BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. (“BioHEP” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act as a private company on February 11, 2014. On April 11, 2014, the Company completed a Plan of Arrangement (“Arrangement”) with Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (“Global”) (formerly Carrus Capital Corporation). Under the terms of the Arrangement, the Company received substantially all of Global’s interest in the SB-9000 technologies by way of a statutory arrangement to allow Global to divest itself of certain biotechnology assets with $nil carrying value, its investment in Spring Bank Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Spring Bank”) of $1,000 and $5,000 cash to the Company. As consideration for the SB-9000 technologies, the Company issued 2,845,378 common shares to Global (“Arrangement Shares”), which were then distributed to the shareholders of Global pro rata based on their relative shareholdings of Global.

As a result of completing the Arrangement and subsequent to issuing the Arrangement Shares, the Company became a reporting issuer in the jurisdictions of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

On March 3, 2021, the Company and Next Hydrogen Corporation (“Next Hydrogen”) entered into a definitive amalgamation agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”), pursuant to which Next Hydrogen and the Company’s newly-formed subsidiary, 1291549 BC Ltd. shall amalgamate to form a subsidiary of BioHEP (“Amalco”) and the shareholders of Next Hydrogen shall receive common shares of the Company.

On April 12, 2021, the Company received shareholder approval to the plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) to transfer all its assets, except for $500,000 cash, and its liabilities to the newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company 1291549 B.C. Ltd. (“BC1291549”) pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement. In exchange, BC1291549 shall issue shares to the shareholders of the Company on a pro rata basis.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive one share of each of BC1291549 for every BioHEP share held as of the share distribution record date (as that term is defined in the Company’s information circular dated as of March 11, 2021). In addition, each outstanding BioHEP option to acquire one common share of BioHEP shall be deemed to be exchanged for one replacement BioHep option to acquire one BioHEP share and one BC1291549 option to acquire one BC1291549 share.

On April 14, 2021, the Company obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia to the implementation of the Arrangement. The Company shall focus on completing the amalgamation with Next Hydrogen and shall carry on business currently carried on by Next Hydrogen, whose principal business is in the development of water electrolysis technology targeted at significantly reducing the cost of hydrogen generation from electrocute sources, including renewal energy at scale.

On April 28, 2021, Amalco completed a private placement of 2,854,500 Subscription Receipts at a price of $10.00 per Subscription Receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds of $28,545,000. As part of the Amalgamation, the Amalco common shares underlying the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

On April 28, 2021, Amalco completed the concurrent private placement of 2,700,000 Subscription Receipts at a price of $10.00 per Subscription Receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds of $27,000,000. As part of the Amalgamation, the BioHep Subco Common Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Resulting Issuer Common Shares.

The Company’s head office is located at 440-890 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1J9.

COVID-19

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. As at the date of this report, the Company has not been significantly impacted by the spread of COVID19. However, the duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

[a] Statement of compliance

These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

[b] Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

[c] Functional and foreign currency

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit or loss.

[d] Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company reviews its estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis.

Critical Judgments

The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

  • i. Research costs are recognized as an expense when incurred but development costs may be capitalized as intangible assets if certain conditions are met as described in IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Management has determined that development costs do not meet the conditions for capitalization under IAS 38 and all research and development costs have or will been expensed when incurred.

  • ii. Management is required to assess the functional currency of the Company. In concluding that the Canadian dollars is the functional currency of the Company, management considered the currency that mainly influences the operating expenditures in the jurisdiction in which the Company operates.

  • iii. Management is required to determine whether or not the going concern assumption is appropriate for the Company at the end of each reporting period. Considerations taken into account include available information about the future including the availability of financing and revenue projection, as well as liquidity of its assets, current working capital balance and future commitments of the Company.

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

  2. iv. Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets.

Estimates

The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the current and next fiscal financial years:

  • i. Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxation authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

  • ii. Management uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of investment in warrants, which requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, risk-free interest rates and forfeiture rates. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s results of operations.

  • iii. The Company estimates whether its biotechnology assets has an indefinite or finite life. When the intangible assets have a finite life, management estimates the expected useful life and amortization methods which are applied.

[d] Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

  • iv. Determining whether any charge to impairment against the Company’s biotechnology assets requires management to estimate the recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher of fair value less the cost of disposal or value in use. Many factors used in assessing recoverable amounts are outside of the control of management and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change from period to period. During the year ended January 31, 2021, the remaining balance of the biotechnology assets was written-off (note 7).

[a] Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks, cash on hand, treasury bills, and highlight liquid money market funds convertible into cash in less than one month. Interest income is earned on short term investments recorded as cash equivalents and is recognized when incurred.

[b] Financial instruments

Recognition and measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). A financial liability is classified as measured at: amortized cost or FVTPL. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument.

Transaction costs are included in the initial carrying value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost and effectively amortized through profit or loss over the life of the instrument. For financial instruments measured at FVOCI, transaction costs are recognized in OCI as part of a change in fair value at the next remeasurement. For financial instruments measured at FVTPL, transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial instruments are recognized initially on trade date, which is the date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Classification of financial assets

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

  • A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on the specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. The Company has elected that its investment in F-Star Therapeutics (previously known as Spring Banks) meets the definition and has elected the investment to be FVOCI.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments, other than investment in F-Star Therapeutics have been classified as measured at FVTPL.

[b] Financial instruments (continued)

Classification of financial liabilities

A financial liability is generally measured at amortized cost, with exceptions that may allow for classification as FVTPL or designation at FVTPL. These exceptions include financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, such as derivatives that are liabilities, and financial liabilities that have been designated as measured at FVTPL. The Company, at initial recognition, may irrevocably designate a financial liability as measured at FVTPL when doing so results in more relevant information.

The Company has classified account payables and accrued liabilities as measured at amortized cost.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the contractual rights to those assets are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

[c] Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Amortization is provide on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the patents which range from 2- 4 years.

[d] Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

[e] Provisions

Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions will be measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The increase in any provision due to the passage of time is recognized as accretion expense. Each provision will be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

[f] Share capital

Common shares and obligation to issue shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and common share warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for non-monetary consideration are measured based on their market value at the date the common shares are issued.

The proceeds from the issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to the more easily measurable component, the common share, based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are priced and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of warrants is recorded in share capital, and any related amount recorded in warrants reserve is transferred to share capital.

[g] Share-based payments

The Company grants stock options to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The fair value of the options granted to employees is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized immediately when the employees earn the options. The fair value is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest.

The fair value of the options granted to non-employees are 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.

The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Any consideration received on the exercise of stock options together with the related portion of reserves is credited to share capital.

[h] Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the years presented.

BioHEP Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

[i] Income taxes

Income tax on profit or loss for the period presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized as equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to prior years.

Deferred tax is provided using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position.

[j] Related party transactions

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 are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. 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. Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the fair value of goods and services provided.

[k] Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset over a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the term of the contract and it has the right to direct the use of the asset.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. The right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined the incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments, and amounts expected to be payable at the end of the lease term. The Company does not recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As at April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any leases.

[l] Reclassification of comparatives

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation, such as the exploration advance and the exploration and evaluation assets have been aggregated. This reclassification had no effect on the reported results of operations.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair value Measurement

The Company classifies its financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy as a framework for disclosing fair value of financial instruments based on inputs used to value the Company’s investments. The hierarchy of inputs and description of inputs is described as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Financial risk management

A summary of the Company's risk exposures as they relate to financial instruments is reflected below:

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 discharge an obligation. As at April 30, 2021, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents. The Company reduces its credit risk by holding its cash and cash equivalents at a major Canadian financial institution and its money market funds are held within a notable low risk fund.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company intends to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. As at April 30, 2021, the Company has a working capital of $1,052,078.

The Company currently has adequate cash and cash equivalents to meet its current business requirements. At April 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $515,393 and accounts payable of $187,998, accrued liabilities of $13,000 and due to the related parties $5,300. All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days, interest expense is due annually and taxes are due within two months of year end.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Market risk

Market risk consists of currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. These are discussed further below.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. As at January 31, 2021, the Company held 63,750 shares in a NASDAQ listed company with a market value of US$9.68 per share, 50,000 shares with value US$11.11, 35,852 warrants with a weighted average fair value of US$1.11 per warrant and cash US $366,801. The Company therefore has exposure to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar - United States dollar exchange rate. The Company has determined that a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would affect the fair value of total assets by approximately $194,096.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

  • (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk. The Company is exposed to other price risk on its investments due to fluctuations in the current market prices and fluctuations in trading volumes of those securities.

11.SEGMENTED REPORTING

The Company has one operating segment, investment in biotechnology, and all assets of the Company are located in Canada.

12.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 7, 2021 the company changed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary 1291549 B.C. Ltd to Formation Acquisitions Inc. On June 21, 2021 shareholders of the company received one share of Formation Acquisitions Inc. for each one share of the company totalling 9,952,708 shares.

On June 24, 2021 the company consolidated its share capital on a 13.3 old for one new share, changed its name to Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. and issued 37,896 shares in respect of stock options exercised at an exercise price of $2.13 per share to bring the total issued share capital to 7 48,324 shares.
