The following discussion (the
"MD&A") of the financial condition and results of operations of Sharpe
Resources Corporation Inc. (the "Corporation") constitutes management's review
of the factors that affected the Corporation's financial and operating performance for the
first quarter ending March 31, 2010. The MD&A was prepared as of May 24th, 2010 and
should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as at
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of the
Corporation, including the notes thereto. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts discussed
herein are denominated in United States dollars.
Overview
The Corporation is continued under the Canadian Business
Corporations Act (CBCA) and its common shares are listed in the United States on the
OTC:BB symbol SHGP.
The Corporation is considered in the exploration stage as of January 1,
2002 as it started disposing of its interest in petroleum and natural gas properties that
year. The Corporation completed the disposal of these properties during the fiscal year
ended on December 31, 2005. The Corporation is currently engaged in the development of
coal and coal gas projects in the northern and central Appalachian region of the eastern
United States.
The Corporation has one reportable business segment. Substantially all
of the Corporation's assets are located in the United States except for small balances
held in Canadian banks. The Corporation's operations in Canada consist of general and
administrative expenses necessary to maintain the Corporation's public Corporation status.
Results of Operations
The net loss for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010 was
$17,291 as compared to the net loss of $19,712 for the first quarter ending March 31,
2009. General and Administrative expenses decreased from $14,427 for the first quarter
ending March 31, 2009 to $13,836 for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010.
Revenue increased from $1929 for the first quarter ending March 31,
2009 to $2,723 for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010 and represents interest income
and various small override interests in petroleum and natural gas properties.
On December 1, 2007, the Corporation entered into an agreement to
acquire a 100% interest in Standard Energy Corporation ("Standard"). Standard is
a private company related by virtue of its ownership by an officer and director of the
Company. Standard's primary asset includes 100% ownership interest in all of the coal
seams on more than 17,000 acres in Preston County, West Virginia. The purchase price
consisted of the forgiveness of the repayment of $250,000 demand promissory note owing
from Standard
Page 2
to the Company and the issuance
of 2 million shares of the Company's common stock. The agreement was subject to regulatory
approvals and as of December 31, 2009, the business combination has not been approved. The
2 million shares of the Company's common stock were not issued as of December 31, 2009.
Subsequent to the 2009 year end, this transaction was terminated. The Company has an
accounts receivable due from Standard Energy Company of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
The Company has entered into an option agreement whereby it agreed to
an option for RSM to acquire a 50% interest in coal properties in eastern Kentucky by
advancing to the project $2 million prior to December 9, 2009. Once the option is
exercised by RSM a 50/50 joint venture agreement will be entered into by the parties. The
optionee of the agreement is RSM which is related to the Company due to the fact that they
have common management and directors. On September 11, 2009, RSM obtained an extension of
the option and joint venture agreement it has with the Company. The extension allows RSM
to incur expenditures of $2,000,000 under the agreement up to December 9, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation's cash balance at March 31, 2010 was $7,556
compared to $89,138 at December 31, 2009. Total assets at March 31, 2010 were $337,731
compared to $339,138 at December 31, 2009.
Total liabilities increased $15,884 in the first quarter 2010 going
from $876,632 at December 31, 2009 to $89,516 at March 31, 2010 and is the result of a an
increase in Accounts payable of $15,903.
Following is a summary of contractual obligations including payments
due for each of the next five years and thereafter.

On a forward going basis equity and debt financings will remain the
single major source of cash flow for the Corporation. As revenue from operations improve
the capital requirement of the Corporation will also improve. However, debt and equity
financings will continue to be a source of capital to expand the Corporation's activities
in the future.
The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common
Shares of which 46,619,863 are outstanding at March 31, 2010. Also at March 31, 2010 the
Corporation had outstanding options to purchase 3,580,000 common shares with exercise
prices of C$0.10 per share and expiration dates ranging from May 2010 to May 2013.

(i) The purpose of this transaction was to acquire an asset that Sharpe would become an
interest holder in the project either in Standard Energy Corporation
("Standard") or a direct interest in the Kingwood Coal Project. Standard is
related by virtue of its ownership by an officer and director of the Corporation. The loan
receivable was unsecured, non-interest bearing and no date was set for its repayment. On
December 1, 2007, Sharpe entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Standard
Energy as described in Note 10(a) of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as at
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of the
Corporation. This transaction was cancelled during the first quarter 2010.
(ii) This loan is payable to an officer and director of the Corporation and was used to
fund payables. It is unsecured, bearing interest at 8% and has no date set for repayment.
The interest payable on this loan has been accrued but has not yet been paid.
(iii) Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM") is a related
Corporation by virtue of common management and common directors. The loan payable was
unsecured, non-interest bearing and had no date set for its repayment. On September 9,
2008, the Corporation entered into an agreement with RSM for the repayment of the loan. To
this end, the Corporation has executed a promissory note (the "Note") in favor
of RSM that provides for the repayment of the loan over a three-year period commencing on
September 9, 2008. The first principle payment of $42,499 was due on September 9, 2009,
$42,499 on September 9, 2010 and $42,499 on September 9, 2011. Pursuant to the Note, the
outstanding amount of the loan will accumulate interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such
interest to accrue daily and be payable monthly, in arrears on the first business day of
each and every month commencing on October 9, 2008 until the full amount of the loan
together with all interest on such amount has been repaid in full. For the year ended
December 31, 2009, the Company accrued interest of $2,841 (2008 - $1,483) on this
liability.
On September 11, 2009, RSM obtained an extension of the option and
joint venture agreement it has with the Company as disclosed in Note 10(b) of the
Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and
for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of the Corporation. As consideration
for this extension, RSM cancelled the Note received from the Company and received an new
promissory note in the amount of $133,134 at 0% interest payable in three equal
installments on September 9, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
(iv) This loan was payable to Kentucky Standard Energy Corporation with
which the Company has common management and common directors. It was unsecured,
non-interest bearing, and was repaid in February, 2009.
These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are
considered to be in the best interest of all shareholders to support corporate growth and
future development and are measured at the exchange amount (the amount of consideration
established and agreed to by the related parties which approximate the arm's length
equivalent value).

Changes in Accounting
Policies
Changes in accounting policies are explained in detail in Note 2 of
the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for
the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of the Corporation.
Risk and Uncertainties
At the present time, the Corporation does not have sufficient
assets to maintain ongoing profitability. The Corporation's ability to acquire and develop
new projects is a function of its ability to raise the necessary capital to pursue the
efforts successfully.
The Corporation has limited financial resources and there is no
assurance that additional capital will be available to it for further acquisitions,
exploration and development of new or existing projects. Failure to obtain such additional
financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and
development of the property interests of the Corporation with the possible dilution or
loss of such interests. The Corporation's Audited Financial Statements contain a note
about the Corporation's ability to continue as a Going concern.
The Corporation's business is subject to variety of risks and
uncertainties. These risks are explained in detail in Note 4 of the Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of the Corporation.
Environment
Operations, development and exploration projects could potentially
be affected by environmental laws and regulations of the country in which the activities
are undertaken. The environmental standards continue to change and the global trend is to
a longer, more complex process. Although the Corporation continuously reviews
environmental matters and undertakes to comply with changes as expeditiously as possible,
there is no assurance that existing or future environmental regulation will not materially
adversely affect the Corporation's financial condition, liquidity and results of
operation. Certain environmental issues, such as storm events, tailings storage seepage,
dust and noise emissions, while having been assessed and strategies based on best
practices have been adopted, there can be no assurance an unforeseen event will not occur
which could have a material adverse effect on the viability of the Corporation's business
and affairs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Corporation has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management's Responsibility
for Financial Information
The Corporation's financial statements are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management, and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The
consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Corporation's management in
accordance with Canadian and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
consolidated financial statements include certain amounts based on the use of estimates
and assumptions. Management established these amounts in a reasonable manner, in order to
ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.
Forward Looking Statements
This MD&A includes certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A that
address activities, events or developments that the Corporation expects or anticipates
will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy,
competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the Corporation's businesses,
operations, plans and other such matters are forward-looking statements. When used in this
MD&A, the words "estimate", "plan", "anticipate",
"expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to joint venture operations,
actual results of current exploration activities, changes in project parameters as plans
continue to be refined, unavailability of financing, fluctuations in oil and gas prices
and other factors. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that
cause results to be different than anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
