Vector develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm. Vector's product platform has two products under development:
LASS Platform
The LASS Platform is an atomizing solution system designed to deliver therapeutics/anesthetics in a manner that infiltrates tissue to have a specific therapeutic effect. VectorMist is the first product in the LASS Platform. VectorMist is a catheter-based laparoscopic atomizing solution system that is a surgeon/anesthesiologist-defined combination per the LASSO Protocol and that is inserted into a laparoscopic port. It is designed for targeted delivery of atomized therapeutics directly into the surgical field during laparoscopic procedures. This novel approach provides access to the operative field for hernia repairs, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and other procedures. Tissue infiltration without systemic exposure, delivering an analgesic effect that is faster and lasts longer (extending the pain mitigation window into the postoperative recovery phase), resulting in faster patient recovery and quicker recovery-unit discharge.
Vector Biomechanical Transdermal Platform (BTP)
The Vector BTP delivers therapeutic effects as (a) a standalone technology, as a synergistic complement to therapeutic peptides; and (b) as a partner to pharmaceuticals.

OSA Option Plan
OSA has in place the 10% rolling OSA Option Plan, which was approved by the OSA Board and OSA Shareholders. A summary of the material provisions of the OSA Option Plan is as follows:
a) the OSA Option Plan reserves, for issue pursuant to OSA Options, a maximum number of OSA Shares equal to 10% of the outstanding OSA Shares from time to time;
b) an optionee must either be a director, senior officer, employee, management company employee or consultant of OSA at the time the OSA Option is granted in order to be eligible;
c) in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4, the OSA Option Plan provides that as long as the OSA remains a Capital Pool Company (as defined by the Exchange), no OSA Options may be granted to any eligible person under the OSA Option Plan, unless such person has entered into an escrow agreement agreeing to deposit the OSA Options and any OSA Shares issuable thereunder into escrow;
d) the maximum aggregate number of OSA Shares issuable pursuant to all security-based compensation (including OSA Options) granted to any one person in any 12-month period may not exceed 5% of the outstanding OSA Shares at the time of grant without Disinterested Shareholder Approval;
e) the maximum aggregate number of OSA Shares issuable pursuant to all security-based compensation (including OSA Options) granted to any one Consultant (as defined by the Exchange) in any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding OSA Shares at the time of grant;
f) as long as OSA remains a Capital Pool Company (as defined by the Exchange), OSA shall not grant any OSA Options to Investor Relations Service Provider (as defined by the Exchange). If OSA completes a Qualifying Transaction (as defined by the Exchange) and is no longer a Capital Pool Company, the maximum aggregate number of OSA Options granted to all Investor Relations Service Providers in any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding OSA Shares at the time of grant;
g) Investor Relations Service Providers (as defined by the Exchange) may not receive any compensation involving the issuance or potential issuance of OSA Shares, other than OSA Options;
h) the aggregate number of OSA Shares reserved for issue to insiders must not exceed 10% of the issued OSA Shares at any point in time without Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined in the OSA Option Plan);
i) the aggregate number of OSA Shares issuable pursuant to all security-based compensation (including OSA Options) granted to insiders (as a group) in a 12-month period must not exceed 10% of the issued OSA Shares, calculated at the time of grant, without Disinterested Shareholder Approval;
j) the OSA Option Plan provides that no OSA Options may be granted under the OSA Option Plan until the requisite yearly shareholder approval of the OSA Option Plan has been obtained;
k) the exercise price per OSA Share for an OSA Option shall be determined by the OSA Board and may not be less than the Discounted Market Price (as determined pursuant to the policies of the Exchange), subject to the minimum exercise price permitted under the policies of the Exchange at the time of grant. This is an amendment to the current Stock Option Plan which also contemplates that the minimum exercise price shall not be less than $0.10;
l) OSA Options may have a term not exceeding ten (10) years;
m) OSA Options issued to Investor Relations Service Providers (as defined by the Exchange) must vest such that: (i) no more than ¼ of the OSA Options vest no sooner than three months after the OSA Options were granted; (ii) no more than another ¼ of the OSA Options vest no sooner than six months after the OSA Options were granted; (iii) no more than another ¼ of the OSA Options vest no sooner than nine months
- 26 -
after the OSA Options were granted; and (iv) the remainder of the OSA Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the OSA Options were granted;
n) other than in the case of (i) death, (ii) termination for cause, or (iii) as a result of prevention by order of a regulatory authority with appropriate jurisdiction, OSA Options will cease to be exercisable no later than the earlier of the Expiry Date (as defined in the OSA Option Plan) and 90 days after the optionee ceases to be a Director, Officer, Employee, Consultant, or Management Company Employee (each as defined in OSA Option Plan) or for a “reasonable period” (not exceeding 12-months) after the optionee ceases to serve in such capacity, as determined by the OSA Board;
o) OSA Options are non-assignable and non-transferable;
p) the OSA Option Plan contains a “cashless exercise” provision and a “net exercise” provision. The “cashless exercise” provision provides a mechanism for a brokerage firm to facilitate the exercise of an OSA Option by loaning funds to the optionee. The “net exercise” provision allows for a method of OSA Option exercise under which the optionee does not make any payment to the issuer for the exercise of their OSA Options and receives, on exercise, a number of OSA Shares equal to the value (current market price less the exercise price) of the OSA Option valued at the current market price. The current market price must be the 5-day volume weighted average trading price prior to OSA Option exercise. The “net exercise” provision is not available for use by Investor Relations Service Providers (as defined by the Exchange);
q) the OSA Option Plan contains provisions for adjustment (subject to prior Exchange acceptance, if applicable) in the number of OSA Shares or other property issuable on exercise of OSA Options in the event of a share consolidation, split, reclassification or other relevant change in the OSA Shares, or a stock dividend, arrangement, amalgamation, merger or combination, or other relevant change in OSA’s corporate structure, or any other relevant change in OSA’s capitalization; and
r) Disinterested Shareholder Approval will be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of, or extension to the term of, a OSA Option if the optionee is an insider of OSA at the time of the proposed amendment, (ii) for any amendment resulting in a benefit to an insider of OSA, and (iii) for any increase to the limits prescribed by the OSA Option Plan, including any grant that would result in such limits being exceeded, and for any other type of compensation granted through the issuance of OSA Shares.
As of the date of this Filing Statement, OSA has granted 350,000 OSA Options to its directors and officers to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 OSA Shares pursuant to the OSA Option Plan, exercisable until July 27, 2032 at an exercise price of $0.10 per OSA Share.

Description of the Business
What Vector Does
Vector Science & Therapeutics develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug and peptide delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm. All products are beyond prototype phase.
Vector is committed to improving the lives of patients and the practice of medicine by developing and commercializing technologies that improve clinical outcomes, reduce the economic burden of treatment for patients and payers, and leverage insight secured across the patient's journey with Vector's products to equip medical professionals to deliver personalized intervention.
What Problem is Vector Addressing



Most drugs and therapeutics are delivered either orally (pills or capsules) or via injection. These systemic methods do not target the specific site or tissue intended for treatment. Systemic delivery exposes the entire body to the drug, creating significant risk for drug-to-drug and drug-to-disease complications.
When multiple medications circulate systemically, they can compete for the same metabolic pathways, leading to unpredictable interactions that can diminish therapeutic efficacy or amplify toxicity. Similarly, systemic exposure can exacerbate comorbid conditions, as medications intended for one disease may adversely affect another condition the patient is managing. These complications are particularly pronounced in elderly and chronically ill populations and patients with multiple diseases requiring polypharmacy.
The economic burden of these complications is substantial. In the United States, adverse drug reactions cause approximately 4 hospitalizations per 1,000 people annually and rank among the top 10 causes of death, with associated costs estimated between $30 billion and $180 billion per year. $^{1}$ The opioid epidemic further compounds these challenges, costing Americans an estimated $2.7 trillion in 2023, equivalent to $9.7\%$ of GDP, through healthcare expenditures, lost productivity, and premature death. $^{2}$
Vector's Product Platforms and Applications
Vector develops non-systemic delivery technologies that target specific tissues and regions of the body without relying on traditional injection or oral dosing. By taking a targeted approach, Vector's offerings aim to deliver precise doses while reducing the side effects associated with systemic exposure. Vector's sustained-release capabilities extend therapeutic duration, decreasing the need for multiple doses, improving treatment compliance, and reducing the potential for drug abuse.
Three principles define how Vector delivers therapeutic advantage across every product in its portfolio:
- 32 -
SMART
Adaptive. Data-driven. Patient-responsive.
Smart delivery means the platform optimizes the therapeutic effect in response to measurable physiological signals rather than relying on population-average dosing schedules.
MECHANISM
Biomarker-responsive dosing
CLINICAL BENEFIT
Optimized therapeutic index per patient
ADVANTAGE
Eliminates fixed-protocol underdosing and overdosing risk
EXPRESSED IN · VectorMist · Biomechanical Module · Transdermal Platform
STEERED
Site-directed. Non-systemic. On target.
Steered delivery is not simply local administration; it is mechanically guided delivery to a precise anatomical target, enabling therapeutic concentrations at the site while eliminating systemic drug burden.
MECHANISM
Mechanically guided non-systemic delivery
CLINICAL BENEFIT
Full therapeutic concentration at target; zero systemic burden
ADVANTAGE
Directly supports 510(k) non-systemic classification
EXPRESSED IN · VectorMist · Biomechanical Module · Transdermal Platform

LASS Platform
The LASS Platform is an atomizing solution system designed to deliver therapeutics/anesthetics in a manner that infiltrates tissue to have a specific therapeutic effect. VectorMist is the first product in the LASS Platform.
VectorMist is a catheter-based system designed for targeted delivery of atomized therapeutics directly into the surgical field during laparoscopic procedures. This novel approach provides access to the operative field for procedures such as hernia repairs and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A prototype of VectorMist is shown below.

The device delivers an atomized combination of drugs through the catheter into the operating field, with the specific therapeutic combination determined by the surgeon and anesthesiologist during surgery. A visual of the device is shown below.

By delivering medication directly to the target tissue rather than systemically, patients experience less nausea, faster recovery, and shorter stays in the recovery unit. Direct tissue infiltration also produces a quicker onset of analgesia, longer duration and minimal exposure of drug influence on non-targeted organs.
With approximately 15 million laparoscopic surgeries performed each year globally, nearly 5 million in the United States, VectorMist addresses a substantial market opportunity.
VectorMist is designed and Vector has a design lock down on the atomizing device. Performance testing is completed and commercial production catheters have been made. Additionally, Vector has a tray design with samples made.
VectorMist pursues 510(k) clearance as Class II medical device claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices for local anesthetic delivery. As such, pre-market approval, required for high-risk, Class III devices, is not required for VectorMist. This pathway typically requires six to twelve months from submission to clearance.
The 510(k) submission presents a clear compelling case for substantial equivalence including device description with specifications, substantial equivalence discussion, biocompatibility summary, performance testing results, clinical data, proposed labeling, and quality system information. Vector’s submission strategy emphasizes completeness and clarity, anticipating reviewer questions. Regulatory consultants review draft submissions identifying potential deficiencies before formal submission.
Based on the above productization, the VectorMist timeline from current state to commercial launch spans approximately three to six months. Vector has substantially prepared the file for the first 510(k). As the FDA has 90 days to respond, Vector has assumed 180 days for approval and a launch in early calendar Q4 2026.
The LASSO Protocol
Establishing the LASSO Protocol as the clinical standard requires deliberate engagement of the surgeons and institutions who shape peer behavior, generate publishable evidence, and set the expectations of early adopters in laparoscopic surgery.
Vector will target the participation of surgeons, institutions and medical professionals, focusing on the following:
- High-volume laparoscopic surgeons (the clinical champions)
General and minimally invasive surgeons performing 20 or more laparoscopic cases per month are the primary target. These practitioners have the procedure volume to generate outcomes data rapidly, the peer credibility to influence adoption within their practice group, and the clinical authority to champion protocol changes in their ASC or hospital system. Early adopters become the reference surgeons who anchor VectorMist’s published case series and registry data.
- Anesthesiology partners (the perioperative integrators)
Anesthesiologists control perioperative pain management protocols and are natural allies in opioid-sparing initiatives. Their endorsement of the LASSO Protocol as a multimodal analgesia component is intended to validate the pharmacologic rationale for atomized delivery and creates a cross-disciplinary adoption pathway. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol committees within health systems represent a structured entry point for institutional integration.
- Surgical Society Key Opinion Leaders (“KOLs”) (the protocol validators)
KOLs affiliated with Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeon, American College of Surgeons, and specialty societies carry disproportionate influence over protocol adoption across the surgical community. Engaging two to four KOLs to present LASSO Protocol outcomes at major annual meetings creates a peer-validation halo that accelerates adoption beyond what direct sales can achieve. Podium presentations and peer-reviewed publications authored by recognized names establish scientific legitimacy.
- ASC Medical Directors (the institutional gatekeepers)
Medical directors at high-volume laparoscopic ASCs function as both clinical leaders and operational decision-makers. Their adoption of the LASSO Protocol as a facility standard drives systematic, repeatable use across every surgeon on staff, multiplying impact beyond a single champion relationship. Clinical data identifying top-volume laparoscopic ASCs enables precision targeting of these influencers at the facility level.

Vector Biomechanical Transdermal Platform
The Vector BTP delivers therapeutic effects as (a) a standalone technology, (b) a synergistic complement to therapeutic peptides, and (c) a partner to pharmaceuticals. Built on three core principles, Smart, Steered, and Sustained delivery, the device provides therapeutic benefit through its biomechanical action while simultaneously enabling targeted transdermal drug delivery with attributes which favor tissue permeability:
- Smart: The platform incorporates intelligence through biomarker monitoring that optimizes biomechanical dosing in real time, ensuring patients receive optimized therapeutic levels. The BTP's built-in capability to track utilization and monitor biomarkers such as gait quality as a surrogate for pain enables real-time adherence monitoring and outcome validation.
- Steered: Therapeutics are directed into targeted tissue, bypassing systemic circulation and concentrating medication where it is needed most while minimizing exposure to non-targeted areas.
- Sustained: Using a combination of patent-pending molecular transport technologies, the device enables controlled delivery aimed at maintaining consistent therapeutic levels over time.
This approach offers significant advantages over traditional oral and injectable routes, including improved bioavailability, reduced side effects, enhanced patient compliance, and the elimination of painful injections. A photo of the Vector BTP and its interaction with a mobile device is set out below.

The Vector BTP is in the development stage. Vector has various design prototypes and circuits which have been tested and function as intended. Vector still has substantial work needed to get to commercial-ready prototypes. Vector expects to achieve design lock down in calendar year 2027.
To achieve FDA compliance, Vector will first file as a device for mechanical pain management without drug delivery. This sets Vector up for an easier path with the drug delivery, given the device will already be approved. Vector expects to file on the non-drug delivery device in early 2027. The filing on the drug delivery is anticipated in late 2027.
As standalone therapeutic device, the Vector BTP likely qualifies for $510(\mathrm{k})$ clearance claiming substantial equivalence to physical therapy modalities including ultrasound, pulsed electromagnetic field, or other energy-based therapeutic devices. When used as drug delivery platform, the BTP may pursue $510(\mathrm{k})$ as drug delivery system, with specific drug-device combinations potentially requiring separate submissions or falling under pharmaceutical partner filings.
The BTP standalone development targets design verification and validation within 15 to 18 months, pilot clinical studies within 24 months, 510(k) submission within 30 months, FDA clearance and commercial launch within 36 months. Drug delivery platform development through pharmaceutical partnerships has longer timelines with pharmacokinetic studies within twenty-four months, Phase II efficacy studies within 36 to 48 months, and regulatory submissions within 48 to 60 months.
Testing and Validation of Vector Products
Design verification and validation of Vector’s products follow FDA guidance and ISO 13485 requirements. For VectorMist, verification confirms atomization particle size distribution, flow rates, catheter integrity, drug delivery accuracy, and sterility maintenance. Validation demonstrates the device performs as intended in actual surgical conditions including field coverage, tissue penetration, therapeutic duration, and user satisfaction.
For the BTP, verification confirms biomechanical energy delivery, biomarker monitoring accuracy, utilization tracking reliability, and drug delivery profiles. Validation demonstrates therapeutic benefit as standalone intervention, outcome improvements with drug delivery, adherence monitoring correlation with outcomes, and workflow integration across clinical settings.
Biocompatibility testing of Vector’s products follows ISO 10993 standards appropriate to device classification and contact duration. Electrical safety for the transdermal device follows IEC 60601 standards. Software validation follows IEC 62304 standards. Usability engineering follows FDA human factors guidance, with formative studies informing design and summative validation confirming safe effective use across user groups.
Pivotal studies for 510(k) clearance enroll one hundred fifty to two hundred patients across five to seven sites including academic and community hospitals. Study design emphasizes pragmatic endpoints meaningful to clinical practice. Primary effectiveness endpoints demonstrate non-inferiority or superiority for analgesia duration and opioid consumption. Primary safety endpoints address adverse events. Secondary endpoints measure recovery time, length of stay, satisfaction, and health economics.
Clinical Development
The Vector BTP pursues parallel tracks validating standalone therapeutic benefit and demonstrating enhanced drug delivery through pharmaceutical partnerships. Standalone device validation begins with pilot studies in collegiate athletes with acute musculoskeletal injuries, comparing device treatment to standard care. Enrollment of forty to sixty athletes allows comparison of recovery time, return to play, pain trajectories, and functional outcomes through gait analysis.
Subsequent studies expand to workers' compensation patients, older adults with osteoarthritis, and post-surgical orthopedic patients, emphasizing return to work, healthcare utilization, satisfaction, and total costs. Biomarker monitoring provides objective outcomes differentiating our device from competitors unable to document adherence or quantify functional improvement.
Drug delivery platform studies can occur through pharmaceutical partnerships with study design tailored to specific drugs and indications. Early-phase pharmacokinetic studies compare transdermal delivery to existing formulations. Efficacy studies compare drug-device combinations to standard care using regulatory-endorsed endpoints.
Marketing Strategy
The anticipated launch date of VectorMist is early calendar Q4, 2026. The VectorMist target markets will be ASCs, academic medical centers and hospitals performing high volumes of laparoscopic procedures. Although not technically required for regulatory approval, the VectorMist’s clinical development follows a staged approach generating evidence supporting FDA clearance while building adoption momentum. Clinical specialists are intended to provide training and support to ensure successful adoption and consistent outcomes. The below chart sets out the current distribution, projected annual growth and strategic relevance for VectorMist.

| Facility Type | Description & Common Procedures | Facility's Market Share of Surgical Procedures | Annual Growth | Strategic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASCs | Fastest-growing setting. CMS expanding approved procedure list; payers actively pushing volume here due to cost advantages. | 72% | +2.5%/yr | Primary VectorMist target. Highest volume, most autonomous surgeons. Physician-owned model reduces VAC friction. Clinical support group can identity high volume ASC sites for prioritized outreach. |
| Hospital Outpatient Departments | Large, established segment. Same-day surgery now standard for lower-complexity cases, though losing share to ASCs on cost grounds. | 18% | +1.8%/yr | Secondary target. Higher institutional complexity with VAC involvement likely. Strong for outcomes data collection and thought leadership given academic HOPD affiliation. |
| Hospital Inpatient | Declining share as cases migrate outward. Remains home to highest-complexity and highest-quality laparoscopic cases. | 10% | -1.0%/yr | Lower priority for early adoption. Complex cases involve longer operative times and conversion risk. Potential for expanded indication as VectorMist clinical data matures. |
The Vector BTP target markets are segments where objective outcome tracking provides maximum competitive advantage, including professional and collegiate athletic programs, physical therapy practices, sports medicine clinics, occupational health programs, and workers' compensation carriers. Professional and collegiate athletic programs represent an ideal initial target because these organizations already invest in advanced rehabilitation technologies and face increasing pressure to demonstrate return on investment. Workers' compensation programs represent a second priority segment where the device's outcome tracking capabilities directly address payer demands for demonstrated efficacy and cost-effectiveness. The sales model of Vector BTP will utilize the phased approach of the VectorMist product, while adapting to differing buying dynamics.
Vector's marketing strategy also is intended to emphasize thought leadership development through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations at major medical meetings, white papers on biomechanical drug delivery science, and case studies demonstrating clinical outcomes.
In the medical devices industry, both Vector's chief executive officer and chief commercial officer have extensive marketing experience and have developed multiple multi sales channels. Further, they have established clinical and distribution relationships that will be leveraged as Vector moves to full operations, distribution and sales.
In connection with VectorMist and the BTP, Vector holds two primary patent applications in the United States:
- Multimodal neuromodulatory pain management and active vectored transdermal pharmaceutical platform delivery system; and
- Interoperative drug delivery catheter for spraying fluid-based medicine into endoscopic body cavities.
Vector intends to file additional patent applications in 2026.
Supply Chain and Quality Assurance
Critical VectorMist components include medical-grade tubing, atomization nozzles, sterile packaging, and drug vials. Supplier selection emphasizes quality history, regulatory compliance, financial stability, and growth capacity. Vector’s preferred suppliers demonstrate ISO 13485 certification, medical device relationships, validation support willingness, and competitive pricing.
Initially, Vector’s design controls, testing and overall quality assurance are achieved through its existing relationship with MPP Group through quality agreements, in order to define responsibilities to ensure the devices meet specifications, including product specifications emphasizing atomization performance, manufacturing process descriptions, change control procedures, non-conformance handling, audit rights, regulatory inspection support, and document control. Agreements address out-of-specification atomization results, process deviations, complaints potentially related to atomization, and supply disruptions. During 2026 and 2027 (and thereafter, if necessary) Vector plans to re-evaluate this alliance to ensure continued economies and efficiencies remain and if not, will look to integrating this outsourced process in house.
Vector's quality management system follows FDA Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485 standards and cGMP, establishing policies and procedures governing activities affecting product quality. The system addresses management responsibility, design and development controls, purchasing and supplier management, production and process controls, acceptance activities, corrective and preventive action, and document and record control.
Implementation Roadmap
Year 1 (2026) is intended to establish commercial infrastructure for VectorMist while advancing transdermal platform development, including the: (a) recruitment of initial regional sales leaders; (b) formation of a Scientific Advisory Board; (c) securing FDA clearances for VectorMist; (d) launching Vector’s corporate website; (e) creating marketing materials; (f) publishing foundational research; and (g) securing further funding. Vector’s sales force is expected to increase with focus on early adopter ambulatory surgery centers.
Year 2 (2027) will focus on scaling VectorMist commercialization and initiates transdermal partnerships. Vector intends to expand to national sales coverage with up to twenty-five representatives, negotiate group purchasing organization contracts with major group purchasing organizations, publish VectorMist outcomes data and present at major conferences, execute two to three pharmaceutical partnership agreements for transdermal platform, expand Vector’s team with a vice president of business development and medical affairs professionals, and build payor evidence dossiers.
Year 3 (2028) will emphasize market leadership for VectorMist and acceleration of the Vector BTP commercialization. Vector intends to increase utilization within existing accounts, begin international expansion, establish manufacturing partnerships, advance lead transdermal program through clinical development toward regulatory submission, expand transdermal pipeline with additional indications and partners, secure growth capital financing, and build commercial organization infrastructure for direct commercialization of certain transdermal products. International expansion would require Conformité Européenne marking for European Union sales, Health Canada approval for Canada, Therapeutic Goods Administration approval for Australia, and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency approval for Japan. Vector’s international strategy would leverage its existing US approval data in order to minimize duplicative testing. Additionally, Vector would rely on regulatory consultants to guide submissions addressing country-specific requirements.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Vector Board performs the duties of a compensation committee, as such entities do not have a defined compensation committee. The purpose of this compensation discussion and analysis is to provide information about executive compensation philosophy, objectives and processes and to discuss compensation decisions relating to Vector’s senior officers and directors for the financial year ended August 31, 2025.
The Vector Board did not establish any quantifiable criteria during the financial year ended August 31, 2025 with respect to base compensation payable, bonuses, director fees, or the amount of equity compensation granted to Named Executive Officers or directors and did not benchmark against a peer group of companies.
Vector has not adopted an incentive stock option plan. Vector does not maintain any defined benefit, contribution, or pension plans and no Named Executive Officer or director of Vector was eligible for any payments or other benefits in connection with retirement under any defined benefit, contribution, or pension plan during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, or at any time from August 31, 2025 to the date of this Filing Statement.
Compensation Governance
The Vectors Board administers Vector’s executive compensation program and is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and making decisions with respect to the compensation policies and practices of Vector and annually reviewing and approving the remuneration of the senior officers of Vector.

Philosophy and Objectives
The Vector Board oversees executive compensation in accordance with the terms of consulting and management consulting agreements between Vector and its directors and named executive officers. These agreements govern compensation arrangements approved by the Board, with the objective of supporting Vector's operations and aligning the interests of management and shareholders through prudent governance and clear contractual terms. Achievement of corporate objectives is expected to contribute to shareholder value.
Elements of Executive Compensation
Vector provides its executive officers with fixed compensation consisting of fees as set out in their respective consulting and management consulting agreements approved by the Vector Board. The amount, timing, and any adjustments to such compensation are determined pursuant to those agreements and applicable corporate approvals. For more information on such agreements, see the section under the heading “Information Concerning Vector – Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements” below.
Risks
The Vector Board recognizes that compensation structures can create incentives for inappropriate or excessive risk-taking. Vector mitigates this risk by establishing executive fees under written consulting and management consulting agreements approved by the Vector Board. These agreements set out fixed compensation parameters, scope of services, and approval and review mechanisms, which provide clear governance over compensation and limit discretion.
Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities
No option-based awards or share-based awards value vested during the financial year ended August 31, 2025, and no non-equity incentive plan compensation was earned during the financial year ended August 31, 2025 for any Named Executive Officer or director of Vector.

Legal Proceedings

Business Objectives & Milestones
The business objectives that the Resulting Issuer expects to accomplish over the next twelve (12) months using the available funds described below under the heading "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Available Funds and Principal Purposes" include the following.
The Resulting Issuer expects to accomplish a number of key strategic objectives over the coming 12 months:
LASS Platform/VectorMist
- Completion of discussions with FDA regarding Q-submission (a Q-submission a document companies are allowed to submit to the FDA free of charge, in an attempt to clarify areas where the submitter may have concerns and want guidance from the FDA. By doing this, the concerns are addressed in advance of making an FDA submission and it is more likely the submission will proceed with fewer questions from the FDA);
- Finalization of packaging, sterilization validation and accelerated aging for 1-year and 2-year claims;
- Filing of 510(k) with FDA on the atomization device; (a 510(k) is a form of submission for pre-market clearance of a class 2 medical device, the company will typically advise the FDA the product that submission is for is substantially equivalent to another product already approved by the FDA for a similar use. The indications for use will be similar to the substantially equivalent product identified in the submission. This process typically does not require the company to do a clinical trial and results in a fairly fast approval (sometimes as short as 90 days);
- FDA approval in calendar Q4 2026; (an FDA 510(k) approval allows a company to begin to sell its products. It is the critical approval that is required in the United States that allows a company to begin generating revenue from a product. Many countries around the world will allow a company to launch a product in their jurisdiction if the product is 510(k) approved;
- Soft launch of LASS with key influencers;
- Marketing clinical trials;
- Establishment of sales and distribution channel; and
- Full national launch of VectorMist in later calendar Q4 2026.
BTP
- Completion of design of Vector BTP device for non-drug delivery in early calendar Q3 2027; and
- Q-submission completed and submitted to FDA in late calendar Q4 2027.
The net proceeds of the Offering, in addition to other funds available to the Resulting Issuer, are expected to be used to advance the key strategic objectives noted above, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. As previously noted under the "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Available Funds and Principal Purposes" section, the Resulting Issuer expects to spend $2,940,000 or $3,860,000 over the next 12 months to accomplish these strategic objectives, assuming completion of the Minimum Offering or Maximum Offering, respectively.

On June 12, 2020, DelphX made application to the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") with respect to its expected delay in its Relief Filings. On June 17, 2020, the OSC granted a MCTO pursuant to which the DelphX's chief financial officer and chief executive officer would not be able to trade in securities of DelphX until the Relief Filings were made. The MCTO was lifted on July 15, 2020, when DelphX filed its Relief Filings.

- 64 -
(including Stephen Gledhill as chief financial officer) from the direct and indirect trading in and acquisition of BOC’s securities until 2 full days following the receipt by the OSC of BOC’s annual materials (audited financial statements, related management discussion and analysis and applicable officer certificates). Subsequent to the filing of the annual materials, and effective end of day on July 21, 2016, the MCTO was lifted. On May 7, 2024, CO2 was the subject of a proceeding by the OSC whereby a Failure-to-file Cease Trade Order (“FFCTO”) was issued in the matter of CO2’s failure to file its annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The FFCTO prohibited a person or company from trading in the securities of CO2. The FFCTO remains in force. On September 15, 2025, CO2’s shares were transferred for listing on the NEX. On November 18, 2025, CO2 was delisted in accordance with NEX Policy, Section 15. Mr. Gledhill was the chief financial officer and corporate secretary of CO2 from March 2012 until January 2025.
Stephen Gledhill is the subject of a proceeding of a proceeding by the OSC, regarding a MCTO and following FFCTO issued to Bhang Inc. (“Bhang”).

The MCTO prohibited Bhang’s CEO (Graham Simmonds) and CFO (Stephen Gledhill) from the direct and indirect trading in and acquisition of Bhang’s securities until 2 full days following the receipt by the OSC of Bhang’s annual materials (audited financial statements, related management discussion and analysis and applicable officer certificates). Bhang was unable to file its annual materials and on May 5, 2023 and FFCTO was issued and is still in force.
Other than as described below, no proposed director or executive officer of the Resulting Issuer or a securityholder anticipated to hold a sufficient number of securities of the Resulting Issuer to affect materially the control of the Resulting Issuer, or a personal holding company of any such Persons, is or has been within ten (10) years before the date of the Filing Statement, has been a director or executive officer of any Person or Company that, while that Person was acting in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.
On January 12, 2016 (further to an Exchange Bulletin dated January 11, 2016), Gemoscan Canada, Inc.’s (“GES”) shares were suspended from trading on the Exchange for failing to maintain Exchange requirements, GES having made assignment into bankruptcy. Effective January 13, 2016, GES’s listing was transferred to the NEX. Stephen Gledhill served as chief financial officer of GES from August 2010 to November 2015.
Penalties or Sanctions
No proposed director or executive officer of the Resulting Issuer, or a securityholder anticipated to hold sufficient securities of the Resulting Issuer to affect materially the control of the Resulting Issuer, or a personal holding company of any such Persons, has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body, including a self-regulatory body, that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable securityholder making a decision about the Transaction.

Conflicts of Interest
Other than as disclosed below, there are no existing or potential material conflicts of interest between the Resulting Issuer or a subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer and any proposed director, officer or promoter of the Resulting Issuer or
- 65 -
a subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer other than potential conflicts arising from the involvement of certain proposed directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer with other corporations or businesses which may be in competition with the business of the Resulting Issuer.
Accordingly, certain directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer or a subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer may be presented from time to time with situations or opportunities which give rise to apparent conflicts of interest that cannot be resolved by arm's-length negotiations but only through exercise by the officers and directors of such judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Resulting Issuer or subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer, as applicable. These fiduciary duties arise under applicable corporate law, especially insofar as taking advantage, directly or indirectly, of information or opportunities acquired in their capacities as directors or officers of the Resulting Issuer or a subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer. The BCBCA provides that in the event that a director has a material interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement that is material to the issuer, the director shall disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement, subject to and in accordance with the BCBCA. It is expected that all conflicts of interest will be resolved in accordance with the BCBCA. Further, it is expected that transactions with officers and directors will be on terms consistent with industry standards and sound business practice in accordance with the fiduciary duties of those persons to the Resulting Issuer or a subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer, as applicable, and, depending upon the magnitude of the transactions and the absence of any disinterested board members, may be submitted to the shareholders for their approval.

Exchange permitted transfers or dealings within escrow include: (i) transfers to existing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Resulting Issuer or of a material operating subsidiary; (ii) transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan; (iii) transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy or another person entitled to the Resulting Issuer Escrowed Securities on bankruptcy; and (iv) pledges or mortgages to a financial institution as collateral for a loan.

The Resulting Issuer Escrow Agreement may be terminated with respect to all parties in certain circumstances including, without limitation: (i) upon agreement of all parties of the Resulting Issuer Escrow Agreement, provided that (a) the agreement to terminate is evidenced by a memorandum in writing signed by all parties; (b) if the Resulting Issuer is listed on the Exchange, the termination of the Resulting Issuer Escrow Agreement has been consented to in writing by the Exchange; and has been approved by a majority vote of securityholders of the Resulting Issuer excluding in each case, the holders of Resulting Issuer Escrowed Securities; or (ii) when all of the Resulting Issuer Escrowed Securities have been released from escrow pursuant to the Resulting Issuer Escrow Agreement.
Escrow of New Securities
If the Resulting Issuer Escrowed Securities are exchanged for new securities in the event of a business combination, merger, or other similar transaction, the new securities received will be subject to escrow in substitution of the tendered Resulting Issuer Escrowed Securities, unless certain requirements of the Exchange are met, including if the holder does not become a Principal of the successor issuer.
Other Resale Restrictions
An aggregate of 24,208,000 Resulting Issuer Shares held by three non-principal shareholders of the Resulting Issuer are expected to be subject to SSRRs pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.4, as detailed in the table below. Commonly, SSRRs are hold periods imposed by the Exchange which apply where seed shares are issued to non-principals by private companies (in the case of the Transaction, Vector) prior to the completion of a Qualifying Transaction and the terms of the applicable SSRRs are based on the length of time such seed shares have been held by the applicable securityholder, and the original price paid for such seed shares. The below securities are subject to SSRR based on the Exchange's determination that certain securities were issued in connection with the performance of investor relations activities under Exchange Policy 3.4 (see "Information Concerning Vector - Investor Relations Agreements").
| Designation of Class | Aggregate number of securities subject to SSRRs | % of Class (Minimum Offering) | % of Class (Maximum Offering) | Expiry date of SSRRs |

Auditor, Transfer Agent and Registrar
Auditor
It is expected that McGovern Hurley LLP, the current auditors of Vector, will be appointed as auditors of the Resulting Issuer following the closing of the Transaction. Following completion of the Transaction, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer will change its year end from December 31st to August 31st.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
It is expected that Computershare Investor Services Inc. will serve as the Resulting Issuer's registrar and transfer agent upon completion of the Transaction. It is expected that transfers of the securities of the Resulting Issuer may be recorded at registers maintained by Computershare Investor Services Inc. located at 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3B9.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Resulting Issuer Shares should be considered highly speculative, not only due to the nature of Vector's business and operations, but also because of the uncertainty related to completion of the Transaction. In addition to the other information in this Filing Statement, an investor should carefully consider each of, and the cumulative effect of, the following factors, which assume the completion of the Transaction. Except as noted, these risk factors have been drafted in a manner so as to assume the completion of the Transaction.
Risk Factors Relating to OSA
The Transaction May Not Be Completed
Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, certain of which may be outside the control of OSA, including, without limitation, completion of the Offering, and receipt of Exchange approval. There can be no assurance, nor can OSA provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied or that the Transaction will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. The requirement to take certain actions or to agree to certain conditions to satisfy such requirements or obtain any such approvals may have a material adverse effect on the business and affairs of the Resulting Issuer or the trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares.
Final acceptance of the Transaction by the Exchange will be subject to OSA fulfilling all requirements of the Exchange. If such requirements are not met, the Transaction will not be completed. There is no guarantee that OSA will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Exchange such that it will issue the Final Exchange Bulletin.
If the Transaction is not completed, OSA may be liable for significant consulting, accounting and legal costs relating to the Transaction and will not realize anticipated benefits of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed and OSA Board decides to seek another merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party that will agree to equivalent or more attractive terms than those of the Transaction.
Possible Termination of the Acquisition Agreement
Each of OSA and Vector has the right to terminate the Acquisition Agreement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can OSA provide any assurance, that the Acquisition Agreement will not be terminated by either OSA or Vector before the completion of the Transaction. See “The Proposed Transaction – Termination of Acquisition Agreement”.
Limited Operating History
OSA has no assets other than cash. OSA has no history of earnings and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the completion of the Transaction. Until completion of the Transaction, OSA is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential transactions.
Diversion of the Attention of Management
The Transaction could divert the attention of the management of OSA away from their day-to-day operations. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Transaction and could have a material adverse effect on OSA, regardless of whether the Transaction is ultimately completed, or of the Resulting Issuer if the Transaction is completed.
Tax Consequences
The transactions described herein may have tax consequences in Canada, or elsewhere, depending on each particular existing or prospective securityholder's specific circumstances. Such tax consequences are not described herein and this Filing Statement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular securityholder. Existing and prospective securityholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to any such tax considerations.
Risk Factors Relating to the Resulting Issuer
Loss of Material Customers
The Resulting Issuer will carry on the business of Vector, and the post-launch business of Vector will depend on major customers for most of its sales. The loss of all or a substantial portion of Vector's sales from a major customer could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's financial condition and results of operations by reducing cash flows and the Resulting Issuer's ability to spread costs over a larger revenue base. In addition, any dispute with a key customer, or an inability or unwillingness of a key customer to pay for the services of the Resulting Issuer may result in the Resulting Issuer incurring significant write-offs of accounts receivable that may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, Vector's major customers may have an increased ability to influence pricing and other contract terms. Therefore, the renegotiation of a major customer contract may also have an adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's financial results if such renegotiation involves less favourable terms to the Resulting Issuer.
Regulatory Oversight of the Resulting Issuer's Business
- 76 -
The Resulting Issuer’s products are regulated by major regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and is strictly governed by a series of standardized regulations and guidelines to ensure data and product quality including, but not limited to Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) and Good Laboratory Practices. These guidelines are mandatory standards for most regulatory agencies and designed to ensure the highest quality of research and manufacturing for medical devices. These regulations govern the design, development, testing, clinical trials, premarket clearance and approval, safety, marketing and registration of medical devices, in addition to regulating manufacturing practices, reporting, labeling and recordkeeping procedures. The Vector team has experience in the development and commercialization of medical devices under these regulations. The Vector team has put in place infrastructure to ensure compliance with relevant guidelines, including standard operation procedures and third-party audits. Despite these precautions, it is possible that activities conducted internally or by a third party may be non-compliant with industry standard regulations, with significant negative impact on the Resulting Issuer.
The Resulting Issuer’s products are at various stages of development; risk decreases as the product progresses through the various stages of preclinical and clinical development. Clinical trials of the products may not be successful or may result in unfavourable product profiles, resulting in significantly lower commercial opportunity than currently anticipated. Significant delays and inability to fully realize the value of the products may materially harm the business. Vector has committed significant resources, both human and financial, to the acquisition and development of products. The ability to generate revenues from any of these current or future products will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of these products.
During product development, non-compliance with standard guidelines and regulations may invalidate drug product and/or data such that they are not appropriate to support regulatory filings. The Resulting Issuer may be required to repeat development activities as a result, incurring additional development risk and costs. Repeating specific development activities could also delay overall development and commercialization timelines, negatively impacting a product’s revenue potential. Adverse effects on timing and costs could lead to discontinuation of product development. In the event that non-compliance with standard guidelines adversely impacts clinical trial activities and trial participants, the Resulting Issuer could also be exposed to substantial reputational risk and legal liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased demand for any products that it may develop, injury to the Resulting Issuer’s reputation and significant negative media attention, significant costs to defend the related litigation, substantial monetary awards to trial participants, loss of revenue and the inability to commercialize any products that the Resulting Issuer may develop.
For commercial products, non-compliance with standard guidelines and regulations may prevent the Resulting Issuer from releasing product to the market or require the Resulting Issuer to withdraw product from the market. In either case, the Resulting Issuer would incur manufacturing costs for product without the potential to generate revenues. In addition, delays in delivery of product to the market could adversely impact long-term product utilization and drive substitution to competitor products. In the case where product released to the market is retroactively found to be non-compliant with existing guidelines, the Resulting Issuer could also incur significant costs related to the returns, refunds, and destructions of non-compliant product. Additionally, the Resulting Issuer could be exposed to substantial reputational risk and legal liabilities with potential negative consequences outlined above.
In any situation of guideline non-compliance, the Resulting Issuer will be required to undertake a comprehensive investigation and engage in activities to remedy and prevent future deviations. These activities could impose significant costs on the Resulting Issuer and draw resources away from other Resulting Issuer objectives.
Ability to Obtain Required Regulatory Approvals for the Resulting Issuer’s Products
The Resulting Issuer’s products, and the activities associated with their development and commercialization, including their design, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, record keeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries. Failure to obtain regulatory approval for a product will prevent the Resulting Issuer from commercializing the product. The Resulting Issuer has not received regulatory approval to market any of its products in any jurisdiction. The Resulting Issuer has only limited experience in filing and supporting the applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals and expects to rely on third party contract research organizations to assist it in this process.
- 77 -
The process of obtaining regulatory approvals, both in the United States and abroad, is expensive, may take many years if additional clinical trials are required, and can vary substantially based upon a variety of factors, including the type, complexity and novelty of the products involved. Changes in regulatory approval policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. The FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that the Resulting Issuer’s data is insufficient for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical, or other studies.
A critical factor affecting development timelines is the availability of regulatory agency staff for essential communications, reviews, and approvals. Timely alignment and feedback from agencies such as the FDA are vital to advancing the Resulting Issuer’s programs. However, delays or resource constraints—including staffing shortages—may limit the availability of regulatory input, which can hinder progress and extend review timelines. If the Resulting Issuer experiences delays in obtaining approval or if it fails to obtain approval of its products, the commercial prospects for the Resulting Issuer’s product may be harmed and its ability to generate revenues will be materially impaired.
Risk of Post-Regulatory-Approval Marketing and Use Limitations
Any product for which the Resulting Issuer acquires marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, advertising, and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual requirements of, and review by, the FDA and other regulatory authorities. These requirements include, among others, submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration and listing requirements, FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities where the proposed product is produced to assess compliance with current GMP requirements (“eGMP”), quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements regarding the distribution of samples to physicians and record keeping. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of medical technology to ensure medical technologies are marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA imposes stringent restrictions on manufacturers’ communications regarding off-label use and if the Resulting Issuer does not market its products for their approved indications, the Resulting Issuer may be subject to enforcement action for off-label marketing.
In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with the Resulting Issuer’s products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may yield various results, including the restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes; the restrictions on the marketing of a product; the restrictions on product distribution; requirements to conduct post-marketing clinical trials; withdrawal of the products from the market; refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that it submits; recall of products; fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue; suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals; refusal to permit the import or export of the Resulting Issuer’s products; product seizure; or injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
Ability to Achieve Market Access
Even if any of the Resulting Issuer’s products receive marketing approval by the FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries, there is no guarantee they will gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare practitioners and others in the medical community. If the Resulting Issuer’s products do not achieve sufficient level of acceptance, the Resulting Issuer may not generate sufficient revenues and may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of the Resulting Issuer’s products will depend on a number of factors, including the potential advantages the Resulting Issuer’s product provides compared to alternative treatments, the price, the convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments, the willingness of the physicians to prescribe the Resulting Issuer’s new products, the strength of marketing and distribution support through its partners, sufficient third party coverage or reimbursement and the prevalence and severity of any side effects.
The Resulting Issuer’s ability to commercialize any products successfully will also depend on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for these products and related treatments will be available from government healthcare
- 78 -
programs, private health insurers, managed care plans, and other organizations. Government authorities and third-party payers, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which medications they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels. A primary trend in the U.S. healthcare industry is cost containment. Government authorities and third-party payers have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular technologies. The Resulting Issuer cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that the Resulting Issuer commercializes and, if reimbursement is available, the level of reimbursement. Reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product for which the Resulting Issuer obtains marketing approval. If reimbursement is not available or is available only to limited levels, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to successfully commercialize any product for which the Resulting Issuer obtained marketing approval. There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage and reimbursement for newly developed medical technologies, and coverage may be more limited than the purposes for which the drug is approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Moreover, eligibility for coverage and reimbursement does not imply that a product will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale, and distribution expenses. Interim reimbursement levels for new products, if applicable, may also be insufficient to cover the Resulting Issuer's costs and may not be made permanent. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the product and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost technologies and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for medical technology products may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payers. Third party payers often rely upon Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies. The Resulting Issuer's inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable payment rates from both government-funded and private payers for any approved products could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, ability to raise capital needed to commercialize products and overall financial condition.
Additionally, current and potential customers, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop or acquire their own solutions for transdermal drug delivery that would reduce or eliminate the demand for the Resulting Issuer's products.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Laws and Regulations
Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payers play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any products for which the Resulting Issuer obtains marketing approval. The Resulting Issuer's future arrangements with third party payers and customers may expose the Resulting Issuer to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which it markets, sells, and distributes its products for which it obtains marketing approval. Restrictions under applicable United States federal and state healthcare laws and regulations that may impact the Resulting Issuer's activities, include the following:
- the federal healthcare anti-kickback statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under federal and state healthcare programs;
- civil penalties could be imposed against individuals or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government;
- criminal and civil liability could be imposed for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program and also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;
- manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics, and medical supplies are generally required to report information related to physician payments and other transfers of value and physician ownership and investment interests; and
-
analogous laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third party payers, including private insurers, and some laws require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry's voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government in addition to requiring drug manufacturers to report information related to payments to physicians and other health care providers or marketing expenditures.
-
79 -
Costs will be substantial to ensure that the Resulting Issuer’s business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations in each jurisdiction when the Resulting Issuer products will eventually be offered. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that the Resulting Issuer’s business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If the Resulting Issuer’s operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to it, it may be subject to significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, and the curtailment or restructuring of the Resulting Issuer’s operations. If any of the physicians or other providers or entities with whom the Resulting Issuer’s expects to do business are found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs.
Reliance on Third Party Manufacturers
The Resulting Issuer currently does not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and does not have any significant in-house manufacturing experience or personnel. As such, the Resulting Issuer relies on third party contract manufacturers to manufacture product candidates and work with multiple third-party suppliers to produce sufficient quantities of materials required for the manufacture of Resulting Issuer’s products for preclinical testing and clinical trials and intends to do so for the commercial manufacture of the Resulting Issuer's products.
Reliance on third party manufacturers entails risks which Resulting Issuer would not be subject if the Resulting Issuer manufactured its product candidates, including the following:
- reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality control and assurance;
- the possibility of breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party because of factors beyond the Resulting Issuer’s control (including a failure to manufacture the Resulting Issuer’s products in accordance with the product specifications); and
- the possibility of termination or nonrenewal of the agreement by the third party at a time that is costly or damaging to the Resulting Issuer.
The manufacturers may encounter difficulties in scaling up production, including quality control and quality assurance. There may only be a limited number of manufacturers can supply certain components of the Resulting Issuer’s products, and failure by the manufacturer to deliver the required quantities of such components on a timely basis and/or at commercially reasonable prices, may have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer. In the event that a manufacturer stops supplying the required part(s), the Resulting Issuer may need to identify an alternative source of such components, which may cause substantial delays to one or all of the Resulting Issuer’s clinical programs.
The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that Resulting Issuer’s products be manufactured according to cGMP and similar foreign standards. Any discovery of problems with a product, or a manufacturing or laboratory facility used by the Resulting Issuer's collaborators, may result in restrictions on the product or on the manufacturing or laboratory facility, including product recall, suspension of manufacturing, product seizure or a voluntary withdrawal of the product from the market. Any failure by our third-party manufacturers to comply with cGMP or any failure to deliver sufficient quantities of products in a timely manner, could lead to a delay in, or failure to obtain, regulatory approval of any of the Resulting Issuer’s products.
Reliance on Information Made Available by Vector
Vector is not a publicly-listed entity. As a result, all historical information relating to Vector presented in the Filing Statement has been provided in reliance on the information made available by Vector. Although OSA has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by Vector, any inaccuracy or omission in such information contained in this Filing Statement could result in unanticipated liabilities or expenses, increase the costs expected to be borne by the Resulting Issuer or adversely affect the operational plans of the Resulting Issuer and its result of operations and financial condition.

Protection of the Resulting Issuer's Intellectual Property Rights
One of the Resulting Issuer's principal assets is its intellectual property assets. Consequently, the protection of the Resulting Issuer's intellectual property rights is expected to be crucial to the success of its business. The Resulting Issuer has sought to protect the Resulting Issuer's proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States to its novel technologies and products that are important to its business. This process is expensive and time-consuming, and the Resulting Issuer may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. In addition, patents might not be issued or granted with respect to the Resulting Issuer's patent applications that are currently pending and issued or granted patents might later be found to be invalid or unenforceable, be interpreted in a manner that does not adequately protect the Resulting Issuer's current product or any future products or fail to otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies is generally uncertain because it involves complex legal and factual considerations and in recent years has been the subject of much litigation. The standards applied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices in granting patents are not always applied uniformly or predictably. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of the Resulting Issuer's patent rights are highly uncertain. The degree of future protection that the Resulting Issuer will have on its proprietary products and technology, if any, is uncertain and a failure to obtain adequate intellectual property protection with respect to the Resulting Issuer's products and proprietary technology could have a material adverse impact on the success of its business.
Numerous patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the field where the Resulting Issuer has commercialized, and expects to further commercialize, its licensed technology and sell its products. These patents and patent applications might have priority over the Resulting Issuer's current and future intellectual property applications and could subject the Resulting Issuer's applications to invalidation and/or prevent one or more of such applications to be granted to provide an enforceable patent right. The Resulting Issuer may be unable to obtain adequate patent protection or any patent protection for technology claimed in its applications, or such patent protection may not be obtained quickly enough to meet its business needs.
Third Party Intellectual Property Infringement
The Resulting Issuer's success and ability to compete also depends in part on its ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell its products and use its proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Third-party intellectual property rights, including trademark registrations, pending trademark applications and non-registered common law use, may cover the Resulting Issuer's patents, the way the Resulting Issuer markets its goods and services, and/or the Resulting Issuer's technology. These third-party rights may preclude the Resulting Issuer from making, using or selling its commercial products and services. This risk exists independently of the Resulting Issuer's licensed patent rights. Current and potential competitors may own patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and may pursue litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights. The Resulting Issuer may receive notices that claim it has infringed, misappropriated, misused or otherwise violated other parties' intellectual property rights. These other parties may have the capability to dedicate substantial resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them.
Other than as disclosed herein, Vector has not received any notices that it has violated intellectual rights of any third party, to the extent the Resulting Issuer gains greater commercial visibility, the Resulting Issuer faces a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claims. Any intellectual property litigation initiated against the Resulting Issuer may involve non-practicing patent assertion entities or companies who use their patents as a means to extract license fees by threatening costly litigation or that have minimal operations or relevant product revenue. The Resulting Issuer's licensed patent rights may provide little or no deterrence or protection against such non-practicing patent assertion entities. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the technology's long-term viability may adversely affect an investment in the Resulting Issuer. As a result, an intellectual property claim could adversely affect the business and affairs of the Resulting Issuer.
As a result of any such allegations of intellectual property infringement, the Resulting Issuer may need to redesign or rebrand its products and services. This may include developing alternative non-infringing technology or branding,
- 81 -
which could require significant effort and expense. The Resulting Issuer could be forced to negotiate the rights to the third party’s intellectual property to continue to develop and market the Resulting Issuer’s products and technology. The Resulting Issuer could be required to seek a license for third-party intellectual property. There is no guarantee that the Resulting Issuer will be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if the Resulting Issuer was able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving its competitors access to the same technologies licensed to the Resulting Issuer. Even if a license were available, The Resulting Issuer could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase its expenses. If the Resulting Issuer cannot license rights or develop alternative technology for any infringing aspect of its business, it would be forced to limit or stop sales of one or more of its products or services, it could lose existing customers, and it may be unable to compete effectively. In addition, the Resulting Issuer could be found liable for additional monetary damages. Any of these results would materially harm the Resulting Issuer’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Claims that the Resulting Issuer has misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on its business.
Intellectual Property Rights Claims Against Third Parties
Likewise, the Resulting Issuer may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement, misappropriation or other violation of its intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights or to establish the validity of its intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights. Any such litigation, whether or not resolved in the Resulting Issuer’s favor, could be time-consuming, result in significant expense to and divert the efforts of technical and management personnel. The court may decide in an infringement proceeding that a specific patent held by the Resulting Issuer is not valid or enforceable or may refuse to stop the other party from using the Resulting Issuer’s intellectual technology at issue on the grounds that its patents do not cover the intellectual property being disputed. Attempts to enforce intellectual property rights against third parties could also provoke these third parties to assert their own intellectual property rights or other claims against the Resulting Issuer or result in a holding that invalidates or narrows the scope of the Resulting Issuer’s rights, in whole or in part. Additionally, due to the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of the Resulting Issuer’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.
Third parties may also legitimately and independently develop products, services and technology similar to, or duplicative of, the Resulting Issuer’s products and services. Despite the Resulting Issuer’s best efforts, third parties may attempt to disclose, obtain, copy or use the Resulting Issuer’s intellectual property rights or other proprietary information or technology without authorization. Efforts to protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights may not prevent such unauthorized disclosure or use, misappropriation, infringement, reverse engineering or other infringement of these rights.
Reliance on Contracts to Protect Intellectual Property
The Resulting Issuer’s agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification provisions under which it agrees to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of third party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights, damages caused by the Resulting Issuer to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from its platforms, services, or other contractual obligations. Large indemnity payments could harm the business, financial condition and operations of the Resulting Issuer. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on its relationship with that customer, other existing customers and new customers which could harm the business and results of operations.
In addition to protection under intellectual property laws, Vector relies on confidentiality or license agreements that it will generally enter into with corporate partners, employees, consultants, contractors, advisors, vendors and customers. The Resulting Issuer will generally limit access to and distribution of its proprietary information. However, the Resulting Issuer cannot be certain that it will have entered into such agreements with all parties who may have or had access to confidential information or that the agreements entered into will not be breached or challenged or that such breaches will be detected. Furthermore, non-disclosure provisions can be difficult to enforce, and even if successfully enforced, may not be entirely effective. The Resulting Issuer cannot guarantee that any of the measures it will have taken will prevent infringement, misappropriation or other violation of its technology or other intellectual property or
- 82 -
proprietary rights. The Resulting Issuer also may be a target for a cyberattack, which poses a risk of unauthorized access to, and misappropriation of, its proprietary and competitively sensitive information.
Ability to Complete Favourable Acquisitions
As part of the Resulting Issuer's business strategy, it may attempt to acquire businesses that it believes are a strategic fit with its business. The Resulting Issuer may not be able to complete such acquisitions on favourable terms, if at all. Any future acquisitions may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of its business. Since the Resulting Issuer may not be able to accurately predict these difficulties and expenditures, these costs may outweigh the value it realizes from a future acquisition and any acquisition the Resulting Issuer completes could be viewed negatively by its customers. Future acquisitions could result in an issuance of securities that would dilute shareholders' ownership interest, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization of expenses related to other intangible assets, and the incurrence of large, immediate write-offs.
Global Macroeconomic Trends can Impact the Resulting Issuer
Various macroeconomic factors could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's business and the results of the Resulting Issuer's operations and financial condition, including changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and overall economic conditions and uncertainties, including those resulting from political instability and the current and future conditions in the global financial markets. For instance, if inflation, tariffs or other factors were to significantly increase the Resulting Issuer's business costs, it may not be feasible to pass through price increases. Interest rates, the liquidity of the credit markets and the volatility of the capital markets could also affect the value of the Resulting Issuer's investments and the Resulting Issuer's ability to liquidate the Resulting Issuer's investments in order to fund the Resulting Issuer's operations, if necessary. In addition, interest rates and the ability to access credit markets could also adversely affect the ability of customers to purchase and pay for the Resulting Issuer's services. These factors could adversely affect the Resulting Issuer's business and financial condition.
Additional Financing
The advancement and development of the Resulting Issuer's business may require substantial additional financing. As a result, the Resulting Issuer may be required to seek additional sources of equity financing in the near future. The Resulting Issuer's ability to raise additional equity financing may be affected by numerous factors beyond its control including, but not limited to, adverse market conditions, commodity price changes and economic downturns. There can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be successful in obtaining any additional financing required to continue its business operations or that such financing will be sufficient to meet the Resulting Issuer's objectives.
Litigation
The Resulting Issuer may become subject to disputes with customers, commercial parties with whom it maintains relationships or other parties with whom it does business. Any such dispute could result in litigation between the Resulting Issuer and the other parties.
There is an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of the Resulting Issuer's products in human clinical trials and the Resulting Issuer will face an even greater risk if it commercially sells any products that it may develop. The Resulting Issuer's current products have not been widely used over an extended period of time, and therefore, safety data is limited.
In addition, any intellectual property rights, including the Resulting Issuer's registered patent rights, may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, held unenforceable and/or circumvented in litigation or other administrative proceedings, including, where applicable, opposition, re-examination, inter partes review, post-grant review, interference, nullification and derivation proceedings and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Such challenges to the Resulting Issuer's intellectual property rights may result in substantial cost and require significant time from management, even if the eventual outcome is favorable. The Resulting Issuer may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. The Resulting Issuer
- 83 -
may conclude that in at least some instances the benefits of protecting its intellectual property or other proprietary rights may be outweighed by the expense or distraction to its management. Effective protection of the Resulting Issuer’s intellectual property rights, including its licensed patent rights, may not be available in every country in which its products or services are available. The laws of some countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States and Canada, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, any enforceable patent or other intellectual property rights obtained may be lost or no longer provide the Resulting Issuer meaningful competitive advantages.
Also, any public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments could be perceived to be negative by securities analysts or investors, leading to a potential adverse effect on the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares.
Whether or not any dispute actually proceeds to litigation, the Resulting Issuer may be required to devote significant resources, including management time and attention, to its successful resolution (through litigation, settlement or otherwise), which would detract from management's ability to focus on the Resulting Issuer's business. Any such resolution could involve the payment of damages or expenses by the Resulting Issuer, which may be significant. In addition, any such resolution could involve the Resulting Issuer's agreement to certain settlement terms that restrict the operation of its business.
Insurance and Uninsured Risks
The Resulting Issuer's business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including industrial accidents, labour disputes, catastrophic equipment failures and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to the Resulting Issuer's facilities, personal injury or death to the Resulting Issuer's properties or the properties of others, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although the Resulting Issuer will maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with the Resulting Issuer's operations. The Resulting Issuer may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Losses from these events may cause the Resulting Issuer to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.
Attracting and Retaining Talented Personnel
The Resulting Issuer's success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of management and other personnel in conducting the business of the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer will rely on its management team and other key personnel in the areas of marketing and sales, and research and development, among others, and the loss of any of these individuals or the inability to attract suitably qualified staff could materially adversely impact the business. The Resulting Issuer's ability to manage its operating, development, and financing activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Resulting Issuer's success will depend on the ability of management and employees to interpret market data successfully and to interpret and respond to economic, market and other business conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments and ultimately, if required, successfully divest such investments. Further, key personnel may not continue their association or employment with the Resulting Issuer, which may not be able to find replacement personnel with comparable skills. The Resulting Issuer has sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key personnel are appropriately compensated; however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If the Resulting Issuer is unable to attract and retain key personnel, business may be adversely affected. The Resulting Issuer faces intense competition for qualified personnel, especially for employees experienced in designing and developing medical technology products, and there can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer will be able to attract and retain such personnel.
- 84 -
- 85 -
Competition
The industries in which the Resulting Issuer will operate are competitive. Some competitor companies can be expected to offer similar services and products and have longer operating histories and more financial resources and marketing experience than the Resulting Issuer. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer. Some of these competitors and new entrants may have brands that are or become more widely recognized by consumers than the Resulting Issuer's brand, and they may also have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical or other resources. The Resulting Issuer's competitors may also merge or form strategic partnerships. The Resulting Issuer may face further competition from medical technology companies that focus their efforts on developing and marketing products that are similar in nature to its products, but may offer improvements over the Resulting Issuer's product, in either effectiveness or price. These factors could adversely impact the Resulting Issuer's competitive position. To remain competitive, the Resulting Issuer will require a continued high level of investment in operations, marketing, and sales. Its success will partly depend on its ability to secure superiority in its product and operations and maintain such superiority in the face of new products and competition. The Resulting Issuer may not have sufficient resources to maintain operations, products, marketing, sales and customer support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer.
If the Resulting Issuer fails to predict customers' needs and demands and achieve further market acceptance in the industry it serves, or if a competitor establishes a similar technological solution that is more widely adopted, it could adversely impact the Resulting Issuer's ability to grow its business and operations could be harmed.
Possible Conflicts of Interest of Directors and Officers of the Resulting Issuer
The directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer may also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. The Resulting Issuer expects that any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving the Resulting Issuer will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Resulting Issuer and its shareholders, but there can be no assurance in this regard.
Volatility of Market for Resulting Issuer Shares
Securities markets throughout the world are cyclical and, over time, tend to undergo high levels of price and volume volatility. A publicly traded company, particularly a medical technology company, experience wide fluctuations in price that are not necessarily related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies, including:
- actual or anticipated changes in the Resulting Issuer's growth rate relative to its competitors;
- adverse results or delays in any of the current or projected clinical trials the Resulting Issuer will undertake to develop its products;
- regulatory actions with respect to the Resulting Issuer's programs;
- unanticipated efficacy, safety or tolerability concerns related to any of the Resulting Issuer's products;
- changes in laws or regulations applicable to the Resulting Issuer's current product candidates or any future products, including but not limited to clinical trial requirements for approvals;
- the Resulting Issuer's inability to effectively promote and market any of its products once approved;
- competition from other Resulting Issuer's existing products or new products that they are developing;
- failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community;
- issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
- fluctuations in the valuation of competitive companies to the Resulting Issuer;
- share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of the Resulting Issuer's shares;
- additions or departures of key management or scientific personnel;
- acquiring additional debt or equity financing efforts;
- sales of the Resulting Issuer's Shares by the Resulting Issuer, its insiders or other shareholders; and
- general economic and market conditions.
In addition, if Resulting Issuer Shareholders on completion of the Transaction sell substantial amounts of Resulting Issuer Shares in the public market, the market price of the Resulting Issuer's Shares could fall. Increased levels of volatility and resulting market turmoil may adversely impact the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares. If the Resulting Issuer is required to access capital markets to carry out its development objectives (as is expected), the state of domestic and international capital markets and other financial systems could affect its respective access to, and cost of, capital. Such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the Resulting Issuer or at all, and this could have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Dilution Risk
In order to finance future operations and development efforts, the Resulting Issuer may raise funds through the issue of Resulting Issuer Shares or securities convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares. The constating documents of the Resulting Issuer will allow it to issue, among other things, an unlimited number of Resulting Issuer Shares for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as may be established by the directors of the Resulting Issuer, in many cases, without the approval of shareholders. The size of future issues of Resulting Issuer Shares or securities convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares or the effect, if any, that future issues and sales of the Resulting Issuer Shares will have on the price of the Resulting Issuer Shares cannot be predicted at this time. Any transaction involving the issue of previously authorized but unissued Resulting Issuer Shares or securities convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective shareholders of the Resulting Issuer.
Dividends
The Resulting Issuer does not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as the Resulting Issuer anticipates that any future earnings will be re-invested in the development and growth of the business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their Resulting Issuer Shares, and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in Resulting Issuer Shares.
Public Company Costs and Regulatory Compliance
The Resulting Issuer will incur costs as a public company for regulatory compliance and operations, which could have a material adverse impact on the Resulting Issuer's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Resulting Issuer's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Resulting Issuer. The Resulting Issuer's efforts to grow its business may be costlier than expected, and the Resulting Issuer may not be able to increase its revenue enough to offset its higher operating expenses. The Resulting Issuer may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described herein, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events. If the Resulting Issuer is unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares may significantly decrease.
Uncertainty of Revenue Growth
There can be no assurance that the Resulting Issuer can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Resulting Issuer has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Resulting Issuer may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund higher levels of sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Resulting Issuer's business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
Uncertainty of Use of Proceeds
Although the Resulting Issuer has set out its intended use of proceeds in this Filing Statement, these intended uses are estimates only and subject to change. While management of Vector does not contemplate any material variation,
- 86 -
management of the Resulting Issuer retains broad discretion in the application of such proceeds. The failure by the Resulting Issuer to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer's business, including the Resulting Issuer's ability to achieve its stated business objectives under the heading “Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Business Objectives & Milestones”.

DAVIDSON
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
OpenSesame Acquisition Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of OpenSesame Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our auditor's report.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, 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 Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Peter Maloff.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
OpenSesame Acquisition Corp (the "Company") was incorporated on April 30, 2021 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company is classified as a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") while the principal business is to identify and evaluate assets or businesses and once identified, to negotiate the acquisition or participation in a business by completing a Qualifying Transaction ("QT"), in certain cases, subject to shareholder approval and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The head office, principal address and the records and registered office is located at 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K8.
On July 27, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") issuing 3,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000 pursuant to a final prospectus dated June 28, 2022. Haywood Securities acted as exclusive agent (the "Agent") in respect of the IPO and received a cash commission of $30,000, a corporate finance fee of $10,000 and was reimbursed $16,828 for legal and related costs. The Agent also received 300,000 share purchase warrants entitling the Agent and members of its selling group to purchase 300,000 common shares at $0.10 per common share until July 27, 2027.
The Company's shares were listed on the TSX-V on July 27, 2022 and commenced trading on July 29, 2022 under the symbol 'OPEN.P'.
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $290,760 as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $172,101). The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. All the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
OpenSesame Acquisition Corp.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency. In addition, the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. 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 end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cashable guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of three months or less. As at December 31, 2025, the Company has a cash balance of $15,663 (2024 - $10,216) and cash equivalents of $51,149 (2024 - $187,277).

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
(c) Share capital
Common shares are classified as share capital. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The proceeds from the issue of units are allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares and any residual value is allocated to common share purchase warrants.
(d) Basic and diluted loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
Contingently issuable common shares are not considered outstanding common shares and consequently are not included in basic and diluted loss per share calculations.
(e) Share-based payments
The Company has a share purchase option plan and accounts for share-based payments using a fair value-based method with respect to all share-based payments to directors, officers, employees, and service providers. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or if such fair value is not reliably measurable, at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. This includes a forfeiture estimate, which is revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
Upon the exercise of the share purchase option, the consideration received, and the related amount transferred from contributed surplus are recorded as share capital.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
(f) Financial instrument measurement and valuation
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The measurement of the Company's financial instruments is disclosed in Note 11 to these financial statements. Any financial instrument that is valued using level 2 or 3 inputs will involve estimation uncertainty.
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or at amortized cost. The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.
The Company's accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:
Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the statement of profit or loss in the period.
Financial assets at FVTOCI: Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in which they arise.
Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
(f) Financial instrument measurement and valuation (continued)
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost: The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Financial liabilities and equity: Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) – This category comprises derivatives and financial liabilities incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Amortized cost – This category consists of liabilities carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are included in this category. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
(g) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions applied in determining asset or liability values are based on historical experience and various other factors including other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances but are not necessarily readily apparent or recognizable at the time such estimate or assumption is made. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions used in determining asset and liability values are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
(g) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:
Judgments
Going concern
The Company's management has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.
Estimates
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
(h) Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs consist of professional, listing and filing fees related to the Company's initial public offering process (Note 1). The costs were offset to share capital on the completion of the prospectus or charge to operations if the financing does not proceed.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)
(i) Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entity's functional currency at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company's operations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the date of the underlying transaction, except for depreciation related to non-monetary assets, which is translated at historical exchange rates. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they occur.
(j) Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) - IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements which aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective from January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is not yet able to determine the impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this standard.
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB but are not yet effective as at December 31, 2025. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

5. 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. 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.
Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has identified its directors and officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them are recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, $12,976 (December 31, 2024 - $9,000) was paid to a director for accounting services.
As at December 31, 2025, $nil was due to related parties (December 31, 2024 - $813).

All common shares acquired in the secondary market prior to completion of a QT by a Control Person (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), are required to be deposited in escrow. Subject to certain permitted exemptions, all securities of the Company held by principals of the resulting issuer will also be subject to escrow.
(d) Stock options
On March 14, 2022, the Company's board of directors adopted a stock option plan, which was amended and replaced on June 6, 2022 by the Company's current stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") whereby it can grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees, and technical consultants of the Company. The maximum numbers of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan is limited to 10% of the issued common shares of the Company at any time. The vesting period for all options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The exercise price will be set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant and cannot be less than the discounted market price of the Company's common shares.
The Stock Option Plan provides that the number of common shares that may be reserved for the issuance to any one individual upon exercise of all stock options held by such an individual may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares, if the individual is a director or officer, or 2% of the issued common shares, if the individual is a consultant or engaged in providing investor relations services, on a yearly basis. All options granted under the Stock Option Plan will expire not later than the date that is ten years from the date that such options are granted. Options terminate earlier as follows: (i) immediately in the event of dismissal with cause; (ii) 90 days from date of termination other than for cause; or (iii) one year from the date of death or disability. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or other testamentary instrument or pursuant to the laws of succession. All common shares acquired on exercise of stock options granted to directors and officers prior to the completion of a QT must be deposited in escrow until the final exchange bulletin relating to a QT is issued.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company has 350,000 stock options outstanding (December 31, 2024 - 350,000) that are exercisable at $0.10 per common share and expire on July 27, 2032.

(e) Warrants
As at December 31, 2025, the Company has 300,000 (December 31, 2024 – 300,000) warrants outstanding that are exercisable at $0.10 per common share and expire on July 27, 2027.
7. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2025, was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $118,659 (2024 - $50,072) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 2,975,000 (2024 - 2,975,000). The 2,525,000 common shares held in escrow became contingently returnable on completion of the IPO and accordingly are not considered to be outstanding shares for the purposes of loss per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
8. PROFESSIONAL FEES
The Company incurred $91,864 (2024 - $28,428) in professional fees during the year, which consists of $12,628 (2024 - $13,428) in audit and tax related fees and $79,236 (2024 - $15,000) in legal fees.

9. INCOME TAXES
The following table reconciles the amount of income tax recoverable on application of the combined statutory Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Loss before income taxes | $ (118,659) | $ (50,072) |
| Expected income tax recovery at statutory rates | (32,000) | (14,000) |
| Change in unrecognized deferred tax assets | 32,000 | 14,000 |
| Income tax expense (recovery) | $ - | $ - |
Significant components of the Company's deferred income tax assets (liabilities) not recognized are shown below:

|---|---|---|
| Non-capital losses carried forward | $ 346,000 | $ 206,000 |
| Share issuance costs | $- | $22,000 |
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $346,000 (December 31, 2024 - $206,000) of non-capital loss carry forwards and $nil (December 31, 2024 - $22,000) of share issuance costs available to reduce taxable income for future years. These unrecognized deferred income tax assets start to expire in 2026.
10. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
Capital is comprised of the Company's shareholders' equity and any debt that it may issue. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange. The Company's approach to capital management has not changed from the prior years.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices or prevailing conditions. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk and are disclosed as follows:
(i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company is not exposed to currency risk.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market risk. The Company's sensitivity to interest rates relative to its cash balances is currently immaterial. The Company also has no long-term debt with variable interest rates, so it has no negative exposure to changes in the market interest rate.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents is negligible.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. At December 31, 2025, the Company has no sources of revenue but has a cash and cash equivalents balance of $66,812 (December 31, 2024 - $197,493) to settle current liabilities of $39,699 (December 31, 2024 - $30,629). The Company has no source of revenue and will require financing in the future if it does not close its qualifying transaction in a timely manner (Note 12).
Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market date.
As at December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost. The fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

12. QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
On November 27, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc. ("Vector"), setting out indicative terms of a business combination by way of amalgamation, arrangement share exchange or similar structure pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Vector (the "Acquisition"), which the parties intend to constitute the Company's qualifying transaction as defined in Policy 2.4 (Capital Pool Companies) ("Policy 2.4") of the Exchange.
Completion of the proposed Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, negotiation of a comprehensive Agreement in Principal (as defined in the Policies of the TSXV) in respect of the proposed Acquisition, completion and execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the proposed transaction, completion by parties of satisfactory due diligence, satisfaction by the parties of all applicable filing and listing requirements pursuant to TSXV Policy 2.4, and acceptance and receipt of all applicable regulatory, corporate and shareholder approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.
The Company subsequently entered into a series of amendments to the Letter Agreement whereby both parties agreed to work in good faith to negotiate and settle the terms of the definitive agreement for execution. The Company anticipates that the closing of the qualifying transaction will occur in the second quarter of 2026.

The Company
The Company was incorporated on April 30, 2021 under the laws of British Columbia.
On July 27, 2022 the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and on July 29, 2022 commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the symbol "OPEN.P".
Upon completion of the IPO, the Company became a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined in the TSX-V Policy 2.4 ("Policy 2.4"). As a CPC, the Company's objective is to identify and acquire either operating assets or a business, subject to regulatory approval, that meets the criteria of a Qualifying Transaction as defined by the TSX-V ("Qualifying Transaction"). Until such time that a Qualifying Transaction is completed, the Company will have no significant revenue and will incur expenses primarily for Qualifying Transaction investigation, TSX-V listing and filing requirements, professional services and office facilities and administration, subject to certain restrictions under Policy 2.4.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has not identified a qualifying transaction and therefore has no cash flow from operations. The Company's only source of funds since incorporation has been from the sale of common shares. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $66,812 (December 31, 2024 - $197,493) and working capital of $56,802 (December 31, 2024 - $175,461). The Company's current cash balance is sufficient to pay its existing accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to maintain its existing level of operations for the next 12 months, and to pursue a Qualifying Transaction.
As a CPC, the Company's routine expenses are limited to general administrative costs such as TSX-V listing and filing fees, audit fees, legal fees and expenses for corporate and administrative services. Additional legal or other costs may be incurred to pursue a potential Qualifying Transaction, regardless of whether the transaction is ultimately completed.
While the information in this MD&A has been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, there are conditions and events that cast significant doubt on the validity of this presumption. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. While the Company is making its best efforts in this regard, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
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. 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.
Key management personnel include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has identified its directors and officers as its key management personnel and the compensation costs for key management personnel and companies related to them are recorded at their exchange amounts as agreed upon by transacting parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, $12,976 (December 31, 2024 - $9,000) was paid to a director for accounting services.
As at December 31, 2025, $nil was due to related parties (December 31, 2024 - $813).

Changes in Accounting Policies Including Initial Adoption
A detailed summary of all the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Note 4 of the annual audited financial statements. The Company periodically reviews accounting policy changes implemented within its industry and updates its policies accordingly.
Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices or prevailing conditions. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk and are disclosed as follows:

(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market risk. The Company's sensitivity to interest rates relative to its cash balances is currently immaterial. The Company also has no long-term debt with variable interest rates, so it has no negative exposure to changes in the market interest rate.
(iii) Price rate risk
The Company has exposure to price risk with respect to equity prices as the Company is listed on the TSX-V. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.

As at December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash is classified as fair value using Level 1 measurement. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost. The fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates its carrying value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors of Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc. the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2025 and the period from December 12, 2023 to August 31, 2024, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at August 31, 2025 and 2024 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2025 and the period from December 12, 2023 to August 31, 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada. 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 and the information, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, included in the Annual Report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, 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 financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risks of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) to August 31, 2024 and
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc. ("Vector" or the "Company"), was incorporated on December 12, 2023, pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm.
The Company's head office is located at 12250 Corporate Parkway, Mequon, WI, 53092 3300. The Company's registered office is located at 16192 Coastal Hwy in the City of Lewes, County of Sussex, State of Delaware.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. These adjustments could be material.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $898,009 and had negative cash flow from operations of $773,779 for the year ended August 31, 2025. The Company will depend on future operating cash flows and financings before it is able to drive cash flows from its operations.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the "Board") on April 14, 2026.
2.2 Basis of presentation and measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. The new standards replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new categories and required subtotals in the statement of profit and loss and also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures. It also includes new requirements for the location, aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosures. The amendments clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities and introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system. The amendments also clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features and the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments (CLIs). Further, the amendments mandate additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at FVOCI.
The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
4.1 Loss per common share – basic and fully-diluted
The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of common-share equivalents (the "Potentially Dilutive Instruments"), such as outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive. The "treasury stock method" is used for the assumed proceeds upon the exercise of the options and warrants that are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. In certain circumstances, basic loss per common share may also be adjusted for the effect of assumed conversion of the Potentially Dilutive Instruments.
4.2 Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all investments with original maturities of three months or less, that are highly liquid and readily convertible into cash, to be cash equivalents. As at the reporting date, the Company has no cash equivalents.

Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
4.3 Equity
The common stock is classified as equity. Costs, such as commissions, professional fees and regulatory fees directly attributable to common shares that are issued, are deducted from the proceeds of the offering. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of warrants.
4.4 Financial instruments
4.4.1 Financial assets
Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.
Classification and subsequent measurement
All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial assets are classified as follows:
- Amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash.
- Fair value through other comprehensive income - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows meet the SPPI test, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, or non-trading assets that do not meet the SPPI test, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets' carrying amount are

(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
- Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets' carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Business model assessment
The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives.
Contractual cash flow assessment
The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest on the basis of their contractual terms. For this purpose, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company's claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money.
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 twelve month expected credit losses. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
4.4.2 Financial liabilities
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial liabilities are designated as either (i) fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); or (ii) other financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Embedded derivatives
Warrants which are exercisable into a variable number of shares or into a fixed number of shares for a variable amount of consideration, are accounted for as an embedded derivative, which is separated from the host contract. Upon initial recognition, the derivative liability is valued at fair value using an option pricing model. Any directly attributable transaction costs allocated to the derivative liability are expensed. The derivative liability is subsequently measure at fair value at the date of each reporting period.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
4.4.3 Fair value hierarchy
Fair value determination is classified within a three-level hierarchy, based on observability of significant inputs, as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Inputs into the determination of the fair value require management judgment or estimation.
If different levels of inputs are used to measure a financial instrument's fair value, the classification within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Changes to valuation methods may result in transfers into or out of an investment's assigned level.
4.5 Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) to August 31, 2024 and
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the assets belong.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the 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. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered.
If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A previously-recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
4.6 Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. The functional currency of an entity is determined using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
4.7 Income taxes
Income tax 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 or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable (or recoverable) on the taxable income (loss) for the year, using tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset

For the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) to August 31, 2024 and
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Income tax estimates
Provisions for taxes (recoveries) are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid (recovered) 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 taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
4.8 Related-party transactions
A party is related to an entity if the party directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the entity; or if it has an interest in the entity that gives it significant influence over the entity; or if it has joint control over the entity or is an associate or a joint venture of the entity. In addition, members and dependents of the key management personnel of the entity (Board of Directors and Executive Management) are also considered related parties.
4.9 Patents and Other Intangible Assets
Initial recognition
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at fair value. Assets are capitalized if they are identifiable, controlled and expected to generate future economic benefits.
Internally developed intangibles are not recognized as assets unless the Company can demonstrate technical feasibility of completing the intangible. Research costs are expensed in the period that they are incurred.
The useful life of each patent is 17 years, amortized on a straight-line basis over that period. No amortization is taken in the quarter of acquisition or addition.

(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
Subsequent measurement
Amortization
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinitely useful lives are not amortized.
Impairment
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment testing is also completed if events or changes in circumstance indicate they may be impaired. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment only when there is an indication that they may be impaired.
Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of loss in the period in which they occur. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
4.10 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
Application of accounting policies requires management to use estimates and judgments that can have significant effect on the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities recognised and disclosures made in the financial statements.
Management's best estimates concerning the future are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made.
Management uses historical experience, general economic conditions and assumptions regarding probable future outcomes as the basis for determining estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of any changes are recognized immediately. Actual results could differ from the estimates used.
The following areas require management's significant accounting estimates and judgments:
Significant accounting estimates include:
i. Income taxes – see note 15.
Significant accounting judgments include:
i. The classification of financial assets and financial liabilities.
ii. The evaluation of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
iii. The determination of the functional currency of the Company.
iv. The determination of fair value of warrants liability.
5. FUNDS HELD IN TRUST
Included in cash are funds held in trust with the Company's legal counsel in the amount of $165,329 (August 31, 2024 - $nil).

8.2 Issued and outstanding
Year ended August 31, 2025
8.2.1
In July 2025, the Company completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) consisting of 5,409,828 units, raising gross proceeds of $3,955,931 (C$5,409,828). Each unit consists of 1 Class A common shares and 1 warrant. A total of 5,409,828 warrants were issued, are exercisable until June 27, 2028 at a price of C$2.50. The relative fair value of the 2025 Warrants was estimated at $1,087,375 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: estimated life of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.63%, expected volatility of 100.0%, dividends of $0.00 and an underlying share price of C$0.725. The fair value of the warrants has been recorded to warrant liability (note 7) on the statements of financial position.
Total cash transaction costs of $376,215 have been allocated as follows: To common shares in the amount of $277,977 (allocated on the same basis as the warrants); to financing costs in the amount of $87,638; and to legal fees in the amount of $10,600.
Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company issued 386,435 advisor warrants exercisable until July 31, 2028 at a price of C$1.00. The fair value of the advisor warrants was estimated at $114,771 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: estimated life of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.77%, expected volatility of 100.0%, dividends of $0.00 and an underlying share price of C$0.725.

See more details on related party share subscriptions in note 8.2.1.
10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
As at August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. The fair values of cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity.
Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, capital management risk and foreign exchange risk. The Company's overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management team.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. All of the Company's financial liabilities, other than warrants liability, have contractual maturity of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company has limited credit risk regarding its funds held in trust as that cash is held by a large Canadian law firm.
b) Capital management risk
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns to the shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital. The Company considers shareholders' equity as capital.
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares to shareholders or sell assets. There are no changes in the Company's capital management policies for the year ended August 31, 2025 and for the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) through August 31, 2024. There are no external capital management requirements or covenants as at August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.
c) Foreign exchange risk
The Company's operations are mainly completed in US dollars. However, the Company does have transactions denominated in Canadian dollars. As well, it has raised capital in Canadian dollars. As such, the Company is susceptible to changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly for translation of Canadian-dollar denominated borrowings, trade payables and operating expenses. Based on Management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the USD at August 31, 2025, would have decreased the net asset position of the Company by approximately $276,000. A 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the same would have had an equal but opposite effect.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements
As at and for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc. ("Vector" or the "Company") was incorporated on December 12, 2023, pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm.
The Company's head office is located at 12250 Corporate Parkway, Mequon, WI, 53092 3300. The Company's registered office is located at 16192 Coastal Hwy in the City of Lewes, County of Sussex, State of Delaware.
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. These adjustments could be material.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $987,788 (2024 - $nil) and has negative cash flow from operations of $832,839 for the three months ended November 30, 2025 (2024 - $nil). The Company will depend on future operating cash flows and financings before it is able to drive cash flows from its operations.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' using accounting policies consistent with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board on April 14, 2026.
2.2 Basis of presentation and measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
3. NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The following revised standards are applicable to the Company but are not yet effective nor have they been adopted by the Company.

Vector Science and Therapeutics Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements
As at and for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. The new standards replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new categories and required subtotals in the statement of profit and loss and also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures. It also includes new requirements for the location, aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosures. The amendments clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities and introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system. The amendments also clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features and the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments (CLIs). Further, the amendments mandate additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at FVOCI.
The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Retrospective application is required and early adoption is permitted.
4. NEWLY-ADOPTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's material accounting policies are detailed in its Annual Financial Statements for the year ended August 31, 2025 and for the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) to August 31, 2024. Newly-adopted policies are detailed below:
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management. Equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated five-year useful life.
Where an item of equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.
5. QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
In October of 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement ("Agreement") that amended, restated and replaced in its entirety the letter of intent originally executed on November 27, 2024

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related parties are 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. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Key management includes those individuals having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company directly or indirectly. Key management includes the directors, named executive officers, being the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, or companies controlled by them. Others include the Company's Chief Commercial Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Technology Officer, or companies controlled by them. Compensation paid or payable to key management is detailed below:

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include $22,493 (August 31, 2025 - $38,935) of amounts due to related parties.
Amounts due to related parties of $976 (August 31, 2025-$224), are due on demand, have no fixed term of repayment and bear an interest rate of 0% per annum.
13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
As at November 30, 2025, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. The fair values of cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity.
Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, capital management risk and foreign exchange risk. The Company's overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management team.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. All of the Company's financial liabilities, other than warrants liability, have contractual maturity of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements
As at and for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States Dollars, unless stated otherwise)
b) Capital management risk
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns to the shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital. The Company considers shareholders' equity as capital.
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares to shareholders or sell assets. There are no changes in the Company's capital management policies for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and for the year ended August 31, 2025. There are no external capital management requirements or covenants as at November 30, 2025 and August 31, 2025.
c) Foreign exchange risk
The Company's operations are mainly completed in US dollars. However, the Company does have transactions denominated in Canadian dollars. As well, it has raised capital in Canadian dollars. As such, the Company is susceptible to changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly for translation of Canadian-dollar denominated borrowings, trade payables and operating expenses. Based on Management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the USD at November 30, 2025, would have decreased the net asset position of the Company by approximately $180,000. A 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the same would have had an equal but opposite effect.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
Description of Business
Vector develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm. All products are beyond prototype phase and one product has advanced to the FDA Q submission stage.
Vector is committed to improving the lives of patients and the practice of medicine by developing and commercializing technologies that improve clinical outcomes, reducing the economic burden of treatment for patients and payers, and leveraging insight secured across the patient's journey with Vector's products to equip medical professionals to deliver personalized intervention.
Most drugs and therapeutics are delivered either orally (pills or capsules) or via injection. These systemic methods do not target the specific site or tissue intended for treatment. Systemic delivery exposes the entire body to the drug, creating significant risk for drug-to-drug and drug-to-disease complications.
When multiple medications circulate systemically, they can compete for the same metabolic pathways, leading to unpredictable interactions that can diminish therapeutic efficacy or amplify toxicity. Similarly, systemic exposure can exacerbate comorbid conditions, as medications intended for one disease may adversely affect another condition the patient is managing. These complications are particularly pronounced in elderly and chronically ill populations and patients with multiple diseases requiring polypharmacy.
The economic burden of these complications is substantial. In the United States, adverse drug reactions cause approximately 4 hospitalizations per 1,000 people annually and rank among the top 10 causes of death, with associated costs estimated between $30 billion and $180 billion per year.¹ The opioid epidemic further compounds these challenges, costing Americans an estimated $2.7 trillion in 2023, equivalent to 9.7% of GDP, through healthcare expenditures, lost productivity, and premature death.²
Product platforms and applications
Vector develops non-systemic delivery technologies that target specific tissues and regions of the body without relying on traditional injection or oral dosing. By taking a targeted approach, Vector's offerings aim to deliver precise doses while reducing the side effects associated with systemic exposure. Vector's sustained-release capabilities extend therapeutic duration, decreasing the need for multiple doses, improving treatment compliance, and reducing the potential for drug abuse.
1. Laparoscopic Atomizing Solution System ("LASS")
The LASS Platform is an atomizing solution system designed to deliver therapeutics/anesthetics in a manner that infiltrates tissue to have a specific therapeutic effect. VectorMist is the first product in the LASS Platform.
VectorMist is a catheter-based system designed for targeted delivery of atomized therapeutics directly into the surgical field during laparoscopic procedures. This novel approach provides access to the operative field for procedures such as hernia repairs and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A prototype of VectorMist is shown below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)

The device delivers an atomized combination of drugs through the catheter into the operating field, with the specific therapeutic combination determined by the surgeon and anesthesiologist during surgery. A visual of the device is shown below:

By delivering medication directly to the target tissue rather than systemically, patients experience less nausea, faster recovery, and shorter stays in the recovery unit. Direct tissue infiltration also produces a quicker onset of analgesia, longer duration and minimal exposure of drug influence on non-targeted organs.
With approximately 15 million laparoscopic surgeries performed each year globally, nearly 5 million in the United States, $^{3}$ VectorMist addresses a substantial market opportunity.
VectorMist is designed and Vector has a design lock down on the atomizing device. Performance testing is completed and commercial production catheters have been made. Additionally, Vector has a tray design with samples made.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
VectorMist pursues 510(k) clearance as Class II medical device claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices for local anesthetic delivery. As such, pre-market approval, required for high-risk, Class III devices, is not required for LASS. This pathway typically requires six to twelve months from submission to clearance. Pre-submission documentation includes detailed device description, intended use, preliminary substantial equivalence comparison, proposed testing protocols, clinical trial protocols, and draft labeling.
The 510(k) submission presents a clear compelling case for substantial equivalence including device description with specifications, substantial equivalence discussion, biocompatibility summary, performance testing results, clinical data, proposed labeling, and quality system information. Vector's submission strategy emphasizes completeness and clarity, anticipating reviewer questions. Regulatory consultants review draft submissions identifying potential deficiencies before formal submission.
Based on the above productization, the VectorMist timeline from current state to commercial launch spans approximately three to six months. Vector has substantially prepared the file for the first 510(k) and has filed an FDA Q-submission to clarify any concerns the FDA may have prior to submitting the formal application, which is intended to be filed in January 2026. As the FDA has 90 days to respond, Vector has assumed 180 days for approval and a launch in late Q4 2026.
- Biomechanical Transdermal Device ("BTP").
Vector BTP is an electrical biomechanical platform that functions as both a standalone therapeutic intervention and a drug delivery platform competing directly with sustained acoustic medicine devices and pulsed electromagnetic field devices ("PEMF") in regenerative and sports medicine segments. Built on three core principles, smart, steered, and sustained delivery, the device provides therapeutic benefit through its biomechanical action while simultaneously enabling targeted transdermal drug delivery with attributes which favor tissue permeability:
- Smart: The platform incorporates intelligence through biomarker monitoring that optimizes biomechanical dosing in real time, ensuring patients receive optimized therapeutic levels. The Vector BTP's built-in capability to track utilization and monitor biomarkers such as gait quality as a surrogate for pain enables real-time adherence monitoring and outcome validation.
- Steered: Therapeutics are directed into targeted tissue, bypassing systemic circulation and concentrating medication where it is needed most while minimizing exposure to non-targeted areas.
- Sustained: Using a combination of patent-pending molecular transport technologies, the device enables controlled delivery aimed at maintaining consistent therapeutic levels over time.
This approach offers significant advantages over traditional oral and injectable routes, including improved bioavailability, reduced side effects, enhanced patient compliance, and the elimination of painful injections. A photo of the Vector BTP and its interaction with a mobile device is set out below:

The Vector BTP is in the development stage. Vector has various design prototypes and circuits which have been tested and function as intended. Vector still has substantial work needed to get to commercial-ready prototypes. Vector expects to achieve design lock down towards the end of 2026.
To achieve FDA compliance, Vector will first file as a device for mechanical pain management without drug delivery. This sets Vector up for an easier path with the drug delivery, given the device will already be approved. Vector expects to file on the non-drug delivery device in late 2026 or early 2027. The filing on the drug delivery is anticipated in late 2027.
As standalone therapeutic device, the BTP likely qualifies for 510(k) clearance claiming substantial equivalence to physical therapy modalities including ultrasound, pulsed electromagnetic field ("PEMF"), or other energy-based therapeutic devices. When used as drug delivery platform, the Vector BTP may pursue 510(k) as drug delivery system, with specific drug-device combinations potentially requiring separate submissions or falling under pharmaceutical partner filings.
The Vector BTP standalone development targets design verification and validation within 15 to 18 months, pilot clinical studies within 24 months, 510(k) submission within 30 months, FDA clearance and commercial launch within 36 months. Drug delivery platform development through pharmaceutical partnerships has longer timelines with pharmacokinetic studies within 24 months, Phase II efficacy studies within 36 to 48 months, and regulatory submissions within 48 to 60 months.

Financial Risk Management
As at August 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. The fair values of cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity.
Financial Risk Factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, capital management risk and foreign exchange risk. The Company's overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management team.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. All of the Company's financial liabilities, other than warrants liability, have contractual maturity of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company has limited credit risk regarding its funds held trust as that cash is held by a large Canadian law firm.
b) Capital management risk
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to provide returns to the shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital. The Company considers shareholders' equity as capital.
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares to shareholders or sell assets. There are no changes in the Company's capital management policies for the year ended August 31, 2025 and for the period from December 12, 2023 (date of incorporation) through August 31, 2024. There are no external capital management requirements or covenants as at August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.
c) Foreign exchange risk
The Company's operations are mainly completed in US dollars. However, the Company does have transactions denominated in Canadian dollars. As well, it has raised capital in Canadian dollars. As such, the Company is

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
susceptible to changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly for translation of Canadian-dollar denominated borrowings, trade payables and operating expenses. Based on Management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the USD at August 31, 2025, would have decreased the net asset position of the Company by approximately $276,000. A 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the same would have had an equal but opposite effect.
Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Transaction May Not Be Completed
Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, certain of which may be outside the control of Vector and/or Open, including, without limitation, completion of the Concurrent Financing, and receipt of TSXV approval. There can be no assurance, nor can Vector provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied or that the Transaction will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. The requirement to take certain actions or to agree to certain conditions to satisfy such requirements or obtain any such approvals may have a material adverse effect on the business and affairs of the Company or the trading price of the common shares once Vector is public.
Final acceptance of the Transaction by the TSXV will be subject to Open fulfilling all requirements of the TSXV. If such requirements are not met, the Transaction will not be completed. There is no guarantee that Open will be able to satisfy the requirements of the TSXV such that it will issue the Final Exchange Bulletin.
If the Transaction is not completed, Vector will be liable for significant consulting, accounting and legal costs relating to the Transaction and will not realize anticipated benefits of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed and the Board decides to seek another merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party that will agree to equivalent or more attractive terms than those of the Transaction.
Loss of Material Customers
Upon the launch of its products (expected in Q4, 2026), Vector will likely depend on major customers for most of its sales. The loss of all or a substantial portion of Vector's sales from a major customer could have a material adverse effect on Vector's financial condition and results of operations by reducing cash flows and its ability to spread costs over a larger revenue base. In addition, any dispute with a key customer, or an inability or unwillingness of a key customer to pay for the services of Vector may result in Vector incurring significant write-offs of accounts receivable that may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, Vector's major customers may have an increased ability to influence pricing and other contract terms. Therefore, the renegotiation of a major customer contract may also have an adverse effect on Vector's financial results if such renegotiation involves less favourable terms to Vector.
Regulatory Oversight of Vector’s Business
Vector's products will be regulated by major regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is strictly governed by a series of standardized regulations and guidelines to ensure data and product quality including, but not limited to Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") and Good Laboratory Practices. These guidelines are mandatory standards for most regulatory agencies and designed to ensure the highest quality of research and manufacturing for medical devices. These regulations govern the design, development, testing, clinical trials, premarket clearance and approval, safety, marketing and registration of medical devices, in addition to regulating manufacturing practices, reporting, labeling and recordkeeping procedures. Vector team has experience in the development and commercialization of medical devices under these regulations. Vector team has put in place infrastructure to ensure compliance with relevant guidelines, including standard operation

procedures and third-party audits. Despite these precautions, it is possible that activities conducted internally or by a third party may be non-compliant with industry standard regulations, with significant negative impact on Vector.
Vector's products are at various stages of development; risk decreases as the product progresses through the various stages of preclinical and clinical development. Clinical trials of the products may not be successful or may result in unfavourable product profiles, resulting in significantly lower commercial opportunity than currently anticipated. Significant delays and inability to fully realize the value of the products may materially harm the business. Vector has committed significant resources, both human and financial, to the acquisition and development of products. The ability to generate revenues from any future products will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of these products.
During product development, non-compliance with standard guidelines and regulations may invalidate drug product and/or data such that they are not appropriate to support regulatory filings. Vector may be required to repeat development activities as a result, incurring additional development risk and costs. Repeating specific development activities could also delay overall development and commercialization timelines, negatively impacting a product's revenue potential. Adverse effects on timing and costs could lead to discontinuation of product development. In the event that non-compliance with standard guidelines adversely impacts clinical trial activities and trial participants, Vector could also be exposed to substantial reputational risk and legal liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased demand for any products that it may develop, injury to Vector's reputation and significant negative media attention, significant costs to defend the related litigation, substantial monetary awards to trial participants, loss of revenue and the inability to commercialize any products that Vector may develop.
For commercial products, non-compliance with standard guidelines and regulations may prevent Vector from releasing product to the market or require Vector to withdraw product from the market. In either case, Vector would incur manufacturing costs for product without the potential to generate revenues. In addition, delays in delivery of product to the market could adversely impact long-term product utilization and drive substitution to competitor products. In the case where product released to the market is retroactively found to be non-compliant with existing guidelines, Vector could also incur significant costs related to the returns, refunds, and destructions of non-compliant product. Additionally, Vector could be exposed to substantial reputational risk and legal liabilities with potential negative consequences outlined above.
In any situation of guideline non-compliance, Vector will be required to undertake a comprehensive investigation and engage in activities to remedy and prevent future deviations. These activities could impose significant costs on Vector and draw resources away from other Vector objectives.
Ability to Obtain Required Regulatory Approvals for Vector's Products
Vector's products, and the activities associated with their development and commercialization, including their design, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, record keeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries. Failure to obtain regulatory approval for a product will prevent Vector from commercializing the product. Vector has not received regulatory approval to market any of its products in any jurisdiction. The Company has only limited experience in filing and supporting the applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals and expects to rely on third party contract research organizations to assist it in this process.
The process of obtaining regulatory approvals, both in the United States and abroad, is expensive, may take many years if additional clinical trials are required, and can vary substantially based upon a variety of factors, including the type, complexity and novelty of the products involved. Changes in regulatory approval policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. The FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries has substantial discretion in the approval process and may

(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
refuse to accept any application or may decide that Vector's data is insufficient for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical, or other studies.
A critical factor affecting development timelines is the availability of regulatory agency staff for essential communications, reviews, and approvals. Timely alignment and feedback from agencies such as the FDA are vital to advancing Vector's programs. However, delays or resource constraints—including staffing shortages—may limit the availability of regulatory input, which can hinder progress and extend review timelines. If Vector experiences delays in obtaining approval or if it fails to obtain approval of its products, the commercial prospects for Vector's product may be harmed and its ability to generate revenues will be materially impaired.
Risk of Post-Regulatory-Approval Marketing and Use Limitations
Any product for which Vector acquires marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, advertising, and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual requirements of, and review by, the FDA and other regulatory authorities. These requirements include, among others, submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration and listing requirements, FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities where the proposed product is produced to assess compliance with current GMP requirements ("cGMP"), quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements regarding the distribution of samples to physicians and record keeping. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of medical technology to ensure medical technologies are marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA imposes stringent restrictions on manufacturers' communications regarding off-label use and if Vector does not market its products for their approved indications, Vector may be subject to enforcement action for off-label marketing.
In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with Vector's products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may yield various results, including the restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes; the restrictions on the marketing of a product; the restrictions on product distribution; requirements to conduct post-marketing clinical trials; withdrawal of the products from the market; refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that it submits; recall of products; fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue; suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals; refusal to permit the import or export of Vector's products; product seizure; or injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
Ability to Achieve Market Access
Even if any of Vector's products receive marketing approval by the FDA and by comparable authorities in other countries, there is no guarantee they will gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare practitioners and others in the medical community. If Vector's products do not achieve sufficient level of acceptance, Vector may not generate sufficient revenues and may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of Vector's products will depend on a number of factors, including the potential advantages Vector's product provides compared to alternative treatments, the price, the convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments, the willingness of the physicians to prescribe Vector's new products, the strength of marketing and distribution support through its partners, sufficient third party coverage or reimbursement and the prevalence and severity of any side effects.
The Company's ability to commercialize any products successfully will also depend on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for these products and related treatments will be available from government healthcare programs, private health insurers, managed care plans, and other organizations. Government authorities and third-party payers, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which medications

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels. A primary trend in the U.S. healthcare industry is cost containment. Government authorities and third-party payers have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular technologies. Vector cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that Vector commercializes and, if reimbursement is available, the level of reimbursement. Reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product for which Vector obtains marketing approval. If reimbursement is not available or is available only to limited levels, the Company may not be able to successfully commercialize any product for which Vector obtained marketing approval. There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage and reimbursement for newly developed medical technologies, and coverage may be more limited than the purposes for which the drug is approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Moreover, eligibility for coverage and reimbursement does not imply that a product will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale, and distribution expenses. Interim reimbursement levels for new products, if applicable, may also be insufficient to cover Vector's costs and may not be made permanent. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the product and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost technologies and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for medical technology products may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payers.
Third party payers often rely upon Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies. The Company's inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable payment rates from both government-funded and private payers for any approved products could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, ability to raise capital needed to commercialize products and overall financial condition.
Additionally, current and potential customers, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop or acquire their own solutions for transdermal drug delivery that would reduce or eliminate the demand for Vector's products.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Laws and Regulations
Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payers play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any products for which Vector obtains marketing approval. Vector's future arrangements with third party payers and customers may expose Vector to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which it markets, sells, and distributes its products for which it obtains marketing approval. Restrictions under applicable United States federal and state healthcare laws and regulations that may impact Vector's activities, include the following:
- the federal healthcare anti-kickback statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under federal and state healthcare programs;
- civil penalties could be imposed against individuals or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government;
- criminal and civil liability could be imposed for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program and also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;
- manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics, and medical supplies are generally required to report information related to physician payments and other transfers of value and physician ownership and investment interests; and
- analogous laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third party payers, including private insurers, and some laws require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry's voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government in addition to requiring drug manufacturers

to report information related to payments to physicians and other health care providers or marketing expenditures.
Costs will be substantial to ensure that Vector's business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations in each jurisdiction when Vector products will eventually be offered. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that Vector's business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If Vector's operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to it, it may be subject to significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, and the curtailment or restructuring of Vector's operations. If any of the physicians or other providers or entities with whom Vector's expects to do business are found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs.
Reliance on Third Party Manufacturers
Vector currently does not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and does not have any significant in-house manufacturing experience or personnel. As such, Vector relies on third party contract manufacturers to manufacture product candidates and work with multiple third-party suppliers to produce sufficient quantities of materials required for the manufacture of Vector's products for preclinical testing and clinical trials and intends to do so for the commercial manufacture of Vector's products.
Reliance on third party manufacturers entails risks which Vector would not be subject if Vector manufactured its product candidates, including the following:
- reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality control and assurance;
- the possibility of breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party because of factors beyond Vector's control (including a failure to manufacture Vector's products in accordance with the product specifications); and
- the possibility of termination or nonrenewal of the agreement by the third party at a time that is costly or damaging to Vector.
The manufacturers may encounter difficulties in scaling up production, including quality control and quality assurance. There may only be a limited number of manufacturers can supply certain components of Vector's products, and failure by the manufacturer to deliver the required quantities of such components on a timely basis and/or at commercially reasonable prices, may have a material adverse effect on Vector. In the event that a manufacturer stops supplying the required part(s), Vector may need to identify an alternative source of such components, which may cause substantial delays to one or all of Vector's clinical programs.
The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that Vector's products be manufactured according to cGMP and similar foreign standards. Any discovery of problems with a product, or a manufacturing or laboratory facility used by Vector's collaborators, may result in restrictions on the product or on the manufacturing or laboratory facility, including product recall, suspension of manufacturing, product seizure or a voluntary withdrawal of the product from the market. Any failure by our third-party manufacturers to comply with cGMP or any failure to deliver sufficient quantities of products in a timely manner, could lead to a delay in, or failure to obtain, regulatory approval of any of Vector's products.
Protection of Vector's Intellectual Property Rights
One of Vector's principal assets is its intellectual property assets. Consequently, the protection of Vector's intellectual property rights is expected to be crucial to the success of its business. Vector has sought to protect Vector's proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States to its novel technologies and products

(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
that are important to its business. This process is expensive and time-consuming, and Vector may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. In addition, patents might not be issued or granted with respect to Vector's patent applications that are currently pending and issued or granted patents might later be found to be invalid or unenforceable, be interpreted in a manner that does not adequately protect Vector's current product or any future products or fail to otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies is generally uncertain because it involves complex legal and factual considerations and in recent years has been the subject of much litigation. The standards applied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices in granting patents are not always applied uniformly or predictably. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of Vector's patent rights are highly uncertain. The degree of future protection that Vector will have on its proprietary products and technology, if any, is uncertain and a failure to obtain adequate intellectual property protection with respect to Vector's products and proprietary technology could have a material adverse impact on the success of its business.
Numerous patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the field where Vector has commercialized, and expects to further commercialize, its licensed technology and sell its products. These patents and patent applications might have priority over Vector's current and future intellectual property applications and could subject Vector's applications to invalidation and/or prevent one or more of such applications to be granted to provide an enforceable patent right. Vector may be unable to obtain adequate patent protection or any patent protection for technology claimed in its applications, or such patent protection may not be obtained quickly enough to meet its business needs.
Third Party Intellectual Property Infringement
Vector's success and ability to compete also depends in part on its ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell its products and use its proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Third-party intellectual property rights, including trademark registrations, pending trademark applications and non-registered common law use, may cover Vector's patents, the way Vector markets its goods and services, and/or Vector's technology. These third-party rights may preclude Vector from making, using or selling its commercial products and services. This risk exists independently of Vector's licensed patent rights. Current and potential competitors may own patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and may pursue litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights. The Company may receive notices that claim it has infringed, misappropriated, misused or otherwise violated other parties' intellectual property rights. These other parties may have the capability to dedicate substantial resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them.
Although to-date Vector has not received any notices that it has violated intellectual rights of any third party, to the extent Vector gains greater commercial visibility, Vector faces a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation claims. Any intellectual property litigation initiated against Vector may involve non-practicing patent assertion entities or companies who use their patents as a means to extract license fees by threatening costly litigation or that have minimal operations or relevant product revenue. Vector's licensed patent rights may provide little or no deterrence or protection against such non-practicing patent assertion entities. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the technology's long-term viability may adversely affect an investment in Vector. As a result, an intellectual property claim could adversely affect the business and affairs of Vector.
As a result of any such allegations of intellectual property infringement, Vector may need to redesign or rebrand its products and services. This may include developing alternative non-infringing technology or branding, which could require significant effort and expense. Vector could be forced to negotiate the rights to the third party's intellectual property to continue to develop and market Vector's products and technology. Vector could be required to seek a license for third-party intellectual property. There is no guarantee that Vector will be able to obtain any required

license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if Vector was able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving its competitors access to the same technologies licensed to Vector. Even if a license were available, Vector could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase its expenses. If Vector cannot license rights or develop alternative technology for any infringing aspect of its business, it would be forced to limit or stop sales of one or more of its products or services, it could lose existing customers, and it may be unable to compete effectively. In addition, Vector could be found liable for additional monetary damages. Any of these results would materially harm Vector's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Claims that Vector has misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on its business.
Intellectual Property Rights Claims Against Third Parties
Likewise, Vector may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement, misappropriation or other violation of its intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights or to establish the validity of its intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights. Any such litigation, whether or not resolved in Vector's favor, could be time-consuming, result in significant expense to and divert the efforts of technical and management personnel. The court may decide in an infringement proceeding that a specific patent held by Vector is not valid or enforceable or may refuse to stop the other party from using Vector's intellectual technology at issue on the grounds that its patents do not cover the intellectual property being disputed. Attempts to enforce intellectual property rights against third parties could also provoke these third parties to assert their own intellectual property rights or other claims against Vector or result in a holding that invalidates or narrows the scope of Vector's rights, in whole or in part. Additionally, due to the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Vector's confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.
Third parties may also legitimately and independently develop products, services and technology similar to, or duplicative of, Vector's products and services. Despite Vector's best efforts, third parties may attempt to disclose, obtain, copy or use Vector's intellectual property rights or other proprietary information or technology without authorization. Efforts to protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights may not prevent such unauthorized disclosure or use, misappropriation, infringement, reverse engineering or other infringement of these rights.
Reliance on Contracts to Protect Intellectual Property
Vector's agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification provisions under which it agrees to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of third party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights, damages caused by Vector to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from its platforms, services, or other contractual obligations. Large indemnity payments could harm the business, financial condition and operations of Vector. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on its relationship with that customer, other existing customers and new customers which could harm the business and results of operations.
In addition to protection under intellectual property laws, Vector relies on confidentiality or license agreements that it will generally enter into with corporate partners, employees, consultants, contractors, advisors, vendors and customers. Vector will generally limit access to and distribution of its proprietary information. However, Vector cannot be certain that it will have entered into such agreements with all parties who may have or had access to confidential information or that the agreements entered into will not be breached or challenged or that such breaches will be detected. Furthermore, non-disclosure provisions can be difficult to enforce, and even if successfully enforced, may not be entirely effective. Vector cannot guarantee that any of the measures it will have taken will prevent infringement, misappropriation or other violation of its technology or other intellectual property or proprietary rights. The Company also may be a target for a cyberattack, which poses a risk of unauthorized access to, and misappropriation of, its proprietary and competitively sensitive information.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year ended August 31, 2025
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless stated otherwise)
Ability to Complete Favourable Acquisitions
As part of Vector's business strategy, it may attempt to acquire businesses that it believes are a strategic fit with its business. Vector may not be able to complete such acquisitions on favourable terms, if at all. Any future acquisitions may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of its business. Since Vector may not be able to accurately predict these difficulties and expenditures, these costs may outweigh the value it realizes from a future acquisition and any acquisition Vector completes could be viewed negatively by its customers. Future acquisitions could result in an issuance of securities that would dilute shareholders' ownership interest, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization of expenses related to other intangible assets, and the incurrence of large, immediate write-offs.
Global Macroeconomic Trends can Impact Vector
Various macroeconomic factors could adversely affect Vector's business and the results of Vector's operations and financial condition, including changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and overall economic conditions and uncertainties, including those resulting from political instability and the current and future conditions in the global financial markets. For instance, if inflation, tariffs or other factors were to significantly increase Vector's business costs, it may not be feasible to pass through price increases. Interest rates, the liquidity of the credit markets and the volatility of the capital markets could also affect the value of Vector's investments and Vector's ability to liquidate Vector's investments in order to fund Vector's operations, if necessary. In addition, interest rates and the ability to access credit markets could also adversely affect the ability of customers to purchase and pay for Vector's services. These factors could adversely affect Vector's business and financial condition.
Additional Financing
The advancement and development of Vector's business may require substantial additional financing. As a result, Vector may be required to seek additional sources of equity financing in the near future. Vector's ability to raise additional equity financing may be affected by numerous factors beyond its control including, but not limited to, adverse market conditions, commodity price changes and economic downturns. There can be no assurance that Vector will be successful in obtaining any additional financing required to continue its business operations or that such financing will be sufficient to meet Vector's objectives.
Litigation
Vector may become subject to disputes with customers, commercial parties with whom it maintains relationships or other parties with whom it does business. Any such dispute could result in litigation between Vector and the other parties.
There is an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of Vector's products in human clinical trials and Vector will face an even greater risk if it commercially sells any products that it may develop. The Company's current products have not been widely used over an extended period of time, and therefore, safety data is limited.
In addition, any intellectual property rights, including Vector's licensed patent rights, may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, held unenforceable and/or circumvented in litigation or other administrative proceedings, including, where applicable, opposition, re-examination, inter partes review, post-grant review, interference, nullification and derivation proceedings and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Such challenges to Vector's intellectual property rights may result in substantial cost and require significant time from management, even if the eventual outcome is favorable. Vector may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Vector may conclude that in at least some instances the benefits of protecting its intellectual property or other proprietary rights may be outweighed by the expense or distraction to its

management. Effective protection of Vector's intellectual property rights, including its licensed patent rights, may not be available in every country in which its products or services are available. The laws of some countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States and Canada, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, any enforceable patent or other intellectual property rights obtained may be lost or no longer provide Vector meaningful competitive advantages. Also, any public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments could be perceived to be negative by securities analysts or investors, leading to a potential adverse effect on the price of Vector Shares, should the Transaction be completed.
Whether or not any dispute actually proceeds to litigation, Vector may be required to devote significant resources, including management time and attention, to its successful resolution (through litigation, settlement or otherwise), which would detract from management's ability to focus on Vector's business. Any such resolution could involve the payment of damages or expenses by Vector, which may be significant. In addition, any such resolution could involve Vector's agreement to certain settlement terms that restrict the operation of its business.
Insurance and Uninsured Risks
Vector's business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including industrial accidents, labour disputes, catastrophic equipment failures and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to Vector's facilities, personal injury or death to Vector's properties or the properties of others, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Although Vector will maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with Vector's operations. Vector may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Losses from these events may cause Vector to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.
Attracting and Retaining Talented Personnel
Vector's success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of management and other personnel in conducting the business of Vector. Vector will rely on its management team and other key personnel in the areas of marketing and sales, and research and development, among others, and the loss of any of these individuals or the inability to attract suitably qualified staff could materially adversely impact the business. Vector's ability to manage its operating, development, and financing activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Vector's success will depend on the ability of management and employees to interpret market data successfully and to interpret and respond to economic, market and other business conditions in order to locate and adopt appropriate investment opportunities, monitor such investments and ultimately, if required, successfully divest such investments. Further, key personnel may not continue their association or employment with Vector, which may not be able to find replacement personnel with comparable skills. Vector has sought to and will continue to ensure that management and any key personnel are appropriately compensated; however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If Vector is unable to attract and retain key personnel, business may be adversely affected. Vector faces intense competition for qualified personnel, especially for employees experienced in designing and developing medical technology products, and there can be no assurance that Vector will be able to attract and retain such personnel.
Competition
The industries in which Vector will operate are competitive. Some competitor companies can be expected to offer similar services and products and have longer operating histories and more financial resources and marketing experience than Vector. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and

adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of Vector. Some of these competitors and new entrants may have brands that are or become more widely recognized by consumers than Vector's brand, and they may also have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical or other resources. Vector's competitors may also merge or form strategic partnerships. The Company may face further competition from medical technology companies that focus their efforts on developing and marketing products that are similar in nature to its products, but may offer improvements over Vector's product, in either effectiveness or price. These factors could adversely impact Vector's competitive position. To remain competitive, Vector will require a continued high level of investment in operations, marketing, and sales. Its success will partly depend on its ability to secure superiority in its product and operations and maintain such superiority in the face of new products and competition. Vector may not have sufficient resources to maintain operations, products, marketing, sales and customer support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of Vector.
If Vector fails to predict customers' needs and demands and achieve further market acceptance in the industry it serves, or if a competitor establishes a similar technological solution that is more widely adopted, it could adversely impact Vector's ability to grow its business and operations could be harmed.
Possible Conflicts of Interest of Directors and Officers of Vector
The directors and officers of Vector may also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Vector expects that any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving Vector will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Vector and its shareholders, but there can be no assurance in this regard.
Dividends
Vector does not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as Vector anticipates that any future earnings will be re-invested in the development and growth of the business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their Vector Shares, assuming completion of the Transaction, and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in Vector Shares.
Public Company Costs and Regulatory Compliance
Once public, Vector will incur costs as a public company for regulatory compliance and operations, which could have a material adverse impact on Vector's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, future changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to Vector's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Vector. Vector's efforts to grow its business may be costlier than expected, and Vector may not be able to increase its revenue enough to offset its higher operating expenses. The Company may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described herein, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown events. If Vector is unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of Vector Shares may significantly decrease.
Uncertainty of Revenue Growth
There can be no assurance that Vector can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that Vector has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, Vector may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund higher levels of sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth.

General
Vector develops novel biomechanical devices and active transdermal drug delivery platforms to equip clinicians with non-systemic, localized interventions targeting a broad cross-section of diseases and conditions where systemic delivery of interventions compromises the therapeutic effect or introduces unacceptable harm.
The Company has two product platforms and applications:
- Laparoscopic Atomizing Solution System (“LASS”)
The LASS Platform is an atomizing solution system designed to deliver therapeutics/anesthetics in a manner that infiltrates tissue to have a specific therapeutic effect. VectorMist is the first product in the LASS Platform.
VectorMist is a catheter-based system designed for targeted delivery of atomized therapeutics directly into the surgical field during laparoscopic procedures. This novel approach provides access to the operative field for procedures such as hernia repairs and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Biomechanical Transdermal Device (“BTP”)
Vector BTP is an electrical biomechanical platform that functions as both a standalone therapeutic intervention and a drug delivery platform competing directly with sustained acoustic medicine devices and pulsed electromagnetic field devices in regenerative and sports medicine segments. Built on three core principles, smart, steered, and sustained delivery, the device provides therapeutic benefit through its biomechanical action while simultaneously enabling targeted transdermal drug delivery with attributes which favor tissue permeability.
Vector was incorporated on December 12, 2023, pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company's head office is located at 12250 Corporate Parkway, Mequon, WI, 53092 3300. The Company's registered office is located at 16192 Coastal Hwy in the City of Lewes, County of Sussex, State of Delaware.
Any reference to “note” or “notes” in this MD&A refer to the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements.
The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on April 14, 2026.
The Company's newly-adopted standards and its accounting policies are detailed in note 4 of the Interim Financial Statements.
Qualifying Transaction (the “Transaction”)
On October 1, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“Agreement”) that amended, restated and replaced in its entirety the letter of intent originally executed on November 27, 2024, as amended effective March 24, 2025, with OpenSesame Acquisition Corp.

As a result, the go-forward entity (Company) is deemed to be a continuation of Vector and Vector is deemed to have acquired control of the assets and business of Open in the consideration of the issuance of capital, options and warrants, as applicable.
For accounting purposes, Vector is deemed to have issued the following securities:
i) 5,500,000 shares (the "Open Common Shares") with fair value of $0.073 (C$0.10) per share for total of $401,284 (C$550,000).

The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position has been prepared using accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements of Open and Vector.
Certain significant estimates have been made by management in preparation of these pro forma financial statements, in particular, the determination of the fair value of Open’s assets and liabilities acquired and the fair value of the consideration given by Vector. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the effective date of the Transaction and may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the assumed pro forma purchase price allocation because of changes in fair value of the assets and liabilities up to the date of effective date of the Transaction, and as further analysis is completed.
The Pro forma Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2025, give effect to the following adjustments:
(a) As the functional currency of Open is the Canadian dollar, upon completion of the Transaction, the warrants liability of the Company ceases. Adjustments to eliminate the warrants liability of $949,541 were made, as follows:
(i) Increase to warrant reserves for the original fair value of the Vector warrants:
(A) Issued for the year ended August 31, 2025, for $1,087,375; plus
(B) Issued for the three months ended November 30, 2025, for $31,979.
(ii) Reversal of changes in fair value of warrants liability:
(A) For the year ended August 31, 2025, of $59,508; plus

(B) For the three months ended November 30, 2025, of $110,305.
(b) On completion of the Transaction and listing on the TSXV, the Company issued 1,000,000 advisor options (the "Advisor Options"), with fair value of $37,662, an exercise price of C$0.10 per Advisor Option and a term of 5 years. See note 3(e) for Black-Sholes assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Advisor Options.
(c) On completion of the Transaction and listing on the TSXV, the Company issued 8,799,000 common shares at a fair value of $641,982 (C$879,900).
(d) Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction and listing on the TSXV, the Company completed a financing (the "Financing") consisting of
i) 20,000,000 units (each a "Unit"), raising gross proceeds of $1,459,215 (C$2,000,000).
ii) Each Unit consisted of 1 common share plus 1 share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable at $0.18 (C$0.25) for a period of 3 years after issue. See note 3(e) for Black-Sholes assumptions used to estimate the relative fair value of $396,000 of the Warrants, which was deducted from common shares.
iii) In connection with the Financing, 1,600,000 advisor warrants (each, an "Advisor Warrant") were issued. Each Advisor Warrant is exercisable at $0.072 (C$0.100) for a period of 3 years. The fair value of the Advisor Warrants of $47,200 has been deducted from common shares. See note 3(e) for Black-Sholes assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Advisor Warrants. The fair value of the Advisor Warrants has been allocated to (A) common shares, $34,173 and (B) finance fees, $13,027, being the same basis as the Warrants.
iv) A cash advisor fee of $116,737 (C$160,000) was also paid. The fee was allocated to (A) common shares, $84,518 and (B) warrants, $32,219, being the same basis as the Warrants.
