Pursuant to the Arrangement, Explorinvest will transfer to AHSI all of Explorinvest's interest in the letter of intent with AquaZoom AG in consideration for 14,403,698 AHSI Shares, which shares will be distributed to the Explorinvest Shareholders who hold Explorinvest Shares on the Share Distribution Record Date on the basis of one AHSI Share for each Explorinvest Share held.

Explorinvest received shareholder approval to the Arrangement at an annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on December 17, 2021, and received final approval to the Arrangement from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on January 7, 2022. Shares for the plan of Arrangement have been issued on July 7, 2022

AHSI is a start-up business to implement hydro vortex technology in sustainable power generation projects and therefore has no regular source of income, other than interest income it may earn on funds invested in short–term deposits. As a result, AHSI's ability to conduct operations, including the development of its sales and marketing program, is based on its current cash and its ability to raise funds, primarily from equity sources, and there can be no assurance that AHSI will be able to do so.

The Company's head office is located at 302-370 Esplanade East, North Vancouver, British Columbia, V7L 1A4.

  • No warrants outstanding or stock options

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not have sufficient working capital to continue operations in the normal course for the foreseeable future and will require additional financing to remain financially solvent.

The Company's financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2022 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation in the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months period ended August 31, 2022, the Company incurred an operating loss of $3,903 and has incurred accumulated losses of $3,903 since inception. AHSI is a start-up business to implement hydro vortex technology in sustainable power generation projects and therefore has no regular source of income, other than interest income it may earn on funds invested in short–term deposits. As a result, AHSI's ability to conduct operations, including the development of its sales and marketing program, is based on its current cash and its ability to raise funds, primarily from equity sources, and there can be no assurance that AHSI will be able to do so.

To the extent that the Company continues to incur losses and its resources are insufficient to fund the Company until profitability is reached, the Company will need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders will be reduced and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Company's common stock.

No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay expenditures or acquisitions.

Management is currently investigating a range of strategic options available with a view to generating income sufficient to pay its liabilities and ongoing operating expenses, and maximizing shareholder value.

For the period ended August 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $NIL (2021-$NIL).

For the period ended August 31, 2022, cash used by investing activities was $Nil. (2021-$NIL).

The financing and development of the Issuer's business are subject to a number of factors, including laws and regulations in the areas of taxation, permitting and others, including hiring qualified people, and obtaining necessary services in jurisdictions where the Issuer operates. The current trends relating to these factors are favorable but could change at any time and negatively affect the Issuer's operations and business.

To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, expand its customer base, implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade its operations, provide superior service to customers, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There is no assurance that it can be profitable in the future.

The success of the Company is dependent upon certain factors that may be beyond the Company's control. There is no assurance that it can raise the funds required to operate.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION OR STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Certain statements contained in the following MD&A constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Canadian securities legislation and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential", "possible" and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results "will", "may", "could" or "should" occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding work programs, capital expenditures, timelines, strategic plans, market price of commodities or other statements that are not statement of fact. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company may differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include uncertainties involved in disputes and litigation, fluctuations in currency exchange rates; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs; the need to obtain additional financing and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in other information released by the Company from time to time and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies.

It is the Company's policies that all forward-looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs and assumptions which are based on information available at the time these assumptions are made. The forward-looking statements contained herein are as of November 2, 2022, and are subject to change after this date, and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise the statements to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws. Although management believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, there is significant risk that the forward-looking information or statements may not be achieved, and the underlying assumptions thereto will not prove to be accurate. Forward-looking information or statements in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, information or statements concerning our expectations regarding the ability to raise additional funds and find additional value in the biotechnology assets held.

Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in any forward-looking information or statements, including the underlying assumptions thereto, as a result of numerous risks, uncertainties and factors including: the possibility that opportunities will arise that require more cash than the Company has or can reasonably obtain; dependence on key personnel; dependence on corporate collaborations; potential delays; uncertainties related to early stage of technology and product development; uncertainties as to fluctuation of the stock market; uncertainties as to future expense levels and the possibility of unanticipated costs or expenses or cost overruns; and other risks and uncertainties which may not be described herein. The Company has no policy for updating forward looking information beyond the procedures required under applicable securities laws.
