STATEMENT ON COVID-19

The coronavirus (“COVID-19") was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Since then, COVID-19 has spread across the globe and is continuing to impact global economic, business and social activities. During this period of time, government authorities have implemented preventative and emergency measures, including travel bans and social distancing requirements, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The preventative and emergency measures have been gradually reduced in parts of the world in the last few months, including in Canada, largely as a result of the access and availability of vaccines, as well as due to the increasing number of vaccinated populations.

The Company has undertaken the following activities to prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19: (1) the implementation of enhanced safety and health measures, such as social distancing measures and sanitization and cleaning protocols; (2) the Company continues to offer select company staff in certain functions such as marketing, technology and administrative shared support services an option to work from home, or to adopt a hybrid work model.

The outbreak, related mitigation measures, as well as the potential emergence of other variants of COVID-19, may continue to have adverse impacts on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. Management will continue to assess the impact of the coronavirus on its financial results.

STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES

Through its partnership with HepCURE, a non-profit company and one of Canada’s leading Hepatitis C screening and treatment providers, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Liver Care Canada, will offer patients access to HepCURE’s programming and services to further improve medication adherence of Hepatitis C medications and optimize treatment outcomes to help achieve the goal of eliminating Hepatitis C in Canada by 2030.

LIFE SUPPORT

On July 9, 2021, pursuant to the terms of its subscription agreement ("subscription agreement"), the Company acquired an equity interest in Life Support Mental Health Inc. ("Life Support", "investee"), a privately held Canadian company that has developed mental health solutions to patients. Through this strategic investment, the Company is able to expand and diversify its portfolio of healthcare services that it can provide to its patients.

On July 9, 2021 the Company paid cash consideration of $500,000 to Life Support, and received 1,265,968 Class C voting common shares of Life Support. On October 18, 2021, the Company paid cash consideration of $250,000 to purchase an additional 473,809 Class C voting common shares of Life Support.

On July 31, 2022, the Company identified and assessed indicators of impairment related to Life Support securities. The amount of the impairment was determined using management's estimates and assumptions, including assessments and evaluation of historical and projected future financials of Life Support. As a result, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of $598,238 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss which has reduced the investment carrying value to $nil.

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company earns interest income of 3%, compounded annually. The promissory note will be automatically converted into equity interest of Doko based on a triggering event that is tied to Doko's ability to raise capital over a defined monetary threshold in the form of equity financing or a change in control at Doko. The amount of the equity interest that the Company will receive on the occurrence of the triggering event is based on a conversion price calculation as defined in the agreement. Doko has the ability to repay the principal and interest at any time, without penalty. The promissory note is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value of Doko was calculated based discounted cash flow models that represent management’s projections based on current and anticipated market conditions. The key assumptions include a discount rate of 20%, revenue and cost growth rate for each year and the terminal growth rate of 3%. These assumptions are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A 15% change in the revenue growth assumption will not have an impact on the fair value of the financial asset.

During the year ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of $510,250 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss which has reduced the investment carrying value to $nil (2021: $nil).

Doko Medical is a virtual healthcare provider that has over 100 physicians and healthcare workers engaged over its platform, which specializes in urgent care, mental health and erectile dysfunction. Doko Medical has developed a secure and scalable telemedicine platform that helps clinicians deliver care to patients.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES AND FAIR VALUE REMEASUREMENT

(a) Impairment of Goodwill and Intangibles

Impairment of Goodwill

The Company conducts goodwill impairment testing annually, or more often if events, changes or circumstances indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a cash generating units (“CGU”) is lower than its carrying amount. At the time of the annual impairment test, the Company determined that the existence of impairment on certain long-lived assets and goodwill, as a result of lower than expected profitability and cash flows and changes in market expectations of cash flows since the Company acquired the goodwill, indicated the fair value of its CGUs might be lower than the carrying value.

The Company has performed an impairment analysis based on historical and forecasted performance measures for its CGU which are: Medvisit, Mednow West, Mednow East and Mednow Ontario Limited, Infusicare, Liver Care Canada Inc. and London Pharmacare Inc. The recoverable amount for the CGU's has been determined using the greater of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal, using discounted cash flow models. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the CGU exceeds the recoverable amount for the CGU.

As at July 31, 2022, the Company identified five CGU’s and allocated the carrying value of goodwill to the respective CGUs:

Cash Generating Unit Carrying Value Segment
Medvisit 1,516,143 Doctor services
Mednow West 1,670,092 Retail pharmacies
Infusicare 1,951,235 Retail pharmacies
Mednow East and Mednow Ontario Ltd. 1,714,280 Retail pharmacies
Liver Care and London Pharmacare 1,217,914 Retail pharmacies

The Company’s fair value less cost of disposal exceeded the value in use and therefore the Company determined the fair value less cost of disposal of each CGU and compared it to the carrying value. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow technique based on the following key assumptions:

These assumptions are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company included four years of cash flows in its discounted cash flow model. Cash flows were based on past experiences, actual operating results and a growth rate based on management’s projections. The cash flow forecasts were projected beyond the four year period using an estimated terminal growth rate. The cash flows represent management’s projections based on current and anticipated market conditions.

Cash flow projections have been discounted using the weighted average cost of capital, which considers the time value of money, the risks specific to the CGU and was calculated using the risk-free rate and an equity risk premium adjusted for comparable publicly traded companies.

Based on the impairment analysis, the Company has recorded asset impairment charges related to its goodwill in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss calculated using the fair value less costs of disposal method using discounted cash flow models for each of the CGU's below. As a result of the impairment tests, the Company has recorded the following asset impairment charges for the year ended July 31 (2021: $nil): Medvisit $650,236, Infusicare $1,221,609, Liver Care and London Pharmacare $2,507,910 and Mednow West $862,314.

At each reporting period end the Company considers if there have been any indicators that indicate that its long-lived assets are not recoverable. Based on lower than expected profitability and cash flows, the Company determined that an impairment test was appropriate at that time.

The recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount for three of its CGUs. The Company then determined the fair value of each of those asset groups and allocated the impairment to the assets within the group, being intellectual property, customer relationships, doctor relationships and brand. The assets were not written down below their individual fair value.

As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that intangible assets with a carrying amount of $2,646,174 were no longer recoverable and adjusted the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $806,267 resulting in an impairment loss of $1,839,907.

The fair value of each asset group was determined using cash flows expected to be generated by market participants, discounted at a weighted average cost of capital.

Impairment of Life Support

As at July 31, 2022, the Company identified and assessed indicators of impairment related to Life Support securities primarily based on lower than expected profitability and cash flows. The Company has determined the recoverable amount using the greater of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal, using discounted cash flow models. The Company has applied key assumptions (as discussed above) in determining the recoverable amount. These assumptions are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Management’s estimate of the discount rate reflects its weighted average cost of capital.

18

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

Based on the impairment analysis, the Company has recognized asset impairment charges of $598,238 in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss which has reduced the investment carrying value of Life Support to $nil (2021: $495,475).

Our valuation is highly sensitive to the assumptions in our financial model. There is an inherit risk in relying on the Company’s judgement on factors in the discounted cash flow as this can substantially change the valuation of the CGU's reflected in our financial statements. The inputs used, such as the revenue growth rate and discount rate requires a degree of judgment, and changes in assumptions could impact the impairment assessment.

(b) Fair Value Remeasurement

On November 24, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Doko Medical Inc. ("Doko"), a virtual healthcare provider which operates in the United States in 38 states. The Company paid cash consideration of $500,000 in the form of a convertible promissory note that is repayable to the Company on the maturity date of November 24, 2023. The Company earns interest income of 3%, compounded annually. The promissory note will be automatically converted into equity interest of Doko based on a triggering event that is tied to Doko's ability to raise capital over a defined monetary threshold in the form of equity financing or a change in control at Doko. The amount of the equity interest that the Company will receive on the occurrence of the triggering event is based on a conversion price calculation as defined in the agreement. Doko has the ability to repay the principal and interest at any time, without penalty. The promissory note is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value of Doko was calculated based discounted cash flow models that represent management’s projections based on current and anticipated market conditions. The key assumptions include a discount rate of 20%, revenue and cost growth rate for each year and the terminal growth rate of 3%. These assumptions are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A 15% change in the revenue growth assumption will not have an impact on the fair value of the financial asset.

During the year ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of $510,250 which has been recorded to other expenses on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to honor a financial obligation. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and notes receivable and due from related parties. As at July 31, 2022, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk for these financial instruments was as follows:

As at July 31, As at July 31,
2022 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,970,532 $
28,758,598
Accounts receivable 1,709,002
Due from related parties 2,023,565
Leases receivable 157,158

The Company's accounts receivable of $1,542,326 (2021: $nil) consist primarily of amounts that are expected to be collected from private insurers and provincial health care plans, such as the Ontario Health Insurance Plan ("OHIP"). The Company generates revenue from sales of prescription medications to patients, and the Company submits claims to insurers based on each patient's coverage. These claims are reflected as amounts due to the Company from insurers, which are collected in accordance with standard payment terms of each insurer.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, leases receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, bank indebtedness, due to related parties and other cash consideration approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in the US dollar, Euro, and Canadian dollar will impact the Company's results, including its financial statements. The Company's transactions that are exposed to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations primarily include the costs paid to develop the web application from US and Europe based third party companies, and other vendors and suppliers who invoice and require payment in US dollars and Euros. Due to the short-term payment terms on these trade payables, the Company's currency risk is minimal. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency translations.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Judgements, Assumptions and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s 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 significant estimates and assumptions that have been made during the year ended July 31, 2022, in applying the Company’s accounting policies that have a significant impact on the amounts in these financial statements.

  • The determination of the purchase price accounting of the businesses that the Company has acquired, including the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and the fair value of contingent consideration as well as the associated remeasurement of earnouts. The underlying assumptions and estimates used for the purchase price accounting impact the asset and liability amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position on the acquisition date. The estimated economic lives of the acquired amortizable assets, the identification of intangible and fixed assets, the determination of the indefinite or finite useful lives of intangible and fixed assets acquired, and the application of IFRS 16 lease accounting standards impact the Company’s profit or loss from the date of acquisition.

  • The judgement and assumptions used by the Company in assessing the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis for the doctor services operating segments. This assessment is based on various factors, including whether the Company controls the service provided to the patient, and whether the Company is the principal in the transaction (which would lead to the gross recognition of revenue), or whether the Company is the agent in the transaction (which would lead to the net recognition of revenue). The assessment of whether the Company is considered the principal or agent has an impact primarily on the accounting of the amount of revenue and cost of sales recorded.

  • The expected credit losses ("ECL") applied against loans, including accounts receivable, leases receivable and due from related parties based on forward-looking factors.

  • The judgment and assumptions used by the Company in assessing the acquisitions of London Pharmacare and Liver Care on the acquisition date of February 22, 2022 as a single business acquisition. This assessment is based on factors, including whether the acquisitions are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other, whether the acquisitions form a single transaction designed to achieve an

24

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

overall commercial effect, whether the occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other arrangement, and whether one arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other arrangements.

  • The determination of the valuation of inventory, including the assumptions used to calculate the net realizable value of the inventory.

  • The judgement used by the Company in assessing for indicators of impairment for the Company's intangible and tangible assets, performing the annual impairment test, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to calculate and record asset impairment charges and/or the determination of the recoverable amounts of tangible and intangible assets subject to depreciation, amortization, or with indefinite lives.

  • The assumptions and judgement applied to assess and determine the cash generating units of the Company and the impairment of goodwill, including the growth rates and discount rate assumed in the model.

  • 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 Company applied judgment when determining share-based expenses using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which 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 determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate and record the Company's right-ofuse assets and lease liabilities, as well as the determination of the Company's lease renewal options. 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 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.

Business Combinations, Non-Controlling Interest and Goodwill

For the year ended July 31, 2022, the Company adopted IFRS 3, Business Combinations, as the Company completed acquisitions discussed in Note 4. IFRS 3 establishes requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company has elected to apply the acquisition model in accordance with IFRS 3 for accounting for business combinations under common control.

The Company has also applied IFRS 3 to recognize, measure and disclose the non-controlling interest ("NCI") in its virtual care and telemedicine business which operates as Mednow Virtual Care Ltd., a subsidiary controlled by Mednow Inc. Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest that is owned by parties outside of the Company. The share of net assets of the subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interest is presented as a component of equity.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value. Goodwill was measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit ("CGU") or group of CGUs which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Contingent consideration was measured at fair value at the time of the business combination and was taken into account in the determination of goodwill. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in other expenses (income) on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

25

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with changes impacting goodwill. Measurement period adjustments arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date about circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

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

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties subject to common control are also considered to be related. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company's related party transactions are described in Note 20.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of finished goods. Inventory is valued and recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost includes all direct expenses in bringing inventory to its present condition and location, net of consideration received from suppliers and vendors. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling expenses. Inventory is written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage, shrinkage or declining retail prices. The Company records consideration received from suppliers and vendors as a reduction to the cost of inventory, and these amounts are recognized in cost of sales when the associated inventory is sold.

Leases Receivable

The lease receivable balance relates to leases that the Company has entered into with the landlord and has subsequently entered into a sublease agreement with the tenant. The lease receivable for the sublease was measured at the amount equal to the lease liability and includes the underlying interest income resulting from the sublease agreement.

When the Company enters into sublease arrangements as an intermediate lessor, the Company assesses whether the sublease is classified as a finance sublease or an operating sublease by reference to the corresponding right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset.

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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment 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. 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.

Property and equipment acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date.

Following initial recognition, the underlying assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated asset impairment losses.

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:

Automation equipment 10 years
Leasehold improvements Lease term
Vehicles 2 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Medical equipment 3 - 10 years

Property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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 consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line basis as this approach best reflects the consumption and benefit patterns pertaining to the asset’s use. The Company's indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are indicators that the indefinite life intangible assets may be impaired. The customer relationships, doctor relationships and intellectual property are tested for impairment when indicators are present.

Intellectual property 5 years
Brand Indefinite life

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 consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

The software intangible asset includes costs capitalized to build and develop the Company's web and mobile application software. 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;

  • Its 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.

27

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

All research costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only if it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the web and mobile application. All other expenditures, including operating costs, are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company has recognized the following intangible assets from its acquisitions based on the purchase price allocation (Note 4) that was performed during the year ended July 31, 2022.

  • Customer and doctor relationships - The Company's customer and doctor relationships consist of the fair value assessed using management's financial projections, historical data and assumptions based on repeat customers for the Medvisit doctor home visits business and the Mednow West, London Pharmacare, Mednow East and Infusicare retail pharmacies, and based on the Company's ability to continue to retain doctors for the Liver Care business.

  • Intellectual property - The Company's intellectual property consists of the fair value of the internally developed application that is used by doctors for the coordination and scheduling of doctor home visits, to record patient medical reports and diagnosis, as well as to bill the provincial health care plan. The application is used by Medvisit for its doctor home visits business.

  • Brand - The Company's brand consists of the value attached to the Medvisit operating trade name based on management's financial projections and assumptions.

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, automation equipment and vehicles.

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.

28

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recorded based on temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying values in the financial statements. Deferred income taxes are determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position dates and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset or liability is recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

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.

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 consolidated statements 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's operating revenue is primarily comprised of sales from four (4) key sources:

(1) The Company sells prescription and over-the-counter medications at its retail pharmacies through online and walkin channels. The Company owns brick-and-mortar retail pharmacies which service patients in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

(2) The Company offers doctor services, such as virtual care and telemedicine services, which are facilitated through the web and mobile application, as well as doctor home visits for patients who are unable to leave their homes. Virtual care and telemedicine services are offered in the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario, and doctor home visits are offered in Ontario. The Company enters into consulting agreements with doctors, pursuant to which the doctors provide medical consultations to patients, and the Company provides the technological infrastructure, including a proprietary web and mobile application to facilitate the delivery of virtual care, telemedicine services and doctor home visits. For a majority of doctors, the Company pays the doctors a fixed percentage of the gross billings for each patient/doctor consultation. The Company bills and collects the gross billings for each patient/doctor consultation primarily from the provincial health care plan; out of pocket costs are billed and collected from the patient and private insurance plans. The gross billings for each patient/doctor consultation are recorded as revenue in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when the service has been provided to the patient. Gross billings for consultations are variable, based on the nature of each medical consultation. The Company has applied judgement and used assumptions to conclude that it is the principal in the doctor services operating segments.

(3) The Company provided marketing and technology support services to Mednow West and Mednow East pursuant to the pharmacy agreement discussed in Note 20.

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

29

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

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.

(4) Pursuant to its franchise agreement with Pharmacie Raji Al-Kurdi Inc. ("franchisee"), the Company provided the franchisee with the (i) license to use the Company's intellectual property, including its web and mobile application, to access patients in the province of Quebec, (ii) pharmacy training materials, (iii) marketing and promotional materials, and (iv) shared support services, such as resources for payroll, accounting and technology functions. Revenue from the franchise agreement is comprised of royalty revenue pursuant to the franchise agreement, and a monthly fee for shared support services. The Company's franchised retail brick-and-mortar pharmacy is located in Saint-Laurent, Quebec.

Revenue is recognized on prescription and over-the-counter medication sales when control of the goods has been transferred to the patient, which occurs at the time the point of sale is made. For walk-in patients this occurs at the time the product is delivered, and for ship to orders this occurs when the product has been delivered. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to, net of sales tax, discounts, and sales adjustments. The Company does not have the practice of providing returns.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales is comprised of the product cost of goods sold in Company-owned retail pharmacy stores through online and walk-in channels. Products sold at the Company's retail pharmacy stores primarily consist of prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Cost of sales also includes the cost of the consulting fees paid to doctors for virtual care and telemedicine services, as well as doctor home visits.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs, reported under General and Administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, include costs associated with business combinations, whether completed or not, such as advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees.

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 as 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.

30

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

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, 2022 and July 31, 2021, were not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

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.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements 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.

31

MEDNOW INC. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021

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 consolidated statements 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).

The Company invested $1,120,000 to develop its technological infrastructure, including its web and mobile application, and $418,000 to expand its product offerings to over-the-counter medications and other medical services. The actual costs are higher than the original estimate due to upgrades and enhancements to the Company's application in areas such as cyber security, data privacy, improvements to the user experience and quality of the technology relative to market competitors.

The Company incurred marketing costs of $3,057,698, which is higher than the original estimate of $773,000. As at July 31, 2022, the Company operates retail pharmacies in the provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Company launched national marketing campaigns to acquire new patients and users of its application, and to increase brand exposure across Canada in a bid to increase sales.

These adjustments to calculate the non-IFRS measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are for items that are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance. As there is no generally accepted or standard method of calculating EBITDA, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other issuers. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as management believes it is a useful indicator of the Company’s relative financial performance. These measures should not be considered by an investor as an alternative to net income or other IFRS financial measures as determined in accordance with IFRS.

The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to indicate ongoing financial performance from period to period, including comparative prior year periods. The Company has disclosed certain non-IFRS measures on this report, including the disclosure of non-IFRS financial measures for prior year comparative periods.
