The CPC Stock Options are qualified for distribution under this prospectus. See "Options to Purchase Securities".
Market for Securities
There is currently no market through which the Common Shares may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Common Shares purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Common Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Common Shares, and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".
The Company has applied to list its Common Shares (including the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Agent's Warrants) on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the Exchange.
As at the date of the prospectus, the Company does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc).
Other than the initial distribution of the Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus and the grant of the Agent's Warrants and the grant of the CPC Stock Options, trading in all securities of the Company is prohibited during the period between the date a receipt for the preliminary prospectus is issued by the securities commission that is designated the principal regulator pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 11-102 - Passport System and National Policy 11-202 - Process for Prospectus Reviews in Multiple Jurisdictions and the time the Common Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, except subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange, where appropriate registration and prospectus exemptions are available under securities legislation or where the applicable securities commissions grant a discretionary order.

Risk Factors
Investment in the Common Shares offered by this prospectus is highly speculative due to the nature of the Company's business and its present stage of development. This Offering is suitable only to those investors who are prepared to risk the loss of their entire investment. See "Risk Factors".
The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions. The Company may determine that current markets, terms of acquisition, or pricing conditions make such potential acquisitions uneconomic. The Company may find that even if the terms of a potential acquisition are economic, the Company may not be able to finance such acquisition and additional funds may be required. Where the investment or acquisition is financed by the issuance of shares from the Company's treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer further dilution of their investment. The Company will be in competition with other entities with greater resources. See "Corporate Structure", "Business of the Company" and "Use of Proceeds".
The directors and officers of the Company will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. See "Directors and Officers".
There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its Common Shares.
Investors acquiring the Common Shares offered by this prospectus will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 30% or approximately $0.03 per Common Share assuming completion of a Minimum Offering or 25% or approximately $0.025 per Common Share assuming completion of a Maximum Offering, before deduction of selling commissions or related expenses of the issue. See "Dilution".
The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Further, even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the transaction. The Qualifying Transaction may be financed in whole, or in part, by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to investors. See "Use of Proceeds".
Furthermore, where the Qualifying Transaction is financed by the issuance of Common Shares from the Company's treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer further dilution of their investment. The Company will be in competition with other entities with greater resources. See "Corporate Structure", "Business of the Company" and "Use of Proceeds".
In the event that directors or officers of the Company reside outside of Canada or the Company identifies a foreign business or assets as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon director or officer resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.
As a result of these factors, the Offering is suitable only to investors who are willing to rely solely on the management of the Company and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares. See "Business of the Company", "Directors and Officers", "Use of Proceeds" and "Risk Factors".

The Common Shares are conditionally offered, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Company, and in accordance with the conditions contained in the Agency Agreement referred to under "Plan of Distribution" and subject to the approval by Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, on behalf of the Company, and by Miller Thomson LLP, on behalf of the Agent, of such legal matters for which approval is specifically sought by the Company or the Agent.
Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Company reserves the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that share certificates or similar entitlements evidencing the Common Shares in definitive form will be available for delivery at closing of this Offering unless the Agent elects for delivery in electronic book entry form through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") or its nominee. If delivered in book entry form, purchasers of Common Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer that is a CDS participant and from or through which the Common Shares were purchased.

Escrow:
All of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company, being 6,000,000 Common Shares and all CPC Stock Options issued prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement and will be released from escrow in stages over a period of up to eighteen (18) months from the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. See "Escrowed Securities."
Risk Factors:
There is currently no established market for the Common Shares. Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Company's business and its present stage of development. The Company was only recently incorporated and has no active business or assets other than cash. It does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Company and can afford to risk the loss of their entire investment.
The directors and the officers of the Company will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Company and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Company will be subject in connection with the operations of the Company.
Assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 30% or approximately $0.03 per Common Share assuming completion of the Minimum Offering, and 25% or approximately $0.025 per Common Share assuming completion of the Maximum Offering, before deduction of selling commissions or related expenses of the issue. An acquisition financed by the issuance of treasury shares could result in a change in control of the Company and may cause the shareholders' interest in the Company to be further diluted. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares.
Until Completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.
A Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. In the event that the Company identifies a foreign business or assets as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management, directors or experts resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business or the Resulting Issuer and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons or companies judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Preliminary Expenses
To date, the Company has raised $300,000 through the sale of 6,000,000 Common Shares. See "Prior Sales" and "Capitalization". As of the date hereof, the Company has paid $5,250 to the Exchange as part of the Company's initial listing fee; $15,000 to the Agent as a retainer for the Agent's out of pocket expenses; $16,280 for professional fees (legal ($4,780) and audit ($11,500)), and $5,037 for other preliminary expenses. Part of the net proceeds of the Offering will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Company related to this Offering, including the fees and commissions of the Agent, the expenses of its auditors, legal counsel and the Agent's legal counsel and the listing fees of the Exchange and filing fees of the Commissions. See "Use of Proceeds".
Proposed Operations until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction
The Company proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. As of the date hereof, the Company has not conducted commercial operations.
Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction.

Criteria for a Qualifying Transaction
The board of directors of the Company must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Filings and Shareholder Approval of a Qualifying Transaction
Upon the Company reaching a Qualifying Transaction Agreement, the Company must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Common Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied as set forth under "Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting". Within seventy-five (75) calendar days after issuance of such news release, the Company shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange a Disclosure Document that complies with Exchange requirements containing prospectus level disclosure of the Significant Assets and the Company, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, the Company must obtain Majority of the Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange will not require the Company to obtain shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction provided that it files the CPC Filing Statement or a Prospectus.
Once the Conditional Acceptance Documents have been accepted for filing, the Exchange will advise the Company that it is cleared to file the final Disclosure Document on SEDAR+ and:
(a) where shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction is not required, the Company must file the final CPC Filing Statement or Prospectus on SEDAR+ at least seven business days prior to:
(i) the resumption of trading in the securities of the Resulting Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Company are halted from trading; or
(ii) the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Company are not halted from trading;
(b) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained at a meeting of shareholders, the Company will file on SEDAR+ and mail to its shareholders the notice of meeting, CPC Information Circular and form of proxy, together with any other required documents; and
(c) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained by written consent, the Company will file on SEDAR+ the final Disclosure Document.
If required by the Exchange, the Company will retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange or a Participating Organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with the policies of the Exchange. The Company will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final QT Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:
(a) confirmation of shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, if required;
(b) confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and
(c) all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.
Upon issuance of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy.
Initial Listing Requirements
The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange's initial listing requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable policies of the Exchange.
- 13 -
Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting
The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of a Qualifying Transaction Agreement until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which includes the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgment Form, where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, all individuals who may be directors, senior officers, promoters, or Insiders of the Resulting Issuer must file a Form 2A - Personal Information Form or, if applicable, a Form 2C1 - Declaration with the Exchange, and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable, must also be completed, before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.
Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate a halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:
(a) the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer; or
(b) the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.
A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Company fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of seventy-five (75) calendar days after public announcement of the Qualifying Transaction Agreement or if the Company fails to file post-meeting or final documents, as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.
In the event that the Common Shares of the Company are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Company shall wind up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote, exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm's Length Parties to the Company, determine to deal with the remaining assets in some other manner. See "Filings and Shareholder Approval of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction" above.
Refusal of Qualifying Transaction
The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may choose not to accept a Qualifying Transaction where:
(a) the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable initial listing requirements of the Exchange;
(b) the Resulting Issuer will be a mutual fund, as defined in the securities legislation; or
(c) notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

Where the Common Shares which are required to be held in escrow are held by a non-individual (a "holding company"), each holding company pursuant to the Escrow Agreement has agreed, or will agree, not to carry out any transactions during the currency of the Escrow Agreement which would result in a change of control of the holding company, without the consent of the Exchange. Any holding, company must sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize securities to be issued or transferred if it could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.
Under the Escrow Agreement:
(a) all CPC Stock Options granted prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and all Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, other than CPC Stock Options that were granted prior to the Company's IPO with an exercise price that is less than the issue price of the Common Shares under this prospectus and any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options which will be released from escrow in accordance with (b);

The Company is therefore relying on the exemption set out in Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 in respect of Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) thereof, that would otherwise require, subject to certain exceptions, that all members of the audit committee be independent.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Remuneration
Except as set out below or disclosed in this prospectus, prior to the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, no payment of any kind has been made, or will be made, directly or indirectly, by the Company to a Non-Arm's Length Party to the Company or a Non-Arm's Length Party to the Qualifying Transaction, or to any Person engaged in investor relations activities in respect of the securities of the Company or any Resulting Issuer by any means, other than:
(a) grants of CPC Stock Options as described in "Options to Purchase Securities";
(b) payment for and reimbursement of certain expenses as described in "Use of Proceeds"; and
(c) finder's fees as described in "Use of Proceeds - Finder's Fees".
Further, no payment will be made by the Company, or by any party on behalf of the Company, after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction if the payment relates to services rendered or obligations incurred or in connection with the Qualifying Transaction. Following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Company shall pay compensation to its directors and officers.

DILUTION
Dilution
Purchasers of Common Shares under this prospectus will suffer an immediate dilution of approximately 30.0% or approximately $0.03 per Common Share assuming completion of a Minimum Offering, and approximately 25.0% or approximately $0.025 per Common Share assuming completion of a Maximum Offering. Dilution is based on the basis of total gross proceeds to be raised by this prospectus and from sales of securities prior to filing this prospectus, without deduction of commissions or related expenses incurred by the Company, or any Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Agent's Warrants or the CPC Stock Options.
RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors
There are a number of risks inherent in making an investment in the Common Shares. The list below outlines the material risk factors that should be considered by persons considering purchasing the Common Shares. The list is not intended to be all-inclusive.
(a) the Company was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings, and shall not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying, Transaction. See "Corporate Structure" and "Business of the Company";
(b) investment in the Common Shares offered by the prospectus is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Company's business and its present stage of development;
(c) the directors and officers of the Company will devote only a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. See "Directors and Officers";
(d) assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution to its investment of approximately 30.0% or approximately $0.03 per Common Share assuming completion of a Minimum Offering, and approximately 25.0% or approximately $0.025 per Common Share assuming completion of a Maximum Offering. See "Dilution";
(e) there is no market through which the Common Shares may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Common Shares purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Common Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Common Shares, and the extent of issuer regulation;
(f) there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Company's Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its Common Shares;
(g) until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions. See "Business of the Company";
(h) the Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. See "Business of the Company";
(i) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction. See "Business of the Company";
(j) completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval. See "Business of the Company";
(k) unless a shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the Common Shares;
(l) upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. The Common Shares of the Company may be reinstated to trading, before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Company completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction. See "Business of the Company";
(m) trading in the Common Shares of the Company may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Company to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required;
(n) neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;
(o) in the event that the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts;
(p) the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Company;
(q) subject to prior Exchange acceptance, the Company may be permitted to loan or advance up to the greater of $250,000 and 20% of its working capital to a target business without shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover that loan. See "Use of Proceeds"; and
(r) if the Common Shares are not listed and posted for trading on the Exchange at the time of closing of the Offering and the Company does not otherwise qualify as a "public corporation" for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of closing, then the Common Shares will not be qualified investments under the Tax Act at that time for a trust governed by a Registered Plan or a DPSP and adverse tax consequences will arise with respect to any Common Shares acquired or held by such a trust, all as described in more detail under "Eligibility for Investment".
- 32 -
As a result of these factors, this Offering is suitable only to investors who are willing to rely solely on management of the Company and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares.

There are no legal proceedings to which the Company is or is likely to be a party.

It is not contemplated that any dividends will be paid in the immediate or foreseeable future.
ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, counsel to the Company, based on the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, the Common Shares, if issued at the time of closing of the Offering, should be qualified investments under the Tax Act at the time of closing for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), a registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), a registered education savings plan ("RESP"), a tax-free savings account ("TFSA"), or a registered disability savings plan ("RDSP"), first home savings account ("FHSA"), all as defined in the Tax Act (each a "Registered Plan") or a trust governed by a deferred profit sharing plan (a "DPSP"), provided that at the time of closing of the Offering either: (1) the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on a "designated stock exchange" (as defined in the Tax Act, which currently includes the Exchange), or (2) the Company otherwise qualifies as a "public corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) at that time.
The Common Shares are not currently listed on a designated stock exchange and the Company is not currently a public corporation. Therefore, the Company will apply to list the Common Shares on the
- 34 -
Exchange as of the day before the closing of the Offering, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Common Shares in order to allow the Company to satisfy the conditions of the Exchange and to have the Common Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares on the closing of the Offering. No assurance can be given that this will occur. The Company must rely on the Exchange to list the Common Shares on the Exchange and have them posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Common Shares at the time of closing of the Offering and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the Common Shares being listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance at the time of closing.
Alternatively, the Company may, in certain circumstances, make an election in its tax return under the Tax Act for its first taxation year to be deemed to have been a "public corporation" for purposes of the Tax Act retroactively to the beginning of its first taxation year.
If the Common Shares are not listed on the Exchange at the time of closing of the Offering and the Company does not qualify as a public corporation at the time of closing of the Offering, then the Common Shares will not be qualified investments under the Tax Act at that time for a trust governed by a Registered Plan or a DPSP and adverse tax consequences will arise with respect to any Common Shares acquired or held by such a trust.
Further, notwithstanding that the Common Shares may be a qualified investment, the holder, annuitant or subscriber of a Registered Plan will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of Common Shares held in that Registered Plan if such Common Shares are a "prohibited investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Common Shares will generally be a "prohibited investment" if the holder, annuitant or subscriber, as the case may be, does not deal at arm's length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or has a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Common Shares will generally not be a "prohibited investment" if the Common Shares are "excluded property" as defined in the Tax Act for trusts governed by a Registered Plan. Prospective holders that intend to hold Common Shares in a Registered Plan are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to whether the Common Shares would constitute a "prohibited investment" in their particular circumstances.
PURCHASER'S STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION
Securities legislation in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario provide purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within 2 business days after the later of (a) the date that the Company (i) filed the prospectus or any amendment on SEDAR+ and a receipt is issued and posted for the document, and (ii) issued and filed a news release on SEDAR+ announcing that the document is accessible through SEDAR +, and (b) the date that the purchaser or subscriber has entered into an agreement to purchase the securities or a contract to purchase or a subscription for the securities. The securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

(A Capital Pool Company)
Financial Statements
For the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors of Chrysalis 12 Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Chrysalis 12 Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at May 31, 2025, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in Shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025 in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025
(in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of Organization
Chrysalis 12 Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (OBCA) of Ontario on December 2, 2024. The Company intends on being classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") corporate finance manual.
On June 26, 2025, the Company filed a preliminary prospectus relating to the offering of a minimum of 4,000,000 Common Shares for total gross proceeds to the Company of $400,000, up to a maximum of 6,000,000 Common Shares for total gross proceeds to the Company of $600,000.
The Company has no assets other than cash and short-term investment and proposes to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions or businesses, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation subject to receipt and, if required, shareholder's approval.

2. Material Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements for the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are stated in Canadian dollars which is the Company's functional currency and were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. The Company does not have any significant estimates as of May 31, 2025.
Cash
Cash consists of the proceeds from the issuance of common shares, which is being held in the Company's bank account and the trust account.

Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic loss per share for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is calculated by adjusting the number of common shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is antidilutive.
Financial Instruments
Classification and measurement of financial instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on initial recognition, which is typically the transaction price unless a financial instrument contains a significant financing component. Subsequent measurement is dependent on the financial instrument's classification which in the case of financial assets, is determined by the context of the Company's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Financial assets are classified into the following categories: (1) measured at amortized cost and (2) fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL") and (3) fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"). Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, other than financial liabilities that are measured at FVTPL or designated as FVTPL where any change in fair value resulting from an entity's own credit risk is recorded as other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The Company does not employ hedge accounting for its risk management contracts currently in place.
The Company classifies its cash, short-term investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as measured at amortized cost. The contractual cash flows received from the financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest and are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows.
Income Taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The determination of current and deferred taxes requires interpretations of tax legislation, estimates of expected timing of reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and estimates of future earnings.
Current tax expense is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred taxes are the taxes expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets in the statement of financial position and their corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

6. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Capital Management
The Company's capital consists of share capital. The Company's objective for managing capital is to maintain sufficient capital to identify, evaluate and complete an acquisition or other transaction as disclosed in Note 1. The Company sets the amount of capital in relation to risk and manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes to economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
i. to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk; and,
ii. to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence in order to sustain the future development of the business.
The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry its operations. The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Company. These restrictions may apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash, short-term investment and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.
Fair values
Fair value represents the price at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in an orderly market, in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The Company classifies the fair value of the financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.
Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying amount of cash, short-term investment and account payable and accrued liabilities approximates its fair value due to the short-term maturities of these items.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company's financial assets are cash and short-term investment. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk, as at period end, is the carrying value of its financial assets. The Company manages credit risk by maintaining its cash and short-term investment held at major financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at May 31, 2025, the Company has cash of $67,078 to satisfy obligations of $59,066 as they come due, as such, is not exposed to significant liquidity risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that results from changes in market prices, market risk is comprised of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks.
i) Currency Risk
The Company does not have assets or liabilities in a foreign currency and therefore is not exposed to foreign currency risk.
ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises because of the fluctuation in interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its short-term investments. The Company invests primarily in Guaranteed Investment Certificates ("GICs") for terms of one year or less, depending on expected cash needs, at interest rates available at the investment date. If a shift in interest rates of 1% were to occur, the impact on short-term investments and the related income for the period ended May 31, 2026 would be insignificant.
iii) Commodity risk
The Company is not exposed to commodity risk.
7. Income Taxes
A reconciliation of combined federal and provincial corporate income taxes of statutory rates of 26.5% and the Company's effective income tax expense is as follows:
| 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Net loss for the period | $ 91,988 |
| Expected income tax recovery | (24,377) |
| Deferred tax assets not recognized | 24,377 |
| Income taxes (recovery) reimbursement | $ - |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period from December 2, 2024 (date of incorporation) to May 31, 2025
(in Canadian Dollars)
As at May 31, 2025, the Company has non-capital losses for income tax purposes of approximately $91,988 which can be carried forward to be applied against future taxable income. These losses expire to the extent unutilized against future taxable income in 2044.
The Company has not recorded deferred tax assets related to these unused carry forward losses as it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these can be deducted.
8. Subsequent Events
a) Filing of the Prospectus
On June 26, 2025, the Corporation filed a preliminary prospectus relating to the offering of a minimum of 4,000,000 common share and a maximum of 6,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share.
