Reporting entity
Quipt Home Medical Corp. (“Quipt” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 5, 1993. On December 30, 2013, the Company was continued into British Columbia, Canada. The address of the registered office is 666 Burrard St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2Z7. The head office is located at 1019 Town Drive, Wilder, Kentucky, United States. The Company is a participating Medicare provider that provides i) nebulizers, oxygen concentrators, and CPAP and BiPAP units; ii) traditional and non-traditional durable medical respiratory equipment and services; and iii) non-invasive ventilation equipment, supplies and services. The Company has embarked on an acquisition strategy for additional revenue and profit growth.
The Company changed its name from Protech Home Medical Corp. to Quipt Home Medical Corp. on May 13, 2021.
The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol QIPT. On May 27, 2021, the stock began trading on NASDAQ in the United States under the symbol QIPT. Effective May 13, 2021, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares based on one post-consolidation common share for every four pre-consolidation common shares. Unless otherwise stated, the share, options and warrants along with corresponding exercise prices and per-share amounts have been restated retrospectively to reflect this share consolidation.
Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations.
COVID-19 pandemic
In light of the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the United States and abroad, including the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus, government and public health authorities continue to recommend or impose regulations designed to protect human life, but which have simultaneously had (and are expected to continue to have) serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies. COVID-19COVID-19
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented protocols and procedures for the safety and protection of its employees (including patient-facing employees providing respiratory and other services), maximizing the availability of its services and products to support patient health needs, and the operational and financial stability of its business. The Company continues to make adjustments in response to changing government regulations and directives. COVID-19 and the emergence of variants could further impact the Company’s expected timelines and operations, its third-party service providers or suppliers, as a result of quarantines, facility closures, travel and logistics restrictions and other limitations in connection with the outbreak.
It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with COVID-19 and subsequent variants will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company’s business, operations, and financial results. Although the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the continued presence and spread of COVID-19 nationally and globally could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and position, including through employee attrition, disruptions to the Company’s supply chains and sales channels, restrictions of operations at the Company’s retail stores, changes in the number of Americans with health insurance resulting in a change in demand

for the Company’s products, as well as a deterioration of general economic conditions including a possible national or global recession.
To the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or other health epidemic or outbreak, adversely affects the Company’s business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Risk Factors section.COVID-19 Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate its impact on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition beyond that discussed above. However, these effects could have a material impact and the Company intends to continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. The continuing nature and scope of COVID-19’s impacts to the Company’s business and operations will depend on a series of evolving factors and developments that are difficult to assess, predict, or control, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
•the severity and duration of the pandemic, including additional outbreaks or spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases, future mutations or related variants of the virus, and the efficacy and availability of vaccines;
•the extent and duration of the effect on consumer confidence, economic well-being, deferred medical care, the rate of elective procedures and even recommended screening tests, as well as customer demand;
•the duration, degree, and impact of governmental, business, or other measures implemented in response to the pandemic;
•the impacts on the Company’s distribution channels and supply chain;
•volatility or disruptions in the credit and financial markets;
•increased cyber security risks, including as a result of the Company’s employees, business partners, vendors, suppliers and other third parties with which the Company does business, working remotely;
•evolving macroeconomic factors, including general economic uncertainty, product costs, unemployment rates, and recessionary and inflationary pressures;
•the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and the pace and extent of recovery when the pandemic subsides, which may vary materially over time and among the different regions and markets the Company serves;
•the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, financial markets, trade relations, consumer behavior, the industry in which the Company operates, and its business operations; and
•relaxation or lifting of government mandates and restrictions related to COVID-19, such as the mask mandate.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Unreserved statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The Company has followed the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and method of computation for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 16, 2022.
The consolidated financial statements, which are presented in US dollars, have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the measurement at fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates, judgments, and assumptions 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 prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates where management has made subjective judgments and where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include fair value measurements for financial instruments and share-based transactions, useful lives and impairment of non-financial assets (property and equipment and intangible assets), provision for expected credit losses, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions, and calculation of deferred taxes.
The following are the key estimates and assumption uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year:
a) Revenue recognition
Revenues are billed to and collections are received from both third-party insurers and patients. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, the consideration receivable from these insurance companies is variable as these billings can be challenged by the payor. Therefore, the amount billed by the Company is reduced by an estimate of the amount that the Company believes is an allowable charge to be ultimately allowed by the insurance contract. The above estimate involves significant judgment including an analysis of past collections and

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
historical modification rates. Management regularly reviews the actual claims approved by the insurance companies, adjusting estimated revenue as required.
Rental of medical equipment
The Company rents medical equipment to customers for a fixed monthly amount on a month-to-month basis. The customer generally has the right to cancel the lease at any time during the rental period. The Company considers these rentals to be operating leases. Under IFRS 16 - “Leases”, the Company recognizes rental revenue on operating leases on a straight-line basis over the contractual lease term, resulting in deferred revenue for the portion of the monthly rent collected that is earned after the consolidated statement of financial position date. The term begins on the date products are delivered to patients, and revenues are recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, including Medicare, private commercial payors, and Medicaid. Certain customer co-payments are included in revenue when payment is considered probable.
Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenue and accounts receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of cash application or claim denial.
Sales of medical equipment and supplies
The Company sells equipment, replacement parts, and supplies to customers and recognizes revenue based on contractual payment rates as determined by the payors at the point in time where control of the good or service is transferred through delivery to the customer. The payors are generally charged at the time that the product is sold.
The transaction price on equipment sales is the amount that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods and services provided. Due to the nature of the industry, gross charges are retail charges and generally do not reflect what the Company is ultimately paid. As such, the transaction price is constrained for the difference between the gross charge and what is estimated to be collected from payors and from patients. The transaction price therefore is predominantly based on contractual payment rates as determined by the payors. The Company does not generally contract with uninsured customers but does offer point-of-sale payments at retail outlets. The payment terms and conditions of customer contracts vary by customer type and the products and services offered.
The Company determines its estimates of contractual allowances and discounts based upon contractual agreements and historical experience. While the rates are fixed for the product or service with the customer and the payors, such amounts typically include co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles, which vary in amounts, and are due from secondary insurance providers and/or the patient. The Company includes in the transaction price only the amount that the Company expects to be entitled, which is substantially all of the payor billings at contractual rates.
Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenue and accounts receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain

payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of claim approval or denial.
Returns and refunds are not accepted on equipment sales. The Company does not offer warranties to customers in excess of the manufacturer’s warranty. Any taxes due upon sale of the products or services are not recognized as revenue. The Company does not have any partially or unfilled performance obligations related to contracts with customers and as such, the Company has no contract liabilities as of March 31, 2022, relating to sale of medical equipment and supplies.
b) Valuation of accounts receivable
The measurement of expected credit losses considers information about past events and current conditions. Forward looking macro-economic factors are incorporated into the risk parameters, such as unemployment rates, inflation, and interest rates. Significant judgments are made in order to incorporate forward-looking information into the estimation of allowances and may result in changes to the provision from period to period which may significantly affect our results of operations.
The Company estimates that a certain portion of receivables from customers may not be collected and maintains a reserve for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of accounts receivable as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets. Specifically, the Company considers historical realization data, including current and historical cash collections, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends, and relevant business conditions. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that the estimates could change, which could have a material impact on the operations and cash flows. If circumstances related to certain customers change or actual results differ from expectations, our estimate of the recoverability of receivables could fluctuate from that provided for in our consolidated financial statements. A change in estimate could impact bad debt expense and accounts receivable.
c) Valuation of inventories
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Inventory is expensed through cost of inventory sold when shipped to customers or transferred to property and equipment when rented to customers. The Company estimates that a certain portion of inventory purchased may be excess, obsolete, or non-saleable. The Company maintains a provision for obsolescence for these items. Valuation of the inventory was assessed, and all inventory items which are more than two years are old and not supported by recent sales were provided for 40% in accordance with Company’s policy.
d) Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts, while maintenance, and repairs which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Description |
| Estimated Useful Life |
Rental equipment |
| 1-5 years |
Computer equipment |
| 3-5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures |
| 5-10 years |
Leasehold improvements |
| Life of lease (1-7 years) |

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
Right-of-use vehicles |
| 5 years |

| Life of lease (1-6 years) |
Depreciation of rental equipment commences once it has been deployed to a patient’s address and put in use. Property and equipment and other non-current assets with definite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
e) Intangible assets
The Company has recorded various intangible assets consisting primarily of non-compete agreements, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships. Non-compete agreements are the value associated with the non-compete agreements entered by the sellers of purchased companies. Trademarks are the purchase price allocation for the value associated with the trade name of the acquired company. Customer contracts are comprised of the purchase price allocation of the present value of expected future customer billings based on the statistical life of a customer. Customer relationships are the value given in the purchase price allocation to the long-term associations with referral sources such as doctors, medical centers, etc. Finite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Description |
| Estimated Useful Life |
Non-compete agreements |
| 5 Years |
Trademarks |
| 10 Years |
Customer contracts |
| 2 Years |
Customer relationships |
| 10 Years |
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) when the asset is derecognized.
The Company reviews the estimates for useful lives on an annual basis, or more frequently if events during the year indicate that a change may be required, with consideration given to technological obsolescence and other relevant business factors. A change in management’s estimate could impact depreciation/amortization expense and the carrying value of property and equipment and intangible assets.
f) Lease liabilities
Estimate of lease term
When the Company recognizes a lease, it assesses the lease term based on the conditions of the lease and determines whether it will extend the lease at the end of the lease contract or exercise an early termination option. As it is not reasonably certain that the extension or early termination options will be exercised, the Company determined that the term of its leases are the lesser of original lease term or the life of the leased asset. This significant estimate could affect future results if the Company extends the lease or exercises an early termination option.
Incremental borrowing rate
When the Company recognizes a lease, the future lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. This significant estimate impacts the carrying amount of the lease liabilities and the interest expense recorded on the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Critical Accounting Judgements
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that have been made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
a) Functional currency
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. Determined using management’s judgment that the primary economic environment in which it will derive its revenue and expenses incurred to generate those revenues is the United States. Management has exercised judgment in selecting the functional currency of each of the entities that it consolidates based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and in reference to the various indicators including the currency that primarily influences or determines the selling prices of goods and services and the cost of production, including labor, material and other costs and the currency whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine selling prices.
b) Business combinations
In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), a transaction is recorded as a business combination if the significant assets, liabilities, or activities in addition to property and related mortgage debt assumed constitute a business. A business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets, capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return, lower costs, or other economic benefits. Where there are no such integrated activities, the transaction is treated as an asset acquisition. The estimation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition is subject to judgement concerning estimating market values and predicting future events. These values are uncertain and can materially impact the carrying value of the acquired assets and the amount allocated to goodwill.
c) Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) when incurred.
Financial instruments
Fair value measurement
Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – Where financial instruments are traded in active financial markets; fair value is determined by reference to the appropriate quoted market price at the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in significant frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis;
Page | 11 |
Quipt Home Medical Corp. (Formerly, Protech Home Medical Corp.)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
Level 2 – If there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market data where possible, including recent arm’s length market transaction and comparisons to the current fair value of similar instruments, but where this is not feasible, inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility are used; and
Level 3 – In this level, fair value determinations are made with inputs other than observable market data.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1. The convertible debentures have been valued using Level 1 inputs.
Financial instrument risk exposure
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions are undertaken to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Risk management is carried out by management under policies promulgated by the Board of Directors. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable. Each subsidiary places its cash with one major financial institution. At times, the cash in the financial institution is temporarily more than the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Substantially all accounts receivable is due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors. The Company continuously monitors collections from its clients and maintains a reserve for expected credit losses based upon any specific payor collection issues that are identified and historical experience. The expected loss rates are based on the historical loss rates and are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables, such as the unemployment rate of the states in which it conducts business. Trade receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, a failure to make contractual payments after multiple collection efforts, including third party collection agencies.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately 8% of the Company’s receivables due from Medicare. As this is a federal health insurance program in the United States, there is nominal credit risk associated with these balances.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due by continuously monitoring actual and budgeted cash flows and monitoring financial market conditions for signs of weakness.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company faces no material liquidity risk and can meet all its current financial obligations as they become due and payable. The Company has $28,515,000 of liabilities that are due within one year but has $43,950,000 of current assets and availability under the revolving credit facility to meet those obligations.

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash and cash equivalents held with Chartered Canadian and registered US financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be immaterial. The interest on the debenture and equipment loans is not subject to cash flow interest rate risk as these instruments bear interest at fixed rates.

8. | Government Grant |
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company received payments related to the two separate provisions of the US CARES Act.
Payroll Protection Plan (“PPP’)
On April 16, 2020, the Company received $4,254,000 related to the PPP, which was to assist companies in maintaining their workforce. The PPP provided for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses. The loans and accrued interest were forgivable if the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities for up to twenty-four weeks, and maintains certain payroll levels. On March 23, 2022, the loan was forgiven, and other income in the amount of $4,254,000 has been recorded on the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022.
Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“Relief Fund”)
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company received $1,797,000 from the Relief Fund, which was established to support healthcare providers to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, including health care related expenses or lost revenues, subject to certain terms and conditions. If those terms and conditions are met, payments do not need to be repaid. No expenses related to the PPP can be used to meet the terms and conditions for the Relief Fund.
In September 2021, the Company submitted its filing with the Health and Human Services (“HHS”) supporting the use of the funds under the terms and conditions of the Relief Fund. The HHS has not indicated whether any formal notification of acceptance will be provided. The Company has accounted for the proceeds under IAS 20. The cash inflow has been reported as a financing activity. The original proceeds were recognized as a liability, which was reduced based on certain related costs incurred. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company reduced the liability by $1,166,000, which was included in other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). No reduction was recorded in the six months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

10. | Derivative warrant liability |
On June 29, 2020, the Company completed a bought deal public offering, a concurrent brokered private placement, and a non-brokered private placement to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, for 27,678,826 units, respectively. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), for a total of 13,839,413 Warrants. Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of 12 months following the closing at an exercise price of C$6.40 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2020, 13,559,300 Warrants for 3,389,825 common shares were exercised, and the remaining 280,113 Warrants for 70,028 common shares expired on June 29, 2021. The Warrants were recorded as a liability since they are denominated in Canadian Dollars and the Company’s functional currency is US dollars. A revaluation was performed each period end, with the change in fair value recorded in the caption “Change in fair value of warrants.” Upon exercise, the warrant liability was derecognized and transferred to equity.

Debentures
On March 7, 2019, the Company issued C$15,000,000 ($12,000,000) in 8.0% Convertible Unsecured Debentures due March 7, 2024, with interest payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. Each C$1,000 ($800) debenture is convertible at the option of the holder into 192.31 common shares. As of September 30, 2021, C$4,041,000 ($3,172,000) of debentures had been converted into common shares, leaving C$10,959,000 ($8,601,000) of face value debentures remaining. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, C$834,000 ($660,000) of debentures were converted into

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
common shares, leaving C$10,125,000 ($8,102,000) of face value of the debentures remaining. The fair value of the debentures on the dates of conversion totaled C$1,121,000 ($887,000). After three years from the date of issuance, the Company can force conversion of the outstanding principal at a conversion price of C$5.20, if the daily volume weighted average price of the common shares exceeds C$6.48 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. The debenture agreement also allows for payment of cash in lieu of common shares upon exercise of conversion right by the holder, equivalent of the market price on the conversion date.
The debentures contain multiple embedded derivatives including conversion right, forced conversion option and payment in lieu of common shares. Since the Company is unable to measure the fair value of embedded derivatives reliably, it has chosen to designate the convertible debentures in their entirety (including conversion right, forced conversion option and payment in lieu of common shares) to be subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The debentures are valued at fair value using the current trading price of C$124 ($99) and C$137 ($109) as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, per unit. A gain of $1,319,000 and $1,058,000 was recorded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. A loss of $7,254,000 and $7,889,000 was recorded for the three and six month ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Following is the movement in these debentures:

In conjunction with issuance of the debentures, the Company issued compensation options to the underwriters for 129,808 shares of the Company at an exercise price of C$5.20 for a period of two years from the closing of the transaction. The fair value of the options has been valued at $1.02 per option for a total of $133,000 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Equipment Loans
The Company is offered financing arrangements from the Company’s suppliers and the suppliers’ designated financial institutions, under which payments for certain invoices or products can be financed and paid over an extended period. The financial institution pays the supplier when the original invoice becomes due, and the Company pays the third-party financial institution over a period of time. In some cases, the supplier accepts a discounted amount from the financial institution and the Company repays the financial institution the face amount of the invoice with no stated interest, in twelve

equal monthly installments. The Company uses a 6% incremental borrowing rate to impute interest on these arrangements. In other cases, the supplier receives the full invoice price and Company pays a stated interest rate to the financial institution, ranging from 5.6% to 8.0%, with the terms of the financing ranging from 12 to 48 months. There are no covenants with the loans and the carrying value of the equipment that is pledged as security against the loans is $9,587,000 and $6,939,000 as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

SBA Loan
In conjunction with an acquisition on February 1, 2021, the Company assumed an SBA Loan. The face amount of the loan is $150,000 and bears interest at stated interest rate of 3.75%. Due to the below-market interest rate, the Company valued the loan at the net present value of the payments using its incremental borrowing rate of 6%, resulting in a fair value on the acquisition date of $122,000. The loan is payable in 360 monthly installments of $731 beginning June 2021 and is secured by substantially all the assets of the acquired subsidiary.
Following is the activity in the SBA Loan for the six months ended March 31, 2022:

Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2020, the Company entered a $20,000,000 asset-based revolving credit facility with a US bank. The facility matures in September 2024 and bears interest at floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.5% and has an unused commitment fee of 0.3%. The Company has no borrowings from this facility as at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Interest expense for the facility for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $13,000 and $25,000, respectively, and primarily related to the unused commitment fee. The facility is subject to a borrowing base based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and expected future revenues from existing customer rentals. Issuance costs are recorded in “deferred financing costs” on the consolidated statements of financial position and are being amortized on a straight-line over the four-year term of the facility for a total of $35,000 and $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and $70,000 and $70,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
12. | Share capital |
The Company considers its capital to be shareholders’ equity, which is comprised of capital stock, contributed surplus, shares to be issued, and accumulated deficit, in the amount of $65,710,000 and $58,622,000 as at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share amounts)
The Company raises capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure. Funds are primarily secured through equity, and long-term debt, including debentures, equipment loans and leases.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that given the relative size of the Company, this approach is reasonable. The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash, and short-term guarantee deposits, held with major Canadian and US financial institutions.
Authorized share capital
The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in series. The preferred shares issuable in series will have the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions assigned to the series upon the Board of Directors approving their issuance.
Issued share capital
The Company has only one class of common stock outstanding. Effective May 13, 2021, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares based on one post-consolidation common share for every four pre-consolidation common shares. Unless otherwise stated, the share, options and warrants along with corresponding exercise prices and per-share amounts have been restated retrospectively to reflect this share consolidation.
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction of equity, net of any income tax effects. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents items such as cumulative, foreign currency translation adjustments, the change in equity arising from unrealized gains and losses from financial instruments designated as available-for-sale, and changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and is presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated statements of financial position. The Company does not currently participate in hedging activities.
Bought deals and private placements
On June 29, 2020, the Company completed a bought deal public offering, a concurrent brokered private placement, and a non-brokered private placement to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, for a total of 27,678,826 pre-consolidation units, comprising 27,678,826 pre-consolidation shares, or 6,919,706 post-consolidation shares, and 27,678,826 warrants. Each unit issued was issued at a pre-consolidation price of C$1.15 for total gross proceeds of C$31,831,000 ($23,462,000) and consisted of one pre-consolidation common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) for a total of 13,839,413 Warrants. The fair value of the Warrants was recorded as a liability and valued at June 29, 2020, at $0.12, for a total of $1,628,000, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, as described in Note 10. Upon exercise, the warrant liability was derecognized and transferred to equity.
Following the consolidation, for every four Warrants exercised in accordance with its terms, the holder will be entitled to acquire one common share for a period of 12 months following the closing at an exercise price of C$6.40 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2021, 13,559,300 Warrants for 3,389,825 common shares were exercised, for total proceeds of C$21,695,000, or $17,473,000.

Issuance costs of $2,855,000 in cash were incurred in prior periods. These costs were allocated ratably between common shares and warrant liability, with $2,645,000 recorded as a reduction of equity and $210,000 recorded as “Transaction costs on issuance of financial liabilities.” The Company issued compensation options to the underwriter for 367,826 shares at the issue price of C$4.60 for a period of two years from the closing of the offering. The fair value of the options has been valued at $1.24 for a total of $456,000.

Shares to be issued
In conjunction with an acquisition on October 23, 2020, a portion of the purchase price is payable in shares. $2,376,000 (629,000 shares at a fair value of $3.78 per share) was issued in January 2021, and $657,000 (246,000 shares at a fair value of $2.67) is expected to be issued in August 2022. The fair value of the stock has been discounted by 15% and 25%, respectively, using the Black-Scholes pricing model for put options, to reflect the inability to sell the stock for a period and for the time between the date of the acquisition and the dates the stock is to be issued.
Stock options and grants
The Company has a stock option plan, which it uses for grants to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Options granted under the plan are non-assignable and may be granted for a term not exceeding ten years. Stock options having varying vesting periods and the options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2022 vest quarterly over quarterly over eight or twelve quarters.

Restricted stock units
On May 20, 2021, there were 953,750 restricted stock units granted to officers and directors. Each unit represents the right to receive one common share, and vests over a period of two years from the grant date at the rate of one-eighth every three months commencing three months after the grant date, with 340,156 restricted stock units being vested as of March 31, 2022. The shares are to be issued in the calendar year subsequent to the calendar year in which the units vested, or earlier upon a Change in Control, as defined.
On February 1, 2022, there were 81,340 restricted stock units granted to officers. Each unit represents the right to receive one common share, and vests in four installments on the last day of each calendar quarter of 2022, resulting in 20,335 restricted stock units being vested as of March 31, 2022. The shares are to be issued on December 31, 2022.
The fair value of the units on the date of grant are discounted to reflect the difference between the vesting dates and the issuance dates, resulting in compensation expense of C$7,586,000 ($6,285,000) and C$529,000 ($417,000) to be expensed over the vesting period with an increase to contributed surplus.

Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as prescribed by IFRS 2. Under this method, the fair value of stock options and restricted stock units at the date of grant is expensed over the vesting period and the offsetting credit is recorded as an increase in contributed surplus. Awards with graded vesting are considered to be multiple awards for fair value measurement. An estimate of the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited is also made at the time of grant and revised periodically if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows:

15. | Income (loss) per share |
Income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that would occur from the incremental shares issued if in-the-money securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares by assuming the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants are used to purchase common shares at the prevailing market price. For periods with a net loss, the potential dilutive shares were excluded because their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following reflects the earnings and share data used in the basic and diluted income (loss) per share computations:

The effect of instruments exercisable or convertible to common shares for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.
16. | Related party transactions |
The Company has six market rate leases for office, warehouse, and retail space with a rental Company affiliated with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the majority of which were entered into in 2015. The leases have a combined area of 74,520 square feet. Lease payments under these leases are approximately $52,000 per month, plus taxes, utilities, and maintenance.

Reporting entity
The Company changed its name from Protech Home Medical Corp. to Quipt Home Medical Corp. on May 13, 2021. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol QIPT. Effective May 13, 2021, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares based on one post-consolidation common share for every four pre-consolidation common shares. The change in name and share consolidation were completed in anticipation of the Company’s application to list its common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). On May 27, 2021, the stock began trading on NASDAQ in the United States under the symbol QIPT. Effective May 13, 2021, Unless otherwise stated, the share, options and warrants along with corresponding exercise prices and per-share amounts have been restated retrospectively to reflect this share consolidation.
Quipt business objective
The explosive growth in the number of elderly patients in the US healthcare market is creating pressure to provide more efficient delivery systems. Healthcare providers, such as hospitals, physicians, and pharmacies, are seeking partners that can offer a range of products and services that improve outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, and help control costs. Quipt fills this need by delivering a growing number of specialized products and services to achieve these goals. Quipt seeks to provide an ever-expanding line of products and services over larger geographic regions within the United States using several growth strategies.
Future outlook
Quipt expects to generate net profit and positive Adjusted EBITDA, as defined herein. Our top priority continues to be the generation of operational net profit, positive cash flow, and growth in EBITDA in fiscal year 2022 and beyond. As we continue to expand in our existing markets, we plan to leverage our business platforms to enter new markets. As we continue to grow and achieve scale, the increasing cash generated from operations will be used to market our service and to gain market share. Our continued integration and rationalization, as well as our acquisitions, have given us a focus and path towards profitability at each business unit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Going forward, we seek to find ways to continue to grow our customer base and penetrate these markets, while continuing to streamline our operational platform and generate positive cash flow and operational profits. We will continue to improve on operational efficiencies and call center management as they are key execution points in order to maintain our healthy gross margin while growing revenues via the cross selling of services to existing and acquired patients.
OPERATING RESULTS
Accounting policies and estimates
The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the governing body of the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period of consolidated financial statements.
IFRS accounting treatment
Management does not rely upon non-cash IFRS accounting treatment of certain items such as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, changes in the fair value of financial derivatives, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance or in making financial decisions.
Non-IFRS measures
Throughout this MD&A, references are made to several measures which are believed to be meaningful in the assessment of the Company’s performance. These metrics are non-standard measures under IFRS and may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Also, in the future, we may disclose different non-IFRS financial measures in order to help our investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare our future results of operations to our previously reported results of operations. Readers are cautioned that the disclosure of these items is meant to add to, and not replace, the discussion of financial results as determined in accordance with IFRS. The primary purpose of these non-IFRS measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors who wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or uncontrollable items on the Company’s operating performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
In calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, certain items (mostly non-cash) are excluded from net income (loss), including interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of derivative financial liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Set forth below are descriptions of the financial items that have been excluded from net income or loss to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the material limitations associated with using these non-IFRS financial measures as compared to net income or loss.
● | Depreciation and amortization expense may be useful for investors to consider because they generally represent the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations and amortization of intangibles valued in acquisitions. However, we do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the current and ongoing cash charges related to our operating costs. |
● | The amount of interest expense we incur or interest income we generate may be useful for investors to consider and may result in current cash inflows or outflows. However, we do not consider the amount of interest expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business. |
Page | 4
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
● | The change in fair value of derivative financial liabilities is the change in value of the debenture, warrants, and purchase price payable in common shares, and these changes are non-cash. |
● | Income tax expense may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred income taxes and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use. However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business. |
● | Stock-based compensation may be useful for investors to consider because it is an estimate of the non-cash component of compensation received by the Company’s directors, officers, employees, and consultants. However, stock-based compensation is being excluded from the Company’s operating expenses because the decisions which gave rise to these expenses were not made to increase revenue in a particular period but were made for the Company’s long-term benefit over multiple periods. While strategic decisions, such as those to issue stock-based awards are made to further the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and impact the Company’s earnings under IFRS, these items affect multiple periods and management is not able to change or affect these items within any period. |
● | The amount of acquisition-related costs we incur, including for both completed and abandoned acquisitions may be useful for investors to consider and results in current cash outflows. However, we do not consider the amount to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business. |
● | Other income related to CARES Act government grant programs may be useful for investors to consider as it resulted from cash inflows. However, we do not consider it to be a representative component of the day-to-day operating performance of our business, since it is non-recurring. |
Management uses both IFRS and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance.
The following table shows the Company’s IFRS measures reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measures) for the indicated periods.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation increased to approximately $1,161,000 and $3,271,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, due to the grants of 953,750 restricted stock units and 1,396,000 stock options in May 2021 and the 81,340 restricted stock units in February 2022.
Interest expense
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $26,000 to $487,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $513,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquidity
Management considers liquid assets to consist of cash and its line of credit availability. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $17,394,000 and line of credit availability of $20,000,000. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have enough liquidity to meet its liabilities when due by continuously monitoring actual and budgeted cash flows and monitoring financial market conditions for signs of weakness.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company faces no material liquidity risk and can meet all its current financial obligations as they become due and payable. The Company has $28,515,000 of liabilities that are due within one year but has $43,950,000 of current assets and $20,000,000 of availability under the revolving credit facility to meet those obligations.
Capital management
The Company considers its capital to be shareholders’ equity, which is comprised of share capital, contributed surplus, shares to be issued, and accumulated deficit, which totaled $65,710,000 at March 31, 2022, along with long-term debt, which totaled $16,301,000 at March 31, 2022.
The Company raises capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure. Funds are primarily secured through equity capital, convertible debentures raised by way of private placements, and debt instruments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
On June 29, 2020, the Company completed a bought deal public offering, a concurrent brokered private placement, and a non-brokered private placement to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, for a total of 27,678,826 units. Each unit issued was issued at a price of C$1.15 for total gross proceeds of C$31,831,000 and consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). The fair value of the Warrants is recorded as a liability and valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Upon exercise, the warrant liability was derecognized and transferred to equity. The unexercised Warrants were derecognized and recorded in the caption “Change in fair value of derivative financial liabilities” upon their expiration on June 29, 2021.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, liquid, and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and short-term guarantee deposits, held with major Canadian and US financial institutions.
The Company had the following equity instruments outstanding at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

Financing
Historically and currently, the Company has financed its operations primarily from cash flow from operations, equipment loans, debentures, leases, equity financing, and through the issuance of shares to acquire businesses.
Debentures
On March 7, 2019, the Company issued C$15,000,000 in 8.0% Convertible Unsecured Debentures due March 7, 2024, with interest payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. Each C$1,000 ($807) debenture is convertible at the option of the holder into 192.31 common shares. As of September 30, 2021, C$4,037,000 of debentures had been converted into common shares, leaving C$10,959,000 ($8,601,000) of face value debentures remaining. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, C$834,000 of debentures were converted into common shares, leaving C$10,125,000 ($8,012,000) of face value of the debentures remaining. The fair value of the debentures on the dates of conversion totaled C$12,555,000, or $10,047,000. After three years from date of issuance, the Company can force conversion of the outstanding principal at a conversion price of C$5.20, if the daily volume weighted average price of the common shares exceeds C$6.48 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. The debenture agreement also allows for payment of cash in lieu of common shares upon exercise of conversion right by the holder, equivalent of the market price on the conversion date.
Equipment Loans
The Company is offered financing arrangements from the Company’s suppliers and the supplier’s designated financial institution, in which payments for certain invoices or products can be financed and paid over an extended period. The

financial institution pays the supplier when the original invoice becomes due, and the Company pays the third-party financial institution over a period of time. In some cases, the supplier accepts a discounted amount from the financial institution and the Company repays the financial institution the face amount of the invoice with no stated interest, in twelve equal monthly installments. The Company uses a 6% incremental borrowing rate to impute interest on these arrangements. In other cases, the supplier receives the full invoice price and Company pays a stated interest rate to the financial institution, ranging from 5.6% to 8.0%, with the terms of the financing ranging from 12 to 48 months. Future payments on these liabilities are as follows:

Lease Liabilities
The Company enters into leases for real estate and vehicles. Real estate leases are valued at the net present value of the future lease payments at an 8% incremental borrowing rate. Vehicle leases are recorded at an interest rate implicit in the lease based on the current value and the estimated residual value of the vehicle, equating to rates ranging from 1.7% to 10.4%.

Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2020, the Company entered a $20,000,000 asset-based revolving credit facility with a US bank. The facility matures in September 2024 and bears interest at floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.5% and has an unused commitment fee of 0.3%. The Company has no borrowings from this facility as at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Interest expense for the facility for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $13,000 and $25,000, respectively, and primarily related to the unused commitment fee. The facility is subject to a borrowing base based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and expected future revenues from existing customer rentals. Issuance costs are recorded in “deferred financing costs” on the consolidated statements of financial position and are being amortized on a straight-line over the four-year term of the facility for a total of $35,000 and $70,000 for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Contingencies
The Company was in litigation with Lightwater Long Short Fund (“Lightwater”) during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2021. The litigation was settled in December 2021 for approximately $150,000, which was recorded in operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Results of operations for the healthcare services market in which the Company operates show little seasonality from quarter to quarter. The increase in revenues from the past year is primarily due to the Company’s acquisitions during the year ended September 30, 2021 and the six months ended March 31, 2022.
Related party transactions
The Company has six market rate leases for office, warehouse, and retail space with a rental Company affiliated with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the majority of which were entered into in 2015. The leases have a combined area of 74,520 square feet. Lease payments under these leases are approximately $52,000 per month, plus taxes, utilities, and maintenance.
Expense for Board of Directors’ fees were $88,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Fees were $128,000 and $98,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation for the Board of Directors was $(341,000) and $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $237,000 and $21,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Off balance sheet arrangements
The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE MATTERS
Financial reporting controls
The Company is required to certify the design and evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company is not required to certify the design and effectiveness regarding internal controls over financial reporting. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has evaluated the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and determined them to be ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company has initiated SOX compliance efforts and engaged outside consultants to assist in the evaluation of the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and to remediate the ineffective disclosure controls.
There were no substantive changes in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates, judgments, and assumptions 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 prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates where management has made subjective judgments and where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include fair value measurements for financial instruments and share-based transactions, useful lives and impairment of non-financial assets (property and equipment and intangible assets), provision for expected credit losses, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisition, and calculation of deferred taxes.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are billed to and collections are received from both third-party insurers and patients. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, the consideration receivable from these insurance companies is variable as these billings can be challenged by the payer. Therefore, the amount billed by the Company is reduced by an estimate of the amount that the Company believes is an allowable charge to be ultimately allowed by the insurance contract. The above estimate involves significant judgment including an analysis of past collections and historical modification rates. Management regularly reviews the actual claims approved by the insurance companies, adjusting as required.
Page | 12
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Valuation of accounts receivable
The measurement of expected credit losses considers information about past events and current conditions. Forward looking macro-economic factors are incorporated into the risk parameters, such as unemployment rates, inflation, and interest rates. Significant judgments are made in order to incorporate forward-looking information into the estimation of allowances and may result in changes to the provision from period to period which may significantly affect our results of operations.
The Company estimates that a certain portion of receivables from customers may not be collected and maintains a reserve for credit losses. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of accounts receivable as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial position. Specifically, the Company considers historical realization data, including current and historical cash collections, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends, and relevant business conditions. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that the estimates could change, which could have a material impact on the operating results and cash flows. If circumstances related to certain customers change or actual results differ from expectations, our estimate of the recoverability of receivables could fluctuate from that provided for in our consolidated financial statements. A change in estimate could impact bad debt expense and accounts receivable.
Business combinations
In accordance with IFRS 3 – Business Combination (“IFRS 3”), a transaction is recorded as a business combination if the significant assets, liabilities, or activities in addition to property and related debt assumed constitute a business. A business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets, capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return, lower costs, or other economic benefits. Where there are no such integrated activities, the transaction is treated as an asset acquisition. The estimation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition is subject to judgement concerning estimating market values and predicting future events. These values are uncertain and can materially impact the carrying value of the acquired assets and the amount allocated to goodwill.
Lease liabilities
Estimate of lease term
When the Company recognizes a lease, it assesses the lease term based on the conditions of the lease and determines whether it will extend the lease at the end of the lease contract or exercise an early termination option. As it is not reasonably certain that the extension or early termination options will be exercised, the Company determined that the term of its leases are the lesser of original lease term or the life of the leased asset. This significant estimate could affect future results if the Company extends the lease or exercises an early termination option.
Incremental borrowing rate
When the Company recognizes a lease, the future lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. This significant estimate impacts the carrying amount of the lease liabilities and the interest expense recorded on the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Significant accounting judgments
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that have been made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Functional currency
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, determined using management’s judgment that the primary economic environment in which it will derive its revenue and expenses incurred to generate those revenues is the United States. Management has exercised judgment in selecting the functional currency of each of the entities that it consolidates based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and in reference to the various indicators including the currency that primarily influences or determines the selling prices of goods and services and the cost of production, including labor, material and other costs and the currency whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine selling prices.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instrument risk exposure
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions are undertaken to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies and evaluates the financial risks in co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable. Each subsidiary places its cash with one major financial institution. At times, the cash in the financial institution is temporarily in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Substantially all accounts receivables are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, directly from patients or for rebates due from manufacturers. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors and from manufacturers. The Company continuously monitors collections from its clients and maintains a reserve for credit losses based upon any specific payor collection issues that are identified and historical experience.
The Company recorded bad debt expense of $5,579,000 and $4,289,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, no one customer represented more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company does have more than 8% of receivables due from Medicare. As this is a federal health insurance program in the United States, there is nominal credit risk associated with these balances.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the Company will be subject to foreign currency fluctuations in satisfying obligations denominated in foreign currencies. All of the Company’s sales and inventory sold and most all of the Company’s operating expenses are in US dollars. The Company’s debentures, derivative warrant liability, purchase price payables in shares, and common shares are denominated in Canadian dollars. Cash is maintained in both US dollars and Canadian dollars. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.
The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposures to foreign currency cash flows by holding most of its cash in US dollars. The Company monitors foreign currency exposures and from time to time
Page | 14
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations.
Based on the above net exposure at the six months ended March 31, 2022, depreciation, or appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar could result in a significant effect on net loss. The Company has not employed any foreign currency hedging programs.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity risk is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have enough liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal conditions by continuously monitoring actual and budgeted cash flows.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company faces no material liquidity risk and can meet all its current financial obligations as they become due and payable. The Company has $28,515,000 of fliabilities that are due within one year but has $43,950,000 of current assets and $20,000,000 of availability under its revolving credit facility to meet those obligations
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with US and Canadian financial institutions. The Company considers this risk to be immaterial. The interest on the Company’s debt is not subject to cash flow interest rate risk as these instruments bear interest at fixed rates. The Company’s revolving line of credit has a floating rate, but the Company does not borrow significant amounts on this line.
While it is impossible to identify all such risk factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include:
Market Price of the Company’s shares
The Company’s shares are listed and posted for trading on the NASDAQ and the TSX Venture Exchange. Securities of small-cap and healthcare companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the Company’s shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in cost of goods, or in financial condition or results of operations. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Company that may have an effect on the price of the Company’s shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the business of the Company may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Company’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Company’s securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of the Company’s shares; the size of the Company’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Company’s securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the Company’s shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Company’s securities, if listed on an exchange, to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.
As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Company’s shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of the Company. Securities class-action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Company may in the future be the target of
Page | 15
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.
Dilution
The Company will require additional funds in respect of the further development of the Company through acquisitions. If the Company raises funds by issuing additional equity securities, such financing will dilute the equity interests of its existing shareholders.
Future Sales of Shares by Existing Shareholders
Sales of the Company’s shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Company’s shares and could impair The Company’s ability to raise capital through future sales of the Company’s shares. The Company may from time to time have previously issued securities at an effective price per share which will be lower than the market price of the Company’s shares. Accordingly, certain shareholders of the Company may have an investment profit in the Company’s shares that they may seek to liquidate.
Limited History of Operations
The Company has a limited history of operations. There can be no assurance that the business of the Company will be successful and generate, or maintain, any profit.
Reimbursement Rates May Decline / Competitive Bid
Reimbursement for services to be provided by the Company come primarily from Medicare and private health insurance companies. The reimbursement rates offered are outside the control of the Company. Reimbursement rates for much of the US health care market have been subject to continual reductions as health insurers and governmental entities attempt to control health care costs. The extent and timing of any reduction in reimbursement rates cannot be predicted by the Company.
Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) oversees a competitive bidding program covering durable medical equipment (“DME”), the process in which a Medicare supplier provides DME products to Medicare beneficiaries. It is possible that the Company may not be selected in some or all the Competitive Bidding Area (“CBA”) and/or product categories if and when the next competitive bidding process occurs. Non-selection for CBA and/or product category may result in loss of revenue and referral sources.
Reductions in reimbursement rates can have a material impact on the profitability of the Company’s operations. A reduction in reimbursement may be unrelated to any concurrent decline in the cost of operations, thereby resulting in reduced profitability. The Company’s costs of operations could increase, but the cost increases may not be passed on to customers because reimbursement rates are set without regard to the cost of service.
Dependence Upon Relationships with Key Suppliers
There are few manufacturers of equipment for certain of the Company’s products. This presents risks that suppliers may not be able to provide equipment to satisfy demand. Demand may outstrip supply, leading to equipment shortages. Conversely, incorrect demand forecasting could lead to excess inventory. If the Company fails to achieve certain volume of sales, prices of inventory may increase. The industry is subject to a high level of regulatory scrutiny, and government or manufacturer recalls could adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve revenue targets. Inadequate supply could
Page | 16
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
impair the Company’s ability to attract new business and could create upward pricing pressure on equipment and supplies, adversely affecting margins for the Company.
Reliance Upon Few Payors
The Company will earn revenues by seeking reimbursement from Medicare and private health insurance companies, with the Medicare program of the US government being the largest entity making payments. If the Medicare program were to slow payments of receivables for any reason, the Company would be adversely impacted. In addition, both governmental and private health insurance companies may seek ways to avoid or delay reimbursement, which could adversely affect cash flow and revenues for the Company.
Government Regulation
Some operations of the Company will require certain licenses and permits from the authorities in the United States. The ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to obtain, sustain, or renew any such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable authorities or other governmental agencies. The ability of the Company to collect certain revenues in the future will depend on the Company receiving approval of an independent diagnostic testing facility and entering into an agreement with Medicare. There is no guarantee that the Company will meet these conditions. The Company will be subject to regulation from United States federal and state authorities. Regulatory action could disrupt its ability to provide services. Such regulatory action could come in the form of actions against manufacturers, unrelated to the Company’s conduct, or actions based upon the Company’s operations. Regulatory action could prevent or delay reimbursement for certain services.
There could also be legislative action that could adversely affect the Company’s business model, including, without limitation: a decision by the United States government to become the exclusive provider of health care services at some time in the future; changes in United States federal or state laws, rules, and regulations, including those governing the corporate practice of medicine, and fee splitting; and changes in the United States Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law and/or similar state laws, rules, and regulations. Conversely, budgetary problems in the United States could lead to reduced funding, substantial modification, or elimination of Medicare programs, which would end reimbursement for many patients. There can be no assurance that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail the business of the Company. Amendments to current laws and regulations could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.
Highly Competitive Market
The Company will participate in a highly competitive market, which may become more competitive as new players enter. Certain competitors will be subsidiaries or divisions of larger, much better capitalized companies. Certain competitors will have vertically integrated manufacturing and services sectors of the market. The Company may have less capital and may encounter greater operational challenges in serving the market. Better capitalized competitors may also be expected to borrow money or raise debt to purchase equipment more easily than the Company.
Foreign Subsidiaries
The Company plans to conduct all its operations through respective United States subsidiaries. Therefore, to the extent of these holdings, the Company (directly and indirectly) will be dependent on the cash flows of these subsidiaries to meet its obligations. The ability of such subsidiaries to make payments to their parent companies may be constrained by the following factors: the level of taxation, particularly corporate profits and withholding taxes, in the jurisdiction in which each subsidiary operates; and the introduction of exchange controls or repatriation restrictions or the availability of hard currency to be repatriated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel Including Directors
The Company has a small management team and the loss of a key individual or inability to attract suitably qualified staff could have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company. The success of the Company depends on the ability of management to interpret market data correctly and to interpret and respond to economic, market and other conditions to locate and adopt appropriate opportunities. No assurance can be given that individuals with the required skills will continue employment with the Company or that replacement personnel with comparable skills can be found. The Company will be dependent on the services of key executives, including the directors of the Company and a small number of highly skilled and experienced executives and personnel. Due to the relatively small size of the Company, the loss of these persons or the Company’s inability to attract and retain additional highly skilled employees may adversely affect its business and future operations.
Dividends
The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to finance the operation, development, and expansion of its business. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Company’s shares in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that the Company’s Board may consider relevant. Accordingly, investors will only see a return on their investment if the value of the Company’s shares appreciates.
Discretion in the Use of Available Funds
Management will have broad discretion concerning the use of available funds of the Company as well as the timing of their expenditures. As a result, shareholders and investors will be relying on the judgment of management of the Company for the application of available funds of the Company. Management may use the available funds in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and the effectiveness of the application of available funds are uncertain. If available funds are not applied effectively, the Company’s results of future operations and cash flow may suffer.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged as directors and officers of other companies in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of such other corporations, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other companies engaged in other business ventures.
Conflicts of interest, if any, which arise may be subject to and be governed by procedures prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) which require a director or officer of a corporation who is a party to or is a director or an officer of or has a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with the Company to disclose his interest and to refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract unless otherwise permitted under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving the Company should be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Insurance and Uninsured Risks
The Company’s business will continue to be subject to several risks and hazards generally, including general liability. Such occurrences could result in damage to property, inventory, facilities, personal injury or death, damage to the properties of the Company, or the properties of others, monetary losses, and possible legal liability. The Company may be
Page | 18
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
subject to product liability and medical malpractice claims, which may adversely affect its operations. The Company’s industry is highly regulated, and the Company may be subject to regulatory scrutiny for violations of regulations and laws. The Company could be adversely affected by the time and cost involved with regulatory investigations even if it has operated in compliance with all laws. Investigations could also adversely affect the timely payment of receivables.
Although the Company will maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. The Company might also become subject to liability which may not be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.
Additional Capital
The development and the business (including acquisitions) of the Company may require additional financing, which may involve high transaction costs, dilution to shareholders, high interest rates or unfavorable terms and conditions. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of its business plans. As the Company will likely be unable to obtain traditional debt financing until it has a profitable and longer operating history, the initial primary source of funding available to the Company will consist of equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to the Company.
Loss of Foreign Private Issuer Status
The Company may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses. As a foreign private issuer, as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is currently exempt from certain of the provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. For example, an issuer with total assets in excess of $10 million and whose outstanding equity securities are held by 2,000 or more persons, or 500 or more persons who are not “accredited investors”, must register such securities as a class under the Exchange Act. However, as a foreign private issuer subject to Canadian continuous disclosure requirements, the Company may claim the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act provided by Rule 3-2(b) thereunder, even if these thresholds are exceeded. To be considered a foreign private issuer, the Company must satisfy a United States shareholder test (not more than 50% of the voting securities of a company must be held by residents of the United States) if any of the following disqualifying conditions apply: (i) the majority of the Company’s executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50 percent of the Company’s assets are located in the United States; or (iii) the Company’s business is administered principally in the United States. Based on information available as at the date hereof, approximately 26.7% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities are anticipated to be directly or indirectly held of record by residents of the United States. If the Company loses its status as a foreign private issuer, these regulations could apply and it could also be required to commence reporting on forms required of U.S. domestic companies, such as Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. It could also become subject to U.S. proxy rules, and certain holders of its equity securities could become subject to the insider reporting and “short swing” profit rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, any securities issued by the Company if it loses foreign private issuer status would become subject to certain rules and restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even if they are issued or resold outside the United States. Compliance with the additional disclosure, compliance and timing requirements under these securities laws would likely result in increased expenses and would require the Company’s management to devote substantial time and resources to comply with new regulatory requirements.

United States Operations and Exchange Rate Fluctuations
All the Company’s revenue generating operations will occur in the United States. The Company will be subject to several risks associated with its operations that may increase liability and costs and require significant management attention. These risks include:
● | compliance with laws of the United States that will apply to the Company’s United States operations, including lawful access, privacy laws and anti-corruption laws |
● | instability in economic or political conditions, including inflation, recession, and political uncertainty |
● | potential adverse tax consequences; and |
● | litigation in United States courts. |
In addition, the Company will be exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of all of its revenue-generating operations taking place in the United States and thus, revenues and expenses being earned and paid in US dollars while having a significant amount of debt denominated in Canadian dollars. If the Canadian dollar appreciates relative to the US dollar, the Company’s Canadian dollar liabilities decrease when translated to US dollars for financial reporting purposes. Conversely, if the Canadian dollar depreciates relative to the US dollar, the Company’s Canadian dollar liabilities will increase when translated to US dollars for financial reporting purposes.
The Company expects to continue to maintain cash balances in both United States and Canadian dollars, but management anticipates that it will not purchase any securities or financial instruments to speculate on or hedge against a rise or fall in the value of the United States dollar.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In light of the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the United States and abroad, including the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus, government and public health authorities continue to recommend or impose regulations designed to protect human life, but which have simultaneously had (and are expected to continue to have) serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented protocols and procedures for the safety and protection of its employees (including patient-facing employees providing respiratory and other services), maximizing the availability of its services and products to support patient health needs, and the operational and financial stability of its business. The Company continues to make adjustments in response to changing government regulations and directives. COVID-19 and the emergence of variants could further impact the Company’s expected timelines and operations, its third-party service providers or suppliers, as a result of quarantines, facility closures, travel and logistics restrictions and other limitations in connection with the outbreak.
It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with COVID-19 and subsequent variants will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company’s business, operations, and financial results. Although the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the continued presence and spread of COVID-19 nationally and globally could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and position, including through employee attrition, disruptions to the Company’s supply chains and sales channels, restrictions of operations at the Company’s retail stores, changes in the number of Americans with health insurance resulting in a change in demand

for the Company’s products, as well as a deterioration of general economic conditions including a possible national or global recession.
To the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or other health epidemic or outbreak, adversely affects the Company’s business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Risk Factors section. Because of the highly uncertain and dynamic nature of events relating to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to estimate its impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition beyond that discussed above. However, these effects could have a material impact and the Company intends to continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. The continuing nature and scope of COVID-19’s impacts to the Company’s business and operations will depend on a series of evolving factors and developments that are difficult to assess, predict, or control, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | the severity and duration of the pandemic, including additional outbreaks or spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases, future mutations or related variants of the virus, and the efficacy and availability of vaccines; |
• | the extent and duration of the effect on consumer confidence, economic well-being, deferred medical care, the rate of elective procedures and even recommended screening tests, as well as customer demand; |
• | the duration, degree, and impact of governmental, business, or other measures implemented in response to the pandemic; |
•the impacts on the Company’s distribution channels and supply chain;
•volatility or disruptions in the credit and financial markets;
• | increased cyber security risks, including as a result of the Company’s employees, business partners, vendors, suppliers and other third parties with which the Company does business, working remotely; |
• | evolving macroeconomic factors, including general economic uncertainty, product costs, unemployment rates, and recessionary and inflationary pressures; |
• | the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and the pace and extent of recovery when the pandemic subsides, which may vary materially over time and among the different regions and markets the Company serves; |
• | the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, financial markets, trade relations, consumer behavior, the industry in which the Company operates, and its business operations; and |
•relaxation or lifting of government mandates and restrictions related to COVID-19, such as the mask mandate.
The above factors and risks, among others, are difficult to predict and could result in material adverse impacts to the Company’s business, operations, cash flows, financial condition, and the value of the Company’s share price. In addition, it is difficult to predict the potentially adverse impacts that COVID-19 could continue to have on the Company’s customers, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners, which, in turn could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business. Additionally, the impact of COVID-19 could further exacerbate the impact of the other risk factors contained in this and the other reports the Company files with the SEC and the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Company continues to monitor the situation and work with its stakeholders (including customers, employees, and suppliers) in order to assess further possible implications to its business, supply chain, and customers, and, where practicable, mitigate adverse consequences and responsibly address this global pandemic.

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“Provider Relief Fund” or “PRF”). Additionally, the CARES Act revised the Medicare accelerated and advance payment program in an attempt to disburse payments to healthcare providers more quickly to mitigate the financial impact on healthcare providers. See Note 8 for relief payments the Company received related to the US Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.
Supply Chain Constraints and Commodity Pricing
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain and, accordingly, the global economy has been experiencing supply chain constraints, due to factory closures and reduced manufacturing output. In the event that supplies and materials required by the Company in order to deliver its products and services are interrupted or delayed as a result of supply chain issues, it may have an material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Inflation Risks
Inflation in the United States began to rise significantly in the second half of the calendar year of 2021 and has continued to accelerate in the calendar year 2022. This is primarily believed to be the result of the economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the global supply chain disruptions, strong economic recovery and associated widespread demand for goods, and government stimulus packages, among other factors. For instance, global supply chain disruptions have resulted in shortages in materials and services. Such shortages have resulted in inflationary cost increases for labor, materials, and services, and could continue to cause costs to increase as well as scarcity of certain products. The Company is experiencing inflationary pressures in certain areas of its business, including with respect to fuel costs for delivery vehicles, surcharges from vendors, and wage inflation. The Company cannot, however, predict any future trends in the rate of inflation or associated increases in its operating costs and how that may impact its business. To the extent the Company is unable to recover higher operating costs resulting from inflation or otherwise mitigate the impact of such costs on its business, the Company’s revenues and gross margins could decrease, and its financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Changes in Market Interest Rates
Interest rates have recently been at relatively low levels on a historical basis. Recently, in light of the economic recovery and higher than anticipated inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve recently raised the federal rate in March and again in May in response to rising inflation rates. The Company’s current long-term debt has fixed rates, however, increased market rates may materially and negatively affect the Company’s future borrowing rates.
Economic Conditions and Economic Downturn or Recession Risk
The benefits the Company has realized and may continue to realize from participating in relief programs provided under the CARES Act may not be sufficient to enable it to withstand the current economic conditions and any extended economic downturn or recession which may result from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company has received funds under the CARES Act, and has benefited from other relief measures pursuant to the CARES Act and other government stimulus. Receipt of additional government funds and other benefits from the CARES Act is subject to, in certain circumstances, a detailed application and approval process and it is unclear whether the

(Tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands, except per share amounts)
Company will meet any eligibility requirements, receive any funds and the extent to which these funds may offset the Company’s pandemic-related cash flow disruptions. Additionally, retaining these funds subjects the Company to various terms and conditions. While the Company has taken steps to ensure compliance with these terms and conditions, any violation may trigger repayment of some or all of the funds received. Further, funds the Company has received or may receive, either directly through participation in government programs, or indirectly through increased revenues attributable to a possible economic recovery generated in whole or in part by the CARES Act, may not be sufficient to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recall of certain Royal Philips BiPAP and CPAP Devices and Ventilators
The recall of certain Royal Philips BiPAP and CPAP devices and ventilators that the Company distributes and sells could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. On June 14, 2021, Royal Philips (“Philips”) initiated a voluntary recall notification with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for certain Philips BiPAP (bi-level positive airway pressure) and CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and mechanical ventilator devices that the Company distributes and sells. Philips initiated this recall to address potential health risks related to the polyester-based polyurethane (“PE-PUR”) sound abatement foam component in these devices. To date, Philips has produced millions of BiPAP and CPAP devices and ventilators using the PE-PUR sound abatement foam. Despite a complaint rate of 0.03% in 2020, Philips determined based on testing that there are possible health risks to users of the devices related to this type of foam, including that the foam may degrade into particles that may be ingested or inhaled by the user, and that the foam may off-gas certain chemicals. According to Philips, the potential risks of particulate exposure include headache, irritation, inflammation, respiratory issues, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects, and the potential health risks of chemical exposure due to off-gassing include headache, irritation, hypersensitivity, nausea/vomiting, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects.
Philips has stated that it (i) is providing the relevant regulatory agencies with required information related to the launch and implementation of the projected correction, (ii) will replace the current sound abatement foam with a new material, (iii) has already begun the preparations, which include obtaining the relevant regulatory clearances, and (iv) aims to address all affected devices in scope of this correction as expeditiously as possible. While Philips produces alternative CPAP devices and ventilators that are not impacted by the recall, these alternative CPAP devices and ventilators are being used to replace recalled CPAP devices and ventilators rather than be sold to suppliers for placement with newly diagnosed patients. Depending on the time it takes for the FDA and Philips to resolve the issue, potential delays and shortages of BiPAP and CPAP devices and ventilators may occur in the industry in which the Company operates, which could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and prospects if it is unable to procure replacement products at a reasonable cost on a timely basis, or at all.
Additionally, the Company does not currently know the full scope of potential risks that may arise as a result of the recall and replacement of BiPAP and CPAP and mechanical ventilator devices described above. Due to the volume of the Company’s patients currently using, or who have used in the past, the BiPAP and CPAP and mechanical ventilator devices affected by the recall described above as well as future users of any replacement devices, any litigation, class action or governmental enforcement actions (including, but not limited to, claims relating to product liability, negligence, patient harm including claims for personal injury or wrongful death, consumer protection, or fraud, overpayment or improper billing for services and products affected by the recall or replacement) that may involve the Company could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In general, the reporting of product defects or voluntary recalls to the FDA or analogous regulatory bodies outside the United States could result in manufacturing audits, inspections and broader recalls or other disruptions to the Company and/or its suppliers’ businesses. The recall described above and future recalls, whether voluntary or required, could result in significant costs to the Company and significant adverse publicity, which could harm the Company’s ability to market its products in the future.

Management Commentary:
“We are extremely proud of the robust results we experienced in our fiscal second quarter which showed accelerating momentum across our heavily weighted respiratory product mix as the quarter progressed. Looking to the beginning of the fiscal third quarter, we are pleased to report we had the highest level of CPAP inventory since the recall began and have seen a positive inventory trend continue in real time,” said CEO and Chairman Greg Crawford. “Moreover, demand remains very strong for at home respiratory care which will continue to foster consistent financial performance. This strong demand coupled with an extremely bullish regulatory environment, provides us the ability to drive our organic and inorganic initiatives over the near term, and we are working diligently to progress on our plan of becoming a leader in clinical respiratory care throughout the United States. On the acquisition front, our pipeline remains very strong with many strategic opportunities ranging in size, and we look forward to progressing on attractive targets to leverage the unparalleled scalable platform we have created. Our strategy is allowing us to grow market share in new and existing markets and we are also excited to accelerate the hiring of experienced sales professionals as we exit the pandemic environment, which we expect to be a drive of future organic growth. We are extremely encouraged about the growth path we are on, carving out a special segment of the homecare industry and we are well positioned to seize the growth opportunity ahead of us.”
Chief Financial Officer Hardik Mehta added, “Our record fiscal second quarter results demonstrate our ability to successfully navigate a challenging operating environment, with revenue reaching $33.6 million, experiencing improving
organic growth over fiscal Q1 2022, strong operating cash flow and seeing our Adjusted EBITDA margin accelerate to 21%. The strong performance was driven through elevated demand for oxygen, ventilation therapy and our other supplies business, leading to larger volumes, and continuing to support the business with lower operating costs. We are also very pleased with the integration process of our recent acquisitions, as we continue to drive meaningful cost and revenue synergies. Integration is the key to our ongoing financial and operating success as it positions us to continue working towards potential future strategic acquisitions. We continue to add attractive targets to our already deep acquisition pipeline that fit our stringent criteria including potential expansionary opportunities into synergistic verticals of service that would enhance our end-to-end product and service offering. Our goal is to be very active over the near term and look forward to updating investors on our progress.”

In addition, this non- IFRS measure addresses questions the Company routinely receives from analysts and investors and, in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors.
