(“LTI” or the “Company”) for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. Additional information with respect to LTI can be found on the Company’s website at www.labradortechnologies.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar.

International Financial Reporting Standards

The Company’s financial statements for the nine month periods ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). For each reporting period in 2021, the Company also presented comparative information for 2020, both for interim and annual financial statements, as applicable, on an IFRS basis.

Non-IFRS Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with IFRS, we use non-IFRS measures such as working capital. Working capital is provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current use of cash resources and liquidity and is included to provide investors and management with an alternative measure for assessing our financial position in a manner that is focused on the Company’s current liquidity and capital position. This measure is based on the Statement of financial position, from which selected information is presented. Working capital is determined using the period end current assets less current liabilities. These measures are not in accordance with and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not to be comparable to similar status of the Company’s software development projects, the Company’s intentions, results of operations, levels of activity, future capital and other expenditures, including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof, business prospects and opportunities, research and development timetable, and future growth and performance. When used in this MD&A, statements to the effect that the Company or its management ‘believes’, ‘expects’, ‘plans’, ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘projects’, ‘anticipates’, ‘predicts’, ‘intends’ or similar statements, including ‘potential’, ‘opportunity’, or variations thereof are not statements of historical fact and should be construed as forward-looking information. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to the management of the Company. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon.

With respect to the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A, we have made assumptions regarding the following:

  • Future software license sales

  • The continued ability of the Company to raise operating capital

  • Ability to continue current development and new product development

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, expects”, "further", “intends”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “potential”, “continue”, or the negative of these terms or other similar words. In addition, any statements or information that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking. In particular, forward-looking statements in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, statements about:

  • the extent of the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") on our business, financial performance, revenues, and results of operations;

  • disruption to our operations due to the impact of COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, suppliers, partners, and our merchants and their customers, the success of and risk related to new products and initiatives launched in response to COVID-19, and the effect of economic conditions

  • our plan to continue making investments to drive future growth;

  • our accounting estimates, allowances, provisions, and assumptions made in the preparation of our financial statements, including the potential impact from COVID-19

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based on our management’s perception of historic trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other assumptions that management believes are appropriate in the circumstances, which include, but are not limited to:

  • our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals

  • our ability to manage our growth effectively;

  • our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;

  • the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations

  • including the impact of measures taken to contain the virus and the impact on the global economy and consumer spending and on our merchants' and partners' ecosystem;

  • managing our growth;

  • our limited operating history in new and developing markets and new geographic regions;

  • • our ability to innovate;

  • a denial-of-service attack or security breach;

Although we believe that the plans, intentions, expectations, assumptions and strategies reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. You should read this MD&A and the documents that we reference in this MD&A completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this MD&A represent our views as of the date of this MD&A. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this MD&A.

COVID-19

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to focus on the health and well-being of our employees, partners, service providers, and communities. We have entered into transactions that we believe will best serve potential customers as they deal with the challenges of COVID-19.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievement may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A. These factors should be carefully considered and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date of the MD&A.

This MD&A is dated as of September 29, 2021.

Outlook

The Company continues to be dependent on proceeds of private placements and loans from Officers and Directors to meet its month-to-month financial obligations and resources regarding the Corporation’s restructuring efforts.

On July 16, 2021, the Company announced the proposed agreement was mutually terminated with Claritas HealthTech Pte. Ltd. (“Claritas”) dated June 28, 2020 and as amended on May 24, 2021 will not be proceeding as to the reverse takeover conditions to closing were not been met by the outside closing date of July 15, 2021.

As a result, the Company believes this an opportune time to explore a wide range of options to ascertain if it can take advantage of Labrador’s public listing and tax pools, with a focus on shareholder value (collectively, the “Strategic Review”).

The Strategic Review is intended to explore a comprehensive range of strategic transaction alternatives. These alternatives include, but are not limited to, any one or a combination of the following: opportunities to selectively raise and deploy capital (within the technology sector or otherwise); and a merger or other business combination. The Strategic Review will continue the Company’s restructuring efforts which have resulted in material reductions in capital and debt outstanding.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company converted $150,000 Debenture and accrued interest outstanding into 1,573,832 common shares. The 1,500,000 warrants attached to the Debenture have expired unexercised.

Trading in Labrador share have been halted pending the review of the now terminated RTO by the TSXV. The Company has requested TSXV to reinstate trading, subject to TSXV approval.

At July 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $259, no long-term debt, a current year net loss and comprehensive loss of $100,429 and a working capital deficit of $338,914.

On June 28, 2020, the Company entered into a commercial agreement with Claritas for the exclusive right to sell and market the software license of Claritas’s software for the Territory of North America. The payment for the license is through the issuance of 50 million shares of Labrador on at a deemed per share price of $0.10.

Each unit will be composed of one Company common share and one-half Company common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Company common share at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 12 months following the closing date, subject to certain agreed upon terms and conditions.

On July 10, 2020, the Company closed its convertible debenture bridge financing (“Units“) for gross proceeds of $150,000 through the issuance of 1,500,000 Units. Each unit consists of one secured debenture and one common share purchase warrant. The conversion price with respect to the common shares issued upon conversion of Debentures is $0.10 per common share on a post-consolidated basis

On July 10, 2021, 1,500,000 warrants expired.

On July 15, 2021, the commercial agreement with Claritas was mutually terminated.

Revenue

Presently, the Company has no significant ongoing sources of revenue. The Company was engaged in research and development of data retrieval technology but has changed focus and is now conducting activities to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an

interest therein by completing a purchase transaction, by exercising an option or by any concomitant transaction.

Expenses

General & Administrative

This category of expenses is comprised primarily of salaries, commissions and short-term employee benefits, stock-based compensation, office rent, office equipment rentals, corporate expenses related to shareholder reporting, and professional fees. General and administration expenses for the current year were $80,430 compared to $100,185 for 2020, an decrease of $19,755 or 20%. The decrease was due to decreased regulatory and filing costs related to the terminated RTO with Claritas..

Finance Costs

Finance costs mainly includes interest and accretion expenses on accrued on loans advanced by third party to the Company or by its directors and former directors. For the period ending, interest and accretion expenses were $19,999 compared to $5,050 in interest costs, compared to 2020, showing an increase of $14,949, or 296%. The increase is due to increase in interest and accretion expense related to the Convertible Debenture.

Working capital

At the period ending, the Company had cash of $259, no bank debt, and a working capital deficiency of $338,9144. The Company’s ability to maintain its operations in the future is still dependent on its ability to generate sufficient revenue, and/or raise sufficient capital to continue to fund its strategic business plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine month period ending, the Company’s cash position decreased by $22,277 as a result of the increase trade payables of $48,723 and cash used in operating activities of $80,430 adjusted for finance costs of $19,999.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, the Company converted the outstanding $150,000 Debenture into 1,500,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.10 per share and the issuance of 73,832 common shares for accrued interest outstanding of $7,383.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations.

The Company is currently conducting activities to identify and evaluating assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an interest therein by completing a purchase transaction, by exercising an option or by any concomitant transaction. The Company’s previous activities related to the research and development and marketing of data retrieval technology. Management is aware of material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As at July 31, 2021, the Company has negative working capital of $338,914 and had negative cash flows from operations of $80,430 for the nine month period ended July 31, 2021.

Management believes the going concern assumption is still appropriate for these financial statements but is dependent upon the successful raising of sufficient capital in the future as required, achieving and

sustaining profitable operations, as well as the continued support from related parties and trade and other creditors. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful. This assumption will be reviewed on an ongoing basis by management and the Board of Directors. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, reported revenues and expenses and the classifications used in the statement of financial position.

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth to maximize the return to its shareholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and shareholders’ deficit. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.

The Company makes adjustments to its capital structure in light of general economic conditions and the Company’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may pay dividends, buy back shares or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business.

Financial instruments and financial risk management:

  • i) Determination of Fair Values

The following table analyzes recurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. The different levels are defined as follows:

  • Level 1 - Determined by reference to quoted in active markets for identical financial assets and liabilities.

  • The fair value of loans payable approximates their carrying value as they are payable on demand.

  • The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short term to maturity.

  • Level 2 – Inputs to the valuations, other than quoted prices, are observable for the financial assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 – Inputs to the valuations are based on inputs that are not observable for the financial assets and obligations.

Overview

The Company is exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management process are to ensure that risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.

  • a) Interest rate risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value of a financial instrument or its cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates.

The Company maintains its short-term deposits in instruments that are redeemable at any time without penalty, thereby reducing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

The loans payable bear interest at a fixed rate of 12% and are due upon demand, thus the cash flows are not subject to interest rate risk.

  • b) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due or can do so only at excessive cost. Given that the Company continues to use cash in operations, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company on a timely basis. Refer to note 3 for details regarding the going concern assumption.

At July 31, 2021, the Company has cash balances of $494 and a working capital deficiency of $388,914.

Loans Payable Related Party Loans Payable:

a) Related Party Transactions:

As at July 31, 2021, the Company had $63,121 (2020 - $60,394) of loans payable and interest accrued to certain officers, directors, former directors, and shareholders. These loans are unsecured and due on demand. $44,708 of these loans bears no interest and the remaining $18,187 bears interest of 12%. Total interest accrued and payable for these loans as at July 31,

2021 was $10,687 (2020 - $10,233). During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, additional advances on these loans of $2,047 (2020 - $33,177) were made to the Company and interest expense of $681 (2020 - $907) on the outstanding loans was recognized.

b) Key Management Personnel Compensation

The key management personnel of the Company are the members of the Company’s executive management team and Board of Directors. In addition to their salaries and director fees, as applicable, directors and executive officers, along with certain employees of the Company, also participate in the Company’s stock option plan (note 8).

The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue of $136,747 was calculated as the discounted cash flows assuming a market interest rate of 14.83%, which was the estimated rate for the convertible debentures without the equity conversion feature or the warrants. The value of the warrants was calculated as the difference between the $150,000 face value of the convertible debenture less the fair value allocated to the liability component.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, the Company converted the outstanding $150,000 Debenture into 1,500,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.10 per share and the issuance of 73,832 common shares for accrued interest outstanding of $7,383. The attached share purchase warrants expired unexercised.
