MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following management's discussion and analysis (this "MD&A") of 1348515 B.C. Ltd. (the "Company"), prepared as of May 29, 2023 should be read together with the unaudited interim financial statements and accompanying notes for the period ended March 31, 2023 and related notes hereto, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board effective for the reporting period ended March 31, 2023. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of past expenditures mainly in day-to-day operations are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and/or loans to successfully complete its future objectives. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets or discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management pursues relationships and alliances with diverse entities in order to attract additional sources of funds or other transactions that would assure the continuance of the Company's operations.

All statements in this report that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute forward-looking statements. These statements represent the Company's intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs, and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors of which many are beyond the control of the Company. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 16, 2022. The head office and records and registered office is located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V9.

The Company is investigating and evaluating business opportunities to either acquire or in which to participate.

On April 7, 2022, Larose Ventures Ltd. (the "Company" or "Larose") and 1348512 B.C. Ltd. ("512"), 1348514 B.C. Ltd. ("514"), 1348515 B.C. Ltd ("515") 1348517 B.C. Ltd. ("517"), 1348518 B.C. Ltd. ("518"), 1348520 B.C. Ltd. ("520"), 1348521 B.C. Ltd. ("521" and together with 512, 514, 515, 517, 518 and 520, the "Spinout Entities") announced that the spinout of the Spinout Entities by a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement") has been completed.

The Arrangement was approved by the unanimous written consent of the shareholders of the Company. The Company obtained the final order approving the Arrangement from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 24, 2022 and the Arrangement closed and became effective on April 7, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, Larose distributed to each of its shareholders as of February 18, 2022, one half of one common share of each of 512, 514, 515, 517, 518, 520 and 521 for every common share in the capital of Larose held. There was no change in the shareholders' holdings in Larose as a result of the Arrangement.

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2023, the Company had no sources of revenue and an accumulated deficit of $28,017 (December 31 – 2022 - $20,892). At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $31,102 (December 31 – 2022 - $38,614) and working capital deficit of $28,016 (December 31 – 2022 - $20,892). These conditions raise material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the recoverability of past expenditures mainly in day-to-day operations are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and/or loans to successfully complete its future objectives. Management pursues relationships and alliances with diverse entities in order to attract additional sources of funds or other transactions that would assure the continuance of the Company's operations.

The following table outlines certain significant forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A and provides the material assumptions used to develop such forward-looking statements and material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Often, this information includes words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends" "anticipates" or "does not anticipate" or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

The forward-looking information in this MD&A reflects the current expectations, assumptions or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company.

Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forwardlooking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such information due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Although management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward‐looking information will prove to be accurate.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans payable. As at March 31, 2023, the carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short term to maturity. Cash is measured at fair value.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. As at March 31, 2023, the Company had cash balance of $31,102 (December 31, 2022 – $38,614) and current liabilities of $59,118 (December 31, 2022 – $59,506). To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital to continue its operations and discharge its commitments as they become due. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.

Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets and would arise from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid assets by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions, for which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

Interest rate risk

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has no interest-bearing term deposits.

Currency risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

  • c) Outstanding stock options: At March 31, 2023, there are no outstanding stock options.
  • d) Outstanding warrants: At March 31, 2023, there are no warrants outstanding.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company considers its capital to be the components of shareholders' equity. The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of its businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future.

There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them are recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.

On April 7, 2022, as a result of the Arrangement, two shareholders each have ownership and control over 750,000 common shares of the Company.

During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $6,250 (March 31, 2022 - $Nil) as professional fees to the directors of the Company.
