Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Quaterra Resources Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Quaterra Resources Inc. as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. 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. 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 these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of Operations

Quaterra Resources Inc. (the “Company”) is an exploration stage enterprise incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal properties and does not have any mineral properties in production. The Company has not determined whether these mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become due, including completion of the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties, is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:

(i)	Minera Agua Tierra S.A. de C.V., incorporated in Mexico;
(ii)	Quaterra Alaska, Inc., incorporated in Alaska, USA;
(iii)	Quaterra International Limited, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands;
(iv)	QTA International Nieves Limited, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands; and
(v)	Minera Nieves S.A. de C.V., incorporated in Mexico.

(b) Mineral Properties

All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

All costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized until such time as these mineral properties are placed into commercial production, sold or abandoned. If commercial production is achieved from a mineral property, the related capitalized costs will be amortized prospectively on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated life of the ore reserves. If a mineral property is abandoned, the related capitalized costs are written down and expensed. From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of all or part of its mineral property interests under the terms of property option agreements. As such options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when paid or received.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

(b) Mineral Properties, continued

The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the Company’s ability to:

(i)	Obtain the necessary financing to complete the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties.
(ii)	Enter into mineral property acquisition, joint venture or option agreements with other entities.
(iii)	Discover economically recoverable reserves within its mineral properties.
(iv)	Obtain future profitable production from its mineral properties or sufficient proceeds from the disposition thereof.

	On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates each mineral property for potential impairment based on results obtained to date to determine the nature of exploration, other assessment and development work, if any, that is warranted in the future and the potential for recovery of the capitalized costs. If there is little prospect of future work on a property being carried out within a three-year period from completion of previous activities, the deferred costs related to that property are written down to the estimated amount recoverable unless there is persuasive evidence that an impairment allowance is not required. The amounts capitalized for mineral properties represent costs incurred to date less write-downs, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.
(c)	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and generally have maturities of three months or less from the date acquired.
(d)	Foreign Currency
	The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. Accounts of the Company’s foreign operations have been translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

(i)	Monetary assets and liabilities, at year-end rates.
(ii)	All other assets and liabilities, at historical rates.
(iii)	Revenue and expense items, at the average rates of exchange each quarter.

The effects of translation are credited or charged to the statement of operations as foreign exchange gain or loss.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
	(e)	Equipment
		Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets using the declining-balance method at an annual rate of 30% for vehicles and equipment, 45% for computers and 75% for software. One-half of the annual rate is used in the year of acquisition.
	(f)	Asset Retirement Obligations
		The Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) at the time the liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a long-term liability, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the life of the proved reserves. The liability amount is increased each reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion is charged to earnings in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded.
	(g)	Share Capital
		The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants are recorded as share capital. Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at an amount based on fair market value at the time of issuance reduced by estimated transaction costs, if any.
	(h)	Stock-Based Compensation
		The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense using the fair value method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non- employees, including awards that are direct awards of stock, call for settlement in cash or other assets, or stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Under this standard stock-based payments are recorded as an expense in the period the stock-based payments are vested or the awards or rights are granted, and a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. When stock options are exercised, the corresponding fair value is transferred from contributed surplus to share capital.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
	(i)	Income Taxes
		The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method of tax allocation, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantially assured. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.
	(j)	Loss per Share
		Loss per share computations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share has not been presented separately, as the effects of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive.
	(k)	Use of Estimates and Measurement Uncertainty
		The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets, liabilities, expenses, other income, and contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to amortization of equipment, the determination of the recoverability of mineral property costs, the valuation allowance of future tax assets and the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation. Management believes the estimates are reasonable, however, actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact on future results of operations and asset flows.
	(l)	Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis at the stated rate of interest of the term deposit over the term to maturity.

3. Financial Instruments

(a) Fair Value

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, amounts due from joint venture partner, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

3. Financial Instruments, continued

(b)	Interest Rate Risk
	The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities.
(c)	Credit Risk
	The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to managing its cash position. This risk, from deposit granting institutions and/or commercial paper issuers, is mitigated by risk management policies, which requires the deposits or short-term investments be invested with Canadian chartered banks rated BBB or better or commercial paper issuers R1/A2/P2 or higher. All investments must be less than one year in duration.
(d)	Currency Risk
	The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent expenditures incurred or funds received by the Company are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (primarily US dollars and Mexican peso). The Company does not manage the currency risks through hedging or other currency management tools.

5. Mineral Properties, continued

(a) Nieves Concessions, Mexico

The Company holds a 50% interest in 15 mineral concessions located in northern Zacatecas, Mexico, (the Nieves Concessions) and two inlaying fractions within the Nieves Concessions (Delores and Nazarene), collectively called Nieves.

The Company acquired an option on the property pursuant to an Assignment made March 26, 1999 of the Underlying Agreement by Western Silver Corporation (“Western”), a company with common directors and officers, to the Company.

To acquire its interest, the Company issued 1,444,460 common shares to Western valued at $288,892, issued 360,000 common shares to the concessionaires valued at $72,000 and in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Agreement made scheduled option payments to the concession holders, totalling US $70,000 over three years. In addition, to acquire the interest in the claim fractions the Company paid US $40,000 to the concessionaires. Commencing January 26, 2004, an annual advance minimum royalty payment (“AMR”) of US $75,000 is due to the concession holders until the commencement of commercial production.

The Nieves concessions are subject to a maximum 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) to the original concession holders, which the Company may purchase at any time for US $2 million. In addition, Kennecott Exploration Company, the optionor in the initial Underlying Agreement, retains NSR royalties of 2% on certain core claims and 1% on certain peripheral claims.

Funds in the amount of US $1,500,000 (C $1,904,550) were advanced to the Company pursuant to the terms of an agreement made April 10, 2003 with Blackberry Ventures I, LLC (“Blackberry”), a US-based investment partnership, whereby Blackberry could earn a 50% interest in the Nieves silver property in Mexico or the Duke Island property in Alaska by providing advance funding to the Company to fund exploration expenditures.

The agreement with Blackberry stipulated that once all monies received from the advances had been incurred on exploration expenditures, Blackberry effectively exercised its option and earned a 50% interest in the Nieves property. In August 2005, the parties formed a joint venture to proceed with exploration on the property. As at December 31, 2006, Blackberry owed the Company $113,430 (2005: $177,799) for its share of joint venture exploration expenditures that have been made on the property.

5. Mineral Properties, continued

(h)	Title to Mineral Properties
Title to mineral properties may be affected by unregistered prior agreements or transfers, as well as undetected defects. Although the Company has verified title to its mineral properties in accordance with standard industry practices applicable for the current stage of exploration, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s interests in its mineral properties.
(i)	Environmental Expenditures
The operations of the Company may, in the future, be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

6. Related Party Transactions

As at December 31, 2006, $26,216 (2005: $13,010) was due to directors or senior officers of the Company or to companies controlled by them, for various services rendered.

12. Differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

(a) Differences in accounting principles

(i) Exploration expenditures

Under Canadian GAAP, acquisition costs of mineral interests and exploration expenditures are capitalized (Note 5).

Under US GAAP, exploration costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization are expensed as incurred. Commercial feasibility is established in compliance with SEC Industry Guide 7, which consists of identifying that part of a mineral deposit that could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. After an area of interest has been assessed as commercially feasible, expenditures specific to the area of interest for further development are capitalized. In deciding when an area of interest is likely to be commercially feasible, management may consider, among other factors, the results of pre-feasibility studies, detailed analysis of drilling results, the supply and cost of required labour and equipment, and whether necessary mining and environmental permits can be obtained. To date no exploration expenses have been capitalized.

The Company has adopted EIFT 04-02 and separately reports the aggregate carrying amount of mineral rights. Mineral rights include an option for the Company to acquire the rights to extract and retain at least a portion of the benefits from the mineral deposits. Acquisition costs include cash and the fair market value of common shares for the mineral rights. These capitalized costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the property following commencement of commercial production or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when an impairment of value has occurred.

(b) Recent accounting pronouncements, continued

(i)	In December 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based compensation payments and supersedes the Company’s current accounting under APB 25. SFAS 123(R) is effective for all annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). This standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as it already applies the fair value method of accounting for its stock options.
(ii)	FAS 153, Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets. The provisions of this statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after December 16, 2004. The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively. There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(iii)	FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, applies at different dates to different types of enterprises and entities, and special provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied Interpretation 46, or Interpretation 46 (R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities is required in financial statements for periods other than special-purpose entities and by non-public entities to all types of entities is required at various dates in 2004 and 2005. In some instances, enterprises have the option of applying or continuing to apply Interpretation 46 for a short period of time before applying Interpretation 46(R). There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(iv)	SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non- financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a "restatement." The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. The provisions of this standard are to provide guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard clarifies methods for measuring items not actively traded and the principles that fair value should be based upon when pricing an asset or liability. The provisions of Statement 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(viii)

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Interpretation 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, Interpretation 48 provides guidance on de- recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Interpretation 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of Interpretation 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
