PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The head office of the Company is located at 504-100 Park Royal South, West Vancouver, BC, V7T 1A2, Canada.

Strategy

The Company is primarily an e-commerce company that offers multiple plant-based brands at its “one-stop shop for everything plant-based”. The Company’s e-commerce platform is an online source for high-quality plant-based products including groceries, ingredients, food and beverages, cosmetics, pet-foods and plants. The Company makes more than 5,000 plant-based products available to consumers throughout North America on its e-commerce websites.

The Company currently operates its business under a direct shipping model, whereby the Company facilitates the delivery of the goods from its warehouses directly to the end-point consumer who places the order. Additionally, the Company, under its wholly-owned subsidiary Bloomboxclub Limited (“ Bloombox Club ”), also operates its business relevant to Bloombox Club using a supply-chain management system known as “dropshipping” whereby Bloombox Club facilitates the delivery of the goods from a third-party manufacturer to a third party distributor and then to the end-point consumer who places the associated order. Dropshipping typically does not require Bloombox Club to own inventory. Strategically, dropshipping enables the Company’s business to operate with limited overhead and inventory, thus maximizing margins and, ultimately, net profit.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s management focused on building certain verticals, including, but not limited to, Bloombox Club, Plant-Based Deli LLC (“ New Deli ”) and New Deli Hillcrest. The focus was on rebranding the brick and mortar locations to XMarket and equipping each location with the ability to fulfill orders under the direct shipping models. PlantX also seeks to create brand-awareness and customer engagement through its brick-and-mortar strategy. As of the date of this MD&A, PlantX has announced brickand-mortar locations in San Diego, California, Squamish, British Columbia, Venice Beach, California, Toronto, Ontario, Ottawa, Ontario, and Tel Aviv, Israel. The purpose of the PlantX branded locations is to provide a customer-friendly experience where consumers can engage and become educated about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle, sample and purchase featured plant-based products and engage in the PlantX community.

The PlantX platform also features a collaborative forum and blog to help like-minded consumers to engage through social media and via partnerships with top nutritionists, chefs and brands. By combining this online strategy with the opportunities to engage at brick-and-mortar locations, the Company seeks to cultivate a PlantX community that translates into increased sales through its e-commerce platform. Establishing a core consumer base that makes recurring purchases from the Company’s e-commerce platform is critical to the execution of the Company’s business model.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

On July 12, 2021, the Company added vegan wine to its expanding product selection on its United States e-commerce platform.

On July 28, 2021, the Company launched its meal delivery service in the United States. The new program, called XFood, provides access to an exclusive variety of innovative plant-based meals designed by the distinguished vegan Chef and PlantX Culinary Chief Officer, Matthew Kenney.

On August 11, 2021, Bloombox Club announced a partnership with the Walt Disney Company Limited in the United Kingdom for a campaign to promote Bloombox Club products and celebrate the release of the new film, Jungle Cruise.

On September 1, 2021, the Company launched its redesigned Canadian website, www.PlantX.ca, powered by Shopify. The new website offers a refreshed and modern design, simplified navigation and upgraded search tools and functionality to improve overall user experience and brand impact.

During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company established additional brand ambassador partnerships with celebrity athletes, including American football quarterback Justin Fields and Professional Skier Nick McNutt. By using high-profile PlantX Ambassadors, the Company aims to grow their exposure through digital media access to their ambassador’s online following.

The Company also sought to improve its operational efficiencies and accessibility to consumers during the quarter. This included launching the sale of PlantX products on Walmart Canada Marketplace, Amazon Marketplace and on Hudson’s Bay Marketplace. Management believes that the increased exposure as a third-party retailer on these platforms will gain further exposure to consumers. The Company also expanded its Canadian meal delivery service with the addition of a second shipping day each week, in an effort to increase the Company’s outreach. The Canadian operations were further assisted by the opening of a PlantX warehouse in Squamish, British Columbia. The new warehouse is a critical component of the company’s expansion plans and will be used to support the company’s supply chain for the distribution of indoor plants across Canada.

The Company entered into a partnership to open a new PlantX-branded ghost kitchen, a cooking facility used only to deliver meals and test-phase the Company’s U.S. meal delivery program in Los Angeles, California.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

On August 4, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Lorne Rapkin as CEO of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Rapkin previously served as the CFO of the Company. In connection with the management transition, the former CEO of the Company, Ms. Julia Frank was reassigned to serve as the COO of the Company.

Mr. Shariq Khan, the former Director of Finance of the Company, was appointed CFO of the Company to succeed Mr. Rapkin.

On September 9, 2021, the Company appointed Fred Leigh as Executive Chairman of the Board.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern under IFRS. The use of these principles under IFRS assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company incurs operating losses, which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Page 4

PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Management’s current strategy is careful cost control while pursuing opportunities within various market sectors. Management recognizes the Company’s need to increase its cash reserves in the coming year if it intends to adhere to its plans and has evaluated its potential sources of funds. Although management intends to assess and act on these options throughout the course of the year, there can be no assurance that the steps management takes will be successful.

In the event that cash flow from operations, together with the proceeds from any future financings are insufficient to cover planned expenditures, management will allocate available resources in such manner as deemed to be in the Company’s best interest. This may result in a significant reduction in the scope of existing and planned operations.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company generated revenue of $2,826,790 and $6,916,495 (September 30, 2020 - $327,002 and $459,892) and as of September 30, 2021 had a deficit of $44,755,520 (March 31, 2021 - $26,855,273). The revenue growth of $6,456,603 compared to the same period of the prior year was driven by increasing sales on the e-commerce sites along with the strategic acquisitions that were able to service customer needs by providing food and plant deliveries to homes and other businesses.

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern that these uncertainties are material and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Accordingly, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.

Since March 2020, 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 included the implementation of travel bans, selfimposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruptions to business globally 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 COVID19 pandemic is unknown at this time. As consumers gravitated towards e-commerce shopping during this pandemic, the Company experienced a positive trend for the demand in online food and plant delivery.

The revenue of the Company decreased by $1,262,915 in the 3-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the 3-month period ended June 30, 2021. The main reason for the decrease in revenue is the lower sales volumes with wholesale orders. However, the Company increased its gross profit by 18% compared to June 30, 2021 as a result of having a larger concentration of sales on retail sales. Operating expenses decreased by $2,310,287 compared to June 30, 2021, as a result of operational efficiencies and cost-cutting measures.

The revenue of the Company increased by $2,499,788 in the 3-month period ended September 30, 2021, compared to the 3-month period ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the revenue of the Company increased by $6,456,603 in the 6-month period ended September 30, 2021, compared to the 6-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Operating expenses increased by $7,460,467 (3-month period) and $18,693,169 (6-month period) compared to the same three and six months ended September 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $10,153,199, inclusive of cash of $9,582,510, as compared to working capital of $22,140,276, inclusive of cash of $20,364,895 as of March 31, 2021.

PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The Company invests heavily in operational activities to achieve its strategic growth plan. This growth strategy focuses primarily on marketing, product & service diversity, supply chain expansion, geographic expansion, acquisitions and dedicated resources. Since launching the Company’s e-commerce platform, www.PlantX.com, on March 31, 2020, the Company has increased these operational activities, both by heavily expanding its capital investment as well as focusing the Company’s attention and other resources, to grow and expand the e-commerce platform.

Management has determined that in order to facilitate the growth and accommodate the demand for products being delivered within one to two business days, the Company plans to open storage facilities across North America. The opening of the warehouses began in September 2021 and by January 2022, the Company is seeking to have three operational warehouses in the United States. There is currently one operational warehouse in Nevada which provides the Company with strong geographic coverage for distribution. Furthermore, the expansion of additional brickand-mortar PlantX locations will further augment the consumer experience.

To date, this path to market has been “capital expenditure light” and the physical brick-and-mortar locations have been a source of brand awareness for e-commerce. In addition to the existing flagship stores in Squamish, British Columbia, San Diego, California, Venice Beach, California, and the forthcoming launch of stores in Hudson’s Bay locations in Toronto and Ottawa and the recently acquired New Deli store, the Company plans to open additional PlantX stores in North America and Israel. The Company expects to enter additional partnerships and franchise relationships to help further scale this roll-out throughout North America. In Israel, the Company expects to retrofit an existing brick-and-mortar location in Tel Aviv to the PlantX brand. The expected cost to complete the Israel location is approximately US$800,000 to build-out and product-stock this location. The Company has spent approximately US$620,000 to-date.

As a recently established company, lead generation of new consumers that are linked to the e- commerce platform is expected to serve as a correlated driver of sales and revenue. To increase brand awareness and promote ‘lead generation’ to the Company’s e-commerce platform, the Company has made, and continues to make, key partnerships with plant-based online influencers, athletes and celebrities. This strategy is not only to generate leads to the website, but also to educate potential customers about the benefit of a plant-based diet. One way the company aims to achieve this strategy is through key partnerships and expanded product categories to create a differentiated one-stop-shop. Media and publicity have also served as an important tool through unique content creation, such as the Company’s YouTube channel with programming led by Adam Kruger.

In addition to organic growth, the Company completed strategic acquisitions of highly synergistic plant-based companies. These companies operate in high-growth segments, exhibit strong business fundamentals, provide valuable know-how, integrate an existing customer base and supply-chains, and are complementary to the existing e-commerce platform. These acquired companies have generated revenue, expanded the customer base, geographic reach and enhanced Company platform.

Depending on future events, the rate of expenditures and general and administrative costs could increase or decrease.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 4 of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Future accounting pronouncements

There are no other IFRS or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee interpretations that are not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Significant estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based

Page 12

PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting period include:

Deferred taxes

The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of tax laws. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments.

Estimated useful lives and depreciation of intangible assets

Depreciation of finite-life intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company’s financial statements and the other financial information included in this management report are the responsibility of the Company’s management, and have been examined and approved by the Board. The financial statements were prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted Canadian accounting principles and include certain amounts based on management’s best estimates using careful judgment. The selection of accounting principles and methods is management’s responsibility.

Management recognizes its responsibility for conducting the Company’s affairs in a manner to comply with the requirements of applicable laws and established financial standards and principles, and for maintaining proper standards of conduct in its activities.

The Board supervises the financial statements and other financial information through the Audit Committee, which is composed of a majority of non-management directors.

The Audit Committee’s role is to examine the financial statements and recommend if the Board approve the financial statements, to examine the internal control and information protection systems and all other matters relating to the Company’s accounting and finances. To do so, the Audit Committee meets annually with the external auditors, with or without the Company’s management, to review their respective audit plans and discuss the results of their examination. This Audit Committee is responsible for recommending the appointment of the external auditors or the renewal of their engagement.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:

Page 13

PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., from derived prices); and

Level 3 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.

As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their short terms to maturity.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash accounts and accounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by placing cash at major Canadian financial institutions. Accounts receivable mainly consists of receivables from its customers. At September 30, 2021, 87% of the Company’s accounts receivable were from one customer. The Company considers that no bad debt provision for the trade receivable is necessary based on the current business situation of its debtors at the reporting date.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances to meet liabilities as they become due. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $9,582,510 and current liabilities of $3,146,866. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 90 days.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on capital. As at September 30, 2021, the Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

BUSINESS RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

The following are major risk factors management has identified which relate to the Company’s business activities. Though the following are major risk factors identified by management, they do not comprise a definitive list of all risk factors related to the Company’s business and operations. Other specific risk factors are discussed elsewhere in this MD&A.

History of Operating Losses

The Company was incorporated on October 11, 2019 and has not generated profit from its activities. The Company has an accumulated deficit since its incorporation through September 30, 2021 of $44,755,520.

PLANTX LIFE INC. MD&A FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Competitive Risk

There is competition within the innovative plant-based food, meal delivery and beverages market. The Company will compete with other companies, many of which have been on the market longer, have greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company, for, among other things, the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.

Industry Risk

The Company is operating in comparison with other industries in a relatively young market. Typically, emerging industries grow faster but face greater uncertainty than mature industries. The plant-based industry is not fully developed yet, which means there is growth potential for companies in this sector. On the other hand, the overall acceptance and education about the plant-based industry is still relatively low, which makes companies in that industry face higher risk than in more mature industries.

Intellectual Property Risk

The Company has developed online platforms offering plant-based products available for fast home delivery. The Company may be unable to prevent competitors from independently developing e-commerce and online platforms similar to or duplicate of the Company, and there can be no assurance that the resources invested by the Company to protect the intellectual property will be sufficient. The Company may be unable to secure or retain ownership or rights.

Reliance on Management, Dependence on Key Personnel, and Conflict of Interest

The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of the directors and officers and the ability to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and prospects. The Company will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that the Company can maintain the service of its directors and officers, or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.

Certain directors and officers of the Company may also serve as directors and officers of other companies involved in similar offering of plant-based products and its development and consequently the possibility of conflict exists. Any decisions made by such directors or officers involving the Company will be made in accordance with the duties and obligations of directors and officers to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies. In addition, such directors declare their interest and refrain from voting on any matters in which such directors may have a conflict of interest.
