TOTEC RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Working capital as at September 30, 2022 was $93,034 (March 31, 2022: $113,157), and comprised cash of $89,099 (March 31, 2022: $129,931), prepaid expenses and deposits of $19,098 (March 31, 2022: $Nil) and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16,230 (March 31, 2021: $16,774).

The Company’s continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an agreement to acquire an interest in a material asset or business and obtain the necessary financing to do so, within 24 months of listing on the TSX-V.

Summary of Corporate Activities

During the six-months period ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued:

i) 2,600,000 common shares were subscribed and issued at $0.05 per share for proceeds of $130,000 by directors and officers of the Company. These shares will be held in escrow under an escrow agreement. The common shares will be released from escrow on the date of the final Qualifying Transaction Bulletin under the following terms: 25% to be released on the date the Transaction bulletin is issued, and 25% to be released every six months thereafter; and

ii) 100,000 common shares to a director of the Company at a price of $0.05 per common share for total proceeds of $5,000. These shares will be held in escrow under an escrow agreement. The common shares will be released from escrow on the date of the final Qualifying Transaction Bulletin under the following terms: 25% to be released on the date the Transaction bulletin is issued, and 25% to be released every six months thereafter.

Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and amortized cost. The basis for classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVOCI”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

TOTEC RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows:

IFRS 9
Asset or Liability Classification
Cash FVTPL
Receivables Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost

A fuller description of financial instruments is provided in Note 3 to the audited financial statements for the year March 31, 2022.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Capital Expenditures

As at September 30, 2022, the Company’s working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $93,034 (March 31, 2022: $113,157). Management believes the existing working capital to be sufficient for the Company to meet its ongoing obligations as a CPC. Further financing may be required, however, to provide funding for future operations. The successful completion of such financing is not guaranteed, and depends on a number of factors, including the general sentiment in the capital markets, the strength of commodities prices and the strength of the local and global economies.

Other source of funds potentially available to the Company is through the exercise of 100,000 stock options granted to directors and officers at a price of $0.05 per share expiring ten years from the grant date until May 07, 2031.

TOTEC RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

The proceeds raised from the issuance of common shares may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that the Company cannot spend more than the $3,000 per month on allowable general and administrative (G&A) expenses until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction for purposes other than to identify and evaluate assets or businesses and obtain shareholder approval for a proposed Qualifying Transaction if necessary. These restrictions apply until completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Company as defined under the Exchange Policy 2.4.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and interest receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and G.I.C.’s with major financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2022, the Company’s cash and receivables exceeded its current liabilities. In order to meet future obligations as they become due, the Company may need to access funding from the issuance of equity securities, the exercise of stock options or through other sources. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain and there is no assurance of continued access to equity funding.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.

a) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at the financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risks on cash and on the Company’s obligations are not considered significant.

TOTEC RESOURCES LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any accounts in foreign currencies and considers foreign currency risk insignificant.

c)

Price risk

Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

The Company’s business and operations could be adversely affected by the outbreak of an epidemic or a pandemic or other health crises, including the recent outbreak of COVID19. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency. Global government actions, along with market uncertainty could cause an economic slowdown resulting in a decrease in the demand for metals and have a negative impact on metal prices, as well as possible disruptions to global supply chains. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Related Party Transactions

The aggregate amount of expenditures paid or payable to key management personnel consisting of directors, former directors or companies with common directors was as follows:
