MINERAL HILL INDUSTRIES LTD. FORM 51-901F

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial results For the year ended December 31, 2020 Containing information up to and including March 19, 2021

The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition of Mineral Hill Industries Ltd. (the “Company” or “MHI”) and the financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2020. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes as at, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Reference should also be made to the Company’s filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, which are available at www.sedar.com.

This MD&A is the responsibility of management. The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for the review of this disclosure directly and through its audit committee. The majority of the audit committee is comprised of independent directors who review and, prior to its publication, approve, pursuant to the authority delegated to it by the Board of Directors, this disclosure.

All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Current market conditions

Certain global pandemic conditions causing financial uncertainties are having a negative impact on the general economic environment. As a direct result, the company is in the process of reevaluating its business direction. Access to public financing is very limited in certain industry segments, especially for junior development companies. If the current market conditions continue, the Company’s ability to operate may be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Company’s shares could continue to be under pressure.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. While this had not had a material impact on the Company to date, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

Overview

The Company is a reporting issuer in Alberta and British Columbia and its common shares are trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “MHI” and are also co-listed on the Frankfurt quotation platform in Germany under the symbol “MLN” and OTC Markets in the USA.

Up to the end of 2014, MHI was actively engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resources within the mineral segment. During the years from 2014 to 2016 the Company experienced extreme difficulties in raising sufficient funds for mining exploration due to the economic climate within that sector.

During the last quarter of 2015, the Company started to investigate its alternative opportunities for the exploration of natural resources within the oil & natural gas industry as well as the possibility to combine its future interest in proprietary waste-to-energy converting technologies. After some engagement and serious due diligence of certain

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial results For the year ended December 31, 2020 Containing information up to and including March 19, 2021

opportunities within that resource sector the Company, in 2019, decided to change its business direction and pursue an involvement within the USA real estate industry after receiving a substantial financing offer in connection with very valuable real estate assets qualifying for a unique UP-REIT structure, as referred to in the Company’s News Releases and its year-end MD&A filed with SEDAR.ca. Some of those to be acquired assets were agricultural properties which were leased to cannabis-cultivators and dispensaries leased to retail-operators with considerably high cash flow.

On January 28, 2020, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) followed by the Definitive Acquisition Agreement (“DA-Agr”). The proposed transaction would have resulted in a reversed Takeover (“RTO”) and a change of the Company’s business direction as stated in its announcement of February 3, 2020.

The Company received the announced funding commitments in the amount of CAD $2,226,381 including the $43,000 in subscriptions received in advance in 2019, relating to the subscription of 2,226,381 common shares at a deemed issue price of CAD $1.00 per share.

Unfortunately, a listing application of the proposed transaction could not be finalized and submitted to the TSXV, since under the policies of the exchange, in particular publicized in a TSXV bulletin of 2017, all acquisitions generating more than maximal 10% of the Company’s ancillary income from cannabis related projects would not have been approved.

On December 24, 2020, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive Earn-In Option Agreement (“EIO Agreement”) with Cardinal Geoconsulting Ltd. (“Owner”) to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Dot-Apex Claim Group (“Apex Claims”) and the Master-ACE Claim Group (“ACE Claims”), located in south-western British Columbia. The Apex Claims consist of contiguous claim cells totalling 2,406.13 hectares and the ACE Claims totalling 695.09 hectares.

Under the EIO Agreement MHI has the irrevocable option to acquire an initial 20% interest in the Apex-Claims (the “First Apex Option”) by: (a) paying to the Owner $10,000 cash; (b) issuing 100,000 common shares to the Owner; and (c) incurring or funding $84,728 of exploration expenditures on the Apex Claims before the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The Effective Date is the later of (i) the date the EIO Agreement is approved by the TSXV and (ii) the closing of PP1 (as described below).

Subject to the Company having exercised the First Apex Option, the Owner will grant the Company a second option to acquire a further 80% interest in the Apex Claims, bringing its total earned interest from 20% to 100%, by: (a) paying to the Owner $15,000 cash; (b) issuing 150,000 common shares to the Owner; and (c) incurring or funding $125,000 of exploration expenditures on the Apex Claims before the second anniversary of the Effective Date.

Under the EIO Agreement, MHI has the option to acquire an initial 20% interest in the ACE Claims (the “ First ACE Option ”) by: (a) paying the Owner $10,000 cash; (b) issuing 100,000 common shares to the Owner; and (c) incurring or funding $47,300 of exploration expenditures on the ACE Claims before the first anniversary of the ACE Effective Date. The ACE Effective Date is the later of the date on which the First Apex Option Exercise

Notice is delivered to the Owner and closing of PP2 (as described below in the Financing section).

Subject to the Company having exercised the First ACE Option, the Owner will grant the Company a second option to acquire a further 80% interest in the ACE Claims, bringing its total earned interest from 20% to 100%, by: (a) paying the Owner $15,000 cash; (b) issuing 150,000 common shares to the Owner; and (c) incurring or funding $74,100 of exploration expenditures on the ACE Claims before the second anniversary of the ACE Effective Date.

The Owner will retain a 2% net profit interest royalty on the Apex Claims and the ACE Claims.

Highlights of Events

The following are highlights of events occurring during the year ended December 31, 2020 and subsequent thereto:

On February 03, 2020, the Company announced the execution of the Definitive Acquisition Agreement (“DA-Agr”) with Southern Colorado Real Estate Ventures Holdings LLC (“SCRH”) and its negotiated private placement financings PP1, PP2, PP3 and PP4, based on a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) announced on October 9, 2019. SCRH is incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida, USA holding real estate assets in Florida and Colorado consisting of real estate tracts and properties, assembled over the past five years and leased to RV-parks, agriculture cultivation centers and cannabis dispensaries in Florida and Colorado.

The Company designated part of the proceeds of PP1 for general working capital purposes and allocated part of the proceeds as a bridge financing to SCRH. Out of the CAD $2,226,381 accounts, CAD $600,000 was designated for working capital purposes. The Company advanced USD $425,000 (CAD $559,210) for the benefit of SCRH in order for SCRH to secure interests in various property assets.

As the Company’s loans to SCRH for the aforementioned property deals did not receive acceptance from the TSXV and upon the TSXV’s request to unwind PP1 , the Company’s Board of Directors, after thorough discussions between MHI’s management and SCRH, resolved to unwind its announced private placement “PP1” and return all of the funds received from the PP1 investors in order to fully comply with TSXV rules and policies.

The majority of participants of MHI’s initial private placement funding (“PP1”), announced on February 3[rd] , 2020, invested on the premise that all real estate projects, including the cannabis related properties, would become assets of the Resulting Issuer subsequent to the TSXV approval. This could not materialize as under the policies of the exchange material acquisitions of U.S. business or assets ancillary to the Cannabis industry would not be approved.

In a press release dated May 15[th] , 2020 the Company announced that it had unwound the PP1 placement by returning all of the funds to the subscribers and executed a Mutual Termination Agreement with SCRH terminating the Definitive Acquisition Agreement and releasing the parties from all obligations related thereto. As part of the unwinding of the PP1 placement, promissory notes executed in connection with the USD $425,000

($559,210 CAD) advanced for the benefit of SCRH were transferred to certain subscribers in the Private Placement in lieu of a return of their subscription funds.

On December 24, 2020 the company announced that it had entered into a definitive EarnIn-Option Agreement (“EIO Agreement”) with Cardinal Geoconsulting Ltd. (“Owner”) to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Dot-Apex Claim Group (“Apex Claims”) and the Master-ACE Claim Group (“ACE Claims”), located in south-western British Columbia. The Apex Claims consist of contiguous claim cells totalling 2,406.13 hectares and the ACE Claims totalling 695.09 hectares. Details are explained in the Overview section.

Overall Performance

Financing

As disseminated in the news release dated December 24, 2020, the Company intends to complete two financings in connection with the EIO Agreement, PP1 and PP2, whereby PP1 will be a “unit offering” to raise up to $180,000 and the proceeds will be dedicated for general working capital including the cash payments due to the Owner, and PP2 will be a “flow-through” share offering, to raise up to $300,000 and the proceeds will be dedicated for exploration of the Apex Claims and to update the existing Geological Assessment Reports to a Technical Report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The terms of the financings are subject to the Company’s market price after its shares resume trading on the TSXV. The Company intends to raise further funds subsequent to PP1 and PP2 in order to exercise the ACE Options.

As at September 30, 2018, Merfin Management Limited (”Merfin”), a private holding company, of which Dieter Peter is President, provided accumulated cash advances of $1,002,681 that were used for property payments, general working capital in order to keep the Company in good standing and meet its administrative obligations including the required fees to regulatory bodies as well as consulting fees from 2013 to January 2014 and accrued interest for the aforementioned. The outstanding loan from Infogen Research Limited (“Infogen”), a private company controlled by Andrew von Kursell, a director of the Company, amounted to $90,826 for providing consulting services from 2013 to February 2014. Since 2013 and 2014 Mr. Peter and Mr. von Kursell respectively provided unpaid services for their responsibilities in their capacities as Officers and Directors of the Company which was always disclosed in its financial statements.

The Company’s independent Directors, acting in good faith, having approved all previous insider loans, have determined that the issuance of common shares in the capital of the Company is preferable to large and long outstanding insider loans and reasonable in the current circumstances of the Company. The issuance of those shares had no impact on the Company’s share capital and was not creating a new control person. Both Merfin and Infogen showed faith in the future of the Company and investors can be assured that any future funds raised will not be used to pay off those particular outstanding insider loans.

On October 17, 2018 the Company announced that it had received TSXV approval for its submitted request dated September 25, 2018 to issue 6,468,910 common shares to Merfin Management Limited (“Merfin”) and 585,975 common shares to Infogen respectively to eliminate the long outstanding insider-loans provided until September 30, 2018. The

shares will have no warrants attached and the cost of $0.155 per share was calculated based on the weighted average trading price for the previous two months.

Both, Merfin and Infogen agreed voluntary to a minimum holding period of four months from the issuance date.

On January 31, 2019 and on April 17, 2019, the Company received advances for subscriptions of $28,000 and $15,000 respectively.

On December 6, 2019, the Company received notice to exercise 80,000 options into common shares at a price of $0.30 per share.

On December 16, 2019 the Company received notice to exercise 50,000 options into common shares at a price of $0.30 per share.

As at April 20, 2020 the Company had received subscription agreements in the amount of $2,183,381 which were returned in full by May 15, 2020 by unwinding PP1. Subscriptions received in advance in the amount of $43,000 were fully repaid as at December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received advances totaling $262,066 from Merfin Management Limited (“Merfin”) of which $237,501 were recorded in accounts payable.

Being at the development stage, the Company did not generate any revenue from operations. The decrease in loss of $34,811 was mainly attributable to:

  1. an increase of $5,891 in bank charges and interest from $2,989 in 2019 to $8,880 in 2020 due to mainly bank charges in connection with the private placement an accrued interest on a loan;

The Company has historically relied upon equity financings to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend heavily upon equity capital to finance its activities. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms. The Company has limited financial resources, has presently no source of operating income and has no assurance that additional funding

MINERAL HILL INDUSTRIES LTD. FORM 51-901F

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial results For the year ended December 31, 2020 Containing information up to and including March 19, 2021

will be available to it for future exploration and development of its projects, although the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities through the sale of equity securities and support from insiders. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions, the commodity prices and the Company’s production and exploration success. The global securities markets have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. Any quoted market for the common shares may be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenue, cash flows or earnings.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company had been engaged in the exploration of natural resources in the past and has decided to continue its original business direction through careful due diligence by establishing an experienced and knowledgeable operation team but the Company cannot assure its investors and shareholders that it will be able to operate such acquired projects successfully or profitable and complete additional suitable investments resulting in attractive risk-adjusted returns to its shareholders which over the long term will generate sufficient cash flow and generate capital appreciation.

The following are some of the key risks and uncertainties identified; however, there may be other risks and uncertainties that would include:

  • the availability of opportunities for investments;

  • an increase in competition to acquire suitable projects throughout the world or other adverse circumstance may make it not possible for the Company to finance additional acquisitions and/or the Company may be unable to invest its proceeds from future financings on acceptable terms;

Page 10 of 13

MINERAL HILL INDUSTRIES LTD. FORM 51-901F

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial results For the year ended December 31, 2020 Containing information up to and including March 19, 2021

  • additional new laws, amid the present pandemic, that are unfavorable to the business of the Company may be enacted and current favorable laws related to resource business may be modified or eliminated in the future;

  • the Company is dependent on key personnel and key advisors for the success of any transaction. The departure of any of its executive officers or key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as additional costs will be incurred to find replacements or additional availability of experts;

  • the Company’s growth depends to a great deal on external sources of capital, which may not be available at acceptable terms or at all. In addition, financial institutions may be reluctant to enter into lending transactions with the Company.

  • the Company expects that most of its initial acquisitions will be start-up prospects and may be unable to pay subsequent development funds, which could adversely affect the Company’s investments funds available for any mine development or otherwise impair the value of investments for its shareholders;

  • compliance with environmental laws could materially increase the Company’s operating expenses;

Financial Instruments

The Company’s present financial instruments consist of cash and equivalents, receivables, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties and, in the future, possibly corporate bonds and other financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is presently not exposed to significant interest payments, currency or credit risks arising from any financial instruments generated from none arms-length parties.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and contributions from related parties. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and equivalents and marketable securities with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Amounts due to and from related parties are discussed in Note 9 of the financial statements.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company has historically relied solely upon equity financings and loans from insiders to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend heavily upon equity capital to finance its activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms. The Company anticipates the need of additional capital in the future to finance ongoing explorations and acquisitions, such capital cannot be derived from the exercise of

outstanding stock options, warrants but more so through the completion of additional equity financings or other financing instruments available to the Company. The Company will have no operating income in the near future and has no assurance that additional funding or alternative financing instruments will be available to it for future acquisitions, although the it has been successful in the past in financing its activities through the sale of equity securities and insider loans. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and operational success of its current mineral assets. In recent years, the securities markets in Canada and globally have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in prices for qualifying projects will not occur. Any quoted market for the common shares may be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenue, cash flows or earnings.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates relate primarily to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those reported.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of judgements and estimates that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made. Management had classified the subscriptions proceeds as liabilities until the equity related to the subscription proceeds is issued, at which time these proceeds will be reclassified as equity.

Changes in Accounting Policies

IFRS 16, specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee The IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, in January 2016, which replaces the current guidance in IAS 17. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease and an operating lease. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a “rightof-use asset” for virtually all lease contracts. The IASB has included an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. IFRS 16 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have an impact on the Company.

There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC Interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.
