OVERALL PERFORMANCE Description of Business X-Terra, an exploration stage company, is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mining and oil and gas properties. It has interests in properties at the exploration stage located in Canada. The Corporation is in the process of exploring its mining and oil and gas properties interests and has not yet determined whether they contain mineral or oil and gas deposits that are economically recoverable. The Corporation capitalizes property acquisition and exploration expenses relating to mineral and oil and gas properties in which it has an active interest. In the event that such properties become inactive or prove uneconomic, they are written-off. Any reference in this document to “properties” means any mineral resources and oil and gas properties in which the Corporation has earned or in the future may earn an interest. The Corporation is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario and is traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), under the symbol XT. It also trades on the Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin Exchanges in Europe under the symbol DFUA. The Corporation is actively looking to add new advanced-stage mineral projects in its portfolio. The Corporation has completed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on its Lindsay rare earth property in Kipawa. Area participants, like Matamec Explorations and Fieldex Exploration continue to make progress confirming the potential for significant discoveries in the Kipawa alcalin complex. 1 PROPERTIES 1. Mining Properties Lindsay Property (25 claims) The 100% owned Lindsay rare earth elements (REE) project is located approximately 125 kilometres south of Rouyn- Noranda, Quebec and 70 kilometres east-northeast of North Bay, Ontario, along the provincial border, halfway between the Elliot Lake uranium camp and the Abitibi gold belt, within the Grenville front. The project consists of 25 unpatented mining claims (1,534 hectares) in Villedieu Township. The property is underlaid by gneiss derived from a mature sequence of detrital and chemical metasedimentary rocks called the Kipawa formation that has been metamorphosed to upper amphibolite facies (Rive 1973b). The Kipawa alkaline intrusive complex is situated immediately north of the property and this plutonic mass could extend to the south of the property. The composition and texture of the complex is heterogeneous. Three principal internal units are present: a syenitic-monzonite facies; a banded mafic gneiss facies; and a peralkaline granite facies. The discovery of uranium and gold mineralization at Hunter’s Point in 1957 increased uranium exploration in the Kipawa region. In addition, a till sampling survey was conducted by Aurizon Mines in the regions considered most favourable for gold mineralization. This survey has defined four trends of gold dispersion utilizing the analysis of heavy mineral concentrates. The northeast dispersion trend of gold in heavy mineral concentrate is located immediately to the northwest of the property and is evident along the length of a major geological structure in a northwest direction that covers the property at its centre. The heavy mineral concentrates have yielded analyses of more than 0.1 g/t of gold in 27% of samples, including analyses of 1.3 g/t and 2.0 g/t of gold. In April 2012, Fieldex Exploration reports encouraging rare earth results on their Lac Sairs project, they drilled 19.55 metres of 1.10% TREO+Y2O3 north of the Lindsay property. In 2010, a total of three diamond drill holes totaling 358 metres have been done on the Lindsay property. More than 110 samples were sent to a lab for assaying; however, no economic results were obtained from this drilling campaign. A total of $34,118 has been spent on the property in 2012 and $15,000 in 2011. Work done in 2012 included the production of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the property. The Lindsay project is a mid-stage exploration project with historical uranium and rare- earth-elements occurrences and economic potential for these commodities. Area participants, like Matamec Explorations and Fieldex Exploration continue to make progress confirming the potential for other significant discoveries in the Kipawa alcalin complex. Other projects The Corporation is continuously looking to add resources base projects in its portfolio of properties. 2. Shale gas properties Consistent with the BAPE recommendations, the government of Québec commissioned a strategic environmental assessment (“SEA”) for shale gas development. A multi-stakeholder committee was appointed to conduct the SEA and new regulations were enacted to govern operations during this period. The announcement of the SEA materially impacted our timeline for exploration of the Utica. During this time, the government mandated limited activities while it increases its understanding of the industry and develops the appropriate regulations. We were pleased to learn that the Ministry of Natural Resources acknowledged this impact and extended the term of our exploration licenses up to three years. Environmental assessments are common for large scale resource projects, including shale gas development in other jurisdictions. While we appreciate the importance of assessing the local impacts, we are hopeful that the committee will leverage the growing body of research that corroborates the established industry practices to safely develop shale gas. Rimouski and Rimouski North Properties (5 licences) Oil and gas exploration in Québec has been ongoing for the last 140 years. Notable gas discoveries include the Quaternary Pointe-du-Lac Gas Field, the Ordovician age St. Flavien Gas Field, and the Devonian Silurian Galt gas discovery near the town of Gaspé. Oil discoveries include the Port-au-Port oil discovery in Newfoundland and minor oil accumulation at Haldimand, near Gaspé. While the province is known to be petroliferous, the discoveries have been modest. Reservoirs can be found in the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and the Quaternary. Up until the “discovery” of the Utica Shale plays, most oil and gas accumulations in the area were conventional. A compilation has been completed and a 50/50 farm out deal has been finalized with a well-known oil and gas networked partner/operator named Brownstone Energy Inc (“Brownstone”). In 2008, X-Terra entered into an agreement with Brownstone pursuant to which Brownstone acquired a 50% interest in the exploration licenses in exchange for the issuance to X-Terra of 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 common shares purchase warrants. X-Terra still owns theses shares but all warrants have expired. 2 X-Terra and its partner Brownstone Energy Inc. have made a 5,543-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the Rimouski, and Rimouski North projects in the St. Laurent Lowlands, Quebec. The survey is composed of 5,543 kilometres of 300- metre-spacing flight lines and 3,000-metre-spacing control lines and was completed by Geophysics GPR International- KalusAir Services Inc. (KASI). Preliminary results from this last study suggest structural fabrics, which could generate targets on the three projects. These structural fabrics have been investigated by a geological field survey in 2010, in order to renew the licences of Rimouski and Rimouski North properties which have good potential targets. Only $1,328 has been spent on these properties in 2012. The maps are available on the Corporation’s website at www.xterraresources.com. Trois-Pistoles property (8 licences) The Corporation with its partner Brownstone Energy Inc. have acquired 157,570 hectares of additional land in the St- Laurent Lowlands between Rimouski and Riviere-du-Loup for the potential in oil and gas. An airborne magnetic survey which was flown over the Trois-Pistoles project by the Quebec Natural Resources department is now available. In 2012, no work has been done on the property.

The office and general fees decreased in 2012 mainly due to the fact that the Corporation has stopped leasing temporary space in Montreal. Consulting fees have decreased and went from $221,125 in 2011 to $174,754 in 2012. Conference and promotion fees have decreased and went from $54,088 in 2011 to $16,544 in 2012 and shows low promotion activity. Allocated sums for public company expenses went from $28,220 in 2011 to $24,497 in 2012. The Corporation recorded exploration expenses of $9,335 in 2012 (no amount in 2011). The other administrative expenses remained relatively stable, are cyclical and may fluctuate according to the events, which are not always predictable. 3 Office and general expenses This is the detail for office and general expenses for the previous two most recently completed fiscal years: Office leasing Insurances Office operations and facilities $ 2012 30,840 8,250 7,284 46,374 $ 2011 49,190 8,388 9,335 66,913 Financing activities No financing has been raised in 2012 and the Corporation does not expect any in the near future.

Compensation of key management The Corporation has a service agreement with a related party to provide management services to the Corporation, including senior executives. Because of the service agreement, the Corporation has no employee benefits expense. Key management includes directors and senior executives. The compensation paid or payable to key management is presented below: Key management services and directors’ fees Share-based compensation expense 2012 $ 124,780 9,900 134,680 2011 $ 156,960 - 156,960 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. There is a full disclosure and description of the Corporation’s critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates in Note 5 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The significant accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized below. Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets comprise mining and oil and gas properties and deferred exploration expenses. Expenditures incurred on activities that precede exploration for and evaluations of mineral resources, being all expenditures incurred prior to securing the legal rights to explore an area, are expensed immediately. E&E assets include rights in mining and oil and gas properties, paid or acquired through a business combination or an acquisition of assets, and costs related to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or to obtain more information about existing mineral deposits. Mining and oil and gas rights are recorded at acquisition cost or at recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use, in the case of a devaluation caused by an impairment of value. Mining and oil and gas 6 rights and options to acquire undivided interests in mining and oil and gas rights are depreciated only as these properties are put into commercial production. From time to time, the Corporation may acquire or dispose of a property pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. Due to the fact that options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the option holder, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. E&E expenditures for each separate area of interest are capitalized and include costs associated with prospecting, sampling, trenching, drilling and other work involved in searching for ore, such as topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies. They also reflect costs related to establishing the technical and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource identified through exploration or acquired through a business combination or asset acquisition. E&E expenditures include the cost of: • • • • • establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples, trenching and sampling activities in an ore body that is classified as a mineral resource; determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes; studies related to surveying, transportation and infrastructure requirements; licencing activities; and economic evaluations to determine whether development of the mineralized material is commercially justified, including scoping, prefeasibility and final feasibility studies. E&E expenditures include overhead expenses directly attributable to the related activities. Cash flows attributable to capitalized E&E costs are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows under the headings expenditures on mining and oil and gas properties and expenditures on deferred exploration expenses. Share-based compensation The fair value of share options granted to employees are recognized as an expense, or capitalized to deferred exploration expenditures, over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Corporation. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognized over the period in which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the share- based compensation. Otherwise, share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of goods or services received. 7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Corporation is exposed to various financial risks resulting from both its operations and its investment activities. The Corporation’s management manages financial risks. The Corporation does not enter into financial instrument agreements including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The main financial risks to which the Corporation is exposed are detailed below. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As further mentioned in note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Corporation’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Corporation. The Corporation generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2012, the Corporation had a cash and cash equivalents amounting to $2,054,073 (December 31, 2011 - $1,858,836) to settle current liabilities of $16,487 (December 31, 2011 - $31,636). All of the Corporation's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Corporation regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Corporation is subject to concentrations of credit risk through cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consists mainly of goods and services tax due from the federal government and provincial sales tax due from the Quebec government, amounts receivable from a partner and interest receivable from reputable institutions. The Corporation reduces its credit risk by maintaining part of its cash and cash equivalents in financial instruments guaranteed by and held with a Canadian chartered bank and the remainder in financial instruments guaranteed by Canadian chartered banks held with an independent investment dealer member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund. The marketable securities are composed of bonds from reputable financial and corporate institutions. Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as market price interest rates. Price risk The Corporation is exposed to price risk because of its investments held in a junior exploration company. When trading its shares, unfavourable market conditions could result in the disposal of the Corporation’s listed shares at less than their value as at December 31, 2012. A 10% variation in the closing price on the stock market would result in an estimated variation of ±$42,000 of net loss at year-end. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Corporation has cash balances, and its current policy is to invest excess cash in certificates of deposit or money market funds of major Canadian chartered banks. The bonds comprising marketable securities bear interest at fixed rates, and the Corporation is therefore exposed to the risk of changes in fair value resulting from interest rate fluctuations. The sensitivity of the Corporation to a 1% fluctuation in the interest rate would not have a significant impact. The Corporation’s other financial assets and financial liabilities are not subject to interest rate risk since they are non-interest bearing. Fair value Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date, based on relevant market information and other information about financial instruments. The Corporation’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2012 consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, available-for-sale investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short maturity and current market rates. Fair value hierarchy Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly and Level 3 includes inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. There is no financial instruments included in Level 3. 8 Financial assets measured at fair value As at December 31, 2012 Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ 1,947,684 - 1,947,684 - 515,165 515,165 - - - 1,947,684 515,165 2,462,849 420,000 - - 420,000 Assets measured at fair value As at December 31, 2011 Level 1 $ Level 2 $ Level 3 $ Total $ 1,589,852 - - 1,025,550 1,589,852 1,025,550 - - - 1,589,852 1,025,550 2,615,402 760,000 - - 760,000 Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Money market funds Marketable securities Available for sale Investment in common shares of public company Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Money market funds Marketable securities Available for sale Investment in common shares of public company Risk and Uncertainties The securities of the Corporation are highly speculative. In evaluating the Corporation, it is important to consider that it is a resources exploration enterprise in the exploratory stage of its operations. To date, the Corporation has had no revenues and there is no immediate expectation of revenues. A prospective investor or other person reviewing the Corporation should not consider an investment in it unless the investor is capable of sustaining an economic loss of the entire investment. All costs have been funded through equity. Certain risks are associated with the Corporation’s business including: Mineral Exploration and Development The Corporation’s properties are in the exploration stage and are without a known body of commercial ore. Development of any of its properties will only follow after obtaining satisfactory exploration results. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the Corporation’s mineral exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of a body of commercial ore on any of its properties. Several years may pass between the discovery and development of commercial mineable mineralized deposits. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineralized deposits. The commercial viability of exploiting any precious or base metal deposit is dependent on a number of factors including infrastructure and governmental regulation, in particular those relating to environment, taxes, and royalties. No assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered of sufficient quality, size and grade on any of the Corporation’s properties to justify a commercial operation. 9 Economics of Developing Mineral Properties Substantial expenses are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from ore and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. No assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operation or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Corporation’s control and which cannot be predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. Depending on the price of minerals produced, the Corporation may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production. Environmental Regulations The Corporation proposes to conduct exploration activities in various parts of Canada. Such activities are subject to laws, rules and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including, in some cases, posting of reclamation bonds. In Canada, extensive environmental legislation has been enacted by federal, provincial and territorial governments. All phases of the Corporation’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which requires stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed properties and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Corporation’s operations. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations or to preclude entirely the economic development of a property. Environmental hazards may exist on the Corporation’s properties, which hazards are unknown to the Corporation at present, which may have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. The Corporation is not aware of any environmental hazards on any of the properties held by the Corporation. The Corporation has adopted environmental practices designed to ensure that it continues to comply with or exceed all environmental regulations currently applicable to it. All of the Corporation’s activities are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental legislation. The Corporation is currently engaged in exploration with nil to minimal environmental impact. Uncertainty of Ownership Rights and Boundaries of Resource Properties There is no assurance that the rights of ownership and other rights in concessions held by the Corporation are not subject to loss or dispute particularly because such rights may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or other land claims and may be affected by defects and adverse laws and regulations which have not been identified by the Corporation. Notwithstanding that the exploration and operating concessions in respect of which the Corporation may hold various interests have been surveyed, the precise boundary locations thereof may be in dispute. Although the Corporation has exercised the usual due diligence with respect to title to properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to the properties will not be challenged or impugned. The Corporation’s mineral property interest may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. In addition, certain of the mining claims in which the Corporation has an interest are not recorded in its name and cannot be recorded until certain steps are taken by other parties. Before a number of claims under option can be recorded in the Corporation’s name, the underlying title holder has to assign title to the Corporation once the Corporation satisfies its option agreement obligations. There are no assurances that the underlying title holder will assign title. Potential Conflicts of Interest The directors of the Corporation serve as directors of other public and private companies and devote a portion of their time to manage other business interests. This may result in certain conflicts of interest. To the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Corporation is also participating, such directors and officers of the Corporation may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and reaching an agreement with respect to the extent of each company’s participation. The Canada Business Corporations Act, to which the Corporation is subject, requires the directors and officers of the Corporation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. However, in conflict of interest situations, directors of the Corporation may owe the same duty to another company and will need to balance the competing obligations and liabilities of their actions. There is no assurance that the needs of the Corporation will receive priority in all cases. From time to time, several companies may participate together in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties, thereby allowing these companies to: (i) participate in larger programs; (ii) acquire an interest in a greater number of programs; and (iii) reduce their financial exposure with respect to any one program. A particular company may assign, at its cost, all or a portion of its interests in a particular program to another affiliated company due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. In determining whether or 10 not the Corporation will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, it is expected that the directors of the Corporation will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Corporation may be exposed and its financial position at the time. Governmental Regulation Operations, development and exploration on the Corporation’s properties are affected to varying degrees by: (i) government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labor; (ii) mining law reform; (iii) restrictions on production, price controls, and tax increases; (iv) maintenance of claims; (v) tenure; and (vi) expropriation of property. There is no assurance that future changes in such regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Corporation’s operations. Changes in such regulation could result in additional expenses and capital expenditures, availability of capital, competition, reserve uncertainty, potential conflicts of interest, title risks, dilution, and restrictions and delays in operations, the extent of which cannot be predicted. The Corporation is at the exploration stage on all of its properties. Exploration on the Corporation’s properties requires responsible best exploration practices to comply with Corporation policy, government regulations, and maintenance of claims and tenure. The Corporation is required to be registered to do business and have a valid prospecting license (required to prospect or explore for minerals on crown Mineral land or to stake a claim) in any Canadian province in which it is carrying out work. Mineral exploration primarily falls under provincial jurisdiction. However, the Corporation is also required to follow the regulations pertaining to the mineral exploration industry that fall under federal jurisdiction, such as the Fish and Wildlife Act. If any of the Corporation’s projects are advanced to the development stage, those operations will also be subject to various laws and regulations concerning development, production, taxes, labor standards, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. In addition, new laws or regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies could have a material adverse impact on any project in the mine development stage that the Corporation may possess. Also, no assurance can be made that Canada Revenue Agency and provincial agencies will agree with the Corporation's characterization of expenses as Canadian exploration expenses or Canadian development expense or the eligibility of such expenses as Canadian exploration expense under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any provincial equivalent. Precious and base metal prices The price of precious and base metal prices can fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors including demand, inflation, strength of the US dollar and other currencies, interest rates, gold sales by the central banks, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or financial events, and production and cost levels in major producing regions. In addition, prices are sometimes subject to rapid short-term changes because of speculative activities. Even if the Corporation discovers commercial amounts of metals on its properties, it may not be able to place the property into commercial production if precious and base metal prices are not at sufficient levels. Need for Additional Financing Currently, exploration programs are pursued by the Corporation with the objective of establishing mineralization of commercial quantities. The Corporation may fund the proposed programs through equity financing and the possible exercise of outstanding options. Such funding would be dilutive to current shareholders. Should sources of equity financing not be available to the Corporation, the Corporation would seek a joint venture relationship in which the funding source could become entitled to a shared, negotiated interest in the property or the projects. If exploration programs carried out by the Corporation are successful in establishing ore of commercial quantities and/or grade, additional funds will be required to develop the properties and reach commercial production. In that event, the Corporation may seek capital through further equity funding, debt instruments, by offering an interest in the property being explored and allowing the party or parties carrying out further exploration or development thereof to earn an interest, or through a combination of funding arrangements. There can be no assurance of such funding sources. Furthermore, if the Corporation is not able to obtain the capital resources necessary to meet property payments or exploration or development obligations which now apply or which would apply in joint ventures with others, its potential as a “going concern” could be seriously affected. Key Employees The Corporation is dependent on a relatively small number of key directors and officers: Martin Dallaire and Sylvain Champagne. Loss of any one of these persons could have an adverse effect on the Corporation. The Corporation does not maintain “key-man” insurance in respect of any of its management. 11 Lack of operating profit The Corporation was incorporated on February 24, 1987 and since incorporation, has not realized net income except for 2008 nor paid dividends. The Corporation's properties are in the exploration stage and to date none of them have a proven ore body. The Corporation does not have a history of earnings or the provision of return on investment, and in future there is no assurance that it will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment. Variations in annual and quarterly loss and loss per shares are affected by administration costs and the write-down or write-off of mineral property carrying costs. It is anticipated that the Corporation will continue to experience operating losses for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will ever achieve significant revenues or profitable operations. Competition The mining industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Corporation competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself for the acquisition of mineral interests as well as for recruitment and retention of qualified employees. Uninsured Hazards Hazards such as unusual geological conditions are involved in exploring for and developing mineral deposits. The Corporation may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards, which cannot be insured against or against which the Corporation may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons. The payment of any such liability could result in the loss of Corporation assets or the insolvency of the Corporation.

There are many factors that may cause such a disparity, notably unstable metals prices, the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange markets and interest rates, poor reserves estimates, environmental risks (more stringent regulations), unexpected geological situations, unfavorable mining conditions, political risks arising from mining in developing countries, changing regulations and government policies (laws or policies), failure to obtain required permits and approval from government authorities, or any other risk related to mining and development. Even though the Corporation believes that the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements are plausible, it is unwise to rely unduly on such statements, which were only valid as of the date of this document.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In 2008, shareholders approved a special resolution authorizing the continuance of the Corporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On September 4, 2008, the Corporation obtained a Certificate and Articles of Continuance under the Act, rendering the continuance effective. The address of the Corporation’s headquarters and registered office is 202-139 Québec Avenue, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. The Corporation, an exploration stage company, is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mining and oil and gas properties. It has interests in properties at the exploration stage located in Quebec, Canada, and has not yet determined whether they contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. Until it is determined that properties contain mineral reserves or resources that can be economically mined, they are classified as exploration properties. The recoverability of mining and oil and gas properties and deferred exploration expenses is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources; securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties; the ability to obtain necessary financing to continue the exploration, evaluation and development of its properties; and obtaining certain government approvals and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties. Changes in future conditions could require material impairment of the carrying value of the mining and oil and gas properties and deferred exploration expenses. Although the Corporation has taken steps to verify title to its mining and oil and gas properties on which it is currently conducting exploration and in which it is acquiring an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such property, these procedures do not guarantee the Corporation’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. As at December 31, 2012, the Corporation had working capital of $3,002,629 (December 31, 2011 – $3,660,068) including cash and cash equivalents of $2,054,073 (December 31, 2011 – $1,858,836) and accumulated deficit of $25,318,184 (December 31, 2011 – $24,656,819), and had incurred a net loss of $661,365 for the year then ended (2011 – $521,380). Management of the Corporation believes that it has sufficient funds to pay its ongoing general and administrative expenses, to pursue its 2013 budgeted exploration expenditures and to meet its liabilities, obligations and existing commitments for the ensuing 12 months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Corporation’s ability to continue future operations beyond December 31, 2013 and fund its exploration expenditures is dependent on management’s ability to secure additional financing in the future, which may be completed in a number of ways including, but not limited to, the issuance of debt or equity instruments. Management will pursue such additional sources of financing when required, and while management has been successful in securing financing in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future or that these sources of funding or initiatives will be available for the Corporation or that they will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Corporation. The Corporation’s financial year ends on December 31. The consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors for publication on April 30, 2013. 1 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) 2 Basis of preparation and adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of financial statements. The Corporation has consistently applied the accounting policies throughout all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. 3 Summary of significant accounting policies The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows. Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. Consolidation The financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities which the Corporation controls by having the power to govern the financial and operating policies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Corporation and deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses, and profits and losses are eliminated. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances, and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase and which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Corporation has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques. 2 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. At initial recognition, the Corporation classifies its financial instruments in the following categories depending on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired: a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset or financial liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives are also included in this category unless they are designated as hedges. Financial instruments in this category are recognized initially and subsequently at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are presented in the consolidated statements of loss in the period in which they arise. Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current, except for the portion expected to be realized or paid beyond 12 months of the statement of financial position date, which is classified as non-current. b) Available-for-sale investments: Available-for-sale investments are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Available-for-sale investments are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). When an available-for-sale investment is sold or impaired, the accumulated gains or losses are moved from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the consolidated statements of loss. c) d) Available-for-sale investments are classified as non-current, unless an investment matures within 12 months, or management expects to dispose of it within 12 months. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the amount expected to be received, less, when material, a discount to reduce the loans and receivables to fair value. Subsequently, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less a provision for impairment. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for instruments with maturities greater than twelve months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Financial liabilities at amortized cost: Financial liabilities at amortized cost consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially recognized at the amount required to be paid, less, when material, a discount to reduce to fair value. Subsequently, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within 12 months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 3 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) The Corporation’s financial instruments are classified as follows: Category Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial instrument Money market funds Marketable securities Available-for-sale investments Investment in shares of a public company Loans and receivables Cash on hand and bank balance Accounts receivable Financial liabilities at amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, the Corporation assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset (other than a financial asset classified at fair value through profit or loss) is impaired. For equity securities, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If such evidence exists, the Corporation recognizes an impairment loss, as follows: i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The impairment loss is the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account. ii) Available-for-sale investments: The impairment loss is the difference between the original cost of the asset and its fair value at the measurement date, less any impairment losses previously recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. This amount represents the loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that is reclassified to net loss. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. Impairment losses on available-for-sale investments are not reversed. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Corporation and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statements of loss in the period in which they are incurred. 4 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) Depreciation is recognized based on the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment less its estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life as follows: Computer equipment Office furniture Exploration equipment Method Declining balance Declining balance Declining balance Rate 30% 20% 30% The Corporation allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment to its significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate. Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included in the consolidated statements of loss. Exploration and evaluation Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets comprise mining and oil and gas properties and deferred exploration expenses. Expenditures incurred on activities that precede exploration for and evaluations of mineral resources, being all expenditures incurred prior to securing the legal rights to explore an area, are expensed immediately. E&E assets include rights in mining and oil and gas properties, paid or acquired through a business combination or an acquisition of assets, and costs related to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or to obtain more information about existing mineral deposits. Mining and oil and gas rights are recorded at acquisition cost or at recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use, in the case of a devaluation caused by an impairment of value. Mining and oil and gas rights and options to acquire undivided interests in mining and oil and gas rights are depreciated only as these properties are put into commercial production. From time to time, the Corporation may acquire or dispose of a property pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. Due to the fact that options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the option holder, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. E&E expenditures for each separate area of interest are capitalized and include costs associated with prospecting, sampling, trenching, drilling and other work involved in searching for ore, such as topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies. They also reflect costs related to establishing the technical and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource identified through exploration or acquired through a business combination or asset acquisition. E&E expenditures include the cost of:   establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples, trenching and sampling activities in an ore body that is classified as a mineral resource; determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes; 5 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars)    studies related to surveying, transportation and infrastructure requirements; licencing activities; and economic evaluations to determine whether development of the mineralized material is commercially justified, including scoping, prefeasibility and final feasibility studies. E&E expenditures include overhead expenses directly attributable to the related activities. Cash flows attributable to capitalized E&E costs are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows under the headings expenditures on mining and oil and gas properties and expenditures on deferred exploration expenses. Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any such indication is present, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine whether impairment exists. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Corporation estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. Impairment is recognized immediately as additional depreciation or amortization. Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount but only to the extent that this does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined if no impairment had previously been recognized. A reversal is recognized as a reduction in the depreciation or amortization charge for the period. Government assistance The Corporation is entitled to a refundable tax credit on qualified mining exploration expenses incurred in the province of Quebec and to Quebec refundable credits on mining duties, which are recorded against the deferred exploration expenditures reported at the consolidated statement of financial position. Share-based compensation The fair value of share options granted to employees are recognized as an expense, or capitalized to deferred exploration expenditures, over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Corporation. 6 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognized over the period in which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the share-based compensation. Otherwise, share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of goods or services received. Share capital and warrants Common shares and warrants are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares or warrants are recognized as a deduction from the proceeds in equity in the period the transaction occurs. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued on a pro rata basis of their respective fair value within the unit, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model to determine the fair value of warrants issued. Flow-through shares The Corporation finances some exploration expenditures through the issuance of flow-through shares. The resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes are renounced to investors in accordance with the appropriate income tax legislation. The Corporation recognizes a deferred income tax liability for flow-through shares and a deferred income tax expense when the eligible expenditures are incurred. The difference between the quoted price of the common shares and the amount the investors pay for the shares (the “premium”) is recognized as other liability, which is reversed as a deferred income tax recovery when eligible expenditures have been made. Income tax Income tax on profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity, respectively. Mining taxes represent Canadian provincial tax levied on mining operations and are classified as income tax since such taxes are based on a percentage of mining profits. Current income tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end, adjusted for amendments to income tax payable with regard to previous years. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in income tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 7 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) Deferred income tax is provided using the consolidated statements of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is not recognized where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. The amount of deferred income tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current and are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and when deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Loss per share The Corporation presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all warrants, brokers’ options and stock options outstanding that may add to the total number of common shares. When the Corporation reports a loss, the diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants, broker’s options and stock options. Segment disclosures The Corporation currently operates in a single segment: the acquisition, exploration and development of mining and oil and gas properties. All of the Corporation’s activities are conducted in Quebec, Canada. Functional currency Items included on the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Corporation operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of each consolidated entity is the Canadian dollar. 8 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) 4 New accounting standards not yet adopted Unless otherwise noted, the following revised standards and amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, except for the adoption of IFRS 9, which is effective January 1, 2015, and IAS 1, which is effective July 1, 2012, with early adoption of the standards permitted. The Corporation is currently in the process of assessing the impact that the new and amended standards will have on its consolidated financial statements or whether to early adopt any of the new requirements. The following is a brief summary of the new standards. IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements IAS 1 was amended to change the disclosure of items presented in other comprehensive income, including a requirement to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. 9 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) IFRS 9 – Financial instruments IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models for debt instruments in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, with a new mixed measurement model with only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments, and such instruments are either recognized at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where such equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, dividends, to the extent not clearly representing a return of investment, are recognized in profit or loss; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated comprehensive income indefinitely. Requirements for financial liabilities were added in October 2010, and they mainly carried forward existing requirements in IAS 39, except that fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss would generally be recorded in other comprehensive income. IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 10 replaces parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and all of SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The remainder of IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements, now contains accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates only when an entity prepares separate financial statements and is therefore not currently applicable in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 requires a single method, known as the equity method, to account for interests in jointly controlled entities which is consistent with the accounting treatment currently applied to investments in associates. IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, was amended as a consequence of the issuance of IFRS 11. In addition to prescribing the accounting for investment in associates, it now sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for joint ventures. The Corporation does not currently have any joint ventures as at December 31, 2012. IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 12 establishes disclosure requirements for interests in other entities, such as joint arrangements, associates, special-purpose vehicles and off-balance sheet vehicles. The standard carries forward existing disclosures and also introduces significant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities. The standard includes disclosure requirements for entities covered under IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. 10 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement IFRS 13 provides guidance on how fair value should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS, including a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. The Corporation has not yet assessed the impact of this standard. 5 Critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. Estimates and other judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Corporation has made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. a) Impairment of non-financial assets The Corporation’s evaluation of the measurement of the recoverable amount with respect to the carrying amount of non-financial assets is based on numerous assumptions and may differ significantly from actual recoverable amounts. The recoverable amounts are based, in part, on certain factors that may be partially or totally outside of the Corporation’s control. This evaluation involves a comparison of the estimated recoverable amounts of non-financial assets to their carrying values. The Corporation’s estimates of the recoverable amounts are based on numerous assumptions. Those estimates may differ from actual recoverable amounts, and the differences may be significant and could have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position and result of operations. Assets are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each statement of financial position date and when an event or circumstance that could trigger impairment occurs. This determination requires significant judgment. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, an expiry of the right to explore in the specific area during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; substantive E&E expenditures in a specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; exploration for and evaluation of mineral or oil and gas resources in a specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral or oil and gas resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; or sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the assets is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant drop in commodity prices. No properties or deferred exploration expense were impaired in 2012 nor in 2011. 11 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) b) Impairment of financial assets The Corporation follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine when an available-for-sale equity instrument is impaired. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Corporation evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance and operational and financing cash flows. c) Cash and cash equivalents The Corporation holds investments in highly liquid money market investment funds (i.e. high-interest savings funds). The determination of whether a money market fund qualifies as a cash equivalent requires significant judgment. In determining whether such investments qualify as cash equivalents, the Corporation considers the following criteria: whether all investments held by the fund qualify individually as cash equivalents, the fund’s management and investment policies, and any position papers issued by the associated financial institution or others. d) Going concern The assessment of the Corporation’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements and exploration and evaluation activities involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 6 Cash and cash equivalents Cash on hand and bank balances Money market funds As at December 31, 2012 $ As at December 31, 2011 $ 106,389 1,947,684 2,054,073 268,984 1,589,852 1,858,836 12 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) 7 Marketable securities Bonds Corporate Financial institutions Total a) Interest rate As at December 31, 2012 As at December 31, 2011 Maturity 2 years Amount $ 515,165 - 515,165 Maturity Amount $ 3 years 1 year 505,975 519,575 1,025,550 As at December 31, 2012, the bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.27% (December 31, 2011 – at fixed rates ranging from 3.27% to 4.90%). b) Fair value For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation recognized in net loss for the year an unrealized gain of $9,190 (2011 – $2,580) and a realized loss of $19,575 (2011 – nil) on marketable securities. 8 Investments Investments comprise: Common shares of public company As at December 31, 2012 $ 420,000 420,000 As at December 31, 2011 $ 760,000 760,000 The unrealized loss on investments during the year comprises the following: Available-for-sale investments 2012 $ 2011 $ (340,000) (1,220,000) The fair value of the investments in common shares are based on the quoted market prices of those shares on a recognized stock exchange at the end of each reporting period. 13 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) The unrealized loss on available-for-sale investments are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

This is referred to as a “rolling plan”. Under the Option Plan amended in 2010, the term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years following the date of grant, while the term was five years before the amendment. 18 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) In 2012, the Corporation granted a total of 50,000 stock options to a director of the Corporation, which are exercisable at $0.25 per share. Options vested at the grant date. These options will expire on the tenth anniversary of their day of issuance. The fair value options awarded is $0.198 per share for a total share-based compensation expense of $9,900.

The tax benefits of the following temporary differences have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements: Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) Non-capital loss carryforward Capital loss Investments Resource assets Tax benefit on share issue expenses As at December 31, 2012 $ As at December 31, 2011 $ 769,075 1,476,708 48,714 199,234 - 652,485 1,476,708 2,168 199,916 44,575 Net deferred income tax assets 2,4893,731 2,375,852 As at December 31, 2012, the tax base of the exploration and evaluation assets totalled approximately $2,381,484 (December 31, 2011 – $2,343,811). The difference between the tax base and the amount capitalized is due mainly to the fact that certain exploration and evaluation assets were written down. 22 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) As at December 31, 2012, the Corporation had accumulated non-capital losses for tax purposes of approximately $2,858,017 (December 31, 2011 – $2,425,595) which can be used to reduce taxable income in future years as follows: Expiration date of tax loss carryforwards 2014 2015 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 Year incurred Federal and provincial $ 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 65,400 84,901 91,495 348,096 348,762 452,504 490,934 543,503 433,422 2,859,017 The Corporation’s balance of capital losses amounts to approximately $10,979,239 and can be carried forward indefinitely to be used against future capital gains. The Corporation is subject to federal and provincial income taxes and provincial mining taxes. Tax laws are complex and can be subject to different interpretations. The Corporation has prepared its tax provision based on the interpretations of tax laws which it believes represent the probable outcome. The Corporation may be required to change its provision for income tax if the tax authorities ultimately are not in agreement with the Corporation’s interpretation. 17 Financial risk management objectives and policies, and financial risks Financial risk management objectives and policies The Corporation is exposed to various financial risks resulting from both its operations and its investment activities. The Corporation’s management manages financial risks. The Corporation does not enter into financial instrument agreements, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The main financial risks to which the Corporation is exposed are detailed below. 23 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As further mentioned in note 1, the Corporation’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Corporation’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Corporation. The Corporation generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2012, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents amounting to $2,054,073 (December 31, 2011 – $1,858,836) to settle current liabilities of $16,487 (December 31, 2011 – $31,636). All of the Corporation’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Corporation regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Corporation is subject to concentrations of credit risk through cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investments and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consists mainly of goods and services tax due from the federal government and provincial sales tax due from the Quebec government, amounts receivable from a partner and interest receivable from reputable institutions. The Corporation reduces its credit risk by maintaining part of its cash and cash equivalents in financial instruments guaranteed by and held with a Canadian chartered bank and the remainder in financial instruments guaranteed by Canadian chartered banks held with an independent investment dealer member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund. The marketable securities are composed of bonds from reputable financial and corporate institutions. Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as market price and interest rates. Price risk The Corporation is exposed to price risk on equity securities because of its investments held in a junior exploration company. When trading its shares, unfavourable market conditions could result in the disposal of the Corporation’s listed shares at less than their value as at December 31, 2012. A 10% variation in the closing price on the stock market would result in an estimated ±$42,000 of net loss at year-end. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Corporation has cash balances, and its current policy is to invest excess cash in certificates of deposit or money market funds of major Canadian chartered banks. The bonds comprising marketable securities bear interest at fixed rates, and the Corporation is therefore exposed to the risk of changes in fair value resulting from interest rate fluctuations. The sensitivity of the Corporation to a 1% fluctuation in the interest rate would not have a significant impact. The Corporation’s other financial assets and financial liabilities are not subject to interest rate risk since they are non-interest bearing. 24 X-Terra Resources Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012 and 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) Fair value Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date, based on relevant market information and other information about financial instruments. The Corporation’s financial instruments as at December 31, 2012 consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, available-for-sale investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short maturity and current market rates. Fair value hierarchy Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly and Level 3 includes inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. There is no financial instruments included in Level 3.

The Corporation considers equity, which totals $4,683,702 as at December 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011 – $5,307,016), as its capital. The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to pursue its mining and oil and gas property exploration and evaluation activities. Accordingly, as necessary, it will attempt to obtain additional capital through equity markets. There were no significant changes in the Corporation’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Corporation doesn’t have any externally imposed capital requirements neither regulatory nor contractual requirements to which it is subject, unless the Corporation closes a flow-through private placement in which case the funds are restricted in use for E&E expenses. The changes in capital are presented in the statement of changes in equity. 26
