PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2024 AND 2023
700 - 838 West Hastings, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 0A6 Phone 604-369-8973 TSX-Venture: PEGA
OVERVIEW
The following management discussion and analysis of the financial position of Pegasus Resources Inc. (“Company”) and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2024 and audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2024. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements together with the following management discussion and analysis are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing the financial performance of the Company as well as forward-looking statements relating to potential future performance.
Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on the Company’s website at www.pegasusresourcesinc.com, or by requesting further information from the Company’s head office located at: 700 – 838 West Hastings Vancouver, BC, V6C 0A6 and its registered address is Suite 2501 - 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2B5.
Date of report: October 30, 2024.
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral resources, currently focusing on projects in North America.
As of the date of the report, the Company does not own any operating mines and has no operating income from mineral production. Funding for operations is raised primarily through public and private share offerings. It is not known whether the Company’s mineral properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts recorded by the Company for mineral property interests and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to raise funding for continued exploration and development, the completion of property option expenditures and acquisition requirements, or from proceeds from disposition.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under a going concern assumption which contemplates the Company will continue in operation and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, adjustments to carrying values may be required. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations and maintain its current operations is contingent upon successful completion of additional financing arrangements and ultimately upon the discovery of proven reserves and generating profitable operations.
Management expects to be successful in arranging sufficient funding to meet operating commitments for the ensuing year. However, the Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the costs of exploring and developing its resource properties, operating costs, the current capital market environment and global market conditions. The Company has a working capital deficiency at August 31, 2024 of $47,868 (May 31, 2024 – $147,880). For significant expenditures and resource property development, the Company will depend almost exclusively on outside capital. Such outside capital will include the issuance of additional equity shares. There can be no assurance that capital will be available, as necessary, to meet the Company’s operating commitments and further exploration and development plans. The issuance of additional equity securities by the Company may result in significant dilution to the equity interests of current shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the future success of the business could be adversely affected.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory note payable and loan payable as presented in the statement of financial position is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Certain non-financial assets and liabilities may also be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority. The levels and the valuation techniques used to value financial assets and liabilities are described below.
Level 1 - Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
10 | P a g e

Level 2 - Significant Other Observable Inputs
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. There are no items in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs
Unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) prices. There are no items in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Values

d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. As at August 31, 2024, the Company manages this risk by monitoring its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. As at August 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $47,868 (May 31, 2024 - $147,880). The Company may not be able to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $528,186 (May 31, 2024 - $387,364), and loans payable of $60,000 (May 31, 2024 - $60,000) which fall due for payment within 12 months of the statement of financial position date. The Company will require financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to generate sufficient capital to meet its short term business requirements. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms.
e) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. As at August 31, 2024, the Company’s cash is held in Canadian dollars and accordingly the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risks on cash balances held in foreign currencies is not expected to be significant.

RISKS
The Company is engaged in the exploration for and development of mineral deposits. These activities involve significant risks which careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not, in some cases, eliminate. The commercial viability of any material deposit depends on many factors not all of which are within the control of management. Some of the factors that affect the financial viability of a given mineral deposit include its size, grade, proximity to infrastructure, Government regulation, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, environmental protection and reclamation and closure obligations.
The discovery, development and acquisition of mineral properties are in many respects, unpredictable events. Future metal prices, capital equity markets, the success of exploration programs and other property transactions can have a significant impact on capital requirements.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of the same, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title to these properties. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
The Company’s current operations do not generate any positive cash flow and it is not anticipated that any positive cash flow will be generated for some time. The Company has limited financial resources and the mining claims, which impose financial obligations on the Company. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to allow the Company to fulfill such obligations.
Further exploration and development of the various mineral properties in which the Company holds interests depends upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit all or part of its interests in some or all of its Resource Properties and reduce or terminate its operations.
The Company’s properties are in the exploration stages only and are without known bodies of commercial mineralization and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Exploration of properties may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization. If the Company’s efforts do not result in any discovery of commercial mineralization, the Company could be forced to look for other exploration projects or cease operations.
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of the properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to its current properties that may result in material liability to the Company.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia’s military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and on the mining industry and other industries in general could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.

PEGASUS RESOURCES INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AS AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2024 AND 2023
Annual losses are expected to continue until the Company has an interest in a mineral property that produces revenues. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The Company’s accompanying financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Any forward-looking information in this MD&A is based on the conclusions of management. The Company cautions that due to risks and uncertainties, actual events may differ materially from current expectations. With respect to the Company’s operations, actual events may differ from current expectations due to economic conditions, new opportunities, changing budget priorities of the Company and other factors.
MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS
Certain directors of the Company are also directors, officers and/or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploring natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of the Company are required to act in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest which they may have in any project opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his/her interest and abstain from voting in the matter(s). In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at the time.
Current Directors and Officers of the Company are as follows: Dave Bissoondatt, CFO and Director Derrick Strickland, Director Chris Timmins, President, CEO and Director Noah Komavli, Director
OUTLOOK
The Company's primary focus for the foreseeable future will be on reviewing its financial position, raising funds to support exploration and operational activities, continuing exploration activities on its mineral properties and financing business ventures in the mineral resource industry.
