It is anticipated that approximately 26,250,000 ENTH Shares will be issued pursuant to the Transaction based on the current capital structure of BCBC.

There can be no assurance that trading of ENTH shares will resume prior to the completion of the Transaction and it is not anticipated that trading will resume on the TSXV prior to delisting.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of warrants. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt. The Company anticipates spending some of its capital resources on exploring new business opportunities during the upcoming year.
5
ENTHEOS CAPITAL CORP. Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2020
The Company assesses its financing requirements and its ability to access equity or debt markets on an ongoing basis. The assessment considers: the stage and success of the Company’s evaluation activities to date; the continued participation of the Company’s investors in evaluation activities; and financial market conditions. Further financing may be required to cover the Company’s long-term cash requirements. It is possible that future economic events and global conditions may result in further volatility in the financial markets which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to access equity or debt markets in the future.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $838,413 compared to a working capital deficiency of $51,845 as at December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $882,821 compared to cash of $1,220 as at December 31, 2019.
Net cash used in operating activities for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $156,913 compared to $183,455 for the same period in the prior year. The difference in cash used related largely to the reduction of operating expenses.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $5,014 (2019 – $40,492) for principal repayments on the loan extended in 2018 and assigned for settlement of debts in the year ended December 31, 2020.
In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company raised $1,000,000 in private placement funds and $45,000 in warrant exercise for which share issuance costs of $11,500 were expended.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

ENTHEOS CAPITAL CORP. Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2020
Included in accounts payable at December 31, 2020 is $36,500 (2019 - $60,172) due to companies controlled by directors, directors and former directors and/or companies with certain directors in common.
These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange value, which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its components of equity as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire assets. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
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 ability to raise funds.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
The Company classifies its cash and investments as fair value through profit or loss measured at level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Loan receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amortized cost.
The carrying values of loan receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its payment obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash, investments, accounts receivable, and loan receivable. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash is remote as it maintains accounts with highly rated financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $838,413 (2019 – working capital deficiency of $51,845). All of the Company’s liabilities are due within 90 days of December 31, 2020.
7
ENTHEOS CAPITAL CORP. Management’s Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2020
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant interest rate or foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to other price risk with respect to its investments, as they are carried at fair values based on quoted market prices.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of 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 most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the impairment of assets, valuation of share-based payments and recognition of deferred tax amounts.
Critical accounting estimates:
Income taxes
Related assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences between amounts included in the financial statements and their tax base using substantively enacted future income tax rates. Timing of future revenue streams and future capital spending changes can affect the timing of any temporary differences and, accordingly, affect the amount of the deferred tax asset or liability calculated at a point in time.
Fair value estimates of equity instruments
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated life of the stock options and conversion at grant date is based on the expected life of the options and assumptions about the expected exercise pattern. Expected volatility of stock options is estimated based on the volatility of companies comparable in size and operations to the Company.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The information provided in this report, including the financial statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgements and have been properly reflected in the financial statements.
