(“Relevium” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with: the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021 and the notes thereto, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); the MD&A for the year ended June 30, 2021; and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). .

The effective date of this MD&A is March 13, 2023.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic hit Canada and the United States in March 2020. The operations and financial condition of the Company have been affected by this global health crisis. Since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic, the management and board of Relevium have worked remotely. The Company is in compliance with all federal, provincial, and municipal regulations that have been put in place since the beginning of the pandemic. The Company will continue to monitor closely developments in this regard, with the health and safety of the Company’s employees and management as the primary concern.

OVERVIEW

Relevium is a publicly traded company that operates in the health and wellness industry with a primary focus on online distribution. The Company’s primary listing exchange is the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: RLV); its common shares also trade on the OTCQB (OTCQB: RLLVF) and on the Open Market Segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FRA: 6BX).

The principal business of the Company is the identification, evaluation, acquisition and operations of brands and businesses in the health and wellness markets with a focus on e-commerce. The Company pursues its business strategy through an acquisition and partnership model in a holistic approach to encompass a wide range of health and wellness.

Background

Relevium was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on July 19, 2012, and its registered head office is located at 1000 Sherbrooke Street West, Suite 2700, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Company completed its Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) in August 2015 and began operating under the name Bioflex Technologies Inc., trading under the symbol “BFT” on the TSX-V. On December 17, 2015, the Company rebranded to Relevium Technologies Inc., trading under the symbol “RLV”, in order to reflect better its focus on health and wellness and on the consolidation of brands and businesses in the space.

The Company completed its first acquisition in July 2017, consisting of the assets of Bioganix®, a branded online business in the nutraceutical space, with products sold in the US through Amazon.com and its native website, Bioganix.com. The transaction was conducted through BGX E-Health LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Orlando, Florida.

1 | P a g e

Relevium operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, BGX E-Health LLC and Biocannabix Health Corporation Inc.

BGX E-Health LLC (BGX)

Based in Orlando, Florida, BGX markets dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, sports nutrition, and cosmeceuticals, primarily through its Bioganix® brand portfolio online in the US and, as of September 2018, in Europe. Relevium’s brands, such as Bioganix®, are sold at some of the world’s largest retailers, including Walmart.com and Amazon.com.

The Company’s strategy for growing its brands includes expanding its product offering, adding new distribution channels, and developing partnerships that add value through exclusive ingredients. During the year, the Company developed relationships with companies such as Tersus Life Sciences, Neptune Wellness Solutions and Hempco Food and Fiber in order to provide its current and future customer base with a balanced and comprehensive product offering.

BGX is currently testing a complete line of dietary supplements derived from hemp, with an initial focus on hemp-derived, whole-plant organic extracts rich in CBD (cannabidiol). These hemp-derived dietary supplements are deemed as food supplements rather than medicinal products. The product line will be marketed through its brand LeefyLyfe[TM] and will be sold in the USA, Latin America, and Europe.

The Company launched in February 2019 the Push & Pull System™ by Bioganix®, which is the first-ever comprehensive natural anti-aging system for complete skin care that combines collagen protein supplements (PUSH) and naturally-sourced aloe vera skin anti-aging cream (PULL). This launch is targeting a brand-new revenue stream in the burgeoning cosmeceutical market, which is the fastest growing segment of the health and wellness market.

ADDRESSABLE MARKETS FOR RELEVIUM

The Nutraceutical Market

Nutraceuticals are nutritional supplements derived from natural sources that complement progressive health and wellness programs. Nutraceuticals play a significant role in preventive health and therefore are an area of strategic focus in terms of our business strategy.

Relevium’s initial focus has been on building e-retail assets and expanding product offerings by introducing new formulations to support health and wellness. Investment in this market is supported by industry projections for growth in a market that is estimated to reach USD $38.7 billion by 2020.

The market for nutraceuticals is highly competitive. Direct competition to Relevium consists of publicly and privately-owned companies, which tend to be highly fragmented in terms of both geographic market coverage and product categories. In many of the products offered through Bioganix®, the Company competes not only with widely advertised branded products, but also with private label products.

The Company’s management, combined with the support of the members of its Board of Directors and Advisory Board, has access to strong innovation capabilities and has established access to high-quality manufacturing through the acquisition of Bioganix®. Management believes that it is well-positioned to capitalize on favorable long-term trends in the nutraceutical market.

2 | P a g e

The Market for Personal Protection Equipment (“PPE”) and the Current Pandemic

Valued at USD$52.7 billion in 2019 and expected to reach USD$92.5 billion by 2025, the growth of this market is driven primarily by the current COVID-19 pandemic and corporations’ focus on employee protection to reduce injuries at work. Rising industrial fatalities give the direction for the government and the employers to provide the protective equipment for the workers’ protection and to reduce the injury rate.

In April 2020, the Company entered this market by manufacturing a line of hand sanitizers to meet the demand in the market. In July 2020, the Company entered into a joint cooperation agreement with H-Source Holdings, an online secured platform that allows buyers and sellers of PPE to conduct business in a secured and verifiable platform.

In September 2020, the Company secured a contract totaling $US20 million to supply PPE to government agencies and began to work with H-Source to negotiate and secure supply.

In 2021, the Company continued to deal with logistics and supply issues. The company has developed direct relationships with one of the largest manufacturers of protective medical gloves in the world and expects this market to continue to be of strategic significance to the Company.

As of the date of this MD&A, the market has regulated most supply issues and prices have settled to a new level somewhat higher than pre-pandemic.

OUTLOOK

In addition to the launch and development of its entrepreneurial start-up in medical cannabis, the Company will continue to focus on the acquisition of e-retail brands, businesses and technologies in the health and wellness market. As part of the overall acquisition strategy, Relevium will invest in optimizing and developing the acquired e-brands and business following a business model that includes:

  • Marketing and product positioning strategies into segmented demographics in the US

  • • Continued review of its current product line and product development

  • Obtaining licenses or direct sourcing of exclusive products

  • Partnerships and joint ventures for new products

COVID-19

As of the date of this MD&A, the Pandemic has been regulated and, in most countries, it is under control. Management will continue to monitor the post pandemic situation and attempt to orient the Company’s operations and corporate strategy, accordingly, including product positioning of its protective gear product line.

As per the agreement among the Company and all Convertible Note holders, the maturity date of these Notes was initially extended to January 31, 2021, subject to the conditions below.

In addition, the Company had the option to extend the maturity date of the Convertible Notes up to three times for an additional 30 days each by paying an additional extension fee equal to 2% of the principal balance of the Convertible Notes for each extension. Relevium exercised this option to extend the Convertible Notes, which were further extended to June 1, 2021.

The parties had agreed to settle their dispute out-of-court with Relevium paying a total amount of $75,000 in common shares of the Company at a deemed price of either the higher of a 10-day volume weighted average price prior to issuance of the shares or $0.02. The transaction is subject to the approval of the TSX-V. As of the date of this MD&A, the TSX-V has not given its approval, and no shares have been issued.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated $11,435,613 in revenues (December 31, 2020: $138,526), representing an increase of $11,297,087 over revenues generated in the three-month period ended December 31, 2020. In the Reporting Period, the COVID-19 pandemic had the effect of reducing online sales of the Company’s products. In addition to the effect of the pandemic, the competitive environment also became more intense at that time. The decrease in sales was driven primarily by restrictions for inbound inventory imposed by Amazon marketplace, global wide supply chain shortages and subsequently liquidity issues affecting the overall operations. The Company decreased the variety of products offered as a result.

The costs of goods sold in the three-month period ended December 31, 2021 were $10,239,973 (December

Current Working Capital Deficit **(2,549,830) ** (5,43~~5~~,700)

At December 31, 2021, the Company had total assets of $2,105,256 (June 30, 2021: $758,660), current assets of $1,527,596 (June 30, 2021: $178,870) and current liabilities of $4,077,426 (June 30, 2021: $5,614,570). The Company had a negative working capital of $2,549,830 at December 31, 2021, compared to a negative working capital of $5,435,700 at June 30, 2021. The principal reason for this significant change in working capital is due to the substantial decrease in the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, Relevium had $1,677,543 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $1,055,069 in customer deposits. In addition, the bank advances balance of $614,882, and the balance of current portion of long-term debt were reduced to $454,932 at December 31, 2021 (June 30, 2021: $2,801,310), all of which were partially offset by cash and cash equivalents of $1,330,102 (June 30, 2021: $64,346).

At December 31, 2021, the Company has 58,249,017 warrants issued and outstanding that, if fully exercised, could generate $2,912,451 in capital to support the Company’s activities.

Management also recognizes that capital markets are always in flux and there may be risks involved beyond its control in securing additional capital or having outstanding warrants exercised.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

Management defines capital as the shareholders’ equity of the Company. The Company’s only significant source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash and debt financing. The acquisition of Bioganix® and subsequent acquisitions are expected to change the status of the Company, from nonrevenue to a cash generating business.

The Company’s business model also includes the role of a consolidator in the nutraceutical e- commerce space, and the Company therefore expects to continue to make acquisitions in this space through the capital markets.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet transactions as at December 31, 2021.

RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s related parties include the CEO, CFO, directors, corporate secretary and family members of these parties.

Stock Option Plan
