DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

In September 2022, the Company announced it had discontinued its cryptocurrency mining operation in Washington State and launched a new website - carbontokensmarket.com, which aims to be a single source of information on the expanding carbon tokens market (the "Website").

A "carbon token," is a non-fungible, tradable digital asset on a blockchain that represents one carbon credit or one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gas emission reduction. Over the past year, there have been a number of companies that have created carbon tokens with the aim to use blockchain technology to build secure and efficient marketplaces to scale the trading of carbon credits. The Company created the Website to provide a single source for price and market information on existing carbon tokens and aggregate news for the emerging and expanding universe of carbon tokens.

In addition, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, BlockMint (Canada) Technologies Inc. ("BlockMint-Canada") and its wholly owned subsidiary, BlockMint (USA) Technologies Inc. ("BlockMint-USA"), are in the business of developing distributed systems and networks that enable a more decentralized deployment of blockchain based applications such as cryptocurrency mining.

The Company developed and operates the Minter browser - a secure and private browser where any person can mine cryptocurrency as they browse the web. In addition to being a web browser, Minter has additional integrated features, such as a virtual private network (VPN) and an ad-blocker. The Minter browser was initially released in

2019, but was updated in 2021 and re-released in February 2021 and May 2021. It is available for download at the website getminter.com.

In October 2021, the Company acquired 50 new S19 Antminers. The machines were installed at a third party hosting facility in Washington State, and the Company commenced mining Bitcoin in December 2021. Those mining operations were terminated in Q3 of 2022 due to the depressed price of Bitcoin.

OUTLOOK AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Corporate

Financial Highlights

The Company had minimal revenue, so its ability to ensure continuing operations is dependent on either expanding its business, or raising additional debt or equity financing. In September 2022, the Company discontinued its cryptocurrency mining operation in Washington State, and announced that it had launched the new Website focused on tokenized carbon credits. In discontinuing its cryptocurrency mining operations, BlockMint sold its mining assets to the company that hosted the mining equipment in consideration of one dollar and release from the remaining lease and contractual obligations.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a loss totaled $843,819 which consisted primarily of (i) operating expenses of $264,702; (ii) foreign exchange loss of $35,838; and (iii) a loss from discontinued operations of $543,279

At December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1,705,392 (December 31, 2021 - working capital surplus of $1,925,263). The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,636,966 (December 31, 2021 - $2,032,371). Working capital and cash and cash equivalents decreased during the year ended December 31, 2022 due to net cash used in operating activities of $289,684 and cash used in financing activities of $86,003.

The Company has sufficient capital to meet its ongoing operating expenses and continue to meet its obligations on its current projects for the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2023. See "Liquidity and Financial Position" below.

TRENDS

In September 2022, the Company announced that it had launched its a new Website focused on tokenized carbon credits. A tokenized carbon credit, often referred to as a "carbon token," is a non-fungible, tradable digital asset on a blockchain that represents one carbon credit or one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gas emission reduction. In 2021, there was approximately $2 billion in carbon credits traded in the voluntary carbon market. McKinsey & Company has forecasted that the value of the voluntary carbon credit market could reach up to $50 billion by 2030. Over the past year, there have been a number of companies that have created carbon tokens with the aim to use blockchain technology to build secure and efficient marketplaces to scale the trading of instruments that represent carbon credits.

The COVID 19 pandemic has had an impact on global economic activity as well as uncertainty in world events.

Apart from these and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties", management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. See "Risks and Uncertainties" below.
