Currently, most of the Company's business is conducted with customers within markets in which the Company has experience, and with payment terms that are customary to the Company's business.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct labor expended in the manufacturing of products and the delivery of services, the cost of raw materials and finished goods, and other overhead costs attributable to the manufacture of products or delivery of services.

Depreciation of property and equipment. Depreciation of property and equipment consists primarily of manufacturing equipment and information technology assets expensed over their useful lives.

Amortization of right-of-use assets. The right-of-use asset is a lessee's right to use an asset and is amortized over the life of the lease.

The Company's liquidity and capital structure are evaluated regularly within the context of the Company's annual operating and strategic planning process. The Company considers the liquidity necessary to fund the Company's operations, which includes working capital needs. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the Company's rate of revenue growth, property and equipment to expand manufacturing capacity, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and administrative activities, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, and the satisfaction of earn-outs and other contingent liabilities related to acquisitions.

If the Company is required to access the debt markets, it expects to be able to secure borrowing rates consistent with the market at that time. As part of the Company's liquidity strategy, the Company will continue to monitor the Company's current level of spending and cash use as well as the Company's ability to secure additional credit facilities, term loans, or other similar arrangements in light of the Company's spending levels and general financial market conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Debt and Commitments

Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2024, include debt of $8.4 million, a line of credit facility of $5.5 million, and lease obligations of $5.4 million reflecting the minimum commitments for the Company's office and warehouse spaces.

There are obligations as of June 30, 2024, for earnout consideration associated with completed acquisitions. As of June 30, 2024, these obligations are estimated to be settled with $3.2 million in stock and $6.3 million in cash payments.

The Simbex earnout was due to be paid with stock of the Simbex acquisition parent subsidiary and cash in the month of April 2023. On May 19, 2023, 6,383,952 Class A shares were issued to the former owners of Simbex in connection with the conclusion of its earnout period at a fair market price of $0.29 per share fulfilling the Company's stock earnout obligation. The number of shares were allocated to the previous owners based on their percentage of ownership on the date of sale. On May 19, 2023, 1,743,244 of these Class A shares were then converted to 1,743,244 common shares. As of December 31, 2023, the cash component remains unpaid. Under the terms of the Simbex acquisition agreement, the unpaid cash earnout payment accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Although management has been in discussions with the Simbex sellers to modify and extend the payment date for the cash earnout payment, there can be no assurances that any agreement will be reached in this regard or that the Simbex sellers may not take legal action to collect this obligation, which could result in significant legal costs and efforts to defend such claims. See Note 4 to the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding acquisitions.

The DaMar earnout was to be paid with stock of the DaMar acquisition parent subsidiary and cash in the month of April 2024. As of the filing of this report, the Company is in final stages of formalizing terms upon which the cash payment is to be made and a formal payment schedule will be completed in Q3 2024. See Note 4 to the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding acquisitions.

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement providing for the acquisition of Biodex, which consists principally of the Biodex Physical Medicine business. The purchase agreement provided for the purchase of all of the capital stock of Biodex in consideration for a total of US$8 million in cash, minus indebtedness, transaction expenses and plus or minus a working capital adjustment, payable as follows: (i) the closing payment to the Sellers of US$1 million in cash was made on April 3, 2023, and (ii) three installment payments totaling US$7 million, plus or minus the post-closing adjustment, as follows: US$2 million on July 1, 2023, US$3 million on October 1, 2023, plus or minus the Post-Closing Adjustment, and US$2 million on January 1, 2024. The payment of the installment payments is secured by the pledge of the Biodex capital stock as security to Seller, pursuant to the terms of a promissory note. As of March 31, 2024, the US$2 million, US$3 million and US$2 million installment payments had not been paid by the Company. On April 2, 2024, a $2.1 million payment was made from the proceeds of the Simbex sale, reducing the outstanding balance.

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") pursuant to which the seller of this business has agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against the Company, including the Acceleration Right, through the earlier to occur of the Company's default under the Forbearance Agreement; or July 31,2025, subject to, among other things, the following: (i) all past due amounts under the Debt shall accrue interest at 12% per annum; (ii) the payment by the Company on or prior to October 31,2023 of approximately US$1.5 million; (iii) the payment by the Company each month commencing August 2023 of all of Salona's (together with its subsidiaries') cash in excess of US$2.5million at the end of each month until late payments, including accrued interest (the "Late Payments"), are current with the original Debt payment schedule ("Original Debt Schedule"); (iv) the payment by the Company of 50% of any capital raised by the Company until the Late Payments are current with the Original Debt Schedule; (v) the Company obtaining prior consent from the Seller before it can make capital expenditures in excess of US$100,000 for any reason other than repair of equipment needed for its operations; (vi) the Company not declaring a dividend or initiating a share repurchase until such time as the obligations under the Original Debt Schedule are current; (vii) the Company not engaging in any merger or acquisition activities until such time as the obligations under the Original Debt Schedule are current or are brought current as a result of the merger or acquisition; and (viii) the Company being required to utilize 80% of any available credit lines or such percentage as allowed by its respective lender to access cash until the obligations under the Original Debt Schedule are current.

The Company has been in discussions to raise funds through equity and debt financing. As the Company's funding activities are ongoing, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure funding on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. While management has developed and is in process to implement plans that management believes could alleviate in the future the substantial doubt that was raised, management concluded at the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements that substantial doubt exists as those plans are not completely within the control of management.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises when one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge its obligations. The company is exposed to credit risk on its trade receivables. Credit risk is minimized by ensuring the credit worthiness of the entities with which it carries on business. The Company's clients predominantly consist of hospitals, universities and other similar institutions, many of whom are repeat clients and have a long-term relationship with the Company. The amount reported for trade receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is net of allowance for doubtful accounts and the net carrying value represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

Management regularly reviews the credit terms and monitors the age and balances that are outstanding. Customer payment terms are predominantly 30 days from invoice date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, no amounts were written off as uncollectable.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk where the Company is exposed to changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates that affect its financial assets, financial liabilities, and future transactions.

Sensitivity Analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening and/or weakening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar on June 30, 2024 against March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, would have affected the measurement of financial instruments and affected the profit or loss.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because changes of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates on its asset based credit lines, term loans and equipment loans.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures.
