During the period, the Company applied for the COVID-19 Relief Line of Credit as part of the Government-sponsored Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA). The credit limit of $40,000 has an interest rate of 0% until December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2021, the operating line of credit will be converted to a 2-year 0% interest term loan, to be repaid by December 31, 2022 of which $10,000 of the loan will be forgiven if $30,000 is repaid in full on or before December 31, 2022.

The amount borrowed by the Company under the PPP is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) the Company uses the PPP Funds during the 24-week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, the Company does not maintain staffing or payroll levels. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred for six months and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1%. Additionally, the PPP Loan balance will carry a two-year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the PPP Loan. The Company expects the PPP to be forgiven in full as it believes it will meet all the criteria to forgive the loan.

Company Update

There are almost 1 billion acres of farmland in North America, and it is estimated that, currently, data and technology are applied in making input decisions on only 30% of this total area under cultivation.

Science and technology can have a significant role to play in improving farm outcomes; including yields, profitability and climate impact.

  • Deveron is a growing company focused on the North American agriculture market that provides: • Data collection services via soil sampling, drones, and other methods

  • Data insights to better manage inputs like fertilizer, seed, water and other crop protection that is based on highly localized data and farm variability

Deveron provides these services directly through:

  • Our online presence at www.deveronuas.com

  • Our growing network of local agronomists and partner channels

  • Our digital affiliations with multi-national input companies

Deveron is focused on removing the subjective decision making of farming and making it easier for any grower, using any brand of input or equipment, to use data to make more profit on the farm.

Acquisition of Better Harvest

On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired all the operating assets of Better Harvest Inc. (“Better Harvest”), a Texas based agronomy solutions business. Better Harvest provides unbiased agronomic advice, nitrogen management solutions and optimization of irrigation programs for growers representing over 100,000 acres.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Deveron’s operations are focused within the agriculture marketplace. Drone technology and other data solutions will have a significant effect on this market by allowing farmers to reduce costs, strengthen yields and improve profitability. Other trend factors include applicable laws and regulations, adverse weather conditions, political conditions, the hiring of qualified people and obtaining necessary services in jurisdictions where Deveron operates. The current trends relating to these factors could change at any time and negatively affect Deveron’s operations and business.

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, material uncertainties may arise that could influence management’s going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:

  • The severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus, and their effect on labour availability and supply lines;

  • Purchasing power of the Canadian dollar; and

  • Ability to obtain funding.

At the date of this MD&A, the Canadian federal and provincial governments have not introduced measures which significantly impede the operational activities of the Company. As well, there has been no significant affect on our US operations. Management believes the business will continue and, accordingly, the current situation has not impacted management’s going concern assumption. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

Apart from these factors and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risk Factors”, management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Discussion of operations

Three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with three months ended December 31, 2019

Deveron’s net loss totaled $697,192 for three months ended December 31, 2020, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01. This compares with a loss of $541,205 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $155,987 in net loss was principally due to the following:

  • Data collection and data analytics revenues increased by $167,940 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to the new business of the Company since the acquisition of Better Harvest.

  • Professional fees decreased by $20,274 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in corporate activity requiring external professional support.

  • Office and general decreased by $155,283 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019 and consisted of costs such as advertising and promotion, supplies, internet, rent and bank service charges.

  • Salaries and benefits increased by $348,389 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to the Company hiring a higher number of employees during the current period compared to the comparative period.

  • Travel expenses increased by $17,076 for three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to higher corporate activity requiring travel by management and employees.

  • Depreciation increased by $87,967 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. Depreciation is recorded on computer equipment, drones, vehicles and right-of-use assets acquired during the current and prior years.

  • Business development increased by $5,983 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to increased research done by the Company which required external business development support.

  • Share-based payments decreased by $12,428 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is due to the timing of expensing the estimated fair value of stock options granted in prior and current periods. The Company expenses its stock options in accordance with the vesting terms of the stock options granted.

  • Bad debts decreased by $101,396 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to the write off of World Class Extractions in the previous year.

  • All other expenses related to general working capital expenditures.

The increase in total assets of $5,518,165 resulted from cash received from private placements. The Company does have sufficient current assets to pay its existing liabilities of $1,114,448 at December 31, 2020.

Page 14

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

Cash Flow

At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,217,046. The increase in cash of $4,939,142 from the December 31, 2019 cash balance of $1,277,904 was a result of cash outflow in operating activities of $1,680,514, cash outflow in investing activities of $382,616 and cash inflow of $7,002,272 from financing activities. Operating activities were affected by depreciation of $183,553, share-based payments of $106,795, interest expense of $20,910, gain on disposition of property, plant and equipment of $1,720, gain on foreign exchange of $104,267, and net change in non-cash working capital balances of $124,231 because of an increase in amounts receivable and other assets of $47,785, a decrease in amounts payable and other liabilities of $42,625, a decrease in unearned revenue of $2,048 and a decrease in lease payments of $117,023. Investing activities were affected by the acquisition Better Harvest Inc., as well as the purchase of property, plant and equipment, which was offset by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment for a total of $382,616. Financing activities were affected by the issue of common shares for private placements of $7,145,227, proceeds from loans for $183,880, the proceeds on the exercise of warrants for $3,850, cash acquired from the acquisition of Better Harvest Inc. of $23,582 and offset by share issue costs of $354,267.

Liquidity and Financial Position

The Company expects to be financed through the completion of equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. There is no assurance that future equity capital will be available to the Company in the amounts or at the times desired by the Company or on terms that are acceptable to it, if at all. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Trends and Economic Conditions” and COVID-19 Risks in “Risk Factors”.

As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital of $6,233,699 (December 31, 2019 – working capital of $1,502,702). The Company’s continuing operations are dependent on its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing.

In the following 12-month period, the business objective of Deveron is to grow out customer base by establish credibility and gain market awareness of the service offering to growers in Canada and select other operating regions in the United States. Deveron intends to do this by accomplishing the following business objectives:

(a) Continue development and deployment of the data acquisition network to provide on demand data services to the agricultural industry across Canada and select strategic regions in the United States;

(b) Continue marketing campaign of service offering through current sales network;

(c) Continue to work with current and future partners on data integration and feasibility studies; and

(d) Build infrastructure for processing and storing data.

Page 15

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

The Company will have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Share Capital

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had a total of 88,221,583 common shares issued and outstanding. An additional 19,942,025 common shares are subject to issuance pursuant to the following: 3,775,000 stock options and 16,167,025 outstanding warrants. Each stock option will be exercisable to acquire one common share at a prices that range from $0.30 to $0.37 per common share with expiry dates ranging from March 24, 2022 to November 22, 2022. Each warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share at prices that range from $0.20 to $0.45 per common share with expiry dates ranging from October 6, 2021 to December 23, 2022.

Capital Management

The Company includes equity, comprising issued share capital, reserves and deficit, in the definition of capital, which as at December 31, 2020, totaled an equity of $8,259,124 (December 31, 2019 - $3,119,071).

The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund its research and development costs and devote resources to identifying and commercializing new services. To secure the additional capital necessary to continue with its operating and research and development activities, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt or equity.

The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares and adjusting capital spending. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board on an ongoing basis.

There were no changes in the Company's objective, process, policies and approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body.

Financial Instruments

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk).

Page 16

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Cash is held with a Canadian chartered bank, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

Amounts receivable consists of sales tax receivable from government authorities in Canada and trades receivable. Sales tax receivable are in good standing as of December 31, 2020. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to these amounts receivable is minimal. As at December 31, 2020, the provision for amounts receivable is $83,976 (December 31, 2019 - $145,846).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,217,046 (December 31, 2019 - $1,277,904) to settle current liabilities of $806,104 (December 31, 2019 - $520,761). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity.

The Company obtained its financing through the equity market. Negative trend in the general equity market. If the Company cannot obtain the necessary financing to fund its operating and exploration activities, the Company might not be able to continue as a going concern entity.

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 equity price.

Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances. The Company's current policy is to invest surplus cash in high yield savings accounts with a Canadian chartered bank with which it keeps its bank accounts. As at December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any surplus cash in high yield savings accounts. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its Canadian chartered bank. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. Certain of the Company's revenues and expenses are incurred in USD and are therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations against the functional currency.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices and commodity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s loss due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of stock market.

Page 17

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

Sensitivity analysis

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a twelve month period:

(i) The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable and amounts payable and other liabilities that are denominated in USD. As at December 31, 2020, had the USD weakened/strengthened by 10% against the CAD with all other variables held constant, the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 would have been approximately $17,048 higher/lower as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of non-CAD denominated financial instruments. Similarly, as at December 31, 2020, shareholders' equity would have been approximately $17,048 higher/lower had the USD weakened/strengthened by 10% against the CAD as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of non-CAD denominated financial instruments.

Risk Factors

Deveron operates in evolving markets, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and future prospects.

Deveron cannot accurately predict the extent to which demand for its services will increase, if at all. The challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets could impact Deveron’s ability to do the following:

  • generate sufficient revenue to maintain profitability;

  • acquire and maintain market share;

  • achieve or manage growth in its operations;

  • develop and renew contracts;

  • attract and retain other highly-qualified personnel;

  • successfully develop and commercially market new services;

  • adapt to new or changing policies; and

  • access additional capital when required and on reasonable terms.

If Deveron fails to address these and other challenges, risks and uncertainties successfully, its business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially harmed.

Deveron expects to incur research and development costs and devote resources to identifying and commercializing new services, which could significantly reduce its profitability and may never result in revenue to Deveron.

Deveron’s future growth depends on penetrating new markets, adapting existing services to new applications, and introducing new services that achieve market acceptance. Deveron plans to incur research and development costs as part of its efforts to develop and commercialize new services and enhance existing products. Deveron believes that there are significant investment opportunities in a number of business areas. Because Deveron accounts for research and development as an operating expense, these expenditures will adversely affect its earnings in the future. Further, Deveron’s research and development programs may not produce successful results, and its new services may not achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable, which could materially harm its business, prospects, financial results and liquidity.

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

Covid-19 Risks

The worldwide emergency measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic may continue, could be expanded, and could also be reintroduced in the future following relaxation. As governments implement monetary and fiscal policy changes aimed to help stabilize economies and capital markets, we cannot predict legal and regulatory responses to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues and how these responses may impact our business. The COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken globally in response to it, and the ensuing economic downturn has caused significant disruption to business activities and economies. The depth, breadth and duration of these disruptions remain highly uncertain at this time. Furthermore, governments are developing frameworks for the staged resumption of business activities. As a result, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and our business. We have outlined these risks in more detail below.

Strategic & Operational Risks

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our financial condition in future periods as a result of reduced business opportunities via acquisitions and development of Deveron’s new business in the data acquisition and data analytics sector. The uncertainty around the expected duration of the pandemic and the measures put in place by governments to respond to it could further depress business activity and financial markets. Our strategic initiatives to advance our business may be delayed or cancelled as a result.

To date, our operations have remained stable under the pandemic but there can be no assurance that our ability to continue to operate our business will not be adversely impacted, in particular to the extent that aspects of our operations which rely on services provided by third parties fail to operate as expected. The successful execution of business continuity strategies by third parties is outside our control. If one or more of the third parties to whom we outsource critical business activities fails to perform as a result of the impacts from the spread of COVID-19, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Liquidity risk and capital management

Extreme market volatility and stressed conditions resulting from COVID-19 and the measures implemented to control its spread could limit our access to capital markets and our ability to generate funds to meet out capital requirements. Sustained global economic uncertainty could result in more costly or limited access to funding sources. In addition, while we currently have sources of liquidity, such as cash balances, there can be no assurance that these sources will provide us with sufficient liquidity on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Extreme market volatility may leave us unable to react in a manner consistent with our historical practices.

Market Risk

The pandemic and resulting economic downturn have created significant volatility and declines in financial and commodity markets. Central banks have announced emergency interest rate cuts, while governments are implementing unprecedented fiscal stimulus packages to support economic stability. The pandemic could result in a global recessionary environment with continued market volatility, which may continue to impact our financial condition.

Climate Change

Global climate change continues to attract considerable public, scientific and regulatory attention. Governments and regulatory bodies at the international, national, regional and local levels have introduced or may introduce legislative changes to respond to the potential impacts of climate change.

Page 19

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021

Additional government action to regulate climate change, including regulations on carbon emissions and energy use, could increase direct and indirect costs to the Company’s operations and may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Based on risk assessments conducted by the Company, climate change is not an immediate material risk faced by the Company. However, as time goes on, it will likely have an impact on how the Company conducts its business.

Public Company Obligations

The Company’s business is subject to evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations that have increased both the Company’s compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s share price.

The Company is subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of governmental and self-regulated organizations, including the Canadian Securities Administrators, the TSXV, and the International Accounting Standards Board. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity creating many new requirements. The Company’s efforts to comply with rules and obligations could result in increased general and administration expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities.

Disclosure of Internal Controls

Management has established processes to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence to ensure that (i) the consolidated financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the consolidated financial statements; and (ii) the consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Company uses the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate, which does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:

  • i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

  • ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s generally accepted accounting principles (IFRS). The Company’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate.

Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in

Page 20

Deveron Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2020 Dated: March 31, 2021
