This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“ MD&A ”) document dated June 15, 2020 is provided by the management of Loon Energy Corporation (“ Loon ” or “ Company ”) and should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the 2019 annual MD&A.

Basis of Presentation

This MD&A is prepared using United States dollars (“US Dollars”) which is the reporting currency of the Company. The condensed interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 released by the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company confirms that its auditors have not reviewed the condensed interim financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Overview

Loon Energy Corporation (“Loon”, “Loon Corp”) was formerly an international oil and gas exploration and development company, whose present activities consist of the investigation and evaluation of future business opportunities. The Company has management offices in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Loon Corp was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporation Act (Alberta) (“ABCA”) on October 30, 2008 to receive certain of the oil and gas assets of Loon Energy Inc. (“Loon Energy”) in accordance with a Plan of Arrangement (“Arrangement”) under the ABCA.

On September 14, 2018, Loon entered into an amalgamation agreement (the “ Agreemen t”) with Pacific West Canopy Holdings Ltd (“ PacWest ”), a privately held corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The execution and subsequent completion of the proposed amalgamation (the “ Transaction ”) was scheduled to close by February 28, 2019 and was dependent upon the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by Loon and PacWest. PacWest had not advanced to Loon the remaining $Cdn 100,000 (see also Note 6) as specified in the Agreement. Effective December 31, 2019 Loon and PacWest mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and release each other from any obligations, including repayment of Notes Payable and accrued interest (see also Note 6).

Loon is a Reporting Issuer in Canada, whose common shares were traded under the symbol “LNE” on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) until March 3, 2017, when the Company’s listing transferred to NEX, and its trading symbol changed to “LNE.H”. Loon’s shares have been suspended from trading since October 31, 2018.

Operations Overview

The Company has not conducted any active operations during 2020 or 2019, though the Company continues to pursue and evaluate other business opportunities, including the potential acquisition of international oil and gas interests.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to $3,028 compared to $6,433 for the comparative period ended March 31, 2019, mainly due to the non-renewal of Directors and Officers insurance and consequent reduction in expense recognized in the current period.

changes to foreign exchange rates, is now valued at $191,262 plus accrued interest of $2,987 (Cdn$ 4,237). Interest does not accrue on the unpaid balance of Fees Payable to Directors and Officers subsequent to March 31, 2017.

The above related party transactions were recorded at exchange amounts agreed to by both parties which approximate fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company no longer conducts active oil and gas operations, and its present activities consist solely of investigating and evaluating potential business opportunities.

The Conmpany’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Beginning in Q4 2014 and continuing through to the present, members of the Company’s Board of Directors advanced cash to fund Loon’s activities. As at March 31, 2020, the Company was indebted in the aggregate amount of $375,667 to Timothy Elliott, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Loon, in the aggregate amount of $146,660 to Jock Graham, a member of the Board of Directors of Loon and in the aggregate amount of $26,800 to Norman Holton, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $795,797 of which $743,376 is the aggregate of Notes Payable to shareholders and amounts due to Directors and Officers of the Company. The need to raise capital to fund the working capital deficiency, ongoing operations, and the acquisition of future business opportunities that may arise, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no guarantees that additional capital, either through additional equity or debt will be available when needed. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reporting amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

In the opinion of management, the Company’s interim financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies outlined in the financial statements.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The board of directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee meets at least annually with the Company’s external auditors to review accounting, internal control, financial reporting, and audit matters. Internal controls over financial reporting have not changed significantly since the last reporting period.

Changes in Accounting Policies

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not adopt any new IFRS standards nor were any applicable pronouncements announced.
