LIQUIDITY

The Company is a startup agricultural-based company and has a small regular source of income and may have incidental interest income it may earn on funds invested in short-term deposits. As a result, its ability to conduct operations is based on its current cash and its ability to raise funds, primarily from equity sources, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital, the continuing support of its creditors, and ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations and positive cash flows. The Company is in good standing as of the date of this MD&A.

In June 2021, the Company closed a private placement financing for gross proceeds of $3,252,375 through the issuance of 1,626,187 units at a price of $2.00 per Unit (a “Unit”). Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of two years, subject to accelerated expiry, at a price of $3.00 per share in the first year and $4.50 per share in the second year. Under the private placement, the Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $151,543 and issued an aggregate of 75,771 finder’s warrants with a fair value of $618,229, with the same terms as the warrants issued as part of the private placement.

In August 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Canpac Investments Corp. (“Canapac”) for the sale of the Langley Site, a five and a half acre agricultural property located in Langley, BC. Canpac is an investment company focused on health sciences, technology and infrastructure. Pursuant to the Agreement, Canpac purchased the property in consideration of $1,500,000 payable in the form of the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares at a deemed price of $1.00 per share. Furthermore, along with the acquisition, Canpac agreed to assume $912,517 in the Company’s debt and long-term liabilities. The Company has assembled debt assignment agreements, signed by the creditors, assigning the liabilities to Canpac. Ultra elected to distribute the shares in the form of a dividend to its stakeholders on a pro rata basis to shareholders of record on September 15, 2021.

As part of its financial planning, management intends to pursue further equity financing to meet its working capital requirements and is reasonably confident that it will be able to continue to fund the Company in this manner. The Company intends to work with a financial advisor to assist with raising funds to meet short term and long-term goals as well as to develop an ongoing long term plan to keep the company in operation until revenues are sufficient to support the operations. However, should the Company be unsuccessful in raising capital through equity financing, it may need to consider borrowing funds from one or more directors or shareholders. At this time, the Company has no plans to borrow money and there have been no promises or arrangements made to fund the Company in this manner.

As of the date of this discussion, the Company currently has three subsidiaries, Plenty-full Food Services Corporation, Be Good Plant Based Food Inc., and Black Sheep Vegan Cheese Company Corp.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Please see the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 for a summary of significant accounting policies and estimates.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Plant Growing, Warehousing and Processing Industry

The warehousing and food processing industry involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the development of such facilities may result in substantial rewards, marketing will also play a significant role in developing the Company and its level of success. Major expenses may be required to establish the facilities to be accepted in the marketplace. It is impossible to ensure that the current facilities and market strategy planned by the Company will result in profitable commercial sales. Whether the Company will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the industry the facilities is geared toward and the existing infrastructure, as well as competitors’ strategies and market factors. Some of these factors are cyclical and government regulated, including regulations relating to agriculture and food processing procedures and protocols.

The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. Agriculture and food processing operations generally involve a high degree of risk. The Company’s operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the public health sectors inherited in the agriculture and food processing industry. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, operations are subject to hazards that are unforeseeable or beyond the company’s control and their consequent liability.

Some of these risks include the following:

The Company is largely dependent on the success of constructing and marketing its warehousing and processing facilities and cannot be certain that its facilities will be successfully commercialized. The successful addition of food warehousing / processing facilities will provide additional There is no guarantee that it will ever have marketable facilities. There are risks in design, development and manufacture of agriculture and food warehousing / processing facilities which may have adverse effect on public’s health.

If a significant portion of these development efforts are not successfully completed, required regulatory approvals are not obtained, or any approved facilities are not commercially successful, the company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.

The Company’s facilities may never achieve market acceptance even if the company obtains regulatory approvals.

The Company’s activities are directed towards the warehousing and processing of food. There is no certainty that any expenditure to be made by the Company as described herein will result in market acceptance of the Company’s facilities offerings. There is aggressive competition within the agriculture and food warehousing / processing marketplace. The Company will compete with other interests, many of which have greater financial resources than it will have for marketing towards target customers. Significant capital investment is required to achieve commercialization from the current start-up and development stage of the Company.

Uncertainty Regarding Penetration of the Target Market

The commercial success of the business of Ultra, as compared with its competitors, depends on the acceptance by their potential clients or customers in the respective industries or sectors. Market acceptance will largely depend on the reputation, marketing strategy, and services and performance of Ultra. The success of Ultra will depend on the ability to commercialize its products and services and to expand their network clients or market share. Ultra will need to expand its marketing and sales operations and establish business relations with other professional services providers and clients in a timely manner.

In order to meet their business objectives, Ultra will have to ensure that its services are professional, reliable and cost-effective, and bring the expected return. There can be no assurance that the business and services of Ultra will be accepted and recommended.

Competition

The agriculture and food warehousing / processing industries are competitive. Others in the field may have significantly more financial, technical, distribution and marketing resources. Technological progress and product development may cause the Company’s services and facilities offerings to become obsolete or may reduce their market acceptance.

Licenses, Patents and Proprietary Rights

The Company’s success could depend on its ability to protect its intellectual property, including trade secrets, and continue its operations without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties and without having its own rights infringed.

Growth Management

In executing the business plan of Ultra for the future, there will be significant pressure on management, operations, and technical resources. Ultra anticipates that its operating and personnel costs will increase in the future. In order to manage their growth, Ultra will have to increase the number of its technical and operational employees and efficiently manage its employees, while at the same time efficiently maintaining a large number of relationships with third parties.

Reliance on Key Personnel and Advisors

Ultra will rely heavily on its officers. The loss of their services may have a material adverse effect on the business of Ultra. There can be no assurance that one or all of the employees of, and contractors engaged by, Ultra will continue in the employ of, or in a consulting capacity to, Ultra or that they will not set up competing businesses or accept positions with competitors. There is no guarantee that certain employees of, and contractors to, Ultra who have access to confidential information will not disclose the confidential information.

Reliance on Joint Ventures, License Assignors and Other Parties

The nature of the operations of Ultra requires them to enter into various agreements with partners, joint venture partners, other businesses partners, equipment suppliers in the business world, government agencies, licensors, licensees, and other parties for the successful operation of their businesses and the successful marketing of their services.

There is no guarantee that those with whom Ultra need to deal will not adopt other services providers or that they will not develop alternative business strategies, acting either alone or in conjunction with other parties, including the competitors of Ultra in preference to those of Ultra.

Government Regulation

Although the activities of Ultra are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail development, marketing, or commercialization.

In addition to various trade organizations that the Company will be subject to, the consumer agriculture and food warehousing / processing industry is subject to various federal, and provincial laws and regulations on, standards, claims, safety, efficacy and other matters from regulatory bodies such as Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), BC FoodSafe Program and the department of Health Protection in Fraser Health. Regulatory approvals by government agencies on the Company’s facilities may be withheld or not granted at all and if granted may be subject to recalls which would materially affect the Company.

Although the Company’s activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail development, production, manufacture, product claims, marketing or commercialization. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of the consumer health industry or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

Uninsured Risks

Ultra may carry insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as they consider adequate. Risks not insured against include key person insurance, as Ultra will heavily rely on its officers.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors of Ultra also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in other business ventures. Consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors to be in a

position of conflict. Any decision made by such directors involving Ultra will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with Ultra and such other companies. In addition, such directors will declare, and refrain from voting on, any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest.

Negative Operating Cash Flows

As Ultra is at the early stage startup stage, it may continue to have negative operating cash flows. Without the injection of further capital and the development of revenue streams from their businesses, Ultra may continue to have negative operating cash flows until it can be sufficiently developed to commercialize.

Operating History and Expected Losses

Ultra expects to make investments in order to develop their services, increase marketing efforts, and improve their operations. As a result, startup operating losses are expected and such losses may be greater than anticipated, which could have a significant effect on the long-term viability of Ultra.

Risks Related as a Going Concern

The ability of Ultra to each continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon their ability to achieve profitable operations, obtain additional capital, and receive continued support from their shareholders. Management of Ultra will have to raise capital through private placements or debt financing and proposes to continue to do so through future private placements and offerings. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

Potential Liability

Ultra is subject to the risk of potential liability claims with respect to their businesses. Should such claims be successful, plaintiffs could be awarded significant amounts of damages, which could exceed the limits of any liability insurance policies that may be held by Ultra. There is no guarantee that Ultra will be able to obtain, maintain in effect or increase any such insurance coverage on acceptable terms or at reasonable costs, or that such insurance will provide Ultra with adequate protection against potential liability.

Coronavirus Global Pandemic Risk

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including the Company’s. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s product and harm the Company’s business and results of operations. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.

With employees, partners and customers across multiple geographies, the Company’s management continues to closely monitor developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s focus is on the safety and well-being of its employees, customers, and partners, and is taking precautions to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in alignment with local government policies and national and international agency recommendations. In consideration of this, interim

arrangements have been made to ensure the maintenance of the Company’s core operations despite the temporary reassignment of certain sales and contracting personnel.

FINANCIAL AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the period ended September 30, 2022, there has been no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting since last reporting period.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information used internally and disclosed externally is complete, reliable and timely. They are also responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide sufficient knowledge to support the representations made in this MD&A and the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have filed the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate with the Interim Filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“ NI 52-109 ”), the venture issuer basic certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“ DC&P ”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ ICFR ”), as defined in NI 52-109. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency, and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
