CORPORATE OVERVIEW

History

Admiral Bay Resources Inc. ("Admiral") was incorporated in British Columbia on September 3, 1987. 

Effective September 23, 2019, Admiral was part of a three-cornered amalgamation among Admiral, 2693980 Ontario Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Admiral) and Cultivar Holdings Ltd. (the "Transaction"). Admiral completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which 2693980 Ontario Inc., amalgamated with Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Pursuant to the Transaction, each registered shareholder of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. received one (1) common share in the capital of the Admiral for each common share held, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 97,439,900 common shares to Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Shareholders. As part of the Transaction, warrants of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. were replaced with common share purchase warrants of Admiral.

At completion of the Transaction, Admiral changed its name to Cultivar Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "Predictmedix").

On April 9, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed its name change from "Cultivar Holdings Inc." to "Predictmedix Inc." (the "Name Change"). The CUSIP number assigned to the Company's common shares following the name change is CUSIP 74040L100 (ISIN CA74040L1004). In connection with the Name Change, the Company's trading symbol, as listed on the CSE and the OTCQB also changed from "CULT" to "PMED", and from "CVRHF" to "PMEDF", respectively.

The Company's corporate head office is located at 77 King Street W, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1G8.

On February 15, 2018, the Company had acquired a 49% interest in a newly incorporated Cultivar JA Limited, ("CJA") a corporation incorporated under the laws of Jamaica. The remaining 51% interest was owned by local Jamaican business partners. On March 27, 2020, the Company sold and discontinued its interests in CJA.

On July 16, 2018, the Company had acquired a 100% interest in a newly incorporated CannIP Holdings Inc. (formerly 2639745 Ontario Inc.) ("Cann") a corporation incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario. Cann is engaged in the development of cosmetic and edible product lines, as well as investment in technology to detect the influence of cannabis on individuals. The Company did a one for one share exchange with Cann and issued 29,800,000 common shares to the shareholders of Cann.


The Company's Business and Products

The Company's business is focused on developing artificial intelligence ("AI") powered technologies for general workplace health and safety, and for the health care industry. In particular, the Company has developed A technology for the identification and detection of infectious disease symptoms (including COVID-19), sometimes referred to in this Registration Statement as our Infectious Disease Symptom Screening Solutions ("IDSS") and marketed in North America under the name "Safe Entry System."  In addition, the Company is developing AI powered products that address (1) detection of alcohol and/or cannabis impairment in individuals; (2) mental illness screening; and (3) remote patient monitoring and treatment plans, sometimes referred to herein as the Mobile Wellbeing product. The following is a description of our primary product, the IDSS, and the products under development.

Infectious Disease Symptom Screening Solutions ("IDSS")

Our primary product that is being marketed and sold currently.  All Canadian Display Company Ltd, an Ontario corporation doing business as "Juiceworks Exhibits" ("Juiceworks") is the constructor and selling agent for the Company's Safe Entry Systems in North America.  An initial license fee is received by the Company from customers when a Safe Entry System is sold or leased by Juiceworks.  The Company then will receive a recurring monthly licensing fee from customers.  A formal agreement with Juiceworks covering exclusive fabrication rights and non-exclusive selling rights is under discussion but has not been completed as of the date of this statement.  Outside of North America, the Company intends to market and sell the Safe Entry System directly, however, the Company may enter into arrangements with third parties similar to the arrangement with Juiceworks to cover other territories.

As a screening system, our IDSS does not render conclusive diagnoses, nor can it identify asymptomatic cases.  Rather, it can (and should) be used to identify persons who are more likely to test positive for certain infectious diseases and refer such persons to undergo a more definitive test, such as a rapid COVID test.  Our IDSS marketing targets potential customers who may have to rapidly screen large numbers of people where it is not practical to diagnostically test all of them.  Such a situation arises in many public events.  In a place where large numbers of people are to be admitted to a common area, the IDSS could be used to identify individuals who are more likely to test positive and yield a smaller pool of individuals who could then undergo a rapid diagnostic test prior to admission.Our IDSS screening stations will be networked and will collect data on an entirely anonymous basis that will enhance the performance of our IDSS screening stations everywhere.  Our AI technology incorporates machine learning techniques that enables the system to improve accuracy as additional data is available.

Remote patient monitoring and treatment plans application, sometimes referred to herein as the Mobile Wellbeing product (the "Mobile Wellbeing App"

This product was substantially developed by Mobile Wellbeing, a company that we acquired in July of 2020.  The product is a telemedicine remote patient monitoring platform.  We are currently adding additional modules to this platform that will enable us to use a patient's history and real time medical data, such as blood pressure or blood glucose level, to provide patients and their medical professionals with treatment plans for chronic disease management and in some cases lifesaving advance notice of when a patient should go to a hospital.  This product will be marketed or sold by the Company once the modules are added to the platform.




Products Under Development

Impairment Detection Screening

Our Impairment Detection Screening scanner is under development and is not being marketed or sold currently.  The product incorporates the Company's proprietary AI technology and is being developed to detect cannabis and/or alcohol drug impairment in individuals.  The product will be developed as a screening station that is capable of making a recommendation as to whether individuals passing through the screening station should undergo additional definitive testing. 

Mental Health Screening

 

Our Mental Health Screening station is under development and is not being marketed or sold currently.  The product will incorporate the Company's proprietary AI technology to detect behavioral and physiological indicators of mental illness such as depression, autism, ADHD and dementia.  As a step in the screening process, persons would be asked to read a script while undergoing the scan that detects vocal qualities, vocal cadence and physiological factors such as blood flow in the face.  The intended use for this product will be to screen for indicators of mental disorders and make recommendations as to whether individuals passing through the screening station should undergo additional evaluation.  In this way, the system could be used as a triage tool at mental health centers, police stations or any setting where a preliminary mental health assessment is required, and mental health professionals are not readily available to perform an assessment or are over-taxed by an inflow of possible cases.  This technology represents an ambitious application of the Company's AI technology and is in a developmental stage.  A prototype is not expected prior to the second half of 2022 and may not be ready for public demonstration prior to 2023.



Operations

We will license our software to two distinct markets; law enforcement agencies and a variety of industries that are concerned about infectious disease and impairment in the workplace such as manufacturing, mining, and aviation, as well as any public venues where large numbers of people gather.

The Company's AI powered technology utilizes multispectral imaging with a focus on visual spectral imaging along with infrared thermography to identify individuals exhibiting symptoms associated with infectious diseases. The AI technology monitors and identifies potential presence of infectious disease symptoms such as fatigue, headache, coughing, sneezing, blood flow, sweat gland activation, metabolism, fever along with other key determinant factors. The technology can be deployed using multispectral cameras in facilities where there is large movement of people. The data collected is brought into a central server / cloud for analysis and alerts are sent in case of a positive detection. Privacy concerns are addressed by using dedicated servers, access control, no video data storage - only processing being carried out by our technology. Furthermore, even the summarized frames lack any personal identifiers. Additionally, the information on the camera stays anonymous so we cannot map which camera it is. The technology has been further refined and assembled in a proprietary hardware configuration (patent pending) which can be deployed in any facility with an electricity and an internet connection. This is in form of gateway structures like metal detectors seen in facilities all over North America. In addition to the technology development and deployment in North America, the Company is exploring business development opportunities across the world.

The Company has also focused on strategic acquisitions to bolster the technology portfolio which will carry long term value to the shareholders of the company. As such, in June 2020, the Company also announced a strategic acquisition which is a major step towards turning its screening technologies into a complete enterprise solution. The company announced the acquisition of MobileWellbeing, an innovative, feature rich, Telemedicine Remote Patient Monitoring platform.  The Company plans to integrate MobileWellbeing with its Artificial Intelligence driven rapid screening system for infectious diseases, including COVID-19, and its screening modules for impairment and mental illness. Notably, we expect to turn our screening solutions into enterprise solutions with back-end patient or employee return-to-work monitoring.  Additionally, we expect that this acquisition will allow Predictmedix to enter the growing markets of telehealth and clinical trials. Furthermore, MobileWellbeing can be used for data collection, transmission, evaluation, notification and intervention at home or through kiosks that might be especially useful in Long Term Care and Retirement Community settings.

MobileWellbeing has demonstrated its value in multiple different programs over several years, and has shown benefits such as improved patient health, minimized the impact of chronic disease, and driven down the cost for care through remote monitoring. MobileWellbeing has a unique and robust set of features such as, Assisted Monitoring that allows for data collection, transmission, evaluation, notification and intervention at home or through kiosks that might be especially useful in Long Term Care and Retirement Community settings.

The Interactive Voice Response System also gives patients the accessibility to interact with the system without the need for internet connected devices. This is an important consideration given the breadth of population affected and for regions, sometimes remote, where connectivity remains a major issue. The MobileWellbeing platform's suite of features are uniquely applicable to multiple use cases that impact Predictmedix clientele. Workplaces of all sizes and sectors want their Human Resources ("HR") departments to monitor employee recovery during quarantine periods and manage their transition back to work while maintaining employee privacy. Healthcare providers will now have a very robust tool to be able to remotely manage all aspects of care, recovery, and support whilst protecting all parties from the dangers of further infection transmission.


A patient can be critically ill or is not in a condition to visit the hospital or a medical physician on a regular basis. Such restriction may result in the deterioration of health of the patient. For example, a patient may be bed ridden and perfectly in good health but requires necessary monitoring of their health condition. At the same time, the patient is also reluctant to go to the hospital. In another scenario, the patient may be in a critical condition and needs lifesaving treatment before the patient can reach the hospital. All these scenarios require a system that can automatically recommend and adapt to a treatment so that the both lifestyle management and/or prescriptive analytics can provide better health management to a patient.

On December 16, 2021, the Company announced the inaugural health and wellness placement of the Safe Entry Station technology at Ste. Anne's Spa, a popular health and wellness retreat in Ontario. This marks the Company's foray into the hospitality space, as we believe the public demand for safe vacations and relaxation experiences is high.


On January 12, 2022, the Company announced the accuracy rates for its technology to identify cannabis and alcohol impairment. In a supervised environment with 128 participants, the Company's proprietary AI technology demonstrated a 79-87% efficacy in identification of cannabis impairment and 76-92% efficacy in identification of alcohol impairment (depending on the amount of cannabis or alcohol consumed by the subject). Furthermore, the company also announced a North American clinical study for its cannabis and alcohol impairment screening technology. Building on the datasets and insights from previous research and studies, the company announced commencement of an additional clinical study in February 2022 with researchers and doctors at a North American hospital. If the study shows similar results, the hospital study will provide a third-party independent validation of the Company's impairment detection solution ahead of commercial launch. The data collected can be used by the Company to further fine-tune the AI algorithms. The results of the independently validated study will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.  The Company has engaged an accredited consulting firm to assist the Company in seeking classification of the technology as a class II medical device in the US.

On January 26, 2022, the Company announced another North American clinical study for it's infectious disease screening technology. Predictmedix is providing one (1) Safe Entry Station to be used to screen staff to provide protection, and two (2) units to screen incoming patients along with collecting symptom data from COVID-19 positive patients, whom will be validated by PCR tests.  The hospital study will provide a third-party independent validation of the Company's Infectious Diseases Detection Solution ahead of a commercial launch, fulfilling a prerequisite for certification with the U.S.  Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The results of the study will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Predictmedix has engaged an accredited consulting firm to assist the Company in seeking classification of the technology as a Class II Medical Device in the United States. Class II devices are FDA approved for the market through the Premarket Notification, or 510(k) process. The 510(k) process entails a complex application to the FDA, which demonstrates that a device is safe and effective by demonstrating that the device is equivalent to another device which is on the market. While individual aspects and features of the Safe Entry Station are comparable to FDA class II devices, it is important to note that the Safe Entry Station differs from other medical devices as it is assimilating multiple features and combining it with the artificial intelligence driven decision making, which has wide ranging applications in healthcare.

The clinical studies are critical for the company to move forward with full scale commercialization of its technology. Although, the company has successfully deployed its technology at tier 1 events across the globe and has received validation from the client, the third-party clinical validation will serve as the launching pad for global rollout and expansion of the technology.

On April 5, 2022, the company announced conclusion of an initial deployment of a Safe Entry Station at a major Las Vegas entertainment event through its partnership with Uptown Sports Marketing. The event venue served as a unique opportunity to demonstrate the Company's proprietary AI-enabled screening solution to area representatives from some of the largest Las Vegas and Global entertainment and hospitality sector companies, which visited the Safe Entry Station throughout the week to see it in action.

Predictmedix and Uptown Sports Marketing partnered with the Las Vegas event organizer to design a safety protocol for event attendees to efficiently screen key operating staff and performers for signs of infectious diseases as they entered the event for work. This was then evaluated by Las Vegas hospitality sector representatives as staff and performers walked through the Safe Entry Station to rapidly identify multiple symptoms of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, displaying the result in the form of a red or green light.


As part of our efforts to broaden the shareholder base, on May 24, 2022, the company announced that the management will present at the 12th Annual LD Micro Invitational on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022, at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village, California and subsequently on June 7th, the company management presented at the invitation only conference where the company's pitch was received quite well.

In parallel, the company carried on with it's efforts towards tech commercialization and on June 15th, the company announced that it has secured a revenue-generating deployment at the DeBeers Forevermark Forum 2022 from June 29 - July 1, 2022. The Safe Entry Stations will be utilized to screen both guests and staff for signs and symptoms of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. This repeat commercial placement was secured through the Company's South Asia partner, Entertainment Bay, who focuses on serving the live event market and seeks high visibility event placements for the Safe Entry Station. Furthermore, on June 29th, the company announced that it has received a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) from KaTron Defence Space and Simulation Technologies, a leading Turkish provider of simulation products and services for aviation and aerospace, for the deployment of eighty (80) Safe Entry Stations for their corporate headquarters in Ankara, Turkey along with international clients.

The LOI, reflecting subscription fees of at least USD$1.4 million per year (CAD$1.85 million at the current exchange rate), is pending receipt of publication of results from a clinical study in a peer reviewed publication before transitioning to a formal purchase order, the announcement of which is expected in the third quarter of 2022. The LOI covers the deployment of 80 Predictmedix Safe Entry Stations, which are used to power "Fit for Work" screening - a non-invasive, autonomous, non-biased, and cost-efficient workplace screening solution for countless industries around the globe. Fit for Work screening ensures workers are in an alert mental and physical state by screening for impairment from Cannabis and alcohol, extreme fatigue, and symptoms of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.

At the same time, the company further refined their AI algorithms and on July 25th announced its accuracy rates for identifying Respiration Rate, Heart Rate, and Core Body Temperature as part of its Fit for Work screening solutions for industries across the Globe.

Building upon previously collected data from clinical sites and real-world deployments, Predictmedix validated its technology on 270 participants which included two clinical sites. Participants walked through Safe Entry and their vitals were identified using the AI algorithms of Safe Entry in conjunction with edge computing.  Simultaneously, the same vitals were also collected using standard medical devices with which the data from Safe Entry could be compared and correlated with.

The results of the accuracy rates are as follows:

Identification of Respiration Rate: 98.38%

Identification of Core Body Temperature: 98.37%

Identification of Heart Rate: 85%

Following the exceptional accuracy rates, the Company has initiated the next phase of Third-Party Validation by creating manuscripts which will be sent for peer review to academic journals for publication. Additionally, the Company has made significant developments to their novel IP for the filing of the Company's patents.

On August 22, 2022, the Company announced that it closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "First Tranche"). Pursuant to the First Tranche, the Company issued 8,300,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per unit to investors for gross proceeds of $415,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one (1//2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Net proceeds from the First Tranche will be used for general operations (working capital) including business development and technology upgrades. All securities issued in connection with the First Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of the securities.


On November 7, 2022, the company announced that it has closed the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement.

Clinical trials:

On February 15 2023, the company announced pivotal clinical validation data from one of the largest Government hospital groups in India for the company's AI-powered Safe Entry Stations. The third-party clinical findings from 400 patients show that Predictmedix's Safe Entry Stations accurately screen for various physiological conditions non-invasively - a pivotal milestone for the company's proprietary technology portfolio and for the global healthcare industry. The scope of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Predictmedix's AI-powered screening technology. The Safe Entry Station is a walk-thru system where an individual stands in front of the unit for 2-3 seconds while the multi-spectral imaging cameras gather the necessary information to determine the physiological state of the individual. Parameters like temperature, heart rate and respiration rate are collected non-invasively and the AI/ML algorithms compute a result. Vitals hold key insight into an individual's state, whether they're dealing with health complications, influenza, fatigue or even impairment. Safe Entry does not capture or store personal identity information, ever.

On March 8, 2023, the company announced the completion of a 1600-person clinical study taken place at a prominent University in Indonesia for the purpose of validating the company's AI-powered non-invasive screening technology in order to prepare for the regulatory approval application to classify Safe Entry as a medical device. As the company's commercialization efforts are underway in Indonesia, having Safe Entry classified as a Medical Device is an integral step to scaling into the landscape of the Indonesian market. The third-party validation of the company's AI-powered screening technology marks yet another milestone for the efficacy of Safe Entry.

On March 28, 2023, the company announced that it's AI-powered technology, powering the Safe Entry Station, was Featured in a major Indonesian newspaper published on March 27, highlighting the validation on over 2,000 individuals and confirming the effectiveness of the technology as well as the potential it has for Healthcare. The University of Raharja conducted testing and validation on over 2,000 individuals using Safe Entry and now working with the Government to identify solutions for the healthcare sector while working towards the approval of Safe Entry as a medical device in Indonesia.

Technological advancements:

On March 15, 2023, the company announced the production of its AI-Powered mobile app in conjunction with a portable multi-spectral imaging camera to non-invasively detect impairment from alcohol and cannabis. The non-invasive solution will be commercialized with the intent to serve global law enforcement agencies, transport, and other mobile high-risk industries where impairment remains a significant liability. The Company's recently conducted studies showed that its screening tool can accurately identify impaired individuals with a success rate of over 90%. Furthermore, the screening process takes less than 30 seconds to complete, making it a quick and reliable way to identify impairment.

On March 20, 2023, the company announced that the US Patent Office has granted a patent for its AI-powered technology (United States Patent Application Number: 16/892,369) for the non-invasive detection of impairment caused by alcohol and/or cannabis. The patented technology uses multispectral imaging and speech analysis to identify and extract features from an individual, allowing the technology to determine whether the individual is exhibiting signs associated with impairment. The technology is part of the Company's Fit for Duty screening solutions, which provide contactless and bias-free screening for impairment, extreme fatigue, and infectious diseases.


On March 23, 2023, the company announced that it has achieved over 90% accuracy in identifying impaired individuals using a combination of multispectral imaging and speech analysis, as demonstrated in the Company's latest study. As the technology is powered by artificial intelligence, its accuracy rate is only expected to increase with time, thanks to the deep learning and machine learning algorithms that allow the system to learn and adapt from new data. The patent granted to the company outlines the process of how data gathered from multispectral imaging and speech analysis is used for identification of impairment. This involves the capture of data by a multispectral camera along with a speech sample. Features and their intensities are extracted and correlated with impairment, with each feature generating an intensity representation. At least one impairment analytical model is then applied to determine a respective impairment likelihood, and a confidence level is determined for each impairment likelihood based on the characteristics associated with at least the applied impairment analytical model and that feature. With the use of impairing substances, individuals can be unable to safely perform certain tasks. For example, the use of drugs such as cannabis or alcohol can impair an individual's physiological and/or psychological state, leading to significant safety risks. Predictmedix's technology functions by identifying signs of impairment and correlating them with various levels of impairment-inducing agents. Furthermore, the AI algorithms can even identify if someone has consumed just one "standard alcoholic beverage," which may or may not be classified as impaired depending on the jurisdiction. The company offers flexibility for end-users to define the thresholds used to flag someone as impaired or not, based on internal policies and/or the jurisdiction they are operating in. The patented technology will also be used in Predictmedix's AI-powered mobile app, which works alongside a portable multispectral imaging camera for non-invasive impairment detection. The company plans to commercialize its mobile solution to serve global law enforcement agencies, transport, and other high-risk industries where impairment is a significant liability.

On April 19, 2023, the company announced significant advancement in its Safe Entry Stations. The Company's AI-powered screening technology will now be able to take non-invasive blood pressure readings, making Safe Entry a vital tool for detecting and managing cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of global mortality. Using artificial intelligence technology, Predictmedix's Safe Entry Stations already screen individuals for vital parameters such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. With the added ability to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Safe Entry Stations now provide even greater accuracy for its healthcare applications as well as workplace and law enforcement screening tools. Predictmedix is also pleased to announce that it has introduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in its vital parameters detection, which provides an early indication of the onset of several diseases. The HRV component reflects the functions of a parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, the two components of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which control heart activity. Studies are underway in India to progress and validate HRV screening capabilities. Additionally, the company is initiating Blood Oxygen Saturation screening trials to further enhance its screening solutions.

On May 10, the company announced launch of launch of its ground-breaking complete triage solution. Predictmedix's cutting-edge system encompasses a wide range of parameters, including 8 new parameters, providing an unparalleled level of accuracy and efficiency in healthcare assessments. Recognizing the urgent need for efficient triage solutions, Predictmedix has initiated deployments of its comprehensive system in major hospitals in a targeted geography in Asia where the number of patients coming in a day often exceeds 1000. The company's triage solution has been seamlessly integrated into certain hospitals' existing healthcare infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruption.


The company's Triage Solution incorporates the measurement and analysis of the following vital parameters: temperature, eye redness, heart rate, respiration rate, fatigue, weight, BMI, BMR, blood pressure, heart rate variability, skeletal muscle, resting metabolism, visceral fat, body fat percentage, bone mass, and alcohol/cannabis impairment. Predictmedix expects to scale up its operations in the near to mid term. The technology has the potential to revolutionize the way hospitals manage patient care and could be a game-changer for the healthcare industry.

On May 17, 2023, the company announced the launch of its ground-breaking fitness scan vertical tailored specifically for athletes, teams, and sports federations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparing financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to select from possible alternative accounting principles. Estimates also affect classification and reported amounts for various assets, liabilities, equity balances, revenues and expenses. Prior estimates are revised as new information is obtained and are subject to change in future periods.  Management believes the accounting policies and estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements are considered appropriate in the circumstances but are subject to numerous judgments and uncertainties inherent in the financial reporting process.


The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company, as well as the determination of functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiary has been determined to be the Canadian dollar.

Income taxes - There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.  The Company recognizes liabilities based on the Company's current understanding of tax laws as applied to the Company's circumstances.  Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Stock option valuation ‐ Issuances and grants of share options are valued using the fair value method.  Management uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of options determined at grant date.  Grants of options result in non-cash charges to expense and a corresponding credit to share-based payment reserves.  Charges associated with granted options are recorded over the vesting period.  Significant assumptions affecting valuation of options include the trading value of the Company's shares at the date of grant, the exercise price, the term allowed for exercise, a volatility factor relating to the Company's historical share price, forfeiture rates, dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.

Useful life of property and equipment - Property and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.

Useful life of intangible assets - The intangible asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.

New standards not yet adopted

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The IASB has published Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) which clarifies the guidance on whether a liability should be classified as either current or non-current. The amendments:

• clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should only be based on rights that are in place "at the end of the reporting period"

• clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability

• make clear that settlement includes transfers to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services that result in extinguishment of the liability.


This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset acquired, which varies depending on the nature of the intangible asset. Intangible assets are amortized from the date when they are available for use.

The estimated useful life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Internally incurred development costs are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

a) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use;

b) management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

c) there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

d) it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

e) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available; and

f) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets may relate to the Company's external development expenditures in relation to intellectual property development. Development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Intangible assets with definite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. These intangible assets will be amortized when they are ready for use. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates on a prospective basis.

During the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company had cash outflows from operating activities of $534,175 (prior year outflows for $1,532,254), which was a result of the net loss of $2,067,757 (prior year $1,882,178), reduced by the non- cash items included in net loss of $677,908 (prior year reduced by $298,534) and reduced by changes in non-cash working capital of $855,674 (prior period reduced by $51,390). The overall reduction in cash outflows from operating activities by $998,079 is attributable to the reduction in spend of $47,371 in investor relations costs, reduction in marketing cost expense of $214,553, reduction in legal costs by $97,778, reduction of sales tax receivable for $185,500 in current year as compared to an increase of $99,530 in prior year and increase in accounts payable for $498,802 in current year as compared to increase for $199,098 in prior year.

During the current year, the Company purchased property and equipment for $94,827 (prior year $84,755) and invested in intangible assets for $49,850 (prior year $333,369).

The Company had inflow from financing activities during the year ended January 31, 2023, for $546,800 (prior year inflow of $1,681,628).  During the year the Company received 495,000 from proceeds of private placement of units (prior year $1,090,085) and incurred $33,200 as issue expenses (prior year $3,770). In addition, during the year the Company received $35,000 being proceeds of a promissory note repayable in four months (prior year: nil) and received $50,000 being subscriptions for shares (prior year: $nil)

The Company has financed its operations from inception to date through the issuance of equity shares.

The Company's administrative and other expenses may exceed available cash resources and additional funding may be required to further its projects and to meet ongoing requirements for general operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional financing, development of its projects and generation of profitable operations.

As such, the Company believes it will require additional funding over the next 12 months.

The Company's objectives when managing its capital structure are to preserve the Company's access to capital markets and its ability to meet its financial obligations.

Based on available funds, the Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to maintain flexibility while achieving the objectives stated above as well as support future business opportunities.

To manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust its project plans, operating expenditure plans, or issue new common shares. The Company monitors its capital structure using annual forecasted cash flows, expenditure budgets and targets for the year as well as corporate capitalization schedules. This is achieved by the Board of Directors' review and acceptance of expenditure budgets that are achievable within existing resources and the timely matching and release of the next stage of expenditures with the resources made available from private placements or other funding.

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. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements or covenants.


Going Concern Uncertainty

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,067,757 (January 31, 2022 - $1,882,178) and had negative operating cash flows of $534,175 (January 31, 2022 negative operating cash flow for $1,532,254). The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,082,946 since inception. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon its ability to generate cash flows from operations and to obtain and successfully close additional funding from equity financing, debt financing or through other arrangements. While the Company has been successful in arranging financing in the past, there can be no assurance the debt financing or any equity offering will be successful. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

While the Company has been successful in obtaining financing to date, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future on terms favorable for the Company. The Company may need to raise additional capital to fund operations. This need may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, approval by regulatory bodies, and adverse results from operations.

Liquidity is measured in various time bands, on day to day and week-to-week basis, as well as on long term liquidity needs over 180 day to 360 day look out periods.

BOARD PURPOSE AND FUNCTION

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. 

Based on this assessment, it was determined that certain weaknesses existed in internal controls over financial reporting.  As indicative of many small companies, the lack of segregation of duties and effective risk assessment were identified as areas where weaknesses existed.  The existence of these weaknesses is to be compensated for by senior management monitoring, which exists.  The officers will continue to monitor very closely all financial activities of the Company and increase the level of supervision in key areas.  It is important to note that this issue would also require the Company to hire additional staff in order to provide greater segregation of duties. Since the increased costs of such hiring could burden the Company's financial resources, management has chosen to disclose the potential risk in its filings and proceed with increased staffing only when the budgets and workload will enable the action.  The Company has attempted to mitigate these weaknesses, through a combination of extensive and detailed review by the CFO of the financial accounting and reporting.

(a) The Company being a venture issuer, is not required to certify the design and evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Control and Procedures ("DC&P") and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR") and has not completed such an evaluation; and

(b) inherent limitations on the ability of the certifying officers to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR for the issuer may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage of development of its business.  Current and potential investors should give special consideration to the risk factors involved, should the Company continue in the cannabis business.

Management

Dependence on Key Personnel, Contractors and Service Providers, shareholders of our Company rely on the good faith, experience and judgment of the Company's management and advisors in supervising and providing for the effective management of the business and the operations of the Company and in selecting and developing new investment and expansion opportunities.  The Company may need to recruit additional qualified contractors and service providers to supplement existing management.  The Company will be dependent on a relatively small number of key persons, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Value of Our Common Shares

The value of the Company's common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in and annual operating results, the success of the Company's business strategy, competition or other applicable regulations which may affect the business of the Company and other factors.


Additional Funding and Financing Risk

Additional funds will be required for future development.  The source of future funds available to the Company is through the sale of additional equity capital or borrowing of funds.  There is no assurance that such funding will be available to the Company. Furthermore, even if such financing is successfully completed, there can be no assurance that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect the Company's business and financial position.  In addition, any future equity financings by the Company may result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders.

Uninsured Hazards

The Company currently carries no insurance coverage.  The potential costs that could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting the Company's financial position.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain Directors and Officers of the Company also serve as Directors and officers of other companies involved in development and production.  Consequently, there exists the possibility that such Directors or Officers may be in a position of conflict of interest.  Any decision made by such Directors or Officers involving the Company are made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies.  In addition, such Directors will declare and refrain from voting on, any matter in which such Directors may have a material conflict of interest.

General Venture Company Risks

The common shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company's business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the common shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in common shares.

Uncertainty of Revenue Growth

There can be no assurance that the Company can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Company has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.


Marketing and Distribution Capabilities

In order to commercialize its technology, the Company must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market certain of its products, the Company must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. In order to maximize sales of other products, the Company may determine that it needs to either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its management and key personnel and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Company enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Company fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.

Rapid Technological Development

The markets for the Company's products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Company's success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Company's products or which render the products currently sold by the Company obsolete or less marketable. Regardless of the Industry as a whole, the less lethal sector moves somewhat slower in the adaptation and integration of new products.

The Company must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Company may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts and result in increased operating expenses.

Competition

The Company's industry is competitive and composed of many foreign companies. The Company expects to experience competition from competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.

Intellectual Property

The Company's ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology and manufacturing processes. Although the Company considers certain of its product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Company has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technology.


To protect the Company's intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.
