CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES & CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCLUDING INITIAL ADOPTION

As at December 31, 2021, the Company was in the application process to operate as a “Capital Pool Company” with cash and limited other assets, until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction. Critical accounting estimates are explained in Note 3 of the financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2021 are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, deferred financing costs, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

On October 27, 2021, the Company announced it had completed its Initial Public Offering and that it was now a Capital Pool Corporation as that term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The Company trades under the symbol DPCC.P. The Company is actively working to identify assets or businesses in order to complete a Qualifying Transaction. During this time, the Company will have no source of recurring income.

A comprehensive discussion of risk factors can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of the Initial Public Offering Prospectus, dated August 27, 2021. The document can be accessed on www.sedar.com.

Although management of the Company will be working to identify a Qualifying Transaction once the Company is listed, there is no assurance that a Qualifying Transaction will be entered into or be completed within the specified time, or at all. Nor can there be an assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing in the future on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

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 management team. The loss of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company. In such event, the Company will seek satisfactory replacements but there can be no guarantee that appropriate personnel may be found.

Completion of the 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 minority approval.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Harold Wolkin Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Toronto, Ontario April 27, 2022
