History of the Company

Hapbee Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is a company incorporated on January 3, 2019 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The head office is located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 2250, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9. Its registered and record office and corporate office is located at 700 West Georgia Street, Suite 2500, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1B3. The Company’s principal business activity is to commercialize consumer digital products that will deliver one or more ultra-low radio frequency energy signals to produce mood-altering effects.

On June 15, 2020, the Company completed a forward stock split of its shares on a 1 for 4.5 basis. The Company had 13,455,000 common shares issued and outstanding and the resulting post stock split common shares outstanding are 60,547,500. The numbers of common shares issuable pursuant to all share capital have been retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the stock split ratio. On the same day, the Company amended its articles in order to change its authorized capital from an unlimited number of common shares, without par value, to an unlimited number of Subordinated Voting Shares, and created a new class of unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares, all without par value.

During May 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Zander Capital Ltd. ("Zander") and to complete a transaction structured as a three-cornered amalgamation (“Amalgamation”) with Zander and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, 1245802 B.C. Ltd ("802"). As consideration for the Amalgamation, each outstanding common share of the Zander was exchanged for one Subordinated Voting Shares of the Company. Pursuant to the amalgamation agreement, an aggregate of 8,724,401 the Company's Subordinated Voting Shares will be issued to the shareholders of Zander. The transaction closed on June 16, 2020, with Zander becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On October 30, 2020, the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Listing”).

Business of the Company

The Company develops wearable wellness products that enhance the human experience through magnetic field technology. Our core products, the Hapbee Smart Sleep Pad and the Hapbee Wearable Neckband, are wearables that “play” or deliver unique magnetic signals, which produce sensations. These sensations fall under 3 broad categories: Sleep, Perform and Mood. The Hapbee Wearables are controlled through the Hapbee App with both iOS and Android smartphones. Potentially hundreds of different sensations can be produced using patented ultra-low radio frequency energy ( ul RFE[®] ) technology.

EMulate Therapeutics, Inc (“EMulate”) is a disruptive platform technology company with multiple market opportunities. They have received 32 global patents on technologies relating to the Hapbee Wearable Wellness Product. In particular, EMulate invented and patented ul RFE technology that utilizes precisely targeted ultra-low radio frequency energy to specifically regulate metabolic pathways on the molecular and genetic levels – without chemicals, radiation or stimulants – delivered via simple-to-use, non-sterile, noninvasive, non-thermal, non-ionizing devices.

While EMulate remains focused on medical devices, the Company has acquired exclusive global licenses to adapt the ulRFE technology for a non-medical consumer application aimed at the wellness industry—namely, signals used with the Hapbee Wearable Devices.

The science and technology behind the Hapbee - Wellness Products are based on magnetically induced effects. We use a specialized process to create unique ulRFE signals that produce precise biological responses. The

Company is adapting this technology for “at home”, non-medical, recreational use by consumers to alter moods and produce sensations expected to be helpful in everyday life. Certain emulated magnetic fields are played through the Hapbee Wellness Products to deliver several types of unique sensations or moods including signals, blends and routines that optimize sleep, performance and mood.

Overall Performance

The following discussion of the Company’s financial performance is based on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the 3- and 9-month periods ending September 30, 2022 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The statement of financial position as at September 30, 2022 indicated a cash balance of $279,368 (December 31, 2021 - $3,630,119), receivables of $36,529 (December 31, 2021 - $91,926), inventory and prepayments of $364,190 (December 31, 2021 - $283,596) and intangible assets of $2,123,987 (December 31, 2021 - $2,283,235).

Liabilities as at September 30, 2022 totaled $2,405,575 (December 31, 2021 - $4,680,590). Shareholders’ equity is comprised of share capital of $13,958,823 (December 31, 2021 - $13,341,355), reserves of $6,299,483 (December 31, 2021 - $5,702,819), an accumulated other comprehensive income of $29,520 (December 31, 2021 - $33,171) and an accumulated deficit of $18,891,426 (December 31, 2021 - $17,469,059). The increase in share capital is primarily due to the January 2022 private placement. The increase in reserves is mainly due to share-based compensation to directors, officers and consultants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported a net loss and other comprehensive loss of $2,414,797 ($0.05 basic and diluted loss per share) compared to a net loss and other comprehensive loss of $4,731,707 ($0.10 basic and diluted loss per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Year-to-Date (for 9-months ended September 2022 compared to the 9-months ended September 30, 2021)

During the nine months period ended September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded sales on products of $993,407 (2021 – $1,147,311) and cost of goods sold of $732,178 (2021—$576,782). The Company reported a net loss and other comprehensive loss of $2,414,797 ($0.05 basic and diluted loss per share) compared to a net loss of $4,731,707 ($0.10 basic and diluted loss per share) for the nine months period ended September 30, 2021. Net loss for the period mainly included amortization of intangible assets of $159,248 (September 30, 2021 - $158,997), consulting fees of $2,816,392 (September 30, 2021 - $1,911,579), general and administrative of $1,642,740 (September 30, 2021 - $1,486,080), product development costs of $729,508 (September 30, 2021 - $244,510), professional fees of $99,866 (September 30, 2021 - $151,583), share-based compensation to directors, officers and consultants of $703,090 (September 30, 2021 - $1,380,797), and change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,471,306 (September 30, 2021 - $405,685). The net loss and other comprehensive loss decreased due to the impact of ongoing operations partially offset by the change in the warrant liability during the period.

Devices

Hapbee Wearable Wellness Devices

On September 15, 2022, Hapbee launched the new Hapbee Smart Sleep Pad and made it available for preorder on its website. The Smart Sleep Pad - which measures approximately 11” x 9” x 2” with a comfortable foam covering - is engineered specifically to optimize sleep. Designed for placement under a pillow during sleep or behind the back on chair while seated, it features a larger magnetic sweet spot for optimal efficacy despite movement.

The original Hapbee Wearable Neckband was launched in September 2019. It weighs 4.5 ounces and was designed for daytime use. The lightweight, and low-profile design of the Hapbee Wearable Neckband allows users to wear the product comfortably discreetly around their collars under their shirts.

Both Hapbee devices allow wearers to optimize their sleep, performance and moods by producing a variety of sensations by “playing” precise electromagnetic fields. The sensations fall under several broad categories such as: Sleep, Perform and Mood. The devices connect to and are controlled by the customizable Hapbee App that is available for both iOS and Android compatible smartphones.

The Company retained Crown Bioscience International Inc. (“CrownBio”), a third-party contract research organization, in April and August 2019 to conduct in vivo studies for both safety and basic efficacy (behavioral response) of the electromagnetic signals. CrownBio is a global company with facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, China, and Taiwan. CrownBio used a blinded study protocol, where even

lab technicians were not advised of which signals were tested on which cage of mice. The studies had 80 test subjects. Each of the cages of mice were given the unique magnetic fields at different time intervals (N=5 mice/group), and all cages were then tested with a 15-day continuous signal to gauge safety. No adverse effects were reported. Significantly, the activity levels of the mice changed based on the signal used. Among the many results/effects that were observed, the “Alert” signal caused the mice to be mildly hyperactive, the “Relax” signal caused mild hypoactivity, and the “Sleepy” signal caused the mice to be somnolescent. In addition, the blinded lab techs reported being able to guess with full accuracy which signal was being played onto each group of mice.

The first small group of Hapbee Wearable Wellness Products were designed by Product Creation Studios. These products were then circulated for beta testing to hundreds of users across the United States who provided their feedback. All six of the basic sensations were tested with the prototype and the response was decidedly positive by mostly all of the users, according to anecdotal responses and testimonials.

A soft launch of the Hapbee Wearable Neckband began on February 12, 2020, with a popular crowdfunding site, indiegogo.com. The “Hapbee – Choose How You Feel” campaign introduced the Hapbee Wearable Neckband to Indiegogo’s nine million followers and offered early-bird pricing with several product bundling options for presale. Indiegogo provided additional marketing for the Company through newsletters and social media platforms as the campaign raised certain target amounts. The campaign’s fixed goal of US$15,000 in presales was surpassed within just 7 minutes of the campaign launch.

The Company has entered into a supply agreement with Pinnacle Technology Group in Toledo, Ohio, where certain components of the Hapbee Wearable Wellness Product are manufactured, and the product is assembled and packed for distribution to the Company’s e-commerce partners who receive the units through their procurement channels.

Since its development, close to 10,000 Hapbee Wearable Wellness Bands have been sold. The company is in development of innovative new form factors which will allow users to benefit from the Hapbee signals through different delivery hardware.

Hapbee Subscription and the Hapbee App

The Hapbee App is the main user interface that allows users to control and use their Hapbee devices. The Hapbee App currently includes 40 different blends and lifestyle routines —each for a specific use. Buyers receive a free trial of premium membership which provides all-access to the complete library for a limited time (typically 30 days) followed by the option to continue premium membership via a monthly or annual paid subscription. Buyers opting out of a paid subscription continue to have access to certain base signal blends that still provide core functionality (like sleep or focus). Paid premium membership provides many incremental features including personalization, integration with certain wearable trackers, enhanced product replacement guarantee, profile creation and more comprehensive library of routines and other enhanced functionality.

The Company continues to optimize the user experience and is testing a variety of both paid and non-paid subscription options to maximize user engagement and revenue.

The Company engaged three full-time and one part-time mobile app developers and one full-time and one parttime API/Web development team to collaborate, together with several independent contractors, on the development of the Hapbee App, including how signals will be deployed and the strict security protocols for software, servers and products. Future planned releases will include improved usability based on user feedback and enhanced functionality to entice more users to try and opt-in for a paid subscription plan.

HAPBEE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

The signals themselves, which are played on the Hapbee Wellness Devices, are security protected using encryption standards such as AES 128-bit song encryption keys, 128-bit device communication encryption keys and 2048 key length using RSA[1] and ECDSA[2] encryption providers on the Company’s server resources. Songs are transferred from EMulate via Secure HTTPS to our secure server hosted by Microsoft Azure to distribute to users via the Hapbee App and transferred to each product using a secure device key determined by the manufacturer (over the Bluetooth LE frequency).

The Company has also developed a protective song encryption tool for enhanced software security. The Company will be able to encrypt songs using the specifications of our product, and there is no reliance on a third-party vendor to create updates, nor are there security violations inside the encryption tool that would compromise the product. The utility for song encryption uses Microsoft.NET Framework and Windows Desktop Platform to ensure the highest security. Subscriber data, which includes basic contact information, is encrypted and saved on the Company’s secure server.

In addition to platform security protection though encryption protocols, which protect the loading and playing of the signals through the Hapbee App onto the Hapbee Devices, the product is also sealed through sonic welding, and if broken open or tampered with, the product and embedded signals are rendered useless.

The Hapbee App will allow the Company to collect trends on user habits including time of day plays, duration, and other demographics. The Hapbee App will also give the Company the opportunity to cobrand and release new signals with other companies for products such as VR and AR, pillow, automotive and mattress companies.

Signals, blends and routines can be added, updated and removed on the fly, and the Hapbee App can specify suggested play time on a per signal basis. At the time of this MD&A, there are more signals and routines in research and development. The Company’s research and development team is evaluating additional signals to potentially license from EMulate. Consumer feedback will determine the priority of the development of additional signals. Features such as controlling signal intensity, scheduling signal playtimes or mixing custom signal “playlists” are in research for the Hapbee App.

Research and Development

To date, the Company has spent $2,223,243 on the creation of the Hapbee Devices and the Hapbee App. Management has planned ongoing form factor and application development to increase the portfolio of sensations that are available to users.

Over the next 12 to 18 months, the Company expects to release new signals. Currently there are additional signals in evaluation stages while other signals are being investigated with respect to optimizing their strength.

The prototype of the current form factor is a headband/necklace product. With the advent of new material such as flexible battery and circuit electronics and electronics integrated into washable fabrics, the Company is considering developing form factors for activity-specific application such as a helmet, a yoga mat for relaxation or travel pillow for rest.

As at September 30, 2022 the Company had negative working capital of $1,375,459 (December 31, 2021 – $2,427,617). Cash as at September 30, 2022 was $279,368 (December 31, 2020 – $3,630,119). The decrease was mainly due to increased operating expenses from December 31, 2021 to date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company experienced cash outflows of $3,350,751 (9-months ended September 30, 2021 – $1,774,325) from operating activities. Cash outflows from investing activities were $Nil versus $10,000 for 2021. Financing activities realized inflows of $1,246,824 (2021 – $554,147) and included proceeds from exercise of warrants of $Nil (2021 - $554,147), proceeds of $1,273,253 (2021 - $Nil) from subordinated voting shares issuances and $Nil (2021 - $Nil) from convertible debentures issuances.

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of its shares and convertible debentures. The Company believes that it has sufficient working capital for its short-term corporate obligations, but generation of additional capital will be required for future operations until sufficient revenue can be generated from the Company’s sales of its wearable wellness products. As the Company cannot predict the time at which revenue will exceed expenses, the Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt.

The Company’s financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which it can complete development of its current product and the user absorption the product receives. Such development may take longer than expected and the amount of resulting revenue, if any, is difficult to determine. The value of the core product is largely dependent upon many factors beyond the Company’s control.

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

HAPBEE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about critical accounting judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are outlined below.

Share-based payments

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions when calculating the estimated fair values of stock options granted and warrants issued. The significant assumptions used include estimates of expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend rate and expected risk-free rate of return. Changes in these assumptions may result in a material change to the expense recorded for grants of stock options and the issuance of warrants.

Deferred income taxes

The Company is periodically required to estimate the tax base of assets and liabilities. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to varying interpretations, it is possible that changes in these estimates could occur that materially affect the amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities generally have a direct impact on earnings in the period of changes.

Each period, the Company evaluates the likelihood of whether some portion or all of each deferred tax asset will not be realized. This evaluation is based on historic and future expected levels of taxable income, the pattern and timing of reversals of taxable temporary timing differences that give rise to deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning initiatives. Levels of future taxable income are affected by, among other things, the market price for commodities, production costs, quantities of proven and probable reserves, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates.

Going concern

The determination of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires the Company to make certain judgements about whether the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Capitalization of intangible assets

Management is required to use judgement in determining the economic useful lives of identifiable intangible assets and the capitalization of costs for internally generated intangible assets is subject to judgment including the technical feasibility, timeframe to commercialization, assessment of availability of resources to complete the project, and if economic benefits will be generated form its use. Management is required to use judgement in determining the economic useful lives of identifiable intangible assets. Judgement is also required in identifying indicators of impairment of the Company’s intangible assets.

Change in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

Please refer to Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information regarding the Company's significant accounting policies and changes.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and convertible debentures. The fair values of the Company’s cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying values, due to their short-term natures. The Company’s cash is measured at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and price risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the counterparty's inability to meet its obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash. Risk associated with cash is managed through the use of major banks

14

HAPBEE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the 3- and 9-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

which are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. Credit risk is assessed as low.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations when they become due. The Company aims to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term operating requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company believes that the capital sources will be sufficient to cover the expected cash requirements by obtaining financing through the issuance of debt or shares. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity and equity prices, and foreign exchange rates.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not currently exposed to interest rate risk.

(b) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potentially adverse impact on the Company’s ability to obtain equity financing due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company is not exposed to price risk as it has no instruments in publicly held securities.

(c) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk as all of its operations are in the United States of America, except of cash held in Canadian Dollars which amounted to $163,095 Canadian Dollars as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $4,105,712), accounts receivable which amounted to $Nil Canadian Dollars at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $Nil) and accounts payable which amounted to $411,274 Canadian Dollars at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $382,847).
