CARBON DONE RIGHT

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

February 28, 2025 - The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of financial condition and results of operations for Carbon Done Right Developments Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Carbon Done Right" or the "Company" which includes references to "we", "our", "us", "its"), is a review of the operations, current financial position and condition for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements and introduces financial measures which are not defined under IFRS aimed at helping the reader in making comparisons to metrics similarly disclosed by industry peers. Readers are cautioned that the MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's disclosure under "Non-GAAP Measures" and "Forward-Looking Information" included at the end of this MD&A.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Carbon Done Right, headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a carbon exploration and development company with global reach into jurisdictions with the highest production potential from forestry and marine carbon sequestration projects.

The Company's focus is on mobilizing investment dollars to develop nature-based solutions on an unprecedented scale drawing on the experience of some of the most senior executives in the mining and resource sectors and emerging market leaders.

Carbon Done Right is in the business of developing validated and verified carbon credits from afforestation and reforestation of degraded land areas and marine ecosystems, including mangroves, for sale into international voluntary carbon markets. In contrast to streaming and royalty companies, Carbon Done Right works upstream as a direct owner and operator of projects, addressing a key supply constraint in the current market and the rapidly growing demand for carbon credits in global voluntary and regulated markets. Carbon Done Right intends to achieve this by investing in the exploration, restoration and management of terrestrial and marine systems that can either be protected to enhance the sequestration of greenhouse gases or restored from a degraded status to fully productive ecosystems. Carbon Done Right will draw on the experience of a senior executive team and board that provide access into key target jurisdictions through relationships in the mining and natural resources sectors, combined with decades of experience in carbon markets. Carbon Done Right plans to deploy capital at risk under various arrangements (including cooperation, assignment and production sharing agreements) with large landowners and governments in various suitable jurisdictions around the world. Carbon Done Right secures pre-purchase and offtake agreements with funds, commodity traders, and large final emitters to finance the development of Nature Based Solutions.

Carbon Done Right was incorporated under the British Columbia Companies Act as a Specialty Limited Company on November 21, 1963. In July 1998, the Company continued to the Cayman Islands. In February 2018, the Company continued back to British Columbia. Prior to the COB (as defined below), the Company's principal business activities historically included acquiring options to explore and develop mineral properties, internationally. From a period beginning in 2003 and ending on closing date of the COB (as defined below), the Company was inactive with limited operations, and its common shares ("Common Shares") were listed on the NEX board of the TSXV ("NEX") under the symbol "ERL.H".

The current year's losses were higher compared with prior year's, with the increase due mainly to the loss in PTHL's Leasehold Estate lease termination and the disposal loss of related property assets, partially offset by decreased business and operational activities during the current year. More specifically, the following contributed to the movements noted:

2024 Q4 MD&A Carbon Done Right Development Inc.


CARBON DONE RIGHT

i) Cost of goods sold was $94k in the current year vs. $227K in the prior year. This is in line with lower revenues from coconuts as a result of lower production in the current year.
ii) Depreciation expense was $126k in the current year vs. $127K in the prior year. This is in line with prior year's given there were no additions in property, plant, and equipment during the period.
iii) Marketing expense was $299K in the current year vs. $592K in the prior year. There was less focus from the Company in the current year on building awareness of the Company as it did in the prior year after the COB.
iv) Consulting expenses were $1.3 million in the current year vs. $2.2 million in the prior year. The Company reduced Yucatan related consulting expenses, as well as consulting fees related to its Liberia and Sierra Leone operations compared with prior year.
v) Office and administrative expenses were $144K in the current year vs. $464K in the prior year. The Company reduced insurance and payroll expenses compared with prior year given lower operational needs.
vi) The Company recorded finance costs of $452k in the current year vs. $296K in the prior year. This is predominantly due to increased interest and accretion from new promissory notes issued during the current period.
vii) The Company recorded a $367k loss on asset disposal in the current year vs. $nil in the prior year due to bearer plants, rehabilitation assets and equipment being disposed of, as well as a loss of $2.8 million from the termination of the PTHL Leasehold Estate lease vs. $nil in the prior year.

Q4 2024 in comparison to Q1, Q2 and Q3 2024

Q4 2024 net losses was lower than historical quarters in 2024 and can be attributable to lower expenses incurred towards marketing and investor relations expenses, as well as consulting fees. This is due to the overall decreased business activities carried out during the current period. Total assets increased during the period predominantly due to an increased amount related to carbon credit streaming agreement with BP. Non-current debt increased during the period as a result an increase in deferred revenue from the carbon credit prepurchase agreement.

Q4 2024 in comparison to all historical quarters in 2023

The Company continues to run a net loss in the current quarter as the Company has continued to incur expenses growing our global carbon presence. Major contributors to this include consulting and professional fees, as well as finance costs. The significant decrease in total assets is mainly due to the decrease in right of use assets related to the PTHL Leasehold Estate lease. Working capital deficit continues to increase as the Company has deployed the capital it had raised on various initiatives in the global carbon space as we continue to develop our business. Non-current debt increased during the period as a result of an increase deferred liability and derivative liability from the carbon credit prepurchase agreement.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company's working capital deficiency was $4.4 million (December 31, 2023 – $2.0M deficiency). The decreased working capital is largely due to the increase in accounts payable as well as new current loans obtained during the year.

Cash flow used in operating activities in the current year was $744K vs. $2.0M in 2023. The decrease in cash flow used in operating activities from 2024 to 2023 was predominantly the result of the decrease in net loss during the period after adjusting for the loss on lease termination and asset disposal, as well as the decrease in non-cash operating working capital changes related to accounts payable and prepaid expenses, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

Cash flow used in investing activities during the current year was $2.1M vs. $729K in 2023. The increase is predominantly due to the increased advances into the Maforki project.

Cash flows from financing activities in the current year were $2.7M vs. $973K in 2023. The cash flows during the current year arose from funds received in relation to the pre-purchase agreement with BP Carbon Trading Ltd. and proceeds from the new loans entered into during the year.

The Company's strategy is to carry a capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of any identified business opportunities and to maintain a flexible capital structure for the benefit of its stakeholders.

The Company considers its capital structure to include working capital, debt, lease liabilities and shareholders' equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in the economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, enter into joint venture arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets and adjust capital and operating expenditures to manage its current and projected available capital.

RISK ASSESSMENT

There are a number of risks facing the Company. Some of the risks are common to all businesses while others are specific to the sector within which the Company operates.

2024 Q4 MD&A Carbon Done Right Development Inc. 10


CARBON DONE RIGHT

Many of these risks are outside of the Company's control. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those of which management is not currently aware of or which are currently deemed immaterial, may adversely affect the Company. Any of these factors, either alone or taken together, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and could change whether any forward-looking statements are ultimately realized.

These risks cannot be eliminated, however, the Company's management is committed to proactively monitoring, and where possible, mitigating risk. Issues affecting, or with the potential to affect, the Company's assets, operations and/or reputation, are generally of a strategic nature or are emerging issues that can be identified early and then managed, but occasionally include unforeseen issues that arise unexpectedly and must be managed on an urgent basis. The Company takes a proactive approach to the identification and management of issues that may affect the Company's assets, operations and/or reputation and has established consistent and clear policies, procedures, guidelines and responsibilities for issue identification, management and mitigation.

The general and specific risks to which the Company is exposed to as well as the business risks with regards to the COB as described in the "Change of Business Transaction and Reactivation of Listing" section is summarized in the "Risk Factors" section below and should be read in conjunction with the detailed "Risk Factors" section in the Company's Filing Statement (In respect of the Change of Business Transaction of Earl Resources Limited pursuant to Policy 5.2 of the TSX Venture Exchange) dated as of June 8, 2022 and available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

RISK FACTORS

The Company is subject to various risks and investment in its publicly traded Common Shares should be considered highly speculative. The Company considers the following material risk factors in addition to those outlined or otherwise referred to below, related to both its own operations and that of its subsidiary PTHL. If any of the following risks or uncertainties occur, the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of the Company's securities could decline.

Additional Funding

Depending on future exploration, development, acquisition and divestiture plans, the Company may require additional financing. In particular, the current projects of the Company are capital intensive and may never be able to realize any revenue or profits until considerable additional financing has been arranged to bring such projects into a position where they are able to validate and verify carbon credits.

The Company's Management Team may not be Successful in implementing its Business Strategy

There can be no assurance that the Company's management team will be successful in implementing its strategy or that forecasted results will be realized going forward. The management team may experience difficulties in effecting key strategic goals such as growth and investment top tier assets and the development of exploration projects. The performance of the Company's operations could be adversely affected if the Company's management team cannot implement the stated business strategy effectively.

Inaccurate Estimates of Growth Strategy

Market opportunity estimates and growth strategies are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate and may not be indicative of future growth. Since the growth in demand for carbon credits from large voluntary market the Company is relatively new, the trend may not gain wider acceptance, or experience widespread growth, as anticipated.

While the Company's estimates of growth are made in good faith and based on assumptions and estimates the Company believes to be reasonable, the estimates may not prove to be accurate. Further, even if the

2024 Q4 MD&A Carbon Done Right Development Inc. 11

estimate of market opportunity and growth strategy does prove to be accurate, the Company could fail to capture a significant portion, or any portion, of the available market.

Non-Operated Risk of Significant Assets

The assets not operated by the Company in which the Company has a 65% ownership interest in, and the majority of near-term future revenues are attributed to that asset. As a result, the Company may not have the ability to manage development of the assets on a pace that the Company would choose. Further, managing the cost of development is largely the responsibility of the operator of the asset. To date, the operator and the Company have agreed on the exploration and development efforts for the asset. A Joint Operating Agreement between PTHL and the Company will be put in place to provide certain protections such as the right to audit the operator, the right for approval of all capital plans for the block and the approval of an annual capital and operating budget.

Projects

The Company's ability to produce, sustain or increase levels of carbon credit production is dependent in part on the success of its projects. There are many risks and unknowns inherent in all projects. For example, the economic feasibility of projects is based upon many factors, including:

  • the accuracy of carbon credit reserve estimates;
  • carbon recoveries with respect to Carbon Done Right projects;
  • capital and operating costs of such projects;
  • the timetables for the construction, commissioning and ramp-up of such projects and any delays or interruptions;
  • the accuracy of engineering and technical specification and changes in scope;
  • the ability to manage large-scale construction;
  • the future prices of the carbon credits; and
  • the ability to secure appropriate financing to develop such projects.

The Company's ability to maintain its license to operate in all of the jurisdictions in which the Company has projects is also important to the success of those projects.

Risks Inherent in an Agriculture Business

The Company's business involves cultivation of agricultural products. As such, the business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, including but not limited to, pests, plant diseases, crop failure and similar agricultural risks. There can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on the volume, quality and consistency of the Company's agriculture products, and of agricultural products processed from the projects, and consequently on the Company's sales, profitability and financial condition.

Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements

The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and production within the project areas, may require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations are and may be subject to laws and regulations governing growing, cultivation and similar activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all approvals and permits that may be required to develop or operate the projects on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs. In particular, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive the Government Consent (as defined above) required for the Yucatan Contract.

The Company Relies on International Advisors and Consultants in Order to Keep Abreast of Material Legal, Regulatory and Government Developments that Impact its Business and Operations in the Jurisdictions in which it Operates.

The legal and regulatory requirements in the foreign countries in which the Company operates, as well as local business culture and practices are different from those in Canada. The Company's officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on local legal counsel and consultants in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company's business operations, and to assist with governmental relations. The Company must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the board of directors who have previous experience working and

conducting business in these countries, if any, in order to enhance its understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices. The Company also relies on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with current and new regulations that develop in respect of the cultivation and sale of carbon credits as well as in respect of banking, financing, labour, litigation and tax matters in these jurisdictions. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond its control. The impact of any such changes may adversely affect the Company's business.

Risks Specific to Foreign Subsidiary PTHL

A significant portion of the Company's business is carried on through a foreign subsidiary, PTHL. Accordingly, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between the parent corporation and this entity, could restrict the Company's ability to fund its operations efficiently. Any such limitations, or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on the Company's valuation and stock price. The performance of PTHL can be impacted by many factors:

  • Risk operating in Guyana
  • Risk to war
  • Coconut market risk
  • Labor costs
  • Climate risk
  • Risk of theft

Risks Specific to PTHL's Operations

Harvesting, processing, and development activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources, and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government, or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect PTHL's operations, financial condition, and results of operations. Operating risks include but are not limited to the following:

  • Energy Prices
  • Other Agricultural Risk
  • Supply and Demand Imbalances
  • Coconut Disease
  • Other Environmental Factors
  • Biological pests (bugs, fungus)

The risks referred to herein are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair its business operations. These risk factors could materially affect the Company's future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company.

FINANCIAL RISKS

The Company defines financial risk as the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from financial management and market conditions that could have a positive or negative impact on the Company's cash flows.

Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to certain financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The following table summarizes the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

2024 Q4 MD&A Carbon Done Right Development Inc. 14

Deferred liability 924,577 450,688
Fair value through profit or loss:
Derivative liability 2,312,948 870,812

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Company's net loss or value of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The Company may manage its interest expense using a mix of fixed and variable interest rates on its debt. Changes in interest rates could result in an increase or decrease in the amount the Company pays to service variable interest rate debt.

The interest rates on PTHL's debt loans payable are fixed and not subject to interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is primarily exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar in relation to its foreign operations.

A 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar would have had no material impact on the net loss and comprehensive loss of the Company at December 31, 2024.

Commodity price risk

The Company may be exposed to commodity price risk through the sale of its agricultural produce and biological assets and inventories held.

At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not hold significant biological assets or inventories nor has it recognized significant revenue related to the sale of its agricultural produce.

Carbon market risk

Carbon market risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate from changes in market forces including, but not limited to, interest rates, voluntary carbon credit prices, foreign exchange, and timing and number of anticipated carbon credit deliveries and sales. There has been no change in fair value in the year for the carbon credit assets acquired.

2024 Q4 MD&A Carbon Done Right Development Inc. 15


CARBON DONE RIGHT

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial asset will default, resulting in the Company incurring a financial loss.

The Company's accounts receivables are predominantly for PTHL customers and other partners who are subject to normal industry credit risks in Guyana. The Company assesses the creditworthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis as well as monitoring the amount and age of balances outstanding. Accordingly, the Company views the credit risks on these amounts as normal for the industry. The carrying amount of accounts receivable represents the maximum credit exposure on this balance.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure ECL. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Company's accounts receivable payment terms with customers vary by contract; however, standard payment terms are 30 days from the invoice date. Any credit risk related to the accounts receivable will have an immaterial impact to the Company.

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $18,377 at December 31, 2024, which represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets (December 31, 2023 - $156,549). The cash is held with major, high credit-quality financial institution counterparties and management believes credit risk is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to fulfill its obligations associated with financial liabilities on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient available resources to meet its liquidity requirements at any point.

The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease obligations and long-term debt.

The Company mitigates this risk through efforts to maintain the support of its lenders and through the issuance of additional capital, if required.

The Company has the following payments (gross amount, undiscounted) due within the period noted below:

Within 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years Total
Accounts payables 3,455,491 - - - 3,455,491

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, CHANGES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company's audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and unaudited interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

CARBON DONE RIGHT

A summary of significant accounting policies can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and unaudited interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on these Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

A summary of the Company's critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on these Financial Statements.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Company's financial statements, including the maintenance of appropriate information systems, procedures and internal controls, and to ensure that information used internally or disclosed externally, including the financial statements and MD&A, is complete and reliable.

Disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding information to be included in public disclosures required under Canadian securities law.

Internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR") are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Absolute assurance cannot be provided that all misstatements have been detected because of inherent limitations in all control systems. The Company's management is responsible for designing and maintaining adequate ICFR for the Company.

The Company has commenced a process to strengthen its control systems and internal control environment.

It should be noted that a control system, including the Company's disclosure and internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met and it should not be expected that the disclosure and internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud.
