THE COMPANY

1287390 B.C. Ltd. (“390 BC” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on February 3, 2021. The Company is a reporting issuer but does not trade on stock exchange.

The head office and principal address of the Company is 1020-800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2V6.

RECENT EVENTS

On April 21, 2021, 1289625 B.C. Ltd. (“625 BC”) completed a share capital reorganization by way of statutory plan of arrangement whereby all shares of the Company were distributed to shareholders of 625 BC, as a return of capital (the “Arrangement”). Pursuant to of the Arrangement, existing 625 BC shareholders received one hundred thousand (100,000) common shares of the Company for every one (1) 625 BC common share they held on the effective date of the Arrangement.

On April 21, 2021, the Company issued 3,000,000 common shares pursuant to the plan of arrangement. The fair value of the common shares issued was $300.

On August 25, 2021, the Company issued 750,000 common shares to certain subscribers pursuant to a nonbrokered private placement at a price of $0.001 per common share for a total aggregate price of $75 which is included in the amounts receivable.

On October 14, 2021, the Company issued 416,666 common shares to certain subscribers pursuant to a nonbrokered private placement at a price of $0.001 per common share for a total aggregate price of $417.

On April 8, 2022, 1287390 B.C. Ltd. (“390”) and NiCAN Limited (“NiCAN”) closed the previously-announced nonbrokered private placement (the “Concurrent Offering”) of 14,483,446 Subscription Receipts (as defined below), for gross proceeds of $6,108,676.

The Concurrent Offering was completed as part of the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between 390 and NiCAN. NiCAN and 390 entered into an amalgamation agreement dated March 3, 2022 (the “Definitive Agreement”) whereby 390 will amalgamate with NiCAN (the “Amalgamation”) and continue as one corporation being the “Resulting Issuer”. Upon completion of the Transaction, the resulting issuer (to be named “NiCAN Limited”) would carry on the business of NiCAN and the securityholders of NiCAN and 390 would become securityholders of the Resulting Issuer.

The oversubscribed Concurrent Offering consisted of the issuance of (i) 8,177,500 non flow-through subscription receipts of NiCAN (the “HD Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.40 per HD Subscription Receipt; and (ii) 6,305,946 flow-through subscription receipts (the “FT Subscription Receipts” and together with the HD Subscription Receipts, the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.45 per FT Subscription Receipt. The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to and are governed by a subscription receipt agreement dated March 30, 2022 (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”) between 390, NiCAN and TSX Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent and escrow agent.

In connection with the Concurrent Offering, NiCAN paid certain eligible persons (the “Finders”) a finder’s fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the subscribers participating in the Concurrent Offering introduced by such Finders (the “Finder’s Fees”). As additional consideration, NiCAN issued an aggregate of 403,627 finder's warrants (the “Finder's Warrants”) to the Finders, being equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Concurrent Offering to the subscribers introduced by each such Finder. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Finder’s Share”) at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of 12 months following the closing of the Concurrent Offering.

The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Offering, less $181,238.35, being 50% of the Finder’s Fees payable to the Finders in connection with the Concurrent Offering, have been deposited into escrow pending the satisfaction of

certain escrow release conditions contained in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, including the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Transaction and completion of the Amalgamation in accordance with the Amalgamation Agreement.

The Transaction is conditional on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approving the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares and other customary conditions.

(1) This being a corporation without a revenue-generating business, there are no revenues from operations or investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had a working capital deficit of $16,760 as at December 31, 2021. The Company does not have revenues from operations and relies on outside funding for its continuing financial liquidity. The Company will need additional financing in order to continue operations.

Management cautions that the Company’s ability to raise additional funding is not certain. Additional funds will be required in order to pursue the Company’s current business plans. An inability to raise additional funds would adversely impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

As at December 31, 2021, the Company has $10,919 in related party liabilities owing to 625 BC for reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

There is no proposed transaction as of the date of this MD&A.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has applied the same accounting policies as set out in Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the period from incorporation on February 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the period from incorporation on February 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For financial instruments held by the Company, management classifies accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to a related party at amortized cost.

a) Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying value of accounts payables and amounts due to a related party approximates their fair value because of their nature and relatively short maturity date or duration.

b) Management of risks arising from financial instruments

Discussions of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are detailed below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company is not exposed to credit risk.

1287390 B.C. Ltd. Management Discussion and Analysis For the period from the date of incorporation on February 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The risk that the Company will realize such a loss is limited because the Company has no interest-bearing financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash to enable settlement of transactions as they come due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk in the amount of $17,952 that is due to be settled within 90 days of the year-end.

RISKS AND UNCERTINTIES

Risk Factors – General

The Company is focused on gaining exposure to commodity prices by making strategic investments in mining interests, including royalties, streams, debt and equity investments in mining companies. Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits, which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations of metal prices, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets, processing reagents and equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environment protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on investment.

COVID-19

Since March 2020, a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has 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. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company 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, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently in place in Canada and other countries to fight the virus.
