RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash, as all amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, as at year-end, is the carrying value of its financial assets.

Credit risk is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with a major Canadian financial institution with a strong investment-grade rating by a primary ratings agency.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal year.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company is a CPC and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no long-term debt.

The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has enough cash resources to fund the identification and evaluation of potential acquisitions. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue the plans of identifying and completing a Qualifying Transaction, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or by securing strategic partners.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. There has been no change to the Company’s capital management practices since incorporation.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this MD&A, including statements or information that contain terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "expect", "estimate", "may", "could", "will", and similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events, or developments that we or a third party expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including our future growth,

6

SMITHE RESOURCES CORP. Management Discussion and Analysis Three months ended July 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs and are based on information currently available to us. These statements require us to make assumptions we believe are reasonable and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results and developments may differ materially from the results and developments discussed in the forward-looking statements as certain of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control.

Examples of such forward-looking statements in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, our ability to complete a Qualifying Transaction at all, or if completed, on terms that are ultimately beneficial to shareholders. These forward- looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which include, but are not limited to:

  • our ability to obtain necessary financing to complete a Qualifying Transaction;

  • our ability to satisfy conditions under any acquisition agreement for a Qualifying Transaction; and

  • meeting the conditions of the Exchange with respect to the Qualifying Transaction.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this MD&A are qualified by these cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors contained herein, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this MD&A. Except as required by applicable securities legislation, we assume no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent information, events, or circumstances.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline, and prospective investors may lose part or all their investment.

No Operating History

The Company was incorporated on February 17, 2021 and has not commenced commercial operations. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of a material asset or a business (Qualifying Transaction) and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Even if a Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transaction.

Possible Trading Suspension or Delisting

Suspension from trading of the common shares may, and delisting of the common shares will, result in the regulatory securities authorities issuing an interim cease trade order against the Company. In addition, delisting of the common shares will result in the cancellation of all of the currently issued and outstanding common shares of the Company held by Insiders. Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Company to submit documents to

7

SMITHE RESOURCES CORP. Management Discussion and Analysis Three months ended July 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

the Exchange in the time periods required.

Halt of Trading

Upon public announcement of a potential Qualifying Transaction, trading in the common shares of the Company will be halted and will remain halted until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, or sooner pursuant to Policy 2.4. Neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the potential Qualifying Transaction.

Exchange May Not Approve a Qualifying Transaction

Completion of a Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval as such terms are defined in Policy 2.4.

Notwithstanding that a transaction may meet the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange may not approve a proposed transaction:

  • a) if the Company fails to meet the initial listing requirements prescribed by Policy 2.1 – Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange upon Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  • b) if, following Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction, the Company will be a finance company, or a mutual fund as defined under applicable securities laws;

  • c) the consideration proposed to be paid by the Company in connection with the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not acceptable to the Exchange; or

  • d) for any other reason at the sole discretion of the Exchange.

Approval by the Majority of the Minority

Where Majority of the Minority Approval is required, unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with the applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Company of fair value for the common shares.

Dilution

If the Company issues treasury shares to finance acquisition or participation opportunities, control of the Company may change, and subscribers may suffer dilution of their investment.

Reliance on Directors and Officers

The directors and officers of the Company will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of the Company but will be devoting such time as required to effectively manage the Company. The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers to identify a Qualifying Transaction of merit. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors and officers. The loss of any of its directors or officers could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.

SMITHE RESOURCES CORP. Management Discussion and Analysis Three months ended July 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

COVID-19

Since March 2020, there has been a global outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on regional economics in which the Company operates and could continue to result in negative impacts on the stock market, and the ability to raise capital and could impact the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company’s financial condition may be further affected by economic and or other consequences from Russia’s military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the Company to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy in general could negatively affect the Company and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.
