Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Innovotech Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Innovotech Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficiency), statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, 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 in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
==> picture [277 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [226 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Trevor Nakanishi.

Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1 Nature of operations and use of the going concern assumption
Innovotech Inc. (the Company) is incorporated under the Business Corporation Act of Alberta. The primary activities of the Company are sales of its products, conducting contract research for outside customers and research and development to identify products for future commercialization. The Company’s product is an assay used in growing microbial biofilms for research purposes. The Company is publicly traded and listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, and its registered office is in Edmonton, Alberta.
These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In mid-March 2020, federal, provincial, and local authorities in Canada, the United States, and other nations began to significantly restrict the ability of people to leave their homes and carry out normal day-to-day activities. These measures will have a significant, negative effect on the economy of all nations, for an uncertain period of time. The ability of the Company to carry on normal business activities and to otherwise meet its obligations to creditors and others is also uncertain.
2 Basis of preparation
These financial statements are audited and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on April 20, 2021.
3 Significant accounting policies
These financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.
a) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
b) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
c) Inventories
Inventories of products for resale are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
d) Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to earnings during the period in which they are incurred.
The major categories of equipment are depreciated on a declining balance basis as follows:
| Laboratory and office equipment | 20% |
|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 30% |
Residual values, method of amortization and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
e) Research and development
The Company undertakes research and development in the course of identifying and preparing products for commercialization. Expenditures during the research phase are expensed as incurred. Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if certain criteria, including technical feasibility and intent and ability to develop and use the technology, are met, otherwise they are expensed as incurred. No development costs have been capitalized to date. The Company expenses costs incurred in pursuit of patents.
f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Equipment is tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or CGUs). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGU). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The Company evaluates impairment losses for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration.
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
g) Revenue recognition
Contract research fees relate to research services provided to third-party customers. Where costs and revenues associated with a contract can be measured reliably, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the proportion of estimated total costs of the contract incurred to date. In rare circumstances where reliable estimates cannot be made, but it is still probable that incurred costs will be recovered, revenue is only recognized to the extent of costs incurred.
Contract research fees may include milestone payments which require the Company’s ongoing involvement. In these cases, revenue is recognized upon achievement of the milestone as specified in the agreement, provided payment is proportionate to the effort expended as measured by the ratio of costs expended to total estimated costs.
Unbilled revenue represents costs incurred plus estimated gross profit in excess of billings on incomplete contracts.
Revenue from product sales is recognized upon delivery of the product when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
License fees are the signing fees from potential partners in joint development or commercialization agreements. These fees are non-refundable fees received at the inception of an agreement and are recognized when the Company has no further involvement or obligation to perform under the agreement.
Grants in support of research activities are recognized as the related expenses are recognized, once there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Company will comply with the grant conditions.
h) Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock option plan for the benefit of certain officers, directors, employees and consultants. Awards of stock options are accounted for and measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted as share-based compensation and result in compensation expense. The amount of compensation is measured at the date of option grant. The expense is recognized in income over the service period of the employee to whom the option was granted with a corresponding amount recorded in contributed surplus. When a stock option is exercised any consideration received in addition to the amount previously recorded in contributed surplus is credited to share capital. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.
i) Warrants
The Company may raise capital through the issuance of units, which include both common shares and share purchase warrants. Proceeds raised are allocated first to warrants, based on an estimate of fair
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the residual allocated to share capital.
- j) Income (loss) per share
Income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, whereby deemed proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants with an exercise price below the average market price of the shares, is considered to be used to reacquire common shares at the average market price during the year.
- k) Income taxes and refundable tax credits
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference, or unused tax loss or credit can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
Refundable scientific research and experimental development (SRED) tax credits are recorded using the cost reduction method, whereby credits are deducted from related expenses once reasonable assurance of realization is established.
- l) Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect as of the balance sheet date. Gains and losses are recognized in income on a current basis.
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
m) Financial instruments
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVOCI are initially recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVOCI are included in comprehensive income or loss in the period in which they arise. On recognition, cumulative gains and losses of financial assets in other comprehensive income or loss are reclassified to profit or loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. Regardless of whether credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance for trade receivables without a significant financing component classified at amortized cost, are measured using the lifetime expected credit loss approach. The Company shall recognize in the statements of net income (loss), as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversals) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
n) Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. Estimates and other judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Company has made in the preparation of the financial statements:
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets, including equipment is reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Where impairment indicators are identified, the Company uses discounted cash flow models to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, which drives the conclusion of whether impairment exists, and if it does, the amount of impairment to record. These models require assumptions to be formulated about future cash flows, margins and discount rates, which are made using careful judgment, but are nonetheless subject to estimation risk.
Fair value of stock options and warrants
Determining the fair value of stock options and warrants requires judgment related to the choice of a pricing model, the estimation of expected stock price volatility, and the expected term of the instrument. Any changes in the estimates utilized to determine fair value could result in a significant change in the amount of stock based compensation charged to operations.
o) Segment reporting
While the Company has achieved commercialization of certain of its products, discrete financial information is not prepared on a segmented basis and resource allocation decisions are not based on segmented operating results. Therefore, the Company currently has no operating segments to report.
p) Leases
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for its leases. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. At the commencement date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. If the lease terms are subsequently changed, the present value of the lease liability is re-measured using the revised lease terms and applying the appropriate discount rate to the remaining lease payments. The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in profit or loss. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets.
4 Accounting standards changes
There are no new or amended International Financial Reporting standards or interpretations that required adoption by the Company during the year.

8 Due to shareholder
The amount due to a shareholder of the Company consisted of a $100,000 line of credit which was repayable on demand and bore interest at 6% per annum. On July 15, 2019 the repayment terms were amended from being payable on demand to a stated repayment date on or after October 22, 2022. The amount was therefore classified as a noncurrent liability. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shareholder agreed to wave the interest payment for four months. On October 30, 2020 the Company repaid the outstanding balance on the line of credit. Interest incurred on the loans during the year was $3,000 (2019 – $6,000).
9 Term loan
The term loan was accessed through the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”). The funds are part of the Government of Canada’s support of corporations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds were used to fund nondeferable operating expenses during the quarter. The loan is non-interest bearing until December 31, 2022. Repaying the balance of the loan on or before December 31, 2022 will result in a loan forgiveness of $10,000. Thereafter the loan will be converted into a three year term loan at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Company repaid $10,000 of the term loan during the year.

c) Stock options
The Company has an incentive stock option program (the Program) pursuant to which the Board of Directors of the Company may allocate non-transferable options to purchase common shares to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The aggregate number of common shares that may be available for issuance from time to time under the Program is not to exceed ten (10%) percent of the number of common shares issued and outstanding in the capital of the Company, calculated on a fully diluted basis. Options granted under the Program must have an exercise price not less than the market value of the common shares (less any permissible discount) at the grant date and vest over a period of one year or as otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors. These options are exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors. For purposes of the option pricing model, expected volatility is calculated based on the most recent historical period equal to the option’s expected term.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $61,652 for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 – $53,378).

16 Capital management
The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to finance its research and development activities, corporate, administration and marketing expenses, working capital and overall capital expenditures. The Company makes every attempt to manage its liquidity to minimize shareholder dilution whenever possible.
The Company defines capital as net equity, comprised of issued common shares, warrants, contributed surplus and deficit. No quantitative targets or benchmarks are used in managing capital.
Since inception, the Company has primarily financed its liquidity through public offerings of common shares and private placements. The Company has also met its liquidity needs through non-dilutive sources, such as research grants, shareholder loans, interest income and revenue from contract research activity.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes to the Company’s objectives and what it manages as capital since the prior fiscal period.
17 Financial instruments
Financial instruments consist of recorded amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and repayable contributions.
a) Fair value
The Company has determined that the carrying amount of financial instruments included in working capital is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterparty will cause a financial loss by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and accounts receivable. The Company deposits its cash with a major Canadian bank. The Company assesses its credit risk on a regular basis and records an allowance to provide for anticipated credit losses. The Company conducts business with a variety of
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
customers, however a small number of customers may comprise a significant proportion of revenue in any given period, thereby giving rise to a concentration of credit risk. See note 5 for further details.
c) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company earns a significant portion of its revenue in United States dollars. The Company also incurs expenses in United States dollars. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
The Company believes that the results of operations and cash flows could be affected by changes in foreign exchange rates, but would not significantly impact its ability to meet its obligations.
Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in US dollar exchange rates are reflected in general and administrative expense for the year. The Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of $9,987 in 2020 (2019 – loss of $9,821).
The following table summarizes accounts denominated in US dollars at December 31:
| Cash Accounts receivable Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Net exposure |
2020 $ 2019 $ 6,482 584 122,662 72,305 (828) (423) |
|---|---|
| 128,316 72,889 |
The following exchange rates applied at December 31:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| US$ – CAS$ | 1.27812 | 1.30659 |
Based on the Company’s foreign currency exposures noted above, varying the above foreign exchange rate to reflect a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have increased the net gain by $16,400 (2019 – $9,524), assuming all other variables remained constant.
An assumed 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar would have had an equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
Innovotech Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Company is exposed to nominal interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates on its cash balances. Accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities bear no interest.
e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are due within one year of the balance sheet date. The Company’s planned level of expenditures for 2021 does not exceed its committed sources of funds.
18 Geographic information
Geographic information about the Company’s revenue is based on the product shipment destination and, for contract research, on the location of the contracting organization.
