MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
Management's Discussion and Analysis
This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is prepared by management on August 27, 2025 for Planet Ventures Inc. (the "Company", "Planet") in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
All dollar amounts referred to in this MD&A are expressed in Canadian dollars except where indicated otherwise.
Caution Regarding Forward Looking Information
This MD&A, which contains certain forward-looking statements, is intended to provide readers with a reasonable basis for assessing the financial performance of the Company. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "contemplate", "target", "plan", "intends", "continue", "budget", "estimate", "may", "will", "schedule" and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the risks and other factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A include, but are not limited to: risks relating to investment performance and our ability to generate taxable income from operations, market fluctuations, fluctuations in prices of commodities underlying our interest and equity investments, the strength of the Canadian, U.S. and other economies, foreign exchange fluctuations, political and economic conditions in the countries in which the interests of the Corporation's portfolio investments are located, and other risks included elsewhere in this MD&A. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect the Company's actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those acknowledged in such statements. Specific reference is made to the "Risks and Uncertainties" and "Use of Estimates and Judgments" sections of this MD&A for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.

OUTLOOK AND CHANGE OF BUSINESS
In October 2014, the Company received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to complete its change in business from a “junior mineral exploration company” to an “investment issuer”. From its inception up to October 2, 2014, the Company was a junior mineral exploration company that is listed under the symbol “PXI” on the TSX Venture Exchange. The adoption of the Company’s new business model constituted a “change of business” (the “COB”) for the Company pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.2 – Change of Business and Reverse Takeovers (“Policy 5.2”). On January 31, 2024, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the TSX.V. The Company continues to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the same symbol.
The Company established a special committee of directors to identify, examine and continue to consider strategic investments and alternatives available to the Company with the ultimate view of enhancing shareholder value. The review is focused on all accretive investments including those outside the resource sector. The Company may consider certain special investment situations, including assuming a controlling or joint-controlling interest in an investee company, which may also involve the provision of advice to management and/or board participation. The Company cautions shareholders that there is no assurance that the strategic review will result in any strategic or financial transactions.
Planet has been reviewing unique and exciting opportunities in the gaming, technology, hemp and resource sectors. The newly re-launched website www.planetventuresinc.com features up-to-date information on the company’s current investments as well as a concise messaging on their plans going forward. Management is working to position Planet as a leading investment issuer giving shareholders access to a wide range of investments in all sectors of the market. To date, the Company has made several strategic investments within the mining, cryptocurrency and blockchain arena in addition to its most recent investment in a legal web-based sports book. As of the date of this MD&A the Company has made a number of investments, as described in “Investments”.
In September 2017 the Company changed its name to Planet Ventures Inc. without changing its trading symbol.
Effective as of October 28, 2020, common shares of the Company were consolidated on the basis of one (1) post consolidation common share for every five (5) pre-consolidation common shares. All share figures presented in this MD&A have been adjusted to reflect the share consolidation.

INVESTMENTS
Investments in equity instruments at cost and fair value consist of the following:
| June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Investments at fair value: | ||||||
| Equity investments in public companies (a) | 6,643,264 | - | - | 10,467,36 | - | - |
| Investments in cryptocurrencies (b) | 989,550 | - | - | - | - | - |
| Equity investments in private companies (c) | - | - | 7 | - | - | 7 |
(a) Equity investments in public companies
The Company's equity investments are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of investment securities is calculated as the closing market price of the investment equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. Some of the equity investments are subject to a four-month statutory hold period. Stock options and warrants held that are not traded on an active market are remeasured using a valuation technique based on data inputs that are supported by observable current market conditions and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
(b) Investments in cryptocurrencies
The Company's cryptocurrency investments consist solely of Bitcoin ("BTC"). Cryptocurrency holdings are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the BTC investment is calculated as the closing market price of Bitcoin on the reporting date multiplied by the quantity of BTC held by the Company. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 6.786 BTC valuing $989,550.
(c) Equity investments in private companies
All privately-held investments (other than options and warrants) are initially recorded at the transaction price, being the fair value at the time of acquisition. Thereafter, at each reporting period, the fair value of an investment may (depending upon the circumstances) be adjusted using one or more of the valuation indicators described below.
The determination of fair value of the Company's privately held investments at other than initial cost is subject to certain limitations. Financial information for private companies in which the Company has investments may not be readily available and, even if available, that information may be limited and/or unreliable.
Use of the valuation approach described below may involve uncertainties and determinations based on the Company's judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized or realizable.
Company-specific information is considered when determining whether the fair value of a privately-held investment should be adjusted upward or downward at the end of each reporting period. Valuation techniques which use management-derived unobservable data specific to the investee are considered to be measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. In addition to company-specific information, the Company will take into account trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly-traded companies when valuing privately-held investments.
The absence of the occurrence of any events, such as a significant change in trends in general market conditions, or any significant change in share performance of comparable publicly-traded companies indicates generally that the fair value of the investment has not materially changed. The fair value of a privately-held investment may be adjusted if there has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a valuation different than the current value of the investee company, in which case the fair value of the investment is set to the value at which that financing took place.
Adjustments to the fair value of a privately-held investment will be based upon management's judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable. The resulting values for non-publicly traded investments may differ from values that would be realized if a ready market existed. In addition, the amounts at which the Company's privately-held investments could be disposed of currently may differ from the carrying value assigned.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from estimates made, relate to determination of fair value of financial instruments.

Valuation of investments
The preparation of these financial statements require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of the revision and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from estimates made, relate to determination of fair value of financial instruments.
In preparing the financial statements, management makes judgments regarding the application of IFRS for the Company’s accounting policies. Significant judgments relate to the following areas:
(i) Going concern assumption
Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if the Company will achieve profitable operation.
(ii) Income taxes
Judgements are made by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make judgments related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws.
While management believes judgements and the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those judgements and estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
(iii) Investment entity status
Determining if the Company meets the investment entity status under IFRS 10 requires significant judgment.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
As at June 30, 2025 and the date of this MD&A, the Company has no material assets other than cash and investments.
PLANET VENTURES INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
Portfolio Exposure
Given the nature of the Company’s activities, its results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon the market value of the securities that comprise the Company’s portfolio. Market value can be reflective of the actual or anticipated operating results of our portfolio companies and/or the general market conditions that affect the sectors in which Planet invests.
The Company’s investment activities are currently concentrated primarily in resource, biotechnology and technology sectors. There are various factors that could affect these sectors which could have a negative impact on Planet’s portfolio companies and thereby have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Additionally, Planet’s investments are mostly in small-cap businesses which the Company believes exhibit potential for growth and sustainable cash flows, but which may not ever mature or generate the returns the Company expects or may require a number of years to do so. Junior exploration and technology companies may never achieve commercial discoveries and production. This may create an irregular pattern in the Company’s revenues (if any). Additionally, macro factors such as fluctuations in commodity prices and global political, economic and market conditions could have an adverse effect on one or more sectors to which the Company is exposed, and a disproportionate effect on the sectors as compared to the overall market, thereby negatively impacting one or more of the portfolio companies concurrently. Company-specific and industry specific risks which materially adversely affect Planet’s portfolio investments may have a materially adverse impact on our operating results.
Cash Flows/Revenue
Planet generates revenue and cash flows primarily from its proceeds from the disposition of its investments, in addition to interest income earned on the Company’s investments. The availability of these sources of funds and the amount of funds generated from these sources are dependent upon various factors, most of which are outside of the Company’s direct control. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in the market conditions generally or to matters specific to Planet, or if the value of the Company’s investments decline, resulting in lesser proceeds of disposition and capital losses for Planet upon disposition.
Private Issuers and Illiquid Securities
Planet can invest in securities of private issuers. Investments in private issuers cannot be resold without a prospectus, an available exemption or an appropriate ruling under relevant securities legislation and there may not be any market for such securities. These limitations may impair Planet’s ability to react quickly to market conditions or negotiate the most favourable terms for exiting such investments. Investments in private issuers may offer relatively high potential returns but will also be subject to a relatively high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that a public market will develop for any of Planet’s possible private company investments or that the Company will otherwise be able to realize a return on such investments.
PLANET VENTURES INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
Planet also can invest in illiquid securities of public issuers. A considerable period of time may elapse between the time a decision is made to sell such securities and the time the Company is able to do so, and the value of such securities could decline during such period. Illiquid investments are subject to various risks, particularly the risk that the Company will be unable to realize the Company's investment objectives by sale or other disposition at attractive prices or otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In some cases, the Company may be prohibited by contract or by law from selling such securities for a period of time or otherwise be restricted from disposing of such securities. Furthermore, the types of investments made may require a substantial length of time to liquidate.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company invested $7 (March 31, 2025 - $7) in shares of private companies.
Share Prices of Investments
Planet's investments in securities of public companies are subject to volatility in the share prices of the companies. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for any of the subject shares is sustainable. The trading prices of the subject shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors beyond the control of Planet, including quarterly variations in the subject companies' results of operations, changes in earnings (if any), estimates by analysts, conditions in the industry of the subject companies and general market or economic conditions. In recent years equity markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.
These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on market prices, often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. Such market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of the Company's investments and significantly negatively impact upon the Company's operating results.
Concentration of Investments
There are no restrictions on the proportion of Planet's funds and no limit on the amount of funds that may be allocated to any particular investment (subject to board approval for investments in excess of a pre-determined threshold), industry or sector. Accordingly, the Company's investment activities may be highly concentrated in a particular company (or a limited number of companies), business, industry or sector, as a consequence of which, the Company's financial results may be substantially adversely affected by the unfavourable performance of that single (or few) investment(s) or sector.
Lack of Trading
The lack of trading volume in certain Company's investments reduces the liquidity of an investment in an investee companies' shares. Such lack of liquidity could impact the market price of the Company's investments and negatively impact the Company's operating results.

Planet is dependent upon the efforts, skill and business contacts of key members of management, for among other things, the information and deal flow they generate during the normal course of their activities and the synergies which exist amongst their various fields of expertise and knowledge. Accordingly, the Company's continued success will depend upon the continued service of these individuals who are not obligated to remain employed with Planet. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, net income and cash flows and could harm the Company's ability to maintain or grow existing assets and raise additional funds in the future.
Additional Financing Requirements
Planet anticipates ongoing requirements for funds to support the Company's growth and may seek to obtain additional funds for these purposes through public or private equity shares or debt financing. There are no assurances that additional funding will be available to the Company at all, on acceptable terms or at an acceptable level. Any additional equity financing may cause shareholders to experience dilution, and any additional debt financing may result in increased interest expense or restrictions on our operations or ability to incur additional debt. Any limitations on the Company's ability to access the capital markets for additional funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to grow its investment portfolio.
The Ability to Manage Growth
Significant growth in Planet's business, as a result of acquisitions or otherwise, could place a strain on the Company's managerial, operational and financial resources and information systems. Future operating results will depend on the ability of senior management to manage rapidly changing business conditions, and to implement and improve the Company's technical, administrative and financial controls and reporting systems. No assurance can be given that the Company will succeed in these efforts. The failure to effectively manage and improve these systems could increase the Company's costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Lack of Dividend Policy
The Company does not presently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, as any earnings are expected to be retained for use in developing and expanding its business. However, the actual dividends received from the Company will remain subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on the results of operations, cash requirements and future prospects of the Company and other factors.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
Possible Dilution to Present and Prospective Shareholders
The Company’s plan of operation, in part, contemplates the accomplishment of business negotiations by the issuance of securities and payments of cash of the Company, or a combination of the two, and possibly, incurring debt. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued common shares, or securities convertible into common shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common shares.
Conflict of Interest
Certain directors of the Company are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of the Company are required by law to act honestly and 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 or 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 interest and abstain from voting on such matter. 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 that time.
Volatility of Share Price
Market prices for shares of early-stage companies are often volatile. Factors such as announcements of financial results, and other factors could have a significant effect on the price of the Company’s shares.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 20, 2025, the Company announced that it closed its previously announced convertible debenture financing for total gross proceeds of $6.4 million.
No commissions were paid in connection with the offering. The gross proceeds raised under the offering shall be used to further enhance the company’s bitcoin treasury strategy and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The debentures carry an interest rate of 12% per annum and mature 24 months from the date of issuance. At any time during the term of the debentures, the principal amount of the debentures is convertible into common shares of the company at a conversion price of $0.50 per share, at the election of the holders of the debentures. The holders of the debentures have the right to redeem the principal amount of the debentures and any interest accrued thereon any time after 12 months from the date of issuance until the maturity date.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures used for the financial statements and MD&A as at June 30, 2025. Management has concluded that the disclosure controls are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed has been made known to them in a timely manner. The required information was effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period necessary to prepare the filings. The disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable securities laws are accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override to the future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
