COMPANY OVERVIEW

Cloud DX is a Health Canada licensed, FDA registered medical device manufacturer and software developer that offers a complete "end to end" virtual healthcare platform called Cloud DX Connected Health. The Company has developed and cleared through regulatory agencies a family of proprietary medical devices, each of which collects multiple vital signs. Cloud DX customers purchase Connected Health to remotely monitor patients with a variety of conditions including serious chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") and congestive heart failure ("CHF"), as well as patients recovering from surgery. Connected Health has been validated for 12 different virtual care use cases. Typical Cloud DX customers include academic medical institutions, large hospitals and provincial health authorities in Canada, and physician practices and hospitals in the United States.

Cloud DX is focused on offering the best possible virtual care experience. By manufacturing proprietary vital sign devices, the Company can constantly improve the patient user experience (UX), making virtual care more engaging for those who need it most. By collecting unique and accurate remote data, clinicians have more information to use in therapeutic decision making, while streamlining workflow with automated monitoring. Using advanced data science techniques, patterns are identified in patient generated data that indicate the probability of poorer health outcomes, enabling rapid intervention and saving lives. By managing the full patient-to-provider experience, costs can be reduced with improved ROI for healthcare payers including Canadian health ministries, US Medicare and private insurance providers.

Principal Products and Services

Cloud DX Connected Health Kits typically include our proprietary Cloud DX Bluetooth pulse oximeter, the Cloud DX wireless weight scale and optionally, a wireless Bluetooth blood pressure monitor, digital thermometer, and digital wireless glucose meter from 3rd party suppliers. These devices, combined with customized tablet computers and the mobile Connected Health app, form the 'patient facing' part of Connected Health. Substitutions to some medical devices, smartphones and tablets (a.k.a., 'bring your own device') can be made should customers so choose. A secure online Clinician Portal allows medical professionals to remotely monitor the health of patients. Clinical support software detects when certain triggers are reached (for example, a drop in oxygen saturation) and generates a notification to providers. Nurses can then contact the patient by secure in

app text messaging and initiate a telemedicine video conference so that they can intervene to improve patient health outcomes, all within the Cloud DX platform. Cloud DX records raw bio signals, vital sign metrics, survey answers, provider notes, images and documents in HIPAA compliant Microsoft Azure datacenters in Canada and the USA. All patient data remains within the borders of its country of origin to comply with privacy regulations. These discrete data points are aggregated into large sets of unique raw data that can be analyzed using machine learning algorithms to detect patterns that may predict future health outcomes, both on a personal level and in larger populations.

Connected Health has been shown to improve patient outcomes for patients with COPD ( "Technology-Enabled Self-Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With or Without Asynchronous Remote Monitoring: Randomized Controlled Trial" , JMIR, July 2020) and patients recovering from surgery ( "Post-discharge after surgery Virtual Care with Remote Automated Monitoring-1 (PVC-RAM-1) technology versus standard care: randomised controlled trial" BJM, Sept 2021). Patients report feeling empowered by knowing their vital sign status, and by having the ability to connect with providers to ask questions. Cloud DX devices and software can detect changes in vital signs and symptoms early, allowing clinicians to intervene quickly and prevent more serious deteriorations that might require hospitalization, or in some cases might be fatal.

Market

Over 90% of American healthcare spending goes to adults with chronic illnesses, with congestive heart failure (CHF - 6.2M adults) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - 16M adults) as the two most prevalent and expensive conditions[1] . WHO mortality and disease burden projections state that COPD will be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030.[2]

For COPD and CHF, patients are evaluated by stage, where stage 3 and 4 of either condition are clear targets for Cloud DX monitoring. These are incurable diseases and leading causes of death. Data from sources including the CDC[3] and the American Lung Foundation[4] show that 7M US adults over 65 have late-stage COPD and 1.8M have an under 5-year mortality rate. For CHF[5] , there are 6.2M adults diagnosed, with 2.7M having <5 years mortality[6] - a total market of 13.2M adults >65 (Medicare beneficiaries) of whom 4.5M are within 5 years of death from these conditions.

Current RPM insurance reimbursement is about $1,000 CAD/year in the US so these complex chronic disease patients represent a $4.5B available market (the sickest patients, who are most in need of monitoring). In the US in 2020, there were more than 335,000 COPD hospitalizations, 925,000 COPD emergency department visits[7] and 12% of COPD patients admitted[8] ended up in the ICU. Average COPD hospitalization cost is $19,000 USD per exacerbation[9] . COPD represents $7.4B in costs to the system, much of which could have been prevented by prescribing RPM, demonstrating the ROI that led to the creation of the RPM CPT codes in the first place.

A report released in 2023 by Definitive Healthcare[10] noted the very fast scale up of RPM reimbursement in the US. Total claims volumes across 10 CPT codes that pay for RPM rose by 1,294% from January 2019 through November 2022. The report shows that in 2022, the code that pays for RPM equipment (CPT 99454) was billed 500K times (ave $65 ea., total $32.5M); the codes that pay the physician to review the data (CPT 99457-99458) were billed 815K times (ave $45 ea., total $36.7M).

accrued and unpaid interest from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023 owed pursuant to the Debentures through the issuance of additional convertible debentures on the same terms. Furthermore, the Company made amendments to 6,016,010 common share purchase warrants issued together with the 10% Unsecured Convertible Debentures pursuant to a warrant indenture among the Company and the Trustee dated October 1, 2021 and a warrant indenture among the Company and the Trustee dated January 27, 2022 that amended the exercise price of the 10% Debenture Warrants from $0.50 to $0.19; and amended the terms of the 10% Debenture Warrants to include an accelerated expiry clause such that the exercise period of the 10% Debenture Warrants will be reduced to 30 days from notice thereof, if, for any ten consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the 10% Debenture Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares listed on the TSXV exceeds the Proposed Exercise Price by 25% or more.

  • On December 29, 2023, the Company announced that, further to the Company's news release dated December 7, 2023, it has closed its previously announced non brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of 1,942 convertible debenture units of the Company (the "Debenture Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,942,000. Each Debenture Unit consists of: (i) one $1,000 18% secured convertible debenture of the Company (the "Convertible Debentures"), and (ii) 10,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). The Convertible Debentures will mature and be repayable on the date that is thirty six (36) months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the holder will be entitled to convert each Convertible Debenture into common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Common Share. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire an additional Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Offering, subject to accelerated expiry provisions following the closing of the Offering. If, at any time, the closing price of the Common Shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than $0.30 per Common Share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may provide written notice (a "Warrant Acceleration Notice") to the holders of the Warrants that the expiry of the Warrants shall be accelerated to a date that is not less than fifteen (15) days from the date of the Warrant Acceleration Notice.

PATENTS: To date in 2023, the Company announced new patents on 2 of its innovations in the field of digital bio signal analysis using machine learning and deep learning algorithms.

Pulsewave PAD 2A Health Monitor

This is the next generation version of Cloud DX's Pulsewave device which will be the first device of its kind to accurately measure respiration rate as well as blood pressure and heart rate. The PAD-2A has entered clinical calibration and validation trials at Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick in Saint John NB, and the Company looks forward to completing the requisite Health Canada and FDA approvals when the trials are complete. The Company invested approximately $3.5M from August 2020 to July 2022 to complete the PAD-2A calibration project with a $1.7M financial co-investment from the Next Generation Manufacturing Supercluster ("NGEN").

This unique device and its associated software platform will replace the original Pulsewave PAD-1A blood pressure monitor and provide advanced spot telemetry including precision clinical blood pressure, cardiac anomalies and respiration rate metrics for use in remote patient monitoring deployments, telemedicine and in-clinic for advanced cardiac analysis based on a single easy reading. These innovations are protected by US patents 11,006,843 and 11,272,859, with additional US, Canadian & international patents pending.

Vitaliti™ continuous vital sign monitor (CVSM)

The Vitaliti™ CVSM platform is Cloud DX's award winning continuous vital sign monitoring product. The next iteration of Vitaliti™ hardware is undergoing a step change towards affordability (previous bill of materials was >$1,000; revised bill of materials is ~$100) and has been selected by the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) at McMaster University as the device for several large studies that will provide necessary data for Health Canada and FDA approvals. According to current timetables, these studies will commence in 2024. Prototype devices will attract a fee for use during the PHRI studies. Moreover, there are several other projects that are funding the Company's efforts to bring Vitaliti to commercialization. Vitaliti is protected by US patents 10,893,837 and 10,022,053, as well as 3 pending US patents.

AcuScreen™ Cough Analysis (CA) platform

AcuScreen™ CA is a mobile application and machine-learning model that can detect the presence of certain respiratory diseases using a patient's cough signature. This remarkable application is currently undergoing clinical testing in Maputo, Mozambique to determine its accuracy in the screening and detection of active tuberculosis (TB). On November 3rd, 2021, the Company announced that preliminary results from those tests had recently been presented at the 52nd Annual Union World Conference on Lung Health. The principal investigator in the study, Dr Celso Khosa of the Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS) in Maputo stated that "data shows that AcuScreen acoustic cough analysis and symptom detection exceeds the World Health Organization requirements for a community-based triage system for tuberculosis". These findings clear the way for the Company to begin discussions with various parties to license AcuScreen for eventual deployment as a primary screening tool for TB in high-burden countries. AcuScreen is protected by US patents 9,526,458 and 10,485,449, under an exclusive, global license to Cloud DX from Speech Technology and Applied Research Corporation of Bedford MA.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares its Annual Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS. However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information to assess its financial performance. These measures, which it believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to evaluate its performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include "EBITDA".

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-IFRS measure of financial performance. The presentation of this non-IFRS financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. Company management defines EBITDA as follows: IFRS Net income (loss) adding back accretion and interest expenses (including amortization of deferred financing fees), income taxes and amortization.

Management believes EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items.

Revenue and Gross Profit

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, overall revenue was higher by $645,882 or 55.4% mainly due to a significant increase in subscription revenue. Subscription revenue rose by $353,837 or 69.0% mainly due to new contracts realizing new sales from Peterborough County, Alberta Health Services, Guelph Paramedic Services and The Ottawa Hospital.

Product sales were higher by $93,952 or 15% period over period as Connected Health Kits were shipped to new customers such as Essex, Oxford County, Brantford Paramedics and Owen Sound Family Health who signed contracts in 2022. Additional sales were realized from existing customers such as Alberta Health Services and Yukon Health & Social Services, as well as new customers such as Simcoe Paramedics and Oneida Paramedic Services.

Professional and other income increased by $198,093 or 446% due to more projects which the Company participated in 2023 compared to $44,372 in 2022. Typically, Professional Services revenue fluctuates from period to period based on the duration of contracts for those services. The bulk of revenue in 2022 came from St Mary's General Hospital, Ottawa Heart and STARs Air Ambulance.

The gross profit for the year ended 2023 has increased from $602,896 to $1,282,680, resulting in an increase in gross margin percentage from 52% (2022) to 71% in 2023.

In addition, The bigger percentage of Product revenue sales in the Revenue mix, which attract a higher margin, combined, attributed to this overall increase of 19.0% in gross margin from 52.0% to 71.0% period over period. Typically, gross margin for Connected Health products and services fluctuates based on the mix of Products (hardware) vs Services (subscriptions and/or Professional Services, higher margin) and the cost the company can obtain the parts that make up product sales recorded in each period.

Operating expenses were lower by $1,304,197 or 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023, largely caused by the Company’s cost cutting around salaries & wages, office and, research & development.

Salaries and wages decreased by $1,208,550 or 19.23% during the year, due to rightsizing of the wage spend in April. Professional fees, paying consultants for support around corporate initiatives, capital raisings and year-end audit, were higher by $151,946 compared to the 2022 financial year.

Sales, General & Administrative costs were marginally lower by $84,881 or 7.8% owing to slight cost decreases connected with the Company’s IT subscriptions to service patient customers, insurance premiums, and general and administrative costs with servicing customers.

Office expenses were down by $90,061 or 12.43% due to the US office rental adjustments resulting from the move to the new office and a rent adjustment for the Canadian office. Research and development costs were $204,934 or 51.5% lower, which was due to the Company incurring less in grant costs – as grant funding was significantly less for the year ended December 31, 2023 at $308,528 ($709,401 in 2022). Amortization and depreciation were lower by 4.2% or $20,805.0 in the current year compared to 2022 because of marginally higher net asset values of the Company’s tangible assets in 2023.

Other expenses increased by 159.8% or $1,872,587 for the year ended 2023. The primary driver to the overall increase was Interest expense, which was $1,772,916 higher at $3,372,536 than in 2022 due to the Company’s increased raises of convertible debt. The Company received marginally less government grants of $453,543 during the 2023 year ($493,962 in 2022).

The Company's Transaction fees and listing expense increased by $72,260 to $91,054 relative to the same period in 2022 ($72,260) due to a higher volume of TSXV exchange private placement and capital raising charges with the various tranches of capital raised in 2023.

Total Assets

As of 2022, total assets decreased by $264,987 or 11.5%. Although current assets increased by $220,853, it was the non-current assets that decreased more significantly by December 31, 2023.

The decrease in non-current assets was caused by further write-downs of $111,973 on the Company's work-in-progress inventory in it's Kitchener location of its LCD and PCBA units. The bulk of this write down are finished goods inventory items, ACER A40 tablets and JPD FR300 thermometers, stored at the Company's Kitchener head office, which have been impaired to their respective net realizable values.

Certain liabilities decreased as of December 31, 2023. Deferred income decreased by $115,211 due to the revenue recognition treatment of current period sales, which couldn't be recognized as income for 2022. Lease liabilities dropped by $502,979 partly due to the reduced lease liability negotiated for the Company's Brooklyn location. On the other side, the overall value increased by $70,884 due to the $235,620 acquisition of the cough analysis patents.

The increase in the current assets as at 2023 was courtesy of the higher sales of $1,811,885 ($1,166,003 in 2022) increasing Trade and other receivables (Note 6) by $133,329 for the current financial year. The increased Cash and cash equivalents amount of $259,893 ($69,536 in 2022) was due to the higher net cashflows from financing of $6,273,876 ($6,159,107 in 2022), which countered the larger cash outflow from operating activities of $6,081,888 ($6,155,092 in 2022).

Total Liabilities

Meanwhile, total liabilities as of 2023, increased by $5,898,368 or 42.3% as compared to 2022-year end. The major drivers were a $865,004 increase in accounts payable, and a significant increase of $6,446,090 on convertible debt that the Company raised over the 2023 financial year.

Certain liabilities decreased as of December 31, 2023. Deferred income decreased by $115,211 due to the revenue recognition treatment of current period sales, which couldn't be recognized as income for 2022. Lease liabilities (Note 12) dropped by $502,979 partly due to the reduced lease liability negotiated for the Company's Brooklyn location.

Lastly, the decreases to the Loans from related parties ($1,151,880 in 2022) to $23,321 in 2023 was caused by these loans converting to equity and convertible debentures in the December 31, 2023 financial year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The table below sets out the Company's cash, restricted cash and working capital as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Current Liabilities 14,788,505 7,677,424
Working Capital $ (13,953,034)$ (7,062,806)

The Company had $60,060 of restricted cash held as collateral against a corporate credit card program. The funds are invested in a cashable Guaranteed Investment Certificate account which matured on May 2, 2023, and rolled over for another 12 months. Working capital represents the excess of current assets over current liabilities. Cash and the working capital deficit remained steady and in fact decreased. The operating cashflow deficit was $6,081,888 and was offset by the positive financing cashflow of $6,273,876. The Company realized an increase of $191,988 in overall cash for the year due to higher cash sales receipts and convertible debentures raised.

The table below sets forth the cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Years Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31,
December December

Investing activities - (13,075)
Financingactivities 6,273,876 6,159,330
Increase(decrease) in cash $ 191,988 $ (8,837)

The Company may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions and adverse results from operations. The Company may face challenges due to such factors as the loss of a major customer contract, entry of new competitors or significant changes in healthcare regulations. Should expected revenue growth not materialize, the Company will be required to seek additional financing through the sale of equity securities and/or through debt.

Cash

The Company's cash used in operating activities during the 2022 year resulted in a December 31, 2023 deficit. This was primarily caused by the Company continuing to fund sales expansion and service customers. The deficit was countered by the Company's ongoing financing activities of $346,495 from its capital raising initiatives in 2023.
