We are a veterinary health company creating products for companion animals by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. We expect that our product portfolio will include innovative diagnostics and medical devices that emphasize patient health and practice health. With a team that includes clinical veterinary professionals, our goal is to provide veterinarians the opportunity to increase productivity and grow revenue while better serving the animals in their care.

U.S. consumers are expected to spend an estimated $99 billion on their pets in 2020 according to the American Pet Products Association, or APPA, an increase of approximately 4% from 2019 ($95.7 billion). According to a 2019 pet owner survey conducted by the APPA, 67% of U.S. households have at least one pet, equal to nearly 85 million homes. This survey also indicated that 93% of dog-owning households visit the vet every year and it is estimated that there were 170 million clinical visits in the U.S in 2018. In 2019, the APPA also reported that U.S. pet owner spending on vet care and related products generated $29.3 billion in revenue. For 2020, this figure is projected to increase by approximately 3% to $30.2 billion.

Veterinary diagnostics is a growing market. A 2019 dvm360 Magazine survey states that 61% of respondents indicated that they were providing more diagnostic services than the prior year. Similarly, a 2016 Credit Suisse survey of veterinarians found that 73% of respondents expected their diagnostic testing to increase over the next 12 months. According to a 2019 MarketsandMarkets article, the companion animal diagnostics market is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2024 from $1.7 billion in 2019, at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate, or CAGR, of 9.8%. The growth in this market is driven by the rising companion animal population, increasing utilization of pet insurance, and the growth in the number of veterinary practitioners in developed countries. The growing demand for rapid tests and portable instruments for point-of-care services is expected to offer potential growth opportunities for market players in the coming years. Furthermore, in 2020, IHS Markit reported that the global veterinary immunodiagnostic market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% and reach $2.1 billion by 2022.

We believe that several factors have contributed and will continue to contribute to an increase in spending on pet healthcare. Companion animals generally are living longer, with the average lifespan for dogs increasing to 15.4 years, according to the University of Washington’s Dog Aging Project. In 2015, the American Animal Hospital Association estimated that the average dog will need approximately $3,600 in veterinary care over its lifespan. We believe humanization of pets, longer pet lifespan, and the physical and emotional benefits of support animals will bolster growth of the veterinary health care market.

COVID-19 restrictions appear to have positively affected the relationship people have with their pets. The APPA reports greater than 70% of pet owners surveyed in its COVID-19 Pulse Survey indicated they were spending more time with pets, which alleviated the stress of social distancing and isolation. New pet adoptions and fostering appear to have risen at least early in the pandemic with USA Today reporting many shelters experiencing a significant reduction in their shelter populations. While it is unknown if a permanent increase in pet placement has occurred, demand for veterinary services is rebounding as restrictions ease and veterinary services are deemed essential. VetSuccess tracks weekly financial performance for veterinary practices across the United States. As of September 30, 2020, it reports financial performance for 3,040 clinics. While year over year revenue and invoices for these practices were down by 2.3% and 5.4% respectively for the period beginning February 1 and ending April 30, there has been steady improvement each month with VetSuccess reporting year over year increase in revenue by 18.5% and invoices by 8.2% for the month of September. The market for companion animal veterinary services long has been considered recession proof by some as pet care expenditures grew during the 2001 and 2008-2009 recessions.

The development of companion animal diagnostics continues to evolve with the addition of new technologies to diagnostic portfolios. We believe that these new technologies may allow for the following:

Compared to human diagnostic development, the development of companion animal diagnostics is generally faster and less expensive since it typically requires smaller clinical studies with fewer subjects. We believe that the lower cost of developing companion animal diagnostics enables us to pursue multiple diagnostic candidates simultaneously and to spread the risk of failure across a number of candidates, rather than concentrating all of our resources on one diagnostic candidate that ultimately may fail to achieve regulatory approval or market acceptance.

We believe that there is a significant unmet medical need for faster, more efficient and accurate disease/condition detection solutions for veterinarians. We have identified diagnostic assay candidates that we believe have the potential to satisfy unmet needs or improve upon existing diagnostic processes frequently used by companion animal veterinarians.

Our strategic focus is on the final development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA^® diagnostic biosensor platform and the first five assays for the detection of thyroid disorders in dogs and cats and adrenal disorders in dogs. The TRUFORMA^® platform uses Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology to provide a non-optical and fluorescence free detection system for use at the point-of-care. We believe that BAW technology will enable precise and repeatable test results at the point-of-care during a typical veterinary appointment. The TRUFORMA^® platform is being developed together with Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC., or Qorvo Biotech.

Dogs commonly suffer from thyroid and adrenal disorders, while cats commonly suffer from thyroid disease. Diagnostics are a vital part of identifying these disorders in sick patients exhibiting signs of illness as well as screening apparently healthy patients at risk for disease to detect disease before significant illness occurs. Multiple assays must be performed to reach a definitive diagnosis. The ability to run all the necessary tests at the point-of- care does not currently exist and tests must often be sent to a reference lab.

We have five initial assays under development, comprising two panels – one each to detect thyroid and adrenal disease. We have completed verification for canine and feline TSH, canine and feline tT4, canine fT4 and canine cortisol assays, and validation efforts are underway for all of these assays. Results of the verifications have been encouraging.

The combined dynamic range of the canine and feline TRUFORMA^® TSH assay is 0.008-10.0 ng/mL compared to the Siemens IMMULITE® Canine TSH assay dynamic range of 0.03-12 ng/mL. This assay will enable quantification of samples with low levels of TSH, which is necessary to discriminate normal and hyperthyroid feline samples. Verification data comparing the canine TRUFORMA^® TSH assay to the Siemens IMMULITE Canine TSH assay showed high correlation (R=0.99). A feline-optimized TSH assay is not commercially available.

The combined dynamic range of the canine and feline TRUFORMA^® tT4 assay is 0.45-30.0 µg/dL compared to the Siemens IMMULITE tT4 assay dynamic range of 0.5-15 µg/dL. Verification data comparing the canine and feline TRUFORMA tT4 assay to the Siemens IMMULITE Canine tT4 reference lab assay showed high correlation (R=0.94).

The dynamic range of the canine TRUFORMA^® fT4 assay is 7.4-77.2 pmol/L compared to the Siemens IMMULITE Veterinary Free T4 assay dynamic range of 3.9-77.2 pmol/L. Verification data comparing the canine TRUFORMA® fT4 assay to the Siemens IMMULITE Veterinary Free T4 reference lab assay showed high correlation (R=0.92). We believe that this will be the first fT4 assay available at the point-of-care.

The dynamic range of the canine TRUFORMA^® cortisol assay is 0.35-24.0 µg/dL compared to the Siemens IMMULITE Cortisol assay dynamic range of 1-50 µg/dL. Verification data comparing the canine TRUFORMA^® cortisol assay to the Siemens IMMULITE Cortisol reference lab assay showed high correlation (R=0.97).

The feasibility and design phases of the TRUFORMA^® ACTH assay have been completed, with verification expected to begin in the near future.

The availability of canine eACTH at point of care has the potential to change the way veterinarians manage the two most common canine adrenal diseases, Cushing’s and Addison’s, by providing accurate results more quickly.

In September 2020 we agreed with Qorvo to develop three new assays, Cobalamin, cPL (canine Pancreatic Lipase), and Folate, to target diagnosis of canine gastrointestinal issues.

Following the commercial launch of TRUFORMA^®, we expect to continue the development of another point-of-care diagnostic platform, which is based on miniaturized laser-based Raman spectroscopy technology and is designed to detect pathogens in companion animals. We believe this platform may enable the identification of biological and biochemical signatures in complex biological samples and has the potential to achieve reference lab sensitivity/specificity to screen for a wide range of pathogens in companion animal feces, urine, respiratory, and dermatological samples in minutes without the need for extensive sample prep or the use of reagents. The diagnostic platform requires a small fecal sample preparation. Additionally, the platform has automated analysis and does not require specialized staff training. We believe that this diagnostic platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United States. This platform is being developed together with Seraph Biosciences, Inc., or Seraph.

Veterinarians must use labor intensive, unreliable manual processes to identify fecal parasitic infections at the point-of-care. Consequently, veterinarians frequently send samples out to reference labs to test for and identify parasitic infections, which is relatively expensive and may take several days, delaying diagnosis and treatment. We expect that our diagnostic platform may deliver multiple benefits over existing technology, including speed of results with minimal sample preparation time to achieve real-time analysis of a sample in a disposable cuvette. We believe testing with our platform may result in a reliable identification of fecal and urine infections within minutes. In addition to faster results and treatment, an added benefit to pet owners may be the small sample size requirements, which are expected to reduce the burden of collection by the owner prior to the visit and stress associated with direct collection during the patient visit.

We have performed initial development work on a circulating tumor cell (CTC) “liquid biopsy” platform for use in a reference lab setting as a canine cancer diagnostic. This platform is intended for use to detect canine cancers faster, more affordably and less invasively compared to existing methods, which can be expensive and cost prohibitive for pet owners. We have worked on the development of an assay for use with this platform that targets hard-to-diagnose canine cancers, such as hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma. This platform is being developed together with Celsee, Inc., a Bio-Rad Laboratories company, or Celsee.

In early 2020, we successfully completed the development and manufacturing milestones for our liquid biopsy platform.

Consistent with our focus on the development of point-of-care diagnostic platforms, we intend to seek one or more partners for the further development and commercialization of the liquid biopsy platform.

We had commenced previous work on developing certain drug products for use in canines and felines. Given our current focus on diagnostic devices, we presently do not intend to continue any development work in relation to these drug products. However, we have maintained our rights in relation to these products and may re-evaluate our position in the future.

In November 2018, we entered into a development and supply agreement with Qorvo focused on bringing Qorvo’s piezo-electric BAW sensor to the veterinary health sector. Under the terms of this agreement, we have exclusive, global rights to develop and market Qorvo's investigational point-of-care diagnostic platform for veterinary use during the term. Under the agreement, Qorvo and we will collaborate on the development of veterinary diagnostic assays. The joint development work initially targeted five assay cartridge candidates to detect thyroid and adrenal disorders in dogs and cats, and in 2020 we agreed with Qorvo to expand the assays to include a canine gastrointestinal panel with three assays. Qorvo is responsible for the development of the assay cartridges and the instrument. We have agreed to pay for the associated non-recurring engineering costs of up to $500,000 per initial assay cartridge and the instrument and are responsible for the validation of the assay cartridges and the instrument. Qorvo will supply us, on an exclusive basis, with the instruments and the related assay cartridges to be developed under the agreement pursuant to a rolling forecast, subject to specified minimum purchase requirements, at prices specified in the agreement. We will be responsible for the marketing and sale of the disposable assay cartridges and instruments. The agreement, which is exclusive worldwide in the practice of veterinary medicine for the health and wellbeing of any non-human animal, has an initial term of ten years (subject to early termination and extension in certain circumstances).

We paid Qorvo $1.0 million and issued to Qorvo unregistered common shares having a value of $4.4 million, consisting of an aggregate of 2,565,789 common shares with an ascribed price of $1.52 per share. We paid an additional $5 million of milestone payments in the first quarter of 2019. In the second and third quarters of 2020, we paid our final two milestone payments to Qorvo of $3 million and $2 million, respectively. In connection with the agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement providing Qorvo with certain registration rights with respect to the common shares to be issued by us under the agreement.

In May 2018, we entered into a development, commercialization and exclusive distribution agreement with Seraph, a human biomedical device company. Under the terms of this agreement we have exclusive global veterinary industry rights, except for (i) food safety or animal product or byproduct applications and (ii) animal import/export control applications, to develop and market a novel pathogen detection system in the form of a point-of-care diagnostic instrument. The agreement covers development and validation of our fecal/urine pathogen detection assays. We are responsible for development and validation, and their associated costs. Seraph will supply us, on an exclusive basis, with the hardware platform, associated software and the consumables to be developed under the agreement, pursuant to a rolling forecast, at prices specified in the agreement. We will be responsible for the marketing and sale of the hardware platform, associated software and the consumables. The agreement has a term of seven years (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) and automatically renews for additional one-year terms thereafter unless one of the parties elects to terminate the agreement.

We paid Seraph up-front fees of $500,000 and issued to Seraph unregistered common shares having a value of $1,238,513, consisting of an aggregate of 641,717 common shares at an ascribed price of $1.9479 per share. Seraph is entitled to additional payments for development costs. Seraph will be entitled to receive up to an additional $7,000,000, payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in additional unregistered common shares, upon the achievement of a series of staged, specified milestones, including completion of laboratory studies and field studies, production and commercial shipment of products. Seraph is entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the common shares to be issued by us under the agreement. In addition, we have agreed to pay Seraph license fees based on a percentage of gross profit from commercial sales of the product.

In January 2017, we entered into a collaborative research agreement with Celsee, a developer of diagnostics for the detection and quantification of cells and other markers. Subsequent to this agreement, in December 2017, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Celsee for exclusive global rights to develop and market Celsee’s liquid biopsy platform. The agreement with Celsee covers the development and commercialization of liquid biopsy assays and related consumables for the detection of cancer in companion animals.

We paid Celsee up-front fees of $500,000 and issued to Celsee unregistered common shares having a value of $230,131, consisting of an aggregate of 112,314 common shares at an ascribed price of $2.2259 per share. We issued Celsee an additional 657,894 unregistered common shares having a value of $1 million at an ascribed price of $1.52. upon the achievement of specified milestones, namely, completion of product development and upon completion of manufacturing milestones. All milestone payments to Celsee were satisfied as of December 31, 2019.

In January 2020, we amended and restated the Celsee agreement to acknowledge the completion of the initial development work and to provide for definitive supply and pricing terms for the liquid biopsy instrument and related consumables.

Under the terms of the restated agreement, we continue to have veterinary oncology care exclusive global rights to develop and market Celsee’s liquid biopsy platform for use by veterinarians as a cancer diagnostic.

Celsee will supply us on an exclusive basis with the assays and the consumables for the products to be developed under the agreement pursuant to a rolling forecast to be provided by us at prices specified in the agreement. We will be responsible for the marketing and sale of the assays and the related consumables. The agreement, which is exclusive in the field of veterinary cancer diagnostic applications, has a term of five years (subject to termination in certain circumstances) and automatically renews for additional two-year terms thereafter (subject to either party determining not to renew).

We engage in development work on our diagnostic platforms in conjunction with our strategic partners. We also have engaged in research and development activities relating to our drug product candidates. We use various contract research organizations, or CROs, to assist in performing our research and development activities. In connection with these activities, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses were $8,043,891 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $10,345,291for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We believe our strategy of partnering with a distributor and marketing directly to veterinarians is consistent with the current practice of veterinarians, who perform some of their own diagnostic tests and send other diagnostic samples to reference labs for analysis. This will enable us to expand our commercial reach to a majority of all veterinarians in our chosen markets. We believe that we can compete effectively by utilizing a combination of distributors and our own direct sales force.

Additionally, we are continuing to conduct comprehensive market research across the United States with private, corporate and institutional clinics, along with key opinion leaders and academia, to obtain feedback on our product development efforts and to build relationships with key market influencers.

We are in the process of building our sales organization to include distributors, distributor support representatives, direct sales representatives, and professional service veterinarians. We have a distribution agreement with Miller Veterinary Supply for the distribution of TRUFORMA^®. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, Miller will be representing us in states ranging from Texas to Maine, concentrated in the eastern and mid-eastern portion of the United States. They will be supported by several Zomedica sales employees in the field assigned to work with the Miller sales representatives to enhance the level of customer service provided relating to TRUFORMA^®. Zomedica currently is recruiting these support representatives as part of its commercialization preparation.

We have no internal manufacturing capabilities for our proposed and future products.

Under our license and supply agreements, Qorvo, Seraph and Celsee are responsible for the manufacture and supply of the equipment and consumables to us. These strategic partners have primary responsibility for assuring that all products will be manufactured in accordance with applicable laws and meet all agreed upon specifications.

For existing relationships, we intend to rely primarily upon a combination of in-licensed exclusive rights, proprietary know-how, and confidentiality agreements to protect our diagnostic assays, product formulations, processes, methods and other technologies and to preserve any trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of other parties, both in the United States and in other countries. We currently do not own any issued patents, although we have filed patent applications (described below) and intend to apply for patent protection where feasible

We have filed five U.S. patent applications, and three PCT applications for U.S. and international protection of our diagnostic tests.

We depend upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our management personnel, as well as that of our other employees, advisors, consultants and contractors, none of which are patentable. To help protect our know-how, and any inventions for which patents may be difficult to obtain or enforce, we require all of our employees, consultants, advisors and other contractors to enter into customary confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements that prohibit the disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable, require disclosure and assignment to us of their ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions important to our business.

Our potential competitors include large veterinary diagnostics companies, small businesses focused on animal health, reference laboratory services provided by academic institutions, and in-clinic product providers. These competitors include Idexx Laboratories, Inc., Antech Diagnostics, a unit of VCA Inc., Abaxis, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoetis Inc., Heska Corporation and Zoetis Inc.

Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially more financial, technical, and human resources than we do. Many also have far more experience in the development, manufacture, regulation and worldwide commercialization of animal diagnostics and medical devices. We also expect to compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies and private organizations that are conducting research in the fields of animal diagnostics and animal medical devices. If such competing products are successfully commercialized before our products, or if our intellectual property protection fails to provide us with exclusive marketing rights for some of our products, we may be unable to compete effectively in the markets in which we participate.

Our future diagnostic product candidates may be subject to regulatory review by the USDA-CVB and/or post-marketing oversight by the USDA-CVB or FDA-CVM. Generally speaking, full diagnostic kits aimed at the detection of an infectious disease in animals, including the materials required for testing along with instructions for use and interpretation of results, used at the point-of-care, including in-office diagnostic tests, may be subject to pre-market regulatory review and approval by the USDA-CVB. The USDA-CVB’s review process for diagnostics is subject to some variability based on the type of diagnostic kit being reviewed, however, the USDA-CVB will generally review the results of specific tests that are required to be conducted in accordance with the USDA-CVB’s testing criteria. These include diagnostic sensitivity/specificity studies, conducted using a large number of samples of U.S. origin, reproducibility/repeatability/suitability studies used to evaluate test kits under field conditions in participating laboratories, ruggedness studies in which manufacturers measure the ruggedness or robustness of the diagnostic test kits based on the capacity of the assay to remain unaffected by small variations in or deviations from the instructions for use (for example, not allowing the samples to reach the designated temperature), and stability studies. Diagnostic products and testing kits that do not claim to detect or diagnose an infectious disease and that are not designed for use at the point-of-care are generally subject only to post-marketing oversight by the FDA-CVM or the USDA-CVB. While the sale of these products does not require premarket approval by the FDA-CVM and does not subject us to the FDA-CVM’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) requirements, these products must not be adulterated, mislabeled or misbranded under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FDC Act, and are subject to post-marketing review.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 19 employees. Of our employees, four are engaged in research and development activities, seven are engaged in business development, sales and marketing activities, and eight are engaged in corporate and administrative activities. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Our corporate headquarters and research and development laboratory are located in Ann Arbor, Michigan where we lease and occupy approximately 16,226 feet pursuant to a lease that expires January 31, 2025. In February 2020 we entered into an amended lease agreement whereby our original lease for approximately 26,540 square feet of space was bought out and a new lease was issued for 16,226 square feet of office space. In February 2021 we began negotiations for a new lease.

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and us (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”) which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing our TRUFORMA^TM diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. Heska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the Defendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. We believe that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Under the terms of the Development and Supply Agreement, dated November 26, 2018, by and between Qorvo Biotech and the Company (as amended, the “Qorvo Agreement”), Qorvo Biotech agreed to indemnify us and certain related parties against claims alleging infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Qorvo Biotech has notified us that Qorvo Biotech has assumed the defense of the amended Complaint and will indemnify us for losses arising from the amended Complaint in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo Agreement. Qorvo Biotech has further advised us that it intends to mount a vigorous defense to the claims in the amended Complaint, and that it believes the allegations contained in the amended Complaint are without merit.

We have a limited operating history, are not profitable and may never become profitable.

We have not generated any revenue to date, and we expect to continue to incur significant research and development costs and other expenses. Our net loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $16.9 million and $19.8 million. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $68.9 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had total shareholders' equity of approximately $66.1 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, as we continue our product development and commercialization activities. Even if we succeed in developing and broadly commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never become profitable. If we fail to achieve or maintain profitability, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or cease operations.

We do not have any products available for sale at this time. Although we believe that we do not require pre-market approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, or the FDA-CVM, or the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Health Inspection Service’s Center for Veterinary Biologics, or USDA-CVB, to market and sell TRUFORMA® , our Raman spectroscopy-based point-of-care diagnostic platform, nor our circulating tumor cell, or CTC, diagnostic assay that we are developing, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our expected timing for the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform and the five initial assays.

We are also seeking to identify potential complementary opportunities in the animal health sectors. We will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future to develop our existing products and any other product that we may develop or acquire. These expenditures will include: costs of developing and validating our diagnostic products and related assays and consumables; costs associated with conducting any required clinical trials; costs associated with completing other research and development activities; costs of identifying additional potential products; costs associated with payments to technology licensors and maintaining other intellectual property; costs of obtaining regulatory approvals; costs associated with securing contract manufacturers to meet our commercial manufacturing and supply capabilities; and costs associated with marketing and selling our products. In addition, our existing and future development agreements may require us to make significant cash milestone payments to our development partners and to pay certain development costs. We will not control the timing of these payments. We also may incur unanticipated costs. Because the outcome of our development activities and commercialization efforts is inherently uncertain, the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our existing or future products may be greater or less than we anticipate.

As a result, we may need to obtain additional capital to fund the development of our business. Except for our unsecured working capital line we have no existing agreements or arrangements with respect to any financings, and any such financings may result in dilution to our shareholders, the imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business or the value of our common shares.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate one or more of our product development programs or any future commercialization efforts.

The “Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019” (“COVID-19”) pandemic has materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform.

The COVID-19 pandemic materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform and the initial five assays. In response to the pandemic, our development partner had reduced the number of employees working in its facilities for a period of time which has delayed the completion of the verification of the five initial TRUFORMA® assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA® platform and the related assays. Veterinary hospitals and clinics that had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA® assays either shut down for a period of time or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions, which we have mitigated to a certain extent with our recent ability to successfully complete remote installations. Potential customers have at times restricted access to their facilities which has affected and may continue to affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, the spread and severity of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of governmental actions in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted our development partners and the COVID-19 pandemic, and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted our development partners and the COVID-19 pandemic, and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, our development partner for our TRUFORMA® platform and the related assays had reduced the number of employees working in its facility which significantly impacted our expected timing for the completion of the development and the commencement of the commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform and the related assays. If our suppliers are unable or fail to fulfill their obligations to us for any reason, we may not be able to manufacture our products and satisfy customer demand or our obligations under sales agreements in a timely manner, and our business could be harmed as a result. As noted above, there is continuing uncertainty relating to the potential effect of COVID-19 on our business. Infections may become more widespread and should that cause supply disruptions it would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, a significant health epidemic could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect the market for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant spike in unemployment and a concomitant decline in economic activity in the U.S. and many other countries. A worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments may have similar effects. Pet owners may be unwilling or unable to seek treatment for their pets in such circumstances, thereby decreasing demand for our products. In addition, as noted above, potential customers for our products have either shut down or limited their operations which has affected and may continue to affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. Potential customers also may be unwilling or unable to invest in new equipment or to introduce new treatments for their patients. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

We have generated net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. income tax purposes, but our ability to use these net operating losses may be limited by our inability to generate future taxable income.

Our U.S. businesses have generated consolidated net operating loss carryforwards (“U.S. NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of $19,595,073 as of December 31, 2020. These U.S. NOLs can be available to reduce income taxes that might otherwise be incurred on future U.S. taxable income. The utilization of these U.S. NOLs would have a positive effect on our cash flow. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate the taxable income in the future necessary to utilize these U.S. NOLs and realize the positive cash flow benefit. A portion of our U.S. NOLs have expiration dates. There can be no assurance that, if and when we generate taxable income in the future from operations or the sale of assets or businesses, we will generate such taxable income before such portion of our U.S. NOLs expire. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), federal NOLs generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), federal NOL carryforwards arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of such loss. Due to our cumulative losses through December 31, 2020 we do not anticipate that such provision of the CARES Act will be relevant to us. The deductibility of federal NOLs may be limited. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to TCJA or the CARES Act.

We have generated net operating loss carryforwards for Canadian income tax purposes, but our ability to use these net operating losses may be limited by our inability to generate future taxable income in Canada.

Our Canadian businesses have generated net operating loss carryforwards (“Canadian NOLs”) for Canadian federal and provincial income tax purposes. These Canadian NOLs can be available to reduce Canadian income taxes that might otherwise be incurred on future Canadian taxable income. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate the taxable income in the future necessary to utilize these Canadian NOLs. Our Canadian NOLs have expiration dates. There can be no assurance that, if and when we generate Canadian taxable income in the future, we will generate such taxable income before our Canadian NOLs expire.

We have generated U.S. NOLs, but our ability to reserve and use these U.S. NOLs may be limited or impaired by future ownership changes.

Our ability to utilize the U.S. NOLs after an “ownership change” is subject to the rules of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) Section 382. An ownership change occurs if, among other things, the shareholders (or specified groups of shareholders) who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, five (5%) percent or more of the value of our shares or are otherwise treated as five (5%) percent shareholders under Code Section 382 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder increase their aggregate percentage ownership of the value of our shares by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the value of the shares owned by these shareholders over a three-year rolling period. An ownership change could also be triggered by other activities, including the sale of our shares that are owned by our five (5%) shareholders. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 would impose an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income we may offset with U.S. NOLs. This annual limitation is generally equal to the product of the value of our shares on the date of the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate in effect on the date of the ownership change. The long-term tax-exempt rate is published monthly by the IRS. Any unused Section 382 annual limitation may be carried over to later years until the applicable expiration date for the respective U.S. NOLs (if any). In the event an ownership change as defined under Section 382 were to occur, our ability to utilize our U.S. NOLs would become substantially limited. The consequence of this limitation would be the potential loss of a significant future cash flow benefit because we would no longer be able to substantially offset future taxable income with U.S. NOLs. There can be no assurance that such ownership change will not occur in the future.

We have generated Canadian NOLs, but our ability to reserve and use these Canadian NOLs may be limited or impaired by future ownership changes.

Our ability to utilize the Canadian NOLs after a “loss restriction event” is subject to the rules of the Income Tax Act (Canada). A loss restriction event will occur if, among other things, there is change of control (which would generally occur if a person or group of related persons acquired more than 50% of our voting shares). If we experience a “loss restriction event”: (i) we will be deemed to have a year-end for Canadian tax purposes and (ii) we will be deemed to realize any unrealized capital losses and our ability to utilize and carry forward Canadian NOLs will be restricted.

We are substantially dependent on the success of our TRUFORMA® platform and cannot be certain that it will be successfully commercialized.

We are focused primarily on the development of our TRUFORMA® diagnostic platform and the related assays. Accordingly, our near-term prospects, including our ability to generate material product revenue, or enter into potential strategic transactions, will depend heavily on the successful development and commercialization of this product and the related assays, which in turn will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

Many of these factors are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing or commercializing our TRUFORMA® diagnostic platform and the related assays or any of our future products. If we are unsuccessful or are significantly delayed in developing and commercializing our products, our business and prospects will be materially adversely affected, and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.

The companion animal diagnostic and medical device markets are less developed than the related human markets and as a result no assurance can be given that our products will be successful. Veterinarians, pet owners or other veterinary health providers in general may not accept or utilize any products that we may develop. The companion animal care industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, and evolving industry standards, all of which could make our products obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances. We must continuously enhance our product offerings to keep pace with evolving standards of care. If we do not update our product offerings to reflect new scientific knowledge or new standards of care, our products could become obsolete, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our existing and any future products will depend on several factors, including:

Our dependence on suppliers could limit our ability to develop and commercialize certain products.

We rely on third-party suppliers to provide components in our products, manufacture products that we do not manufacture ourselves and perform services that we do not provide ourselves. Because these suppliers are independent third parties with their own financial objectives, actions taken by them could have a materially negative effect on our results of operations. The risks of relying on suppliers include our inability to enter into contracts with third-party suppliers on reasonable terms, inconsistent or inadequate quality control, relocation of supplier facilities, supplier work stoppages and suppliers’ failure to comply with applicable regulations or their contractual obligations. Problems with suppliers could materially negatively impact our ability to complete development, supply the market, lead to higher costs or damage our reputation with our customers.

In addition, we currently purchase many products and materials from sole or single sources. Some of the products that we purchase from these sources are proprietary and, therefore, cannot be readily or easily replaced by alternative sources. To mitigate risks associated with sole and single source suppliers, we will seek when possible to enter into long-term contracts that provide for an uninterrupted supply of products at predictable prices. However, some suppliers may decline to enter into long-term contracts, and we are required to purchase products with short term contracts or on a purchase order basis. There can be no assurance that suppliers with which we do not have contracts will continue to supply our requirements for products, that suppliers with which we do have contracts will always fulfill their obligations under these contracts, or that any of our suppliers will not experience disruptions in their ability to supply our requirements for products. In cases where we purchase sole and single source products or components under purchase orders, we are more susceptible to unanticipated cost increases or changes in other terms of supply. In addition, under some contracts with suppliers we have minimum purchase obligations, and our failure to satisfy those obligations may result in loss of some or all of our rights under these contracts or require us to compensate the supplier. If we are unable to obtain adequate quantities of products in the future from sole and single source suppliers, we may be unable to supply the market, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The commercial potential of our products is difficult to predict. The market for any product, or for companion animal diagnostics and medical devices overall, is uncertain and may be smaller than we anticipate, which could significantly and negatively impact our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

We believe that the emerging nature of our industry and our unproven business plan make it difficult to estimate the commercial potential of any of our proposed or future products. The market for any product that we seek to commercialize will depend on important factors such as the cost, utility and ease of use of our products, changing standards of care, preferences of veterinarians, the willingness of pet owners to pay for such products, and the availability of competitive alternatives that may emerge either during the product development process or after commercial introduction. If the market potential for our proposed and future products is less than we anticipate due to one or more of these factors, it could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the willingness of pet owners to pay for the use of our products may be less than we anticipate and may be negatively affected by overall economic conditions. Because relatively few pet owners purchase insurance for their companion animals, pet owners are more likely to have to pay for the use of our products directly and may be unwilling or unable to pay for any such use.

Our proposed and future products will face significant competition and may be unable to compete effectively.

The development and commercialization of veterinary diagnostics and medical devices is highly competitive, and our success depends on our ability to compete effectively with other products in the market and identify potential partners for continued development and commercialization.

There are a number of competitors in the diagnostic market that have substantially greater financial and operational resources and established marketing, sales and service organizations. We expect to compete primarily with commercial clinical laboratories, hospitals’ clinical laboratories and other veterinary diagnostic equipment manufacturers. Our principal competitors in the veterinary diagnostic market are IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Antech Diagnostics, a unit of VCA Inc., Abaxis, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoetis Inc., Heska Corporation and Zoetis Inc. We must develop our distribution channels and build our direct sales force in order to compete effectively in these markets. If we are unable to effectively manage our distribution channels in our highly competitive industry, we may fail to retain customers or obtain new customers and our business will suffer.

Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially more financial, technical and human resources than we do. Many also have far more experience than we have in the development, manufacture, regulation and worldwide commercialization of animal health diagnostics and medical devices. We also expect to compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies and private organizations that are conducting research in the fields of animal diagnostics and medical devices. If such competing products are commercialized prior to our products, or if our intellectual property protection fails to provide us with exclusive marketing rights for our products, we may be unable to compete effectively in the markets in which we participate. Contractual agreements between clinics and from competitors may limit practices’ ability to use other tests and technologies due to predetermined minimums in those agreements.

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, marketing and distribution of our proposed and future products may be subject to extensive regulation. We may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for our proposed or future diagnostic or medical device products under applicable regulatory requirements or maintain any regulatory approval obtained. The denial, delay or loss of any regulatory approval would prevent or delay our commercialization efforts and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, marketing and distribution of our product candidates may be subject to extensive regulation. We may not be able to market and sell any point-of-care diagnostic products or medical devices without pre-marketing approval from the USDA-CVB and/or FDA-CVM. To gain approval to market a pet point-of-care diagnostic product kit or a medical device, we must provide the results of specific tests required to be conducted in accordance with USDA-CVB and/or FDA-CVM’s guidance demonstrating data from Assay Validation Studies that demonstrate the diagnostic accuracy, analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity and ruggedness, and stability. In addition, we must provide manufacturing data meeting Good Manufacturing Procedures (“GMP”). The USDA-CVB and/or FDA-CVM may also require us to conduct costly postapproval testing and/or collect post-approval safety data to maintain our approval for any diagnostic or medical device. The results of our development activities, and the results of any previous studies conducted by us or third parties, may not be predictive of future results of future studies, and failure can occur at any time during or after the completion of development activities by us or our contract research organizations or CROs.

The USDA-CVB and/or FDA-CVM can delay, limit, deny or revoke approval of any of our product candidates for many reasons, including:

Further, even if we receive approval of our products, such approval may be for a more limited claim than we originally requested, the USDA-CVB may not approve the labeling that we believe is necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of our products and we may be required to conduct costly post-approval testing. Any delay or failure in obtaining applicable regulatory approval for the intended claims of our product candidates would delay or prevent commercialization of such products and would materially adversely impact our business and prospects.

Our strategic partnerships are important to our business. If we are unable to maintain any of these partnerships, or if these partnerships are not successful, our business could be adversely affected.

We have entered into a number of strategic partnerships that are important to our business and we expect to enter into similar partnerships as part of our growth strategy. These partnerships may pose a number of risks, including:

If any partnerships we enter into do not result in the successful development of our product candidates or if one of our partners terminates its agreement with us, we may not be able to successfully develop our product candidates, our continued development of our product candidates could be delayed and we may need additional resources to develop additional product candidates. All of the risks relating to our product development, regulatory approval and commercialization also apply to the activities of our partners and there can be no assurance that our partnerships will produce positive results or successful products on a timely basis or at all.

Additionally, subject to its contractual obligations to us, if a partner of ours is involved in a business combination or otherwise changes its business priorities, the partner might deemphasize or terminate the development of any technology licensed to it by us. If one of our partners terminates its agreement with us, we may find it more difficult to attract new partners and our perception in the business and financial communities and our stock price could be adversely affected.

We may in the future determine to partner with additional life science and technology companies for development of additional products. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate partners. Our ability to reach a definitive agreement for partnership will depend, among other things, upon our assessment of the partner’s resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of the proposed partnership and the proposed partner’s evaluation of a number of factors. If we are unable to reach agreements with suitable partners on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to access technologies that are important for the future development of our business. If we elect to fund and undertake development activities on our own, we may need to obtain additional expertise and additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to enter into partnerships and do not have sufficient funds or expertise to undertake the necessary development activities, we may not be able to further develop our product candidates and our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Under the terms of our partnership arrangements, we are required to make significant milestone and other payments to our strategic partners. The timing of any such payments is uncertain and could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations. If we are not able to make such payments when due, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

In November 2018, we entered into a development and supply agreement with Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC, or Qorvo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qorvo, Inc. Under this agreement, Qorvo is responsible for the development of certain assay cartridges and the related instrument. We agreed to pay the associated non-recurring engineering costs of up to $500,000 per assay cartridge and the instrument and are responsible for the validation of the assay cartridges and the instrument. Under the terms of this agreement, we were required to pay Qorvo additional milestone payments in cash or, if elected by Qorvo, additional unregistered common shares having a value calculated as specified in the agreement. All of the milestones under this agreement have been met and we paid Qorvo a total of $10.0 million in cash in connection therewith. Under the terms of the agreement, we will be responsible for the cost of additional development work undertaken by Qorvo on our behalf.

In May 2018, we entered into a development, commercialization and exclusive distribution agreement with Seraph Biosciences, Inc., or Seraph. Under this agreement, we are responsible for development and validation, and their associated costs. Seraph is entitled to additional payments for development costs. Seraph will be entitled to receive up to an additional $7,000,000, payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in additional unregistered common shares, upon the achievement of a series of staged, specified milestones, including completion of laboratory studies and field studies, production and commercial shipment of products. In addition, we have agreed to pay Seraph license fees based on a percentage of gross profit from commercial sales of ZM-020. At December 31, 2020, all milestone payments under our agreement with Seraph remain unpaid.

We will rely on third parties to conduct certain portions of our development activities. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates.

We have used contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and contract research organizations (“CROs”) to conduct our manufacturing and research and development activities. We expect to continue to do so, including with respect to our manufacturing, clinical validation, verification and beta testing of our proposed and future diagnostic and medical device products. These CMOs and CROs are not our employees, and except for contractual duties and obligations, we have limited ability to control the amount or timing of resources that they devote to our programs or manage the risks associated with their activities on our behalf. We are responsible to regulatory authorities for ensuring that products subject to regulatory authority are manufactured using good manufacturing practices and studies are conducted in accordance with the development plans and trial protocols, and any failure by our CMOs and CROs to do so may adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, subject us to penalties, or harm our credibility with regulators.

Our agreements with our CMOs and CROs may allow termination by the CMOs and CROs in certain circumstances with little or no advance notice to us. These agreements generally will require our CMOs and CROs to reasonably cooperate with us at our expense for an orderly winding down of the CMOs’ and CROs’ services under the agreements. If the CMOs and CROs conducting our manufacturing and studies do not comply with their contractual duties or obligations to us, or if they experience work stoppages, do not meet expected deadlines, terminate their agreements with us or need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our development protocols or quality expectations or for any other reason, we may need to secure new arrangements with alternative CMOs and CROs, which could be difficult and costly. In such event, our studies also may need to be extended, delayed or terminated as a result, or may need to be repeated. If any of the foregoing were to occur, regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates may be delayed, and we may be required to expend substantial additional resources.

The failure of any CMO and CRO to perform adequately or the termination of any arrangements with any of them may adversely affect our business.

We will rely on third-party manufacturers to produce our products. If we experience problems with any of these suppliers, the manufacturing of our product candidates or products could be delayed.

We do not have the capability to manufacture our proposed and future products and do not intend to develop that capability. As a result, we will rely on CMOs to produce our proposed and future products. We expect to enter into contracts with CMOs for the commercial scale production of the products we intend to commercialize. Reliance on CMOs involves risks, including:

Any of these risks could cause the delay of validation studies, clinical trials, regulatory submissions, the receipt of any required approvals or the commercialization of our products, cause us to incur higher costs and prevent us from commercializing our product candidates successfully. Furthermore, if our CMOs fail to deliver the required commercial quantities of finished product on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices and we are unable to find one or more replacement manufacturers capable of production at a substantially equivalent cost, in substantially equivalent volumes and quality and on a timely basis, we would likely be unable to meet demand for our products and could lose potential revenue.

Even if a product receives regulatory approval, it may never achieve market acceptance or commercial success.

Even if we obtain USDA-CVB or other regulatory approvals for a specific product, that product may not achieve market acceptance among veterinarians and pet owners and may not be commercially successful. Market acceptance of our products depends on a number of factors, including:

If our products fail to achieve market acceptance or commercial success, our business could fail and you could lose your entire investment.

If we are unable to establish sales capabilities on our own or through third parties, we may not be able to market and sell our existing or future products or generate product revenue.

We do not currently have a fully staffed sales organization. We intend to commercialize our products with a direct sales force and through third-party distributors. To achieve this, we will be required to build a direct sales organization and to establish relationships with distributors of veterinary products. We also will have to build our marketing, sales, managerial and other non-technical capabilities and make arrangements with third parties for distribution and to perform certain of these other services, and we may not be successful in doing so. Building an internal sales organization is time consuming and expensive and will significantly increase our compensation expense. We may be unable to secure third-party distribution contracts with distributors on favorable terms or at all. We have no prior experience in the marketing, sale and distribution of diagnostic products or medical devices for companion animals and there are significant risks involved in building and managing a sales organization, including our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified individuals, generate sufficient sales leads, provide adequate training to sales and marketing personnel, and effectively oversee a geographically dispersed sales and marketing team. If we are unable to build an effective sales organization and/or if we are unable to secure relationships with third-party distributors for our products, we will not be able to successfully commercialize our products, our future product revenue will suffer and we would incur significant additional losses.

In jurisdictions outside of the United States we intend to utilize companies with an established commercial presence to market our products in those jurisdictions, but we may be unable to enter into such arrangements on acceptable terms, it at all.

If we fail to attract and keep senior management and key scientific personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop any of our existing or future product candidates, conduct our in-licensing and development efforts and commercialize any of our existing or future products.

Our success depends in part on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management and scientific personnel. We are highly dependent upon our senior management, particularly Robert Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, Ann Marie Cotter, our Chief Financial Officer, Stephanie Morley, DVM, our President and Chief Medical Officer, and Bruk Herbst, our Chief Commercial Officer. The loss of services of any of these individuals could delay or prevent the successful development of our existing or future product pipeline, completion of our planned development efforts or the commercialization of our product candidates. Although we have entered employment agreements with Mr. Cohen, Dr. Morley and Mr. Herbst for one-year terms (automatically extending for one-year terms thereafter) there can be no assurance that any of Mr. Cohen, Dr. Morley or Mr. Herbst will extend their terms of service.

Consolidation of our customers could negatively affect the pricing of our products.

Veterinarians will be our primary customers for our proposed and future products. In recent years, there has been a trend towards the consolidation of veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. If this trend continues, these large clinics and hospitals could attempt to leverage their buying power to obtain favorable pricing from us and other similar companies. Any resulting downward pressure on the prices of any of our products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We will need to increase the size of our organization and may not successfully manage our growth.

We will need to significantly expand our organization and systems to support our future expected growth. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we will not be successful, and our business could fail.

We may seek to raise additional funds in the future through debt financing which may impose operational restrictions on our business and may result in dilution to existing or future holders of our common shares.

We expect that we will need to raise additional capital in the future to help fund our business operations. Debt financing, if available, may require restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility and may restrict or prohibit us from:

Debt financing may also involve debt instruments that are convertible into or exercisable for our common shares. The conversion of the debt to equity financing may dilute the equity position of our existing shareholders.

We may not be able to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance on commercially reasonable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities in order to protect ourselves against product liability claims.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of diagnostic products and medical devices. We may become subject to product liability claims resulting from the use of our product candidates. We do not currently have product liability insurance and we may not be able to obtain or maintain this type of insurance for any future trials or product candidates. In addition, product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. Being unable to obtain or maintain product liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may acquire other businesses or form joint ventures that may be unsuccessful and could adversely dilute your ownership of our company.

As part of our business strategy, we may pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other complementary assets and businesses and may also pursue strategic alliances. We have no experience in acquiring other assets or businesses and have limited experience in forming such alliances. We may not be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions into our existing business, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities or become subject to possible stockholder claims in connection with any related-party or third-party acquisitions or other transactions. We also could experience adverse effects on our reported results of operations from acquisition-related charges, amortization of acquired technology and other intangibles and impairment charges relating to write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets from time to time following an acquisition. Integration of an acquired company requires management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our existing business. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, technology license or strategic alliance.

To finance future acquisitions, we may choose to issue our common shares as consideration, which would dilute your ownership interest in us. Alternatively, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.

Various government regulations could limit or delay our ability to develop and commercialize our products or otherwise negatively impact our business.

In the U.S., the manufacture and sale of certain diagnostic products are regulated by agencies such as the USDA, the FDA or the EPA. While our point-of-care Bulk Acoustic Wave sensor-based diagnostic platform and Raman spectroscopy-based diagnostic platform and our reference lab-based diagnostic test for canine cancer do not require approval by the USDA-CVB prior to sale in the U.S., these diagnostic solutions will be subject to postmarketing oversight by the FDA-CVM. In addition, delays in obtaining regulatory approvals for new products or product upgrades could have a negative impact on our growth and profitability.

The manufacture and sale of our products, as well as our research and development processes, are subject to similar and potentially more stringent laws in foreign countries.

We are also subject to a variety of federal, state, local and international laws and regulations that govern, among other things, the importation and exportation of products; our business practices in the U.S. and abroad, such as anti-corruption and anti-competition laws; and immigration and travel restrictions. These legal and regulatory requirements differ among jurisdictions around the world and are rapidly changing and increasingly complex. The costs associated with compliance with these legal and regulatory requirements are significant and likely to increase in the future.

Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements could result in fines, penalties and sanctions; product recalls; suspensions or discontinuations of, or limitations or restrictions on, our ability to design, manufacture, market, import, export or sell our products; and damage to our reputation.

Even if we receive regulatory approval for a product candidate, we will be subject to ongoing FDA-CVM or USDA-CVB obligations and continued regulatory oversight, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, any product candidates, if approved, will be subject to labeling and manufacturing requirements and could be subject to other restrictions. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements or the occurrence of unanticipated problems with our products could result in significant penalties.

If the FDA-CVM or USDA-CVB approves any of our existing or future diagnostic product candidates, the manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for the product will be subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. These requirements include post-marketing information and reports, establishment registration, and product listing, as well as continued compliance with GMP, Good Laboratory Practices (“GLP”) and Good Clinical Practices (“GCP”) for any studies that we conduct post-approval. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with our third-party manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in, among other things:

The FDA-CVM’s or USDA-CVB’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action in the United States or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which would adversely affect our business.

Legislative or regulatory reforms with respect to veterinary diagnostics, medical devices and test kits may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearance or approval of any of our existing or future product candidates and to produce, market, and distribute our products after clearance or approval is obtained.

From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in the U.S. Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the testing, regulatory clearance or approval, manufacture, and marketing of regulated and/or licensed products. In addition, FDA-CVM and USDA-CVB regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA-CVM and USDA-CVB in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. Similar changes in laws or regulations can occur in other countries. Any new regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations in the United States may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any of our existing or future product candidates. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require:

Each of these would likely entail substantial time and cost and could materially harm our financial results. In addition, delays in receipt of or failure to receive regulatory clearances or approvals for any future products would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our products is limited.

Some of our products may or may not be covered by a patent. Further if an application is filed, it is not certain that a patent will be granted or if granted whether it will be held to be valid. All of which may impact our market share and ability to prevent others (competitor third parties) from making, selling, or using our products.

We intend to rely upon a combination of patents, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements, and license agreements to protect the intellectual property related to our proposed and future products. We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property rights, including our unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, or in avoiding claims that we infringed on the intellectual property rights of others. In addition to relying on patent and trademark rights, we rely on unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, and employ various methods, including confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants, customers and suppliers to protect our know-how and trade secrets. However, these methods and our patents and trademarks may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop the know-how and trade secrets or develop better production methods than us. Further, we may not be able to deter current and former employees, contractors and other parties from breaching confidentiality agreements and misappropriating proprietary information and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our information and proprietary technology without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights. In the future, we may also rely on litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights and contractual rights, and, if not successful, we may not be able to protect the value of our intellectual property. Any litigation could be protracted and costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations regardless of its outcome.

If we are unable to obtain trademark registrations for our products our business could be adversely affected.

We have pending trademark applications for our company name and composite marks comprised of our company name, logo and/or slogan in the U.S., Canada, European Union, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. In addition, we have approved pending trademark applications for our “Voice of the Vet” mark in the U.S. and Canada. We have secured two registrations in the European Union for our company name, company name and logo, and for the mark “Voice of the Vet powered by Zomedica” (and Design). We also have secured registrations in Brazil for our company name and logo. While we cannot make assurances that any pending trademark applications will mature to registration, most of these applications are now poised to mature to registration.

We have also filed for protection of several product names in the U.S., Canada and European Union. Currently, no significant hurdles have been encountered in the registration process. Moreover, any name we propose to use with our product candidates in the United States must be approved by the FDA-CVM or the USDA-CVB if it is a regulated product. The FDA-CVM typically conducts a review of proposed product names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. If the FDA-CVM or the USDA-CVB object to any of our proposed proprietary product names, we may be required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable substitute name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, not infringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA-CVM and the USDA-CVB.

Third parties may have intellectual property rights, which may require us to obtain a license or other applicable rights to make, sell or use our products. If such rights are not granted or obtained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, or license from third parties, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and similar proprietary rights without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. Although we believe our intellectual property rights are sufficient to allow us to conduct our business without incurring liability to third parties, our products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of such persons. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that we will not be subject to claims asserting the infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties seeking damages, the payment of royalties or licensing fees and/or injunctions against the sale of our products. Any such litigation could be protracted and costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our diagnostic technologies depend on certain technologies that are licensed to us. We do not control these technologies and any loss of our rights to them could prevent us from marketing our diagnostic product candidates.

Our diagnostic technologies are dependent on intellectual property developed by our strategic partners and licensed to us. We do not own the intellectual property rights that underlie these licenses. Our rights to use the technology we license are subject to the negotiation of, continuation of and compliance with the terms of our licenses. We do not control the prosecution, maintenance or filing of the patents and other intellectual property licensed to us, or the enforcement of these intellectual property rights against third parties. The patents and patent applications underlying our licenses were not written by us or our attorneys, and we do not have control over the drafting and prosecution of such rights. Our partners might not have given the same attention to the drafting and prosecution of patents and patent applications as we would have if we had been the owners of the intellectual property rights and had control over such drafting and prosecution. We cannot be certain that drafting and/or prosecution of the licensed patents and patent applications has been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights.

Our intellectual property agreements with third parties may be subject to disagreements over contract interpretation, which could narrow the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology or increase our financial or other obligations to our licensors.

Certain provisions in our intellectual property agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could affect the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or affect financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, while it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who in fact conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. Our assignment agreements may not be self-executing or may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property.

We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties.

We have received confidential and proprietary information from third parties. In addition, we employ individuals who were previously employed at other pharmaceutical or animal health companies. We may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise improperly used or disclosed confidential information of these third parties or our employees’ former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against any such claims. Even if we are successful in defending against any such claims, such litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to our management and employees.

We will be obligated to pay a significant portion of our net sales to the holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares. This payment obligation will materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources, may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital, and could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

We are obligated to make annual payments to the holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares in an amount equal to nine percent of the net sales (as defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares), if any, of our company and our affiliates (the “Net Sales Returns ”) until such time as the holders have received total Net Sales Returns equal to nine times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. Such payments will materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources which could result in a shortage of capital necessary to fund our operations or to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. Our obligation to make these payments may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. This payment obligation also may adversely affect investor perceptions of our company which could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

In the event of a sale of our company, holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a substantial premium on the purchase price they paid for their Series 1 Preferred Shares, which will reduce the sale proceeds to be received by holders of our common shares.

In the event that our company is the subject of a “fundamental transaction” (defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares to include an amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our company in which our shareholders do not have the right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party) the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have the right, in preference to the holders of our common shares, to receive a portion of the aggregate consideration paid in the fundamental transaction that will represent a substantial premium on the purchase price they paid for their Series 1 Preferred Shares. Such premium will reduce the proceeds of any such fundamental transaction that would be received by holders of our common shares.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have a liquidation preference over holders of our common shares and if the net assets of our company available for distribution to holders of our equity securities is not sufficient to pay this liquidation preference in full, holders of our common shares would receive no liquidating distribution in respect of their common shares.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Returns (as defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares) paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares before holders of our common shares would be entitled to any proceeds of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the net assets of our company available for distribution to holders of our equity securities is not sufficient to pay this liquidation preference in full, holders of our common shares would receive no liquidating distribution in respect of their common shares.

The trading price of our common shares has recently increased significantly to a level that we do not believe is consistent with any recent change in our financial condition or results of operations. If the trading price of our common shares decreases rapidly, investors purchasing our common shares in this offering could lose a significant portion of their investment.

The trading price of our common shares has recently increased significantly. On December 31, 2020, the last reported sale price of our common shares on the NYSE American was $0.231 per share. We believe that the sharp increase in the trading price of our common shares is the result of a number of factors outside our control, including social media posts that have drawn attention to our company and increased trading in our common shares by retail investors. These social media posts were not sponsored or endorsed by us. There has been no recent change in our financial condition or results of operations that is consistent with the increase in the trading price of our common shares. The recent increase in the trading price of our common shares may not be sustained. In the event of a rapid decrease in the trading price of our common shares, investors purchasing our common shares in this offering could some a significant portion of their investment.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our company, or if they issue adverse or misleading opinions regarding us or our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

Although we have research coverage by securities and industry analysts, if coverage is not maintained, the market price for our stock may be adversely affected. Our stock price also may decline if any analyst who covers us issues an adverse or erroneous opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our product validations and operating results fail to meet analysts’ expectations. If one or more analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline and possibly adversely affect our ability to engage in future financings.

We expect that the price of our common shares will fluctuate substantially.

You should consider an investment in our common shares risky and invest only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. The price of our common shares that will prevail in the market after the sale of our common shares by a selling shareholder may be higher or lower than the price you have paid. Numerous factors, including many over which we have no control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common shares. These risks include those described or referred to in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report as well as, among other things:

In addition, the stock market, in general, or the market for stocks in our industry, in particular, may experience broad market fluctuations, which may adversely affect the market price or liquidity of our common shares. Any sudden decline in the market price of our common shares could trigger securities class-action lawsuits against us. If any of our shareholders were to bring such a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and the time and attention of our management would be diverted from our business and operations. We also could be subject to damages claims if we are found to be at fault in connection with a decline in our stock price.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS Act and if we take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies,” our common shares could be less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or SOX, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive if we choose to continue to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period, however, and, as a result, we are required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Our Articles of Amalgamation (as amended) authorize us to issue an unlimited number of common shares and preferred shares without shareholder approval and we may issue additional equity securities, or engage in other transactions that could dilute your ownership interest, which may adversely affect the market price of our common shares

Our Articles of Amalgamation (as amended) authorize our Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), or ABCA to issue an unlimited number of common shares and preferred shares without shareholder approval. Our Board of Directors may determine from time to time to raise additional capital by issuing common shares, preferred shares or other equity securities. We are not restricted from issuing additional securities, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common shares or preferred shares. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future offerings, or the prices at which such offerings may be affected. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our common shares, or both. Holders of our common shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights or other protections against dilution. New investors also may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to, and that adversely affect, the then-current holders of our common shares. Additionally, if we raise additional capital by making offerings of debt or preference shares, upon our liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred shares, and lenders with respect to other borrowings, may receive distributions of our available assets before the holders of our common shares.

We have incurred significant costs as a result of operating as a U.S. and Canadian public company, and our management will continue to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

As a U.S. and Canadian publicly traded company, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses and will incur additional expenses related to U.S. compliance after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act. In addition, new and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the JOBS Act, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities have created uncertainty for U.S. and Canadian public companies and increased our costs and time that our board of directors and management must devote to complying with these rules and regulations. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and lead to a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities.

The Company’s attempt in December 2020 to obtain shareholder approval for a domestication to the State of Delaware was unsuccessful. As a result, the Company will have to continue to comply with legal requirements applicable to a publicly traded company in both Canada and the U.S., resulting in additional legal and financial compliance costs and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other U.S. public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These exceptions provide for, but are not limited to, relief from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, less extensive disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We may remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. To the extent we are no longer eligible to use exemptions from various reporting requirements under the JOBS Act, we may be unable to realize our anticipated cost savings from those exemptions.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and share price.

As a Canadian public company, we are permitted to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of U.S. public companies required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404. We were required to meet these standards in the course of preparing our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and our management has reported on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for such year. Additionally, under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we are no longer an “emerging growth company”, and the Canadian requirements permit this relaxation of the strict requirements of Section 404. The rules governing the standards that must be met for our management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation.

In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving a favorable attestation in connection with the attestation provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. We will be unable to issue securities in the public markets through the use of a shelf registration statement if we are not in compliance with Section 404. Furthermore, failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on our business and share price and could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely.

If we sell common shares in future financings, shareholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our share price may decline.

We may from time to time issue additional common shares at a discount from the existing trading price of our common shares. As a result, our shareholders would experience immediate dilution upon the sale of any shares of our common shares at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred shares or common shares. If we issue common shares or securities convertible into common shares, our common shareholders would experience additional dilution and, as a result, our share price may decline.

Future sales of our common shares by our shareholders or the perception that these sales may occur could cause our stock price to decline.

As of February 26, 2021, we had 947,248,207 common shares outstanding. Substantially all of our outstanding common shares have been registered for resale or other disposition by the holders thereof or are otherwise freely tradable by the holders thereof.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares by our shareholders or the perception that these sales may occur, could depress the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities, even if there is no relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.

We have never and do not, in the future, intend to pay dividends on our common shares, and your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the market price of our common shares.

We have never paid and do not expect to pay dividends on our common shares in the future. We intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth and not to pay any cash dividends on our common shares. Since we do not intend to pay dividends, your ability to receive a return on your investment will depend on any future appreciation in the market price of our common shares. There is no assurance that our common shares will appreciate in price.

An active, liquid and orderly market for our common shares may not develop or be sustained, and you may not be able to sell your common shares.

Our common shares trade on the NYSE American exchange. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell the common shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling common shares and may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, applications or technologies using our common shares as consideration, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business.

We are subject to the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American. If we are unable to comply with such requirements, our common shares would be delisted from the NYSE American, which would limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our common shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common shares are currently listed on the NYSE American. In order to maintain our listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to these objective standards, the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer if, in its opinion, the issuer’s financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; if it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make continued listing on the NYSE American inadvisable; if the issuer sells or disposes of principal operating assets or ceases to be an operating company; if an issuer fails to comply with the NYSE American’s listing requirements; if an issuer’s common stock sells at what the NYSE American considers a “low selling price” (generally trading below $0.20 per share for an extended period of time); or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which makes continued listing on the NYSE American, in its opinion, inadvisable. Although the trading price of our common shares on the date of this report exceeded $0.20 per share, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the trading price of our common shares was well below $0.20 for a significant period of time. We received a deficiency letter from the NYSE American indicating that we were not in compliance with the listing requirements, because our common shares had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period time. Such deficiency was resolved in January 2021.

If the NYSE American delists our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our common shares would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

We may in future implement the reduction in the stated capital account applicable to our common shares that has been approved by shareholders, and if we do, there may be an adverse effect on holders of common shares or the Company in connection with certain transactions, unless we are able to add back some or all of the stated capital reduction to the stated capital account at that time.

At the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders held on September 25, 2020, the shareholders approved a special resolution under the ABCA authorizing the reduction of the stated capital account applicable to the common shares to US $1.00 in the aggregate without payment to the shareholders. The special resolution provided that the reduction would be effective upon the date determined by any director or officer of the Company. As of the date hereof, the reduction has yet to be implemented. However, it could be implemented in the future, and if it is implemented, the reduction is expected to apply to the entire stated capital account applicable to the common shares at that time, including stated capital referenceable to common shares issued after the date of the meeting where the special resolution was approved. As disclosed in the proxy circular prepared in connection with the annual and special meeting, the stated capital reduction is not expected to result in any immediate Canadian tax consequences to shareholders, and should not constitute a taxable event to shareholders under United States tax requirements. However, the reduction in stated capital could have future Canadian federal income tax consequences to shareholders or the Company, in connection with certain transactions, including a repurchase of the common shares by the Company or certain reorganization transactions. The Company currently intends that, if the stated capital reduction is implemented, the amount of the reduction will be added back to the stated capital account (or the portion thereof that is permitted to be added back under Canadian federal income tax legislation will be so added) in the future in accordance with procedures contained in the ABCA. Such add back would be intended to be effected prior to implementation of any transaction where the previous reduction of stated capital could have an adverse impact on shareholders or the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effect the add back, or that the amount added back will avoid any adverse tax consequences to shareholders or the Company.

Our common shares commenced trading on the NYSE American on November 21, 2017 under the symbol “ZOM”.

As of February 26, 2021, there were 947,298,207 common shares outstanding held of record by approximately 200 holders.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and forward-looking information under applicable Canadian securities law requirements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under the “Part I – Item 1A Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as, in other reports and documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our strategic focus is on the final development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® diagnostic biosensor platform and the first five assays for the detection of adrenal and thyroid disorders in cats and dogs. The TRUFORMA® platform uses Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology to provide a non-optical and fluorescence free detection system for use at the point-of-care. We believe that BAW technology will enable precise and repeatable test results at the point-of-care during a typical veterinary appointment. We believe that the TRUFORMA® diagnostic platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United States. We intend to launch our TRUFORMA® platform and our first three assays on or about March 30, 2021.

Following the commercial launch of TRUFORMA®, we expect to continue the development of another point-of-care diagnostic platform, which is based on miniaturized laser-based Raman spectroscopy technology and is designed to detect pathogens in companion animals. We believe this platform will enable the identification of biological and biochemical signatures in complex biological samples and has the potential to achieve reference lab sensitivity/specificity to screen for a wide range of pathogens in companion animal feces, urine, respiratory, and dermatological samples in minutes without the need for extensive sample prep or the use of reagents. The diagnostic platform requires a small fecal sample preparation. Additionally, the platform has automated analysis and does not require specialized staff training. We believe that this diagnostic platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United States.

We have performed initial development work on a circulating tumor cell (CTC) “liquid biopsy” platform for use in a reference lab setting as a canine cancer diagnostic. This platform is intended for use to detect canine cancers faster, more affordably and less invasively compared to existing methods, which can be expensive and cost-prohibitive for pet owners. We have worked on the development of an assay for use with this platform that targets hard-to-diagnose canine cancers, such as hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma.

Through the year ended December 31, 2020, we were a development-stage company with no commercialized products, and we did not generate any revenue from product sales. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of approximately $16.9 million and $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with investigating and developing our product candidates, research and development activities, and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $69.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $62.0 million.

For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to incur losses, which will increase from historical levels as we commence the commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform, expand our product development activities, and expand our sales and marketing activities.

For further information on the regulatory, business and product pipeline, please see the “Business” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further information on the risk factors, please see the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Through the year ended December 31, 2020, we were a development-stage company with no commercialized products, and we did not generate any revenue from product sales. We intend to launch our TRUFORMA® platform and our first three assays on or about March 30, 2021.

The majority of our operating expenses to date have been for the general and administrative activities related to general business activities, capital market activities and stock-based compensation, and research and development activities related to our lead product candidates. With the commercial launch of our TRUFORMA® platform, we expect to incur cost of goods sold expenses.

All costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel, fees paid to consultants, outside service providers, professional services, travel costs and materials used in clinical trials and research and development.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, related benefits and stock-based compensation for employees, consultants and directors. General and administrative expenses also include rent and other facilities costs and other general business services.

Professional fees include attorney’s fees, accounting and tax fees and consulting fees incurred in connection with product investigation and analysis, regulatory analysis, government relations, audit, securities offerings, investor relations, and general corporate and intellectual property advice.

As of December 31, 2020, we had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $19.6 million and non-capital loss carryforwards for Canada of approximately $27.8 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2035. We have evaluated the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and non-capital loss carryforwards. We concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document, we believe that the estimates and assumptions involved in the following accounting policies may have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the JOBS Act provision that an emerging growth company may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such times as those standards apply to private companies.

In addition, as an “emerging growth company” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis). These exemptions will apply until December 31, 2022 or until we no longer meet the requirements of being an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives of property and equipment, allocation of proceeds from financings to shares and warrants fair value of warrants and placement agent warrants.

Research and development expenses comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, safety and efficacy studies, contract manufacturing costs, contract research costs, patent procurement costs, materials and supplies and occupancy costs. Research and development activities include internal and external activities associated with research and development studies of current product candidates and advancing product candidates towards commercialization.

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

The functional currency, as determined by management, is U.S. dollars, which is also our reporting currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the monetary value of assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are measured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

We measure the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by us cannot be reliably estimated.

We calculate stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of our stock-based compensation plans do not require us to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore we classify the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Volatility is determined based on volatilities of comparable companies when the Company does not have its own trading history. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on an average of the term of the options. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the Canadian treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield percentage at the date of grant is Nil as we are not expected to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Basic loss per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants to purchase our common shares issued during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

We follow ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. We currently have no other comprehensive loss items.

Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

We did not generate any revenue during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $8.0 million, compared to approximately $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $2.3 million or 22%. The decrease primarily was due to a reduction in general research and development activity as we focused on TRUFORMA® activities, and is more specifically related to lower milestone expenses, contracted expenditures, salaries, bonus and benefits, supplies, and consulting fees as compared to the 2019 year.

General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $6.0 million, compared to approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million or 15%. The decrease was due to a decrease in salaries, bonus and benefits of approximately $1.3 million primarily resulting from a reduction in stock compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million compared to the 2019 year, along with a general reduction in salaries for marketing and other administrative personnel of approximately $0.4 million. Other decreases include a reduction of travel and accommodation expense of approximately $0.4 million and marketing and investor relations expense of approximately $0.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in regulatory fees of approximately $0.3 million, rent expense of approximately $0.3 million, related to the reclassification of right-of-use asset expense from amortization to rent, office expense of approximately $0.2 million associated with the expensing of office furniture in the first quarter of 2020 and insurance expense of approximately $0.1 million. Due to stock option grants on December 31, 2020 we anticipate an increase in expenses related to salaries, bonus and benefits in future periods.

Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2020 were approximately $2.2 million, compared to approximately $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $0.5 million or 30%. The increase primarily was due to increased expenses in costs associated with our two shareholder meetings held in 2020 as well as our 2020 offering activity as described below.

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $16.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of approximately $19.8 million, or $0.19 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $2.9 million or 15%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the matters described above. We expect to continue to record net losses in future periods until such time as we have sufficient revenue from product sales to offset our operating expenses.

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods set forth below:

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $16.2 million, compared to approximately $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $0.6 million or 4%. The increase primarily resulted from an increased use of operating cash including decreasing accounts payable by approximately $0.9 million and increasing deposits and prepaid expenses for inventory, insurance, and property tax paid by $0.8 million, partially offset by a lower net loss in 2020 and an increase in non-cash expenses including stock based compensation of approximately $1.7 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.5 million and loss on asset disposition of approximately $0.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $76.7 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $61.8 million or 415%. The increase in cash from financing activities resulted from approximately $56.5 million in proceeds from two equity offerings of common shares and warrants, net of financing costs of approximately $5.1 million, approximately $24.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants, and approximately $0.5 million in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans.

Net cash from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $1.0 million, compared to net cash used of approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $1.7 million, or 246%. The increase in net cash from investing activities during the current year 2020 related primarily to approximately $1.0 million of cash received in connection with the cancellation and buyout of our office lease compared to the prior period in which approximately $0.7 million was used in association with our digital data platform, the construction of marketing assets, and the capitalization of integration costs associated with the implementation of an ERP system.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and have not generated any revenue since our inception in May 2015. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $69.0 million. We have funded our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of our common shares and the exercise of stock options and warrants. At December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $62.0 million.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $62.0 million, prepaid expenses and deposits of approximately $1.7 million, and tax credits receivable of approximately $0.1 million. Current assets amounted to approximately $62.9 million with current liabilities of approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately $60.9 million.

Subsequent to December 31, 2020, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,248,821 common shares were exercised, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $32.0 million. We also completed an underwritten public offering of 105,013,158 common shares, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $185.4 million. After giving effect to these transactions, as of February 26, 2021, we had cash of approximately $277.5 million and 947,298,207 common shares issued and outstanding.

In the second quarter of 2019, we sold $12,000,000 of our Series 1 Preferred Shares to an accredited investor in a private placement at a purchase price of $1,000,000 per Series 1 Preferred Share. Each Series 1 Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000,000. The Series 1 Preferred Shares do not have voting rights except to the extent required by applicable law and are not convertible into the Company’s common shares. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to dividends but, in lieu thereof, will receive Net Sales Returns (“Net Sales Returns” is defined as annual payments equal to 9 percent of net sales) until such time as the holders have received total Net Sales Returns equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. We will have the right to redeem the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time at a redemption price equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares outstanding less the aggregate amount of the Net Sales Returns paid (the “Redemption Amount”). Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Returns paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares. In the event of a fundamental transaction (defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares to include an amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our Company in which our shareholders do not have the right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party), the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive consideration for their Series 1 Preferred Shares equal to a multiple of the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on the timing of the fundamental transaction, subject to a cap equal to the Redemption Amount.

In December 2018, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. under which we may sell pursuant to the universal shelf registration statement common shares in the United States only, from time to time, for up to $50.0 million and was amended on March 25, 2019 to $10.0 million in aggregate sales proceeds in "at the market" transactions. No sales of common shares were made under the sales agreement in the second and third quarters, and the program was inactive at December 31, 2020.

On October 17, 2017 we entered into a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital facility with Equidebt LLC, one of our shareholders (the “Equidebt Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility become due and payable on October 17, 2022. We can make two borrowings per month under the Equidebt Facility, each of which must be for a minimum of $250,000. No amounts were outstanding under the Equidebt Facility at December 31, 2020.

We believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our expected working capital needs through December 2023. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict operations. In the event that we are unable to obtain sufficient capital to meet our working capital requirements, we may be required to change or curtail current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated. In such an event, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities and may have to terminate or delay safety and efficacy studies, curtail our product development programs, or sell or assign rights to our product candidates, products and technologies.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

Since inception, we have not engaged in the use of any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as structured finance entities, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

The only class of outstanding voting equity securities of the Company are the common shares. As of February 26, 2021:

Our financial statements, together with the independent registered public accounting firm report thereon, are incorporated by reference from the applicable information set forth in Part IV Item 15, “Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm because we are an “emerging growth company,” and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. From time to time, we make changes to our internal control over financial reporting that are intended to enhance its effectiveness, and which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control over financial reporting.

At our 2020 annual shareholders’ meeting, six directors were elected. Our bylaws provide that our directors will hold office until the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election. Our Board of Directors is responsible for the business and affairs of our company and considers various matters that require its approval.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of directors who are “independent” (as discussed below), and the Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We have adopted charters for our each of these committees and a code of ethics and business conduct, or Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.zomedica.com. The committee charters are also available for review on our website.

Under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), (“ABCA”), at least 25% of our directors must be “resident Canadians” as defined in the ABCA. At present, Messrs MacLeod and Wolfenberg meet this requirement.

Our Board of Directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Messrs. Cohen and Wolfenberg are “independent,” as defined under the NYSE American. For purposes of the NYSE American rules, an independent director means a person other than an executive officer or employee of our company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, subject to certain additional limitations. Such directors are also deemed to be “independent” under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Our Board of Directors has adopted the Code of Ethics, which applies to all officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.zomedica.com, as well as our SECAR profile at www.SEAR.com.Information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute part of this Form 10-K. We intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in our filings under the Exchange Act.

Our Board of Directors has three standing committees: The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All of our committee members are “independent,” as defined under the NYSE American rules and for purposes of Canadian securities laws. Dr. Powers’ consulting agreement to serve as a Strategic Advisor terminated in April of 2020, and he acquired “independent” status at that time.

Our Audit Committee is currently comprised of four members, Mr. Rowe (Chairman), Mr. Williams, Mr. MacLeod and Dr. Powers. Each member of our Audit Committee is a non-employee member of our Board of Directors. We have designated Mr. Rowe as our “Audit Committee financial expert,” as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K. All of the members of our Audit Committee are “independent” members of our Board of Directors, as required by the NYSE American rules and Canadian securities laws.

The purpose of our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is to oversee (i) the integrity of our company’s financial statements, our company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and financial statement audits; (ii) our company’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) our company’s systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; (iv) the independent auditor’s engagement, qualifications, performance, compensation and independence; (v) review of related party transactions; and (vi) compliance with the company’s corporate policies. The Audit Committee’s function is one of oversight, whereas the planning and conduct of the audit is the responsibility of the independent auditor, and the financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.

Each member of the Audit Committee has experience reviewing financial statements and dealing with related accounting and auditing issues and is “financially literate” within the meaning of applicable securities laws.

The Audit Committee has the sole authority to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of four members, Mr. Rowe (Chairman), Mr. Williams, Mr. MacLeod and Dr. Powers. All of the members of our compensation committee are “independent”, as defined under the NYSE American rules and for purposes of Canadian securities laws.

The purpose of our Compensation Committee is to (i) make recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to evaluation and compensation of our executives, (ii) oversee incentive, equity-based and other compensatory plans in which executive officers and key employees of our company participate, (iii) review and participate in determining director compensation and (iv) prepare any report on executive compensation required by the rules and regulations of the Commission and the listing standards of NYSE American.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of four members, Mr. Williams (Chairman), Mr. Macleod, Mr. Rowe and Dr. Powers. All of the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are “independent” as defined under the NYSE American rules and for the purposes of Canadian securities laws..

The purpose of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is to carry out the responsibilities delegated by the Board of Directors relating to our director nominations process, developing and maintaining our company’s corporate governance policies, and any related matters required by the federal securities laws or by the applicable listing rules of the NYSE American.

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that it is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders to separate these roles at this time. Mr. Cohen currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Rowe serves as Chairman of our Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our general risk management strategy, and us and also ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe that this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing us and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

The following table shows the compensation for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 awarded to or earned by our principal executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2020.

In connection with Mr. Cohen’s appointment to Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2021, we entered into an employment agreement pursuant which we have agreed to pay Mr. Cohen a base salary of $417,200 per year. Mr. Cohen will be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus of up to $200,000 each fiscal year based on the achievement of certain performance and financial objectives for such fiscal year established by the Board. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Cohen’s bonus for fiscal year 2021 will be based 50% on achievement of the year-end cash target and 50% on achievement of the year-end revenue target, both as established by the Board for all potential bonus recipients. For 2021, the revenue portion will be calculated as follows: (a) below 75% achievement - no bonus for this segment; (b) between 75% and 89.9999% achievement - that percentage applies to the bonus target for this segment; (c) between 90% and 100% achievement - 100% of the bonus target for this segment; (d) between 100% and 125% achievement - that percentage applies to the bonus target for this segment; and, (e) above 125% achievement - 125% of the bonus target for this segment. The cash portion will be calculated as follows: (a) below 100% achievement - no bonus for this segment; and, (b) between 100% and 125% achievement - that percentage applies to the bonus target for this segment. The bonus, if any, will be payable within sixty (60) days following the end of each fiscal year. If Mr. Cohen serves for less than a full fiscal year, other than as a result of a termination for “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Cohen will be eligible to receive a pro rata portion of the bonus, if any, for such fiscal year. Mr. Cohen will also be eligible to participate in the Corporation’s employee benefit plans, including health and 401(k) plans. He will also be entitled to the reimbursement of reasonable business expenses. In the employment agreement, Mr. Cohen has agreed to customary confidentiality, non-competition and intellectual property covenants. The employment agreement has initial term of one year and automatically extends for one-year terms unless either party elects to terminate it. Upon the termination of the employment agreement, unless Mr. Cohen’s employment is terminated for “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement), the Corporation and Mr. Cohen will enter into a transitional consulting agreement for a term not ending sooner than January 1, 2023 and containing such other terms and conditions as the parties may agree.

In connection with her appointment as President in August 2019, Dr. Morley entered into a new employment agreement with us, which has an initial term of three years and automatically extends for one-year terms unless either party elects to terminate it. Under the agreement, Dr Morley will receive an annual base salary of $225,000, subject to annual review and will be entitled to quarterly cash bonuses upon the achievement of certain specified objectives established by the Board. Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Morley will receive a $2,000 monthly allowance in respect of the following items: (i) vehicle and (ii) tax preparation. Dr. Morley is entitled to four weeks paid vacation time. Pursuant to the agreement, any options granted to Dr. Morley will be subject to accelerated vesting in the event that Dr. Morley’s employment is terminated by us without cause. On December 23, 2020, Dr. Morley’s employment agreement was amended effective January 1, 2021. Among other things, the amendment (i) confirms the change in Dr. Morley’s title to President and Chief Medical Officer, effective as of August 17, 2020, (ii) provides that, in lieu of a quarterly bonus, Dr. Morley will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus of $60,000 upon the achievement of certain objectives to be established by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the beginning of each calendar year, and a pro rata portion of that bonus if her employment is subject to a Termination Without Cause (as defined in her agreement) on or after July 1, (iii) removes the obligation of the Company to provide Dr. Morley with an annual grant of options to acquire 500,000 common shares, and (iv) makes certain other conforming changes to reflect the foregoing. Except as described above, the terms of Dr. Morley’s executive employment agreement remain in full force and effect. The agreement also includes customary non-solicitation, confidentiality and assignment of inventions provisions. In the event that Dr. Morley has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Dr. Morley would have the right to exercise all of her options, and we would be required to pay her a lump sum equal to 12 months of her base salary and any quarterly bonus allocable or payable prior to the date of termination.

In July 2017, we entered into a written employment agreement with Mr. Herbst pursuant to which Mr. Herbst serves as our Chief Commercial Officer. Under the agreement, Mr. Herbst receives an annual base salary of $150,000, subject to annual review and will be entitled to quarterly cash bonuses upon the achievement of certain specified objectives established by the Board. Mr. Herbst also receives a $4,000 monthly allowance in respect of the following items: (i) vehicle and (ii) tax preparation. Mr. Herbst is entitled to three weeks paid vacation time. Pursuant to the agreement, any options granted to Mr. Herbst will be subject to accelerated vesting in the event that Mr. Herbst’s employment is terminated by us without cause. On December 23, 2020, Mr. Herbst’s employment agreement was amended effective January 1, 2021. Among other things, the amendment (i) provides that, in lieu of a quarterly bonus, Mr. Herbst will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus of $60,000 upon the achievement of certain objectives to be established by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the beginning of each calendar year, and a pro rata portion of that bonus if his employment is subject to a Termination Without Cause (as defined in his agreement) on or after July 1, and (ii) makes certain other conforming changes to reflect the foregoing. Mr. Herbst’s executive employment agreement was previously amended on November 19, 2020 to increase his base salary to $225,000 and to remove his entitlement to a monthly allowance of $4,000, all effective January 1, 2021. The agreement also includes customary non-solicitation, confidentiality and assignment of inventions provisions. In the event that Mr. Herbst has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Mr. Herbst would have the right to exercise all of his options, and we would be required to pay him a lump sum equal to 12 months of his base salary and any quarterly bonus allocable or payable prior to the date of termination.

The following table sets forth certain information, on an award-by-award basis, concerning outstanding equity awards for each named executive officer as of December 31, 2020:

The following table provides information, as of December 31, 2020, with respect to all compensation arrangements maintained by us, including individual compensation arrangements, under which shares are authorized for issuance.

As of December 31, 2015, Zomedica Corp (formerly, Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc.), had a shareholder-approved option plan, or the WOW Plan, pursuant to which options to purchase 200,000 common shares were outstanding. The terms of the WOW Plan were substantially similar to those of our current Stock Option Plan. In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, these options were consolidated into options to purchase 80,000 common shares of Zomedica Corp. and fully exercised and the WOW Plan was terminated.

In April 2016, concurrent with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, we adopted a new equity stock option plan, the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan was approved by our shareholders. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain employees, consultants, officers and directors to our company and to motivate them to advance the interests of our company by affording them with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire an equity interest in our company and benefit from its growth. The Stock Option Plan was amended and restated twice in 2020, most recently on June 16, 2020.

Administration. The Stock Option Plan is administered by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may grant options to purchase shares of our common shares or such other shares as may substitute therefore in the capital of Zomedica Corp. Our Board of Directors also has authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award, subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan, and amend the terms of awards (provided that no amendment may materially prejudice the rights of a participant without consent such participant’s consent). Our Board of Directors may delegate authority to a committee of our directors or to an officer. Our board or directors may terminate the Stock Option Plan, provided that consent of participants is required if termination materially prejudices the rights of participants

Eligibility. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Stock Option Plan include any person who is an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or a subsidiary thereof, provided that any consultant has performed and/or continues to perform services for our company or its subsidiaries under a written agreement and on an ongoing basis or is expected to provide a service to our company or its subsidiaries.

Shares Subject to the Stock Option Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common shares available for issuance in connection with options and awards granted under the Stock Option Plan is ten percent of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares calculated on a non-diluted basis. If any award of options granted under the Stock Option Plan expires or terminates without having been fully exercised, that number of common shares shall become available for the purpose of future grants under the Stock Option Plan.

Terms and Conditions of Options. Our Board of Directors will determine the exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of stock options may not be less than that from time to time permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed. In addition, the exercise price of an option must be paid in cash.

The number of common shares subject to each option shall be determined by our Board of Directors with the following limitations. The number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one individual, consultant, person conducting investor relations or insiders (as a group) (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)) in a 12-month period may not exceed 5%, 2%, 2% and 10%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant.

No option may be exercisable for more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as our Board of Directors prescribes at the time of grant, with the Board of Directors having the right to amend or accelerate vesting, subject to applicable regulatory approvals. Options shall only be exercised by the participant as long as the optionee remains or was within the last ninety days an employee, officer, director or consultant, or if an optionee is engaged in investor relations activities within 30 days of being so engaged by our company. If the optionee dies, option shall only be exercised within one year of the optionee's death.

All benefits, rights and options accruing under the Stock Option Plan are non-transferrable and non-assignable, except as provided in the Stock Option Plan. During the lifetime of a participant, any options granted under the Stock Option Plan may only be exercised by the participant and in the event of the death of a participant, by the person or persons to whom the participant's rights under the option pass by the participant's will or applicable law.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions. In the event of a sale by our company of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of our company, each participant shall be entitled to exercise, in whole or in part, the options granted to such participant under the Stock Option Plan, either during the term of the option or within ninety days after the date of the sale or change of control, whichever first occurs. However, with respect to performance vesting options that may be granted in the future, our Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether the accelerated vesting provisions of the Stock Option Plan apply to such options, and may provide in the grant agreement for alternative provisions.

We have not established a formal compensation policy for our outside directors. Set forth below is information concerning the compensation of directors, other than directors who are our employees, paid during the year ended December 31, 2020:

On March 14, 2020, we granted the following options to our non-employee directors:

Mr. Rowe, Mr. Williams and Dr. Powers’ options have an exercise price $0.19 per common share, 25% vested upon grant and 25% vest annually for the next 3 years and expire five years from the date of grant.

On July 9, 2020, we granted Mr. MacLeod an option to acquire 175,000 common shares. This option grant was made in connection with his appointment to the Board. Mr. MacLeod’s options have an exercise price $0.18 per common share, 25% vested upon grant and 25% vest annually for the next 3 years and expire five years from the date of grant.

The table below summarizes the compensation we paid to our non-employee directors in 2020.

Our consulting agreement with Dr. Powers whereby he acted as Strategic Advisor lapsed on April 30, 2020. During 2020, Mr. Powers was paid consulting fees of $9,548.

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our securities as of February 26, 2021 by:

The number of shares beneficially owned by each shareholder is determined in accordance with SEC rules. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 947,298,207 common shares outstanding on February 26, 2021. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, common shares subject to stock options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently convertible or exercisable or will become convertible or exercisable within 60 days of February 26, 2021 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise stated, the address of each 5% or greater beneficial holder is c/o Zomedica Corp., 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 125, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. We believe, based on information provided to us that each of the shareholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the shareholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

⁽¹⁾ Includes 11,120,000 common shares held in the Rowe Family GST Trust, 664,480 common shares held by the Jeffrey M. Rowe U/T/A dated November 5, 2004 (the “Jeffrey M. Rowe Living Trust”) and 181,000 common shares held by Mr. Rowe through his IRA. Mr. Rowe’s sister, Michele Ramo, serves as trustee to the Rowe Family GST Trust with Mr. Rowe’s oversight. Mr. Rowe has disclaimed all beneficial ownership of the common shares held in the Rowe Family GST Trust except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. Mr. Rowe serves as trustee to the Jeffrey M. Rowe Living Trust and exclusively makes all investment decisions on behalf of this trust. Mr. Rowe also has options to purchase 125,000 common shares.

⁽³⁾ Includes options to purchase 950,000 common shares, 641,685 common shares held by The Dr. Stephanie Morley Revocable Living Trust and 5,000 common shares held by Dr. Morley’s children

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 by MNP LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Fees consist of fees for professional services and expenses relating to the audit of our annual financial statements, the audit of our internal control over financial reporting and the review of our quarterly financial information.

Audit Related Fees consist of fees for professional services and expenses reasonably relating to the audit of our annual financial statements or the review of our quarterly financial information and are not reported as Audit Fees.

Tax Fees are for tax-related services related primarily to tax consulting and tax planning.

All Other Fees consist of fees for products and services which are not included in the previous three categories. These services include review of financial data included in our registrations filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and review of certain information in connection with our 2018 private placements.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services and any non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm is permitted to render under Section 10A(h) of the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of MNP LLP and has concluded that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors. All such services were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act to the extent that rule was applicable.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the registrant and in the capacities and on the dates indicated.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zomedica Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its consolidated operations and comprehensive loss and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Significant accounting policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Stated in United States dollars)

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation, the useful lives of property and equipment, allocation of proceeds from financings to shares and warrants, and fair value of placement agent warrants.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted.

Functional and reporting currencies

The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency, as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and cash held in trust related to share issuances. The cash held in trust is readily available to the Company and is classified as current.

The financial risks associated with these instruments are minimal and the Company has not experienced any losses from investments in these securities.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Maintenance and repair expenditures that do not improve or extend the life are expensed in the period incurred.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each year, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Estimated useful lives for the principal asset categories are as follows:

Computer equipment (years)		3
Furniture and equipment (years)	5	-	7
Laboratory equipment (years)	5	-	7
Leasehold improvements		Over shorter of estimated useful life and lease term

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, impairment is recognized when the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is

less than its carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

Research and development

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

Share issue costs

Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock.

Translation of foreign currencies

In respect of transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are measured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-based compensation

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated.

The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of the Company's stock-based compensation plans do not require the Company to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore the Company classifies the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options is excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Stated in United States dollars)

Significant accounting policies (continued)

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options to purchase common shares of the Company during fiscal 2020 and 2019 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company has incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive loss

The Company follows ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. The Company has no other comprehensive loss items.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Fair value measurement

Under ASC topic 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). ASC topic 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. There are three levels to the hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs, as follows:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), on a tax jurisdictional basis. The Company files income tax returns in Canada and the province of Alberta and its subsidiary files income tax returns in the United States and various states, including the headquarters in Michigan.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of an uncertain tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in jurisdictions such as the United States and Canada. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under ASC 740.

Segmented reporting

The Company currently operates as a single segment. Its principal business relates to the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative pharmaceuticals for the companion pet.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Critical areas of estimation and judgements in applying accounting policies include the following:

Stock-based payments

The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such as options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such as expected term to maturity, volatility and dividends.

Useful lives of property and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment with definite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or extended due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was not required to adjust the useful lives of any assets based on the factors described above. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

The impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring this virus a global pandemic in March 2020. Governments around the world have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing. The closure of businesses has caused material disruption to businesses resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have responded with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize the financial markets. A critical estimate for the Company is to assess the impact of the pandemic on the recoverability of long-lived assets as well as the availability of future financing in assessing the going concern assumption.

Accounting for preferred shares

The Company analyzes preferred shares upon issuance for any conditions or clauses that require derivative classification and bifurcation in accordance with U.S GAAP. The Company also considers any change of control clauses within the agreement and whether they are in the control of management and the Company in order to conclude on equity classification or mezzanine equity classification. This analysis requires significant judgement.

Accounting for equity placements

The Company values warrants issued in equity placements using the Black Scholes model in order to allocate the fair value of the proceeds from equity financings using a relative fair value approach. Similar to other stock-based compensation, management uses judgment to determine the inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing model including the expected life, and underlying share price volatility. Changes in these assumptions will impact the calculation of fair value and the value attributed to the warrants.

Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. The Company was party to two lease agreements with Wickfield Phoenix LLC, under which it rented office and laboratory space. The rent for both leases was prepaid upon inception, and, therefore, at January 1, 2019, the Company reclassified its prepaid lease balance of $1,613,039 to a right-of-use asset. The Company recorded $42,448 and $509,381 of amortization on the right-of-use asset for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

On February 1, 2020 the Company cancelled its existing leases with Wickfield Phoenix LLC and entered into a new lease. The new lease period is for 60 months, commencing on February 1, 2020 and ending on January 31, 2025 with a monthly rent payment of $32,452, escalating to $36,525 over the lease period. Upon cancellation of the existing lease, the Company received a refund of prepaid rent in the amount of $1,002,113. The carrying value of the right-of-use asset was $1,061,210 upon cancellation. In February 2020, the Company recorded a loss on the right-of-use asset of $59,097 in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On February 1, 2020, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability in the amount of $1,553,611 using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 12%. During the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $379,041 and nil in rent expense with $83,425 and nil recorded in research and development expenses and $295,616 and nil recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company also recorded $4,331 and $32,473 in rent expense related to month to month leases with the entirety in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Preferred stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 20 shares of our Series 1 Preferred Shares, all without par value, and each having a stated value of $1,000,000. The Series 1 Preferred Shares do not have voting rights except to the extent required by applicable law and are not convertible into the Company’s common shares. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to dividends but, in lieu thereof, will receive Net Sales Returns (“Net Sales Returns” is defined as annual payments equal to 9 percent of net sales) until such time as the holders have received total Net Sales Returns equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. The Company will have the right to redeem the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time at a redemption price equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares outstanding less the aggregate amount of the Net Sales Returns paid (the “Redemption Amount”).

Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Returns paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares.

In the event of a fundamental transaction (defined to include an amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our company in which our shareholders do not have the right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party), the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive consideration for their Series 1 Preferred Shares equal to a multiple of the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on the timing of the fundamental transaction, subject to a cap equal to the redemption amount.

Due to financings completed during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has reclassified the preferred stock from equity into mezzanine equity because a fundamental transaction would not be under the sole control of management and the Company.

Commitments and contingencies (continued)

On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a Development, Commercialization and Exclusive Distribution Agreement. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to make the following future milestone payments:

•

1^st payment: $3,500,000 in cash payment upon the achievement of future development milestones.

•

2^nd payment: $3,500,000 in equity based on the number of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the amount due by the VWAP of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American exchange over the 10 trading days prior to the achievement of the milestone event.

As of December 31, 2020, neither of the future development milestones related to the above agreement has been met.

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and us (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”) which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing our TRUFORMA^® diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. Heska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the Defendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. The Company believes that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

16.	Financial instruments

(a)

Fair values

The Company follows ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refers broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(b)

Interest rate and credit risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, relative to interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, due to the short-term nature of these balances.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the carrying value of its cash. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions.

(c)

Foreign exchange risk

The Company has balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange (“FX”) risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to an FX loss while a weakening U.S. dollar will lead to an FX gain. For each Canadian dollar balance of $1.0 million, a +/- 10% movement in the Canadian currency held by the Company versus the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by $0.1 million.

(d)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Company closely monitors its forecasted cash requirements with expected cash drawdown.
