Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made, and readers are advised to consider such forward-looking statements in light of the risks as set forth in the following discussion.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Yuntone Capital Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 6, 2008 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and is classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4. The principal business of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets or a business and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation in a business subject to receipt of shareholder approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities.

The Company does not currently have operations or assets capable of generating ongoing revenues or cash flows and it did not complete a Qualifying Transaction within the time specified by TSX-V Policy 2.4., which is generally 24 months from the date its shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V. As a result, the company’s shares are currently listed on the NEX board of the TSX-V.

Effective at the opening on August 23, 2011, the Company's listing was transferred to NEX Board of TSXV and trading was reinstated in the securities of the Company. The trading symbol for the Company changed from YTC.P to YTC.H.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company recorded a net loss of $33,946 ($0.00 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was an increase as compared to a net loss of $6,232 ($0.00 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The increase in net loss in the current period was mainly due to higher accounting fees, filing fees, professional fees and transfer agent fees incurred, as the Company works towards completing the proposed qualifying transaction.

The Company had no revenue, paid no dividends and had no long-term liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

The following table sets forth selected financial information from the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements for each of the eight most recently completed quarters.

(1)The basic and fully diluted calculations result in the same value due to the anti-dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants if any.

The net loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was higher compared to other recent periods as a result of higher accounting fees, filing fees, professional fees and transfer agent fees incurred, as the Company works towards completing the proposed qualifying transaction. The net loss in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was higher compared to other recent periods, as the Company incurred higher consulting and professional fees in order to find and complete a qualifying transaction. The net loss in the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was higher compared to other recent periods as a result of the write-off of promissory note receivable for $24,999. Changes in total assets and working capital are a function of equity financings, less operating costs of the Company.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

There were no share capital activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $386,064 and a working capital of $352,353 (December 31, 2020 - cash of $412,725 and a working capital of $386,299). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $26,661.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the costs of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its primary source of operating working capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by its ability to compete for investor support of its projects.

YUNTONE CAPITAL CORP. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2021

The Company incurred a net loss of $33,946 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As at March 31, 2021, the Company has a cumulative deficit of $736,180. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors and generating profitable operations in the future. On March 11, 2020, various authorities declared a pandemic related to COVID 19 resulting in restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. These restrictions are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. The pandemic could have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to complete a Qualifying Transaction and raise new capital. The Company believes that these potential delays are temporary and it expects to resume its pursuits as restrictions are alleviated. The duration and effects of the restrictions are not currently determinable and no provision has been made in these financial statements for any effects that the Company may experience if the restrictions are other than temporary.

Although the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a going concern basis, the factors outlined above raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, in which case this basis of presentation will not be appropriate. The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

CURRENT SHARE DATA

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has 16,357,069 common shares issued and outstanding, has 466,666 escrow shares remaining and no stock options outstanding.

TERMINATED QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

On August 11, 2019, the Company entered into an arm’s length business combination agreement with GrowX and 1160015 B.C. Ltd. (“Subco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, whereby the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of GrowX (the “Terminated Transaction”). The Terminated Transaction was to proceed by a three-cornered amalgamation by the parties, whereby GrowX and Subco would amalgamate to form GrowX Cannabis Inc. (“Amalco”), resulting in Amalco being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Terminated Transaction was to constitute the Company's qualifying transaction under the policies of the TSX-V.

On August 28, 2019, the Company advanced $25,000 to GrowX in exchange for a promissory note issued by GrowX. The promissory note bore interest at a rate of 5% per annum, and was due and payable on August 28, 2020. The promissory note is now past due.

On April 1, 2020 the Company announced that it had terminated its previously announced proposed qualifying transaction as GrowX failed to satisfy custom closing conditions.

PROPOSED QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

On October 23, 2020, the Company entered into an amalgamation agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Mantaro Silver Corp. (“Mantaro”), a private British Columbian company, whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mantaro (the “Transaction”). Mantaro holds a 100% interest in five silver-focused Peruvian mineral properties, consisting of its flagship, Santas Gloria Silver and the San Jose Silver Properties as well as the La Purisima, Cerro Luque and Huaranay Properties (the “Silver Properties”). The Company intends the Transaction to constitute a Qualifying Transaction under the TSX-V Policy 2.4. Upon successful completion of the Transaction, the Company will be a Tier 2 mining issuer.
