1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Quaterra Resources Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, together “Quaterra” or the “Company”, is a copper exploration company with mineral properties in Nevada and Alaska, United States. The Company maintains its head office at 1199 West Hastings Street, Suite 1100, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2018, the Company had working capital deficiency of $0.22 million. The Company has no source of revenue or cash flow and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead needs, settle its liabilities in the normal course and meet its mineral property options payments. The Company has renegotiated the terms of certain mineral property option agreements to reduce or defer the required payments. On September 20, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered financing of net $916,107 by way of issuance a 10% convertible debenture (Note 6). While the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These conditions cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGE


  a.

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards, (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) effective January 1, 2018, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

  b.

Accounting estimates and judgments

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

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

  c.

Accounting policy change – adoption impact

The Company adopted the provisions of IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis.

The Company has elected to measure its equity instruments at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) instead of through other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). As a result, amounts previously included in OCI has been reclassified to deficit as of January 1, 2017, and any subsequent changes in OCI during fiscal 2017 have been reversed and reflected as a component of net income (loss) for the period.

On adoption of IFRS 9 there were no other changes to the measurement of the Company’s financial assets or financial liabilities. The Company has designated its financial assets and financial liabilities as follows:

  “Cash” is classified as financial assets at amortized cost;
  “Marketable securities” and “Derivative lability” are classified as FVTPL;
“Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”, “Related party loan”, and “Loan payable” are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.

The Company’s accounts payable and loans payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The marketable securities are a Level 1 fair value measurement, the derivative warrants are a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The convertible debenture is classified as a liability, less the portion relating to the conversion feature which is classified as a derivative liability. The debt liability was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and is accreted to the face value over the term of the convertible debenture.

3.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company holds 1,942,795 common shares of Grande Portage Resources Ltd. with a market value of $375,202 (December 31, 2017 - $286,502).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an $88,700 gain was recognized in the profit and loss, following the adoption of IFRS 9 (see Note 2(c)).

4.

MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company defers acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs related to the properties on which it is conducting exploration.

As of September 30, 2018, total mineral property maintenance and exploration costs are listed in the table below:

  a)

Copper properties in Nevada

The Company has a 100% interest in the MacArthur and Yerington properties, and has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Bear Deposit and Wassuk properties. These properties are held by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Singatese Peak Services, LLC.

On September 17, 2018, the Company announced a purchase and sale agreement with Desert Pearl Farms LLC (“Desert Pearl”), an agriculture company based in Yerington, to sell certain primary ground water rights associated with its copper property in Yerington, Nevada for approximately $6.26 million.

Desert Pearl would deposit an initial $625,920 into escrow, half of which can be used by the Company for corporate use once certain conditions are met. The remaining escrow funds will be released and the balance of funds owing will be paid when the transaction closes.

MacArthur and Yerington

The MacArthur property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), which may be reduced to a 1% NSR royalty for a consideration of $1.0 million.

The Yerington property has a 2% NSR royalty capped at $7.5 million on commencement of commercial production.

Bear Deposit

Bear Deposit consists of five option agreements covering private land in Yerington, Nevada. Under the terms of these option agreements, as amended, the Company is required to make approximately $5.0 million in cash payments over 11 years ($4.3 million paid) in order to maintain the exclusive right to purchase the land, mineral rights and certain water rights and to conduct mineral exploration on these properties.

Outstanding payments due under the five option agreements by year are as follows:

  $688,000 due in 2018 ($588,000 paid);
  $238,000 due in 2019;
  $188,000 due in 2020;
  $63,000 each due in 2021 and 2022 respectively, and
  $51,000 due in 2023.

Wassuk

The Company has an option to earn an interest in certain unpatented mining claims in Yerington, amended, over ten years and is required to make $1.51 million in cash payments ($0.9 million paid) with balances due on each anniversary from 2019 through 2020 in an amount of $55,000, $60,000 and $500,000, respectively.

The property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty upon commencing commercial production, which can be reduced to a 2% NSR royalty in consideration for $1.5 million.

  b)

Groundhog property in Alaska

On April 25, 2017, the Company signed a lease agreement with Chuchuna Minerals Company to earn a 90% interest in the Groundhog property located in Alaska. The Company is required to spend a minimum of $1.0 million in the first year and minimum $0.5 million in each of the following four years; any excess expenditures in any year are permitted to be carried forward. The Company spent $1.5 million in 2017 of which $0.5 million is carried forward to 2018 to meet the required minimum expenditures in 2018.

5.

LOAN PAYABLE

Pursuant to an option agreement entered with Freeport-McMoRan Nevada LLC (“Freeport Nevada”) on June 13, 2014, the Company borrowed a $500,000 secured note from Freeport Nevada on May 8, 2015 in order to facilitate a real property interest acquisition within the Bear Deposit area. Following the termination of the option agreement on September 11, 2017, the secured note became due February 28, 2018, 180 days after the termination.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company extended the repayment and paid $28,816 extension fee to Freeport Nevada. On September 6, 2018, the Company paid 50% of the outstanding amount including interest accrued, amended the interest rate from 5% to 10% per annum, compound daily, and restated the remaining balance of $295,467 as new principal repayable by March 6, 2019.

6.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On August 28 and September 20, 2018, the Company completed a non-brokered financing in tranches by way of secured convertible debentures for a net proceed of $961,107. The convertible debentures bear simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in arrears, until February 28 and March 20, 2020. Interest may be paid in cash or shares at the option of the debenture holders, subject to regulatory approvals in the case of share payments.

The outstanding principal amount is convertible into units of the Company at a price of $0.05 or CAD 0.065 per unit in the first 12 months, and thereafter at a price of $0.075 or CAD 0.10 until the maturity date. Each unit consists of a common share and a warrant; each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.05 or CAD 0.065 for a period of four years.

In the event that the Company’s shares trade at no less than $0.25 or $0.375 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to convert the debentures or may elect to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants to 21 days thereafter, respectively.

The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and determined the conversion option is an embedded derivative liability based on the fact the conversion into units could result a variable number of shares to be issued. As such, the net proceeds were allocated as $618,572 to the debt component and $342,535 to the derivative liability component of the convertible debentures.

At inception, the fair value of derivative liability is calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: volatility of 99%, expected term of 1.5 year, discount rate of 1.46% and dividend yield of 0%.

7.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

In connection with the issuance of the above convertible debentures and 19,000,000 warrants in an asset purchase agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Inc. on October 3, 2014, the conversion option and the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities, carried at fair value and revalued at each reporting date.

As of September 30, 2018, the derivative liabilities were revalued using the weighted average assumptions: volatility of 108%, expected term of 1.3 year, discount rate of 1.53% and dividend yield of 0%:
