Nature of operations The Company is a veterinary health company creating point-of-care diagnostics and therapeutics products for dogs and cats that focuses on the needs of the veterinarians themselves. The Company consists of the parent company, Zomedica Corp and its wholly-owned U.S subsidiary, Zomedica Inc. and its international subsidiaries. The impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Since the first quarter of 2020, the world has been impacted by the spread of a novel strain of coronavirus, its variants, and the disease that they cause known as COVID-19. The continued presence of COVID-19 has resulted in changes in the macro-economic environment including disruptions in supply chain, labor disruptions, an inability to manufacture, an inability to sell to customers, declines in customer demand, inflationary pressures, and an impaired ability to access credit and capital markets, among other things. The COVID-19 pandemic materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform and the initial five assays. In response to the pandemic, our development partner reduced the number of employees working in its facilities for a period of time which delayed the completion and verification of the five initial TRUFORMA assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA platform. Veterinary hospitals and clinics that agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA assays either shut down for a period of time or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions, which we have mitigated to a certain extent with our recent ability to successfully complete remote installations. Potential customers, at times, restricted access to their facilities which affected and may continue to affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, the spread and severity of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of governmental actions in response to the pandemic. To-date, the emergence of new variants has not caused significant modification to business operations. We continue to install remotely, if potential customers restrict access to their facilities. We intend to continue development of new assays, both for equine indications of our current and planned assays, and for various additional disease states affecting canine, feline, and equine patients in the future.
