NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 19, 2018. The Company is a Capital Pool Company (a " CPC ") as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the " Exchange "). The Company has not commenced commercial operations and proposes to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation subject to receipt of regulatory approval.
Until completion of a Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4), the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as permitted under Exchange policies, the funds raised pursuant to the Company's initial public offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.
There is no assurance that the Company will identify an appropriate business or asset for acquisition or investment in the future and even if so identified and warranted, it may not be able to finance such acquisition or investment. Additional funds may be required to enable the Company to pursue such an initiative and the Company may be unable to obtain such financing on terms which are satisfactory to it. Furthermore, there is no assurance that a business or asset acquired will be profitable.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, meaning the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate, negotiate and complete a Qualifying Transaction, all of which entail a certain level of uncertainty.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
This MDA is based on the financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of the financial statements requires that certain estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and income and expenses. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The accounting estimates for share based payments is based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which were fully tradable with no vesting restrictions. This option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Since the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and since changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated fair value, such value is subject to measurement uncertainty.
Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION
There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the period ended August 31, 2021 that had a material effect on its financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to its financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2021.
New standards and interpretations adopted
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments, and improvements to existing standards were issued by IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods. There were no new standards adopted by the Company.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all the other information included in this MDA before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company
{03185834;1}
could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all their investment.
No Operating History
The Company was incorporated on December 19, 2018, has not commenced commercial operations. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of a material asset or a business (Qualifying Transaction) and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Even if a Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.
Halt of Trading
Upon public announcement of a potential Qualifying Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Qualifying Transaction.
Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction
Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to several conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.
Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Qualifying Transaction; the Exchange may not approve a proposed transaction:
-
(a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;
-
(b) if, following Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws;
-
(c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or
-
(d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.
Approval by the Majority of the Minority
Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.
Dilution
If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and subscribers may suffer dilution of their investment.
Directors and Officers
The directors and officers of the Company will not be devoting all their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for assets or businesses on their own behalf or on behalf of
{03185834;1}
others such that conflicts may arise from time to time. Because of such conflicts, the Company may be exposed to liability and its ability to achieve its business objectives may be impaired.
Reliance on Management
The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors and officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.
Foreign Acquisition
In the event the Company identifies a foreign business as a proposed transaction (as is the case with the Transaction), investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant travel restrictions, social distancing, Government response actions, business closures and business disruptions, can all have an impact on the Company’s operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be further impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on global financial markets which may reduce share prices and financial liquidity and thereby severely limit the financing capital available to the Company.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
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
The fair value of cash is measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in receivables is remote and has deposited cash in high credit quality financial institutions.
{03185834;1}
Liquidity risk
As of August 31, 2021, the Company had cash balance of $364,179 (February 29, 2021 - $407,505) to settle current liabilities of $7,588 (February 29, 2021 - $8,905). The Company is not exposed to liquidity risk.
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.
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade demand investments issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk as no assets or liabilities are denominated in foreign currency. Price risk
The Company’s exposure to price risk with respect to equity prices is insignificant. 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.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company is a CPC and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no longterm debt.
The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has enough cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue the plans of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. There has been no change to the Company’s capital management practices since incorporation.
