Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements and information contained in this MD&A may constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. All statements and information other than statements of historical fact or historical information may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as "expect", "intend", "estimate", "will", "anticipated", or similar words, including negatives thereof, suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. The forward-looking information is based on a number of factors, expectations and assumptions which have been used to develop such information, and which may prove to be incorrect. Although the Corporation believes that the factors, expectations, and assumptions on which the forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because the Corporation can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature it involves inherent known and unknown risks and uncertainties which are beyond the control of the Corporation. The Corporation's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking information due to a number of factors and risks. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that the Corporation will derive therefrom. The forward-looking information included in this MD&A is made as of the date hereof and the Corporation does not undertake an obligation to publicly update such forwardlooking information to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Scaling Capital 1 Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable. Cash is classified as an asset at amortized cost. Accrued expenses are classified as a liability at amortized cost.
Related Party Transactions
The Company’s key management personnel include Directors and Officers with the responsibility of planning, directing and controlling activities of the Company. The Company did not pay any compensation to its key management personnel during the year.
Related Party Balances
Related party balances relate to payables to Ninepoint Partners LP. All balances are non-interest bearing and carry no specific terms of repayment. Related party payables as at September 30, 2022 were $15,612.
Capital Management
The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate cash resources to support planned activities which include identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions. The Company includes shareholders' equity of $604,388 in the definition of capital.
In managing capital, the Company estimates its future cash requirements by preparing a budget. The budget establishes the activities for the upcoming year and estimates the costs associated with these activities.
The Company's plan is to raise capital through the issuance of additional common shares. There are no assurances that funds will be made available to the Company when required.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Company. These restrictions may apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited history of existence. There can be no assurance that a Qualifying Transaction will be completed. Equity or debt financing may be required to complete a Qualifying Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing to continue. The securities of the Company should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company’s securities:
-
A) until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions;
-
B) the Company has had no business activity and has not acquired any material assets since its incorporation other than cash;
-
C) the Company does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction;
-
D) the Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction;
-
E) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction;
-
F) the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant, and which may also result in a change of control of the Company;
-
G) there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its common shares; and

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
- H) the Company competes with other Capital Pool Companies that are seeking suitable Qualifying Transactions. In addition, other Capital Pool Companies may have substantially greater financial resources than the company.
In addition, the Company is exposed to general risks faced by all businesses, including:
Financial risk management
The Company's activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial and economic markets, and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial results. Risk management is carried out by financial management in conjunction with overall corporate governance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's ability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company is not susceptible to significant credit risk as cash is held at a major financial institution.
Liquidity risk
The Company's exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on purchasing commitments and obligations and ability to raise funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. As at September 30, 2022, the Company has cash of $625,000 to settle financial liabilities of $42,885.
Measurement Uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the financial statements. The Corporation does not have any significant estimates as of September 30, 2022.
COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and the war in Ukraine have had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. The pandemic and war in Ukraine could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market. These factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak and the war in Ukraine may have on the Corporation as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, the duration of the war and corresponding duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries.
Subsequent Event
On November 14, 2022, the Corporation filed a long form prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”) for the purposes of completing a Canadian initial public offering (the “ Offering ”) to raise gross proceeds of $450,000 on the TSX Venture Exchange by issuing 4,500,000 common shares at a purchase price of $0.10 per share. The proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Corporation, as a capital pool company, to fund its search for a Qualifying Transaction and in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4.
The Corporation has agreed to pay the Agents (Canaccord Genuity) a commission equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering, payable in cash, plus ten percent (10.0%) Agent’s warrants, each whole
Scaling Capital 1 Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
warrant exercisable into one common share for a period of 5 years from closing of the Offering at a price of $0.10. The Agent will also be paid a Corporate Finance Fee of $15,000 and be reimbursed for all legal fees and other reasonable expenses regardless of whether the Offering is completed.
The Corporation has adopted an incentive stock option plan in accordance with the policies of the Exchange (the " Stock Option Plan ") for the benefit of directors and officers, and where permitted pursuant to Exchange policies, employees, and consultants of the Company. A maximum of ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company upon completion of the initial public offering may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock options to be granted to directors and officers, and where permitted pursuant to Exchange policies employees and consultants, of the Company. In addition, subject to the policies of the Exchange, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one person shall not exceed five percent (5%) and for consultants and employees conducting investor relations activities shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares. The Stock Option Plan provides that the terms of the options and the option price shall be fixed by the directors, subject to the price restrictions and other requirements imposed by TSX Venture.
Stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not be exercisable for a period longer than ten (10) years and the exercise price must be paid in full upon exercise of the option.
The Corporation also proposes to grant options to purchase an aggregate of 1,700,000 common shares once the Offering is completed, at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of 10 years from the date of the grant.
