The Company was incorporated on September 9, 2019 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada by a Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and changed its name from 1222554 B.C. Ltd. to Eat Beyond Global Holdings Inc. on September 17, 2019. The Company's head office and principal address is Suite 1570 – 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver BC, V6E 3P3.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or results of operations at this time. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to

Management Discussion & Analysis For the six months ended June 30, 2021

1.8 Risk and Uncertainties

The Company's financial performance is likely to be subject to the following risks:

• The Company has not generated any significant revenue and has incurred significant losses since inception.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash, which is held with a high-credit financial institution. As such, the Company's credit exposure is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements. The Company addresses its liquidity through equity financing obtained through the sale of common shares. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange. The Company has minimal exposure to foreign currency transactions during the year ended June 30, 2021 and accordingly the risk is considered low.

Price risk

Equity price risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. As at June 30, 2021, the Company's marketable securities of $2,449,684 are subject to fair value fluctuations. If the fair value of the Company's marketable securities had decreased/increased by 10% with all other variables held constant, loss and comprehensive loss for the period ending June 30, 2021 would have been approximately $245,000 higher/lower.
