CORPORATE OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

The Company was classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX‐V” or the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4. The Company did not complete a qualifying transaction within the 24 months from listing on the TSX‐V, and was therefore subject to halt of trading and delisting from the TSX‐ V. On January 6, 2016, the Company’s listing transferred to the NEX, and resumed trading under the symbol “RCC.H”. The Company was incorporated as a private company by Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on February 9, 2012.

Red Rock has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a transaction where the Company acquires significant assets, other than cash, by way of purchase, amalgamation, merger or arrangement with another company or by other means (a "Qualifying Transaction"). Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange.

Red Rock's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an agreement to acquire an interest in a material asset or business. Management believes the Company has sufficient working capital to meet its liabilities for the next twelve months.

Red Rock's head office and registered and records office address is 2200 ‐ 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E8.

RED ROCK CAPITAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders’ equity and any debt that it may issue. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to fund existing operations, search for new business opportunities and thereby provide returns to its shareholders. The Company does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the business.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. As at March 31, 2021, the Company does not have any long‐term debt outstanding and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement or debt covenants. There was no change to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended March 31, 2021.

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $660,327 including cash and cash equivalents that totalled $661,421. The Company does not have any sources of revenue except for small amounts of interest earned on the bank deposits. The Company does not have any assets of merit and a history of losses. The future success of the Company is dependent on the identification and successful negotiation/acquisition of a sustainable/viable business operation together with the ability to finance the necessary funding, at agreeable terms, to support a business acquisition. The Company expects to incur further losses in its pursuit of a new business opportunity and has limited funds from which to support these activities. Additionally, the Company may have insufficient funds from which to fund the acquisition of an identified business opportunity. As such, the Company may require additional financing to accomplish its long‐term strategic objectives. There can be no certainty of the Company’s ability to raise additional financing. If the Company is unable to finance itself, it is possible that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors could raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

A summary of the Company’s cash flows during the period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

For the three For the three

RED ROCK CAPITAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

administrative and reporting needs of the Company along with performing due diligence with respect to opportunities presented to the Company.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS under the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than a process of forced liquidation. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

As at March 31, 2021, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and accounts payable.

In management’s opinion, the Company’s carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the immediate or short‐term maturity of these instruments.

Classification

The following table summarizes information regarding the carrying values and classification of the Company’s financial instruments:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Fair value throughprofit or loss(i) $661,421 $686,007

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

7

RED ROCK CAPITAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to the following risks:

a. Financial Instrument risk

i. Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high credit quality financial institution. Credit risk is assessed as low.

ii. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company performs cash flow forecasting for each fiscal year to ensure sufficient cash is available to fund its projects and operations. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a balance in cash and cash equivalents balance of $661,421 to settle current liabilities of $8,181. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable which have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due in demand.

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate positive cash flows. The Company’s primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities through private placements. Despite previous success in acquiring these financings, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings.

iii. Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant market risk.

a. Interest rate risk

As of March 31, 2021, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from the cash maintained at Canadian financial institutions. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant due to its short term nature and maturity.

b. Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. The Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in currency other than Canadian dollars.

Incurred consulting fees of $Nil (2020 – $3,390) to directors of the Company and to a company with a common director in the amount of $Nil (2020 ‐ $1,200).

As at March 31, 2021, the Company is owed $7,087 (2020 ‐ $Nil) from a company with a common director. The amount is non‐interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

Key management personnel comprise the Company’s Board of Directors and executive officers. No remuneration was paid to key management personnel during the period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 other than as indicated above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

  • a) Critical accounting estimates

Fair value of share options and warrants

Determining the fair value of warrants and share options requires assumptions related to the choice of a pricing model, the estimation of share price volatility, the expected forfeiture rate and the expected term of the underlying instruments. Any changes in the estimates or inputs utilized to determine fair value could result in a significant impact on the Company’s future operating results or on other components of shareholders’ equity.

Income taxes

The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and deferred income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

b) Critical accounting judgements

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the statements are, but are not limited to, the following:

RED ROCK CAPITAL CORP. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

Determination of functional currency

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency determination was conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The determination of functional currency involves certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency if there are changes in events and conditions of the factors used in the determination of the primary economic environment.

Going Concern

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital of $660,327 (December 31, 2020 –$678,946). The Company believes that it has sufficient funds from which to finance its operating activities for the next 12 months.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The significant risks and uncertainties of the Company are detailed in management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in the period.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company currently has no off‐balance sheet arrangements.
