MANDEVILE VENTURES INC.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
for the three-month period ended February 28, 2025

There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete a Qualifying Transaction. Nor can there be any assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing in the future on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, if needed.

The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify and complete a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its management team. The loss of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company. In such event, the Company will seek satisfactory replacements but there can be no guarantee that appropriate personnel may be found or that they will possess an equivalent skillset.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
