industry, which Maple Leaf believes to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares, and performance characteristics, such data is inherently imprecise. While Maple Leaf is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry or government data presented herein, the hemp industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and we cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Whether actual, performance or achievements will conform to the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those listed under "Risk Factors" in this MD&A. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect the Company's operations and financial results are discussed in the sections relating to risk factors of our business filed in the Company's required securities filings with applicable securities commissions or other securities regulatory authorities and which may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. The Company's forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, disclosure in this MD&A as well as statements regarding the Company's objectives, plans and goals, including future operating results, economic performance, and patient acquisition efforts may make reference to or involve forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance, or results to differ materially from what is projected in the forward-looking statements. The purpose of forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a description of management's expectations, and such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

Details of deficit and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of the Company are as follows:

September 30, 2021

December 31, 2020

Deficit

(43,572,696)

(42,396,799)

Working Capital

(7,400,921)

(6,424,495)

There are a number of outstanding legal claims against the Company stemming from its nonpayment of invoices relating to the construction of its cannabis growing facility in British Columbia. As such, there is a material uncertainty related to these events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Management has forecasted the expected expenditure levels and contracted commitments will exceed the Company's net cash inflows and working capital during fiscal 2021 unless further financing is obtained. Additional sources of funding will be required during fiscal 2021 to carry on operations and/or to realize on investment opportunities. The Company's future operations are dependent upon its ability to secure additional funds and generate product sales. While the Company is striving to achieve these plans, there is no assurance that these and other strategies will be achieved, or such sources of funds will be available or obtained on favorable terms or obtained at all. Historically, the Company has obtained funding via the issuance of shares and warrants as well as debt financing. If the Company cannot secure additional financing on terms that would be acceptable to it or otherwise generate product sales, the Company will have to consider additional strategic alternatives which may include, among other strategies, cost curtailments and delays of product launch, as well as seeking to license and/or divest assets or a merger, sale or liquidation of the Company. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments will be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Company was formed by the amalgamation of Maple Leaf Reforestation Inc. ("MLFI") and Intercontinental Mining Corp. under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), RSA 2000, c B-9 on February 24, 2005. MLFI changed its name to "Maple Leaf Green World Inc." by Certificate of Amendment dated October 9, 2012.

Maple Leaf's common shares (the "Common Shares") were previously listed under the symbol under the symbol "MGW" on the Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc. (the "NEO Exchange"). At the close of business on May 31, 2021, the Company voluntarily delisted its Common Shares from the NEO Exchange and subsequently completed the listing of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") on June 1, 2021. The Common Shares of the Company are traded on the CSE under the symbol "MGW".

The Company's Common Shares also trade on the OTCQB® Venture Market ("OTCQB") under the symbol "MGWFF" for U.S. and international investors.

On November 3, 2014, the Company filed Articles of Organization to form a limited liability company, Golden State Green World, LLC, ("GSGW") under the laws of the State of California. The Company owns 100% of the membership interests of GSGW.

On March 1, 2017, the Company filed Articles of Organization to form a limited liability company, SSGW, LLC ("SSGW"), under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company owns 100% of the membership interests of SSGW.

Maple Leaf has a registered office and head office located at Suite 20, 3515 27 Street NE, Calgary, AB, T1Y 5E4. The Company's telephone number is (403) 452-4552 and Maple Leaf's corporate website is www.mlgreenworld.com.

Maple Leaf and its subsidiaries are focused on the emerging hemp industry in North America. The Company devotes its time, effort, and capital to seek hemp business opportunities. Maple Leaf is engaged in hemp operations in the United States of America ("United States", "USA", the "US", "U.S.", or "U.S.A") in the state of California.

As of the date of this MD&A the Company owns land in the state of California and is operating six greenhouses focused on cultivating hemp seeds, flowers, biomass and clones under a US regulations permit.

CALIFORNIA HEMP OPERATIONS

The Company received a Hemp Seed Cultivation License ("The License") from Riverside County to start breeding Hemp Seed for CBG enriched Hemp in 2019. The Biomass of the Hemp grown from these special genetic type seeds contains a much higher CBG content than the Biomass from typical industrial Hemp, thus the market price for these types of seeds is much higher than the typical industrial Hemp seeds.

On November 9th 2020, the Company announced that the latest Certificate of Analysis ("COA") for its La Crème flowers continues to show rising CBG concentration during the curing phase. The latest lab results show 16.68% CBG and 0.11% THC and no other cannabinoids detected. It is noteworthy that most samples would present traces of other cannabinoids as enzymes break down CBG to produce other cannabinoids. The lack of these other cannabinoids indicates a pure CBG flower. The Company expects ultimately to achieve 18-20% CBG.

The Company completed harvesting its 2nd crop in March 2021. All five (5) greenhouses have also been upgraded to be fully automated and winterized. The low THC nature of the La Crème strain has allowed the Company to make adjustments during the vegetative phase to maximize both CBG concentration and yield. In June 2021 the Company planted its third crop, with an expected harvest in the fourth quarter 2021.

With the four additional greenhouses constructed in 2020, the Company has currently five greenhouses for hemp seed cultivation and one smaller greenhouse used for plant germination purposes. The company has a total of over 17,000 square feet of growing space.

The Company also has plans to utilize the remaining open space on the 20-acre parcel of land to grow Hemp outdoors in the summer months or add additional greenhouses as market conditions dictate.
