Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Avricore Health Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on May 30, 2000. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “AVCR” and are quoted on the OTCIQ Market as “NUVPF”. The Company’s registered office is at 700 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3T5.

 

The Company is involved in the business of health data and point-of-care technologies (“POCT”).

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has always experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Operations have been funded by the issuance of share capital. These conditions may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from its operations, or raise additional financing to cover ongoing cash requirements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Deficit   (30,789,556)   (30,216,117)

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. Since then, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from COVID-19. The Company continues to operate the business forward at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, including the duration and impact on the Company’s future plans, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

a)Statement of Compliance

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

a)Statement of Compliance (continued)

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The significant accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and have been consistently applied in each of the periods presented. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency, unless other indicated.

 

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed below. Actual results might differ from these estimates. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying judgments on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the year in which the estimates are revised.

 

b)Basis of consolidation

 

Condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of all entities controlled by the Company. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Company’s the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year, its results are included for that part of the year during which control exists.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled wholly owned subsidiary HealthTab™ Inc.

 

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

 

Estimates

 

Significant estimates used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

 

Share-based payments

 

The Company grants share-based awards to certain directors, officers, employees, consultants and other eligible persons. For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and credited to the reserves over the vesting period using the graded vesting method, after adjusting for the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

 

The fair value of equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For equity-settled awards to non-employees, the fair value is measured at each vesting date. The estimate of warrant and option valuation also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the volatility, expected life of warrants and options, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s options and warrants issued. Management must also make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized.

 

Judgements

 

Significant judgments used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria expressed in the accounting policy have been met. Judgment may be required when allocating revenue or discounts on sales amongst the various elements in a sale involving multiple deliverables.

 

Deferred income taxes

 

Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognized in full.

 

Going concern

 

The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.

 

4.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

10.SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

 

Share-based compensation

 

Share-based compensation of $58,354 and $88,522 was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $74,722 and $486,622), respectively, for stock options granted, vested, and repriced during the period. Options issued to directors and officers of the Company vested immediately, while those issued to consultants vest over one year, however, the Board may change such provisions at its discretion or as required on a grant-by-grant basis.

 

Share-based payments for options granted and repriced was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

   2022   2021 
Expected life   5 years    5 years 
Volatility   139% - 153%   134% - 146%
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Risk-free interest rate   2.75% - 2.97%   0.41% - 0.99%

 

Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

16.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans payable. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments.

 

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks and the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies.

 

a)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The cash equivalent is composed of a guaranteed investment certificate and is issued by a Canadian bank with high investment-grade ratings. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset-backed commercial paper.

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivable but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data.

 

Approximately 96% of trade receivables are due from one customer at September 30, 2022 (2021 – 76% from one customer).

 

b)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

 

The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources, and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing. The Company anticipates it will have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through future equity contributions, however, there can be no guarantees that sufficient funds will be raised.

 

As at September 30, 2022, the Company’s liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable of $337,018 (December 31, 2021 - $84,477).

16.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

c)Market risk

 

Market risk for the Company consists of currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

 

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As all of the Company’s purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and it has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at this time.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Company’s policy is to invest cash at floating interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

 

d)Fair value of financials instruments

 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

 

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value. For accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans payable carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity;

 

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities and amounts resulting from direct arm’s length transactions.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices or from amounts resulting from direct arm’s length transactions. As a result, these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term. Derivatives are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using price models. These models require a variety of inputs, including, but not limited to, contractual terms, market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads. The Company’s lease liabilities are at this level.

 

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data. Currently, the Company has no financial instruments at this level.

 

17.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

a)The Company issued 749,400 common shares upon exercise of warrants for gross proceeds of $149,880.
