Discussion of Operations
On February 7, 2024, the Company announced that the lawsuit filed on April 27, 2023, against Launchtrip and one of its officers for the repayment of a $250,000 loan was dismissed by consent and without costs to any party. Pursuant to the lawsuit, the Company was seeking repayment of a $250,000 secured loan it made to Launchtrip in connection with a terminated qualifying transaction. Although the Company continues to hold security over Launchtrip's IP, it views the probability of recovering any funds from Launchtrip as unlikely.
The company has continued to look for and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction but has not identified any with material potential.
Summary of Quarterly Results
| Q2 2025 ($) | Q1 2025 ($) | Q4 2024 ($) | Q3 2024 ($) | Q2 2024 ($) | Q1 2024 ($) | Q4 2023 ($) | Q3 2023 ($) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net loss for the period | (17,760) | (7,935) | (26,529) | (33,594) | (36,146) | (16,599) | (271,352) | (10,114) |
| Basic and diluted net loss per share | (0.00) | (0.00) | (0.00) | (0.00) | (0.00) | (0.00) | (0.03) | (0.00) |
During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $17,760, compared to $7,935 in Q1 2025. The increase in net loss this quarter is primarily attributable to increasing professional fees from $205 to $11,122, mainly due to audit-related expenses.
During the current quarter, the Company incurred a net loss of $17,760, as compared to $26,529, $33,594 and $36,146 for Q4 2024, Q3 2024, Q2 2024. The decrease in net loss this quarter is primarily attributable to lower operating expenses, including a reduction in professional fees, general and administration and travel expenses.
During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $17,760, generally consistent with Q1 2024 and Q3 2023 which incurred losses of $16,599 and $10,114 respectively.
Net loss for Q4 2023 of $271,352 was higher than in the current quarter, mainly attributable to a loan impairment of $250,000 relating to the Loan as described in the section titled Discussion of Operations.
Review of Financial Results – Year to Date
The Company incurred a net loss of $25,695 in this period, compared to $52,745 during the same period in the prior year. The higher net loss during the same period in the prior year is primarily due to higher professional fees in connection with the lawsuit (see Corporate Updates). Additionally, the Company implemented cost-saving measures during the current period, resulting in a reduction in general and administrative and travel expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company does not currently derive any significant revenues from operations. The Company's activities have been funded primarily through equity financing and the Company expects that it will continue to be able to utilize this source of financing until it develops cash flow from operations. The Company has been successful in its fund-raising efforts in the past, but there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in the future. If such funds are not available or other sources of finance cannot be obtained, then the Company will be required to curtail its activities to a level for which funding is available and can be obtained. The Company's ability to access funding is also contingent on the ongoing demand for CPC's and general capital market conditions.

As at October 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $29,651, compared to $55,346 at April 30, 2024.
During the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, the Company used $11,110 and $16,554 respectively, compared to $39,779 and $64,229 of cash used during the three and six months ended October 31, 2023. Cash used in operating activities primarily related to professional fees, filing fees and general and administration expenses.
As at October 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $31,931 and current liabilities of $5,938. The Company has sufficient cash and access to capital to meet working capital requirements, and obligations as they become due.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Related Party Transactions
During the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, the Company incurred general and administration costs of $nil (October 31, 2023 - $22,000 and $16,000 respectively) to a company with common officers and directors.
Commitments
The Company had no financial commitments as at October 31, 2024, and the date of this MD&A.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates and assumptions used by management where there is risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in preparing the Company's financial statements include the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, assumptions used to determine if a business combination is an asset or business acquisitions, classification of expenditures as intangible assets or operating expenses and the classification of financial instruments.
Changes in Accounting Policies and Standards
Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

For the Six Months Ended October 31, 2024

Shellron
CAPITAL
Financial Risks
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments as at October 31, 2024, are summarized below.
(a) Credit Risk
The credit risk exposure on cash is limited to its carrying amount at the date of the statement of financial position. Cash is held as cash deposits with a creditworthy bank.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company manages liquidity risk by attempting to maintain sufficient cash balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term obligations. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have maturities of one year or less. The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payables and accrued liabilities on the statement of financial position equal their contractual cash flows.
(c) Market Risks
(i) Foreign Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. As at October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, the Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company has a bank balance in US dollars. The Company estimates that a +/-10% change in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would have a corresponding effect of approximately $2,500 on the statement of operations.
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not have any interest bearing debt and is therefore not exposed to interest rate risk.
Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
- Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which includes cash, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
| Financial Instrument | Measurement Method | Associated Risks | Fair value at October 31, 2024 ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL (Level 1) | Credit and currency | 31,931 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | Currency | (5,938) |
| 25,993 |

CAPITAL
Capital Management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue a Qualifying Transaction and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the startup stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The proceeds raised from the issuance of common shares may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, to obtain shareholder approval, if applicable, for a proposed Qualifying Transaction by the Company as defined under the Exchange Policy 2.4, to cover reasonable expenses relating to the IPO and a maximum of $3,000 per month to cover prescribed administrative and general expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company. The Company currently is not subject to other externally imposed capital requirements.

Risk and Uncertainties
Risk Factors
Prior to making an investment decision, investors should consider the investment risks set out below and those described elsewhere in this document, which are in addition to the usual risks associated with an investment in a business at an early stage of development. The directors of the Company consider the risks set out below to be the most significant to potential investors in the Company, but do not represent all of the risks associated with an investment in securities of the Company. Some of the following statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this report. If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the directors are currently unaware or which they consider not to be material in relation to the Company's business, actually occur, the Company's assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Dilution
In order to finance future operations and development efforts, the Company may raise funds through the issue of shares or securities convertible into shares. The constating documents of the Company allow it to issue, among other things, an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as may be established by the directors of the Company, in many cases, without the approval of shareholders. The Company cannot predict the size of future issues of shares or securities convertible into shares or the effect, if any, that future issues and sales of shares will have on the price of the shares. Any transaction involving the issue of previously authorized but unissued shares or securities convertible into shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective shareholders of the Company.
Reliance on Key Employees
Shellron Capital Ltd.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended October 31, 2024
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, except where noted)
Shellron CAPITAL
The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees. The Company does not have any key man insurance policies and therefore there is a risk that the death or departure of any member of management or any key employee could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In assessing the risk of an investment in the Company's shares, potential investors should realize that they are relying on the experience, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Company. An investment in the Company's shares is suitable only for those investors who are willing to risk a loss of their entire investment and who can afford to lose their entire investment.
The Market Price of Shares May be Subject to Wide Price Fluctuations
If, and when applicable, the market price of the Company's shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts' expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, changes in the business prospects for the Company, general economic conditions, legislative changes, and other events and factors outside of the Company's control.
In addition, stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, as well as general economic and political conditions, could adversely affect the market price for the shares.
Conflict of Interest of Management
Certain of the Company's directors and officers are also directors and officers of other companies. Consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by any of such directors and officers relating to the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies.
Insurance
The Company does not intend to obtain insurance while it is a classified as a CPC. The occurrence of a significant event that the Company is not fully insured against, or the insolvency of the insurer or such event, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or prospects.
Global Financial Conditions
Global financial conditions over the last few years have been characterized by increased volatility and several financial institutions have either gone into bankruptcy or have had to be rescued by governmental authorities. These factors may affect the ability of the Company to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favourable to it. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the operations of the Company may suffer adverse impact and the price of our shares may be adversely affected.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a party to its financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk will be primarily composed of cash and amounts receivable. While the Company will attempt to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, there can be no assurance that unexpected losses will not occur. Such unexpected losses could adversely affect the Company.
Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements
The information provided in this report, including the financial statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected.
Controls and Procedures
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this and other Shellron public disclosure documents, including statements relating to matters that are not historical facts and statements of the Company's beliefs, intentions and expectations about developments, results and events which will or may occur in the future, constitute "forward looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation ("forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events and are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "could", "should", "expect", "seek", "may", "intend", "likely", "budget", "plan", "estimate", "continue", "forecast", "believe", "predict", "potential", "target", "would", "might", "will", and similar words, expressions or phrases (including negative variations) suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.
Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions and other important factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such assumptions and analyses are made by the Company's management in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management believes are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies, local and global economic conditions, and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including compliance by the Company with regulatory requirements, the sufficiency of Company's working capital; the Company's ability to secure additional funding; and the Company's ability to retain key personnel. You are hence cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Events or circumstances could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those estimated or projected and expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.
