engage in certain specified activities, including financial services, transportation services and activities relating to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity.

If an investment is reviewable, an application for review in the form prescribed by regulation is normally required to be filed with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada prior to the

33

investment taking place and the investment may not be normally implemented until the review has been completed and ministerial approval obtained.

The Investment Review Division will submit the application for review to the Minister of Industry (Canada), together with any other information or written undertakings given by the acquirer and any representations submitted to the division by a province that is likely to be significantly affected by the investment. The Minister will then determine whether the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada," taking into account the information provided and having regard to certain factors of assessment prescribed under the Act. Among the factors considered are: (i) the effect of the investment on the nature and level of economic activity in Canada, including the effect on employment, on resource processing, on the utilization of parts, components and services produced in Canada, and on exports from Canada; (ii) the degree and significance of participation by Canadians in the Canadian business and in any industry in Canada of which it forms a part; (iii) the effect of the investment on productivity, industrial efficiency, technological development, product innovation and product variety in Canada; (iv) the effect of the investment on competition within any industry or industries in Canada; (v) the compatibility of the investment with national industrial, economic and cultural objectives enunciated by the government or legislature of any province likely to be significantly affected by the investment; and (vi) the contribution of the investment to Canada's ability to compete in world markets.

Within 45 days after completed application for review has been received, the Minister must notify the investor that (a) he is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada," or

(b) he is unable to complete his review in which case he shall have 30 additional days to complete his review (unless the investor agrees to a longer period) or (c) he is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada." If the Minister is unable to complete his review and no decision has been taken within the prescribed or agreed upon time, the Minister is deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada."

Where the Minister has advised the investor that he is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada," the acquirer has the right to make representations and submit undertakings within 30 days of the date of notice (or any further period that is agreed upon between the investor and the Minister). On the expiration of the 30-day period (or an agreed extension), the Minister must notify the investor whether or not he is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada." In the latter case, the investor may not proceed with the investment, or if the investment has already been implemented, must divest itself of control of the Canadian business.

No securities of the Company are subject to escrow or similar restrictions.

E. Taxation

The following is a summary of certain Canadian federal income tax provisions applicable to United States corporations, citizens and resident alien individuals purchasing Common Shares. The discussion is only a general summary and does not purport to deal with all aspects of Canadian federal taxation that may be relevant to shareholders, including those subject to special treatment under the income tax laws. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Company's Common Shares, as well as any consequences arising under U.S. federal, state or local tax laws or tax laws of other jurisdictions outside the United States. The summary is based on the assumption that, for Canadian tax purposes, the purchasers or

34

shareholders (i) deal at arm's-length with the Company, (ii) are not residents of Canada, (iii) hold the Common Shares as capital property and (iv) do not use or hold Common Shares in, or in the course of, carrying on business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder").

Dividends paid to U.S. residents by the Company on the Common Shares generally will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes. For this purpose, dividends will include amounts paid by the Company in excess of the paid-up capital of the Common Shares on redemption or a purchase for cancellation of such shares by the Company (other than purchases on the open market). For U.S. corporations owning at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, the dividends paid by the Company are subject to a withholding tax rate of 6% in 1996 and 5% thereafter under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended by the Protocol signed on March 17, 1995 (the "Treaty"). For all other U.S. shareholders, the Treaty reduces the withholding tax rate from 25% to 15% of the gross dividend. Other applicable tax treaties may reduce the Canadian tax rate for other Non-Resident Holders.

A Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to tax in Canada on capital gains realized from disposition of Common Shares, unless such shares are "taxable Canadian property" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Generally, the Common Shares would not be taxable Canadian property unless the Non-Resident Holder, together with related parties, at any time during the five years prior to the disposition of the Common Shares owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. Under the Treaty, a resident of the United States will not be subject to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of gains realized on the sale of Common Shares which constitute "taxable Canadian property", provided that the value of the Common Shares at the time of disposition is not derived principally from real property located in Canada.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk [including interest rate, foreign exchange rate, and commodity and equity price risk].

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

35

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterpart's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and short-term investments. Cash and short-term investments consist of non-interest and interest bearing bank accounts with reputable financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash and short-term investments is minimal.

Liquidity Risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet accounts payable and accrued liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2008, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $239,155 (2007- $292,434) to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $192,327 (2007 - $147,486) and due to related parties of $74,708 (2007 - $134,213). Most of the Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Due to related parties are unsecured with no set date of repayment.

The Company can also redeem, all or in part, at a discount price, preferred shares shown as current liabilities on the balance sheet in the amount of $563,818 (2007 - $563,818). As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not intend to redeem the preferred shares due to the limited financial resources of the Company.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has cash balances and balances due to related parties with fixed interest rates (refer to Note 7(ii) and (iii)). The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in interest bearing bank accounts. The Company periodically monitors its interest bearing bank accounts and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its banks.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar and major purchases are transacted in United States dollars. An operating account is maintained in Canadian dollars primarily for settlement of general and corporate expenditures. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk could adversely affect the Company. In particular, the Company's future profitability and viability from mineral exploration depends upon the world market price of coal. Commodity prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years. There is no assurance that, even

36

as commercial quantities of coal may be produced in the future, a profitable market will exist for them. As of December 31, 2008, the Company is not a producer of coal. As a result, commodity price risk may affect the completion of future equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. This may also affect the Company's liquidity and its ability to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company closely monitors commodity prices as it relates to coal to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Sensitivity Analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are "reasonably possible" over a twelve month period:

(i)

Held-for-trading assets include an interest bearing bank account with a variable interest rate. As at December 31, 2008, if interest rates had fluctuated by 10% with all other variables held constant, the loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 would have varied by $17,507, as a result of the associated variance in interest income from the interest bearing bank account. As at December 31, 2008, reported shareholders' deficiency would have varied by $17,507 as a result of the associated variance in interest income from the interest bearing bank account due to a 10% change in interest rates.

(ii)

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties that are denominated in Canadian dollars. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would affect net loss and comprehensive loss by approximately $7,342 with all other variables held constant.

Item 12. Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report and based on their evaluation the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

C. Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the

38

Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

D. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Policies and Procedures for Pre-Approval of Auditor's Services

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures regarding the engagement of the Company's auditors, which are summarized below.

The auditors must submit for approval to the Audit Committee an engagement letter outlining the scope of the audit services, including all statutory engagements as required under securities and corporate laws, proposed to be performed during the fiscal year. This letter of engagement must include a fee proposal for all audit services proposed to be rendered during the fiscal year. This letter of engagement must also outline the scope of the services proposed to be performed in connection with the interim review of the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the first and second quarters of the following fiscal year, prior to the appointment of MSCM LLP as auditors by the shareholders at the Company's next annual meeting. In addition, the engagement letter may include a specific list of permissible audit-related and non-audit services that are generally expected and necessary in the normal course of the Company's business, and that Management recommends the Audit Committee engage the auditors to provide.

39

At the request of Management, the Audit Committee may approve additional audit services and permissible audit-related and non-audit services. In such circumstances, the auditors must issue separate engagement letters for each additional service. Such engagement letters must confirm to the Audit Committee, and Management must also confirm, that the proposed services are permissible under all applicable securities legislation or regulations.

To ensure the prompt handling of day-to-day tax-related matters, Management may request the Audit Committee to pre-approve a maximum periodic amount of tax-related services that may be rendered by the auditors on a pre-identified list of specific tax-related matters for the next quarter.

To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee delegates to its Chair the authority to approve additional audit services and permissible audit-related and non-audit services. Based on the materiality of the proposed services, the Chair may decide that a special meeting of the Audit Committee is necessary in order to appropriately assess the proposal. The Chair reports any action taken to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.

The Audit Committee is informed quarterly as to the status and estimated fees regarding services actually provided by the auditors pursuant to these pre-approval procedures.

The auditors and Management must ensure that all audit, audit-related and non-audit services provided to the Company have been approved by the Audit Committee. The Chair of the Audit Committee is responsible for tracking all auditors' fees against the estimates for such services and reporting to the Audit Committee every quarter.

As required by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), all audit, audit related and non-audit services rendered by MSCM LLP pursuant to engagements entered into since March 23, 2009 and prior to that by McCarney Greenwood, LLP pursuant to engagements entered into since May 6, 2003 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to these pre-approval procedures. In 2005, no audit-related and non-audit services rendered by the auditors were required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception set out in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees. The Company is relying on the exemption in section 6.1 in Multilateral Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("MI 52-110"), which provides that venture issuers (as that term is defined therein) are not required to comply with certain audit committee composition requirements and have different reporting obligations, as specified by MI 52-110..

Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers. There were no known purchases of the Company's securities by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliated purchaser during the period covered by this Annual Report.

Item 16F. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Sharpe Resources Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Sharpe Resources Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditors on United States of America-Canada Reporting Difference

In the United States of America, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated April 4, 2008 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such conditions and events in the auditor's report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion (the "MD&A") of the financial condition and results of operations of Sharpe Resources Corporation Inc. (the "Corporation") constitutes management's review of the factors that affected the Corporation's financial and operating performance for the year ending December 31, 2008. The MD&A was prepared as of April 28, 2008 and should be read in conjunction with the audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 of the Corporation, including the notes thereto. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts discussed herein are denominated in United States dollars.

Overview

The Corporation is continued under the New Brunswick Business Corporation Act and its common shares are listed in the United Sates on the OTC:BB symbol SHGP and in Canada under the symbol SHO.H on the NEX exchange.

The Corporation is considered in the exploration stage as of January 1, 2002 as it started disposing of its interest in petroleum and natural gas properties that year. The Corporation completed the disposal of these properties during the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2005. The Corporation is currently engaged in the development of coal projects in the central Appalachian region of the eastern United States.

The Corporation has one reportable business segment. Substantially all of the Corporation's assets are located in the United States except for small balances held in Canadian banks. The Corporation's operations in Canada consist of general and administrative expenses necessary to maintain the Corporation's public Corporation status.

Results of Operations

The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2008 was $321,495 as compared to the net loss of $255,827 for the year ending December 31, 2007 an increase of $65,668. Operating expenses decreased by $24,386 however General and Administrative expenses increased by $38,705. There was an increase of $98,641 in Stock-option compensation from $90,232 for the year ending December 31, 2007 to $188,873 for the year ending December 31, 2008. On May 8, 2008, the Corporation granted options to purchase a total of 1,700,000 common shares to directors and officers of the Corporation. The options are exercisable at $0.10 (Canadian) and expire on May 8, 2013. For the purposes of the 1,700,000 options, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 161.3%; risk-free interest rate of 3.04% and an expected average life of 5 years. The estimated value of $188,873 was recorded as a debit to stock-option compensation and a credit to contributed surplus.

Revenue increased from $8,606 for the year ending December 31, 2007 to $39,604 for the year ending December 31, 2008 and represents interest income and various small override interests in petroleum and natural gas properties.

On January 7, 2008, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Standard Energy Corporation ("Standard"). Standard's primary asset includes 100% ownership interest in all of the coal seams on more than 17,000 acres in Preston County, West Virginia. Details of the proposed acquisition are included

67

in Note 10(a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006. The purchase price consists of the forgiveness of the repayment of US $250,000 demand promissory note owing from Standard to the Corporation and the issuance of 2 million shares of the Corporation's common stocks. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and as of December 31, 2008, the business combination has not been so approved.

On June 12, 2008, the Corporation announced that RSM has reached an agreement in principle with the Corporation to jointly develop and operate a number of coal projects. To enter into the transaction RSM has agreed in principle to advance to the project up to $2 million to facilitate the startup.

Roland M. Larsen is the Chief Executive Officer of both RSM and the Corporation. In order to conduct the negotiations and settlement of definitive agreements in this connection, the board of RSM has appointed an independent committee of directors to evaluate finalize and recommend the transaction to the Board of Directors of RSM if warranted. It is anticipated that the business will operate as a joint venture between the companies at least at the outset. A joint venture agreement was completed and executed by both Boards' of Directors on November 12, 2008.

In an effort to achieve diversity within its natural resource portfolio RSM has entered into the joint venture program mentioned above focused initially on the eastern Kentucky coal fields with the Corporation. The joint venture will involve the opportunity for RSM to earn a 50% interest in coal projects that Standard has acquired or holds under option agreements. RSM can earn its 50% interest by advancing four projects to production over the next 12 months. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and as of December 31, 2008, the joint venture has not been so approved.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation's cash balance at December 31, 2008 was $239,155 compared to $292,434 at December 31, 2007. Total assets at December 31, 2008 were $493,260 compared to $554,548 at December 31, 2007 a decrease of $61,288.

Total Current Liabilities decreased from $845,517 at December 31, 2007 to $830,853 at December 31, 2008. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from $147,486 at December 31, 2007 to $192,327 at December 31, 2008 an increase of $44,841.

On a forward going basis equity and debt financings will remain the single major source of cash flow for the Corporation. As revenue from operations improve the capital requirement of the Corporation will also improve. However, debt and equity financings will continue to be a source of capital to expand the Corporation 's activities in the future.

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 46,619,863 are outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Also at December 31, 2008 the Corporation had outstanding options to purchase 3,780,000 common shares with exercise prices of C$0.10 per share and expiration dates ranging from May 2010 to May 2013. On May 8, 2008, the Corporation granted options to purchase a total of 1,700,000 common shares to directors and officers of the Corporation. The options are exercisable at $0.10 (Canadian) and expire on May 8, 2013. For the purposes of the 1,700,000 options, the fair value of each option

68

was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 161.3%; risk-free interest rate of 3.04% and an expected average life of 5 years. The estimated value of $188,873 was recorded as a debit to stock-option compensation and a credit to contributed surplus.

There are no warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008.

Transactions with Related Parties

Following is a summary of the related party transactions of the Corporation:

December 31, 2008			December 31, 2007
Due From Related Party	Standard Energy Corporation (i)	$250,000 $250,000	$250,000 $250,000
Due To Related Parties	Roland M. Larsen (ii) Royal Standard Minerals Inc. (iii) Kentucky Standard Energy Corporation (iv)	$25,400 $110,306 $25,000 $160,706	$25,400 $108,813 $0 $134,213

(i)

The purpose of this transaction was to acquire an asset that Sharpe would become an interest holder in the project either in Standard Energy Corporation ("Standard") or a direct interest in the Kingwood Coal Project. Standard is related by virtue of its ownership by an officer and director of the Corporation. The loan receivable was unsecured, non-interest bearing and no date was set for its repayment. On January 7, 2008, Sharpe acquired a 100% interest in Standard Energy as described in Note 10(a).

70

(ii)

This loan is payable to an officer and director of the Corporation and was used to fund payables. It is unsecured, bearing interest at 8% and has no date set for repayment. The interest payable on this loan has been accrued but has not yet been paid.

(iii) Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM") is a related Corporation by virtue of common management and common directors. The loan payable was unsecured, non-interest bearing and had no date set for its repayment. On September 9, 2008, the Corporation entered into an agreement with RSM for the repayment of the loan. To this end, the Corporation has executed a promissory note (the "Note") in favor of RSM that provides for the repayment of the loan over a three-year period commencing on September 9, 2008. The first principle payment of $42,499 is due on September 9, 2009, $42,499 on September 9, 2010 and $42,499 on September 9, 2011. Pursuant to the Note, the outstanding amount of the loan will accumulate interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such interest to accrue daily and be payable monthly, in arrears on the first business day of each and every month commencing on October 9, 2008 until the full amount of the loan together with all interest on such amount has been repaid in full.. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Corporation accrued interest of $1,493 (2007 - $Nil and 2006 - $Nil) on this liability

(iv)

This loan is payable to Kentucky Standard Energy Corporation with which the Corporation has common management and common directors. It is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was repaid in February, 2009.

(v)

Management fees of $Nil (2007 -$15,000; 2006 – $154,000) were paid to an officer and director of the Corporation.

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are considered to be in the best interest of all shareholders to support corporate growth and future development and are measured at the exchange amount (the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties which approximate the arm's length equivalent value).

Changes in Accounting Policies

Changes in accounting policies are explained in detail in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

On February 13, 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed the transition to IFRS from Canadian GAAP will occur on January 1, 2011 for public entities. The impact of this transition on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements has not yet been determined; however, management continues to monitor these developments and the CFO has enrolled in education courses regarding IFRS business issues and implementation for the Corporation.

Risk and Uncertainties

At the present time, the Corporation does not have sufficient assets to maintain ongoing profitability. The Corporation's ability to acquire and develop new projects is a function of its ability to raise the necessary capital to pursue the efforts successfully.

The Corporation has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to it for further acquisitions, exploration and development of new or existing projects. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the property interests of the Corporation with the possible dilution or loss of such interests. The Corporation's Audited Financial Statements contain a note about the Corporation's ability to continue as a Going concern.

The Corporation's business is subject to variety of risks and uncertainties. These risks are explained in detail in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

71

Environment

Operations, development and exploration projects could potentially be affected by environmental laws and regulations of the country in which the activities are undertaken. The environmental standards continue to change and the global trend is to a longer, more complex process. Although the Corporation continuously reviews environmental matters and undertakes to comply with changes as expeditiously as possible, there is no assurance that existing or future environmental regulation will not materially adversely affect the Corporation's financial condition, liquidity and results of operation. Certain environmental issues, such as storm events, tailings storage seepage, dust and noise emissions, while having been assessed and strategies based on best practices have been adopted, there can be no assurance an unforeseen event will not occur which could have a material adverse effect on the viability of the Corporation's business and affairs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation has no off-balance sheet arrangements

Management's Responsibility for Financial Information

The Corporation's financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management, and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Corporation's management in accordance with Canadian and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include certain amounts based on the use of estimates and assumptions. Management established these amounts in a reasonable manner, in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.

Forward Looking Statements

This MD&A includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A that address activities, events or developments that the Corporation expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the Corporation's businesses, operations, plans and other such matters are forward-looking statements. When used in this MD&A, the words "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to joint venture operations, actual results of current exploration activities, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined unavailability of financing, fluctuations in oil and gas prices and other factors. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results to be different than anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
