DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Overview

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia. the Company was formerly an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resource properties in Canada.

On November 5, 2024, PlantX Life Inc. (VEGA) announced a name and symbol change to JIVA Technologies Inc. (“JIVA”).

Management noticed there was some confusion stemming from the share exchange agreement with VEG House, where Veg House took control of the PlantX.com asset. Several articles have combined VEG House and PlantX Life Inc.’s assets, so management determined it was the perfect time for a fresh start. From the beginning, the vision has been to bridge wellness and technology using proven e-commerce strategies, and that’s exactly what JIVA is doing. The Company is focused on partnering with brands—whether they’re just starting out or already established—that need help gaining visibility online. From building websites to optimizing

Strategy

The Company is primarily an e-commerce company specializing in an extensive range of plant-based brands, available on its comprehensive "one-stop shop for everything plant-based" online platforms. The Company's


JIVA Technologies Inc.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

e-commerce channels serve as a trusted source for high-quality plant-based products, encompassing groceries, ingredients, food and beverages, cosmetics, pet foods, and plants. With a remarkable selection, the Company offers more than 5,000 plant-based products to customers throughout North America via its e-commerce websites.

Operating under a direct shipping model, the Company seamlessly facilitates the delivery of goods directly from its warehouses to end-point consumers. This streamlined approach ensures a swift and efficient process for customers who place orders. Additionally, the Company proudly serves as a reliable shipping fulfillment solution for renowned plant-based brands that face logistical challenges. By redirecting their websites to PlantX.com, the company benefits from increased search engine optimization (SEO) and enhanced website sales, all while leveraging outside effective marketing activities at no cost to the Company.

Additionally, the Company, under its 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, drop shipping enables the company's business operates with limited overhead and inventory, thus maximizing margins and, ultimately, net profit.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the company placed a significant focus on bolstering profitability by nurturing its high-growth sectors and making necessary adjustments to underperforming business units that didn't meet the stringent margin thresholds.

In an effort to enhance efficiency and customer experience, the company consolidated XMarket Squamish and the Cloudburst Coffee shop at the Locavore Bar and Grill. This move allowed for the expansion of the lounge area, providing customers with a more inviting space to spend time onsite. As a result, sales increased, and the company gained additional revenue opportunities through hosting private events.

The company's focused approach on profitability yielded positive results, particularly in the transformation of BloomBox Club. The team size was reduced from 30 to 1 employees, positioning BloomBox Club on the verge of achieving profitability.

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.

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 six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue of $2,771,984 (September 30, 2023- $5,954,948) and as of September 30, 2024 had a net loss of ($1,333,895). (September 30, 2024 - $(3,978,410)).

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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.

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 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:

  • 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, 2024, 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. 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, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $88,450 (March 31, 2024, $73,937) and current liabilities of $14,764,545 (March 31, 2024, $6,707,194)

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, 2024, Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price 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, 2024, of $(100,092,493).

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 a 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

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

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 a 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.
