The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Incorporation and Overall Performance
On November 2, 2016, Kelly was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and is classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4. On December 21, 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of a total of 2,000,000 common shares, at a price of $0.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. The TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) accepted the Company’s listing application and the Company’s common shares resumed trading on the TSX-V on December 27, 2018 under the trading symbol “KKL.P”.
As a CPC, the principal business of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets or a business and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition of or participation in a business (the “Qualifying Transaction” or “QT”) subject to receipt of shareholder approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities. Where an acquisition or participation is warranted, additional funding may be required. The ability of the Company to fund its potential future operations and commitments is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will complete a Qualifying Transaction within twenty-four months from the date the Company’s shares were listed on the TSX-V, at which time the TSX-V may suspend or de-list the Company’s shares from trading.
The Company’s head office address is Suite 615 – 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2V6. The registered and records office address is Suite 2900 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1J5.

Proposed Qualifying Transaction
In December 2020, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated December 18, 2020, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Ebers Tech Inc. (“Ebers”). The parties intend to complete a business combination or other similarly structured transaction which will constitute a reverse take-over of KKL. The Proposed Transaction is intended to be an arm’s length Qualifying Transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) for the Company as defined under TSXV policies. Please see the news release filed on www.Sedar.com dated December 21, 2020 for full details of the LOI.

| Lossper share | $ - | $ - | **$(0.01) ** | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
The Company incurred a loss of $11,018 (2020 – $8,493) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to higher listing and filing fees due to the timing of the payment of the annual Sedar filings. This year, the fees were paid in March whereas in 2020, they were paid in April. Other expenses were fairly consistent year over year. Management expects them to remain at these levels until the qualifying transaction process is initiated.

Cash decreased by $10,944 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (2020 – $8,491) mainly due to the loss for the period of $11,018 (2020 - $8,493).

Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements include the activity of identifying and evaluating potential qualifying transactions.

Accounting for Stock Options
The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “Plan”), whereby it can grant options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Upon completion of the IPO, the maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan will be limited to 10% of the issued common shares of the Company at any time, provided that until completion of the Qualifying Transaction, not more than 400,000 options may be granted in the aggregate. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan shall not be less than the price of the Company’s common shares on the day proceeding the day the options are granted, less any discount permitted by the Exchange to a minimum of $0.10 per share.
As of the date of this report, there are no stock options issued or outstanding.
Outstanding Share Data – May 10, 2021
Number Common shares, issued and outstanding 4,191,150
Since completion of the IPO, 2,000,000 shares have been held in escrow which will be released pro-rata to the shareholders as to 10% upon the issuance of notice of final acceptance of a Qualifying Transaction by the Exchange, with the balance in six equal tranches of 15% every six months thereafter over a period of 36 months.

Going Concern of Operations
The Company has prepared its financial statements 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.

As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred losses of $120,556 (December 31, 2020 - $109,538) since inception. The Company’s continued existence and plans for future growth depend on its ability to obtain additional capital.
Since March 2020, there has been a global outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the regional economies in which the Company operates and could continue to result in negative impacts on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares, and the ability to raise capital and could impact the Company’s operations.
The above material uncertainties raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the Company’s continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing through debt or equity issuance.
Approval
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the disclosure contained in this MD&A. A copy of this MD&A will be provided to anyone who requests it.
