Viridis Holdings Corp.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition of Viridis Holdings Corp. For the three months period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Introduction

This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared as of May 26, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the audited financial statements of Viridis Holdings Corp. (“Viridis” or “the Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. All dollar figures stated herein are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified.

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 18, 1998 and its registered office is located at #700 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

On August 10, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the change of the Company’s name to Viridis Holdings Corp.

Core Business, Strategy, and Corporate Update

Currently, the Company has no operations and no subsidiaries

In May of 2016, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") issued a cease trade order against the Company due to the Company's failure to file a comparative financial statement for its financial year ended December 31, 2015 and related MD&A. The Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") automatically reciprocated a cease trade order against the Company.

In May of 2018, the BCSC granted an order partially revoking the cease trade orders issued against the Company by the BCSC and the ASC to permit the transfer of 10,488,838 common shares of the Company held by its controlling shareholder and a proposed private placement of units. The share transfer has been completed and no new control person was created as a result of the transfer.

The partial revocation order will permit the Company to complete a private placement of 10,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000 with accredited investors. Each unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share at a price of $0.10 for 18 months from the closing date. The private placement has not yet closed.

In addition, the former controlling shareholder assigned to an immediate family member of a former director of the Company approximately $3.2 million of debt owing from the Company to the former controlling shareholder.

An immediate family member of a former director of the Company has made loan advances to the Company for working capital and to fund preparation of the outstanding audited and interim financial statements and an application to the BCSC and the ASC for full revocation of the cease trade orders.

Management of the Company is currently in the process of seeking and reviewing opportunities to acquire significant assets in an alternative business that will meet the qualifications for re-listing its common share on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VRD.
