DETAILS OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

Q by SoLVBL™

Q by SoLVBL™ implements key characteristics of blockchain technology without some of its bottlenecks: Traditional blockchain technologies (2018 and prior) have been constrained to <100 transactions/second. Recent developments have attempted to bypass these limitations, with varying degrees of success. Noteworthy academic articles have shown some results in the 10K20K range. The Company’s internal testing results have shown that Q by SoLVBL™ can perform transactions in excess of 100,000 per second.

The effectiveness and efficiency of Q by SoLVBL™ has been documented by Sonam Kaul, an independent cryptographer who was retained by the Company. Q by SoLVBL™ comprises the following features:

  • Immutability: One of the most attractive/useful features of blockchain / distributed ledger technologies are their ability to render data immutable (i.e., cannot be altered or deleted after the fact) and to provide non-repudiation (i.e., once a record exists, its author cannot claim it doesn’t or that they are not its author).

  • Speed: SoLVBL features can be achieved without the technical limitations and bottlenecks which have historically afflicted blockchains. Internal testing at SoLVBL has shown results in the greater than 100K transactions per second range. The development of Q by SoLVBL™ is ongoing and will continue into the future, such that throughputs in excess of a hundred and fifty thousand per second will be achieved.

  • Secure: No leakage of data into the public domain.

  • Integration: The application of Q by SoLVBL™ sits above and interact with existing software applications. The use of Q by SoLVBL™ is both software and data agnostic. Any current state system should be able to use Q by SoLVBL™ to its advantage, providing it with a courtadmissible audit trail, with very little effort needed for the integration itself.

  • SaaS and Other Features: SoLVBL operates its Q by SoLVBL™ network as software as a service (SaaS). SoLVBL’s client firms are able to utilize their current software infrastructure without interruption while APIs connect to their currently installed software. SoLVBL will not replace a client’s database or other programs but conducts and registers transactions of all descriptions: RFP’s, purchase orders, invoices, payments and many other similar transactions. These transactions are secured using Q by SoLVBL™ and are made available to all entities that are enabled by the client firm, thus allowing authentication of data prior to use.

Principal Markets

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

There is an increasing realization that cybersecurity and data integrity are growing in importance for even small sized Businesses. There is a history of attacks and losses at financial Institutions plus the recent spate of ransomware attacks on a range of industries has increased this awareness. This is a positive for the business development of SoLVBL’s solutions. SoLVBL is targeting four verticals for the sale of Q by SoLVBL™ . These are 1) Financial Institutions; 2) Healthcare sector; 3) Critical IoT infrastructures; and 4) Digital content production and distribution in the film industry, using the authentication and verifiable ownership standards of Web3 and Blockchain.

1) Financial Institutions

The initial focus will be on the major banks headquartered in New York and two of the main money transfer networks, the Swift Network and Fed Net. The initial approach will be to offer authentication of financial transactions. However, banks and financial institutions use data for more than payments. AI, Big Data and the use of algorithms are driven by the large amounts of data collected by these businesses. It is crucial that data is not altered or compromised prior to use. Once established, Q by SoLVBL™ will look to expand its use and target the range of applications that could benefit from data authentication.

2) Healthcare Sector

Along with theft and destruction, equally as damaging is the forgery of digital data. Altering, editing or in any way changing the data in medical records could lead to life threatening consequences for patients and potential economic collapse for businesses. Additionally, actions and decisions based on incorrect data can expose medical institutions to legal liability and reputational damage costing millions. We are looking at regional and provincial healthcare agencies to assist them in protecting medical records.

3) Critical IoT Infrastructure

IoT authentication and authorization are essential components of cybersecurity, whether consumers implement them on smart home devices or an enterprise on hundreds of IoT devices that track and monitor large-scale workflows and resources.

At their core, IoT devices simply connect to shared data. With so many devices in use, it's vital to secure these connections. An IoT authorization and authentication strategy begins with understanding how an organization uses IoT devices and how devices communicate with their network. Q by SoLVBL[TM] can provide a vital service to secure data transmission within critical IoT infrastructure.

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

4) Film and TV industry

The Film and TV industries have changed dramatically in the past ten years as consumers change their buying and data consumption habits from traditional cinema, pay TV and free to air TV to market disruptive streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. This disruptive nature is expected to continue as blockchain and WEB 3.0 technology offers alternative opportunities for consumers to engage in film and TV content.

The global film and video market reached a value of nearly $234.9 billion in 2020, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% since 2015.

The market is expected to reach $318.2 billion by 2025, and $410.6 billion by 2030[1]

An increase in loss from operation of $327,929 or 71.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 comparing to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily caused by consolidation of $632,913 loss from operations of Darkhorse, together with increased professional fees that recorded as a result of increased business volume together with increased expenses from DFL after the acquisition and the decrease of share-based compensation.

$Nil revenue generated in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

$Nil cost of sales incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Professional and consulting fees were $494,624 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with $126,515 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $368,109 or 291%. This increase was a combination result of $406,320 additional professional and consulting expenses consolidated from DFL’s post-acquisition operation result, together with less legal services incurred in Solvbl in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Salaries and benefits were $260,548 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $107,313 for the same period in 2022, an increase of $153,235 or 142.8%. This increase was as a combined result of the consolidation of $220,347 salaries expenses from Darkhorse and reduced employee head counts in the parent company.

General and administrative expenses were $31,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $25,068 for the same period in 2022, slightly increased of $6,254 or 25%, in line with the additional expenses of $6,245 that has been consolidated from DFL.

Shareholder services expenses were $2,106 for the three months ended March 31, compared with $114,372 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $112,266 or 98.2%. This decrease was mainly caused by the decrease of one-time marketing services that the Company has engaged in 2022.

Share-based compensation expenses were $Nil for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $87,653 for the same period in 2022. This 100% decrease was due to that all stock options the Company had granted in the prior years had vested, and there were no new stock options or shares issued in the three months ended March 31, 2023, hence no share-based compensation expenses incurred in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company intends to use its funds to meet funding requirements for business development and new customer deployments based on anticipated market demand. Actual funding requirements will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the success in executing our business plan, the progress of our product and business development efforts, our sales and our ability to manage our working capital requirements. Our existing cash balances and cash generated from operations, cash proceeds from new debt and equity financing will be required to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, growth capital and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43,728 as compared to $43,448 as of December 31, 2022. Total current assets amounted to $334,782 (December 31, 2022: $460,117, including $150,000 one-year-locked GIC investments), with current liabilities of $1,910,989 (December 31, 2022: $1,247,724 resulting in current liability exceeding current assets of $1,576,207 (December 31, 2022: 787,607). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations from its developed products, the continuing financial support of shareholders or other investors, or obtaining new financing on commercial terms acceptable to the Company. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Following the acquisition of Darkhorse Films Limited in October 2022, the company is performing an analysis of the allocation and use of working capital to the business lines that provide the best return on investment.

Off balance sheet arrangements

At the date of this MD&A, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage of development of its business.

Management

Shareholders of our Company rely on the good faith, experience and judgment of the Company’s management and advisors in supervising and providing for the effective management of the business and the operations of the Company and in selecting and developing new investment and expansion opportunities. The Company may need to recruit additional qualified contractors and service providers to supplement existing management. The Company will be dependent on a relatively small number of key persons, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Value of Our Common Shares

The value of the Company’s common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in and annual operating results, the success of the Company's business strategy, competition or other applicable regulations which may affect the business of the Company and other factors.

Additional Funding and Financing Risk

17

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

Additional funds will be required for future development. The source of future funds available to the Company is the sale of additional equity capital or borrowing of funds. There is no assurance that such funding will be available to the Company. Furthermore, even if such financing is successfully completed, there can be no assurance that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect the Company's business and financial position. In addition, any future equity financing by the Company may result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders.

Uninsured Hazards

The Company currently carries no insurance coverage. The potential costs that could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting the Company’s financial position.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain Directors and Officers of the Company also serve as Directors and officers of other companies involved in the technology sector. Consequently, there exists the possibility that such Directors or Officers may be in a position of conflict of interest. Any decision made by such Directors or Officers involving the Company is made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies. In addition, such Directors will declare and refrain from voting on any matter in which such Directors may have a material conflict of interest.

General Venture Company Risks

The common shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the common shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in common shares.

Uncertainty of Revenue Growth

There can be no assurance that the Company can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Company has

achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund an increase in its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To

18

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

Marketing and Distribution Capabilities

In order to commercialize its technology, the Company must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market certain of its products, the

The company must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. In order to maximize sales of other products, the Company may determine that it needs to either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its management and key personnel and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Company enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Company fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.

Rapid Technological Development

The markets for the Company’s products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Company’s products, or which render the products currently sold by the Company obsolete or less marketable.

The Company must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Company may be required to invest significantly greater resources than currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts and result in increased operating expenses.

Competition

19

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

The Company’s industry is competitive and composed of several foreign companies. The Company expects to experience competition from competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new

products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company to changes in enduser requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.

Intellectual Property

The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technological processes. Although the Company considers certain of its product designs processes to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Company has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company’s technology.

To protect the Company’s intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses various factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from the estimates used under different assumptions and conditions.

20

SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

The most significant judgments applying to the Company’s financial statements include:

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty. These financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption, which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether this assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The assessment is based upon planned actions that may or may not occur for several reasons including the Company’s own resources and external market conditions.

  • Impairment of non-financial assets - non-financial assets include property and equipment, and the right of use assets. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate and cash flow projections.

  • Leases renewal terms and incremental borrowing rate - Judgement is required at the inception of a lease as to whether payments associated with future renewal options are included or excluded from the calculation of the lease liability. Management must assess the likelihood of such options being exercised based on factors such as lease rates, improvements made and cost associate with exiting. Additionally, the Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (‘IBR’) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available. The Company Union estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific risk adjustments.

  • Revenue recognition - Judgement is required in identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations, determining the individual transaction price and allocating said price to the individual performance obligations making up the contract. Revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Company, and when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.

  • Provisions - Provisions are accrued for liabilities with uncertain timing or amounts, if, in the

21 SoLVBL Solutions Inc.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

opinion of management, it is both likely that a future event will confirm that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements of financial position and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In cases where it is not possible to determine whether such a liability has occurred, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss until the performance of some future event, no accrual is made until that time. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to legal proceedings which include claims for monetary damages asserted against the Company. The adequacy of provisions is regularly assessed as new information becomes available.

Significant estimates or key sources of estimation uncertainty include:

  • Current and deferred income taxes - Current income taxes require significant estimation in their calculation including the consideration of allowable deductions and tax rates. In assessing the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, management makes estimates related to the expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that the tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities.

  • Allowance for expected credit losses - Management determines expected credit loss by evaluating individual receivable balances and considering customers’ financial condition, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and experience. Accounts receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the year ended.

  • Useful lives of non-financial assets - The Company estimates the useful lives of property and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment are based on internal technical evaluations and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

  • Share-based payment transactions and warrants - The Company measures the cost of equitysettled transactions with employees and directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions require determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including

22 SoLVBL Solutions Inc. Management’s Discussion & Analysis For the three months ended March 31, 2023

the expected life, volatility, dividend yield of the share option and forfeiture rate. Similar calculations are made in order to value warrants. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

Changes in accounting policies including initial adoption

There were no new accounting standards adopted by the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit amounting to $12,051,659 (December 31, 2022: $11,261,987). As of March 31, 2023, the Company had current liabilities exceeding current assets of $1,576,207 (December 31, 2022: $787,607). The Company has generated negative operating cashflow of $149,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022: $385,889). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations from its developed products, the continuing financial support of shareholders or other investors, or obtaining new financing on commercial terms acceptable to the Company. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect any events since December 31, 2022 or the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from this uncertainty.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure of Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for the design of internal controls over financial reporting within the Company in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the Company's most recent period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Related Party Transactions & Key Management Compensation

Key management is defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company. The Company's key management personnel include the founders of the company and other key senior executives.
