BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND READER GUIDANCE

Harrys was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia in 2007, formerly under the name of Westridge Resources Inc. The Company had previously focused on the acquisition, evaluation and exploration of mineral resource properties.

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with Harrys International Manufacturing Inc. ("HIMI") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of HIMI (the "HIMI Shares") in exchange for the common shares of the Company. HIMI initially focused on international sales but is now entirely focused on establishing a presence in the Canadian tobacco market.

On January 22, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with HIMI. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of HIMI in exchange for the issuance of 28,500,100 shares of common stock of the Company to the shareholders of HIMI. The Acquisition closed on October 4, 2018. On October 4, 2018, the Company also changed its name from Westridge Resources Inc. to Harrys Manufacturing Inc. On October 17, 2018, the Company shares commenced trading on the CSE under the symbol "HARY".

Tobacco Cigarette Sales

Over the past twelve months management continued to focus on the acquisition of tobacco licensing from provincial regulatory bodies. Despite significant delays and shutdowns related to the pandemic and remote work, many provinces were able to satisfy our licensing requirements, namely, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador.

During this same period our manufacturing partner faced challenges meeting the new Health Canada's imposedmandate forcing cigarettes into "Slide and Shell" packaging, which proved onerous for the cigarette manufacturers, for several reasons. First, the packaging type had been abandoned by most countries in the world, and there was a finite supply and demand for such equipment. Secondly, ongoing Covid variants was a contributing factor in a disrupted supply chain. Finally, there was significant competition chasing few parts. The Company and its manufacturing partner were able to overcome these challenges, although the positive resolution took longer than anticipated.

Now that licensing, equipment and slide and shell packaging is in place, Management is focused on sales opportunities in the value-priced segment of the Canadian cigarette market by providing quality products in the lowest price range. We hope to provide sufficient margin return to our wholesale and retail partners to make our offering attractive, and one that the retail community will support, coupled with a tobacco blend that we expect will appeal to adult tobacco consumers.

In working closely with our supply chain partners, Management has developed a route to market for HARRYS® in wholesale and retail channels that should lead to rapid penetration of the market into the Convenience outlet segment in Western Canada. Management anticipates first orders to be shipped to Western provinces starting in April 2022.

Reader Guidance

The Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS that are applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company had no revenues, incurred a net loss of $668,860 (2021 - $460,524), and used $309,629 (2021 - $311,321) of cash for operating activities. At January 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $24,867,173 (July 31, 2021 - $24,198,313) since inception and net working capital of $435,735 (July 31, 2021 - $413,618).

The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months from working capital, cash flow from operations and, if necessary, from loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants and private placement of common shares. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company's capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital or achieve profitability in the near term, management expects that the Company may need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Financial Position of the Company

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as "COVID-19") was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States and Canada, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19.

At this time the Company remains open for business, however significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole. Government-imposed restrictions on travel and other "social-distancing" measures such restrictions on assembly of groups of persons, have the potential to disrupt supply chains for parts and sales channels for our products, and may result in labor shortages. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

Fluctuations in the Company's expenditures reflect the variations in the timing of general operations, and the ability of the Company to raise capital for its projects, including share-based payments during certain quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company incurred operating expenses of $548,715 compared to operating expenses of $429,362 during the six months ended January 31, 2021. The increase in operating expenses were due mainly to an increase in management fees of $54,900 and office and administrative expenses of $105,245, which included an increase in insurance of $19,455, interest and bank of $6,731, and product packaging of $42,720.

For the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded net loss of $668,860 ($0.01 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $466,732 ($0.01 loss per share) for the six months ended January 31, 2021. The loss is mainly comprised of termination of lease liability of $58,843 (2021 - $nil), management fees of $135,000 (2021 - $80,100), consulting fees of $16,750 (2021 - $52,500), and office and administrative expenses of $159,795 (2021 - $54,550).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at January 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $243,234 and total assets of $576,536 compared to cash of $363,796 and total assets of $1,045,579 at July 31, 2021. The decrease in cash was due to cash used in operating activities of $309,629 during the six months ended January 31, 2022, partially offset by proceeds from financing activities of $189,067, as the Company continued to work towards obtaining federal and provincial licenses in order to commence sales and distribution of tobacco cigarettes. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the termination of a lease and the disposal of the related right-of-use asset and property and equipment, as well as the overall decrease of $120,562 of cash.

The Company had working capital of $435,735 at January 31, 2022 compared to working capital of $362,935 at January 31, 2021. The increase in working capital was primarily due to an increase in the prepaid amounts for future purchase orders of inventory and security for tobacco taxes that were made as part of our license approvals to commence our planned strategic operations, which was partially offset by an overall decrease in cash.

Our liabilities at January 31, 2022 included a convertible debenture of $180,820, which included debentures with a face value of $200,000 less discount of $30,194, which is being accreted over the life of the debenture, plus accrued interest of $11,014. The debenture is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum, and is due on or before March 2, 2023. The debenture is also convertible into units of the Company at $0.10 per unit up to March 2, 2022, and increasing to $0.12 per unit after March 2, 2022. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant where each share purchase warrant is exercisable into one additional common share of the Company at $0.12 per share for a period of two years from the conversion date.

For the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company's cash flow activity was as follows:
