2. Overall Performance
The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 19, 2019, under the name Valencia Capital Inc.
The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) on August 13, 2020 and is a Capital Pool Company pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Company is in the development stage and its principal business will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction, as defined by the policies of the Exchange. Such a transaction will be subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
On December 7, 2020, the Company entered into a letter of intent and, on July 7, 2021, an amalgamation agreement (the “TB Amalgamation Agreement), with Terra Balacanica Resources Corp. (formerly 1250598 B.C. Ltd.) (“Terra Balacanica”), a privately held mineral exploration company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with a principal property in Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as the Viogor-Zanik Project. Subject to certain conditions and Exchange approval, the transaction would have resulted in the reverse takeover of the Company by Terra Balacanica and constituted Valencia’s qualifying transaction. In August 2021, the Company terminated the TB Amalgamation Agreement.
Valencia continues to evaluate alternative acquisition opportunities with a view to completing its qualifying transaction.

Financing activities
For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company received $767,269 net cash (2020 - $2,500) from the issuance of shares during the period.
Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and equity comprised of issued share capital.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments, when required, considering certain economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its board of directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.
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 no more than the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds from the issuance of common shares may be used to cover prescribed costs of issuing the common shares or administrative and general expenses of the Company.

7. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not utilize off-balance sheet arrangements.
8. Financial Instruments & Risk Management
Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, advance receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
VALENCIA CAPITAL INC. Management Discussion & Analysis For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and advance receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Advance receivable is due from a related party which was repaid to the Company subsequent to year end. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Foreign Exchange Risk and Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate or interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining adequate cash in excess of anticipated needs.
9. Transactions with Related Parties
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had an advance receivable of $31,500 (2020 - $nil) due from a company controlled by the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Company has since received the full amount of the advance receivable.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred professional fees of $6,000 (2020 - $nil) to a company controlled by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
