Overview
The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on September 13, 2004 under the name “Mexivada Mining Corp.”, and commenced operations on November 18, 2004. The Company has historically focused on the acquisition of precious and rare high tech metal exploration properties in Mexico, the state of Nevada in the United States, and in the province of Ontario in Canada.
Until recently, the Company had been subject to the following cease trade orders (“CTO”s) with respect to the Company’s failure to file its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, and corresponding MD&A:
1. | CTO issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission on November 19, 2012; |
2. | CTO issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) on December 3, 2012; and |
3. | CTO issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) on March 5, 2013. |
During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company made application to have the CTOs revoked; and in February 2020, the Company was successful in obtaining full revocation orders to all three CTOs.
The Company’s shares previously traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MNV”. Upon the first CTO being issued, the Company’s shares were halted from trading and, on May 9, 2017, the Company’s shares were delisted from trading on the TSX-V for failing to pay outstanding sustaining fees. The Company’s shares are not presently listed for trading on any stock exchange.
The Company has no mineral property interests and no active operations; and, as such, it does not generate any operating income or cash flow. The Company will need to raise capital to settle its outstanding liabilities, for general and administrative expenses, and to seek new business opportunities. However, until recently, with the CTOs in place, there was no opportunity to raise any capital. Even with the CTOs having been rescinded, there can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required by the Company at any particular time or for any period and that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Corporate Restructuring
On May 21, 2020, at the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders, three new directors were appointed, to expand the Company’s board to four members. On June 15, 2020, the Company completed a 100-old for 1-new share consolidation and a name change to Carbon Streaming Corporation. All common shares, warrants, options, loss per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding have been retroactively restated to reflect this share consolidation.
During the current period Richard Redfern resigned from the Company’s board of directors and as CEO.
The Company intends to become an investment company, focused on the regulated and voluntary carbon offset and sequestration sectors. However, to date, the Company remains in the process of investigating opportunities in these sectors and has not entered into any transactions. The Company has commenced a special warrant financing, with the objective of raising up to $6,000,000, for use in making at least two investments or acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that it will be successful in completing the financing or finding any investments.
Amalgamation
During June 2020, the Company issued 14,280,000 units (post-consolidation), in conjunction with a three-cornered amalgamation, at the deemed price of $0.05 per unit ($714,000). Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable at $0.125 until April 22, 2025. The Company incurred issuance costs totalling $8,973 in conjunction with this transaction.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2020
During the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the “current period”), the Company incurred a loss and comprehensive loss of $26,120 compared to a loss of $9,645 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (the “comparative period”).
During the current period, the Company incurred professional fees of $16,120 as compared to $7,500 incurred during the comparative period. This increase reflects costs incurred by the Company toward preparing and filing outstanding financial statements, and legal fees relating to post-amalgamation and corporate matters. The Company also recognized a foreign exchange loss of $2,145 during the comparative period on USD-denominated liabilities compared to $Nil during the current period. In addition, during the current period, the Company incurred transfer agent and filings fees of $7,603 (2019 - $Nil) relating to past and current costs associated with share transactions.

Other Matters
The Company has no business or operations, and no cash flow. At September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $155,201 inclusive of cash on hand of $343,676. This compares to working capital of $181,321 as at June 30, 2020, inclusive of cash on hand of $310,202.
As at September 30, 2020, the Company had current and total assets of $346,610 (June 30, 2020 - $313,136) and total liabilities of $191,409 (June 30, 2020 - $131,815). The Company does not have any long-term debt.
The Company may need to raise additional capital in order to seek new business opportunities. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing on terms acceptable to it, or at all. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company has initiated a non-brokered private placement for up to 8,000,000 special warrants in the capital of the Company at $0.75 per special warrant, of which $50,000 has been received as at September 30, 2020. Each special warrant will entitle the holder to receive, for no additional consideration, one common share of the Company upon the Company obtaining conditional listing on a stock exchange in Canada.
There are no known trends, risks or demands affecting the Company except that (i) for the Company to carry on any new active business, it may be required to raise new financing, and (ii) the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a downturn in financial markets, including Canadian venture exchanges, which has led to increased challenges to start-up companies from raising capital.
The major operating milestones affecting or pertaining to the Company are: (i) to seek new business opportunities; and (ii) to seek to resume trading on the TSX-V or another stock exchange in Canada. There is no assurance any of the above will occur.
There are no commitments, expected or unexpected events, or uncertainties that materially affected the Company’s operations, liquidity or capital resources or are reasonably likely to have a material effect going forward; save and except for the uncertainty pertaining to the Company being able to raise any financing or finding any new business opportunity on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
There are no significant changes from disclosure previously made about how the Company was going to use proceeds from any financing.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as at the date of this MD&A.
The Company has no undisclosed proposed transactions as at the date of this MD&A.
The Company has not adopted any new accounting policies, nor does it expect to adopt any new accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2020, including changes to be made voluntarily or those due to a change in an accounting standard or a new accounting standard that the Company does not have to adopt until a future date; save and except the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases as of July 1, 2019 (which change did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has no leases).
For a discussion of financial instruments, and the risks associated therewith, see Note 7 to the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s financial assets consist of cash, whereas the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of their maturity.
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had 14,975,636 common shares issued and outstanding; and 14,280,000 warrants exercisable at $0.125 per share until April 22, 2025. There were no other securities outstanding in the capital of the Company as of September 30, 2020 or the date of this MD&A.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments may adversely affect workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.
