All financial information in this MD&A has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are quoted in Canadian dollars, the reporting and functional currency of Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (formerly Blue Lagoon Capital Inc.) (“Blue Lagoon” or the “Company”) unless specifically noted.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This MD&A may contain “forward-looking statements” which reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future results of operations, performance and achievements of the Issuer. The Issuer has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by, among other things, using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions. The statements reflect the current beliefs of the management of the Company and are based on currently available information. Accordingly, these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Issuer to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements.

Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from the following discussions and analysis may not necessarily indicate future results from operations.
COVID – 19
In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 Global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the Canadian federal government as well as provincial and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown to what extent the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing for exploration or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

with share issuances, the exercise of options and/or warrants, debt, or other sources. There can be no certainty of the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through these means.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to meet their payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any variable rate debt, The interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is insignificant and the Company does not rely on interest to fund its operations. As a result, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
