Overall Performance:
The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 25, 2020 and is a Capital Pool Company (the “CPC”) as defined in the Policy 2.4 by the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange”).
On December 10, 2020, the Company’s founding directors and officers subscribed for an aggregate of 4,020,001 common shares (the “Seed Shares”) at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $200,001.
On May 10, 2021, the Company closed a private placement with a director of the Company for 240,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for total proceeds of $12,000.
On July 16, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") through its agent, Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. ("Echelon") of 5,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share, raising aggregate proceeds of $500,000.
The Company’s business is to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a “Qualifying Transaction” as defined in the policies of the Exchange. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and, in the case of a non-arm’s length Qualifying Transaction, is also subject to “majority of the minority approval” in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies.
The Company has not commenced operations and has no assets other than cash and short term investments. The Company’s continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition, or business, or an interest therein. There is no assurance that the Company will identify a Qualifying Transaction within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the Exchange, at which time the Exchange may suspend or delist the Company’s shares from trading. Such an acquisition will be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities concerned and in the case of a non-arms’ length transaction, of the majority of the minority shareholders.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The information provided in this MD&A and the financial statements is the responsibility of management.

Risks and Uncertainties:
The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction. Further, even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the transaction. The Qualifying Transaction may be financed in whole, or in part, by the issuance of additional securities by the Company and this may result in further dilution to investors, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Company.
At the present time, the company does not have any market, currency, interest or credit risk.
Segmented Information:
The Company has a single reportable geographic segment, Canada, and all of the Company’s management and assets are located in Canada.
