ABOUT VICTORY CAPITAL CORP. AND CURRENT NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Victory was incorporated on November 6, 2009 pursuant to the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) and is classified as a Capital Pool Corporation ("CPC") as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. ("the Exchange") Corporate Finance Manual. The principal business of Victory will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction is defined as a transaction where a CPC acquires significant assets, other cash, by way of purchase, merger amalgamation, or another such arrangement with another company or by other means. Victory is currently in the process of identifying potential acquisitions but has not yet entered into a Qualifying Transaction.

The Company proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a non- arm's Length Qualifying Transaction will also be subject to “Majority of the Minority Approval” as defined pursuant to the CPC Policy. The Company has not conducted commercial operations other than to begin the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction.

2

Until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under "Restrictions on Use of Proceeds" and "Private Placements for Cash", the funds raised pursuant to the Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

Although the Company has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Company has not yet entered into an Agreement in Principle as of the date of this MD&A.

The Company may use cash, secured or unsecured debt, issuance of treasury shares, public financing of debt or equity, or a combination of these, for the purpose of financing its proposed Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction financed by the issue of treasury shares could result in a change in the control of the Company and may cause the shareholders' interest in the Company to be further diluted.

The board of directors of the Company must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and must exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The acquisition of, or participation in, companies, assets or businesses may arise in numerous ways. The Company has not established pre-determined criteria for such participations or acquisitions other than sound business fundamentals. Such fundamentals include, but are not limited to: (i) the ratio of risk to reward; (ii) the potential for growth; (iii) the length of the payout period; and (iv) the rate of return.

The Company has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed its initial public offering by issuing 3,888,750 common shares at a price of $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $777,750. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company paid a commission of $77,775 and issued agents warrants to acquire 388,875 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of listing of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (see note 6 of the Financial Statements).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, the Company realized a net loss of $139,331 (2020-$22,250). During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company focused its efforts to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction.

In 2019, the Company entered into a letter of intent with 1788938 Ontario Ltd., operating as EquineX North America (“EquineX NA”), to complete a proposed arm’s length transaction pursuant to which Victory would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of EquineX NA by way of an arrangement, amalgamation, share exchange or similar transaction and continue the business of EquineX NA. The proposed transaction was expected to constitute Victory’s qualifying transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The letter of intent between Victory and EquineX NA to complete a qualifying transaction has been terminated subsequently and the transaction contemplated therein will not proceed.

On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Acapulco Gold Corporation (“Acapulco”). Pursuant to the LOI, the Company and Acapulco will negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement on or before December 30, 2020 (the “Definitive Agreement”), pursuant to which it is anticipated that the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Acapulco at an exchange ratio to be determined in accordance with the Definitive Agreement, resulting in the reverse takeover of the Company by Acapulco (the “Acapulco Transaction”).

Subsequent to the execution of the LOI and the approval of the TSXV, the Company will provide Acapulco with a bridge loan in the amount of up to $100,000 (the “Loan”) for working capital purposes, of which $25,000 may be immediately advanced to Acapulco pursuant section 8.5(b) of Policy 2.4 of the policies of the TSXV. The loan bears an interest of 6% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had advanced $25,000 to Acapulco, with additional interest receivables of $402.

In conjunction with the Acapulco Transaction, Acapulco intends to complete a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”) for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $2,000,000 up to a maximum of $3,000,000, through the offering of securities of Acapulco to be sold at an issue price to be determined in the context of the market. Acapulco intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for expenditures for the further advancement of its mining properties and general corporate purposes.

The completion of the Acapulco Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions precedent, including but not limited to satisfactory due diligence review, negotiation and execution of the Definitive Agreement and accompanying transaction documents, approval by the boards of directors of each of Victory and Acapulco, approval of the shareholders of Acapulco (if applicable), obtaining necessary third party approvals, TSXV acceptance and closing of the Private Placement for gross proceeds of not less than $2,000,000. There can be no assurance that the Acapulco Transaction or the Private Placement will be completed as proposed, or at all.

COVID-19

Subsequent to 2019 year-end and currently, there is a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has a significant impact on businesses through restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolations/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.

While the extent of the impact is unknown, we anticipate that this outbreak may negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

Filing Fees

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred filing fees of $5,522 and (2020-$9,867) related to the listing and filing fees.

Professional Fees

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred professional fees of $134,049 (2020$12,257) related to consulting, legal and accounting fees. The substantial increase of $121,792 for the three-months period ended March 31, 2021 was due to the consulting fees and legal fees incurred to planning, structuring, and executing the reverse takeover transaction with Acapulco Gold Corporation, also for professionally drafting, reviewing or preparing all necessary documentations during the process.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $399,997 cash available within its operating bank account to pay current liabilities of $157,032. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities for consulting, accounting and legal fees incurred. The Company anticipates generating negative cash flows from operating activities on a quarterly basis until a Qualifying Acquisition has been completed and the Company generates revenue.

As at March 31, 2021, the net assets of the Company were $268,367 (December 31, 2020-$5407,698).

The Company may not have sufficient funds to secure such businesses or assets once identified and evaluated and additional funds may be required. The CPC Policy provides that until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction and except as otherwise provided in the CPC Policy, a Maximum of the lesser of (i) 30% of the gross proceeds realized by the Company in respect of the sale of its securities, and (ii) $210,000, may be used for purposes other than evaluating businesses or assets.

If the Company requires additional funding for ongoing expenses or costs in connection with a potential Qualifying Acquisition, the Company may seek funding by way of unsecured loans from its Sponsor, which loans would, unless approved otherwise by the TSX, bear interest at no more than prime rate plus 1%. Otherwise, and subject to any relief granted by the TSX, the Company may seek to raise additional funds through a rights offering of shares available to its shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities legislation, and subject to placing the required funds raised in the escrow account in accordance with applicable TSX rules. Other than the foregoing, the Company will not be able to obtain any form of debt or equity financing other than in accordance with applicable securities laws and only with the consent of the TSX. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Qualifying Acquisition will be successful.

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets. Further, the Company has no contractual or purchase type of obligations other than those reported in the Company’s statement of financial position as of March 31, 2021.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the Company to make judgments in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. These judgments, estimates and assumptions affect the Company’s reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and items in net income or loss, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Such estimates are based on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of items in net earnings or loss that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

A summary of the significant judgments and estimates made by management and a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial information is provided within the Company’s December 31, 2020 audited Financial Statements.
