Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholders of Devonian Health Group Inc.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Devonian Health Group Inc. and its subsidiary (together, the Company) as at July 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS).
What we have audited
The Company’s consolidated financial statements comprise:
-
the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2021 and 2020;
-
the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the years then ended;
-
the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended;
-
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and
-
the notes to consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes events or conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, 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.
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 IFRS, 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.
==> picture [77 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
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.
==> picture [77 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Sébastien Bellemare.

Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
1 Statutes of incorporation and nature of activities
Devonian Health Group Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) on March 27, 2015. On May 12, 2017, the Company was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA).
Its main activity is the development of botanical drugs. It is also involved in the development of value-added products for dermo-cosmetics and the distribution of pharmaceutical products through its subsidiary. It acquires drug and health product licenses. The Company has established a research effort focused towards the anticipation of new solutions in the medical sector as well as in the cosmetic sector. The Company’s head office is located at 360 Rue des Entrepreneurs, Montmagny, Québec.
2 Material uncertainty related to going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that assets will be realized, and liabilities discharged in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or on the discharge or classification of liabilities, should the Company be unable to continue its business in the normal course. It is committed to the development of botanical drugs and will have to obtain necessary funding to continue its operations until the commercialization phase of its products. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and anticipates that losses will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company’s liquidities are limited considering its ongoing projects. Consequently, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends also on its ability to source from its pharmaceutical suppliers, its ability to distribute its products while generating positive cash flows and to obtain, in a timely matter, further financing to complete research and development projects, and to market its developed products, as to which no assurance can be given.
Further financing will continue to be required since it is impossible to estimate when the Company will achieve profitability. Management continues to negotiate further financing and different agreements that could create positive cash flows (note 27). The success of these negotiations is contingent on many factors outside the Company’s control and its ability to successfully complete such financings and agreements is tinged with material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

3 Significant accounting policies
Declaration of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 23, 2021.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its subsidiary, Altius Healthcare Inc. Intercompany balances, income, expenses and cash flows are fully eliminated upon consolidation. When necessary, adjustments are made to the subsidiary’s financial statements to align its accounting policies with those of the Company.
Distribution revenue recognition
Revenues from the distribution of pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products are recognized when the terms of a contract with a client are fulfilled, i.e. when:
-
the control of the product has been transferred to the client; and
-
the product is received by the client or the transfer to the client of the ownership title occurs upon shipment.
After delivery, the client assumes obsolescence and loss risks with respect to such goods. Revenues are recognized according to the prices set in the contacts, less estimated sales rebates or returns.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to use judgment and make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the carrying value of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2)
Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected by these revisions.
Information relating to critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
- Impairment of intangible assets
Assessment of impairment of intangible assets at the end of each reporting period requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates when addressing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test on the Company’s intangible assets. The assessment of fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions for forecasted revenues, discount rates and operating costs. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value. Changes in any of the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of the intangible assets measured at cost, could impact the impairment analysis.
- Payables to wholesalers
Management uses judgment in estimating provisions for sale deductions such as cash discounts, allowances, returns, rebates, chargebacks and distribution fees.
- Fair value of embedded derivative
The convertible debentures issued by the Company include a conversion option, which is considered as a Level 3 financial instrument. The derivative is measured at fair value through profit and loss, and its fair value must be measured at each reporting period, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. A derivative valuation model is used, and includes management’s assumptions, to estimate the fair value. Detailed assumptions used in the model to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative as of July 31, 2021 are provided in note 12.
-
Economic conditions and uncertainties
In early 2020, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was confirmed in multiple countries throughout the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including the implementation of travel bans, quarantine periods and social distancing.
As a result, current global economic conditions are highly volatile. The magnitude, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic are hard to predict and could affect the significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
Currency translation
Transactions concluded in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the statement of financial position, while other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of transactions. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate, except for amortization which is translated at the historical exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses resulting from this translation are recognized in net loss.
Income taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on deductible or taxable temporary differences between the carrying value and tax values of assets and liabilities using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reversed.
The Company establishes a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on available information, it is likely that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Government subsidy
On March 27, 2020, the Canadian government announced the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program, in effect from March 15 to June 30, 2021, and extended thereafter, enabling Canadian businesses to meet the challenges of the pandemic. Certain eligibility criteria must be met in order to be eligible for the CEWS. The Company can only recognize the amounts of subsidy when collection is reasonably assured. The Company opted to recognize the government subsidy as a reduction of the expenses to which it relates. The Company recognized a subsidy of $127,210 in its consolidated results for the year ended July 31, 2021 (2020 – $58,544).
Financial instruments
Classification and measurement
Classification and measurement of financial assets include the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through net income (FVNI) and fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model for which a financial asset is managed and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified and measured in two categories: amortized cost and fair value through net income.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost, i.e. cash and accounts receivable, are measured at fair value at the date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of impairment losses.
(4)
Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, i.e. accounts payable, long-term debt and convertible debentures (debt host), are initially measured at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value
The fair value of a financial instrument generally corresponds to the consideration for which the instrument would be exchanged in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. This measurement is carried out at a definite time and could be modified over the future presentation periods due to market conditions and other factors.
Fair value is established using the quoted prices of the most advantageous active market for that instrument to which the Company has an immediate access. If there is no active market, fair value is established on internal or external valuation methods, such as discounted cash flow models. The fair value established using these valuation models requires the use of assumptions in regard to the amount and timing of the estimated future cash flows, as well as for many other variables. To determine these assumptions, readily observable market data are used when available. Otherwise, the Company uses the best possible estimates. Since they are based on estimates, fair values may not be realized in the event of an actual sale or immediate settlement of these instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets recognized at amortized cost are subject to an impairment test at each reporting date. The Company estimates the expected credit losses based on the history of its credit losses and the credit risk assessment of its customers, and, if applicable, the net change in expected credit losses on accounts receivable is recognized in net loss.
The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. The Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recovery and its judgment in estimating future cash flows.
The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The expected loss rates are based on the Company’s ‐ historical credit losses experienced over the three year period prior to the period-end. The historical loss rates ‐ are then adjusted for current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the Company’s customers. The Company assumes that there is no significant increase in credit risk for instruments that have a low credit risk.

Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
Research and development expenses and tax credits
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. However, development expenses are deferred when they meet the accepted criteria for deferral up to the amount that is reasonably certain to be recovered. As at July 31, 2021 and 2020, no development costs were deferred.
Tax credits for research and development are recognized in loss or deferred as a reduction of related expenses. Tax credits are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has met the requirements and that the credits will be received.
Inventory
Inventories of raw materials and finished products are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the cost being determined using the first in, first out method.
The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less variable selling expenses that apply.
Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the issuance of shares are deferred as an asset until the issuance of the shares. At issuance, these costs are recorded as a reduction of share capital. In case of abandonment, these costs are recognized in net loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and, subsequently, at cost less amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization is based on the estimated useful life of each component of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method and the following periods:
| Building | |
|---|---|
| Structure and shell | 40 years |

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the commencement date. Each lease payment is allocated between a reduction of the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recognized in “Financial expenses” in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The lease liability is measured at the value of lease payments to be made, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the period for which the lessee has the right to use the underlying asset.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
Costs associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are included in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, comprising intellectual property, website development costs and patents related to cosmeceuticals are recorded at cost and, subsequently, at cost less amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired in the business combination, being licenses, trademarks and distribution rights, are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, they are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, using the same method used for intangible assets acquired separately.
Amortization is based on the estimated useful life using the straight-line method and the following periods:
| Patents | 2 | to | 13 | years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website | 4 | years | ||
| Licenses, trademarks and distribution rights | 4 | to | 12 | years |
No amortization for the intellectual property has been recognized since it is still under development. The amortization method and estimated useful life will have to be reviewed at each reporting date.

Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value, at the acquisition date, of the assets transferred by the acquirer. The Company recognizes the fair value of the consideration at the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquiree. Related costs related to business combinations are recognized as expenses when incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed, as well as the identifiable contingent liabilities, are recognized at their fair value at that date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes. The result of the acquiree is included in the consolidated loss of the Company from the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the total consideration transferred over the fair value of all identified assets and liabilities. If, at the date of acquisition, the net balance of the amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the consideration transferred, the excess is recognized immediately in loss as a profit on a business combination on advantageous terms and conditions.
Goodwill is allocated to the group of cash generating units benefiting from the synergy of the business combination. Goodwill is initially recognized at cost as an asset and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The Company determines whether there is impairment by assessing whether the carrying amount to which the goodwill relates exceeds its recoverable amount. In such a case, the loss of value is initially attributed to goodwill and any excess is allocated to the carrying amount of assets proportionately. Any impairment of goodwill is recognized in loss in the period in which it is recognized as a loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is tested for impairment at each reporting date, in order to determine if there is any indication that an asset has experienced a loss of value. If any such evidence exists, the recoverable value of the asset is estimated.
The recoverable value of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the higher between its value in use and its fair value less costs of sale. To determine the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value by applying a discount rate that reflects current market assessments, the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped to form the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other assets or group of assets (CGU).
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying value of an asset or a CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable value. Impairment losses are recognized in loss.
Impairment losses recognized in previous years are assessed at the reporting date to determine whether there are indications that confirm that the loss has decreased or if it still exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying value of assets does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, after depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures are compound financial instruments within the meaning of IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and have a liability component and an embedded derivative component.
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid contract that also includes a non-derivative host, with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.
If a hybrid contract contains a host that is an asset, the entire hybrid contract is measured at fair value through net loss. If a hybrid contract contains a host that is not an asset, embedded derivatives are recorded at fair value separately from the host contract when their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
The convertible debentures issued by the Company are a hybrid financial instrument that can be converted into units composed of common shares and warrants of the Company at the option of the holder. The hybrid financial instrument is recognized as a liability, with the initial carrying value of the convertible debentures (host) being the residual amount of the proceeds after separating the derivative component, which is recognized at fair value. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the host and derivative components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the host component of the hybrid financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The derivative component of the hybrid financial instrument is measured at fair value through profit and loss. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Fair value of warrants
The proceeds from the issuance of units are distributed between shares and warrants issued based on their relative fair values using the proportional distribution method. At the time the warrants are exercised, their value is reclassified to share capital. The value of warrants that have not been exercised at maturity is reclassified to contributed surplus.
Cash
Cash includes cash and highly liquid financial instruments, with an initial term of three months or less, when applicable.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock option plan under which directors, executives, employees and consultants can be granted stock options of the Company.
(9)
Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
Each grant is treated separately with its proper vesting period and its own fair value at the grant date, determined by the Black & Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of each grant according to the number of options granted that should be vested, and any impact is immediately recognized. Any consideration paid by the employees on exercise or purchase of stock options is credited to share capital. The value attributed to stock options is transferred to share capital at the issuance of shares.
In the normal course of business, the Company grants options in exchange for goods or services to parties other than staff members. For these transactions, the Company evaluates the fair value of goods or services received and, in counterpart, increases the equity by the same amount unless the fair value cannot be reliably estimated. In this case, the fair value is the value of options issued on the market at the date the goods or services are received.
Net loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by taking into account the potential dilution that could occur in the event that the warrants, stock options and the convertible debt conversion options to issue shares are exercised at the beginning of the year or at the date of their issuance, if later. The treasury stock method makes it possible to determine the dilution effect of the warrants and options.
Provision
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and if it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are measured at the present value of cash flows expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

The principal amount of the debentures ($1,697,000 as at July 31, 2021 and 2020) will be convertible into units of the Company at a price of $0.75 per unit and mature in July and August 2022. Each unit consists of one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company and one subordinate voting share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.95 until 48 months after the closing date.
Interest on the convertible debentures is payable in units semi-annually based on an annual rate of 10%. Each unit will comprise one common share and one share purchase warrant having a four-year contractual life. The number of units to be issued will be calculated as follows according to the situation:
-
If the subordinate voting shares comprising the units are not subject to resale restrictions by a recognized stock exchange immediately following the issuance, the five-day average of the VWAP (volume-weighted average share price) immediately prior to the interest payment date will be applicable and will be used to settle the 10% interest. The exercise price of the warrants included in the units will be equal to the one obtained for the price of the shares used to settle the interest plus 30%.
-
If the subordinate voting shares are subject to resale restrictions after they are issued, 90% of the five-day average of the VWAP immediately prior to the interest payment date will be applicable and the exercise price of the warrants will be equal to the one obtained for the price of the shares based on the conversion rate of interest plus 30%.
In its sole discretion, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount of the debentures with accrued and unpaid interest.
Convertible debentures are compound financial instruments within the meaning of IAS 32 and have a liability component and an embedded derivative component. The derivative is measured at fair value through profit or loss, and its fair value must be measured at each statement of financial position date. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value is included in finance costs (note 18).
The fair market value of the derivative component of the debentures was established according to the discounted cash flow method, and using the following average assumptions:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected life | 1 to 1.75 years | 2 to 2.75 years |
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.43% | 1.00% |

Description of authorized share capital
An unlimited number of subordinate voting shares, exchangeable subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares, participating, without par value, non-cumulative dividend.
The subordinate voting shares, exchangeable subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares are handled as if they were of one and the same category.
The holders of subordinate voting shares and exchangeable subordinate voting shares are entitled to receive notice, and to attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders, except those at which holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the CBCA. Each subordinate voting share and each exchangeable subordinate voting share confers the right to one vote per share.
The holders of multiple voting shares are entitled to receive notice and to attend and vote, at all meetings of the shareholders, except those at which holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the CBCA. Each multiple voting share confers the right to six votes per share. Each multiple voting share may, at any time, be exchanged for one subordinate voting share. In May 2027, ten years after the Qualifying Transaction, the authorized holder, without any further action, shall automatically be deemed to have exercised their right to exchange all of the multiple voting shares held by such holder, into fully paid and non-assessable subordinate voting shares of the Company, on a share for share basis.

25 Financial instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to risks, the most significant of which are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market factors. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk. The Company is exposed to one of these risks: interest rate risk.
(27)
Devonian Health Group Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2021 and 2020
Interest rate risk
The Company has a long-term borrowing bearing interest at variable rate. Consequently, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk based on changes in the prime rate. Based on the balance as at July 31, 2021, a 1% increase in the prime rate would increase interest expense by $35,000 over a twelve-month horizon.
Credit risk
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at major financial institutions; therefore, the Company considers the risk of non-performance of these instruments to be remote.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on the loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The maximum credit risk is equal to the carrying value of accounts receivable. The Company does not expect to be exposed to a higher-than-normal credit risk.
As at July 31, 2021, approximately 65% (2020 – 49%) of receivables were due from a single client.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company has difficulty meeting its commitments associated with financial liabilities. As at July 31, 2021, the Company has current debts of $1,809,418 (2020 – $2,627,659). The maturity dates of the long-term debt and the convertible debentures are presented in notes 11 and 12.
The Company monitors its cash resources. If the Company believes that it does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, management will consider the possibility of obtaining additional funds through the issuance of shares or debentures (note 2).
The tables below categorize the Company’s financial liabilities (including interest) into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining periods at the consolidated statement of financial position dates to the contractual maturity dates.
| Long-term debt Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |
Less than 3 months 3 months to 1year 1 year to 5 years Over 5 years **Total ** |
|---|---|
| $ $ $ $ $ 73,735 222,015 3,919,722 - 4,215,472 1,670,682 - - - 1,670,682 |
Fair value
The fair value of long-term debt is comparable to its carrying value, due to its variable rate.
For the debentures, the fair value is comparable to the carrying value due to the interest rate which approximates the rate at which the Company could borrow on similar terms and conditions.
