MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Great Oak Enterprises Ltd. was incorporated on December 27, 2017 under the Canada Business Corporations Act with its head office located at 401 Bay Street, Suite #2100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y4. The Company, as a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba, is subject to the rules and regulations of the relative provincial securities commissions, but its shares do not trade on any stock exchange. The Company has no current active business operations and its principal business is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses for the purpose of completing a Qualifying Transaction such that the Company's shares can be approved for listing and trading on a recognized Canadian stock exchange.

Where a Qualifying Transaction 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 be able to complete a Qualifying Transaction or that it will be able to secure the necessary financing to complete a Qualifying Transaction.

PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT

Under the terms of a Plan of Arrangement approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on March 26, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all the rights and interests in a Letter of Intent ("LOI") between Telferscot Resources Inc. ("Telferscot") and Enviro Resources Limited ("ERL"). As consideration for acquisition of this LOI, Great Oak Enterprises Ltd. issued 2,499,996 common shares to Telferscot, which were then distributed to the current shareholders of Telferscot pro-rata based on their relative shareholdings of Telferscot. The LOI has been assigned a nominal value of $1. Telferscot had previously signed with ERL to cooperate with ERL on the acquisition and development of environmentally-beneficial consumer, commercial and products. ERL has successfully acquired and progressed and commercialized products in this sector over the past 5 years and is looking for a strategic partner to fund new opportunities. Following completion of the Plan of Arrangement, Great Oak would acquire the right of first refusal to fund ERL products and acquisitions.

CORPORATE

On April 3, 2018, Stephen Coates, Michelle Moore, Gerry Gravina and Nirvaan Meharchand were appointed as directors of the Company.

.

COVID-19

Since January, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as ‘COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposing quarantine period and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown currently, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation and its operating subsidiaries in future period. In April 2020, Grove Corporate Services agreed to waive all management and accounting fees for a maximum of six months.

FINANCING

Shares, and warrants

On March 26, 2018, the Company issued 2,499,996 common shares to Telferscot as consideration for the acquisition of the LOI with ERL. These common shares were in turn, distributed to the current shareholders of Telferscot pro-rata based on their relative shareholdings of Telferscot.

On June 21, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of 105,000 units of the Company priced at $1.20 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $126,000. Each unit issued by the Company is comprised of 4 common shares valued at $0.05 per share for total consideration of $0.20 and 1 convertible preferred share valued at $1.00 each, with the following terms:

  • shares are non-voting

  • each preferred share is redeemable by the holder at $1.00 per share

  • for a period of 10 months from closing, each preferred share is convertible into 20 common shares valued at $0.05 each, and 20 common share purchase warrants to buy 1 common share per warrant at a price of $0.05 per warrant for a period up to 1 year from closing.

On April 18, 2019, 105,000 preferred shares of the Company were converted into 2,100,000 common shares and 2,100,000 common share purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable to one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 12 months. On April 18, 2020, the warrants were extended by a further 2 years expiring on April 18, 2022.

Options

On July 5, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 stock options to a company controlled by a director and officer for management and administrative services as part of their compensation. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.05 each for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issuance and are vested in two tranches under certain conditions.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. It would, in this situation, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

FINANCIAL

As at December 31, 2020, the Company has no source of operating cash flow and had an accumulated deficit of $106,686 (2019 - $89,852). Net comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $16,834 (2019 – $42,691). The Company had a working capital of $49,314 as at December 31, 2020 (2019 - $36,148). The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to arrange future financing, which is largely dependent upon prevailing capital market conditions, the continued support of its shareholder base and completion of a Qualifying Transaction. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. Such adjustments could be material.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The Company has not so far generated any operating revenues and therefore losses have been incurred throughout the previous periods. The Company recorded a net loss of $16,834 during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to a net loss of $42,691 during the comparative period ended December 31, 2019.

Expenses included management fees of $16,500 (2019 - $33,000), professional fees of $4,314 (2019 - $3,150), regulatory expenses of $5,997 (2019 - $6,493) and office and general expenses of $23 (2019 - $48). The Company recognized ‘other income’ associated the Canada Emergency Business Account.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $57,962 (December 31, 2019 - $34,728) and working capital of $49,314 (December 31, 2019 –$36,148), fundamentally all from the proceeds of the Company's initial private placement (see "Capitalization" section below). The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital will be mostly used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for completion of a Qualifying Transaction and basic operating costs of a company with ongoing reporting issuer obligations.

500,000

The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba and is subject to the rules and regulations of the relative provincial securities commissions, but its shares do not trade on any stock exchange. The Company was incorporated on December 27, 2017 with the initial common share issued to the incorporator having been cancelled.

On June 21, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of 105,000 units of the Company priced at $1.20 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $126,000. Each unit issued by the Company is comprised of the following:

  • (i) 4 common shares valued at $0.05 per share for total consideration of $0.20

  • (ii) 1 redeemable convertible preferred share valued at $1.00 each, with the following major terms:

  • shares are non-voting

  • each preferred share is redeemable by the holder at $1.00 per share

  • for a period of 10 months from closing, each preferred share is convertible into 20 common shares valued at $0.05 each, and (2) 20 common share purchase warrants to buy 1 common share per warrant at a price of $0.05 per warrant for a period up to 1 year from closing

105,000 preferred shares were converted on April 18, 2019, into 2,100,000 common shares and 2,100,000 common share purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 12 months.

It is not expected that any portion of the gross proceeds received will be allocated to warrants as (i) the preference shares have not yet been converted, and there is no certainty that any will be, and (ii) there would be no remaining value to allocate using the residual method of valuation. The actual shares were issued on June 21, 2018.

As a result of the court approval of the Plan of Arrangement on March 26, 2018, Great Oak issued 2,499,996 common shares to Telferscot as consideration for the acquisition of the LOI with ERL. These common shares were issued to Telferscot on April 5, 2018, and in turn, distributed to the current shareholders of Telferscot pro-rata based on their relative shareholdings of Telferscot on April 12, 2018.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The Company is billed a monthly fee of $2,750 (plus applicable HST) by a company controlled by a director for management and administrative services, including the corporate secretary, the services of the CFO, office rent and regular administrative functions. In April this year, Grove Corporate Services Ltd agreed to waive all management and accounting fees for a maximum of six months following the COVID-19 pandemic (See Note 13). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred total fees of $$16,500 respectively (2019 - $33,000).

Additionally, on July 5, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 stock options to the same company as part of their compensation. The options are exercisable at $0.05 each for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issuance and are vested in two tranches during the first 12 months under certain conditions (see note 6) The total fair value of the options was estimated to be $20,300 but none of the options has vested as at December 31, 2020 and thus the fair value has not been recognized as an expense.

As at December 31, 2020, accrued liabilities in respect of management fees and reimbursable regulatory expenses due to related parties amounted to $6,384. (2019 - $nil).

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  • (a) IFRS 3; In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” The amendments clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of assisting entities to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendment provides an assessment framework to determine when a series of integrated activities is not a business. The amendments are effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The new amendments have been adopted by the Company and have not had a significant impact on these Financial Statements.

  • (b) IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” were amended in October 2018 to refine the definition of materiality and clarify its characteristics. The revised definition focuses on the idea that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The new amendments have been adopted by the Company and have not had a significant impact on these Financial Statements.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ensure sufficient liquidity in order to complete a Qualifying Transaction so that it can provide adequate returns for shareholders. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital as total shareholders' equity.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have an effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Proposed Business

The Company was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and amounts receivable. It has no history of earnings, and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

No Market or History of Operations

The Company was incorporated on December 27, 2017, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and accounts receivable. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a transaction.

Directors' and Officers' Involvement in Other Projects

The directors and officers of the Company will only devote a small portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time.

Reliance on Management

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.

Requirement for Additional Financing

The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Further, even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a transaction. The Qualifying Transaction may be financed in whole, or in part, by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to investors, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Company.

Foreign Qualifying Transaction

In the event that the management of the Company resides outside of Canada or the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.

GREAT OAK ENTERPRISES LTD.

(FORMERLY 10557633 CANADA CORP.) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Potential Dilution

The issue of common shares of the Company upon the exercise of the options will dilute the ownership interest of the Company’s current shareholders. The Company may also issue additional option and warrants or additional common shares from time to time in the future. If it does so, the ownership interest of the Company’s then current shareholders could also be diluted.

Volatile Financial Markets

The volatility occurring in the financial markets is a significant risk for the Company. As a result of the market volatility, investors are moving away from assets they perceive as risky to those they perceive as less so. Issuers like the Company are considered risk assets and as mentioned above are highly speculative. The volatility in the markets and investor sentiment may make it difficult for the Company to access the capital markets in order to raise the capital it will need to fund its current level of expenditures and identify, evaluate and close a Qualifying Transaction.
