EMPOWER CLINICS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Expressed in US dollars, except where noted)

 

1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Empower Clinics Inc. (“Empower” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 20, 1997 and subsequently continued as a federally incorporated Canadian company pursuant to a continuation under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 27, 2008. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 505 - 1771 Robson Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6G 1C9. The Company’s shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “EPW”.

 

The Company is an integrated healthcare company that provides body and mind wellness for patients through its medical clinics, digital and telemedicine care, medical diagnostics laboratories and sale of medical devices.

 

Going concern

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will be able to continue operating as a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has a history of losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and as at September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,996,239 (December 31, 2021 - $4,542,752) and an accumulated deficit of $62,791,166 (December 31, 2021 - $62,334,945). These circumstances present a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company anticipates that it will pursue growth opportunities through acquisitions, the expansion of clinic locations and through new product development in order to drive revenue and generate positive cash flows from operations. The ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise sufficient additional funds to finance development activities and/or its ability to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations. There is no certainty that management’s plans described above will be successful or that sufficient financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments (if any) to the recorded amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, which could be necessary if the use of the going concern assumption is ultimately determined to be inappropriate. Such adjustments, if any, could be material.

 

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

a) Statement of compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and authorized for issue on November 28, 2022.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). As such, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

b) Basis of presentation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, as specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense as set out in the accounting policies below.

 

c) Functional and presentation currency

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), except as otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of each subsidiary is listed below. References to C$ or CAD are to Canadian dollars.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

 

d) Reclassification of prior year amounts

 

The Company has reclassified certain items on the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows, and the condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficiency to conform with current period presentation.

 

Reclassification in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

Reclassification in the condensed interim consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ deficiency for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes the reclassification of agent share purchase warrants and agent compensation warrants to warrants presented within warrant reserve. As a result, the effects from exercise of agent share purchase warrants and exercise of agent compensation warrants are now presented under exercise of warrants classified within warrant reserve.

 

e) Basis of consolidation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

4. ACQUISITION OF MEDISURE

 

On July 30, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Medi + Sure Canada Inc. (“MediSure”). Founded in 2010, MediSure produces diabetes testing products for sale in the Canadian market.

 

Consideration in the transaction had an aggregate fair value of $2,720,525 (C$3,403,767) comprised of cash consideration of $794,021 (C$1,000,000), a promissory note of $200,363 (C$250,000), and 4,582,483 common shares with a fair value of $1,726,141 (C$2,153,767). The promissory note matured on July 30, 2022 and is now due on demand. Due to the short-term nature of the note, effects of discounting were deemed to be immaterial. Of the total common shares issued, 2,036,659 shares are subject to contractually imposed trading restrictions through July 2023 with 254,582 common shares released from escrow every three months commencing on October 30, 2021 (the “restricted trading shares”). The fair value of the restricted trading shares was not subject to a discount for lack of marketability as the trading restrictions are imposed via a contract as opposed to via securities legislation.

 

The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

The acquired accounts receivable contained $3,338 of GST receivable and $119,961 of trades receivable. Acquired property and equipment was comprised of right-of-use assets with a fair value of $124,640 office equipment with a fair value of $5,357. The lease liability represents one lease with a fair value of $124,640 on the date of acquisition, which is the net present value of the minimum future lease payments determined using the following assumptions: (1) remaining number of payments - 60; (2) monthly payment - $2,405 (C$3,000); and (3) incremental borrowing rate - 6.00% per annum.

 

The shareholder loan balance at acquisition consisted of a vehicle loan with a payout balance of $10,715 (C$13,407).

 

The goodwill generated as a result of this acquisition related to other intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. During the Company’s annual recoverability test on December 31, 2021, the goodwill was found to be fully impaired and was written off.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid $19,560 (C$25,010) of the consideration payable.

 

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF SUN VALLEY

 

On March 8, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Sun Valley for total cash consideration of $181,664. Discontinued operations are comprised of Sun Valley’s operations until the date of disposal. Sun Valley’s results of operations, and details of the sale are set out below.

9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (Continued)

 

As a result of indicators of impairment in Diagnostics & Technology CGU, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the CGU for the period ended September 30, 2021. The Company determined that the CGU’s carrying amount exceeded its recoverable amount and found that the entire amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU of $2,690,198 was impaired. The goodwill was comprised of $310,737 resulting from the acquisition of Kai Medical and $2,379,461 resulting from the acquisition of MediSure (Note 4). The CGU’s recoverable amount was determined using a value in use calculation with the following key assumptions: (1) discount rate - 17%; (2) income tax rate - 27%; (3) terminal growth rate - 2%; (4) working capital - 8% of sales.

 

The Company conducted an annual impairment test on the Health & Wellness CGU by preparing a value in use calculation to determine its recoverable amount. The Company determined that the CGU’s carrying amount exceeded its recoverable amount and found that the entire amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU of $1,771,409 was impaired. Significant assumptions in the value in use calculation were based on the number of clinics to be opened in the next two years and the expected revenues and margins from these clinics as well as the following key assumptions: (1) discount rate - 17%; (2) income tax rate - 27%; (3) terminal growth rate - 3%; (4) working capital - 5% of sales.

On January 21, 2022, the Company repaid a convertible note with principal of $198,851 (C$250,000) and accrued interest of $8,283 (C$10,414). The convertible note accrued interest at 2% per annum. At initial recognition, the conversion feature was determined to have $nil value as the note was convertible at a share price equal to the closing share price on the date prior to conversion for total shares equal to the face value of the note divided by the closing share price and as such, the settlement value was fixed at the face value of the obligation.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred interest of $nil and $nil, respectively (2021 - $999 and $2,985, respectively) on the convertible note payable.

420,000 agent purchase warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $0.12 (C$0.15) were exercised for proceeds of $48,346 (C$61,200) resulting in the issuance of 420,000 common shares. Upon exercise, $23,588 was transferred from warrant reserve to issued capital.

 

 

xii.

1,760,000 agent compensation warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 (C$0.04) were exercised for proceeds of $69,510 (C$88,000) resulting in the issuance of units comprised of 1,760,000 common shares and 1,760,000 warrants. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company determined that the fair value of warrants issued as part of the units was $1,056,940, which exceeded the total of the initial agent purchase warrants reserve amount of $47,251 and cash of $69,510 equal to $116,761. Accordingly, applying the residual method, the Company allocated $116,761 to warrant reserve and $nil to share capital. The fair value of warrants issued as part of units was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a 1.67 year expected average life, exercise price of $0.09 (C$0.12), share price of $0.69 (C$0.87); 100% volatility; risk-free interest rate of 0.29%; and an expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of these agent purchase warrants was recorded to warrant liability.

 

 

xiii.

On October 25, 2021, 880,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 (C$0.12) were exercised for proceeds of $85,591 (C$$105,600) resulting in the issuance of 880,000 common shares. Upon exercise, $58,380 was transferred from warrant reserve to share capital.

20. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO CASH FLOWS (Continued)

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, addition to property and equipment was $79,813, of which $26,146 was related to medical and lab equipment that had been paid in advance during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Income tax payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $nil (2021 - $nil). As at September 30, 2022, the Company has accrued $635,000 (December 31, 2021 - $635,000) in late tax filing penalties related to income taxes in the United States.

 

Total interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $236,725 (2021 - $457,172), of which $8,283 was from accrued interest prior to December 31, 2021.

 

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

a) Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities

 

The Company has established a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs of valuation techniques used in making fair value measurements as follows:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. from derived prices); and

 

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The carrying values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, consideration payable, and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments are measured at amortized cost.

 

As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the warrant liability and conversion feature of convertible debentures were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and they are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

b) Risk Management

 

The Company examines its various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. The risks may include credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Company’s risk management program strives to evaluate the unpredictability of financial markets and its objective is to minimize the potential adverse effects of such risks on the Company’s financial performance., where financially feasible to do so. When deemed material, these risks may be monitored by the Company’s finance group and they are regularly discussed with the Board of Directors.

 

i. Credit risk

 

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes amounts owed to the Company by these counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of offset exists and includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s credit risk is predominantly related to cash balances held in financial institutions and amounts receivable from credit card processors. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of such financial assets. As at September 30, 2022, the Company expects to recover the full amount of such assets.

 

The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to minimize potential losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the quality of its counterparties, taking into account their credit worthiness and reputation, past performance and other factors.

 

Cash is only deposited with or held by major financial institutions where the Company conducts its business. In order to manage credit and liquidity risk, the Company invests only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of one year or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty, and the credit rating.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

 

ii. Currency risk

 

The Company’s functional currency is the USD and therefore the Company’s income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are impacted by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the USD.

 

The table below summarizes the net monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies:

2022

2021

 

 

 

$

 

 

$

 

Canadian dollar net monetary liabilities

 

 

1,875,116

 

 

 

594,561

 

 

The effect on net loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of a 10% change in the foreign currencies against the USD on the above-mentioned net monetary liabilities of the Company is estimated to have an increase or decrease in foreign exchange gain or loss of $187,512 (December 31, 2021 - $54,051).

 

iii. Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and its expansion plans.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and performs business activities that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The Company has no concentrations of liquidity risk. A summary of future operating commitments is presented in Note 24.

 

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $469,712 (December 31, 2021 - $866,170) and current liabilities of $4,692,902 (December 31, 2021 - $7,703,093).

 

vi. Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a bank loan with carrying amount of $881,498 that has floating interest rate and therefore, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk. An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rates would result in an increase of $7,212 or decrease of $7,163 in interest expense on condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company’s related parties include subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, affiliated entities and key management personnel and any transactions with such parties for goods and/or services that are made on regular commercial terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not enter into any transactions with related parties outside of compensation to key management personnel as disclosed below.

 

Key management are those personnel having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the Company. Salaries and benefits, bonuses, and termination benefits are included in operating expenses and share-based payments are recorded as share-based payment expense.

In connection with the issuance of units via private placement closed on January 6, 2022, the Company issued 750,000 units to settle an amount of $117,730 that was due to the CEO.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were 475,000 options forfeited due to the resignation of the CFO. The Company recognized $57,189 in share-based payments related to vesting of these options and recognized a recovery of $24,753 on the unvested portion upon termination of the CFO’s employment.  

 

As at September 30, 2022, $113,833 (December 31, 2021 - $172,934) was due to the CEO and a director for salaries and benefits, and director’s fee. The amounts are unsecured and due on demand.

 

As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the other assets balance of $745,531 represents a loan with the CEO resulting from share subscriptions receivable. The amount was previously classified within equity as the loan was previously collateralized by the common shares of the Company owned by the CEO. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the terms of the loan were modified such that the loan is no longer collateralized by the CEO’s common shares. The receivable has no specified interest or terms of repayment. Management assessed credit risk of the share subscription receivable as low as the Company has offsetting payables to the CEO and an ongoing service contract.

 

23. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

 

The Company’s objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the capital of the Company comprised of the following:

The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Company also has in place a planning, budgeting and forecasting process which is used to identify the amount of funds required to ensure the Company has appropriate liquidity to meet short and long-term operating objectives. The Company is dependent on cash flows generated from its clinical operations and from external financing to fund its activities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or debt.

 

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

25. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, there were 2,200,000 warrants that expired unexercised.

 

On November 21, 2022, the Company announced a proposed private placement of:

 

 

i.

secured convertible debenture units (each a “Debenture Unit”) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture Unit for aggregate proceeds of $250,000, and

 

 

 

 

ii.

common shares units (each a “Share Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per Share Unit, for aggregate proceeds of $1,000,000.

 

Each Debenture Unit will be comprised of one senior secured convertible debenture with principal of $1,000 (each, a “Debenture”) and 20,000 warrants of the Company (each a “Warrant”). The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum and mature two years following the date of issuance. The principal amount of each Debenture may be converted into common shares of the Company at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.05 per common share. Each Warrant is exercisable into common shares of the Company at $0.075 per common share for two years following the date of issuance.

 

The Company also announced the settlement of all amounts owing under 3,700 outstanding convertible debentures, plus accrued interest thereon, in the aggregate amount of $3,786,400 (the “Outstanding Debentures”) in exchange for the issuance of a new secured convertible debenture having a principal amount of the Outstanding Debenture (the “New Debenture”). The New Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures two years following the date of issuance. The Outstanding Debentures were convertible into Shares at a conversion price of $0.20 per common share. The New Debenture will be convertible at $0.05 per common share. The Company also modified the terms of 18,500,000 warrants that were issued with the Outstanding Debentures to reduce the exercise price per common share from $0.30 to $0.075 per common share and extended the expiry date to two years from the date of issuance of the New Debentures.
