No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits we will obtain from them. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current views and are based on certain assumptions and speak only as of the date of this report. These assumptions, which include management’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions about the global economic environment, the market price and demand for products and our ability to manage our operating costs, may prove to be incorrect.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company has been active in establishing strategic relationships towards executing the goal of acquiring assets and businesses in the psychopharmacological industry, through an acquisition transaction. On June 3, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with HAVN Research Inc. (“HAVN”), a privately owned research and development biotechnology company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of HAVN in exchange for the issuance of 15,233,333 common shares to the HAVN shareholders on a pro rata basis (the “Acquisition”). Consequently, this Acquisition will constitute control of HAVN by the Company, with HAVN representing a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for accounting and reporting purposes. In connection with the completion of the Acquisition, the Company will file and subsequently seek a final receipt for a long form non-offering prospectus (the “Prospectus”) from Canadian securities regulators and look to successfully list on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). .

In connection with completion of the Acquisition, the Company will pursue a going-public transaction and list its shares on the CSE. The Company will focus its business on pursuing opportunities in the biotechnology healthcare industry.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

The Company has not generated revenues to date from operations as it is in the start up phase. Once the Company completes the proposed Acquisition it will begin recognizing revenue from the wholly-owned subsidiary and continue pursuing biotechnology healthcare related operating activities.

The net assets of the Company total $1,901,424 at April 30, 2020 and consist of cash of $1,616,985, prepaid expenses of $75,000, promissory note receivable of $250,548 net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $41,109.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

The following is a summary of the Company’s financial results for the period from inception on April 8, 2020 to April 30, 2020:

On a quarter-by-quarter basis, losses are expected to fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors including timing of operating activities from the date of incorporation due to the nature of a start up Company.

An analysis of the quarterly result from inception shows that the Company has incurred mostly professional fees related to the newly formed entity and the pending transaction to acquire a biotechnology healthcare company.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forwardlooking statements. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by the Company and its management in connection with the Company’s business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect the Company’s current judgment regarding the direction of its business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

  • 6 -

Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below as well as in the Prospectus. The Company cautions readers of this report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. In evaluating the Company, its business and any investment in its business, readers should carefully consider the following factors:

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company’s future is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and if the Company does not obtain such financing, the Company may have to cease its activities and investors could lose their entire investment.

There is no assurance that the Company will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. The Company will require additional financing to sustain its business operations if it is not successful in earning revenues. The Company currently does not have any arrangements for further financing and it may not be able to obtain financing when required. The Company’s future is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing. If the Company does not obtain such financing, its business could fail and investors could lose their entire investment.

The Company’s directors and officers are engaged in other business activities and accordingly may not devote sufficient time to the Company’s business affairs, which may affect its ability to conduct operations and generate revenues.

The Company’s directors and officers are involved in other business activities. As a result of their other business endeavours, the directors and officers may not be able to devote sufficient time to the Company’s business affairs, which may negatively affect its ability to conduct its ongoing operations and its ability to generate revenues. In addition, the management of the Company may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of its officers’ other business interests.

The Company has no operating history

The Company has no operating history and may not succeed. The Company is subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. The Company’s likelihood of continued success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, lack of revenues, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the competitive and regulatory environment in which it operates. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.

History of Losses

The Company has incurred losses in the period from inception to April 30, 2020. The Company may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may continue to incur significant losses in the future. In addition, the Company expects to continue to increase operating expenses as it implements initiatives to continue to grow its business. If the Company’s revenues do not increase to offset these expected increases in costs and operating expenses, it will not be profitable.

Reliance on Management

The Company is currently in good standing with all high-level employees and believes that with well managed practices will remain in good standing. The success of the Company will be dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management and key personnel. While employment agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

  • 7 -

Insurance and Uninsured Risks

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including accidents, labour disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company intends to continue to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

The Company Will Be an Entrant Engaging in a New Industry

The biotechnology healthcare industry is fairly new. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for shares of the Company will develop and shareholders may find it difficult to resell their shares. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in the long term.

Dependence on Suppliers and Skilled Labour

The ability of the Company to compete and grow will be dependent on it having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining its required supply of skilled labour, equipment, parts and components. This could have an adverse effect on the financial results of the Company.

Difficulty to Forecast

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the biotechnology industry. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Management of Growth

The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Internal Controls

Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Although the Company will undertake a number of procedures and will implement a number of safeguards, in each case, in order to help ensure the reliability of its financial reports, including those imposed on the Company under Canadian securities law, the Company cannot be certain that such measures will ensure that the Company will maintain adequate control over financial processes and reporting. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company’s results of operations or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company or its auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market’s confidence in the Company’s financial statements and materially adversely affect the trading price of the Company’s shares.

Liquidity

The Company cannot predict at what prices the Company will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. There is a significant liquidity risk associated with an investment in the Company.

  • 8 -

Litigation

The Company may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business. Should any litigation in which the Company becomes involved be determined against the Company such a decision could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating and the market price for Reporting Issuer’s shares and could use significant resources. Even if the Company is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant Reporting Issuer resources.

For a complete list of risk factors, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

BOARD APPROVAL

The board of directors of the Company has approved this MD&A.
