Management Discussion and Analysis

For the nine months ended May 31, 2022

1. Executive Summary

Telescope Innovations Corp. ("Telescope") or ("the Company") is a chemical technology company developing scalable manufacturing processes and tools for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The Company builds and deploys new enabling technologies including flexible robotic platforms and artificial intelligence software that improves experimental throughput, efficiency, and data quality. A key area of application for these tools is the development of scalable manufacturing processes for mental health medicines in the under-utilized tryptamine class of compounds, including psychedelic therapeutics. Telescope also applies these toolsets to resolve inefficiencies in industrial process chemistry and manufacturing.

2. Summary of Telescope Innovations Corp. Business

The Company was incorporated on July 30, 2019 with the intention of focusing on the rapidly expanding and unmet demand for pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin and related compounds. To address this need, the Company is developing proprietary processes compatible with the standards of cGMP. The sale or licensing of Company-developed intellectual property forms a core component of the Company's business model.

On May 31, 2021, ClearMynd Technology Solutions Corp. ("ClearMynd") closed a Share Exchange Agreement with Telescope, whereby Telescope acquired all the issued and outstanding securities in the capital of ClearMynd in exchange for common shares of Telescope. The acquisition of ClearMynd by Telescope is accounted for as a reverse takeover, whereby, ClearMynd is deemed to be the acquirer and Telescope is deemed to be the acquiree. The acquisition constitutes an asset acquisition as Telescope did not meet the definition of a business as defined in IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As a result, the net assets of Telescope are deemed to be acquired at fair value by ClearMynd and share capital of Telescope is eliminated as a result of the acquisition.

In September, 2021, Telescope completed its direct listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), and its common shares commenced trading on the CSE on September 27, 2021 under the ticker symbol "TELI".

Research and development efforts thus far have focused on three strategic areas: i) The development of automated laboratory systems and analytical tools to accelerate chemistry research ("Telescope Automation"); ii) the application of these tools to discover scalable synthetic pathways to psilocybin and related mental health medicines ("Telescope Health"); and iii) the application of Telescope Automation tools to resolve process manufacturing inefficiencies in the chemical industry ("Telescope Industries").

Telescope Automation launched its first product, the Direct Inject Liquid Chromatography ("DILC") platform, in June 2022. The DILC is an innovative instrument for real-time, immediate analysis of chemical reactions. The Company expects that the commercial deployment and insight provided by DILC technology will highlight, at an industrial scale, the unique combination of skills Telescope provides to support chemical, biopharmaceutical, and manufacturing process development.

Under the Telescope Health banner, the Company has filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") patent application to protect its novel, scalable synthesis methods to produce psilocybin and tryptamine-based analogs and precursors. The PCT application, published in July 2022, claims priority to provisional applications filed in December 2020 and October 2021. The synthetic approach described is well-positioned for cGMP optimization due to the use of simple, abundant starting materials and a limited number of synthetic steps. The chemical flexibility of the processes enables the exploration of many other valuable tryptamine-based compounds, including: dimethyltryptamine, harmaline, miprocin, ibogaine, melatonin, lysergic acid diethylamide, serotonin and bufotenine, among others. The patent also covers a set of proprietary Novel Chemical Entities ("NCEs") in the tryptamine family that are being evaluated by a third-party drug screening and neurochemical company for therapeutic potential. Positive results from these studies could warrant preclinical

2. Summary of Telescope Innovations Corp. Business (continued)

development of Telescope's compounds as next-generation psychedelic therapeutics, targeting improvements in safety, potency, specificity, or tunability relative to known candidates.

Since March 2022, The Telescope Industries division has applied the Company's tools to address previously intractable challenges in chemical manufacturing, engineering, and mining. The Company has been engaged by various industrial clients seeking crucial chemical analytical studies to enable process manufacturing, or to evaluate novel processes and technologies for potential deployment. Clients include Hatch Ltd. and Standard Lithium Ltd. The Company expects these engagements to illuminate industrial pain points that can be targeted by its unique technology, creating valuable products and services for the chemical manufacturing sector.

Over the next year, Telescope intends to continue deploying its Automation technology through product sales, licensing of intellectual property, and targeted research contracts addressing specific chemistry research, development, or manufacturing bottlenecks for client companies. While the Company has historically conducted its own R&D activities, it may, in the future, also rely on subcontracted R&D service providers. The Company anticipates that current R&D activities will result in filing additional provisional patents related to novel processes and molecules in the next twelve months.

3. Q3-2022 Highlights

On October 28, 2021, the Company granted 1,600,000 stock options to management and consultants of the Company at a price of $0.50 for a period of 5 years with the stock options vested in full on March 1, 2022.

On November 23, 2021, the Company granted 1,725,000 stock options to consultants and directors of the Company at a price of $0.90 for a period of 5 years with the stock options vested in full on March 24, 2022.

On November 29, 2021 the Company entered into an agreement with the University of British Columbia ("UBC") in which UBC has agreed to assign all interest in and to a provisional patent application related to the development of scalable synthetic psilcybin and other tryptamine compounds. The Company was also granted the option by UBC to acquire additional technological developments related to the patent application in the future. In consideration for the assignment of the interest, and the grant of the option, on January 10, 2022 the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $990,000 to UBC. All shares issued to UBC are subject to a four month and one day hold period which will expire on May 11, 2022.

On March 14, 2022, the Company granted 100,000 stock options to a consultant of the Company in accordance with the Company's incentive stock option plan. The option vests on July 15, 2022 and is exercisable to acquire common shares of the Company at a price of $0.55 until March 14, 2027.

On April 28, 2022, Henry Dubina was elected as an additional independent director of the Company by its shareholders. Mr. Dubina was the president and Strategic Business Unit Head of Mettler-Toledo AutoChem ("MT AutoChem") between 1999 and his retirement in 2022. As the President and Head of MT AutoChem for over 20 years, he directed the global business from Research & Development, Manufacturing, and Marketing, to Sales and Service.
