SALONA GLOBAL MEDICAL DEVICE CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020
(In Canadian Dollars)

1. Description of the business

Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (formerly known as Brattle Street Investment Corp.) ("we," "us," "our," "Salona," or the "Company"), is a publicly traded company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange" or "TSXV"). The Company is an acquisition oriented, US-based and revenue generating medical technology company. The Company aims to leverage the liquid Canadian capital markets to acquire small to midsize US and internationally based medical device products and companies with the goal of expanding sales and improving operations. The Company's aim is to create a large, broad-based medical device company with global reach.

The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on September 17, 2013. The common shares in the capital of the Company ("common shares") trade on the Exchange under the symbol "SGMD". The Company's registered office is Suite 200E - 1515A Bayview Avenue, East York, Ontario.

On September 30, 2021 the Company closed on an acquisition of Simbex, LLC ("Simbex")

On May 21, 2021, the Company closed on an acquisition of South Dakota Partners Inc. ("SDP").

On December 21, 2020, Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of 7.37 post-consolidation common shares for 10 pre-consolidation common shares (the "Consolidation"). These shares were retroactively restated on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.

The Company's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company's operations and ability to finance its operations.

2. Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form S-1 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. The results of operations for the three and six months ended August 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending February 28, 2022.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020
(In Canadian Dollars)
 
Functional and presentation currency
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, and the functional currency of its subsidiaries Inspira Financial Company, Inspira SaaS Billing Services and South Dakota Partners Inc. is US dollars.
 
3. Significant accounting policies

a) Basis of consolidation

These statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, namely, South Dakota Partners Inc. ("SDP"), Inspira Financial Company ("IFC"), 1077863 B.C., Ltd ("1077863"), and Inspira SAAS Billing Inc. ("IFS") in the United States. The Company owns 100% of its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

b) Basis of measurement

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an historical cost basis except marketable securities which are carried at fair value.

c) Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. This applies to useful lives of non-current assets, impairment of non-current assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for inventory and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

d) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. As at August 31, 2021, the Company has one segment, healthcare operations, which includes production and sale of medical devices to businesses in the United States as well as the collection of outstanding loans. Assets, liabilities, revenues and expense from these segments are disclosed in the balance sheets and statement of income and comprehensive income.

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization, low risk of counterparty default and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:               

Level 1 -

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 -

Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 -

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 
Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between the levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the years presented.   
 
As of August 31, 2021, and February 28, 2021, respectively, the Company did not identify any financial assets and liabilities other than the marketable securities, contingent liabilities and assets resulting from the SDP acquisition that would be required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.  

f) Revenue recognition   

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The principles in ASC 606 are applied using the following five steps:   

(i) Identify the contract with a customer;   

(ii) Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract;   

(iii) Determine the transaction price;   

(iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and   

(v) Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized at a point-in-time upon transfer of control of goods or services to customers, which is generally upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms set forth in the customer contract, at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services.   
 
Revenue comprises of goods and services provided to the Company's contracted customers.   

Provisions for discounts, returns and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related sales are recorded.   

The Company has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The Company typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for as warranty provisions, if any. 

g) Inventories

Inventories comprises of raw-material, work-in-progress and finished goods, which consist principally of electrodes, electronic components, subassemblies, steel, hardware, and fasteners and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and include direct labor, materials, and other related costs. The Company periodically reviews inventory for evidence of slow-moving or obsolete items, and writes inventory down to net realizable value, as needed. 

This write-down is based on management's review of inventories on hand, compared to estimated future usage and sales, shelf-life assumptions, and assumptions about the likelihood of obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory and charges are not reversed subsequently to income, even if circumstances later suggest that increased carrying amounts are recoverable. 

h) Goodwill   

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets acquired from our business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Because an assembled workforce cannot be sold or transferred separately from the other assets in the business, any value attributed to it is subsumed into goodwill. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.  

When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company identifies the reporting unit on a basis that is similar to its method for identifying operating segments as defined by the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. This evaluation is applied annually on each impairment testing date (February 28) unless there is a triggering event present during an interim period.

i) Property and equipment   
 
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 

Asset

Life

Machinery and equipment

3 - 10 years

Computer equipment and software

3 - 5 years

Furniture and fixtures

7 - 10 years

Leasehold improvements

Lower of 15 years or lease period

j) Right-of-use asset   

The Company's right-of-use asset consist of leased asset recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. In cases where the lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.   

k) Intangible asset   

Intangible asset consists of trademarks, intellectual property, customer base and non-competes (Note 4). Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses per the table below:

Intangible asset

Life

Tradename - Trademarks

Lower of 5 years or useful life

Non-competes

Lower of 5 years or useful life

Intellectual Property

Lower of 5 years or useful life

Customer Base

Lower of 15 years or useful life

 
The intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. The next assessment of useful lives will take place as at the fiscal year ending February 28, 2022.

l) Business Combination and Contingent consideration
 
A business combination is a transaction or other event in which control over one or more businesses is obtained. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits. A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs that provide a return to the Company and its shareholders. A business need not include all of the inputs and processes that were used by the acquiree to produce outputs if the business can be integrated with the inputs and processes of the Company to continue to produce outputs. The Company considers several factors to determine whether the set of activities and assets is a business.

Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method whereby acquired assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition with the excess of the purchase consideration over such fair value being recorded as goodwill and allocated to reporting units ("RUs"). If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, the difference is recognized immediately as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Acquisition related costs are expensed during the period in which they are incurred, except for the cost of debt or equity instruments issued in relation to the acquisition which is included in the carrying amount of the related instrument. Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. Where provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they are adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods. However, the measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The determination of the value of goodwill and intangible assets arising from business combinations requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

The total purchase price for the acquisition of South Dakota Partners Inc. ("SDP") comprised amounts allocated to stock and cash, including a contingent consideration liability representing the impact of expected revenue and net working capital shortfalls and a contingent consideration asset which represents potential future earnout payments to the Company that are contingent on SDP's business achieving certain milestones.

Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

m) Concentration risk   

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. During the period ended August 31, 2021, SDP had 407 customers with two of those customers accounting for over 78% (August 31, 2020 - nil) of revenues and 85% (February 28, 2021 - nil) of accounts receivable, which is a material concentration of risks.

n) Recently issued pronouncements   

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASU 2016-13"), which changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the impact the adoption will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements as well as whether to early adopt the new guidance.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This update provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

4. Acquisition of South Dakota Partners Inc. ("SDP")
 
Purchase Price
 
On May 21, 2021, the Company completed the purchase all of the capital stock of South Dakota Partners Inc. (SDP), under the Purchase Agreement dated May 21, 2021. Under the Purchase Agreement, Salona acquired the manufacturer specializing in medical devices, full electronics box builds, PCBA's, electrodes, drug delivery and many other products involving electronics, electromechanical assemblies, and various types of material conversion. The acquisition includes all of the current customers, contract rights, inventory, equipment, workforce, and manufacturing infrastructure. At the time of the transaction, there were no material relationships between the seller and Salona or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of Salona , or any associate of any such officer or director. As consideration, the Company will issue 26,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,340,570 subject to earn-out adjustments, including revenue shortfall adjustment and adjusted net assets adjustments. The Company assumed all of the assets and liabilities of SDP.
 
In accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations" the measurement period for the acquisition is for one year during which the Company may re-evaluate the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the goodwill resulting from the transaction as well as the change in amortization as a result of changes in the provisional amounts as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.
 
The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:
 
Cash $ 255  
Restricted Cash   461,066  
Accounts Receivable   2,763,621  
Inventories   4,958,833  
Prepaid expenses   21,651  
Property and equipment   1,409,421  
Right-of-use assets   2,343,947  
Intangible Assets   2,199,444  
Goodwill   8,532,798  
Accounts payable   (821,244 )
Accrued expenses   (201,733 )
Line of credit   (3,732,414 )
Debt   (2,971,350 )
Lease liability   (2,498,095 )
Other liabilities   (384,420 )
Total adjusted purchase price $ (12,081,780 )
 
The business combination accounting is not yet complete and the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional. Therefore, this may result in future adjustments to the provisional amounts as information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The amount allocated to identifiable intangible assets was determined by the Company's management. Other intangibles assets are being amortized over their useful life in accordance with the guidance contained in the FASB issued ASC Topic 350 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  Management estimates that the amount of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes in the current year is $438,490. This amount is expected to increase in future years.
 
Goodwill $ 8,532,798  
Tradename - Trademarks   341,929  
Intellectual Property   320,823  
Customer Base   1,266,405  
Non-Competes   270,287  
Total identifiable intangible assets $ 10,732,242  
 
The table below summarizes the value of the total consideration given in the transaction:
 
Stock (Parent Special Stock) $ 12,340,570  
Floor Guarantee/Contingent Liability   1,139,910  
Earn-out /Contingent Consideration (Revenue)   (21,924 )
Earn-out /Contingent Consideration (Net Assets)   (1,376,776 )
Total Consideration $ 12,081,780  
 
The contingent consideration asset represents potential future earnout payments to the Company that are contingent on SDP's business achieving certain milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration asset of $1,398,700 was recognized on the acquisition date and was measured using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The value of the contingent consideration asset at August 31, 2021 was $1,398,700.
 
The actual number of shares to be issued as consideration will vary depending upon the future revenues and net assets of the acquiree, for the period and as at the end of the twelve months following the month of the acquisition date. Accordingly, a liability of $12,081,780 has been recorded as at August 31, 2021 for shares of common stock to be issued and related to the acquisition.

Post acquisition, SDP contributed substantially to the Company's balance sheet and made up greater than 50% of the Company's assets.

Total revenue $ 3,973,773   $ 78,442   $ 4,564,213   $ 69,824  
 
The Company recognizes the interest and other amounts collected, on the impaired loans, as revenue only on collection as the future economic benefits are uncertain. Revenues for credit receivables (loans) have been disaggregated between loans that are provisioned and those that have not been provisioned. Loans that are not provisioned are accounted for under the accrual method of accounting. The principal loan repayments of fully provisioned loans are recorded as an offset to provision for losses. The interest, fees, and other revenue is recorded on a cash basis as reflected above. The other investments were to a related company and were considered fully impaired.
 
7. Inventories
 
The Company allocates inventory into three major buckets: Raw material, work in progress, and finished goods.

Lines of credit
There is a line of credit facility with a financial institution whereby the Company, secured only by the assets of SDP and not the Parent or any other subsidiary, may borrow up to US$3,500,000 with a maturity on August 1, 2021. Borrowings bear interest at 4.5% and any accrued unpaid interest is due on a monthly basis. The balance was secured by substantially all assets of SDP. As of August 31, 2021, the balance outstanding under the agreement was $nil. The line of credit was refinanced along with several other loans on June 9, 2021.
 
This line of credit was refinanced along with several other loans on June 9, 2021. The line of credit facility is with a financial institution whereby the Company, through SDP, may borrow up to US$5,400,000 with a maturity on August 1, 2023. Borrowings bear interest at 4% or prime +0.75%, whichever is greater, and any accrued unpaid interest is due on a monthly basis. The balance is secured by substantially all assets of SDP and not the Parent or any other subsidiary. As of August 31, 2021, the balance outstanding under the agreement was $4,869,379 (US$3,859,379).
 
In accordance with the refinanced agreement, the Company is subject to a financial covenant and is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (calculated based on the Company's July 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet less $400,000 USD), which must be met on monthly basis. Additionally, the Company cannot make any loans, advances, intercompany transfers of cash flow at any time. Since the execution of the debt line on June 9, 2021, to August 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant.

Covid Related Loans
 
On February 2, 2021, SDP borrowed $944,542 (US$736,887) from a financial institution in connection with the United States Payroll Protection Program ("PPP"). The PPP is a fully forgivable loan issued by accredited financial institutions on behalf of the US Government. The loan bears interest at 1.00% with payments of principal and interest of US$13,740 beginning on December 2, 2021. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. SDP initially recorded the proceeds of the PPP Loan as debt and derecognizes the liability when the loan is paid off or it believes forgiveness is reasonably certain. Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease. The Company had recognized the government grant over the period to match the grant with the related costs, predominantly offset against labor expense. The loan was forgiven in its entirety on June 14th, 2021.
 
On May 8, 2020, SDP borrowed US$150,000 from the United States Small Business Administration ("SBA") in connection with the Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") program. EIDL is designed to provide economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue. EIDL proceeds can be used to cover a wide array of working capital and normal operating expenses, such as continuation to health care benefits, rent, utilities, and fixed debt payments. The debt bears interest at 2.75% per year and is not forgivable. Payments of principal and interest of $808.70 (US$641) per month beginning 12 months from inception of the loan over a 30-year period. The debt balance as at August 31, 2021 was $95,997 (US$76,085).

21.  Subsequent Events
 
The Company's management has evaluated subsequent events up to October 15, 2021, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855 and has determined the following material subsequent event:

On September 30, 2021 the Company announced the acquisition of Simbex, an IP-based business that has a portfolio of several revenue and royalty generating products ranging from wearable technology to products for physical stability as well as expertise in development and design of many medical devices on the market it has innovated over the past several years. The consideration is largely dependent upon 2022 performance. An initial payment of US$3,500,000 followed by a contingent payment in January 2023 of (1) up to US$3,500,000, and (2) up to 6,383,954 shares based upon profitability milestones. In order to capture the entire cash component of the earn-out, Simbex will have to have 2022 profits (measured as EBITDA) in excess of US$641,025 and in order to earn the entire share allocation, profits in 2022 will have to be in excess of US$1,400,000. The Company would close this transaction with existing cash on the balance sheet. Restricted shares of a U.S. subsidiary of the Company will be issued to the sellers of Simbex. Each share of the U.S. subsidiary issued in January 2023 will be exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for one Class "A" share of the Company as described in previous filings (the " Class "A" Shares "). The Class A shares are further restricted as they may be converted to the Company's Common shares only so long as the holder has no more than 500,000 Common Shares at any one time.
 
22. Contingencies
 
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As at August 31, 2021, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company's operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company's directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company's interest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and "Salona" mean Salona Global Medical Device Corporation (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia formerly known as Brattle Street Investment Corp.) and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates a different meaning).
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Looking Forward Statements
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. This quarterly report, including, without limitation, statements under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Such statements include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, the general expansion of our business, and other statements which are not statements of current or historical facts.
 
The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Report, as well as those factors discussed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 21, 2021 (the "Registration Statement"), particularly in "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," all of which are difficult to predict.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under "Risk Factors" may not be exhaustive.
 
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
 
Non-GAAP Measures
 

Throughout this management discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), our management uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance and these are intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company.

Business Overview
 
On March 11, 2021, we completed the Change of Business, as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange, to become an acquisition oriented, medical device company with plans to achieve scale through both further acquisitions and organic growth. We presently intend to operate in the recovery science market, including post-operative pain, wound care and other markets serving the aging population in the United States.
 
On May 21, 2021, we consummated the acquisition of SDP through a subsidiary.  SDP operates a large state-of-the-art production facility located in the State of South Dakota currently producing proprietary and white label medical devices for pain management, cold and hot therapy, NMES, PEMF and ultrasound. Since its acquisition, SDP has generated revenues of $4,502,977 and a net profit of $573,368. We anticipate SDP will continue to be profitable in future quarters. Information relating to SDP contained in this Report covers the period from May 22, 2021, through August 31, 2021.
 
On September 30, 2021, the Company announced the acquisition of Simbex, an IP-based business that has a portfolio of several revenue and royalty generating products ranging from wearable technology to products for physical stability as well as expertise in development and design of many medical devices on the market it has innovated over the past several years. Simbex generated over $8,000,000 in audited revenues in 2020 with reported gross margins of 50% and was cash flow positive. With the closing of Simbex, management estimates SGMD's annualized run-rate revenue will top $24,000,000. Any transactions related to this acquisition are not covered in this report.

Selected Financial Information
 
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated below, to assess the health of the acquisitions conducted by SGMD and determine the overall potential of the business clear of transaction costs and other activities associated with the ongoing growth strategy of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income less interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based comp, foreign exchange gain (loss) and transaction costs.

The ongoing global supply chain process has impacted the Company's ability to source affordable components. Management is optimistic that sourcing impacts will diminish as the global supply chain stabilizes.

Amortization of intangible asset reflects the amortization of intangible assets such as trademarks, non-compete agreement, intellectual property and customer base. We depreciate property and equipment across their useful lives. We expect depreciation of property and equipment and of right of use asset and interest expense to increase as the company continues to grow its balance sheet through acquisition.
 
Transaction costs including legal, financial, audit, US & Canadian Regulatory expenses include fees incurred in connection with the  Change of Business transaction filed in May 21, 2021, due diligence of acquisition targets, financing costs, US regulatory costs, and the associated accounting and other costs. While these costs are necessary to the change of our line of business, they are not operational expenses of the business.

When currency is moved between denominations a gain or loss may be realized and is not something management can accurately predict.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 

We fund our operations through cash from operations and asset-based loans secured by subsidiary inventory and accounts receivable from third parties. As of August 31, 2021, we had $11,675,676 of cash, total restricted cash and marketable securities, which was a decrease of $1,319,150 from the balance as of February 28, 2021. During the quarter ended May 31, 2021, we generated $5,550,258 from the sale of 9,990,237 of our Common Shares. During the quarter ended August 31 2021, we generated $21,392 from an exercise of 112,617 of Options.

 
Long Term Debt
 
On June 9, 2021, SDP entered into a $6,813,180 (US$5,400,000) revolving loan facility with a third-party financial institution, which refinanced their existing revolving loan facility and other notes.  All amounts outstanding under the $ 6,813,180 revolving loan facility bear interest at the greater of 4% or prime + 0.75% per annum, and any accrued unpaid interest is payable monthly, with a maturity of August 1, 2023. The repayment obligations under the $6,813,180 facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of SDP and are not guaranteed by the Parent or any other Subsidiary. In addition, on June 9, 2021, SDP issued a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $936,895 (US$750,000) which evidenced the refinancing of two outstanding loans. The note bears interest at the greater of 6% or prime rate + 2.75% per annum. Principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the note are payable monthly in equal installments over a 36-month period, and the repayment obligations under the note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of SDP. As of August, 31, 2021, we had long term debt of $764,729 related to the above note, as compared to $0 on February 28, 2021, and $0 as of August 31, 2020.

Cash Flows
 
The following table is a summary of our cash flows for the six-month periods ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020.
 
  Six months Ended 
  August 31, 2021  August 31, 2020 
Net cash used in operating activities$(912,728)$(304,456)
Net cash provided by investing activities 937,933  173,249 
Net cash used in financing activities (891,734) - 
Net decrease in cash (866,529) (131,207)
 
Net Cash used in operating activities
 
During the period ended August 31, 2021, $912,728 was used in operating activities, compared to $304,456 for the period ended August 31, 2020. This cash flow was mostly used in the continued acquisition activity of the business as well as to ensure continued operation of the Company and capital raising expenses. Cash losses were substantially lower than the book loss of the Company due to an increase in accounts payable of $579,478 from February 28, 2021, reflecting expenses incurred but not yet paid.
 
Net Cash provided by investing activities
 
During the period ended August 31, 2021, $937,933 was provided by investing activities, compared to $173,249 for the period ended August 31, 2020. This increase in cash flow reflects cash received on acquisition of SDP. Additionally, the increase in cash is due to liquidating our marketable securities during the period ended August 31, 2021. We do not anticipate purchasing any marketable securities positions in the foreseeable future.
 
Net Cash used in financing activities
 
During the period ended August 31, 2021, $891,734 was used in financing activities, compared to $0 during the period ended August 31, 2020. The cash was primarily used to pay off loans held by SDP.  Net cash used in financing activities was offset by cash generated from the exercise of stock options.
 
The Company intends to satisfy its short- and long-term liquidity requirements through its existing cash, current assets and cash flow from operating activities.
 
We have never paid a cash dividend on our capital stock. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at our Board's discretion and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the periods covered by this Report.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.  We currently have investments in marketable securities, which expose us to general market risk as well as risk associated with the specific industries in which we are invested. It is our goal to maximize return while minimizing risk. However, there are additional risk factors at play with these investments. All securities are for companies or Exchange Traded Funds listed in the United States. Specifically, the Company is exposed to enhanced risk related to the value of real estate and the value of and ratings of corporate and government debt. The majority of the Company's debt exposure is related to debt issued by the United States Government, which we believe substantially reduces our credit exposure because of its exceptional credit worthiness. 
 
29

 
Interest Rate Risk

 

As part of our ongoing operations, we are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings.  See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long Term Debt"

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We receive and make payments in U.S. currency and accordingly we are subject to the financial risks associated with changes in the exchange rate between U.S. currency and Canadian currency. We have not entered into any hedge arrangements intending to mitigate this exchange rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of August 31, 2021, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based on that evaluation, management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the period covered by this Report, we have not made any change to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. These risks should be considered carefully with the uncertainties described below, and all other information included in this Report, before making an investment decision regarding our common shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems immaterial and therefore not referenced herein, may also become material and may harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. The trading price of our common shares could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to all of the other information contained in this Report, including our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Please also see the section captioned "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 25 of this Report.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
We have a limited business history.
 
On May 21, 2021, we consummated the acquisition of South Dakota Partners, Inc., a South Dakota corporation ("SDP") pursuant to the terms of that certain Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2020 among the Company, Brattle Acquisition I Corp, SDP and the shareholders of SDP (the "Purchase Agreement").  As a result of the acquisition of SDP,  we began to operate a large state-of-the-art production facility incorporated and located in the State of South Dakota currently producing proprietary and white label medical devices for pain management, cold and hot therapy, NMES, PEMF and ultrasound. Prior to May 21, 2021, we were engaged in the business of making loans to third parties.  Information relating to SDP's business and related services contained in this Report covers the period from May 22, 2021, through August 31, 2021.
 
In addition to operating SDP, our current strategy is to identify and acquire additional operating businesses in the medical technology/device sector, some of which may be complementary to SDP.  Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business. We have limited financial resources and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for further operations or to fulfill our obligations under applicable agreements. There is no assurance that we can generate revenues, operate profitably, or provide a return on investment, or that we will successfully implement our business plans.
 
We may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.
 
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions. For example, as discussed in more detail below, since early 2020, the U.S and other world economies have experienced turmoil due to the novel coronavirus pandemic and related "shelter-in-place" orders and other governmental mandates ("COVID-19"), which has resulted in global economic uncertainty. 
 
31

 
A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence. The COVID-19 pandemic could potentially disrupt our supply chain or interfere with normal business operations due to the loss of employee availability.  The broader impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on investors, businesses, the global economy or financial and commodity markets may also have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of our common shares.
 
Additionally, the U.S. has imposed and may impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, retaliatory or trade protection measures or other restrictions or regulations and may adversely adjust prevailing quota, duty or tariff levels, which can affect both the materials that we use in our products and the sale of finished products. For example, the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on materials from China are impacting materials that we import for use in packaging in the U.S. Measures to reduce the impact of tariff increases or trade restrictions, including geographical diversification of our sources of supply, adjustments in packaging design and fabrication or increased prices, could increase our costs, delay our time to market and/or decrease sales. Other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products and our costs, customers, suppliers and global economic conditions and cause higher volatility in financial markets. While we actively review existing and proposed measures to seek to assess the impact of them on our business, changes in tariff rates, import duties and other new or augmented trade restrictions could have a number of negative impacts on our business, including higher consumer prices and reduced demand for our products and higher input costs.
 
Our failure to comply with all regulatory, permit and license requirements could result in criminal or civil sanctions or an adverse effect on our business.
 
We are operating in an industry that is subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions or require us to make significant changes to our operations that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
Our operations are also subject to state laws governing, among other things, distribution of medical equipment and certain types of health activities, and we may be required to obtain and maintain licenses in each state to act as an equipment supplier. Additionally, accreditation is required by many payors. If we fail to obtain or maintain any required accreditation, it could have an impact on our business.
 
Increased regulatory burdens may result in significant loss of revenue, substantial out-of-pocket costs and loss of management focus on our business.
 
Increasing regulatory burdens, including premarketing approval delays, may result in significant loss of revenue, unpredictable costs and loss of management focus on developing and marketing products that improve the quality of healthcare. Medical device companies are increasingly burdened with bureaucratic and regulator demands that may not be reasonably related to assuring the safety or effectiveness of the devices that they provide.  Premarketing submission administrative burdens, and substantial "user fees" or notified body review fees, represent a significant non-clinical and/or non-scientific barrier to new product introduction, resulting in lack of investment or delays to revenues from new or improved devices.  The risks associated with such circumstances relate not only to substantial out-of-pocket costs, including potential litigation, but also loss of business and a diversion of attention of key employees for an extended period of time from managing their normal responsibilities, particularly in new product development and routine quality assurance activities. 
 
32

 
Healthcare reform legislation may negatively impact us.

 

Healthcare reform laws significantly affect the U.S. healthcare services industry. In recent years, many legislative proposals have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures that would affect major changes in the healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level. The ultimate content, timing or effect of any healthcare reform legislation and the impact of potential legislation on us is uncertain and difficult, if not impossible, to predict. That impact may be material to our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Legislative or executive order healthcare reform in the United States has the potential to render the U.S. medical device marketplace unpredictable. A fully government-run healthcare system might expand demand for healthcare services to previously uninsured populations but may also reduce or eliminate healthcare consumer choice as well as commercial incentives for innovation.  Although we do not collect revenue by billing insurance providers, changes in reimbursement by public or private insurance could reduce the profitability of providing physical therapy services, and indirectly decrease demand for our products or our acquisition targets.
 
We face intense competition.
 
The healthcare and medical device industry is highly competitive and dynamic and may become more competitive as new players enter the market. Certain competitors will be subsidiaries or divisions of larger, much better capitalized companies. Certain competitors will have vertically integrated production and services sectors of the market. We may have less capital and may encounter greater operational challenges in serving the market.
 
Better capitalized competitors may be able to borrow money or raise debt to purchase equipment more easily than us. Potential competitors could have significantly greater financial, research and development, production, and sales and marketing resources than we have and could utilize their greater resources to acquire or develop new technologies or products that could effectively compete with ours.  Additionally, demand for our products could be diminished by technological change or equivalent or superior products developed by competitors.
 
Competing in these markets could result in price-cutting, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, any of which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to distinguish ourselves from our competitors and their products, on such factors as safety and effectiveness, product pricing, compelling clinical data and quality of customer support.
 
We may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions in the medical technology sector.
 
We may not be able to successfully identify and complete corporate transactions on favorable terms or achieve anticipated synergies relating to any acquisitions in the medical technology sector, and such acquisitions could result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures or require significant management resources and significant charges.
 
As a part of our anticipated growth strategy, we will be regularly exploring potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, services or products. We may be unable to find suitable acquisition candidates. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition candidates, we may be unable to complete the acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all, as a result of changes in tax laws, regulations, financial market, or other economic or market conditions. We may incur material costs in pursuing successful or unsuccessful acquisitions. Acquisition activities can be thwarted by overtures from competitors for the targeted candidates, government regulation and replacement product developments within the industry in which we are expected to operate. Competition may intensify due to the ongoing consolidation in the healthcare industry, which may increase our acquisition costs. Competition from other buyers of medical device companies may drive asset prices to levels that we do not believe are justified in the long term, which could delay our acquisition strategy.  In addition, the process of integrating an acquired business, technology, service or product into existing operations could result in unforeseen difficulties and expenditures. Acquired businesses may require capital infusions for the possibility of future growth.  Integrating completed acquisitions into existing operations involves numerous short-term and long-term risks, including diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key personnel, long-term value of acquired intangible assets and acquisition expenses. In addition, we may be required to comply with laws, rules and regulations that may differ from those of the states in which our operations are currently conducted. Moreover, we may not realize the anticipated financial or other benefits of an acquisition. 
 
33

 
Future acquisitions could also involve the issuance of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, assumption of actual or contingent liabilities or amortization of expenses related to other intangible assets, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations. The issuance of shares for an acquisition may result in dilution to our shareholders and, depending on the number of shares that may be issued, the resale of such shares could affect the trading price of our common shares. In addition, equity or debt financing required for such acquisitions may not be available. We may not be able to identify all actual or contingent liabilities associated with a particular acquisition, and representations and warranties in a purchase agreement, if any, may not be sufficient to allow for recovery of losses.
 
Any corporate transaction will be accompanied by certain risks including but not limited to: exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies and the unknown issues with any associated technologies or research; certain acquired businesses may have business models with lower operating margins, which could affect our overall operating results in future periods; higher than anticipated acquisition costs and expenses; the difficulty and expense of integrating operations, systems, and personnel of acquired companies; disruption of ongoing business; uncertainty that an acquired business will continue to maintain its pre-acquisition revenue and growth rates, or be profitable; inability to retain key customers, vendors, and other business partners of the acquired company; diversion of management's time and attention; the realization of financial and operating risks not fully anticipated; and potential challenges under antitrust laws, either before or after an acquisition is consummated, which could involve substantial legal costs and result in our having to abandon the transaction or make a divestiture.
 
We may not be able to successfully overcome these risks and other problems associated with acquisitions and this may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
We may be unable to achieve our growth strategy.
 
We may have difficulty identifying or acquiring suitable acquisition targets and in achieving organic growth, which is a significant aspect of our proposed business model. In the event that we are successful in consummating acquisitions in the future, such acquisitions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects due to a variety of factors, including the acquired company's business not achieving the anticipated revenue, earnings or cash flows, assumption of liabilities or risks beyond our estimates or the diversion of the attention of management from our then existing business. If we are unable to continue to grow or manage our growth for any of these reasons, we may be unable to achieve our proposed expansion strategy, which could adversely impact our earnings, revenue and profits. 
 
34

 
We may be unable to execute on our planned international expansion.
 
A component of our proposed growth strategy is to expand our operations and sales internationally. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify any targets in foreign jurisdictions, successfully market, distribute, sell and deliver our products in foreign markets, or otherwise be able to successfully expand our international sales. New trade or tariff policies and geopolitical tensions and disputes could make international markets less accessible or profitable.  Compliance with various regulations and laws of foreign nations may be costly and require scale to be financially attractive.  Global operations could cause us to be subject to unexpected, uncontrollable and rapidly changing risks, events and circumstances.
 
We may fail in our efforts to manage growth.
 
The success of our business strategy depends, in part, on our ability to expand our operations in the future. Our anticipated growth strategy is expected to place demands on management, operational and financial information systems, and other resources. Expansion of our operations may require substantial financial resources and management attention. To accommodate anticipated future growth, and to compete effectively, we may need to improve our management, implement operational and financial information systems, and expand, train, manage, and motivate our workforce. Our personnel, systems, procedures, or controls may not be adequate to support our operations in the future. Further, focusing financial resources and diverting management's attention to the expansion of our operations may negatively impact our financial results. Any failure to improve our management, to implement operational and financial information systems, or expand, train, manage, or motivate our workforce, as required, may reduce or prevent our growth plans.
 
We are dependent on key distributors.
 
Our reliance on third party distributors in some markets may result in less predictable revenues. Distributors may have varying expertise in marketing and selling specialty medical devices and may also sell other devices that could result in less focus on our products.
 
We are dependent on key customers, markets and products.
 
We produce a limited number of products and have a concentration of orders from key customers, primarily in the U.S. market, from which we derive a substantial portion of our revenue.  In connection with the acquisition of SDP, we acquired SDP's two main supply agreements, which in the aggregate contributed 83% of its total revenue in 2020 and 89% of its total revenue in 2019.  These supply agreements may be terminated by either party from time to time under certain conditions. Customers may cancel or choose not to renew their contracts. Changes in economic conditions could influence future actions of our partners or other customers. To the extent that any significant agreement or agreements with our customers are canceled, including, without limitation, our supply agreements, or are not renewed or replaced with other arrangements having at least as favorable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We seek to expand our product offerings, increase the number of customers and expand our markets, but there is no assurance that this plan will succeed.
 
Our customers depend on third-party coverage and reimbursements. The failure of healthcare programs to provide coverage and reimbursement, or reductions in levels of reimbursement, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
The ability of our customers to obtain reimbursements for products they purchase from us or from intermediaries, or from therapies they provide using the products they purchase from us or intermediaries is important to our business. Demand for many of our existing and new medical products is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs and private health insurers reimburse our customers for patients' medical expenses in the countries where we do business. Any reduction in the amount of reimbursements received by our customers could harm our business by reducing their selection of our products and the prices they are willing to pay. 
 
35

 
In addition, as a result of their purchasing power, third-party payors are implementing cost-cutting measures such as seeking discounts, price reductions or other incentives from medical products suppliers and imposing limitations on coverage and reimbursements for medical technologies and procedures. These trends could compel us to reduce prices for our existing products and potential new products and could cause a decrease in the size of the market or a potential increase in competition that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
 
We may be unable to successfully market our products and services.
 
We may not be successful in marketing our products and services. In order to sustain and increase revenues, our products and services must achieve a significant degree of market acceptance. If we are unable to promote, market and sell our products and services or secure relationships with customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
 
Levels of market acceptance for products and services could be impacted by several factors, many of which are not within our control, including but not limited to: safety, efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness of our products and services; scope of approved uses and marketing approval; difficulty in, or excessive costs to, manufacturing; infringement or alleged infringement of the patents or intellectual property rights of others; maintenance of business arrangements with healthcare providers; availability of alternative products or services from competitors; and acceptance of the price of products and services.
 
If our competitors are able to develop and market products that are preferred over those offered by us, are able to grow service businesses that are preferred over our services or other businesses preferred over other products and services that may be developed, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to continue our operations. We may not be able to contend successfully with competitors. The medical device industry is highly competitive and subject to significant and rapid technological changes as new technologies, services and treatments are developed.
 
We plan to market our products in other countries besides the United States.  We may not succeed in our marketing efforts.  We may incur substantial initial costs associated with entering a new market.  It may take time to meet all the legal, regulatory and economic burdens of entering a new market, and those costs may not be recouped for some time or at all, which may have an impact upon our financial performance.
 
We may fail to keep pace with necessary technological changes.
 
The market for some of our products may be characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments could result in serious harm to our business and operating results. SDP derived, and it is expected that we will continue to derive, a substantial portion of revenues from the development and sale of products in the medical device industry. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market product offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of our competitors, evolving industry standards and changing patient preferences. There is no assurance that we will keep up with technological improvements. 
 
36

 
We are a holding company and operate through our subsidiaries.
 
We conduct our operations through our subsidiaries. Therefore, to the extent of these holdings, we (directly and indirectly) are dependent on the cash flows of these subsidiaries to meet our obligations. The ability of these subsidiaries to make payments to their parent companies may be constrained by a variety of factors, including the level of taxation, particularly corporate profits and withholding taxes, in the jurisdiction in which each subsidiary operates, and the introduction of exchange controls or repatriation restrictions or the availability of hard currency to be repatriated. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before us.
 
We may be subject to certain conflicts of interest.
 
Certain of our directors and officers will be engaged in, and will continue to engage in, other business activities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies and, as a result of these and other activities, such directors and officers may become subject to conflicts of interest. Our independent members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") will review any such transactions and report to the Audit Committee of the Board.
 
The Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, as amended, including the regulations ‎promulgated thereunder (the "BCBCA") provides that in the event that a director has a material interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement that is material to an issuer, the director shall disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement, subject to and in accordance with the BCBCA. To the extent that conflicts of interest arise, such conflicts will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA.
 
We do not have foreign private issuer status.
 
As of March 1, 2020, the Company ceased to meet the definition of a "foreign private issuer" set out in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.  As a result, our equity securities will be deemed to be "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule ‎‎144 of the Securities Act.  Any such securities issued by us must be registered with the SEC or be issued on an exempt basis and carry resale restrictions.  As a result of the loss of foreign private issuer status, ‎we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of securities issued in connection ‎with certain private equity financings, and we are now subject to SEC rules and regulations ‎regarding disclosure which require the filing of various periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.  These obligations ‎entail significant financial and management resources.  We are also subject to liability under the Securities Act ‎and the Exchange Act. Liability under these acts can lead to monetary fines, limitations on future ‎financings and, if imposed, may impede our ability to finance our business‎.
 
We may be subject to litigation.
 
We and/or our directors may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit, which may redirect substantial amounts of our resources. Our devices may be used in inherently risky situations to help physicians achieve a more positive outcome than what might otherwise be the case.  In any lawsuit where an individual plaintiff suffered permanent physical injury, the possibility of a large award for damages exists whether or not a causal relationship exists.  Moreover, even if we are successful in litigation, litigation can redirect significant resources including, but not limited to, our management's time and attention and our capital.
 
37

 
We face risks relating to our insurance coverage.
 
The marketing and sale of medical device products creates an inherent risk of claims for product liability. We carry product liability insurance that we consider adequate to protect us from claims. There can be no assurance that we will have resources sufficient to satisfy liability claims in excess of policy limits if required to do so. Also, if we are subject to such liability claims, there is no assurance that our insurance provider will continue to insure us or that our insurance rates will not substantially rise, resulting in increased costs to us or forcing us to either pay higher premiums or reduce our coverage amounts, which would result in increased liability to claims.
 
We may be unable to maintain the intellectual property rights on which our future success is dependent.
 
It is anticipated that our trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property will be a component of our success. Effective trademark, trade secret and intellectual property protection may not be available to us in every jurisdiction in which our products may be available. In addition, if any third-party confidentiality agreements in our favor are breached, there may not be an adequate remedy available to us. If our trade secrets become publicly known, it may cause us to lose competitive advantages.
 
We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined adversely to us, could subject us to significant liabilities and other costs.
 
Other companies, including our competitors, may obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would limit, interfere with, or otherwise circumscribe our ability to make, use, or sell products. Should there be a successful claim of infringement against us and if we could not license the alleged infringed technology at a reasonable cost, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. There has been substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical device industry. The validity and breadth of claims covered in medical technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. Any litigation claims against us, independent of their validity, may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources with no assurance of success.
 
Our products may be subject to product recalls.
 
Our products may be subject to recall, despite receiving United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") or foreign clearance or approval, which would harm our reputation and business. The FDA and similar governmental authorities in other countries have the authority to require the recall of medical device products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacturing. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors or design defects, including defects in labeling. Any recall would divert managerial and financial resources and could harm our reputation with customers. There can be no assurance that we will not have product recalls in the future or that such recalls would not have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We face risks related to our information technology systems, and potential cyber-attacks and security breaches.
 
Increased sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks have resulted in an increase in information security risks in recent years. Hackers develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack products and services and gain access to networks and data centers. If we were to experience difficulties maintaining existing systems or implementing new systems, we could incur significant losses due to disruptions in our operations. Additionally, these systems may contain valuable proprietary and confidential information and personal customer data. A security breach could result in disruptions of our internal systems and business applications, harm to our competitive position from the compromise of confidential business information, or subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to enhance our information security measures and/or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.  Any of these consequences would adversely affect our revenue and margins. 
 
38

 
We are subject to antitrust laws, violations of which may incur substantial penalties that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
The U.S. healthcare industry is subject to close antitrust scrutiny. In recent years, U.S. regulatory authorities have taken increasing steps to review and, in some cases, take enforcement action against business conduct and acquisitions in the healthcare industry. Violations of antitrust laws may be punishable by substantial penalties including treble damages, significant monetary fines, civil penalties, criminal sanctions, and consent decrees and injunctions prohibiting certain activities or requiring divestiture or discontinuance of business operations. Any of these penalties could have material adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are subject to debt instruments and restrictive covenants that may impede our ability to conduct our business.
 
We are subject to various restrictive covenants and events of default, including payment of interest and principal when due, under a commercial loan agreement entered into with a third party financial institution on June 9, 2021 in connection with a $6,813,180 (US$5,400,000) revolving loan facility with a maturity on August 1, 2023, and a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $936,895 (US$750,000) maturing on June 1, 2024 (collectively, the "Loans").
 
If there is an event of default under the Loans, the principal amount owing thereunder, plus accrued and unpaid interest, may be declared immediately due and payable. If such an event occurs, it could have a material negative financial impact on the Company. Any extended default under the Loans could result in the loss of our entire business.
 
In addition, the Loans include various conditions and covenants that require us to obtain consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. The inability to meet these conditions and covenants or obtain lenders' consent to carry out restricted activities could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
We are subject to environmental regulations and any failure to comply may result in substantial fines and sanctions.
 
Our operations are subject to state, federal and international environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of raw materials, waste and other materials. Many of these laws and regulations provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. We believe that we are operating our business and facility in a manner that complies in all material respects with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; however, we may incur material costs or liabilities if we fail to operate in full compliance. We do not maintain environmental damage insurance coverage with respect to the products which we manufacture. 
 
39

 
We may have to make significant expenditures in the future to comply with evolving environmental, health and safety requirements, including new requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future. To meet changing licensing and regulatory standards, we may have to make significant additional site or operational modifications that could involve substantial expenditures or reduction or suspension of some of our operations. We cannot be certain that we have identified all environmental and health and safety matters affecting our activities, and in the future our environmental, health and safety problems, and the costs to remediate them, may be materially greater than we expect.
 
Our results of operations could be affected by currency fluctuations.
 
Our properties are all located in the United States and most costs associated with these properties are paid in U.S. dollars. At this time, all revenues are earned in U.S. dollars.  If we are successful in marketing products to Europe and Japan, revenues may be earned in euros, yen and other diverse currencies.  Marketing costs may also be incurred in such currencies. There can be significant swings in the exchange rate between these currencies and the Canadian dollar. There are no plans at this time to hedge against any exchange rate fluctuations in currencies.
 
Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Requirements
 
We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital or liquidity to fulfill our business requirements.
 
Additional funds for the establishment of our business and growth plans may be required. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise the additional funding that may be required for such activities, should such funding not be fully generated from operations. To meet such funding requirements, we may be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable us or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations and pursue only activities or acquire targets that can be funded through cash flows generated from our existing operations, if any.
 
We may face difficulties acquiring additional or traditional financing.
 
We anticipate that we may have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements. If we are unable to obtain necessary capital on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to execute on our proposed business plans and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may be adversely affected.
 
The development of our business (including acquisitions) may require additional financing, which may involve high transaction costs, dilution to our shareholders, high interest rates or unfavorable terms and conditions. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of our business plans and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to us. 
 
40

 
We may invest in pre-revenue and other revenue-generating medical device companies which may not be able to meet anticipated revenue targets in the future.
 
We may make investments in companies with no significant sources of operating cash flow and no revenue from operations, or companies that have revenues but are introducing new product lines with no revenue history and a need to fund production and marketing expenses. Our investments in such companies will be subject to risks and uncertainties that new companies with no operating history may face. In particular, there is a risk that our investment in these pre-revenue companies or new products will not be able to meet anticipated revenue targets or will generate no revenue at all. The risk is that underperforming pre-revenue companies may lead to these businesses failing, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.
 
Our sales are difficult to forecast.
 
As a result of recent and ongoing regulatory and policy changes in the medical device industries, the market data available is limited and may be unreliable. We must rely largely on our own market research to forecast sales, as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources in the states in which our business operates. Additionally, any market research and our projections of estimated total retail sales, demographics, demand and similar consumer research, are based on assumptions from limited and unreliable market data. Projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability depends on the timing and probability of a complex series of future events. There is no assurance that the assumptions upon which these projections are based will be realized. Actual results may differ materially from projected results for a number of reasons including increases in operating expenses, changes or shifts in regulations or applicable laws, undiscovered or unanticipated adverse industry and economic conditions, and unanticipated competition. Accordingly, our investors should not rely on any projections to indicate the actual results we might achieve.
 
Changes in our customer, product or competition mix could cause our product margin to fluctuate.
 
From time to time, we may experience changes in our customer mix, our product mix or our competition mix. Changes in our customer mix may result from geographic expansion or contractions, legislative or enforcement priority changes affecting the products we distribute, selling activities within current geographic markets and targeted selling activities to new customer sectors. Changes in our product mix may result from marketing activities to existing customers, the needs communicated to us from existing and prospective customers and from legislative changes. Changes in our competition mix may result from well-financed competitors entering into our business segment. If customer demand for lower-margin products increases and demand for higher-margin products decreases, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
 
We may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
 
We intend to expend significant funds to make acquisitions and to fund our working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including as a result of unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, the other risks described in this prospectus and other unknown events. The amount of future net losses will depend, in part, on the growth of our future expenses and our ability to generate revenue. If we continue to incur losses in the future, the net losses and negative cash flows incurred to date, together with any such future losses, will have an adverse effect on our stockholders' equity and working capital. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our common shares may significantly decrease and our ability to raise capital, expand our business or continue our operations may be impaired. A decline in our value may also cause you to lose all or part of your investment. 
 
41

 
Risks Related to Our Common Shares
 
Our common shares are a high risk investment.
 
Our common shares are listed in Canada on the TSXV and are not listed on any U.S. national securities exchange. Consequently, there is a limited trading market for our common shares, which may affect the ability of shareholders to sell our common shares in the U.S. and the prices at which they may be able to sell our common shares. The TSXV is a smaller exchange in Canada and your broker may not facilitate trades in Canada.
 
The market price of our common shares has been volatile, and fluctuates widely in price in response to various factors which are beyond our control. The price of our common shares is not necessarily indicative of our operating performance or long term business prospects. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
 
In the United States, our common shares are considered a "penny stock", and our shares are not listed and trading on any U.S. exchange. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". These rules further restrict the trading activity and marketability of our common shares.
 
As a result of the foregoing, a purchase of our common shares should be considered a high risk investment.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common shares.
 
Because we have no near term plans to pay cash dividends on our common shares, investors must look solely to share appreciation for a return on their investment. We anticipate retaining all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and there is no expectation that we will declare or pay any cash dividends on our common shares in the near term. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors that the Board considers relevant. Accordingly, investors will only see a return on their investment if the value of our common shares appreciates.
 
We are subject to the continued listing criteria of the TSXV and our failure to satisfy these criteria may result in the suspension or delisting of the common shares.
 
Our common shares are currently listed on the TSXV. In order to maintain the listing, we must maintain certain financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to objective standards, the TSXV may delist or suspend from trading the securities of any issuer if, in the TSXV's opinion, the issuer or its principal operating subsidiary substantially reduces or impairs its principal operating assets, ceases or discontinues a substantial portion of its operations or business for any reason, or seeks protection or is placed under the protection of any insolvency or bankruptcy laws or is placed into receivership, or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which, in the opinion of the TSXV, makes continued listing on the TSXV inadvisable or not in the public interest. 
 
42

 
If the TSXV suspends or delists our common shares, investors may face material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, a lack of trading market for our common shares, reduced liquidity, decreased analyst coverage of the Company, and an inability for us to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.
 
We are eligible to be treated as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.
 
As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
 
• have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
 
• comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm;
 
• rotate audit firms or provide a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
 
• submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on- frequency" and
 
• disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation to median employee compensation.
 
We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year in which we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our first sale of registered common equity securities pursuant to the Securities Act. Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our stock price may be more volatile.
 
Additional issuances of common shares may result in further dilution.
 
We may issue additional common shares in the future to finance acquisitions or operations, which may dilute an existing investor's holdings. We cannot predict the size or nature of future issuances or the effect that future issuances and sales of common shares will have on the market price of our common shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional common shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common shares. With any additional issuance of common shares, our investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest. 
 
43

 
Our share price may be volatile and as a result you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
In addition to volatility associated with equity securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common shares:
 
• our ability to execute our business plan;
 
• period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;
 
• changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which we operate;
 
• addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel;
 
• sales or perceived sales of additional shares of our common shares;
 
• operating and financial performance that varies from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;
 
• regulatory changes affecting our industry generally and our business and operations both domestically and abroad;
 
• announcements of developments and other material events by us or our competitors;
 
• changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions;
 
• significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors; and
 
• news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry or target markets.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
 
It may be difficult to enforce judgments or bring actions outside the United States against us and our directors.
 
We are a British Columbia corporation and, as a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to enforce in courts outside the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws against these persons and the Company; or bring in courts outside the United States an original action to enforce liabilities based upon United States federal securities laws against these persons and the Company. 
 
44

 
General Risk Factors
 
We heavily rely on management and key personnel and the loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
Our success will be largely dependent upon the skills, experience and performance of our, and our subsidiaries', directors and officers and our ability to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of these persons may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We will compete with numerous other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and contractors. There is no assurance that we can maintain the service of our directors and officers. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on us and our prospects.
 
We are subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. Since then, it has spread to several other countries and infections have been reported around the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. A public health epidemic, including COVID-19, or the fear of a potential pandemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns or other preventative measures taken to limit the potential impact from a public health epidemic that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.
 
Our priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic are protecting the health and safety of our employees and our customers, following the recommended actions of government and health authorities. Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative operational impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and supply chain, as well as our continued operation in jurisdictions that currently or in the future impose restrictions on business operations.
 
Changes in U.S. economic conditions may negatively impact our business.
 
For the foreseeable future, our business is expected to be concentrated in the U.S. market. Changes in the economic conditions in the U.S. may have a substantial impact on our financial performance, business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Changes in U.S. tax law may adversely affect us or our investors.
 
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common shares. In recent years, many changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future.
 
For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in 2017 made significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, which is a historically low rate. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was enacted, which included certain changes in tax law intended to stimulate the U.S. economy in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary beneficial changes to the treatment of net operating losses, interest deductibility limitations and payroll tax matters.  In light of the new presidential administration, it cannot be predicted whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, new tax laws may be enacted, or regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or issued under existing or new tax laws, which could result in an increase in our or our investors' tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects of changes in tax law or in the interpretation thereof.
