INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Binovi Technologies Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Binovi Technologies Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at February 28, 2022, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 28, 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has a net loss of $16,380,085 during the year ended February 28, 2022, and as of that date, the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,286,391 and an accumulated deficit of $50,661,618. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at February 28, 2021 and for the year then ended, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on July 27, 2021.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Lonny Wong.

Binovi Technologies Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Binovi Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on September 7, 2011 as Nanton Nickel Corp. and changed its name to Eyecarrot Innovations Corp. on May 1, 2015. On June 30, 2020, the Company changed its name to Binovi Technologies Corp. The registered and records office is located at Suite 2080, 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, Canada. Prior to 2015, the Company was engaged in the business of mineral exploration in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VISN. On June 8, 2017, the Company’s common shares started trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol BNVIF.
The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of visual and neuro-cognitive processing products and manufactures hardware and software for diagnosing and remediating visual perception disorders.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates 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 business. Several conditions cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. For the year ended February 28, 2022, the Company has a net loss of $16,380,085 (2021 - $9,144,808). As at February 28, 2022, the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,286,391 (2021 - $312,511) and an accumulated deficit of $50,661,618 (2021 - $34,281,533). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise equity financing, however, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company. Management expects the Company to incur significant additional expenditures to continue development of its technologies and launch of its new products. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments may be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported revenue and expenses. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect should there be any adjustments necessary. Such adjustments could be material.
Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s business plans. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
2. Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, and are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Binovi Technologies Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. Basis of Preparation (continued)
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. All significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2023.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impact of such estimates appear throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other relevant factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the consolidated statement of financial position reporting date, which could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Collectability of amounts receivable
Provisions are made against accounts that, in the estimation of management, may be uncollectible. The recoverability assessment of trade and other receivables is based on a range of factors, including the age of the receivable and the creditworthiness of the customer. Determining the recoverability of an account involves estimation as to the likely financial condition of the customer and their ability to subsequently make payments. To the extent that future events impact the financial condition of the customers, these provisions could vary significantly and affect future results of operations.
Amortization of prepaid expenses
The Company estimates that their marketing and consulting contracts are amortized on a straightline basis over the term of the contract. As prepaid expenses are material and the terms of the contracts are over a period of time as stated in the contracts, the amortization of the prepaid amounts is subject to estimation.

Binovi Technologies Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Inventories
The Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices. A change to these assumptions could impact the Company’s inventory valuation and gross margins during the current and future periods.
Useful lives of intangible assets
Amortization of the Company's intangible assets incorporate estimates of useful lives. These estimates may change as market conditions change and the future economic benefits from the use of the asset changes, thereby impacting the useful life of the intangible asset. Any revisions to useful life are accounted for prospectively.
Share-based payments
The fair value of share-based payments is subject to the limitations of the Black-Scholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. As the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
Determination of Purchase Price Allocation
Estimates are made in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, including the valuation of separately identifiable intangibles acquired as part of an acquisition. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when cash flows are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Future performance results that differ from management’s estimates could result in changes to liabilities recorded, which are recorded as they arise through the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of identified intangible assets is determined using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows of the acquiree. Valuations are highly dependent on the inputs used and assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied. Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Consideration paid for an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Asset acquisitions do not give rise to goodwill.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Critical accounting judgments
Management must make judgments for items included in the consolidated financial statements. Judgments involve a degree of uncertainty and could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual events differ from a judgment made. A summary of items involving management judgment include, but are not limited to:
Functional currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiary is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Company has determined its functional currency and that of its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions that determined the primary economic environment.
Research and development expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for research and development expenditures requires judgment in determining whether an activity is determined to be research or development, and if deemed to be development, whether it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If new information becomes available indicating that it is unlikely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, the amount capitalized is written off to the consolidated statement of operations in the period the new information becomes available.
Determination of cash-generating units (“CGU”)
CGUs are defined as the lowest grouping of integrated assets that generate identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. The classification of assets into CGUs requires significant judgment and interpretations with respect to the integration between assets, the existence of active markets, external users and the way in which management monitors the Company’s operations.
Impairment of intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of whether any such indication exist requires significant management judgment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When an individual asset does not generate independent cash flows, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Impairment of intangible assets (continued)
Determining the amount of impairment of intangible assets requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher of fair value less the cost of disposal or value in use. Many factors used in assessing recoverable amounts are outside of the control of management and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change from period to period. These changes may result in future impairments.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay its ongoing operating expenditures and meet its liabilities for the ensuing year involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Asset acquisition versus business combination
Management had to apply judgment with respect to whether the acquisition of Samurai Motion Tracking Corp., Call ConnectMe Inc., 2270377 Alberta Ltd., 1252796 B.C. Ltd. and VTA Software Corp. were asset acquisitions or business combinations. The assessments required management to assess the inputs, processes and outputs of the companies acquired at the time of acquisition. Pursuant to the assessment, the acquisition of Samurai Motion Tracking Corp., Call ConnectMe Inc., 2270377 Alberta Ltd., 1252796 B.C. Ltd. and VTA Software Corp. were considered to be asset acquisitions.
4. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies outlined below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements:
(a) Basis of consolidation
In addition to the Company, these consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of its wholly owned subsidiary in the United States, Wayne Engineering Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada, Samurai Motion Tracking Corp., CallConnect Me Inc., 2270377 Alberta Ltd., 1252796 B.C. Ltd. and VTA Software Corp. These consolidated financial statements include the operating results of these subsidiaries from the date of acquisition. A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control, directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A subsidiary is consolidated from the date upon which control is acquired by the Company and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
(b) Inventory
Inventory components include all costs directly attributable to the production of the Binovi Touch, the Company’s visual and neuro-cognitive processing product, wall mounts for the Binovi Touch, and VIMA Strobe Lenses acquired through a business acquisition in July 2020 (Note 6). Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost, on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. The stated value of inventory includes purchase costs of all raw materials, assembly costs, storage costs and manufacturing overhead costs directly attributable to the production of the finished units. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (c) Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes its purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the estimated close down and restoration costs associated with dismantling and removing the asset.
Amortization is provided at rates calculated to write-off the cost, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
-
Furniture – 20% declining balance
-
Computer equipment – 20% declining balance
-
Leasehold improvement – straight-line over the lease term
An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Estimates of residual values and useful lives are reassessed annually and any change in estimate is taken into account in the determination of remaining amortization charges. Amortization commences on the date the asset is available for use.
(d) Foreign currency
The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
(e) Impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Intangible assets
Intangible assets include patented technology acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as incurred. Amortization is recorded using the straightline method and is intended to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| • | Intellectual property | 10 years |
|---|---|---|
| • | Domain name | 10 years |
| • | Website | 10 years |
| • | Mobile app | 10 years |
| • | Reseller and distribution network | 5 years |
| • | Brand | Indefinite |
Amortization methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(g) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses (except for goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations.
(h) Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred unless certain criteria, including technical feasibility, commercial feasibility, intent and ability to develop and use the technology, are met for deferral and amortization. Costs incurred in obtaining licenses are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Transaction costs relating to the acquisition of technologies are recorded as deferred acquisition costs until the transaction is completed.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (i) Revenue Recognition
Under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company uses the 5-step model for revenue recognition based on identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations, determining the individual transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the individual performance obligations making up the contract. Revenue is then recognized when or as the associated performance obligations are delivered and based on the expected consideration to be received
Revenue is derived primarily from the sales of visual and neuro-cognitive processing products and subscription fees for cloud-based software related to vision therapy activities. Revenue for product sales is recognized when the Company’s obligations have been performed. Revenue from subscription services is recognized monthly as the services are performed.
- (j) Warranty provision
A provision for warranty costs is assessed as sales of the Binovi Touch are recorded. In establishing the warranty provision, management estimates the likelihood that products sold will experience warranty claims and the estimated cost to resolve claims received, taking into account the nature of the contract and past and projected experience with the products.
- (k) Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.
Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. The liability method requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted that are expected to be in effect when the underlying items of income or expense are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that substantive enactment occurs.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.
(l) Loss per share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the treasury stock method, under which the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised.
Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Share capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares and share purchase warrants are classified as equity instruments. The Company uses the residual value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and share purchase warrants issued as private placement units. The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and share purchase warrants on a residual value basis, wherein the fair value of the common shares is based on the market trading price on the date the units are issued and the balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Share issue costs are recorded against share proceeds.
(n) Reserves
Reserves consists of the fair value of stock options and warrants granted since inception, less amounts transferred to share capital for exercised stock options and warrants. If granted stock options or warrants vest and then subsequently expire, no reversal of reserves is recognized.
(o) Share-based payments
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and nonmarket vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no trueup for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled, share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained by the Company.
The fair value of the options is measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are satisfied with a corresponding increase in equity. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are considered in making assumptions about the number of awards that are expected to vest. When the options are exercised, any proceeds received are credited to share capital along with the amount reflected in share-based payment reserve.
(p) Government assistance
Government assistance, including investment tax credits, towards current expenses is included in the consolidated statement of operations for the period as a reduction of the expense to which it relates. Government program credits are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with all conditions necessary to receive the credits and collectability is reasonably assured.

- (q) Financial instruments
Financial assets
Recognition and measurement of financial assets
The Company recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Classification of financial assets
The Company classifies financial assets at initial recognition as financial assets: measured at amortized cost, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Amortized cost
A financial asset that meets both of the following conditions is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost.
-
The Company’s business model for such financial assets is to hold the assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
-
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding.
A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method, net of impairment loss, if necessary. The Company’s cash and amounts receivable (except sales tax receivable) are measured at amortized cost.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
A financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized initially at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when incurred. Subsequently, the financial asset is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the reporting period in which it arises. The Company has no financial assets measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
A financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the asset. After initial recognition, the asset is measured at fair value with changes in fair value included as “financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income” in other comprehensive income. The Company does not have any financial assets measured at FVTOCI.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (q) Financial instruments (continued)
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Any interests in transferred financial assets that are created or retained by the Company are recognized as a separate asset or liability. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial liabilities
Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company recognizes financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Classification of financial liabilities
The Company classifies financial liabilities at initial recognition as financial liabilities: measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
A financial liability at amortized cost is initially measured at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. Subsequently, the financial liability is measured at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities, warranty provision, lease obligation, subscription refundable, and unearned revenue are measured at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss is initially measured at fair value with any associated transaction costs being recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when incurred. Subsequently, the financial liability is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the reporting period in which it arises. The Company’s CEBA loans and earn-out obligations are measured at FVTPL.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the financial liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (q) Financial instruments (continued)
Fair value hierarchy
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) 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., derived from prices); and Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at February 28, 2022 and 2021 approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. Lease obligations and CEBA loans are measured as Level 2 financial instruments.
(r) Provisions
Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
(s) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended February 28, 2022, and have not been early adopted in preparing these consolidated financial statements. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

18. Management of Financial Risk
The types of risk exposure and the Company’s methods of managing the risks remain consistent and are as follows:
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and other price risk.
(i) Interest rate risk
The Company is not subject to significant interest rate risk with respect to its financial instruments.
(ii) Currency risk
The Company’s reported earnings include gain/losses on foreign exchange, largely reflecting revaluation of its foreign operations, primarily in the United States. The future foreign exchange gain or loss would change based on the level of foreign operating activities.
As at February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company was exposed to currency risk for its US dollar equivalent of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars as follows:
| Held in US dollars | Held in US dollars | |
|---|---|---|
| (stated in Canadian dollars) | ||
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| $ | $ | |
| Cash | 9,245 | 12,553 |
| Accounts payable | (573,783) | (627,868) |
| Net financial liabilities | (564,538) | (615,315) |
Based upon the above net exposure as at February 28, 2022, a 10% (2021 - 10%) depreciation or appreciation of the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would result in approximately $56,454 (2021 - $61,532) change in the Company’s consolidated net loss and comprehensive loss.
(iii) Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk on its financial instruments.

Binovi Technologies Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
18. Management of Financial Risk (continued)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian and US financial institutions. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on its trade receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due by forecasting cash flows for operations, anticipated investing and financing activities, and through management of its capital structure. All of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 90 days.
The Company has been successful in raising financing in the past; however, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. As at February 28, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,286,391 (2021 – $312,511).
