During the quarter, the Company experienced an increase in sales to 65,646 grams compared to 58,668 grams in the same period in 2020. The increase in sales were attributed to the Company acquiring premium, high THC flower under the “Caliber Reserve” brand as well as properly pricing its lower THC counterpart that generated additional demand across provinces. While there was an increase of 6,978 grams compared to the same period in the prior year, growth was hampered by competitiveness in the flower market that was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company has been shifting its resources away from the flower market and dedicating more resources to the research and development for the production of Cannabis 2.0 products utilizing the APP technology (see Recent Developments).

General and administrative expenses decreased by $887,332 for the three months ended February 28, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. The difference was primarily attributed to a decrease of $340,108 in wages and $228,785 in office and administrative expenses resulting from a business transformation plan started in Q1 of the current year that scaled back on the cannabis cultivation and reduced staffing by approximately 75%. In addition, professional fees decreased by $276,545 as Sproutly narrowed its strategic focus to commercializing the APP technology, whereas the Company was incurring professional service fees in the same period in the prior year on potential business opportunities. The remaining reduction in general and administrative expenses of $41,894 was attributed to scaling down activities related to investor relations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s objectives when managing its liquidity and capital resources are to ensure sufficient liquidity to support its financial obligations, while executing on its operating and strategic plans. The Company manages its working capital by monitoring operational and cash flow forecasts to identify cash flow needs for general corporate and working capital purposes.

As of February 28, 2021, the Company had cash available of $171,818 (February 29, 2020 - $32,287) and a working capital deficit of $8,784,183 (February 29, 2020 - working capital deficit of $8,322,410).

Cash from Operating Activities

The Company used $1,137,163 in operating activities during the year ended February 28, 2021. The Company has incurred losses to date. The Company’s subsidiary, THR, received its flower sales license from Health Canada effective October 16, 2019, and its extracts sales license effective October 15, 2020. As a result, the Company began to generate revenue from the sale of flower through authorized distributors and retailers near the end of the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, and has yet to record revenue related to Cannabis 2.0 products.

Cash from Financing Activities

During the year ended February 28, 2021, Sproutly received proceeds of $855,000 from a related party loan, $105,000 from a private placement, $150,000 from a related party loan and drew $120,000 from its line of credit. The Company paid $29,307 in lease obligations and received $18,875 in sublease payments.

Cash from Investing Activities

During the year ended February 28, 2021, Sproutly used $7,103 for plant and equipment and received $26,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment.

Liquidity Outlook

The Company has incurred losses to date. The Company began to generate revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 but will incur losses until revenues reach a level where operations become profitable. The Company's ability to reach profitability is dependent on the successful implementation of its business strategy. While Management is confident in the success and profitability of the business, there can be no assurance that Sproutly will gain adequate market acceptance for its products or be able to generate sufficient gross margins to reach profitability.

The Company acknowledges that there is material uncertainty over the Company's ability to meet its funding requirements as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings or refinancing debt as it comes due. While the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past,

18

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

there is no assurance that it will be successful in closing further financing in the future. Also, there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained in a timely manner, or at all, especially in light of the potential impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on capital markets. Accessing the capital markets can be particularly challenging for companies operating in the cannabis industry. The Company has significantly reduced its operating costs and has put into motion various initiatives to expand revenues as part of the Company's strategic plan to attain profitability and positive cash flow in fiscal 2022.

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carry amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are described in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements which accompany this MD&A and are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Receivables are comprised of 43% GST and HST. The Company has assessed ECL in accordance with IFRS 9 and management determined ECL to be nominal due to the type of receivables.

(b) Concentration risk

Excluding GST and HST receivables, the Company’s accounts receivables are primarily due from six provincial government agencies representing 100% (February 29, 2020 – 26%) of total revenue year ended February 28, 2021.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its holdings of cash and financing opportunities.

Since incorporation, the Company’s primary source of funding has been through debt and equity. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. As at February 28, 2021, the Company had current assets of $918,264 to settle current liabilities of $9,702,447.

The Company has the following undiscounted loan obligations as at February 28, 2021, which are expected to be payable in the following respective periods:

Subsequent to the year ended February 28, 2021, the Company is closely monitoring its risks to its operations due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Factors that could impact production, prices or demand of its products that can materially impact cash the Company’s cash flow from operations, which could result in a cash shortfall and/or default in financial obligations.

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Commitments

On January 1, 2021, the Company entered into a one-year building lease agreement for monthly payments of $1,000 expiring on December 31, 2021. Future lease payments of the remaining lease are $10,000.

In accordance with the simplified transition approach and practical expedients applied, the Company elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for this lease.

Risks and Uncertainties

There are a number of risk factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those described herein. The following are certain risk factors relating to the business carried on by the Company, which prospective investors should carefully consider before deciding whether to purchase Sproutly Shares. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not the only ones that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company does not know about now or that it currently deems immaterial, may also adversely affect the Company’s business. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business may be harmed and its financial condition and results of operation may suffer significantly. References to the Company include its owned and partially-owned subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has an interest, as applicable.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company may include curtailment of operations if deemed non-essential, logistic issues related to supply and delivery of products, stock market volatility limiting access to market capital, revaluation of other financial assets, and delays in financial reporting. Canadian securities regulators have recognized the latter and provided blanket relief for filers with up to 45 day filing extensions. The Company has leveraged this for both the annual filings and first quarter reporting. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time. Management has implemented a business transformation plan in the subsequent year in order to ensure the Company continues as a going concern

Factors related to the THR Facility which may Prevent Realization of Business Objectives

The THR Facility was completed as of September 12, 2018. The Company has taken considerable measures and incurred substantial costs to ensure that the equipment, building and process are of the highest quality. Some additional risks relating to the THR Facility are as follows:

  • (a) breakdown, aging or failure of equipment or processes;

  • (b) contractor or operator errors;

  • (c) labour disputes, disruptions or declines in productivity;

  • (d) inability to attract sufficient numbers of qualified workers;

24

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

  • (e) disruption in the supply of energy and utilities; or

  • (f) major incidents and/or catastrophic events such as fires, explosions, earthquakes or storms.

Timeframes and Cost to Obtain a Licence Under the Cannabis Regulations

The timeframes and costs required for the Company, or any applicant for a licence under the Cannabis Regulations, to build the infrastructure required, to apply for and to receive a licence can be significant. Estimates of the timeframe and costs cannot be reliably determined at this time. Sproutly has received its processing and sales licenses from Health Canada and is currently waiting for Health Canada’s approval to sell oil products direct to retailers.

Ultimately, in the process of meeting all licensing requirements, a facility meeting the rigorous requirements of Health Canada must be available for inspection by Health Canada before any licence can be granted.

The Company’s Actual Financial Position and Results of Operations May Differ Materially from the Expectations of the Company’s Management

The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from management’s expectations. The Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow may differ materially from the Company’s projected revenue, net income and cash flow. The process for estimating the Company’s revenue, net income and cash flow requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. In addition, the assumptions used in planning may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company Expects to Incur Significant Ongoing Costs and Obligations Related to its Investment in Infrastructure, Growth, Regulatory Compliance and Operations

The Company expects to incur significant ongoing costs and obligations related to its investment in infrastructure and growth and for regulatory compliance, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Company’s operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this document, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our common shares may significantly decrease.

Regulatory Risks

The proposed activities of the Company will be subject to regulation by governmental authorities, particularly Health Canada's Office of Controlled Substances and the Canada Revenue Agency. The Company's business objectives are contingent upon, in part, compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the sale of its products. The Company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate

25

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

regulatory approvals for its products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Furthermore, although the operations of the Company are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the Company's ability to produce or sell medical marijuana or recreational cannabis. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the importation, distribution, transportation and/or production of medical marijuana or recreational cannabis, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

Governmental Regulations and Risks

The operations for the licence of the production of medical marijuana and recreational cannabis are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdiction in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from its proposed production of medical marijuana and recreational cannabis, respectively, or from proceeding with the development of its operations as currently proposed.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. The Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the production of medical marijuana and recreational cannabis, respectively, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production or require abandonment or delays in development.

The legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes may not be implemented as anticipated, and differing approaches to the distribution and sales by the provinces and territories of Canada may impose barriers to participation by the Company in the recreational cannabis market, and may also result in changes to the current regulatory regime providing access to cannabis for medical purposes

Health Canada’s approach to the regulation of cannabis includes legislation relating to adult-use cannabis, cannabis for medical purposes and health products containing cannabis. Such legislation is new and interpretation and enforcement activities may impact the operations of licenced producers or affect the

26

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Canadian cannabis industry generally. Any such regulatory changes could adversely affect the Company’s future business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, there is no guarantee that provincial legislation regulating the distribution and sale of cannabis for recreational purposes will be implemented or enforced according to the terms announced by such provinces, or that such legislation will create the opportunities for growth anticipated by the Company.

Canadian investors in the Company’s securities and the Company’s directors, officers and employees may be subject to travel and entry bans into the United States

News media have reported that United States immigration authorities have increased scrutiny of Canadian citizens who are crossing the United States–Canada border with respect to persons involved in cannabis businesses in the United States. There have been a number of Canadians barred from entering the United States as a result of an investment in or act related to United States cannabis businesses. In some cases, entry has been barred for extended periods of time.

The majority of persons travelling across the Canadian and U.S. border do so without incident. Some persons are simply barred entry one time. The U.S. Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security have indicated that the United States has not changed admission requirements in response to the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, but anecdotal evidence indicates that the United States may be increasing enforcement of its federal laws regarding marijuana-related practices or activities, including the cultivation, possession or distribution of marijuana.

Admissibility to the United States may be denied to any person working or “having involvement in” the marijuana industry, including in States where it is deemed legal, according to United States Customs and Border Protection. Additionally, legal experts have indicated that if the admission criteria are applied broadly, this may result in a determination that the act of investing, working or collaborating with a U.S. cannabis company is considered trafficking in a Schedule I controlled substance or aiding, abetting, assisting, conspiring or colluding in the trafficking of a Schedule I controlled substance. Inadmissibility in the United States implies a lifetime ban for entry as such designation is not lifted unless an individual applies for and obtains a waiver.

According to a statement released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on September 21, 2018 (as updated on October 9, 2018), a Canadian citizen working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal marijuana industry in Canada, coming to the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry will generally be admissible to the U.S.; however, if a traveler is found to be coming to the U.S. for reason related to the marijuana industry, such traveler may be deemed inadmissible and subject to the aforementioned travel bans.

While the Company currently does not engage in U.S. marijuana-related activities nor does it intend on doing so in the future, the Company’s involvement in the U.S. marijuana industry may change subject to the discretion of management.

The Cannabis Industry and Market are Relatively New in Canada and this Industry and Market May Not Continue to Exist or Grow as Anticipated or the Company May Be Ultimately Unable to Succeed in this New Industry and Market.

The Company and its subsidiaries are operating their businesses in a relatively new industry and market. In addition to being subject to general business risks, the Company must continue to build brand

27

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

awareness in this industry and market through significant investments in its strategy, its production capacity, quality assurance and compliance with regulations. In addition, there is no assurance that the industry and market will continue to exist and grow as currently estimated or anticipated or function and evolve in the manner consistent with management’s expectations and assumptions. Any event or circumstance that adversely affects the cannabis industry and market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The Company’s Industry is Experiencing Rapid Growth and Consolidation that May Cause the Company to Lose Key Relationships and Intensify Competition.

The cannabis industry is undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, which has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships. Acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm the Company in a number of ways, including the loss of strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share or forcing the Company to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm the Company’s operating results. As competitors enter the market and become increasingly sophisticated, competition in the Company’s industry may intensify and place downward pressure on retail prices for its products and services, which could negatively impact its profitability.

Limited Operating History

THR was incorporated and began carrying on business in 2013. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on February 28, 2018, and began generating revenue in the quarter ended August 31, 2019. The Company is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.

History of Losses

The Company has incurred losses in recent periods. The Company may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may continue to incur significant losses in the future. In addition, the Company expects to continue to increase operating expenses as it implements initiatives to continue to grow its business. If the Company's revenues do not increase to offset these expected increases in costs and operating expenses, it will not be profitable.

Risks Inherent in an Agricultural Business

The Company's business involves the growing of marijuana, an agricultural product. Such business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although all such growing is expected to be completed indoors under climate-controlled conditions, there can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on any such future production.

Reliance on Management

Another risk associated with the production and sale of marijuana is the loss of important staff members. The Company is currently in good standing with all high-level employees and believes that with well managed practices it will remain in good standing. The success of the Company will be dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management and key personnel.

28

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

While employment agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition.

If the Company is Unable to Attract and Retain Key Personnel, it May Not Be Able to Compete Effectively in the Cannabis Market.

The Company’s success has depended and continues to depend upon its ability to attract and retain key management, including the Company’s CEO, technical experts, management team and sales personnel. The Company will attempt to enhance its management and technical expertise by continuing to recruit qualified individuals who possess desired skills and experience in certain targeted areas. The Company’s inability to retain employees and attract and retain sufficient additional employees or engineering and technical support resources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, sales, cash flow or financial condition. Shortages in qualified personnel or the loss of key personnel could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company, results of operations of the business and could limit the Company’s ability to develop and market its cannabis-related products. The loss of any of the Company’s senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and strategy, and the Company may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of its employees.

Insurance and Uninsured Risks

The Company's business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, labour disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company maintains and intends to continue to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards encountered in the operations of the Company is not generally available on acceptable terms. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

The Company Currently has Insurance Coverage; However, Because the Company Operates Within the Cannabis Industry, there are Additional Difficulties and Complexities Associated with Such Insurance Coverage.

The Company believes that it currently has insurance coverage with respect to workers’ compensation, general liability, fire and other similar policies customarily obtained for businesses to the extent commercially appropriate; however, because the Company is engaged in and operates within the cannabis industry, there are exclusions and additional difficulties and complexities associated with such insurance coverage that could cause the Company to suffer uninsured losses, which could adversely affect

29

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

the Company’s business, results of operations and profitability. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to fully utilize such insurance coverage, if necessary.

Difficult to Forecast

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales, as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable or reliable from other sources at this early stage of the marijuana industry in Canada. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

The Size of the Company’s Target Market is Difficult to Quantify, and Investors Will be Reliant on Their Own Estimates on the Accuracy of Market Data.

Because the cannabis industry is in a nascent stage with uncertain boundaries, there is a lack of information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in deciding about whether to invest in the Company and few, if any, established companies whose business model the Company can follow or upon whose success the Company can build. Accordingly, investors will have to rely on their own estimates in deciding about whether to invest in the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates are accurate or that the market size is sufficiently large for its business to grow as projected, which may negatively impact its financial results.

Management of Growth

The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Internal Controls

Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Although the Company will undertake a number of procedures and will implement a number of safeguards, in each case, in order to help ensure the reliability of its financial reports, including those imposed on the Company under Canadian securities law, the Company cannot be certain that such measures will ensure that the Company will maintain adequate control over financial processes and reporting. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company's results of operations or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company or its auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in the Company's consolidated financial statements and materially adversely affect the trading price of Sproutly Shares. For the year ended February 28, 2021, the auditors identified deficiencies in financial reporting due to limited resources in the financial reporting function of the Company.

The Company's Success to Date Has Relied Upon Licences Which Must Be Renewed and Involve Ongoing Compliance and Reporting Requirements

Even though the Company has obtained a licence, such licence will subject the Company to ongoing compliance and reporting requirements. Failure to comply with the requirements of the licence or any failure to maintain the licence could have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. Upon expiration of the licence, the Company would be required to

30

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

submit an application for renewal to Health Canada containing information prescribed under the Cannabis Regulations, and renewal cannot be assured.

Licensing Requirements Under the Cannabis Regulations

The market for cannabis in Canada is regulated by the Cannabis Act, the Cannabis Regulations and other applicable law. Health Canada is the primary regulator of the industry as a whole.

Applicants and licensed producers are required to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, such as quality control standards, record-keeping of all activities, including inventories of marijuana, and physical security measures to protect against potential diversion. Licensed producers are also required to employ qualified quality assurance personnel who ultimately approve the quality of the product prior to making it available for sale. This approval process includes testing (and validation of testing) for microbial and chemical contaminants to ensure that they are within established tolerance limits for herbal medicines for human consumption as required under the Food and Drugs Act and determining the percentage by weight.

The CRA is responsible for licensing cultivators, producers and packagers of cannabis products and collecting federal duties and taxes. Provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the distribution and retail sale of cannabis. CRA Licensees are required to register for the cannabis stamping regime (if packaging cannabis products for final sale), calculate the duty imposed on cannabis, report, file and remit the monthly duty payable, report on unpackaged and packaged cannabis product inventories. The licences are valid for a maximum of two years and the licensee must reapply for a licence renewal at least 30 days before the expiry of the licence.

Cultivators, producers and packagers of cannabis products are required to obtain a cannabis licence from the CRA before production. In order to qualify for a CRA cannabis licence, applicants are also required to obtain a licence from Health Canada. Failure to comply with CRA licensing requirements can result in revocation both the CRA licence and the licence from Health Canada.

Under Canadian Regulations, a Licensed Producer of Cannabis May Have Restrictions on the Type and Form of Marketing It Can Undertake, Which Could Materially Impact the Company’s Sales Performance

The development of the Company’s future business and operating results may be hindered by applicable restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by Health Canada. The regulatory environment in Canada limits the Company’s ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If the Company is unable to effectively market its products and compete for market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through increased selling prices for its products, the Company’s sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

The Company could be Liable for Fraudulent or Illegal Activity by Its Employees, Contractors and Consultants Resulting in Significant Financial Losses or Claims Against the Company

The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Company that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its

31

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against the Company, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of the Company’s operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company May Be Subject to Breaches of Security at Its Facilities

Given the nature of the Company’s product and its lack of legal availability outside of channels approved by the Government of Canada, as well as the concentration of inventory in its facilities, despite meeting or exceeding Health Canada’s security requirements, there remains a risk of shrinkage as well as theft. A security breach at one of the Company’s facilities could expose the Company to additional liability and to potentially costly litigation, increase expenses relating to the resolution and future prevention of these breaches and may deter potential patients from choosing the Company’s products.

The Company’s Officers and Directors May Be Engaged in a Range of Business Activities Resulting in Conflicts of Interest

The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.

In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of its directors and the officers who may from time-to-time deal with persons, firms, institutions or companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company. In addition, from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, if such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

Unfavourable Publicity or Consumer Perception

Management of the Company believes that each of the medical marijuana and the recreational cannabis industries are highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the medical marijuana and recreational cannabis, respectively, produced. Consumer perception of the Company's proposed products may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory

32

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medical marijuana products or recreational cannabis products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to either the medical marijuana or recreational cannabis market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity.

Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s cash flows. The Company’s dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of medical marijuana or recreational cannabis in general, or the Company’s products specifically, or associating the consumption of medical marijuana or recreational cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Product Liability

If licensed as a distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of the Company's products would involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company's products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. The Company may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the Company's products caused injury or illness, provide inadequate instructions for use or provide inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claims or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company's reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of the Company's potential products.

The Company May Not Be Able to Develop its Products, Which Could Prevent It from Ever Becoming Profitable

If the Company cannot successfully develop, manufacture and distribute its products, or if the Company experiences difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, the Company may not be able to develop market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect the Company’s ability to effectively enter the market. A failure by the Company to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in cultivation and manufacturing processes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s

33

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

commercialization plans and the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

If the Company Is Unable to Develop and Market New Products, It May Not Be Able to Keep Pace with Market Developments

The cannabis industry is in its early stages and it is likely that the Company and its competitors will seek to introduce new products in the future. In attempting to keep pace with any new market developments, the Company will need to expend significant amounts of capital in order to successfully develop and generate revenues from new products. The Company may also be required to obtain additional regulatory approvals from Health Canada and other applicable authorities which may take significant time. The Company may not be successful in developing effective and safe new products, bringing such products to market in time to be effectively commercialized or obtaining any required regulatory approvals, which together with capital expenditures made in the court of such product development and regulatory approval processes, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is No Assurance that the Company Will Turn a Profit or Generate Immediate Revenues

There is no assurance as to whether the Company will be profitable, earn revenues or pay dividends. The Company has incurred and anticipates that it will continue to incur substantial expenses relating to the development and initial operations of its business. The payment and amount of any future dividends will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, financial condition and operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividends.

Product Recalls

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company's products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although the Company has detailed procedures in place for testing its products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the Company's significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

Competition

The Company will face competition from other companies, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than the Company. Because of the early stage of the industry in which the Company operates, the Company expects to face additional competition from new entrants. The Company expects that competition will become more intense, as

34

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified products. To remain competitive, the Company will require a continued high level of investment in research and development, marketing, sales and client support.

The Company may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and client support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The Company’s Operations Are Subject to Environmental Regulation in the Various Jurisdictions in Which It Operates.

Government environmental approvals and permits are currently and may in the future be required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from its proposed business activities or from proceeding with the development of its operations as currently proposed.

Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. The Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage due to its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Laws

The Company is subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada). Failure to comply with these laws could subject the Company to, among other things, reputational damage, civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures and legal expenses, which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. It may not be possible for the Company to ensure compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in every jurisdiction in which its employees, agents, sub-contractors or joint venture partners are located or may be located in the future.

Market Risks for Securities

The market price of the Sproutly 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.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends on the issued and outstanding common shares to date and may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the common shares unless they sell their common shares for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

35

SPROUTLY CANADA INC. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Financing Risk

The Company will be dependent upon the capital markets to raise additional financing in the future. As such, the Company is subject to liquidity risks in meeting its development and future operating cost requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. An economic downturn of global capital markets has been shown to make the raising of capital by equity or debt financing more difficult. These and other factors may impact the Company’s ability to raise equity or obtain loans and other credit facilities in the future and on terms favorable to the Company and its management. The Company may not be able to raise capital on favorable terms or at all, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and the trading price of the Sproutly Shares. Additionally, future financing may substantially dilute the interests of the Company's shareholders.
