Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Position and Results of Operations

August 11, 2023

The following discussion and analysis regarding the financial position and results of operations provides information of the operations and financial results of Tinkerine Studios Ltd. (“the Company”) that the management believes is relevant for the review, assessment and understanding the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. Readers may want to refer to the December 31, 2022 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes which are available at www.sedar.com.

Background and Description of the Business

Tinkerine Studios Ltd is one of Canada’s largest designer, producer and distributor of 3D printers, with its innovative software and learning through Tinkerine. It supports the growing demand for related online educational content, storage, software and resources for 3D programs in the design market.

Tinkerine designs, manufactures and distributes 3D printers in Canada, USA and the APAC region. The Company’s product offering is the Ditto Pro and Ditto Pro R which are well priced in each segment of the market, where the Company has developed a reputation for quality 3D printers and innovative and high quality, educational support for educators and design professionals and small to medium size enterprises (“SME”). As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic that impacted the world in 2020, the Company added personal protective equipment (“PPE”) to its product offering.

At the beginning of this fiscal year, the Company decided to leverage its software development and business advisory resources to expand its consulting services by offering its services in areas of hardware review and analysis, software development and business advisory to clients seeking services and expertise in these areas. As a result, the Company has generated revenues of $428,015 during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company continues to be a 3D hardware manufacturer and a supplier of filament.

The financial information in this MD&A is based on the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim condensed financial statements which have been prepared in Canadian dollars, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”)

.

Non-IFRS Measures

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Canadian dollars. Certain supplementary information and measures not recognized under IFRS are also provided in this MD&A where management believes they assist the reader in understanding Tinkerine’s results. These measures are calculated by Tinkerine on a consistent basis unless otherwise specifically explained. These measures are further explained as follows:

EBITDA - EBITDA and EBITDA margin means net earnings or losses before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign exchange gains and losses and stock-based compensation. EBITDA and EBITDA margins are not recognized as measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other corporations. Management believes that this metric assists in determining the ability of the Corporation to generate cash from operations and is calculated on a consistent basis.

Cash flow from operations – means cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash operating working capital. This measure is not intended to be an alternative to cash provided by operating activities as provided in the consolidated statements of cash flows, comprehensive income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Cash flow from operations assists management and investors in analyzing operating performance and leverage.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign exchange gains and losses and stock- based compensation (EBITDA) decreased to a loss in Q1 2023 of $35,568 compared to a loss of $113,989 in Q1 2022, an improvement of $149,557.

The Company’s net and comprehensive income for Q1 2023 increased to $34,610 compared to the net and comprehensive loss of $73,934 in Q1 2022, a increase in net and comprehensive income of $108,544 improvement year over year. The increase in income is attributable to increased consulting revenue, convertible debentures that have been cancelled, modification of lease, and reduction in our expenses, in particular, interest and accretion, amortization, stock-based compensation, and shareholders communications filing and transfer agency. Expenses that increased were rent and utilities, foreign exchange loss, office and general, remuneration and benefits and research and development. Our total cash expenses (total expenses net of amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation) decreased to approximately $132,628 in Q1 2023 from $134,211 in Q1 2022, an decrease of $1,527 in cash expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

1. Revenue

Revenue was $193,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus $47,838 for the comparative period Q1 2022, a increase of $146,064 for the first quarter of 305%. The overall increase in revenue is attributed to the increase in consulting revenue of $147,900, in comparison to $nil for Q1 2022. In addition, Canadian sales were slightly lower in Q1 2023 due to the slower educational market for 3D printers. While technology and STEAM continues to be emphasized in school districts in both countries, the implementation of these programs were disrupted, and this uncertainty continues in school operations in particular in Canada, as funding uncertainty continues to effective the school system

For Q2 2023, revenue was represented by 65% hardware printer sales (2022– 42%), 28% filament (2022 – 10%) and 6% services/consulting revenue (2022 – 48%). Included in services/miscellaneous is revenue that has been generated for contract work with clients where Tinkerine provide services for hardware review, sales support software development and business advisory.

There is a significant change in the product mix in Q1 2023 with the increase in percentage (76%) of revenue generated by the consulting services versus the product mix in Q1 2022.

For Q1 2023, revenue was represented by geographic segment as follows: Canada – $190,004 and United States – $3,897 versus geographic segmented sales in Q1 2022 of Canada – $37,802 and United States – $10,036. While the Canadian market sales saw a increase year over year of $152,202 due to a significant increase in revenue generated by consulting services of $147,900. The United States revenue was lower by $6,139 at $3,897 and was the result of a partnership with a US distributor whose business is tendering for US state government tenders to supply the schools in various states with technology including 3D printers and consumables

The number of 3D printers sold in Q1 2023 was represented by the sale of 9 3D printers compared to 8 3D printers sold in Q1 2022, a 12.5% increase year over year.

Filament revenue for Q1 2023 was $13,042 compared to $4,728 in Q1 2022, a increase in filament sales of 176%. Historically schools in BC have been the biggest customers of filament and the higher filament sales can be attributable to the timing of schools restocking their filament inventory.

2. Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31,2023 was $168,252 or 87% versus $20,222 or 42$ for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $148,030 over the comparative period. This improvement in the gross profit percentage is the result of the increase in the consulting revenue that is provided by the existing employees whose cost is captured in remuneration and therefore there is no cost of sales allocated separately to this revenue. In 2021 the contributing factor to the stable gross margin percentage were adjustments to salaries for government grants received by the Company to support salaries, as well as efficiencies in purchasing and supply chain management that improved the cost of goods at the higher revenue.

3. Expenses

In Q1 2023 the Company incurred $133,642 of total expenses compared to $164,905 in Q1 2022, a decrease of $31,263 in total expenses. This decrease was partly due to a reduction in stock-based compensation which is a noncash transaction and a reduction in amortization, insurance, interest and accretion, professional and consulting fees, offset against the increase in remuneration and benefits, rent and utilities. The Company has continued its measures to manage its controllable expenses and as a result the total cash expenses (total expenses net of amortization, accretion expenses and stock-based compensation) is approximately $132,684 in Q1 2023 versus $134,211 in Q1 2022 a decrease in total cash expenses of $1,527. The Company continues to review departmental budgets and corporate spending in all areas and these initiatives are further discussed below.

Highlighted quarterly expenses include the following:

  • Remuneration and benefits increased to $72,941 for Q1 2023 from $70,242 in Q1 2022, a increase of $2,699. The increase was the result of a increase in staff and changes to employees salaries. Staff responsibilities continue to be revised and redistributed to improve efficiencies in key functional areas.

4

  • In Q1 2023, $nil was recognized as stock-based compensation versus $14,687 in Q1 2022. This is a noncash expense and represents the fair value of stock options granted and outstanding using the Black Scholes calculation. Under IFRS, the expense is recognized as the options vest each quarter with a larger proportion of the expense recognized in earlier quarters. There were no stock options granted in Q1 2023. In the Q1 2022 period there was a reversal of $75,260 from the share options reserves to deficit for 1,1125,000 share options that had expired, unexercised and/or were cancelled.

  • Professional and consulting fees were $30,930 in Q1 2023 versus $39,267 in Q1 2022, a decrease of $8,337 in this expense. The decrease professional fees are partly related to decrease consulting services related to the Transaction that the Company is engaged in with Electrum Charging Solutions Inc. The Company regularly engages independent professional firms and consultants for corporate finance, audit and accounting services that includes services for audit, business consulting, bookkeeping, and business development and operations, research & development for services related to design and sourcing of new and existing raw materials, sales and marketing for services related to the development of programs and development of sales and marketing assets and investor relations for services related to the de-semination of the Company’s information and the communication with shareholders. We also regularly engaged legal counsel for intellectual property matters, employment law and general commercial matters .

  • Research & development was $180 in Q1 2023 versus $425 in Q1 2022. The expenses relate to R&D for products that the Company have been developing. This expense was related to design and testing of hardware for clients Management all contribute to the R&D initiatives to ensure better concept generation and faster development. All research and development are performed internally with expenses primarily being the prototype development and testing of new systems and new parts designed by management.

  • Rent and utilities expense was $13,956 in Q1 2023 versus $1,763 in Q1 2022. This presentation of the lease expense reflects the implementation and guidance of applying the modified retrospective method in terms of IFRS 16 to the office lease expense. IFRS 16 establishes the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of all leases. As a result, the right-of-use asset has been capitalized for the office lease and will be amortized over the term of the rental agreement. Lease liabilities were discounted at the discount rate of 5% as at January 1[st] , 2019. . As at January 1, 2022 the Company modified its rental agreement, reducing its lease space and exercising its option on the lease term and therefore adjusted the right-of-use asset and the corresponding liability for its office lease. The office is leased from a director and is situated in an area designed for improved logistics and the layout of the premises is designed for greater work flow and productivity for both production of the 3D printers and the open design improves collaboration of products like TinkU platform and other educational initiatives.

  • Interest Expense and Accretion Expense was $nil in Q1 2023 versus $15,559 in Q1 2022. This is an expense to recognize and update the present value of the promissory notes and the CEBA loan obligation on the balance sheet as at the end of March 31, 2023 and is a non-cash charge.

LIQUIDITY

As at March 31, 2023 the Company had working capital deficit of $1,264,902 compared to net working capital deficit of $1,299,671 at December 31, 2022. In 2020 the Company employees agreed to settle wages payable to them by issuing convertible debentures in the total amount of $599,087 with no interest, or dividend, convertible no earlier than February 16, 2022. Although this agreement was extended on February 17, 2022 to May 17, 2023 and subsequently, convertible debenture was reclassified as a current promissory note payable without interest, conversion or repayment terms. As at December 31 2021, it was considered due within one year and reclassified to current liabilities in terms of IFRS. The cash position is $11,133 at March 31, 2023 compared to the bank indebtedness of $31,180 at December 31, 2022.

As at December 31, 2022 the Company’s investment in inventory was $47,789 with inventory finished goods being $2,285 and raw materials of $45,504 compared to investment in inventory of $52,774 with finished goods of $$4,007 and raw materials of $$48,767 at December 31, 2022. Prepaid and Deposits were $22,385 at March 31, 2023 versus $9,740 at December 31, 2022. These payments are with regards to overseas supplier prepayment of raw material purchases.

At the time of release of this MD&A, the Company’s cash position is $6,804 and management believes the Company will require an injection of capital to ensure adequate operating working capital. On February 28[th ] 2020 the Company arranged an interim short-term loan of $75,000 at an interest rate of 12% pa through friends and family to continue a steady expansion of its business over the coming months. The Company also received the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) interest-free loan of $60,000 of which $10,000 is forgivable if repaid by December 31, 2022 and $20,000 is payable on demand (Note 10). While we are funding the cash deficit position by managing our payments to suppliers, forecasted sales, and postponement of staff salaries, we believe in order to continue our existing operations, the Company will be required to raise additional funding. In addition, any unforeseen downturn in sales or, alternatively, pursuit of a more aggressive growth strategy would necessitate additional equity investment, debt or convertible debentures. The Company had signed a definitive agreement on March 15, 2022 with Electrum Charging Solutions that is discussed later in this report under “Proposed Transaction”. On execution of the definitive agreement on March 15 2022, it was agreed that Electrum Charging Solutions will make available to the Company an unsecured bridge loan of cumulative advances of up to $100,000 to pay expenses of the Company, due and payable in the ordinary course of keeping the Company compliant with the requirements of the regulators and convertible into Tinkerine Studio common shares subject to TSX-V approval. As at March 31, 2023 $100,000 has been received by the Company. During the three-month period ended the Company secured an additional bridge loan of $10,800 interest free.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at March 31, 2022, the Company’s share capital was $4,382,373 representing 49,675,849 issued and outstanding common shares without par value. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 the Company issued no common share (nil – 2022). Reserves represent the fair value of stock options outstanding and vested and warrants issued, and is recorded at $298,515 as at March 31, 2023 versus $298,515 at December 31, 2022. During Q1 2023, the following transactions were recorded in reserves; nil stock options issued (2022 - nil) stock options were issued and stock-based compensation of $nil (2022 - $75,260) was credited to reserves, nil (2022- nil) stock options were exercised and $nil (Q1 2022 - $75,260) was reversed and credited to share capital, and nil (2022 -nil) share options were cancelled/expired and $nil (Q1 2022-$80,836) was reversed and credited to deficit.

As at March 31, 2023 the Company had 5,575,000 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.12 and an average remaining term of 2.26 years. There are no warrants outstanding as at March 31, 2023 or 2022.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as at March 31, 2023 and to the date of this MD&A.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

On December 5 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with employees to settle wages payable to them. Under the agreement, the Company may, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, settle the wages payable with shares similar to unsecured convertible debentures, with no interest or dividend, payable in cash or shares no earlier than February 16, 2022 and extended maturity date of May 17, 2023 and subsequently, convertible debenture was reclassified as a current promissory note payable without interest, conversion or repayment terms. The total amount of

6

wages payable was $599,087. This convertible promissory note has since been extinguished and a gain of $110,083 recorded in the income statement

The Company does not have any other instruments as at March 31, 2023 and to the date of this MD&A.

Management believes current cash resources are likely insufficient to fund its business plan over the next twelve months and therefore intend to seek further equity injection including alternative financing options.

Historical results of operations and trends that may be inferred from the following discussion and analysis may not necessarily indicate future results from operations.

BUSINESS RISK FACTORS

Each of the following factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

3D Printing Industry : The Company operates in the desktop market (alternatively described as the consumer segment) of the 3D printing industry. The desktop market has existed since 2008. Although projected to grow at a high rate, this segment can be viewed as being an early adopter stage market. The ability for the Company to successfully negotiate this market represents a substantial risk.

New Product Launch : The Company recently announced the launch of its online modular skills development platform and Tinkerine cloud program. Users can discover and learn 3D printing and skills with Tinkerine. The program is designed with a number of different users in mind including; 1) students seeking to develop 21[st] century skills through hands-on learning in their school programs, 2) entrepreneurs seeking a cost efficient prototype and seeking to test their design ideas, 3) small businesses seeking to launch new products or create small scale production runs and lastly 4) makers who seek to apply advance manufacturing to enhance their joy and upgrade their skills for their maker projects. All these user types can also explore Tinkerine’s 3D printing courses in video at one’s own pace. Tinkerine now provides a singular platform to skill up these individuals and businesses with 21[st] century tools needed to compete in a fastpaced world together with a powerful workflow system to optimize additive manufacturing. In addition, 3D printing has an array of applications across many industries and is critical in the ability of businesses to be agile and innovative in today’s manufacturing uncertainty which makes 3D printing a highly desirable and competitive centric technology. Tinkerines’ expansion into 3D content development, and the 3D suite of products that the Company is developing will provide the 3D knowledge baseline required by individuals and companies that are seeking manufacturing alternatives closer to their market using advance additive manufacturing. Although there is a need for 3D education in the 3D printer market, and has potential to grow at a high rate there remains significant risk that this platform will require time for adoption and therefore will require a significant investment to ensure its successful implementation

Consulting Services The Company launched its consulting services in March 2022 and offers, hardware, software, business development, marketing and financial advisory services to clients. Due to the nature of consultancy services, there is no obligation or expectation that clients will continue to require such services long term.

Dependence upon key personnel: The success of the Company’s operations will also depend upon its ability to attract and retain talented and qualified personnel. The Company currently has a small management team, several of which can be considered key to expanding the Company’s business operation, the loss of which would likely be detrimental to the Company.

Competition: The desktop market of the 3D printing industry is competitive with several direct competitors having much greater financial resources than the Company and operating experience. Furthermore, the desktop market is undergoing a period of rapid innovation with many of the participants striving to improve the technology and the flexibility of the products. These factors combine to make the competitive environment a substantial risk.

Financing risks : The Company’s existing financial resources have come from the issue of new equity and, loans and may be viewed as limited. Further the Company has negative operating cash flow and a cash balance of $31,180 as at December 31, 2022. Therefore, without growth in operating cash flow the Company will require further equity capital injection(s) to sustain itself.

tax compliance. While the Company endeavors to remain compliant in all such aspect, the inability to do so could have an adverse effect on its ability to continue to operate.

Foreign currency risk: The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company incurs foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, which will have an impact on the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets, liabilities and the amount of equity. The Company’s main risks are associated with fluctuations in the US dollar as a substantial portion of its parts and materials purchases are denominated in US dollars and a portion of its sales are denominated in US dollars. The Company does not utilize foreign exchange hedging contracts.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the Company’s business

In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries including, Canada, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. The Company’s business may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, specifically, disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, including disruptions from the Company’s suppliers, as a result of industry closures relating to containment of COVID-19 may result in the declaration by the Company’s suppliers of force majeure, which may result in the Company’s inability to complete orders in accordance with the agreed order schedule. In addition, the Company’s customers may determine to delay their decisions in connection with new orders as they assess the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty over the past months. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access capital, business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of the Common Shares. The extent of this potential disruption on the Company’s business cannot be assessed as the full extent of the pandemic and its full impact on the global economy cannot be predicted.

The Company’s markets are exposed to recessionary risk

A Canadian or global recession may result in lost or delayed sales orders, as many of the Company’s existing and targeted customers may cut back their proposed capital spending in the face of economic uncertainty. This would impact the ability of the Company to grow its business and, as a result, sales orders may be lower than expected. Any decrease in sales would negatively impact the Company’s cash flows and other financial results.
