Business Overview and Corporate Update

Description of the Business

The Company is currently focused on identifying suitable assets or businesses to acquire or merge with, with a view to maximizing shareholder value. The Company was previously engaged in the business of evaluating, acquiring and exploring mineral properties, but the business failed. The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 8, 2006.

Corporate Update and Outlook

On March 1, 2004, the Company entered into a Mining Property Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement for the right to acquire up to a 100% in the Harmony claim block (subject to a 1% new production royalty), comprising 9 claims in the Hualapai Mining District of Mohave County, Arizona. The agreement required a series of payments totaling US$100,000 (completed in the year ended September 30, 2007).

At September 30, 2012, management determined that the development of the project had been delayed and that market conditions were difficult. An impairment review concluded that a write down of the property to $1 was required at that time. The Company attempted, without success to vend the claims to interested parties. No further work was done and the claims were eventually dropped.

On Monday, March 11, 2013, the Company received notice from the TSX Venture Exchange that the Corporation's common shares were suspended from trading effective March 8, 2013, as a result of a Cease Trade Order ("BCSC CTO") issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"). The CTO was issued because the Corporation was delayed in filing its first quarter financial statements, management discussion and analysis, and officer certifications for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") issued a cease trade order (the "ASC CTO") against the Company on June 10, 2013 for the Company's failure to complete its financial filings. The shares were delisted on March 11, 2015.

The Company has been dormant from September 30, 2012 to December 31, 2020.

On April 27, 2021, the Company received partial revocation orders from the BCSC and the ASC authorizing the Company to complete a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $70,000, through the issuance of 56,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.00125 per common share (the "Offering"). The Company completed the Offering on June 2, 2021. The Company has applied for full revocations of the BCSC CTO and ASC CTO.

The Company's assets were written off in 2013 and the Company's liabilities were reclassified as statute barred in 2015.

The Company's business is managed by the directors and officers and augmented by independent professionals retained to advise the Company on its business.

Changes to Board of Directors and Management

Effective February 2, 2021, Pamela Egger hasresigned from the Board. The Company also announced that Greg Poleman resigned April 5, 2013 and Alan Stevenson resigned November 10, 2013. The Company has appointed Nikolai Vassev, Sidonio Gonsalves and John Kasakevich to the Board in order to fill the vacancies created by the foregoing resignations. In addition, Nikolai Vassev has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

In accordance with International Accounting Standards 24, key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company directly or indirectly, including any directors (executive and non-executive) of the Company.

The Company did not report any remuneration of directors and key management personnel for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Financial Condition

Cash Flow

At September 30, 2020, the Company held cash of $Nil. The working capital changes during 2020 reflected the accrual to prepare and audit the financial statements. The working capital did not change during 2019.

Cash of $70,000 was raised via a private placement of 56,000,000 common shares on June 2, 2021. Cash will be used to reduce payables and pay operating expenses, mostly related to working with regulators to solve deficiencies in the Company's public listing.

Payables and accruals $ 10,750

70,000

Critical Accounting Estimates and Changes in Accounting Policies

All significant critical accounting estimates are fully disclosed in Note 2 of the financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had negative working capital of as of September 30, 2020 of $8,500 (September 30, 2019 - $Nil). The Company held no cash as at September 30, 2020 (September 30, 2019 - $Nil).

Management is currently reviewing alternative sources of capital to meet its obligations and short-term working capital requirements. While the Company plans to continue to monitor closely its spending, conditions in the capital markets continue to make it difficult for companies without viable businesses to raise additional capital. The Company may require substantial additional capital to fund any new project or complete any potential corporate transaction.

Historically, the Company has used the net proceeds from issuances of its securities to provide sufficient funds for it to meet its operational plans and other contractual obligations when due. However, given the current market conditions affecting the small capitalization sector, the current trading price of the Company's common shares and other uncertainties discussed herein, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds on favorable terms, or at all, in order to carry out its objectives. As mentioned elsewhere in this MD&A, the Company is evaluating various strategic alternatives and, if it decides to pursue any such alternative, it may also require additional funds to carry out its strategic plans in amounts that cannot be determined as of the date hereof, which funds may also be unavailable to the Company on favorable terms or at all.

Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Factors

IFRS require that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company carried cash of $Nil at fair value, being Level 1 assets. The Company had no other financial instruments carried at fair value to classify in the fair value hierarchy.

As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, carrying amounts of cash approximate fair market value instruments. Amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the statement of financial position are recorded at their amortized cost.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. There have been no changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from previous periods.

(a) Credit Risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to cash and cash equivalents, and financial instruments included in amounts receivable is remote.

(b) Liquidity Risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations when due. At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $Nil (September 30, 2019 - $Nil) available to settle current liabilities of $8,500 (September 30, 2019 - $Nil). The Company's accounts payable are subject to normal trade terms.

(c) Market Risk

The Company is exposed to the following market risks:

(i) Interest Rate Risk

The Company has no cash and cash equivalents balances and no variable interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

(ii) Foreign Exchange Risk

While the Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, major purchases could be transacted in Canadian dollars or United States dollars. As at September 30, 2020, the Company does not hold foreign currency balances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had 62,699,001 common shares issued and outstanding. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had 6,699,001 common shares issued and outstanding. The Company had no warrants and no stock options outstanding at September 30, 2020 or at the date of this MD&A.

Risk Factors

Until a business combination is completed, the Company's risk factors are those related to a successful corporate transaction. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent upon its ability to find and close a corporate transaction. Other risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.

The risks, objectives, policies and procedures from previous years have been adjusted to reflect the pursuit of a corporate transaction. Other risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.

Current Global Financial Conditions and Trends

Securities of small capitalization companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the securities of companies is also significantly affected by short-term changes in the economic and political environments in the countries in which the Company does business. As of September 30, 2020, the global economy continues to be in a period of significant economic volatility, in large part due to US, European, and Middle East economic and political concerns which have impacted global economic growth.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposing quarantine period and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown currently, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. 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.

Dependence on Key Individuals

The Company's business and operations are dependent on retaining the services of a small number of key individuals. The success of the Company is, and will continue to be, to a significant extent, dependent on the expertise and experience of these individuals. The loss of one or more of these individuals could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not maintain insurance on any of its key individuals.

Capital Management

The Company considers its capital to consist of shareholders' equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support identifying suitable assets or businesses to acquire or merge with, with a view to maximizing shareholder value. The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company currently is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out future activities and pay on-going administrative costs, the Company will raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new business opportunities if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no significant changes in the Company's approach to capital management in the year ended September 30, 2020. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company announced that Pamela Egger, Greg Poleman and Alan Stevenson have resigned from the Board. The Company has appointed Nikolai Vassev, Sidonio Gonsalves and John Kasakevich to the Board in order to fill the vacancies created by the foregoing resignations. In addition, Nikolai Vassev has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Corporate Transactions

The Company could pursue corporate transactions with the ultimate goal to effect a business combination. There is no assurance that a such a transaction could be reached or, even if a transaction is entered into, the transaction will close on the disclosed terms or at all.
