Description of Business
Century Financial Capital Group Inc. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Ontario on October 20, 1994.

The statements of financial position as of February 28, 2018, indicate total current assets of $2,240,014 (August 31, 2017 - $17,693).

Working capital, which is current assets less current liabilities, is $2,199,889 (August 31, 2017 – deficiency of $95,529).
During the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company reported a net income of $63,931 and $57,425 ($0.00 and $0.00 basic and diluted income per share) compared to a net loss of $12,502 and $13,540 ($0.01 and $0.01 basic and diluted loss per share) for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017.
The Company has no operating revenue and its level of expenditures is dependent on the sale of equity capital to finance its operations. Therefore, it is difficult to identify any meaningful trends or develop an analysis from cash flows.
Proposed Transaction
On January 12, 2018, the Company announced that they have entered into an arm’s-length non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) pursuant to which Century and FV Pharma propose to complete a business combination by way of three-cornered amalgamation (the “Proposed Transaction”). Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting entity (the “Resulting Issuer”) will hold all of the assets and continue the business of FV Pharma.
The Letter of Intent provides that Century and FV Pharma will negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction in February 2018 (the “Definitive Agreement”), to be completed by way of a share exchange, amalgamation, arrangement, share purchase, or other form of transaction which would result in FV Pharma becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century or otherwise combine its corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century. Once the Proposed Transaction structure is determined, the Letter of Intent will be superseded by the Definitive Agreement.
There are a number of conditions precedent to the completion of the Proposed Transaction for both Century and FV Pharma, including, but not limited to: completion of the Definitive Agreement; completion of the FV Pharma Financing (as defined herein), completion of satisfactory due diligence; shareholder approval of the articles of amendment of Century and the Proposed Transaction (if required); and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
Prior to consummation of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that, (A) Century will, subject to the approval of Century Shareholders, file articles of amendment to amend its authorized shares as follows: (i) amend and designate the current Century common shares as Class B subordinate voting shares (“Century Class B Shares”), with terms and conditions similar to the existing Class “B” Common Shares of FV Pharma (“FV Pharma Class B Shares”); and (ii) create a new class of Class A multiple voting shares (“Century Class A Shares”) with terms and conditions similar to the existing Class “A” Common Shares of FV Pharma (“FV Pharma Class A Shares”); (B) FV Pharma has completed a brokered private placement of subscription receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of C$33,404,392 (the “FV Pharma Financing”), for which First Republic Capital Corporation will act as exclusive lead agent; and (C) the Resulting Issuer will change its name to “CannaConneXion Inc.”, or such other name as the parties may agree.
Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, Century will purchase all of the FV Pharma Class B Shares in exchange for Century Class B Shares issued from treasury, and all of the FV Pharma Class A Shares in exchange for Century Class A Shares issued from treasury. Holders of FV Pharma Class B Shares will receive one Century Class B Share for each one FV Pharma Class B Share held, resulting in the issuance of approximately 763,562,145 Century Class B Shares at a deemed issued price of $0.09 per Century Class B Share, and holders of FV Pharma Class A Shares will receive one Century Class A Share for each one FV Pharma Class A Share held, resulting in the issuance of 15,000 Century Class A Shares, all for aggregate ascribed value of approximately $70 million.

Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting issuer is expected to carry on the business of FV Pharma. FV Pharma is a licensed producer of marijuana under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) having received its cultivation license on October 13, 2017.
FV Pharma and Century have applied to the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) to qualify the listing of the Resulting Issuer Class B Shares on the CSE. There is no assurance the CSE will provide conditional or final approval of the application to list the Resulting Issuer Class B Shares on the CSE. The CSE has not reviewed or provided comments on the Proposed Transaction. The CSE's final approvals remain subject to fulfilling all of the requirements of the CSE.
Discussion of Operations
Three months ended February 28, 2018 compared with three months ended February 28, 2017
Century’s net income totaled $63,931 for the three months ended February 28, 2018, with basic and diluted income per share of $0.00. This compares with a net loss of $12,502 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the three months ended February 28, 2017. The increase of $76,433 in net income was principally due to an increase in gain on debt settlement by $113,938, an increase in accounting and corporate services expenses by $11,187 and an increase in share-based payments by $25,725 during the three months ended February 28, 2018. Due to the Company currently not having any operations, expenses are minimal and consistent with the prior period.
Liquidity and Financial Position
As at February 28, 2018, the Company’s cash balance was $2,198,991 (August 31, 2017 - $17,693) and the Company had a working capital of $2,199,889 (August 31, 2017 - deficiency of $95,529).
The Company is dependent on the equity and debt markets as its sole source of operating working capital. The Company will continue to rely on equity and debt financing during such period and there can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
Related Party Transactions
Related parties include the Board of Directors, senior management, close family members and enterprises that are controlled by these individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions.
Related party transactions conducted in the normal course of operations are measured at fair value.

Share-based payments to directors and management for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 totaled $24,010 (three and six months ended February 28, 2017 - $nil).
As at February 28, 2018, the amounts due to related parties of $nil (August 31, 2017 - $43,363) include $nil (August 31, 2017 - $16,010) payable to a director of the Company and $nil (August 31, 2017 - $27,353) payable to a company controlled by the same director of the Company and the director’s spouse.
During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Company entered into a $35,000 unsecured and non-interest bearing loan agreement with an individual who is a director and officer. The loan is due on demand and was converted into common shares, at the sole option of the holder, at a rate of $0.0118 per share during the six months ended February 28, 2018 (see “Share Capital” below).
Share Capital
(i) On December 28, 2017, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 4,500,000 common shares, debt settlements for an aggregate of 11,775,322 common shares (the “Debt Settlements”), and the issuance of 5,932,204 common shares under a convertible note dated February 1, 2017 (the "Convertible Note").
Under the Private Placement, 4,500,000 common shares were issued at a price of $0.01 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $45,000 previously included as shares to be issued.
Concurrent with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company completed the Debt Settlements with certain creditors of the Company to settle the creditors’ debts for common shares. The Debt Settlements included settlements of debts which were previously approved by the Company’s shareholders in April 2014. Pursuant to the Debt Settlements the Company issued an aggregate of 11,775,322 Shares to settle an aggregate of $231,681 of debts.
On February 1, 2017, the Company entered into the Convertible Loan in the principal amount of $35,000 with Yaron Conforti, the CEO and a director of the Company (see note 3). In accordance with the terms of the Convertible Loan, pursuant to a notice of conversion, concurrent with the closing of the Private Placement and the Debt Settlements, Yaron Conforti exercised his right to convert the principal amount of the Convertible Note into 5,932,204 common shares (the “Note Conversion”).
Two insiders, Yaron Conforti and Harry Bregman, participated in the Debt Settlements pursuant to which they received an aggregate of 2,237,202 common shares. Yaron Conforti was also issued 750,000 common shares under the Private Placement and 5,932,204 common shares under the Convertible Loan.
All of the shares issued in connection with the Private Placement and the Debt Settlements are subject to a statutory hold period under applicable securities laws for a minimum period of four months and one day after the date of issuance.
(ii) On January 5, 2018, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 83,333,332 common shares of the Company at $0.03 per share for gross proceeds of $2,500,000 (the “Offering”).

All of the shares issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period under applicable securities laws for a minimum period of four months and one day after the date of issuance.
In connection with closing of the Offering, the Company paid eligible finders cash commissions in the total of $225,000, being 9% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of shares to purchasers introduced by the finders. The Company also issued non-transferable warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) to the finders to acquire up to a total of 3,749,999 common shares, being 9% of the number of shares sold to purchasers introduced by the finders. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.06 per share, expiring 24-months from the Finder’s Warrant issuance date. The Finder's Warrants issued were assigned a value of $118,875 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.06, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100%, risk-free rate of return of 1.7% and an expected maturity of 2 years.
Share-Based Payments
On December 23, 2017, the Company granted 750,000 stock options to certain officers, directors and consultants of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.05 per common share. The options vested immediately and expire two years from grant. The grant date fair value of $25,725 was assigned to the stock options as estimated by using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.06, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100%, risk-free rate of return of 1.66% and an expected maturity of 2 years.
For the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, $25,725 was expensed to share-based payments (three and six months ended February 28, 2017 - $nil).
Subsequent Events
On February 20, 2018, the Company declared a stock dividend of 1 common share for each 1 existing common share of the Company outstanding, issued on March 16, 2018 to the shareholders of record as of March 5, 2018. Pursuant to the stock dividend, the Company issued an aggregate of 54,230,708 common shares based on the number of common shares outstanding as of the date hereof. All applicable references to the number of shares has been restated to reflect the effect of the share dividend, unless otherwise noted.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable.
The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management’s services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the

Company. The Company has not purchased "key-man" insurance, nor has it entered into non-competition and non-disclosure agreements with management and has no current plans to do so.
Disclosure of Internal Controls
Management has established processes to provide them sufficient knowledge to support representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence that (i) the unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the unaudited condensed interim financial statements; and (ii) the unaudited condensed interim financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.
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. In particular, the certifying officers filing the certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:
i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP (IFRS).
The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate. 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.
