This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Annual MD&A and the audited financial statements for the period from incorporation on March 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021, together with the notes thereto, and the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements, and related notes thereto, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (the “Financial Report”).
All financial information in this MD&A is derived from the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The effective date of this MD&A is November 24, 2022.
CORPORATE OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Clover Leaf was incorporated on March 2, 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The corporate office and registered and records office of the Company is located at Unit 1 – 15782 Marine Drive, White Rock, B.C. V4B 1E6.
On December 29, 2021, the Company filed its final prospectus to become a capital pool company (“CPC”) and for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). On January 11, 2022, the Company became a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta as a result of the filing of its final prospectus.
On March 22, 2022, the Company completed its IPO through the issuance of 4,650,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $465,000, following which its common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).
The Company’s shares commenced trading on the TSX-V on March 24, 2022 under the symbol CLVR.P.
The Company has not commenced operations and has no significant assets other than cash. As a CPC, the Company’s principal business objective is to identify and evaluate assets, properties or businesses with a view to a potential acquisition or participation by completing a qualifying transaction (“QT”) subject, in certain cases, to shareholders’ approval and acceptance by the TSX-V. There is no assurance that the Company will identify and successfully acquire businesses or assets that will produce a profit. Moreover, if a potential business or asset is identified which warrants acquisition or participation, the Company may not be able to obtain such financing on terms which are satisfactory to the Company.

Under the policies of the TSX-V, the Company must identify and complete a QT within 24 months from the date the Company’s shares are listed for trading on the TSX-V. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a QT within this time period, or that it will be able to secure the necessary financing to complete a QT. The TSX-V may suspend or de-list the Company’s shares from trading should it not meet these requirements.
On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with North Shore Energy Metals Ltd.
