SILK ROAD ENERGY INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS For the twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2020

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Quarterly Highlights (“MD&A”) for Silk Road Energy Inc. (“Silk Road” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with: the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”) and the notes thereto, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); the MD&A for the year ended September 30, 2020.

The effective date of this MD&A is July 29, 2021.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

There was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the Company anticipates this outbreak and increased government regulations, which may delay the finalization of any pending transactions and may negatively affect the Company’s business and financial condition.

OVERVIEW

Silk Road is a publicly traded company that operates in the oil and gas industries. The Company’s primary listing exchange is the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: SLK). On February 1, 2019, the Company’s stock was cease-traded by the Alberta Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission as a consequence of failing to file its annual audited financial statements, annual management’s discussion and analysis and certification of the annual filings for the year ended 30 September 2018. The Company was subsequently moved the TSX Venture Exchange’s subset trading platform known as the NEX.

Background

Silk Road was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on November 9, 2010 and was classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”). On January 28, 2014, the Company entered into a formal acquisition agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) with Gold Note Resources Inc. (“Gold Note”), pursuant to which the Company has completed the purchase of certain oil production, oil and gas reserves, lands, leases and miscellaneous interests held by Gold Note in the Bashaw, Columbia and Thornbury areas of Alberta (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition constitutes the Company’s qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) under the applicable policies of the Exchange.

1 | P a g e

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company purchased, on industry standard terms, certain non-operated petroleum and natural gas rights, oil and gas production, tangibles, oil and gas reserves, lands, leases and miscellaneous interests including seven (7) gross producing wells (the “Assets”) located in the Bashaw, Columbia and Thornbury areas in Alberta, Canada for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 inclusive of applicable taxes and in Canadian funds, payable by way of 2,352,941 common shares of Silk Road (“Consideration Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.17 per Common Share and $100,000 cash. The Consideration Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement between Silk Road, Gold Note, and Olympia Trust Company dated January 24, 2014.

During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company disposed of (5) gross producing wells in the Columbia GCU.

The completion of the Acquisition by the Company was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the TSXV as the Qualifying Transaction of the Company. As a result, the Corporation was no longer considered a Capital Pool Company as of January 29, 2014.

During the last half of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company began its work towards the revocation of its cease-trade order issued jointly by the Alberta Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission and its reinstatement for the re-listing of its common shares for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. During the fiscal year, the Company applied to the Alberta Securities Commission for a partial revocation order. On October 24, 2019, the Alberta Securities Commission granted a partial revocation order to permit the Company to complete a private placement (the “Private Placement ” ) of units of the Issuer (“Units”), each Unit consisting of one Preferred Share and one Preferred Share purchase warrant, for gross proceeds of up to $185,000, to one or more subscribers, solely in order to cover all costs and fees (which includes audit fees, professional fees, late filing fees and any other applicable fees) that are related to the fulfillment by the Company of all of its disclosure obligations and in order to file all the financial statements and related certifications for all previously ended financial years and interim periods since the date of the cease-trade order as required by applicable law and to provide it with sufficient working capital to continue its operations until it can apply for and receive a full revocation of the cease-trade order.

CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD

During the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company announced the following developments.

On May 2, 2020, the Company was granted approval by the TSX Venture Exchange to commence a Private Placement of Units consisting of a preferred share priced at $0.025 per share and one half of one preferred share purchase warrant at a price of $0.10 per share exercisable for 12 months. The preferred shares are to be converted into common shares with the resumption of trading.

On June 26, 2020, Silk Road announced that it had closed the first tranche of its previously announced Private Placement in which a total of 3,280,000 Units were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $82,000. Each Unit was comprised of one Class A Preferred Share in the capital of the Company (“Preferred Share”) and one half of one Preferred Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant

2 | P a g e

entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Preferred Share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 12 months from the date such Warrant was issued. The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Company and will be entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company on the Preferred Shares. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Preferred Shares will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company ration an amount equal to $0.025, subject to certain adjustments. The Preferred Shares are also convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the Company.

On August 5, 2020, Silk Road announced that it had closed the second tranche of its previously announced Private Placement in which a total of 1,000,000 Units were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000 under the same terms and conditions.

The Private Placement was conducted further to a partial revocation order which was issued by the Alberta Securities Commission dated October 24, 2019, and the proceeds of the private placement are being used to, among other things, bring the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations up to date, to apply for a full revocation of the failure to file cease trade order dated February 1, 2019, and to pay outstanding and related fees. Copies of the partial revocation order and the failure to file cease trade order can be found on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ website at securities-administrators.ca. The Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement will remain subject to the failure to file cease trade order until a full revocation order is received.

The Company, an oil and gas issuer, continued to seek opportunities in the oil and gas industry. The Company has also contemplated looking at opportunities in the gold exploration and mining business in parallel.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 27, 2021, the Company received the final acceptance from the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange concerning the Private Placement.

On June 2, 2021, the Company submitted an application (the “ Application ”) pursuant to Section 33 of National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions (“ NP 11-207 ”), for an order for a full revocation order dual failure-to-file cease trade order dated February 1, 2019 (the “ FFCTO ”) issued by the Alberta Securities Commission and evidencing the decision of Ontario Securities Commission in connection with the failure of Silk Road to file its annual audited financial statements, annual management discussion and analysis, and certification of annual filings for the year ended September 30, 2018, by the required filing deadlines.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Company reported total assets of $80,546 as at September 30, 2020 (September 30, 2019: $26,016), an increase of $54,440. This was primarily driven by the net proceeds of the private placement. Overall liabilities increased by $56,103.

Shareholders’ deficit was $826,741 at September 30, 2020 (September 30, 2019: shareholders’ deficit of

3 | P a g e

$866,161), an increase of $1,683. This slight increase is primarily due to the Company receiving capital from the private placement combined with the payment of debts owed to securities commissions.

During the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company generated production revenues of $20,714 (2019 – $8,324) and operating expenses of $19,443 (2019 - $3,105) and general and administration expenses of $101,612 (2019 - $115,923) and depletion, impairment and accretion expenses of $8,342 (2019 - $24,960).

For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company had negative working capital of ($846,542) (2019 – ($757,209)) comprised of cash or cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company reported a net comprehensive loss of $ (108,683) in the reporting period (2019 - $ (135,664), a decrease of $26,981 and, with production halting during the Reporting Period, no current sources of cash inflows other than the balance of the Private Placement

OUTLOOK

The Company will continue to work with the securities commissions and the TSX Venture Exchange in order to have the cease-trade order revoked and to become reinstated on the TSX Venture Exchange and have the Company’s common shares trading. Net losses during the reporting period indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Company will continue to seek opportunities in the oil and gas sectors, including the acquisition of or joint venture in production and exploration concessions, and concurrently contemplate opportunities in the mining and exploration sectors. The Company is looking for potential asset acquisitions that will generate future positive cash flows.

COVID-19

The management of the Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation and attempt to orient the Company’s operations and corporate strategy accordingly.

The only capital requirements that the Company faces in the near term is for accounting, audit and regulatory fees.
