To the Shareholders of Mednow Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Mednow Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 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.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 Giacomo Angelini.

MEDNOW INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Mednow Inc. (the “Company” or “Mednow”) is a Canadian company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on January 17, 2018. The registered office address is 10th Floor, 595 Howe St., Vancouver, BC V6C 2T5.
The Company is a healthcare technology company that has developed a proprietary website and a web application to facilitate the sale and distribution of prescription medications. The Company’s web application is accessible and compatible with the internet browsers Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, and Microsoft Edge on mobile phones and on personal computers. Through its proprietary technological infrastructure, the Company provides customers with a convenient and secure way to fill, order, receive and manage their prescriptions without having to physically attend a brick-and-mortar pharmacy.
On March 4, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), and on March 9, 2021, the Company listed its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “MNOW”.
2. COVID-19
The outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19,” has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada (such as the provincial vaccine passports) and other countries to continue to vaccinate its population, contain and treat the disease. The effects that these events will have are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine the corresponding financial impact at this time.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The accounting policies applied to these Consolidated Financial Statements are based on IFRS which have been applied consistently to all periods presented, with the exception of the adoption of the revenue recognition policy described in Note 5.
The Company's fiscal year (the "period", "fiscal year", "year") begins on August 1 and ends on July 31.
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on October 20, 2021.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries listed below.
Consolidation
These financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
As of July 31, 2021, the Company's subsidiaries incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act included:
Subsidiaries Percentage of equity interest Mednow Pharmacy MB Ltd. (“Mednow MB”) 100% Mednow Pharmacy NS Ltd. (“Mednow NS”) 100% Mednow Operations Inc. ("Mednow Operations) 100% Mednow Medical Inc. ("Mednow Medical") 100% Mednow Virtual Care Limited ("Mednow Virtual Care") 70%
5
MEDNOW INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, outlines the requirements for the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements, requiring entities to consolidate entities it controls. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins on the date that control is acquired by a Company over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. The income and expenses of new subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year, as well as new subsidiaries incorporated during the year are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Segmented information and reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Executive Officer. The Company substantially operates and is managed as one reportable segment. Operating revenues are comprised of revenues generated from the Company's marketing and technology support services in Note 5. The Company's net assets and its underlying revenue are generated from its operations in Canada.
Management is organized based on the Company’s operations as a whole rather than the specific revenue streams.
4. SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. The key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company.
The following are examples of the estimates and assumptions that have been made in applying the Company’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
-
The Company applied judgment when determining the fair value of the warrants issued as part of the IPO transaction and share-based expenses, which use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, that incorporates assumptions regarding the expected life of the instrument, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rates.
-
The underlying estimated useful life of the Company's property, equipment and intangible assets.
-
The inputs and assumptions used to analyze impairment for the Company's property and equipment and intangible assets, and assessment of the related cash generating units.
-
The determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate and record the Company's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In estimating its incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers the term of the lease, the lease renewal terms, the nature of the leased asset, and its level of indebtedness with reference to market risk-free interest rates.
-
The expected credit losses ("ECL") applied against due from related parties based on forward-looking factors.
-
The ability of the Company to remain a going concern. Considerations include all information about the availability of capital financing, current working capital funds, and future commitments and obligations.
-
The derivation of the income tax provision, assets and liabilities, including the recoverability, if any, of the Company’s deferred tax assets in relation to unused tax losses by estimating the probability, timing and level of any future taxable profits as well as changes to future tax rates.
-
The determination of significance influence with respect to the Company's investment in Life Support Mental Health Inc.
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
6
MEDNOW INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets or financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Debt financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) are non-derivative financial assets with contractual cash flows that meet the strictly principal and interest (“SPPI”) test and are managed on a hold to collect and for sale basis. Subsequent measurement of debt instruments classified at FVOCI under IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) operates in a similar manner to available for sale debt securities under IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, except that ECL impairment model must be applied to these instruments under IFRS 9. As a result, FVOCI debt instruments are measured initially at fair value, plus direct and incremental transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, FVOCI debt instruments are remeasured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), with the exception that both related foreign exchange gains or losses and changes in ECL allowances are recognized in the statement of net earnings and comprehensive income.
Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. The Company classifies its financial instruments depending on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired and their characteristics.
Financial asset
For subsequent measurement, there are two measurement categories into which the Company classifies its financial assets:
a). Amortized cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are debt financial instruments with contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI test and are managed on a hold to collect basis. These financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus direct and incremental transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, net of an allowance for expected credit losses.
b). Fair value through profit or loss
Trading financial instruments are mandatorily measured at FVTPL as they are held for trading purposes or are part of a managed portfolio with a pattern of short-term profit taking. Non-trading financial assets are also mandatorily measured at fair value if their contractual cash flow characteristics do not meet the SPPI test or if they are managed together with other financial instruments on a fair value basis. Trading and non-trading financial instruments valued at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value as at the statement of financial position date. Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Fair value hierarchy
The Company applies a three-tier hierarchy to classify the determination of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment. Observable inputs are inputs that are based on market data from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an investment based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 - inputs for the investment that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other short-term investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash throughout their term and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Due to and from related parties
The Company's related party transactions are described in Note 17.
Property, equipment and intangible assets
Property, equipment and intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged against income as incurred. Expenditures that extend the estimated life of an asset are capitalized. The assets are amortized when they are available for use. Following initial recognition, the underlying assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Property and equipment includes the cost of buying and replacing component parts of equipment and any expenditures required to make the equipment ready for use.
The intangible assets consist of the costs capitalized to build and develop the Company's web and mobile application. The costs are capitalized where the expenditure is incurred on developing an income generating web and/or mobile application and when the Company can demonstrate:
-
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale;
-
It’s intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset;
-
How the asset will generate future economic benefits;
-
The availability of resources to complete the asset; and
-
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
All research costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only if it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the website. All other expenditures, including operating costs, are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

MEDNOW INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line basis as this approach best reflects the consumption and benefit patterns pertaining to the asset’s use. Depreciation is charged commencing when the asset is available for use. The following rates are based on the expected useful lives of the assets:
| Pharmacy automation equipment | 10 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 2- 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lease term |
| Intangible assets | 3 years |
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation at the lease commencement date for leases with terms of more than 12 months. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease obligation adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term using the straight-line method. The lease terms range from 3 to 10 years for facilities and vehicles.
Investment in equity securities
The Company recognizes its investment in equity securities using the equity method. The investment is initially measured at cost, which comprises the amount paid by the Company to obtain an equity stake, and the investment is then adjusted for the post-acquisition share of the Company's net profit or loss of the investee, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Post acquisition distributions received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the Company's investment.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of non-financial assets for potential 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 or cash generating units (“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 value exceeds its recoverable amount.
For non-financial assets other than goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount, but cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. They are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising mainly if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, renewal or termination option, or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When lease liabilities are remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue recognition
On August 1, 2020, the Company adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the service contract with related parties. IFRS 15 prescribes a five-step recognition and measurement model for revenue from contracts with customers and related costs. Under IFRS 15, the Company recognizes revenue on the transfer of services to customers for the amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services promised. The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
Marketing and Technology Support Services
The Company provides marketing and technology support services to pharmacies by connecting individuals to a network of pharmacies. The pharmacies pay the Company fixed consideration each month based on the aggregate revenues the pharmacy earns from the underlying customer in that month for using the marketing and technology support services. Under the arrangement, the performance obligation is the use of the marketing and technology support service each month and accordingly, the performance obligation is fulfilled through the passage of time and therefore this service revenue is recognized as the services are provided each month.
Staffing Services
The arrangement with pharmacies carries the option to provide the pharmacies with services from the Company’s employees at a fixed hourly rate to assist with the fulfillment of orders to pharmacy customers. Under this arrangement, the performance obligation is the employee’s services to the pharmacy and the consideration is the prescribed rate defined in the contract. Revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is fulfilled which is as the Company’s employees conducts order fulfillment for the pharmacy. No revenue has been recognized for these services for the period ended July 31, 2021 (2020 – nil).
Share-based payment transactions
The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The board of directors grants such options for periods of up to five years, with vesting periods determined at its sole discretion and at exercise prices equal to the closing market price on the day preceding the date the options were granted.
The fair value of the options granted to employees is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized as the employees earn the options. The fair value is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognized an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest.
The fair value of the options granted to non-employees is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used. The value of the goods or services is recorded at the earlier of the vesting date, or the date the goods or services are received.
When the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts of equity reserves are transferred to share capital.
Foreign Currency Translation
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currency other than the entity's functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Income taxes
Deferred tax is recognized on loss carry-forwards and tax credits, and on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

MEDNOW INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The carrying amount of any deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred taxes are recognized as an expense or income in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognized outside profit or loss.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The dilutive effect on loss per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of dilutive loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of warrants that would be anti-dilutive. Shares held in escrow, other than where their release is subject to the passage of time, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Potentially dilutive Common Shares, relating to warrants and options outstanding as at July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, were not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

In addition, the Company also has the option to invest an additional $750,000 payable in cash, in exchange for 1,101,606 Class C voting common shares of Life Support. Both options are available to the Company contingent on Life Support meeting performance milestones and targets specific to each of the investments. The derivative associated with the option has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as the value has been assessed as insignificant. The performance milestones and targets specific to each investment were not met as of year-end, however, subsequent to year end, the first milestone was met and the Company exercised its additional purchase option (See Note 20). If the Company decides not to fund or pursue the remaining purchase option, the Company will not receive the additional common shares of Life Support. The Company will retain all existing shareholder rights in respect to the Class C voting common shares that it holds.
