DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Logica Ventures Corp. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 6, 2019 and is classified as a Capital Pool Corporation, as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).
The principal business of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company has not commenced operations and has no assets other than cash. The Company’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 disinterested shareholders.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, and reasonable general and administrative expenses not exceeding $3,000 per month are permitted, with no cumulative maximum. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company, as defined under the policies of the Exchange. Where a Qualifying Transaction warrants, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments may be dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing. On April 7, 2022, the shareholders of the Company voted in favor for the removal of the consequences associated with the Company not completing a QT within 24 months of its listing date, which was, prior to being amended, previously prescribed by CPC Policy 2.4.
The head office and the registered head office of the Company is located at 365 Bay Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2V1.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On December 19, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,000,000 common shares at a purchase price of $0.10 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000. Echelon Wealth Partner Inc. (“the Agent”) in connection with the Offering received a cash commission of $30,000, equal to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the common shares. The Agent also received 300,000 agent warrants. Each agent warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months.
On March 25, 2021 the Company announced the resignation of directors Paul Mesburis and Robert Kidd. Mr. Kidd also resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company is in the process of expediently appointing two new directors to the board and finding a suitable candidate for the role of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
On May 6, 2021, the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) issued a cease trade order (the “Cease Trade Order”) against the Company pursuant to National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions and its securities have been halted from trading on the Exchange.
On March 7, 2022, Mr. Thomas Tweoldemedhin resigned from his position as a director of the Company. Mr. Ryan Roebuck and Mr. Clayton Fisher were appointed as directors of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Dylan Pillay was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Other than the foregoing, there are no significant activities to report during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2021.
TRENDS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
For the immediate future, the Company intends to work towards completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company continues to monitor its spending and will amend its plans based on business opportunities that may arise in the future. Management regularly monitors economic conditions and estimates their impact on the Company’s operations and incorporates these estimates in both short-term operating and longer term strategic decisions.
Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, material uncertainties may arise that could influence management’s going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:
-
the severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus, and their effect on service provider availability, such as legal and accounting;
-
purchasing power of the Canadian dollar;
-
ability to complete a Qualifying Transaction; or
-
ability to obtain funding.
At the date of this MD&A, the Canadian federal government and the provincial government of Ontario have not introduced measures that have directly impeded the activities of the Company. Although cash has declined over the period, the Company believes the activities of the Company will continue and accordingly the current situation bears no impact on management’s going concern assumption. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
Apart from these and the risk factors noted under the heading “Risks and Uncertainties” below, management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” were issued in May 2020, and are effective on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The amendments update references within IFRS 3 to the 2018 Conceptual Framework and require that the principles in IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” be used to identify liabilities and contingent assets arising from a business combination. Adoption of these amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.
No Operating History
The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. Until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
Possible Trading Suspension or Delisting
The Exchange may suspend from trading or delist the securities of the Company where the Company fails to comply with the policies of the Exchange. Suspension from trading of the common shares, and delisting of the common shares, will result in the regulatory securities authorities issuing an interim cease trade order against the Company.
Halt of Trading
Upon public announcement of a potential Qualifying Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Qualifying Transaction.
Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval, as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4. Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Qualifying Transaction; the Exchange may not approve a Qualifying Transaction (a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon completion of a Qualifying Transaction; (b) if, following completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws; (c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or (d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.

Logica Ventures Corp. (a Capital Pool Company) Management's Discussion and Analysis Year Ended December 31, 2021 Dated - April 11, 2022
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change and subscribers may suffer dilution of their investment.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors and officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Directors and Officers
The directors and officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. As a consequence of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Additionally, directors and officers of the Company may also serve as directors and/or officers of other reporting issuers from time to time.
The Company has not purchased "key-man" insurance, nor has it entered into non-competition and non- disclosure agreements with management and has no current plans to do so.
Foreign Acquisition
In the event the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.
Loans or Advances
Subject to prior acceptance from the Exchange, the Company may be permitted to loan or advance up to an aggregate of $250,000 ($25,000 without prior Exchange approval) of its proceeds to a target business without requiring shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the loan or advance.
