In the last few years the Company was mainly relying on funds from repayment of debts from related parties and advance from shareholders, and private placements.

The Company obtained Canada Emergency Business Account {CEBA) loans in the amount of $80,000 from the TD Canada Trust and Royal Bank of Canada guaranteed by the Canadian government. The loans are non-interest bearing until December 31, 2022 and repayment of the loan prior to December 31, 2022 will result on loan forgiveness of 25% or $20,000.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, RISKS AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Fair Value

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified using a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance and transparency of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements:

Level 1 - inputs are unadjusted quoted prices of identical instruments in active markets;

  • Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 one or more significant inputs used in a valuation technique to determine fair value are unobserved.

The carrying amount of the Company's cash, due to and due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Risks

Please refer to the Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2020 for the risks and risk management.

Capital Management

The Company's capital management objectives are to ensure sufficient liquidity to support its financial obligations and raise the necessary equity financing to execute its operating and strategic growth plans. In the management of capital, the Company includes items in shareholders' equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income) in the definition of capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors oversees the Company's capital structure and financial management, approves matters related to acquisitions, investments and financing and continuously monitors the Company's exposure to financial risks.

The Company is still currently in its development stage, and has not paid dividends on any occasion, but has instead reinvested cash mainly to finance ongoing operating and development activities and thereby create growth for the Company. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned business expansion and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its funds available and raise additional amounts as needed.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There was no executed loan agreement between the Company and Mr. Simon Tam and there is no directors' resolution executed to approve this loan.

The Company has not collected this amount to the date of this report and will seek legal remedy.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Critical accounting estimates and judgments are those that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment and are often applied to matters or outcomes that are inherently uncertain and subject to change. As such, management cautions that future events often vary from forecasts and expectations and that estimates routinely require adjustment.

Management considers the following areas to be those where the significant estimates, which may involve assumptions requiring the application of judgments, are used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Evaluation of the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Management has applied judgements in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing these consolidated financial statements. Management prepares the consolidated

financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy and finance the operations through achieving positive cash flow from operations or by obtaining additional funding through debt or equity financing involves judgments. Management monitors future cash requirements to assess the Company's ability to realize assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Please refer to Note 1 for more information.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles as described in the note 3 to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as at May 31, 2021.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

All significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.

The Company's financial instruments comprise of cash, receivables, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The fair value of cash and marketable securities are based on level 1 input of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk, currency risk and/or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks Relating to the Company's Business

In addition to the other risks and uncertainties set out earlier in this MD&A, the Company is also exposed to the following risks and uncertainties:

The Company currently does not generate recurring revenue from its operations, and as a result, it faces a high risk of business failure.

The Company is an inactive issuer under CSE.

The Company has a loan receivable in the amount of $300,444 from its Ex-CEO, Weidong (Tony) Wang, as at May 31, 2021. The Company has not collected on this loan and is at risk of eventually not collecting. Should it fail to do within a reasonable timeframe, it will consider pursuing legal remedies.

As of May 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,972,235 since inception. The Company in active while seeking out business opportunities. As such, the Company therefore expect to incur

significant losses in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes that if it is unable to generate significant revenues from its activities, the Company's entire business may fail. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the Company will be successful in its plan of operation, and the Company can provide no assurance to investors that it will generate operating revenues or achieve profitable operations in the future.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,580 and current assets in excess of current liabilities of $262,342 as of May 31, 2021. The Company anticipates that it will require a minimum of 500,000 to spend on its general and administrative expenses while seeking out business opportunities for the twelve-month period ended August 31, 2021.

In order to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months, the Company may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to its shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict its operations and liquidity.

Contingencies

On August 16 and October 2, 2019, the Company was served with two Statements of Claim issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) that named the Company as one of the defendants. These two Statements of Claim sought damages in the amount of $500,000 and $1,500,000, respectively and an unspecified sum of punitive damages from allegations of breach of contract, negligence and misrepresentations. The Company denies the allegations made against the Company in the Statements of Claim.

The original claim by Ling (Alice) Jiang and a group of individuals (Superior Court of Justice File CV-19- 00635736-00CL) was issued on August 16, 2019, which did not successfully delivery to the office of EA Education Group Inc, but Wen Xu, as a defendant, got the statement of claims. The company's corporate counsel prepared and filed the news release on September 18, 2019. At that time, the management and Board didn't think the claim was material to the company. Then the company received the amendment statement of claim by Ling (Alice) Jiang on October 2, 2019 with the same File No. CV-19-00635736- 00CL. On the same day, the company also received a new claim by Dong Li. And a group of individuals (Superior Court of Justice File No. CV-19-00628456-00CL), and it is for similar matters. The company's litigation council entered order to consolidate two claims in January 2020, and was waiting for receive the consolidated claim from court. On Aug 25, 2020, the Company decided to seek new council to prepare a Claim of Defence.

The first Claim (File CV-19-00635736-00CL) is between the company and the plaintiffs ( Ling (Alice) Jiang, Ling(alice) Jiang, Beibei Liu, Yu Guo, Fanxiong Meng, Guihua Sun, Jingkai Xu, Li Zhou, Man Yuan, Ning Li, Yanfang Hao, Yi Hu and Hui Jiang) and defendants (Canada Blockchain E-Commerce Ltd., Canadian Blockchain Media Group Inc., 2465213 Ontario, Weidong (Tony) Wang, Wen Xu, Tong Gao, Weixia (Winnie) Ou).

The second Claim (File CV-19-00628456-00CL) is between the company and the plaintiffs (Dong Li, Jiliang Li, Weimin Gu, Qiong zou, Mei Huang and Ping Hung Ting) and defendants (Canada Blockchain E-Commerce Ltd., Canadian Blockchain Media Group Inc., 2465213 Ontario, Weidong (Tony) Wang, Wen Xu, Tong Gao, Weixia (Winnie) Ou).

In 2018, the Company subleased a part of office space to defendants, Canada Blockchain E-Commerce Ltd. (CBE) and Canada Blockchain Media Group (CBM). The Lease Agreements were terminated by the Company in or about March 2019, after the Company determined that it would no longer be able to renew its existing lease on the premises at 3190 Steeles Avenue East and after CBE and CBM had ceased making payments pursuant to the Lease Agreements.

The defendant, Wen Xu is a director and president of the Company. The defendant, Weidong Wang, is a former CEO and director of the Company. The defendant, CBM, is the company's contracting party, which provides marketing service to the Company in 2018. The defendant, Tong Gao is a director of CBE. The defendant, 2465213 Ontario Inc. ("246"), is a coproation incorporated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act. Tong Gao is the sole director and officer of 246. There is no relationship between the Company and Tong Gao, the defendant. Tony Gao who is a Xu's family friend and trustee of the family children trust.

Wen Xu has brought an application to remove the Mareva injunction on her property and bank account. While still responding to the complaint, the judge ruled that WEN XU had won, and the plaintiff must compensate her for her legal fees.

Pursuant to the order of Justice McEwen, assets held directly or indirectly by Weidong Wang are subject to the Mareva junction since August 28, 2019.

On February 21, 2020, The court granted a Mareva injunction against the Company. The judge removed the Mareva in March 2020.

There is no relationship between the Company and Alice Jiang, Dong Li, and a group of individual plaintiffs. the company has no business relation with the plaintiffs and has no any agreement signed with the plaintiffs. Therefore, material change report has not been filed.

No provision has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements since management believes that there is no merit to these claims.

Management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred a deficit of $6,021,374 for the cumulative period from (inception) to November 30, 2020. The Company anticipates generating losses for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern, as described in Note 1 of the Company's interim consolidated audited financial statements. The Company's financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue in existence. The Company's business operations may fail if its actual cash requirements exceed its estimates and the Company is not able to obtain further financing. If the Company cannot continue as a viable entity, its shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks Relating to the Company's Management

The Company is dependent on the services of certain key consultants and the loss of any of these key consultants may have a materially adverse effect on the Company*.*

While seeking out new business opportunities, the Company's ability to continue to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace will depend, in large part, on its ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and it may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. The Company's growth has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of its key management consultants. Loss of any of these people would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Currently, the Company does not have key-man life insurance.

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the Company's directors and officers being directors or officers of other companies.

Certain of the Company's directors and officers are, or may become, directors or officers of other companies. While the Company is currently only seeking out opportunities, there may be risks that the directors and officers will be engaged in similar potential business and by associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The Company's directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests and to disclose any interest that they may have in any project or opportunity. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company's board of directors, any director in a conflict must disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the Company's directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at the time.

Risks Relating to COVID-19

Since August 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID- 19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.

Risks Relating to the Company's Common Stock

If the Company's business is unsuccessful, its shareholders may lose their entire investment.

Although shareholders will not be bound by or be personally liable for its expenses, liabilities or obligations beyond their total original capital contributions, should it suffer a deficiency in funds with which to meet its obligations, the shareholders as a whole may lose their entire investment in the Company.

Trading of the Company's common shares on the CSE is limited and sporadic, making it difficult for the Company's shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

The trading price of the Company's common shares has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with little or no current business operations. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by the Company's common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the common shares, regardless of the Company's operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for the Company and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Investors' interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if it issues additional options to any of its officers, directors, employees or consultants.

Because the Company's success is highly dependent upon its directors, officers and consultants, it has granted, and may again in the future grant, options to some or all of its key officers, directors, employees and consultants to purchase its common shares as non-cash incentives. Options may be granted at exercise prices below that of its common shares prevailing in the public trading market at the time or may be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices at times when the public market is depressed. To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the Company's other shareholders may be diluted.

Investors' interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if the Company issues additional shares or raises funds through the sale of equity securities.

In the event that the Company is required to issue additional shares in order to raise financing, investors' interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. The dilution may result in a decline in the market price of the Company's shares.

Penny stock rules limit the ability of the Company's shareholders to sell their stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company's securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a brokerdealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The brokerdealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny

stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade its securities.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell the Company's stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy its common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell its stock and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.

The Company does not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of the Company*.*

The Company has never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that the Company requires additional funding currently not provided for in its financing plan, its funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because the Company does not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in the Company will need to come through an increase in the stock's price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in the Company.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Information provided in this MD&A, including financial information extracted from the Financial Statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of the Financial Statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future value for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to assessments of the recoverability and carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, assumptions used in determining the fair value of share-based payments, recognition and valuation of deferred income tax amounts as well as provision for restoration and environmental costs. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with making such estimates, actual results could differ from these estimates. Future events and risk factors inherent in the mining industry could result in changes in these estimates and assumptions.

OUTLOOK

The Company is in process of changing its principal business from education service to investment service. The Company is currently actively seeking for investment and business opportunities in Canada, United States and Southeast China to find better business strategies to fit into its future growing plan.

The National Instrument 51-102 requires the Company to discuss in its MD&A events and circumstances that occurred during the period to which the MD&A relates that are reasonably likely to cause actual results to differ materially from material forward-looking information for a period that is not yet complete that the reporting issuer previously disclose to the public. The management believes that the fact that some EA clubs had terminated their agreements and cooperation with the Company and the discontinuing of Duke are such events and circumstance, that will cause the actual results of the operating of the coming few periods greatly different from what had been previously forecasted and disclosed to the public.

Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had the following securities issued and outstanding:

(1) Common shares – 31,950,457 (2) Share purchase warrants – 12,000,000 (3) Stock options – Nil
