Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

To the Shareholders of BioSyent Inc.:

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for BioSyent Inc. (the “ Company ”), including significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required. The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Board and Audit Committee are also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors. The Board of Directors has approved the information contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

MNP LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access, and meet periodically and separately with the Board, Audit Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

Independent Auditor’s Report

==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

To the Shareholders of BioSyent Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of BioSyent Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the years 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated 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.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

  • Management's Discussion and Analysis

  • The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we 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.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If, based on the work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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 consolidated 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.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 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 Pierrette Dosanjh.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Instruments

All financial assets and financial liabilities, in respect of financial instruments, are recognized on the Company’s statements of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are incremental and are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to

or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

BioSyent

Consolidated Financial Statements – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

6

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

The classification of financial instruments dictates how these assets and liabilities are measured subsequently in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when they are held for trading. A financial instrument is held for trading if it was acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified as FVTPL. Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings for the year. Financial assets in this category include certain short-term investments and derivatives. The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and to improve the returns on its cash assets. These instruments are non-hedge derivative instruments.

Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are financial assets whereby the business model objective is to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent SPPI (Solely Payments of Principal and Interest). Such assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Financial assets in this category include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other receivables, and loans receivable.

Loans receivable consist of full recourse loans issued to employees, as described in Note 12. As the loans are full recourse, they are not recorded as share-based payments, but instead as loans, which fall within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments .

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

The Company recognizes expected credit losses (“ ECLs ”) for trade receivables based on the simplified approach under IFRS 9. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial

reorganization and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-bycase basis to determine whether they need to be written off.

The Company recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on its financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company applies a three-stage approach to measure ECLs. The Company measures an ECL:

  • at an amount equal to 12 months of expected losses for performing loans receivable if the credit risk at the reporting date has not increased significantly since initial recognition (Stage 1);

  • at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses on loans receivable that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination (Stage 2); and

  • at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses which are credit impaired (Stage 3).

The Company considers a significant increase in credit risk to have occurred if contractual payments are more than 30 days past due and considers the loans receivable to be in default if they are 90 days past due. A significant increase in credit risk or default may have also occurred if there are other qualitative factors (including forward looking information) to consider; such as borrower specific information (i.e. change in credit assessment). Such factors include consideration relating to whether the counterparty is experiencing significant financial difficulty, there is a breach of contract, concessions are granted to the counterparty that would not normally be granted, or it is probable the counterparty will enter into bankruptcy or a financial reorganization.

Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities are de-recognized when the obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial liabilities in this category include accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Fair Value Measurement

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. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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

BioSyent

Consolidated Financial Statements – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

7

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s forward foreign exchange contract derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss using Level 2 inputs. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value through profit or loss using Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers between Levels 1 or 2 during the year.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue , The Company applies the following 5-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied based on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

  • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

  • Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point when the Company has satisfied its performance obligations in the contract and control is transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment or delivery of the goods to the customer. Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company ultimately expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. In the Company’s Canadian Pharmaceutical Business, promised consideration from a wholesaler customer can vary due to product returns, discounts, volume rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, or similar items. Revenue is recorded net of these amounts. Where the consideration promised in a contract with a customer includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it ultimately expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer and the amount of revenue recognized is adjusted accordingly.

The Company may also offer other discount programs, including retail coupons and copay discount cards for the purchase of certain of its products by end-consumers. The Company estimates the amount of such discounts based on historical experience and the specific terms of each program. Revenue is recorded net of these amounts. The estimated amounts of such discounts are recorded as these retail coupons and copay discount cards are distributed.

The total of all variable consideration amounted to $1,154,781 in the year ($1,214,057 in 2019).

The Company recognizes a contract liability based on its estimate of the amount of consideration it expects to refund to its customers. This contract liability is updated at the end of each year for any changes in circumstances.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of property and equipment is its purchase price, together with 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. The Company records depreciation of property and equipment at the following rates and methods based on the assets’ estimated useful economic lives:

Furniture and fxtures 20% decliningbalance method
Equipment 20% decliningbalance method
Computer equipment 30% decliningbalance method
Computer software 30% decliningbalance method
Lease right-of-use asset Straight-line over 10-year
term of lease
Leasehold improvements Straight-line over 10-year
term of lease

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at financial institutions and highly liquid deposits with the ability to be converted into cash within 90 days or less of their acquisition date.

Short term investments are comprised of deposits with Chartered Canadian banks with original maturities of more than 90 days. These investments are held in Canadian dollars or in foreign currencies and are interest bearing.

Inventory

Inventory is measured on a first-in, first-out basis at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with definite useful lives consist of:

  • new product dossier and filing costs, which represent professional, consulting, and regulatory fees incurred in obtaining regulatory approvals of products for marketing and manufacturing purposes;

  • product licenses and rights, which represent contractual milestone payments and professional fees incurred in acquiring product licenses and distribution rights;

  • new product development, which represents expenditure on materials and services in the development of new products;

  • trademarks and patents, which represent legal and application fees incurred in registering trademarks and patents in various jurisdictions; and

BioSyent

Consolidated Financial Statements – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

8

  • trade certifications, which represent legal and registration fees incurred in obtaining international trade certifications of products.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization commences when the intangible asset is available for use. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a definite useful life are reviewed at least annually at the end of each financial reporting year. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (see Note 12 ). New product dossier and filing costs are amortized over the estimated economic lives of the underlying products commencing upon their availability for use. Product licenses and rights are amortized over the expected useful life. New product development costs are amortized over the estimated economic useful life of the product commencing upon its availability for use. Trademarks and patents are amortized over the period covered by the registration period, ranging between 10 and 15 years, unless the economic life is shorter.

Development Costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are also expensed unless the Company can demonstrate the following:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

variability in cash flows, as well as other factors, are considered when making assumptions with regard to future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. A change in any of the significant assumptions or estimates used to evaluate non-financial assets could result in a material change to the results of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Items included in the financial records of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in net income.

Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than Canadian dollars are translated at the year-end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are net investments in a foreign operation are included in cumulative translation adjustment account, as part of other comprehensive income.

  • its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of resources to complete the development of the asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at the end of each annual reporting period for events or circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In such cases where an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine whether there is an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is first tested on an individual basis.

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available market data less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. These calculations require the use of estimates and forecasts of future cash flows. Qualitative factors, including market presence and trends, strength of customer relationships, strength of local management, strength of debt and capital markets, and degree of

Taxation

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current Tax:

Current tax expense is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the year. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition

BioSyent

Consolidated Financial Statements – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

9

of goodwill and temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries that are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Share-Based Payments

The Company has equity-settled share-based payment plans, including a Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan, an Incentive Stock Option Plan, and an Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which are described in Note 17 . The Company accounts for share-based payments under these plans in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based payment .

RSU Plan

For RSUs granted to employees and directors, the Company recognizes an expense over the vesting period of the RSUs equal to the fair value at the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange and an estimate of the number of RSUs expected to vest.

The Company classifies outstanding RSUs as equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32, Financial instruments: presentation. Over the vesting period of RSUs, as the Company recognizes an expense, it also recognizes a corresponding increase in contributed surplus for the fair value of such RSUs.

RSUs are settled with the issuance to RSU holders of common shares of the Company, either newly issued or purchased by the Company in the open market. Common shares purchased in the open market by the Company for future RSU settlements are held in an RSU Trust until the time of settlement when they are released to RSU holders. These common shares held in the RSU Trust are classified as equity and accounted for as Treasury Shares in accordance with IAS 32 and are measured at the price paid in the open market. Upon settlement of the RSUs and the release of the common shares to RSU holders, these common shares are reclassified to share capital.

ESPP

Any Company matching of employee contributions to the ESPP is accounted for as an expense at the time of the cash contribution.

Repurchase of Shares under Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) Repurchases by the Company of its own common shares under a NCIB are accounted for in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation . Upon reacquiring shares under a NCIB, the Company deducts from equity the purchase price of these shares and any costs to acquire such shares. Any such shares held by the Company are considered treasury shares until they are cancelled.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income after taxes by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share information is calculated assuming the deemed exercise of all in-the-money stock options and that all deemed proceeds to the Company are used to repurchase the Company’s stock at the average market price during the year. No adjustment to diluted earnings per share is made if the result of this calculation is antidilutive.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases. All contracts that meet the definition of a lease are recorded in the statement of financial position with a “right of use” asset and a corresponding liability. The asset is accounted for as property, plant and equipment and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. The liability is unwound using the interest rate inherent in the lease. The Company has recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in respect of its lease for head office space (see Notes 11 and 16 ). The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of 12 months or less and for leases of low-value assets.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Effective

The Company has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Incentive Stock Option Plan

Compensation costs attributable to all stock options granted to employees and directors are measured at fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. For options with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period.

Any consideration paid by employees upon the exercise of any stock options increases share capital. The Company does not repurchase stock options from option holders.

Options granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received or to be received.

4. Use of Estimates and Accounting Judgments by Management

The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments, estimates and assumptions using historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Judgments

a. Recoverability of asset carrying values

The Company assesses its equipment and intangible assets for impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values may not be recoverable at each statement of financial position date. Such indicators include changes in the Company’s business plans, changes in the market and evidence of physical damage.

Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management’s judgment on highly uncertain matters such as future selling and purchasing prices, the effects of inflation on operating expenses, discount rates, and economics of different pharmaceutical or medical products.

b. Impairment of trade and other receivables

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and grants credit based on a review of historical collection experience, current aging status, financial condition of the customer, and anticipated industry conditions. Customer payments are regularly monitored and ECLs are established in accordance with IFRS 9.

c. Income taxes

The Company is subject to income tax assessment in multiple jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken in 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 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.

The Company computes an income tax provision in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Actual amounts of income tax expense only become final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occur subsequent to the issuance of these Financial Statements. Additionally, estimating income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income before such deductions expire. The assessment is based upon existing tax laws

and estimates of future taxable income. To the extent estimates differ from the final tax return, earnings would be affected in a subsequent period.

Estimates

The most significant estimates made by management include the following:

a. Depreciation

Depreciation of the Company’s equipment involves estimates of future useful lives and residual values. These estimates may change as more experience is obtained or as general market conditions change, thereby impacting the value of the Company’s equipment.

b. Amortization of intangible assets

The amortization of the Company’s intangible assets involves estimates of their useful lives. Such estimates may change as more experience is obtained or as general market conditions change, thereby impacting the value of the Company’s intangible assets.

c. Share-based payments

Grants of RSUs and stock options are measured at their fair value on the grant date.

Management estimates the fair value of RSUs by reference to the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange at the grant date. Management uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options determined at the grant date for options granted to employees and directors. Significant assumptions affecting the valuation of options include the term allowed for option exercise, a volatility factor relating to the Company’s historical share price, dividend yield, forfeiture rate and risk-free interest rate.

The estimated forfeiture rate also affects the valuation of RSUs.

d. Inventory

Management has estimated the value of inventory based upon its assessment of the net realizable value. All slow-moving merchandise has been provided for by management.

e. Determination of transaction price

As a result of the existence of elements of variable consideration in the Company’s contracts with customers arising from returns, discounts, rebates, retail coupons, copay discount cards, and other price incentives, the Company is required to estimate the amount of variable consideration from the customer to which it ultimately expects to be entitled and to adjust the transaction price and amount of revenue recognized accordingly.

The Company estimates the extent of future product returns, retail coupon and copay discount card redemptions, discounts and volume rebates to be awarded to customers based on historical, current and forecast information available, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

f. Determination of incremental borrowing rate

BioSyent

Consolidated Financial Statements – For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

11

When the Company enters into leases as lessee and where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate in order to measure its lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-to-use asset in a similar economic environment. In determining its incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers the term of the lease, the nature of the leased asset, and its level of indebtedness with reference to market risk-free interest rates.

g. Determination of lease term

When the Company enters into leases as lessee, it determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it reasonably expects to exercise such option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if it reasonably expects not to exercise such option. In assessing whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, the Company considers: the contractual terms and conditions for the optional periods compared with market rates; whether any significant leasehold improvements have been undertaken; the costs of terminating the lease; the importance of the underlying asset to the Company’s operations; and any conditionality associated with exercising the option (see Note 16 ).

5. COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 (Coronavirus) as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and is likely to continue to impact the Company’s operations in the following key areas:

a. Workforce:

The Company will continue to follow the recommendations of public health and government authorities and to take all necessary precautions, including remote work arrangements, the ongoing practice of physical distancing, making personal protective equipment available to employees, and ensuring employees’ understanding of good hygiene practices and infection risks, in order to protect the health and safety of its workforce, both in its head office and in the field.

b. Access to Healthcare Professionals:

COVID-19 restrictions have affected the ability of the Company’s field salesforce to access healthcare professionals in the community and in hospitals for the purposes of product detailing. While the extent and duration of such access restrictions varies by region in Canada, such restrictions may have an impact on the Company’s Canadian pharmaceutical sales during the time they are in place.

c. Demand for Products:

To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic affects patient volumes (both in community clinics and in hospitals) and the nature of procedures performed in Canadian hospitals, this will affect the consumption of the Company’s urgent care products as well as its hospital products used in elective procedures.

Additionally, to the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic and safety restrictions affect consumer buying behaviour, this will affect demand for the Company’s pharmaceutical products in the community. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on consumer demand for the Company’s products in the short-term and longterm is uncertain.

Finally, given the global scale of COVID-19, demand for the Company’s products in international markets may also be affected, depending on the extent of local infection rates, the measures implemented by local governments in response, and the overall impact of the pandemic on business activity in these international markets.

d. Supply Chain:

The Company sources its products globally. Given the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and varying localized impacts, this could result in interruptions to the Company’s supply chains, including the manufacturing, transportation, and delivery of products to customers.

10. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Estimation of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, derivative assets/liabilities, trade and other receivables, loans receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values.

Risks

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk) and liquidity risk. The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management is carried out under the policies described below. Management is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated with the approved policies.

¾ Foreign Exchange Instruments:

The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange options and forward contracts with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings to manage its foreign exchange risk on contracts denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros. Such instruments are classified as derivative financial instruments and measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Options:

As at December 31, 2020, the Company entered into foreign exchange options to purchase up to a total of USD 900,000 and USD 1,350,000 (December 31, 2019 – USD 2,550,000 and USD 3,825,000) at an exchange rate expressed in CAD per USD of 1.3100 which will be settled on various dates from January 2021 to June 2021. The Company’s right to buy USD 900,000 on the respective settlement dates is subject to the spot exchange rate on the settlement dates being below a rate of 1.3900 CAD per USD. The Company’s obligation to buy USD 1,350,000 on the respective settlement dates is subject to the spot exchange rate on the settlement dates being below a rate of 1.2775 CAD per USD.

Forward Contracts:

As at December 31, 2020, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to purchase a total of USD 650,000 (December 31, 2019 – USD Nil) at exchange rates expressed in CAD per USD ranging from 1.3084 to 1.3215 which will be settled on various dates from April 2021 to October 2021.

As at December 31, 2020, the Company also entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to purchase a total of EUR 450,000 (December 31, 2019 – EUR Nil) at exchange rates expressed in CAD per EUR ranging from 1.5532 to 1.5578 which will be settled on various dates from January 2021 to March 2021.

The fair value of foreign exchange instruments is estimated based on quoted values from financial institutions. The Company’s foreign exchange instruments resulted in a derivative liability of $78,608 as at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $43,861).

The following table illustrates the Company’s investment in foreign exchange instruments that are measured at fair value through profit and loss (“ FVTPL ”):

¾ Dual Currency Deposits:

The Company also invests in dual currency deposits (“ DCD ”). A DCD is a CAD or foreign currency denominated transaction that provides an enhanced guaranteed interest payment at maturity. However, the original denominated currency is converted to another specified currency at a specified exchange rate depending

on whether the spot rate on the maturity date is above or below a specified fixed exchange rate. The fair value of DCDs is estimated based on quoted values from financial institutions.

The following table illustrates the Company’s investment in DCDs measured at fair value through profit and loss:

The fair value of dual currency deposits is estimated based on quoted values from financial institutions.

¾ Foreign Exchange Risk:

The Company currently earns revenue in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars and Euros and incurs costs in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars and Euros. Management monitors the foreign currency net liability position on an ongoing basis during the year and adjusts the total net monetary liability balance accordingly. When it is appropriate to de-risk future foreign exchange transactions, the Company uses foreign exchange options, forward contracts, and DCDs to manage foreign exchange transaction exposure.

At December 31, 2020, if the Euro had been stronger or weaker by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, comprehensive income would have been $25,877 higher or lower on an after-tax basis, respectively (December 31, 2019 - $63,134 higher or lower, respectively).

¾ Interest Rate Risk:

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates. Some of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as at the date of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are invested in redeemable guaranteed investment certificates (each, a “GIC”), which earn interest at fixed rates during their tenure. The Company’s short-term investments consist of non-redeemable GICs which also earn interest at fixed rates during their tenure. These GICs all have terms of one year or less.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. Fluctuations in market rates of interest when these GICs are renewed may have an impact on the Company’s Finance Income for the period.

¾ Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade and other receivables, and loans receivable. The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposure. As the Company invests in GICs with Canadian Chartered Banks, its credit risk on this account is negligible. The Company’s loans receivable ( see Note 13 ) are full recourse and secured by a pledge of common shares of the Company purchased by the Borrowers, who are key management personnel. Based on these factors, the Company considers the credit risk associated with these loans receivable to be low. There are no factors at the end of the period to indicate a significant increase in credit risk has occurred and there are no defaults on the loans receivable.

The majority of the Company’s current customers are corporations with whom the Company has transacted for several years. In assessing the credit risk of its trade accounts receivable, the Company considers historical default rates and payment patterns, the nature of its customer base, and forward-looking information including any anticipated changes to its customer base, credit terms, and pricing.

As of December 31, 2020, one customer represents 43% of trade receivables (December 31, 2019 - 19%) while another customer represents 19% of trade receivables (December 31, 2019 - 31%), a third customer represents 15% of trade receivables (December 31, 2019 - 18%), and a fourth customer represents 4% of trade receivables (December 31, 2019 – 13%). There have been no past credit losses from these four customers.

The Company’s expected credit loss of $66,710 (December 31, 2019 - $35,411) is related to trade receivables from Canadian pharmaceutical wholesale customers for which collection was uncertain.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are maintained with Canadian financial institutions and the wholly owned subsidiaries of these financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

¾ Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures. All contractual maturities of accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within one year. The Company has no other financial liabilities not carried at fair value.

The Company generates sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its operations and fulfill its obligations as they become due. The Company has credit facilities available with Royal Bank of Canada totalling $3,090,000, including a revolving demand credit facility of $1,500,000 which it has not drawn down as at the date hereof, a foreign exchange facility of $1,500,000, and credit card facilities totalling $90,000. The Company has available additional foreign exchange facilities of $2,500,000 with other Canadian financial institutions.

There were no changes to the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk, credit risk, or interest rate risk or to its approach to managing these risks during the year ended December 31, 2020.

25. Taxes

The Company computes an income tax provision in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Actual amounts of income tax expense only become final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occur subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements.

Additionally, estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income.

The assessment is based upon existing tax laws and estimates of future taxable income. To the extent estimates differ from the final tax return, earnings would be affected in a subsequent period. The operations are subject to income tax rates of 26.5% (2019 – 26.5%) in the Canadian jurisdiction, 21.0% (2019 – 21.0%) in the U.S. jurisdiction, and 2.5% (2019 – 2.5%) in the Barbados jurisdiction.
