TECHNICAL AND THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

The scientific and technical information in this Filing Statement has been reviewed and approved by David Gaunt, PGeo, a “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Gaunt is not independent of the Target Company.

Except where otherwise noted, the disclosure in this Filing Statement relating to mineral reserve and mineral resource statements for individual properties is made as of the documents referenced. In addition, numerical information contained in this Filing Statement which has been derived from information publicly disclosed by owners or operators may have been rounded and, therefore, there may be some inconsistencies in this Filing Statement with respect to significant digits presented.

Technical Terms and Abbreviations
NI 43-101 as defined by CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy)
feasibility study A comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for
a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable
modifying factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed
financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that
extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may
reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution
to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the
study will be higher than that of a pre-feasibility study.
indicated mineral
resource
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and
physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application
of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately
detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume
geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An indicated
mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a measured
mineral resource and may only be converted to a probable mineral reserve.
inferred mineral
resource
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on
the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient
to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral
resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral
resource and may not be converted to a mineral reserve. It is reasonably expected that
the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral
resources with continued exploration.
measured mineral
resource
That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape,
and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the
application of modifying factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation
of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and
grade or quality continuity between points of observation. A measured mineral resource
has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated mineral
resource or an inferred mineral resource. It may be converted to a proven mineral reserve
or to a probable mineral reserve.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Filing Statement includes forward-looking information with respect to the Corporation, the Target Company and the Resulting Issuer. In particular, the information contained in the section called “ Part III – Information Concerning the Target Company ” and “ Part IV – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer ” may constitute “forward-looking information” for the purpose of securities legislation, as it contains statements of the intended course of conduct and future operations of the Resulting Issuer. When used in this Filing Statement, such statements and information use words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believes”, “plan”, “could”, “should”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “intend”, “potential”, “predict”, “project” , and other similar terminology. These statements are based on assumptions made by the Resulting Issuer about the success of the Resulting Issuer’s business strategies in certain market conditions, relying on the experience of the Resulting Issuer’s officers and employees and their knowledge of historical economic and market trends. Investors are cautioned that the assumptions we make and the success of the Resulting Issuer’s investment strategies are subject to a number of mitigating factors. Economic and market conditions may change, which may materially impact the success of our intended strategies as well as the Resulting Issuer’s actual course of conduct. Investors are urged to read the section called “ Risk Factors ” for a discussion of other factors that may impact the Resulting Issuer. Forwardlooking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected

15

developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable. Forward-looking statements or information are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Resulting Issuer or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements or information due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties described above. Our forwardlooking statements and risk factors are based on the reasonable beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date of this Filing Statement. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

For a more detailed discussion of certain of these risk factors, see “ Risk Factors ”.

SUMMARY OF FILING STATEMENT

The following is a summary of information relating to the Corporation, the Target Company, the Resulting Issuer (assuming completion of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction) and the Transaction and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this Filing Statement. Capitalized terms used in this summary will have the meaning provided in the Glossary or elsewhere in this Filing Statement.

This Filing Statement is being prepared and filed in accordance with the CPC Policy in connection with the Proposed Qualifying Transaction.

Summary Of The Terms Of The Proposed Qualifying Transaction:

The Corporation, CPC Sub and the Target Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the Amalgamation Agreement on January 28, 2020. The Business Combination Agreement provides for the reverse takeover of the Corporation by the Target Company by way of a “three-cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the BCBCA, pursuant to which the Target Company will amalgamate with CPC Sub to form Amalco and Amalco will become a whollyowned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer.

See “ Part I - The Transaction – Business Combination Agreement ”.

The Proposed Qualifying Transaction will constitute the Corporation’s Qualifying Transaction pursuant to the CPC Policy, and is not a Non Arm’s Length Transaction.

The Transaction includes the Proposed Qualifying Transaction and the Offering.

It is a term of the Business Combination Agreement that concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction, the Target Company and the Corporation shall complete the Offering of Subscription Receipts at a minimum price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $3,500,000 or such other price and/or amount as may be agreed to by the Corporation and the Target Company. If the Offering is completed at the minimum price, then upon the automatic conversion of the Subscription Receipts the Corporation will issue 14,000,000 Offering Shares. See “ Part I - The Transaction - Concurrent Offering ”.

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by any party if the initial submission has not been filed with the Exchange by February 28, 2020, or if such filing has been made but the Target Company is unable to meet any of the material requirements imposed by the Exchange on or before June 25, 2020.

It is a term of the Business Combination Agreement that if the Proposed Qualifying Transaction is not completed as a result of the Corporation electing not to proceed with the Proposed Qualifying Transaction or the Proposed Qualifying Transaction is abandoned due to non-performance of the Corporation of any of its obligations thereunder, the Corporation will pay the Target Company’s reasonable out-ofpocket expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction to a maximum of $70,000.

It is also a term of the Business Combination Agreement that if the Proposed Qualifying Transaction is not completed as a result of the Target Company electing

17

not to proceed with the Proposed Qualifying Transaction or the Proposed Qualifying Transaction is abandoned due to non-performance of the Target Company of any of its obligations thereunder, the Target Company will pay the Corporation’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Qualifying Transaction to a maximum of $70,000.

Upon closing of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction, all of the existing directors and officers of the Corporation (other than Craig Lindsay) will resign, the board of directors will be increased to four members and the board will be comprised of Craig Lindsay, Robert Schafer, Marchand Snyman and Brendan Yurik. See “ Part IV - Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Directors, Officers and Promoters ”.

Prior to giving effect to the Proposed Qualifying Transaction, the following is a summary of the interests of any applicable Insider, Promoter or Control Person.

  1. Mihalis Belantis, CEO and Director of the Corporation, owns 586,667 Common Shares and 50,000 Corporation Options.

  3. Craig Thomas Lindsay, a Director of the Corporation, owns 720,000 Common Shares (through Arbutus Grove Capital Corp., a company controlled by him) and 50,000 Corporation Options.

The directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer as a group will hold an aggregate of 13.7% RI Shares, assuming the price per Offering Share is $0.25 and assuming no Offering Shares are acquired by them under the Offering. No Insiders of the Corporation will receive any consideration as a result of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction should the Proposed Qualifying Transaction proceed.

Subject to Exchange and other regulatory acceptance, the name of the Resulting Issuer will be changed to “Electric Royalties Ltd.” after completion of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction. Amalco will change its name to “Electric Royalties (Canada) Ltd.”

The Completion of the Qualifying Transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including: (a) obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange; (b) the approval of the Amalgamation by the Corporation as the sole shareholder of CPC Sub; (c) the approval of the Amalgamation by the Target Company Shareholders; (d) completion of the Consolidation; (e) completion of the Offering; and (f) other customary conditions.

20

RISK FACTORS

The Target Company’s current business will be the Resulting Issuer’s business upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Where used in this Risk Factors section, “ERL” refers to either the Target Company or the Resulting Issuer, as the context may require. The risk factors associated with the principal business of the Target Company are discussed below.

An investment in the RI Shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of ERL’s business. Investments in companies involved in commodities, such as ERL, involve a significant degree of risk, and commodities prices are also subject to significant volatility, which affects the economic viability of ERL. ERL has no history of earnings, a limited business history, has not paid dividends, and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or near future. ERL is in the “start-up” phase of its business. Its operations are not sufficiently established such that it can mitigate the risks associated with its planned activities. Anyone investing in ERL must rely on the ability, expertise, judgement, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of ERL. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that ERL faces. Additional risks and uncertainties of which ERL is not aware or that ERL currently believes to be immaterial may also adversely affect ERL’s business, financial condition, results of operations, financial performance or prospects. If any of the possible events described below occur, ERL’s business, financial condition, results of operations, financial performance or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this Filing Statement before making a decision to buy the RI Shares. If any of the following risks or other risks not listed below occurs, ERL’s business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, financial performance and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. In that case, investors could lose part or all of their investment in the RI Shares.

General Risk Factors

Liquidity Concerns and Future Financing Requirements

ERL has no source of operating revenue. It may require additional financing in order to fund its business plan. ERL’s ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as its business success. There can be no assurance that ERL will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to it, or at all. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of RI Shares from treasury, control of ERL may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, ERL may not be able to operate its business at its maximum potential, to expand, to take advantage of other opportunities, or otherwise remain in business.

Volatility of Share Price

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of ERL include global macroeconomic developments, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in the price of commodities will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the RI Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of ERL. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders have instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result

21

in substantial cost and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm profitability and the reputation of ERL.

Portfolio Exposure

There is no assurance that the investment objectives of ERL will actually be achieved. The value of the RI Shares will increase or decrease with the value of its investment portfolio and general economic conditions beyond the control of ERL’s management, including the level of interest rates, corporate earnings, economic activity, the value of the Canadian dollar and other factors. There can be no assurance that the shareholders of ERL will realize any gains from their investment in ERL and may lose their entire investment.

Investments Made by ERL May Lack Liquidity

Due to market conditions beyond its control, including investor demand, resale restrictions, general market trends and regulatory restrictions, ERL may not be able to liquidate its Royalty investments or other interests when it would otherwise desire to do so in order to operate in accordance with its Investment Policy and investment strategy. Such lack of liquidity could have a material and adverse effect on the value of ERL’s investments and, consequently, the value of the RI Shares. There is no guarantee that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its investment portfolio. Expenses incurred by ERL may exceed any gains realized by ERL on its Royalty investments. ERL may invest in a limited number of Royalties and, as a consequence, the aggregate returns realized by ERL may be substantially and adversely affected by the unfavourable performance of even a single Royalty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its portfolio. The resulting lack of diversification may adversely impact the ability of ERL to achieve its desired investment returns.

Prospect of Dividends

ERL currently intends to use its future earnings, if any, and other cash resources for the operation and development of its business and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends on the RI Shares. Any future determinations to pay dividends on the RI Shares will be at the sole discretion of the Board after considering a variety of factors and conditions existing from time to time, including current and future commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens, and foreign exchange rates. As a result, a holder of RI Shares may not receive any return on an investment in RI Shares.

Market for the Shares

There can be no assurance that an active market for the RI Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active public market for the RI Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a purchaser’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline.

The Forward Looking Statements May Prove to be Inaccurate

This document contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the forward-looking statements listed in “Forward Looking Statements”. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. The factors discussed in this section and the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements”

22

should therefore be weighed carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements provided in this document.

Fluctuating Price of Commodities

Given the nature of ERL’s proposed investment activities, materially adverse fluctuations in the price of commodities may adversely affect the investments that will comprise ERL’s portfolio which may consequently adversely affect ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of ERL, including levels of supply and demand, industrial development levels, inflation and the level of interest rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical events in significant commodities producing countries. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. All commodities, by their nature, are subject to wide price fluctuations and future material price declines will result in a decrease in the revenue or, in the case of severe declines that cause a suspension or termination of production by relevant operators, a complete cessation of revenue from royalties or interests in mineral properties applicable to the relevant commodities. Moreover, the broader commodities market tends to be cyclical, and a general downturn in overall commodities prices or a significant strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could result in a significant decrease in the value of ERL’s overall revenue. Any such price decline may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Changes in Technology and Future Demand for Commodities

Currently the commodities ERL focuses its investments on are some of the key metals used in batteries for EVs and other devices. However, the technology pertaining to batteries, EVs and energy creation and storage is changing rapidly, and there is no assurance that the commodities will continue to be used to the same degree as they are now, or that they will be used at all. Any decline in the use of commodities in EVs, batteries, renewable energy generation or technologies utilizing commodities based batteries may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Competition

Many companies are engaged in the search for and the acquisition of commodities, or rights to or interests in commodities, and there is a limited supply of desirable commodities related interests. Many competitors are larger, more established companies with substantial financial resources, operational capabilities and long earnings track-records. ERL may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring interests in any commodities related assets, whether by way of Royalty or other form of investment, as many competitors have greater financial resources and technical staff. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to compete successfully against other companies in acquiring new commodities related interests.

ERL’s inability to acquire additional commodities interests may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

No History

While many members of ERL’s management have expertise and industry experience, ERL itself has no operating history as an investment issuer upon which its business and affairs may be evaluated, and there can be no assurance that its business will be successful or profitable or that it will be able to successfully execute its business model and growth strategy. If ERL cannot execute its business model and growth

23

strategy, it may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Future Acquisitions

As part of ERL’s business strategy, it may seek to grow by acquiring companies and/or assets or establishing joint ventures that it believes will complement its current or future business. Acquisition transactions involve inherent risks, including but not limited to: accurately assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates; ability to achieve identified and anticipated operating and financial synergies; unanticipated costs; diversion of management attention from existing business; potential loss of ERL’s key employees or key employees of any business acquired; unanticipated changes in business, industry or general economic conditions that affect the assumptions underlying the acquisition; and decline in the value of acquired properties, companies or securities. Any one or more of these factors or other risks could cause ERL not to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition of properties or companies, and could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. ERL may not effectively select acquisition candidates or negotiate or finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel or acquire assets for ERL’s business. ERL cannot guarantee that it can complete any acquisition it pursues on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions completed will ultimately benefit its business.

Uncertainty of Additional Funding

There can be no assurance that ERL will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further business activities, and may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition. ERL will require new capital to grow its business and there are no assurances that capital will be available when needed, if at all. It is likely that such additional capital will be raised through the issuance of additional equity, which will result in dilution to shareholders.

Expansion of the Business Activities Outside Areas of Expertise

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and management of Royalties or rights to or interest in commodities. In the future, ERL may pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring and/or investing in, producing, developing or exploration-stage resource projects. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas would present challenges and risks that it has not faced in the past. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may have a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Market Events and General Economic Conditions May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business, Industry and Profitability

Adverse events in global financial markets can have profound impacts on the global economy.

Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations, high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange, precious metal, base metal and mineral markets and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect ERL’s

24

growth and valuation. Specifically, the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and ERL’s overall liquidity; the volatility of commodities and other metal prices could impact ERL’s revenues, profits, losses, cash flow and the value of ERL’s Royalties; continued recessionary pressures could adversely impact demand for ERL’s assets; and the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets could impact the valuation of ERL’s equity and other securities. These factors could have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s financial condition and operating results.

Disease Outbreaks May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business

ERL’s business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (“ COVID-19 ”). ERL cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on third parties’ ability to meet their obligations with ERL, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. COVID-19 has become a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact ERL’s operating results. The ultimate extent of the impact of any widespread global outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis on ERL’s business, financial condition, results of operations and financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect ERL’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Operational and Development Risk

ERL invests in the mineral exploration sector, which implicitly involves a high degree of risk caused by limited chances of discovery of an economic deposit and eventual mine development.

Uncertainty of Exploration Results and Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the operator of any given project will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals on lands where ERL holds or may hold royalties. If mineable deposits are discovered, substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained at all or on terms acceptable to the operator. Although ERL intends to only hold royalty interests and not be responsible for these expenditures, the operator may not be in a financial position to obtain the necessary funds to advance the project.

Development Stage Projects

Royalties from commercial operations will depend on a significant number of factors, including economic feasibility, changing market conditions, aboriginal involvement, environmental and governmental regulations, labour availability, the cost of and the ability to attract external financial capital, and the ability to attract partners with sufficient technical expertise and relevant industry experience to further develop the various projects. The mine operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental

25

authorities. There can be no assurance that the operator of any given project will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations. Any failure to meet one or a combination of these factors may result in project delays or potential cancellation and ERL’s future operating results may be adversely affected. ERL mitigates this risk by evaluating the economic potential of each property at each stage of its life cycle and through diversification of Royalties.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Commodities are typically purchased in U.S. currency, which drives Royalty income. However, ERL maintains its accounting records, reports its financial position and results, pays certain operating expenses and will have the RI Shares listed on an exchange, in Canadian currency. Fluctuation in the U.S. currency exchange rate relative to the Canadian currency could negatively impact the value of the RI Shares. Because exchange rate fluctuations are beyond ERL’s control, there can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not have an adverse effect on ERL’s operations or on the trading value of the RI Shares.

Regulatory Change

ERL’s operations are subject to extensive governmental regulations with respect to such matters as environmental protection; health, safety and labour; mining law reform; restrictions on production or export, price controls and tax increases; aboriginal land claims; and expropriation of property in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Violations of these regulations and regulatory requirements could lead to substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions. ERL mitigates this risk through not doing business in unstable countries and, within stable countries, ERL follows all laws and regulations and engages legal counsel to ensure compliance, if necessary. ERL may be affected by changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or other taxes. Such changes could, depending on their nature, benefit or adversely affect ERL.

Litigation

ERL may from time to time be involved in various claims, legal proceedings and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. If such disputes arise and ERL is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Leverage

ERL may use financial leverage by borrowing funds against the assets of ERL. The use of leverage increases the risk to ERL and subjects ERL to higher current expenses. Also, if the value of ERL’s assets drops to the loan value or less, shareholders could sustain a total loss of their investment.

No Opportunity to Hedge Commodities

There is no opportunity for ERL to hedge the downside price risk of all the commodities of interest since there is no derivatives market for all the commodities of interest. As a result, the value of the RI Shares will largely depend upon, and typically fluctuate with, the price of commodities.

Impact from Other Commodities

Some of the commodities such as cobalt may be predominantly mined as a by-product. Any effect on the price of the main commodities may affect the price and availability of the other commodities. Future pricing of commodities will depend, in part, on mine capacity and major producing countries, as well as the

26

development of new projects. For example, a strong copper and/or nickel market will likely result in increased output of copper and nickel ores containing other commodities, which may impact the supply and price of those commodities.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of ERL’s directors may also serve as directors or officers, or have significant shareholdings in, other companies involved in the metals industry and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which ERL may participate, or in ventures in which ERL may seek to participate, the directors and officers of ERL may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In all cases where directors and officers have an interest in other companies, such other companies may also compete with ERL for the acquisition of royalties or other investments. Such conflicts of the directors and officers may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Management Experience and Dependence on Key Personnel and Employees

ERL is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, whose contributions to immediate and future operations of ERL are of significant importance. The loss of any such members could negatively affect business operations. From time to time, ERL will also need to identify and retain additional skilled management and specialized technical personnel to efficiently operate its business. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition of Royalties and interests in the metals industry is limited, and competition for such persons can be intense. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to ERL’s success and there can be no assurance of such success. If ERL is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, ERL’s ability to execute its business model and growth strategy could be affected, which could have a material adverse impact on its profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition. ERL does not intend to maintain “key man” insurance for any members of its management.

Specific Risks Related to Royalties

Royalties

While management of ERL believes that the acquisition of Royalties in mineral properties containing battery and renewable energy-related commodities will deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns regardless of commodity cycles, there can be no assurance that any of ERL’s Royalties will be successful or profitable, or that it will be able to acquire any successful or profitable Royalty investments. If ERL cannot acquire any successful or profitable Royalty investments, it may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Rights of Third Parties

Some Royalty interests may be subject to: (i) buy-down right provisions pursuant to which an operator may buy-back all or a portion of the Royalty; (ii) pre-emptive rights pursuant to which parties have the right of first refusal or first offer with respect to a proposed sale or assignment of the Royalty; or (iii) claw back rights pursuant to which the seller of a Royalty has the right to re-acquire the Royalty. Holders of these rights may exercise them such that certain Royalty interests would not be available for acquisition.

27

Costs May Influence Return to Royalty Holder

Net smelter or net profit Royalties, equity interests and similar interests allow the operator to account for the effect of prevailing cost pressures on the project before calculating a Royalty. In the instance of net smelter Royalties these cost pressures include smelting, refining and transportation cost. In the instance of net profits Royalties, these cost pressures include costs of labour, equipment, electricity, environmental compliance, and numerous other capital, operating and production inputs. Such costs will fluctuate in ways the Royalty holder will not be able to predict and will be beyond the control of such holder, and can have a dramatic effect on the revenue payable on these Royalties and other interests. Any increase in the costs incurred by the operators on the applicable properties will likely result in a decline in the royalty revenue received by the Royalty holder. This, in turn, will affect overall revenue generated by the Royalty holder which may have a material and adverse effect on its profitability, financial condition, results of operations and financial performance.

Dependence on Third Party Property Owners and Operators

Cash flows derived from Royalties are based on operations by third parties. These third parties will be responsible for determining the manner in which the relevant properties subject to the Royalties are exploited, including decisions to expand, continue or reduce production from a property, decisions about the marketing of products extracted from the property and decisions to advance exploration efforts and conduct development of non-producing properties. As a holder of Royalties or other interests, ERL will have little or no input on such matters. The interests of third party owners and operators and those of ERL on the relevant properties may not always be aligned. As an example, it will, in almost all cases, be in the interests of ERL to advance development and production on properties as rapidly as possible in order to maximize near-term cash flow, while third party owners and operators may, in many cases, take a more cautious approach to development as they are at risk on the cost of development and operations. The inability of ERL to control the operations for the properties in which it has a Royalty or other interest may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Limited Access to Data and Disclosure

As a holder of Royalties and other non-operator interests, ERL neither serves as the mine owner or operator, and in almost all cases ERL has no input into how the operations are conducted. As such, ERL has varying access to data on the operations or to the actual properties themselves. This could affect its ability to assess the value of the Royalties or enhance their performance. This could also result in delays in cash flow from that anticipated by ERL based on the stage of development of the applicable properties covered by its Royalties. ERL’s Royalty payments may be calculated by the payors in a manner different from ERL’s projections and ERL may or may not have rights of audit with respect to Royalty interests. In addition, some Royalties may be subject to confidentiality arrangements which govern the disclosure of information with regard to Royalties and as such ERL may not be in a position to publicly disclose non-public information with respect thereto. The limited access to data and disclosure regarding the operations of the properties in which ERL has an interest, may restrict its ability to assess the value or enhance its performance which may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, financial performance, results of operations and financial condition.

Royalties May not be Honoured by Operators of a Project

Royalties are largely contractually based. Parties to contracts do not always honour contractual terms and contracts themselves may be subject to interpretation or technical defects. To the extent grantors of Royalties and other interests do not abide by their contractual obligations, ERL may be forced to take legal

28

action to enforce its contractual rights. Such litigation may be time consuming and costly, and as with all litigation, no guarantee of success can be made. Should any such decision be determined adversely to ERL, it may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Due Diligence May Not Reveal All Relevant Facts in connection with an Investment in a Royalty

The due diligence process undertaken by ERL in connection with any investments in Royalties that it makes or wishes to make may not reveal all relevant facts in connection with an investment in such Royalties. Before making an investment in a Royalty, ERL will conduct due diligence investigations that it deems reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence investigations, ERL may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisors, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence investigations and making an assessment regarding an investment in a particular Royalty or other interest, ERL will rely on resources available, including information provided by the target of the investment and, in some circumstances, third party investigations. The due diligence investigations that are carried out with respect to any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. Moreover, such investigation will not necessarily result in the investment being successful.

Additional Risks

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and holding of Royalties. In the future, ERL may elect to pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring direct interests in commodity properties or shares in commodity producers, explorers or technology developers. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas will present challenges and risks for which management may not have sufficient expertise. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

Dependence on Payment from Operators

ERL will be dependent to a large extent upon the financial viability and operational effectiveness of owners and operators of the properties underlying its Royalty portfolio. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. Payments may be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, recovery by the operators of expenses, the establishment by the operators of mineral reserves for such expenses or the bankruptcy, insolvency or other adverse financial condition of the operator. ERL’s rights to payment under the Royalties must, in most cases, be enforced by contract without the protection of a security interest over property that ERL could readily liquidate. This inhibits ERL’s ability to collect outstanding payments owed on its Royalties upon a default. In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other arrangement of an operator or owner, ERL will be treated like any other unsecured creditor, and therefore have a limited prospect for full recovery of royalty revenue. ERL mitigates this risk by having formal legal agreements with Royalty payors, which would allow ERL to exert legal rights and enforce Royalty contracts, if required.

PART I — THE TRANSACTION

SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION

Amalgamation

The Corporation and CPC Sub have entered into the Business Combination Agreement with the Target Company pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Target Company Shares by way of a three-cornered amalgamation pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement. Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, the Target Company and CPC Sub will amalgamate, the holders’ Target Company Shares will be disposed of and cancelled in exchange for New Common Shares, and the CPC Sub Shares will be disposed of and cancelled, and in exchange therefor Amalco will issue one Amalco Share in respect of every cancelled CPC Sub Share. In addition, Amalco shall issue one Amalco Share to the Corporation in consideration for the issuance of the New Common Shares issued by the Corporation. The acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding Target Company Shares will serve as the Corporation’s Qualifying Transaction. Although the Proposed Qualifying Transaction will result in Amalco becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, the Proposed Qualifying Transaction will constitute a reverse takeover of the Corporation inasmuch as the former Target Company Shareholders will own a substantial majority of the RI Shares and all members of the Board except Craig Lindsay, a current director of the Corporation, will be designees of the Target Company. Upon Completion of the Transaction, the business of the Target Company will be the business of the Resulting Issuer. See “ Part III - Information Concerning the Target Company - Narrative Description of the Business ”.

Consolidation

As a condition of closing the Transaction, concurrently with, or immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, and subject to approval of the Corporation Shareholders, the Corporation will undertake the Consolidation of the Common Shares on the basis of two Common Shares for one Post-Consolidation Common Share. The number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Corporation Options will be adjusted according to the Consolidation ratio in accordance with their terms.

Concurrent Offering

As a condition of closing the Transaction, subject to approval of the Exchange, the Corporation will complete the Offering of a minimum of 14,000,000 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $3,500,000. Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, into one Offering Share upon the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction (other than the release of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts) and the completion of the Amalgamation (collectively, the “ Conditions ”) at or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 25, 2020 (the “ Deadline ”). In the event the Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the Deadline, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the aggregate subscription price paid by each of the holders will be returned to each of the holders.

In connection with the Offering, the Corporation may pay a cash commission or finder’s fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering to certain parties designated by the Corporation. The Resulting Issuer will use the net proceeds from the Offering and current cash on hand to fund, among other things, the acquisition of additional Royalties, administrative costs, general working capital purposes and regulatory and legal costs incurred to complete the Transaction. See “ Part IV Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Available Funds and Principal Purposes ”.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Management’s Discussion and Analysis for (i) the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and (ii) the three month period ended March 31, 2020, are presented in Appendix B to this Filing Statement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Shares

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 4,660,000 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable, and of which 2,660,000 are CPC Escrow Shares. In addition, 200,000 Common Shares are reserved for issuance under the Corporation Options.

All of the authorized Common Shares will rank equally as to dividends, voting powers (one vote per Common Share) and participation in assets upon dissolution or winding-up. No Common Shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights attached to the Common Shares and no provisions for redemption, retraction, or purchase for cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds, or provision permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities, or requiring a security holder to contribute additional capital. Provisions as to the modification, amendment or variation of such rights or provisions are contained in the BCBCA and the articles of the Corporation. Generally, substantive changes to the share capital require the approval of the Corporation Shareholders by special resolution (at least two-thirds of the votes cast by Corporation Shareholders present in person or by proxy). All Post-Consolidation Common Shares to be outstanding after completion of the Transaction will be fully paid and non-assessable.

STOCK OPTION PLAN AND OPTIONS GRANTED

The Corporation has adopted the Corporation Option Plan, which provides that the board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers and technical consultants to the Corporation, Corporation Options, which are nontransferable options to purchase Common Shares, provided that the number of Common Shares reserved

41

for issuance will not exceed 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, and provided that so long as the Corporation remains classified as a CPC the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Corporation Option Plan will not exceed 10% Common Shares.

Such Corporation Options will be exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant. In connection with the foregoing, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The board of directors determines the price per Common Share, the number of Common Shares that may be granted to each director, officer and technical consultant and all other terms and conditions of the option, including the vesting schedule of the Corporation Option, subject to Exchange Policies. In the absence of a vesting schedule, the Corporation Option will vest immediately. While the Corporation is a CPC it is prohibited from granting Corporation Options to any person providing investor relations activities, promotional, or market-making services. Options may be exercised no later than 90 days following cessation of the optionee’s position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement was by reason of death, the Corporation Option may be exercised within a maximum period of one year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such Corporation Option. The exercise price of any options granted under the Corporation Option Plan shall not be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the day preceding the day on which the directors grant such Corporation Options, less any discount permitted by the Exchange to a minimum of $0.10 per share. For so long as the Corporation remains classified as a CPC and has not completed its Qualifying Transaction, no Corporation Option granted may be exercised before the completion of the Qualifying Transaction unless the optionee agrees in writing to deposit the Common Shares acquired into escrow until the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

There are currently 200,000 outstanding and exercisable Corporation Options as granted under the Corporation Option Plan.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Name and Incorporation

Electric Royalties Ltd. was incorporated on January 26, 2012 pursuant to the BCBCA. The Target Company’s name was changed from Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited to Electric Royalties Ltd. on July 10, 2019.

The head office and registered office of the Target Company is located at 15[th] Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4H1.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

The Target Company is currently a privately held royalty investment company in the natural resources (mining) sector.

The Target Company acquires revenue-based and net smelter return Royalties on operating mines, mines under construction, development stage mining projects and exploration stage resource projects (collectively hereinafter “ Projects ”) from operators of Projects looking to raise capital to develop or explore Projects or to recapitalise their balance sheets as well as existing royalties held by third parties (collectively hereinafter the “ Royalty Sellers ”). Net smelter returns are broadly defined as the net revenue (after smelting and refining costs) that the owner of a Project receives from the smelter or refinery for the mine’s metal or mineral products less specified transportation and insurance costs and net smelter return royalties are a set percentage of the net smelter return (“ NSR ”). Gross revenue royalties entitle the Royalty owner to a percentage of the gross revenue from the metals or minerals produced by a Project and sold (“ GRR ”).

The Target Company’s business objectives are to acquire a portfolio of long-term, stable, and diversified Royalty streams from Royalty Sellers and to provide shareholders with capital appreciation and a growing, sustainable, long-term cash distribution over time.

The Target Company management has identified over 500 potential Royalty acquisition opportunities over operating, construction, development or exploration stage Projects, through provision of development capital or acquisition of pre-existing Royalties, within the Target Company’s focus commodities of nickel, copper, graphite, cobalt, tin, lithium, manganese and vanadium (collectively, the “ Target Commodities ”).

Traditional Royalty-based financing has been used extensively in the North American natural resource, consumer products, industrial manufacturing, industrial services, healthcare and food sectors.

The Target Company’s long-term objectives will be achieved by:

  • acquiring long-term GRR and NSR Royalties on Projects from Royalty Sellers;

  • reinvesting Royalty income to acquire new Royalties on an ongoing basis to drive growth in the Target Company’s assets and returns;

45

  • using debt financing to acquire additional Royalties in order to enhance financial returns for shareholders; and

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

The Target Company’s business model is well understood and developed in the mining sector and offers shareholders advantages relative to other mining investments. Key aspects of the Target Company’s business model include:

Diversification Management plans on diversifying its Royalty acquisitions across several different
commodities including graphite, nickel, copper, cobalt, lithium, manganese,
vanadium and tin, development stage of projects ranging from operating to
exploration and geography.
Geographic Focus The Target Company’s primary focus will be on jurisdictions with low
geopolitical risk targeting Projects located in Canada, USA, Australia, Europe and
other jurisdictions that meet the criteria.
Low Operating
Costs
The Target Company’s Royalty investments over time should generate cash flows
without ongoing holding costs while maintaining a low general and administrative
(G&A) and overhead cost structure.
Security In addition to formal legal agreements, the Target Company intends to secure its
Royalty investments through registration or recording the royalty against title,
where applicable.
Gross Revenue or
Net Smelter
Return Based
Royalties are calculated based on GRR or the NSR and are payable irrespective of
the underlying profitability of the Project Owner.

53

No Additional
Capital Outlay
The Target Company’s Royalty interests do not require additional capital
contribution or operating expenditures post-acquisition, even if the underlying
Project requires additional capital to increase the mine’s life, capacity or
development costs. Management believes that such activities may create additional
opportunities to increase its Royalty investment in the underlying Project.
Leverage The long-term sustainable cash flows generated from the underlying Royalty
acquisitions should enable the Target Company to access debt markets at
competitive borrowing rates. At the appropriate time in the future, management
intends on accessing debt in order to fund Royalty acquisitions and enhance the
return to shareholders.
Dividends The long-term sustainable cash flows generated from the underlying Royalty
acquisitions should enable the Target Company to institute a sustainable cash
dividend policy. At the appropriate time in the future, the Target Company intends
to pay an annual cash dividend to shareholders.

Advantages of a Royalty Business Model over Traditional Mining Companies

The Target Company is a growth and yield-oriented company as it plans to re-invest most of its free cash flows into new Royalty investments while maintaining a sustainable cash dividend policy over time. The Target Company management believes that a Royalty based business model will provide shareholders with significant advantages over comparable investments in a traditional mining company. These advantages include:

  • the Royalty business model having been successfully deployed by other Issuers (e.g. FrancoNevada Corporation and Wheaton Precious Metals) in the mining space and having outperformed traditional mining companies and the underlying commodities they are associated with;

  • Royalty companies do not operate mines and as a result do not require large and highly specialized teams to carry on their business in the ordinary course;

  • the Royalty business model diversifies investments and mitigates risk;

  • Royalties are generally registered against mineral title (i.e. they are “secured”); and

  • lower risk - Royalties are typically based on revenues and paid irrespective of underlying profitability, with no further capital outlay required.

Management believes that the Target Company’s business model provides a combination of growth and long-term yield that should be attractive to public market, private equity, institutional, pension or insurance investors.

54

Markets Overview

Royalty Sellers

Due to their size and a continued shortage of capital investment into the junior mining sector, Royalty Sellers typically have limited and/or expensive financing alternatives for the exploration, development or construction of Projects or recapitalisation of balance sheets. Historically, these companies have had to rely on expensive and dilutive equity financing, loans from their shareholders, or proceeds from the full or partial sale of their development or operational assets to fund their business objectives.

The Royalty financing solutions provided by the Target Company allow these companies to access capital to assist them in developing or advancing their Projects until they reach the point where traditional debt and equity becomes available to them on more attractive terms or they are able to sell their Projects to larger mining groups.

The Target Company’s Royalty structures provide non-dilutive financing solutions that are aligned with the interests of Royalty Sellers as follows:

  • (a) provides funding that may not be readily available in debt or equity markets;

  • (b) is non-dilutive to the equity shareholders of the Royalty Sellers, as Royalties are tied to individual Projects;

  • (c) allows the Royalty Sellers to raise capital without having to sell down an ownership interest in their existing projects;

  • (d) provides funding at a reasonable cost;

  • (e) does not impose any debt structures that obligate a specific amount and timing of repayment;

55

  • (f) allows the Royalty Sellers the financial flexibility to issue equity or debt in the future when commercial terms are more favorable to them; and

  • (g) does not require the Royalty Sellers to give up control of their Projects.

Proven Business Model

While Royalty financing is new to the renewable energy industry, Royalty financing and sale of revenue streams have been a major alternative sources of funding in a number of industries such as:

  • (a) health-care, industrial and commercial businesses (e.g. Alaris Royalties and Diversified Royalties);

  • (b)

  • restaurants (e.g. Boston Pizza Royalties and Keg Royalties);

  • (c) mining (e.g. Franco-Nevada Corporation, Wheaton Precious Metals, Royal Gold, Maverix Metals, Sandstorm);

  • (d)

  • oil and gas (e.g. Prairie Sky); and

  • (e) agriculture (e.g. Input Capital).

The success of this alternative financing solution has been demonstrated by the growth and performance of companies in the Royalty financing sector. The stock price performance of these companies has typically outperformed all relevant equity and underlying commodity price indices. Companies receiving the Royalty financing have greatly benefited by receiving upfront cash from the sale of Royalties and revenue streams without immediate dilution of their share capital, as this alternative source of financing is more accretive to net asset value per common share of an investee. Unlike debt financing, Royalty financing does not require significant financial covenants.

The Target Company has identified that the recent (i) emergence and rapid move to electrification of transportation; (ii) increase in demand for storage (batteries) from renewable energy sources; and (iii) growth of the renewable energy generation section, has created opportunity for Royalty financing of Projects that seeks to exploit metals and minerals to feed this demand.

Royalty Overview

A Royalty is a payment by the Project Owner or an operator of a Project of a percentage of the minerals or other products produced or the profits generated from the Project to the holder of such Royalty. The granting of a Royalty to a person other than the Project Owner or the operator of the Project typically arises as a result of: (i) raising funds by granting the Royalty; (ii) paying part of the consideration payable to prospectors or junior mining companies for the purchase of their property interests; or (iii) a conversion to a Royalty of a participating interest in a joint venture relationship. Royalties are not working interests in the Project. Therefore, the Royalty holder is not responsible for the Project, nor does it have an obligation to contribute additional funds for any purpose, including, but not limited to, operating or capital costs, or environmental or reclamation liabilities. Furthermore, because many Royalties are constructed as legal contracts rather than property interests, the Royalty holder’s risk exposure is usually limited to metal prices and operational performance. These unique characteristics provide Royalty holders with special commercial benefits not available to the Project Owner because the Royalty holder enjoys the upside potential of the Project with reduced risk.

57

Today, the creation of Royalties is prevalent in many countries around the world and the governments of a number of countries have also adopted Royalties as part of the payments owed to them by Project Owners when Projects go into production. Royalties between Project Owners and private third-parties often have similar characteristics to government-based Royalties.

The most common types of Royalties include:

  • Gross Overriding Royalties based on the total revenue stream with no deductions.

  • Gross Royalties based on all revenues in cash or in-kind products received by the operator for the sale of product.

  • Gross Revenue Royalties based on total revenues calculated in respect of sales agreements by multiplying the metal content by a reference price from the sale of ore, minerals or other products extracted from the area covered by the project.

  • NSR Royalties based on a percentage of proceeds received for refined minerals from the smelter or refinery, less specified transport, insurance and other expenses.

  • Net Profit Royalty (NPR) or Net Interest Royalties (NIR) based on the total revenues less specified accounting expenses, possible recovery of capital and interest on expenditures incurred.

Minority working or equity interests are not considered to be Royalties because of the ongoing funding commitments, although they can be similar in their calculations to NIRs or NPRs. NSRs are the most common Royalty for mineral projects with variations being based on a dollar per tonne processed or changing (“sliding”) rate tied to either metal prices, grade and/or capital repayment schedules.

Competitive Conditions

The Target Company believes that there is a significant lack of funding sources available to junior mining companies developing lithium, cobalt, tin, manganese, graphite, vanadium, copper and nickel projects. Unlike the precious metals sector which has a large number of Royalty companies focused on providing alternative Royalty financing, there are no publicly listed Royalty companies focused exclusively on the suite of metals associated with EV and electric battery production.

There are some potential competitors for Royalty financing on copper and nickel projects from publiclylisted companies such as Anglo Pacific Group plc and Franco-Nevada Corporation, as well as privately held companies such as BaseCore and Orion Mine Finance. The larger listed and unlisted Royalty companies or funds generally focus on precious metals and on larger projects where they can deploy significant amounts of capital in a single construction financing transaction. They may be opportunistic in the base metal space especially if it meets their size constraints or has a precious metals component (e.g. copper and gold asset). The Target Company will be investing in or acquiring Royalties earlier in the development timeline of Projects and working on smaller deal sizes. Additionally, a large portion of funding competition generally comes in the form of metal streams. The Target Company intends to maintain a focus on royalties which offers less imposing restrictions upon the Project Owners. On the smaller end of the scale, competitors include Conic Metals Corp. (battery metals streaming, royalties and direct interest focus) and privately held Battery One Royalty Corp (nickel and copper focus), Lithium Royalty Corp. (lithium focus) and Vox Royalties (diversified streaming and royalties including battery metals focus).

New sources of competition could potentially come from the established royalty groups already active in the precious metals sector however relative to the gold market, the Target Company’s target sector is smaller in comparison. There may be new entrants or entrants that the Target Company has not identified, as the battery metal space develops.

58

The Target Company will be geographically unconstrained in its Royalty holdings, but will focus on safe jurisdictions with well established mining laws and Royalty regimes where the asset quality justifies investment.

Industry Overview

The global EV and battery production industry continues to expand rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency (“ IEA ”), the global stock of electric passenger cars passing five million in 2018, an increase of 63% from 2017. The number of charging points worldwide was estimated to be approximately 5.2 million at the end of 2018, up 44% from 2017. China remains the world’s largest EV market, followed by Europe and the United States. The IEA notes that government policies continue to have a major influence on the development of electric mobility.

The EV industry is a subset of the renewable energy industry. With the completion of the December 2015 UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, many countries globally have agreed to adopt and/or enhance policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the effects of climate change. This global agreement supports long-term growth in the EV sector.

Target Commodities

EV and battery production capacity is slated to increase significantly over the next several years and with it the demand for the Target Commodities. The Target Company will initially focus on the following Target Commodities:

  • Tin

  • Lithium

  • Graphite

  • Cobalt

  • Manganese

  • Vanadium

  • Copper

  • Nickel

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Stated Business Objectives

Upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will carry on the business currently operated by the Target Company. The Target Company’s general business objective is to acquire a portfolio of long-term, stable and diversified Royalty streams.

Long Term Objectives and Financial Forecast

The Resulting Issuer expects to acquire a portfolio of long-term, stable, and diversified Royalty streams on Projects and to provide RI Shareholders with capital appreciation and a growing, sustainable, long-term cash distribution over time. The Resulting Issuer’s long-term objectives will be achieved by:

  • acquiring long-term Royalty streams on a diversified pool of Projects;

  • reinvesting Royalty income to acquire new Royalties on an ongoing basis to drive growth;

66

  • maintaining a low operating cost structure (relative to other mining companies); and

  • using debt financing to acquire additional Royalties in order to enhance financial returns for RI Shareholders.

Management of the Resulting Issuer will screen and acquire Royalties in accordance with the following major principles:

  • quality of the Project / feasibility of successful mining across geology, engineering, metallurgy, permitting etc.;

  • stage of development of the Project;

  • management team and track record; and

  • jurisdiction.

The Resulting Issuer’s Royalty investments will typically be protected using a combination of the following securitization strategies:

  • registration against title, and

  • contractual security (pledge of other assets).

The Resulting Issuer has no intention to vary or amend the current business objectives of the Target Company. The Resulting Issuer intends to raise additional capital, either in the form of equity or debt, to execute upon its long-term objective of acquiring a portfolio of long-term, stable, and diversified Royalty streams.

The long-term financial forecast below is based on the following key assumptions:

  • the Resulting Issuer’s ability to complete equity financings;

  • the Resulting Issuer’s ability to complete debt financings on the following terms; o five-year term;

  • one year grace period and thereafter increased annual principal repayments; and

  • o interest rate of 7.5%;

  • the Resulting Issuer’s ability to issue dividends commencing in year 4 at 7.5%;

  • average long-term pre-tax IRR of over 25% on Royalty investments;

  • average inflation rate of 2%;

  • 7% commission on equity financing;

  • 27% effective corporate tax rate for the Resulting Issuer;

  • the Resulting Issuer’s ability to complete acquisitions of additional Royalties;

  • the Resulting Issuer’s ability to use RI Shares to acquire new Royalties;

  • commodity price forecasts estimated internally by the Resulting Issuer proving to be accurate; and

  • Projects on which Royalties held by the Resulting Issuer develop along planned timelines and meet production targets.

Based on the assumptions above, the Resulting Issuer expects to acquire 10 to 12 additional royalties over the next 12 to 24 months. The forecasts included in this Filing Statement have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management of the Target Company. Neither the Target Company’s independent auditor, nor any other independent auditors or financial advisors, has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the forecasts set forth below, and accordingly, neither the Target Company’s independent auditor nor any other independent auditors or financial advisors has expressed an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

The Resulting Issuer expects its long-term financial and cash flow forecast to be as follows:

Short Term Objectives and How We Intend to Achieve Them

Target Acquisitions

Management has identified over 750 existing and potential Royalty financing opportunities. Management intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pursue a shortlist of these opportunities in the next 12 months, subject to the successful completion of due diligence to the Resulting Issuer’s satisfaction and documentation of the intended transaction. The Target Company has had discussions with more than seven individuals and/or companies regarding Royalty financing and Royalty acquisition opportunities and is currently advancing due diligence and negotiations on several opportunities in parallel. In general, the Target Company’s target Royalty acquisitions are primarily advanced stage Projects with an established resource located in Canada, the USA, Australia or Europe. The target Royalty acquisitions are diversified across nickel, cobalt, copper, lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin and graphite.

Discussions are currently underway with Royalty Sellers in connection with the acquisition of two Royalties in addition to the Globex Portfolio, the Global Portfolio, the Bissett Creek Royalty and the Elementos Portfolio. Initial discussions have begun with respect to another five Royalty acquisitions.

The Resulting Issuer intends to meet its business objectives for the next 12 months as set out in the following table.

Insufficient Funds

The proceeds of the Offering will not be sufficient to accomplish all of the Resulting Issuer’s proposed objectives. Management anticipates that Royalty income and funds from additional financings will be sufficient for it to meet its objectives, however there is no assurance that such revenue will result or that additional financing will be available. The Resulting Issuer may have to curtail its operations if revenue does not occur as expected, or additional financing is not available.

Investment Policy

The Resulting Issuer’s investment objectives, investment strategy and investment restrictions may be amended from time to time on the recommendation of management and approval of the Board. They are further detailed in the Resulting Issuer’s Investment Policy, a copy of which is attached as Appendix F to this Filing Statement.

Milestones

Significant milestones for measuring the success of the Resulting Issuer’s operation and activities planned in 2020 and 2021 include acquiring additional Royalties and maintaining a low operating cost structure. The Resulting Issuer’s initial business objective will be to acquire four to six additional advanced stage Royalties with the potential to generate near term Royalty revenue to cover corporate costs and to build cash flow to acquire additional Royalties moving forward. The Resulting Issuer’s cash balance of approximately C$3.7 million may not be sufficient to meet this objective.

For pre-production stage Projects, many of the proposed Royalty acquisitions will include an option to acquire additional Royalties in exchange for additional financing support prior to Royalty revenue being generated. The additional Royalty options will be subject to the underlying Projects meeting certain technical development milestones. In order to be able to execute on the additional Royalty options or acquire larger cash-flow producing Royalties, the Resulting Issuer will require additional financing. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE RESULTING ISSUER WILL RAISE ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AND THE FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A LACK OF WORKING CAPITAL TO CARRY ON BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE RESULTING ISSUER. See “Risk Factors ”.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General Provisions

NEO means each of the following individuals:

  • (a) CEO;

  • (b) CFO;

  • (c) each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year; and

  • (d) each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Resulting Issuer, nor acting in a similar capacity, during the year.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Resulting Issuer’s compensation policies and programs will be designed to be competitive with similar royalty financing companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Resulting Issuer’s business.

The Resulting Issuer expects to establish a compensation committee (the “ Compensation Committee ”). The function of this committee will be to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation practices of the executive officers of the Resulting Issuer. In furtherance of this purpose, the Compensation Committee shall have the following duties, responsibilities and authority:

  • (a) The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the Board the form and amount of compensation to be paid by the Resulting Issuer to directors for service on the Board and on Board committees. The Committee shall review director compensation at least annually.

  • (b) The Compensation Committee shall annually review the Resulting Issuer’s base compensation structure and the Resulting Issuer’s incentive compensation, stock option

79

and other equity-based compensation programs and recommend changes in or additions in such structure and plans to the Board as needed.

  • (c) The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the Board the annual base compensation of the Resulting Issuer’s executive officers and senior managers (collectively the “ Officers ”).

  • (d) The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the Board the range of increase or decrease in the annual base compensation for non-Officer personnel providing services to the Resulting Issuer.

  • (e) The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the Board annual corporate goals and objectives under any incentive compensation plan adopted by the Resulting Issuer for Officers and non-Officer personnel providing services to the Resulting Issuer, and recommend incentive compensation participation levels for Officers and non-Officer personnel providing services to the Resulting Issuer under any such incentive compensation plan. In determining the incentive component of compensation, the Committee will consider the Resulting Issuer’s performance and relative shareholder return, the values of similar incentives at comparable companies and the awards given in past years.

  • (f) The Compensation Committee shall evaluate the performance of Officers generally and in light of annual corporate goals and objectives under any incentive compensation plan.

  • (g) The Compensation Committee shall periodically review with the Chairman and CEO their assessments of Officers and succession plans, and make recommendations to the Board regarding the appointment of Officers.

  • (h) The Compensation Committee shall provide oversight of the performance evaluation and incentive compensation of non-Officer personnel providing services to the Resulting Issuer.

  • (i) The Compensation Committee shall administer the Resulting Issuer’s stock option and other equity based compensation plans and determine the annual grants of stock options and other equity based compensation.

  • (j) The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the nominating and governance committee the qualifications and criteria for membership on the Compensation Committee.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Board assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Resulting Issuer although the Compensation Committee guides it in this role. As part of its mandate, the Board will determine the type and amount of compensation for the Resulting Issuer’s executive officers. In addition, the Board will review the methodology utilized by the Resulting Issuer for setting salaries of employees throughout the organization.

The Resulting Issuer’s Compensation Committee shall review competitive market information on compensation levels for executives.

80

Philosophy and Objectives

The compensation program for the senior management of the Resulting Issuer shall be designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:

  • (a) attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives;

  • (b) motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and

  • (c) better aligning their interests with those of the Resulting Issuer’s shareholders.

In compensating its senior management, the Resulting Issuer expects to employ a combination of base salary, bonus compensation and equity participation through its stock option plan.

Base Salary

In the Board’s view, paying base salaries that are competitive in the markets in which the Resulting Issuer operates is a first step to attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives. Competitive salary information on comparable companies within the industry is compiled from a variety of sources, including surveys conducted by independent consultants and national and international publications.

Bonus Compensation

The Resulting Issuer’s objective will be to achieve certain strategic objectives and milestones. The Board will consider executive bonus compensation dependent upon the Resulting Issuer meeting those strategic objectives and milestones and sufficient cash resources being available for the granting of bonuses. Bonuses are awarded at the discretion of the Board. The Board approves executive bonus compensation dependent upon compensation levels based on recommendations of the Compensation Committee, and such recommendations are generally based, if necessary, on survey data provided by independent consultants.

Option-Based Awards

The Board believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation will be accomplished through a stock option plan. Stock options are expected to be granted to senior executives taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and competitive factors. Options are expected to generally be granted to senior executives and vest on terms established by the Compensation Committee. During the 12 month period following completion of the Transaction, an option grant will be made to senior executives, but the timing, price and quantum of the proposed grant has not yet been determined.

81

Share-Based Awards

During the 12 month period following completion of the Transaction, it is not expected that the Resulting Issuer will grant any share-based awards, being awards granted under an equity incentive plan of equity based instruments that do not have option-like features, including common shares, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common share equivalent units, and stock.

Compensation of the CEO

The compensation of the CEO is to be approved by the Board. Base salary and bonus levels will be determined taking into account independent market survey data.

The Compensation Committee, once constituted, will review the grants of stock options to directors, management, employees and consultants.

As noted above under the heading “Bonus Compensation”, incentives that may be paid to the CEO and any other member of the executive or senior management team are determined in respect of the individuals and management team achieving strategic objectives and milestones which are expected to be set at the beginning of each year by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.

Stock Options

Concurrent with the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will adopt a 10% rolling stock option plan. For a description of the material terms of the Resulting Issuer’s proposed stock option plan see “ Part IV – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Options to Purchase Securities ” in this Filing Statement.

Compensation of Directors

Following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that non-management directors of the Resulting Issuer will receive an annual retainer fee of $15,000 ($1,250 per month) in their capacity as directors.

It is also anticipated that non-management directors will be reimbursed for transportation and other out-ofpocket expenses incurred for attendance at Board meetings and in connection with discharging their director functions.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

No individual who is, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year of the Target Company or the Corporation, was, a director or officer of the Target Company or the Corporation, no proposed director or officer of the Resulting Issuer, and no associate of any such director, officer or proposed nominee, is indebted to the Target Company or the Corporation or CPC Sub (other than for “routine indebtedness” as defined by applicable securities legislation) or has any indebtedness that is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Target Company, the Corporation or CPC Sub.

83

INVESTOR RELATIONS ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation has not reached any written or oral agreement or understanding with any person to provide any promotional or investor relations services for the Resulting Issuer.

(2) Craig Lindsay holds 25,000 Corporation Options (on a post-Consolidation basis) at an exercise price of $0.20.

Stock Option Plan

Prior to the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation may implement a new incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Resulting Issuer non-transferable options to purchase RI Shares, provided that the number of RI Shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding RI Shares. The exercise price for all options will be determined by the Board, provided that the minimum exercise price of options must not be less than the discounted market price (as defined by the Exchange). Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to five years from the date of grant. In connection with the foregoing, the number of RI Shares reserved for issuance in any twelve month period to: (a) any individual director or officer many not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding RI Shares (unless otherwise approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Resulting Issuer); (b) any one consultant may not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding RI Shares; and (c) all persons employed to provide investor relations activities may not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding RI Shares.

Tax withholding and procedures

The Resulting Issuer may, from time to time, implement such procedures and conditions as it determines appropriate with respect to the withholding and remittance of taxes imposed under applicable law, or the

84

funding of related amounts for which liability may arise under such applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an optionee who wishes to exercise an option must, in addition to following the procedures set out in the stock option plan (i.e. the payment of the exercise price), and as a condition of exercise, (a) deliver a certified cheque, wire transfer or bank draft payable to the RI for the amount determined by the Resulting Issuer to be the appropriate amount on account of such taxes or related amounts, or (b) otherwise ensure, in a manner acceptable to the Resulting Issuer (if at all) in its sole and unfettered discretion, that the amount will be securely funded, and must in all other respects follow any related procedures and conditions imposed by the Resulting Issuer.

ESCROWED SECURITIES

Securities Pooled Prior to the Completion of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction

9,275,000 Common Shares to be issued to the Target Company Shareholders (excluding any Target Company Shares that may be issued under the Offering) (the “ RI Pooled Shares ”) will be subject to the seed share resale restrictions under Policy 5.4 Escrow, Vendor Consideration and Resale Restrictions of the Exchange Corporate Finance Manual (“ Policy 5.4 ”) and released as follows:

  • (a) 20% of the RI Pooled Shares will be released at the time of the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction; and

  • (b) 20% of the RI Pooled Shares will be released on each of the 3, 6, 9 and 12 month anniversaries of the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

The certificates evidencing the RI Pooled Shares will bear the legend required under Policy 5.4. While the RI Pooled Shares are subject to the seed share resale restrictions under Policy 5.4, the RI Shareholders will be restricted from assigning, dealing in, pledging, selling, trading or transferring in any manner whatsoever, any of the RI Pooled Shares or any beneficial interest in them, or agreeing to take any such action in the future, except (i) a transfer of RI Pooled Shares from the holder to a registered retirement savings plan the sole beneficiary of which is the RI Shareholder, or (ii) with the Exchange’s written consent. The Transfer Agent must not release the RI Pooled Shares from the seed share resale restrictions while the Resulting Issuer is listed on the Exchange, except (i) in accordance with Exchange policies, or (ii) with the express consent of the Exchange.

Securities Escrowed Prior to the Completion of the Proposed Qualifying Transaction

There are a total of 2,660,000 CPC Escrow Shares (1,330,000 on a post-Consolidation basis) held in escrow with the Trustee, the Corporation’s registrar and transfer agent, under the CPC Escrow Agreement.

In addition, all Common Shares acquired in the secondary market prior to the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction by any person or company who becomes a Control Person are required to be deposited in escrow.

Under the CPC Escrow Agreement, 10% of the CPC Escrow Shares will be released from escrow on the issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin (the “ Initial Release ”) and an additional 15% will be released on the dates that are 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months following the Initial Release. If the Resulting Issuer meets the Exchange’s Tier 1 initial listing requirements either at the time the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued or subsequently, the release of the CPC Escrow Shares will be accelerated over an 18 month period with 25% being releasable at the time of the Final Exchange Bulletin, and 25% being releasable every 6 months thereafter. An accelerated escrow release will not commence

85

until the Resulting Issuer has made application to the Exchange for listing as a Tier 1 issuer and the Exchange has issued a bulletin that announces the acceptance for listing of the Resulting Issuer on Tier 1 of the Exchange. The Exchange’s prior consent must be obtained before a transfer within escrow of CPC Escrow Shares. Generally, the Exchange will only permit a transfer within escrow to be made to incoming Principals in connection with a proposed Qualifying Transaction. If a Final Exchange Bulletin is not issued, the CPC Escrow Shares will not be released.

Under the CPC Escrow Agreement each Non Arm’s Length Party to the Corporation who holds CPC Escrow Shares acquired from treasury at a price below the offering price under the Corporation’s initial prospectus (i.e. $0.10) has irrevocably authorized and directed the Escrow Agent to immediately:

  • (a) cancel all of those CPC Escrow Shares upon the issuance by the Exchange of a bulletin delisting the Common Shares; or

  • (b) if the Corporation lists on the NEX board of the Exchange, either:

  • (i) cancel all Seed Shares (as defined in the Exchange policies) purchased by Non Arm’s Length Parties to the Corporation at a discount from the IPO price, in accordance with section 11.2 (a) of the CPC Policy, or

  • (ii) subject to majority shareholder approval, cancel an amount of Seed Shares purchased by Non Arm’s Length Parties to the CPC so that the average cost of the remaining Seed Shares is at least equal to the IPO price.

Escrowed Securities on the Qualifying Transaction

RI Shares held by persons who will be considered to be Principals of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to the Exchange’s escrow requirements upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

On Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Principals of the Resulting Issuer will hold 7,000,100 RI Shares excluding any Offering Shares issued in connection with the Offering and any CPC Escrow Shares from former directors of the Corporation. These RI Shares will be deposited by the holders into escrow pursuant to the RI Escrow Agreement, which will be either a Value Security Escrow Agreement or a Surplus Security Escrow Agreement, as described below.

Generally, if at least 75% of the RI Shares issued pursuant to the Proposed Qualifying Transaction are “Value Securities”, then all RI Shares issued to Principals of the Resulting Issuer pursuant to the Transaction held by such Principals will be deposited into escrow pursuant to a value security agreement (a “ Value Security Escrow Agreement ”).

Value Securities ” are securities issued pursuant to a transaction, for which the deemed value of the securities at least equals the value ascribed to the asset, using a valuation method acceptable to the Exchange, or securities that are otherwise determined by the Exchange to be Value Securities and required to be placed in escrow under a Value Security Escrow Agreement.

However, if at least 75% of the securities issued pursuant to the Transaction are not Value Securities, all securities issued pursuant to the Transaction will be deposited into a surplus security escrow agreement (a “ Surplus Security Escrow Agreement ”).

The principal distinction between a Value Security Escrow Agreement and a Surplus Security Escrow Agreement is the timing for release of securities from escrow.

86

If the Resulting Issuer will be a Tier 2 issuer when the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued, the Value Security Escrow Agreement provides for a three year escrow release mechanism with 10% of the escrowed securities being releasable at the time of the Final Exchange Bulletin, and 15% of the escrowed securities being releasable every 6 months thereafter, on each of the 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 month anniversaries of the Final Exchange Bulletin.

If the Resulting Issuer will be a Tier 2 issuer, when the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued, the Surplus Security Escrow Agreement provides for a three-year escrow release mechanism with:

  • (a) 5% of the escrowed securities being releasable at the time of the Final Exchange Bulletin and 6 months after the initial release;

  • (b) 10% of the escrowed securities being releasable in 6 month intervals on each of the 12 and 18 month anniversaries of the Final Exchange Bulletin;

  • (c) 15% of the escrowed securities being releasable in 6 month intervals on each of the 24 and 30 month anniversaries of the Final Exchange Bulletin; and

  • (d) 40% of the escrowed securities being releasable on the 36 month anniversary of the Final Exchange Bulletin.

In the case of a Resulting Issuer will be a Tier 1 issuer when the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued, the Value Security Escrow Agreement provides for an 18 month escrow release mechanism with 25% of the escrowed securities being releasable at the time of the Final Exchange Bulletin, and 25% of the escrowed securities being releasable every 6 months thereafter.

If the Resulting Issuer that will be a Tier 1 issuer when the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued, the Surplus Security Escrow Agreement provides for a three-year escrow release mechanism with:

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Tax Act in respect of the Amalgamation to a beneficial owner of Target Company Shares who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, deals at arm’s length with the Target Company, CPC Sub, the Corporation and Amalco. A holder that meets all of the foregoing requirements are referred to as “ Holder ” or “ Holders ” in this summary, and this summary only addresses such Holders.

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the “markto-market” rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution”; (iii) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment”; (iv) that has elected to report its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency; (v) that has entered into, or will enter into, a “derivative forward agreement” or a “synthetic disposition arrangement” with respect to the Target Company Shares or New Common Shares; or (vi) that will receive dividends on New Common Shares under or as part of a “dividend rental arrangement”, as all of those terms are defined in the Tax Act. Any such Holders should consult their own tax advisor .

This summary is based on the provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Regulations ”) in force as of the date hereof and the Corporation’s understanding of the current published administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “ CRA ”). This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act or the Regulations that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “ Proposed Amendments ”) and assumes that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance in this regard can be given. The summary also assumes that Holders participating in the Amalgamation will, for the purposes of the Tax Act, be considered to have received no consideration on the Amalgamation other than New Common Shares. While the Company believes this to be a reasonable assumption, no income tax ruling or legal opinion has been sought or obtained in respect of any of the matters addressed in the summary.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable in respect of the proposed Transaction and, except for the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the law, whether by legislative, regulatory or judicial action, or changes in the published administrative policies of the CRA. This summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular Target Company Shareholder, including a Holder, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any Holder are made.

91

Consequently, all Target Company Shareholders are urged to obtain their own tax advice in respect of the consequences to them of the Amalgamation having regard to their particular circumstances .

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) is, or is deemed to be, resident solely in Canada, (ii) holds Target Company Shares and will hold New Common Shares to be received under the Amalgamation as capital property, and (iii) is not affiliated with the Target Company, CPC Sub, the Corporation or Amalco. A Holder who meets these requirements is referred to in this summary as a “ Resident Holder ”, and the following portion of the summary only addresses such Resident Holders. Target Company Shares and New Common Shares generally will be considered capital property to a Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act, unless the Holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade..

Amalgamation – Exchange of Target Company Shares for New Common Shares

On the Amalgamation, a Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of the Resident Holder’s Target Company Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of the Resident Holder’s Target Company Shares immediately before the Amalgamation. Consequently, such Resident Holder will not realize any capital gain or capital loss as a result of the Amalgamation.

A Resident Holder’s aggregate cost of the New Common Shares acquired will equal the aggregate adjusted cost base of the Target Company Shares exchanged for the New Common Shares. The Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of New Common Shares is subject to the averaging rules under the Tax Act.

Receipt of Dividends on New Common Shares

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the New Common Shares by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will be included in computing the individual’s income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends received from a “taxable Canadian corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act). No comment is provided as to whether dividends paid by the Corporation (if any) will be eligible for the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to dividends that are designated as “eligible dividends” under the Tax Act.

Taxable dividends received or deemed to be received by Resident Holders who are individuals (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for the alternative minimum tax as calculated under the detailed rules set out in the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

A Resident Holder that is a corporation will include dividends received or deemed to be received on New Common Shares in computing its income and generally will be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing the corporation’s income, subject to the limitations under the Tax Act. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.

Certain Resident Holders that are corporations, including a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable

92

tax on dividends received or deemed to be received on the New Common Shares to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income.

Disposition of New Common Shares acquired on the Amalgamation

A Resident Holder who disposes of or is deemed to dispose of a New Common Share will realize a capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition in respect of such share exceeds or is exceeded by the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of such share and any reasonable costs of the disposition. See “ Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses ” below for a general description of the tax treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a “ taxable capital gain ”) realized by a Resident Holder must be included in income in the taxation year in which it is realized. One-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “ allowable capital loss ”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted from any taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and in the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss arising on the disposition or deemed disposition of any New Common Shares by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of certain dividends received or deemed to have been received by it on such shares (or on a share for which such New Common Share has been substituted) to the extent and under circumstances specified in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where the corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns such shares, directly or indirectly, through a partnership or a trust. Affected Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Taxable capital gains realized by a Resident Holder who is an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for the alternative minimum tax as calculated under the detailed rules set out in the Tax Act. A Resident Holder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on certain investment income, including taxable capital gains.

Holders not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, and at all relevant times, (i) is not resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) will not use or hold, and is not and will not be deemed to use or hold, the Target Company Shares or the New Common Shares in, or in the course of carrying on, a business in Canada. A Holder who meets all of the foregoing requirements is referred to as a “ Non-Resident Holder ” in this summary, and this portion of the summary only addresses such Non-Resident Holders. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Taxable Canadian Property – Target Company Shares

In general, Target Company Shares will constitute “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time if, at any time during the 60 month period that ends at that time, more than 50% of the fair market value of the Target Company Shares was derived directly or indirectly (otherwise than through a corporation, partnership or trust the shares or interests in which were not themselves taxable Canadian property at the particular time) from one or any combination of (i) real or immovable property situated in

93

Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act) or “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), or (iii) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any of the foregoing, whether or not the property exists. Target Company Shares may also be deemed to constitute “taxable Canadian property” in certain other circumstances under the Tax Act. The status of the Target Company Shares as “taxable Canadian property” is relevant to the further discussion below.

Amalgamation – Exchange of the Target Company Shares for New Common Shares

The exchange of Target Company Shares for New Common Shares on the Amalgamation should not give rise to a capital gain or capital loss to Non-Resident Holders for purposes of the Tax Act. However, NonResident Holders who hold Target Company Shares as “taxable Canadian property” will generally be required to file a Canadian income tax return reporting the transaction. Certain additional notice requirements normally required under the Tax Act in respect of dispositions of “taxable Canadian property” should not be applicable, based on our understanding of the published administrative policy of the CRA.

A Non-Resident Holder’s aggregate cost of the New Common Shares acquired on the Amalgamation will equal the aggregate adjusted cost base of the Target Company Shares that are exchanged for the New Common Shares. The Non-Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of New Common Shares is subject to the averaging rules under the Tax Act.

Receipt of Dividends on New Common Shares

A dividend paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) on New Common Shares to a Non-Resident Holder is subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder’s country of residence. For example, under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) , as amended (the “ Canada-US Treaty ”), the withholding rate on any such dividend beneficially owned by a Non-Resident Holder that is a resident of the United States for the purposes of the Canada-US Treaty and entitled to the full benefits of such treaty is generally reduced to 15% (or to 5% for a company that holds at least 10% of the voting stock of the corporation paying the dividend).

Disposition of New Common Shares acquired on the Amalgamation

A Non-Resident Holder will generally not be liable for tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of New Common Shares unless such New Common Shares are, or are deemed to be, “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. Where a Non-Resident Holder does so dispose of New Common Shares held as “taxable Canadian property” and relief under an applicable tax convention is not available, any capital gain realized on the disposition will generally be subject to similar Canadian federal income tax considerations as are discussed above with respect to Resident Holders. A Non-Resident Holder who disposes of taxable Canadian property is required to file a Canadian income tax return for the year of disposition, including where any resulting capital gain is not subject to tax under the Tax Act by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Generally, New Common Shares will not be “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-Resident Holder at any particular time unless:

  • a. the Target Company Shares were held as “taxable Canadian property” (in which event the New Common Shares will be deemed to be held as “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act throughout the 60 months following the Effective Date), or the New Common

94

Shares are otherwise deemed to be held as “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or

  • b. on the assumption that the New Common Shares are then listed on a “designated stock exchange” for purposes of the Tax Act, at any time during the 60 month period ending at the particular time, (i) one or any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (i)(b) holds a membership interest (directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships), owns 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Corporation, and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the New Common Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act) or “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), or options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any of the foregoing, whether or not the property exists.

Non-Resident Holders who may hold New Common Shares as “taxable Canadian property” should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the Tax Act and related compliance rules.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF REBEL CAPITAL INC.

REBEL CAPITAL INC.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT

The accompanying financial statements and related financial information are the responsibility of management, and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. They include certain amounts that are based on estimates and judgments relating to matters not concluded by year‐end. Financial information presented elsewhere in this document is consistent with that contained in the financial statements.

In management’s opinion, the financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies adopted by management. If alternate accounting methods exist, management has chosen those policies it deems the most appropriate in the circumstances. Management has established systems of accounting and internal control that provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, and produce reliable accounting records for the preparation of financial information. Policies and procedures are maintained to support the accounting and internal control systems.

The independent external auditors, KPMG LLP, have conducted an examination of the financial statements on behalf of shareholders. The auditors have unrestricted access to the Corporation and the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors, currently composed of three directors, carries out its responsibility for the financial statements principally through its Audit Committee, consisting of two members. This Committee reviews the financial statements with management and the auditors, as well as recommends to the Board of Directors the external auditors to be appointed by the shareholders at each annual meeting. The Audit Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve interim financial statements prior to their release and recommend their approval to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee has approved the financial statements and information as presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Rebel Capital Inc. (the “Entity”), which comprise:

  • the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017

  • the statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years then ended

  • the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended

  • the statements of cash flows for the years then ended

  • and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

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 “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report.

We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other 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.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is

KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP.

==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

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, 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 Entity’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 Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the 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.

2

==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 Entity’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 Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity 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.

  • 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.

  • Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this auditors’ report is Gregory Ronald Caldwell.

1. INCORPORATION

Rebel Capital Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on September 16, 2016. The Corporation completed in October 2017 its Initial Public Offering (the “Offering”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”) as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The principal business of the Corporation is to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an interest therein by completing a purchase transaction, by exercising an option or by any concomitant transaction. The purpose of such an acquisition is to satisfy the related conditions of a Qualifying Transaction under the Exchange rules. The Corporation is required to complete a Qualifying Transaction on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019. The address of the registered office is 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC.

Where an acquisition or participation is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Corporation to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Corporation to obtain additional financing.

There is no assurance that the Corporation will identify a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange, at which time the Exchange may suspend or de‐list the Corporation’s shares from trading.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2019.

Basis of measurement

These financial statements are stated in Canadian dollars and were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost methodology.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future periods could require a material change in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Given the early stage of the Corporation there were no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of these financial statements.

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Financial instruments

Effective January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and the following accounting policy was in place: Financial instruments are recognized when the Corporation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are not offset unless the Corporation has the current legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or settle the asset and liability simultaneously.

The Corporation characterizes its fair value measurements into a three‐level hierarchy depending on the degree to which the inputs are observable, as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

The initial classification of a financial asset depends upon the Corporation’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. There are three measurement categories into which the Corporation classified its financial assets:

  • Amortized Cost: Includes assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest;

  • Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVOCI"): Includes assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, where its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest; or

  • Fair Value Through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL"): Includes assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes all derivative financial instruments.

On initial recognition, the Corporation may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the amortized cost or FVOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held‐for‐trading, the Corporation may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value changes to earnings following the derecognition of the investment. However, dividends that reflect a return on investment continue to be recognized in net earnings. This election is made on an investment‐by‐investment basis.

At initial recognition, the Corporation measures a financial asset at its fair value and, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, including transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are recorded as an expense in net earnings. Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition only if the business model for managing those financial assets changes. The affected financial assets will be reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred and the Corporation has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Corporation recognizes loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses ("ECLs") on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Due to the nature of its financial assets, the Corporation measures loss allowances at an amount equal to expected lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the anticipated ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. ECLs are a probability‐weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Corporation expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the related financial asset. The Corporation does not have any financial assets that contain a financing component.

Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities

A financial liability is initially classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is held‐for‐trading, a derivative, or designated as FVTPL on initial recognition. The classification of a financial liability is irrevocable.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in fair value, along with any interest expense, recognized in net earnings. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in net earnings. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in net earnings.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same counterparty with substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, it is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. When the terms of an existing financial liability are altered, but the changes are considered non‐ substantial, it is accounted for as a modification to the existing financial liability. Where a liability is substantially modified it is considered to be extinguished and a gain or loss is recognized in net earnings based on the difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the fair value of the revised liability. Where a liability is modified in a non‐substantial way, the amortized cost of the liability is remeasured based on the new cash flows and a gain or loss is recorded in net earnings.

Prior to the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018 the following accounting policy was in place: The Corporation initially measures financial instruments at estimated fair value. The Corporation’s loans and receivables, comprised of cash and accounts receivables, are included in current assets due to their short‐term nature. Financial liabilities are categorized as “other financial liabilities” consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in finance income in the consolidated statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss as a finance cost.

The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents, short‐term investments, and accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and at hand and short‐term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are financial liabilities that are not quoted in an active market and with no intention of being traded. They are included in current liabilities, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date, which are classified as non‐current liabilities. Accounts payable are initially recognized at the amount required to be paid less any discount or rebates to reduce the payables to estimated fair value. Accounts payable are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For accounts payable that have maturity dates of less than one year, the Corporation estimates their carrying value approximates their fair value due to their short‐term nature.

Deferred financing costs

Financing costs related to the Corporation's proposed financing are recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs will be deferred until the financing is completed, at which time the costs will be charged against the proceeds received. If the financing does not close, the costs will be charged to operations.

Share capital

Proceeds from the issuance of common shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Share based payments

The Corporation follows the fair‐value method for valuing stock options and other dilutive instruments granted to employees and directors. Under this method, the compensation cost is measured at the grant date using the Black‐ Scholes option pricing model and expensed over the vesting period of the instrument granted as stock‐based compensation expense with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The contributed surplus balance is reduced as stock options and other dilutive instruments are exercised with the amount previously recognized plus any consideration received credited to share capital. The Corporation has included an estimated forfeiture rate for stock options that will not vest, which is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures upon final vesting of the award.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date in order to determine whether objective evidence exists that the assets are impaired as a result of one or more events which have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset has become impaired, the amount of the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows from the asset discounted at its original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recorded in earnings. If the amount of the impairment loss decreases in a subsequent period and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed up to the original carrying value of the asset. Any reversal is recognized in earnings.

Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to owners of the Corporation (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The denominator (number of units) is calculated by adjusting the shares in issue at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back or issued during the period, multiplied by a time‐weighting factor.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. The effects of anti‐dilutive potential units are ignored in calculating diluted EPS. All options are considered anti‐ dilutive when the Corporation is in a loss position.

4. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTIONS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 or later periods.

New standards adopted on January 1, 2018

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which includes a principle‐based approach for classification and measurement of financial assets and a forward‐looking ‘expected credit loss’ model. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"); or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. The classification and measurement of financial instruments under IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Impairment of financial assets under IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with an "expected credit loss" model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39. The application of the expected credit loss model to financial assets classified as amortized cost did not result in a material adjustment on transition.

IFRS 9 was applied retrospectively in accordance with transition requirements with no impact to opening retained earnings or comparative periods. Cash continues to be measured at amortized cost and is now classified as

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

"amortized cost". The Corporation’s financial liabilities previously classified as “other financial liabilities” being trade and other payables and accrued liabilities continue to be measured at amortized cost and are now classified as “amortized cost”. The Corporation has not designated any financial instruments as FVOCI or FVTPL, nor does the Corporation use hedge accounting.

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Corporation adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” effective January 1, 2018, which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much, and when revenue from contracts with customers is recognized. The Corporation adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. Under this transitional provision, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 is recognized on the date of initial application as an adjustment to retained earnings. Given that the Corporation has no revenue‐generating operations to date, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption of IFRS 15.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

IFRS 16: Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Corporation will be required to adopt IFRS 16 “Leases” to replace the existing guidance of IAS 17 “Leases”. The standard establishes principles and disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The Corporation does not expect any material impact from the adoption of this standard.

5. SHARE CAPITAL

a) Authorized

The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares to be issued.

b) Issued

b) Issued
Common shares Amount
Balance, January 1, 2017 2,000,000 $ 100,000

Initial public offering 2,000,000 200,000
Share issue costs (76,108)
Balance, December 31, 2017 and 2018 4,660,000 $ 256,892

In July 2017, the Corporation issued 660,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per common share for total consideration of $33,000 pursuant to a non‐brokered private placement. All 660,000 common shares were acquired by directors and officers of the Corporation.

In October 2017, the Corporation completed the Offering and issued 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share for total consideration of $200,000. Pursuant to an agency agreement dated August 11, 2017 (the "Agency Agreement") between the Corporation and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the "Agent"), the Agent received a cash commission of $20,000, a corporate finance fee of $10,000 and an amount equal to the Agent's reasonable expenses of $8,549. Effective November 3, 2017, the date that the common shares were listed for trading on the Exchange, the Corporation issued to the Agent options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10, exercisable until November 3, 2019 (the "Agent's Option"). The Corporation incurred total share issue costs of $76,108, consisting of cash transaction costs of $65,565 directly related to the Offering and $10,543 for share‐ based payments related to the Agent’s Options (note 6b).

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

c) Escrowed shares

Pursuant to an escrow agreement dated August 29, 2017 (the “Escrow Agreement”) between the Corporation and certain shareholders of the Corporation, 2,660,000 common shares (the “Escrowed Shares”), being all of the issued and outstanding common shares prior to the completion of the Offering, were deposited in escrow. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Shares shall be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a Qualifying Transaction by the TSX‐V and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These Escrowed Shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt without the consent of the regulatory authorities. The Escrow Agreement provides that holders of escrowed common shares shall not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, enter into a derivative transaction concerning or otherwise deal in any way with their escrowed shares.

d) Loss per share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With the completion of the Offering, Escrowed Shares will be subject to the Escrow Agreement and may be cancelled in the event that the Corporation is unable to complete a Qualifying Transaction within the required time limits. Accordingly, these shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted loss per share were 334,247 and 2,000,000 common shares, respectively. For purposes of the loss per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there is no difference between the basic loss per share and the diluted loss per share amounts as all instruments are anti‐dilutive.

6. SHARE‐BASED PAYMENTS

a) Stock options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, pursuant to which the board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, and employees of and consultants to the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant. However, for so long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of common shares issuable upon exercise of all options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the Offering. Options granted under the option plan may be exercisable for periods of up to 10 years from the date of grant. For so long as the Corporation is a CPC, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% and to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the Offering. Options granted to the directors and officers of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of 12 months after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and 90 days following cessation of the optionee’s position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the option may be exercised within a maximum period of one year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option. Any common shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement, as described previously.

On April 10, 2017, the Corporation granted options to its directors and officers entitling the purchase of 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share. The options are for a five year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, and vest one‐third on April 10, 2017, one‐third on the first anniversary date and one‐third on the second anniversary date from the date of grant. As at December 31, 2018 there are 200,000 options outstanding of which 133,333 have vested and are exercisable with a remaining life of 3.3 years.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

Options granted were allocated an estimated fair value using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected forfeiture rate 0%
Risk‐free interest rate 0.92%
Expected dividend yield 0%
Expected stock price volatility 100%
Expected option life 5 years
Fair value of optionsgranted $0.074

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation recognized $3,832 (2017 ‐ $10,342) of share‐based payments that were recorded as contributed surplus.

b) Agent’s Options

The fair value of the Agent’s Options is estimated using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected forfeiture rate 0%
Risk‐free interest rate 1.39%
Expected dividend yield 0%
Expected stock price volatility 100%
Expected option life 2 years
Fair value of Agent's Optionsgranted $0.052

The share‐based payment amount of $10,543 for Agent’s Options was included within share issue costs in association with the Offering finalized in October 2017, with the offset being included as contributed surplus.

7. INCOME TAXES

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the Canadian combined federal and provincial corporate income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. A reconciliation of the expected income tax recovery to the actual income tax recovery for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

2018 2017
Net loss before income tax $ 74,762 $ 55,956
Statutory tax rate 27% 26%
Expected income tax recovery at the statutory tax rate 20,186 14,549
Stock‐based compensation (1,035) (2,689)
Increase in statutory tax rate 587
Deferred tax assets not recognized (19,151) (12,447)
Income tax recovery $ $

The Corporation has deductible temporary differences of $185,222 for which a deferred tax asset has not been recognized as it is not considered more likely than not as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 ‐ $114,292) that the benefits will be realized. This balance includes $145,933 of non‐capital losses expiring between 2036 and 2038.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key Management Compensation

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Corporation, directly or indirectly. Key management personnel include the Corporation’s executive officers and directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, 200,000 stock options were granted to directors and officers. A fair value of $3,832 and $10,342 were recorded as share‐based compensation in December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Other than disclosed above, there was no other compensation paid to key management during the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

9. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Corporation’s capital consists of share capital. The Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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 proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or business for future investment, with the exception that the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds (being $99,900) and $210,000 may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until the completion of the Qualifying Transaction by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair value

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. Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐ financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation’s fair value measurements are classified as one of the following levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active market for identical assets or liabilities.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

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 fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short‐term maturities of these items.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable represent the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $194,719 at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 ‐ $225,990). The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash and cash equivalents by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings. The accounts receivable balance of $2,619 existing as of December 31, 2017 consisted entirely of Goods & Services Tax receivable, which was reimbursed by the Government of Canada subsequent to applicable filings and assessment.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $46,941 as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 ‐ $9,901) that are considered payable within the next year.

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

11. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

Certain categories of expenses have been reclassified in the comparative period in order to provide improved disclosure and to conform to current period presentation within the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. $45,614 of general and administrative expenses have been reclassified to $17,992 of professional fees, $26,597 of transfer agent and filing fees, $821 of bank fees, and $204 of administrative expenses.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT

The accompanying financial statements and related financial information are the responsibility of management, and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. They include certain amounts that are based on estimates and judgments relating to matters not concluded by year‐end. Financial information presented elsewhere in this document is consistent with that contained in the financial statements.

In management’s opinion, the financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies adopted by management. If alternate accounting methods exist, management has chosen those policies it deems the most appropriate in the circumstances. Management has established systems of accounting and internal control that provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, and produce reliable accounting records for the preparation of financial information. Policies and procedures are maintained to support the accounting and internal control systems.

The independent external auditors, KPMG LLP, have conducted an examination of the financial statements on behalf of shareholders. The auditors have unrestricted access to the Corporation and the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors, currently composed of three directors, carries out its responsibility for the financial statements principally through its Audit Committee, consisting of two members. This Committee reviews the financial statements with management and the auditors, as well as recommends to the Board of Directors the external auditors to be appointed by the shareholders at each annual meeting. The Audit Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve interim financial statements prior to their release and recommend their approval to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee has approved the financial statements and information as presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Rebel Capital Inc. (the “Entity”), which comprise:

  • the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

  • the statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years then ended

  • the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended

  • the statements of cash flows for the years then ended

  • and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

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 “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report.

We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other 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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Entity incurred a net loss and used cash in operating activities, and has no assets capable of generating cash flows to fund future operations.

As stated in Note 2 in the financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 in the financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP.

==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

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, 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 Entity’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 Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial

reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the 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.

2

==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

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 Entity’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 Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity 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.

  • 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.

  • Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this auditors’ report is Gregory Ronald Caldwell.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

1. INCORPORATION

Rebel Capital Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on September 16, 2016. The Corporation completed in October 2017 its Initial Public Offering (the “Offering”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”) as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The principal business of the Corporation is to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an interest therein by completing a purchase transaction, by exercising an option or by any concomitant transaction. The purpose of such an acquisition is to satisfy the related conditions of a Qualifying Transaction under the Exchange rules. The Corporation was required to complete a Qualifying Transaction on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019, which did not occur. The address of the registered office is 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC.

Where an acquisition or participation is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Corporation to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Corporation to obtain additional financing.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Corporation has not completed a Qualifying Transaction within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange. On November 5, 2019, the Exchange formally advised that trading in the shares of the Corporation would be suspended which occurred on November 7, 2019 and remains in effect until further notice. The Corporation has identified and is currently working through the process of completing a Qualifying Transaction by way of a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Inc. (see Note 12). There is no certainty that this potential Qualifying Transaction will be completed or accepted by the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of these financial statements, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the restrictions mentioned in Note 10, which may cause the Exchange to deny the Qualifying Transaction.

2. GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Corporation will be able to discharge its obligations and realize its assets in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation incurred a loss from operations of $31,725 and used $53,160 of cash flows in its operating activities, and has no assets capable of generating cash flows to fund future operations. As at December 31, 2019, the Corporation has working capital of $116,731.

As the Corporation has no assets capable of generating net positive cash flow, it will continue for the foreseeable future to rely upon its remaining financial resources to fund ongoing costs and to complete a potential Qualifying Transaction. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that the Corporation will be successful in raising the capital required to successfully complete a Qualifying Transaction and finance future operations.

Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these financial statements and that the Corporation will be able to meet its obligations as they come due. However, there is no certainty as to the timing and likelihood of realizing a Qualifying Transaction that may provide additional financial resources to the Corporation. Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate and the Corporation is not able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations, these financial statements would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities. These adjustments could be material.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2020.

Basis of measurement

These financial statements are stated in Canadian dollars and were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost methodology.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future periods could require a material change in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Given the early stage of the Corporation there were no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of these financial statements.

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Financial instruments

Non‐derivative financial instruments consist primarily of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Non‐ derivative financial instruments are recognized when the Corporation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non‐derivative financial instruments are classified at amortized cost and are measured using the effective interest method. Financial assets and liabilities are not offset unless the Corporation has the current legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or settle the asset and liability simultaneously.

Cash consists of cash on hand, deposits and term deposits held with banks or other financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Corporation recognizes loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses ("ECLs") on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Due to the nature of its financial assets, the Corporation measures loss allowances at an amount equal to expected lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the anticipated ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. ECLs are a probability‐weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Corporation expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the related financial asset. The Corporation does not have any financial assets that contain a financing component.

Deferred financing costs

Financing costs related to the Corporation's proposed financing are recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs will be deferred until the financing is completed, at which time the costs will be charged against the proceeds received. If the financing does not close, the costs will be charged to operations.

Share capital

Proceeds from the issuance of common shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Share‐based payments

The Corporation follows the fair‐value method for valuing stock options and other dilutive instruments granted to employees and directors. Under this method, the compensation cost is measured at the grant date using the Black‐ Scholes option pricing model and expensed over the vesting period of the instrument granted as stock‐based compensation expense with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The contributed surplus balance is reduced as stock options and other dilutive instruments are exercised with the amount previously recognized plus any consideration received credited to share capital. The Corporation has included an estimated forfeiture rate for stock options that will not vest, which is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures upon final vesting of the award.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to owners of the Corporation (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The denominator

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(number of units) is calculated by adjusting the shares in issue at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back or issued during the period, multiplied by a time‐weighting factor.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of dilutive options and other dilutive potential units. The effects of anti‐dilutive potential units are ignored in calculating diluted EPS. All options are considered anti‐ dilutive when the Corporation is in a loss position.

5. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTIONS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

IFRS 16: Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted IFRS 16 “Leases” to replace the existing guidance of IAS 17 “Leases”. The standard establishes principles and disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Given that the Corporation has no leases, no adjustments were required from the adoption of this standard.

6. SHARE CAPITAL

a) Authorized

The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares to be issued.

b) Issued

As of December 31, 2019, the Corporation had 4,660,000 common shares (December 31, 2018 ‐ 4,660,000) issued and outstanding with a share capital balance of $256,892 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $256,892). The common shares consist of 2,660,000 common shares issued to Directors and Officers of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per share ($133,000) and 2,000,000 common shares issued pursuant to an initial public offering at a price of $0.10 per share ($200,000). Share issue costs of $76,108 are included in share capital.

c) Escrowed shares

Pursuant to an escrow agreement dated August 29, 2017 (the “Escrow Agreement”) between the Corporation and certain shareholders of the Corporation, 2,660,000 common shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) were deposited in escrow. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Shares shall be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a Qualifying Transaction by the Exchange and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These Escrowed Shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt without the consent of the regulatory authorities. The Escrow Agreement provides that holders of escrowed common shares shall not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, enter into a derivative transaction concerning or otherwise deal in any way with their escrowed shares.

d) Loss per share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Escrowed Shares will be subject to the Escrow Agreement and may be cancelled in the event that the Corporation is unable to complete a Qualifying Transaction within the required time limits. Accordingly, these shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted loss per share is 2,000,000 common shares (2,000,000 ‐ December 31, 2018). For purposes of the loss per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there is no difference between the basic loss per share and the diluted loss per share amounts as all instruments are anti‐dilutive.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

7. SHARE‐BASED PAYMENTS

a) Stock options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, pursuant to which the board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, and employees of and consultants to the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant. However, for so long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of common shares issuable upon exercise of all options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the initial public offering. Options granted under the option plan may be exercisable for periods of up to 10 years from the date of grant. For so long as the Corporation is a CPC, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% and to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the initial public offering. Options granted to the directors and officers of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of 12 months after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and 90 days following cessation of the optionee’s position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the option may be exercised within a maximum period of one year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option. Any common shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement, as described previously.

On April 10, 2017, the Corporation granted options to its directors and officers entitling the purchase of 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share. The options are for a five year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, and vest one‐third on April 10, 2017, one‐third on the first anniversary date and one‐third on the second anniversary date from the date of grant. As at December 31, 2019 there are 200,000 options outstanding and exercisable with a remaining life of 2.3 years.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation recognized $678 (2018 ‐ $3,832) of share‐based payments that were recorded as contributed surplus.

b) Agent Options

The Corporation issued the Agent Options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10 as part of the initial public equity offering. The Agent Options were exercisable for a period of two years and expired on November 3, 2019.

The share‐based payment amount of $10,543 for Agent’s Options was included within share issue costs with the offset being included as contributed surplus.

8. INCOME TAXES

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the Canadian combined federal and provincial corporate income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. A reconciliation of the expected income tax recovery to the actual income tax recovery for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

REBEL CAPITAL INC.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Corporation has deductible temporary differences of $216,269 for which a deferred tax asset has not been recognized as it is not considered more likely than not as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $185,222) that the benefits will be realized. This balance includes $190,093 of non‐capital losses expiring between 2036 and 2039.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key Management Compensation

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Corporation, directly or indirectly. Key management personnel include the Corporation’s executive officers and directors.

Other than stock options disclosed above, there was no other compensation paid to key management during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

10. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Corporation’s capital consists of share capital. The Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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 proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or business for future investment, with the exception that the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds (being $99,900) and $210,000 may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until the completion of the Qualifying Transaction by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

Expenditures as presented herein exceed the scope of the allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the Qualifying Transaction application to be submitted in connection with the definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (see Note 12), the Corporation will submit a waiver application to the Exchange in regard to this matter of non‐compliance. The Exchange will review the details of this waiver application in conjunction with its overall consideration of the Qualifying Transaction application. At their discretion, the Exchange may determine that the waiver application is denied and, consequentially, may deny the entire Qualifying Transaction submission.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair value

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. Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐ financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation’s fair value measurements are classified as one of the following levels of the fair value hierarchy:

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 fair value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short‐ term maturities of these items.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash. The carrying amount of cash represents the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $141,559 at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $194,719). The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $24,828 as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $46,941) that are considered payable within the next year.

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Proposed Qualifying Transaction

On January 28, 2020, the Corporation entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (“Electric Royalties”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

shares in the capital of Electric Royalties (the “Transaction”). On April 22, 2020, certain terms of the definitive agreement were amended. The completion of the Transaction is subject to the following:

  • 1) The approval of the Corporation’s shareholders of a 2:1 consolidation of the Corporation’s common shares.

  • 2) The completion of a private placement by the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties of a minimum of 20,000,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a combined minimum of $3,500,000. Upon completion of the Transaction, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share. In the event that the Transaction is not completed, the subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers. If the Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

  • 3) The approval of the Exchange of the Corporations submission of this transaction as a Qualifying Transaction.

As described in Note 1, the Corporation has not completed a Qualifying Transaction within the time limitations specified under the policies of the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of these financial statements, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions (see Note 10). As part of the submission process to the Exchange for approval of the Transaction as a “Qualifying Transaction” under the Exchange rules, each of the facts and circumstances of the Corporation as previously described herein will be taken into consideration by the Exchange in the context of the overall decision to either approve or deny the Corporation’s submission. In the event that the Exchange denies the Corporation’s Qualifying Transaction submission, the Corporation’s shares may be de‐listed from the Exchange. Under this scenario, the shareholders may apply for listing on NEX stock exchange (“NEX”) rather than be de‐listed upon obtaining majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares). In order to be eligible to list on NEX, the Corporation must either 1) cancel all the Escrowed Shares or 2) subject to majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares), cancel an amount of the Escrowed Shares so that the average cost of the remaining Escrowed Shares is at least equal to the initial purchase offer price. This would equate to the cancellation of 1,330,000 (50%) of the Escrowed Shares. If the option of applying for listing on the NEX is not pursued, then within 90 days of the de‐listing the Corporation will be required under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange to wind‐up and liquidate its assets, and distribute its remaining assets on a pro rata basis to its shareholders.

As of the date of these financial statements, trading in the shares of the Corporation on the Exchange remains suspended until further notice by the Exchange.

COVID‐19 Pandemic

Subsequent to year‐end, there was a global outbreak of COVID‐19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID‐19 outbreak may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, we anticipate this outbreak may, in general, cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Corporation’s business and financial condition.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

1. INCORPORATION

Rebel Capital Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on September 16, 2016. The Corporation completed in October 2017 its Initial Public Offering (the “Offering”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) as a Capital Pool Corporation (“CPC”) as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The principal business of the Corporation is to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an interest therein by completing a purchase transaction, by exercising an option or by any concomitant transaction. The purpose of such an acquisition is to satisfy the related conditions of a Qualifying Transaction under the Exchange rules. The Corporation was required to complete a Qualifying Transaction on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019, which did not occur. The address of the registered office is 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC.

Where an acquisition or participation is being considered, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Corporation to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Corporation to obtain additional financing.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Corporation has not completed a Qualifying Transaction within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange. On November 5, 2019, the Exchange formally advised that trading in the shares of the Corporation would be suspended which occurred on November 7, 2019 and remains in effect until further notice. The Corporation has identified and is currently working through the process of completing a Qualifying Transaction by way of a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Inc. (see Note 4). There is no certainty that this potential Qualifying Transaction will be completed or accepted by the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the restrictions mentioned in Note 8, which may cause the Exchange to deny the Qualifying Transaction.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1238383 BC Ltd., incorporated on January 24, 2020 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. All inter‐company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2. GOING CONCERN

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Corporation will be able to discharge its obligations and realize its assets in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation incurred a loss from operations of $33,247 and used $3,353 of cash flows in its operating activities, and has no assets capable of generating cash flows to fund future operations. As at March 31, 2020, the Corporation has working capital of $83,484.

As the Corporation has no assets capable of generating net positive cash flow, it will continue for the foreseeable future to rely upon its remaining financial resources to fund ongoing costs and to complete a potential Qualifying Transaction. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that the Corporation will be successful in identifying and raising the capital required to successfully complete a Qualifying Transaction and finance future operations.

Further, in March 2020, the global outbreak of COVID‐19 (coronavirus) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Governments worldwide, including those in Canada, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self‐imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic downturn. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

to stabilize economic conditions; however, the success of these interventions is not currently determinable. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID‐19 outbreak may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain but could impact the Corporation's operations, cash flows and financial condition or the timing for the completion of a Qualifying Transaction.

Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for these interim condensed consolidated financial statements and that the Corporation will be able to meet its obligations as they come due. However, there is no certainty as to the timing and likelihood of realizing a Qualifying Transaction that may provide additional financial resources to the Corporation. Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate and the Corporation is not able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities. These adjustments could be material.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and method of computation as the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Audited Financial Statements”), with the exception of certain disclosures that are normally required to be included in audited financial statements which have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Audited Financial Statements.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 29, 2020.

Basis of measurement

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost methodology and are stated in Canadian dollars.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future periods could require a material change in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Given the early stage of the Corporation there have been no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

4. PROPOSED QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

On January 28, 2020, the Corporation entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (“Electric Royalties”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Electric Royalties (the “Transaction”). On April 22, 2020, certain terms of the definitive agreement were amended (see Note 10). The completion of the Transaction is subject to the following:

  • 1) The approval of the Corporation’s shareholders of a 2:1 consolidation of the Corporation’s common shares.

  • 2) The completion of a private placement by the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties of a minimum of 20,000,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a combined minimum of $3,500,000 (as amended). Upon completion of the Transaction, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share. In the event that the Transaction is not completed, the subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers (see note 5). If the Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

  • 3) The approval of the Exchange of the Corporation’s submission of this transaction as a Qualifying Transaction.

As described in Note 1, the Corporation has not completed a Qualifying Transaction within the time limitations specified under the policies of the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of these financial statements, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions (see Note 8). As part of the submission process to the Exchange for approval of the Transaction as a “Qualifying Transaction” under the Exchange rules, each of the facts and circumstances of the Corporation as described herein will be taken into consideration by the Exchange in the context of the overall decision to either approve or deny the Corporation’s submission. In the event that the Exchange denies the Corporation’s Qualifying Transaction submission, the Corporation’s shares may be de‐listed from the Exchange. Under this scenario, the shareholders may apply for listing on NEX stock exchange (“NEX”) rather than be de‐listed upon obtaining majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares as described in Note 6). In order to be eligible to list on NEX, the Corporation must either 1) cancel all the Escrowed Shares or 2) subject to majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares), cancel an amount of the Escrowed Shares so that the average cost of the remaining Escrowed Shares is at least equal to the initial purchase offer price. This would equate to the cancellation of 1,330,000 (50%) of the Escrowed Shares. If the option of applying for listing on the NEX is not pursued, then within 90 days of the de‐listing the Corporation will be required under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange to wind‐up and liquidate its assets, and distribute its remaining assets on a pro rata basis to its shareholders.

As of the date of these financial statements, trading in the shares of the Corporation on the Exchange remains suspended until further notice by the Exchange.

5. SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS & RESTRICTED CASH

Subscriptions payable

As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation has received $162,466 for subscription receipts pursuant to the private placement at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt as part of the Transaction outlined in Note 4. As mentioned above, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share of the Corporation upon completion of the Transaction. The subscription agreement for the subscription receipts specifies that the closing of the underlying subscriptions is conditional upon the closing of the Transaction. In the event the

REBEL CAPITAL INC.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

Transaction is not completed, the subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers and as a result, the proceeds received for $162,466 have been recorded as a subscriptions payable on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Restricted cash

As of March 31, 2020, the $162,466 received for subscription receipts was held in trust in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreement. This cash balance is presented as restricted on the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position given management does not have authority to access these underlying balances held in trust until such time that the Transaction closes.

6. SHARE CAPITAL

a) Authorized

The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares to be issued.

b) Issued

As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation had 4,660,000 common shares (December 31, 2019 ‐ 4,660,000) issued and outstanding with a share capital balance of $256,892 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $256,892). The common shares consist of 2,660,000 common shares issued to Directors and Officers of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per share ($133,000) and 2,000,000 common shares issued pursuant to an initial public offering at a price of $0.10 per share ($200,000). Share issue costs of $76,108 are included in share capital.

c) Escrowed shares

Pursuant to an escrow agreement dated August 29, 2017 (the “Escrow Agreement”) between the Corporation and certain shareholders of the Corporation, 2,660,000 common shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) were deposited in escrow. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Shares shall be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a Qualifying Transaction by the Exchange and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These Escrowed Shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt without the consent of the regulatory authorities. The Escrow Agreement provides that holders of escrowed common shares shall not sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, enter into a derivative transaction concerning or otherwise deal in any way with their escrowed shares.

d) Loss per share

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Escrowed Shares will be subject to the Escrow Agreement and may be cancelled in the event that the Corporation is unable to complete a Qualifying Transaction within the required time limits. Accordingly, these shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted loss per share is 2,000,000 common shares (2,000,000 – March 31, 2019). For purposes of the loss per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there is no difference between the basic loss per share and the diluted loss per share amounts as all instruments are anti‐dilutive.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

7. SHARE‐BASED PAYMENTS

a) Stock options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, pursuant to which the board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, and employees of and consultants to the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant. However, for so long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of common shares issuable upon exercise of all options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the initial public offering. Options granted under the option plan may be exercisable for periods of up to 10 years from the date of grant. For so long as the Corporation is a CPC, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% and to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the initial public offering. Options granted to the directors and officers of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of 12 months after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and 90 days following cessation of the optionee’s position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the option may be exercised within a maximum period of one year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option. Any common shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement, as described previously.

On April 10, 2017, the Corporation granted options to its directors and officers entitling the purchase of 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share. The options are for a five year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, and vest one‐third on April 10, 2017, one‐third on the first anniversary date and one‐third on the second anniversary date from the date of grant. As at March 31, 2020 there are 200,000 options outstanding and exercisable with a remaining life of 2.0 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation recognized $nil (2019 ‐ $610) of share‐based payments.

b) Agent Options

The Corporation issued the Agent Options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10 as part of the initial public equity offering. The Agent Options were exercisable for a period of two years and expired on November 3, 2019.

The share‐based payment amount of $10,543 for Agent’s Options was included within share issue costs with the offset being included as contributed surplus.

8. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Corporation’s capital consists of share capital. The Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are:

  • i. to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk; and

REBEL CAPITAL INC.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

  • ii. to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence in order to sustain the future development of the business.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or business for future investment, with the exception that the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds (being $99,900) and $210,000 may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until the completion of the Qualifying Transaction by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

Expenditures as presented herein exceed the scope of the allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the Qualifying Transaction application to be submitted in connection with the definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties (see Note 4), the Corporation will submit a waiver application to the Exchange in regard to this matter of non‐compliance. The Exchange will review the details of this waiver application in conjunction with its overall consideration of the Qualifying Transaction application. At their discretion, the Exchange may determine that the waiver application is denied and, consequentially, may deny the entire Qualifying Transaction submission.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and subscriptions payable. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair value

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. Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐ financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation’s fair value measurements are classified as one of the following levels of the fair value hierarchy:

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 fair value of cash, restricted cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and subscriptions payable approximates their fair value due to the short‐term maturities of these items.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash and restricted cash. The carrying amount of cash and restricted cash represents the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $138,206 at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $141,559). Furthermore, the Corporation held restricted cash in the bank of $162,466 at March 31, 2020, (December 31, 2019 ‐ $nil). The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $54,722 as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $24,828) that are considered payable within the next year. The subscriptions payable of $162,466 is also considered potentially payable within the next year, but has an equal amount established as restricted cash.

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 22, 2020, the Corporation and Electric Royalties amended the terms of the definitive business combination agreement pursuant to the Transaction. The amendments served to (a) extend the deadline to complete the Transaction from April 30, 2020 to June 25, 2020; and (b) reduce the condition that the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties complete a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 to at least $3,500,000.

Overview

The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 16, 2016 and, subsequent to the completion of its initial public offering on October 31, 2017, is a Capital Pool Corporation (" CPC ") as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Exchange ") Corporate Finance Manual. The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares (" Common Shares ") to be issued. The registered office of the Corporation is located at 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3R8.

The principal business of the Corporation is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (" QT "). Until the completion of a QT, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a QT. The Corporation's continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability

1

to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition or business, or an interest therein. Such an acquisition will be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities concerned and, in the case of a non‐arm's length transaction, of the majority of the minority shareholders.

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 the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds ($99,900) and $210,000 may be used by the Corporation in respect of covering the prescribed costs of issuing the Common Shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until completion of the QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange. The Corporation is required to complete its QT on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019.

There is no assurance that the Corporation will identify a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange, at which time the Exchange may suspend or de‐list the Corporation's shares for trading.

Initial Public Offering

On October 31, 2017, the Corporation completed the Offering and issued 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for total consideration of $200,000. Pursuant to an agency agreement dated August 11, 2017 (the " Agency Agreement ") between the Corporation and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the " Agent "), the Agent received a cash commission of $20,000, a corporate finance fee of $10,000 and an amount equal to the Agent's reasonable expenses of $8,549. Effective November 3, 2017, the date that the Common Shares were listed for trading on the Exchange, the Corporation issued to the Agent options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10, exercisable until November 3, 2019 (the " Agent's Option "). The Corporation incurred total share issue costs of $76,108, consisting of cash transaction costs of $65,565 directly related to the Offering and $10,543 for share‐based payments related to the Agent’s Options.

As a result of the Offering, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding (2,660,000 of which are subject to escrow restrictions), 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Agent's Option, and 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding Stock Options (as defined below).

After the completion of the Offering, Common Shares previously issued are subject to an escrow agreement and may be cancelled in the event the Corporation is unable to complete a QT within the required time limit of two (2) years. These shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and are excluded from the calculation of loss per share.

Stock Options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, where the board of directors has the discretion to grant directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase Common Shares, in accordance with the Exchange requirements (" Stock Options "). For as long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of all Stock Options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the Offering. As a CPC, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any individual or director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and the number of Common

Shares reserved for issuance to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve (12) month period.

Stock Options granted to the directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of twelve (12) months after the completion of the QT and ninety (90) days following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the Stock Option may be exercised within a maximum period of one (1) year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such Stock Option. Any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options prior to the completion of the QT must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement.

The Corporation granted Stock Options to its directors and officers on April 10, 2017, entitling the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share. The Stock Options are for a five (5) year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, with one‐third vesting on April 10, 2017, one‐third vesting on April 10, 2018 and one‐third vesting on April 10, 2019. As at December 31, 2018 there are 200,000 options outstanding of which 133,333 have vested and are exercisable with a remaining life of 3.3. years.

The Stock Options granted were valued using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation recognized stock‐ based compensation expense of $624 and $3,832, respectively ($1,872 and $10,342 ‐ December 31, 2017) that was recorded as contributed surplus.

Total assets 194,719 228,609 101,210
Total non‐current liabilities

As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s financial position is constituted by short‐term financial assets and liabilities with no existing financial commitments.

Operating results for each quarter since incorporation are primarily composed of professional fees, transfer agent and filings fees, and stock‐based compensation expenses incurred in each quarter. To date, the Corporation has only generated interest revenue.

Results of Operations

The Corporation recorded net losses of $22,321 and $74,762 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively ($19,185 and $55,956 for the comparative periods ending December 31, 2017). These net losses are due mainly to professional fees, transfer agent and filings fees, and stock‐ based compensation expenses incurred in each period as well as costs incurred in 2017 relating to its listing on the Exchange.

Additional Disclosure for Venture Issuers without Significant Revenue

Since the Corporation has no revenue from operations, the following is a breakdown of the material costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Material Costs($) Year 2018 Year 2017
Professional fees 56,978 17,992
Transfer agent and filing fees 14,698 26,597
Bank fees 509 821
Administrative expenses 204
Stock‐based compensation 3,832 10,342

Financial Condition including Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2018, working capital was $147,778. Cash as at December 31, 2018 was $194,719, compared with $225,990 as at December 31, 2017. The decrease in cash is due to expenditures for professional fees and transfer agent and filing fees of the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Other than accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Corporation does not otherwise have any outstanding commitments and has not pledged any of its assets as security for loans, or otherwise and is not subject to any debt covenants. Based on current information, the Corporation anticipates that its working capital is sufficient to meet its expected ongoing obligation for the coming year and for completion of a QT.

Outstanding Share Data

The following table summarizes the Corporation's outstanding common share and options data as of the date of this MD&A:

Common Shares 4,660,000
Agent's Options 200,000
Stock Options 200,000
  • There have been no changes to outstanding common shares and options from year end December 31, 2017.

Escrowed shares

As at the date of this MD&A, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares (December 31, 2017 – 4,660,000) outstanding, of which 2,660,000 Common Shares are held in escrow and contingently cancellable. These Common Shares will be held in escrow and will be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% of the escrowed shares upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a QT by the Exchange, and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These escrowed shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with without the consent of the regulatory authorities. If the Corporation does not receive final acceptance of a QT and is delisted, the common shares held in escrow may be cancelled and the proceeds returned to the shareholders.

Off‐Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation 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 Corporation including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Proposed Transactions

Although the Corporation has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing a QT, the Corporation has not yet entered into any agreement.

Related Party Transactions

Related parties include the board of directors and executive officers of the Corporation, close family members and enterprises which are controlled by individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions.

The Exchange prohibits directors and officers from receiving remuneration while the Corporation is a CPC. As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation has not completed a QT and accordingly, the officers and

directors of the Corporation have not been paid any compensation other than the stock options granted on April 10, 2017 (see above).

There were no related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Corporation does not have amounts owing to or from related parties as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Capital Management

Capital is comprised of the Corporation's shareholders' equity and any debt that it may issue. As at December 31, 2018, the Corporation's shareholders' equity was $147,778 and it had $46,941 in current liabilities. The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its on‐going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally‐determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.

The capital for expansion was entirely from proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares. The net proceeds raised will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a QT. Additional funds may be required to finance the Corporation's QT.

The Corporation's capital management objectives, policies and processes have not changed over the periods presented. The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair Value

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. Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Corporation's require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation characterizes its fair value measurements into a three‐level hierarchy depending on the degree to which the inputs are observable, as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short‐term maturities of these items.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable represent the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $194,719 at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 ‐ $225,990).

The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash and cash equivalents by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings. The accounts receivable balance of $2,619 existing as of December 31, 2017 consisted entirely of Goods & Services Tax receivable, which was reimbursed by the Government of Canada subsequent to applicable filings and assessment.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $46,941 as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 ‐ $9,901) that are considered payable within the next year.

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Corporation's Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS "), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (" IASB "). The Corporation's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 within the Audited Financial Statements. Given the early stage of the Corporation, there were no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

New standards adopted on January 1, 2018

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which includes a principle‐ based approach for classification and measurement of financial assets and a forward‐looking ‘expected credit loss’ model. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (" FVOCI "); or fair value through profit or loss (" FVTPL "). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. The

classification and measurement of financial instruments under IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of financial assets under IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with an "expected credit loss" model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39. The application of the expected credit loss model to financial assets classified as amortized cost did not result in a material adjustment on transition.

IFRS 9 was applied retrospectively in accordance with transition requirements with no impact to opening retained earnings or comparative periods. Cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables continue to be measured at amortized cost and are now classified as "amortized cost". The Corporation’s financial liabilities previously classified as “other financial liabilities” being trade and other payables and accrued liabilities continue to be measured at amortized cost and are now classified as “amortized cost”. The Corporation has not designated any financial instruments as FVOCI or FVTPL, nor does the Corporation use hedge accounting.

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Corporation adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” effective January 1, 2018, which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much, and when revenue from contracts with customers is recognized. The Corporation adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. Under this transitional provision, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 is recognized on the date of initial application as an adjustment to retained earnings. Given that the Corporation has no revenue‐generating operations to date, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption of IFRS 15.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

The following are new IFRS pronouncements that have been issued, although not yet effective and have not been early adopted, and may have an impact on the financial statements in the future as discussed below.

IFRS 16: Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Corporation will be required to adopt IFRS 16 “Leases” to replace the existing guidance of IAS 17 “Leases”. The standard establishes principles and disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The Corporation does not expect any material impact from the adoption of this standard.

Outlook

The Corporation intends to evaluate direct or indirect acquisitions of assets to complete a QT. The Corporation continues to monitor its spending and will amend its plans based on business opportunities that may arise in the future.

REBEL CAPITAL INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Overview

The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 16, 2016 and, subsequent to the completion of its initial public offering on October 31, 2017, is a Capital Pool Corporation (" CPC ") as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Exchange ") Corporate Finance Manual. The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares (" Common Shares ") to be issued. The registered office of the Corporation is located at 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3R8.

The principal business of the Corporation is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (" QT "). Until the completion of a QT, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a QT. The Corporation's continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability

1

to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition or business, or an interest therein. Such an acquisition will be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities concerned and, in the case of a non‐arm's length transaction, of the majority of the minority shareholders.

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 the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds ($99,900) and $210,000 may be used by the Corporation in respect of covering the prescribed costs of issuing the Common Shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until completion of the QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

The Corporation was required to complete its QT on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019, which did not occur. As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation has not completed a QT within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange. On November 5, 2019, the Exchange formally advised that trading in the Common Shares of the Company would be suspended which occurred on November 7, 2019 and remains in effect until further notice.

As of December 31, 2019, expenditures of the Corporation exceeded the scope of the allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the QT application to be submitted in connection with the definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (see below), the Corporation will submit a waiver application to the Exchange in regard to this matter of non‐compliance. The Exchange will review the details of this waiver application in conjunction with its overall consideration of the QT application. At their discretion, the Exchange may determine that the waiver application is denied and, consequentially, may deny the entire QT submission.

Proposed Qualifying Transaction

On January 28, 2020, the Corporation entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (“ Electric Royalties ”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Electric Royalties (the “ Transaction ”). On April 22, 2020, certain terms of the definitive agreement were amended. The completion of the Transaction is subject to the following:

  • 1) The approval of the Corporation’s shareholders of a 2:1 consolidation of the Corporation’s common shares.

  • 2) The completion of a private placement by the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties of a minimum of 20,000,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a combined minimum of $3,500,000. Upon completion of the Transaction, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share. In the event that the Transaction is not completed, the subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers. If the Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

  • 3) The approval of the Exchange of the Corporations submission of this transaction as a QT.

2

As described previously, the Corporation has not completed a QT within the time limitations specified under the policies of the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of this MD&A, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the submission process to the Exchange for approval of the Transaction as a “Qualifying Transaction” under the Exchange rules, each of the facts and circumstances of the Corporation as previously described herein will be taken into consideration by the Exchange in the context of the overall decision to either approve or deny the Corporation’s submission. In the event that the Exchange denies the Corporation’s QT submission, the Corporation’s shares may be de‐listed from the Exchange. Under this scenario, the shareholders may apply for listing on NEX stock exchange (“NEX”) rather than be de‐listed upon obtaining majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares). In order to be eligible to list on NEX, the Company must either 1) cancel all the Escrowed Shares or 2) subject to majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares), cancel an amount of the Escrowed Shares so that the average cost of the remaining Escrowed Shares is at least equal to the initial purchase offer price. This would equate to the cancellation of 1,330,000 (50%) of the Escrowed Shares. If the option of applying for listing on the NEX is not pursued, then within 90 days of the de‐listing the Company will be required under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange to wind‐up and liquidate its assets, and distribute its remaining assets on a pro rata basis to its shareholders.

COVID‐19 Pandemic

In the first quarter of 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID‐19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID‐19 outbreak may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, we anticipate this outbreak may, in general, cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Corporation’s business and financial condition.

Initial Public Offering

On October 31, 2017, the Corporation completed the Offering and issued 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for total consideration of $200,000. Pursuant to an agency agreement dated August 11, 2017 (the " Agency Agreement ") between the Corporation and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the " Agent "), the Agent received a cash commission of $20,000, a corporate finance fee of $10,000 and an amount equal to the Agent's reasonable expenses of $8,549. Effective November 3, 2017, the date that the Common Shares were listed for trading on the Exchange, the Corporation issued to the Agent options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10, which were exercisable until they expired on November 3, 2019 (the " Agent's Option "). The Corporation incurred total share issue costs of $76,108, consisting of cash transaction costs of $65,565 directly related to the Offering and $10,543 for share‐based payments related to the Agent’s Options.

As a result of the Offering, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding (2,660,000 of which are subject to escrow restrictions), and 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding Stock Options (as defined below).

After the completion of the Offering, Common Shares previously issued are subject to an escrow agreement and may be cancelled in the event the Corporation is unable to complete a QT within the required time limit of two (2) years. These shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and are excluded from the calculation of loss per share.

Stock Options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, where the board of directors has the discretion to grant directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase Common Shares, in accordance with the Exchange requirements (" Stock Options "). For as long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of all Stock Options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the Offering. As a CPC, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any individual or director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve (12) month period.

Stock Options granted to the directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of twelve (12) months after the completion of the QT and ninety (90) days following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the Stock Option may be exercised within a maximum period of one (1) year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such Stock Option. Any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options prior to the completion of the QT must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement.

The Corporation granted Stock Options to its directors and officers on April 10, 2017, entitling the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share. The Stock Options are for a five (5) year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, with one‐third vesting on April 10, 2017, one‐third vesting on April 10, 2018 and one‐third vesting on April 10, 2019. As at December 31, 2019 there are 200,000 options outstanding and exercisable with a remaining life of 2.3 years.

The Stock Options granted were valued using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, the Corporation recognized stock‐ based compensation expense of $678 ($3,832 ‐ December 31, 2018) that was recorded as contributed surplus.

Selected Annual Information

Total non‐current liabilities

As of December 31, 2019, the Corporation’s financial position is constituted by short‐term financial assets and liabilities with no existing financial commitments. Fluctuations in annual financial results have been primarily influenced by incurred professional fees as well as transfer agent and filing fees in each year. As previously mentioned, the Corporation was incorporated in September 2016.

Results of Operations

The Corporation recorded net losses of $14,261 and $31,725 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively ($22,321 and $74,762 for the comparative periods ending December 31, 2018). These net losses are due mainly to professional fees, transfer agent and exchange fees, and stock‐ based compensation expenses incurred in each period.

Additional Disclosure for Venture Issuers without Significant Revenue

Since the Corporation has no revenue from operations, the following is a breakdown of the material costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Material Costs($) Year 2019 Year 2018 Year 2017
Professional fees 23,827 56,978 17,992
Transfer agent and filing fees 9,160 14,698 26,597
Bank fees 74 509 821
Administrative expenses 204
Stock‐based compensation 678 3,832 10,342

Financial Condition including Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2019, working capital was $116,731. Cash as at December 31, 2018 was $141,559, compared with $194,719 as at December 31, 2018. The changes in cash are due to expenditures for professional fees and transfer agent and filing fees of the Corporation offset by interest revenue earning during the year ended December 31, 2019.

As the Corporation has no assets capable of generating net positive cash flow, it will continue for the foreseeable future to rely upon its remaining financial resources to fund ongoing costs and to complete a potential QT. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that the Corporation will be successful in raising the capital required to successfully complete a QT and finance future operations. The Corporation continues to make deliberate efforts to conserve Corporation finances while pursuing completion of a QT.

Other than accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Corporation does not otherwise have any outstanding commitments and has not pledged any of its assets as security for loans, or otherwise and is not subject to any debt covenants. Based on current information, the Corporation anticipates that its working capital is sufficient to meet its expected ongoing obligation for the coming year and for completion of a QT.

Outstanding Share Data

The following table summarizes the Corporation's outstanding common share and options data as of the date of this MD&A:

Common Shares 4,660,000
Stock Options 200,000
  • There have been no changes to outstanding common shares and stock options from year end December 31, 2018. On November 3, 2019, the 200,000 outstanding Agent’s Options expired.

6

Escrowed shares

As at the date of this MD&A, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares (December 31, 2018 – 4,660,000) outstanding, of which 2,660,000 Common Shares are held in escrow and contingently cancellable. These Common Shares will be held in escrow and will be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% of the escrowed shares upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a QT by the Exchange, and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These escrowed shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with without the consent of the regulatory authorities. If the Corporation does not receive final acceptance of a QT and is delisted, the common shares held in escrow may be cancelled and the proceeds returned to the shareholders.

Off‐Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation 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 Corporation including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Related Party Transactions

Related parties include the board of directors and executive officers of the Corporation, close family members and enterprises which are controlled by individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions.

The Exchange prohibits directors and officers from receiving remuneration while the Corporation is a CPC. As of December 31, 2019, the Corporation has not completed a QT and accordingly, the officers and directors of the Corporation have not been paid any compensation other than the stock options granted on April 10, 2017 (see above).

There were no related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Corporation does not have amounts owing to or from related parties as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Capital Management

Capital is comprised of the Corporation's shareholders' equity and any debt that it may issue. As at December 31, 2019, the Corporation's shareholders' equity was $116,731 and it had $24,828 in current liabilities. The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its on‐going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally‐determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.

The capital for expansion was entirely from proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares. The net proceeds raised will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a QT. Additional funds may be required to finance the Corporation's QT.

7

The Corporation's capital management objectives, policies and processes have not changed over the periods presented. The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair Value

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. Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Corporation's require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation characterizes its fair value measurements into a three‐level hierarchy depending on the degree to which the inputs are observable, as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short‐term maturities of these items.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Corporation's cash. The carrying amount of cash represent the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $141,559 at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $194,719). The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $24,828 as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 ‐ $46,941) that are considered payable within the next year.

8

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Corporation's Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS "), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (" IASB "). The Corporation's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 within the Audited Financial Statements. Given the early stage of the Corporation, there were no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

New standards adopted on January 1, 2019

IFRS 16: Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted IFRS 16 “Leases” to replace the existing guidance of IAS 17 “Leases”. The standard establishes principles and disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Given that the Corporation has no leases, no adjustments were required from the adoption of this standard.

Outlook

The Corporation continues to move forward with the Transaction with Electric Royalties in order to complete a QT. The Corporation continues to monitor its spending and will amend its plans as necessary to realize business opportunities available to the Corporation.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward‐looking statements. The Corporation believes that the expectations reflected in those forward‐looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward‐looking statements included in this MD&A should not be unduly relied upon by investors as actual results may vary. These statements speak only as of the date of this MD&A and are expressly qualified, in their entirety, by this cautionary statement. The Corporation's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‐looking statements as a result of various risk factors.

Overview

The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 16, 2016 and, subsequent to the completion of its initial public offering on October 31, 2017, is a Capital Pool Corporation (" CPC ") as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Exchange ") Corporate Finance Manual. The Corporation has authorized an unlimited number of common shares (" Common Shares ") to be issued. The registered office of the Corporation is located at 2000, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3R8.

The principal business of the Corporation is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (" QT "). Until the completion of a QT, the Corporation will

1

not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a QT. The Corporation's continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition or business, or an interest therein. Such an acquisition will be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities concerned and, in the case of a non‐arm's length transaction, of the majority of the minority shareholders.

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 the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds ($99,900) and $210,000 may be used by the Corporation in respect of covering the prescribed costs of issuing the Common Shares and general administrative expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until completion of the QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

The Corporation was required to complete its QT on or before two (2) years from the date of listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, being November 3, 2019, which did not occur. As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation has not completed a QT within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange. On November 5, 2019, the Exchange formally advised that trading in the Common Shares of the Company would be suspended which occurred on November 7, 2019 and remains in effect until further notice.

As of March 31, 2020, expenditures of the Corporation exceeded the scope of the allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the QT application to be submitted in connection with the definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (see below), the Corporation will submit a waiver application to the Exchange in regard to this matter of non‐compliance. The Exchange will review the details of this waiver application in conjunction with its overall consideration of the QT application. At their discretion, the Exchange may determine that the waiver application is denied and, consequentially, may deny the entire QT submission.

Going Concern

The Corporation’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Corporation will be able to discharge its obligations and realize its assets in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation incurred a loss from operations of $33,247 and used $3,353 of cash flows in its operating activities, and has no assets capable of generating cash flows to fund future operations. As at March 31, 2020, the Corporation has working capital of $83,484.

As the Corporation has no assets capable of generating net positive cash flow, it will continue for the foreseeable future to rely upon its remaining financial resources to fund ongoing costs and to complete a potential QT. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that the Corporation will be successful in identifying and raising the capital required to successfully complete a QT and finance future operations.

Further, in March 2020, the global outbreak of COVID‐19 (coronavirus) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Governments worldwide, including those in Canada, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self‐imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic downturn. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions; however, the

success of these interventions is not currently determinable. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID‐19 outbreak may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain but could impact the Corporation's operations, cash flows and financial condition or the timing for the completion of a QT.

Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for the financial statements and that the Corporation will be able to meet its obligations as they come due. However, there is no certainty as to the timing and likelihood of realizing a QT that may provide additional financial resources to the Corporation. Should the going concern assumption not be appropriate and the Corporation is not able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations, the financial statements of the Corporation would require adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities. These adjustments could be material.

Proposed Qualifying Transaction

On January 28, 2020, the Corporation entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Electric Royalties Ltd. (“ Electric Royalties ”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Electric Royalties (the “ Transaction ”). On April 22, 2020, certain terms of the definitive agreement were amended (see below). The completion of the Transaction is subject to the following:

  • 1) The approval of the Corporation’s shareholders of a 2:1 consolidation of the Corporation’s common shares.

  • 2) The completion of a private placement by the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties of a minimum of 20,000,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of a combined minimum of $3,500,000 (as amended). Upon completion of the Transaction, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share. In the event that the Transaction is not completed, the subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers. If the Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐ of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

  • 3) The approval of the Exchange of the Corporations submission of this transaction as a QT.

On April 22, 2020, the Corporation and Electric Royalties amended the terms of the definitive business combination agreement pursuant to the Transaction. The amendments served to (a) extend the deadline to complete the Transaction from April 30, 2020 to June 25, 2020; and (b) reduce the condition that the Corporation and/or Electric Royalties complete a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 to at least $3,500,000.

As described previously, the Corporation has not completed a QT within the time limitations specified under the policies of the Exchange. Furthermore, as of the date of this MD&A, the cumulative general administrative expenses of the Corporation are in excess of allowable general administrative expenses based on the aforementioned restrictions. As part of the submission process to the Exchange for approval of the Transaction as a “Qualifying Transaction” under the Exchange rules, each of the facts and circumstances of the Corporation as previously described herein will be taken into consideration by the

3

Exchange in the context of the overall decision to either approve or deny the Corporation’s submission. In the event that the Exchange denies the Corporation’s QT submission, the Corporation’s shares may be de‐listed from the Exchange. Under this scenario, the shareholders may apply for listing on NEX stock exchange (“NEX”) rather than be de‐listed upon obtaining majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares as described further below). In order to be eligible to list on NEX, the Company must either 1) cancel all the Escrowed Shares or 2) subject to majority shareholder approval (exclusive of the votes of the Escrowed Shares), cancel an amount of the Escrowed Shares so that the average cost of the remaining Escrowed Shares is at least equal to the initial purchase offer price. This would equate to the cancellation of 1,330,000 (50%) of the Escrowed Shares. If the option of applying for listing on the NEX is not pursued, then within 90 days of the de‐listing the Company will be required under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange to wind‐up and liquidate its assets, and distribute its remaining assets on a pro rata basis to its shareholders.

Initial Public Offering

On October 31, 2017, the Corporation completed the Offering and issued 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for total consideration of $200,000. Pursuant to an agency agreement dated August 11, 2017 (the " Agency Agreement ") between the Corporation and Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the " Agent "), the Agent received a cash commission of $20,000, a corporate finance fee of $10,000 and an amount equal to the Agent's reasonable expenses of $8,549. Effective November 3, 2017, the date that the Common Shares were listed for trading on the Exchange, the Corporation issued to the Agent options to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.10, which were exercisable until they expired on November 3, 2019 (the " Agent's Option "). The Corporation incurred total share issue costs of $76,108, consisting of cash transaction costs of $65,565 directly related to the Offering and $10,543 for share‐based payments related to the Agent’s Options.

As a result of the Offering, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding (2,660,000 of which are subject to escrow restrictions), and 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding Stock Options (as defined below).

After the completion of the Offering, Common Shares previously issued are subject to an escrow agreement and may be cancelled in the event the Corporation is unable to complete a QT within the required time limit of two (2) years. These shares are accounted for as contingently returnable shares and are excluded from the calculation of loss per share.

Stock Options

On April 3, 2017, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan, where the board of directors has the discretion to grant directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, non‐transferable options to purchase Common Shares, in accordance with the Exchange requirements (" Stock Options "). For as long as the Corporation is a CPC under the policies of the Exchange, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of all Stock Options granted under the stock option plan shall not exceed 10% of the Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at the closing of the Offering. As a CPC, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any individual or director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve (12) month period.

4

Stock Options granted to the directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation while it is a CPC may be exercised during the greater of twelve (12) months after the completion of the QT and ninety (90) days following cessation of the optionee's position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, or technical consulting arrangement is by reason of death, the Stock Option may be exercised within a maximum period of one (1) year after such death, subject to the expiry date of such Stock Option. Any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options prior to the completion of the QT must be deposited in escrow and will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange under a CPC escrow agreement.

The Corporation granted Stock Options to its directors and officers on April 10, 2017, entitling the purchase of 200,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share. The Stock Options are for a five (5) year term, expiring on April 10, 2022, with one‐third vesting on April 10, 2017, one‐third vesting on April 10, 2018 and one‐third vesting on April 10, 2019. As at March 31, 2020 there are 200,000 options outstanding and exercisable with a remaining life of 2.0 years.

The Stock Options granted were valued using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation recognized stock‐based compensation expense of $nil ($610 ‐ March 31, 2019).

Results of Operations

The Corporation recorded a net loss of $33,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 ($9,290 ‐ March 31, 2019). These net losses are due mainly to professional fees, transfer agent and exchange fees, and stock‐based compensation expenses incurred in each period.

Since the Corporation has no revenue from operations, the following is a breakdown of the material costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Material Costs($) Q1 2020 Q1 2019
Professional fees 27,436 1,786
Transfer agent and filing fees 6,364 6,448
Bank fees 39 33
Stock‐based compensation 610

Financial Condition including Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2020, working capital was $83,484. Cash as at March 31, 2020 was $138,206, compared with $141,559 as at December 31, 2019. The changes in cash are due to expenditures for professional fees and transfer agent and filing fees of the Corporation offset by interest revenue earning during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

As mentioned previously, the Corporation has no assets capable of generating net positive cash flow. As such, it will continue for the foreseeable future to rely upon its remaining financial resources to fund ongoing costs and to complete a potential QT. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that the Corporation will be successful in identifying and raising the capital required to successfully complete a QT and finance future operations. The Corporation continues to make deliberate efforts to conserve Corporation finances while pursuing completion of a QT.

Other than accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Corporation does not otherwise have any outstanding commitments and has not pledged any of its assets as security for loans, or otherwise and is not subject to any debt covenants. Based on current information, the Corporation anticipates that its working capital is sufficient to meet its expected ongoing obligation for the coming year and for completion of a QT.

Subscription Receipts & Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation has received $162,466 for subscription receipts pursuant to the aforementioned private placement at a price of $0.25 per subscription receipt as part of the Transaction outlined above. As mentioned above, each subscription receipt will be automatically converted into one post‐consolidation share of the Corporation upon completion of the Transaction. The subscription agreement for the subscription receipts specifies that the closing of the underlying subscriptions is conditional upon the closing of the Transaction. In the event the Transaction is not completed, the

6

subscription receipts will be cancelled and the subscription price paid will be returned to the subscribers and as a result, the proceeds received for $162,466 have been recorded as a subscriptions payable. The $162,466 received for subscription receipts is held in trust in accordance with the terms of the governing agreement of the subscription receipts. This cash balance is presented as restricted given management does not have authority to access these underlying balances held in trust until such time that the Transaction closes.

Outstanding Share Data

The following table summarizes the Corporation's outstanding common share and options data as of the date of this MD&A:

Common Shares 4,660,000
StockOptions 200,000
  • There have been no changes to outstanding common shares and stock options from year end December 31, 2018. On November 3, 2019, the 200,000 outstanding Agent’s Options expired.

Escrowed shares

As at the date of this MD&A, the Corporation has 4,660,000 Common Shares (December 31, 2019 – 4,660,000) outstanding, of which 2,660,000 Common Shares are held in escrow and contingently cancellable. These Common Shares will be held in escrow and will be released pro‐rata to the shareholders as to 10% of the escrowed shares upon issuance of notice of final acceptance of a QT by the Exchange, and as to the remainder in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter for a period of 36 months. These escrowed shares may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with without the consent of the regulatory authorities. If the Corporation does not receive final acceptance of a QT and is delisted, the common shares held in escrow may be cancelled and the proceeds returned to the shareholders.

Off‐Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation 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 Corporation including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Related Party Transactions

Related parties include the board of directors and executive officers of the Corporation, close family members and enterprises which are controlled by individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions.

The Exchange prohibits directors and officers from receiving remuneration while the Corporation is a CPC. As of March 31, 2020, the Corporation has not completed a QT and accordingly, the officers and directors of the Corporation have not been paid any compensation other than the stock options granted on April 10, 2017 (see above).

7

There were no related party transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Corporation does not have amounts owing to or from related parties as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Capital Management

Capital is comprised of the Corporation's shareholders' equity and any debt that it may issue. As at March 31, 2020, the Corporation's shareholders' equity was $83,484 and it had $217,188 in current liabilities, including $162,466 in subscriptions payable. The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its on‐going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally‐determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.

The capital for expansion was entirely from proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares. The net proceeds raised will only be sufficient to identify and evaluate a limited number of assets and businesses for the purpose of identifying and completing a QT. Additional funds may be required to finance the Corporation's QT.

The Corporation's capital management objectives, policies and processes have not changed over the periods presented. The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Corporation, as part of its operations, carries financial instruments consisting of cash, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and subscriptions payable. It is management's opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit, interest, or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Fair Value

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. Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Corporation's require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non‐financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation characterizes its fair value measurements into a three‐level hierarchy depending on the degree to which the inputs are observable, as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and subscriptions payable approximates their fair value due to the short‐term maturities of these items.

8

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash and restricted cash. The carrying amount of cash and restricted cash represents the maximum credit exposure to the Corporation. The Corporation held cash in the bank of $138,206 at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $141,559). Furthermore, the Corporation held restricted cash in the bank of $162,466 at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $nil). The Corporation manages credit exposure related to cash by selecting financial institution counterparties with high credit ratings.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Corporation has accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $54,722 as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 ‐ $24,828) that are considered payable within the next year. The subscriptions payable of $162,466 is also considered potentially payable within the next year, but has an equal amount established as restricted cash.

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 commodity and equity prices. The Corporation does not have significant exposure to these risks.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Corporation's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (" IFRS "), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (" IASB "). The Corporation's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 within the Audited Financial Statements. Given the early stage of the Corporation, there have been no significant estimates or judgments made by management in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

Outlook

The Corporation continues to move forward with the Transaction with Electric Royalties in order to complete a QT. The Corporation continues to monitor its spending and will amend its plans as necessary to realize business opportunities available to the Corporation.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Electric Royalties Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Electric Royalties Ltd. (formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“Canadian GAAS”). 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.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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, 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 GAAS 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 GAAS, 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.

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Electric Royalties Ltd. (formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 26, 2012 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company’s corporate office is 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4H1.

The Company is focused predominantly on acquiring royalty interests in advanced stage mineral projects as well as operating mines, located in jurisdictions with low geopolitical risk, to build a diversified portfolio of royalty interests in significant mineral deposits (resources and/or reserves) of a wide range of commodities (lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel & copper) that will benefit from the drive to electrification (cars, rechargeable batteries, large scale energy storage, renewable energy generation and other applications).

The Company entered into a binding letter agreement dated August 30, 2019, as subsequently amended with last amendment date being April 1, 2020, with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. to acquire a portfolio consisting of seven royalties in exchange for 3,000,000 company shares of the Company and $500,000 cash. The transaction is subject, amongst other conditions, to completion of an initial public listing and a $3,500,000 private placement of the Company’s common share.

After the reporting period, the Company entered into three additional agreements for acquisition of royalty interests (note 5).

In November 2019, the Company and Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel”) (TSXV: RBL.P), a capital pool company, announced that they had entered into a letter of intent dated November 21, 2019 (the “Letter of Intent”) pursuant to which Rebel will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (the “Proposed Transaction”). Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, on January 28, 2020, the Company and Rebel entered into a definitive business combination agreement (“BCA”), as subsequently amended as announced by Rebel on April 22, 2020. The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute Rebel’s “Qualifying Transaction”, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a “three‐cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (BCBCA), pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate with a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, which will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the current shares of Rebel will be consolidated on the basis of one new Rebel common share for every two existing common shares, resulting in a total of 2,330,000 post‐consolidation Rebel shares. Rebel will then acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a ratio of one post‐consolidation Rebel share for every one Company share. The shareholders of the Company will be issued approximately 20 million post‐consolidation Rebel common shares upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Page 6

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Although the Proposed Transaction will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, it will constitute a reverse takeover (RTO) for accounting purposes as the current shareholders of the Company will own a substantial majority of the common shares of the resulting group.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and a number of additional conditions precedent, including the completion of a private placement financing for a minimum aggregate gross amount of $3,500,000 at a price of $0.25 per common share.

There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed. If the Proposed Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Statement of compliance

These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), effective for the Company's reporting year ended December 31, 2019.

(b) Basis of presentation

Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

(c) Functional currency

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar.

(d) Financial instruments

The classification of financial assets is based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.

Page 7

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

All financial assets that are not classified at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) are measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") with net gains and losses on subsequent revaluation and income and expenses, including any transaction cost, associated with such assets recognised in profit or loss. All derivative financial assets and hybrid financial instruments with embedded derivatives are classified at FVTPL.

For a financial asset to be measured at amortized cost, it must meet the following conditions:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Upon initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are measured at fair value plus, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. Subsequently, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, and net of any impairment loss. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment losses, and gain or losses on derecognition are recognised in profit or loss.

The Company has no financial assets which are classified as at FVTOCI.

The Company’s financial assets at amortized cost comprise accounts receivable and cash.

The Company classifies its non‐derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost that are recognized initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs.

When a compound financial instrument is issued, its initial carrying amount is allocated to its equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at amortized cost comprise accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company has no derivative financial liabilities.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all debt instruments at amortized cost. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages.

Page 8

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  • For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12‐months.

  • For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default.

The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

(e) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(f) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share information for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti‐dilutive.

(g)

Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

The following temporary differences are not provided for:

  • goodwill not deductible for tax purposes;

  • the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and

  • differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Page 9

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(h) Operating segments

The Company operates as a single segment and the Financial Statements should be read as a whole for the results of this single reporting segment.

3. SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES

  • (a) Authorized share capital

The authorized share capital of the Company was comprised of an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the “Common Shares”). All issued shares are fully paid.

(b) Issued share capital

In December 2019, the Company issued 10,000,000 of its Common Shares at a price of $0.01 per share and for aggregate proceeds of $100,000.

In February 2017, the Company repurchased and cancelled 500 of its Common Shares for an aggregate price of $5.

4. INCOME TAXES

(a) Provision for current tax

No provision has been made for current income taxes, as the Company has no taxable income.

(b) Provision for deferred tax

As future taxable profits of the Company are uncertain, no deferred tax asset has been recognized.

Page 10

Electric Royalties Ltd. (Formerly Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited) Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had unused non‐capital loss carry forwards and deductible expenditure pools of approximately $50,874 (2018–$nil; 2017 – $nil).

Electric Royalties Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Electric Royalties Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 26, 2012 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company’s corporate office is 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4H1.

The Company is focused predominantly on acquiring royalty interests in advanced stage mineral projects as well as operating mines, located in jurisdictions with low geopolitical risk, to build a diversified portfolio of royalty interests in significant mineral deposits (resources and/or reserves) of a wide range of commodities (lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel & copper) that will benefit from the drive to electrification (cars, rechargeable batteries, large scale energy storage, renewable energy generation and other applications).

As of the date of issuane of these Financial Statements, the Company had entered into several agreements for acquisition of royalty interests (note 5) that are subject to certain conditions precedent as described in Note 5.

On January 28, 2020, the Company and Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel”) (TSXV: RBL.P), a capital pool company, entered into a definitive business combination agreement (“BCA”) pursuant to which Rebel will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (the “Proposed Transaction”). The BCA was subsequently amended as announced by Rebel on April 22, 2020. The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute Rebel’s “Qualifying Transaction”, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a “three‐cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (BCBCA), pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate with a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, which will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the current shares of Rebel will be consolidated on the basis of one new Rebel common share for every two existing common shares, resulting in a total of 2,330,000 post‐consolidation Rebel shares. Rebel will then acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a ratio of one post‐consolidation Rebel share for every one Company share. The shareholders of the Company will be issued approximately 20 million post‐consolidation Rebel common shares upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Although the Proposed Transaction will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, it will constitute a reverse takeover (RTO) for accounting purposes as the current shareholders of the Company will own a substantial majority of the common shares of the resulting group.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and a number of additional conditions precedent, including the completion of a private placement financing for a minimum aggregate gross amount of $3,500,000 at a price of $0.25 per common share.

Page 6

Electric Royalties Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed. If the Proposed Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

1.1 Date

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Electric Royalties Ltd. (“ERL” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Financial Statements”).

The Company reports in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The following disclosure and associated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with IFRS. All monetary amounts herein are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), unless stated otherwise.

This MD&A is prepared as of June 14, 2020.

1.2 Overview

Incorporated on January 26, 2012 pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”),the Company’s name was changed from Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited to Electric Royalties Ltd. on July 10, 2019.

The head office and registered office of ERL is located at 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4H1.

ERL is currently a privately held royalty investment company in the natural resources (mining) sector.

ERL acquires revenue‐based and net smelter return royalties on operating mines, mines under construction, development stage mining projects and exploration stage resource projects (collectively hereinafter “Projects”) from operators of Projects looking to raise capital to develop or explore Projects or to recapitalise their balance sheets as well as existing royalties held by third parties (collectively hereinafter the “Royalty Sellers”). Net smelter returns are broadly defined as the net revenue (after smelting and refining costs) that the owner of a Project receives from the smelter or refinery for the mine's metal or mineral products less specified transportation and insurance costs and net smelter return royalties are a set percentage of the net smelter return (“NSR”). Gross revenue royalties entitle the royalty owner to a percentage of the gross revenue from the metals or minerals produced by a Project and sold (“GRR”).

ERL’s business objectives are to acquire a portfolio of long‐term, stable, and diversified royalty streams from Royalty Sellers and to provide shareholders with capital appreciation and a growing, sustainable, long‐term cash distribution over time.

ERL management has identified over 500 potential royalty acquisition opportunities, over operating, construction, development or exploration stage Projects, through provision of development capital or acquisition of pre‐existing royalties within ERL’s focus commodities of nickel, copper, graphite, cobalt, tin, lithium, manganese and vanadium (“Commodities”).

Traditional royalty‐based financing has been used extensively in the North American natural resource, consumer products, industrial manufacturing, industrial services, healthcare and food sectors.

Page |

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

ERL’s long‐term objectives will be achieved by:

  • Acquiring long‐term GRR and NSR royalties on Projects from Royalty Sellers;

  • Reinvesting royalty income to acquire new royalties on an ongoing basis to drive growth in ERL’s assets and returns;

  • Using debt financing to acquire additional royalties in order to enhance financial returns for shareholders; and

  • Maintaining a low operating cost structure when compared to mining companies.

Proposed Reverse Takeover

On January 28, 2020, the Company and Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel”) (TSXV: RBL.P), a capital pool company, entered into a definitive business combination agreement (“BCA”) pursuant to which Rebel will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (the “Proposed Transaction”). The BCA was subsequently amended as announced by Rebel on April 22, 2020. The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute Rebel’s “Qualifying Transaction”, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a “three‐cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the BCBCA, pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate with a wholly‐ owned subsidiary of Rebel, which will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the current shares of Rebel will be consolidated on the basis of one new Rebel common share for every two existing common shares, resulting in a total of 2,330,000 post‐consolidation Rebel shares. Rebel will then acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a ratio of one post‐consolidation Rebel share for every one Company share. The shareholders of the Company will be issued approximately 20 million post‐ consolidation Rebel common shares upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Although the Proposed Transaction will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, it will constitute a reverse takeover (RTO) for accounting purposes as the current shareholders of the Company will own a substantial majority of the common shares of the resulting group.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and a number of additional conditions precedent, including the completion of a private placement financing for a minimum aggregate gross amount of $3,500,000 at a price of $0.25 per common share.

There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed. If the Proposed Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

In the event the Authier Lithium Project (as defined below) enters commercial production within six years of the Effective Date (as defined in the Globex Letter Agreement), the Company shall make a bonus payment of C$250,000 in cash to Globex, such payment to be due and payable on the date that the Authier Lithium Project achieves 12 months of continuous commercial production, as defined in the definitive feasibility study for the Authier Lithium Project. The contingent bonus will escalate annually with CPI. Pursuant to the Globex Letter Agreement, the Company must satisfy certain conditions precedent in order to close the acquisition of the Globex Portfolio, including completing a C$3,500,000 private placement by June 25, 2020. The Offering is intended to satisfy the private placement condition precedent.

The Globex Portfolio consists of the following royalties:

  1. Authier Lithium Royalty (the “Authier Royalty”) – The Authier Royalty is a 0.5% gross metal Royalty (“GMR”) on part of the Authier lithium project (the “Authier Lithium Project”) as set out in the Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 2018 among Globex, Sayona Québec Inc. (“Sayona Quebec”) and Sayona Mining Limited (the “Sayona Agreement”). The Authier Lithium Project is located in the municipality of Preissac in the Province of Quebec and comprises 19 mineral claims. The Authier Royalty is one quarter of the 2% GMR payable under the Sayona Agreement. Pursuant to the Sayona Agreement, a 2% GMR is payable to Globex on the actual proceeds derived from the sale of all metals, minerals or mineral compounds produced from the Authier Lithium Project by a refinery or another processing facility, including but not limited to lithium, lithium compounds, gold, silver and tungsten. No costs of any kind whatsoever shall be included in the calculation of the 2% GMR.

  • Tin

  • Lithium

  • Graphite

  • Cobalt

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

  • Manganese

  • Vanadium

  • Copper

  • Nickel

In 2020, metal prices are being impacted significantly on the backdrop of concerns surrounding the COVID19 pandemic.

The metal prices provided herein are only indicative and are intended to present overall trends, as opposed to actual prices, which vary materially based on several factors, such as, metal grade, place of delivery, etc.

During 2019, average tin price was US$ 18,607/tonne, down 8% from last year’s average. Average tin price during the first quarter of 2020 was US$ 16,286/tonne, a decrease of 23% compared to the same period of the previous year. As of the date hereof, LME reported a cash price for tin as US$ 16,985/tonne.

In March 2020, Fastmarkets assessed the lithium carbonate (minimum 99.5% Li2CO3, battery grade) spot price at US$8.00/kg – US$9.50/kg, and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (minimum 56.5% LiOH2O, battery grade) spot price at US$9.50/kg – US$11.00/kg, both on a CIF China, Japan and Korea basis. In 2016 and 2017, lithium prices followed an overall upward trend and increased over the two year period from approximately US$ 8/kg to US$ 22/kg. In 2018, monthly average lithium carbonate spot prices decreased by approximately 50% from a peak of US$22.89/kg in February 2018 to US$11.28/kg by October 2018.

Graphite prices are determined based on direct negotiations between buyers and sellers and, because there is no spot or futures market for graphite, prices are provided by companies such as Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Fastmarkets based on periodic surveys of buyers and sellers. Graphite prices are categorized by flake size and purity, i.e. large flake (+80 mesh) and particularly XL flake (+50 mesh) and 94% plus carbon varieties command premium pricing. Currently, approximate price of large flake (+80 mesh, 94-97%C) is US$830/tonne.

The average reference price for standard grade cobalt in 2019 was US$ 16.57/lb, down 56% from US$ 37.35 /lb in 2018 according to Fastmarkets MB. The average price for cobalt was US$ 16.77/lb in the first quarter of 2020.

The average manganese ore prices (CIF China 44%) in 2019 was significantly (21%) down at US$ 5.63/dmtu from an average of US$ 7.16/dmtu in 2018. To date in 2020, manganese prices have been variable; a recent closing price was approximately US$ 4.5 /dmtu.

The average price of V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide flake 98%) was approximately US$18.30/lb in 2018, up from the 2017 average of US$6.52. However, vanadium prices followed an overall downward trend in 2019 and decreased to an average of approximately US$5.40/lb for V2O5 in the fourth quarter of 2019. At December 31, 2019, the price per lb of V2O5 was between US$4.80 and US$5.85; this increased to a range of between US$5.05 and US$6.10 at March 31, 2020. The average price of V2O5 for April 2020 was approximately US$6.45/lb.

The average price for copper in 2019 was US$ 2.72/lb (2018: US$ 2.96/lb; 2017; US$ 3.22/lb). In March 2020, copper prices dropped sharply in response to changing economic conditions related to COVID-19 but have rebounded somewhat since that time. A recent closing price is US$ 2.58/lb.

The average price for nickel was higher in 2019 compared to the average price for 2018. Average LME price of nickel in 2019 was US$ 6.32/lb (2018: US$ 5.95/lb; 2017; US$ 4.72/lb). The average price for

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

nickel for the first quarter of 2020 was US$ 5.77/lb, which was 18% lower than the average price for the last quarter of 2019; the decrease was mainly due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Closing LME cash price of nickel as of the date hereof was US$ 5.72/lb.

1.15.3 Internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has disclosure controls and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that any information required to be disclosed by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that required information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management so that decisions can be made about the timely disclosure of that information.

1.15.4 Risk Factors

General Risk Factors

Liquidity Concerns and Future Financing Requirements

ERL has no source of operating revenue. It may require additional financing in order to fund its business plan. ERL’s ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as its business success. There can be no assurance that ERL will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to it, or at all. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of Company’s shares from treasury, control of ERL may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, ERL may not be able to operate its business at its maximum potential, to expand, to take advantage of other opportunities, or otherwise remain in business.

Volatility of Share Price

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of ERL include global macroeconomic developments, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in the price of commodities will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Company’s shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long‐term value of ERL. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders have instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial cost and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm profitability and the reputation of ERL.

Portfolio Exposure

There is no assurance that the investment objectives of ERL will actually be achieved. The value of the Company’s shares will increase or decrease with the value of its investment portfolio and general economic conditions beyond the control of ERL’s management, including the level of interest rates, corporate earnings, economic activity, the value of the Canadian dollar and other factors. There can be no assurance that the shareholders of ERL will realize any gains from their investment in ERL and may lose their entire investment.

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

Investments Made by ERL May Lack Liquidity

Due to market conditions beyond its control, including investor demand, resale restrictions, general market trends and regulatory restrictions, ERL may not be able to liquidate its royalty investments or other interests when it would otherwise desire to do so in order to operate in accordance with its Investment Policy and investment strategy. Such lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the value of ERL’s investments and, consequently, the value of the Company’s shares. There is no guarantee that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its investment portfolio. Expenses incurred by ERL may exceed any gains realized by ERL on its royalty investments. ERL may invest in a limited number of royalties and, as a consequence, the aggregate returns realized by ERL may be substantially and adversely affected by the unfavourable performance of even a single royalty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its portfolio. The resulting lack of diversification may adversely impact the ability of ERL to achieve its desired investment returns.

Prospect of Dividends

ERL currently intends to use its future earnings, if any, and other cash resources for the operation and development of its business and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends on the Company’s shares. Any future determinations to pay dividends on the Company’s shares will be at the sole discretion of the Board after considering a variety of factors and conditions existing from time to time, including current and future commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens, and foreign exchange rates. As a result, a holder of Company’s shares may not receive any return on an investment in Company’s shares.

Market for the Shares

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s shares will develop or be sustained. If an active public market for the Company’s shares does not develop, the liquidity of a purchaser’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline.

The Forward Looking Statements May Prove to be Inaccurate

This document contains forward‐looking statements, including, without limitation, the forward‐ looking statements listed in “Forward Looking Statements”. By their nature, forward‐looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risk and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward‐looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. The factors discussed in this section and the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” should therefore be weighed carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward‐looking statements provided in this document.

Fluctuating Price of Commodities

Given the nature of ERL’s proposed investment activities, materially adverse fluctuations in the price of commodities may adversely affect the investments that will comprise ERL’s portfolio which may consequently adversely affect ERL’s profitability, financial performance and results of operations. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of ERL, including levels of supply and demand, industrial development levels, inflation and the level of interest rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical events in significant commodities producing countries. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. All commodities,

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

by their nature, are subject to wide price fluctuations and future material price declines will result in a decrease in the revenue or, in the case of severe declines that cause a suspension or termination of production by relevant operators, a complete cessation of revenue from royalties or interests in mineral properties applicable to the relevant commodities. Moreover, the broader commodities market tends to be cyclical, and a general downturn in overall commodities prices or a significant strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could result in a significant decrease in the value of our overall revenue. Any such price decline may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Changes in Technology and Future Demand for Commodities

Currently the commodities ERL focuses its investments on are some of the key metals used in batteries for EVs and other devices. However, the technology pertaining to batteries, EVs and energy creation and storage is changing rapidly, and there is no assurance that the commodities will continue to be used to the same degree as they are now, or that they will be used at all. Any decline in the use of commodities in EVs, batteries, renewable energy generation or technologies utilizing commodities based batteries may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Competition

Many companies are engaged in the search for and the acquisition of commodities, or rights to or interest in commodities, and there is a limited supply of desirable commodities related interests. Many competitors are larger, more established companies with substantial financial resources, operational capabilities and long earnings track‐records. ERL may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring interests in any commodities related assets, whether by way of royalty or other form of investment, as many competitors have greater financial resources and technical staff. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to compete successfully against other companies in acquiring new commodities related interests.

ERL’s inability to acquire additional commodities interests may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

No History

While many members of ERL’s management have expertise and industry experience, ERL itself has no operating history as an investment issuer upon which its business and affairs may be evaluated, and there can be no assurance that its business will be successful or profitable or that it will be able to successfully execute its business model and growth strategy. If ERL cannot execute its business model and growth strategy, it may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Future Acquisitions

As part of ERL’s business strategy, it may seek to grow by acquiring companies and/or assets or establishing joint ventures that it believes will complement its current or future business. Acquisition transactions involve inherent risks, including but not limited to: accurately assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates; ability to achieve identified and anticipated operating and financial synergies; unanticipated costs; diversion of management attention from existing business; potential loss of ERL’s key employees or key employees of any business acquired; unanticipated changes in business, industry or general economic conditions that affect the assumptions underlying the acquisition; and decline in the value of acquired properties, companies or securities. Any one or more of these factors or other risks could cause ERL not to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition of properties

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

or companies, and could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. ERL may not effectively select acquisition candidates or negotiate or finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel or acquire assets for our business. ERL cannot guarantee that it can complete any acquisition it pursues on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions completed will ultimately benefit its business.

Uncertainty of Additional Funding

There can be no assurance that ERL will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further business activities, and may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition. ERL will require new capital to grow its business and there are no assurances that capital will be available when needed, if at all. It is likely that such additional capital will be raised through the issuance of additional equity, which will result in dilution to shareholders.

Expansion of the Business Activities Outside Areas of Expertise

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and management of royalties or rights to or interest in commodities. In the future, ERL may pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring and/or investing in, producing, developing or exploration‐stage resource projects. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas would present challenges and risks that it has not faced in the past. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may have a material adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Market Events and General Economic Conditions May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business, Industry and Profitability

Adverse events in global financial markets can have profound impacts on the global economy.

Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations, high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange, precious metal, base metal and mineral markets and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect our growth and valuation. Specifically, the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity; the volatility of commodities and other metal prices would impact ERL’s revenues, profits, losses, cash flow and the value of our royalties; continued recessionary pressures could adversely impact demand for ERL’s assets; the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets would impact the valuation of our equity and other securities. These factors could have a material adverse effect on ERL’s financial condition and operating results.

Disease Outbreaks May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business

ERL’s business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID‐19”). ERL cannot accurately predict the impact COVID‐19 will have on third parties’ ability to meet their obligations with ERL, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. COVID‐19 has become a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact ERL’s operating results. The ultimate extent of the impact of any widespread global outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis on ERL’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis, such as COVID‐ 19, could therefore materially and adversely affect ERL’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Operational and Development Risk

ERL invests in the mineral exploration sector, which implicitly involves a high degree of risk caused by limited chances of discovery of an economic deposit and eventual mine development.

Uncertainty of Exploration Results and Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the operator of any given project will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals on lands where ERL holds or may hold royalties. If mineable deposits are discovered, substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained at all or on terms acceptable to the operator. Although ERL intends to only hold royalty interests and not be responsible for these expenditures, the operator may not be in a financial position to obtain the necessary funds to advance the project.

Development Stage Projects

Royalties from commercial operations will depend on a significant number of factors, including economic feasibility, changing market conditions, aboriginal involvement, environmental and governmental regulations, labour availability, the cost of and the ability to attract external financial capital, and the ability to attract partners with sufficient technical expertise and relevant industry experience to further develop the various projects. The mine operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the operator of any given project will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations. Any failure to meet one or a combination of these factors may result in project delays or potential cancellation and ERL’s future operating results may be adversely affected. ERL mitigates this risk by evaluating the economic potential of each property at each stage of its life cycle and through diversification of royalties.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Commodities are typically purchased in U.S. currency, which drives royalty income. However, ERL maintains its accounting records, reports its financial position and results, pays certain operating expenses and will have the Company’s shares listed on an exchange, in Canadian currency. Fluctuation in the U.S. currency exchange rate relative to the Canadian currency could negatively impact the value of the Company’s shares. Because exchange rate fluctuations are beyond our control, there can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not have an adverse effect on ERL’s operations or on the trading value of the Company’s shares.

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

Regulatory Change

ERL's operations as well as the operations the underlying projects in which the Company may hold royalty interests are subject to extensive governmental regulations with respect to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labour; mining law reform; restrictions on production or export, price controls and tax increases; aboriginal land claims; and expropriation of property in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Violations of these regulations and regulatory requirements could lead to substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions. ERL mitigates this risk through not doing business in unstable countries and, within stable countries, ERL follows all laws and regulations and engages legal counsel to ensure compliance, if necessary. ERL may be affected by changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or other taxes. Such changes could, depending on their nature, benefit or adversely affect ERL.

Litigation

ERL may from time to time be involved in various claims, legal proceedings and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. If such disputes arise and ERL is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability or results of operations and financial condition.

Leverage

ERL may use financial leverage by borrowing funds against the assets of ERL. The use of leverage increases the risk to ERL and subjects ERL to higher current expenses. Also, if the value of ERL’s assets drops to the loan value or less, shareholders could sustain a total loss of their investment.

No Opportunity to Hedge Commodities

There is no opportunity for ERL to hedge the downside price risk of all the commodities of interest since there is no derivatives market for all the commodities of interest. As a result, the value of the Company’s shares will largely depend upon, and typically fluctuate with, the price of commodities.

Impact from Other Commodities

Some of the commodities such as cobalt may be predominantly mined as a by‐product. Any effect on the price of the main commodities may affect the price and availability of the other commodities. Future pricing of commodities will depend, in part, on mine capacity and major producing countries, as well as the development of new projects. For example, a strong copper and/or nickel market will likely result in increased output of copper and nickel ores containing other commodities, which may impact the supply and price of those commodities.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of ERL’s directors may also serve as directors or officers, or have significant shareholdings in, other companies involved in the metals industry and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which ERL may participate, or in ventures in which ERL may seek to participate, the directors and officers of ERL may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In all cases where directors and officers have an interest in other companies, such other companies may also compete with us for the acquisition of royalties or other investments. Such conflicts of the directors and officers may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Management Experience and Dependence on Key Personnel and Employees

ERL is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, whose contributions to immediate and future operations of ERL are of significant importance. The loss of

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

any such members could negatively affect business operations. From time to time, ERL will also need to identify and retain additional skilled management and specialized technical personnel to efficiently operate its business. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition of royalties and interests in the metals industry is limited, and competition for such persons can be intense. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to ERL’s success and there can be no assurance of such success. If ERL is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, ERL’s ability to execute its business model and growth strategy could be affected, which could have a material adverse impact on its profitability, results of operations and financial condition. ERL does not intend to maintain “key man” insurance for any members of its management.

Specific Risks Related to Royalties

Royalties

While management of ERL believes that the acquisition of royalties in mineral properties containing battery and renewable energy‐related commodities will deliver attractive risk‐adjusted returns regardless of commodity cycles, there can be no assurance that any of ERL’s royalties will be successful or profitable, or that it will be able to acquire any successful or profitable Royalty investments. If ERL cannot acquire any successful or profitable royalty investments, it may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Rights of Third Parties

Some royalty interests may be subject to: (i) buy‐down right provisions pursuant to which an operator may buy‐back all or a portion of the royalty; (ii) pre‐emptive rights pursuant to which parties have the right of first refusal or first offer with respect to a proposed sale or assignment of the royalty; or (iii) claw back rights pursuant to which the seller of a royalty has the right to re‐ acquire royalty. Holders of these rights may exercise them such that certain royalty interests would not be available for acquisition.

Costs May Influence Return to Royalty Holder

Net smelter or net profit royalties, equity interests and similar interests allow the operator to account for the effect of prevailing cost pressures on the project before calculating a royalty. In the instance of net smelter royalties these cost pressures include smelting, refining and transportation cost. In the instance of net profits royalties, these cost pressures include costs of labour, equipment, electricity, environmental compliance, and numerous other capital, operating and production inputs. Such costs will fluctuate in ways the royalty holder will not be able to predict and will be beyond the control of such holder, and can have a dramatic effect on the revenue payable on these royalties and other interests. Any increase in the costs incurred by the operators on the applicable properties will likely result in a decline in the royalty revenue received by the royalty holder. This, in turn, will affect overall revenue generated by the royalty holder which may have a material adverse effect on its profitability, financial condition, and results of operation.

Dependence on Third Party Property Owners and Operators

Cash flows derived from royalties are based on operations by third parties. These third parties will be responsible for determining the manner in which the relevant properties subject to the royalties are exploited, including decisions to expand, continue or reduce production from a property, decisions about the marketing of products extracted from the property and decisions to advance exploration efforts and conduct development of non‐producing properties. As a holder of royalties or other interests, ERL will have little or no input on such matters. The interests of third party owners and operators and those of ERL on the relevant properties may not always be aligned. As an example, it will, in almost all cases, be in the interests of ERL to advance development and production on

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

properties as rapidly as possible in order to maximize near‐term cash flow, while third party owners and operators may, in many cases, take a more cautious approach to development as they are at risk on the cost of development and operations. The inability of ERL to control the operations for the properties in which it has a royalty or other interest may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Limited Access to Data and Disclosure

As a holder of royalties and other non‐operator interests, ERL neither serves as the mine owner or operator, and in almost all cases ERL has no input into how the operations are conducted. As such, ERL has varying access to data on the operations or to the actual properties themselves. This could affect its ability to assess the value of the royalties or enhance their performance. This could also result in delays in cash flow from that anticipated by ERL based on the stage of development of the applicable properties covered by its royalties. ERL’s royalty payments may be calculated by the payors in a manner different from ERL’s projections and ERL may or may not have rights of audit with respect to royalty interests. In addition, some royalties may be subject to confidentiality arrangements which govern the disclosure of information with regard to royalties and as such ERL may not be in a position to publicly disclose non‐public information with respect thereto. The limited access to data and disclosure regarding the operations of the properties in which ERL has an interest, may restrict its ability to assess the value or enhance its performance which may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Royalties May not be Honoured by Operators of a Project

Royalties are largely contractually based. Parties to contracts do not always honour contractual terms and contracts themselves may be subject to interpretation or technical defects. To the extent grantors of royalties and other interests do not abide by their contractual obligations, ERL may be forced to take legal action to enforce its contractual rights. Such litigation may be time consuming and costly, and as with all litigation, no guarantee of success can be made. Should any such decision be determined adversely to ERL, it may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Due Diligence May Not Reveal All Relevant Facts in connection with an Investment in a Royalty

The due diligence process undertaken by ERL in connection with any investments in royalties that it makes or wishes to make may not reveal all relevant facts in connection with an investment in such royalties. Before making an investment in a royalty, ERL will conduct due diligence investigations that it deems reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence investigations, ERL may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisors, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence investigations and making an assessment regarding an investment in a particular royalty or other interest, ERL will rely on resources available, including information provided by the of the investment and, in some circumstances, third party investigations. The due diligence investigations that are carried out with respect to any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. Moreover, such investigation will not necessarily result in the investment being successful.

Additional Risks

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and holding of royalties. In the future, ERL may elect to pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring direct interests

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Year ended December 31, 2019

in commodity properties or shares in commodity producers, explorers or technology developers. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas will present challenges and risks for which management may not have sufficient expertise. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Dependence on Payment from Operators

ERL will be dependent to a large extent upon the financial viability and operational effectiveness of owners and operators of the properties underlying its royalty portfolio. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. Payments may be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, recovery by the operators of expenses, the establishment by the operators of mineral reserves for such expenses or the bankruptcy, insolvency or other adverse financial condition of the operator. ERL’s rights to payment under the royalties must, in most cases, be enforced by contract without the protection of a security interest over property that ERL could readily liquidate. This inhibits ERL’s ability to collect outstanding payments owed on its royalties upon a default. In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other arrangement of an operator or owner, ERL will be treated like any other unsecured creditor, and therefore have a limited prospect for full recovery of royalty revenue. ERL mitigates this risk by having formal legal agreements with royalty payors, which would allow ERL to exert legal rights and enforce royalty contracts, if required.

1.1 Date

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of Electric Royalties Ltd. (“ERL” or the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Financial Statements”) as well as with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the related MD&As.

The Company reports in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The following disclosure and associated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with IFRS. All monetary amounts herein are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”), unless stated otherwise.

This MD&A is prepared as of June 14, 2020.

1.2 Overview

Incorporated on January 26, 2012 pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”),the Company’s name was changed from Hunter Dickinson Mining Limited to Electric Royalties Ltd. on July 10, 2019.

The head office and registered office of ERL is located at 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4H1.

ERL is currently a privately held royalty investment company in the natural resources (mining) sector.

ERL acquires revenue‐based and net smelter return royalties on operating mines, mines under construction, development stage mining projects and exploration stage resource projects (collectively hereinafter “Projects”) from operators of Projects looking to raise capital to develop or explore Projects or to recapitalise their balance sheets as well as existing royalties held by third parties (collectively hereinafter the “Royalty Sellers”). Net smelter returns are broadly defined as the net revenue (after smelting and refining costs) that the owner of a Project receives from the smelter or refinery for the mine's metal or mineral products less specified transportation and insurance costs and net smelter return royalties are a set percentage of the net smelter return (“NSR”). Gross revenue royalties entitle the royalty owner to a percentage of the gross revenue from the metals or minerals produced by a Project and sold (“GRR”).

ERL’s business objectives are to acquire a portfolio of long‐term, stable, and diversified royalty streams from Royalty Sellers and to provide shareholders with capital appreciation and a growing, sustainable, long‐term cash distribution over time.

ERL management has identified over 500 potential royalty acquisition opportunities, over operating, construction, development or exploration stage Projects, through provision of development capital or acquisition of pre‐existing royalties within ERL’s focus commodities of nickel, copper, graphite, cobalt, tin, lithium, manganese and vanadium (“Commodities”).

Traditional royalty‐based financing has been used extensively in the North American natural resource, consumer products, industrial manufacturing, industrial services, healthcare and food sectors.

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

ERL’s long‐term objectives will be achieved by:

  • Acquiring long‐term GRR and NSR royalties on Projects from Royalty Sellers;

  • Reinvesting royalty income to acquire new royalties on an ongoing basis to drive growth in ERL’s assets and returns;

  • Using debt financing to acquire additional royalties in order to enhance financial returns for shareholders; and

  • Maintaining a low operating cost structure when compared to mining companies.

Proposed Reverse Takeover

On January 28, 2020, the Company and Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel”) (TSXV: RBL.P), a capital pool company, entered into a definitive business combination agreement (“BCA”) pursuant to which Rebel will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (the “Proposed Transaction”). The BCA was subsequently amended as announced by Rebel on April 22, 2020. The Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute Rebel’s “Qualifying Transaction”, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a “three‐cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the BCBCA, pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate with a wholly‐ owned subsidiary of Rebel, which will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the current shares of Rebel will be consolidated on the basis of one new Rebel common share for every two existing common shares, resulting in a total of 2,330,000 post‐consolidation Rebel shares. Rebel will then acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at a ratio of one post‐consolidation Rebel share for every one Company share. The shareholders of the Company will be issued approximately 20 million post‐ consolidation Rebel common shares upon closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Although the Proposed Transaction will result in the Company becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, it will constitute a reverse takeover (RTO) for accounting purposes as the current shareholders of the Company will own a substantial majority of the common shares of the resulting group.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and a number of additional conditions precedent, including the completion of a private placement financing for a minimum aggregate gross amount of $3,500,000 at a price of $0.25 per common share.

There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed. If the Proposed Transaction is not completed because either of the parties elects not to proceed forward and/or breaches the definitive agreement, that party will be responsible for paying the other parties reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum of $70,000.

Globex Royalty Acquisitions Under Binding Letter Agreement

The Company entered into a binding letter agreement (“Royalty Portfolio Purchase Letter Agreement”) dated August 30, 2019 with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc., as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Royalty Portfolio Purchase Letter Agreement dated November 1, 2019 and further amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Royalty Portfolio Purchase Letter Agreement dated February 7, 2020, Amendment No. 3 to the Royalty Portfolio Purchase Letter Agreement dated March 25, 2020 and Amendment No. 4 to the Royalty Portfolio Purchase Letter Agreement dated April 1, 2020 (the “Globex Letter Agreement”) to acquire a portfolio consisting of six royalties (the “Globex Portfolio”) in exchange for 3,000,000 Company Shares and C$500,000 cash. The Company has made an advance cash payment of C$25,000 to Globex, to be held by Globex in trust, such payment to be accrued to and received by Globex on June 25, 2020. Such payment will be offset against the C$500,000 cash consideration due to Globex under the Globex Letter Agreement, and will be retained by Globex in the event of termination of the Globex Letter Agreement. In the event the Authier Lithium Project (as defined below) enters commercial production within six years of the Effective Date (as defined in the Globex Letter Agreement), the Company shall make a bonus payment of C$250,000 in cash to Globex, such payment to be due and payable on the date that the Authier Lithium Project achieves 12 months of continuous commercial production, as defined in the definitive feasibility study for the Authier Lithium Project. The contingent bonus will escalate annually with CPI. Pursuant to the Globex Letter Agreement, the Company must satisfy certain conditions precedent in order to close the acquisition of the Globex Portfolio, including completing a C$3,500,000 private placement by June 25, 2020. The Offering is intended to satisfy the private placement condition precedent.

The Globex Portfolio consists of the following royalties:

  1. Authier Lithium Royalty (the “Authier Royalty”) – The Authier Royalty is a 0.5% gross metal Royalty (“GMR”) on part of the Authier lithium project (the “Authier Lithium Project”) as set out in the Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 2018 among Globex, Sayona Québec Inc. (“Sayona Quebec”) and Sayona Mining Limited (the “Sayona Agreement”). The Authier Lithium Project is located in the municipality of Preissac in the Province of Quebec and comprises 19 mineral claims. The Authier Royalty is one quarter of the 2% GMR payable under the Sayona Agreement. Pursuant to the Sayona Agreement, a 2% GMR is payable to Globex on the actual proceeds derived from the sale of all metals, minerals or mineral compounds produced from the Authier Lithium Project by a refinery or another processing facility, including but not limited to lithium, lithium compounds, gold, silver and tungsten. No costs of any kind whatsoever shall be included in the calculation of the 2% GMR. The 2% GMR shall also apply to the revenue generated from the sale of aggregates or waste rocks or tailings from the Authier Lithium Project. At Globex’s option, the 2% GMR shall be paid in cash or in kind by the refinery or processing facility immediately upon delivery of the metal, mineral or mineral compounds. If Globex requests payment in cash, the dollar value of the 2% GMR will be deemed to be the dollar amount actually receipted by Sayona Québec, or if any portion of the minerals are sold to an Affiliate of Sayona Québec, an amount calculated by reference to the gross proceeds (pro‐rated in respect of quantity) received from the last sale to a party that was not an Affiliate of Sayona Québec, or, if no such transaction exists in the last 12 months, at a rate equal to prevailing industry benchmark pricing averaged over the calendar month of delivery. The Authier Royalty will be paid to Globex who will be responsible for onward payment to ERL.

 Nickel

In 2020, metal prices are being impacted significantly on the backdrop of concerns surrounding the COVID19 pandemic.

The metal prices provided herein are only indicative and are intended to present overall trends, as opposed to actual prices, which vary materially based on several factors, such as, metal grade, place of delivery, etc.

During 2019, average tin price was US$ 18,607/tonne, down 8% from last year’s average. Average tin price during the first quarter of 2020 was US$ 16,286/tonne, a decrease of 23% compared to the same period of the previous year. As of the date hereof, LME reported a cash price for tin as US$ 16,985/tonne.

In March 2020, Fastmarkets assessed the lithium carbonate (minimum 99.5% Li2CO3, battery grade) spot price at US$8.00/kg – US$9.50/kg, and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (minimum 56.5% LiOH2O, battery grade) spot price at US$9.50/kg – US$11.00/kg, both on a CIF China, Japan and Korea basis. In 2016 and 2017, lithium prices followed an overall upward trend and increased over the two year period from approximately US$ 8/kg to US$ 22/kg. In 2018, monthly average lithium carbonate spot prices decreased by approximately 50% from a peak of US$22.89/kg in February 2018 to US$11.28/kg by October 2018.

Graphite prices are determined based on direct negotiations between buyers and sellers and, because there is no spot or futures market for graphite, prices are provided by companies such as Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Fastmarkets based on periodic surveys of buyers and sellers. Graphite prices are categorized by flake size and purity, i.e. large flake (+80 mesh) and particularly XL flake (+50 mesh) and 94% plus carbon varieties command premium pricing. Currently, approximate price of large flake (+80 mesh, 94-97%C) is US$830/tonne.

The average reference price for standard grade cobalt in 2019 was US$ 16.57/lb, down 56% from US$ 37.35 /lb in 2018 according to Fastmarkets MB. The average price for cobalt was US$ 16.77/lb in the first quarter of 2020.

The average manganese ore prices (CIF China 44%) in 2019 was significantly (21%) down at US$ 5.63/dmtu from an average of US$ 7.16/dmtu in 2018. To date in 2020, manganese prices have been variable; a recent closing price was approximately US$ 4.5 /dmtu.

The average price of V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide flake 98%) was approximately US$18.30/lb in 2018, up from the 2017 average of US$6.52. However, vanadium prices followed an overall downward trend in 2019 and decreased to an average of approximately US$5.40/lb for V2O5 in the fourth quarter of 2019. At December 31, 2019, the price per lb of V2O5 was between US$4.80 and US$5.85; this increased to a range of between US$5.05 and US$6.10 at March 31, 2020. The average price of V2O5 for April 2020 was approximately US$6.45/lb.

The average price for copper in 2019 was US$ 2.72/lb (2018: US$ 2.96/lb; 2017; US$ 3.22/lb). In March 2020, copper prices dropped sharply in response to changing economic conditions related to COVID-19 but have rebounded somewhat since that time. A recent closing price is US$ 2.58/lb.

The average price for nickel was higher in 2019 compared to the average price for 2018. Average LME price of nickel in 2019 was US$ 6.32/lb (2018: US$ 5.95/lb; 2017; US$ 4.72/lb). The average price for nickel for the first quarter of 2020 was US$ 5.77/lb, which was 18% lower than the average price for the last quarter of 2019; the decrease was mainly due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Closing LME cash price of nickel as of the date hereof was US$ 5.72/lb.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has disclosure controls and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that any information required to be disclosed by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that required information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management so that decisions can be made about the timely disclosure of that information.

1.15.4 Risk Factors

General Risk Factors

Liquidity Concerns and Future Financing Requirements

ERL has no source of operating revenue. It may require additional financing in order to fund its business plan. ERL’s ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as its business success. There can be no assurance that ERL will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to it, or at all. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of the Company’s shares from treasury, control of ERL may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, ERL may not be able to operate its business at its maximum potential, to expand, to take advantage of other opportunities, or otherwise remain in business.

Volatility of Share Price

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of ERL include global macroeconomic developments, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in the price of commodities will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Company’s shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long‐term value of ERL. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders have instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial cost and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm profitability and the reputation of ERL.

Portfolio Exposure

There is no assurance that the investment objectives of ERL will actually be achieved. The value of the Company’s shares will increase or decrease with the value of its investment portfolio and general economic conditions beyond the control of ERL’s management, including the level of interest rates, corporate earnings, economic activity, the value of the Canadian dollar and other factors. There can be no assurance that the shareholders of ERL will realize any gains from their investment in ERL and may lose their entire investment.

Investments Made by ERL May Lack Liquidity

Due to market conditions beyond its control, including investor demand, resale restrictions, general market trends and regulatory restrictions, ERL may not be able to liquidate its royalty investments or other interests when it would otherwise desire to do so in order to operate in accordance with its Investment Policy and investment strategy. Such lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the value of ERL’s investments and, consequently, the value of the Company’s shares. There is no guarantee that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its investment portfolio.

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

Expenses incurred by ERL may exceed any gains realized by ERL on its royalty investments. ERL may invest in a limited number of royalties and, as a consequence, the aggregate returns realized by ERL may be substantially and adversely affected by the unfavourable performance of even a single royalty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to reduce its investment risk by diversifying its portfolio. The resulting lack of diversification may adversely impact the ability of ERL to achieve its desired investment returns.

Prospect of Dividends

ERL currently intends to use its future earnings, if any, and other cash resources for the operation and development of its business and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends on the Company’s shares. Any future determinations to pay dividends on the Company’s shares will be at the sole discretion of the Board after considering a variety of factors and conditions existing from time to time, including current and future commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens, and foreign exchange rates. As a result, a holder of Company’s shares may not receive any return on an investment in Company’s shares.

Market for the Shares

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s shares will develop or be sustained. If an active public market for the Company’s shares does not develop, the liquidity of a purchaser’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline.

The Forward Looking Statements May Prove to be Inaccurate

This document contains forward‐looking statements, including, without limitation, the forward‐ looking statements listed in “Forward Looking Statements”. By their nature, forward‐looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risk and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward‐looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. The factors discussed in this section and the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” should therefore be weighed carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward‐looking statements provided in this document.

Fluctuating Price of Commodities

Given the nature of ERL’s proposed investment activities, materially adverse fluctuations in the price of commodities may adversely affect the investments that will comprise ERL’s portfolio which may consequently adversely affect ERL’s profitability, financial performance and results of operations. Commodity prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of ERL, including levels of supply and demand, industrial development levels, inflation and the level of interest rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical events in significant commodities producing countries. Such external economic factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems and political developments. All commodities, by their nature, are subject to wide price fluctuations and future material price declines will result in a decrease in the revenue or, in the case of severe declines that cause a suspension or termination of production by relevant operators, a complete cessation of revenue from royalties or interests in mineral properties applicable to the relevant commodities. Moreover, the broader commodities market tends to be cyclical, and a general downturn in overall commodities prices or a significant strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could result in a significant decrease

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

in the value of our overall revenue. Any such price decline may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Changes in Technology and Future Demand for Commodities

Currently the commodities ERL focuses its investments on are some of the key metals used in batteries for EVs and other devices. However, the technology pertaining to batteries, EVs and energy creation and storage is changing rapidly, and there is no assurance that the commodities will continue to be used to the same degree as they are now, or that they will be used at all. Any decline in the use of commodities in EVs, batteries, renewable energy generation or technologies utilizing commodities based batteries may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Competition

Many companies are engaged in the search for and the acquisition of commodities, or rights to or interest in commodities, and there is a limited supply of desirable commodities related interests. Many competitors are larger, more established companies with substantial financial resources, operational capabilities and long earnings track‐records. ERL may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring interests in any commodities related assets, whether by way of royalty or other form of investment, as many competitors have greater financial resources and technical staff. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ERL will be able to compete successfully against other companies in acquiring new commodities related interests.

ERL’s inability to acquire additional commodities interests may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

No History

While many members of ERL’s management have expertise and industry experience, ERL itself has no operating history as an investment issuer upon which its business and affairs may be evaluated, and there can be no assurance that its business will be successful or profitable or that it will be able to successfully execute its business model and growth strategy. If ERL cannot execute its business model and growth strategy, it may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Future Acquisitions

As part of ERL’s business strategy, it may seek to grow by acquiring companies and/or assets or establishing joint ventures that it believes will complement its current or future business. Acquisition transactions involve inherent risks, including but not limited to: accurately assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates; ability to achieve identified and anticipated operating and financial synergies; unanticipated costs; diversion of management attention from existing business; potential loss of ERL’s key employees or key employees of any business acquired; unanticipated changes in business, industry or general economic conditions that affect the assumptions underlying the acquisition; and decline in the value of acquired properties, companies or securities. Any one or more of these factors or other risks could cause ERL not to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition of properties or companies, and could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. ERL may not effectively select acquisition candidates or negotiate or finance acquisitions or integrate the acquired businesses and their personnel or acquire assets for our business. ERL cannot guarantee that it can complete any acquisition it pursues on favourable terms, or that any acquisitions completed will ultimately benefit its business.

Uncertainty of Additional Funding

There can be no assurance that ERL will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further business activities, and may result in a material and adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition. ERL will require new capital to grow its business and there are no assurances that capital will be available when needed, if at all. It is likely that such additional capital will be raised through the issuance of additional equity, which will result in dilution to shareholders.

Expansion of the Business Activities Outside Areas of Expertise

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and management of royalties or rights to or interest in commodities. In the future, ERL may pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring and/or investing in, producing, developing or exploration‐stage resource projects. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas would present challenges and risks that it has not faced in the past. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may have a material adverse effect on its profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Market Events and General Economic Conditions May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business, Industry and Profitability

Adverse events in global financial markets can have profound impacts on the global economy.

Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations, high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange, precious metal, base metal and mineral markets and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect our growth and valuation. Specifically, the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity; the volatility of commodities and other metal prices would impact ERL’s revenues, profits, losses, cash flow and the value of our royalties; continued recessionary pressures could adversely impact demand for ERL’s assets; the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets would impact the valuation of our equity and other securities. These factors could have a material adverse effect on ERL’s financial condition and operating results.

Disease Outbreaks May Adversely Affect ERL’s Business

ERL’s business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID‐19”). ERL cannot accurately predict the impact COVID‐19 will have on third parties’ ability to meet their obligations with ERL, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. COVID‐19 has become a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact ERL’s operating results. The ultimate extent of the impact of any widespread global outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis on ERL’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of outbreak of contagious disease or other

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an outbreak of contagious disease or other health crisis, such as COVID‐ 19, could therefore materially and adversely affect ERL’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Operational and Development Risk

ERL invests in the mineral exploration sector, which implicitly involves a high degree of risk caused by limited chances of discovery of an economic deposit and eventual mine development.

Uncertainty of Exploration Results and Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the operator of any given project will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals on lands where ERL holds or may hold royalties. If mineable deposits are discovered, substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained at all or on terms acceptable to the operator. Although ERL intends to only hold royalty interests and not be responsible for these expenditures, the operator may not be in a financial position to obtain the necessary funds to advance the project.

Development Stage Projects

Royalties from commercial operations will depend on a significant number of factors, including economic feasibility, changing market conditions, aboriginal involvement, environmental and governmental regulations, labour availability, the cost of and the ability to attract external financial capital, and the ability to attract partners with sufficient technical expertise and relevant industry experience to further develop the various projects. The mine operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the operator of any given project will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations. Any failure to meet one or a combination of these factors may result in project delays or potential cancellation and ERL’s future operating results may be adversely affected. ERL mitigates this risk by evaluating the economic potential of each property at each stage of its life cycle and through diversification of royalties.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Commodities are typically purchased in U.S. currency, which drives royalty income. However, ERL maintains its accounting records, reports its financial position and results, pays certain operating expenses and will have the Company’s shares listed on an exchange, in Canadian currency. Fluctuation in the U.S. currency exchange rate relative to the Canadian currency could negatively impact the value of the Company’s shares. Because exchange rate fluctuations are beyond our control, there can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not have an adverse effect on ERL’s operations or on the trading value of the Company’s shares.

Regulatory Change

ERL's operations as well as the operations the underlying projects in which the Company may hold royalty interests are subject to extensive governmental regulations with respect to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labour; mining law reform; restrictions on production or export, price controls and tax increases; aboriginal land claims; and expropriation of property in

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

the jurisdictions in which it operates. Violations of these regulations and regulatory requirements could lead to substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions. ERL mitigates this risk through not doing business in unstable countries and, within stable countries, ERL follows all laws and regulations and engages legal counsel to ensure compliance, if necessary. ERL may be affected by changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or other taxes. Such changes could, depending on their nature, benefit or adversely affect ERL.

Litigation

ERL may from time to time be involved in various claims, legal proceedings and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. If such disputes arise and ERL is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability or results of operations and financial condition.

Leverage

ERL may use financial leverage by borrowing funds against the assets of ERL. The use of leverage increases the risk to ERL and subjects ERL to higher current expenses. Also, if the value of ERL’s assets drops to the loan value or less, shareholders could sustain a total loss of their investment.

No Opportunity to Hedge Commodities

There is no opportunity for ERL to hedge the downside price risk of all the commodities of interest since there is no derivatives market for all the commodities of interest. As a result, the value of the Company’s shares will largely depend upon, and typically fluctuate with, the price of commodities.

Impact from Other Commodities

Some of the commodities such as cobalt may be predominantly mined as a by‐product. Any effect on the price of the main commodities may affect the price and availability of the other commodities. Future pricing of commodities will depend, in part, on mine capacity and major producing countries, as well as the development of new projects. For example, a strong copper and/or nickel market will likely result in increased output of copper and nickel ores containing other commodities, which may impact the supply and price of those commodities.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of ERL’s directors may also serve as directors or officers, or have significant shareholdings in, other companies involved in the metals industry and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which ERL may participate, or in ventures in which ERL may seek to participate, the directors and officers of ERL may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In all cases where directors and officers have an interest in other companies, such other companies may also compete with us for the acquisition of royalties or other investments. Such conflicts of the directors and officers may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Management Experience and Dependence on Key Personnel and Employees

ERL is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, whose contributions to immediate and future operations of ERL are of significant importance. The loss of any such members could negatively affect business operations. From time to time, ERL will also need to identify and retain additional skilled management and specialized technical personnel to efficiently operate its business. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition of royalties and interests in the metals industry is limited, and competition for such persons can be intense. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to ERL’s success and there can be no assurance of such success. If ERL is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, ERL’s ability to

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

execute its business model and growth strategy could be affected, which could have a material adverse impact on its profitability, results of operations and financial condition. ERL does not intend to maintain “key man” insurance for any members of its management.

Specific Risks Related to Royalties

Royalties

While management of ERL believes that the acquisition of royalties in mineral properties containing battery and renewable energy‐related commodities will deliver attractive risk‐adjusted returns regardless of commodity cycles, there can be no assurance that any of ERL’s royalties will be successful or profitable, or that it will be able to acquire any successful or profitable royalty investments. If ERL cannot acquire any successful or profitable royalty investments, it may result in a material and adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Rights of Third Parties

Some royalty interests may be subject to: (i) buy‐down right provisions pursuant to which an operator may buy‐back all or a portion of the royalty; (ii) pre‐emptive rights pursuant to which parties have the right of first refusal or first offer with respect to a proposed sale or assignment of the royalty; or (iii) claw back rights pursuant to which the seller of a Royalty has the right to re‐ acquire the royalty. Holders of these rights may exercise them such that certain Royalty interests would not be available for acquisition.

Costs May Influence Return to Royalty Holder

Net smelter or net profit royalties, equity interests and similar interests allow the operator to account for the effect of prevailing cost pressures on the project before calculating a Royalty. In the instance of net smelter royalties these cost pressures include smelting, refining and transportation cost. In the instance of net profits royalties, these cost pressures include costs of labour, equipment, electricity, environmental compliance, and numerous other capital, operating and production inputs. Such costs will fluctuate in ways the Royalty holder will not be able to predict and will be beyond the control of such holder, and can have a dramatic effect on the revenue payable on these royalties and other interests. Any increase in the costs incurred by the operators on the applicable properties will likely result in a decline in the royalty revenue received by the Royalty holder. This, in turn, will affect overall revenue generated by the Royalty holder which may have a material adverse effect on its profitability, financial condition, and results of operation.

Dependence on Third Party Property Owners and Operators

Cash flows derived from royalties are based on operations by third parties. These third parties will be responsible for determining the manner in which the relevant properties subject to the royalties are exploited, including decisions to expand, continue or reduce production from a property, decisions about the marketing of products extracted from the property and decisions to advance exploration efforts and conduct development of non‐producing properties. As a holder of royalties or other interests, ERL will have little or no input on such matters. The interests of third party owners and operators and those of ERL on the relevant properties may not always be aligned. As an example, it will, in almost all cases, be in the interests of ERL to advance development and production on properties as rapidly as possible in order to maximize near‐term cash flow, while third party owners and operators may, in many cases, take a more cautious approach to development as they are at risk on the cost of development and operations. The inability of ERL to control the operations for the properties in which it has a Royalty or other interest may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Page | ��

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

Limited Access to Data and Disclosure

As a holder of royalties and other non‐operator interests, ERL neither serves as the mine owner or operator, and in almost all cases ERL has no input into how the operations are conducted. As such, ERL has varying access to data on the operations or to the actual properties themselves. This could affect its ability to assess the value of the royalties or enhance their performance. This could also result in delays in cash flow from that anticipated by ERL based on the stage of development of the applicable properties covered by its royalties. ERL’s royalty payments may be calculated by the payors in a manner different from ERL’s projections and ERL may or may not have rights of audit with respect to royalty interests. In addition, some royalties may be subject to confidentiality arrangements which govern the disclosure of information with regard to royalties and as such ERL may not be in a position to publicly disclose non‐public information with respect thereto. The limited access to data and disclosure regarding the operations of the properties in which ERL has an interest, may restrict its ability to assess the value or enhance its performance which may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Royalties May not be Honoured by Operators of a Project

Royalties are largely contractually based. Parties to contracts do not always honour contractual terms and contracts themselves may be subject to interpretation or technical defects. To the extent grantors of royalties and other interests do not abide by their contractual obligations, ERL may be forced to take legal action to enforce its contractual rights. Such litigation may be time consuming and costly, and as with all litigation, no guarantee of success can be made. Should any such decision be determined adversely to ERL, it may have a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Due Diligence May Not Reveal All Relevant Facts in connection with an Investment in a Royalty

The due diligence process undertaken by ERL in connection with any investments in royalties that it makes or wishes to make may not reveal all relevant facts in connection with an investment in such royalties. Before making an investment in a royalty, ERL will conduct due diligence investigations that it deems reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence investigations, ERL may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisors, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence investigations and making an assessment regarding an investment in a particular royalty or other interest, ERL will rely on resources available, including information provided by the of the investment and, in some circumstances, third party investigations. The due diligence investigations that are carried out with respect to any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. Moreover, such investigation will not necessarily result in the investment being successful.

Additional Risks

ERL’s operations and expertise are currently focused on the acquisition and holding of royalties. In the future, ERL may elect to pursue acquisitions outside this area, including acquiring direct interests in commodity properties or shares in commodity producers, explorers or technology developers. Expansion of ERL’s activities into new areas will present challenges and risks for which management may not have sufficient expertise. If ERL does not manage these challenges and risks successfully, it may result in a material adverse effect on ERL’s profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

ELECTRIC ROYALTIES LTD. Management's Discussion And Analysis Three months ended March 31, 2020

Dependence on Payment from Operators

ERL will be dependent to a large extent upon the financial viability and operational effectiveness of owners and operators of the properties underlying its royalty portfolio. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. Payments may be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, recovery by the operators of expenses, the establishment by the operators of mineral reserves for such expenses or the bankruptcy, insolvency or other adverse financial condition of the operator. ERL’s rights to payment under the royalties must, in most cases, be enforced by contract without the protection of a security interest over property that ERL could readily liquidate. This inhibits ERL’s ability to collect outstanding payments owed on its royalties upon a default. In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other arrangement of an operator or owner, ERL will be treated like any other unsecured creditor, and therefore have a limited prospect for full recovery of royalty revenue. ERL mitigates this risk by having formal legal agreements with royalty payors, which would allow ERL to exert legal rights and enforce royalty contracts, if required.

Electric Royalties Ltd. Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position As at March 31, 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. PROPOSED TRANSACTION

Electric Royalties Ltd. (the “Company” or “ERL”) and Rebel Capital Inc. (“Rebel”) entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the Amalgamation Agreement (together referred to as “BCA”) on January 28, 2020 that was subsequently amended on April 22, 2020. The BCA provides for the reverse takeover (the “Transaction”) of Rebel by the Company by way of a “three‐cornered” amalgamation under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (BCBCA), pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate with a wholly‐ owned subsidiary of Rebel and Amalco will become a wholly‐owned subsidiary of the resulting issuer (“RI”).

Although the Transaction will result in ERL becoming a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, it will constitute a reverse takeover ("RTO") for accounting purposes as the former ERL shareholders will own a substantial majority of the common shares of the RI and all members of the Board of Directors except Craig Lindsay, a current director of Rebel, and management of the RI will be designees of ERL. Upon completion of the Transaction, the business of the Company will be the continuation of the business of ERL. In connection with the completion of the Transaction, Rebel intends to change its name to "Electric Royalties Ltd." or such other name as may be agreed upon by the parties. Completion of the Transaction is subject to various conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Subject to compliance with TSXV policies, Rebel will complete a consolidation of its common shares at a ratio of two (2) pre‐consolidation common shares for one (1) post‐consolidation common share concurrently with or immediately prior to and as a condition of the closing of the Transaction. The number of common shares issuable on exercise of Rebel share purchase options shall be adjusted accordingly based on the consolidation ratio. Following the consolidation, Rebel will have 2,330,000 common shares outstanding and 100,000 options (“CPC Options”) outstanding and exercisable with an exercise price of $0.20.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to, among other things, the completion of a concurrent private placement financing (note 3(d)). Additionally, upon completion of the Transaction, the RI expects to complete acquisition of certain royalty interests (note 3(f)).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position (the " Pro Forma Statement") of the Company has been prepared by management from information derived from the unaudited condensed interim financial statements of ERL as at March 31, 2020 and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Rebel as at March 31, 2020, both of which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), together with other information available to the Company. The Pro Forma Statement to which these notes relate has been prepared for inclusion in the filing statement of Rebel dated June 16, 2020 (the "Filing Statement") to be filed by Rebel in conjunction with the

Page 3

Electric Royalties Ltd. Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position As at March 31, 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Transaction. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Filing Statement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, Rebel intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares (the "Target Shares") of ERL, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, causing ERL to become a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel. The Pro Forma Statement gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on March 31, 2020.

It is management's opinion that the Pro Forma Statement includes all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the Transaction, as described in note 1. The Pro Forma Statement should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of ERL and financial statements and notes thereto of Rebel. The Pro Forma Statement is not necessarily indicative of the financial position of the continuing entity had the proposed Transaction been effected on the dates indicated. The pro forma assumptions and adjustments (note 3) and allocations of the purchase price of Rebel by ERL as a reverse takeover transaction are based in part on estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The final valuation will be based on the actual assets and liabilities of Rebel that exist as of the date of completion of the acquisition.

The Pro Forma Statement is presented in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

3. PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

  • (a) The acquisition of ERL by Rebel is expected to be effected by way of a three‐cornered amalgamation, whereby ERL will amalgamate with a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, and the RI, which will be a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Rebel, will continue to carry on the business of ERL.

Legally, Rebel will be the parent of ERL. However, as a result of the Transaction, control of the combined companies will pass to the former shareholders of ERL in a share exchange referred to as a “reverse takeover.”

The RTO involving a non‐public operating entity, in this case ERL, and a non‐operating public entity, in this case Rebel, is in substance a reverse asset acquisition rather than a business combination as Rebel does not meet the definition of a business, as defined in IFRS 3, Business Combinations . The transaction is equivalent to the issuance of shares by ERL for the net assets of Rebel accompanied by the recapitalization of ERL.

  • (b)

  • In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting:

  • i) The assets and liabilities of ERL are included in the Pro Forma Statement at their carrying values;

  • ii) The net assets of Rebel are included at their fair value of $83,484, equal to the carrying value of the net assets given the current nature of the net assets. The difference between the estimated fair value of the ERL shares issued to Rebel shareholders less

Page 4

Electric Royalties Ltd. Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position As at March 31, 2020 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

the net fair value of the assets of Rebel acquired is recorded as an expense. The carrying amount of Rebel’s equity is eliminated.

carrying amount of Rebel’s equity is eliminated.
Amount
Fair value of 2,330,000 shares of the RI determined with reference to $ 582,500
the offering price of the concurrent financing (note 3(d))
Fair value of 100,000 options of the RI (note 4(b)) 14,000
Value of shares and options to be issued to shareholders and
optionholders of Rebel 596,500
Net assets acquired:
Cash $ 138,206
Trade payables (54,722) (83,484)
Difference between estimated fair value of RI shares issued less fair
value of net assets acquired included in accumulated deficit $ 513,016

In addition, an estimated $300,000 will be incurred as professional and regulatory costs (note 3(e)). These costs will be expensed when incurred.

  • (c) Immediately prior to, or concurrently with, the Transaction, Rebel will undertake a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of two (2) pre‐consolidation common shares for one (1) post‐consolidation common share. The number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the CPC Options will be adjusted accordingly.

  • (d) A private placement of a minimum 14,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $3,500,000 at $0.25 per share to be completed concurrently with the Transaction. Estimated issuance costs are $210,000 resulting in net proceeds of $3,290,000.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Investment Objective

The Resulting Issuer’s business objectives are to acquire a portfolio of long-term, stable, and diversified royalty streams on mineral projects. The Resulting Issuer’s long-term objectives will be achieved by:

  • acquiring royalty streams on a diversified portfolio of mineral projects focussed on minerals that will support the electrification of transportation, renewable energy generation and battery storage;

  • reinvesting royalty income and interest to acquire new royalties on an ongoing basis to drive growth;

  • maintaining a low operating cost structure (relative to other natural resource companies);

  • using debt financing to acquire additional royalties in order to enhance financial returns for shareholders;

  • balancing commodities exposure by assessing exposure to the various individual metals and minerals in the Resulting Issuer’s targeted metals and minerals universe. Royalties over non-core metals and minerals may be acquired as part of larger transaction or on an opportunistic basis; and

  • investing in Royalties from Projects at various stages, from producing or construction-ready and fully-permitted to exploration stage, with a focus on producing or near production assets to grow free cash flow per share over the long term with investments across earlier stages of the mine life cycle to maintain exposure to a robust collection of development-stage assets.

The Resulting Issuer’s Royalty investments are typically protected by registering the Royalty against the property title (where allowed) or by prioritizing contractual protections in order to enhance the security of the Royalty.

Investment Process

Below is a summary of the investment process followed:

  • a) Management will review projects and meet with (i) Project Owners to discuss Royalty financing proposals, and (ii) Royalty holders to discuss Royalty acquisitions.

  • b) Technical and other consultants working closely with ERL will undertake preliminary due diligence of all data available, including technical reports, and summarize the technical risks and opportunities of the projects.

  • c) Management will enter into discussions on royalty financing terms with the Project Owner or Royalty acquisition terms with the Royalty holder.

  • d) Management will prepare an investment memorandum for the Board outlining the investment thesis for the proposed Royalty financing and/or acquisition including the terms on which a financing or acquisition would be of interest to the Resulting Issuer.

  • e) The Board will review the information and provide input, and decide whether or not to advance discussions, negotiate terms and sign a letter of intent.

  • f) Upon signing a letter of intent, the Resulting Issuer will conduct additional technical and legal due diligence which may include but not be limited to tax advice, legal advice on jurisdictional royalty policies, resource data compilation, metallurgy and processing review, commodity pricing research and financial model analysis.

  • g) If all due diligence is completed satisfactorily, a final investment proposal will be sent to the Board including all of the findings from the due diligence for a final decision on whether to make an investment or not.

TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE ON THE BISSETT CREEK PROJECT

The information set out below is summarized from the Bissett Creek Technical Report, a copy of which is available on Northern Graphite’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The scientific and technical information regarding the Bissett Creek Project contained in this Filing Statement has been summarized from or is based on (i) the Bissett Creek Technical Report available on Northern Graphite’s SEDAR profile; (ii) Northern Graphite’s news release dated February 28, 2018 announcing updated financial metrics for the Bissett Creek Technical Report available on Northern Graphite’s SEDAR profile; (iii) the information disclosed in the Bissett Creek AIF available on Northern Graphite’s SEDAR profile; and (iv) information disclosed in the Bissett Creek Mine Environmental Study Report prepared by Stantec Consulting Ltd. dated August 19, 2019 available on Northern Graphite’s website.

Property Description and Location

The Bissett Creek Project is located in the United Townships of Head, Clara and Maria, in the County of Renfrew in the Province of Ontario, approximately 300 km northeast of Toronto and 200 km west of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Access to the property is obtained via 15 km of gravel road located 53 km east of the town of Mattawa off Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 17).

History and Exploration

The Bissett Creek Project was first staked by Frank Tagliamonte and Associates in 1980. Donegal Resources Ltd.(“ Donegal ”) optioned the property in the same year. Limited work was performed by Donegal prior to its relinquishing the option. In 1981, Hartford Resources Inc. (“ Hartford ”) optioned the property and staked an additional 24 claims. In 1982 Hartford carried out a program of line cutting/ VLFEM surveying and trenching. In 1984, Princeton Resources Corporation (“ Princeton ”) acquired a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek Project through its acquisition of Hartford.

In 1984 Princeton completed a program of property reconnaissance, road and grid line surveys, followed by geological mapping, trenching, trench sampling, bulk sampling and diamond drilling. In 1985 Princeton continued its exploration work with the extension of geological grid mapping over the center of the property, magnetic survey, diamond drilling, and bulk sampling. A pilot plant was constructed on site and 4,000 t were mined from three sites.

In November 1986, North Coast Industries Ltd. (“ North Coast ”) entered into an option agreement with Princeton whereby North Coast would earn a 58% interest in the Bissett Creek Project by building a batch testing plant, extracting a bulk sample and producing flake product for end user tests. North Coast was awarded its 58% in June of 1987, and subsequently acquired Princeton’s remaining 42% interest on February 6, 1989. From its option in 1986 up to 1989, North Coast completed geological mapping, outcrop sampling, trenching, bulk sampling, resource estimates and engineering studies. These studies culminated in a prefeasibility study in 1987 and a feasibility study completed in April 1989. The feasibility study and resource estimate were not completed in accordance with NI 43-101 and therefore should not be relied upon.

In 2002, Industrial Minerals Canada Inc. (“ IMI ”) took over ownership of the property and attempted to develop a dry process for graphite recovery. IMI changed its name to Northern Graphite Corporation in December 2009.

In 2007 IMI produced a technical report on the Bissett Creek Project. Northern Graphite completed additional drilling, surveying, topographic surveys and geophysics from 2010 through 2011.

In July 2012, G Mining Services Inc. prepared the NI 43-101 Technical Report – Bankable Feasibility Study on the Bissett Creek Project, Canada for Northern Graphite dated August 23, 2012 (the “ NG FS ”). On September 23, 2013, based on additional drilling a resource and reserve update for the NG FS was developed by AGP Mining Consultants. These results culminated in the completion of the Bissett Creek Technical Report. The Bissett Creek Technical Report was updated on February 28, 2018 with current prices and exchange rates (the “ 2018 PEA Update ”).

Geological Setting, Mineralization, and Deposit Types

The Bissett Creek Project lies within the Ontario segment of the Central Gneiss Belt of the Grenville Structural Province. Mapping of the area indicates that the Bissett Creek Project and the surrounding area are underlain by Middle Precambrian meta-sediments. The host rock to the graphite is a medium to coarse-grained, grey, quartz-rich gneiss. The three main gneisses that are found on the property are the graphitic gneiss, the barren gneiss and the transitional graphitic gneiss. The Bissett Creek deposit is classified as disseminated flake graphite in silica-rich metasediments. The graphite at the deposit tends to be associated with biotite. Sulphides appear in the graphitic gneiss at a sulphur content ranging between 0.8% and 1.86%. The western edge of the graphitic gneiss is truncated by erosion. The eastern limit of graphite outcrop is determined by the overlying barren gneiss contact. The limits of graphitic gneiss exposure form an irregular area with a north-south length of 2.1 km; east-west dimensions reach a maximum of 1.2 km. The graphitic gneiss exposure tapers dramatically toward the north and south before being lost through structural displacement or erosion.

Drilling

A major program was conducted by Princeton in 1985, where a total of 5,156 m were drilled and a 4,000-t bulk sample was extracted for pilot plant testing. Additional drilling occurred in 1986 and 1987. In 2007, IMI completed six vertical diamond drill holes for a total of 246 m. In 2010, Northern Graphite conducted another drilling program to validate historical data, to extend the mineralized zone and to upgrade inferred resources into indicated resources. In 2012, a 61-hole drill program was performed to infill a significant portion of the previous inferred resources with the objective of upgrading them to the measured and indicated categories. In addition, the potential for higher grade zones to extend outside of the current resource model was tested.

Sample Analyses and Data Validation

Graphite is evaluated and marketed on its flake size, carbon content and ash content. Flake size is determined with standard “tyler” sieve size openings. The ash content is determined by qualitative spectrographic analysis.

During the course of the Bissett Creek Project, the carbon content was evaluated using various methods, including double loss-on-ignition LECO, and coulomtry. The LECO method was considered to produce the most reliable readings; however locked cycle testing led to a discrepancy of 4% to 12% between direct and reconstituted head grades. In 2012 the assay method was investigated to identify the source of the discrepancies. The final concentrates were re-assayed using the DLOI method and results confirmed the original LECO data, thus suggesting that the direct head grade of the composites using in locked cycle testing were understated. Repeat analysis of the head samples with different assay methods and by different labs led to the conclusion that the sample preparation conditions and the leach conditions and acid used for the graphitic carbon analysis were to aggressive, thus leaching some of the graphite. Consequently, the 4% to 12% difference between direct and constituted head grades were attributed primarily to the conditions and specific assay method used in the determination of the head grades.

There is no documentation on the QA/QC procedures for the drilling conducted in the 1980s. Starting in 2010, Northern Graphite introduced a QA/QC programs with blanks, standards, and duplicates. This program continued in 2012 with the addition of a matrix match reference material that was developed specifically for Northern Graphite using mineralized material from the Bissett Creek Project deposit. The historical drill holes were validated by SGS Canada Inc. using five twinned holes drilled as part of the 2010 drill campaign.

In 2012 after review of QA/QC data performance for blanks, duplicates, and reference material, the Qualified Person for AGP Mining Consultants Inc. concluded that drill analyses had sufficient precision and repeatability to support mineral resources.

Mineral Resource Estimate

The mineral resource was estimated using Ordinary Kriging to interpolate Cg into a block model with block sizes of 8m x 8m x 3m (x,y,z). Prior to interpolation the mineralised zone was partitioned into higher grade and lower grade domains based on raw assay probability plots. A barren gneissic unit was modeled to limit mineralisation and several interior barren zones were also interpreted. In addition, a surface was developed to represent the hard rock/overburden contact and a LIDAR survey completed to develop a high resolution topography surface.

High grade data was not capped prior to interpolation, however its influence was limited through a sample search restriction set at a threshold of 6% Cg. Based on the small range of bulk density results, the entire model was set to a density of 2.72 g/cm[3] with the exception of the overburden which was set to a density of 1.8 g/cm[3] .

Kriging parameters including nugget, structures and range were obtained from variographic analysis however the search strategy was modified to accommodate the geometry of the mineralized zones. Several sub-domains were defined within which the search ellipse orientation was modified to better accommodate the orientation of the mineralisation.

A resource classification scheme was developed based on a blocks distance to the closest sample. The classification of any given block could also be modified based on the number of historical holes

informing the block. Isolated blocks were upgraded or downgraded in their classification based on the class value of surrounding blocks.

Mine Planning and Operations

The Bissett Creek Project is expected to be mined by open pit methods proceeding in nine phases. The life of the mine is expected to be 22 years at an average production rate of 1.8 Mtpa. Mill feed from the mine will be crushed by a mobile jaw crusher, and conveyed to a stockpile. Crushed mill feed will then be reclaimed to the concentrator building. The mill feed will then go through successive steps of grinding, flotation and screening on progressively finer particles. The objective is to produce a high grade graphite concentrate, but also to preserve as much as possible the large size of the graphite flakes to maximize the value of the concentrates. The graphite concentrate will be thickened to remove excess water, before being filtered and dried then bagged and sold.

The Bissett Creek Project will require specific infrastructure to be built in order to support the mining and processing operations. Natural gas will be transported to the site by truck in the form of compressed natural gas from a compressor station to be built approximately 15 km east of project on the large gas pipeline that parallels the trans-Canada highway. Support buildings and infrastructure will include water pumping stations, water treatment for waste water disposal and for potable use. A dry storage warehouse will be built near the processing plant. Offices and an assay and metallurgical laboratory will be included inside the concentrator building. Services such as change rooms and lunch room will be integrated into the office complex. A diesel storage area will be built in order to store fuel for the owner’s mining and support fleet. The access road will be upgraded to facilitate site access. A haul road will be built to allow haulage of mill feed to the processing facility. Service roads will be built to allow access to the tailings management facilities and to the pumping stations. The tailings will be stored in two separate storage facilities. The non-deleterious tailings management facility will store the neutral, non-acid generating tailings. The sulphides tailings management facility will store the tailings with acid generating potential. These tailings will be kept under water to avoid chemical reaction with the ambient air.

Permitting

The Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines has approved Northern Graphite’s Mine Closure Plan (“ MCP ”) which authorizes Northern Graphite to build and operate the mine. Due to a number of design and operational improvements made to enhance project economics and to the passage of time, Northern Graphite is now required to file an amendment to the MCP. Northern Graphite is also in the very advanced stages of finalizing a number of other authorizations and permits including the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s provincial Class Environmental Assessment which relates to the construction and upgrade of crown roads and water crossings and harvesting of crown timber, a Permit to Take Water under the Ontario Water Resources Act and authorizations under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act .
