This MD&A does not provide a general update to the Annual MD&A, or reflect any non-material events since the date of the Annual MD&A.

This MD&A has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of section 2.2.1 of Form 51-102F1, in accordance with National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Annual MD&A, the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023 ("the Interim Statements"), together with the notes thereto. Results are reported in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. Information contained herein is presented as at May 30, 2023 unless otherwise indicated.

The Interim Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

For the purposes of preparing this MD&A, management, in conjunction with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, considers the materiality of information.

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"), continued in the business of developing distributed systems and networks that enable a more decentralized deployment of blockchain based applications such as cryptocurrency mining.

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. It is anticipated that the website www.carbontokensmarket.com, as the only site aggregating pricing data and news on carbon tokens, will prove useful and popular with participants in the growing carbon tokens market. At present, there is no single source for pricing information on carbon tokens in circulation. As user traction builds, the Company intends to earn revenues through a conventional ad- based business model.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had income totaled $27,597 which consisted primarily of

  1. income from discontinued operations of $67,986; (ii) operating expenses of $42,631; and (iii) foreign exchange income of $2,242.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1,732,989 (December 31, 2022 - working capital surplus of $1,705,392). The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,602,310 (December 31, 2022 - $1,636,966). Working capital and cash and cash equivalents decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to net cash used in operating activities of $34,656.

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 March 31, 2024. See "Liquidity and Financial Position" below.

Description of Business

In September 2022, the Company launched its new Website focused on tokenized carbon credits: carbontokensmarket.com. 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. As user traction builds, the Company intends to earn revenues through a conventional ad-based business model.

The Company also develops distributed systems and networks that enable a more decentralized deployment of blockchain based applications such as cryptocurrency mining. The Company launched its first product, the distributed crypto-miner Minter browser, in 2019. Development and release of further software products was suspended in 2020 due to the price and volatility of cryptocurrencies. In February 2021, the Company released an upgraded version of the Minter browser and introduced a new feature which allows users to earn carbon credits to offset their carbon footprint. In May 2021, the Company re-released the Minter browser with another new feature which enabled users to also be able to earn fractional ownership in an NFT.

An NFT is a unit of data on a blockchain where each NFT can represent a unique digital item and thus they are not interchangeable. NFTs can represent digital files such as art, audio, video and other forms of creative work. BlockMint has created and acquired NFTs for its portfolio.

TRENDS

In September 2022, the Company announced that it had launched its 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.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEETARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

The increase in the income of $117,841 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was principally because:

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2023, consulting fees and business development and promotion expenses decreased to $14,330 from $30,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to lower fees for website development.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded director, management and salaries of $14,622 compared to $38,637 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
  • All other expenses are related to general working capital purposes.
