NOTES TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Unaudited, Expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted]

September 30, 2020 and 2019

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

StageZero Life Sciences, Limited (“StageZero Life Sciences” or the “Company”) is focused on developing and commercializing proprietary molecular diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases and personalized health management, with a primary focus on cancer-related indications. The Company has developed a proprietary platform technology, the Sentinel Principle®, to identify novel biomarkers from whole blood. The Company’s lead product, ColonSentry®, is a blood test to determine an individual’s current risk for having colorectal cancer.

The consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on November 24, 2020 and are expressed in US dollars, with Canadian dollar figures identified as “Cdn$”.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario and is domiciled in Ontario, Canada; its shares are publicly traded under the stock symbol SZLS on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Company’s registered office is located at Unit 30, 70 East Beaver Creek Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario, L4B 3B2.

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd. has wholly-owned subsidiary companies, StageZero Life Sciences Holdings, which owns 100% of StageZero Life Sciences Inc. (“Inc.”) in the United States.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 [September 30, 2019 – gain of $1.3 million] and a loss of $5.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 [2019 – loss of $3.6 million]. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3.2 million [December 31, 2019– $3.8 million] and a deficit of $102.6 million [December 31, 2019 – $97.3 million].

Going concern uncertainties

We have experienced recurring losses and are dependent on our ability to raise additional funds to continue operations. These circumstances create material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and, hence, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing to further develop certain of the Company’s scientific initiatives, but there is no assurance these initiatives will be successful, timely or sufficient.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the future operations will allow for the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material.

Statement of compliance

These unaudited restated condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (U.S.), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies that were described in Note 3 to the annual financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"), revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The principles in IFRS 15 are applied using the following five steps:

  1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer

  2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract

  3. Determine the transaction price

  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

  5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

As detailed below, revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.

Cancer Testing

The Company performs diagnostic blood-based biomarker tests to screen for early cancer detection and risk assessment. Upon completion of the diagnostic tests, the results of the tests are made available to the caregiver or patient. The amount of revenue from billings is adjusted with certain third-party payers, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty and ultimate settlements cannot be reliably estimated until the cash is collected.

COVID Testing

As the COVID-19 pandemic transpired during early fiscal 2020, the Company pivoted to providing COVID-19 assessments using Polymerese Chain Reaction (“PCR”) testing and antigen testing, which have been approved on an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA. The Company also entered into some agreements under which they would provide mobile testing facilities for customers.

In assessing the performance obligations the Company has determined that there are two separate performance obligations in these services, providing a test result from performing the PCR or antigen testing and providing mobile testing facilities.

The Company recognizes the revenues from these services when the performance obligation has been fulfilled and collection is reasonably assured.

With the advent of the COVID Testing revenue stream the Company invested in adding related inventory, which accounts for the increase in the balance at September 30, 2020, and accordingly additional cost of sales, which accounts for the increase in cost of sales for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, which cost of sales pertain exclusively to cancer testing.

Of the COVID testing revenues 7 customers contributed the majority of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to be made in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and related assumptions are based on previous experiences and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The estimates and underlying assumptions 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.

Significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include share-based compensation, impairment analysis and fair value of warrants, structured notes, convertible debt and conversion liabilities.

  • [i] Share-based compensation

  • The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of such instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. The estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, including the expected life of the instrument, risk-free rate, volatility and dividend yield.

  • [ii] Fair value of warrants

In determining the fair value of the warrant liability, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility rate, dividend yield, risk-free rate and the remaining expected life of the warrant. The inputs used in the Black-Scholes model are taken from observable markets. In particular, changes in the fair value of the warrants have a material impact on the reported loss or gain and comprehensive loss or gain for the applicable reporting period.

[iii] Fair value of structured notes, convertible debt and conversion liabilities

  • In determining the fair values of the structured notes, convertible debt and conversion liabilities, the Company used a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions: volatility rate, risk-free rate and the remaining expected life. The inputs used in the binomial lattice model are taken from observable markets. In particular, changes in the fair value of the structured notes and conversion liabilities can have a material impact on the reported loss or gain and comprehensive loss or gain for the applicable reporting period. For certain convertible debentures, the Company designates the entire convertible instrument as a financial liability at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of such instruments is determined using a combination of discounted cash flow, option pricing models and reference to recent transactions.

  • [iv] Impairment Analysis

The Company assesses its intangible assets for recoverability whenever indicators of impairment exist. When the carrying value of an asset is greater than its recoverable amount, which is its fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

6. NOTES PAYABLE

The notes payable were initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently they were measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The initial fair values were calculated with a valuation technique that uses parameters obtained from observable markets, including credit spread and interest rate volatility. The prevailing interest rate used in the valuations was 16% at initial recognition.

[b] Notes payable to shareholders and director

On May 3, 2018, two shareholders of the Company, one of whom is also a director of the Company, each loaned $250,000 to the Company and were issued convertible notes (the “Notes”) in consideration therefor. Each Note has a term of twelve months with simple interest earned at 5% per annum and is convertible at the Holder’s discretion into units of the Company (“Note Units”) at a subscription price of Cdn$0.76 per Note Unit. Each Note Unit consists of one common share and one-half of a Warrant, each whole Warrant exercisable for one common share at a price of Cdn$0.96 per common share for a period of three years from conversion of the Notes into common shares. The Note Units are only issuable to the Holders if they choose the conversion option as payment upon demand. The Note Unit pricing of Cdn$0.76 is at a 5% premium to the market price of Cdn$0.72 at May 10, 2018.

If the Notes are outstanding for the full twelve months, each Holder would be entitled to principal and interest totaling $262,500 (Cdn$358,117) or, if converted into Note Units, 443,867 common shares and 221,933 Warrants. In total for both Holders, the maximum number of common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes is 1,331,601 common shares, consisting of 887,734 common shares underlying the Notes and 443,867 common shares underlying the Warrants. The Warrants will only be issued upon the conversion of the Notes.

On April 23, 2019, one Holder converted his convertible note for 441,594 common shares and 220,797 warrants.

On October 25, 2018, the Company entered into agreements with the above shareholders of the Company, who loaned $200,000 and $50,000 respectively to the Company and were issued convertible notes (the “Notes”) in consideration. These Notes have a term of twenty-four months with simple interest earned at 5% per annum. The Lenders have the right to convert the accrued interest and principal into common shares of the Company through the Term. The conversion rate is calculated as the 5 day volume weighted average price of the common shares of the Corporation (each a “Common Share”) for the period ending October 24, 2018 of Cdn$ 0.42544 plus Cdn$ 0.04 premium, totaling Cdn$ 0.46544. The number of Common Shares issuable by the Company upon conversion is calculated as the total accrued balance of principal and interest owing on the date of demand for conversion, converted from USD to Cdn$ at the Bank of Canada’s exchange rate on October 24, 2018 of 1.3029 and divided by the common share price in Cdn$.

During the period from October 3, 2018 until December 31, 2019, the Company has additional demand note agreements with the above director for loans totaling $440,000 to the Company. The Notes are payable on demand with simple interest earned at 5% per annum and are secured by a security interest in the Company’s patents and trademarks.

On June 29, 2020, $390,766 of the notes payable was converted to 951,120 common shares.

As at September 30, the convertible notes payable balance is $250,000. The notes are secured by a security interest in the Company’s patents and trademarks.

[c] Convertible debentures

[i] 2016 debenture

On December 23, 2016, the Company closed debentures, for gross proceeds of $536,462 (Cdn$721,000) (the "Debentures"). The Debentures had a term of three years and bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The interest was payable semi-annually in arrears, in cash. Payment of principal was payable in cash or common shares of the Company at the discretion of the Company, subject to the approval of the TSX. If the Company elected to pay the principal in common shares, the number of Common Shares issued would be determined based on a 10% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average trading price ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date that the principal amount was due. Each Debenture would be convertible, at the option of the holder, into common shares at a conversion price of Cdn$4.00, beginning six months after the initial closing date. Each Debenture would be convertible, at the option of the Company, at a conversion price of Cdn$4.00, beginning twelve months after the closing date, provided the price of the common shares has been at or above Cdn$6.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. On July 18, 2017, a holder converted $79,190 (Cdn$100,000) into 25,000 common shares.

On December 23, 2019, 2,134,901 common shares of the Corporation were issued, to holders of 2019 Debentures, for a consideration of $464,766 (Cdn$621,000), pursuant to the conversion of the principal amount of the 2019 Debentures (the “Conversion Shares”)., fixed the price of Cdn $0.29088 per share, being 90% of the VWAP of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding (but not including) December 23, 2019.

[ii] 2018 debenture

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Convertible Security Funding Agreement (the “CSFA”) with Lind Asset Management XI, LLC (“Lind”) for up to Cdn$7.5 million in convertible securities. Under the terms of the Agreement, Lind advanced $1,541,800, less a closing fee of Cdn$100,000, in consideration for the issuance of a convertible security with a face value of Cdn$2.4 million (the “First CSFA”). Lind could increase the funding under the First CSFA by an additional Cdn$1,000,000 during its thirty-month term.

The Agreement also provided for the issuance of a second CSFA on mutual agreement of the Company and Lind and satisfaction of conditions including that 75% of the face amount of the First CSFA has been repaid or converted, in which case Lind could fund up to another Cdn$3,000,000 (the “Second Tranche”). Similar to the First CSFA, Lind could also increase the funding under the Second CSFA by up to Cdn$1,500,000. If the Second CSFA occurred, the Company would pay Lind a closing fee equal to 5% of the amount advanced in the Second CSFA.

Each CSFA had a thirty-month term from the date of issuance and bore interest of 8% per annum on the amount funded that is attributed to its face value upon the issuance of each CSFA. The Company's obligations under the Agreement were secured by all of the Company's present and after-acquired property other than intellectual property, including a pledge of its equity interests in its subsidiaries.

Shares underlying each CSFA are restricted from trading for a period of four months and one day from the time of issuance of the applicable CSFA (the "Lock-up Period"). Lind could convert the CSFA’s in monthly installments over the term at a conversion price equal to 85% of the 5-day trailing volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company's common shares prior to the date that notice of conversion is provided by Lind. The Agreement contained restrictions on how much may be converted in any particular month and how many common shares Lind may hold at any given time. Lind was entitled to accelerate its conversion right to the full amount of the face value or demand repayment of the face value in cash upon a default and other specified events. To the extent that the full, face value of a convertible security may not have been converted at maturity, the balance of the face value was to be paid in cash at the end of the thirty-month term.

The Company had the option to buy-back the CSFA’s in cash at any time by paying a buy-back premium equal to 5% of the outstanding balance of the applicable convertible security, except that no such premium was payable if the Company elects to buy back the First Convertible Security within the Lock-Up Period.

The Agreement and the issuance of securities thereunder were conditionally approved by the TSX, with up to 756,112 common shares issuable under the Agreement or Warrants. At the Company’s June 28, 2018 shareholder meeting, the company received shareholder approval to issue up to an additional 5,000,000 common shares to Lind under the Agreement. Any additional issuances of common shares under the Agreement will be subject to further shareholder approval.

Lind increased the funding under the First CSFA by an additional Cdn$750,000 on April 9, 2019. Lind advanced Cdn$750,000, less a closing fee of Cdn$37,500 in consideration for the issuance of a CSFA with a face value of Cdn$900,000 (the “First CSFA”).

In addition, the Company issued 1,691,475 warrants to Lind in respect of the First CSFA, exercisable for 36 months at an exercise price of Cdn$0.096 per share. The number of warrants issued in connection with the First CSFA are equal to 50% of the amount advanced by Lind (Cdn$2,000,000) divided by the VWAP of the common shares of the Company on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing date. On April 23, 2019, in respect of the Additional Funding Cdn$750,000, the Company issued 319,094 warrants exercisable for 36 months at an exercise price of Cdn$0.1.5272 per share.

In January, 2019, the Company announced the closing of the Second Convertible Security Funding Agreement (the “Second CSFA”) with Lind for up to Cdn$0.5 million in convertible securities. Under the terms of the Second CSFA, Lind advanced Cdn$500,000, less a closing fee of Cdn$35,000, in consideration for the issuance of a convertible security with a face value of Cdn$0.6 million (the “Second CSFA”).

In respect of the Second CSFA, the Company issued 2,361,163 warrants exercisable for 36 months at an exercise price of Cdn$1.5272 per share. Warrants calculated in the same manner would also be issued to Lind if it elected to increase the size of any convertible security as described above. All subsequent warrants issued to Lind pursuant to the Agreement were exercisable for 36 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price equal to 130% of the five-day VWAP of the common shares immediately prior to the applicable closing date. The Warrants provided for cashless exercise by the holder in the event that the Company ceased to be a foreign private issuer, as that term is defined under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

In addition in June 2019, face value Cdn$600,000 of outstanding debt and interest, in connection with the Second CSFA, were converted by Lind to 972,029 common shares, which completed the conversion of the Second CSFA.

Each convertible security had a thirty-month term from the date of issuance and bore interest of 8% per annum on the amount funded that was attributed to its face value upon the issuance of each convertible security. The Company's obligations under the Agreement were secured by all of the Company's present and after-acquired property other than intellectual property, including a pledge of its equity interests in its subsidiaries.

The Company had the option to buy-back the convertible securities in cash at any time by paying a buy-back premium equal to 5% of the outstanding balance of the applicable convertible security.

The expected volatility is based on the trading of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the riskfree rate is 1-year Canada Government Bond Yield.

In total, face value Cdn$3,272,619 of First CSFA was converted to common shares to Lind in connection with a Convertible Security Funding Agreement and the balance Cdn$27,381 was used to participate in warrant exercise. As at September 30, 2020, the balance of the CSFA is Nil.

Convertible Debenture Private Placement in February 2020

The company closed a private placement of convertible debentures (each a “Debenture”) for gross proceeds of Cdn$1,180,000 on February 19, 2020 (the “Offering”). The Debentures, issued in increments of $1,000, bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, have a term of 18 months from the date of issue and are convertible in units (“Units”) at a conversion price of $0.32 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one (1) common share (“Common Share”) of the Company and one-half (1/2) of a Common Share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a “Warrant”) is exercisable into one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$0.56 per Common Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance of the Debentures. Securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period lasting four (4) months and a day after the issuance of the securities.

As the conversion price is variable due to currency differences, resulting in the recognition of an embedded derivative, the Company designated the entire convertible instrument as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss and recognized any changes in the fair value in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the convertible debenture was calculated using a combination of discounted cash flows, option pricing models and reference to recent transactions.

On June 7, 2018, the Company issued 1,691,475 warrants to Lind in respect of the First CSFA, exercisable until June 7, 2021 at an exercise price of Cdn$0.768 per share. The number of warrants issued in connection with the First CSFA are equal to 50% of the amount advanced by Lind (Cdn$2,000,000) divided by the VWAP of the common shares of the Company on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing date. In respect of the Second CSFA (if any), the Company has agreed to issue such number of warrants equal to 50% of the amount advanced by Lind in respect of the Second CSFA divided by the VWAP of the common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the Second Convertible Security. Warrants calculated in the same manner will also be issued to Lind if it elects to increase the size of any CSFA as described above.

closing date. The Warrants provide for cashless exercise by the holder in the event that the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer, as that term is defined under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

The Corporation will be entitled, in its sole discretion, to exercise its Acceleration Right, permitting it to accelerate the exercise of the warrants, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, which is defined as thirty (30) consecutive trading days during which the Common Shares traded on the Exchange at a VWAP that is at least 300% of the Exercise Price, by delivering an Acceleration Notice to the Holder.

[c] Financial liability accounting

Because such warrants were denominated in Cdn$ [a currency different from the Company’s functional currency], they were recognized as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss, except for broker warrants issued to Hampton Security Company. The fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of grant and on the revaluation date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires four subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility of the Company’s common shares which trade on the TSX (“Expected volatility”), the risk-free interest rate (sourced to Government of Canada Bond Yields for the noted term) and expected time until exercise (“Expected life”), which greatly affect the calculated values.

The fair values of the warrants issued during 2019 and 2020 were determined at the date of grant with the following assumptions (all with dividend yield of nil):

As a consequence of the consolidation, on September 18, the Corporation’s 391,521,071 pre-consolidation common shares are reduced to approximately 48,940,134 common shares on a post-Consolidation basis. No fractional common shares of the Corporation were issued in connection with the Consolidation.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for nine-month ended September 30, 2020, is 41,843,028 (postconsolidation) [September 30, 2019 – 24,516,753] and for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 is 49,307,595 (post-consolidation) [September 30, 2019 – 30,003,090]. The Company has not adjusted its weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating the diluted loss per share, as any adjustment would be antidilutive.

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

Page 20

shareholders on June 30, 2016, provide that the maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the Plan does not exceed 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at any time. All options granted have a term of five years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule of all granted options is determined at the discretion of the Board. The exercise price of an option must be not less than the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date the option is granted. As at As at September 30, 2020, there were 5,379,404 [September 30, 2019 – 3,802,842] options outstanding, representing 11% [2019 – 12%] of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All options are settled by the issuance of the Company’s common shares.

There were no option cancellations or modifications to the Plan during the during nine-month ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

In compliance with current accounting standards, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires four subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The following assumptions were used to calculate the weighted-average fair values at:

calculate the weighted-average fair values at:
September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019
Expected dividends
Average option life in years 4.2 4.2
Expected volatility 142% 161%
Risk-free interest rate 0.26% 1.49%
Vesting period in years 0.5 0.5

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a Canadian government zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The life of the options is estimated with consideration of the vesting period at the grant date, the term of the option and the average length of time similar grants have remained outstanding in the past. The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the option. The dividend yield was nil because it is the present policy of the Company to retain all earnings to finance operations and future growth.

The following table summarizes the measurement date weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the ninemonth ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is less than 12 months or the underlying asset has a low value.

On December 5, 2017, the Company renegotiated the lease of its premises effective January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2023. The property and office space lease bears interest at an estimated rate of 14.4%. The lease liability as at September 30, 2020 is $643,878 (December 31, 2019 – 753,409). Effective August 1, 2018, the Company subleased 74.46% of its leased space for a commensurate share of the rental cost for the remaining term of its lease.

The Company may be involved from time to time in various legal claims and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions, civil litigation and investigations. Some of these matters may include intellectual property disputes, professional liability, employee related matters and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands. The inquiries may relate to the Company or other healthcare providers and may come from

governmental bodies, Medicare or Medicaid payers and managed care payers who are reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is organized in and operates as a single reportable segment for management purposes.

Geographic information

As at September 30, 2020, $0.7 million of property, plant and equipment $0.1 of right of use asset, net, were held in the US [December 31, 2019 – $1.0 million of property, plant and equipment and $0.1 million of right of use asset net, were held in the US]. The Company’s total revenue for the nine-month ended September 30, 2020 was $1.6 million [2019 – $0.09 million], all earned from operations in the United States.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK-MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to liquidity, credit and market risk, the management of which is overseen by the Company’s senior management.

[a] Financial instruments

The fair value of warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporating various inputs including the underlying price volatility and discount rate, [see note 7 ]. All other notes payable were initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently they were measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, whereby the fair value of the notes payable approximates their carrying value. As at September 30, 2020, the Company’s warrant liability, conversion liability and notes payable, are carried on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value and have been classified as Level 3, in the fair value hierarchy.

[b] Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the contingency that the Company is unable to gather the funds required with respect to its financial obligations at the appropriate time and under reasonable conditions. The Company attempts to manage this risk in order to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity at all times to be able to honor its current and future financial obligations under normal conditions and in exceptional circumstances. Financing strategies to ensure the management of this risk include resorting to the capital markets through the issuance of equity or debt securities.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital. In the past three years, the Company has earned limited revenue. During 2019 and 2020, the Company completed a series of common share, structured notes payable, capital commitment, common share and warrant and convertible debenture financings. The Company expects to continue to pursue further financings as or until operations become profitable.

The table below summarize the maturity profile of the Company’s financial instruments as at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

[c] Credit risk

The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and other receivables. Cash consists of deposits with major commercial banks and is therefore subject to minimal credit risk.

[d] Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange rate risk

The Company operates in Canada and the United States and transacts business primarily with US partners and suppliers. During the year ended September 30, 2020, a 5% appreciation (depreciation) in the Cdn$ to US dollar foreign exchange rate, with all else being equal, would have affected net income by approximately ($121,325) [December 31, 2019 – $81,217]. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest rate for the Company’s notes payable to HDL was renegotiated during the first quarter of 2016 and interest began to be accrued at Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.00% per annum effective April 1, 2016, while the note payable to a shareholder and director as was issued in 2016 is fixed at 2% per annum, the notes payable to shareholders and director, issued after 2017 are fixed at 5% per annum, and the convertible debentures are fixed at 8%. Accordingly, there have been no significant impacts on the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss from changes in interest rates.

COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain what the full magnitude of the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and the impact on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time.

14. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its accumulated capital in order to maintain the ability to continue as a going concern and provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of issues of notes payable, conversion liability, common shares and warrants; it totaled $94.3 million as at September 30, 2020 [December 31, 2019 – notes payable, warrants and common shares of $80.4 million].

Page 25

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

To address this risk, the Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. Upon approval of the Board, the Company balances its overall capital structure through new share or debt issuances, or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate in the circumstances. The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital; in the past two years, the Company has had limited revenue. During 2018 and into 2019, the Company completed a series of common share, structured notes payable, capital commitment, common share and warrant and convertible debenture financings. We expect to continue to pursue further financings as or until operations become profitable.

The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2019.

16. PRIOR PERIOD RESTATEMENTS

The Company identified the following restatements relating to its September 30, 2019 unaudited, condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Descriptions of each restatement and a summary of changes in each financial statement line item for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 are as follows.

Intangible Asset

As part of the Purchase Agreement with Cobalt (see note 6(a)), to acquire the remaining 50% of StageZero Life Sciences Inc. (formerly IDL) on March 4, 2016, the Company did not allocate any portion of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets representing reacquired right to its lead product ColonSentry. The allocation of the consideration paid should have included the fair value of the reacquired rights in the amount of $1,039,349, which had a useful life of 2 years. The impact of this adjustment is an increase in deficit of $1,039,349 as the reacquired rights would have been fully amortized by December 31, 2018.

Convertible Debenture and Warrants

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into the convertible securities funding agreement (CSFA) (see note 6(c)) with Lind for up to Cdn$7.5 million in convertible securities. The First CSFA also included the issuance of 13,531,800 warrants. As part of the allocation of the initial advance of $1,541,800 less a closing fee of Cdn$100,000, the Company incorrectly recorded the fair value of the associated warranty liability as a financing cost rather than as a reduction of the host debt instrument. The allocation of the components of the debenture also resulted in an incorrect allocation to share capital on partial settlements as well as to interest expense.

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

Page 26

Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 and recognized right of use asset and lease liability. The Company incorrectly classified its sublease arrangement with the subtenant as an operating lease, which resulted in overstatement of rightof-use asset, understatement of rent receivable and misstatements in the related subsequent measurement of amortization and interest charges.

Share-based Compensation

The Company has identified an error relating to the vesting of stock options, which resulted in an understatement of share-based compensation for the six months period ended September 30, 2019.

Inventory

The Company has identified a cutoff error relating to inventory, which resulted in an understatement of Cost of good sold for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

17. AMENDMENT

Subsequent to the approval of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020, on November 20, 2020, it came to the Company’s attention that in calculating the remeasurement of the warrant liability for the period then ended that some inputs were not correctly valued by the Company’s software and a few other factors were not correctly reflected in the valuations.

Management utilizes an external option tracking software for measures of volatility, it came to the Company’s attention that the stock consolidated in September was causing much higher historical volatility measures in this software than actually realized over the period. The result was to overstate the valuation of the warrants measured using the external option tracking software.

In valuing the warrants, the Company mistakenly included broker warrants in their revaluation; however, these warrants are accounted for under IFRS 2 and are accordingly not remeasured at FVTPL. The inclusion of these warrants in the remeasurement of the warrant liability served to overstate the warrant liability.

Further, in performing the remeasurement of the warrant liability, there were several exercises of the January 9, 2019, Lind warrants that had not been derecognized from the warrant liability, which resulted in an overstatement of the warrant liability and understatement of equity for the corresponding amount of the liability that was exercised, as remeasured at the exercise date.

StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd.

Page 28

In valuing the Convertible Debenture Private Placement in February 2020, the valuation model utilizes a discount for lack of marketability to account for the hold period contained in the agreements. The assumption related to the hold period used in the original valuation methodology was that the restriction would apply after conversion; however, it was subsequently determined that the restriction is for four months from the issuance date of the convertible debenture itself. The resulting impact is to overstate the fair value of the convertible debenture and understate the value of share capital and warrants issued on conversion as well as the loss on remeasurement at FVTPL. The revaluation also impacts the results of previously reported quarterly financial information for three months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, in the amount of $252,500 and $30,000, respectively, and $282,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as increases to the fair value of the convertible debenture liability and a corresponding increase in loss as a result of the remeasurement to FVTPL.

Lastly, there was a clerical error that resulted in adjustments to the warrant liability pertaining to the period ended June 30, 2020, being booked again in the period ended September 30, 2020, which further overstated the warrant liability.

The impact of the foregoing are reflected in the following tables:
