DESCRIPTION OF NAVION’S BUSINESS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Navion Capital Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Navion”) was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on October 18, 2017. The Corporation is a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined pursuant to Policy 2.4 of The TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”). On May 18, 2018, the Corporation announced the completion of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share and filed for listing as a Capital Pool Company on the TSX-V. The common shares of the Corporation commenced trading on May 23, 2018 under the trading symbol NAVN.P.
The Corporation issued seed stock of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share on October 18, 2017 to founders of the Corporation.
The Corporation proposes to identify and evaluate corporations, businesses or assets for acquisition and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation subject to receipt of shareholder and regulatory approval.
On August 22, 2018, Navion and Hollyweed North Cannabis Inc. (“Hollyweed”), announced an agreement to combine their two businesses. On April 1, 2020 the Company announced that the agreement with Hollyweed had been terminated.
PROPOSED TRANSACTION
On April 23, 2020, the Corporation announced that it has signed a letter of intent dated April 20, 2020, (the "LOI") with Daizee Diapers Corp. ("Daizee"), a private Canadian company incorporated in British Columbia. Established in 2018, Daizee was formed to design and market a premium baby-care diaper product line for affluent, environmentally aware parents and their babies. Daizee's initial product line, "Hybrid Diaper", will be directed for sale specifically to physical retailers with in-store and online points of sale. Initial product trials have been concluded with consumer end-users, and the packaging and
{W:/DOCS/8178.001/43/00570883.DOCX /}
logistics systems are substantially complete, allowing Daizee to begin commercialization of their products.
The LOI outlines the general terms and conditions of a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of the Corporation by the security holders of Daizee and is intended to constitute the "qualifying transaction" of the Corporation under Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Corporation expects to be classified as an Industrial Issuer upon completion of the transaction.
The transaction is expected to result in the security holders of Daizee exchanging all securities, consisting of 9,663,336 common shares (not including common shares issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing, as defined below), 250,000 stock options, 190,000 special warrants (exercisable into common shares of Daizee upon payment of $0.05 per share) and 2,973,000 purchase warrants (exercisable into common shares of Daizee upon payment of $0.10 per share) for 9,663,336 common shares (not including common shares issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing, as defined below), 250,000 stock options, 190,000 special warrants and 2,973,000 purchase warrants of the Corporation, on the same terms, at a deemed price of $0.10 per share for a total deemed consideration of $966,334 (not including the Concurrent Financing, as defined below) (the “Transaction”). The LOI contemplates the Corporation and Daizee entering into a definitive agreement prior to May 15, 2020 (or such other date as may be agreed to by the parties). The Transaction is conditional upon the parties completing successful due diligence reviews of each other, the completion by Daizee (with the assistance of Navion) of an interim financing yielding at least $1.5 million in gross proceeds, requisite regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV, and standard closing conditions, including the approval of the Transaction by directors of each of the parties and those conditions outlined below. The legal structure for the Transaction will be confirmed after the parties have considered all applicable tax, securities law and accounting efficiencies, although it is not anticipated that the Transaction will require shareholder approval.
The Transaction is not a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction within the meaning of the policies of the TSXV. Trading in the shares of the Corporation on the TSXV has been halted and will remain halted pending receipt by the TSXV of applicable documentation.
Terms of the LOI and Conditions to the Transaction
The LOI provides that completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including:
-
A concurrent private placement to raise a minimum CDN$1.5 million in additional funds by the issuance of common shares of Daizee (the "Concurrent Financing") at an effective price of $0.10 per share. The proceeds of the Financing will be used by the Resulting Issuer for the marketing and commercialization of the Daizee products, the purchase of equipment, and general and administrative expenses.
-
The completion of satisfactory due diligence by each party by May 15, 2020; The approval of the Transaction by the board of directors of each of Daizee and Navion; The Corporation will have obtained all necessary approvals, consents and acceptances, including all necessary approvals from the applicable securities regulatory authorities.
-
The parties will prepare a filing statement or information circular in accordance with the rules of the TSXV, outlining the terms of the Transaction.

Daizee will obtain the requisite security holder approvals, as applicable, for the Transaction.
-
All requisite regulatory approvals relating to the Transaction, including, without limitation, meeting the minimum listing requirements of the TSXV and obtaining TSXV approval.
{W:/DOCS/8178.001/43/00570883.DOCX /}
- It is a further term of the LOI that upon completion of the Transaction the resulting issuer's board will be comprised of directors that will be nominated by Daizee and Navion jointly.

The Corporation does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends. The Corporation has only limited funds and there is no assurance that the Corporation will identify a business or asset that warrants acquisition or participation within the time limitations permissible under the policies of the TSX-V, at which time the exchange may suspend or de-list the Corporation’s shares from trading.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation’s risk exposures and the impact on the Corporation’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. The cash is currently being held in a solicitor’s trust account and a high quality financial institution.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Corporation raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.
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.
Interest rate risk
The Corporation is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Corporation believes it is currently not exposed to foreign currency risk since all of it assets, liabilities and operations are denominated in Canadian dollars.
Price risk
The Corporation believes it currently has no price risk.
The carrying amount of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION
There were no new accounting standards or amendments adopted during the quarter ended February 29, 2020.
Accounting standards and amendments that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are disclosed in Note 2 to the audited annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019 and are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future results and financial position.
{W:/DOCS/8178.001/43/00570883.DOCX /}
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
This MD&A is based on the financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of the financial statements requires that certain estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The accounting estimates for share based payments is based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which were fully tradable with no vesting restrictions. This option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Since the Corporation’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and since changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated fair value, such value is subject to measurement uncertainty.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at tax rates expected in the period during which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period of the financial information. The measurement of liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that result from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period of the financial information, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Share-based payments
The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Corporation’s capital currently consists of common shares. The Corporation defines capital as total equity which was $119,014 at February 29, 2020. Its principal source of cash is from the issuance of common shares. The Corporation’s capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going-concern and to have sufficient capital to be able to identify, evaluate and then acquire an interest in a business or assets.
The Corporation manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Corporation may attempt to issue new shares.
Subsequent to the IPO, proceeds raised from the issuance of common shares may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or business for future investment, with the exception that not more than the lessor of 30% of the gross proceeds from the issuance of shares issued in the IPO may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Corporation. These restrictions apply until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
This MD&A contains forward-looking information in the “Risks and Uncertainties” and “Outlook” sections that involves material assumptions and known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Corporation’s control. Such assumptions, risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those associated with, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, delays resulting from the inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, the effect of general economic conditions in Canada and the United States, industry conditions, changes in laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, increased competition, the lack of qualified personnel or management, fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates, stock market volatility and market valuations of companies with respect to announced transactions and the final valuations thereof, and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities. The Corporation’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits the Corporation will derive therefrom. The forward-looking information is made as at the date of this MD&A and the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
