HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

CORPORATION OVERVIEW

HTC operates in three market sectors of business under the following commercial brands:

I. Energy Technologies & CO2 Systems

II. Oil & Gas Equipment Supply and Service

III. Fertilizer and Grain Handling Solutions

HTC is participating in the above three market sectors for commercialization based on their strong potential for immediate revenue growth and profitability.

In this MD&A, we provide a general overview of each of the market sectors and discuss the brand development and future potential for each of the three market sectors.

I. Energy Technologies and CO2 Systems Market Sectors

Companies doing business in the energy industry are looking for cost effective methods and new energy technologies to produce their products, while at that same time being environmentally sustainable and profitable. The Energy Technologies and CO2Systems Market Sector mandate is to develop and commercialize the technologies that satisfy these requirements and to commercialize this product offer world-wide. HTC has developed cost effective energy technologies and CO2 capture solutions for the power generation, oil and gas and industrial food grade CO2 markets that are easier to build, operate and maintain.

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

Modular Purenergy CCS® CO2 Capture Systems:

�Pre-engineered Modular Design, post-combustion CO2 capture system, customized to site requirements of regional and global oil and gas producers, electricity producers, industrial processors, and other CO2 emitters.�

The HTC CO2 Systems Purenergy CCS®

Capture System offers an economically viable, commercial scale CO2 capture system for industries seeking �Purenergy Solutions� in oil and gas, power generation, industrial chemical processing, cement production, and many other industrial and food grade applications. The CCS Purenergy® Capture System is a fully validated and optimized product of

technology aggregation and testing programs and is a recognized global brand in providing CO2 capture solutions. It is also a result of a multi-year collaboration with leading research institutions, Canadian and International engineering groups, world recognized engineering-procure-construct (�EPC�) companies, and original equipment manufacturers (�OEM�).

HTC CO2 Systems continues to focus its efforts on the development of smaller scale modular CO2 capture primarily from OTSG (Once Through Steam Generators) boilers used in SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage), CSS (Cyclic Steam Stimulation), and Oil Sands projects or from natural gas turbines for use in expanded oil recovery and for small industrial purposes. The development of these industry specific units in conjunction with its business partners should provide a potential market that will be more readily accessible, more immediate than larger scale projects, and subject to less impact by worldwide economic issues and delays in climate change legislation. The CO2Capture & Management Group continues to evaluate other industry specific areas where the existing technology can be adapted, such as the use of CO2 in oil and gas development for hydraulic fracturing purposes.

The HTC TKO� and RS� capture technologies are now being incorporated into commercial food grade CO2 capture systems manufactured by Messer ASCO of Switzerland and New Zealand. Messer ASCO will be commercially supplying HTC

designed products and solvents to global food grade CO2 markets such as breweries and beverage manufacturers in 2013.

SRS Solvent Reclaimer System in operation in California

Solvent Management Reclaimer System (�SRS�) � - Reclaimers (much like the human kidney), are required to remove the degradation products and suspended solids from the solvents used in the CO2 capture process. The optimal solvent blend for a particular CO2 capture application may be a blend of various different chemicals based on the composition and conditions of the gas being processed. HTC has developed a proprietary multi-phased reclaimer for mixed amines that can manage different solvent blends that may have different boiling points. By being able to manage and reclaim these mixed amines, the CO2 capture plant owner can significantly reduce the day to day operating costs of the plant. The SRS Solvent Reclaimer System will have finished final testing and be ready for commercialization by the fourth quarter of 2013.

II. Oil & Gas Equipment Supply and Services Market Sector

The Oil and Gas Equipment Supply and Service Market Sector has and continues to be a strong growth market in Western Canada and the United States. The sector is focused on providing a complete product line of manufactured oil field equipment and

REVENUES

For the Year the Corporation had operating revenue of $29,679,041 (2011 � $2,163,799). The substantial increase in revenues is attributable to the acquisition of an additional 20% of Maxx bringing the Corporation�s interest to 65% and resulting in a change from Equity accounting for 2011 to Consolidation in 2012. Revenues primarily relate to Maxx subsidiary operations. Consulting services in 2011 included fees received from the Corporation�s equity investee.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Costs of sales reflect manufacturing and sales costs associated with Maxx and its subsidiaries. The new disclosure results from the change to Consolidation from Equity.

Engineering and process design services include costs associated with the provision of engineering services. These amounts will vary with activity and with allocation to respective categories. Services for the Year were $478,536 as compared to $931,675 for the prior year. The change is a result of the nature of services, as well as how far the projects have progressed. A significant portion of costs associated with the generation of these revenues remains in the commercialization category below.

Commercialization, product development and administrative expenses for the Year were $8,832,334 as compared to $3,018,981 for the prior year. The increase in 2012 is primarily due to the consolidation of Maxx subsidiaries as well as more activity around product commercialization costs associated with new initiatives.

Research and development expenses for the Year were $0 as compared to $172,765 for the previous year. The decrease in research and development expense is attributable to reallocation of resources internally and emphasis on commercial development of units for the oil and gas sector. Doosan�s construction of test facilities during 2011 also

Page 15: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS · AND ANALYSIS For the year ending ... It is also a result of a multi-year collaboration with ... SRS Solvent Reclaimer System in operation in

HTC Purenergy Inc. | Year End 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis 15

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

impacted research spending in part because some of these costs are now being incurred by Doosan and because it was necessary to delay certain aspects of research and development while the units were being built (note: for the Year $160,598 of development costs incurred were capitalized and are not included in the Year amounts).

A significant portion of expenses, in the amount of $307,145 ($333,840 in 2011) represents amortization of product development costs, patents and intangibles associated with the acquisitions of subsidiaries. The remaining amortization is attributable to tangible assets.

INTEREST & OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

The Corporation recorded bank interest earned on short and long term investments and other income for the Year of $2,906 (2011 - $48,854). The reduction represents the decrease in cash held for investment.

Stock based compensation expense of $144,000 ($20,543 in 2011) represents a fair value estimate established by applying Black Scholes modeling to predict the value associated with options on the basis that they may be exercised before expiration. There is no cash consideration associated with the granting of these options. At the time options were awarded the exercise price was for a higher amount than the stock trading value. There is no cash outflow associated with this amount. The offset to this amount is reflected as an increase in contributed capital. This means the net impact on equity when considered as a whole is Nil due to the fact that the amount reflected as an expense and impacting retained earnings is offset by the corresponding amount in contributed capital.

OPERATING LOSS

For the Year, the Corporation had a loss of $284,692 from operations as compared to a loss of $2,370,643 from operations for the prior year. The change from last year is primarily attributable to the consolidation of Maxx as well as overall improvements in Maxx operations.

ADJUSTMENT TO CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES As a result of the completion of its annual review of goodwill and intangibles, as well as Management�s evaluation of Cash generating units as defined by IFRS and impairment testing requirements, goodwill and intangibles associated with operations that were discontinued during or at the completion of the 2011 year were written down by $5,557,340. This adjustment does not involve cash. There were no adjustments of this nature in respect to the Year. At December 31, 2012, intangibles subject to amortization of $1,254,120 net of accumulated amortization of $271,726 relating to CO2 Technologies Pty. Ltd. were transferred to available for sale assets.

IMPAIRMENT IN VALUE OF AVAILABLE FOR SALE INVESTMENT During the Year Management completed evaluation of the carrying value of its investment in Global Energy, Inc. Global is a private company, and as such, available information as well as third party information is somewhat limited. As a result of a

Page 16: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS · AND ANALYSIS For the year ending ... It is also a result of a multi-year collaboration with ... SRS Solvent Reclaimer System in operation in

HTC Purenergy Inc. | Year End 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis 16

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

review of available information at the time, Management felt that the investment to be carried may be too high due to some uncertainties surrounding Global�s financial position in relation to the estimated fair value of assets received (including trades stock) in exchanged for coal reserves held in 2011. Accordingly a reduction to the carrying value of $914,085 ($918,175 in 2011) was considered appropriate. This adjustment does not involve cash.

INCOME FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS

There is no income from Equity Investments in respect to the Year as the Corporation acquired control of Maxx and now reports its interest in the consolidated statements. Income from Equity Investments for the 2011 year was $(132,129) after considering provision for tax and the elimination of unrealized inter-corporate profits.

NET LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Net loss for the Year was $1,424,934 compared to a loss of $8,978,287 in the prior year. The improvement in income is primarily attributable to the adjustments in the prior year relating to intangibles goodwill and available for sale assets as well as the impact of the consolidation of Maxx Energy Solutions Corp. (�Maxx Energy�) and the improvements in their subsidiary operations.

The unrealized gain on financial assets available for sale was $130,655 versus a loss of $348,133 in 2011 and represents the net change in the carrying value of the investment in EESTech Inc. and USA Synthetic Fuel Corporation to the quoted value in a limited market. This adjustment does not involve cash.

Comprehensive net loss for the Year is $1,290,269 after considering the effects of the unrealized loss above as compared to a comprehensive net loss of $9,326,420 in the prior year. As noted above these adjustments do not involve cash.

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were $25,245,567 as at December 31, 2012, as compared to $13,801,406 as at December 31, 2011. The primary reasons for the increase is the adoption of consolidation on Maxx operations resulting in the recognition of Maxx and its subsidiaries in the financial statements.

Available for Sale AssetsThis represents EHR Enhanced Hydrocarbon Recovery Inc. (�EHR�) assets, not eliminated through consolidations, that have been reclassified as available for sale as EHR was sold January 29, 2013. Intangibles, subject to amortization of $1,254,120 net of accumulated amortization of $271,726, relating to CO2 Technologies Pty. Ltd. were transferred to available for sale assets.

The Corporation has capitalized development costs relating to the CCS Purenergy® CO2Carbon Capture System of $362,427 net of amortization ($404,712 in 2011), its Mixed

Page 17: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS · AND ANALYSIS For the year ending ... It is also a result of a multi-year collaboration with ... SRS Solvent Reclaimer System in operation in

HTC Purenergy Inc. | Year End 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis 17

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

Amine Solvent Reclaimer of $449,757 net of amortization ($290,219 in 2011), and its CCS FEEDengine® of $162,831 net of amortization ($181,440 in 2011). EHR Rising Bubble Apparatus costs accumulated to December 31, 2011 were $24,201. In 2012 the EHR Rising Bubble Apparatus was transferred to available for sale assets.

Expensed research and development costs and commercialization, product development, general and administration expenses are included in the Corporation�s December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements. Total accumulated research and development costs expensed from December 23, 2004 to December 31, 2012 are $3,203,862. Research and development costs incurred by subsidiaries prior to their acquisition are not included in this amount nor are costs incurred directly by HTC�s collaborative technology development research institutions.

CURRENT LIABILITIES

Current liabilities were $6,973,713 as at December 31, 2012, compared to $247,108 as at December 31, 2011. The increase is largely due to the addition of Maxx trade payables from operations and the current portion of long term debt (to the end of December 2012).

LONG TERM DEBT

Long term debt of $744,851 arises from requirement to consolidate Maxx�s existing debt.

SHAREHOLDERS� EQUITY

As at December 31, 2012 shareholders� equity was $17,527,003, compared to $13,554,298 as at December 31, 2011. The increase is largely attributable to the consolidation of Maxx and the recognition of minority interest of $3,622,249.

Non-controlling interest represents amounts arising from the minority positions of Maxx and EHR Enhanced Hydrocarbon Recovery Inc. that are not held by HTC.

CASH FLOW

Cash flows from operating activities were $1,278,211 for the Year, compared to $(1,523,472) for the same period of 2011. The increase primarily results from the consolidation of Maxx.

CHANGE IN CASH POSITION

Changes in cash position between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are largely attributable to the consolidation of Maxx and the self- financing element of the Maxx acquisition.

The Black Scholes Option Pricing Model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options for calculating stock based compensation expense. The Corporation recognized a stock based compensation expense and an increase to contributed surplus based on the vesting schedule of the option, based on the following assumptions:

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Change in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Corporation�s stock options.

The total fair value of stock based compensation expense on stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation as at December 31, 2011 was $505,543 relating to the issuance of June 14, 2010.

The total fair value of stock based compensation expense on stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation and cancelled during 2012 without replacement (IFRS 2) was $129,306. Fair value associated with new issuances was $36,000 for 2012.

The total fair value of stock based compensation expense on warrants granted was $108,000.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation has no off balance sheet arrangements.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

On April 12, 2013, the Corporation announced that, conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange Inc. approval, it plans to issue up to 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.125 per unit, for the gross proceeds of $250,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of HTC at $0.17 per common share for a period of 5 years after the date of issuance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill impairment is tested at the CGU level and is determined based on the recoverable amount exceeding the CGU�s carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell (FVLCS) and value in use (VIU). VIU is generally determined using the discounted cash flow method. If the impairment loss exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, the goodwill is written off completely. Any impairment loss left over is allocated to the remaining assets of the CGU. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management�s assessment of future trends in the energy services industry and are based on the external and internal sources, including historical data. The calculation of the VIU was based on the following key assumptions:

Cash flows were projected based on experience, actual operating results and the operational plan for the immediate year. Cash flows were projected using a growth rate of 2%.

Each CGU�s pre-tax discount rate of 10% reflects its individual size, risk profile and circumstance and is based on experience and the industry�s average weighted-average cost of capital.

At December 31, 2012, annual impairment tests for goodwill were conducted and it was determined that there was no impairment of goodwill in any CGU as the recoverable amount for each was higher than its respective carrying amount.

Management performed an analysis of the carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets as at December 31, 2012, according to its policy as set out in Note 4. In respect to the 2012 year Management evaluated goodwill and intangibles under the same criteria but adjusting for operational, legislative and business conditions that changed during the year

Goodwill and intangible assets were recorded on acquisition of the subsidiaries. IFRS requires identifiable intangible assets that meet recognition criteria be identified, valued and disclosed separately from goodwill. Items giving rise to intangibles and related goodwill include, but are not limited to: intellectual property (i.e. rights to provisional patents, technology rights software rights), contractual rights with advantageous conditions, human resources (i.e. research teams, project

Goodwill comprises the difference between the purchase price of the respective subsidiary and identifiable net tangible and intangible assets. At December 31, 2012, intangibles subject to amortization of $1,254,120 net of accumulated amortization of $271,726 relating to CO2 were transferred to available for sale assets.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks and uncertainty relate to dependence of CO2 emitters being legislated or provided incentive, to adapt CO2 capture technology and the price of oil for adoption of CO2 EOR.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the Year.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include: the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets, product development, underlying estimations of useful lives of depreciable assets, capitalization of interest, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, investments, fair value of financial instruments, and environmental remediation and contingent liabilities, if any.

The financial statements are based on management�s best estimates using information available. Uncertainty regarding the timing of anticipated large scale market demand for carbon capture technology, related legislative incentives, and uncertainty in financial markets has complicated the estimation process. Accordingly, the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates and assumptions may impact the actual results reported in future periods by a material amount.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Changing IFRS standard

IFRS has various developmental projects and is in the process of modifying existing standards and introducing new standards, these standards will be adopted as they are issued. The following new standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards have been published.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments In November 2009, the IASB issued guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9, financial assets will generally be measured initially at fair value plus particular transaction costs, and subsequently at either amortized cost or fair value. In October 2010, the IASB issued additions to IFRS 9 relating to accounting for financial liabilities. Under the new requirements, an entity choosing to measure a financial liability at fair value will present the portion of any change in its fair value due to changes in the entity�s own credit risk in other comprehensive income (�OCI�), rather than within net income. In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments which modify the requirements for transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The modifications introduce new disclosure requirements and eliminate the requirement to restate prior periods to reflect the new presentation. The standard is to be applied prospectively and will be effective for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 10, Financial Statements, Requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Under existing IFRS, consolidation is required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12, Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 11, Joint arrangements, This standard (issued May 12, 2011) requires a venture to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venture will recognize its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint ventures. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities-Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

HTC Purenergy Inc. | Year End 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis 27

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance relating to the disclosure requirements of interests in other entities. IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance establishing a single source for fair value measurement. IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and introduces consistent requirements for disclosures on fair value measurements. It does not determine when an asset, a liability or an entity�s own equity instrument is measured at fair value. Rather, the measurement and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 apply when another IFRS requires or permits the item to be measured at fair value, with limited exceptions. The standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements In September 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 requiring items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement to be grouped together. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods commencing on or after July 1, 2012, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and IFRS 7, Disclosures In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7 as part of its offsetting project. The amendments clarify certain items regarding offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities and also address common disclosure requirements. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and will be effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013 for IFRS 7 and January 1, 2014 for IAS 32, with earlier application permitted. If IAS 32 is early adopted, the disclosures required by the amendments to IFRS 7 must be provided. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: held for-trading; held-to-maturity; loans and receivables; available-for-sale; and other liabilities. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying amount of financial

Page 28: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS · AND ANALYSIS For the year ending ... It is also a result of a multi-year collaboration with ... SRS Solvent Reclaimer System in operation in

HTC Purenergy Inc. | Year End 2012 Management Discussion and Analysis 28

HTC Purenergy Inc. � Management�s Discussion & Analysis 2012

instruments except for held-for-trading instruments in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Measurement in subsequent periods is based on the classification of the financial instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and financial liabilities other than those held-for-trading, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Where the fair value of financial assets that are equity instruments is not determinable because there is no active market for the instrument, the asset is carried at cost and tested annually for impairment.

The Corporation�s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, and available-for-sale investments carried at fair value. The fair values of cash, short term deposits, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of available-for-sale investments other than those carried at cost is based on prices quoted on over the counter exchanges. The fair value of available-for-sale investments accounted for according to the cost basis is not practical to determine as the investments are not publicly traded. Available-for-sale investments carried at cost are tested annually for impairment.

The investment in EESTech Inc. is classified as available for sale. EESTech Inc. shares are issued on the US over the counter exchange and are subject to Rule 144 of the US Securities Act 1933 trading restrictions. They have been adjusted to their fair value as at December 31, 2012 based on quoted prices obtained from over the counter exchanges.

The investment in Global Energy Inc. is classified as available for sale. As it is a U.S. private company, they remain recorded at cost as there is no quoted active market for these securities. Based on available information obtained during 2011 and 2012, Management has determined that an adjustment to the carrying value of this asset is appropriate and accordingly reduced the carrying amount by $914,085 as at December 31, 2012 ($915,175 in December 2011).

The investment in USA Synthetic Fuel Corp (�USFC�) is classified as available for sale. USFC shares are issued on the US over the counter exchange. They have been adjusted to their fair value as at December 31, 2012.

The Investment in Maxx Chenglin Energy Products and Services Ltd., a private company is recorded at Cost. The investment has been classified as available-for-sale at cost. Fair value can not be reliably measured as there is no quoted active market for these securities.

The Maxx Energy investment represents 65% of the issued shares and is recorded using Consolidation.

Financial Risk Management

Management�s risk management policies are typically performed as a part of the overall management of the Corporation�s operations. Management is aware of risks related to these objectives through direct personal involvement with employees and outside parties. In the normal course of its business, the Corporation is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. Management�s close involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. The Corporation has not designated transactions as hedging transactions to manage risk. As a part of the overall operation of the Corporation, management considers the avoidance of undue concentrations of risk. These risks and the actions taken to manage them include the following:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Corporation's main sources of liquidity are its operations and equity financing. The funds are primarily used to finance working capital and capital expenditure requirements and are adequate to meet the Corporation�s financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. Risk associated with debt financing is mitigated by having negotiating terms over several years and renegotiating terms before they are due. Loans expiring January 2013 have been renewed under similar terms. Total debt outstanding per note 13 is $853,882 in respect to 2012. Total payments including interest to maturity is $1,050,332. Amounts due in the next year including interest is $109,031

Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates may have an effect on future cash flows associated with financial instruments. The Corporation has no significant transactions denominated in foreign currency and is not exposed to any material foreign currency risk aside from broad unquantifiable macro-economic factors arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange which could result in Canadian products becoming more expensive to international purchasers.

Foreign exchange risk is primarily associated with contracts for services and contracts of supplies and services. Substantially all of the Corporation�s revenues and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, and therefore is isolated from foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk primarily is associated with interest fluctuations earned on the Corporation�s cash and term deposits and long term debt. The Corporation mitigates exposure by attempting to match rates and terms to expected cash requirements, and through having the majority of its revenues and expenses denominated in Canadian dollars. Interest risk associated with long term loans is mitigated by arranging terms that extend for multiple years (see note 13). A 1% change in the prime interest rate would have a negligible impact on the Corporation�s income.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if counterparty to a financial transaction fails to meet its obligations. The Corporation attempts to reduce such exposure to its cash,

and short term deposits by mostly investing in low risk investments with Canadian Chartered Banks and taking advantage of government guarantees. The Corporation attempts to reduce its loss on amounts receivable by assessing the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligation under contract prior to entering into the contracts and by the nature of customers the Corporation deals with. There have been no significant impairment losses recorded on accounts receivable. There have been no significant bad debts realized over the last few years ($3,061 in respect to 2012 and $27,300 in respect to 2011).

Due to project nature of operations of the Corporation, management considers accounts receivable outstanding less than 90 days to be current amounts over 90 days are also considered current if extended terms and security is provided or amounts are subject to contract restrictions and performance markers. The aging of the Corporation�s accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Current Over 90 Days Total

Aging of accounts receivable at Dec. 31, 2012

$ 5,376,196 $ 78,810 $5,455,006

Aging of accounts receivable at Dec. 31, 2011 $ 932,206 $ 932,479 $1,864,685
