FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks and advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Company's senior management provides assurance that the Company's financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured, and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and group risk appetite. All derivative activities, if any, for risk management purposes are carried out by a team that has the appropriate skills, experience, and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Corporation's financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk, as at period-end, is the carrying value of its financial asset. The company mitigates credit risk by holding financial instruments within financial institutions of high creditworthiness.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $378,271

Other risks

None of the Company's future cash flows of financial instruments are subject to change from other price changes and currency risks.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

This MD&A 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 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 Corporation'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.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Corporation's capital currently consists of common shares and options. The Corporation defines capital as total equity which was $365,481 at December 31, 2019. Its principal source of cash is from the issuance of common shares. The Corporation's capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going-concern and to have sufficient capital to be able to identify, evaluate and then acquire an interest in a business or assets.

The Corporation manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Corporation may attempt to issue new shares.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of common shares may only be used to complete the IPO and subsequent to the IPO, identify and evaluate assets or business for future investment, with the exception that not more than the lessor of 30% of the gross proceeds from the issuance of shares issued in the IPO may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

None.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

On January 8, 2020 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to complete its Qualifying Transaction by acquiring all the issued and outstanding shares of Artos Pharma Inc. ("Artos") and Tassili Life Sciences Corp. ("Tassili"). Conditional to completion of required due-diligence, and required approvals of respective boards of directors, shareholders and regulatory authorities the Proposed Transaction will result in each shareholder of Artos and Tassili receiving one Elephant Hill common share for each Artos or Tassili share outstanding, and one Elephant Hill warrant or stock option for each warrant or stock option outstanding at the respective companies on the same terms.

In connection with the proposed transaction there will be issuance of between 33,750,000 and 42,500,000 Elephant Hill shares at $0.20 per share to existing shareholders of Artos and Tassili. Additionally proposed financing proceeds of between $4,000,000 and $7,000,000 will be raised through completion of a private placement of subscription receipts.

Following completion of the proposed transaction, Elephant Hill intends to list as a Tier 2 Life Sciences Issuer on the Exchange and continue with the business of each of Artos and Tassili, in the clinal stage treatment of advanced sarcomas and pre-clinical research of the applications of psilocybin and cannabidiol on neurological disorders, respectively.

The LOI establishes that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement with substantially the terms described in the Letter of Intent (and other terms and conditions customary for a transaction of this nature) on or before February 28th, 2020. As of the date of this MDA, the parties have not entered into a definitive agreement.
