Escrowed Securities:

Risk Factors:

All Common Shares of the Issuer issued at less than $0.10 per Share prior to this Offering, representing an aggregate of 11,200,000 Shares, will be deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of the CPC Escrow Agreement and will be released from escrow in stages over a period of up to 18 months from the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. See “Escrowed Securities” .

Investment in the Offered Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development. The Issuer was only recently incorporated and has no active business or assets other than cash. The Issuer does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Issuer and can afford to risk the loss of their entire investment. The directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Issuer and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Issuer will be subject in connection with the operations of the Issuer. Assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution (based on the gross proceeds from the Offering and prior issuances without deduction for selling commissions or related expenses) per Common Share of 9.15% or $0.00915 if the Offering is realized. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Issuer has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction.

The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce judgments against such persons or companies obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada. See “Business of the Issuer”, “Directors, Officers and Promoter”, “Capitalization”, “Dilution” and “Risk Factors” .

The Issuer was incorporated on April 26, 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) under the name “H2 Ventures 1 Inc.”.

The head office is located at 2695 Queenswood Dr., Victoria, BC, V8N 1X6, and the registered and records office address is located at 1700 - 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2E9. The Issuer does not have any subsidiaries.

BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER

Preliminary Expenses

The Issuer will pay the Agent’s expenses in connection with the Offering, subject to a maximum of $50,000 (plus disbursements and applicable taxes). The Issuer has also paid $5,000 (plus applicable taxes) to the Exchange as part of its listing fees and paid $9,440 with respect to filing fees incurred in connection with filing this Prospectus. Certain of the Offering proceeds will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Issuer related to the Offering, including the expenses of its auditor and legal fees, the fees of the Exchange, the Agent’s commission, legal fees and expenses and the fees of the securities regulatory authorities. See “ Use of Proceeds ”.

Proposed Operations until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. The Issuer has not conducted commercial operations or initiated the process of identifying potential acquisitions or interests. The Issuer currently intends to pursue a Qualifying Transaction in the hydrogen, fuel cell and clean energy industries but there is no assurance that either sector will, in fact, be the business sector of a proposed Qualifying Transaction or of the Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under “ Use of Proceeds ”, the funds raised pursuant to this Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

Although the Issuer has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer has not yet entered into an Agreement in Principle.

Method of Financing

The Issuer may use cash, bank financing, the issuance of treasury shares, private or public debt or equity financing or a combination of these for the purpose of financing its proposed Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction financed by the issuance of treasury shares could result in a change of control of the Issuer and may cause the shareholders’ interest in the Issuer to be further diluted .

  • 4 -

Criteria for a Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer will consider acquisitions of assets or businesses operated or located both inside and outside of Canada, as permitted by the CPC Policy. The board of directors will examine proposed acquisitions having regard to the sound business fundamentals, utilizing the expertise and experience of the directors of the Issuer. The board of directors of the Issuer must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith having regard to the best interests of the Issuer and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Process of Identification of a Qualifying Transaction

The Issuer proposes to identify acquisitions of interests in assets or businesses through discussions with various business associates and contacts of the Issuer’s directors. Once a prospective acquisition target has been identified and evaluated, the Issuer will proceed to negotiate the terms upon which it may acquire an interest in the asset or business.

Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction

Upon the Issuer reaching a Qualifying Transaction Agreement, the Issuer must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Common Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied as set forth under “ Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting ”. Within 75 days after issuance of such news release, the Issuer shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange either an information circular that complies with applicable corporate and securities laws (a “ CPC Information Circular ”) or a filing statement (a “ CPC Filing Statement ”) that complies with Exchange Policies containing prospectus level disclosure of the Significant Assets and the Issuer, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction (each, a “ Disclosure Document ”). Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer must obtain Majority of the Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange will not require the Issuer to obtain shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction provided that it files the CPC Filing Statement. Once the Disclosure Document has been accepted for filing, the Exchange will advise the Issuer that it is cleared to file the final Disclosure Document on SEDAR and:

  • (a) where shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction is not required, the Issuer must file the final CPC Filing Statement on SEDAR at least seven business days prior to:

  • (i) the resumption of trading in the securities of the Resulting Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Issuer are halted from trading; or

  • (ii) the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Issuer are not halted from trading;

  • (b) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained at a meeting of shareholders, the Issuer will file on SEDAR and mail to its shareholders the notice of meeting, CPC Information Circular and form of proxy, together with any other required documents; and

  • (c) where shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained by written consent, the Issuer will file on SEDAR the final Disclosure Document.

  • 5 -

Unless granted an exemption by the Exchange, the Issuer will also be required to retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange or a Participating Organization (as set out in the definition of “Participating Organization” in Exchange Policy 1.1) of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with Exchange Policies. The Issuer will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final QT Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:

  • (a) confirmation of shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, if required;

  • (b) confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and

  • (c) all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.

Upon issuance of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply to the Issuer, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy.

Initial Listing Requirements

The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange’s Initial Listing Requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable Exchange Policies.

Trading Halts, Suspension and Delisting

The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of a Qualifying Transaction Agreement until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which includes the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgment Form, where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, personal information forms or, if applicable, declarations for all individuals who may be directors, officers, promoters, or insiders of the Resulting Issuer must be filed with the Exchange and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable must be completed before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.

Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate the halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:

  • (a) the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer, or

  • (b) the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, Completion of the Qualifying Transaction are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.

A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Issuer fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of 75 days after public announcement of the Agreement in Principle or if the Issuer fails to file post-meeting or final documents, as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.

In the event that the Common Shares are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Issuer shall wind up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its

  • 6 -

shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Issuer, determine the deal with the Issuer or its remaining assets in some other manner. See “Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction” above.

Refusal of Qualifying Transaction

The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may not accept a Qualifying Transaction where:

  • (a) the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction;

  • (b) the Resulting Issuer will be a mutual fund, as defined in applicable securities legislation; or

  • (c) notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

The CPC Escrow Agreement provides that the Common Shares may not be sold, assigned, hypothecated, transferred within escrow or otherwise dealt with in any manner without prior consent of the Exchange. The CPC Escrow Agreement provides that if the holder of the escrowed shares becomes bankrupt, the Common Shares will be transferred within escrow to the trustee in bankruptcy or to such other person as is legally entitled to the Common Shares. The CPC Escrow Agreement further provides that upon the death of the holder of the escrowed shares, the Common Shares will be released from escrow and certificates for the Common Shares will be delivered to the legal representative of the deceased shareholder.

Where the Common Shares of the Issuer which are required to be held in escrow are held by a nonindividual (a “ holding company ”), each holding company will agree, pursuant to the CPC Escrow Agreement, not to carry out any transactions during the currency of the CPC Escrow Agreement which would result in a change of control of the holding company, without the consent of the Exchange. Any holding company must also sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize any issuance of securities or transfer of securities that could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.

Under the CPC Escrow Agreement:

  • (a) all CPC Stock Options granted prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and all Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, other than CPC Stock Options that were granted prior to the Issuer’s IPO with an exercise price that is less than the issue price of the Common Shares under this Prospectus and any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options which will be released from escrow in accordance with (b);

  • (b) except for the CPC Stock Options and Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of such CPC Stock Options that are released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin as provided for in (a), all of the securities held in escrow will be released from escrow in accordance with the following schedule:

Release Date Percentage to be Released

TOTAL: 100%
  • 16 -

The Exchange’s prior consent must be obtained before a transfer within escrow of escrowed Common Shares. Generally, the Exchange will only permit a transfer within escrow to be made to existing Principals of the Issuer and/or to incoming Principals in connection with a proposed Qualifying Transaction.

If a Final QT Exchange Bulletin is not issued, the escrowed Common Shares will not be released. Under the CPC Escrow Agreement, upon the issuance by the Exchange of a bulletin delisting the Issuer, the Trustee is irrevocably authorized to:

  • (a) immediately cancel all of the escrowed Common Shares held by each Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Issuer that were issued at a price below the Offering Price under this Prospectus and all CPC Stock Options held by such person; and

  • (b) cancel all of the escrowed securities on a date that is 10 years from the date of such bulletin.

Escrowed Securities on Qualifying Transaction

Generally, in connection with the Qualifying Transaction, subject to certain exemptions, all securities of the Resulting Issuer held by Principals of the Resulting Issuer will be required to be escrowed in accordance with Exchange Policies.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Offered Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development. The following is a list of risk factors that a prospective investor should consider before subscribing for Offered Shares:

  1. the Issuer was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings, and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction (see “ Business of the Issuer ” above);

  2. investments in the Offered Shares offered by this Prospectus is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development;

  3. the directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Issuer and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time (see “ Directors, Officers and Promoters ” above);

  4. assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution to its investment of 9.15% or $0.00915 per Common Share (see “ Dilution ” above);

  5. there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop, and an investor may find it difficult to resell their Common Shares;

  6. 27 -

  7. until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions (see “ Business of the Issuer ” above);

  8. the Issuer has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction (see “ Use of Funds ” above);

  9. even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to successfully complete the transaction; the failure to complete a Qualifying Transaction could result in the delisting of the Common Shares from the Exchange, and the entire loss of a purchaser’s investment;

  10. Completion of the 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 (see “ Business of the Issuer – Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction ” above);

  11. unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with 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 Issuer of fair value for the Common Shares;

  12. upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares of the Issuer will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained (if required) and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. The Common Shares of the Issuer may be reinstated to trading before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Issuer completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction (see “ Business of the Issuer - Filings and Shareholder Approval of the Qualifying Transaction ” above);

  13. trading in the Common Shares of the Issuer may be halted at other times for other reasons, including without limitation, for failure by the Issuer to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required;

  14. neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  15. if management of the Issuer resides outside of Canada or the Issuer 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;

  16. the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Issuer and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Issuer (see “ Dilution ” above);

  17. subject to prior Exchange acceptance, the Issuer may be permitted to loan or advance up to an

  18. 28 -

aggregate of $250,000 of its proceeds to a target business without requiring shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to recover that loan (see “ Use of Funds – Permitted Use of Funds ” above); and

  1. the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first reported from Wuhan, China in December 2019, and the spread of this virus could continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, which may adversely impact the Issuer’s business. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak and characterized it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 223 countries, areas or territories, including China, the United States, Canada, and countries in the European Union. The extent to which the outbreak impacts the Issuer’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the actual and threatened spread of the coronavirus globally could also have a material adverse effect on the regional economies in which the Issuer intends to operate, continue to negatively impact stock markets, adversely impact the Issuer’s ability to raise capital, and cause continued interest rate volatility. In particular, the outbreak in Canada, which has resulted in restrictions including quarantines, closures, cancellations and travel restrictions, may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s business including operating, manufacturing supply chain, research and development, regulatory submissions and project development delays and disruptions, labour shortages, travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, interruptions in product supply or restrictions on the export or shipment of the Issuer’s products and reduced customer demand. The Issuer may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of the Issuer’s control, which could have a material adverse impact on the Issuer’s business, operating results and financial condition. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s business.

As a result of these factors, this Offering is only suitable to investors who are willing to rely solely on management of the Issuer and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares.

DIVIDEND RECORD AND POLICY

The Issuer has not paid any dividends since incorporation and it has no plans to pay dividends. The directors of the Issuer will determine if and when dividends should be declared and paid in the future based on the Issuer’s financial position at the relevant time. All of the Common Shares are entitled to an equal share in any dividends declared and paid.

INVESTOR RELATIONS AGREEMENTS

Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Issuer will not enter into any written or oral agreement or understanding with any person to provide any promotional or investor relations services for the Issuer or its securities or to engage in activities for the purposes of stabilizing the market.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel to the Issuer, based on legislation in effect at the date hereof and any proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Offered Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“ RRSP ”), registered retirement income fund (“ RRIF ”), registered education savings plan (“ RESP ”), registered disability savings plan (“ RDSP ”), tax‐free savings account (“ TFSA ”) (collectively, “ Registered Plans ”) and a “deferred profit sharing plan” (“ DPSP ”), as those terms are defined in the Tax Act, provided that the Offered Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange”, as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the Exchange), or the Issuer is otherwise a “public corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act.

The Offered Shares are not currently listed on a “designated stock exchange” and the Issuer is not currently a “public corporation” for the purposes of the Tax Act. The Issuer has applied to list the Offered Shares on the Exchange as of the day before the Closing, followed by an immediate halt in trading of the Offered Shares in order to allow the Issuer to satisfy the conditions of the Exchange and to have the Offered Shares listed and posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Offered Shares on Closing. The Issuer must rely on the Exchange to list the Offered Shares on the Exchange and have them posted for trading prior to the issuance of the Offered Shares on Closing, and to otherwise proceed in such manner as may be required to result in the Offered Shares being listed on the Exchange at the time of their issuance on Closing. If the Offered Shares are not listed on the Exchange, or another “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act, at the time of their issuance on Closing and the Issuer is not a “public corporation” for the purposes of the Tax Act on Closing, the Offered Shares will not be qualified investments for the Registered Plans at that time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder or subscriber of, or annuitant under, a Registered Plan (the “ Controlling Individual ”) will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of Offered Shares held in the Registered Plan if such securities are a prohibited investment for the particular Registered Plan. A Offered Share generally will be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Controlling Individual does not deal at arm’s length with the Issuer for the purposes of the Tax Act or the Controlling Individual has a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) the Tax Act) in the Issuer. However, an Offered Share will not be a prohibited investment for a Registered Plan if such securities are “excluded property” (as defined in subsection 207.01(1) of the Tax Act) for such Registered Plan.

Persons who intend to hold Offered Shares in a trust governed by a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Independent Auditors' Report

To the directors of H2 Ventures 1 Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of H2 Ventures 1 Inc. ("the Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at July 31, 2021 and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which describes the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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.

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 these 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.

  • 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 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 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.

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature and continuance of operations

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. (the "Company") is in the process of completing an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) to be classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4. The Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company was incorporated as a private company by Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 26, 2021.

The Company’s head office is at 2695 Queenswood Dr., Victoria, BC, V8N 1X6, and the registered and records office address is at 1700 - 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2E9.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

The Company’s continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an agreement to acquire an interest in a material asset or business once listed on the TSX-V. Any acquisition or investment proposed by the Company will be subject to regulatory approval. The above material uncertainty raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In March 2020, there was a global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and, specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. These factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

2. Basis of preparation

These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 20, 2021.

The statement of financial position of the Company is presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as explained in the significant accounting policies. These financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

6

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and other shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Deferred financing costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of capital will be charged against the related capital stock. Costs related to shares not yet issued are recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs will be deferred until the issuance of the shares to which the costs relate, at which time the costs will be charged against the related capital stock or charged to operations if the shares are not issued.

Financial instruments

All financial assets not classified at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). On initial recognition, the Company can irrevocably designate a financial asset at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at FVTPL:

  • It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows associated with the financial asset instead of selling the financial asset for a profit or loss; and

  • Its contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position. Subsequent measurement of financial instruments is based on their classification. Financial assets and liabilities classified at FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in net income (loss) for the period. Financial assets classified at amortized cost and financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Fair value hierarchy

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Company has classified its cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at amortized cost.

Income taxes

Income tax expense consisting of current and deferred tax expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using

7

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. 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.

Share capital

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, stock options, share purchase warrants and flow-through shares are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Loss per share

Loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares in issue during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss except that the weighted average number of outstanding shares include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. In a loss reporting period, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti- dilutive.

Share-based payments

The Company grants share options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The fair value of share-based payments to employees is measured at grant date, using the BlackScholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period for employees using the graded vesting method. Fair value of share-based payments for non-employees is recognized and measured at the date the goods or services are received based on the fair value of the goods or services received. If it is determined that the fair value of goods and services received cannot be reliably measured, the share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

For both employees and non-employees, the fair value of share-based payments is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in share-based payments reserve. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is

8

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

recorded in share capital and the related share-based payment in share-based payments reserve is transferred to share capital.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where a grant of options is cancelled and settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest, except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense. The amounts recorded in reserves for unexercised share options are transferred from share-based payments reserve to deficit upon their expiry or cancellation.

Accounting standard issued but not yet effective

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 1 has been amended to clarify classification of liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments are effective for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendment is expected to have no impact for the Company.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income (loss) in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements within the next fiscal year include the assessment of material uncertainty which raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

5. Share Capital

  • a) Authorized

Unlimited common shares, without par value.

  • b) Issued

9

H2 Ventures 1 Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended July 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

On April 26, 2021, the Company issued 1 common share at a price of $0.05 per share.

On June 4, 2021, the Company issued 11,199,999 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share for proceeds of $560,000.

The 11,200,000 common shares will be held in escrow upon the completion of the IPO.

c) Escrow Agreement

All of the outstanding shares issued above are to be held in escrow. Under the escrow agreement, 25% of the shares will be released on the issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin (the Exchange’s acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction) and an additional 25% will be released on each of the dates which are 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months following the initial release. As all of these shares are considered contingently issuable until the Company completes the qualifying transaction, they are not considered to be outstanding shares for the purposes of loss per share calculations. Consequently, basic and diluted loss per share and weighted average number of shares disclosures have not been provided.

d) Stock options

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the Exchange requirements, grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. Under the plan, the aggregate number of common shares that may be subject to option at any one time may not exceed 10% of the issued common shares of the Company as of that date. Options granted may not exceed a term of ten years, and the term will be reduced to one year following the date of death of the optionee. All options vest when granted unless they are otherwise specified by the Board of Directors or if they are granted for investor relations activities.

The Board of Directors determines the exercise price per common shares, the number of options granted to individual directors, officers, employees and consultants and all other terms and conditions of the options. The Plan is subject to regulatory approval.

On June 4, 2021, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options to the directors at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, expiring on June 4, 2026. These CPC stock options and the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such CPC stock option are to be held in escrow, subject to the CPC Escrow Agreement.

The Company applied the fair value method using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model in accounting for its stock options granted, using the following assumptions:

Period Ended

Expected life (years) 5
Risk-free interest rate 0.86%

6. Financial Instruments

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions. The Company has minimal credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period. The Company intends to settle these with funds from its positive working capital position.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is at nominal interest rates, and therefore, the Company does not consider interest rate risk to be significant. The Company has no interest-bearing financial liabilities.

Foreign currency risk

As at July 31, 2021, the Company did not have any accounts in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk insignificant.

7. Capital Management

Capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.

The proceeds from the issuance of share capital raised by the Company, both prior to the Company’s IPO and from the IPO itself, may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investments, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

8. Related Party Transactions

The Company granted 1,000,000 stock options to the directors of the company with a fair value of $37,000 recorded as share-based payments.

Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at July 31, 2021 is $150 owed to the CEO of the Company for reimbursements of expenses. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand.

As at July 31, 2021, the Company had non-capital losses of approximately $55,000 which may be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future years. The non-capital loss expires in 2041.

10. Subsequent Events

The Company engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord” or “Agent”) to undertake and complete its initial public offering and listing as a CPC on the TSXV. Canaccord will act as agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis for a public offering by way of a long form prospectus (“the Offering”) of the Company’s common shares to raise 50,000,000 shares at $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The Company will pay agent’s compensation consisting of 8% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, payable in cash, plus 8% agent’s warrants, each whole warrant exercisable into one common share for a period of 24 months from closing of the Offering at a price of $0.10. The Company paid $15,000 advance retainer to cover the Agent’s out of pocket expenses.

SCHEDULE “A”

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The primary function of the audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, and the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes.
