MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Mednow Inc. (the “Company” or “Mednow”) is a healthcare technology company that provides pharmacy services including a user-friendly online interface to order and manage medical prescriptions, free home delivery of medications, and access to healthcare professionals through an intuitive virtual chat experience. The Company’s technological infrastructure includes its website, web application and forthcoming downloadable mobile application. 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 personal computers.

Mednow is a Canadian public company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on January 17, 2018. On March 9, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and listed its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “MNOW”. The registered corporate office address is 10th Floor, 595 Howe St., Vancouver, BC V6C 2T5. The Company’s website is www.mednow.ca. Mednow’s fiscal year end is on July 31, 2021.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The majority of healthcare services are currently accessed through brick-and-mortal retail stores. As a result of evolving consumer spending patterns since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for virtual healthcare services, such as the ability to order and receive prescription medications at home in a contactless and timely manner, has increased significantly. Mednow is well positioned to operate in the pharmacy services industry through its stateof-the-art, easy access, online technological infrastructure, established commercial relationships with traditional brickand-mortar retail drug stores, and through management’s extensive knowledge and expertise of pharmacy supply chain, logistics, economics, operations and regulatory requirements.

STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES

The Company’s core strategic imperatives include national expansion of the pharmacy business across Canada, accretive acquisitions and investments in healthcare services and technology, pursuit of institutional contracts and business development initiatives, and continued efforts to increase user base of the Company’s services.

Through its third fiscal quarter, the Company incorporated two entities under the Canada Business Corporations Act, Mednow Pharmacy MB Ltd. and Mednow Pharmacy NS Ltd. Both entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of the parent company, Mednow Inc. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company will expand its pharmacy operations to service the provinces of Manitoba and Nova Scotia. In addition to this, the Company continues efforts to establish its pharmacy operations in the provinces of Alberta and Quebec. The Company expects to own and operate brick-andmortal retail pharmacy stores in these provinces, which will allow the Company to establish brand presence, service walk-in customers as well as service majority of customers through home delivery of medications ordered via its web and mobile applications. By the end of this calendar year, the Company expects to own and operate pharmacies in six (6) Canadian provinces, including the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia where Mednow currently operates its pharmacy businesses.

Mednow continues efforts to pursue large, institutional contracts, such as the recently signed agreement with the Police Pensioner’s Association of Ontario. These large contracts are expected to result in a lower cost of customer acquisition than traditional retail consumers.

STATEMENT ON 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 and other countries 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.

Credit risk

The Company’s credit risk arises from its cash deposit with banks, of which there is $32,978,537 deposited as at April 30, 2021 (July 31, 2020 - $5,255,396), accounts receivable of $443,247 (July 31, 2020 - $nil) and its due from related parties of $1,326,826 (July 31, 2020 - $nil), which represents the entities maximum exposure to credit risk. Sales tax receivable is not considered a significant component of credit risk as it relates to sales tax recoverable from the government. Accounts receivable and due from related parties are entirely concentrated to Mednow East Inc. and Mednow West Inc., which are discussed in Note 10.

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 are inputs that 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).

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. The Company’s accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are considered appropriate in the circumstances but are subject to judgments and uncertainties inherent in the financial reporting process. Such judgments include:

  • The Company measures the fair value of share purchase warrants issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates the assumptions regarding contractual life of the warrants, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rates. The Company is required to calculate the fair value of these warrants at the date of issuance;

  • Management applied judgment in determining whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern;

  • • Management applied judgment in determining 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; and

  • Management applied judgment in reviewing the carrying values of the intangible assets to determine whether any impairment indicators existed
