DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on July 18, 2017. The Company was established to take advantage of a new business opportunity to use patented Invisicare® technology in the production of skin products containing cannabinoids from cannabis and hemp, including but not limited to THC, CBD and hemp seed oil. Under the terms of the Invisicare Agreement described in detail below, the Company holds the exclusive worldwide right to manufacture, distribute, sell, market, sub-license and promote products formulated with Invisicare®, containing cannabinoids, hemp seed oil or synthetic derivatives of cannabis.

Invisicare® is a patented polymer-based technology for topical and transdermal skin care products. The advantages of products using Invisicare® are enhancement of drug delivery to the skin by delivering greater amounts and enhancing cannabinoid penetration to enter the blood stream as required. The technology also forms a protective bond that holds ingredients on skin resisting rub-off and wash off, is non-occlusive and allows for normal skin respiration and perspiration and the formulations do not contain alcohol, parabens, waxes or other organic solvents.

The Company’s business model is to sublicense Invisicare® enhanced product formulations to licensed businesses engaged in the production of cannabis or hemp products for approved markets and/or geographic areas. The Company’s licensee is Lighthouse Strategies, LLC, which held the exclusive license for the United States for licensed dispensaries and non-exclusive outside of dispensaries in the United States. On October 28, 2020, the Company amended the Lighthouse Agreement in a one-year agreement which makes CBD products non-exclusive and only THC products exclusive and limits their licenced territory to the state of Nevada.

Under the Company’s business model, it earns revenue from a number of sources including, licensing fees, product development fees, product royalties, and polymer sales to its licensees. The Company also earns revenue from the sale of its cannabis and non-cannabis products.

Since incorporation on July 18, 2017, the Company’s activities have focused on developing product lines and entering licensing agreements, including the Lighthouse License Agreement. The Company intends to continue licensing with other government licensed companies engaged in the sale of cannabinoid and/or hemp seed oil containing products worldwide.

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

The Company develops skin care lines containing hemp seed oil and cannabis, and licenses rights to hemp seed oil and cannabis products. The Company has the exclusive world-wide rights to all hemp seed oil and cannabis products (hemp and marijuana) developed with Invisicare®, which enhances the delivery of drugs and other ingredients to and through the skin. The Company, through the Invisicare® Agreement has the right to use Invisicare®, a skin delivery technology covered by patents in eleven (11) countries including the USA and Canada. The Company has developed topical and transdermal creams and lotions made with CBD, THC and combinations thereof plus hemp seed oil. All formulations are formulated with Invisicare® and go through a rigorous pharmaceutical testing process to ensure the formulations are validated throughout the process. The Company does not handle product formulas containing marijuana and the production and testing of marijuana containing products are conducted at the licensed premises of its licensees. As previously discussed, the Company’s business model is also to license the Invisicare® enhanced products to licensed businesses engaged in the production of cannabis or hemp products for certain markets and/or geographic areas.

In April 2019, the Company announced it will be launching its own hemp-derived CBD anti-aging skin care line called ARLO CBD Beauty. ARLO CBD Beauty initially launched four products with future line extensions available. This announcement was followed by the results of Ovation’s sunscreen testing. Ovation’s CBD SPF 30 sunscreen passed independent testing for highest claims available: broad-spectrum and 80-minute water-resistance. This product will be added to the ARLO CBD Beauty product line.

To support the Company’s continued efforts to develop science-based products, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Skincareguide.com Ltd., a leading international peer-reviewed publisher and an authoritative source of dermatology information for physicians and consumers since 2001, to act as the Company’s Medical Dermatology Advisory Board for cannabis formulated products. The objective of the Medical Dermatology Advisory Board is to provide guidance, along with clinical, scientific, research and strategic advice to the Company as it continues to advance its topical and transdermal cannabis product development.

On May 22, 2019, the Company announced the completion of its second cannabidiol (“CBD”) product line Invibe® MD. Invibe MD is a “health and wellness” product line infused with hemp-derived CBD and delivered by Ovation’s patented skin delivery technology.

On February 13, 2020, the Company announced that it has entered into an extendable three-year, exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to manufacture, market and sell its DermSafe® hand sanitizer. It is the first non-cannabis product distributed by Ovation Science Inc., DermSafe is proven to kill a host of bacteria and viruses, including envelope viruses and it provides an extra level of continued protection since it remains bound to the skin for up to four hours, resisting both wash-off and rub off.

On June 10, 2020, the Company entered into a License Renewal Agreement (the “Renewal Agreement”) with Skinvisible, whereby the Company accelerated the renewal payments in exchange for all rights to the DermSafe product globally, the DermSafe Health Canada Drug Identification numbers, trademarks, clinical data and certain rights to patent to the Company.

Hemp and CBD regulatory environment in the United States

The Company is directly involved in the Industrial Hemp, hemp seed oil, and CBD marketplace in the State of Nevada and other states which have regulated such activity.

All Industrial Hemp produced and sold by the Company constitutes Industrial Hemp under the 2018 and 2014 Farm Bills, as well as the laws of the states in which it produces and sells such Industrial Hemp and its Products.

The Products will be legal as a matter of federal law because they will constitute hemp as defined in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (“ 2018 Farm Bill ”). As a result, the Products may be legally shipped and transported in interstate commerce as a matter of federal law. The Products will be legal as a matter of the laws of Nevada for the same reason and may be legally offered for retail sale in Nevada.

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

It is noted, however, that topical products containing CBD fall within the regulatory jurisdiction of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) (“ Food and Drug Act ”). Accordingly, because they will contain CBD, certain of the Products, including the Company’s skin care Products, may be subject to enhanced scrutiny or enforcement action by FDA.

2018 Farm Bill

On December 20, 2018 the 2018 Farm Bill became law in the United States. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial and commercial hemp will no longer be classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp includes the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids and isomers. To qualify under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp must contain no more than 0.3 percent of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Moving forward, the 2018 Farm Bill forever deems hemp an agricultural commodity. As such, federal law enforcement and regulatory officials can no longer mistake hemp for its illicit cousin, marijuana, also a subspecies of the cannabis plant.

The 2018 Farm Bill explicitly allows interstate commerce of hemp which will enable the transportation and shipment of hemp. Ovation expects the removal of hemp as a controlled substance will positively impact the public perception of hemp and sales of its topical and transdermal products containing CBD should increase. In addition, Ovation expects that now that industrial and commercial hemp is federally authorized, the barriers to national distribution have been eliminated and therefore the trend should be product sales expanding nationally in the United States for Ovation and its licensees.

Accordingly, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) no longer has any possible claim to interfere with interstate commerce involving hemp products. This should give comfort to federally-regulated institutions -- pharmacies, banks, merchant services, credit card companies, e-commerce sites, and advertising platforms -- as well as private retailers, to conduct commerce involving hemp and the hemp product industry.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) retains exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation of ingestible and topical hemp-derived products, as the 2018 Farm Bill does not amend or modify the Food and Drug Act, section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), or certain authorities of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs or Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The 2018 Farm Bill does not, however, pre-empt state or local law. As such, through their regulatory plans, states or tribes may impose separate (and greater) restrictions or requirements on hemp production in their jurisdiction.

Prior to enactment of the 2018 Farm Bill, the Agricultural Act of 2014 (“ 2014 Farm Bill ”) regulated the production of hemp at the federal level. Under this regime, states -- through their departments of agriculture -- were authorized to establish agricultural pilot programs for the production of hemp for research purposes, including marketing studies. The 2014 Farm Bill sanctioned, but did not require, states to establish agricultural pilot programs for the growth and cultivation of hemp for research purposes. At least forty-one (41) states, including Nevada, established agricultural pilot programs under the 2014 Farm Bill, some of them with broader permissions (and more sophisticated regulatory frameworks) than others.

The Company’s objective is to capitalize on the opportunities presented as a result of the changing regulatory environment governing the industrial hemp, hemp oil and cannabis industry in the State of Nevada and, if permitted, other states in the U.S. Accordingly, there are a number of significant risks associated with the business of the Company. If the FDA takes a position regulating all CBD products intended for human or pet consumption there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce this position, and some or all of the products produced by the business of the Company may be deemed unfit for consumption.

For these reasons, the Company’s operations in the U.S. cannabis market may subject the Company to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other Canadian authorities.

There can be no assurance that third party service providers, including, but not limited to, suppliers, contractors and banks will not suspend or withdraw services which could negatively impact the business of the Company.

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

State Law

The Products will also be legal as a matter of Nevada law. The Products will derive from hemp lawfully grown and cultivated as part of IHRP and do not contain more than three tenths of one percent (0.3%) THC. Further, the Products will be protected as hemp products and hemp-derived CBD products under Nevada law. As such, they will be removed from scheduled control as marijuana and may be legally distributed and sold as a matter of Nevada law.

Health Canada

On December 22, 2018, Health Canada published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, draft regulations for edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals. These regulations cover the production and sale of cannabis topicals and permitting their legal sale by October 17, 2019.

This is positive news for Ovation as following legalization of topical CBD and THC products, Ovation can expand its business into Canada.

Cannabis Industry

The Company indirectly derives a portion of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain U.S. states, which industry is illegal under U.S. federal law. The Company is indirectly involved in the cannabis industry in the United States where local state law permits such activities.

Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical or recreational cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act. The Company’s sublicensees have assured that they are in compliance with state licensing and regulatory frameworks.

Almost half of U.S. states have enacted legislation to regulate the sale and use of medical cannabis without limits on THC (as defined herein) while other states have regulated the sale and use of medical cannabis with strict limits on the levels of THC. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical cannabis at the state level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a Schedule II controlled substance under the CSA in the United States and as such, is illegal under federal law in the United States.

As a result of the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, investments in cannabis businesses in the United States are subject to inconsistent legislation and regulation. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a significant risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, which may adversely affect the current and future investments of the Company in the United States. As such, there are a number of risks associated with the Company’s existing and future investments in the United States, and such investments may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges and other authorities in Canada. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to invest in the United States or any other jurisdiction. See “Risk Factors”.

There can be no assurance that third party service providers, including, but not limited to, suppliers, subcontractors and banks will not suspend or withdraw services which could negatively impact the business of the Company.

Recreation transdermal cream

On February 19, 2019, the Company announced the creation of a new product category for the cannabis market: a recreational transdermal cream. This first-to-market recreational cannabis product has been formulated to quickly deliver a high-dose of THC into the blood stream (transdermal).

This new product is marketed and distributed in the USA by Cannabiniers initially under the name BASKiN GLOW and now BASKIN Awake & Excite Cream. This BASKiN formulation contains 500 milligrams of THC and 50

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

milligrams of CBD in each 59 ml bottle. This product will be a game-changer in the cannabis industry and the Company is the leader in this new category.

The recreational transdermal cream has been developed using Ovation's drug delivery technology and has the following unique distinctions; Proprietary polymer delivery system delivers high-dose THC to the blood stream; bypassing first-pass through the liver; Patent-protection means no other cream can deliver like Ovation's; The unique formula delivers THC transdermally without the use of a patch; it's invisible; significant demand has been established with multiple pre-orders; Third-party testing verifies potency of each product; available in Nevada dispensaries and coming soon to other states where legalized.

With over twenty years of topical drug delivery experience, Ovation's management and science team has created a unique pipeline of over twenty-five topical and transdermal cannabis products including CBD, THC and combination products along with a line of anti-aging / beauty products made with CBD.

On May 21, 2019, the Company completed the development of its second cannabidiol (“CBD”) infused product line focused on health and wellness Invibe® MD. The product line is infused with hemp-derived CBD and is delivered by Ovation's patented skin delivery technology. This new product line follows the Company's anti-aging skincare product line ARLO CBD Beauty.

Invibe MD has three products in its line: Troubled Skin, Keep Fit Sports Relief and R&R (Relief & Relax). The product line has additional products that have completed development and will be launched at a later time.

Invibe MD:

Invibe MD wellness creams have been developed using proprietary Invisicare® drug delivery technology; a technology with over twenty years of research and development in the pharmaceutical industry; specifically dermatology;
The Invibe MD products are enhanced with hemp-derived CBD to provide the maximum effect; CBD has many benefits when used topically and without the potential side-effects of smoking, vaping or edibles; CBD is non-psychoactive and does not contain THC so it does not get you high;
All Ovation products are thoroughly tested to ensure product stability and to validate that they deliver the stated amount of high quality CBD.

There are many benefits to using a topically applied CBD product compared to other methods of delivery. Using products like ARLO CBD Beauty or Invibe MD allows the user to apply the cream or lotion directly on the area affected. The CBD is absorbed into the skin and since it does not have to be digested like oils or edibles, the products work quickly and effectively, focusing right on the area where it is needed.

Statements have not been evaluated by Health Canada or the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

On June 25, 2019, the Company announced that its product under license in the USA, remains the #1 topical cannabis product sold in Nevada dispensaries. According to Headset data, a cannabis analytics company that provides key business intelligence to the cannabis industry, Ovation Science's transdermal CBD (cannabidiol) formulation under license again is ranked the #1 selling topical in Nevada during April, May and June by number of units sold according to their latest update. For more information, visit: https://www.headset.io

Ovation's patented skin delivery technology, Invisicare®, is the backbone of all products developed by Ovation Science. It provides exceptional topical and transdermal delivery of CBD and THC to and through the skin; greater than many products on the market according to the Company's research studies.

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

The continued #1 ranking of our product in Nevada will be a catalyst to expansion into other states by our licensee. This will add immediate royalty revenue and shareholder value as our products will have the opportunity to be offered in significantly more dispensaries than before.

The Company also have interest from potential licensees outside of the USA including Canada and Europe and these opportunities would give Ovation's products the opportunity for global expansion. Ovation products are unique from other infused product companies as the Company leverages its expertise in the pharmaceutical industry to develop highly effective, patent-protected products that have the results to prove it.

Ovation products are used for improved wellness, pain management and even anti-aging, to name a few. Ovation earns revenues from licensing and development fees, royalties and the sale of Invisicare to its licensees. In addition, Ovation earns revenue online sales of its line of CBD Beauty and Health & Wellness products. Statements have not been evaluated by Health Canada or the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

On September 23, 2019 the Company announced that it has launched its e-commerce website www.ArloCBDBeauty.com featuring its anti-aging beauty line ARLO CBD Beauty. The website is designed for US consumers who want to purchase high quality anti-aging products infused with the benefits of CBD.

ARLO CBD Beauty products showcase Ovation's commitment to be a leader in the CBD skin care space and to elevate the standards surrounding the quality and efficacy of topical CBD products available to consumers. The website will serve as a platform to highlight Ovation Science's dedication to the following high standards:

High Quality CBD : Ovation uses only high quality, non-psychoactive CBD (cannabinoid), derived from US grown industrial hemp (with less than .03% THC) so our products are non-psychoactive;

Effective Products Backed By Science: Ovation is dedicated to bring only highly effective products to the market with ingredients that work synergistically to bring you the best possible results.

We Stand Behind Our Products: Customer satisfaction is guaranteed or your money is refunded.

Ovation continues to increase shareholder value by seeking expanded patent protection for its products as well as developing new unique, effective products that can be brought to the market in the US, Canada and globally. Ovation also persists in its negotiations with potential global partners for possible licensing opportunities and joint ventures.

DermSafe® Hand Sanitizer w/o Alcohol

During 2020, the Company launched its first non-cannabis product “DermSafe Hand Sanitizer”, which uses chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as its active ingredient. CHG formulated hand care products including soaps have been used worldwide in hospitals as it has a proven ability to kill both bacteria and viruses. DermSafe binds to the hands and resists wash-off and rub-off for up to 4 hours post application while continuing to kill both bacteria and viruses. On February 3, 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive world-rights to DermSafe® Hand Sanitizer, www.dermsafe.com.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has generated revenues in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, from DermSafe product sales.

In Canada the Company has a broker that has established both distributors and retailers of DermSafe. The distributors and retailers have expertise in retail, healthcare and commercial distribution. The Company expects to continue to add to its distributor list.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent outbreak of coronavirus, also known as “COVID19”, a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially

CSE: OVAT OTCQB: OVATF

leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation.

For Ovation, COVID-19 has had both positive and negative effects on the business.

The Company’s DermSafe product, has proven to be effective at killing envelope viruses tested like H1N1, H5N1 and H3N2 (COVID-19 is also an envelope virus) and was also successfully tested against the human coronavirus (Beta Conronavirus strain OC43, a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2); the virus that causes COVID-19 and accepted by the FDA and Health Canada and the independent rest results showed a 9997% reduction in the virus. There has been in incredibly high demand, whereby demand has outstripped the Company’s ability to provide materials such as bottles, caps and ingredients which are harder to obtain due to the worldwide demand arising from COVID-19. There is strong competition for these items as many traditional alcohol hand sanitizers use the same components.

Due to the mandatory closure of non-essential retail stores and dispensaries and the subsequent decrease in sales in the cannabinoid market, the Company has seen a decrease in sales of the Lighthouse products that are sold to their dispensary clients.

The offset of DermSafe sales has made up for where the sales to cannabinoids producers have decreased.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:

As at September 30, 2021, the Company had $870,188 (December 31, 2020 - $380,621) in cash.

The three month decrease is primarily driven by a reduction in professional fees and investor relation fees, while the nine month decrease is primarily driven by a reduction in share-based payments, professional fees and product development.

Other income (expenses)

Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $569 (2020 – $51,273 expenses) and $14,007 (2020 – $66,145 expenses) respectively.

i) The Company’s net loss decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the previous quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in office and general expenses from $86,634 to $65,203, and a decrease in investor relations, from $54,182 to $31,819 which is partially offset by an increase in product development from $2,648 to $17,434.
