Description of Business

Imagine Health Centres (“Imagine Health”)

The Healthcare Vertical includes Imagine Health Centres, a multidisciplinary healthcare facility with locations currently in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta. Imagine Health Centres aim to converge to offer a seamless, integrated healthcare model.

Operational Details

Imagine Health Centres offer an extensive range of services, particularly focusing on their three primary lines: Medical, Pharmacy, and Physiotherapy. Their wide spectrum of services comprises Primary Care, Emergency Care, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Cosmetic Services, Allergy Consultations, and Virtual Consults, provided by both employed healthcare professionals and independent consultants. Imagine Health does not own the locations of its medical clinics. Instead, the Company leases its clinic spaces. Imagine Health holds ownership of the pharmacies. However, the operations and management of these pharmacies are entrusted to and executed by licensed pharmacists in adherence to regulatory standards and best practices.

For the operation of our various services, the following licensing structures are in place:

  • Medical Clinic:
  • Physicians must be registered and licensed with the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).
  • Pharmacy:
  • Pharmacists must be registered and licensed through the Alberta College of Pharmacy (ACP).
  • Pharmacy License: The pharmacy itself also has a license, in order to operate, that is under the name of a Imagine Health pharmacist.
  • Physiotherapy:
  • Physiotherapists need to be registered and licensed with the Physiotherapy Alberta College + Association.

Imagine Health primarily derives its revenue through the following channels:

  • Physician Consultations: Revenue is primarily generated when physicians consult with patients on a fee-for-service basis. The fees associated with these consultations are typically billable to entities such as Alberta Health, Workers Compensation Board, and Occupational Injury Service. Depending on the nature of the consultation and the coverage of the patient, either the patient directly pays for these services or the cost is covered by Alberta Health or private insurance.
  • Revenue Sharing: Medical professionals charge a fee for the services they render. This fee is then shared between the professional and Imagine Health based on pre-agreed terms.
  • Pharmacy Operations: On the pharmacy side of the business, revenue is generated from the sales of prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) products. Moreover, licensed pharmacists have the capability to bill for additional services such as vaccinations and consultative sessions.

Imagine Health receives payments through various channels, including directly from Alberta’s health care insurance plan, private insurance providers, and direct payments from clients.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended December 31, 2024

(Canadian dollars, except share and unit information)

The primary revenue sources for Imagine Health Centres are derived from patient consultations in the medical clinic, pharmacy prescription and OTC sales, and physiotherapy services.

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company decided to focus on the medical clinic, and discontinue the pharmacy operations.

Strategic Direction

The Company envisions unveiling a fully integrated healthcare model. This model intends to combine the in-person consultations facilitated by Imagine Health Centres with the Company’s AI and Medi-Call's telehealth services.

Risk Factors

Datametrex’s Healthcare division faces several risk factors including ongoing regulatory shifts in telehealth governance as laws catch up to the technology. Expansion into new provinces also runs risks, as new levels of healthcare compliance have to be factored into the business’ expansion plans.

Datametrex’s Healthcare division is also subject to all risk factors common to the healthcare industry such as federal and provincial laws and regulations, data privacy policies, malpractice, healthcare incidents at physical clinics, and escalating competition in both telehealth and conventional healthcare sectors. Additionally, the international student flows for Medi-Call may be subject to changing immigration policies in Canada and abroad.

The physicians and nurses associated with these entities have their own individual insurance coverages. They are licensed and regulated by their respective colleges – the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) for those based in Alberta and the College of Physicians & Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) for those in British Columbia.

Upcoming Developments

Imagine Health Centres is set to progressively embed AI and the Company’s Medi-Call platform into its offerings, providing patients with a merged virtual and tangible healthcare experience. While a potential move into Ontario is under consideration, a definitive timeline is yet to be set.

Summary of Recent Developments

Imagine Health

Imagine Health is currently in the final stages of opening a third clinic in Vancouver, while management reviews the possibility of opening a fourth clinic in Ontario.

To further solidify its position as a leading provider of innovative healthcare solutions, the Company will be incorporating a Wellness Centre into its two (2) existing clinics which further expands services that offer physiotherapy, IV Vitamin Therapy treatment, acupuncture, and much more.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are effective measures for analyzing the performance of the Company. The term “EBITDA” refers to earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before deducting interest and accretion, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, acquisition related costs, and share based compensation. “EBITDA”, “EBITDA per share”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, and “Adjusted EBITDA per share” are non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful additional information to management, the Board and investors as it provides an indication of the operational results generated by its business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset depreciation and amortization and it excludes items that could affect the comparability of our operational results and could potentially alter the trends analysis in business performance. Excluding these items does not necessarily imply they are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

(Canadian dollars, except share and unit information)

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by some investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing a company. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating earnings or net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not take into account the impact of working capital changes, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table reconciles net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

As part of the Company's growth strategy, management made a strategic decision to reinvest the profits made in the acquisition of Imagine Health Centres. This acquisition and the Company exercising its share buyback program have contributed to a decrease in cash. The Company believes that the acquisition of Imagine Health Centres, will enhance its position in the market and drive future growth and profits.

The Company notes that the recent loss also includes the expenses related to the amortization and depreciation of various intangible assets. Despite the expected end of the COVID-19 pandemic, which fueled significant profits for the Company, management remains committed to a long-term strategy of prioritizing its core AI technology and integrating it to its healthcare businesses to drive sustained growth and profitability.

In the past, since Q2-2021, the Company reported approximately $10 million revenue each quarter, with some fluctuations depending on seasonality of travelling or filming. Starting Q4-2022, the Company reported a sharp drop in revenue which is due to the fact that COVID-19 testing is no longer required for travels and the expectation that COVID-19 pandemic is coming to an end. This trend continued into Q1-2023 in which the Company reported revenue of $3.8 million which is due to a strong revenue added by Nexalogy on reaching certain milestones with the Government of Canada. The Company's revenue stream related to COVID-19 businesses have ended during the first half of 2023 and Q2-2023 was the final quarter that the Company reported any such revenue.

Net income (loss) over the past 8 quarters were fluctuating significantly which is due to the timing of recognition of expense items, including share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on intangible assets, losses from business acquisitions, and unrealized losses on marketable securities. As a result, the Company experienced significant losses during Q4 2022. The net losses for Q1-2023 all the way up to Q5-2024 are due to the start-up costs associated with the new businesses acquired.

The net income reported for Q3-2025 is mainly due to the gain on settlement of liabilities of $2,173,333 resulting in settlement of various loans and legal provisions.

A former employee of the Company filed a claim for wrongful dismissal seeking damages aggregating $135,000. The Company filed a defence and counterclaim denying the claim and counterclaiming for certain losses incurred by the Company. The Company intends to defend the claim vigorously and the outcome of the claim cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Risk Factors

The Company is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are common to other companies engaged in the same or similar business. Material risks that could significantly affect the financial condition, operating results or business of the Company are listed below:

Risks Associated with the Company’s Business

Risks Associated with the Company’s Limited Operating History and Evolving Business Model

The Company has a limited operating history, especially Imagine Health, and therefore is exposed to the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of their development. The Company’s business model is continuously evolving to adapt to the new and rapidly evolving industries that the Company operates. There are no assurances that the Company’s products will gain market acceptance. To date, the Company has not earned operating profits and significant further operating losses are possible. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability.


Datametrex AI Limited

Management's Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended December 31, 2024

(Canadian dollars, except share and unit information)

Market Acceptance

The success of the Company's products and any new services the Company may launch is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain a critical mass of customers in potentially diverse geographic locations. The sales cycle for a new merchant can be lengthy. Customers may not be willing to invest the time and resources necessary to achieve the necessary education and integration required to successfully deploy the Company's technology.

Key Management Personnel

The Company depends on the services of its key technical, management, sales and marketing personnel. The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company's success is also highly dependent on its continuing ability to identify, hire, train, motivate and retain highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel can be intense, and the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to attract, engage, hire or retain technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel in the future with the right qualifications, at the times needed, and/or at competitive costs. The Company's inability to attract and retain the necessary management, technical, sales and marketing personnel may adversely affect its future growth and profitability.

Ability to Manage Growth

The Company continuously seeks opportunities to grow its current business by pursuing existing and potential market opportunities, including acquisitions. Such growth may place significant demands on existing management and operational resources. It also creates the need for proper onboarding procedures to ensure smooth integration of the acquired business with existing business and products. In order to manage expected growth effectively, the Company must concurrently develop more sophisticated operational systems, procedures and controls. If the Company fails to develop these systems, procedures or controls on a timely basis, its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially affected in an adverse manner.

Technology and Development Risk

The Company's approach utilizes technology principally architected and developed by the Company. The Company has also contracted with or identified a number of key suppliers for the various components that comprise the Company's solutions. There can be no assurances that the Company will meet its targeted development or integration timelines such that it will be able to offer solutions at competitive pricing, or that the Company can continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of its technology and enable the solutions to scale at a reasonable cost. In addition, there is a risk that third parties may have applied for or been granted patents for certain processes or technology which the Company has already deployed or intends to deploy, in which case the Company may incur additional costs or be prohibited from using or implementing certain product features or processes in one or more countries. The Company's solutions incorporate complex technology and software. Accordingly, they may contain errors, or "bugs", that could be detected at any point. Such errors could materially and adversely affect the Company's reputation, resulting in claims and/or significant costs to the Company, and/or cause consumers, merchants, licensees and other parties to abandon the Company's solutions and impair the Company's ability to market and sell solutions and services in the future. The costs incurred in correcting any errors and satisfying any such claims may be substantial and could adversely affect the Company's operating margins. While the Company plans to continually test its solutions for errors and work with customers and merchants through its maintenance support services to identify and correct bugs, errors may be found in the future.

Protection of Intellectual Property

The Company depends on its ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of its technology and business methods. It seeks to protect its software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright law, as well as with confidentiality provisions in contracts with its customers, suppliers, contractors and employees, all of which afford limited protection. It is also seeking to protect its proprietary technology and business methods under patent laws in selected jurisdictions. The Company intends to apply for several trademark registrations.

Despite the measures the Company has taken to protect its intellectual property, there can be no assurance that these steps will be adequate, that the Company will be able to secure patents for all its inventions or trademark registrations for or the rights to use its trademarks, respectively, in Canada, the U.S. or other countries, that third parties will not breach the confidentiality provisions in the Company’s contracts or infringe or misappropriate its copyrights, patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights, or that third parties have not already obtained prior rights in one or more jurisdictions to the same or similar trademarks to those of the Company or any other intellectual property sought to be protected by the Company.

Global Financial Developments

Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect the Company's finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against. Financial developments seemingly unrelated to the Company or to its industry may adversely affect the Company over the course of time. For example, material increases in any applicable interest rate benchmarks may increase the debt payment costs for any credit facilities. Credit contraction in financial markets may hurt its ability to access credit in the event that the Company identifies an acquisition opportunity or requires significant access to credit for other reasons. A reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may adversely affect business. Any of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company business, operating results, and financial condition.

Compliance with Complex Domestic and Foreign Laws

The Company is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in Canada and South Korea that involve matters central to its business, including user privacy, data protection, intellectual property, distribution, contracts and other communications, consumer protection, and taxation. Korean laws and regulations may be more restrictive than those in Canada. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry that the Company operates in. Existing and proposed laws and regulations can be and may be costly to comply with and can delay or impede the development of new products, result in negative publicity, increased operating costs, additional time and attention required from management, and subject the Company to claims or other remedies, including fines or demands that the Company modify or cease existing business practices.

The Company may in the future enter into agreements or conduct activities outside of Canada and South Korea, which expansion may present additional complexities in terms of the Company’s legal compliance, and adversely affect the results of operations and/or financial condition of the Company.

Litigation

Within the Company’s normal course of operation, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings. Such matter can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause the Company to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. In particular, the Company may face claims relating to the Company’s products as the nature of the Company’s business exposes it to claims related to intellectual property rights and rights of privacy.

Risks Associated with Additional Financing

The Company may need to raise additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient capital on acceptable terms, if at all. If it is unable to raise capital, it may not be able to execute its business plan or respond to competitive pressures. If the Company is able to raise additional capital, it may be on terms and conditions which result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

Currency Risk

While the Company is headquartered in Canada and its shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, certain operations may be conducted in Asia, the United States and Europe. As such, the Company's results of operations are subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect the financial position and operating results of the Company.

Disruption of its Information Technology Systems

The Company relies on information technology in virtually all aspects of its business. A significant disruption or failure of its information technology systems could result in service interruptions, security violations, regulatory compliance failures, an inability to protect information and assets against intruders, and other operational difficulties. Attacks perpetrated against its information systems could result in loss of assets and critical information and exposes it to remediation costs and reputational damage. A significant disruption or cyber intrusion could lead to misappropriation of assets or data corruption and could adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Additionally, if the Company is unable to acquire or implement new technology, it may suffer a competitive disadvantage, which could also have an adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Cyber-attacks could further adversely affect the Company's ability to operate information technology and business systems or compromise confidential customer and employee information.
