COMPANY DESCRIPTION
The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on September 22, 2016. The Company was formed for the primary purpose of completing an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The Company’s principal business is to identify, evaluate and acquire assets, properties or businesses which would constitute a qualifying transaction (“Qualifying Transaction”) in accordance with Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The Company’s head office is located at 880 – 580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3B6.
On February 13, 2019, the Company completed its IPO issuing 2,500,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $250,000. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into an Agency Agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”). The Company paid an aggregate of $50,300 in cash commission, corporate finance fee, legal and other expenses incurred by the Agent. In addition, the Company granted 250,000 non-transferable warrants to the Agent entitling the Agent to purchase common shares at a price of $0.10 per share. The warrants expired unexercised on February

13, 2021. The Company’s common shares were listed on the Exchange on February 13, 2019 under the symbol “FRS.P”.
PROPOSED TRANSACTION
On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Antares Gaming Corp. (“Antares”) and 1299840 B.C. Ltd., a newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Farstarcap, pursuant to which Farstarcap would acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Antares in exchange for the issuance of securities of Farstarcap, which would result in Antares becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farstarcap (the “Antares Transaction”). The Antares Transaction would have resulted in a reverse takeover of Farstarcap where existing security holders of Antares would own a majority of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Farstarcap and Farstarcap would be renamed “Antares Gaming Corp.” or such other name as Antares may determine. Farstarcap intended that the Antares Transaction would constitute its Qualifying Transaction pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the Exchange.
On September 27, 2021, the Company terminated the Antares Transaction and will focus on other opportunities to complete its Qualifying Transaction.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Instruments Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company has categorized fair value measurements of its financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the reliability of inputs used in making the measurements as follows:
-
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and
-
Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company classified and measures cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at amortized cost. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their shortterms to maturity.
The risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are as follows:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of cash. The Company’s cash is held with the Bank of Montreal. Accordingly, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows or fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s management has determined that exposure to interest rate risk is limited at present as the Company’s assets and liabilities are earning or incurring interest at market rates or where they are non-interest bearing or have fixed interest rates they have short terms to maturity.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows, as well as anticipated investing and financing activities. As at September 30, 2021, all of the Company’s liabilities are short-term and due on demand. At September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $107,618 (September 30, 2020 - $170,892).
Farstarcap Investment Corp. MD&A September 30, 2021
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.
