Nature of operations

The Company is a veterinary health company creating point-of-care diagnostics products for dogs and cats, that focuses on the needs of the veterinarians themselves.

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

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring this virus a global pandemic in March 2020. Governments around the world have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing. The closure of businesses has caused material disruption to businesses resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have responded with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize the financial markets.

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

Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for the presentation of interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited financial statements should be read in combination with the other Notes in this section; “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing in Item 2; and the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements.

3.	Significant accounting policies

Estimates and assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, management was required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update such estimates and assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on the first in, first out method. The Company records reserves, when necessary, to reduce the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value. Management considers forecast demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining excess and obsolescence and net realizable value adjustments. At the point of loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and any subsequent improvements in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

Revenue recognition

The Company enters into agreements which may contain multiple promises where customers purchase products, services or a combination thereof. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires judgment. We determine the transaction price for a contract based on the total consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transferred goods or services.

The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation in proportion to the relative standalone selling prices and recognize revenue when control of the related goods or services is transferred for each obligation. We utilize the observable standalone selling price when available, which represents the price charged for the performance obligation when sold separately.

The Company's contracts with customers are generally comprised of purchase orders for the sale of the point of care diagnostic instrument, consumable products, and warranties, or some variation thereof. The instrument and consumables each represent a single performance obligation when sold separately, that is satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of control of the product to the customer which is typically upon receipt of the goods by the customer. The warranties are also a separate performance obligation, whereby revenue is recognized over time.

Sales tax is charged on sales to end users, and remitted to the appropriate state authority.

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, and have payment terms of 30 days.

Cost of revenue

Cost of goods sold consists of materials, and shipping costs incurred internally to produce and receive the products. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.

8.	Loan arrangements

On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into a loan arrangement with a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which such shareholder has agreed to provide a loan facility to the Company, whereby the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000, with the proceeds to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The term of the loan facility is five (5) years, with principal and interest payments being due only at the time of maturity. Under the loan agreement, the Company may borrow in one or more advances, provided however that a minimum amount of $250,000 must be borrowed at any one time and not more than two advances may occur per month. Interest shall accrue at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum, payable upon maturity. As of March 31, 2021, no amounts have been borrowed.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or (“CARES”) Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration to temporarily guarantee loans under a new loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”). The Program provides for 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses to allow employers to keep workers employed and maintain payroll during the pandemic and economic downturn. Under the Program, qualified companies are eligible for a loan in an amount equal to the lesser of $10 million or 2.5x the business’s average monthly payroll. Collateral or guarantor support is not required for the loan.

Under the Program, the borrower is eligible for loan forgiveness up to the amount the borrower spends on certain eligible costs during the 8-week period beginning on the date the proceeds were received on the loan. Eligible costs under the Program include payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations incurred before the covered period, rent on leasing agreements and utility services. The amount of loan forgiveness is reduced if there is a reduction in the number of employees or a reduction of greater than 25% in wages paid to employees. Under the Program, proceeds that are not forgiven convert to a loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 1% payable in 18 equal monthly installments commencing after the forgiveness period. The Program was subsequently amended to allow the borrower to use an extended forgiveness period of 24 weeks beginning on the date the proceeds were received on the loan and to extend the repayment period to 54 months commencing after the 24 week forgiveness period.

In April of 2020, the Company received $527,360 under the program. The receipt is currently reported as a current liability and accounted for as a loan. The company filed for forgiveness, pending approval from the Small Business Administration.

Commitments and contingencies

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

•

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

•

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

As at March 31, 2021, none of the future development milestones related to the above agreement have been met. The Company has assessed the probability of meeting the above milestones and has determined that an accrual is not necessary at March 31, 2021.

From time to time, the Company may be exposed to claims and legal actions in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2021, and continuing as of May 12, 2021, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation claims against the Company, other than as described below.

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and the Company (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”) which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing our TRUFORMA® diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. Heska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the Defendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. On May 10, 2021, the Defendants filed an updated answer and counterclaims to Heska’s amended complaint alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices claims against Heska. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

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

14.	Financial instruments

(a)

Fair values

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

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

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

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

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

The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loans payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(b)

Interest rate and credit risk

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

(c)

Foreign exchange risk

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

our status as a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” below and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional risks which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report or the date of the document incorporated by reference into this Report. We have no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We have expressed our expectations, beliefs and projections in good faith, and we believe they have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot assure you that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

Overview

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

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

As TRUFORMA^®’s market presence grew, we intended to transition from a distributor-based sales model to a direct sales organization. However, due to anticipated changes at our current distributor that we believe have impacted its ability to market our products effectively, we will be accelerating that transition and the building of a direct sales organization.

Zomedica currently employs nine direct field commercialization personnel, supported by two regional managers, a Vice President of Sales, and a Chief Commercial Officer.

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

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

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

Through the year ended December 31, 2020, we were a development-stage company with no commercialized products, and we did not generate any revenue from product sales. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of approximately $4.0 million and approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 and approximately $16.9 million and $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with investigating and developing our product candidates, research and development activities, and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $105.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $276.6 million.

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

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

Revenue

We launched our TRUFORMA® platform and our first three assays during the first quarter of 2021. Our revenue consisted of instruments, cartridges, and warranty services sold in the U.S.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs related to the costs of manufacturing instruments and cartridges and the related warranty purchases. We expense all inventory obsolescence provisions related to normal manufacturing changes as cost of revenue.

Operating Expenses

The majority of our operating expenses to date have been for the general and administrative activities related to general business activities, capital market activities and stock-based compensation, developing a commercial team, and research and development activities related to our lead product candidates.

Research and Development Expense

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

Selling General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of personnel costs, including salaries, related benefits and stock-based compensation for employees, consultants and directors. General and administrative expenses also include rent and other facilities costs, professional fees, amortization and depreciation.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2020, we had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $19.6 million and non-capital loss carryforwards for Canada of approximately $27.8 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2035. We have evaluated the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and non-capital loss carryforwards. We concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets. There has been no significant change in the first three months ended March 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

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

JOBS Act

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

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

Research and Development Costs

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

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

Translation of Foreign Currencies

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

Stock-Based Compensation

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

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

Loss Per Share

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

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

Comprehensive Loss

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

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $14,124 and resulted from the sale of our TRUFORMA^® products and associated warranties. We commenced commercialization of TRUFORMA® on March 15, 2021 and accordingly had only limited sales activity in the first quarter of 2021. We expect that revenue will increase in subsequent periods as we increase our sales and marketing activities and have full periods during which we obtain sales and record related revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $5,658. As noted above, commercialization of TRUFORMA^® commenced on March 15, 2021. We expect that cost of revenue will increase as we sell additional products in subsequent periods.

Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $0.4 million compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 34%. The decrease was a result of an overall reduction in research and development activity as we curtailed our drug development activities, and a reduction in development costs related to TRUFORMA^® as we completed development of the instrument and three of the first five assays and began commercialization.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $3.5 million, compared to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $1.8 million, or 105%. The increase primarily was due to an increase in share-based compensation expense which was approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to approximately $0.2 million for the comparable period in 2020 as a result of stock option grants made during the first quarter of 2021. Other significant increases include professional fees incurred in connection with the exchange of the Series 1 preferred shares, and fees associated with SEC filings for $.7 million.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $4.0 million. We also incurred a direct charge to retained earnings as a result of the exchange of the Series 1 preferred shares of approximately $32.0 million as a result of the exchange of the Series 1 preferred shares, resulting in a net loss of $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 60%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the matters described above. We expect to continue to record net losses in future periods until such time as we have sufficient revenue from product sales to offset our operating expenses.

Cash Flows

Three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020

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

	Three months ended		Three months ended
	March 31, 2021		March 31, 2020		Change
	$		$		$		%
Cash flows used in operating activities	(2,638,333	)	(2,173,127	)	(465,206	)	21.4	%
Cash flows (used in) from investing activities	(18,026	)	1,007,513		(1,025,539	)	-101.8	%
Cash flows from financing activities	217,266,516		2,151,780		215,114,736		9997.1	%
Increase in cash	214,610,157		986,166		213,623,991		21662.1	%
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	61,991,703		510,586		61,481,117		12041.3	%
Cash and cash equivalents , end of period	276,601,860		1,496,752		275,105,108		18380.1	%

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $2.6 million, compared to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $0.4 million, or 21%. The increase in cash used in operations primarily resulted from the increase in our operating loss, as well inventory purchases of approximately $0.3 million related to our preparation for commercialization of our TRUFORMA® product, as well as changes in working capital items, offset in part by an increase in non-cash expenses including stock-based compensation of approximately $1.3 million, loss on fixed asset dispositions of approximately $0.2 million and positive changes in other non-cash items.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $18,026, compared to cash from investing activities of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or 102%. The decrease primarily resulted from cash received from the repurchase of our previously prepaid lease for approximately $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $217.3 million, compared to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $215.1 million, or 9,997%. Cash from financing activities in the first quarter of 2021 primarily resulted from approximately $199.5 million of proceeds from the February 2021 public offering of our common shares, partially offset by stock issuance costs of approximately $14.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception in May 2015. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $105.0 million. We have funded our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of our equity and equity-related securities and the exercise of stock options and warrants.

At March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $276.6 million, inventory of approximately $0.3 million, prepaid expenses and deposits of approximately $1.4 million, accounts receivable of $8,535 and tax credits receivable of approximately $0.2 million. At March 31, 2021, current assets amounted to approximately $278.5 million and current liabilities were approximately $2.0 million, resulting in working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately $276.5 million.

On March 7, 2021, we exchanged the 12 issued and outstanding shares of our Series 1 Preferred Shares for 24,719,101 common shares valued at $44.0 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, warrants and stock options to purchase 625,000 and 1,632,776 common shares, respectively were exercised, resulting in additional cash proceeds of approximately $0.7 million.

In December 2018, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. under which we may sell pursuant to the universal shelf registration statement common shares in the United States only, from time to time, for up to $50.0 million and which was amended on March 25, 2019 to $10.0 million in aggregate sales proceeds in "at the market" transactions. No sales of common shares were made under the sales agreement, and the program was inactive at March 31, 2021.

On October 17, 2017 we entered into a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital facility with Equidebt LLC, one of our shareholders (the “Equidebt Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility become due and payable on October 17, 2022. We can make two borrowings per month under the Equidebt Facility, each of which must be for a minimum of $250,000. No amounts were outstanding under the Equidebt Facility at March 31, 2021.

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

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

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current or future product candidates;

•

the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;

•

the cost of manufacturing our current and future product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize;

•

the cost of commercialization activities including marketing, sales, service, customer support and distribution costs;

•

the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

•

the costs associated with being a public company;

•

our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;

•

the scope and terms of our business plans from time to time, and our ability to realize upon our business plans;

•

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing possible patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of any such litigation; and

•

the costs associated with additional business development or mergers and acquisitions activity

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Outstanding Share Data

The only class of outstanding voting equity securities of the Company are the common shares. As of May 10, 2021,

•

there are 974,350,084 common shares issued and outstanding.

•

there are stock options outstanding under our Stock Option Plan to acquire an aggregate of 34,862,724 common shares.

•

there are common share purchase warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 197,917 common shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share issued in February 2020.

•

there are common share purchase warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 366,585 common shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share issued in April 2020.

•

there are common share purchase warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 276,500 common shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share issued in May 2020.

•

there are common share purchase warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 231,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.16 per share issued in July 2020.

•

All of the currently outstanding warrants also have a “cashless exercise” feature which is applicable in certain circumstances. The cashless exercise feature could result in the potential issuance of common shares based upon the “in-the-money” value of the applicable warrants at the time of exercise of the applicable warrants. The number of the common shares that may be issued is not determinable. However, the number of common shares that are issuable is based upon a formula contained in the applicable warrants, which determines the number of common shares issuable by dividing the “in-the-money” value (based upon the then current market price, as provided in the applicable warrants) by the then current market price, and multiplying this result by the number of common shares that are issuable under the applicable warrants pursuant to cash exercise.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and us (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”) which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing our TRUFORMATM diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. Heska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the Defendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. On May 10, 2021, the Defendants filed an updated answer and counterclaims to Heska’s amended complaint alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices claims against Heska. Discovery is ongoing. We believe that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

If we are unable to establish an effective direct sales capability, our ability to market and sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue will be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of our experience with the initial commercialization of TRUFORMA^®, we have recently changed our sales strategy to focus on enhancing our internal capability to sell our existing and future products. As part of this strategic change, we are hiring additional sales personnel and sales support staff. We expect that expanding our internal sales capability will increase our compensation and other expenses. While members of our management team are experienced in the marketing, sale and distribution of animal diagnostic products, we as a company have not previously commercialized any products and there are significant risks involved in building and managing a sales organization, including our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified individuals, generate sufficient sales leads, provide adequate training to sales and marketing personnel, and effectively oversee a geographically dispersed sales team. If we are unable to build an effective sales organization, our ability to sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue will be materially and adversely affected.

We have used third parties to assist in the sales and distribution of our products. If these third parties are not successful in selling our products or do not adequately perform their obligations, our ability to market and sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue could be materially and adversely affected.

We have used third parties to assist in the sales and distribution of our TRUFORMA^® instrument and related assays. We cannot assure you that these third parties will be successful in selling our products or that they will satisfy their obligations to us. If our sales and distribution partners are not successful in selling our products, or do not adequately perform their obligations, our ability to sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue could be materially and adversely affected.
