MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the Period Ended March 31, 2025
This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of NAVCO Pharmaceuticals Inc (“NAVCO” or the “Company”) has been prepared by management as of May 29, 2025, and should be read together with the interim financial statements and related notes for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). All of the following amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
This MD&A may contain “forward-looking statements” which reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding the future results of operations, performance and achievements of the Company. The Company has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by, among other things, using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions. The statements reflect the current beliefs of the management of the Company, and are based on currently available information. Accordingly, these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review the forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from the following discussions and analysis may not necessarily indicate future results from operations.
Overall Performance
The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 1, 2018. The Company’s registered office is located at 5205 Harvester Road, Unit 1, Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
On April 13, 2023, the Company (“BMGB”) completed a share exchange agreement with NAVCO Pharmaceutical Limited (“Private Co”). The transaction was a qualifying transaction pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
At the time of the RTO, BMGB did not meet the definition of a business as defined under IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. Hence, the qualifying transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with IFRS 2, “Share-Based Payment”. Private Co was identified as the accounting acquirer that issued shares to acquire all the net asset of BMGB, the accounting acquiree, and its listing status. The financial statements are considered to be a continuation of the financial statements of Private Co, the accounting acquirer.
Under the terms of the agreement, Private Co shareholders exchanged 100% of their shares of Private Co and received 21,340,000 shares of BMGB. The resulting entity became the listed entity under the name of NAVCO Pharmaceuticals Inc. Subsequent to the transaction, the Private Co shareholders hold 21,340,000 shares or 82.3% of the new entity and the BMGB shareholders hold 4,600,000 shares or 17.7%. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets has been expensed and is included in reverse acquisition transaction costs in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Concurrently with the RTO, the Company issued 340,000 shares in finder’s fees, closed a private placement for gross proceeds of $2,110,566, and changed its name to NAVCO Pharmaceuticals Inc.
| Fair value of consideration transferred | |

| 4,600,000 shares issued at a determined price of $0.13 per share | $ 598,000 |
| Net assets of BMGB acquired | |
| Loan and interest receivable | 94,747 |
| Accounts payable | (90,718) |

| Legal costs | 28,877 |
| Total cost of reverse takeover transaction, classified as listing expense | $ 667,048 |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the Period Ended March 31, 2025
NAVCO Pharmaceuticals Inc. was in the business of developing and commercializing novel supplemental and therapeutic consumer health and wellness products, in the areas of antibacterial & immunity support and infectious disease prevention. It planned to do so by utilizing nanotechnology and computerized nano-meter algorithms to create a portfolio of products that would enable it: to optimize health benefits with a high degree of precision, to use natural, known and safe compounds, and to offer new-methods-of-action and effective therapeutic delivery all via innovative particle science. However, after failing to generate anticipated sales revenue, the Company's Board of Directors decided to refocus its operations by shifting to different segments of pharmaceutical production and sale or by changing to a completely different business model altogether. This resulted in the reduction in the carrying value of certain assets as their use was determined to be no longer required in the operation. Accordingly, the Company impaired intangible assets and plant and equipment assets reducing their value to nil.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
For the Period Ended March 31, 2025
Financial risks
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Market risk
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash consists of accounts at reputable financial institution, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Federal deposit insurance covers balances up to $100,000 in Canada. Financial instruments included in receivables consist of amounts due from government agencies. At March 31, 2025, management considers the Company's exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, considering its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $19,237 (September 30, 2024 - $7,350) to settle current liabilities of $904,542 (September 30, 2024 - $931,949). So far, the Company's source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements, advances from related parties and small loans from third parties. The Company's access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding or advances from related parties.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
a) Interest and foreign exchange risk
The Company is subject to normal risks including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. While the Company manages its operations in order to minimize exposure to these risks, it has not entered into any derivatives or contracts to hedge or otherwise mitigate this exposure. At March 31, 2025, the Company was not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
b) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company is not currently subject to price risk as it is not listed on a public stock exchange.
Recent Accounting Policies Adopted
The Company has reviewed the impact of new and amended standards that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2024. It does not expect the impact on the financial statements to be material, although additional disclosure may be required.
