STAGEZERO LIFE SCIENCES LTD. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 [EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS]
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
StageZero Life Sciences, Limited (“StageZero Life Sciences”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a vertically integrated healthcare company at the nexus of three of the fastest growing and most exciting sectors of healthcare today; Early Cancer Detection, Liquid Biopsy, and Global Telehealth. The Company is focused on minimizing the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases through early detection and intervention. The company continues to develop and commercialize 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, Aristotle®, is a blood-based molecular diagnostic assessment that can detect an individual’s current risk for potentially having a variety of cancers.
During the nine-months September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company offered various COVID-19 tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) tests and antibody tests. PCR tests can detect COVID-19 nucleic acid from a patient’s nasopharyngeal swab or saliva specimen and are used to diagnose an active COVID-19 infection. Antibody tests detect whether the patient has developed COVID-19 antibodies, indicating that they have had the virus in the past. In addition, the Company acquired the CareOncology businesses of Health Clinics Ltd, and Health Clinics USA Corp (“CareOncology”) in the third quarter of 2021 (Note 4). CareOncology is a virtual clinic that operates on a global telehealth platform and provides clinical consultations, interventions and monitoring services for patients diagnosed with cancer through the CareOncology Protocol (TREAT Program). CareOncology is also developing the AVRT program, which evaluates a patient’s potential risk of developing cancer and a variety of other chronic illnesses and provides monitoring/interventions that are intended to target the inflammatory and metabolic pathways that underly the progression of many diseases.
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 Holdings Inc., which owns 100% of StageZero Life Sciences Inc. (“Inc.”), Care Oncology, Inc, and SZ Physician Holdings, Inc, all in the United States, and Clinics Operations, Ltd. (also referred to as CareOncology UK).
These condensed consolidated interim 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. The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $0.05 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 [September 2021 – loss of 2.2 million]. a loss of $1.9 million for the ninemonth period ended September 30, 2022 [2021 – loss of $5.2 million] As at September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital deficit of $5.3 million [December 31, 2021, working capital deficit of $2.4 million] and a deficit of $113.5 million [December 31, 2021 – $112 million].
These circumstances create material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and, hence, as to 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 commercial and scientific initiatives; but there is no assurance these initiatives will be successful, timely or sufficient.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. The Company’s principal accounting policies outlined below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

STAGEZERO LIFE SCIENCES LTD. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 [EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS]
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2022.
COVID 19
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.
Accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations not yet adopted or effective
As discussed in the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations have been issued which are not yet effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company has not early adopted any standards, amendments, or interpretations, which are issued but not yet effective.
3. ACQUISITION OF CARE ONCOLOGY BUSINESS
On June 30, 2022, the Earn Out Consideration was remeasured using a Monte Carlo simulation due to the uncertain nature of the potential future revenue scenarios, using the following inputs: Equity volatility of 125.5%; asset volatility of 114.5%; risk-free rates of 1.63% and 1.35%, for Canada and the U.S., respectively; a correlation factor of 59.8% between revenue and share price; and an overall discount rate of 15.8%. The result of the valuation model was to value the Earn Out Consideration at $288,237. As a result of the remeasurement a gain of $1,544,568 was recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

[a] Note payable to HDL
In May 2015, StageZero Holdings issued a note payable in the amount of $1.0 million to Health Diagnostic Laboratories (HDL) to purchase additional shares of StageZero Life Sciences Inc. increasing its share from 33⅓% to 50% and in March 2016, StageZero Holdings assumed an additional $1.0 million note payable to HDL to own 100% of StageZero Life Sciences Inc. Effective March 1, 2017, the Company agreed to pay principal of $2,095,843.
On March 1, 2017 the Company and HDL’s representative reached an agreement pursuant to which StageZero Holdings would pay the principal amount of $2,095,843, to be paid in a $25,000 upfront payment and monthly

STAGEZERO LIFE SCIENCES LTD. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 [EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS]
payments of $15,000 beginning March 1, 2017 to July 1, 2017, followed by monthly payments of $10,000 until the outstanding debt has been paid in full.
The note payable was initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently 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. The loan is unsecured, and the balance of the note is expected to be repaid in full by 2034. During nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid $40,000 [2021 - $90,000]
[b] Notes payable to shareholders and director
At September 30, 2022, the convertible notes payable balance is $544,389 including accrued interest payable, which approximates the fair value. The notes are secured by a security interest in the Company’s patents and trademarks.
[c] Long-term debt
During 2020 and the second quarter of 2021, the Company received a Cdn$60,000 Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loan from the Government of Canada via its commercial bank. The loan is interest free until December 31, 2023, with a maturity date of December 31, 2025. If Cdn$40,000 of the loan has been repaid by December 31, 2023, the remaining balance (maximum Cdn$20,000) will be forgiven. Should the loan not be repaid by December 31, 2023, interest at 5% will be charged per annum commencing on January 1, 2024 until maturity on December 31, 2025. The loan is unsecured.
[d] Convertible debenture
Convertible Debenture Private Placement in August 2022
The Company closed a private placement of convertible debentures (each a “Debenture”) for gross proceeds of Cdn$177,000 on August, 2022 (the “Offering”). Each Unit is composed of (i) a $1,000 unsecured convertible debenture (“Debenture”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum, having a term of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance and is convertible into common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company, at a conversion price of $0.11 per Common Share, and (ii) 9090 Common Share purchase warrants (each a “Warrant”).

[e] 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, National Bank Financial Inc., Fidelity Clearing Canada ULC, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. which were compensation warrants and were recorded as contributed surplus in accordance with IFRS 2, Sharebased Payments. The fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of grant and on the valuation 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); expected dividend yield and expected time until exercise (“Expected life”), which greatly affect the calculated values.
The fair values of the warrants issued during 2021 and the nine months of 2022 were determined at the date of grant with the following assumptions (all with an expected dividend yield of nil):

The Company’s options, warrants, including its TSX-listed warrants, and convertible debentures have also proportionately been adjusted in accordance with their terms effective September 18, 2020. All shares and purchase amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1 for 8 consolidation. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding (post-consolidation) for period ended September 30, 2022, is 96,675,004 [December 31, 2021 – 70,715,834].

On May 25, 2000, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Board may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company. The current terms of the Plan, approved by the Company’s 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 TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the date the option is granted. As at As at September 30, 2022, there were 4,813,024 [December 31, 2021 –6,019,899] options outstanding, representing 4.9% [2021 – 6.63%] of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All exercised 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 the nine months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
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 of the stock options granted during the years ended:
| years ended: | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2022 | September 30, 2021 | |
| Expected option life in years | 2.23 | 4.2 |
| Expected volatility | 149% | 174% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.83% | 1.20% |
| Vesting period inyears | 0.5 | 0.5 |

22
STAGEZERO LIFE SCIENCES LTD. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 [EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS]
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 nine months 2022 and 2021, 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 Company operates in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. During the period ended September 30, 2022, 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 $31,751.
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.
13. 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, common shares and warrants totaling $103.0 million as at September 30, 2022
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 Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) which requires adequate working capital or financial resources such that, in the opinion of TSX, it will be able to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital. From 2019 to 2022, the Company completed a series of common share, structured notes payable, capital commitment, common share and warrant and convertible debenture financings.
