Letter from the Chairman

Dear fellow shareholder,

It is my privilege to review BioSyent's accomplishments during the 2024 fiscal year and to look ahead to the opportunities and challenges before us as we continue to build on our strategic priorities of profitable growth, portfolio diversification, and longterm value creation.

2024 was another year of solid financial performance by BioSyent Inc. and marked our 15th consecutive year of profitability. Driven by our Canadian pharmaceutical business, total Company revenue grew by 11% overall in 2024 with 13% growth in net income after tax (NIAT). Our NIAT margin improved to 21% from 20% in the prior year as our established brands, including Feramax® Pd and Tibella® , continued to deliver profitable growth with incremental growth from our launch brands, Feramax® Pd Maintenance 45, Inofolic® , and Gelclair® (all launched in 2023).

We continued to diversify our product portfolio in 2024, inlicensing the Canadian rights to an innovative new product during the year in a new therapeutic area for BioSyent – endocrinology. We see a significant opportunity with this product in Canada as we prepare to submit for regulatory approval.

During 2024, we also deployed capital into the successful acquisition of the global rights and distribution of Tibelia® (tibolone). BioSyent has successfully marketed this product in Canada under the Tibella® brand name since 2020, with 35% annual sales growth in 2024. The acquisition of the global Tibelia® business enables BioSyent to supply the product to new and existing distributors around the world, diversifying our customer base and revenue streams. This acquisition also gives BioSyent a direct source of supply for the product, improving the profitability of the growing Canadian Tibella® business over the long-term. I am pleased to report that BioSyent delivered its first global shipments of Tibelia® in Q1 2025, providing incremental revenues and cash flows. We look forward to further growth in our international pharmaceutical business as a result of the Tibelia® acquisition.

Our Canadian pharmaceutical business delivered 11% revenue growth in 2024 with contributions from across our product portfolio, including double-digit growth from our Feramax® Pd product line up. In 2025, Feramax® was once again named the #1 Recommended iron supplement in Canada by both physicians and pharmacists. This marks the 10th consecutive year that Feramax® has been honoured with this vote of confidence from Canadian healthcare providers. As Canada's leader in iron health, we are committed to building on the trust patients and healthcare providers have placed in Feramax® by continuing to develop and expand the Feramax® Pd line of iron supplements to treat and prevent iron deficiency across all stages of life.

During 2024, we continued to invest in the promotion of our inmarket launch-stage and growth-stage Canadian pharmaceutical brands, including Feramax® Pd, while also deploying capital in the expansion of our product portfolio through in-licensing and acquisitions. Concurrently, we returned capital to shareholders in 2024 through regular quarterly dividends and ongoing share

buybacks. We increased our quarterly dividend by 12.5% in Q1 2024 and again by 11.1% in Q1 2025. During 2024, we repurchased 492,300 common shares under our Normal Course Issuer Bid, which was renewed for a further 12 months to December 2025. Since first commencing our share buyback program in 2018, we have

repurchased shares every year thereafter, reducing our outstanding shares by more than 21%.

BioSyent is a Canadian success story. We are proud of the Canadian pharmaceutical business we have built over the last 19 years and our products which make a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country. We have faced many challenges in our history and have persevered through our commitment to patients, healthcare providers, and our long-term strategic priorities. As Canadian businesses currently face uncertainty from the threat of tariffs and escalating barriers to global trade, at BioSyent, we remain committed to the continued growth and success of our Canadian pharmaceutical business over the long-term. With this commitment from our people, the continuing trust from healthcare professionals and patients in our products, along with our strong balance sheet, capital-light business model, robust product portfolio, and track record of success, we are poised to face the challenges of the current business environment while capitalizing on the opportunities before us.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire team at BioSyent, I want to thank you, our shareholders, our employees, business partners, patients and healthcare professionals for your continued trust and support. I would also like to extend special thanks to Mr. Larry Andrews, who will be retiring from the Board of Directors, for his commitment and significant contribution to BioSyent's growth during his 7 years of service on the Board.

BioSyent's road to success has been a long one and not without bumps along the way. As we look back on our journey so far, and celebrate our track record of success, we have confidence that we will navigate the road ahead towards continued long-term growth and value creation.

Thank you for your continued trust in BioSyent Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

March 13, 2025

Introduction

The following discussion of BioSyent Inc.'s ("BioSyent" or the "Company") operations, performance and financial condition is based on the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 ("Consolidated Financial Statements"), which were prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by

Forward-Looking Statements

This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, revenue, earnings, changes in costs and expenses, capital expenditures as well as changes in other objectives, strategic plans and business development goals, and may also include other statements that are predictive in nature or depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and can generally be identified by words such as "may", "will", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates" or similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forwardlooking statements. These statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only BioSyent's expectations, estimates, and projections regarding future events.

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and

Accounting Estimates and Accounting Policies

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

The preparation of the Company's Consolidated 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.

BioSyent's significant accounting judgments and estimates include recoverability of asset carrying values, impairment of trade and other receivables, income taxes, the future useful lives and residual values of equipment, the useful lives of intangible assets, the fair value of share-based payments, the value of inventory, determination of the transaction price in revenue recognition, and determination of the incremental borrowing rate and lease term in leases. For a more detailed discussion of changes to the Company's critical accounting estimates, please refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important assumptions, influencing factors, risks, and uncertainties are referred to in the body of this MD&A, in the press release announcing the Company's financial results for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and in BioSyent's annual and interim financial statements and the notes thereto. These documents are available at www.sedarplus.ca.

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as at the date of this MD&A and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as required by law, BioSyent does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made or incorporated in this MD&A, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. When used, these measures are defined in such terms as to allow the reconciliation to the closest IFRS measure. These measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective.

Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analyses of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS measures such as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") an Trailing Twelve Months Earnings Per Share ("TTM EPS") to provide investors with supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance and thus highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management also believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, and to

assess the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditure, and working capital requirements. The definition and a reconciliation of EBITDA, as used and presented by the Company, to the most directly comparable IFRS measures follows later in this MD&A.

Overview, Vision, Strategy, and Products

Overview

BioSyent is a publicly traded specialty pharmaceutical company which, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, BioSyent Pharma Inc. ("BioSyent Pharma") and BioSyent Pharma International Inc., sources, acquires or in-licences and further develops pharmaceutical and other healthcare products for sale in Canada and certain international markets. Hedley Technologies Ltd. and

Hedley Technologies (USA) Inc., also wholly owned subsidiaries of BioSyent, operate the Company's legacy business, marketing biologically and health friendly non-chemical insecticides (the "Legacy Business"). BioSyent's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "RX".

BioSyent's Vision

BioSyent's vision is to be the leading independent Canadian provider of innovative healthcare products.

BioSyent's Strategy

BioSyent's strategic focus is on commercializing innovative products with recognizable brand equity sourced through international partnerships. These products are unique due to manufacturing complexities, novel technologies, therapeutic advantages and strong, defendable intellectual property rights. The Company works with and supports healthcare practitioners in improving patient lives.

The Company reviews its strategy and performance against its strategic objectives on an ongoing basis.

BioSyent's strategy has three components:

    1. Growth (Revenue and Profit);
    1. Diversification; and
    1. Corporate Longevity.

These three strategic components are prioritized in any investment and capital allocation decision made by the Company, including any decision to return capital to shareholders through the payment of dividends or through share buybacks.

Growth:

The Company uses various means of achieving its revenue growth objectives while reducing risk in the marketplace. The Company adopts an accelerating investment approach in promoting its products in the marketplace by balancing its investment behind brands with revenue and growth and by segmenting the market into immediate and long-term growth opportunities. It pursues possible reimbursement avenues for its products in both the private and public sectors. The Company employs a salesforce of qualified sales professionals across Canada with experience in pharmaceutical detailing to healthcare practitioners and hospitals. The Company supports its salesforce by using various marketing techniques throughout the product life cycle, as it deems appropriate, including healthcare practitioner detailing, direct to patient information through various media, product differentiation materials, and expansion of patient and healthcare practitioner support services to increase awareness of product efficacy and safety.

In addition to organic growth from its existing product portfolio, incremental growth from adding new products to its portfolio is essential to the Company's growth strategy, both in the near-term and long-term.

Diversification:

BioSyent has developed sourcing arrangements with partners from around the world. The Company's flexible format does not limit the scope of diversification opportunities it considers for both new and existing products or sales channels. In building its product portfolio, the Company considers accretive asset and business acquisition opportunities and in-licensing opportunities for products which can drive profitable growth in the near-term and long-term.

The Company exercises diligence when sourcing new products. Some of the steps in this process involve financial modeling, comparison against investment criteria benchmarks and financial metrics, reviewing market data and market trends, interviewing key healthcare practitioners or medical advisory boards and obtaining opinions on reimbursement possibilities with payers. BioSyent evaluates all new product opportunities against specific financial benchmarks with the objective of acquiring or in-licensing quality assets which will provide a long-term return that is consistent with or supportive of the Company's existing product portfolio.

Once the Company has decided to proceed with a new product opportunity, it acquires or licenses exclusive Canadian and/or international market rights to that product. After the acquisition or in-licensing of the product, the Company manages the product through the regulatory and product registration process and, once approved, commercializes the product in Canada and/or international markets.

Corporate Longevity:

On an aggregate basis, the Company manages its product portfolio to maintain specific annual and long-term financial ratios, including revenue and profit CAGR and Return on Equity, in order to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company maintains a discipline in acquiring or in-licensing new products which are accretive in terms of both sales and profitability over the long-term. The level of ultimate commercial success of a new product in the market is not known at the time it is in-licensed or acquired by the Company. The Company evaluates the commercial performance of each of its products on an ongoing basis and manages the level of its investments in marketing and promotional activities with an objective of maximizing long-term sales growth and profitability overall.

This strategy allows the Company to market these products as brands it owns or licenses. By virtue of its strong growth record, the Company is able to attract partners for new products that have niche positioning.

Evolution of Strategy

BioSyent considers opportunities based on its strategic objectives. From time to time, the Company may acquire or in-license opportunities in late-stage development with which it, or its partners, have significant prior experience. Such experience and competency of the Company and its partners give the Company the ability to gauge risk in some depth. The Company may also seek in-licensing opportunities for new products launched in countries outside of Canada that require additional research and development work before being launched in the Canadian market. The Company considers opportunities where there is a high probability that additional research and development work is likely to extend the lifecycle of portfolio products. Such studies might include in vitro or in vivo studies (including bio-equivalency studies, efficacy studies, or safety studies).

Ultimately, BioSyent is focused on products which can deliver superior growth and return on investment. As well as acquiring or in-licensing such products, as part of BioSyent's ongoing evaluation of its product portfolio, BioSyent may de-emphasize or even discontinue the sale of certain products in order to maintain its strategic focus and resource allocation on the best opportunities in terms of growth and profitability.

Driven by record quarterly sales in its Canadian pharmaceutical business in Q4 2024, total Company sales of \$8,796,684 grew by 6% over Q4 2023. Total Company sales for the full year of \$35,030,897 increased by 11% over the prior year, driven by 11% growth in Canadian pharmaceutical sales with growth across the Company's product portfolio.

The Company's Net Income After Tax (NIAT) margin for Q4 2024 was 18% of sales – consistent with such margin for Q4 2023. During Q4 2024, the Company recorded certain one-time intangible asset impairment write-downs of \$430,016 which impacted NIAT reported for the quarter. The Company's Q4 2024 NIAT margin in the absence of these one-time charges would be 22% to sales – in line with such margin for the previous 3 quarters.

On a full year basis, the Company's NIAT margin increased to 21% of sales for FY 2024 as compared to 20% for FY 2023. While the Company's FY 2024 gross margins declined slightly from the comparative period, the ratio of the Company's selling and marketing expenses declined overall to 35% of sales in FY 2024 as compared to 38% of sales in FY 2023. The decline in this ratio was a function of continued sales growth from the Company's established brands during the year as well as incremental sales growth from the Company's three launch brands (all launched in FY 2023) in which the Company makes significant promotional investments during their launch phase.

Results of Operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Total Company Sales:

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

Total Company sales of \$8,796,684 for Q4 2024 increased by 6% over the comparative period, driven by 7% growth in Canadian pharmaceutical sales, bolstered by 223% growth in international FeraMAX sales and offset by a 68% decline in legacy business sales.

FY 2024 vs. FY 2023

Total Company sales of \$35,030,897 for FY 2024 increased by 11% over FY 2023, driven by 11% growth in Canadian pharmaceutical sales.

Canadian Pharmaceutical Sales:

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

Canadian pharmaceutical sales for Q4 2024 were a record \$8,546,451, increasing by 7% versus Q4 2023 sales of \$7,989,098 which increased by 10% compared to Q4 2022.

The table below summarizes the Q4 2024 versus Q4 2023 percentage change in sales (dollars) by brand:

Brand Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023
Change
Cathejell® +4%
Combogesic® +39%
Feramax® Pd +7%
Gelclair® +26%
Inofolic® +92%
RepaGyn® -19%
Tibella® (Canada) +41%

All of the Company's Canadian pharmaceutical brands, with the exception of RepaGyn®, contributed to sales growth in Q4 2024. The Company observed continued demand growth at the retail pharmacy level for all of its Canadian pharmaceutical products, including RepaGyn®, during the quarter. However, as a result of a reduction in trade inventory of the RepaGyn® product at the wholesale level during Q4 2024, primary sales of the product to the Company's wholesale customers declined by 19% versus Q4 2023.

The Company's Tibella® product continued to grow during Q4 2024 with a 41% increase in Canadian sales of this product over Q4 2023. Having acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Tibella® (tibolone) as well as a direct source of production in September 2024, the Company will benefit from a significant improvement in gross margins on its future sales of this product in Canada as well as increased certainty in its supply chain for this product through vertical integration. The Company is encouraged by the success of Tibella® among Canadian patients and continued growth.

During Q4 2024, the Company also began the integration of the Tibelia® Global business into its operating structure. Although no Tibelia® orders were delivered to international customers in Q4

2024, production of the product recommenced during the quarter following the transition of operations with the Company's first product deliveries completed in Q1 2025.

FY 2024 vs. FY 2023

Canadian pharmaceutical sales for FY 2024 were \$32,931,149, increasing by 11% versus FY 2023 sales of \$29,554,899 which increased by 13% compared to FY 2022.

The table below summarizes the FY 2024 versus FY 2023 percentage change in sales (dollars) by brand:

Brand FY 2024 vs. FY 2023
Change
Cathejell® +3%
Combogesic® +66%
Feramax® Pd +10%
Gelclair® +357%
Inofolic® +328%
RepaGyn® +4%
Tibella (Canada)® +35%

All of the Company's Canadian pharmaceutical brands contributed to sales growth in FY 2024, with double-digit sales increases from the Company's growth brands, Feramax® Pd and Tibella® and incremental sales growth from the Company's launch brands Feramax® Pd Maintenance 45, Inofolic®, and Gelclair® (though each with comparably modest sales in FY 2023).

International Pharmaceutical Sales:

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

International FeraMAX® sales were \$176,734 in Q4 2024 increasing by 223% compared to Q4 2023 sales of \$54,750 which decreased by 54% compared to Q4 2022. The increase in Q4 2024 international FeraMAX® sales was the result of a shipment to a new customer in new international market during the quarter. A subsequent FeraMAX® shipment was made to this market in March 2025.

FY 2024 vs. FY 2023

International FeraMAX® sales were \$929,975 in FY 2024 decreasing by 11% compared to FY 2023 sales of \$1,047,747 which increased by 53% compared to FY 2022. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had received a customer deposit of approximately \$0.6 million on a FeraMAX® order which was subsequently shipped and invoiced in January 2025.

The Company continues to experience unevenness in the timing of international FeraMAX® sales to its international markets from period to period as the Company's distribution partners navigate the regulatory, geopolitical, logistical and trade challenges of the business environment in certain of these markets. Despite this unevenness, the Company has made international FeraMAX® deliveries in six of the last seven quarters to Q1 2025.

Legacy Business Sales:

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

Protect-It® sales for Q4 2024 were \$73,499, decreasing by 68% from Q4 2023 sales of \$229,838 which increased by 317% as compared to Q4 2022 as a result of inventory forward-buying be certain customers.

NIAT for FY 2024 of \$7,270,104 increased by 13% compared to NIAT for FY 2023 of \$6,460,127 which increased by 18% compared to FY 2022. The Company's NIAT margin for FY 2024

Sales and Net Income Before & After Tax For the full year (FY) ended December 31

Including currency translation gains of \$5,901, total comprehensive income for FY 2024 was \$7,276,005, increasing by 13% compared to total comprehensive income for FY 2023 of \$6,425,816, which increased by 17% compared to total comprehensive income for FY 2022.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. The term EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest income and/or expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. A summary of the Company's EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is provided in the graph below:

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

EBITDA for Q4 2024 of \$2,241,112 increased by 36% compared to EBITDA for Q4 2023 of \$1,650,301 which increased by 5% compared to Q4 2022. The Company's EBITDA margin of 25% to sales for Q4 2024 improved from an EBITDA margin of 20% in Q4 2023. While the Company's NIAT margin was consistent at 18% of sales for both Q4 2024 and Q4 2023, the higher income tax

expense and amortization expense following the acquisition of the Tibelia® Global intangible assets as well as lower interest income all represented positive adjustments to EBITDA in Q4 2024 as compared in Q4 2023, increasing the EBITDA margin overall.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to NIAT for the three months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is provided in the table below:

Fully diluted EPS for FY 2024 was \$0.62, increasing by \$0.09 compared with fully diluted EPS of \$0.53 for FY 2023 which increased by \$0.09 versus FY 2022.

Financial Resources and Liquidity

Working capital, defined here as the difference between current assets and current liabilities, decreased to \$19,065,974 as at December 31, 2024 from \$30,337,631 as at December 31, 2023 as the Company's long-term investments in GICs with maturities of greater than one year increased to \$10,103,571 at December 31, 2024 from \$2,500,000 at December 31, 2023. The Company actively manages the tenor of its GIC investments in order to maximize interest income over the short-term and long-term while maintaining the liquidity necessary to meet its operating, investing, and financing needs. The Company's cash and short-term investments, trade receivables and inventory also decreased from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024. Cash and short term investments of \$15,940,971 accounted for 84% of working capital as at December 31, 2024 as compared with cash and short-term investments of \$26,187,011 accounting for 86% of working capital as at December 31, 2023. The Company has sufficient cash and working capital to maintain its operating activities and to fund its planned growth and development activities.

The Company's business model does not require significant ongoing capital investment. This business model consistently generates cash from operations, providing the Company with significant cash reserves not required in operations. The Company's cash reserves provide it with flexibility in the sourcing, financing, as well as commercialization of new product in-licensing and acquisition opportunities.

In addition to significant investment in growth (both in organic growth from existing brands and incremental growth from new brands), from time to time, excess capital may be returned to shareholders through Normal Course Issuer Bid share buybacks and cash dividends. Between December 10, 2018 and the date hereof, the Company repurchased and cancelled approximately 3.1 million common shares with a total expenditure of approximately \$22.6 million (at an average price per share of \$7.26).

On August 23, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Dividend Policy. Subsequent quarterly cash dividends were declared and paid on the dates indicated in the table below:

Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Amount per Common Share
October 12, 2022 November 30, 2022 December 15, 2022 \$0.040
February 1, 2023 February 28, 2023 March 15, 2023 \$0.040
May 25, 2023 June 2, 2023 June 15, 2023 \$0.040
August 22, 2023 August 31, 2023 September 15, 2023 \$0.040
November 15, 2023 November 30, 2023 December 15, 2023 \$0.040
February 6, 2024 February 29, 2024 March 15, 2024 \$0.045
May 16, 2024 May 31, 2024 June 15, 2024 \$0.045
August 26, 2024 September 4, 2024 September 15, 2024 \$0.045
November 19, 2024 November 29, 2024 December 16, 2024 \$0.045
January 30, 2025 February 28, 2025 March 14, 2025 \$0.050

In addition to ongoing investments in growth and portfolio diversification, based on the Company's historical financial performance and planned future growth, the Board of Directors believes that share buybacks and cash dividends are also an effective use of capital in delivering long-term value to all BioSyent shareholders.

During FY 2024, there was a net decrease in cash, short-term and long-term investments of \$2,642,469 as compared to a net decrease of \$8,633 during FY 2023. With FY 2024 NIAT of \$7,270,104, the Company generated \$8,663,484 in operating cash flows, expended \$4,627,369 on net intangible asset additions, including the acquisition of the global rights to Tibelia® / Tibella® (tibolone), a further \$5,176,660 on share repurchases under its NCIB, and paid net cash dividends of \$2,079,691 during the year. Comparatively, with FY 2023 NIAT of \$6,460,127, the Company generated \$5,054,974 in operating cash flows, expended \$114,704 on net intangible asset additions, a further \$3,068,899 on share repurchases, and paid net cash dividends of \$1,912,835 during the comparative period.

The graph below illustrates the company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments as of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 as well as the growth over the comparative period:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments at December 31

Total shareholders' equity increased to \$35,003,185 at December 31, 2024 from \$34,759,756 at December 31, 2024. While the Company generated comprehensive income of \$7,276,005 during FY 2024, it repurchased 492,300 of its own common shares during the period under its NCIB, reducing shareholders' equity by a total of \$5,176,660 as a result. Shareholders' equity was further reduced by the payment of net aggregate quarterly dividends of \$2,079,691 during the year. The Company's return on average equity for FY 2024 increased to 21% as compared to 19% for FY 2023.

The Company's total assets at December 31, 2024 were \$41,359,450, consistent with total assets of \$41,528,939 as at December 31, 2023. This compares to an increase of 3% in total assets during FY 2023 from total assets of \$40,485,264 at December 31, 2022.

The Company has no short term or long term debt; however, the Company has credit facilities available with Royal Bank of Canada including a revolving demand credit facility of \$1,750,000, which has not been utilized as of December 31, 2024, a foreign exchange facility, and a credit card facility of \$30,000. This credit facility bears interest at a variable rate of Royal Bank prime plus 0.75% and has been secured with a General Security Agreement constituting a first ranking security interest of the Bank in the Company's property. The Company is subject to maintaining certain financial covenants if the demand credit facility is drawn upon.

Risk Management

The Company's risk management policies and financial results are presided over by the Company's Audit Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The pharmaceutical industry in which the Company operates is exposed to several risks due to a strict regulatory environment, an enhanced level of quality consciousness, competition from generic drug companies and heightened intellectual property litigation. The Company cannot predict or identify all risk factors nor can it accurately predict the impact, if any, of the risk factors on its business operations or the extent to which a factor, event or any such combination may materially change future results of the Company's financial position from those reported or projected in

1. Sourcing and Revenue Concentration

Some raw materials used in production are sourced from a single supplier and the Company is exposed to the same business risks that the supplier may experience. In line with other pharmaceutical companies, the Company sells its products primarily through a limited number of wholesalers and retail pharmacy chains.

2. Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company currently earns revenue in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), U.S. dollars ("USD"), and Euros ("EUR") and incurs costs in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, and Euros. Management monitors the U.S. dollar and Euro net liability position on an ongoing basis during the period and adjusts the total net monetary

3. Interest Rate Risk

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 and long-term investments consist of nonredeemable GICs which also earn interest at fixed rates during their tenure.

  1. 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 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements) 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

any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, the Company cautions the reader not to rely on reported financial information and forward-looking statements to predict actual future results.

This report and the accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with this statement concerning risks and uncertainties. Some of the risks, uncertainties and events that may affect the Company, its business, operations and results are given in this section. However, the factors and uncertainties are not limited to those stated.

The Company has policies and practices mandated by the Board to manage the Company's risks. Such risks include the following:

liability balance accordingly. When it is appropriate to de-risk future foreign exchange transactions, the Company uses Dual Currency Deposits, foreign exchange options, and forward purchase contracts to manage foreign exchange transaction exposure.

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. Changes to the Bank of Canada's Policy Interest Rate will affect market rates of interest and the rate of interest earned on the Company's GICs.

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.

a. Aging of Receivables

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.

The Company's gross trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 of \$2,595,755 decreased by 10% as compared to gross trade accounts receivable of \$2,890,334 at December 31, 2023 as a result of a decline in current receivables for December 2024 as compared to December 2023.

The Company has provided for expected credit losses of \$200,826 (December 31, 2023 - \$92,452) related primarily to disputed deductions on trade receivables adjusted for forward looking factors specific to certain Canadian pharmaceutical wholesale customers.

b. Concentration of Receivables

As of December 31, 2024, one customer represents 49% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 42%) while another customer represents 18% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 19%), a third customer represents 14% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 10%), and a fourth customer represents 9% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 – 16%).

c. Loans Receivable

The Company advanced loan proceeds totalling \$391,500 on May 26, 2017, and a further \$175,000 on December 11, 2018, in accordance with the terms of the MSLP for the purchase of the Company's common shares by the Borrowers.

All common shares of the Company purchased with the proceeds of a loan are required to be pledged as security for the satisfaction and performance of the loan obligations. If the Borrower ceases to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the original Maturity Dates or the extended Maturity Date, as applicable, all outstanding loan obligations shall become

due and payable on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of termination. In addition, in the event of a default by the Borrower of the terms of the loan, the loan obligations will become due and payable immediately.

Subject to the pledge on the common shares in favour of the Company, the Borrower is the sole owner of all common shares purchased on its behalf pursuant to the MSLP. All proceeds from the sale of common shares acquired through the MSLP are expected to be directed to the Company until the loan obligations have been satisfied in full.

Interest receivable of \$13,288 was accrued on the loans for the year ended December 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023 - \$16,598) at prescribed interest rates of 5.00% to 6.00% per annum (year ended December 31, 2023 - 4.00% to 5.00% per annum) and has been included in finance income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

As the loans are full recourse loans, they have not been accounted for as stock-based compensation, but as financial instruments within the scope of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-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.

5. 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 liabilities.

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's funds have not been committed in any way, except as set out in Note 21 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

6. Information Technology (IT)

The integrity, reliability, and security of information in all forms are critical to the Company's operations and inaccurate, incomplete or unavailable information could lead to incorrect financial reporting, poor decisions, privacy breaches, and/ or inappropriate disclosure of sensitive information.

The Company is reliant on the integrity of its IT systems, hardware, software, third party IT service providers, and certain other IT infrastructure in maintaining business continuity and in securing proprietary and sensitive information as well as certain of its financial assets. The Company has implemented comprehensive IT security policies and controls in order to safeguard its assets and sensitive information and to maintain business continuity in the event of potential disruptions. The integrity of the Company's IT systems is exposed to the inherent risk of malicious and

unauthorized breaches by outside parties acting unlawfully. The frequency and sophistication of attempted cyberattacks by malicious actors continues to grow. While extensive, the Company's IT security policies and controls cannot guarantee that such unauthorized breaches, whether targeted or opportunistic in nature, will not occur in the future. Such a breach could result in loss of financial assets through fraud, loss of sensitive information or intellectual property, reputational loss, or disruption of operations and business continuity.

The Company monitors its exposure to IT security risks on a continual basis and modifies its IT security policies, practices, infrastructure and insurance coverage as needed to address the assessed level of such risk.

The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by intense competition and the Company is faced with the risk of enhanced competitive activity which may impact operational results.

8. Climatic Conditions

The Legacy Business is dependent on agricultural production which, in turn, is impacted by climatic variations which may affect demand for its products.

9. General Economic Conditions

The Company has no control over changes in inflation, input prices, trade barriers and tariffs imposed by foreign and domestic governments, the availability of raw materials and labour, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and controls or other economic factors affecting its businesses, including uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of disease epidemics and

  1. Innovation

The competitiveness of the Company's products is subject to continuous innovation within the pharmaceutical industry. The Company tries to maintain the relevance of its products to the market but is exposed to new improved innovations that can undermine the competitiveness of its products.

11. Width of Product Portfolio

While the Company continuously strives to increase the portfolio of products in its commercialization pipeline, the high cost of acquiring new products and the long lead-time for bringing these products to market creates a dependency on a limited range of products at this time.

12. Capital Risk

Significant capital investment is required in the sourcing, development, and launch of new products to the market as a result of the high cost of product development as well as the high level of competition and regulation in the pharmaceutical industry. Competitive, regulatory, and market risks result in a high degree of pandemics and the risk of supply chain interruptions related thereto, geopolitical risks, armed conflicts, economic sanctions or the possibility of political unrest, legal or regulatory changes in jurisdictions in which the Company or its customers operate. These factors could negatively affect the Company's future results of operations.

new product failures in the specialty pharmaceutical industry. Given the substantial resources and investment required in launching new products, there is uncertainty that the returns on such investment will meet Company expectations as well as a risk of financial loss for unsuccessful product launches.

13. Agreements Relating to the Development and Distribution of Products Internationally

The Company currently has several collaboration or distribution agreements relating to the marketing and distribution of FeraMAX® and Tibelia® products in international markets. The Company relies on these agreements because it does not wish to market its products directly in these markets. The Company intends to secure additional agreements relating to the marketing and distribution of FeraMAX® and any other product for which it may receive commercial rights outside of Canada.

The Company may be unable to enter into in-licensing agreements for the development of new products and out-licensing agreements for the distribution of its existing products. The Company also faces and will continue to face, significant competition in seeking

appropriate collaborators and marketing and distribution partners. Moreover, collaboration and distribution arrangements are complex and time-consuming to negotiate, document and implement.

Reliance on these agreements exposes the Company to a number of risks, including the following:

  • Collaborators and marketing and distribution partners may not devote sufficient resources to the Company's products or product candidates;
  • Disputes may arise with respect to payments that the Company believes are due under such distribution and collaboration agreements;

  • Unwillingness on the part of collaborators and marketing and distribution partners to provide updates regarding the progress of its development, commercialization or marketing activities, or to permit public disclosure of these activities;

  • Collaborators and marketing and distribution partners may terminate the relationship; disputes may arise in the future with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with collaborators;
  • Disagreements with collaborators and marketing and distribution partners could result in litigation or arbitration;
  • Collaborators may elect to pursue the development of any additional product candidates and pursue technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with other parties, including competitors;
  • Collaborators and marketing and distribution partners may pursue higher priority programs or change the focus of their programs, which could affect the collaborators' and marketing and distribution partners' commitment to their respective territories;
  • Collaborators and marketing and distribution partners may develop or distribute products that compete with the Company's products; and
  • The Company's pharmaceutical products are distributed to international markets where political and economic risks and uncertainties may exist. These risks and uncertainties could adversely affect the distribution of the Company's products to such markets.

The occurrence of any of these or other events may impair commercialization of the Company's products.

14. Regulatory Risks

With respect to BioSyent's Legacy Business, regulatory and legislative requirements affect the development, manufacture and distribution of BioSyent's products, including the testing and planting of seeds containing its biotechnology traits and the import of crops grown from those seeds. Non-compliance can harm sales and profitability. The failure to receive necessary permits or approvals could have near and long-term effects on BioSyent's ability to produce and sell some current and future products.

With respect to BioSyent's Pharmaceutical Business, the sale of pharmaceutical products is highly regulated, which significantly increases the difficulty and costs involved in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for marketing new and existing products.

Various business interruption risks inherent to the pharmaceutical industry, like product recalls, adverse drug reactions, quality issues and issues relating to good manufacturing practices may impact the financial results if they transgress regulatory boundaries.

The regulatory approval process can be long and may involve significant delays despite the Company's best efforts. There is also a risk that the Company's products may be withdrawn from the market and the required approvals suspended as a result of noncompliance with regulatory requirements. The extent of such regulation is increased for products designated by Health Canada as Controlled Substances, such as the Tibella® women's health product. As a result, the Company's costs of regulatory compliance and risks associated with non-compliance are higher for such Controlled Substances than for other non-controlled pharmaceutical products which it markets and sells.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the regulators will not require modification to any submissions, which may result in delays or failure to obtain regulatory approvals. Any delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals could adversely affect the ability of the Company to utilize its technology, thereby adversely affecting operations. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's products will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive the requisite regulatory approval.

15. Specific Risks

The Company has insurance policies in place against risks relating to general commercial liability, product liability, product recall, loss of Company assets, IT security, and business interruption. The Company reviews its insurance coverage on a regular basis as part of its risk management program and adjusts this coverage as appropriate, based its current risk profile and operations. The Company is exposed to the potential risk that claims made on the Company or losses incurred may be in excess of the level of insurance coverage undertaken by the Company.

Purchase Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company has minimum purchase commitments with certain of its suppliers.

Venture Exchange. The RSU Plan was established as a vehicle by which equity-based incentives may be granted to eligible employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company to recognize and reward their contributions to the long-term success of the Company including aligning their interests more closely with the interests of the Company's shareholders. The RSU Plan is a fixed plan which reserves for issuance a maximum of 800,000 common shares of the Company.

As of the date hereof, 202,199 of the Company's own common shares were held in trust pursuant to its RSU Plan for future settlement of vested RSUs granted to employees, senior management, and directors of the Company. As of the date hereof, there are 208,500 unvested RSUs outstanding.

Disclosure Controls

The Company constantly endeavours to allow for greater segregation of duties and operating level controls within the constraints of its operating infrastructure. While intending to strengthen both these aspects of internal control, the Company believes that strong management supervisory controls minimize the possibility of erroneous financial reporting.

The certifying officers of the Company have opted not to certify the design and evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). Inherent limitations on the ability of the certifying officers to design and implement (on a cost-effective basis) DC&P and ICFR for the Company may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

Investor Relations Activities

Investor relations functions were accomplished through personnel whose duties include dissemination of news releases, investor communications and general day-to-day operations of the Company. Mr. René Goehrum, President and CEO, Mr. Robert March, Vice

President and CFO, and Mr. Joost van der Mark, Vice President, Corporate Development, assist in the implementation of the Company's investor relations program.

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, 2024 and 2023 are compliant with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

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

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Tibelia / Tibella (tibolone) Acquisition

Key Audit Matter Description

As described in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, on September 20, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with the trustees of Novalon SA and Mithra Pharmaceuticals SA to acquire certain assets related to Tibelia / Tibella (tibolone).

We considered the accounting for the Tibelia / Tibella (tibolone) acquisition to be a key audit matter due to the significant judgment applied by management in concluding that this transaction did not represent a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, which, in applying the concentration test, included the use of significant estimates by management in estimating the fair value of the assets acquired as part of the transaction. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort.

Audit Response

We responded to this matter by performing audit procedures relating to the accounting for the Tibelia / Tibella (tibolone) acquisition. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

We obtained and examined the underlying agreements related to the acquisition;

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

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 Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, 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.

  • We evaluated management's assessment on whether the acquisition represents an asset acquisition or a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations;
  • We assessed the methodology and key inputs used to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired as part of the transaction, and utilized an internal valuations expert in doing so;
  • We assessed the adequacy of the presentation and disclosures relating to the acquisition in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

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.

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.

Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes 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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Jonathan Mac Neil.

3. Summary of Material 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.

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 and long-term investments, trade receivables, other receivables (which includes interest receivable), 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 disputed payment deductions by customers, 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-by-case 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 for trade receivables 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.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, loans receivable are a Stage 1 financial asset.

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

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. 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 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 reporting period 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 fixtures 20% declining balance method
Equipment 20% declining balance method
Computer equipment 30% declining balance method
Computer software 30% declining balance 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, Short-term and Long-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 whereas long-term investments have maturities that will be realized 12 months after the date of the reporting period. 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. A provision for obsolescence is determined based on historical experience and product expiration dates.

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

future milestone payments associated with the acquisition of intangible assets are capitalized to the cost of the intangible asset when it is determined that the milestones have a high likelihood of being attained.

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 14). 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;
  • 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

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.

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 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 sharebased payments under these plans in accordance with IFRS 2, Sharebased 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.

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.

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 anti-dilutive.

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 13 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.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Company.

In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Company assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.

The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and

circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date that the Company obtains complete information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum period of one year.

Newly Adopted Accounting Policies

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and are unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. The amendments also clarify the definition of "settlement" of a liability. The amendments

were effective January 1, 2024. There was no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of these amendments.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not yet Effective

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and introduces new presentation requirements within the statement of income or loss, including specified totals and subtotals, disclosure of management-defined performance measures, and aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on identified roles of the primary financial statements and the notes. This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and is to be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this standard.

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.

d. Acquisitions

The Company assesses whether an acquisition is an asset acquisition or a business combination. The Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business and the Company obtains control of the business. When the cost of a business combination exceeds the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired or liabilities assumed, such excess is recognized as goodwill. Transaction related costs are expensed as incurred.

If an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination, the Company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition.

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. In making this estimate, management considers the product life of inventory. Product expiry dates are important in the determination of the net realizable value of inventory. Management ensures that systems are in place to identify and properly value inventory that may be approaching its expiry date.

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 uses historical customer return data to determine the expected return percentages. These percentages are applied to determine the amount of the variable consideration. Any significant changes in experience as compared to historical return patterns will impact the expected return percentages estimated by the Company.

The Company provides for estimated payments to customers based on various trade programs and sales promotional incentives. These arrangements with purchasing organizations and other payers are dependent upon the submission of claims after the initial recognition of the revenue.

The Company estimates the amount payable to each customer for each trade and incentive program separately using: i) historical redemption patterns; ii) sales lead times; and iii) customer rates for discounts and rebates. Estimates incorporate the usage of internal data and other wholesaler and third-party analyses.

The Company updates its expected returns and sales promotional incentives on a quarterly basis and the contract liability, trade and promotional accruals are adjusted accordingly. To the extent that payments differ from the estimates of the related liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contract liability, net income and comprehensive income will be affected in future periods.

f. Determination of incremental borrowing rate

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 17).

5. Acquisition of Tibelia® / Tibella® (tibolone) Global Product Distribution Rights

On September 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the trustees of Novalon SA and Mithra Pharmaceuticals SA (the "Vendors") to acquire certain assets

related to Tibelia® / Tibella® (tibolone), a hormone replacement therapy drug for the treatment of the symptoms of menopause, including intellectual property, global rights, certain licensing,

distribution, supply agreements and other key contracts as well as certain inventory and equipment (the "Acquisition"), for total cash consideration of EUR 2,782,959 (CAD 4,213,123).

In accordance with the Company's accounting policies and IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, the Company conducted a concentration test on the Acquisition and determined that substantially all of the

fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, namely, the tibolone global product distribution rights. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the Acquisition is not a business combination and accounted for the transaction as an acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 – Intangible Assets (see Note 14).

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 and long term investments, trade and other receivables, loans receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the loans receivable due to interest being charged at the prescribed rate (see Note 12) is insignificant for the year.

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 Options and Forwards:

The Company periodically enters into foreign exchange options with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings to manage its foreign exchange risk on contracts denominated in U.S. dollars. Such options are classified as derivative financial instruments and measured at fair value through profit and loss. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had entered into options to purchase up to

a total of USD 2,300,000 to USD 4,100,000 (December 31, 2023 - USD 1,425,000 to USD 2,512,500) at exchange rates expressed in CAD per USD ranging from 1.3298 to 1.3850 (December 31, 2023 - 1.3198 to 1.3200) which will be settled on various dates between January 2025 and December 2025 (December 31, 2023 - January 2024 and November 2024). The Company's right to buy USD 2,300,000 (December 31, 2023 - USD 1,425,000) on the respective settlement dates is subject to the spot exchange rates on the settlement dates being above 1.3298 CAD per USD (December 31, 2023 - 1.3198 to 1.3900 CAD per USD). The Company's obligation to buy USD 4,100,000 (December 31, 2023 - USD 2,512,500) on the respective settlement dates is subject to the spot exchange rates on the settlement dates being below a range of 1.3190 to 1.3650 CAD per USD (December 31, 2023 - within a range of 1.2995 to 1.3200 CAD per USD).

At December 31, 2024, the Company had also entered into forward contracts with a right to buy USD 150,000 at a rate of 1.4227 CAD per USD. No such forward contracts were entered into as of December 31, 2023.

The fair value of foreign exchange options and forwards is estimated based on quoted values from financial institutions. The Company's foreign exchange options and forwards resulted in a derivative asset of \$5,790 as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – derivative liability of \$27,285).

The following table illustrates the Company's investment in foreign exchange options and forwards that are measured at fair value through profit and loss:

December 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Foreign Exchange Options and Forwards - \$5,790 -
December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Foreign Exchange Options - (\$27,285) -

¾ Dual Currency Deposits:

The Company also periodically enters into dual currency deposits ("DCD"). A DCD is a CAD or foreign currency denominated transaction that provides an enhanced guaranteed interest payment at maturity. 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:

December 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
DCDs - \$705,000 -
December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
DCDs - - -

At December 31, 2024, the Company also had the following USD denominated DCD that was convertible into CAD:

Type of Financial
Instrument
Spot Rate on
Transaction Date
Principal (USD) Net Fair Value (CAD) Guaranteed Interest
Rate
Maturity Date Fixed Maturity
Conversion Rate
DCD 1.3761 \$500,000 \$705,000 5.00% January 15, 2025 1.4100

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

At December 31, 2023, the Company had nil DCDs.

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

Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis - USD

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.

The following tables present foreign exchange sensitivity analyses for the assets and liabilities of the Company denominated in foreign currencies:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Description of Asset/(Liability) USD USD
Cash and cash equivalents 986,072 604,011
Short term investments 500,000 -
Accounts receivable 3,319 15,352
Less: Accounts payable (387,463) (1,355,966)
Net Total 1,101,928 (736,603)
Foreign Exchange Rate CAD per USD at the end of the year 1.4389 1.3226

At December 31, 2024, if the U.S. dollar had been stronger or weaker by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, comprehensive income would have been \$116,539 higher or lower on an after-tax basis, respectively (December 31, 2023 - \$71,606 lower or higher, respectively).

Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis - EUR

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Description of Asset/(Liability) EUR EUR
Cash and cash equivalents 1,677,342 686,448
Less: Accounts payable (225,917) (97,616)
Less: Customer advances (396,900) -
Net Total 1,054,525 588,832

Foreign Exchange Rate CAD per EUR at the end of the year 1.4928 1.4626

At December 31, 2024, 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 \$115,703 higher or lower on an after-tax basis, respectively (December 31, 2023 - \$63,300 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 and long-term investments consist of non-redeemable GICs which also earn interest at fixed rates during their tenure. These GICs have original maturities of 9 to 36 months.

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 year. The Company actively manages the tenor of its GIC investments in order to maximize interest income over the shortterm and long-term while maintaining the liquidity necessary to meet its operating, investing, and financing needs.

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 and long 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 12)

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 year 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.

Aged Trade Accounts Receivable December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Current \$ 1,686,276 \$ 2,246,964
Past due 1-30 days 733,714 579,832
Past due 31-60 days 38,943 8,464
Over 60 days 136,822 55,074
Expected Credit Losses (200,826) (92,452)
Closing Balance (Note 8) \$ 2,394,929 \$ 2,797,882
Maximum Credit Risk 2,595,755 2,890,334

As of December 31, 2024, one customer represents 49% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 42%) while another customer represents 18% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 19%), a third customer represents 14% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 - 10%), and a fourth customer represents 9% of net trade receivables (December 31, 2023 – 16%).

The Company has provided for expected credit losses of \$200,826 (December 31, 2023 - \$92,452) related primarily to disputed deductions on trade receivables adjusted for forward looking factors specific to certain Canadian pharmaceutical wholesale customers.

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-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, subject to certain conditions, and are maintained with Canadian 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 where the carrying value does not approximate 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 including a revolving demand credit facility of \$1,750,000 which it has not drawn down as at the date hereof, a foreign exchange facility, and credit card facilities totalling \$30,000.

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, 2024.

Non-redeemable GICs \$10,103,571 \$2,500,000
Total long term investments \$10,103,571 \$2,500,000

12. Loans Receivable

On December 8, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a Management Share Loan Program ("MSLP") under which the Company offered secured loans to certain management personnel employed by the Company (each a "Borrower") up to a maximum of fifty percent of each Borrower's base annual salary for the sole

purpose of their purchase of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at prevailing market prices through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Loans Receivable (\$)
Balance, December 31, 2022 416,769
Repayments (158,766)
Accrued Interest 16,598
Balance, December 31, 2023 274,601

Current portion, December 31, 2023 69,419
Non-current portion, December 31, 2023 205,182

All common shares of the Company purchased with the proceeds of a loan are required to be pledged as security for the satisfaction and performance of the loan obligations. If the Borrower ceases to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the original maturity dates or the extended maturity date, as applicable, all outstanding loan obligations shall become due and payable on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of termination. In addition, in the event of a default by the Borrower of the terms of the loan, the loan obligations will become due and payable immediately.

Subject to the pledge on the common shares in favour of the Company, the Borrower is the sole owner of all common shares purchased on its behalf pursuant to the MSLP. All proceeds from the sale of common shares acquired through the MSLP are expected to be directed to the Company until the loan obligations have been satisfied in full.

Interest receivable of \$13,288 was accrued on the loans for the year ended December 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023 - \$16,598) at prescribed interest rates of 5.00% to 6.00% per annum (year ended December 31, 2023 - 4.00% to 5.00% per annum) and has been included in finance income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

As the loans are full recourse loans, they have not been accounted for as stock-based compensation, but as financial instruments within the scope of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments.
